Chapter 3 Master
The Japanese artillery fire stopped, heavy machine guns began to scan, and more than 20 Japanese soldiers were marching forward in groups of three or five, kneeling on the ground and firing on one leg.
Zhang Junhao and the old squad leader were close together, observing the movements of the Japanese army closely.
Zhang Junhao knew that it was very likely that he would be beaten into a sieve by the Japanese army, because the Japanese firepower completely covered the Li company's command.
The Japanese heavy machine gun was set up in a bush on a small high ground. The distance was too far and there was no way to destroy it.
All the Japanese who rushed over were well-trained and had extremely strong individual combat capabilities.
The Japanese devils seemed loose in formation, but in fact they cooperated with each other. Three or five people in groups. When some people advanced, the other part knelt on the ground and shot on one leg. Although more than twenty Japanese devils all used 38 large-scale rifles, everyone had room to shoot.
On the other hand, his team was completely suppressed by the Japanese firepower. Not only did the militia not have much chance to fire, but even the shell guns in the military command could only be heard occasionally. If this continues, the entire army will inevitably be wiped out.
The old squad leader shouted in Zhang Junhao's ears: "Junhao, Major Zhang and Captain Li received instructions from the Third War Zone and the Military Command Headquarters. We decided to escort the US pilot to the direction of Jinhua and go to Lishui Airport. I'll cover you, you can retreat quickly."
Zhang Junhao smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Squad leader, we were bitten by the Japanese army, where can we retreat?"
The old squad leader looked at the head and observed that a bullet shot and his hat was knocked away.
The old squad leader was so scared that he trembled and quickly lay down.
The old squad leader's hair turned gray.
Zhang Junhao took out four grenades from his trouser legs, handed them two to the old squad leader, and asked in a low voice: "Can you use it?"
The old squad leader held the grenade in both hands, as if holding a hot potato, with curious expression on his face and shook his head repeatedly.
Zhang Junhao quickly explained to the old squad leader how to use the grenade.
After hearing Zhang Junhao's words, the old squad leader looked at Zhang Junhao's eyes and asked curiously: "Who taught you?"
Zhang Junhao grinned and deliberately half-jokingly said, "Let's learn without a teacher!"
The old squad leader stroked the ring and asked in a low voice: "Pull off the pin and hit it hard, won't it explode in your hand?"
Zhang Junhao shook his head and said, "There will be a 4-5 second delay. If you knock it, you can also count it silently in your heart and then throw it away! Don't worry! The Japanese have extremely high technological level and safety is guaranteed."
The old squad leader nodded.
Zhang Junhao looked at a bush on the side and whispered: "When the Japanese army approached, we threw grenades at the same time and ran to the bush together."
The old squad leader looked at the bushes, then looked at Chief Li, and nodded repeatedly. The terrain of that line was relatively complex, with more obstructions, so it was relatively safe to withdraw.
Zhang Junhao and the old squad leader pressed the bullets into the gun together. After the bullets were pressed, the old squad leader said casually: "Junhao, I told you that I am the New Fourth Army. My purpose of joining the militia is to allow the entire militia to join the New Fourth Army guerrillas."
Zhang Junhao frowned and nodded slightly.
Zhang Junhao actually has a natural sense of identity with the New Fourth Army, as if he was also the New Fourth Army. How could this happen? Zhang Junhao couldn't figure it out.
The old squad leader grinned, and his lonely yellow teeth were revealed.
"If I die in battle, don't be sad. It is the most honorable thing to die for the country. Now that the country is in trouble, as a man, we should fight bravely to fight the enemy. We must be Yue Wumu and serve the country with loyalty."
Zhang Junhao nodded vigorously.
The old squad leader continued: "If I die in battle, you will continue to escort the US pilots to the safe area. The current US military is our Allied forces. These US pilots took off from the Hornet because they flew the B-25 bomber and went to bomb Japan. After the bombing, they flew over. Because they didn't know the way to Quzhou Airport, the fuel was exhausted and they had to force the landing in our place. They were all heroes, and their feats would greatly encourage the Chinese people's confidence in the war of resistance."
