The troops are completely lost, and there is no good end to life, so it is better to die here in battle and keep the honor of your own soldiers.

The captain was also ruthless, decisively drew his saber, drove the war horse, and rushed head-on, wanting to fight the cavalry battalion to the death.

Aoki Nakasa didn't know about the battle that was taking place here, and he had to march quickly to reinforce the county.

As he walked, a herald hurriedly rushed over and reported: "Sir, there is a blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front, and there is about a battalion of the Eighth Route Army blocking there!" ”

Aoki Nakasa took three steps and made two steps, and hurried to the front of the line.

The night was so dark that only the shadows of some positions could be faintly seen.

However, one thing is certain: the terrain where the blocking position is located is not particularly conducive to the defense of the Eighth Route Army, but is conducive to deploying its own troops and capturing the blocking position.

The Eighth Route Army is not a fool, and it will definitely not do such a stupid thing to help the opponent.

He judged that there must be a conspiracy that he didn't know about, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he didn't come up with a reason for half a minute.

At this moment, the captain of the infantry brigade next to him suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency, maybe we are too worried. ”

"Before leaving, I studied the terrain here, and the county is surrounded by plains, and there are few hilly terrains."

"It must be that there is no suitable favorable terrain for the Eighth Route Army from here to the county seat, so the blocking position has to be built on the plain."

"If the cavalry brigade is here, it only takes one assault to take it."

"Do you want to wait for the cavalry brigade to come back before attacking?"

Aoki Nakasa thought for a moment and agreed: "Not everywhere there is favorable terrain that the Eighth Route Army can take advantage of. ”

"If there is no conspiracy, we will attack immediately."

"As for the cavalry brigade, don't wait for them, otherwise it will be too late."

"Since the blocking position is beneficial to the attack, then we can also attack it with infantry."

"Send an infantry squadron to attack and break through the blocking positions in the shortest possible time."

After Aoki Nakasa finished speaking, he raised his binoculars and looked at the battlefield again.

Nearly two hundred soldiers rushed out of the ranks, ready for the attack in just two minutes.

"Boom...... Dadada......"

As soon as the covering heavy machine guns and mortars rang out, they rushed out one by one, like tigers, rushing faster and faster, completely putting life and death out of the way.

Aoki Nakasa nodded involuntarily, very satisfied with the attack in front of him.

In his impression, a battalion of the Central Army could not stop the fierce attack of a squadron of the Imperial Army, let alone the Eighth Route Army, which had no terrain to rely on.

If this offensive continues, it will win.

"Sir, the blocking firepower of the Eighth Route Army is so fierce!" The subordinates beside him suddenly shouted, pulling him back to reality.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

At least five heavy machine guns and fifteen light machine guns were set up in the blocking positions, and they fired frantically at the attacking troops.

Every step forward comes at a huge cost.

In less than half a minute, a third of the attacking force had fallen.

"What are the artillerymen for, why not knock out the enemy's fire points!" Aoki Nakasa scolded anxiously.

The artillery unit was very powerful, and Aoki's scolding rang out as soon as the artillery sounded.

A few seconds later, four fireballs erupted from the blocking position, and it took another two seconds for the explosion to reach the ears.

The mortar squadron leader had the same idea as Aoki Nakasa at first, not paying attention to blocking positions, and only arranging an artillery squad to cover the infantry attack.

It wasn't until the 3rd Battalion of the garrison regiment exposed all the light and heavy machine gun fire he was equipped with that he realized that he had underestimated the enemy, and immediately ordered the remaining three mortar squads to set up their guns and go into battle.

On the blocking position, four shells fell from the sky, knocking out one heavy machine gun and one light machine gun of the three battalions at once.

The battalion commander Tan Weiqi's heartache eyes were about to erupt into flames, and he immediately shouted: "Artillery counterattack, knock out the devil artillery position for me, and buy time for the infantry to shoot the devil attack troops." ”

"Grenadier canisters, light and heavy machine guns, all set up for me, kill the attacking troops with the most fierce firepower, and make the devils who underestimate us pay the price."

When the Japanese fired the third round of shells, the six mortars equipped by the third battalion fired.

The hit rate is low, but the number is high.

In less than half a minute, 30 shells were thrown at the Japanese artillery position, and not only the squad that was firing the artillery was affected, but the three squads next to it were also affected by the artillery fire, which was very dangerous.

For the sake of safety, the squadron leader decisively ordered the artillery to move to a new position and then counterattack.

"Report to the commander, the mortar squadron has lost two mortars, the remaining mortars are being transferred, and it will be five minutes before a counterattack can be carried out......," a herald from the artillery squadron came running over and reported.

The captain of the infantry brigade next to him was very dissatisfied and scolded: "Eight Grid Yalu, wait for you to open a counterattack in five minutes, and the attacking troops have been killed by the Eighth Route Army." ”

After speaking, he looked at Aoki Nakasa and analyzed: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army's blocking fire is more fierce than just now, and there are many grenadiers joining the battle." ”

"The attacking troops suffered heavy casualties, and now they have lost artillery cover, and they will definitely not be able to capture the blocking position."

"Retreat!" Nakasa Aoki is not a person who is angry, and decisively ends this pointless attack.

Then he ordered with a murderous face: "Medium mortar squadron, mountain artillery squadron, infantry artillery squad, set up all the artillery for me, and I will raze the blocking position in front to the ground." ”

"The rest of the troops were all deployed, one squadron protected the artillery positions, two squadrons attacked, and the rest of the troops moved closer to me."

"We must capture it this time."

Behind the blocking position, the guns of a total of four artillery groups were all ready, and the gunners were half-crouched next to the guns, ready to adjust the firing at any time.

The company platoon commander stood aside with the order flag in his hand, staring at Li Hao, waiting for him to give the order to open fire.

Li Hao stood on a small mound not far from the artillery position, holding a telescope and looking at the battlefield.

It was night, and I couldn't see anything, but in order to prevent a sneak attack, the Japanese army prepared a large number of torches in the middle of the team, which helped Li Hao, and he could see their every move clearly.

There was a radio station next to him, and Zhou Liang personally sat on the ground to manipulate it.

Around the Japanese troops, commandos dressed in black kept approaching the road.

Under the cover of night, it is already difficult for the devils standing in the bright place to see what is in the dark, and the team members are dressed in black, and it is even more difficult for the devils to find them.

When there were still more than 200 meters across the road, the man in black who was taking the lead stopped decisively.

Raise the binoculars and look at the road, and after a few minutes slowly retreat, coming and going without a trace, leaving nothing.

"Tick ......"

The radio operated by Zhou Liang suddenly sounded, and Li Hao decisively put down the binoculars and looked over.

Zhou Liang was nervous and excited, put on the headphones and listened to it for less than half a minute before putting it down, not even recording, looking at Li Hao and reporting.

"Commander, the telegram has only a few numbers, which are one, three, five, six."

"That's all I want." Li Hao said with satisfaction.
