The Japanese infantry brigade that was ordered to reinforce Shilipu originally served as a reserve for the outer guard troops. When something happened at that cordon, the infantry brigade was immediately reinforced. Speaking of which, the commander of the Japanese division was also prepared in advance.

It is a pity that the Japanese 13th Division, which was stationed in the town, did not know about their troop movements, and was always under the control of the reconnaissance detachment of the task force. The existence of this infantry brigade naturally could not escape the attention of the reconnaissance detachment.

Before the attack on Shilipu began, a combat platoon and a prisoner of war company under Hu Biao, as well as a main regiment of the 51st Army, had already bypassed the surrounded Shilipu and built an ambush position behind it, just waiting for the little devils to come.

The Japanese infantry brigade, which rushed to the aid of Shilipu from the rear, did not expect to be ambushed on the way. When Hu Biao completely annihilated the two Japanese squadrons stationed in Shilipu, he rushed to the town without any consideration.

Yu Xuezhong, who was worried that Hu Biao was too confident earlier, looked at the convoys that appeared one after another from the highway, and finally realized where Hu Biao's confidence came from. He saw no less than ten cannons of zero and five caliber alone.

Coupled with those seven-five-caliber mountain artillery, as well as the 92 infantry guns and mortars carried into the car, Yu Xuezhong felt that if he had such equipment, he would dare to compete with the little devils. It's a pity that they can't afford to equip this kind of artillery at all.

Even if he commanded the troops of an army, the so-called artillery battalion directly under the army at hand could not even be equipped with a single 75 mountain gun, only the mortars that were equipped in the early years. Even this artillery battalion is still in a situation where every shell is missing.

Hearing that Hu Biao waited for the end of the battle and gave him the equipment of an artillery regiment, how could Yu Xuezhong not be excited? Although it is necessary to take a little risk, in Xuezhong's opinion, it is completely worth it. Tonight's battle, the odds are still great!

Xu Sandao, who was lurking on the road behind Shilipu, looked at the hurried footsteps coming from the road ahead, and quickly said: "Notify the troops, take the artillery as the signal." The shelling begins, a full-scale sortie! If the cannon doesn't go off, no one is allowed to attack without permission! ”

"Yes, Squadron Leader!"

Even the troops involved in the ambush were still the main regiment of the 51st Army. But tonight's protagonist is still a task force with fewer troops. At this point, even if some people in the 51st Army were not convinced, they did not dare to disobey the order given by Yu Xuezhong.

Even Yu Xuezhong himself followed Hu Biao's actions and led the guard regiment to cooperate in the battle. How dare the other troops disobey the command? What's more, it is undoubtedly riskier to play the main attack, and it is safer to play assists!

When Hu Biao came straight to the ambush position in a car, the reinforced Japanese infantry brigade also entered the ambush area set up in advance. With Xu Sandao's order, more than a dozen mortars instantly fired out the shells.

At the same time, the combat platoon and the prisoner of war company lurking on both sides of the highway also heard Xu Sandao's roar: "Fight!" ”

The shells that smashed into the ranks of the Japanese army blew up the originally neat Japanese marching ranks in an instant. Just when the little devil realized that he was being ambushed, the gunfire came from near the road on both sides, causing the reinforcements to fall into an ice cave.

The captain of the Japanese infantry brigade lying on the ground was very puzzled and said: "Baga! This, how can there be ambushes here? Where did these Chinese armies come from? What are our vigilant troops doing for food? ”

In the eyes of the infantry captain, the area from the standby area to Shilipu should belong to their rear base camp. In order to ensure the safety of the rear, the division also dispatched a number of latent posts and reconnaissance posts to pay close attention to the movements in the surrounding area.

On the way to reinforcements, they could faintly see the light of fire and the sound of guns coming from the direction of Shilipu, which indicated that their alert troops were fighting fiercely with the enemy. If they had been reinforced in time, they might have been able to catch the attacking troops by surprise.

As such, when they received the order, they immediately set off and hurried to Shilipu in a hurry. Unexpectedly, just two or three miles away from Shilipu, they were ambushed. This is truly surprising!

Looking at the shells that kept falling, the dense fire on both sides of the road, and looking at the subordinates who were constantly being killed and blown up, the infantry captain could only grit his teeth and say: "Quick, retreat!" Retreat to the back and don't crowd the road! ”

The little devil who was a little out of breath when he came on a rapid march, even if the strain was fast, he still couldn't stop the bullets coming from both sides, as well as the shells falling from the sky. The only thing you can do is lie on the ground.

The main force of the 51st Army, which cooperated with the ambush, looked at the little devils who were suppressed on the road, as well as the little devils, machine gunners and grenadiers who were constantly killed, and said with admiration: "Those people on the other side are indeed very powerful!" ”

"Yes! See? The little devil machine guns set up there have been replaced by six or seven, and the machine guns still haven't been able to fight. In terms of marksmanship, those guys are really better than us. The machine gun can't be fired, the little devil is dead! ”

In terms of troops, there is a main regiment sent by the 51st Army, and Xu Sandao and his party are also more than the little devils who have reinforced. In terms of firepower, the main regiment of the 51st Army may not be as good as the little devils. But the equipment of the task force is stronger than that of the little devils.

