The cavalry went out to reconnoitre, followed by armoured vehicles and convoys. The Japanese troops, who quickly gathered their forces, quickly withdrew along the Linju Highway. The follow-up blocking troops are also doing their best to block the pursuing anti-Japanese forces.

Although they knew that there was a large force of defenders chasing behind, the Japanese troops on the march still maintained the marching order. For the gathered Japanese troops, they were well aware of the consequences of an orderly retreat. An orderly retreat will also save more troops.

If there are no troops blocking them in front, the Japanese troops who are carrying out the retreat mission believe that they will be able to retreat smoothly. In these days of fierce fighting, they also knew that the defenders of the defense also suffered heavy losses.

As the pursuit continued, the Japanese were able to turn around and launch a counterattack. When the time comes, it is really unclear who will win and who will lose. It's just that considering that the artillery position was terminated, the Japanese army had little chance of winning the battle, and there was really no need to fight to the death with the defenders.

For many officers and men of the Japanese army's main battle division, when the battle loss reached 1 to 2 in the course of the battle, they would feel defeated. The loss of artillery coordination was a night battle, and the withdrawn Japanese troops were also worried about losing in the end.

Everyone knows that other Chinese people may not be able to compare with the Japanese army, but when it comes to numbers, they are far superior to the Japanese army. Even if the defenders exchanged two soldiers for a little devil, it was the Japanese army who couldn't hold it in the end. In these years, the Japanese army was still very concerned about casualties.

Listening to the sound of gunfire and explosions coming from behind them, the Japanese soldiers who were hurrying on the highway were still a little anxious. Fortunately, the speed of the car was not fast at night, so that the Japanese soldiers who were trotting on both sides of the car could still keep up.

Looking at the little devil cavalry in the distance, as well as the little devil who gradually entered the ambush circle, Hu Biao stretched out a hand at the right time. The two demomen had already grabbed the detonator in their hands, waiting for Hu Biao to give the order to detonate.

Looking at the line of long snakes on the road, staring at an armored car driving at the front. Just when the armored car was about to leave the explosion trap area, Hu Biao shook it with one palm and said loudly: "Detonate!" ”

The two Demomen then twisted the detonation device in their hands. Earlier in Shanghai, Hu Biao bought a large number of batteries and electric detonators. With these things, when setting up the explosion trap, he can more accurately grasp the timing of the explosion.

With the detonation device energized, several tons of explosives planted overnight in advance were completely detonated in an instant. The explosions and flames that rushed into the sky completely swept away the vehicles and personnel traveling on the highway, and the orderly marching procession was instantly chaotic.

The Japanese troops who were outside the explosion area were undoubtedly completely stunned when they saw that the team in front of them was all shrouded in the explosion. For the Japanese who decided to retreat, they did not expect such an ambush at all.

"Artillery squad, start shelling! Machine guns, plow me a few times along the road! ”

The officers and men of the special service company ambushed on both sides of the highway had long pointed their guns at those surviving little devils. As the mortars opened fire first, shells smashed into the ranks of the Japanese troops, causing the entire road to become chaotic again.

The crossfire formed by light and heavy machine guns constantly reaps the lives of the panicked little devils on the road. Many officers of the little devils could only shout weakly: "Get down!" Get down! Prepare to fight back, prepare to fight back! ”

While urging the soldiers around them to lie down, these little devil officers also tried to launch a counterattack. The problem is that the blocking position built by the spy company is less than 100 meters away from the road, but the slope is very large, and it is very difficult for the little devils to rush up.

What's more, the soldiers of the special service company lying in the trenches, in addition to light and heavy machine gunners, there are also many riflemen with superb marksmen. Coupled with the grenade that is placed next to you and unscrews the back cover, the little devils on the road are also close, so you have to fill it with your life.

The little devils who still survived in the explosion area have their own snipers and riflemen to deal with, and the targets that light and heavy machine guns deal with are more of the little devil infantry who have entered the firing range. As for armored vehicles and automobiles, there is not much left of this explosion.

Even after the explosion, the entire road was completely blocked. Many little devils who hid next to cars and began to shoot at the mountains soon tried the taste of machine guns. The huge machine cannonball completely blew up the surviving little devil car.

Obviously, there is only a team of more than 100 people, and the firepower is higher than that of a main regiment of the national army. Even if there are a large number of little devils on the road, in the face of rounds of projectiles, the little devils can only hug their heads and run away.

The two captains who were sitting in the car before directly followed in the footsteps of their co-captains. The brigade commander, who had been seriously injured by the explosion, which had been placed on the car, also completely lost his breath at the moment when the car was blown away.

The remaining little devils who followed up did not dare to stand on the road in the face of the shells constantly dropped from the mountains and the machine guns with a range of up to one kilometer. Even cars can't stop machine shells, let alone their flesh and blood?

The defenders, who were chasing the Japanese army in front of them, heard a loud explosion and fierce gunfire coming from the side of the road, and immediately realized that someone was blocking the fleeing little devils. The little devil in charge of blocking the fight realized that the situation was very bad.

