Seeing that a squadron of devils happened to step into the open field, Liu Tianshu raised his rifle and put a devil squad leader with a command knife in the crosshairs, and then pulled the trigger steadily.

At the same time, he shouted and fired.

Xu Yongdong, who was guarding beside him, waved his hand, and the six heavy machine guns of the machine gun company suddenly spat out tongues of fire towards the open field, and the six chains of fire carnivaled in the open field, as if strings of metal were dancing.

Zhao Yuan didn't expect that there would be an ambush around Tubalu, and the devil who walked into the open ground fell a large piece in a blink of an eye, and the rest hurriedly looked for cover and lay on the ground, holding a gun and preparing to shoot back.

It's a pity that after Liu Tianshu used light and heavy machine guns to block the entire open area, he thought that the devil would lie down on the spot to counterattack, so he aimed all the artillery fire of the mortar squad here. At this time, under the command of Shu Zhi, the four mortars began to fire continuously towards the open field, and those devil soldiers lay on the ground, shells exploded around them, and from time to time the broken limbs of their companions were lifted into the air.

Watching the soldiers of the Imperial Kingdom fall screaming and falling in the rain of artillery fire and bullets, Zhao Yuan's eyes were dripping blood, he never dreamed that Tubalu would have such powerful firepower, and his squadron of more than 180 officers and soldiers was trapped in this open field, as if they were lambs waiting to be hunted.

It's a pity that under such a fierce blow, his soldiers couldn't fight back at all except lying on the ground.

And even lying on the ground, because there was no cover, it was directly blown up by the constantly falling shells.

In the blink of an eye, less than a third of the Imperial soldiers of a squadron were left.

Some of the devils who had been blown to the ground, led by a fierce squad leader, desperately got up from the ground and rushed towards the side of the ditch while firing, in a vain attempt to occupy a small hill and create an opportunity for the squadron to break through and join the Imperial Allied Army in front.

It's a pity that these more than 30 devils just stood up and rushed to the top of the mountain north of the ditch before they were hit by a rain of bullets sprinkled from the mountain, screaming and falling to the ground covered in blood.

Liao Deyuan commanded the Imperial Cooperative Army under his command to chase the fleeing Tuba Road through the open field, and when he saw those Tuba Road desperately fleeing towards the east of the ditch, a trace of killing pleasure flashed in his eyes. It's a pity that just when he was about to catch up with those dirt roads, a dense gunfire suddenly sounded behind him, and this gunfire was not the sound of the 38 big cover and the official sound of the middle school, but the sound of the Japanese-style 92 heavy machine gun and the crooked handle.

He couldn't help but be surprised, turned his head to look, and suddenly became dumbfounded.

What appeared in front of him was the squadron of the Imperial Army that was hunted by six heavy machine guns and three crooked guns, and he saw countless murderous devils, who were covered in blood by the bullets that rained down, and even more devils were hit by bullets and flew out.

When did the Dirt Eight Road have such ferocious firepower?

Six heavy machine guns completely blocked all the escape routes of the devils on the open ground, and these devils could not escape at all except for lying on the ground and resisting desperately.

But the explosion of the mortar shells that followed sounded the death knell for these devils.

Seeing that the devils kept falling in the rain of bullets, and the entire open land became a hell on earth, Liao Deyuan's heart tightened, and he subconsciously ordered the troops to stop the pursuit and prepare to turn to the Tuba Road on both sides of the attack ditch to rescue those surviving imperial troops.

If all the imperial army is shattered, but his imperial army is safe and sound, I really don't know what Commander Zhang and the little devil will do to themselves.

Liao Deyuan's thought finally sent him to the road of no return.

Seeing that the Imperial Association Army stopped the pursuit and turned around one after another under the order of a commander, Liu Sutang still didn't understand the purpose of this Imperial Association Army officer. While ordering the Fifth Company to prepare to shoot at the Imperial Army, he asked Hou Guoquan to shout at the puppet army.

"Brothers, I am Hou Guoquan, Chinese do not fight Chinese, think about what crime you suffered from the little devils? Think about your loved ones, you don't want to work for the little devils anymore. As long as you lay down your arms, the Eighth Route Army will not embarrass you, and if you still want to die for the Japanese, those devils will be your fate. Hou Guoquan looked at the Imperial Cooperative Army in the ditch and shouted.

At this time, I heard a few people in the Imperial Association Army whispering: "It's Brother Hou, it's really Brother Hou." ”

"What are you yelling about? Tu Balu is a tactic to attack the heart, don't fall for them, Hou Guoquan has taken refuge in Balu, he is no longer your brother. Brothers, there are not many people in Tubalu, as long as I rescue the imperial army, I will be rewarded. Seeing that some of his subordinates began to waver, Liao Deyuan hurriedly shouted while waving his pistol.

At this time, Hao Mengxuan had already come to Liu Sutang and Hou Guoquan's side.

"Company commander, squad leader Hao, that person is Liao Deyuan, a confidant of Zhang Deming." Hou Guoquan saw that under the coercion of Liao Deyuan, some of the imperial troops began to raise their guns.

"Hehe, I really don't know how to lift ******, since I want to die, I will fulfill him." When Hao Mengxuan heard that the officer was Liao Deyuan, the battalion commander of Zhang Deming's cronies, he immediately said with disdain.

