Chapter 229 Guerrilla Rescue
Gundam rode his horse forward and fired backward at the same time, and it took him a volley of bullets to kill two Japanese soldiers.
Although his shooting skills were not particularly accurate, each shot was very steady. However, the speed of the Japanese cavalry was too fast.
The soldiers of the guard platoon fought back hard under the dense firepower of the Japanese. In just one or two minutes, four or five soldiers were hit by bullets and fell to the ground from their horses, their lives or deaths unknown.
Gundam looked at the remaining 10 or so guards around him. He knew that if they continued like this, they would definitely be wiped out by the Japanese cavalry.
At this critical moment, we must come up with a plan to deal with it. We must find a place to counterattack. If we continue to stay on the horse, we will be shot down one by one by the Japanese cavalry.
His mind was racing, searching for a place to defend against the enemy.
Gundam quickly looked around and found a small temple not far to the left front. They could hide in the temple and attack the Japanese.
The small temple was like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing them a glimmer of hope.
Gao Da said loudly to Li Da Zhuang, "Da Zhuang, there are too many Japanese cavalrymen. There is a small temple in front of us on the left. Let's go inside the temple and deal with the Japanese."
"Yes, Commander."
"Everyone, please pay attention. Go to the small temple in front of you on the left and put up resistance immediately."
Li Dazhuang shouted loudly.
His voice was like a horn, giving the guards a clear goal.
Gundam and his guards rode their horses quickly towards the small temple. Seeing this, the Japanese cavalry behind them whipped their horses' butts desperately, trying to catch up with Gundam and his group.
The dust raised by the horses' hooves filled the air, and the chase between the two sides was like a race between life and death.
After entering the small temple, Gaoda and his group immediately organized a defense line. The 12 guards quickly took up advantageous positions and used the temple's building structure as cover, shooting at the Japanese cavalry chasing them from behind.
When the Japanese cavalry saw Gaoda and his group hiding in the small temple, they jumped off their horses and surrounded the small temple.
Their encirclement was like a tightening net, attempting to catch everyone in the temple.
"Captain, a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers have hidden in the small temple."
The Japanese sergeant reported.
The Japanese squad leader said excitedly: "Yoshi, there must be an important person among this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers, ordering the soldiers to attack the small temple."
There was greed in his eyes, as if he saw an opportunity to make a contribution.
"Hai."
The Japanese sergeant took the order, turned around and began to organize his troops to launch an attack.
The remaining 47 Japanese soldiers in the cavalry squad slowly advanced towards the small temple with guns in hand.
With steady steps and alert eyes, they approached the small temple step by step.
Gaoda saw the devils outside surrounding the small temple and quickly ordered, "Everyone, pay attention. Aim and shoot."
"Be careful about your position and don't expose too much to avoid being hit by bullets."
The soldiers held their rifles tightly, aimed at the Japanese, with firm eyes, and no intention of retreating.
When the Japanese approached the small temple within 80 meters, the soldiers pulled the triggers one after another.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
A fierce burst of gunfire rang out, and the four or five Japanese soldiers walking in front fell to the ground. The Japanese soldiers behind them quickly lay on the ground and fought back.
As expected of well-trained Japanese soldiers, they remained calm and marched forward steadily in the face of such a situation.
Two Japanese machine gunners on the periphery set up their Type 99 light machine guns at a high point to suppress the guards with firepower.
The flames from the machine guns made it difficult for the guards to raise their heads.
Li Dazhuang shouted beside Gaoda: "Commander, there are too many Japanese soldiers. You lead the people away first, and I will cover your retreat."
Gaoda shouted, "Da Zhuang, let's go together. It's not safe to go out now. As long as we hold the small temple, the nearby teams will come to support us after hearing the gunshots."
After saying that, Gundam raised his gun and aimed at the Japanese machine gunner outside and fired a shot, blowing the Japanese machine gunner's head off on the spot.
Although the Japanese had a large number of people, there was no shelter outside the small temple. Therefore, the first wave of attack by the Japanese did not achieve any results. They retreated in disgrace after leaving behind six or seven corpses.
...................
at the same time.
On a small hill about five or six hundred meters away from the small temple, a village guerrilla team was evacuating local residents.
Their task is arduous and important, to ensure the safety of people's lives.
Suddenly, everyone heard a burst of intense gunfire, and the people in the crowd immediately panicked.
"It's over, it's over, the Japs are coming to kill us."
"Are we going to die here today?"
The faces of the common people were filled with fear and their voices were filled with despair.
The members of the village team immediately began to comfort the people.
"Fellow villagers, don't be afraid. The sound of gunfire is still far away from us."
"Even if there are devils, the village team will protect you."
Everyone tried to calm the people down.
"Now please walk into the mountains in an orderly manner."
They directed the people to move to a safe direction.
The guerrilla leader said to the deputy leader beside him: "Fugui, take two people to see what the gunshots are about."
"Yes, Captain."
Fugui turned to the two guerrillas next to him and said, "You two, follow me."
The three guerrillas quickly ran towards the location of the gunfire.
Their figures are like nimble deer, shuttling through the mountains and forests.
A few minutes later.
Fugui led the two men to a small hill, and they cautiously poked their heads out.
The three men saw dozens of Japanese soldiers surrounding a small temple and launching an attack.
The people in the temple were obviously members of the Eighth Route Army.
A guerrilla fighter nearby said to Fugui, "Deputy Captain, the people surrounded in the small temple ahead are soldiers of the Eighth Route Army."
The deputy captain nodded and said, "Xiao Li, go back and inform the captain and ask her to bring people over for rescue."
"Yes, Vice Captain."
Guerrilla fighter Xiao Li quickly ran to the back.
He walked quickly, trying to convey the message to the captain as soon as possible.
It didn't take long.
The guerrilla leader led twenty or thirty team members and quickly came to a small hill not far from the small temple.
"Fugui, how is the situation?"
Fugui saw that it was the captain who came, and quickly said: "Captain Gao, the Eighth Route Army in the small temple is fighting desperately, and the Japanese launched two or three waves of attacks but failed to break in.
I saw that several Eighth Route Army soldiers were injured, and now there are less than eight Eighth Route Army soldiers who can fight. "
The captain nodded and said, "Fugui, we must rescue the Eighth Route Army soldiers inside.
You lead a small team with a machine gun to go around the rear of the Japanese and launch an attack on them.
I will lead the second squad to attack from the side of the small temple."
"Yes, Captain."
The vice-captain responded.
