Chapter 75: The Big Picture Is Decided
As soon as the words fell, Kuroshima Morita suddenly saw a flash of red light in the corner of his eye.
When I looked up, I saw a red flare rising into the air from Taniguchi in front of me.
Seeing this scene, Kuroshima Morita's heart suddenly sank, it was broken, there was really an ambush!
In the next moment, thousands of torches were thrown down the slopes on both sides of the canyon!
The grass and trees in the canyon had already dried up, and as soon as the torches fell, they burst into flames, and in a matter of moments, the flames spread so quickly that even the air became hot!
Fortunately, the canyon is a little bigger, and it can't burn in front of them.
However, Kuroshima Morita didn't care about maintaining any formation.
"Quick, retreat!" Kuroshima Morita brandished his saber and shouted, "Retreat at full speed, drip!" ”
However, at this time, it was too late to realize that it was too late to retreat, and no sooner had the words been uttered than dozens of huge fireballs that were burning rolled down from the slopes on both sides of the canyon, making a hula roar.
"Boom!" Dozens of large fireballs rolled down the valley, blocking the entrance and exit at once.
"Yaga!" Kuroshima Morita's face instantly turned black to the bottom of the pot, this time it's trouble!
"Take off your cloak and sprinkle it with water!" Anyway, the most agile was Takahashi Jieichi, who shouted, "Push the fireball away, push the fireball away, quick!" Hurry up and drop! ”
More than a dozen devil cavalrymen hurriedly turned over and dismounted, took off their cloaks and sprinkled water on them, and then took wet cloaks to protect their bodies, trying to rush up and push the fireball at the mouth of the valley.
However, before the dozen devils could get closer, gunshots rang out.
But it was the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were lying in ambush on the slopes on both sides that opened fire.
After the gunshots rang out, more than a dozen devils fell to the ground screaming.
"Yaga!" Kuroshima Morita also reacted and shouted, "Fire cover ......"
Before the words fell, thousands of torches fell from the hillside, hey, no, this time it was not the torches that were thrown down, but small cloth bags.
What's the situation? This is a grenade of the Chinese army?
But it's not like it, how can there be such a light grenade?
In the blink of an eye, the little cloth bags had fallen into the fire.
The flames were blazing, and puffs of white smoke quickly spread in all directions.
Morita Kuroshima took a deep breath and tried to calm his nerves.
As a result, as soon as a mouthful of air was inhaled into his lungs, he felt an unprecedented pungency, and then he coughed violently and uncontrollably, coughing until he was about to lose his breath without the slightest relief.
Not only Kuroshima Morita, but also Takahashi Jieichi and the more than 500 devil cavalry trapped in the valley were not spared, and they were all choked to death by the chili noodles that accompanied the thick smoke!
Now, it is difficult for more than 500 devil cavalry to walk.
This time, the amount of chili noodles is much larger than the last one.
……
Li Yunlong on Kuitou Ridge smiled proudly.
For today's battle, Li Yunlong took out all the funds of the independent regiment, bought all the dried chili peppers from the nearby ten miles and eight townships, and then let people grind them into 200 catties of chili noodles overnight.
More than 200 catties of chili noodles, not a single catty was left, and they were all thrown here.
"Haha, little devil, the chili noodles are delicious!" Li Yunlong laughed.
Seeing that the devil cavalry trapped in the canyon were all coughing and couldn't even walk, Zhao Gang's hanging heart fell back into his stomach slightly.
The situation that Zhao Gang feared most did not appear.
What Zhao Gang was most worried about was that the main cavalry force of the Black Island Wing had not yet been settled, and their heavy machine gun squadron and cavalry artillery squadron had already arrived, so they would be overwhelmed.
But now, it looks like it won't be.
Although the devils in the valley have not been eliminated, they have basically lost their combat effectiveness.
Now, even if the follow-up troops of the devil arrive immediately, they will not lose sight of one or the other.
"Lao Zhao, how is it?" Li Yunlong smiled, "I said don't worry. ”
"It's just getting started." Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "The result hasn't been known yet." ”
"The result is already predestined!" Li Yunlong snorted, "The main cavalry force of the Black Island Wing has basically lost its combat effectiveness, and it is impossible to turn the results around with only their heavy machine gun squadron and cavalry artillery squadron!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dabiao hurried over again and reported: "Regiment commander, the lookout post reports that the devil's heavy machine gun squadron and cavalry artillery squadron are almost here!" ”
Zhao Gang's heart immediately hung again.
After all, it was the first time he had participated in such a big battle, so it was inevitable that he would be nervous.
"Pass my orders!" Li Yunlong was already a veteran driver who had experienced a hundred battles, and his whole mood was stable, and he shouted loudly, "The guard company left a guard, just hold the high ground and don't let the devils rush up, and the rest of the battalions and companies will go to the front with Lao Tzu!" ”
After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he got up and left, and the soldiers lying next to Li Yunlong shouldered their rifles or machine guns one after another and quickly followed.
Originally, the equipment level of the independent regiment was extremely poor, but since Li Yunlong took office, it has won several battles one after another, captured a lot of equipment, and the equipment level has been greatly improved.
Now there are more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns alone.
Li Yunlong yelled again: "Listen up! ”
The warriors who followed behind Li Yunlong suddenly perked up.
Kong Jie also felt that compared with the period when he had just suffered defeat, the mental outlook of the independent regiment had changed a lot, at least it was not as shallow as before.
During that time, the independent group really seemed to have lost its soul.
But now, Li Yunlong has obviously come out of the shadows with the independent regiment.
Li Yunlong then roared: "When Lao Tzu's gun goes out later, no one is allowed to save bullets, and all the bullets must be used up within half a minute!" Then rush down the hill to fight the little devil with bayonets! ”
Zhu Ziming opened the nose of the barge gun and asked, "Commander, the terrain here is so good, why don't you put a few more guns and eliminate a few more devils?" Why rush to fight with bayonets? ”
"You kid knows a piece of." Li Yunlong said, "Behind are the heavy machine gun squadron and cavalry artillery squadron of the Black Island Wing, do you know how many heavy machine guns they have and how many mortars they have?" If we give them enough time to set up heavy machine guns and mortars, we will not even be enough to stuff them with more than 1,000 people! ”
After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "It's just that the terrain here is good, and the devils behind are eager to save people, otherwise our independent regiment won't be able to wait for this kind of good opportunity!" ”
As he spoke, there was the sound of rumbling hooves ahead.
In the blink of an eye, billowing smoke and dust rose from the direction of Taniguchi.
It didn't take long for the first platoon of devil cavalry to appear at the mouth of the valley.
The devil cavalry at the head held a military flag in his hand, a flag of the rising sun.
Li Yunlong hurriedly lay down, and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who followed behind him also fell down.
