"Boom! Rumble! ”

……

The individual firepower of the Nishimura Brigade was much stronger than that of the 424th Regiment, and the well-trained mortars could always wait for an opportunity to find a suitable position in the middle of the fierce battleground, quickly set up the barrels, complete the loading like a cloud, and pour shells on the fortifications of the first battalion.

A few mushroom-like smoke rose from the barrel-like fortifications of the first battalion, and the rhythm of the fire was sluggish.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Japanese army once again organized a charge. A large number of Japanese troops in yellow-green uniforms rushed towards the defensive positions like a swarm of ants.

"Da Da Da ......"

At this moment, a series of tongues of fire suddenly spat out from an inconspicuous place in the defensive position. It was the ZB-26 light machine gun that made a difference, and it had a more familiar name: Czech. This is a light machine gun produced in the Czech Republic, which is superior to the Madsen light machine gun in all aspects. After the Battle of Xigou, in order to commend them, the commander of Yurong allocated eight Czech-style regiments to them as a reward.

After getting eight Czech-style, Yue Siliang did not hesitate to directly allocate four weapons to a battalion, and such weapons can often exert their great power when they are used in a centralized manner.

Compared with Madsen and Crooked Handles, ZB-26 has better comprehensive performance. It has an excellent rate of fire and accuracy; Smooth ammunition feeding system. The most important thing is that it has good operability, as long as the soldier is properly trained, he can quickly use it and exert its power.

The swift bullets swept down a series of Japanese troops at that time, so that the Japanese army's charge was suddenly stagnant, and they did not dare to step forward easily. After all, not being afraid of death does not mean being brainless to die, and the Japanese army is not stupid at this point.

"Eighth Route Army...... This team is very interesting, and their commander is very good at setting up firing points. Artillery. ”

Nishimura raised his hand and signaled, and the artillery immediately moved, and several people pulled the Type 92 infantry gun and began to adjust the gun position. The weight of the Type 92 infantry gun is not large, only 0.212 tons, and it is only more than 400 catties in total, and it can be moved by a few people by dragging it.

But corresponding to the lighter mass, there is the good power of the Type 92, and the caliber of seven centimeters ensures that the shells it shoots have enough power, which is undoubtedly a sharp weapon for the civil fortifications on the Chinese battlefield.

"Boom!"

A shell was fired and landed about two meters in front of the previous light machine gun fire point. The machine gunner at the point of fire knew that he had been targeted by the enemy's artillery, and immediately picked up the light machine gun and moved away. This is also one of the great benefits of light machine guns, which are lighter in weight and can move quickly.

Seeing that the light machine guns of the first battalion did not dare to show their heads easily, Nishimura gave up the shelling. He could see that the other party's fortifications seemed to be very doorway, and as long as the soldiers hid inside, they would survive even if they were bombarded by shells. This also made Nishimura instantly suppress the idea of hitting a rifle with a cannonball.

"The devil officer on the other side is not stupid, and he didn't waste any more shells."

Seeing that the Japanese artillery fire stopped, Bai Lin frowned and said that he would rather the commander of the other party be a fool, so that he could be more relaxed, of course, he also knew that this was not realistic.

"Is there any news from the messengers who sent out?"

Thinking of this, Bai Lin turned around and asked the battalion headquarters officer, and the answer he got was the officer's shaking of his head.

"Also, the regiment headquarters is some distance away from us, and there will definitely be no news in such a short period of time."

Bai Lin scratched his beard, he knew that it was time for him to make a decision, if the regimental headquarters didn't react for a while, he would have to follow his own ideas.

……

The battlefield has resumed its previous rhythm, and the two sides have been back and forth on the battlefield, but the overall trend is that the positions of the first battalion are being lost little by little.

Seeing that his troops continued to achieve results, Nishimura was not as happy as he imagined.

"Your Excellency, are you worried about something?"

Cha Wanji could see that Nishimura was not relaxed at this time, and asked with some curiosity, because in his opinion, he didn't understand what Nishimura had to worry about.

"Che Sang, you don't understand. We can't be fooled by the gains in front of us in the war, and after fighting for such a long time, there is always only this one battalion of troops in front of us. Moreover, the opponent's firepower configuration and defensive layout are also clearly arranged according to a battalion-level unit.

Even if you want to keep the reserves, it is impossible to stand still in the face of repeated defeats in the forward positions! Although I am also an imperial soldier, I will not blindly believe that with the fifty death squads led by Second Lieutenant Nakagawa, I will be able to hold back a thousand enemy people! Che Sang, are you sure this is the base camp of the 424th Regiment? ”

Speaking of this, Nishimura's eyes were fixed on Che Wanji. In his heart, he actually doesn't trust the other party very much, especially at this juncture of war, he pays more attention to the accuracy of information.

"I'm pretty sure, Your Excellency, that's what my men reported to me."

At this time, even if he is not accurate in his heart, Che Wanji can only say this. He knew that if he hesitated to answer the opportunity, Nishimura would most likely kill him on the spot. After teaching the Japanese for so long, he understood that the gang in front of him was simply a group of moody beasts.

