After dividing the tasks, the cavalry company began to charge, and the devils continued to carry out their stubborn resistance to the end, while looking for a suitable position to hide, while shooting at the soldiers of the cavalry company with rifles and light machine guns in their hands.

Cavalrymen were constantly knocked down by the Japanese army's superb marksmanship, but more cavalry did not hesitate to follow suit.

The cavalry company was only about 200 meters away from the devil's convoy, otherwise, it would not have been able to burst the tires of the devil's military vehicle with a rifle.

Attacking the enemy at a distance of 200 meters took only about ten seconds for the cavalry, and the devil with the rifle only had time to pull the trigger twice, and the soldiers of the cavalry company had already rushed to the devil.

There was no suspense in the next battle, and the cavalry cut off the devil's head from the neck one by one like chopping a watermelon.

The devils screamed and dodged everywhere, but the space was so big, where else could they hide.

If they were surrounded by infantry, some devils might have escaped with a solid foundation, but when they ran into cavalry, they would have been unlucky, and they had no choice but to launch a suicide attack.

After a short time, the more than 40 devils left behind fell under the swords and hooves of the cavalry one by one.

After eliminating this broken devil, Sun Dabiao looked into the distance again, and Yamashita Yoshio's convoy had already disappeared without a trace.

He knew that he couldn't catch up, so he didn't bother to chase it, and besides, another army of the devil was also nearby, in case the devil also gave him an ambush, the cavalry company couldn't afford this small body.

So Sun Dabiao and the cavalry company took the booty and went back to join the main army.

Li Han's side has also finished cleaning up the battlefield, killing more than 400 devils, and the seizures are quite rich, ranging from mortars to rifles, and even two armored vehicles with damaged tracks have been captured. As long as this thing is pulled back and someone can fix it, it will be able to use normally.

"It's a pity that the devil's machine gun squadron was blown up by itself, and all twelve heavy machine guns turned into a pile of broken copper and iron."

Li Han looked at the machine gun position in ruins and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. That's twelve heavy machine guns, if only I had them all! Not to mention anything else, it is worth at least tens of thousands of oceans if you take it out and sell it, and it is still the kind that has no price.

"Captain, be content! If we hadn't taken out the Japanese machine-gun positions, the Japanese army would not have been defeated by us so easily. ”

Gao Jian said to Li Han, who was not greedy enough, with a smile on his face, no matter what Li Han thought, anyway, Gao Jian felt that this battle was very happy, not only eliminated a large number of devils, but also did not suffer many casualties among his troops.

This has never happened before in the Volunteers, and often when a Japanese squad is eliminated, the Volunteers lose a battalion of troops, or even more.

That's why the volunteers will fight weaker and weaker, and the weaker they will fight, so that the vicious circle continues, and the Northeast Volunteers will be wiped out by the devils sooner or later.

Although many devils were annihilated in the First World War, Li Hanxin did not relax. According to intelligence, Yamashita Yoshio's 13th Infantry Brigade was strengthened, numbering more than 1,500 people.

After this battle, although two and a half squadrons of the four infantry squadrons under the direct jurisdiction of the 13th Brigade were wiped out, and one machine gun squadron was also completely annihilated.

However, the 13th Brigade also has a complete infantry squadron, an artillery squadron, a brigade headquarters and a transport squadron directly under the brigade, plus a mountain artillery squadron reinforced by his brother Seiichi Yamashita, and an infantry artillery squadron, all of which add up to nearly 800 people.

This is still a big threat to the anti-Japanese brigade, but compared to the 13th brigade that was full of personnel when it first set off, the situation is still much better now, at least the anti-Japanese brigade is not without hope of victory

Because a large number of infantry of the Japanese army was wiped out, the field combat ability of the devils was also greatly limited, although their artillery was strong enough, but the artillery and the transport squadron directly under it were generally not able to directly participate in the attack and combat like the infantry.

Moreover, when fighting, it is also necessary to send infantry to protect the safety of artillery, so that Yamashita Yoshio can use fewer troops.

Although the anti-Japanese brigade did not have artillery, it could fight flexibly, and their infantry was seven or eight times that of the devils, and they could attack the Japanese army in multiple directions at the same time.

Of course, the lack of artillery is also the biggest shortcoming of the anti-Japanese brigade, and it can be said that the two sides are evenly matched at present.

In fact, at this time, Yamashita Yoshio's best choice was to retreat to Chengde and replenish the infantry before coming to trouble Li Han.

However, the enemy is only a regiment-sized Chinese army, and if he withdraws his troops, he will definitely be ridiculed by his other colleagues, which will not only affect his brother's prestige in the army, but also his own future.

At the beginning, Yamashita Seiichi decided to let Yamashita Yoshio lead the troops to the battle, and the other two captains did not approve of it in their hearts, but in the end, Yamashita Seiichi still tried his best to override public opinion and chose to let Yamashita Yoshio win this opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

So no matter what, he also wants to defeat this Chinese army and recapture the county seat of Weichang. Although Yoshio Yamashita knew that the enemy's combat effectiveness was not weak.

