Looking at the attacking troops once again shrouded in artillery fire, the commanders of the mixed brigades who watched the battle were extremely depressed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEveryone knows that Ono Jiro, who has made meritorious contributions, is afraid that he will not have a chance to attack the position of the Eighth Route Army.

In the face of the sudden artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army, the mixed brigade that thought that the artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army had been destroyed by the Air Force. The reason for this defeat is more anger on the bombing force of the air force just now.

If they hadn't said that they had destroyed the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army behind their positions, they would not have been defeated by now. The most frustrating thing for the little devil is that such a failure has been repeated three times.

But just when they were frustrated, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army began to extend to the place where their reserve troops were. Seeing this scene, many commanders also hurriedly ordered the troops acting as reserves to retreat first to avoid artillery fire.

It was also at this time that the position of the Eighth Route Army suddenly sounded the charge horn that many Japanese troops were familiar with. Looking at the Eighth Route Army that jumped up from the trenches and rushed straight down the mountain, many Japanese soldiers felt humiliated.

'Yaga! How dare they launch a counter-charge against us? ’

Some officers, who felt that their honor had been insulted, could not help but curse these words. But after scolding, they felt normal again. Now that the Eighth Route Army has the advantage on the battlefield, is it possible that others can only be beaten and unable to fight back?

Listening to the fierce gunfire coming from the position, there was also the attacking infantry that was directly collapsing. Many officers were also surprised: "What about it! How can these eight-way guns be equipped with so many submachine guns? ”

Judging from the intensity and continuous sound of the gunshots, many officers knew that it should be the sound of a submachine gun. But for many Japanese soldiers, the use of submachine guns on the battlefield is undoubtedly a waste of ammunition.

But it must be admitted that in the course of close combat, the use of submachine guns can also have a great advantage. In the face of these Eighth Route Army, which jumped out of the trench with submachine guns and rushed straight forward, the Japanese troops who survived the artillery fire were powerless to resist.

Even without the officer's order, the first reaction of all the surviving little devils was to retreat. Flee to the bottom of the mountain, only then may you be able to save your life. If you continue to stay here, there is no possibility of survival.

As for Jiro Ono, who originally commanded them to attack, he had become a trophy of a cannonball when the artillery of the Eighth Route Army attacked before. The death of the captain also realized that the attack had completely failed.

Even if the little devils reacted quickly, wanting to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking their makeshift defensive positions. The Eighth Route Army, which could carry out a counter-charge, quickly stopped the pursuit after killing the attacking little devils.

While retaining some troops, the soldiers in the positions who did not participate in the counter-charge began to clean up the battlefield. All the useful things on the little devil's body were unceremoniously cleaned, leaving only a remnant or stripped corpse.

When the battlefield was cleaned up, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army held a loudspeaker and shouted to the Japanese blocking troops a few hundred meters away: "Little devil, listen up!" Now you can collect the corpses! ”

Such arrogant words made the brigade commander of the mixed brigade directly feel that his heart was black, and after spitting out a mouthful of angry blood, he simply fainted. After all, such shouts are too deceitful!

When did the imperial army, which was rampant in China, fall to such a miserable end?

Even the rest of the brigades also felt panicked. I heard the Eighth Route Army shouting again: "Give you half an hour to collect the corpse, if you don't come to collect the corpse, we will dig a pit and bury it together." ”

Such a simple threat forced the officers of the mixed brigade to compromise. If even the bones of the warriors who died in battle are not recovered, what will the other living little devils think of these officers?

For many Japanese soldiers, dying on the battlefield was not something to be afraid of. What worries them the most is that their souls will not be able to return to their homeland after death. If you really let the Eighth Route Army dig a pit and bury it casually, then the families of these dead soldiers will also make trouble in the future.

No matter what, there must be a pile of ashes when people die, right?

The chief of staff of the brigade, who temporarily replaced the post of brigade commander, also said in a timely manner: "Organize a brigade to collect the remains of our warriors." The rest of the troops, ready for defense. We stood by until we received an order from the headquarters. ”

The chief of staff of the brigade and regiment who gave this order had no idea that the result of his order was to bury the last line of life of the entire brigade and regiment. If they retreat decisively at this time, they can at least save the surviving troops.

But as a temporary acting commander, this chief of staff did not dare to give such an order at all. You know, the three attacks lost nearly half of the troops, but no progress was made. In the real retreat, who bears the responsibility?

It stands to reason that the responsibility for this defeat should be the responsibility of the brigade commander of the mixed brigade. But the point is that the brigade commander is already in a state of flux. As an acting commander, how dare he give such an order that might kill him?

After cleaning up the loot, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route on the defensive position also calmly watched the little devil collect the corpse. For those unarmed little devils who came to collect the corpses, the fighters on the position would not shoot.

After all, there are some battlefield rules that still have to be followed. The most important thing is that they took the initiative to ask the little devil to come and collect the body. It stands to reason that the Eighth Route Army should not be so well-intentioned, but why should it do so?

