Just when the magical battalion was still arranging fortifications halfway up the mountainside, as the vanguard of Wei Lihuang's 14th Army, the Diao De Star Cluster chased after the sea with righteous spirit.

Just now, a vanguard battalion of the 14th Army made Commander Cai of the 19th Route Army ambush, losing more than 200 people, one battalion was disabled, the battalion commander was withdrawn, and all the soldiers were transferred to Diao Dexing's regiment.

Although this Diao Dexing's skills are not high, he is loyal to Wei Lihuang, and when Wei Lihuang was removed by Commander Jiang several times, he stayed at home with Wei Lihuang out of righteousness.

Now in order to exterminate the Fujian rebels, Wei Lihuang has been activated again, and this Diao Dexing is naturally rising, not only last year, he was just a battalion commander, but now he will become a regiment commander as soon as he comes back.

Now Commander Wei Lihuang personally ordered Diao Dexing to lead their regiment as the vanguard of the whole army, and was once again responsible for continuing to pursue the remnants of the 19th Route Army.

The pioneer battalion was anxious when it first came out of the city, and it suffered defeat under carelessness, and now it will not suffer such a loss. On both sides of this road, there is an endless stretch of low farmland, where can you hide the ambush soldiers?

Diao Dexing, who was sitting in the Chinese army and riding on a tall horse, was fantasizing about catching Jiang and Cai with his own hands, when he suddenly heard a burst of fierce gunfire and explosions coming from the direction of the march of the sharp soldier company in front.

The soldiers of the whole regiment immediately stopped advancing, Diao Dexing immediately sent soldiers to the front to inquire about the situation, and after a while, a signal soldier hurriedly ran back from the front.

"Report to the regimental seat, the top soldier company was attacked by a small unit of the 19th Route Army, and more than half of the company's casualties have lost its combat effectiveness, please instruct." The signal corps reported loudly.

"What? At this time, the Nineteenth Route Army still dares to fight our ambush? I don't think they want to escape to the sea, so don't blame me for not talking about brotherhood, and the whole regiment is moving forward with all its might. Diao Dexing ordered loudly.

More than 1,000 people in the whole regiment immediately ran forward at full speed, and soon everyone ran past the place where the spearhead company was attacked. It turned out that the Spearhead Company was attacked by a huge cluster grenade buried in the middle of the road, resulting in dozens of casualties.

When Diao Dexing passed by here, he also loudly scolded the 19th Route Army, he must avenge the brothers, and told the brothers of the artillery company to work harder, everyone must catch up in the shortest possible time and drive the 19th Route Army into the sea.

Not long after running away, one of the soldiers in the middle of the team happened to sink one foot into a small pit, and then heard another explosion on both sides of the road a few hundred meters behind the soldier.

It turned out that it was Wang Dong, the commander of the first battalion and a company, who planted a series of mines on both sides of the road, which were detonated. They also detonated hundreds of grenades at more than a dozen explosive points, and the rumbling grenades flew everywhere, and many grenades were blown into the pile of people and detonated, and thousands of shrapnel were rampant in the march team several hundred meters long.

With just this round of explosions, the loss of Diao Dexing's full formation was great. When Diao Dexing finally got up from the ground, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, and his big white horse was already lying on the ground struggling with more than a dozen shrapnel in his body.

On the march of several hundred meters, more than 1,000 soldiers of the 14th Army were blown up on their backs by hundreds of grenades, and this explosion alone killed more than 100 people of their regiment and injured several hundred others.

The Xide Star Cluster is the main force that has just been expanded, and it is only 1,200 people, which makes his regiment lose its combat effectiveness all of a sudden.

It was also at this time that Diao Dexing discovered that the pioneer battalion that was attacked last time had only more than 200 people killed or wounded, and his luck was good, he had lost nearly half of his soldiers and horses.

He did not dare to pursue any further, and immediately sent a messenger to report to the large army in the rear, and he could only rescue the wounded here.

At this time, Wei Lihuang, who was supervising the battle in the rear, heard that Diao Dexing's regiment had also been disabled by the 19th Route Army, so he was so angry that he stepped forward and gave the communicator two slaps, and said angrily: "Go back and tell Diao Dexing that I will give him another regiment to reinforce, and if I can't catch up with him to the beach before dark today, I will kill him." ”

Watching the communicator run away in embarrassment. Wei Lihuang was so angry that he scolded again: "This Nineteenth Route Army is really a god--ghost, it's only been a day, and I haven't even seen their faces, so I have disabled one of my regiment's soldiers and horses." When did they have to go through this kind of harm?

Tell the generals of the Nineteenth Route Army who just surrendered today, let them speed up, and I am ready to hand over the task of attacking Cai Tingkai to them. ”

Diao Dexing and the newly reinforced regiment of the Hu Han army joined forces, and the two regiments pursued the sea again, this time they only pursued a few miles before they found the defensive position of the 19th Route Army set up in the middle of the mountain.

