The veteran controlled the retreat speed of the ** battalion to ensure that he would not be caught up by the devils, but he would not disengage, so he hung the devils in front of him. 【Reading.com】

Seeing that the devil was about to enter the ambush circle, an unexpected situation suddenly appeared.

It may be that the commander of the little devil was in a hurry, and ordered the devil to split into two, one to continue the pursuit, and the other to try to outflank the front of the ** battalion.

At this time, if the original plan is still carried out, the situation will get out of control.

The inverted triangle ambush array is powerful in striking from three different directions, and no matter how well-trained soldiers fall into the ambush array, it is inevitable that they will be confused, taking advantage of this moment of confusion, the crossfire without dead ends is enough to shoot the prey in the ambush array, and the prey does not even have a little room for resistance, which has been proved by countless actual battles.

However, if, in a life-or-death situation, another enemy army suddenly appears from the flank, the situation is very different.

Because once the inverted triangle ambush array loses its firepower, it is just three machine gun fire points, and only three grenades are needed to easily destroy it.

The veteran immediately made a decision and stopped to block the attack in order to attract the roundabout devils.

As soon as the veteran gave the order, the remnants of the soldiers behind him immediately scattered and quickly seized the firing point.

**The battalion suddenly stopped firing back, and hit the devil unguarded, and an infantry group that rushed to the front was immediately annihilated by the machine gun fire of the **battalion, but the tactical literacy of the little devil was really not covered, and the follow-up brigade of devils quickly reacted, looking for cover and firing at the **battalion.

The heavy machine gun squad quickly seized the commanding heights around it and stepped up the construction of fire support points.

However, the veteran's intention was also achieved, and seeing that the ** battalion stopped to block the attack, the other group of devils who were originally going to go back to the front to intercept also quickly turned around and outflanked them.

In less than a moment of fighting, the ** battalion soon fell into passivity.

After a bullet fight, the veteran picked up the crooked machine gun, turned around and left: "Withdraw"

Less than two seconds after the veterans withdrew from their blocking positions, the devil's support fire, including six light machine guns, four heavy machine guns, and nine grenadiers, poured down a dense rain of bullets and nine 50-caliber high-explosive grenades.

Because Heipi's brain was still confused, he was half a beat slower, and as a result, he was knocked to the ground by the air wave generated by the explosion, and his arms and back were also torn open by the fragments of the grenade, and the blood flowed like an injection in an instant, and the person was lying on the ground motionless.

The devils merged into a strand, and they chased and killed them unrelentingly.

Rushing through a street corner, the devil who was chasing after him found that his eyes were open, but he chased into a square.

Seeing that the remnants of the ** battalion had fled to the northeast corner of the square, the little devil chased after him without hesitation.

The little devils who chased sex were completely unaware that they had stepped into the trap of the Chinese.

Running to the edge of the square, the veteran immediately put down the black skin, then turned over and fell behind a broken wall, first knocked down a devil with one shot, and then ordered loudly: "Fight"

In an instant, dozens of Chinese soldiers appeared on the three commanding heights on the periphery of the square.

In the next moment, twelve crooked light machine guns and two Type 92 heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the dense bullets poured into the devil's head like rain in an instant, and the area within a radius of 100 meters became a human slaughterhouse in an instant, and the devils who stepped into it were like livestock, being slaughtered one by one quickly and ruthlessly.

"Hit, give me a hard beating, kill the little devils of the dog day, kill them, kill them"

Niu Dazhuang roared again and again, while pressing the button tightly, the Type 92 heavy machine gun in front of him kept roaring for a moment, spitting fire frantically towards the center of the square, and a vague trajectory burst out from the muzzle of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and where the trajectory swept, the devils fell in rows.

Dividing line

Rewind the clock to a moment ago.

The 3rd Infantry Squadron, which had been engaged in the attack, made rapid progress, and it took less than five minutes in total from the launch of the attack to the breakthrough of the squadron's outer defenses, a result that excited Chiaki Shigeto, Nobuyoshi Ohara, and the combat staff officers who were standing on a hill to watch the battle, and all believed that the battle would soon be over.

Ohara Nobuyoshi said to Chiaki Shigeto proudly: "Your Excellency Commander, it seems that we have overestimated the combat effectiveness of the remnants of the 79th Division, and the Chinese Army is the Chinese Army after all, and it may be barely possible to fight ambushes and engage in sneak attacks, but once they engage in an honest battle, they are not the opponents of the Imperial Army at all." ”

Chiaki Shigedo frowned, feeling a faint uneasiness in her heart.