As the commander of the first regiment, he explained to the commander of the main battalion under his command: "There are less than two or three hours left before dark, and the first thing we have to do is not to scare these little devils away."

We have repelled the three attacks of the little devils before, although we have no way of accurately grasping the specific casualty figures. However, from the information we have obtained earlier, the strength of this mixed brigade is only afraid that it has shrunk by nearly half.

Letting these little devils collect the corpses can also consume a little time. The most important thing is that seeing these corpses is believed to be a huge psychological blow to those living little devils. Why not do something that can kill two birds with one stone?

As long as the time is delayed until nightfall, the little devil's plane will not be able to fly. When the main force of the division headquarters arrives, we can take the opportunity to counterattack the brigade of the little devils and annihilate them all in the royal road crossing.

Eliminate this independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, and in a short period of time, the little devil's troops in Chengde and Chifeng will also be unable to resist our surprise attack. Therefore, what we have to do now is to give the little devil a little time to breathe.

At least make them feel that we have a lot to lose, and we just want to delay a little longer. As long as the little devil doesn't run, we're victorious. Letting the little devils collect the corpses is the best way to delay time, and it can also hit their morale! ”

After some explanations and explanations by the regiment commander, the main battalion commanders who came to the meeting also felt very excited: "Regiment commander, our regiment is responsible for the main attack in the evening counteroffensive, right?" ”

'Of course! Nearly half of these little devils have been wiped out in our group, and the rest will naturally be rounded. However, the 2nd Cavalry Division will launch a surprise attack from the rear of the Japanese army, and they will definitely be faster than us when they have horses.

Therefore, from now on, let the fighters replenish a little food and water to prepare for the next assault. You have to grab it in front of the gang of the Second Cavalry Division and grab the fattest piece of meat for Lao Tzu, understand? ’

'Yes, Captain! ’

Earlier, the Second Cavalry Division had already picked up a battle exploit to recover Duolun. As the Second Infantry Division, they are undoubtedly very envious. Now that this little devil is an independent mixed brigade, they naturally don't want others to rob it.

The sense of honor of the soldiers and the collective sense of honor of the troops do not allow them to miss this opportunity to make great achievements. After a short meeting, a group of fighters on the position also began to prepare for the next defensive counterattack.

And the reconnaissance battalion, which had been resting for most of the day at this moment, also received a telegram from the front-line scouts. When it was learned that there were several more vehicles and began to transport the wounded to the rear of the Japanese army in the city, the camouflage company, which had been waiting for a long time, finally started.

'Go, let a row go to the road to install iron nails!' Commandos, lurking on the side of the highway and ready to attack! ’

As the commander of the reconnaissance company issued the combat order, the reconnaissance company, which had already changed into the military uniform of the little devils, also began to wait for the arrival of the military vehicles of the Japanese troops transporting the wounded on the front line. As long as they snatch the military vehicles of the little devils, they can take advantage of the situation to sneak into the rear camp of the Japanese army.

As for the reconnaissance battalion, which had been lurking near the barracks for a long time, it was naturally ready for battle. Once the reconnaissance company mixed into the city, then all they had to do was to completely take the barracks of the mixed brigade in the rear.

At the same time, it was almost night. Even if the mixed brigades on the front line learned the news, I am afraid that they will not be able to succeed. And when the offensive is launched, the reconnaissance battalion will naturally notify the 2nd Division and let them cooperate accordingly.

As long as the main force of the mixed brigade on the front line does not return, the little devils who stayed behind are not the opponents of the reconnaissance battalion at all. But in order to avoid casualties, camouflage infiltration is undoubtedly a good tactic.

Not long after, several military vehicles transporting supplies by little devils soon appeared in the sight of the reconnaissance company. Looking at these rickety military vehicles, the commandos lurking on both sides of the road are ready for battle.

Waiting until the driver of the military vehicle driving in front suddenly felt that the car was instantly deviating from the direction, and urgently stepped on the brakes. The military vehicle that followed behind also quickly stepped on the brakes. The little devil who was on guard with the car was also ready to fight.

I just looked around the road, and I didn't seem to find any hostile situation. After the driver of the first car got out of the car, he looked at the flat tires and couldn't help cursing: "Baga, the tires have been punctured again!" ”

When I found the spare tire I was carrying and was about to start changing the tire, the little devil who was on guard with the car also seemed a little relaxed. After all, it's not uncommon for tires to get punctured, and the road conditions here are already very bad.

Just when these vigilant soldiers relaxed, the commandos who were lying in ambush on both sides of the road suddenly lifted their camouflage and killed all these little devils who were in charge of vigilance with a very fast firing speed.

It didn't take long to wipe out the little devils of the entire team. The reconnaissance company in disguise restarted the little devil's car, carrying commandos posing as wounded, and began to head towards the rear barracks of the little devil! (To be continued.) )
