Sure enough, when the little devil found out that the army of the Tiger Ben Regiment was marching all the way south, he mistakenly thought that they wanted to flee back to Jinzhai County and Huoshan County!

Naturally, they refused to give up, and the combined army composed of several divisions and mixed brigades was pursued and attacked fiercely in the rear.

The other part is a detour, setting up an ambush circle at the necessary places to go to Jinzhai County and Huoshan County, and waiting for Yang Chen and his party to enter the set.

In particular, the 13th Division of the Japanese Army came from the west in an almost netting manner, facing the Tiger Ben Regiment.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for the Tiger Bentuan, the sky finally darkened.

Yang Chen led his troops to continue south, and marched for another five or six miles, until night completely fell, then he shook a shot, led the army into the jungle, and through the cover of the jungle, took the path and turned around and rushed in the direction of Linhe Village.

Although there have been many detours along the way, it has temporarily thrown off the little devils, which is not worth it.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Duan Peng, who was in charge of leading the team to open the way in front, suddenly went and returned, and ran towards Yang Chen with a somewhat anxious face: "Tuanzuo, we are in trouble." ”

Duan Peng ran in a hurry, and with his physique, he was even a little out of breath.

Yang Chen frowned and asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

"There are a group of devils and puppet troops in front, occupying a high ground on both sides of the mountain road, building fortifications, and blocking our way!" Duan Peng said.

"How many are there?" Yang Chen asked.

"Seven or eight hundred people, the puppet army accounts for the majority, and the devil should have less than one squadron, 200 people!" Duan Peng thought for a moment and continued: "I guess this should be the garrison of Huoqiu County. ”

After Yang Chen heard this, he didn't fight angrily: "Damn, the devils are arrogant, and these two devils are actually arrogant."

If we don't go to them for trouble, we dare to take the initiative to intercept our way! Didn't say it, fuck it! ”

Chief of Staff Wang Gui thought for a while, and said with a little worry: "Tuanzao, although we have thrown off the devil's pursuit troops, they should not be far from us."

If our whereabouts are revealed, it won't be long before an army of devils will swarm in.

So, shall we go around it? ”

Yang Chen did not rush to make a statement, but looked at Duan Peng, who was in charge of exploring the way.

Duan Peng said with a difficult face: "Tuanzuo, the mountains and mountains here, there is only one way to Linhe Village."

If we take a detour, we are afraid that we will have to walk an additional 80 miles, and it will be a rugged and difficult mountain road.

In this way, if we want to rush to Linhe Village before dawn and cross the river to the north in full, it will be almost impossible. ”

"Then kill them first!" After hearing this, Yang Chen's face sank, and he immediately ordered: "Don't say anything, 100,000 Japanese troops can't do it, just a few hundred devils and two devils, it's still not a problem, gather troops and prepare to fight!" ”

The devils and puppet troops who blocked Yang Chen and their northward march were indeed the garrisons in Huoqiu County, and they received orders from their superiors.

Just in case, not giving the Tiger Ben Regiment a chance to live, blocking a necessary path for the Tiger Ben Regiment to retreat north.

Because of the rush of time, this group of devils and the puppet army did not have time to build too strong fortifications, but only dug a few trenches, and the Tiger Ben Regiment appeared.

Yang Chen counted the existing troops in his hands, and there were about 1,800 people left, including less than 500 people in the reconnaissance battalion, less than 300 people in the tank and combat vehicle battalion, less than 300 people in the special operations brigade and hoeing brigade, and about 700 people in the baggage battalion, cavalry battalion and artillery battalion.

Fortunately, after the replenishment in Bengbu, the soldiers had sufficient ammunition.

Yang Chen transferred the heavy battalion with heavy casualties, led by Wang Gui, and cooperated with a small number of elite reconnaissance battalions to serve as a reserve and guard in their rear.

Just in case!

And he himself personally led a large army and launched the main attack.

The strength of the Japanese puppet army is about 800 people, of which the devil 2 occupies a quarter and the puppet army occupies three-quarters.

In addition to the 200 or so devils, the other 600 puppet soldiers are all adapted from local ruffians and hooligans.

Therefore, no matter in terms of strength and combat effectiveness, the Tiger Regiment has an absolute advantage.

Of course, the Japanese puppet army also has its own advantages, that is, they occupy a certain terrain advantage.

The site they chose happened to be two earthen mountains more than 100 meters high.

The mountain is not too steep, but it is located on both sides of the road that the Tiger Ben group must pass through, and has a condescending geographical advantage.

At this time, these devils and puppet troops had already built ring fortifications on these two dirt mountains.

And all of them hid in the trenches, condescendingly occupying the terrain.

If you change to other troops, it will really take a lot of effort to break through their defenses.

But unfortunately, they encountered the Tiger Ben Regiment.

As soon as the battle began, Yang Chen directly threw in the remaining more than 30 infantry guns and mortars in his department, and opened full firepower.

For each round of rapid fire, at least 30 shells will fall to the top of two dirt mountains like meteors falling to the ground.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The shelling lasted for more than ten minutes, and the violent explosion burst out dazzling red light and thick smoke, causing the two earth mountain tops to suddenly turn into a sea of fire, almost illuminating half of the sky.

In the red light, countless rocks and soil chips flew, and plants and trees were broken.

Many devils and puppet soldiers were bombarded to death in the fortifications before they could figure out what was going on.

After several rounds of shelling, under the opening of a few flares, thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Bun Regiment, under the leadership of Yang Chen, Xu Hailang, Chen Ming, Ou Yangguang and others, launched a cluster charge towards the two lonely mountains.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

"Dada ——”

As soon as the army rushed to the foot of the dirt mountain, the dense machine-gun fire exploded.

More than 50 light and heavy machine guns opened fire one after another, pouring a dense rain of bullets towards the top of the mountain.

The defenders on the top of the hill were pinned down in the trench fortifications, unable to raise their heads.

The rest of the attacking troops took advantage of this opportunity to continue to rush towards the top of the mountain amid the sound of the trumpet of the charge.

For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky and was deafening.

Looking at the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment who were swarming towards their positions all over the mountains, the devil officers in the trenches, regardless of their buzzing heads, began to shout at the top of their voices: "Baga Ya Road!" Counterattack, fire, shoot, shoot! Kill them, don't let them rush up, quick, quick, drip!

Kill the chicken and give! ”

Under their reprimand, hundreds of devils and puppet soldiers shot one after another.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da! ——”

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang! ——”

For a while, the fierce gunfire on the battlefield once again rose to a higher height.
