Chapter 158 Someone Betrayed?
President Cao almost thought he had read it wrong!
The Imperial Army, who had just glared at him, suddenly rushed forward like a chicken blood, and was desperate to escape, with a very fast speed.
Although I don’t understand why their changes are so big, I didn’t say much.
Because this happened to be the result I wanted to see: quickly clear out the mines on the official road so that the main force behind could advance safely.
Without thinking too much, he followed the Imperial Army closely with more than a dozen subordinates.
"boom……"
A new landmine exploded in the middle of the Imperial Army. Cao Chang was shocked and immediately ordered his subordinates to strengthen their vigilance to prevent any more trouble from the Imperial Army.
As a result, they were shocked by the reaction of the Imperial Army again. They were not affected at all. After the explosion sounded, they did not stop for a while and continued to move forward.
Chang Cao was even more puzzled, and his stomach was full of questions.
Could it be that these Imperial Army soldiers were all frightened by their threats just now, and were so desperate to avoid being killed by themselves?
This was the only explanation that President Cao could think of. He looked at the Imperial Army running faster and faster in front of him, and decisively ordered: "Let's chase them, keep an eye on them, and report them immediately if there is any situation."
The puppet army company ran in the middle of the team, constantly looking back to observe the distance between the main force of the Japanese and puppet army and itself.
When he first arrived at the forward, the main force was fifty meters behind him.
If he rebels there, the main force of the Japanese can come with just one surprise attack, and then encircle and annihilate them all, and he will definitely not be able to escape.
After the urgent march just now, the main force had been left more than a hundred meters behind.
If you rebel at this time, it will take at least one minute from the beginning of the reaction and killing here.
There were only twelve Japanese soldiers monitoring everyone behind. The company commander was confident that he would kill them within ten seconds. In this case, he would have at least fifty seconds to transfer, and at least 80% chance of slipping away from the Japanese army's nose.
As for what to do after escaping, the company commander has already figured out.
He was confident that at least 30% of his subordinates would continue to follow him, with someone in his hands and a gun. As long as he left and settled, he could survive anywhere.
"Order the machine gunner to prepare for shooting!" The company commander explained to his confidant in a low voice.
"Seeing the Japanese machine gunner, as soon as I fired, I immediately turned around and fired the Japanese machine gun team."
"The others prepared grenades, one by one. As soon as my gun fired, I immediately pulled the string and threw it at the Japanese, and then followed me to retreat into the mountain to the east!"
Cao Chang didn't know that the God of Death had waved to him again, and continued to urge his subordinates to speed up and keep up with the Imperial Army.
As he ran, not only did he begin to relax his vigilance against the Imperial Army, but his soldiers also relaxed.
Suddenly, Chief Cao saw a box cannon appear in the crowd, and the black muzzle was aimed at him. The person holding the box cannon was the company commander of the Imperial Army who didn't dare to stand up straight in front of him just now.
The two were very close. Cao Changqing saw the corners of the company commander's mouth curled up, and then a sneer flashed out...
"Enemy attack..."
Before the two words were shouted out from Cao Chang's mouth, the gunshot of "pah..." sounded, and a stinging pain quickly spread from his chest to his whole body. He opened his mouth and wanted to shout out the words he hadn't finished just now, but he had no strength to speak.
His eyes were filled with despair and reluctance, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
"Dadada..."
The machine gunner who deliberately ran to the end turned around at the same time, held the machine gun in his arms as a submachine gun, and hugged the fire at the Japanese.
The Japanese machine gunner's reaction was exactly the same as Cao Chang, and he never expected that the Imperial Army would rebel.
I realized the danger when I heard the gunshot and wanted to lie on the ground.
But the bullets flew too fast. As soon as they were lying down, a few bullets had already penetrated into their bodies.
"Shit..."
The machine gunner could even hear the sound of bullets entering the flesh clearly, and then he lost consciousness and collapsed on the ground with weakness.
It was not until this time that the other Japanese reacted, quickly lay down, raised their rifles and fought back.
"Grenade...hidden..."
A Japanese man looked up and saw dozens of black shadows flying towards him. He stopped firing his guns, hugging his head and shouting in horror.
Other Japanese who were preparing to shoot also realized the danger and stopped shooting one after another, lying on the ground with their heads in their arms...
"Boom...boom..."
Explosions rang out one after another on the battlefield, and the hot air waves and flying fragments swept across all the Japanese like a storm.
When the explosion stopped, the black smoke slowly dissipated. There were only seven of the nine riflemen left, and the other two were blown away so that their bodies were gone. The riflemen who could be seen were lying on the ground motionless, with bloody wounds everywhere...
The Imperial Army, more than ten meters away, had left the official road, spread his legs and ran into the mountains east of the official road, and had already run dozens of meters away.
When the vanguard troops fired their guns, the deputy captain was discussing the next battle with the two captains.
When I heard the gunshots, I didn't realize the danger. I thought that the vanguard army had the Imperial Army who did not obey the command, and the Imperial Army was enforcing military laws.
It was not until the explosion came that I realized something was wrong.
He frowned and shouted: "No, something happened to the vanguard troops!"
