At dawn, Liu Tianshu breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Sato's cavalry squadron was advancing towards Niutang Dam again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The autumn night was still very cold, the machine gun company and the seventh company were ambushed in the mountains and forests, and they did not dare to move, and many soldiers shivered with cold.

Xu Yongdong and Liu Sutang received an order from Liu Tianshu that Sato's cavalry squadron was about to come, and immediately ordered all troops to enter the position, all light and heavy machine guns to be ready to fire, and grenadiers to prepare for bombardment according to the parameters in advance.

Sato was still very careful, and he was harassed by the guerrillas all the way last night, and he finally had to stop. No, after receiving the order, he immediately sent a reconnaissance squad of fifteen people to open the way in front, followed by the main force of the cavalry squadron, and as for the Japanese infantry who arrived later, they fought hard to walk behind.

Perhaps because it was still early, his cavalry squadron was not attacked by the guerrillas along the way, and the cavalry reconnaissance team that opened the road in front soon walked to Niutangba, and after some fire reconnaissance of the surrounding mountains and forests, it sent a safety signal to the main force behind, and then continued to walk forward.

The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army not only captured Pingyuan Town, but also attacked the arsenal of Chen Gouji, and now the defenders of Chen Gou Ji are still fighting with the attacking Eighth Route Army with strong fortifications.

The independent regiment is also fighting Pingyuan Town and Chengouji, and according to intelligence, the first battalion of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Songkan seems to be still holding the same place, so that the strength of the independent regiment is only two battalions at most. According to Watanabe's speculation, Liu Tianshu is very likely to use one battalion to attack Pingyuan Town and one battalion to attack Chen Gouji.

The Eighth Route Army, which captured Pingyuan Town, was repulsed by Saito, who arrived later, and Saito's brigade also successfully recaptured Pingyuan Town.

He is a cavalry squadron, and under normal circumstances, the small units of the Eighth Route Army do not dare to ambush easily.

Because as long as there is a charge, his warriors will rush in front of the opponent, and then the sharp saber can slash and kill all opponents at will.

As long as the cavalry is allowed to rush thirty meters in front of the infantry, the infantry will face an extremely tragic massacre.

Besides, he also carefully sent reconnaissance squads to conduct reconnaissance.

Sato imagined in his mind that he rushed to Chengou with the imperial cavalry, and the scene of the besieging Chengou Dobachi Road fled in spite of the wind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

In this way, Sato's cavalry squadron walked into the ambush circle specially set up by Liu Tianshu in Niutangba.

Seeing more than 150 devil cavalry walking along the avenue into the highway below in a four-way column, Liu Tianshu's eyes showed a smile, and the sniper rifle in his hand was aimed at a devil officer who was walking in front.

In the scope, the arrogant face of this devil officer was extremely clear, Liu Tianshu put his forehead on the crosshair, took a light breath, and then suddenly pulled the trigger, with a crisp gunshot, the bullet burst out of the air, and penetrated into the forehead of the devil officer extremely quickly.

The devil officer's figure, which had been swaying with the war horse, suddenly stopped, and then slowly dismounted.

The sound of the gun was the signal, and then, between the hills, all the light and heavy machine guns of the machine gun company and the seventh company opened fire suddenly, and countless bullets were fired on the road between the mountains to weave a blazing web of death, and the bullets pounced like moths, tearing apart the flesh of the war horses and devils on the road in a blink of an eye, and the neighing of the war horses dying sounded everywhere.

Sato heard the sound of dense light and heavy machine guns around him, and his face suddenly changed, and then he saw the originally mighty soldiers dismount one by one, and the whole formation became a mess.

Immediately knowing that he had been ambushed, he hurriedly drew his command knife and swung it towards the hill in front of him, ordering the remaining soldiers to attack.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the cannonballs from the grenadiers kept falling from the sky, and these shells exploded in the formation of the cavalry squadron, and the huge explosion made the already frightened war horses even more confused, and countless war horses and soldiers were blown away.

There were a few fierce devil cavalry, seeing that the situation was critical, desperately urged the horses to rush forward, but unfortunately they were greeted by an impenetrable rain of bullets, and the war horses in front fell like leaves in the wind.

The machine gunners of the machine gun company and the third battalion just kept firing at the front, watching the arrogant devils fall to the ground, and there was an indescribable sense of relief in their hearts.

The battalion commander's order was that they only fired as much as they could, and there was no need to save bullets at all, and these machine gunners had never fought as well as this one.

Liu Sutang saw that the devil cavalry rushed to the front of the position fifty meters at most, and all of them turned into bloody corpses, and his heart was already shocked.

The soldiers of the 7th Company saw the devils fall in pieces, and some even forgot to shoot.

Anyway, with the powerful firepower of the machine gunners, these devils don't need them to shoot at all, and as for the prepared grenades, they are not put to use.

The machine-gun fire of the independent regiment lasted only twenty minutes, and the whole road was littered with the screams of fallen horses and wounded devils, and not a single standing cavalryman was ever seen again.

Liu Tianshu was relieved to see that the devil's cavalry squadron had escaped except for the reconnaissance team, and the rest were all handed over here, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Liu Sutang's seventh company to quickly clean up the battlefield.

