Chapter 460: Hills
"Stop!"
After coming to the place where he was separated from those people, Liu Gen stopped with the soldiers of the cavalry company, and after he dismounted and took a quick look, he found the traces left by those people when they left.
"Leave a comrade as the head of the regiment and lead the way! The others come with me! Liu Gen ordered loudly.
Liu Gen got on his horse and led the soldiers of the cavalry company to chase in the southeast direction, and from the traces left on the ground, he could judge that the small army of the devils left from this direction. How far can they run in just twenty minutes?
"Get ready for battle!" After advancing a thousand meters, Liu Gen ordered.
The soldiers of the cavalry company sprang into action, they bent down, clenched their weapons in their hands, and were ready to go into battle at any time!
Liu Gen kept looking ahead, trying to find the traces of the devil, but what made him a little puzzled was that in his sight, there was no shadow of the devil, as if they had already left this area.
"Spread out! Brother Sun, if you take some of the warriors to the other side, it is very likely that the devils are ambushing us. After advancing some distance again, Liu Gen said to Sun Desheng beside him.
Dividing troops is the best choice, with the mobility of the cavalry company, even if the devil is really ambushed, the cavalry company can open a certain distance in the shortest possible time to avoid too many casualties. The dispersed forces can also better find the traces of the devil, and Liu Gen believes that the devil must be hidden in a corner of this area, and it is impossible to successfully escape.
Unless the devil has a car in his hand, it is undoubtedly impossible to escape from this area in just twenty minutes.
Liu Gen looked at the small hill not far away, there was a cold light flashing in his eyes, if the devil really wanted to ambush Liu Gen and them, then the small hill not far away must be the best choice. Otherwise, there isn't much cover in this area, and they don't have a good choice if they want to ambush.
"There may be a problem with that small hill, Brother Sun, be careful." Before Sun Desheng left with the soldiers, Liu Gen couldn't help but explain.
Sun Desheng nodded vigorously, he understood what Liu Gen meant, the devil's marksmanship is very strong, if he is really unprepared to be ambushed by the devil, then even a cavalry company with strong mobility will inevitably suffer casualties.
Watching Sun Desheng leave with a part of the cavalry company soldiers, Liu Gen continued to search forward with the remaining soldiers, in order to encounter the ambush of the devils, Liu Gen and the soldiers kept a certain distance before. In the face of the devils hidden in the shadows, if they are all gathered, then they will undoubtedly become the live targets of the devils.
The soldiers of the cavalry company were well-trained, and when searching, they still kept their bodies down, and almost all of them had to stick to their horses, in order to guard against the attack of the devils who could attack at any time. Lying on the horse greatly reduces the exposed body area of the warriors, and even if the devil's marksmanship is powerful, it is difficult to hit the warriors on horseback.
Liu Gen's riding skills are also good, but he is not like the soldiers of the cavalry company, he keeps looking around, trying to find the traces of the devil.
The warriors kept searching, and they searched very quickly, and in a short time, they searched the area, except for the small hills not far away, and all the other places were searched. After the soldiers searched for no trace of the devil, Liu Gen became more and more sure that the devil was hiding on a small hill not far away.
The small hill is not high, but it is indeed not suitable for the soldiers of the cavalry company, Liu Gen looked at the small hill and hesitated a little.
The hill has not been searched, and it is impossible to determine whether the devil is hiding on the small hill, and in order to make sure that the devil is there, it is undoubtedly necessary for the soldiers to confirm it. And if you choose to do so, the devils who are ambushed in the small hills will inevitably attack, and then cause certain casualties to the cavalry company.
If he could, Liu Gen didn't want to send soldiers to search, but there was no way, and when he couldn't be sure whether the devil was on that small hill, it was very necessary to send soldiers to explore. If the devil is not on this small hill, wouldn't it be a waste of too much time for Liu Gen and the others?
"Let's go and find out if the devil is on that little hill." Liu Gen said to the soldiers around him.
The warriors' expressions didn't change, they all knew the danger of going to the small hill to search, but they still didn't have any intention of backing down.
As they got closer to the location of the small hills, Liu Gen and the others became more and more nervous, and the soldiers were tense and ready to fight at any time.
"Stop! No need to search this little hill! The devil is on top, let's wait for the regiment commander to take a battalion! "When he was still two hundred meters away from this small hill, Liu Gen noticed an anomaly on the hill.
