The chase and ambush battle continued.

Hiraike Ichiro finally figured out one thing, this Tubalu is fighting guerrilla with himself again, this way, from the entrance of Xiaoniu Village to Yangliu Road, it is only a few hundred meters away, and the Hiraike squadron is a nose of ash.

The originally planned positional battle was not fought at all, and the cunning Tubalu chose the location of the battle in this Xiaoniu Village, where there were earthen houses everywhere as cover, and the enemy harassed the battle with a small number of people, and the artillery and machine guns of the Pingchi squadron were difficult to come in handy, as if they were just decorations, and they were pulled out to consume the physical strength of the soldiers in vain.

But I can't chase with all my might, there are too many earthen houses here, who knows if there are any dirt roads hidden in them.

All of them were blown up with cannonballs, and the old devil in Pingchi was reluctant to shell them and burn them with fire? The enemy had not yet been eliminated, the time was too slow, and the food and livestock in the village had not been taken away, so he estimated that the villagers should be hiding under the cover of the dirt road.

Hiraike Ichiro thought very clearly, and chased the enemy out of the small cow village, beyond the small cow village, there was an endless plain area, and then these dirt roads could only be slaughtered by him.

At the same time, the Sharp Knife Company finally retreated behind Yangliu Road under the leadership of the monk.

After that, it was naturally the area where Zhang Dong, the commander of the recruit company, was responsible for the ambush.

The monk met with Zhang Dong, "Lao Zhang, the devil's firepower is very strong, you have to be careful." ”

Zhang Dong said: "Got it, monk, you quickly take your brothers to withdraw first!" ”

"Good!"

After the monk left, Zhang Dong said to the three platoon commanders under his hand: "The task of the sharp knife company has been completed, they have dragged the little devil for more than an hour, and now it's time for us to play, you are also veterans who followed me from the independent company, we can't embarrass the old regiment commander, since the regiment commander has entrusted us with such an important task, we must play with momentum in this ambush battle, do you understand?" ”

"Yes!"

The platoon commander said: "Company commander, why don't we learn to ambush in the house with a sharp knife?" ”

Zhang Dong, who has always said nothing at military operations meetings, is actually a commander with a very military analytical mind, and he said:

"This is the method used by the spearheads, the little devil must have been prepared, besides, the direction of the back door of the earth house has also been occupied by the little devil, and the monk is where they retreated, if we hide in the house and ambush again, the little devil who can't be provoked will directly set fire to the village and burn it down, not to mention, we don't even have the last way to retreat.

So, we're fighting a positional war with the devil this time.

But we can't go head-to-head with them, the devil's artillery fire is too fierce, if we really fight a hard-fought positional battle with the little devils, we won't be able to see even one battalion.

I also learned from the order of the regiment commander, we also used the method of blocking in sections this time to delay the enemy, divided into three sections of fortifications to block the enemy, hum, the little devil wants to cross our fortifications, there are not two hours, he doesn't even think about it. ”

……

It's going to be a positional war? Hiraike Ichiro looked at the fortifications standing abruptly three hundred paces away, and his face bloomed with joy.

In his opinion, the dirt road is not a self-defeating way, naturally without saying a word, more than a dozen grenadiers lined up, shells roared down, and the fortifications piled up of rocks and earth were blown open by the shells, and the soldiers immediately pressed on the smoke before it dissipated.

It's just that when the two sides were less than 50 paces away, after the "fight", after the fortifications, Zhang Dong roared, and hundreds of heads suddenly emerged from the fortifications, and two light machine guns formed crossfire on the left and right, and fired wildly at the Japanese troops who touched them.

Ichiro Hiraike was startled, and then he was full of confusion, and he also bombarded it with a cannonball, didn't it have any effect at all?

It turned out that Zhang Dong had long expected that the little devil would bombard with grenadiers, so he dug a narrow curved trench in the rear of the fortifications in advance, and the personnel dispersed to stand away, and the Japanese artillery shells wanted to fall into the trench just now, the probability was not large, plus the soldiers were lying dead at the bottom of the ditch, and under the roar of the artillery fire of the Pingchi squadron, more than a dozen soldiers were killed or wounded.

As soon as the devil's artillery fire stopped, Zhang Dong immediately ordered, and the soldiers climbed out of the trench one by one, crawled to the fortifications, and calmly waited for the Japanese army to approach step by step.

The two light machine guns were also assigned to the recruit company by Han Feng, which was simply an excellent weapon for positional warfare, and Zhang Dong even felt that the regiment commander had guessed how he would fight early in the morning.

At this moment, the little devils suffered a lot, and dozens of devils in the vanguard team fell directly under the strafing of submachine guns, and the little devils were also long, so they hurriedly retreated back.

Ichiro Hiraike hurriedly ordered the machine gun position to open fire, and under the suppression of more than a dozen machine guns, the casualties of the recruit company were immediately presented, and the only two machine guns were also suddenly muted.

The angry Hiraike Ichiro ordered the machine gun position to continue to cover, and then carried out an infantry charge, and the distance of one hundred and ten steps naturally crossed quickly, but when he occupied the fortifications, he saw that the dirt eight roads were actually gone.

He carefully observed the situation behind the fortification, and immediately became angry, these dirt roads were like earthworms, and they actually dug a series of tortuous trenches behind the fortification, no wonder his shells did not have much effect when they were bombarded.

But where did the dirt eight roads go? You must know that behind this fortification is a smooth path.

Hiraike Ichiro suddenly noticed that there were ropes on the far left side of the trail, and the lowest end of the rope led to the river on the left side of the Maverick Village Trail, which was not too deep, about the knee of a person, and the water surface was more than three meters from the top of the Maverick Village Trail.

So how this Tubalu disappeared, it is naturally clear, they used this rope to cross this river and disappear from under the noses of the Pingchi squadron.

Chase down the river? Naturally, it was impossible, and Ichiro Hiraike immediately ordered to pursue along the edge of the trail.

It was only after a few hundred meters of pursuit, and a fortification once again appeared not far from the Pingchi squadron.

Ichiro Hiraike ordered the team to stop, feeling a little ashamed and angry, these dirt roads, is there any end?

The terrain of Komura Road was so flat that Ichiro Hiraike couldn't see through his telescope what was behind the fortifications.

Blindly bombarded with artillery shells, Hiraike Ichiro was afraid that the situation would be the same as the fortifications he had encountered before, and he ordered the vanguard to approach the fortifications step by step, with machine-gun positions and grenadiers ready to fire at any time.

A few devils finally mustered up the courage to climb over the fortifications and take a look:

"Report, there is not a single enemy in the back."

Ichiro Hiraike: ......

It's a shame that an empty shell of fortifications actually scared him Pingchi's squadron from moving forward.

The team immediately pressed in, but just after turning over the fortifications, they stepped on the mines.

These mines were not used against the Nohara reinforcement team, but at this time, they came in handy, and several devils were blown up on the spot.

The devil who had just turned over the fortifications hurriedly turned it back in fright.

Ichiro Hiraike hurriedly ordered: "Sappers, sappers, demining!" ”

It was a long delay.
