Chapter 1181: What a Big Appetite (Third Update!) )
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, a faint roar reached the captain's ears.
The captain, who had just calmed down, suddenly turned pale.
"It's not good, it's the cavalry, the cavalry of the new regiment has been killed!"
"Ready for battle, the first squadron was deployed on the spot and held them back...... The second squadron, the heavy machine gun squadron, the third squadron, stay here and set up positions, concentrate all the light and heavy firepower, kill them here, at least hit them hard, or else we will all die here tonight! ”
The somewhat restless troops quickly stabilized because of this order.
A squadron of more than 100 devils quickly gathered together, and then lay on the ground, concentrating the five remaining light machine guns of the squadron on the road, and the riflemen lying around, motionless and staring at the road ahead.
The sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and when the ground under the devil's feet began to tremble slightly, the cavalry appeared.
"Eight grid tooth road, machine gunner shoots right away~"
Under the cover of night, although the devil had just seen the cavalry, these cavalrymen had already rushed to the front less than a hundred meters away, and the squadron leader, who was holding the command knife in his hand, immediately shouted.
"Da Da Da ......"
Five machine guns quickly spewed five tongues of fire forward, very clearly.
"Boom ......"
In the sound of the huge horse's hooves, the devil could clearly hear the impact of the war horse falling to the ground.
"Just like that, everyone shoots, concentrate fire on them, or we will all die!" The squadron leader waved his command knife and continued to shout, his face hideous, as if he had been doped.
The infantry faces the cavalry, and if they can't stop them, then they will only end up being slaughtered, and all the little devils here know it.
So, without the squadron leader's order, they know what to do.
The machine gunners, the best way to shoot is to shoot, but at this moment, they have turned the machine gun into bursts, and the bullets are shooting out of the muzzle, although the muzzle has been red and has begun to smoke, there is still no intention of stopping.
The rifleman directly blocks the bullet in the most convenient position next to him, and then shoots the bullet as fast as he can.
The dense bullets, caught off guard, caused at least a squad of casualties to the cavalry.
However, the cavalry battalion also reacted very quickly.
With a gun in one hand, shoot at the spot where the fire is constantly coming out in front of you.
"Bang bang bang...... Although the crackling gunshots were very sparse, the counterattack fire shot by the devil was still obvious.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the cavalry battalion quickly dispersed.
The leading troops continued to assault forward, and the follow-up troops split into two and directly outflanked the two wings of the devils......
At the headquarters of the Japanese division in Linfen City, the deputy chief of staff hurriedly walked into the war room with a solemn face.
"Division commander, the Songshankou garrison is in a hurry, they still ran into a new regiment of cavalry troops, and now they are fighting a bloody battle!"
Lieutenant General Fujino sat on a stool, staring at a pair of big eyes, and a flash of despair quickly flashed across his face.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, God is still standing on the side of the Eighth Route Army, there is no position, rushing to fight, coupled with the cover of night, the infantry is definitely not the opponent of the cavalry!"
After saying this, Lieutenant General Fujino's face suddenly turned pale, and then exclaimed, "I understand! ”
"The new regiment has been hiding in our occupied area and not going back, not to eliminate many of us, but to occupy this area, to completely turn the Linfen City we occupied into an isolated city, and cut off our land transportation and supply lines!"
"How is it possible to occupy this area, they have such a big appetite?" The deputy chief of staff retorted with a look of disbelief.
"I didn't have such a big appetite before, but now I have!" Lieutenant General Fujino, who understood, replied with a calm face.
Then he stared at the deputy chief of staff and asked: "In addition to the losses of the transport team, how many troops did we lose in the next two nights, and how many mobile troops did we have?" ”
"Two and a half brigades, plus the Songshankou garrison that is fighting a bloody battle!" The deputy chief of staff replied.
"There are still three brigades of imperial troops left in this area where the activities of the Eighth Route Army are hidden, but two brigades are being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and they will definitely lose a lot of people overnight!"
"This means that in such a large area, we only have two brigades of infantry and one brigade of cavalry left~ By the way, there is also a field artillery brigade!"
"Hey!" The deputy chief of staff replied with his head bowed, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
In only two nights, the infantry of the five brigades was defeated by only two brigades, and more than half of them were lost.
Lieutenant General Fujino did not stop and continued to analyze: "Look at our opponent again, the Eighth Route Army exposed tonight already has three infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion, and even if the total strength is not three thousand, it is not much worse. You know, that's not counting the unexposed forces of the new regiment! ”
"In terms of troops, we no longer have any advantage!"
The deputy chief of staff retorted with an unwilling face: "Division commander, we still have a firepower advantage!" ”
"After dawn, our aviation will be able to kill it!"
"As long as we resist these Eighth Route Armies and find their hiding places, no amount of Eighth Route Army will be able to withstand the bombing of our air force!"
"And artillery...... We have a field artillery brigade that can completely suppress them under artillery fire! ”
Lieutenant General Fujino stared at the deputy chief of staff and replied: "This is our only hope for holding this occupied area!" ”
"Order the reconnaissance troops, the guard troops, keep an eye on these Eighth Route Army, and be sure to find their hiding place!"
"Contact the aviation now, after dawn, at least two squads of planes will be dispatched to reinforce us!"
"Plus, we've got to do another hand!"
"If the aviation can't inflict heavy damage on the Eighth Route Army hiding in our occupied area, before noon tomorrow, the remaining three infantry brigades in the occupied area, as well as two regiments of the Imperial Cooperative Army, must march and evacuate here!"
"If the occupied area can't be kept, we can only retreat to keep the troops, hold Linfen City, and then use Linfen City as the foundation to form the Imperial Association Army to seek a counteroffensive in the future!"
"So, our remaining troops in the occupied territories must be ready to retreat."
The devils who withdrew from Songshan Pass did not escape in the end, and under the assault and encirclement of the cavalry battalion, the whole army was annihilated.
Of course, the cavalry battalion also paid heavy casualties of almost a cavalry company.
At four o'clock in the morning, the newly formed 4th Battalion successfully took down the two trenches built by the Japanese army outside the stronghold through trench excavation, and killed nearly 300 little devils.
Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong also killed more than 200 little devils.
After looking at the watch on his wrist, Wang Ping knew that tonight's operation was coming to an end!
