Chapter Thirty-Six: Artificial Death Rays!

Three clamps, an inconspicuous place located in the territory of the Taifu Temple Banner. Pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info but this place is the only way to pass through the Taifu Temple business travel. In the early years, horse bandits often ambushed and plundered passing merchants.

After receiving the combat order from He Zhengdao, the 3rd Infantry Division finally chose this ambush site after some reconnaissance and on-site investigation. The reason is that the terrain here is relatively easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is convenient for a large number of cavalry and infantry to pass.

The mountain beams on both sides of the three clamps can also provide the best cover for the ambush troops. It is only necessary to block the relatively narrow exits at both ends, and then the troops who enter it will not be able to escape.

The only thing to pay attention to is whether the puppet Mongolian army will pass through here. If the puppet Mongolian army chooses to detour, then it will become pointless to set up an ambush here. For this reason, the 3rd Infantry Division on other roads also arranged blocking troops.

Accompanying the cavalry and infantry of the puppet Mongolian army marching separately, although Lu Zhencao, who felt that he couldn't finish the pot at once, also knew that it would be relatively easier to let the main force of one of his divisions clean up a cavalry division.

If you want to deal with the puppet Mongolian army that has left the city, then in terms of troop superiority, the third infantry division is actually not superior. If we fight like that, I'm afraid it will depend on whose troops are superior.

Now the puppet Mongolian army suddenly chose to divide its troops, which undoubtedly provided the third infantry division with opportunities to break through. The only thing to note is that the speed must be fast. Before the puppet Mongolian army can react, it must be annihilated in the territory of Taifu Temple.

In order to gain time, Li Shouxin, who led his most elite cavalry division on the road alone, also knew that this trip was difficult. But as long as he can rush to Duolun to carry out the rescue, I believe he will be able to get a great credit.

Thinking that soon, the Kwantung Army might add an official to him, Li Shouxin also felt very much looking forward to it. For a speculator like him, taking risks is also common. It's just that he's lucky every time.

Considering that when the troops were marching, they often encountered the reconnaissance and cavalry posts of the Eighth Route Army, and Li Shouxin led the troops alone. A large number of rangers were also sent to explore the way for the main cavalry units to find the fastest way to ride.

After coming into contact in the past two days, Li Shouxin found that most of the Eighth Route Army blocking their advance was a small number of cavalry and guerrillas. These teams tend to plant a few mines and fire a few rounds of black guns, and then they will quickly retreat before they can counterattack.

For this kind of attack, Li Shouxin is undoubtedly annoyed. But he also knew that the Eighth Route Army wanted to stop their rapid march in this way and buy time for the main force that was currently attacking Duolun.

After all, he is also the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army appointed by the Kwantung Army, and his command level naturally has some. Moreover, Li Shouxin has also led troops in grassroots units, and has also competed with some warlords, and he also has certain merits in operational command.

In the face of the constant news from the ranger post, Li Shouxin, who led the main force to follow up, changed the direction of travel from time to time. In addition, they suddenly accelerated their march overnight, and Li Shouxin believed that if they did so, they would also catch the Eighth Route Army off guard.

In his opinion, the most likely place to encounter an ambush should be before he is about to arrive in Doron. As for the evening, he believed that even if the Eighth Route Army wanted to redeploy the blockade, it would be too late.

Therefore, in the face of the attacks of those eight-way scouts, Li Shouxin did not pay much attention to them many times. Commanding his elite cavalry division, he continued to advance along the route he had determined.

Although he occasionally received some resistance, under Li Shouxin's strict orders, his henchmen were also very hard-working. Often, after a delay of a few minutes, the blocking force of the Eighth Route Army would quickly retreat.

Until Li Shouxin arrived at the three clamps, looking at this mountain beam that he had walked many times before, Li Shouxin also said cautiously: "Our scout sentry has passed?" Did you find anything wrong? ”

'Commander, our reconnaissance company fought a guerrilla squad of the Eighth Route Army. After breaking a few people, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route went into the mountains. Our men searched twice and found nothing out of the ordinary! ’

'Where's the exit?' ’

'I've seen it too!' No problem! Our attack this time was very sudden, and I believe that even if the Eighth Route Army knew about it, it would be difficult to guess that we would take this road. What's more, there is not much time left until dawn. ’

The staff officers around him also knew what Li Shouxin was worried about, and quickly expressed his judgment. In the face of the staff officer's words, Li Shouxin no longer hesitated, and quickly ordered the troops to quickly pass through the three clamps.

Of course, he can also not go down this path. If you can take a detour, you will have to delay it for at least one to two hours. Most importantly, in those places, the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army were also found, and it was only impossible to pass through quickly.

And the three clamps in front of him, although the terrain is a little dangerous. However, in addition to the mountain beams on both sides, the middle zone is very open, which is very suitable for cavalry to charge quickly. As long as they are fast, they will not be able to pass all in half an hour.

With Li Shouxin's order, the puppet Mongolian cavalry who stayed outside the three clamps for a short time soon rushed into the three clamps in formation. And Lu Zhencao, who was staying on the mountain beam at the moment, was also relieved to see this scene.