While speaking, he raised the 38 big cover in his hand, and turned the muzzle of the gun to Liao Deyuan, who was coercing his subordinates, a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, it was a piece of cake for him at all. After Hao Mengxuan covered Liao Deyuan's forehead, he immediately pulled the trigger, and a bullet flew out at high speed and drilled into the middle of Liao Deyuan's forehead. Liao Deyuan's body was stiffened, and then he slowly fell backwards, and the Imperial Association Army surrounding him immediately screamed in fright when they saw that the battalion commander was killed.

"The battalion commander is dead, the battalion commander has been beaten to death."

Hou Guoquan immediately seized the opportunity and shouted: "Brothers, Liao Deyuan, a traitor, is dedicated to working for the devil, how many villagers have been harmed, he is innocent, brothers, you can no longer be obsessed and continue to be a traitor." ”

A platoon commander who usually had a good relationship with Hou Guoquan saw that the battalion commander was dead, and immediately said with a heart: "Brothers, the little devil doesn't treat us as human beings, I've had enough of this evil breath." Lao Tzu is gone, Lao Tzu defected to Brother Hou, if anyone wants to defect to Brother Hou as the Eighth Road, follow me. ”

After speaking, the platoon commander turned his voice and shouted at Hou Guoquan: "Brother Hou, we are determined to follow you as an eighth road and fight devils." ”

A group of Imperial Concordants began to shout along.

The rest of the Imperial Association army saw that the battalion commander had been killed, that is, the remaining three company commanders, and saw that their brothers did not want to work for the devil, so they naturally did not dare to force it at this time.

Battalion Commander Liao is a role model, if he orders his subordinates to fight eight roads, maybe the next person to see Hades will be himself.

As for the life and death of the Japanese, it's a matter of Lao Tzu's, and it's good that these Japanese are dead.

Zhaoyuan saw that the Imperial Alliance army in the distance was slow to come to the rescue, and his subordinates were still falling. The most hateful thing is that these dirt roads are only swept with machine guns, and they are not fair to the heroic Imperial Japanese Army.

Seeing that in less than fifteen minutes, there were less than fifty people left in one of his squadrons, Zhao Yuan glanced at Dongfang with hatred, ignored the opposition of his subordinates, suddenly took off his shirt, waved his command knife, and shouted to the east to kill Gege.

The devil, who was lucky enough not to be killed, immediately jumped up from the ground in desperation, and rushed towards the east while firing with his rifle.

It's a pity that under the blockade of the heavy machine guns, Zhaoyuan's decisive charge seemed to be a dish that rushed forward on its own initiative, the heavy machine guns of the machine gun company shouted happily, and the shells of the mortar squad were still flying.

The team that Zhaoyuan had finally assembled was blown to pieces, and in the dense rain of bullets, like autumn leaves, they continued to fall one by one.

Zhao Yuan waved the command knife, just rushed forward five steps, and was hit by a string of bullets, **** suddenly appeared several blood holes, blood gushed out from the hole, Zhao Yuan felt like he had been hit hard, looked down at the mouth of the hole that was bleeding, and then fell down weakly.

Just when those Imperial Cooperative troops were forced to take the initiative to hand over their guns to the independent battalion, all the devils in the Zhaoyuan squadron were killed, and then, Liu Sutang sent a platoon to clean up the battlefield. The warriors stepped into the open and saw that the dirt beneath their feet was soaked, and the smell of blood and choking smoke filled the air.

According to the instructions of the company commander, the soldiers of this platoon collected all the weapons, ammunition and other useful things left by the devils, and as for the corpses of the little devils, they were placed there in a mess.

Liu Tianshu saw that all the devils were eliminated, and those imperial alliance troops also took the initiative to exchange guns, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This battle proved the power of the inverted triangle machine gun position, as long as the terrain is favorable and the arrangement is appropriate, the machine gun company can completely inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

For example, in the ambush battle of Jinshuigou, except for the seven soldiers of the fifth company who were responsible for the task of luring the enemy, only ten soldiers were injured by stray bullets.

The result of the independent battalion was to eliminate all the devils who went from Yangcun to Yaping Village, and one battalion of the Imperial Association Army took the initiative to surrender.

Defeat the enemy along the way, and the pressure on the independent battalion was immediately reduced.

Only in this battle, the mortar squad's shells were consumed by two-thirds, and the ammunition of the machine guns was also consumed by half.

Fortunately, a batch of weapons and ammunition was seized from the battlefield, which can be regarded as compensation.

When evacuating Jinshuigou, Liu Tianshu found Hou Guoquan and inquired in detail about the situation of Liao Deyuan's three company commanders, and after learning that two company commanders had a close relationship with Zhang Deming, he sent someone to find the two company commanders of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and then took out a letter and asked them to send it to Zhang Deming immediately, and at the same time told the devils to send someone to Jinshuigou to collect the bodies of those little devils who were killed.

The two company commanders didn't expect Liu Tianshu to let them go back, and immediately pretended to be grateful and said that they would definitely deliver the letter, and they would also persuade Regiment Commander Zhang to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army.

The two company commanders only thought about how to return to Zhang Deming's side and continue to eat and drink spicy food, so they naturally did not want to stay on the side of the Eighth Route Army.

And Liu Tianshu, in order to better transform those soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army, did not want these two guys to stay in the army. (To be continued.) )