However, he still believed in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Imperial Army, and decided to rely on the powerful firepower of the Imperial Army to defeat the enemy army, not to completely annihilate this army, but at least to defeat them and recover the county seat.

Yamashita Yoshio doesn't even plan to recover Fengning, and with his current strength, even if he recovers Fengning, he will definitely not be able to hold it. Rather than increase casualties, it is better to concentrate on taking the paddock with all its might.

Obviously, after a series of blows, Yoshio Yamashita also sobered up a lot, and finally was not as arrogant as when he first set off, knowing that not every Chinese army was so easy to deal with.

Yamashita Yoshio refused to withdraw his troops, of course Li Han couldn't let him break in on his own territory, everyone knows the virtue of the devil, this time, it's not like he will grab it wherever he goes, and he will have to pay for the economic losses caused by himself.

Li Han's logic is that the paddock has been recovered by himself, and that is his own territory. I have to say that he is now impure, and his thoughts are getting closer and closer to the warlords.

Since you can't let the devil go, you have to fight. Li Han quickly chose a relatively favorable place for himself, and ordered his troops to build fortifications on the spot, preparing to fight a positional battle with the devils. Soon, the position was filled with the sound of fighters digging into the soil.

"Build a communication trench there and a second-line position." Li Han stood on the position, pointed to a trench, and said to the company commander who was working on the ground.

"Yes! Captain! The company commander hurriedly saluted and replied.

"The trenches can be dug a little deeper, and remember, remember to set up anti-artillery holes at intervals, the devil's artillery is not jealous." Li Han looked in the trench and said.

"Captain, the devil's artillery has ten guns, if we fight the devil like this, I'm afraid it's not a way."

Just as Li Han was pointing out the country on the battlefield, Wang Dazhu interrupted his speech. As early as when he was luring the enemy, Wang Dazhu found that the devil's artillery had ten guns.

At that time, Wang Dazhu wanted to kill the devil's artillery, but unfortunately he never had a chance to start, and he still had a heavy responsibility at that time, so this matter was over.

Now that he was going to fight a positional battle with the devils, Wang Dazhu considered the huge threat that the devil's artillery would bring, and felt that it was necessary to suggest that Li Han pull out the devil's artillery.

In fact, Wang Dazhu didn't need to say that Li Han wanted to destroy the devil's artillery more than him.

The key is that Yoshio Yamashita has already suffered several losses, and if he wants to work the sneak attack, this difficulty is not ordinary, and it is too late in time.

No, when Li Han was still scratching his ears and thinking hard about how to destroy the devil's artillery position, the Japanese artillery had already taken the lead in attacking.

"Boom ......"

The Japanese artillery shells fell on the positions of the anti-Japanese brigade one after another, and the thick sound of artillery smashed on the positions like bursts of thunder, blowing up the positions built by the soldiers into flames.

The incessant shelling of six infantry guns and four mountain guns caused great psychological pressure on the fighters of the anti-Japanese brigade, and at the same time, the Japanese infantry began to charge under the cover of artillery fire.

Yamashita Yoshio armed all the soldiers in the brigade who could move, and even the soldiers of the cooking squad who were responsible for burying pots and cooking rice received a 38 big cover.

On the artillery side, all but a few dozen gunners stayed behind to open fire.

From now on, the task of protecting the artillery will be the responsibility of all the handymen in the two artillery squadrons and the artillery squads directly under the brigade.

Two artillery squadrons and one artillery squad combined were nearly 400 men, and in addition to the dozens of gunners and the corresponding personnel who carried the shells, 300 people were able to join the combat unit.

Although artillery is not good at field warfare, it can be regarded as a combat unit in any way, and it is also a soldier who has undergone military training, and can still fight with a gun. Therefore, Yamashita Yoshio was relieved to let the artillerymen protect their own safety.

Looking at the thick smoke and dust rising from the position on the opposite side, the fierce artillery fire seemed to be able to flatten even the mountain, not to mention the flesh and blood of the Chinese army. This scene in front of him made Yoshio Yamashita regain the confidence he had when he went on the expedition.

He even regretted his impulsive behavior at the beginning, and he should not have fallen for the tricks of the Chinese, but should have let the people of Zhina taste the power of the cannon at the beginning.

"Your Excellency Captain, such a fierce artillery fire is enough to make the rats on the Zhina position die several times, I believe we will definitely be able to defeat the Zhina army this time and recover the county seat."

A Japanese staff officer said to Yoshio Yamashita, who was engrossed in the battlefield.

Yoshio Yamashita was looking at the positions of our army that were being bombarded by artillery fire with relish, and after hearing the words of the staff officer, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was the first smile he had since he set out for the battle.
