Chapter 261: The Fall of the Mito's Brigade (4)

Shi Hu killed the deputy gunner of the Imperial Association Army with one shot, and then quickly pulled the bolt, and four bullets flew out, knocking down four more of the Imperial Association gunners in front of the mortar, and then quickly put away the gun and ran to another sniper position.

Seeing that his artillery had fallen one after another, the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army was anxious, and immediately glanced around, and then ordered a platoon of the Imperial Association Army to quickly run towards the position where Shi Hu was just now.

Only when someone shoots at that position can they hit those gunners, and the battalion commander of the Imperial Association still has this kind of look.

However, by the time these Imperial Alliance troops cautiously rushed to the top of this mountain, Shi Hu had already run away.

Shi Hu's attack made the mortars of the Imperial Allied Army unable to play a role.

The Japanese squadron leader saw that it was the damn sniper who attacked the artillery again, so that the attacking Imperial Allied army lost its suppressive firepower, and its attack speed naturally slowed down.

Thinking that the captain would rush over with the main force in another hour, the Japanese squadron leader was anxious and immediately ordered a squad to prepare for the attack.

After a while, a squad of devils finished assembling and immediately ran forward.

Shi Qiang, who was lurking on the side with the reconnaissance team, saw that the devil finally moved, and immediately made a move to the soldier to prepare for action.

When the devil squad ran to the back of the Imperial Allied Army, and there were only two squads of Japanese soldiers around the Japanese squadron leader, he suddenly shouted and struck, and with more than 40 fighters of the reconnaissance brigade, he suddenly rushed out of his hiding place and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers in front of him while firing at him.

The fighters of the reconnaissance brigade are all elite and strong generals who have been selected by thousands of people, and they are not only very proficient in special operations, but also very good at this kind of small-scale offensive. Besides, Shi Qiang just attacked the devil as a surprise attack, and he didn't mean to fight with the devil, so as soon as he came up, the long and short guns and light machine guns in his hand splashed bullets at the devil without money, and at the same time, the mortars arranged in the back also began to bombard the devil's position continuously.

In less than three minutes, the mortar fired six shells in one go, and then the gunner quickly dragged the mortar backwards and ran. At the same time, the reconnaissance brigade, which gave the devil a fat beating, immediately retreated quickly.

When the Japanese army came to their senses, these Eighth Route Army, which had come and gone without a trace, disappeared in a blink of an eye.

What was left for the Japanese squadron leader was the corpses of the fallen soldiers everywhere.

Shi Qiang's surprise attack caused more than 40 casualties to the Japanese army.

When the Japanese squadron leader saw this tragic scene, he immediately wanted to cry without tears.

The squad that was about to cross the Imperial Alliance Army and attack the top of the hill stopped its attack because of the sound of gunfire here.

Xu Zhongnan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the Imperial Association Army and the little devil were affected by the gunfire behind him, and they actually stopped attacking.

Now he is only thinking about how to hold the mountain, and if the little devil does not attack, he would rather the two sides not exchange fire for the time being.

His task is to block the retreat of the devils, not to eliminate the devils, although he also longs to destroy more devils in his heart, but compared to blocking the way of the retreat of the Mi Toma brigade, he knows which is more important.

Since Shi Qiang launched an attack behind the devil, he naturally would not stop easily, his reconnaissance team was like a cheetah, surrounding the prey of the Japanese army, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he tore off a piece of fat on the left, and then took a bite on the right side and ripped off a bone.

After the reconnaissance brigade began to attack, Shi Hu immediately seized the opportunity of the devil's confusion and fired constantly at the devil's machine gunners, grenadier and commander, and in less than ten minutes, there were four machine gunners, eight ammunition men, and two devil soldiers, who were killed one after another in his hands.

When the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army saw that the Eighth Route Army was picking on devils, he immediately knew that the Eighth Route Army was merciful to their subordinates, and gradually distanced himself from the devils and moved to the side of the mountain.

Forty minutes later, the Japanese squadron led by Yamazaki was attacked by the reconnaissance brigade flexibly and changeable, killing and wounding more than 80 people, and the remaining 70 or so devils, under the command of the squadron leader, quickly shrank the defensive line and built fortifications in the valley opposite the mountain.

Seeing that the devil switched from offense to defense, Shi Qiang knew that he had no advantage to take advantage of, and immediately withdrew his troops wisely.

When Mi Toma learned that the vanguard had failed to break through the resistance of the Eighth Route Army, the dark clouds in his heart became denser and denser, and he led the troops who had rushed over by forced march to finally join the Japanese army who was struggling to support the north of Wildcat Gully.

As for the Imperial Army, after seeing the main force of the Japanese army arriving, they did not dare to dodge anymore, so they had to slowly lean over.

After listening to the report of the Japanese squadron leader, Mi Toma went to see Yamazaki's corpse again, and finally held a telescope and carefully observed the hill north of Wildcat Gully, and immediately ordered the Imperial Allied Army to be in charge of the flank, the machine gun squadron and the artillery squadron to prepare for fire support in the rear, and the fourth squadron to prepare for the attack.

Judging from all indications, the main force of the Eighth Route Army was coming from all directions, and although the troops sent by the wing to meet them were also rushing to this side, he still felt extremely uneasy in his heart.

Just as he was about to give the order to the troops to attack, a staff officer rushed over.

"Report to the captain, the eight routes that attacked the supply depot in Baima Town have been basically clarified, and it should be done by the Fuyashan Independent Regiment."

