How many oil drums? Are you kidding? ”

Seeing that the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death had buried several oil drums in front of the battle, Sun Chu scoffed there.

Lehi did not explain, but waited there for the troops to counterattack.

The other soldiers were half-crouched on the ground and waited for the artillery fire to cover before rushing forward, while the soldiers of the 1st Battalion withdrew from the ambush circle of the 8th Brigade.

Just when Sun Chu didn't care, he was suddenly startled by a few loud noises.

"Boom, boom!"

Several violent explosions suddenly sounded, and Sun Chu, who didn't pay attention to it, was so shocked by these loud noises that he squatted on the ground on the spot.

"Heavy artillery? Is this the devil coming? ”

The few loud bangs just now were no different from large-caliber heavy artillery, and at this time, neither the Jin Sui Army nor the Central Army had heavy artillery in the southeast of Jin, except for the Japanese army.

Sun Chu's first reaction was that the Japanese army was coming, and this was the heavy artillery of the Japanese army.

But seeing that these soldiers of the Eighth Regiment were not panicking, Sun Chu was a little puzzled.

As several loud noises came, he realized that the movement was caused by the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death, and that the explosion was still coming from the position of the 8th Brigade.

Then he saw that the soldiers of the 8th Regiment of Decisive Death next to the oil barrel took a lit explosive bag and put it into the oil barrel, and then saw the explosive bag fly towards the position of the 8th Independent Brigade.

"Boom!"

A cracking sound came again, and the moment the explosive bag hit the ground, several soldiers of the 8th Brigade around them were directly blown away, and the power was really comparable to heavy artillery.

"What kind of weapon is this, and why is it so powerful?" Sun Chu muttered.

This is naturally a cannon without conscience, and Lehi did not use it before.

Although there are many restrictive conditions for this mass killer, it is true that it is powerful and simple to manufacture.

Lehi originally wanted to use this weapon on the Japanese, but the 8th Brigade stood in his way, and if he didn't tear the hole and break through as soon as possible, his previous efforts would be in vain when more and more enemy troops surrounded him.

After more than ten minutes of artillery bombardment, the 8th Brigade was beaten in a daze, and seeing that the timing was right, Lehi gave the order to attack.

"Comrades, rush!"

All of a sudden, a large number of soldiers jumped out of their previously hidden places and rushed towards the enemy positions on the high ground on both sides.

The Eighth Regiment was formed in a short period of time, the speed of expansion was too fast, and the charge was still a common group charge.

If you are facing an enemy with strong firepower, such a charge will result in heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the Jin Sui army on the high ground was bombed by unconscionable artillery, and there were many loopholes in the fire blockade, so that the casualties of the Eighth Regiment were not so many.

The 2nd Battalion was undoubtedly the fastest, and as the most capable battalion under Lehi, it also performed well in this attack.

Ten minutes later, the 2nd Battalion rushed to the enemy positions on the high ground on the left flank, and the white-knuckle battle began.

The Jin Sui army was also frightened by the second battalion's desperate fighting style, and the white-knuckle battle lasted less than twenty minutes, and the Jin Sui army in the position retreated in a panic.

Even if Shi Zuoheng personally commanded the troops to counterattack, but he only had one regiment in his hands, and the other regiment had not yet arrived.

"Hold it for me, keep it!"

Shi Zuoheng yelled.

"Brigade commander, you can't hold it, the enemy's firepower is too strong, and there are heavy artillery, our people have suffered heavy casualties, and if we continue to fight like this, we will really lose it!"

"Impossible, it is impossible for the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death to have heavy artillery, as long as we hold on, and when the reinforcements arrive, we can annihilate the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death in front of us!"

Heavy artillery?

Now that the Jin Sui army has few heavy artillery, how can the Eighth Regiment have heavy artillery.

And in this kind of terrain, it is impossible for the Eighth Regiment to run around with a few heavy artillery, what is heavy artillery? First of all, it has to be heavy.

