Chapter 60: The puppet army is scared

The flares fell, and the ground was dark again, but the corpses and horses in front of the trenches were proof that a fierce battle had just taken place here.

The warriors, who had taken refuge in the trenches, immediately stood on small chairs, aimed their rifles in front of them, and waited for the cavalry to charge again.

"Comrades, try to aim at the cavalry, leave the war horses behind, and our county brigade will also get a cavalry squadron out." Sun Weiguo shouted.

Several tall warriors quickly crossed the trench, and the four dragged a dead horse back into the trench.

"Squadron leader, the little devils and traitors don't let us sleep peacefully, this war horse will make up for our bodies." A squad leader said with a smile.

Sun Weiguo nodded, and he asked the soldiers to send the dead horses to the back and hand them over to the militia to deal with.

The platoon commanders began to count the results, and the retreating puppet cavalry did not dare to rashly launch an attack.

Shen Wei in the trench widened her eyes, and before the battle began, she was even ready to command the troops to retreat.

She felt that it was impossible for Sun Weiguo to repel the puppet cavalry, but the current result shocked her.

Sun Weiguo not only commanded the county brigade, which was absolutely inferior in numbers, to repel the puppet cavalry, but also brought a lot of casualties to the puppet cavalry.

According to Shen Wei's conservative estimate, the puppet cavalry paid the price of at least 200 casualties.

"Squadron leader, the casualties of the puppet cavalry have been counted, the four platoons have killed an average of more than sixty puppet cavalry, and the puppet cavalry has suffered at least three hundred casualties."

Liu Xi, the commander of the second platoon of the first squadron, ran quickly in front of Sun Weiguo, and he told the counted casualties of the puppet army.

Sun Weiguo nodded with satisfaction, he glanced at the time and asked about the casualties of the county brigade.

"There were no casualties, but while dodging the trenches, a few recruits were so anxious that they fell from small chairs." Liu Xi immediately replied.

Hearing that the county brigade did not have any casualties, but brought more than 300 casualties to the puppet army cavalry, Shen Wei opened her mouth, her eyes widened, and she looked at Sun Weiguo in front of her in disbelief.

This result was expected by Sun Weiguo, the puppet cavalry all rushed over wielding swords, and they would not bring casualties to the county brigade at all.

This is mainly due to the fact that the puppet cavalry is too light on the enemy, and if they shoot on their horses, they will definitely bring casualties to the county brigade.

But they looked down on the county brigade and thought that the county brigade would not be prepared, so they suffered such a big loss.

There were only more than 500 cavalry who followed Zhang Jiannan to retreat safely, and even if he was a full 1,000 meters away from the trenches, Zhang Jiannan still felt unsafe.

He retreated another five hundred meters before he reined in the reins of his horse and stopped.

"What the hell is going on, are we attacking the Dirt Eight Road? The firepower of Tubalu is simply stronger than their regular troops, this little devil didn't tell us anything, damn it, fortunately Lao Tzu retreated in time, otherwise even Lao Tzu would have been killed. Zhang Jiannan got down from the war horse, he hid in a safe place, and scolded.

The rest of the cavalry were scattered around, but they did not have the courage to continue the charge.

Several officers came to Zhang Jiannan's side and complained one after another.

The battle just now almost cost them their lives.

The officers complained that the Japanese did not tell them about the firepower of the county brigade, and at the same time they also encouraged Zhang Jiannan not to work hard in the future.

After a battle, the cavalry of the puppet army was frightened by the county brigade, and they were worried that their troops would be consumed here.

Zhang Jiannan didn't dare to continue the attack, he let the remaining cavalry hide everywhere and no longer fight with the county brigade.

Sun Weiguo waited in the trench for a while, and saw that the puppet cavalry had not attacked again for a long time, and he knew that the puppet cavalry must have been scared.

"Comrade Weiguo, your command is indeed very powerful, I have to admit this." Shen Wei came to Sun Weiguo and said with admiration.

In the face of Shen Wei's praise, Sun Weiguo waved his hand modestly and didn't say much.

There was silence all around, as if the fierce battle had not happened.

The puppet cavalry did not continue the attack, and the warriors began to get busy.

They brought back the slain horses and handed them over to the militia to deal with.

The weapons and ammunition, as well as the living horses, were also captured, and each of the warriors had excited expressions on their faces.

This was the first time that the county brigade fought against the Japanese puppet army after the reorganization, but they won a battle.

"It's past four o'clock, give the order to go down, don't leave the trenches, the little devil should be almost there. The combat effectiveness of these little devils is more powerful than that of the puppet army cavalry, so don't be careless. Each platoon commander and squad leader inspected the situation of their positions, and all the fighters had to check their weapons and ammunition. Sun Weiguo glanced at his watch again, and he immediately began to give orders.

The platoon commander and squad leader in the trenches began to get busy, and they checked the situation of the positions they were responsible for.

The soldiers checked their weapons and ammunition while they carried their captured rifles and ammunition behind their backs.

Shen Wei stood quietly aside, she did not interfere with Sun Weiguo's command.

After the previous battle, Shen Wei had completely believed in Sun Weiguo's command ability, and she felt that Sun Weiguo would definitely be an excellent commander.

In the position of the third row, Fan Shuming was squatting in the trench, his body was still trembling slightly.

He had never been on the battlefield, just watched hundreds of war horses rushing over together, Fan Shuming didn't even shoot, he just sat down in the trench.

Several veterans yelled at him, but Fan Shuming still didn't have the courage to stand up.

Seeing Fan Shuming's frightened face, no one paid attention to him.

Chen Yang, the leader of the third platoon, had already checked the position, and after glancing at Fan Shuming, he frowned.

"Send him to the back." Chen Yang gave the order.

"No...... Don't touch me, you are Sun Weiguo's people, you definitely want to kill me. Fan Shuming said excitedly.

The two fighters were pushed away by him, Chen Yang had a displeased expression on his face, he waved his hand, and didn't pay attention to Fan Shuming.

Artillery began to sound in front of the trench, and when Sun Weiguo heard the cannonball, he immediately shouted: "Enter the defensive artillery hole!" ”

With a "boom", as soon as Sun Weiguo's words were finished, two shells exploded in front of the trench.

The soldiers immediately hid in the anti-artillery hole, and before Shen Wei could understand what was going on, Sun Weiguo pushed her to the anti-artillery hole.

The soil fell into the trench, Sun Weiguo was hit by the soil, and his body fell directly down, and he pressed Shen Wei under him.

"Boom!" Immediately after that, two more shells hit, which exploded directly behind the trenches.

Shen Wei was pressed by Sun Weiguo, with a shy and angry expression on her face, she struggled, but Sun Weiguo did not get up.