Even the weakest fighting prisoner company has weapons to choose from during this time, and the ammunition is enough. There were two heavy machine guns in a platoon, and at least one light machine gun in each squad. This equipment can be said to be the envy of the troops of the 51st Army.

According to Xu Sandao's prior arrangement, the combat platoon mainly dealt with the machine gunners and grenadiers of the little devils, followed by the military officers and officers of the little devils. The riflemen of the task force also have only slightly worse marksmanship than the sniper team.

Shooting at a distance of less than 100 meters, they can basically do that and hit that. When the little devil sets up a machine gun, there will be a special member of the combat team to 'serve'. In this case, how could the little devil machine gun fight.

Even at the urging of the captain of the Japanese infantry brigade, the little devils who began to retreat to the rear soon found that some machine guns could not be taken away at all. The reason is that whoever dares to pick up a machine gun and retreat will definitely not be able to run a few steps and will be killed.

Even the captain of the Japanese infantry brigade became the target of the combat team members. Fortunately, the captain of this brigade is lucky, and there are soldiers desperately guarding it. So much so that every time he shoots, he kills the little devil who blocks the bullet for him.

Seeing this scene, several snipers in the combat platoon said unwillingly: "Damn, it's rare to see a big fish, and let him slip away." Those little devils are really not afraid of death, and they dare to block bullets with their lives! ”

"That's it! They can't run away! Even if they fled back to the town, they would surely die. Do you hear the sound of a car? If I'm not mistaken, the detachment leader has already brought someone over. Next, it's our turn to attack! ”

Sure enough, when a squad leader heard the sound of cars coming from the highway behind him, Xu Sandao, who was in charge of the command, immediately said: "All platoon attack!" Drive the rest of the little devils back to the town. Blow the trumpet and let the opposing troops rush too! ”

As soon as the trumpet sounded, the main regiment of the 51st Army, which was staying on the other side to cooperate with the operation, also rushed out of the position under the order of the regiment commander. Looking at the officers and men of the task force running at the front, they didn't pay attention to the weapons abandoned by the little devils at all, but the officers and soldiers of the main regiment couldn't help it.

Soon someone said: "Company commander, there is a machine gun in front, can we pick it up?" ”

"Why don't you pick it up! Run faster, not only the machine gun, but also pick up the rifle for Lao Tzu first. See? Those guys in the three companies are desperately trying to pick up weapons! Sharp, whoever picks it up and waits will belong to whomever it is. ”

"Company commander, the weapon we picked up is really for our own use?"

"! Let's pick it up first! In total, this is just one weapon, even if it is to be assigned next, the group seat can't be without us, right? It's really not good, won't you hide it first? Oh, and don't forget to pick up some more bullets! ”

Similar to this kind of snatching weapons, Xu Sandao, who rushed in front, didn't pay attention to it. If he were the same as before, it is estimated that he would do the same. As a soldier, who wouldn't want to have a better weapon? A good gun can save your life at a critical moment!

Only the commander of the main force who led the pursuit looked at the chaotic troops, and couldn't help but scold: "You buns of rabbit cubs are still fighting, what kind of system are you making like this?" Alas, isn't this a joke for nothing? ”

"Laugh and laugh! If I could get so many good guns for a few laughs, I'd rather make others laugh a few more times! ”

The deputy head who stayed next to him heard the rebuke of the main head of the regiment, and replied directly. For many combat units of the 51st Army, most of the soldiers used Hanyang-made, and some rifling was smoothed.

This kind of rifle, even if it can still fight, how can it be accurate? Now that there is a rare opportunity to capture on the battlefield, it is still a weapon of a little devil, how can these officers and soldiers be willing to miss this opportunity to change equipment?

Looking at the little devil who fled all the way, and seeing the main force behind him that had not yet followed, Xu Sandao quickly said: "Combat platoon, continue to pursue, be sure to drive the little devil back to the town." Prisoner of War Company, cooperate with the pursuit!

Go to a few people, talk to their regimental commander, ask them to clear the road and let the follow-up convoy move on. Those weapons and ammunition, no one robbed them. Tell them that there are still plenty of weapons in the town waiting to be captured! ”

"Yes, Squadron Leader!"

Hearing Xu Sandao's order, the commander of the main regiment who cooperated with the operation also quickly organized the troops to clean up the road. It didn't take long for a large number of cars to appear on the road, followed by Yu Xuezhong, who came by car.

Seeing Yu Xuezhong getting off the car, the main head of the main regiment who led the command also quickly stepped forward to report. Seeing the troops cleaning up the battlefield, Yu Xuezhong quickly said: "Leave one battalion, and the rest of the troops will set off with the car!" ”

"Yes, Throne!"

Many officers and men of the main regiment standing on both sides of the highway looked extremely shocked when they looked at the cars that drove past one after another. The reason is that they all attracted all attention to the artillery suspended behind the car.

This kind of scene of cars pulling artillery is something that many soldiers have not seen several times in their years in the army. Seeing this scene now, they instantly feel much more confident, and feel that they should be able to win the next battle!
