Staff Officer Qin saw that as the machine guns arranged on both sides of Tangjiagou opened fire one after another, the devils walking on the avenue immediately fell down screaming like straw. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After careful arrangement, each machine gun was divided into its own firing range, and the task of the machine gunner and his assistant was to shoot as many shots as possible within the specified time, until there were no more devils standing in their area of responsibility.

The devils of a squadron, no more than thirty soldiers who could lie on the ground and raise their guns to shoot back, more often than not, before they understood what was going on, they were hit by bullets, and with disbelief, they fell on the avenue.

The leader of the devil's squadron saw that his soldiers were slaughtered by the machine guns of the New Fourth Army, and they had no power to fight back at all, even if they were lying on the ground, there was nowhere to hide.

The devils around him were hit by bullets, and in the blink of an eye, they fell towards him and crushed him under the corpse.

Smelling an incomparably bloody smell, the devil squadron leader's eyes turned black and he fainted.

After five minutes of rapid fire from all the machine guns, there was not a single devil standing in the entire valley. Even the Imperial Allied Army, which was walking behind, all fell in a pool of blood.

As for the Imperial Allied Army that walked to the east of Tangjiagou, it had already been surrounded by the New Fourth Army at this time, and when these Imperial Allied Army heard the fierce gunfire that sounded in the ditch, they dared to resist, so they could only obediently raise their guns with both hands and surrender.

Staff Officer Qin and Xie Ping saw that all the devils on the avenue had been defeated, so they ordered the machine gunners to stop firing, and the fifth company immediately cleaned up the battlefield, and the sixth company was responsible for guarding.

As soon as the 5th Company had cleaned up the battlefield, it heard the 6th Company Commander report that a squadron of devils had been approaching this side.

Xie Pingcai glanced back at the direction of the devil's reinforcements, shouted to withdraw, and withdrew with his troops to the east.

Kameda sent Japanese troops to Tangjiagou, and after Xie Pingcai withdrew with the 5th and 6th companies for ten minutes, they finally arrived at Tangjiagou, which was littered with corpses.

The leader of the third squadron of the Kameda Brigade climbed up the hill out of breath, and saw the leader of the squad who was walking in front running over with a frightened face.

"Squadron leader, no, fourth squadron, fourth squadron." The squad leader was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.

"What's wrong with the fourth squadron, you say it quickly." Seeing that his subordinates couldn't even say a complete sentence, the third squadron leader couldn't help but get angry.

"Squadron leader, go and see, the fourth squadron is all in the ravine." The squad leader's face changed, and he turned to point at Tang Jiagou.

The leader of the third squadron hurriedly ran to Tangjiagoutou, surrounded by more than a dozen devils. Suddenly, an avenue appeared in front of him, and at the same time, the corpses of Imperial soldiers lying along the avenue appeared in front of him.

Most of these dead Imperial soldiers had three or two blood holes drilled out of their bodies by bullets, and some of them were even beaten into blood sieves by bullets, and at this time, red blood was still dripping out.

At a glance, the commander of the 3rd Squadron knew that all the officers and men of the 4th Squadron were lying there.

"How so? How so? The third squadron leader muttered in disbelief.

From the time the fourth squadron was attacked and rushed to Tangjiagou by itself, it was only forty minutes at most, and all the soldiers of the entire squadron were killed.

When did the combat effectiveness of the New Fourth Army become so strong?

At this time, he suddenly remembered that Captain Kameda had said that when Okada's brigade was in Wild Boar Ridge, a squadron was ambushed by the New Fourth Army and all of them were killed in a very short period of time.

At that time, they still didn't believe that as an imperial army, they naturally had the capital to be proud of. You must know that since setting foot on the Chinese battlefield, only the Chinese army has been chased by itself like a rabbit and fled, and even if the imperial army is ambushed, the Chinese army will not want to eat itself without an hour or two of fierce fighting.

His squadron was an example of this, a small squadron was besieged by a battalion of the Chinese army, and the two sides fought fiercely for two hours, and finally the imperial army, with its excellent fighting qualities, managed to break out of the siege at the cost of 12 casualties, and inflicted more than 50 casualties on the Chinese army.

Thinking of this, the third squadron leader had a gloomy face, and began to inspect the battlefield with his subordinates, of course, the commanding heights around Tangjiagou, he had sent soldiers to control.

The demise of the 4th Squadron made the 3rd Squadron Leader have to be cautious.

Looking at the dead soldiers one by one, the heart of the third squadron leader began to drip blood.

At this moment, a military cao ran over, looked at him excitedly and said, "Report to the captain, we found Captain Haruta, he is still alive." ”

"What? You found Haruta-kun? Where is he? Take me to see it. When the third squadron leader heard that his subordinates had found the fourth squadron leader Haruta, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly said.

Subsequently, under the leadership of his subordinates, he came to Haruta's side.

By this time, Haruta had risen from under several dead soldiers who were pressed down on him. Just now, the soldiers of the third squadron searched the battlefield and heard a faint groan, so those soldiers hurriedly searched, and finally found Captain Haruta alive under the bodies of several dead soldiers.

