The large army of devils on the road is the Nagase detachment of the 10th Division, which is equivalent to a unit at the brigade level. The first small loss suffered by the Nagase detachment on the battlefield in Xuzhou was inadvertently caused to them by the independent regiment led by Gao Quan.

The reconnaissance company already knows the number of the devil, Gao Quan's independent regiment wants to march further east, and the devil's army is on his marching route, so it is better to get some cheap behind the devil's ass.

On the edge of a small forest a kilometer away from the road, Gao Quan made his pre-war mobilization, "Brothers, the devil is on the road over there, and we are here to fight the devil!" Now I declare that from now on, our army will no longer be a government army, and from now on, we will start to work on our own! ”

"Wow!" There was a commotion below, some applauded, some applauded, Gao Quan's words were obviously right for these heroes.

"Great boss, do what you say, the brothers will listen to you! If anyone is not convinced, I will be the first to pinch and burst his eggs! As soon as he was excited, he shouted out all the big bosses.

"All of us in the Flying Dragon Village listen to the orders of the scoop handle!"

"Mawangzhai is willing to follow the big boss!"

Well, in the blink of an eye, the Independent Regiment has become a bandit cottage complex. Gao Quan was successfully appointed as the chief scoop and the big boss. This is also his helpless move, the current independent regiment personnel are too miscellaneous, following the devil to shoot black guns, although the danger factor is not too large, but it is not 100% insurance. In case the devil sends troops to fight back, or if he accidentally falls into an ambush by the devil, it is inevitable that someone will be captured by the devil. If the devils know that there is a squadron of the regiment following them and trying to exploit loopholes, it will be very detrimental to the future actions of the independent regiment. And if the devil thinks that it is just a group of bandits and grass bandits who are followed by it, it is likely that they will not pay much attention to it, which can greatly reduce the danger factor of the independent regiment.

The fierce response of the heroes also proves that Gao Quan's choice is correct. As for Wang Dazhu, Qian Sixi and other ** officers, now their identities have degenerated into the second and third leaders, although they are puzzled, they have no objections. Because Gao Quan said that this army is here to fight devils, and even the devils are willing to give up their lives, so how can they care if they are bandits or government troops? Besides, with their understanding of Gao Quan over the years, they subconsciously knew that Gao Quan would not lead them to a crooked path. Since he can still trust Gao Quan, whatever he says, he just has to do it.

After completing the "pre-war mobilization" for the troops, Gao Quan selected all the people in the troops who had good marksmanship. Among these people, except for the few people who have been following him, they are the elites who came down from Luliang Mountain who joined later.

The sharpshooters form several sniper squads and elect several sniper team leaders. Surprisingly, Chang Zhankui of Mawangzhai was actually nominated by the heroes in the regiment as one of the best marksmanship, and the leader of the sniper team also had his share. The task of the sniper team is to eliminate the devils from time to time with cold guns and cold bullets from behind and on both sides of the large army of devils, so as to achieve the purpose of harassing the enemy and delaying the enemy. After a shot, you have to retreat, and this is a dead discipline.

Gao Quan originally wanted to be the leader of one of the sniper teams, but because of the unanimous opposition of all the other leaders, he failed to do so, so he had to stay in control of the troops and arrange the cooperation between the sniper teams.

The Isoya Division Commander Detachment of the Japanese Army started from this small high ground, and it was no longer lonely on the march in the future. The cold guns that rang out from time to time often made the soldiers who were honestly walking suddenly fall to the ground. Originally, the commander of the Nagase Brigade did not intend to delay his work for this little thing, his brigade had his strategic goal, he was going to cross the canal, march to Jiaxiang, and then join the Seya detachment on the other road in Xuzhou, if it was because of this trivial matter, and the attack time was delayed, and the meeting between him and the Segu detachment was delayed, then it would be a big deal.

However, when a cold bullet knocked out the head of one of the deputy wing commanders in charge of the detachment, General Nagase finally couldn't control the anger in his heart anymore, "Order, the Kumamoto Brigade of the Nagano Wing immediately launch a search attack on the enemies who are sneaking up on our army around them!" The troops were ordered to speed up the march, and the soldiers distanced themselves from each other. ”

"Smack!" A bullet flying from diagonal behind grazed General Nagase's face and gave him a free ear hole! If it weren't for the fact that when the order was issued just now, in order to express the anger in his heart, the captain of the Nagase detachment turned his head, and this shot should have hit the bridge of his nose right in the middle.

"Yaga!" Major General Nagase covered his ears with his hand, and the monstrous anger filled his chest at once, "The whole army stops advancing!" Search both sides of the road and behind now! ”

A large force of the Japanese army came down from the road, and Gao Quan quickly led the troops to retreat. The sniper teams immediately dispersed and evacuated. However, since the leader of the Nagase detachment has made up his mind to avenge his ears, it is a bit difficult for the people of the independent regiment to withdraw safely. Not only did the Nagase detachment have infantry and chariots, but they also had a cavalry brigade, and the cavalry wanted to pursue the retreating infantry in the wilderness, and the infantry had almost no room to escape.

Fortunately, although these soldiers in the Gaoquan army have not been in the army for a long time, they do not know much about military regulations and military discipline, and their escape skills are much stronger than those of ordinary troops. The chariot and artillery units in the Devil's Brigade will not participate in the pursuit of the enemy, not only will these units not participate in the pursuit, but also leave a large number of infantry units to protect, and it is the infantry of a wing and the cavalry brigade that really carry out the pursuit. The men and horses of the independent regiment evacuated in separate ways, and the devils also pursued them in separate ways.

The main force of the independent regiment led by Gao Quan was far away from the road, and as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, he withdrew in advance, no matter how fast the devil's cavalry ran, it was impossible to break away from the brigade too far, and the main force of the independent regiment was safely withdrawn to a safe place.

Although the sniper team is proficient in various escape techniques, after all, the gap between the strength and the pursuing devils is too big, and the devils are chased by the strict orders of the detachment leader, and the sniper teams have suffered losses of varying sizes on the way out. There was a squad that was blocked into a small forest by the devil cavalry, and the team members were also stubborn, relying on the cover of trees, hiding in the woods and shooting at the devils. Their accurate marksmanship caused the devil cavalry to lose some manpower as they tried to surround the woods.

These enemies who had been encircled were still stubbornly resisting, and continued to inflict casualties on their own side, and the devil cavalry Shaozo was greatly dissatisfied, and ordered the infantry to follow into the woods and be sure to capture the enemy alive in the forest.

For the order of His Excellency Kumamoto, the noble cavalry commander, although the infantry squadron leader was angry, he did not dare not disobey. More than 200 devils squeezed into the woods from all sides, and at the cost of more than a dozen people, they finally caught the two snipers in the middle of the forest, who had not completely lost their breath.