The same quickly ordered: "Order the three regiments to start tightening their pockets!" ”

Just as the cavalry division passed through the open area of this valley, several officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route who were lurking in the grass nest at the foot of the mountain beam quietly watched these cavalry galloping quickly on the flat ground of the valley.

When a large number of cavalry entered the open area, one of the platoon commanders of the Eighth Route Army immediately said: "Engineer platoon, detonate!" ”

The platoon commander who personally pressed one of the detonators also quickly saw other sappers who pressed the detonator one after another. At the moment when the detonator was pressed, a loud roar suddenly sounded on the originally open and flat passage.

Huge fireballs rushed from the ground, and the huge sound and explosion shock wave made the unprepared puppet Mongolian cavalry scream and fall to the ground in embarrassment. The screams of people and the screams of horses make this place a hellish scene!

The puppet Mongolian army, which had planned to pass through the valley quickly, did not expect that under this open field, a large number of explosives that could be activated and exploded were buried in advance. When the bomb exploded, you can imagine how tragic that scene was.

Li Shouxin, who was also riding in the team, looked at the countless flames that erupted from the ground, and understood that what he was most worried about had happened. Here, the Eighth Route Army really set up an ambush circle.

While marveling at why the Eighth Route Army would set up an ambush here in advance, Li Shouxin still shouted: "Don't stop, continue to rush in the direction of the exit." Just break out of the valley and we'll be alive! Keep rushing! ”

Looking at these surviving pseudo-Mongolian cavalry, they continued to rush forward desperately, regardless of it. Lu Zhencao let out a sneer and said, "It's all in my bowl and you still want to escape, it's really wishful thinking!" Let the machine gun company and fire! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Three fiery and bright flares quickly flew from the mountain beam to the camp of the puppet Mongolian cavalry in the open area. Seeing these three flares, Li Shouxin's heart fell again.

He knew very well that the Eighth Route Army, which ambushed them this time, was only afraid that it was not the small force that had been harassed before, but the real elite of the Eighth Route Army. But the current situation does not allow him to hesitate, so he can only rush forward!

It was also at this time that a scene that shocked Li Shouxin and his cavalry appeared. From the ridges on either side, there was a sudden deafening sound of gunfire and a string of life-seeking chains that panicked all the cavalry.

These chains of fire completely blocked the route of the cavalry's advance, and the cavalry that crashed into the chain of fire was completely torn apart by these chains of fire. Such a scene made the cavalry who followed behind gasp.

At this time, Li Shouxin also said bitterly: "Damn, these eight roads are really ruthless, they actually use anti-aircraft machine guns to beat cavalry!" ”

As Li Shouxin said, in order to block the passage for these cavalry to escape, and not to expose their ambush traces in advance. Lu Zhencao thought of the anti-aircraft machine gun in the division, and used this anti-aircraft machine gun to block the fleeing pseudo-Mongolian cavalry.

Halfway up the mountain on both sides, Lu Zhencao deployed antiaircraft machine guns to form a crossfire network, directly blocking the open land completely. With these anti-aircraft machine guns there, no matter how many cavalrymen rush into the fire net, they will be torn to shreds by machine gun bullets!

In the face of this artificially created death ray, even the most heroic cavalry knew that they would be dead and lifeless when they rushed over. In this case, they had to stop their charge, thinking about whether to break through from the other side of the circle.

As a result, they were speechless, and in the roar of machine guns, there were also suddenly lit torches from the mountain beams on both sides, which should have been calm. Under the light of the torches, countless Eighth Route troops began to gallop down from the mountain beams.

'Commander, we are surrounded by eight roads, what should we do?' ’

'Defend on the spot, send someone to see if you can turn back!' ’

But just when Li Shouxin ordered to defend on the spot, there was also a thunderous sound of horses' hooves at the entrance that should have been uninhabited. Hearing these voices, Li Shouxin also knew that they were surrounded by groups.

'It's over! It's really over this time! ’

Li Shouxin, who let out such a sad cry in his heart, could only continue in his mouth: "Stack those horse corpses and build a simple fortification. Wait, if we have the chance, let's see if we can negotiate with the Eight Roads! ”

Although he knew that this was unlikely, Li Shou still had some luck in his confidence. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army, and if he announces his joining the Eighth Route Army, it is believed that it will also be a great blow to the Japanese army.

At least Li Shouxin knew that many of the officers and soldiers captured by the Eighth Route Army in the past who were captured by the puppet Mongolian army would be absorbed by the Eighth Route Army after being educated. Then these elite cavalry under his command did not have such an opportunity.

But he didn't know that for He Zhengdao and Lu Zhencao, he, a traitor with a heinous crime, couldn't enjoy the treatment of a prisoner at all. Even if he commands these cavalry, I'm afraid that He Zhengdao will only accept it if he has to screen and educate him.

After all, many of these Li Shouxin's cronies and subordinates have the blood of innocent people on their hands. In this case, how could He Zhengdao easily spare them! (To be continued.) )