Speaking of this Haruta is also a fortune teller, when the machine gun of the ambush sounded, the soldiers around him blocked the fatal bullets for him, and then because he fell to the ground all of a sudden, plus the soldiers who were hit by the bullets fell to him one after another, and the unconscious Haruta was actually pressed by the soldiers.

The fifth company that cleaned the battlefield, because of the urgency of time, did not notice that there was a living devil officer under the pile of devils.

Seeing that Haruta was lost, the third squadron leader walked over and asked with concern, "Haruta-kun, are you okay?" ”

Haruta had come to his senses by this time, but until now he didn't believe his eyes, and he didn't believe that his squadron had been wiped out.

Hearing the question of the third squadron leader, his eyes swept over the corpses of the soldiers, and he suddenly hugged his head and cried bitterly.

After a while, Haruta stopped crying bitterly and gave a brief introduction to the third squadron leader.

The leader of the 3rd Squadron couldn't help but gasp when he heard that the New Fourth Army had concentrated at least 20 light machine guns and two heavy machine guns to ambush the 3rd Squadron in Tangjiagou.

At this time, he finally understood why the 4th Squadron was beaten to a point where it was powerless, and it was completely annihilated in less than 20 minutes. The terrain of Tangjiagou is unobstructed, and the New Fourth Army has carefully designed the firing range of each machine gun in advance, and more than 20 machine guns are firing at the same time.

You must know that even the Empire-made crooked machine guns can fire 100 rounds a minute, while the Czech light machine guns used by the Chinese army have a faster firing rate, not to mention the two Empire-made Type 92 heavy machine guns.

Not to mention that a machine gun fires 100 rounds a minute, it fires 50 rounds a minute, and 20 light guns can fire 1,000 rounds in a minute, and the Springfield squadron has less than 200 people, and a soldier has to spread five rounds of ammunition in a minute, not counting the two more terrifying heavy machine guns.

"Haruta-kun, you said that the New Fourth Army put in more than twenty machine guns at once? Where did the New Fourth Army get so many machine guns? ”

"I read that right, at least twenty machine guns are firing heavily at us, and most of these machine guns are produced in the Empire." Haruta said depressedly.

"Alas, don't be sad, if that's the case, it's not your fault." The leader of the 3rd squadron comforted him and immediately reported to Kameda on the radio.

Kameda couldn't help but gasp when he learned that the 4th Squadron, except for Squadron Commander Haruta, had all been loyal to the emperor.

He immediately ordered the 3rd Squadron to move closer to the main forces, and at the same time ordered the troops attacking to the east to slow down.

If Liu Tianshu eats another squadron, then there will be no need to fight this battle again.

When Nobuyuki Matsushita learned that the 4th Squadron of the Kameda Brigade had been ambushed by the 16th Regiment in Tangjiagou and had been completely annihilated, his face was immediately so cold that it seemed to be dripping water.

Just a few minutes ago, he received a report that the Imperial Allied Army remaining in the west of Banqiaoji had been suddenly attacked by the New Fourth Army, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.

It's just that the Okada Brigade, the closest unit to the Imperial Allied Army garrison west of Banqiaoji, took an hour to arrive for reinforcements.

However, Okada's brigade was ambushed by the New Fourth Army at Wild Boar Ridge, which was already a serious injury, and if they were allowed to leave Tunliu Village and go south, once they were ambushed by the New Fourth Army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Besides, he didn't believe in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Cooperative Army, who could guarantee that the Imperial Cooperative Army would hold out until the arrival of the second brigade.

Thinking of this, Matsushita Nobuyuki could only order the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army to wait for reinforcements, and comforted him that reinforcements had been sent.

But not long after receiving Kameda's report, the Imperial Association military camp lost contact with the wing headquarters.

It seems that the Imperial Association army stationed in the west of Banqiaoji is already more than lucky. When Nobuyuki Matsushita thought of this, his head couldn't help but ache.

This time, on the orders of the brigade commander, he led the troops to encircle and suppress the 16 th Regiment of the New Fourth Army, which was originally a matter of being captured, but who knew that as soon as the war began, the second brigade suffered heavy losses of civilians, and now the first brigade lost another squadron, and the Imperial Allied Army, which cooperated with the battle, lost almost half.

If this situation develops, I am afraid that by the time I surround Liu Tianshu, the troops will have almost all casualties.

Thinking of this, Nobuyuki Matsushita had no choice but to order the First Brigade to suspend the pursuit to the east and stay in Wangjiadian. The third brigade moved closer to Wangjiadian, and its own wing headquarters also rushed to Wangjiadian.

However, the second brigade was placed in Mitaniba by Nobuyuki Matsushita.

In any case, he captured Liu Tianshu's Laozheng Wangjiadian, and at the same time occupied Sanguba, and successfully squeezed Liu Tianshu's 16th regiment to Sujiatang.

Although he suffered heavy losses, he also had a reluctant explanation to the brigade commander. (To be continued.) )