Of course, when cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers of the Seventh Company were very careful to prevent the devils from wounding the soldiers in their final dying struggles.

While the Seventh Company was cleaning up the battlefield, the machine gun company began to move, because once the devils learned that the cavalry squadron had been ambushed, according to common sense, its planes were very likely to come to retaliate against the bombing.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Sutang cleaned up the battlefield and led his troops to retreat to the mountains and forests in the northeast, the two planes of the devil came roaring.

It's a pity that on the road of Niutangba, there are only the corpses of devils lying on the road, and at the same time, there are seven or eight wounded devils who were carried to the side of the road by the soldiers of the seventh company.

As for the wounded soldiers who wanted to fight hard with the Seventh Company, they were all sent back to their hometowns.

Liu Tianshu, who had retreated to Chengouji not far from the machine gun company, received the statistics of the results of the battle sent by Liu Sutang, and saw the 124 horse rifles captured, 140 sabers used by the cavalry, 48 war horses, and a large amount of other supplies, and a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Liao Zhifeng asked with a smile: "Tianshu, did you catch something good?" ”

"Hehe, this time not only completely wiped out Watanabe's cavalry squadron, but also captured a large number of supplies, now Watanabe is afraid that he will be angry and stomp his feet. The devil cavalry squadron was defeated, and it was useless for Chen Gouji to keep these devils, so inform Yang Donghu and let him eliminate the remnants of Chen Gouji within half an hour, take all the materials of Chen Gouji, and we will withdraw. Liu Tianshu looked in the direction of Chen Gouji and said.

"Give up Chen Gouji?" Liao Zhifeng was a little puzzled.

This Chen Gouji is not easy to recover, why do you give up so easily.

"Yes, my political commissar, you see, Chen Gouji is too close to the county seat of the devil, and the Saito brigade has reoccupied Pingyuan Town, if we stay here, we will definitely be attacked by the devils and the Saito brigade from the county seat. Besides, the fighters are also tired, so we still take it when we see it. Liu Tianshu looked at Liao Zhifeng and said.

Before Pingyuan Town is completely recovered, even if Chen Gouji is taken, he may not be able to hold it, rather than this, it is better to temporarily enter and lose it to Watanabe.

Thirty minutes later, Yang Donghu and Ma Chaoyuan commanded the third battalion, and after paying the price of more than 20 casualties, they eliminated all the devils in Chen Gouji, and then with the help of the migrant workers organized by the county brigade, they quickly emptied Chen Gouji, and then blew up all the remnants of the devils.

Watanabe got the news that the cavalry squadron was attacked and the whole army was wiped out, and Chen Gouji also fell into the hands of Liu Tianshu, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he didn't know how Liu Tianshu did it, and in less than forty minutes, he ate only a little residue of his cavalry squadron.

Even the cavalry reconnaissance team, seeing that the situation was not good, under the wise guidance of the squad leader, without the slightest hesitation, ran in the direction of Pingyuan Town, and then luckily escaped the independent regiment and ran to meet the Saito brigade.

Looking at the map in front of him, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, and he had to ask the planes to search and bomb the independent regiment on the one hand, and order Saito's brigade to abandon Pingyuan Town and prepare to recover Chengouji.

Without Chen Gouji's support, even if Saito recaptured Pingyuan Town, he would not be able to hold it.

Besides, judging from the operation of the Independent Regiment, it not only eliminated the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army stationed in Pingyuan Town, but also ate the Japanese puppet army stationed in Chengouji, and what embarrassed him even more was that he simply ate his cavalry squadron.

In other words, Liu Tianshu ate his three squadrons and more than 500 imperial troops in less than thirty hours.

Now Watanabe knows that what awaits him is not only the accountability of the brigade commander, but also the military court or the return home.

Saito's brigade returned to Chengouji from Pingyuan Town, but was unexpectedly not attacked by the Eighth Route Army, but when they arrived at Chengouji, they saw the bodies of the fallen soldiers neatly placed in the small square in front of the original Japanese headquarters in Chengouji.

The corpses of Imperial soldiers and the corpses of Imperial Soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army filled the entire small square, giving people an incomparably strong visual impact.

As for all the materials stored by the imperial army in Chen Gouji, they were all emptied by the independent regiment, and in the warehouse that was originally full, only a few rats were left running leisurely.

Seeing this scene, Saito's face turned pale, and he ordered the soldiers to load the corpses of the fallen imperial warriors and transport them back to the county seat, as for those imperial alliance troops, they notified their families to come and claim them, and if there were no family members to claim them, they would be handed over to the maintenance society to be buried directly.

When Hao Mengxuan learned that Saito's brigade had withdrawn from Pingyuan Town, he immediately led his troops to occupy Pingyuan Town again, and then sent troops to fortify the area around Wangzhuang in the south of Pingyuan Town.

Chen Gouji was captured by the Independent Regiment in one fell swoop, which made the devils have to shrink the defensive line, and in this way, it created conditions for the Independent Regiment to gain a firm foothold in Pingyuan Town.

Of course, Liu Tianshu will not let go of this opportunity. (To be continued.) )
