A four-legged war horse is naturally much faster than a two-legged man. The little devil cavalry, who took over the infantry pursuit of the snipers of the task force, originally thought not to get too far away from the infantry, but the chase was widened.

Although you can see the trailing infantry as soon as you turn around, the distance between the cavalry and the infantry is still unconsciously opened up by nearly a kilometer. The distance of this kilometer gave Xu Sandao and others an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to catch the devil cavalry off guard.

The machine gunners lying on both sides of the road, listening to the gunfire behind them, knew that this was the combat members of the sniper team, luring and provoking the pursuing little devil cavalry. With snipers luring, the cavalry of the little devils will only be more annoyed.

The captain of the Japanese squadron, who commanded the cavalry battle, waved his saber and shouted: "Rush up and cut off their heads!" Rush! ”

With the roar of the cavalry squadron leader, the little devil cavalry who followed up urged the war horse under the crotch again. Just when some cavalrymen thought that they would soon be able to catch up with the fleeing riflemen, the sudden appearance of machine guns in front of them made countless cavalrymen scatter.

"Stop the pursuit! There is an ambush! There is an ambush ahead! ”

"Keep going! Break out of the ambush circle! Don't stop, keep going! ”

Some cavalry stopped at the end of their horses, and some cavalry still buried their heads in the sky. The confusion of the cavalry squadron undoubtedly gave the ambush team more opportunities to attack. The machine-gun strafing was over, and looking at the little devil cavalry close at hand, the submachine gunners also pounced.

The little devil infantryman, who was following behind, heard the sound of machine guns coming from the front, and immediately a little devil officer said: "Not good! The cavalry squadron was ambushed, everyone picked up speed and rushed to reinforcements at once! Quick, run! ”

Realizing that the cavalry squadron was ambushed, the little devil infantry, who followed up, again increased the pace of running under their feet. It's a pity that the distance that seems to be about a kilometer makes many little devils feel extremely far away.

When the cavalry persisted, expecting the follow-up infantry to arrive as soon as possible. The sniper team in charge of the guard also began to shoot and snipe the little devil infantry who rushed to the front of the team, and also said: "The little devil infantry has arrived, and they must retreat!" ”

"Prepare grenades! Throw a wave, then retreat! ”

I know that I can't let the infantry of the little devils get entangled, otherwise when the fight starts, the reconnaissance detachment and the sniper detachment will be in trouble. There is nothing to regret about withdrawing now when you get the benefits. If the little devil dares to continue chasing, then continue to clean up!

When dozens of grenades were thrown into the road where the cavalry was, the continuous explosions made the hearts of the Japanese soldiers who rushed to reinforce their hearts tighten. Looking at the countless people and horses who fell on the road, many little devils were extremely angry.

When they left the city, they also wanted to capture some enemies who had attacked Luzhou City all night. didn't think about it, not long after he walked out of Luzhou City, he made the raider lose face. The cavalry squadron out of the city, I'm afraid there won't be much left!

Looking at the attackers who ambushed and fled in all directions, and the little devil infantry who rushed to reinforce them, he couldn't help but scold: "Baga! Why run? If you are a warrior, then stay and fight to the death! Damn cowards! ”

For the little devils who are shouting behind him, the task force members who are being evacuated naturally have no time to pay attention. Although it was not possible to completely annihilate this cavalry squadron, the cavalry squadron was basically disabled by a previous wave of ambushes.

The remaining surviving cavalry should be honest after this ambush. Even if the pursuit continues, they will honestly act with the infantry. In the face of machine guns and submachine guns, the speed of the cavalry is not enough to see!

When the panting Shao Zuo appeared, the infantry captain who arrived in advance said a little cautiously: "Shao Zuo, do you still want to chase?" ”

"What about the losses of the cavalry squadron?"

"More than half of the losses! Many of the surviving horses were wounded. The cavalry squadron is afraid that it will not be able to continue fighting. ”

"Damn it! What about the attackers? ”

"Run! By the time I arrived, they had already retreated ahead of schedule. I had taken a look before, and the group moved quickly and retreated in an orderly manner. Most importantly, during the retreat, they still had people to provide fire cover.

Most of the guys who ambushed our cavalry used Taisho 11 light machine guns and Czech light machine guns. In addition to this, they were armed with a significant number of submachine guns. It can be seen that this group of attackers is not simple! ”

"And what about your opinion?"

I didn't get much rest all night, and was sent out early in the morning to pursue the harassers. As a result, the bargain was not gained, but half of the cavalry squadron was boarded, and the infantry who were sniped did not count, and hundreds of people died in vain.

In the face of the Japanese Shao Zuo's inquiry, the Japanese captain who put forward the opinion thought for a while and said: "Shao Zuo, the situation ahead is unknown, we continue to pursue like this, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to catch them." Besides, I'm afraid they shouldn't be able to do this! ”

"You mean, if we continue the pursuit, we may be ambushed?"

"Yes! The group of attackers who had retreated earlier, I took a look, and there were only about fifty people. According to the normal establishment of the Chinese army, they had at least one company of troops. What about the others? ”

With the persuasion of the Japanese captain, plus the other pursuing little devils, the will to fight rapidly decreased after the anger, and the Japanese army Shaozo also knew that he could only choose to return to the city. Continuing the pursuit will only make more people live targets.

