HCB Chapter 576 Major Michael
Chapter 576 Major Michael
He only had 30 shells. He had already fired more than shells, so only a dozen shells were left.
The Japs seemed to have gone crazy and were charging towards them.
There were still more than fifty Japanese soldiers, and in order to avoid mortar bombardment, they were all divided into groups of three. Each group was about ten meters apart, and they approached them with the help of alternating cover from big trees.
And there were only a few of them. There were three artillerymen and only six brothers intercepting in the front, including three with crutch guns and three with rifles.
Although there were grenade launchers, there were too many trees and it was difficult to use them.
If Yuan Shuai hadn't taught them the techniques and tactics of jungle warfare in the past few days, they would have changed positions after firing a few shots, while ensuring the triangular formation and alternating to cover the transfer.
At the same time, the riflemen covered the machine gunners to ensure fire suppression on the enemy.
With the fire support of mortars, they were able to ensure that their brothers could survive while killing the Japanese.
However, the Japs seemed to be crazy and had no intention of retreating at all.
Wang Shuncheng could only let the mortars continue bombing, and at the same time hoped that Yuan Shuai’s people could send a few brothers to help.
He didn't have a radio here, so there was no way to contact Yuan Shuai.
But Yuan Shuai's infantry artillery had adjusted its direction and was providing artillery support in his direction.
Continuous infantry artillery exploded in the Japanese troops. Although some shells did not hit the Japanese, they had already formed fire suppression on the Japanese. At the same time, the sound of the explosion, shrapnel and gunpowder smoke formed a psychological deterrent to the Japanese.
Not only that, Yuan Shuai asked Hu Dacai, Fu Yidao and Tie Xiaogang to rush towards Wang Shuncheng to provide support.
With the fire support of the infantry artillery and the support of Hu Dacai and his two men, Wang Shuncheng successfully killed the entire Japanese squadron.
The battle was over and everyone was extremely excited.
But Marshal Yuan had reminded them that this was the Japanese's territory and they didn't know where the Japanese were. So, no matter how many victories they won, they could not cheer loudly for fear of being heard by the Japanese in the distance.
All brothers quickly cleaned up the battlefield and collected weapons, ammunition and various supplies.
Two infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, an artillery squad, a transport team, and a Japanese battalion headquarters.
Especially the Japanese transport team, which carried a lot of food and ammunition.
This made the brothers so happy that they couldn't stop smiling for a long time.
Although many weapons were destroyed by grenades, mortars and bullets.
But they still collected eight pheasant necks, more than thirty crutch handles, more than thirty grenade launchers, a lot of ammunition, canned food, Japanese wine jugs, several Japanese medicine boxes and other supplies.
"Damn, there are so many weapons and ammunition, but we don't have enough manpower. It will take a long time to move them!"
"The Japanese reinforcements won't come!"
"Shut up your crow mouth and move away!"
"We've finished moving, let's drink. I got several bottles of Japanese sake!"
All the brothers were helping to carry weapons, ammunition and various supplies.
However, Wang Shuncheng suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ran to Yuan Shuai carrying the ammunition box and asked.
"Boss, are we still going to retreat? With so many weapons, ammunition, and food supplies, I'm afraid we can't evacuate!"
Yuan Shuai pondered.
"We have been fighting here for so long, the Japanese should be on their way here. If we don't retreat, we will definitely fight them again!"
"But what should we do with so many weapons, ammunition and food supplies?"
"Find a place to hide, and come back to get it when we have expanded our team!"
"It seems that this is the only way!"
Wang Shuncheng nodded helplessly.
"Boss, the Japanese radio station was blown up! There is no way to repair it without replacement parts!"
At this time, Little Digu ran over holding a radio that had been blown up.
"Damn it, hurry up and retreat. Go to the back and stand guard and lay mines. If you see the Japanese, retreat immediately!"
"understand!"
Little Sweet Potato quickly turned back, but he didn't call for anyone.
After all, there are not enough people here, and it will take a long time to move so many weapons, ammunition and supplies.
A few hours later, Yuan Shuai and others hid the weapons and ammunition.
They had dug a lot of air-raid shelters before.
Now they were ready to withdraw. They placed their weapons, ammunition, food and various supplies in the air-raid shelters, blocked them, camouflaged them, cleaned up all traces, and then each of them evacuated with five days' worth of food and a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
Almost everyone carried a pistol, a rifle, a crutch, and a grenade launcher.
The weight carried by each person reached almost one hundred pounds.
But they had no other choice.
In this hellhole, they have no reinforcements, and the only ones who can help and save them are themselves.
Not long after they left, a Japanese detachment came to scout and triggered the booby trap buried by Xiao Digu.
This is a small minefield with several booby traps connected in series.
As a result, an entire squad was blown down.
Among more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, seven were killed on the spot. The remaining five lay on the ground, covering their bleeding wounds and wailing in pain.
The Japanese soldiers far behind heard the sound and quickly ran towards here.
When the marshal and others in the distance heard the sound, they quickly quickened their pace and continued to move forward, retreating along Line A.
"Damn it, I haven't seen Master Du and the others after running for so long. Where did Master Du and the others go?"
"There are footprints all along the way, just follow them!"
"No, there are more footprints here."
"That's right, there are only ten people in Du Shao's group, but there are obviously more than a dozen footprints here!"
"It's over. Master Du and the others won't be caught by the devils!"
"It shouldn't be possible. Young Master Du has ten men. Even if they encounter the devils, they will open fire. There are no signs of fighting here. Moreover, these footprints are obviously very large. The devils are all bow-legged and not tall, so their footprints are not big, so!"
Yuan Shuai frowned and continued.
"They may have met foreigners, so they must have followed them!"
"What? You should have informed us at least!"
"Damn it, Master Du is such a bastard. He left without informing us and left us to cover their retreat. What a bastard!"
"It's useless to say these. The Japanese behind us are definitely still chasing us. Arrange people to set up booby traps in the back, and set them up in sections to slow down the Japanese's pursuit. It's getting dark! As long as we wait until dark, the Japanese will know that there are booby traps and mines along the way, and they will not continue to chase us. We will have a chance to shake off the Japanese!"...
Far ahead, there was a group of foreigners walking on the road.
Du Shao is also inside.
Mr. Du was caught by these people on the road.
However, there was a translator among these people who did not make things difficult for Du Shao. He just confiscated the weapons of Du Shao and others and took Du Shao back with him.
These people were guerrillas deployed by the British Army in Myitkyina.
This is just one of the companies.
The company commander, Major Mai Hami, is a very cunning guy.
This time, he sent people to scout the location and situation of Yuan Shuai's team, left a map, and asked the Japanese to attack Yuan Shuai, and then used Yuan Shuai to delay the Japanese, leaving them plenty of space and time to retreat.
"Major, how far do we have to go!"
After walking a long way, Du Shao began to feel guilty.
