There was artillery on this Eighth Army, and the Japanese army had already known about it from the intelligence and the mouths of the prisoners who were released twice by Li Ziyuan, as well as from their many dealings. But they only knew that there was a mountain cannon on the 8th Road, and a couple of mortars. For the Japanese army with a strong artillery, Li Ziyuan's artillery is almost equivalent to nothing.

However, the Japanese army really did not expect that there were still 20-millimeter small guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the Eighth Road. Because Li Ziyuan fought before, or when he attacked the city twice. Because of the amount of ammunition, these weapons are rarely used. The Japanese army itself was not equipped with 20-mm small guns, and there was no need to worry about air defense when fighting against the Eighth Route.

If the 13-mm anti-aircraft machine gun was also an anti-aircraft weapon of the Japanese standard, some ammunition could still be obtained. Then the 20-millimeter small cannon, which is only equipped with Chongqing and is not large in number, is extremely difficult to capture. Because of the source of ammunition, Li Ziyuan has always been quite stingy when using these two weapons.

If this thing was like the Type 38 rifle bullet that participated in the war this time, and it was so widely distributed, Li Ziyuan would not be so stingy. Therefore, the 20-millimeter cannon that suddenly opened fire on the head of the city made the Japanese puppet army feel quite sudden. Moreover, the Eighth Route actually used a 20-millimeter small cannon originally used for air defense, and the fact that it fired flat fire in turn was even more unexpected by the Japanese army.

What's more, small artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns were not used to hit the more threatening infantry, but in turn to hit the artillery positions, which the Japanese army did not expect at all. For the Japanese army, which has always been a bit brainless, anti-aircraft weapons are anti-aircraft weapons, which are used to fight planes, not people.

It is even more impossible for them to use small artillery to shoot flat and hit artillery positions. Because of this, the degree of wear of the shells on the barrel is considerable. The Japanese, who have always been meticulous in their calculations and are fully equipped with weapons and all kinds of flat-firing weapons, will not do such a thing.

Although the Japanese did not pay much attention to the tactics of bayonets on the artillery, in order to ensure that the artillery gave full play to its power, the Japanese artillery position was set up on a high ground one thousand meters outside the city of Hubei. This distance exerts the best power of the 20-mm cannon. As a result, the Japanese artillery positions were almost swept down, and the Japanese artillery positions were almost jumping.

Under the cover of anti-aircraft machine guns and small guns at the head of the city, as well as mortars that turned their guns to fire at the Japanese heavy machine gun positions, a company of eight roads suddenly rushed out of the city and launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops north of the city. When a company of the Eighth Route Army rushed over with a rifle with a bayonet, the remaining Japanese troops were stunned on the spot.

In the north of the city, more than half of the troops were lost, as well as most of the Japanese troops supporting the firepower. Unable to withstand the counterattack launched by the Eighth Route in front of him, a multi-squad fell under the machine gun fire and bayonets of the Eighth Route, and the rest cowered in a graveyard to resist desperately.

Of course, Li Ziyuan on the head of the city also accepted it when he saw it. I didn't think about completely eating the remaining Japanese troops. That would be too much of a waste of time for Li Ziyuan. For Li Ziyuan, the remaining Japanese troops just need not to disturb themselves to clean up the battlefield.

After cleaning the battlefield cleanly, the Eighth Route Army, which went out of the city to counterattack, took a captured mountain cannon, a Type 91 * gun, two mortars outside, and two Type 92 heavy machine guns, as well as a large number of materials and weapons and equipment.

However, before leaving, the counterattack force sent by Li Ziyuan blew up all the other equipment that could not be carried away. Almost all of the people who could be moved were moved. The Eighth Route Army is indeed an expert in cleaning the battlefield, and in such a short period of time, it actually cleaned the battlefield so neatly.

Not only light and heavy weapons were taken away, but also the uniforms, belts, bullet boxes, steel helmets, and gas masks of the fallen Japanese soldiers, as well as the maps, binoculars, field telephones, and military radios in the Japanese headquarters. Even before leaving, he didn't forget to bring back the saber of the fallen Shaozuo and the remaining half-pulled body of Liu Kaishan.

The most important thing is that some of the already loaded poison gas shells transported by the Japanese army were also swept away by Li Ziyuan. The rest that can't be taken away will be blown up with a cluster*. When the Japanese puppet army from other directions heard the news and rushed to reinforce it, the Japanese puppet army in the north of the city was only left with a piece of stump and broken arm, plus a corpse that was stripped to only a piece of crotch cloth.

Of course, Li Ziyuan is still very kind. When he launched a counterattack, he was killed and wounded in the city, as well as the corpses and wounded of the Japanese soldiers who were burned to death and burned, and they were also kindly sent back. Outside the northern city, it became an exhibition hall for the corpses of Japanese soldiers at this time. Bodies with different postures and different ways of dying were scattered all over the place.