Zhang Junhao frowned. He couldn't understand what the old squad leader said, but his intuition told him that he had no choice but to protect the US military pilot.
Zhang Junhao looked at Company Commander Li, where there were three American pilots. Zhang Junhao looked at the gray sky, and thoughts were full of thoughts in his mind, and he was in awe of the US pilots.
The sky is so familiar that Zhang Junhao feels that he has often taken planes to the sky.
"The Japanese are only twenty meters away from us." The old squad leader suddenly whispered.
Zhang Junhao quickly returned to reality from his muddy thoughts, held the grenade in his right hand, hooked the pull ring in his middle finger with his left hand, and whispered: "Prepare to throw the grenade, you can do it as I move."
Zhang Junhao suddenly pulled off the pins associated with the pull-up ring, knocked on the buttstock, and shouted loudly: "One to two~"
Zhang Junhao tried his best to throw the grenade in the direction of the Japanese.
The old squad leader did as Zhang Junhao's movements and threw the grenade out.
After two explosions, Zhang Junhao heard the Japanese scream.
Zhang Junhao pulled off a riveter and pulled the ring again, knocked and threw it away.
The old squad leader also pulled off a riveter and pulled the ring again, knocked and threw it away.
After two more "boom" explosions, Zhang Junhao clamped five 38-large rifles with his left hand, carried the pants with ammunition in his right hand, and ran to the side with his waist.
After running for more than ten meters, bullets shot in large quantities. Zhang Junhao jumped forward and slid his butt into the low-lying area. The old squad leader then jumped in.
Zhang Junhao and the old squad leader fired cold guns at the Japanese.
Zhang Junhao's accuracy shocked the old squad leader. After firing more than a dozen shots, Zhang Junhao actually shot three Japanese devils to death.
The old squad leader knew that it was not easy to shoot the Japanese. The Japanese all used heavy machine gun fire to suppress them, and kept moving around. The range that could be observed when lying in a low-lying place was extremely small. As long as you probe the head, there would inevitably be bullets. The chance of firing was only for a moment, and it was impossible to aim at it at all, so you could only shoot blindly.
If Zhang Junhao was given enough time to aim, wouldn’t Zhang Junhao kill a Japanese man with one shot?
Expert! Expert!
The old squad leader secretly gave Zhang Junhao a thumbs up.
After Zhang Junhao shot for a while, he took out two grenades from his pants, handed one to the old squad leader, and whispered: "Try to throw it away as far as possible. Let's take advantage of the explosion of the grenade and run over quickly."
The old squad leader nodded repeatedly while reaching out to take the grenade.
Zhang Junhao and the old squad leader threw a grenade into the distance almost at the same time. When the grenade exploded, they immediately crawled out of the low-lying area, ran a few steps, then fell over and rolled over together.
Zhang Junhao used his hands and feet, dragged five rifles and pants with ammunition, climbed quickly for two meters, and then quickly got into the bushes.
As soon as Zhang Junhao entered the bush, he lay behind a huge rock, pressing bullets into the gun while observing the Japanese devils through weeds and small branches.
After the old squad leader came to Zhang Junhao, he immediately observed the enemy situation.
Zhang Junhao took out two grenades and two bullet boxes from his trouser legs, handed the gun belt and ammunition pants in hand to the old squad leader, looked at his eyes and said with a serious look: "Let me attract the Japanese army here, hurry up and run to Chief Li and move with them."
The old squad leader said loudly: "Junhao, I have experience in fighting guerrillas, so I will attract the devils. I order you to run to Chief Li quickly and transfer with them."
Zhang Junhao had pressed five bullets into the gun at this time. After setting up the gun, he looked through the weeds and branches, turned around and stared at the old squad leader's eyes, shook his head, and asked in a low voice: "Can you do those Japanese?"
The old squad leader was stunned and thought he could not do it.
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "You are the New Fourth Army, and your more important goal is to let all the militias join the New Fourth Army guerrillas."
