The 22nd and 144th Divisions of the Japanese Army in the south, as well as the Jiangcheng Division, were pinned down by the temporary detachment of the Independent Division and the New Seventh Brigade, and were unable to provide great assistance to the 17th Division in the north.

At this time, Sakai Kang was the troops under his personal command, and the entire advance was also cautious, and no one knew what good moves Liu Tianshu had prepared in front, but fortunately, all tricks were not worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength.

As long as his forces are not scattered and the defense is tight, even if Liu Tianshu is capable, I am afraid that there is no way to fight.

Unless, Liu Tianshu's independent division is desperate with himself. If it is an upright and desperate effort, who is the 17th Division afraid of.

It's just that Sakai Kang thought of the troops who had to stay at Goldfish Ridge, and there were some dark clouds in his heart.

However, he thought that once the Nakagawa Wing at Goldfish Ridge was besieged by the large forces of the New Fourth Army, the troops in Jingyang in the north could go south to reinforce them, and the Eguchi Wing could also rush westward, plus the Takagi Wing and Sakai Wing under his personal command, it was enough to surround the main force of the New Fourth Army in Goldfish Ridge and annihilate it.

Therefore, the tactics that Sakai is adopting now is to fight steadily and steadily, and maintain the size of the joint army of several routes, depending on how much appetite you Liu Tianshu has.

Just when Sakai thought he had timed, more than 1,000 Japanese troops and more than 500 puppet troops heading south in the direction of Jingyang were suddenly ambushed by a large force of the New Fourth Army when they passed through a mountain depression in the direction of Jinyuling.

After Xie Pingcai led his troops north, he had been paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army in Jingyang, and when he learned that the Japanese army in Jingyang was going to leave Jingyang County and go south in order to reinforce the Zhongchuan Wing in time, he immediately quietly arranged the 67th Regiment and the 69th Regiment around a depression called Lotus Pond.

The commander of the Japanese puppet army on this road south in the direction of Jingyang was Fujiki Daisa, and after he was ordered to lead his troops south, according to the predetermined plan, he rushed to Xiangjia Town north of Jinyuling to garrison, so as to reinforce Jinyuling at any time.

From Jingyang to Xiangjia Town, it was all under the control of the Imperial Army, and there were also some scattered strongholds along the way, and the plainclothes detective teams scattered around did not find any New Fourth Army infested, so Fujiki did not have much worry about leading his troops to Xiangjia Town to reinforce this time. In his opinion, the New Fourth Army is simply overwhelmed now, and where would it want to ambush itself.

In this way, the reinforcement force under his command was still three motorcycles in front of the road, then a battalion of puppet troops, then the Imperial Army and the baggage troops, and the last one was also a battalion of puppet troops, but the battalion that walked behind was full of less than three hundred troops.

All the way to show off his martial arts, in the eyes of those timid Chinese, Fujiki rode on his horse and looked at the lotus pond.

The troops searching in front did not go up to the hills on both sides to conduct careful reconnaissance, but conducted a fire reconnaissance with crooked machine guns, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, they sent a signal of safety to the rear and slowly advanced again.

Xie Pingcai stood in a temporary command post on the hill to the east, watched through the telescope as the Japanese army entered the ambush circle of the troops, and immediately took the microphone and shouted to open fire.

The mortar units deployed in the mountains and forests immediately launched artillery bombardment on the Japanese troops on the road, while the troops on both sides quickly cut off both ends of the road, blocking the retreat and advance of the devils.

As for the search motorcycles in front of the devils, they were directly knocked over by the soldiers of the special service company of the 22nd Brigade with guns at the first time.

The sound of shells whistling suddenly sounded in the sky, and then he heard airtight bullets shooting from the mountains on both sides, Fujiki jumped off his horse in shock, pushed the glasses pushed to the bridge of his nose and observed in horror for a while, and immediately shouted: "Quick, Hashimoto, you immediately command your squadron to break through to the north, and the second and third squadrons block the attack of the Chinese." We retreated. ”

It's a pity that the cannonballs that kept flying in the sky at this time directly blew up the teams on the highway into chaos, and many devils ran backwards desperately, and many were directly carried into the sky by the cannonballs.

The road of the lotus pond passes through the paddy field, and the paddy field at this time is full of green seedlings to the knee joint, and some devils are directly overturned from the road and rolled into the paddy field, like a chicken in the soup.

Fujiki wanted to cry when he saw his troops crowded on the road about a kilometer long, with no shelter on both sides, unable to carry out a counterattack at all, and could only let the shells of the New Fourth Army fall overhead.

Hashimoto finally gathered more than a hundred soldiers, turned around and ran north, but who knew that those puppet soldiers heard the cannonballs, all of them crashed like flies, and his team could not pass at all, and the bullets on both sides rained down, constantly reaping the lives of his soldiers.

After finally kicking the puppet army blocking the way directly into the paddy field, one of his squadrons was less than eighty people left.

Fujiki, who was squatting on the road with a command knife, saw that Hashimoto was about to rush to the north mountain pass with his people, and he couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly bent down and ran north under the protection of the soldiers.