The 4th Infantry Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Brigade broke through the defensive position of the ** squadron so easily, which greatly surprised Chiaki Shigeto, but it was precisely because the 3rd Infantry Squadron was progressing too smoothly that Chiaki Shigeto was particularly uneasy, and it seemed that the 79th Division should not be at this level

If the provisional 79th Division only had such a little combat effectiveness, how could it be possible to kill Prince Toshihiko Fushimiya

If the provisional 79th Division only had such a little combat effectiveness, how could it be possible to turn around the tens of thousands of troops of the three infantry wings that were encircling and intercepting them, and finally calmly break through the encirclement and cross the river, not to mention that the acting commander of the 6th Infantry Wing, Akita, committed suicide, and even forced the commander of the front army, Matsui Ishone, to resign and apologize

"No, no," Chiaki Shigeto said in a deep voice, "Oda-san, hurry up and let the attacking troops withdraw"

"Nani, retreat" Oda Nobuyoshi said in astonishment, "Your Excellency Commander, the 3rd Infantry Squadron is progressing smoothly, it is about to break through to the city center, according to the current situation, it will not take more than half an hour at most, this battle should be over, it seems a little inappropriate to order the troops to retreat at this time."

"Yaga" Chiaki Shigeto said angrily, "Hurry up and give the order right away"

However, before Chiaki Shigedo could speak, the gunfire, which had become sparse in the city, suddenly became dense.

"Hmm" Suddenly hearing such a dense gunshot, Oda Nobuyoshi's face changed slightly, and he immediately raised his binoculars to look in the direction of the city, and said with a frown, "What's the matter, is it that guy Funakoshi Masa?"

Until this time, Oda Nobuyoshi didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, but he just felt a little strange, the imperial army that broke into the city was only a squadron, how could it have such a powerful firepower If you judge from the intensity of firepower alone, you are about to catch up with the firepower of a brigade, except for the first infantry wing, Oda Nobuyoshi can't think of anyone else

As for the Chinese, Oda Nobuyoshi didn't think about it.

How could the Chinese have such powerful firepower?

Chiaki Shigedo was silent, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

The intense gunfire continued for about five minutes before thinning out again.

After another moment, the entire Xicheng District of Nantong City could not even hear a single gunshot, only a few gunshots were heard in the distance in the Beicheng District, but it was these faint gunshots that shattered Shigedo Chiaki's last illusion, and from these few gunshots, it can be known that the Funa-Yue Wing in the north did not fail to launch a strong attack.

That is to say, the gunfire in Xicheng just now could only be Chinese

But even so, Shigeto Chiaki still has a trace of luck in his heart, perhaps, it's really the Funakoshi Wing

However, Chiaki Shigedo's last bit of luck was quickly shattered by the cruel and ruthless reality.

A group of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the telescope, although they were thousands of meters away, Chiaki Shigeto could still feel their fear from the running of these dozen Japanese soldiers, they were no longer retreating, but like a group of frightened muntjac deer, fleeing in a hurry, as if chasing a group of bloodthirsty wolves behind them.

Behind them were indeed chasing a pack of bloodthirsty wolves, a bunch of Chinese soldiers

The Chinese soldiers reversed the embarrassment of the retreat just now, became calm, while chasing forward, while raising their guns to shoot, shooting the Japanese soldiers fleeing in front of them one by one, in the field of vision, the fleeing Japanese soldiers are becoming fewer and fewer, less than a moment of effort, only a few Liao Liao remained, and in the end only two escaped alive.

The two Japanese soldiers were soon brought before Chiaki Shigedo and Nobuyoshi Ohara.

"Commander's Cabinet, Your Excellency." One of the senior soldiers stammered, "I, I, we have been ambushed by the people, and the whole squadron has been shattered. ”

"Nani, you say it again" Oda Nobuyoshi grabbed the devil lieutenant in front of him and roared loudly, "Repeat what you just said, repeat it again"

"Haiyi" The devil's senior soldier was yelled at by Oda Nobuyoshi, but he stopped stammering, and stepped forward and replied, "Captain, our squadron was ambushed in the municipal square, from Squadron Leader Ono down, one hundred and eighty-four imperial warriors, only me and Shimizu Kawa escaped back, and the rest have all been shattered."

"No, it can't be, it's impossible" Oda Nobuyoshi let go of the devil's superior soldier, completely stunned.

Chiaki Shigeto's face was also full of disbelief, how long did it take from the sound of the gun to the end, and the full fight was only four or five minutes, less than ten minutes, in such a little time, a full squadron, one hundred and eighty-four imperial warriors collectively shattered one hundred and eighty-four pigs, and the Chinese could not kill them all so quickly

How is it possible, how is it possible, how is it possible when did the ** squadron become so powerful

However, after the shock, Chiaki Shigedo finally realized that this battle may not be rushed.

"Order" Chiaki Shigeto gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, "The artillery team will carry out a rapid fire attack on the urban area of Nantong for half an hour, and then send a report to the commander of the front army for tactical guidance from the aviation." ”

The "Hai" herald bowed his head