"What? Fuyashan Independent Regiment? Liu Tianshu's troops? Although he had already guessed in his heart that Liu Tianshu's independent regiment should have arrived, he still had a trace of luck.

You must know that in this area, there seems to be no second one who dares to attack a large group of Japanese soldiers, except for that Liu Tianshu.

"Yes, according to the exact information from Fuyang, Liu Tianshu has rushed to Rongshan with a section of the Independent Regiment, and we must be careful." The staff officer said cautiously.

"Eight Ge, damn Liu Tianshu, order the troops, immediately launch an attack on the hill in front, be sure to break through the blocking of the Eighth Road before Liu Tianshu's main force arrives." Mi Toma felt a rage in his heart.

If his troops are blocked to the north of Wildcat Gully, it is very likely that they will be besieged by Liu Tianshu's Independent Regiment and Rongshan Independent Regiment, and it will be difficult for the troops who come to meet him to join him.

Five minutes later, a squadron of devils with guns in hand rushed towards Xu Zhongnan's position, and at the same time, the Japanese army's 92 infantry guns also began to fire at the top of the mountain.

Xu Zhongnan saw that the devil seemed to have made a bloody investment this time, and immediately gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers to enter the position and prepare to block the enemy.

When the devils who charged forward arrived three hundred meters away from Xu Zhongnan's position, they immediately dispersed and ran forward in a straggler formation, and at the same time, on their flanks, the Imperial Association army was also pouring out.

All of a sudden, under the hill north of the wildcat ditch, I saw human figures flickering, and the snow-bright bayonets reflected the cold light, and a murderous atmosphere filled the entire mountain.

The soldiers of the Sixth Company, who were guarding the main position, knew that this bloody battle was inevitable, so they all put the grenades and bullets in front one by one with a calm face, and their eyes were fixed on the devils who were getting closer and closer.

As for the anti-artillery, they didn't care about it at this time, and when they could only hear the shells flying, they immediately lay down on the side of the trench.

Shi Qiang saw that the devil's 92 infantry artillery kept firing shells at Xu Zhongnan's position, and he was in a hurry, and hurriedly made a gesture to Shi Hu lurking on the other side, and at the same time asked the only mortar in the reconnaissance brigade to set up behind a small hill, and after lying on the hill and observing carefully, he resolutely ordered the gunner to open fire.

As the mortar shell slid into the barrel, after a soft sound, the shell flew out of the air and flew straight towards the position of the devil's 92nd artillery. The devil artilleryman, who was concentrating on firing the shells, heard the whistling sound of the shells in the sky, broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted in his mouth: "Quick, lie down, shelling." ”

These artillerymen were all experienced veterans, and as soon as they heard the sound of the shells whistling, they knew that the shells were flying towards their firing positions, and the two sharp artillerymen immediately pushed the guns to one side and ran desperately for a few meters, and then lay on their stomachs on the ground.

The artillery shells fired by the reconnaissance brigade fell to the ground, and with a violent explosion, a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the artillery position of the devils, and the two artillery pieces immediately flew into the air.

It's just the devil's infantry artillery, because two artillerymen sacrificed their lives to push, and they actually escaped.

The devil's other 92 infantry gun, reacted at this time, immediately turned the muzzle, and quickly fired two shots in a row towards the estimated position of the Eighth Route Army mortar.

Fortunately, Shi Qiang's mortar was hidden behind the mountain, and the devil estimated the counterattack and failed to hit.

The mortar men of the reconnaissance brigade, seeing that the devil's 92 infantry artillery began to counterattack, had to move quickly.

At this time, the Japanese army of a squad that reacted had already rushed towards the mountain, and Shi Qiang saw this, so he had to retreat back with the reconnaissance team.

After retreating three hundred meters, Shi Qiang immediately ordered the mortar gunners to quickly set up their guns and target the opposite hill.

When the devil appeared on the mountain, Shi Qiang immediately ordered the gunner to open fire, a few shells passed, and a few pillars of smoke were blown up on the mountain, and the devil who rushed up the mountain was attacked, and immediately lay down on the spot, but unfortunately it was still a little late, and more than ten devils were directly torn apart by the shells.

When Mi Fu saw that the imperial soldiers who rushed up the hill were attacked by despicable Chinese shells, his eyes immediately turned red, and he ordered another squadron to quickly rush to the hill north of Wildcat Gully, striving to take the hill in front with the squadron that launched the charge with thunderous movements.

As soon as the devil rushed closer, the two sides immediately fell into a bloody battle of life and death, both sides were red-eyed, and they didn't care about the bullets flying around them, only thinking about killing one more enemy before they died.

So, on the battlefield, after a soldier of the Sixth Company killed two devils, he was immediately hit by the devils who rushed later, and then fell headlong on the ground.

In less than ten minutes of fierce fighting, twenty soldiers fell in the sixth company, and the light machine guns in the company were directly knocked out by the devil's grenadiers in less than ten minutes.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, Xu Zhongnan was dripping blood in his heart, and after firing two shots in a row with a shell gun, he shouted loudly: "Comrades, the little devil wants to pass through here, we are the Sixth Steel Company, even if we die, we will die on the battlefield." Comrades, hit me hard. ”

In the blink of an eye, he emptied the bullets in the shell gun, and when he saw that the devil had rushed to a distance of thirty meters, he immediately grabbed the grenade, pulled the lead, and then quickly threw it forward.

The remaining twenty or so fighters were also full of grief and anger at this time, and they grabbed the grenades around them desperately and threw them at the rushing devils. (To be continued.) )