It's a pity that he had just run less than 200 meters when he saw a group of New Fourth Army suddenly appear in front of him, bullets raining down, and at the same time, countless grenadiers fired fiercely at Hashimoto and others, burying Hashimoto and others in the smoke of gunpowder, and screams drifted everywhere in the mountain valley.

The 1st Battalion of the 67th Regiment, which was responsible for blocking the northern pass, rushed to the road and immediately pressed south along the road, while at the same time, the 3rd Battalion of the 69th Regiment in the south also took control of the road and began to squeeze north along the road.

The two main battalions spread out along the road, and the troops on both sides of the road also approached the road, just because both sides of the road were full of rice fields, which was not suitable for the troops to charge, and the troops on both sides just rushed out of the rice fields and continued to shoot at the enemy on the road with the help of cover.

Fujiki saw his soldiers fall one by one, and his face suddenly turned to ashes, he didn't expect that the heroic Imperial soldiers would fall into such a Jedi situation, his troops were all crowded on the road, and they couldn't find cover at all. Counterattacked along the highway and was blocked again.

In particular, Fujiki's machine gun squadron always fired a few shots from each heavy machine gun, and the machine gunner was shot and fell, which made him feel a little strange at first, but later he realized that there were snipers in the attacking New Fourth Army, specializing in dealing with his own heavy machine guns.

As for their own infantry guns, they didn't fire a few shells at all, and the gunners fell in pieces.

Seeing that he was certain to lose, Fujiki gritted his teeth, took out a piece of white cloth and wrapped it around his head, and then took off his military uniform.

The devils around him, seeing that the captain had decided to serve the emperor, immediately felt their blood surge, took off their shirts one after another, wore white underwear, and then picked up the 38 big cover, and under the leadership of Fujiki, rushed towards the north desperately.

The commander of the first battalion of the 67th Regiment couldn't help but sneer when he saw that the devil seemed to want to play with his life, and ordered all the heavy machine guns in the battalion to be put on the road.

Since the devil wants to die, he has to send it for a ride.

Seeing this, the troops on both sides of the highway immediately fired desperately at the road, and the bullets flew like locusts, knocking down the Japanese troops on the outside one by one, and at the same time, the mortar grenadiers also bombarded the road violently, blowing up clouds of gunpowder smoke on the road, and sending the Japanese soldiers back to the East one by one.

However, these devils seemed to be possessed by demons at this time, and they did not know the pain at all, nor did they know the fear of death, but rushed north feverishly. After rushing for three minutes, Fujiki took seventy or eighty devils and sent them to the front of the first battalion position, and the commander of the first battalion saw the fanatical expression on the devil's face, and coldly shouted to fight, four heavy machine guns immediately spat tongues of fire towards the road, and four sickles with the breath of death were harvested back and forth on the road, beating these devils who came to China with their sins to the point of being covered in blood.

Countless devil soldiers fell on this charging road, the blood that flowed out stained the road red, and when Fujiki rushed to two hundred meters away from the position of the first battalion, his chest was swept by bullets, his back bone was pierced, and a bloody arrow spit out from his mouth, and he fell on the road with unwillingness.

The remaining devil soldiers around him, no one stopped to look at it, just rushed forward, until he was hit by a bullet and the pain was all over his body, and then he knew that the pain before death was so intense.

The gunfire gradually stopped, and Xie Ping saw that none of the enemies who came out of Jingyang had missed the net, so he nodded with satisfaction and ordered the 67th Regiment to stay and clean up the battlefield, and the 69th Regiment immediately moved south.

Anyway, even if the devil's reinforcements can come, it will be a few hours later, and the time to clean up the battlefield is enough, as for the devil's plane, even if it arrives at this time, it can only take pictures of the devil's body to keep a souvenir.

The fall of the Fujiki Brigade caused the shock of Yasushi Sakai and the Central China Command of the Japanese Army.

Especially Yasu Sakai, he didn't expect that the New Fourth Army would run to the north to ambush the Fujiki brigade, which made him tremble.

You must know that the Fujiki Brigade was surrounded and annihilated by the New Fourth Army, which meant that the retreat of the Nakagawa Wing was cut off. And judging by the current situation, there is simply no way to draw troops to the north of Goldfish Ridge.

What is even more serious is that less than two hours before dark, whether this group of New Fourth Army will launch an attack on the Zhongchuan Wing in Goldfish Ridge from the north is a question that no one can say.

Thinking that he was going to Liu Tianshu's base to find his main force for a decisive battle, who knows, before he entered Liu Tianshu's base, his troops ran to the defense area of the imperial army, who is this sweeping.

When the Japanese planes arrived, the 67th Regiment had completed the task of cleaning up the battlefield, and the Japanese troops commanded by Fujiki were all killed except for the twelve soldiers who were wounded and fainted, but unexpectedly, it was the puppet army that cooperated with the operation, only more than 50 people were killed, more than 30 people were injured, and the rest all obediently surrendered to the independent division.

It must be said that the puppet army's ability to save lives is indeed extraordinary. (To be continued.) )
