"The Fifth Brigade of the Devils has been heavily damaged by General Li and our troops tonight, but the troops they broke through were divided into two groups. The pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info commander-in-chief means: Brigade Commander Li's troops are behind our army, and they can be responsible for annihilating the second batch of Japanese troops that broke through, and the Allied Army's large forces surrounded and annihilated the first batch of troops that broke through the devil, I don't know what Brigade Commander Li wants. ”

Wang Da said to Li Han with an unnatural expression, obviously he also knew that the commander-in-chief would inevitably be suspected of stealing merit by doing this.

"Absolutely! No problem! ”

Li Han nodded and returned.

Wang Da didn't expect Li Han to agree so happily, he thought that Li Han would be furious, in his opinion, at this time, no one would be willing to give up his military exploits to others.

Worried that Li Han would be annoyed and angry, Wang Da was even ready to be beaten, but he didn't expect this trip to be so smooth. After receiving Li Han's answer, he was infinitely happy in his heart, took a step from Li Han to the radio, and immediately began to send a report to Deng Wen in a hurry.

"Brigade seat, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the brigade commander of the devil must be in the first batch of Japanese troops to break through, but this commander-in-chief Deng asked us to pursue the second batch of devil troops, this is not a clear attempt to rob us of our credit."

After Gao Jian waited for Wang Da to leave, he said to Li Han. Although he doesn't really care about which little devil he fights, he is not willing to be calculated like this.

"The losses of the Allied forces are so big, it is understandable that they want to take the lead, not to mention that there are more than 2,000 devils who broke through, and after dawn, there will be devils' planes to help in the war, and the Allied forces want to eat these thousands of devils, I'm afraid the casualties will not be small.

Isn't there still a group of devils, let's eliminate the second batch of devils who broke through first, and then look at the form on the battlefield. ”

Li Han smiled, and then said to Gao Jian.

He understood Deng Wen's thoughts very well, the Allied army paid so many casualties, and finally survived until there were only 2,000 people left in the Fifth Brigade of the Devils, and the artillery was also lost.

At this time, of course, he would not be willing to give up the credit for killing the devil's major general to himself.

Since people feel that they don't need themselves, Li Han doesn't force it, whether it is a general or a soldier, as long as he is a devil, he is not fighting.

Besides, Wang Da also said just now that although the second batch of devil breakout troops is not as large as the first batch, it is close to 1,000 people, and eliminating these devils is also a great feat.

Mitsuo Nakazawa was with two wing commanders and the remnants of the Fifth Brigade, running desperately in front, but their escape did not go well.

Behind the devils, the two cavalry divisions of the Fifth Route Army continued to launch attacks against them. Although it didn't cause many casualties to the devils, it slowed down their retreat.

Moreover, behind the cavalry division, there was a large number of infantry marching in a hurry, and it was estimated that they would not have to wait until dawn to catch up with the Japanese troops in front.

On the other hand, Yokota Nakasa finally failed to escape back to Rehe with the artillery, although they dedicated thirty cannons to Li Han, but Li Han would not let them go because of this, these days, thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians died under the devil's cannon, how could he let this executioner go.

"Li Yong, your reconnaissance battalion is the fastest and the most well-informed, this time I will hand over the task of cutting off the back road of the little devil to your battalion."

Don't look at Yokota Nakasa's soldiers are all artillerymen, but the speed of their escape is not inferior to that of the infantry at all, and the threat of death also makes them burst out with unimaginable potential, relying on infantry alone, it is really not easy to catch up with them for a while.

Li Han was also worried that after dawn, Japanese planes would come to help in the battle, and then there would be some unnecessary casualties.

"Please rest assured, the reconnaissance battalion is guaranteed to complete the mission!"

After Li Yong received Li Han's order, he immediately led more than 800 people in the battalion, riding in more than 40 cars, and chased after the devil all the way.

One was running on two feet, and the other was chasing on four wheels, and the reconnaissance battalion soon discovered Yokota Nakasa's breakout force.

Li Yong didn't care how many devils there were, after discovering the devils, he immediately ordered the whole battalion to press them up and get entangled with the devils.

"Quick! Block! Get off the bus in general! Give it to Lao Tzu! ”

Under the command of Li Yong, the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion got out of the car in an orderly manner and immediately began to attack the Japanese army, and the mortars and heavy machine guns of the machine gun company directly under them also opened fire quickly.

Yokota Nakasa looked at the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion who jumped out of the military vehicle in surprise, and it was difficult for him to understand how the Chinese army, which was in short supply of guns and ammunition, would have a detachment composed of cars.

Although they didn't understand, Yokota Nakasa understood that if they didn't repel this Chinese army, they wouldn't want to break out safely.

In order to save morale and to be able to get out of this place as soon as possible, Yokota Nakasa ordered his troops to launch an attack on the reconnaissance battalion.

"Kill, give!" "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

Countless devil soldiers responded to the call of Yokota Nakasa, shouted slogans loudly, and launched a fierce attack on the reconnaissance battalion with hideous faces.

