Chapter 386: The devil retreats

As soon as Liu Tianshu and his troops withdrew to a place five miles away from Jinlang Bay, the reconnaissance company sent information that Sen Mu and his troops had arrived at Jinlang Bay. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After listening to the reconnaissance company's report, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but pout. It seems that this captain of Senmu is nothing more than that, not only was Ma Jiaji killed by himself, but also ate his army of the South Road. And he, regardless of the Chitian squadron in the north, heard that the Yokono squadron was attacked, and immediately rushed to relieve the siege with his troops.

It's just that you want to eat a squadron of devils, do you need to go through a lot of trouble?

However, thinking that after some continuous combat in the troops, although the morale was high, the soldiers were indeed very tired, Liu Tianshu thought about it and felt that it was better to withdraw to Sujiatang first to rest, and then capture the fighters.

He believed that the Yokono squadron was ambushed by himself and the Chitian squadron in the north would be cautious and might stagnate.

If this idiot Sen Mu still wanted to sweep Su Jiatang, he wouldn't mind destroying another squadron of Sen Mu.

Moriki led his troops to Jinlang Bay, and saw that there were only craters from shells from some grenadiers on the avenue, and occasionally some blood stains, but since the Yokono squadron lost contact, it was nowhere to be seen, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

At this moment, the sharp soldiers in front came to report that the bodies of imperial soldiers had been found near the hill at the southern end of Jinlang Bay, as well as eight wounded Japanese soldiers and fifteen wounded members of the Imperial Allied Army.

Hearing this, Moriki's face was gloomy, and he shouted to go, and under the protection of his subordinates, he walked along the avenue towards the hill to the south.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain, he couldn't help but be stunned, and what appeared in front of him was the corpses of more than a hundred neatly placed imperial soldiers, and a few wounded people who were constantly moaning beside them. Not far from the corpses of the Imperial soldiers, there were more than sixty corpses of the soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and next to them, the wounded of the Imperial Cooperative Army, all of whom were crying miserably.

Just as he was looking at the scene in front of him in a daze, the three officers of the Imperial Alliance Army were brought over tremblingly.

"Yours, tell me, what the hell is going on?" At this time, Moriki had seen that Yokono's corpse was placed in the middle of those corpses, and the blood hole of his **** had coagulated.

"Report to Taijun, we were ambushed by the main force of the New Fourth Army, as soon as the battle started, our battalion commander Peng was loyal to the emperor, Taijun, you want our commander to avenge it." The three platoon commanders wept bitterly and made a painful appearance.

Although the New Fourth Army released them, the Imperial Association Army was all gone, and even the Imperial Army, which was extremely powerful in their eyes in the past, was all dead, and they still had lingering palpitations now.

Of course, I was afraid that the big prince in front of me would cut off his head in anger.

"What are you crying about? Tell me, what's going on? Moriki shouted in disgust.

Seeing the displeasure on Taijun Morimu's face, the three platoon commanders of the Imperial Association Army hurriedly explained in detail what had just happened.

When Moriki learned that the Yokono squadron was walking on the avenue with paddy fields on both sides, and that the New Fourth Army, which was ambushed in the west, suddenly opened fire, and that the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army were all crowded on the avenue, unobstructed, and that as soon as the battle began, the troops suffered heavy casualties, he couldn't help but carefully observe the terrain of Jinlang Bay and found that the commander of the New Fourth Army had indeed an extraordinary grasp of the fighter plane.

Poor Yokono, this stupid man, at that time his squadron was all on the avenue in the middle of the paddy field, and he couldn't launch a counterattack to the east and west at all, the only way out was at the north and south ends, the south was blocked by the Imperial Alliance Army walking behind, and the north was blocked by the New Fourth Army.

Immediately, Senmu thought of a question.

You must know that Yokono's squadron has a lot of grenadiers and two heavy machine guns, if used properly, it should be able to pose a serious threat to the ambushed New Fourth Army, as long as he concentrates his firepower to bombard north, he should be able to get out of danger, why in the end his troops can't even enter the village.

Hearing Sen Mu's question, a short platoon commander of the Imperial Allied Army whispered that the grenadiers and heavy machine gunners and light machine gunners in the Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army were killed by bullets flying from nowhere when the battle began, especially those grenadiers, who were directly shot in the head in less than ten minutes after the battle, and then those heavy machine gunners and light machine gunners.

"What? You say that the grenadiers and machine gunners of the Imperial Army were killed and wounded in the first round of fire of the New Fourth Army when the battle began? When Senmu heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

The main reason why the army of the Great Japanese Empire was invincible in the Chinese battlefield was that the squadron-sized troops were equipped with nine grenadier canisters and even two heavy machine guns, and as for the light machine guns, they were even more capable of one squad.

But these weapons of the Yokono squadron failed to play effectively, and it is no wonder that the Yokono squadron was finished so quickly.

"Yes, Taijun, the sharpshooters in the New Fourth Army are too powerful, specializing in grenadiers and machine gunners......" The platoon commander of the Imperial Allied Army said repeatedly.

Knowing that the Imperial Association troops who had no casualties were all taken away by the New Fourth Army, Sen Mu was stunned, and after a while, he ordered the troops to take the remains of those dead soldiers and slowly retreat to Majiaji in the east.

Although Ma Jiaji was destroyed by the 16th Regiment, it is still in the hands of the imperial army.

