Chapter 2-The Brave Victory!
"Enemies! Hide!"
Battalion Commander Zhang shouted, but it was still too late. On the hillside, the light machine gun spat out flames and instantly swallowed the lives of several young soldiers.
"Protect Comrade Su Yan!"
At this critical moment, Battalion Commander Zhang did not forget his mission. He first pulled Su Yan off the carriage and then hid behind the carriage with a few soldiers.
The horse carriage was hit by the bullets and splinters flew everywhere. Battalion Commander Zhang saw that the situation was not good and quickly hid behind a rock with Su Yan. Only then did they temporarily be safe.
However, the Japanese had launched a sneak attack, and many soldiers had died in the first round of gunfire before they could react. In just a few breaths, they had already lost more than 30 soldiers.
Battalion Commander Zhang, who was hiding behind a rock, calmed down and analyzed decisively,""Judging from the gunshots, there should only be a dozen or so of them. It's probably a small team. No wonder these sons of b * tches only know how to shoot from the mountain!”
"Platoon Leader One, take your men and sneak up! Second Platoon, follow me and provide cover. Third Platoon, stay behind and protect Comrade Su Yan!”
Battalion Commander Zhang quickly gave the order. Everyone knew that if they didn't destroy this Japanese army, it would be very difficult to complete the mission.
The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd platoons followed Battalion Commander Zhang's orders and rushed up. However, the enemy's light machine gun on the top of the mountain was too threatening to the soldiers.
More and more soldiers fell on the way. Battalion Commander Zhang led his men to hide behind a rock. The soldiers beside him came up and said with a sobbing tone,"Battalion Commander, my bolt is frozen!”
Not only this soldier, but many soldiers could not pull their guns open at this moment. Even if they could use them normally, the bullets they were given were almost used up.
When Su Yan saw this scene from afar, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Although they still had 70 to 80 people who could fight, the sound of gunfire was sparse compared to the dozens of people on the other side!
Not far away, Battalion Commander Zhang and the others were suppressed to the point that they could not take even half a step forward. The squad that was flanking the side of the first row was also discovered by the Japanese, and a few infantrymen blocked the way of the first row.
It wasn't that these warriors weren't brave, but there was a visible difference in equipment and firepower between the two sides, and this difference couldn't be made up for.
"If we want to get rid of these devils, we have to get rid of that machine gun!”Su Yan's eyes quickly locked onto the machine gun that was spewing fire on the mountain in the distance.
As long as the machine gun was still firing, it would be difficult for Battalion Commander Zhang and the others to charge up the mountain.
Su Yan glanced at the soldier's corpse beside him and picked up the gun on the ground. While the third platoon leader was still paying attention to the situation in front of him, he jumped out from behind the rock!
"Comrade Su! Come back!"
The Third Platoon Leader shouted anxiously behind him, but Su Yan ignored him. He ignored the Third Platoon Leader's shouts and the stray bullets that kept whistling past his ears. Su Yan used the rocks in the valley to get closer to the front line where the two sides were fighting.
He had received systematic training in the Soviet Union in this life, and his military accomplishments were not bad. In fact, he was much better than the average soldier.
Su Yan hid behind a rock. After he estimated the distance, he raised the Hanyang Zao in his hand and held his breath.
Su Yan aimed at the Machine Gunner's shoulder, eyes, and scope, then pulled the trigger without hesitation!
A gunshot rang out, and the Japanese Machine Gunner 300 meters away fell to the ground. His helmet was sent flying!
Seeing this, Battalion Commander Zhang was overjoyed."Damn it, well done! Who fired the gun? Kill that Japanese officer!”
Battalion Commander Zhang was extremely excited. However, when he turned around, he found that the other soldiers were all looking in the same direction with strange expressions.
Just as he was in a daze, another gunshot rang out. The loading hand of the Japanese soldier was also shot down.
Only then did Battalion Commander Zhang clearly see who the shooter was.
"Comrade Su Yan, good marksmanship!"
Battalion Commander Zhang didn't expect that Su Yan was not only an intellectual, but also an extremely accurate marksman!
Su Yan didn't say much. After two shots, he decisively changed his hiding position. Just as he was about to kill another Japanese, he pulled the bolt and realized that he had run out of bullets.
Seeing Su Yan's condition, Battalion Commander Zhang hurriedly said to a few soldiers beside him,"Who has more rifle bullets?”
"Battalion Commander, we've run out of bullets!"
The soldiers looked at each other, their voices filled with sadness and despair.
If they had enough bullets, they didn't doubt that Su Yan would be able to take out the entire Japanese team. But now, they really didn't have any bullets left!
Su Yan was stunned when he heard what the soldiers said.
The two sides had only fought for ten minutes, and they had already run out of bullets? It seemed that the situation of the 8th Route Army was more difficult than he had imagined!
Battalion Commander Zhang's eyes were red. Dozens of soldiers had fallen in this battle, but he had no intention of retreating. This was a mission given to him by his superiors. Even if they had to die, they had to open a path for Su Yan!
"Everyone, listen to my order!”
Battalion Commander Zhang pulled out the red tasseled machete from his back, and the soldiers beside him also loaded their bayonet. Each of them had an expression of facing death unflinchingly!
Battalion Commander Zhang was the first to stand up from behind the rock and roared,""The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Comrades, kill!!!”
"Kill-"
Waves of battle cries echoed in the valley. Battalion Commander Zhang's roar instantly ignited the entire company of soldiers. Everyone charged up the mountain. People in front kept falling, and people kept rushing up from behind!
Su Yan also rushed up the hill. The sound of metal colliding, deafening shouts, and the screams of the Japanese
……
All the voices gathered together and echoed in the valley!
After a quarter of an hour, the battle finally came to an end as Battalion Commander Zhang chopped off the Japanese officer's head.
Battalion Commander Zhang, who was covered in blood, stood in place with his saber in hand. After a long while, he finally came back to his senses and hurriedly asked the person beside him,"Where is Comrade Su Yan?”
"I'm here!"
Su Yan's body was also stained with blood, but it was the blood of the Japanese.
Seeing that Su Yan was unharmed, Battalion Commander Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly ordered the other soldiers,"The rest of you, clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses. We can't stay here for long!”
Although this encounter ended in victory, neither Su Yan nor Battalion Commander Zhang were happy.
The price paid for this battle was too great.
Most of the warriors had sacrificed themselves on the way to the summit.
Battalion Commander Zhang's company commander had died. The original 130-odd soldiers were now only left with 30-odd soldiers.
The surviving warriors were all injured!