"Brigade commander, you also heard the movement just now, our position was directly blown out of many big craters, and ordinary shells could not blow up at all. Many soldiers were shocked to death. ”

Although Shi Zuoheng was a little unwilling, he tried his best to organize the troops to counterattack and plug the gap, but the troops below were invincible, and in the end they could only watch the Eighth Regiment flee north.

However, this battle was a heavy death toll for both sides.

After rushing through the defensive line of the 8th Brigade of the Jin Sui Army, Li Hai ordered the number of people to be counted and found that there were more than 300 people missing.

Most of these 300 people may have died on the battlefield, or they may have been separated from the troops.

But he believes that the 8th Brigade of the Independent Brigade should not think about it well.

It can be said that in this battle, the 8th Brigade of the Independent Brigade can be regarded as truly seeing the combat effectiveness of the 8th Regiment of the Decisive Death.

In the case of being ambushed, he was still able to launch a counterattack and tear through the defense line of the 8th Brigade, and then successfully broke through.

The whole battle, Sun Chu watched it in person, and to be honest, he was also shocked in his heart.

This comparison shows that there is indeed a big gap between the two armies in terms of morale and will to fight.

In terms of combat experience, the Eighth Regiment of the Decisive Death is certainly inferior to the 8th Brigade of the Independence, but it is also a regiment, and the Eighth Regiment of the Decisive Death can defeat a regiment of the 8th Brigade head-on, which has to make people reflect.

"Sir, I just picked up a gun, wait for the evening, find a chance to escape!"

Just when the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death was looking for a place to rest after successfully breaking through, it was already night, and while the guards were not paying attention, Sun Chu's adjutant came to his side and whispered.

"When did you pick it up?" Sun Chu looked around cautiously, and when he found that no one was paying attention, he said in a low voice.

"It was picked up in the previous battle while they weren't looking." As he spoke, the adjutant showed the Mauser pistol hidden in his thick clothes.

"Hide it, and when they sleep at night, we'll find a way to escape!"

"Sir, do you want to call someone else?" The adjutant asked.

"Don't scream, it's not good if there are too many people, if we are discovered, we don't want to escape!" At this time, Sun Chu naturally didn't care about the life and death of others, and when he should be selfish, he had to be selfish.

"Yes, sir!"

。。。。。。

"Director, the third battalion and the artillery company have successfully joined up with Deputy Director Chen, but they have been entangled by the Ninth Regiment of Decisive Death."

After successfully breaking through, the people sent by Chen Shiping to meet him found Li Hai.

"Death to the Ninth Regiment? Where are they? Waiting for him! "For the Ninth Regiment of Decisive Death, Lehi had long wanted to take the opportunity to destroy and annex it, but he didn't expect it to be sent to the door.

"In Komatsuyama, I was dragged by the third battalion, but the situation was a little bad." Mao Hong worried.

"Komatsuyama? It is only ten kilometers away from Xinzhuang, and it is indeed a bit critical. Send people to give orders to the three battalions, telling them to fight and retreat while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Then I gave an order to Deputy Director Chen to let the 2nd Battalion of Du reinforce the 3rd Battalion, and when I arrived with the main force, I would eat this Ninth Regiment of Decisive Death in one fell swoop. ”

At this moment, there were gunshots and shouts not far away, Li Daniu grabbed the gun and blocked it in front of Li Hai, and the soldiers of the surrounding guard companies were also on guard.

"What's going on? Where did the gunshots come from? Lehi said in a deep voice.

Soon someone came running to report, "Director, it's not good, Sun Chu and his adjutant didn't know where to find a pistol, and while our people were not paying attention, they killed two of our comrades and ran away." ”

"Director, I'll take someone to chase after him, Sun Chu knows our situation, and he can't let him run away!" Mao Hong asked for war.

Lehi looked at the surrounding terrain and the dark night, and shook his head, "Forget it, there's no need for this, just run." Even if he joined up with the 8th Brigade, it was too late to inform the 9th Regiment of Decisive Death, and ordered the troops to immediately advance north.

That's what I said, but I'm still late for the Nine Death Regiments in my stomach before I can feel at ease. ”
