Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bullets hit the ground, forming craters and sending mud flying everywhere.
Kong Jie led the platoon of guards and lowered their heads to avoid the Japanese's bullets while counterattacking with the rifles in their hands.
However, the firearms in their hands were very poor, and they could not compare to the Japanese's 38 big guns.
Their marksmanship was also poor. As they had to dodge the Japanese's shots, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment did not have time to aim at them. They could only shoot at the Japanese's position.
They had been fighting for five to six minutes, but they had only killed two Japanese soldiers on the other side, while their side had lost more than ten soldiers.
The Japanese were closing in, and the situation was precarious!
"Regiment commander, we can't go on like this. The Japanese are coming soon. Why don't we let our brothers take you away first? We'll stay behind to cover for you.”
The platoon leader of the security platoon came over and said anxiously.
Bang!
Kong Jie poked his head out slightly and fired a shot at the Japanese before squatting down in a hurry.
Kong Jie glared at him when he heard what the platoon leader said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I, Kong Jie, would abandon my soldiers and run away alone?”
"But…"
"No buts! We'll die together!" Kong Jie roared.”
"Oh right, remember to keep two grenades. Don't throw them all. When the Japanese come up, we'll die together with them!”
"Yes…"
At this moment.
Whoosh--
Whoosh--
Sharp sounds rang out.
It was the sound of mortar shells!
Kong Jie and the others instinctively lowered their heads and lay down.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The sound of five or six shells exploding rang out, shaking the ground in a small area.
The explosion sent mud flying and landed on the heads of Kong Jie and the others.
Kong Jie shook his head and shook off all the soil on it. He spat out a mouthful of soil and cursed,
" Bah, the Japanese actually have mortars. Why didn't I see them just now…"
The captain of the security platoon had sharp eyes. He looked ahead and was a little stunned. He said,
"Regiment commander, it doesn't seem like the Japanese's mortars. Instead, the mortars seem to be used to bomb the Japanese.”
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Kong Jie was stunned and hurriedly looked forward.
After the mortar shell exploded, more than half of the 200 Japanese soldiers in the front were killed or injured. The remaining Japanese were also dizzy from the explosion.
What was going on?
This question popped up in Kong Jie's head.
Beep beep beep…
Beep beep beep…
The familiar 8th Route Army bugle sounded.
Not far away, Li Yun Long led a new group of soldiers and rushed over…
……
The battle ended very quickly.
More than half of the 200 Japanese had already been killed by five or six mortar shells, and the rest of them were all in a daze.
By the time the new group arrived in front of them, they had yet to organize an effective defense.
In addition, the new regiment had just received a 38-foot cover and light and heavy machine guns from Li Tiancheng. It was very easy to deal with the incomplete Japanese.
While they were cleaning up the battlefield, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie bumped into each other.
"Hey, so it's you, Old Li. I was wondering who came to help!" Kong Jie said in surprise.”
Li Yunlong grinned." Hehe, of course it's me. Who else do you think came to help you?!"”
"But I say, kid, you're too useless. What's going on? You're actually being chased by a squadron of Japanese. If I didn't come over to help, I'm afraid you'll die here today.”
Kong Jie sighed." Sigh, I'm really unlucky today. I originally wanted to go to the Japanese's territory and launch a sneak attack to get some supplies. However, I was targeted by the Japanese…"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. By the way, Old Li, where did you go? You were the one who fired the five or six mortar shells just now!”
Li Yunlong said proudly," Who else could it be but me? Let me tell you, I'm rich!"”
"Rich?"
Kong Jie was puzzled.
Li Yunlong liked to brag.
Before Kong Jie could react, he pulled Kong Jie and walked towards his own unit.
He then pointed at the pile of weapons and equipment and said proudly,"
"Look, the Japanese have 20 light mortars!”
"Hehe, there are 10 light machine guns and 3 Maxim heavy machine guns. Don't underestimate them, they are very powerful. They can fire 400 to 500 bullets in a minute!”
"There are more than 20 boxes of grenades next to them. They are not made in our border area. They are Japanese cantaloupes…"
Li Yunlong continued walking with Kong Jie and said,"
"But these things are not rare. The key is this…"
Kong Jie's mind was in a daze. He was like a marionette, following Li Yunlong wherever he went.
However, Li Yunlong hadn't finished speaking.
He pointed at something in front of Li Yun Long and shouted,"
"Oh my god, Old Li, what is this?”
"Why is it so big that it needs a pack horse to drag it?”
Kong Jie was pointing at the ten 152mm Howitzers!
Looking at Kong Jie's shocked expression, Li Yun Long couldn't be happier.
His face was smiling like a chrysanthemum as he said happily,"Hehe, this one is called a howitzer. The power of the shell is equivalent to that of five or six mortars. It can create a two-meter-long crater and can hit more than ten thousand meters!”
What? Howitzer?
It could create a pit two meters deep and shoot more than 10,000 meters?
Kong Jie's mouth was wide open, and his face was filled with disbelief!