Those corpses that still smelled of barbecue at this time, and half of the corpses were burned, which made people's scalps fried. And those Japanese wounded soldiers who were sent out by Li Ziyuan, especially the wounded Japanese soldiers who were burned, the screams of their father and mother also made people stunned from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Ziyuan did not bandage these Japanese soldiers at all, because he did not have enough medicines, bandages and doctors on hand. So Li Ziyuan was still a little apologetic, and left a letter of apology to the supreme commander of the Japanese army. Of course, Li Ziyuan already knew at this time that the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Hubei was Major General Nakajima Tokutaro.

After listening to the words left by Li Ziyuan, who had finished reading the translation, Major General Nakajima Tokutaro, who had rushed over from the east of the city, stared at the city gate cave not far away, and his face became blue and purple. The hand holding the handle of the saber was clearly heard by the people around him, the creaking, creaking of the joints.

Although Major General Nakajima Tokutaro has been suppressing and the anger that is churning in his heart, everyone knows that His Excellency Major General is on the verge of exploding. Looking at Major General Nakajima Tokutaro's somewhat hideous expression, all the Japanese puppet army officers present had a thought in their hearts.

The commander of this Eighth Route Army is also too fucking lacking in morality. Even if you win the battle, you can't be so insulting. Don't talk about a general, even a recruit can't stand the words of your letter. Are you apologizing for not being able to provide the necessary treatment to the wounded prisoners, or are you fucking begging for money?

Although the Eighth Route Army wrote in the letter treated prisoners preferentially, it was too poor after all, and there was a shortage of medical treatment in their hands. We apologize for not being able to provide the necessary medical support to the captured and wounded soldiers of your army. Since Japanese soldiers have always paid attention to the spirit of bushido, and have never been afraid of death and pain, it is estimated that they will be able to overcome this small injury.

Anyway, the Japanese army has always shown no mercy to the wounded soldiers of the Chinese army, and basically did not leave any of them. Although it was not good for him to do this, compared to some of the practices of the Japanese army, at least it did not look like it, and it could be regarded as a humanitarian spirit.

Although the previous words are a little unpleasant, they are barely okay. But the latter words are really a bit excessive. What hope is that Major General Nakajima Tokutaro will put the lives of the soldiers first, and not send the results of the Eighth Route Army in vain. Thanks to such a generous gift from General Nakajima, this time his troops can be replaced with guns and equipped with all Japanese mechanized troops.

Now the Eighth Route Army still lacks some shells, and if General Nakajima doesn't mind, it's better to send some. He, Li Ziyuan, promised to give General Nakajima and the Imperial Japanese Army a receipt to prove that he had received a gift from General Nakajima. In order to express his gratitude, he also specially returned the Japanese dead and wounded to the Japanese army.

These words, this is an apology and thanks, aren't you simply adding fuel to the fire? It's just that all the Japanese puppet soldiers are angry, but all the Japanese puppet soldiers who rushed over looked at the empty North Gate Cave, but no one dared to rush inside. It's like the city gate cave that is empty at this time, like a ghost gate.

At this time, the supreme commander of the Japanese army, Major General Nakajima Tokutaro, although he was still angry, he suddenly calmed down. He knew that this letter was the cunning Eight Paths, consciously provoking himself. Although he said that he was not afraid of his radical method, if this operation caused too many casualties, it would inevitably affect the next battle plan of the division and regiment.

It's just that despite calming down, this Major General Nakajima Tokutaro doesn't have much to do. Now the first thing he can do is collect the corpses, otherwise a large number of corpses and wounded are lying here, which can only make the continuous attack fail, and the loss is not light, resulting in the already somewhat low morale, which will be even more depressed.

Just as the Japanese soldiers stepped forward to collect the corpse, the corpse that they had lifted suddenly exploded. I don't know when the corpse was tied up, and the Japanese soldiers who went to collect the corpse were going to collect it. Along with the corpses they were carrying, they were blown up and scattered. The person carrying the corpse became a pile of corpses in the same way as the corpse in his hand.

Some of them were in front of the corpses, and some of them were buried with *modified *, using wild grass and ditches. The Japanese army, which had just come over to reinforce it, lost more than half of the squadron without firing a single shot. It was the first explosion, and some people reacted without lifting the body.

Looking at the people who went to collect the corpses, they ended up becoming a pile of corpses. Major General Tokutaro Nakajima's face felt like he had been slapped several times. But even if the corpse collection unit was killed and injured by the bombing, the corpse should still be collected. Otherwise, if you go back, your life's hard work will end here.

In desperation, the Japanese army did not dare to lift the corpse directly. I could only grab some people from a few surrounding villages, clean up the area around the corpse little by little, and then use a rope to cover the corpse's feet and drag it back little by little at a distance of more than ten meters. Some of the intact corpses are better to say, and the burnt corpses are almost scattered.

Although the people who were forced to be helpless were nauseous enough, they could only collect the corpses while vomiting. After being busy for a long time, all the bodies were taken back and prepared for cremation. It's just that to the surprise of all the Japanese soldiers, they encountered nothing when they rescued the wounded. Smoothly, all the wounded were carried back.

All the intrigues and tricks of the Eighth Road on the opposite side were not applied to these wounded. It's just that even if some of the wounded are rescued, they may have to be permanently disabled. There are also a considerable number of people, mainly those who have extensive burns, and some seriously injured people who have developed symptoms of infection because they have not received any treatment for a long time, may not survive tonight.