Yokota Nakasa has never been afraid or afraid of fighting, and the reason why he chose to break through is not only because he will die if he stays, but also because he is unwilling to be abandoned like this, although he is not afraid of death, but he does not want to die.

The number of Chinese soldiers on the opposite side was not much different from his own soldiers, and Yokota Nakasa believed that with nearly 1,000 imperial warriors in his hands, he was fully capable of defeating this small force of the Chinese army.

On this point, Yokota's opinion, like that of the vast majority of devil officers, never doubted the combat effectiveness of the Imperial soldiers, even if he was leading artillery. Yokota is confident, Li Yong is more confident than him, his reconnaissance battalion is composed of elite soldiers of the whole brigade, and the weapons and equipment are no worse than those of the devil, not to mention that Li Han just asked him to resign The speed of the little devil's retreat, even if Li Han asked him to fight Yokota Nakasa, Li Yong would not blink an eye.

The commanders on both sides are full of confidence in their soldiers, and they naturally work extra hard to fight, and the devil is eager to defeat the opponent and escape.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion are trying to prevent the devil from escaping, with two diametrically opposed purposes, and the two teams enter a white-hot battle atmosphere as soon as they come into contact.

In order to break through our army's position as soon as possible, and at the same time to embolden the artillerymen, Yokota Nakasa put up a dense attack formation to attack and attack, and a mortar shell can kill a lot of devils.

However, Yokota Nakasa is now completely open-minded, and he doesn't care about the casualties of the soldiers at all, and he falls one after another, just like the ebb and flow of the tide.

In addition, in order to allow Yokota to effectively block the attack of our army after losing the artillery, Nakazawa Mitsuo equipped Yokota's artillery with a lot of heavy machine guns and grenadiers.

These "heavy weapons," which had not been used in the artillery positions before, now fell on the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, and immediately caused heavy casualties to the reconnaissance.

Devils will play with their lives, of course Li Yong is not to be outdone, who doesn't have grenadiers, and in addition to grenadiers, he also has seven or eight mortars.

The reconnaissance battalion came by car, unlike the devils who were running away all the way, except for the grenadiers they brought and threw away all the artillery, and there were dozens of cars in the reconnaissance battalion, and it was not like having fun to stuff a few mortars into it.

"Fire!"

Under Li Yong's command, the sound of the machine gun company has never stopped, and the grenadier shooters of the other companies are also working hard to fire grenades at the devil.

Since neither the Chinese nor the Japanese had any preparations before the battle, they were now firing completely on the open field, and the speed at which the soldiers were killed was simply terrifying.

Whether it is a grenadier or a mortar, a shell can kill at least a few soldiers on the other side, and the tongues of fire sprayed by light and heavy machine guns mercilessly devour the lives of batches of soldiers.

In less than half an hour, Yokota Nakasa commanded the Japanese army to launch four or five charges like a reconnaissance battalion, and more than 500 devils were killed in the battle, and the corpses were densely lying in the center of the battlefield where the two armies were fighting.

Even so, the devil's attack still did not stop, whether it was Yokota Nakasa or ordinary soldiers, they knew that if they couldn't defeat the Chinese army in front of them, none of them would want to survive.

"Battalion commander, there are too many devils, the positions of each company have been occupied by devils in a small area, this group of devils is already crazy, and their commander is also crazy, and they fight without regard to the cost of casualties. We have the advantage now, there is no need to fight hard with the devil here, can we take a step back for the time being, and wait for the devil to vent this anger and then catch up and fight. ”

A staff officer suggested to Li Yong that he was not afraid of death, but that he felt that it was very incompatible with the devil here.

After all, victory is about to belong to them, and if at this time, the reconnaissance battalion has hit the devils hard, it will really be too worthless.

"I don't want to hear this kind of thing a second time, the brigade's order is to block the devil's retreat, unless all the reconnaissance battalion is killed today, the devil Hugh wants to take a step back. Pass my orders, immediately pull up all the reserves, and block the attack of the devils for me. ”

Li Yong ordered loudly.

The casualties of the reconnaissance battalion were not much smaller than those of the little devils, and under the desperate attack of the devils, the temporary defense line arranged by Li Yong was also crumbling.

Almost all of the companies fought a fierce white-knuckle battle with the devils. However, Li Yong still gritted his teeth and insisted on dragging the devil, not because he didn't care about the lives of the soldiers, but because he believed that his soldiers would not be worse than the devils. Since the Japanese devils were able to launch wave after wave of attacks without fear of casualties, why couldn't the reconnaissance battalion carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and swear to block the devils' attacks to the death?

He just wants to let the Japanese devils see clearly that Chinese soldiers are also not afraid of death and sacrifice.

Due to Li Yong's persistence, Yokota Nakasa was never able to take a step back even after paying a painful price. And the performance of the reconnaissance battalion also made Yokota Nakasa a little frightened, and it was really worse to encounter such a force that was not afraid of death when breaking through.

At the same time, the two regiments of the vanguard of the 145th Brigade also rushed to the battlefield, and the loud charge horn sounded behind the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, and the reinforcements of our brigade finally came.