Judging from the fact that the Yokono squadron was ambushed and the whole army was wiped out, it was already unrealistic to use only one squadron in his hand plus the Imperial Association Army to flatten Sujiatang.

If the 16th Regiment can defeat his Yokono squadron in one battle, it will have the ability to defeat his Fujiki squadron, and if the Fujiki squadron is eaten by the New Fourth Army again, even if he is lucky enough to go back alive, I am afraid that the wing captain will not be able to spare himself.

Frustrated, he decided to withdraw his troops, and Moriki immediately sent a telegram to Chitian, telling him to immediately lead his troops to withdraw to the stronghold. At the same time, Moriki reported the news of the failure of the sweep to the wing captain.

Liu Tianshu received a report from the reconnaissance company and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that Sen Mu had withdrawn his troops. Then he immediately ordered Tong Guijie and Xie Pingcai to withdraw to Sujiatang with the booty and the prisoners, and at the same time ordered two platoons of the reconnaissance company plus two grenadier groups of the machine gun company to follow Senmu with him.

Since the devil wants to go back, no matter what, he has to give him a hard time, if Senmu is allowed to withdraw to Linshan County so smoothly, Liu Tianshu feels sorry for himself.

Zhou Aiguo couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that the regiment commander had decided to personally take the reconnaissance company to chase the devils. In the battle of ambushing the Yokono squadron, his reconnaissance company was only responsible for reconnoitring the enemy's situation, and did not participate in the battle.

In order to speed up the march, Liu Tianshu asked the grenadier to place the grenadier on the horse that captured Yokono, and then ran east to chase after him.

Because Sen Mu's troops had to carry the more than 200 corpses, their speed was naturally not fast, although the devils forcibly requisitioned a lot of large vehicles, but the roads in the south were already difficult to walk.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Tianshu and Zhou Aiguo took two platoons of the reconnaissance company and finally caught up with the devils who retreated eastward.

Seeing the enemy hurriedly retreating east in the mountains and forests in front, Liu Tianshu looked at Zhou Aiguo and smiled: "Company Commander Zhou, order the troops to rest in place for fifteen minutes, and then we will catch up and bite them." ”

When the warriors heard this, they sat down on the ground to rest.

Although the reconnaissance company has undergone intensive training during this period, the fighters have gone through a fierce long-distance attack, and their physical exertion is too great.

Fifteen minutes later, the soldiers finally relented, so under the command of Liu Tianshu, Zhou Aiguo led a platoon to hurriedly detour to the south to chase the devil, and he himself personally commanded another platoon, with a grenadier group, and chased directly from behind.

When the resting soldiers heard that they were going to fight devils, they were naturally full of energy and immediately chased forward with their guns.

Half an hour later, Liu Tianshu and the others caught up with a small hill, and saw that the broken Imperial Association Army was hurriedly pushing the cart forward, and seeing that it was still within the range of the grenadiers, they immediately ordered the grenadier group to set up the grenadiers, and the rest of the soldiers accelerated their speed to chase forward.

With a soft sound, a cannonball flew out with a puff of smoke, flew rapidly in the sky, and then flew towards the Imperial Allied Army, which was retreating eastward in a panic

It's a pity that the grenadiers of the machine gun company have only just been formed, and their skills are not very skilled, and the first shell missed five meters and fell directly into the paddy field on the side of the avenue.

However, when the Imperial Concordants heard a cannonball flying behind them, they immediately turned into frightened birds, put down the carriage and ran forward.

At this time, the second shell flew and landed in the Imperial Allied Army that was rushing forward, and the two Imperial Allied Army were directly blown away.

At the same time, Zhou Aiguo, who had turned to the side, was also in place, and the second platoon of the reconnaissance company under his command immediately raised his gun and fired at the devils in front, and a burst of bullets flew out, and the six devil soldiers were directly knocked over.

Moriki didn't expect bullets to fly from the side, and after the sudden attack, those devil soldiers quickly came to their senses, and a Japanese squad quickly launched a counterattack to the south.

It's a pity that Zhou Aiguo has been instructed by Liu Tianshu that this battle is only to harass the enemy, not to fight hard with the devil, he commanded the soldiers to shoot three bullets each, and then quickly retreated.

At the same time, the grenadier who cooperated with his action, after firing three shells, dragged the grenadier backwards and ran away, regardless of the effect.

As soon as they ran a short distance, the shells of the devil's counterattack came over, and then dozens of angry devil soldiers rushed to Zhou Aiguo's attack position just now.

Hearing that there was an attack from the New Fourth Army behind and on the flank, Moriki immediately sent Japanese soldiers to counterattack, and at the same time let the Imperial Alliance Army go to the middle.

The Yokono squadron was destroyed, and all the Imperial Allied troops that cooperated with the operation were lost, letting him know that if he didn't send Imperial soldiers to fight back, he was afraid that the Imperial Allied Army that followed him would also suffer a large number of losses.

Liu Tianshu saw those Imperial Cooperative troops fleeing forward, so he naturally chased after the soldiers, but unfortunately as soon as he caught up with a hill, he saw a group of devil soldiers rushing backwards while shooting, and at the same time machine guns and grenadiers were also coming towards this side.

As soon as he saw that the devils were concentrating their forces on counterattacking, he immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat.

The devil saw the pursuers retreating, so he slowly retreated.

Unfortunately, they had not gone far when they heard the sound of grenadiers firing shells from behind, and two shells flew again. (To be continued.) )
