Chapter 273: The Cavalry Platoon Asks for Battle

The three puppet army majors held binoculars and looked ahead, they had always followed behind the troops of the Independent Regiment, but they did not dare to get too close, and always kept a certain distance from the Independent Regiment.

Seeing that the independent regiment in front of him had disappeared, the eyes of the three majors looked towards Pomegranate Mountain at the same time.

"Fence off Pomegranate Mountain for me first, these Eighth Route Army must have run to the mountain." One of the majors immediately gave the order.

More than 1,000 puppet troops quickly surrounded Pomegranate Mountain, and they did not dare to attack, but just lay down near the bottom of the mountain, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

The three majors gathered, and they hurriedly ordered the signal corps to send a telegram to the Japanese troops to report the situation here.

An infantry artillery company directly under the Fifth Regiment of the Pacification Army also began to engage in combat, and four Type 92 infantry guns continued to fire grenade shots at Pomegranate Mountain.

Probably to boost the morale of his troops, the light and heavy machine guns of the puppet army also began to fire.

They had not yet spotted the troops on the hill, but they began to fire fiercely, and the bullets were fired indiscriminately at the hill as if they didn't want money.

Sun Weiguo, who was hidden in the village near Pomegranate Mountain, held a telescope to check the situation, and when he saw the puppet army shooting indiscriminately, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Although their weapons are excellent, but the troops are all adapted from bandits, their combat effectiveness is not very strong, but after all, they occupy the advantage of weapons and numbers, if they fight with them, it is very likely to attract the Japanese army."

Sun Ziyuan, the commander of the first battalion, stood beside Sun Weiguo, and he said softly.

Sun Weiguo glanced at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the troops were a little tired at this time.

They marched for a long time, had little time to rest, and there were occasional battles, and the officers and men were very tired.

Now, if the officers and men are allowed to rest well, I am afraid that they will have to sleep for a day and a night.

"Yin Jinshan, there are still two tanks and three armored vehicles left in the armored company, do you dare to be a pioneer!"

Sun Weiguo put down the binoculars, he looked towards Yin Jinshan, and asked in a serious tone.

"Dare." Yin Jinshan did not hesitate at all, he replied directly and loudly.

"Report, deputy regimental commander, cavalry platoon for battle." As soon as Yin Jinshan's words fell, Ge Haifeng walked quickly to Sun Weiguo, and he said in a calm tone.

There are still more than forty people in the cavalry platoon, most of these forty people are slightly wounded, they are the seeds of the cavalry of the independent regiment.

Hearing Ge Haifeng's words, Sun Weiguo's first thought in his heart was to refuse, he didn't want to fight up the last cavalry seeds.

But when he looked at Ge Haifeng, Sun Weiguo's words of refusal came to his lips, but he didn't say it.

The expression on Ge Haifeng's face was very calm, but there was a firm will in his eyes.

The cavalry battalion has grown from a cavalry force of more than 400 people to more than 100 people now, and this 100-strong person has been divided into two parts.

Ge Haifeng is a traditional cavalryman, he has a special affection for the cavalry, even if there are only more than forty cavalry now, Ge Haifeng still wants to participate in the battle.

Not only Ge Haifeng, but also Huang Gang and Huang Guohua, who were demoted from platoon commander to squad leader, looked at Sun Weiguo from a distance, with expectant expressions in their eyes.

"The cavalry platoon moves with the armored company and responds to the actions of the armored company." Sun Weiguo agreed.

"Report, deputy regimental commander, artillery squad for battle."

"Report, deputy regiment commander, anti-tank gun squad for battle."

Li Jiaxin, Zheng Jingjing, Chen Haojie and other artillery officers came to Sun Weiguo one after another, they carried rifles on their backs, and said with solemn expressions.

These are the seeds of the artillery of the independent regiment, although there is no related artillery, but Sun Weiguo still gave them the name of artillery.

Not far away, Qin Xianliang, the company commander of the first company of the first battalion, looked at the scene in front of him blankly, and he was silent for a long time.

Qin Xianliang was the company commander of Sun Ziyuan's first battalion, he had followed Sun Ziyuan to participate in the battle against the Japanese army, and was later coerced to become a puppet army.

This time he followed Sun Ziyuan's uprising to participate in the troops of the Independent Regiment, Qin Xianliang was enthusiastic, and he wanted to perform well on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.

The actions of Ge Haifeng and other officers deeply shocked Qin Xianliang, and at the same time, he secretly swore in his heart that he must play a glorious battle against the puppet army this time.

The troops of the separate regiment were deployed, with two tanks and three armored vehicles of the armored company as the main attack, a cavalry platoon on the side to plan the attack, and the first company of the first battalion following the action.

The troops were under the unified command of Yin Jinshan, and the second and third companies of the first battalion were flanking from both sides, and these two companies were commanded by Sun Ziyuan.

The artillery squad and anti-tank artillery platoon followed Sun Ziyuan to act together, which was regarded as Sun Weiguo's special protection for them.

Artillery is a very precious talent, and Sun Weiguo will not use them as infantry.

Liu Jingnuma's guard company served as a reserve, Shen Wei and Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong commanded in a unified manner, and Sun Weiguo followed the armored forces to act.

When Sun Weiguo saw the puppet army using machine guns indiscriminately, Sun Weiguo wanted to eat this puppet army in his heart, and he was sure to command the troops to eat this puppet army, but the goal of this operation was to defeat this puppet army, and Sun Weiguo could not waste time with them.

If the Japanese troops were reinforced, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The roar of the tank sounded, and a Type 89 tank with a Type 95 tank began to move.

Both tanks had run out of shells, and now they were able to use only tank machine guns.

Three Type 91 armored vehicles followed, and the armored company quickly rushed towards the puppet army.

The roar of the tanks was very loud, and the soldiers of the puppet army looked at each other, and there were puzzled expressions on their faces.

When the tanks were three hundred meters away from them, these puppet soldiers could vaguely see these steel monsters with the help of the firelight.

If the infantry artillery company of the puppet army quickly turned its guns and shelled the tanks and armored vehicles at this time, then the movement of the armored company would definitely be blocked.

But the puppet artillerymen did not move the muzzle at all, they just looked at these tanks and armored vehicles with curiosity.

"The machine gun is strafing the pomegranate mountain, be careful not to hurt your own people."

Sun Weiguo, who was in a Type 91 armored car, immediately gave the order, and at the same time he controlled a machine gun and began to fire.

A barrage of bullets shot towards the Pomegranate Mountain, all of which hit the bottom of the Pomegranate Mountain, which did not cause any damage to the second battalion on the mountain.

The other two light machine guns in the armored car also fired according to Sun Weiguo's order, and the same bullets were fired towards Pomegranate Mountain.