Originally, they stayed to buy time for the retreating main forces. Now that the main forces are being ambushed, what is the point of their current blockade? Looking at the defenders who had fought a bloody onslaught, many Japanese troops could only reluctantly order a retreat.

"Brothers, rush! The little devil can't hold on, kill it! ”

Amid the shouts of some veterans and officers, countless soldiers who were lying on the ground and shooting at the little devils began to get up from the ground and chase after the little devils who were fighting and retreating with their guns. During the pursuit, there were also defenders who were knocked to the ground by the little devils.

Correspondingly, the pursuing defenders kept stopping and firing and knocked over the fleeing little devils. Then he rushed past these little devils who were killed, and continued to chase and kill those little devils who were still alive and were running away frantically.

In the end, some of the red-eyed warriors, after finding that the gun was out of bullets, either picked up the rifle next to the corpse of the little devil, or drew the big knife they were wearing, and continued to rush towards the little devils who escaped.

"Kill!"

The broadsword team of the Northwest Army, the little devils killed in the Great Wall War of Resistance were terrified. This tradition has also been preserved by the Northwest Army. For many veterans of the Northwest Army, they prefer to use big knives to slash and kill little devils in white-knuckle battles.

There are not many troops left to block the attack, and now the morale of the defenders who are fighting back is greatly boosted, even if the little devils left behind have the heart to die, they still can't resist the red-eyed defenders. Countless little devils were beaten to death and hacked to death on the way to escape.

And at this moment, a large number of little devils who are blocked on the highway are also very anxious in the face of the completely blocked and blocked highway. Even to the sadness of the little devils, they simply can't form an effective counterattack.

The organized death squads were often killed by the spy company before they could get close to the positions on the mountain beams on both sides. Even if a little devil lies down the position, he can't dodge the grenade that explodes in the air.

Without the support of artillery, with only the grenadiers carried by the little devils, they could not even set up a firing position. It was far away, and it was impossible to hit the blocking troops on the mountain beam. Get closer, and light and heavy machine guns and snipers will be able to take them out.

In the face of falling shells one after another, one of the surviving Japanese captains could only say bitterly: "Order the troops to retreat, withdraw from the enemy's shelling range, and choose other routes to break through." Fast! Retreat quickly! ”

"Your Excellency, what about our supplies and convoy?"

"Yaga! Stay any longer, and we'll be completely surrounded. Listen, the pursuers of the Shina army are getting closer and closer to us. If we don't find a way to retreat, our brigade will be collectively shattered. Quick, retreat! ”

Ignoring the supplies and even the soldiers who might survive, the Japanese captain chose to retreat very decisively. Even if you take a small road to detour, you have to find a way to withdraw to Ju County. Otherwise, their brigade will be removed.

Compared to the crippled brigade, sooner or later there will be a chance to rebuild. If the brigade is completely annihilated, then the number of the brigade may be revoked. How can you not understand this kind of stake as the captain of the Japanese army!

Hu Biao, who was shooting frantically, soon heard Xu Sandao next to him say: "Captain, the little devil in the back seems to be running away!" ”

"No way! We have limited forces, and if we get out of the trenches, we will not have a firepower advantage. Run, run! I hope that the 40th Army and the 59th Army can block them. We've done our best, so leave the rest to them! ”

"Yes!"

"Order the machine guns and mortars to stop shelling, light and heavy machine guns, and save some shells and bullets. Riflemen and snipers focus on clearing the surviving imps on the highway and preparing to clean up the battlefield. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Looking at the little devil who withdrew from Queen Cang, Hu Biao did not continue to waste shells and bullets. Not long after the explosion began, the cavalry squadron, which had left earlier, suddenly returned and rushed over, and soon became a live target for the machine gunners.

After a few shots, the little devil cavalry, who tried to rush to reinforcements, knew very well that they could not help, so they had no choice but to leave. When he arrived on the highway, there were no longer a few living little devils, so Hu Biao immediately said: "One row, follow me!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Sandao immediately said: "Captain, you just stay, I'll go!" ”

"What nonsense! The second and third platoons were on alert, and the first platoon followed me down to prepare to clean up the battlefield. Remember, pick what we need, and leave the rifles and grenadiers for the troops who come later! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Ignoring Xu Sandao's persuasion, Hu Biao, who took out two box cannons, quickly jumped out of the trench. With a platoon of fighters, they began to walk along the mountain beam to the road. During the march, Hu Biao threw grenades from time to time.

The target of the bomb is the place where the bullet can't reach. If there are hidden little devils under the mountain beams, it will be difficult to escape the shrapnel from the grenade bursting. With those burning cars as lighting, the situation on the road can be seen clearly.

Together with the snipers who remained in the trenches, they were constantly on the lookout for the situation on the road. As soon as they see a living little devil, they will shoot them in time. There is only one purpose for this, to ensure the safety of Hu Biao on the road down the mountain!
