Chapter 288: The Commander of the Division Who Committed Suicide

The ambush battle that took place on the highway was naturally inaudible to the pursuing troops in Taierzhuang. But the 40th Army stationed in Yicheng could clearly hear the explosion coming from this side of the road. After a while, the originally quiet county town was brightly lit again.

The sentry in charge of duty knew very well that there was the sound of gunfire on the road outside the city, and there must be troops fighting. At present, Yicheng has been recaptured by them, and there are also their troops outside the city. There will be a firefight, there must be a little devil entering Yicheng.

What was a little relieved was that the place where the gunfire came from was not the direction from which the reinforcements came, but the Japanese troops who might have retreated from Taierzhuang. In view of this possibility, the officer on duty immediately woke up Pang Bingxun, who was sleeping.

Knowing that there were gunshots on the road outside the city, which was about ten kilometers away from Yicheng, Pang Bingxun was also surprised and said: "Could it be that a little devil has escaped to our side?" By the way, is there any news from the Einsatzgruppen? ”

"Nope! Commander, do you suspect that the Einsatzgruppen exchanged fire with the Japanese army? ”

"Quite possibly! Immediately send a telegram to the Einsatzgruppen asking what was going on outside the city. In addition, quickly assemble troops, distribute weapons and ammunition, and wait for the order to go out of the city to fight at any time, and see what news there is on the side of the special task force first! ”

Thinking that Hu Biao had an explanation before leaving, he sent a reconnaissance team to lurk on the highway outside the city. If there are really little devils who escape to Yicheng, as the commander stationed in Yicheng, Pang Bingxun must also lead his troops to stop the fleeing Japanese army.

The only thing to worry about is how many little devils are likely to escape to Yicheng. If there are too many little devils who break through and want to stop the escaped little devils in the wild, Pang Bingxun feels that there is little hope.

If this really happens, Pang Bingxun will also ask the encirclement and suppression troops in the war zone whether they are following the pursuit. If the encirclement and suppression troops were not far behind the Japanese army, Pang Bingxun might take a gamble and block the Japanese army and wait for other troops to encircle.

After receiving the telegram of inquiry from Pang Bingxun, Hu Biao, who was accurately shooting the little devil in the trench, thought for a while and said: "Send a telegram back to General Pang, informing me that our unit has exchanged fire with a small group of Japanese troops, and that a large Japanese army has not yet been found."

For the sake of safety, let him strengthen his vigilance. If I find a large force of the Japanese army breaking through, I will pass on the news to him in time. Keep the radio unblocked, and we can communicate in a timely manner if there is a situation! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

After the explanation, Hu Biao found Sun Erxi, the deputy captain of the sniper team, and pointed to the little devil nesting next to the abandoned armored car and said: "Tell the team members that the old devil in the lieutenant uniform must not be killed easily, that old devil is not simple!" ”

"Such an old lieutenant, we can't be fools! Captain, is the old devil the commander of the little devil's division? ”

"It should be! I'll be in charge of cleaning up this old devil myself. What the sniper team has to do is to snipe and kill the little devils who are around him. Three knives, inform the artillery squad, no need to waste shells. Stop firing with machine guns and sweep the tail with a rifle! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

As the number of stubborn little devils on the highway continued to decrease, Hu Biao felt that there was little point in continuing the shelling. Even machine guns do not hit the target in most cases. In this situation, it is better to start shooting rifles!

Compared with the little devils suppressed on the road, the soldiers of the special service company lying in the trenches have more shooting advantages. As for the level of shooting, Hu Biao believes that the soldiers of the special service company under his command are not inferior to the little devils on the highway.

In particular, the sniper team trained by Hu Biao himself became the protagonist of tonight's hunt. Many little devils who were lying on the road to fight back and wanted to break through fell under their sniper guns, putting the little devils in a dilemma.

Looking at the last few little devils who were hiding next to the corpses and abandoned armored vehicles, Xu Sandao planned to lead people out of the trenches to outflank them. But Hu Biao knew that if he really got out of the trenches, the soldiers could be sacrificed.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Erxi, bring two people over!" ”

"Yes! Captain! ”

Sun Erxi, who came to Hu Biao's side with two snipers with a sniper rifle, was also very curious about what Hu Biao's purpose was when he called him over. The other soldiers who stayed in the trenches also looked at Hu Biao expectantly.

"Pillar, give me your flare gun, and get two more flares!"

"Captain, what do you want a flare gun for? Flare guns can't kill people! ”

"You kid, what nonsense, give me the gun! Who told you that flares can't kill people? At close range, flares can be fatal if they hit vital parts. Those little devils are hiding, waiting for us to come up.

Erxi, I'll hit the flare to those little devils hiding in a minute. The dazzling light emitted by the flare can guide you to the target, which is more conducive to your aim and shooting. In addition to that, it can scare the little devils out! ”

After listening to Hu Biao's method, Xu Sandao immediately rejoiced: "Good idea!" If the little devil can't hide, then force it out! ”

Getting the three snipers ready, Hu Biao loaded a flare into the flare gun, aimed it at the hiding place of the last few little devils on the highway, and only said after confirming the target: "Ready!" Three, two, one, hit! ”

Pulling the trigger, the flare instantly rushed out of the chamber of the gun, and with a brilliant deadly ray, it went straight to the hiding place where several little devils were. When the blazing flares exposed their hiding place, the little devil was also startled.