Liu Gen could see that there seemed to be earthwork going on on the hills, and the arrival of Liu Gen and the others made the small army of devils realize that they had been discovered, and after observing the terrain, they chose to defend on this small hill. I have to say that the devils are very smart, they do earthwork and arrange defensive positions, in order to hold on for enough time.
As far as these devils are concerned, they just need to hold on here for enough time to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Five hundred meters away from the hill, Liu Gen looked at the hill with a telescope, and he could see that the height of the hill was not high, less than a hundred meters, the top was oval, and on the southeast side of the hill was a slope of 20 degrees.
Because the area at the top of the hill is not large, in order to defend, the devils arranged two lines of defense around the hills, through the telescope, Liu Gen can see that these devils are not simple, and the position they built is particularly good.
Liu Gen can be sure that if it weren't for the lack of troops of these devils, then they would definitely arrange more defensive lines, the only thing to be thankful for is that the terrain conditions of this hill are not very good, and the devils do not have heavy weapons in their hands, so it will not be so easy for them to defend.
Constantly observing the movements of the devils, Liu Gen found that these devils seemed to be not tired, and they were constantly carrying out civil engineering work. Judging from the amount of soil dug out by the devils, the trenches dug by the devils are not shallow, and most of the devil soldiers are not very high, and they stay in the trenches and cannot see them at all.
Noticing this, Liu Gen's eyes were a little more dignified, these devils are really not simple, and they are very different from ordinary devils.
But Liu Gen still has enough confidence in killing these devils, and after he found that there was something wrong with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army pretended to be these devils, he secretly observed the weapons in the hands of these devils. These devils disguised themselves and touched into the base area, and their equipment was also consistent with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and they did not have any heavy weapons in their hands.
The only thing worth noting is the light machine guns in the hands of these devils, the lethality is still not weak, with the elite level of these devils, even if they don't have heavy weapons in their hands, Liu Gen doesn't dare to have the slightest contempt for them.
If the independent regiment wants to kill this group of devils, it also needs to make adequate preparations and prepare a perfect attack plan, if it charges towards the devils' position, then it is easy to have a large number of casualties. With the marksmanship of these devils, if they are really hit, they will inevitably be killed or injured, and the mortality rate will probably not be low.
After making sure that the devil's small army was hiding on that small hill, the soldiers of the cavalry company dispersed and blocked the area, and any movement of the devil would be clearly seen by the soldiers of the cavalry company. Among them, there were also cavalry companies that wanted to take the initiative to attack, but under Liu Gen's orders, they could only give up the idea of directly attacking the devils.
On the hills, the devils have been carrying out this civil engineering operation, and the psychological quality of these devils is very good, knowing that they are surrounded by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, they still do not panic.
Hirono Ooka had an ugly face after ending the call with the headquarters of the First Army, he was the squadron leader of the 3rd Squadron of the 36th Infantry Wing of the 223rd Division of the Japanese First Army. In order to achieve more results in the base area of the Eighth Route Army, he chose to disguise all the soldiers of the Third Squadron as the Eighth Route Army, and successfully achieved a lot of achievements by listening to the radio communications of the Eighth Route Army.
With the results achieved by the 3rd Squadron during this period, Ooka Hirono can be sure that after he returns to the United Team, he will definitely get enough rewards. But now, Ooka Hirono could not see the slightest joy on his face, only a deep solemnity, he picked up the binoculars and looked around, and could see that the light cavalry of the Eighth Route Army had already blocked the surrounding area.
The nearest reinforcement to this place takes three hours to successfully arrive, and this is still based on the fact that without the troops of the Eighth Route Army blocking it, can your squadron hold out for three hours in three hours? Ooka Hirono is a little bottomless, and his soldiers are elite, but he doesn't know how many troops he needs to face next.
The soldiers of the 3rd Squadron were still reinforcing their positions, and they all knew how important it was to have a strong enough position, but even if they continued to reinforce, there was not much they could do, only thicken the accumulated soil.
"Hurry up! Continue to strengthen the position! Hirono Ooka ordered loudly.
The devil soldiers once again increased their speed of action, and the ammunition in their hands was still sufficient, and they still had the strength to fight. For the next defensive battle, the devil soldiers of the third squadron are still very confident, and they know that they will not give up easily.
In order to be able to successfully hold out until reinforcements arrived, the 3rd Squadron also requested support from the aviation unit, and the fighters would arrive in an hour later to relieve the pressure on their defense.
Time kept passing, and half an hour later, Li Yunlong arrived with the first battalion of the Independent Regiment, and when he picked up the binoculars and looked at the two lines of defense of the devils, his already solemn expression became even more solemn.
