Chapter 40: The Defeat

The situation has begun to become passive. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the misjudgment of the number of devils, it was impossible to end the battle as soon as possible, and it entered a state of anxiety.

Qin Yuan saw that the devil had set up a grenadier, and hurriedly commanded the troops to shoot in the direction of the grenadier.

But it was too late.

I saw streaks of green smoke rising from the devil's position, and then there were continuous explosions and screams on both sides of the cliff.

There was a burst of gunfire on both sides, and the devils took advantage of the gap to begin to gather their troops.

Qin Yuan fluttered and sat up from the mound.

A grenade exploded not far from him, burying him with a clod of dirt. But fortunately, God favored him and was not injured.

A lot of dirt slag flew into his eyes, and he had to take out the kettle and wash it.

Squinting at the devil in the distance, the little devil had completely taken the initiative by relying on the fire cover of the grenadier.

Grenade after grenade flew out of the grenadier and exploded on their own positions, reaping the lives of their brothers.

Qin Yuan was a little anxious, he didn't know how Lei Gang commanded on the frontal position. The men and horses of the three companies shot condescendingly, but they couldn't suppress the little devils.

Picking up the rifle in his hand, Qin Yuan aimed in the direction of the grenadier.

The devil's grenadier must be knocked out, otherwise this battle will be more than auspicious.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he held the gun steadily, and the bullets whizzed past Qin Yuan, but he was unmoved.

Pull the trigger hard, and a devil who was loading a grenade fell directly to the ground.

But the grenade was still fired, and the two brothers were blown into the sky along with the bunker in front of them.

"!" Qin Yuan scolded in a low voice, and moved to the other side of the position.

"Lao Zhang, tell the brothers to prepare grenades and go to the direction of the devil's grenadier together!"

Qin Yuan shouted at Zhang Fenglin loudly, and then took out a grenade from his waist.

pulled the lead, silently counted "one, two, three" in his heart, and shook his hand still to the devil.

The grenade swirled in the air and landed on the ground in smoke.

There was a "boom" and it exploded next to the car.

A devil was unlucky, hit in the thigh by shrapnel, and fell to the ground screaming with a bleeding wound.

The other brothers followed suit and took out grenades and threw them at the devil.

Dozens of grenades exploded together, and the scene was still very spectacular.

At that time, three trucks were set on fire, and the flames burned to the grenadier ammunition next to it.

Although the devil soldiers desperately came over to transfer the ammunition, they were still a step too late.

The ammunition of the martyrdom was reduced to ashes, along with the truck and the brave devil.

At this time, the situation on Lei Gang's side was actually not good.

Since many of his soldiers were new recruits, they lacked combat experience. Most of the only combat experience was the last time I ambushed the devil at Tunzikou.

It's okay to fight with the wind, but as soon as the situation is passive, these recruits start to collapse.

Although there is a Makqin heavy machine gun in his hand, two grenadiers. But these heavy weapons are controlled by two knives.

The only experienced heavy machine gunner was still under Qin Yuan, and he followed Qin Yuan to the right side of the cliff.

As a result, there is now a strong firepower in the air, but it is not used.

Seeing that the devil was getting more and more fierce, Lei Gang was in a hurry but couldn't come up with a way.

Under the key blows of the devils, the gunfire was intermittent, and the machine gunners had already killed several in a row.

The ammunition of the grenadier was empty at this time, and the grenades seemed to have turned into fireworks, under the control of the two knife shooters, but in addition to the effect of cheering, there were no casualties to the devil.

Lei Gang's heart was already retreating, but now there was no chance.

He understood that if he ordered a retreat at this time, it would most likely turn into a rout. The troops that you have worked so hard to pull up will disappear!

After thinking about it, Lei Gang decided to grit his teeth and hold on a little longer.

As the minutes ticked by, the sun was already at noon, and the battle was almost an hour away.

Qin Yuan was anxious, and more than half of the dozens of brothers under his command had already suffered casualties.

And the most important thing is that the brothers don't have many bullets in their hands, and some even have single digits left.

Qin Yuan felt that this battle was no longer able to be fought, and basically declared it a failure.

The devil reinforcements in the county town must already be on the way, and at the speed of the devil's march, it will arrive in another half an hour at most.

Gritting his teeth, Qin Yuan decided to use the code to contact Lei Gang to retreat.

At this moment, the devil on the highway changed.

About twenty or thirty devils, led by an officer holding a command knife, began to charge towards the cliff in the face of bullets.

This change confused Qin Yuan.

He couldn't figure out what the devil commander was thinking, so he actually brought his troops up to die.

Suppressing the idea of retreating for the time being, Qin Yuan hurriedly ordered the troops to concentrate their firepower to fight the charging devils.

One by one, the devils were hit by bullets, but the rest didn't seem to care about the lives of their companions, and still rushed up.

Just when Qin Yuan and the others were attracted by the charging devils, the remaining devils on the highway also acted.

A devil Shaozo pulled out the southern 14th pistol on his waist, and ran towards the back of the road with the remaining devils breaking through the fire blockade.

In the blink of an eye, only the wreckage of trucks was left on the highway and a raging fire.

Although Qin Yuan saw the movements of the devils on the road, he was powerless. All of his men were attracted by the charging devils, and they couldn't spare their hands to care about the fleeing devils.

The consequences of Lei Gang's lack of reserves before the war were undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Everyone thought that the devils on the highway had escaped, and the big guys were relieved and began to concentrate their firepower to eliminate the remaining little devils.

At this moment, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly came from behind Qin Yuan.

It turned out that those devils on the highway did not run away, but made a detour behind Qin Yuan.

On the devil's military map, it is clearly marked that there is a path behind the cliff.

And the devils on the highway relied on the cover of their companions to go around to this small road and copied Qin Yuan's back road.

Here, I have to admire the devil's investigation work is meticulous enough.

As early as 1878, after the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army, it began to collect geographical information about China. In the two years from 1921 to 1923 alone, the number of "1/100,000 maps of foreign countries" drawn by Japanese surveyors reached 919. By 1926, the surveying and mapping of the intended combat area had been basically completed.

It can be said that the devils have spent half a century preparing to fight this war, and we are defenseless against it.

Seeing that the devil had copied the back road, Qin Yuan hurriedly led his brothers to turn their heads and block it.

At this time, the devil had already rushed up in great strides.