"Yaga! What is this? Yes! ”

Just when the little devil was blinded by the sudden blazing light, in the process of conditioned reflex dodging, Sun Erxi and two snipers each locked on a target and directly pulled the trigger. The gunfire fell, and the three little devils immediately fell in response.

Xu Sandao and others, who were standing by and watching the battle, were also happy to see this scene: "Erxi, well done!" ”

Hu Biao, who reloaded a signal flare, continued: "Erxi, come again!" Ready, hit! ”

When the second flare flew out of the chamber again, fell into the hiding place of the little devils, and even hit one of the little devils directly, the little devil also screamed: "Ah! Yaga! It's hot! It's hot! ”

When he shouted that it was so hot and shook off the signal flare that hit his body, Sun Erxi's muzzle was already locked, and he pulled the trigger and shot his head. When the little devil fell, with the help of the light of the signal flare, Hu Biao also saw that there were no two little devils left.

Taking advantage of the fact that the little devil's vision was affected, Hu Biao continued: "Three knives, take a few skilled soldiers down to see if there is a chance to catch the old devil alive." I'll shoot the flare later, and you can do it when you get there! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

"Other snipers, be vigilant for Xu Lian. As soon as you find a little devil who has moved, kill it immediately. At least I don't want to see people die near the end of the battle, you know? ”

"Understood!"

There was a sniper team responsible for providing fire cover and vigilance, and Xu Sandao selected a few fighters and quickly turned out of the trenches. Along both ends of the road, Xu Sandao and his party quickly moved around the last surviving little devils.

Ryosuke Isoya, who was still alive at the moment, looked at the only living gendarme around him, and laughed miserably: "Second lieutenant, you are very heroic!" We can't be prisoners of the Chinese army, are you afraid of death? ”

"Don't be afraid! It is an honor to be loyal to the general and to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Give me General Seya's pistol!"

"General!"

The second lieutenant of the military police, who knew what to do with the pistol, was somewhat excited. But he also understood that a dead division commander falling into the hands of the anti-Japanese war troops would have less impact than a living division commander being captured.

If Ryosuke Isoya chooses to commit suicide, it may be the wisest choice. He may live as a prisoner, but he will become a disgrace to the Japanese army. At that time, Ryosuke Isoya's family members may all be punished by the empire.

"Second Lieutenant, thank you for escorting you all the way, I dragged you down!"

"General!"

The second lieutenant of the military police with tears streaming down his face, although he really wanted to fly with Ryosuke Isoya. It's a pity that he doesn't have wings at all. The only thing he could do was to hand the pistol on Seya Kei's body to the division commander who survived to the end.

Ryosuke Isoya, who raised his pistol and aimed it at his temple, thought back to his life in the army, and never thought that he would end up like today. Realizing that the ambushers were going to capture him alive and not wanting to be a prisoner, Ryosuke Isoya finally pulled the trigger ruthlessly.

Before he died, he inevitably shouted: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Long live the Empire! ”

The words fell, and a crisp gunshot rang out. Hu Biao, who was always staring at Ryosuke Isoya's location, was also surprised and said: "Ma Dan! This old devil is bloody enough, he would rather die than be a prisoner, and he is cheap! ”

Hearing the gunshots coming from in front of him, Xu Sandao, who was about to lead people to capture the head of the Little Devil Division alive, was also stunned. He had been studying Japanese with Hu Biao for a while, and he naturally understood the meaning of the words that Ryosuke Isoya yelled out when he was dying.

Realizing that the head of the little devil division he wanted to capture alive had committed suicide, Xu Sandao felt a little regretful, so he planned to rush over to check the situation. At this time, the only surviving little devil lieutenant collected all the grenades together.

Just as this little devil second lieutenant was about to pull some people to accompany him to the funeral, Xu Sandao, who rushed over, looked at the little devil second lieutenant who suddenly stood up, and raised his hand to shoot. Looking at the little devil who was smoking, Xu Sandao yelled: "Get down!" ”

The second lieutenant of the military police, who originally wanted to jump out of the pile of corpses and pull Xu Sandao and others to accompany him to the funeral, did not expect Xu Sandao to react so quickly. The second lieutenant, who was shot in the forehead, finally collapsed helplessly in the pile of corpses, and then the explosion sounded.

Hearing the explosion on the highway, Hu Biao tightened his heart and said: "Quick, hurry up and save people!" ”

Hu Biao, who was worried that Xu Sandao would be injured, rushed out of the trench as soon as possible. If he wanted to capture the division commander of the little devil alive before, then at this moment he regretted a little bit that in order to capture the commander of the little devil division alive, he let Xu Sandao bear such danger.

If Xu Sandao is injured or killed because of this, I am afraid that Hu Biao will regret it even more. Fortunately, he rushed to the highway and looked at Xu Sandao and the others who were safe and sound, and Hu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief. This lesson convinced Hu Biao of a truth.

That is, only the dead little devils are good devils. Even if he is the commander of the Japanese division, he will not consider capturing alive in the future. If he was given a chance to choose again, he would kill the commander of the Little Devil Division at the beginning of the battle!
