Chapter 773: Fierce Battle at the Mouth of the River

The devil shot and fought for a while, and he felt bored. In the pitch black field, the visibility does not exceed 20 meters, and it is impossible to see the situation beyond 30 meters.

Ishikawa judged from the light of the shooting that there were only fifty or sixty people in this group of Tsuchihachi. At first, he didn't pay attention to it, his own strength was five or six times that of the other party, and it was not a piece of cake to eliminate this gang of Tubalu?

But the other side fired only two shots, and knocked down fifty or sixty devils. And on his own side, he fired for a long time, and I am afraid that even a single Eighth Route Army was not defeated.

If you continue to fight like this, I am afraid that your own people will fight less and less. Ishikawa felt his head grow slowly.

No, this reactive situation must be changed. He ordered the devils to stop shooting. Call two squad leaders and order them to lead their own teams, one squad to the east, one squad to the west, each out of Erli Road, and then to the south, forming an encirclement, first surround this group of Eighth Route Army, and then fight with them.

No one fired a shot on either side, and the field was silent. The devils of the two squads quietly interspersed in a roundabout. Half an hour later, the encirclement was closed, and it shrank inward.

After a while, the devils all gathered together again, and they surrounded the air, and the Eighth Route Army had already jumped out of their encirclement.

More than 200 devils gathered together again.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out on all sides. It turned out that these dozens of Eighth Route Army had surrounded the devils. The gunfire was not very intense, but the hit rate was high.

The devils fell one after another.

Ishikawa saw that there were less than twenty people shooting to the south, and he screamed wildly and ordered the devil to charge south. Although there are only a few dozen people in the Eighth Route Army, it is not a matter for them to surround and fight.

More than 200 devils, regardless of the danger, braved the bullets of the Zhuqing squad and rushed south with "hulalala". They would rather be killed by thirty or twenty than wipe out these dozens of Eighth Route Army.

If these twenty team members work hard against the devils, the result is very clear, and none of them can escape.

But as soon as the devil was wild, the Zhuqing team stopped fighting. Take advantage of the favorable terrain and quietly withdraw.

The devil rushed for a long time, and he didn't even see the shadow of the Eighth Route Army. Rushed out of the encirclement, took the team, and ran south non-stop, and the Zhuqing team chased after him, fighting unhurriedly, and the devil kept falling one after another.

Ishikawa sighed: "Eight grid tooth road! I was pestered by them. ”

Yes, Ishikawa was entangled. I won't fight with you, and I can't shake it off. If you have the opportunity, you will shoot a volley of guns. A row of guns is coming, and at least a dozen devils must be knocked down.

The two sides fought and walked, and they had already left the railway line, and on this vast field, in the dark night, they did not know where they were. I don't know what the final result will be. The battle came to this, which Ishikawa never expected.

What Ishikawa didn't expect was that the estuary brigade he sent to pursue the siege of the Eighth Route Army also suffered the same result.

Ishikawa had a lot of combat experience. Listening to the sound of gunfire, you can know that the Eighth Route Army besieging the city was only three or four hundred people. And guarding Yunpu is a wing of devils, thousands of people. The balance of power is not on one level.

Sure enough, the Eighth Route Army was soon driven out of Yunpu City. Hundreds of people want to attack Yunpu, isn't this an egg hitting a stone? Isn't that what makes him Ishikawa inappropriate? If you want to be angry, you won't hit one place!

Ishikawa sent a brigade to pursue this group of Eighth Route Army, even if he could not destroy this group of Eighth Route Army, he could also defeat and scatter them.

The Hekou Brigade chased out of Yunpu City with great momentum. Unfortunately, at night, I couldn't see clearly, and I chased for several miles, and I couldn't see the shadow of the Eighth Route Army.

The captain couldn't make up his mind, whether to continue the pursuit, or withdraw his troops back to the city?

Just then, the gunshots rang out again. The two sides fought again. After a while, the estuary charged. But after rushing for a long time, no one fought him, and the Eighth Route Army didn't know when it had withdrawn.

So, Hekou ordered a pursuit, and chased five or six miles in one go, but found nothing. Maybe this gang of Eighth Route Army has run away.

It was at night, the surrounding situation was unknown, and if it fell into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, then things would be in trouble. Kawaguchi decided not to chase. Collect the troops and return to the city.

At this moment, the Eighth Route Army appeared again, and rifles, machine guns, and small steel cannons opened fire together, causing a large number of casualties among the devils in an instant.

