If it weren't for the fact that Fang Qi had captured eighteen intact heavy machine guns when he defeated those two battalions before, Zhou Zuopeng's team would have really folded here this time.

This is what Liu Cheng thought of before, but he didn't stop Zhou Zuopeng.

Because he knew that although Zhou Zuopeng offered to cooperate with him, he didn't want to become an accessory of the independent battalion, let alone be swallowed up by Liu Cheng.

Wanting to take the opportunity to obtain some heavy weapons to increase the firepower of the team is something that any commander with some common sense would do, and Liu Cheng has no reason to disagree.

If he sent someone to follow, even if Zhou Zuopeng could understand his intentions, his subordinates would definitely think that Liu Cheng wanted to compete with him for the spoils of war, and it was easy to breed suspicion.

Later, the special operations company was sent to support, because Liu Cheng didn't want Zhou Zuopeng's team to suffer too many casualties, and even was directly beaten into a remnant; And this can also make Zhou Zuopeng and his subordinates aware of their narrow-mindedness.

Indeed, without the support of the Special Operations Company, Zhou Zuopeng's 39th Division would not even have 800 people left, thus becoming a complete remnant army.

After Song Wen led his men and the 39th Division to repel the reinforcements of Lumao Huxiong, he successfully attacked three artillery positions in a short period of time, capturing 11 intact 75-mm mountain guns and more than 800 shells.

In addition, there were 19 heavy machine guns, more than 30 Czech light machine guns, and 8900 rifles, totaling more than 50,000 rounds of ammunition.

The only thing that made Zhou Zuopeng feel pain was that his team of nearly 3,000 people was gone, and there were less than 1,300 people left.

In addition to the more than 600 enemies that Fang Qi had annihilated before, more than half of the remaining 700 people were destroyed by the Special Operations Company.

After they left, the deer fur tiger male went completely insane.

Chen Mingyu never sent any news back, and he lost most of the regiment and eleven 75mm mountain guns, how will he fight the next battle?

Helplessness and extreme anger made him lose his mind, and immediately ordered to pursue Zhou Zuopeng.

After discovering the enemy's intentions, Song Wen immediately sent people back to report the situation to Liu Cheng and ask for help, and at the same time discussed countermeasures with Zhou Zuopeng.

It is certainly not possible to run all the time, although this independent mixed brigade of the deer hair tiger is not at all comparable to the Japanese own independent mixed brigade, and the degree of equipment and mechanization alone is a big difference, but it is not difficult to catch up with them.

Of course, if Song Wen left first with the special operations company, Lu Mao Huxiong would not be able to catch up no matter what.

However, Zhou Zuopeng's team had just experienced a fierce battle, and the people were sleepy, and the speed could not be compared with the enemy who was gaining momentum.

If Song Wen and the Special Operations Company leave now, Zhou Zuopeng will be finished.

Regarding how to arrange troops and occupy favorable terrain, Song Wen is far inferior to Zhou Zuopeng.

Therefore, he only proposed that his special operations company should defend at the front and try to delay time as much as possible.

At this time, Zhou Zuopeng had eleven mountain guns and nineteen heavy machine guns in his hands, and he also had some confidence in his heart, and he was really not afraid of deer and tiger tigers at all.

He agreed to Song Wen's proposal, and at the same time gave him five heavy machine guns as firing points, and his men assisted in the defense of the two wings, and the eleven mountain guns were lined up in a zigzag, and the muzzles were lowered for use as anti-aircraft guns.

When Zhou Zuopeng saw the enemy's figure from the telescope, he immediately shouted a cannon in a tone that suddenly turned over and exploded under extreme depression, and even Song Wen, who was fifty or sixty meters away, could hear it clearly.

"Tom, tom, tom......"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

Eleven shells flew almost above the heads of Song Wen and the soldiers of the special operations company, and Song Wen, who was frightened, shrank his neck and scolded in a low voice:

"His grandmother's, is this Zhou Zuopeng really a madman! So low to hit a rat hole?! ”

Indeed, it stands to reason that the firing angle of the 75-mm mountain gun cannot be lowered to such a low, but Zhou Zuopeng asked people to do this by adjusting the angle of the gun mount.

Although this still has an elevation angle of more than ten or twenty degrees, after the shell passes through a parallel flight distance, it will still fall in a parabolic line under the action of gravity, forming the same killing effect as a flat-fire gun.

However, there is a certain danger in doing so, and the period between the loading and the firing of the shell is prone to smoothbore, and the slightest carelessness will explode in the position.

But Zhou Zuopeng can't care so much now, he just wants to prove his ability through this battle, to prove that the soldiers of his 39th Division are not waste, and they are not traitors who only lick the beards of the Japanese and oppress their compatriots in the mouths of the common people!

At that time, the distance between Lumao Huxiong's independent mixed brigade and Zhou Zuopeng's headquarters was about one kilometer, and he could never have imagined that he would be attacked by artillery fire at such a distance.

As a result, after hearing the sound of shells piercing the air, none of him and his troops reacted to lie down and hide, believing that the shells would fly over their heads.

True, three of the shells flew over their heads, only at a somewhat low altitude.

A rare smile full of disdain appeared on the face of the deer haired tiger male, and he pouted and said:

"It seems that Zhou Zuopeng has nothing to do, how can the mountain artillery be at such a distance...... Rumble! ”

Before the words fell, a truck carrying ammunition in front of the left side of the deer hair tiger male exploded, and with a dazzling flash of fire, a large amount of shrapnel mixed with bullets scattered in all directions, and the soldier suddenly fell into a large area.

The moment he realized that something was wrong, he jumped out of the jeep and lay on the ground, but the Japanese soldier who drove him was not so lucky.

After the deer haired tiger male landed, the Japanese soldier who was driving the car also planted himself from the co-pilot's side, but it was already a corpse.

Immediately, Lu Mao Huxiong was shocked to find that the Japanese soldier had a bullet embedded in his head.

Yes, it's a bullet.

The bullet had been drilled into the Japanese soldier's head in reverse, one end of the cartridge case embedded in the center of the eyebrow, and the bullet was still outside.

Before Lu Mao Huxiong could understand what was going on, another cannonball fell into the ranks, and more than a dozen puppet soldiers who were already lying on the ground were sent into the air at the same time as the explosion sounded, and they had already become corpses before they landed.

The puppet army officer with the rank of major didn't know where to come out, grabbed Lu Mao Huxiong's arm and said loudly:

"Your Excellency! Find a place to hide! Fast! ”

At this time, the deer-haired tiger male was already panicking, and let the puppet army officer pull him and run behind the two big stones standing side by side.

And just as they were about to hide behind the two big stones, a puppet soldier suddenly "flew" from a distance and sat down in front of them.