"Oh, that's right...... Did your people meet the top commander of the 424th regiment? ”

Nishimura still didn't give up and continued to ask.

"yes, I see."

It's just like this, Che Wanji also sent the Buddha to the west, since he lied, he told it all, as long as he didn't let go of his mouth, Xicun wouldn't be able to do anything to himself, and if they wanted to sit in a firm position in Lingqiu, they still had to rely on him and Fan Jianwen after all.

"If this is the base camp of the 424th Regiment...... So why did they just let this one camp top here all along? …… Could it be! ”

Nishimura's eyes suddenly widened, and he clenched his teeth tightly, causing the muscles on both sides of his cheeks to bulge.

"Not good! I'm afraid the large army of the Eighth Route Army is trying to escape! This one battalion is just to delay us! ”

Squeezing such a sentence out from between his teeth, Nishimura's face was full of frustration.

Because of Yue Siliang's sudden decision for safety reasons, as well as Che Wanji's lying on the battlefield, he misled Nishimura's thinking by mistake, making him mistakenly think that Baiyatai was the base camp of the 424th Regiment, and the actual situation that Baiyatai had only one battalion was also regarded by him as a covering force to buy time for the main force.

"Che Sang, now it's time for you to contribute to the imperial army!"

"I see, Your Excellency, Captain."

Cha Manji learned from the Japanese to bow to Nishimura. What Nishimura said about asking him to contribute was to let him lead the way for the Japanese army to pursue the large force of the 424th Regiment that might escape. This is also the main reason why Xicun called Che Wanji to join the army today.

According to the requirements of the Japanese army, the interpreters in the army must be served by Japanese. To put it bluntly, the Japanese army did not really trust those traitors, and generally resolutely refused to let them enter the army.

Although the Japanese army has been plotting against China for a long time and has drawn a lot of more detailed maps of China, they still can't do everything in detail, and the Japanese army may know very much about specific cities and main roads, but they don't know much about the plain hills like Baiyatai. The kind of small road between the mountains that only locals can walk, and you can't find it without the local people leading the way.

Che Wanji took two family members wearing Japanese military uniforms and led the large force of the Nishimura Brigade in the direction of Lime Ridge. If the large forces of the 424th Regiment really wanted to escape, then their escape direction would definitely be in the direction of Lime Ridge.

And there is a small road in the Lime Ridge that leads directly to the Tianshan Liang Valley where the next battalion is located, Che Wanji is very confident, he believes that under his own leadership, the 424th Regiment will definitely be wrapped in dumplings, and the whole army will be submerged in the valley of Baiyatai.

……

In Lingqiu County, after learning of the conspiracy between the Japanese and Che Wanji, Yue Siliang really couldn't sit still. The first battalion is the battalion with the strongest comprehensive combat effectiveness of the 424th Regiment, and Bai Lin is also one of his most proud generals. If the first battalion and Bai Lin really fell into the hands of the Japanese, then he would have to repent to death.

"Captain! What are we going to do?! Why don't you go back to Wuguliang now and take the troops to fight the little devils! ”

Back in the abandoned house, Lei Zi, who learned about this, seemed very excited, on the one hand, it was the conspiracy of the ruthless little devil, and on the other hand, he was excited because there was another battle.

"Impossible, our footsteps themselves are slower than the little devils, if we rush back to Wuguliang, and then lead the team from Wuguliang to Baiyatai. It's too far to go, and then all the time will be wasted on the road. ”

Yue Siliang said solemnly, this is the biggest drawback of the troops' poor information and lack of mobility: sometimes you can't dodge even if you know that the other party is slashing you with a knife!

"Then we can't sit here and watch!"

As soon as Yue Siliang said this, Lei Zi was immediately deflated, and he shook his head restlessly and said that at this moment, he already felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

"You rammer, who said you watched it."

With an angry kick on Lei Zi's ass, Yue Siliang turned his head to look at a young man in the guard platoon who looked a little raw.

"Cheng Fei, it's up to you this time."

Cheng Fei, the fortieth soldier of the guard platoon. Originally, the guard platoon has always been three integrated squads: thirty-nine people, and Lei Zi, the platoon leader, is also a squad leader.

It's not that the guard platoon doesn't lack this squad leader, it's that the guard platoon has too high requirements for soldiers, and the guard squad has been maintained at 39 since the Zhang Yang mutiny.

However, Cheng Fei is an exception, he was only recently added to the guard platoon. Compared with other soldiers, Cheng Fei's nature is more special, he was sent to various brigades by the division headquarters, and then assigned to their regiment by the commander of the Yuan Qing brigade.

In addition to his excellent qualities, Cheng Fei also has a special identity, that is, a telegraph operator trained by the division!

"Commander? What do you mean ......"

Cheng Fei asked with some hesitation, he had a faint sense of foreboding.

The corners of Yue Siliang's mouth lifted, and a trace of madness appeared in his eyes.

"We're going to ...... Capture the telegraph office! ”
