Chapter 9: All-out onslaught

Five minutes later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and it was Xiong Wei's cavalry company coming! As long as there is a war, Ji Jinbiao always takes the lead and plays the main force, Xiong Wei's troops are always reserves, and it is rarely their turn to fight the main attack.

Today is a great opportunity! Xiong Wei attached great importance to this attack. In order not to waste this opportunity, before the battle began, Xiong Wei carried out a careful division of labor among his subordinates. Who is the main attacker, who covers, and who supports, the task is assigned to each platoon commander.

As soon as Ji Jinbiao's side withdrew, Xiong Wei began to stare at the pocket watch and count the seconds. Five minutes, he only gave the devil five minutes of respite! If you don't give the enemy time to breathe, you are bullying, and if you give it for a long time, you will connive at the enemy and derelict your duties, five minutes is just right!

When the time came, Xiong Wei gave an order and rushed forward first. Kankan entered the firing range, raised his hand and fired a shot in the direction of the devil, and the cavalry soldiers behind him raised their guns one after another to shoot, and the battlefield suddenly burst into gunfire! The panicked devils hurriedly fought back in concealment.

Battles come and go quickly. Xiong Wei took his cavalry company like a drill, rushed to the firing range, fired two shots per person and turned around and left! Never in love! Before the devils could find their senses, the attackers quickly withdrew from the battle again!

These two assaults of the cavalry company caused heavy losses to the Japanese, and the commander, Captain Jiro Suzuki, was unfortunately wounded. The Chinese finally withdrew, and while Yamada Shinbei breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly ordered half of the soldiers to remain on alert, and the other half to seize the time to count the personnel and equipment. After a battle, how many casualties were killed, he, the battlefield commander, didn't know in his heart.

Soon, the casualty figures were counted, the Japanese army lost 29 people, 19 seriously wounded, and 56 lightly wounded! In just twenty minutes after two attacks and one piece, half of the squadron was killed or wounded! Before Captain Yamada could be saddened, a new round of attacks came!

By the end of the fourth round of attacks, Yamada Shinbei had a casualty figure of one squadron that had all the men wounded and half of the squadron killed!

Repair fortifications, defend on the spot! Captain Yamada knew that his troops could no longer go forward like this. The Chinese cavalry raided round after round, and the remnants of these two squadrons of the Japanese army could no longer withstand several such attacks! The devil, who has always liked to defeat his opponent in the field, was forced to go on the defensive helplessly.

However, it's not a good place to defend. There are no fortified cities, no reinforced concrete turrets, only dense forests, huge rocks, strange canyons, and exotic lands. The devils want to build temporary fortifications in this strange mountain forest, will their enemies give them this time?

The answer, of course, is no. From the first cavalry attack, Ji Jinbiao and Xiong Wei seemed to have made an appointment, each attack lasted ten minutes, with an interval of five minutes in between. The two troops were as punctual as the Swiss clock, coming and leaving on time, not to mention being absent, not even arriving late and leaving early.

Ji Jinbiao and Xiong Wei's cavalry troops were like two whips, and the devil in them was like a spinning top being whipped by the two whips, and he couldn't stop if he wanted to.

Jiro Suzuki was shattered in the shoulder blade by a bullet, and although it was not a fatal injury, it also affected his actions. Captain Suzuki can only half-lie down and half-sit on a stretcher now, let alone get up to direct the battle, even if he wants to sit up straight, he can't do it, and he grins in pain when he moves slightly. The taste of broken bones and tendons is the first time he has experienced it today.

Without Captain Suzuki on the side, Captain Yamada commanded exactly as he wished. Well-trained devils don't need to teach them how to dig trenches or how to set up machine guns, and the devil soldiers can do these things on their own. However, it is up to the commander to arrange who will repair the fortifications and who will guard against the attacks of the Chinese cavalry.

Captain Yamada brought together all the lightly wounded, good marksmanship, and emaciated soldiers to form a blocking detachment; Put the guys who are strong and look more stocky into the engineering detachments that repair fortifications and dig trenches.

If this were to be commanded by Captain Suzuki, it would definitely be necessary to let the unwounded person take on the task of blocking the enemy, and let the physically challenged to dig the trenches, which is the difference in the personalities of the two. Yamada Shinbei is steady, Suzuki Jiro is aggressive, and it is impossible to say which is better and which is worse.

Jiro Suzuki, who was on the stretcher, snorted angrily, and he wanted to dispute Captain Yamada's command style, but no one around him paid any attention to him. The devils are busy repairing fortifications and fighting blockers, and they are busy performing their duties, who has the time to deal with him, a disabled person who says whether it is serious or not?

The devils have arranged for half of the men to dig fortifications, and half of the remaining people who are fighting are still lightly wounded, so the firepower will naturally be weakened. Ji Jinbiao and Xiong Wei, who were on the attack mission, felt it most clearly, and the firepower of the devil's resistance was weak! Intensify your attacks!

The two commanders discussed, come on, let's not take turns. Just one side per person, let's get the devil from both sides! Two cavalry companies attacked the devils from the left and right at the same time!

One cavalry company is enough for the devil, and now that both sides are attacking at the same time, Yamada Shinbei immediately feels overstretched. The attack intensity of the cavalry brigade was doubled, and the Japanese army on the defense was more than doubled.

Ten minutes into the attack, more than half of the devil's lightly wounded were killed. The attack of our army has become sharper! Hu Fei judged that the devil had reached the end of his rope, and immediately ordered Yang Jinsheng and Gou Tianxiao to lead their troops to join the battlefield again!

Although the casualties of these two people's troops in the early battle were relatively large, especially the casualty ratio of Gou Tianxiao's first company exceeded sixty percent! Yang Jinsheng's third company also suffered 30 percent casualties. However, with the addition of these two troops on the battlefield, the time of the destruction of the besieged Japanese army was greatly advanced!

Soon, Yamada Shinbei discovered that the few men he had sent to block the attack could not stop the Chinese army's assault at all. Only ten minutes have passed, and most of the nearly 100 Japanese officers and soldiers who participated in the defensive battle have already been killed!

Note that this is not about casualties but about casualties. The devils who are cornered are like beasts that have fallen into a trap, and they will not take the initiative to give up resistance at all except death.

There was a roar of engines in the sky, and the devil plane was coming. The devil in a desperate situation was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound of the plane, and then immediately let out a burst of cheers, a bit like the situation where a person who was about to drown suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw.

However, the planes that came back this time were only two reconnaissance planes! The devil's reconnaissance plane shook its wings and circled around the battlefield. The Devil Pilot had apparently seen the battle below, and he wanted to guide the friendly forces on the ground to an escape route.