Xu Sandao and his party, who retreated to a distance and stopped, looked at the little devils who began to turn around and return to the city, and said in surprise: "Dog R, why don't these little devils chase after them." If they don't chase after them, won't the ambush we set up be in vain? ”

"Squadron leader, do you want to catch up and lure them over?"

"Forget it! Send a telegram to the detachment commander, requesting the next battle plan, and informing the little devil of the pursuit of the troops to return to the city! ”

Although he felt a little regretful, Xu Sandao understood that the little devil commander was not stupid. After chasing all the way, he didn't get any cheap, but he lost so many troops, and the little devil definitely won't continue to do this.

Receiving the telegram from Xu Sandao, Hu Biao thought for a while and said: "Order the reconnaissance detachment and the sniper detachment to continue to monitor Luzhou City." A platoon was transferred from the first squadron to set up a card on the highway outside Luzhou, pretending to be a little devil to check the passers-by and vehicles.

The rest of the troops, resting near the road, were ready to wait for new combat orders. From today onwards, I will turn Luzhou City into a dead city. Strictly inspect passing vehicles and personnel, and prohibit personnel and vehicles from entering Luzhou City in the name of martial law in Luzhou City.

In addition, the reconnaissance detachment and the sniper detachment were ordered to control the roads and exits in and out of Luzhou City. Unless the little devils attack in large numbers, they will all fight me back. I want the little devil to know that Luzhou City is surrounded by us! ”

"Detachment leader, with our little strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to encircle Luzhou City, right?"

"There are few troops, there are few ways to play. There are many troops, so there are naturally many ways to play. As long as the various traffic exits in and out of Luzhou City are blocked, I believe that in a short period of time, the little devils stationed in Luzhou City will definitely panic. In a panic, they will seek reinforcements.

On the contrary, although we have a small number of troops, we are very mobile. If you run into a convoy of little devils, let's take it down. Earlier, I had already contacted the New Fourth Army guerrillas in the vicinity, and they would send someone to contact us later.

With the cooperation of these guerrillas, we will look stronger. If you let the little devils in Luzhou City know that we have thousands or even nearly 10,000 people, do you think they can sit still? Besiege Luzhou City first! ”

Even if the scale of the task force is not large, there are many anti-Japanese armed forces in Luzhou. Relying on the cooperation reached between Hu Biao and the New Fourth Army, the New Fourth Army was also happy to send some guerrillas to cooperate with Hu Biao's task force.

Moreover, Hu Biao also made it clear that all the materials, weapons and ammunition captured during the war were handed over to the guerrillas that they did not use. In this way, the guerrillas who cooperated with Hu Biao in the fight would not be able to exchange their guns for a long time.

As the pursuing Japanese army retreated back to Luzhou City, the Japanese army Dazuo, who was about to rest, looked at the pursuing team with lost troops and lost generals, and said with an extremely ugly face: "Baga! What's going on here? How many rebels were there outside the city? ”

"Report to Dazuo! Although there are not many troops ambushing us outside the city, they are extremely equipped and have excellent combat skills. Their riflemen, most of whom were shooting from a distance of three or four hundred meters, were still able to accurately hit our warriors.

The cavalry squadron pursued too closely and was ambushed by the opponent's machine guns and submachine guns. Although the infantry that followed up was reinforced in time, those damn guys ran away after the fight and didn't go head-to-head with us at all. ”

"Then why not continue the pursuit?"

"The situation is unknown, and the morale of the troops is low, so I ordered the pursuit to end! And I think there must be a reason why these people dare to be so bold. That is, they must have a large army, hidden in a valley outside Luzhou City.

If the pursuit continues, I fear that the troops will be ambushed again. It was only for security that I ordered the troops to return. As far as the current situation is concerned, we must investigate the enemy's details before making a decision. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome! ”

In the face of Dazuo's questioning, Shaozuo, who led the team, still argued with reason. Even this retreat seemed to some officers to be a sign of fear and incompetence. But the cavalry squadron was attacked, which really shocked the Japanese Shaozo.

In addition, the combat effectiveness shown by the task force still made the Japanese army Shaozo extremely jealous. Continuing the pursuit, who can guarantee that there will be no ambushes near the road outside the city? The artillery unit that fired continuously last night has not yet appeared!

Although they dispatched half of the infantry brigade, they really encountered the anti-Japanese war armed with artillery, and the two armies played against each other, and it was really unknown who would win and who would lose. If the pursuit is too far, the Japanese army in Luzhou City will not be able to rescue in time.

Regarding the decision made by the Japanese army Shaozuo, although the Japanese army Dazuo was angry, he knew that Shaozuo had something to say about it. At the moment, they really need to figure out where this group of anti-Japanese armed forces who dared to bombard Luzhou City came from!

But the Japanese would never have imagined that when they sent out reconnaissance troops and prepared to disperse to carry out reconnaissance. The Japanese puppet army stationed in Luzhou City began to find that in the morning, they could not see a single person arrive in Luzhou City.

None of the scouts and plainclothes agents sent out came back. This strange situation instantly made the little devil in Luzhou City have a huge doubt. Could it be that they are surrounded?