Before he could finish his words, he started running to the front of the convoy and saw the scene of more than a dozen soldiers slumping to the ground after the black smoke dissipated.
Quickly raise the telescope and search for the Imperial Army in the vanguard's army.
They had already left the road for dozens of meters and were fleeing forward frantically.
"Bageya Road, the Imperial Army in the vanguard army betrayed us!" The deputy captain instantly understood what was going on with the explosion just now.
"Brush..." and pulled out the command knife, aimed the sharp blade at the national rescue army who was fleeing, gritted his teeth and ordered: "The first team killed me, I will cut off all the rebels' heads!"
"Hi!"
The team leader took the order loudly and immediately summoned the troops scattered next to the convoy. After half a minute, he left the official road, followed the team leader as his head, and screamed and chased after him.
The Imperial Army had already run two hundred meters away, but the deputy captain believed in his troops more.
They are physically strong, physically fit, and full, and will definitely catch up with those traitors.
He raised his telescope again and wanted to witness the scene of the other party being massacred by pursuers.
But things went against my wishes. More than 60 rebels were divided into three and fled to the mountains...
"Baga!" A glimmer flashed across the deputy captain's face, thinking about whether the first team should also divide the troops to pursue.
"Dadada..."
At this moment, a gunshot came from the flank of the chasing troops. They were obviously caught off guard, and five or six people fell down in just one round of bullets.
The team leader saw it very clearly that although the rebellious Imperial Army divided its troops, they all fled in front of them, and no one turned around to ambush them.
Moreover, the time is so short that even if there are rebels behind the palace and avoid their own eyes, they will not have time to hide, and at most they will block the first team on the spot.
So the one who fired the gun just now was definitely not the rebels.
The deputy captain dared not chase after him: "The one who fired the gun just now must be the one who attacked our national rescue army just now."
"The first team was alone to pursue the rebels. If there were many soldiers who saved the country lurking around us, they would definitely suffer a big loss."
"The messenger will hurry up and catch up with the first team and let them retreat."
"Let those rebels be let go today. As long as they are pacifying for the whole day, we can kill them sooner or later."
The internal strife between the puppet army and the Japanese devils was definitely an unexpected surprise that Liang Hongjiang had never thought of.
The battalion commander gave him the task of slowing down the marching speed of the Japanese and puppet troops and killing dozens of Japanese and puppet troops by the way.
Now that I have this unexpected surprise, my mission has not only been completed, but also far exceeds my goal.
Seeing the Japanese split their troops to chase and kill the puppet army, he realized that a larger fighter waved to him again: to attack the Japanese pursuers and capture the puppet army.
The attack on the pursuers was very smooth. He retreated in just one raid on the Japanese, and then began to divide his troops to pursue the fleeing Imperial Army.
Outside Beizhuang, a trench had appeared, crossing the official road, like a knife, dividing the road into two.
More than a hundred soldiers were scattered in the trench, and they had enough effort to dig out the soil, deepen and widen the trench, build machine gun positions, and dig anti-aircraft holes...
Zhou Cheng ran in and out of the position to ensure that there were no dead ends of shooting in each machine gun position...
"Battery Commander, someone is running towards us!" The guard post reported from a distance.
A figure suddenly appeared at the end of the official road and ran towards the position quickly.
"It's the guard platoon!" The guard post continued to report.
The task of the guard platoon is to sneak attack the Japanese with landmines. According to the order, they will follow the Japanese back to their positions all the way.
Now that someone has been sent back suddenly, Zhou Cheng thought something had happened to them, so he hurried over to meet them.
The two met on the side of the position.
The soldiers who came back from the guard line ran for a long time, and their faces were pale and gasping for a long time. They didn't say a word for a long time.
Zhou Cheng was not anxious when he saw the other party, because he didn't see any nervousness or anxiety on his face, which means that what he brought back was definitely not bad news.
Take out the kettle and hand it over: "Drink a little water first, and report after resting, don't worry!"
"Thank you, battalion commander!" A hint of gratitude flashed across the warrior's face.
After drinking the water, the pale face obviously had a hint of rosy. He was very excited to report: "Battalion Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops had internal conflicts on the march. There was a puppet army rebelling. The platoon leader was leading troops to pursue the puppet troops rebeling the Japanese and striving to capture them."
"Bend!" Zhou Cheng was confused by the news.
On the battlefield in North China, the Japanese army has far surpassed the puppet army and has very strict control over the puppet army. Even if there are puppet troops who want to rebel, the Japanese army will have the strength to calm down in a short period of time and prevent the situation from escalating.
Although there are more puppet troops leaving the city than the Japanese, the overall strength of the Japanese is far greater than that of the puppet troops, and there is no chance of rebellion at all.
But after hearing the other party's report, the puppet army not only rebelled, but also succeeded, otherwise there would be no guard platoon chasing the Imperial Army.
This made Zhou Cheng strange and asked quickly: "Explain clearly why the puppet army rebelled, how did they rebell, and did the Japanese suffer great losses?"
The soldiers from the guard platoon quickly reported: "A company of puppet troops rebelled against the Japanese and escaped more than 60 people, and more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops died. In addition to the Japanese and puppet troops we killed along the way, there were about 200 Japanese and puppet troops escorting the convoy!"