The estuary was furious, and the light and heavy weapons opened fire. He ordered two squadrons to fight on the front, and the other two squadrons to outflank them from both sides, in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the gang.

But before he could act, suddenly there was a loud shot behind him, and bullets rained down. This wave of unexpected blows caused a large number of casualties among the devils.

The estuary was stunned for a moment. Listening to the sound of gunfire, the firepower of the three or four hundred people on the eight roads in front did not decrease, and the people who attacked them in the back also had three or four hundred people, which means that the two forces of the eight roads together should be the strength of two reinforced battalions.

What's even more terrifying is that the equipment of these two battalions is not like the dirt roads encountered before, and they run out of bullets after a few shots. Listening to the gunfire of these two battalions, it turned out to be a one-color three-eight big cover. But also heavy weapons such as machine guns, small steel cannons, etc.

Originally, the strength of the estuary brigade was several hundred more than these two battalions, but after several surprise attacks, the devils were greatly reduced, and the strength of the two sides was already about the same. The current situation is that it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose.

Captain Kawaguchi's judgment was right. The Eighth Route Army did invest two battalions of troops. We already know that it was Zhiyuan's independent battalion that attacked Yunpu. Then it was Hong Feng's independent battalion that launched a surprise attack on the devils.

Fan Jiang and the monkey had already planned it before. In order to hijack the 328th military train, it is necessary to transfer the forces of the devils, drag them down, and prevent them from returning to Yunpu City, so that they can have time to transport a train of supplies away.

Now, the devil has been transferred out of Yunpu for nearly twenty miles. If they are transferred more than 20 miles to the southwest, they will enter the base area. At that time, it will not be a matter of holding them back, and maybe they will be eliminated.

Zhiyuan and Hong Feng came together to discuss. Zhiyuan said: "Battalion Commander Hong, now that we are encircling the devils, the devils are likely to organize a breakthrough. It's hard for us to wrap them up. ”

Hong Feng said, "What do you mean? ”

Zhiyuan said: "We let the devil break through in a directional direction. We concentrated our forces to the east and north, leaving only one company in the southwest. Seeing that the southwest forces are weak, the devils must break through to the southwest, so that they will be farther and farther away from Yunpu. Then we will wait for an opportunity to destroy them. ”

Hong Feng said: "Battalion Commander Fang's appetite is not small! Okay, I agree with your play. ”

Zhiyuan said: "Okay, let's go our separate ways now." ”

Seeing that his team was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, the captain of the estuary brigade was very passive in such a battle. In fact, since leaving Yunpu, he has never taken the initiative.

When and where the two sides will fight, it is not up to him to decide. When he wanted to fight, he didn't see the figure of the Eighth Route Army, and when he didn't pay attention, the Eighth Route Army suddenly started fighting again.

Fighting on the plains, there is no good terrain to take advantage of. When the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to fight, it must have occupied a good terrain. And if the devil responds to the battle in a hurry, it will be difficult to occupy a good terrain. In this way, extremely favorable conditions were created for the Eighth Route Army to annihilate the enemy in large numbers.

Now, the devil is surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there is no place to hide. The estuary gritted his teeth and thought, he must break out, otherwise, he will soon run out of people!

He saw that the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the southwest was weak, probably only more than a hundred people. Then he gave the order to charge southwest.

Nearly 1,000 people of the devils opened fire with light and heavy weapons, shouting and rushing to the southwest. Without encountering any resistance, the devil broke out of the encirclement.

They ran forward for a while, and the Eighth Route Army followed them. The chaser gun hurts the most. Although it was night and the guns were not accurate, the devils still fell in batches.

Kawaguchi was in a hurry and ordered the devils to stop and deal with the Eighth Route Army behind them. But the more than 100 Eighth Route Army in front of him reappeared. Rifle machine guns came together.

Only then did he realize that he was actually still surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. If they do not wipe out these more than 100 Eighth Route Army, it will be difficult for them to jump out of the encirclement.

As a result, Hekou issued an order to charge the more than 100 Eighth Route Army. More than 100 Eighth Route Army troops jumped up and ran, and the Hekou Brigade was in hot pursuit, and behind them, the two independent battalions of the Eighth Route Army were also chasing and fighting.

In this way, the estuary brigade gradually left the area occupied by the devils, ran into the base area ghosts, and left corpses all the way.
