Chapter 40: The Devil Retreats

The trap has been dug and the mines have been laid, just waiting for the devil to jump in.

Traps that have been dug can of course no longer be used as trench bunkers. At the beginning, Gao Quan did not let the sappers dig trenches, and he was not prepared to hold on to the trenches here.

Gao Quan's head is that of a scout, full of all kinds of combat skills, and he has never intended to fight face-to-face with devils. His style of fighting was either to fight more and less, completely annihilating a small army of devils, or to continuously attack the enemy with various unconventional tactics. In this way, he used a few elite battalion-level troops to block a full formation of devils, even if it was for a short time, he had to give up directly.

Leading the soldiers to retreat to the left side of the road, and when the devils pass by, hit the devils from one side to see if they can drive the devils off the road, which is Gao Quan's first step to prepare. The artillery and baggage teams of the Devil's Wing must have good road conditions in order to advance normally. Now that there are too many traps dug in the middle of the road, and a considerable number of mines have been laid, it means that the road has been cut off, and if he fights from one side, the devils are very likely to get off the road and escape from the other side of the road.

The devils who get off the highway will not only be slower, but also their heavy artillery and transport convoys will become even more burdensome, and Gao Quan is the devil's idea of these heavy artillery and carts! The 500 divisions are poor, and when they encounter such a rich devil unit, it is not good for him to make a fortune, how can he be right for so many sacrificed comrades?

The Independent Brigade was originally detoured from the left side of the road, and it would take at least forty minutes to an hour to reach Gao Quan's location. Division Commander Gao ordered that the Independent Brigade immediately attack the devils on the highway nearby! At the same time, the troops of our army on both sides of the highway were ordered to launch a full-line attack on the devils, and the general offensive began!

Artillery was the first to strike. After receiving the order, Fan Berlin immediately ordered all our heavy artillery on both sides of the road to attack the devils at the same time! Originally, our army's artillery was still carrying out the operational principle of firing three artillery shots, so they shifted their positions, and although they were also constantly shelling at the devils, the degree of bombardment was not strong, and the devils still had a chance to counterattack from time to time.

The bombardment in this concentration was terrible, twelve heavy guns opened fire at the same time, and columns of smoke immediately rose on the road. Before the devil's artillery squadron could counterattack, a squad was blown out, and two Type 92 infantry guns were blown into the sky. Immediately after, shouts of killing sounded on the high ground on both sides almost at the same time, and bullets rained down on the devils on the road like dense raindrops!

Prior to this, the commander of the 18th Wing of the Japanese Army, Nobuyoshi Ito had a bad premonition and issued an order to retreat. The soldiers of the 18th Wing have completed the transformation of the whole army, and the front team has become the rear team, and the rear team has become the front team, and they are moving backwards. When the shouts of killing sounded on both sides, Ito Daisa looked at the mountains on the left and right, and while his heart was pounding, he was also secretly glad that he had seen the opportunity early, and if he only remembered to turn the troops now, I am afraid that if he wanted to run, it would be too late. Judging from the density of bullets fired from the mountains on both sides, the other side may have more than twice as many as his soldiers!

"The Ishihara Brigade is on the left, the Inaba Brigade is on the right, forward!" The wing has completed the turn, and retreat is, of course, advancing.

The devils let out two brigades and served as cover on both sides. The road was so wide, and the two brigades, which served as the cover of the two wings, naturally got off the road, that is, approached the high ground on both sides. These heights are the positions on which our troops are located. Originally, the fighters climbed the hill and condescendingly fired at the road. Although it's cool to play from top to bottom, it always feels a little far away, and the hit rate is not very high. Veterans with accurate marksmanship can say that recruits with poor marksmanship have a relatively low probability of hitting a devil. This is also the reason why the bullets of our army are like rain, and the casualties of the devils are not particularly large.

The devils divided two brigades on both sides, and after these two brigades got off the road, they were closer to our soldiers, which was equivalent to the devils taking the initiative to get close to let our soldiers fight. For the kindness of the devil, of course, our fighters accepted it all. In order to express our gratitude to the devils, and to carry forward the tradition of Chinese hospitality, our soldiers began to shoot more rapidly, increasing the frequency of shooting while ensuring that the quality of shooting does not deteriorate. didn't live up to the devil's kindness at all.

A brigade on each side of the team blocked the bullets for him, and Ito Osa led his troops forward quickly.

Gao Quan had already withdrawn to the left side of the road with his troops. The fighters of the cavalry battalion dismounted and sat on the ground to rest, while the horses gnawed on the turf on the side. Letting the horses relax before the battle is a must-do for the cavalry. Since the idea of pursuing behind the devils was played, the cavalry was fast and mobile, so of course it would come in handy.

Gao Quan's ambush is next to the trap dug on the road, and the location of the trap can be clearly seen from here. Lying on the hillside, binoculars in hand, looking ahead of the road. The faint gunfire has never stopped, Wang Dazhu and they have been fighting with devils, they will not let devils pass easily.

Someone touched his arm lightly, Gao Quan turned his head sideways, a kettle was handed over, and a plain white hand grabbed the body of the kettle, it was Huiqin. For this woman with a supple personality and a strong heart, but her fate is aggressive, Gao Quan will never refuse her kindness.

Unscrewed the lid of the pot, and a cool tea with a hint of sweetness poured into his throat, and Gao Quan couldn't help but take a few sips. After screwing the lid and handing the pot back, Huiqin showed a sweet smile. On the other side, someone also pulled his sleeve, and when he turned his head to look, it was Red Peony holding a piece of jerky in one hand, staring at him with his eyes, very tigerish.

Gao Quan suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, and took a woman to the battlefield, why is it so troublesome! This is a war, not a spring picnic! Seeing that the red peony seemed to have a tendency to change color, Gao Quan had no choice but to reach out and take the piece of jerky and stuff it into his mouth. Just in his mouth, he didn't dare to chew it twice casually and swallow it like this, who knows what will be under this mouthful.

The sound of gunfire and shouting became louder and louder, and the black dot at the end of the highway gradually became yellow and clearer, and the figures of the devils could already be seen clearly.

"Prepare for battle." Gao Quan shouted, "Wow! "Suddenly, I pulled the bolt on the 38 big cover in my hand. Red Peony on the right side of his body pulled out two box cannons at the same time and began to check the magazine. Gao Quan didn't even see the red peony for the first time, but now that he saw this scene again, he was still a little panicked in his heart. This woman's violent tendencies seem to be impossible to change for her in this life!

The devils got closer and closer, and they saw more and more clearly, and the gunshots behind them became louder. The panicked devils ran and looked behind them, as if they were chasing a big tiger behind their buttocks, but they turned a blind eye to the danger in front of them.
