The equipment of an artillery regiment, nearly 4,000 prisoners, plus the weapons and ammunition abandoned by the Russian army can be collected on the way back. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuan Lei decisively ended his sortie.

After all, it was impossible for him to fight under the noses of the Japanese army with almost four thousand prisoners and an artillery regiment.

However, Yuan Lei, with his subordinates and prisoners, had just walked in the direction of Liaozhong for half an hour, when a group of Japanese soldiers who came to inquire were in front of the Second Regiment.

Perhaps it was the Liaodong Army that saw that it was the Liaodong Army that was walking in front, and the Japanese troops in a squadron did not shoot directly.

into a state of battle, quickly unfolded, blocking in front of the Liaodong Army.

The regiment commander Yuan Lei frowned, pointed to a guard beside him and ordered: "You go and tell the Japanese army on the other side that we are the Liaodong Army, and immediately get out of the way." Without getting out of the way within five minutes, our Liaodong Army directly launched an attack and opened a road out. ”

Soon, the guards brought back a piece of news that made Yuan Lei very dissatisfied.

"The Japanese army on the other side did say that they would only get out of the way after we gave up the prisoners and captures behind us......" Yuan Lei asked the guard with a frown.

Seeing the guard nodding, Yuan Lei immediately replied: "You go again and tell them that these prisoners and captures belong to the Liaodong Army." We've got three minutes to attack. ”

After the guards left, Yuan Lei ordered: "The first battalion is ready for battle, as long as the Japanese army does not give way, attack immediately." ”

After the defeat of the Russian army, the Japanese army, with high morale, thought that they had no opponents in Liaodong.

Therefore, the Japanese squadron leader did not pay attention to Yuan Lei's threat at all. He was confident that when the Japanese army won a great victory, the Liaodong Army would never dare to take the initiative to provoke him.

However, after all, the Liaodong Army on the opposite side has a regiment, and there are three or four thousand captured Russian troops, and with only one squadron of their own, even if the Liaodong Army compromises, it can't watch so many prisoners of the Russian army.

So, the arrogant squadron leader did not give way. However, a herald was sent to report to the captain and the co-captain for reinforcements.

Just when he was confident and waiting for reinforcements, the Liaodong Army a hundred meters away moved.

Ten light machine guns equipped with the first battalion were immediately carried in the arms of the machine gunners and rushed to the front of the troops.

As soon as the battalion commander gave the order, the ten light machine guns were fired.

Dense bullets, quickly flew towards the Japanese army who were caught off guard.

Because many Japanese soldiers have the same idea as the squadron leader, plus they have not fought with the Liaodong Army, they look down on the Liaodong Army from the bottom of their hearts. Most of the Japanese army was unprepared for the Liaodong Army, and did not even have the slightest vigilance.

After the gunshots rang out, many Japanese soldiers just showed shocked expressions on their faces, and the dense bullets that whizzed over made bloody holes in their bodies.

After all the bullets in one magazine of the ten light machine guns were exhausted, the Japanese army was not satisfied with the formation of a squadron, and there was not a single one standing.

Of the more than 100 Japanese soldiers, except for the forty or fifty who were killed and wounded, all the rest were lying on the ground, dodging the bullets flying overhead.

"Baga, how could the Liaodong Army shoot, how dare they shoot...... Counterattack, counterattack immediately......" The squadron leader who survived, like an angry lion, lay on the ground and scolded loudly.

The rest of the Japanese troops also reacted from the shock, picked up their rifles and began to counterattack.

But the riflemen of the second regiment and the first battalion were not vegetarians, and as soon as the light machine gun fire stopped, these riflemen with rifles subconsciously pulled the trigger.

In the slightly messy and sparse gunfire, the bullets were on good target.

Less than 100 meters of difficulty, coupled with the fact that the machine gun fired, the rifleman found and stared at his chosen target.

Hundreds of bullets, even if they do not meet the high standard of bullet biting, there is still a hit rate of six or seven percent.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Japanese soldiers were hit by bullets with complex expressions of shock and despair, lying on the ground motionless.

The perfect combination of light machine guns and rifles caught the Japanese by surprise with overwhelming superiority, and caused them at least sixty percent of casualties.

At this time, the guns of the Japanese counterattack also rang out.

Their accurate marksmanship allowed them to inflict at least 10 casualties on a team with less than 50 rifles.

However, as soon as the shots rang out, their location was revealed. And a battalion of ten light machine guns has been replaced with a new magazine.

Ten machine gunners, immediately opened fire on the riflemen who had just been exposed by the Japanese army.

A string of five or six bullets flew by, and even if they were lying on the ground, they did not escape the damage of the bullets.

Seeing that the bullet hit the target, the sharpshooter immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and fired at the next target.

In the midst of this, hundreds of riflemen did not sit idle, shooting at targets that they considered suspicious.

After all the bullets in the second magazine of the 10 light machine guns were empty, more than 100 Japanese troops from a distance of 100 meters could not find a single living mouth.

After nodding his head with the results, Yuan Lei decisively ordered: "The Japanese don't want weapons and ammunition...... The first battalion immediately cleaned up the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the road, and the troops continued to retreat in the direction of Liaozhong. Cavalry company, reconnaissance platoon, strengthened alert"

"We have killed so many Japanese, and the Japanese will definitely not let us retreat smoothly. If you find a large number of Japanese troops, report it immediately. ”

Yuan Lei had just walked for less than an hour when an infantry brigade of the Japanese army who had come to inquire rushed to the battlefield.

Looking at the more than 100 soldiers who had been beaten into corpses, the face of the Japanese captain was quickly enveloped in anger. Without thinking about it, he gave the order to pursue the Liaodong Army, and sent a herald to report the situation here to the wing commander.

For the 2nd Regiment, which carried a large number of artillery pieces and prisoners, the Japanese pursued more than twice as fast.

More than half an hour later, Yuan Lei learned from the cavalry company that an infantry brigade of the Japanese army was following the pursuit.

From the moment he killed most of the Japanese squadron, Yuan Lei knew that it was impossible for him to return to Liaozhong smoothly.

After standing in place and thinking for half a minute, Yuan Lei, who was frowning, decisively ordered: "Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, I ......will leave you the second battalion, the guard company, half of the light machine guns of the whole regiment and the ten heavy machine guns captured along the way."

"You're going to drive me here like a nail for an hour."

"Within an hour, the Japanese army dared to attack and resolutely annihilate them. An hour later, choose the time and route of retreat, retreat in the direction of Liaozhong, hold on to our Liaodong Army's own defense line and wait for you to come back. ”

The establishment of the Japanese army is very familiar to Deputy Regiment Commander Wang.

In his opinion, the most likely threat to him from an infantry brigade of the Japanese army was a dozen heavy machine guns in a heavy machine gun squadron.

So, from the very beginning, Deputy Regiment Commander Wang had a plan in his head for the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron.

As long as the plan is successful, he will not only be able to easily hold off the Japanese troops here for an hour, but also capture all the equipment of the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron.

When Deputy Regiment Commander Wang saw the Japanese chasing soldiers, the Japanese army also saw the Liaodong Army that was relying on the terrain to build a blocking position.

"Yo Xi, the cunning Liaodong Army must want to block us here and buy time for their main force to retreat." The captain of the Japanese army frowned and muttered to himself.

However, it didn't take long for the Japanese captain to look at the defense line of the Liaodong Army, and said with a mocking face: "However, with just one, they want to block one of our infantry brigades, and the Liaodong Army underestimates our combat effectiveness too much." “

"Order, heavy machine gun cover, the first squadron to attack, break through the positions of the Liaodong Army." (To be continued.) )