Looking at the flat river in front of the defensive position of the 19th Route Army, hundreds of soldiers of the 19th Route Army who were digging trenches saw nearly 2,000 men and horses of the 14th Army chasing after them, and they were immediately frightened and threw down the shovels in their hands and fled in embarrassment.

When Diao Dexing saw this scene, he muttered in his heart, after all, he had just suffered a loss. Originally, he didn't dare to pursue, but the Hu Han army next to him really shouted that the opportunity must not be lost, and the enemy's morale has been lost, and it will be better if he doesn't chase now.

Diao Dexing thought about it, after all, Jiang commanded less than 5,000 people, and his own vanguard had nearly 2,000 people, and there were more than 20,000 troops behind.

However, just in case, he still sent a company to occupy the fortifications halfway up the mountain, and it was not too late to pass through until this company had completely controlled the main road.

Seeing that the brothers of a company slowly climbed into the fortifications halfway up the mountain and were not attacked, the two regiments were overjoyed, and it seemed that it was the troops of the 19th Route Army who had escaped just now.

Now that the enemy has fled, what are we waiting for? Diao Dexing rode on the jujube red horse that he had just exchanged, and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the first company to catch up with the 19th Route Army will be given the first merit, and each person will be rewarded with two pieces of the ocean." Give me a rush! ”

With a wave of their hands, the whole regiment immediately rushed to the hillside, and just as they were about to pass the halfway slope, they heard dozens of rumbling sounds again from the halfway slope.

It turned out that a lot of explosives and grenades were buried in the tunnel fortifications on the hillside. An entire company of soldiers was killed and wounded, and not only that, but almost as soon as the explosion sounded, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared on the top of the distant hillside, light and heavy machine guns were fired at the same time, and countless grenades fell from the sky.

As soon as Diao Dexing saw that something was wrong, he immediately rolled off his war horse again and hid in the ditch next to the road without a figure. At this time, a burst of heavy machine guns on the top of the hill knocked down the vanguard of the two regiments.

As soon as the Nationalist troops in the back saw the strong firepower of the enemy in front, they immediately lay down one after another, and the smart ones had already fired while retreating, and only a few slow-witted ones were still desperately fighting back.

At this moment, another grenade was thrown down the hillside, and at the same time, Commander Diao found that the ditch where he was lying also exploded, and there was an explosion on the left and right sides of his body and behind him.

Although he was not hit by the bomb, he was almost shocked to death by the explosion, and at this time, Diao Dexing couldn't care about being hit by the soldiers of the 19th Route Army. Climbing out of the ditch, he ran behind, and with him hundreds of soldiers fled.

Everyone quickly ran backwards for thousands of meters, and only stopped when they withdrew from the firing range of the 19th Route Army. Diao Dexing panted.

Looking back, it was okay, except for the brothers of the company that occupied the position halfway up the mountain, they did not run back, and most of their own regiment ran back.

But before he could finish rejoicing, he saw a few more soldiers running in the distance, and they were still carrying a person, and when these people ran to his side, Diao Dexing took a look: "My God, the commander of the Hu Han Legion, who was still calling himself a brother and sister just now, is dead!" ”

Looking at the soldiers of the Hu Han Army who were crying in front of him, he was also sad and cried loudly: "What kind of battle is this? As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be anyone in this kind of fighting style in the 19th Route Army. Who is the person opposite? Why is it so difficult? ”

"Report to the regiment, we already know who the other side is, they are from the magical first battalion of the 19th Route Army." A soldier carrying the body of Hu Hanjun said.

"Why? How do you know? Diao Dexing didn't expect that he really knew.

"When we retreated just now, we heard the soldiers of the 19th Route Army rushing down from the mountain shouting, and they were the first to shout, "Magical battalion, win all battles." After that, the charge was launched.

These people are very experienced, and the marksmanship is accurate one by one. There were also dozens of men with machine guns rushing to the front, and they "rushed" us, and hundreds of our brothers were reimbursed by them. ”

"We don't seem to have lost that many people, do we?" Commander Diao asked while counting the soldiers in front of him.

"Your regiment is fine, but our regiment directly reimbursed a battalion of soldiers, not to mention, but also let them cripple a battalion, and even killed our regiment commander Hu, how do you say that the future battle can be fought?" The soldier was also about to cry, the losses were too great.

"If you don't fight, you have to fight, you can't climb this mountain before dark, we all have to be shot." Although Diao Dexing was also scratching his head at the enemy in front of him, he also attacked hard.

After all, the 14th Army is the trump card army of the Central Army, although it has just made the 19th Route Army a little miserable, but seeing that hundreds of native soldiers on the mountainside have reoccupied the defensive position, Commander Diao is not afraid.

The enemy hidden in the shadows is the most terrifying, as long as he can see the enemy, no matter how harmful the enemy is, he dares to fight.

Commander Diao immediately ordered to combine their regiment with the mortar company of the Hu Han Army and choose the best position, and he planned to bombard the soldiers of the 19th Army on the opposite side.

Captain Diao took a telescope and looked around, hey! There was a gentle hillside 500 meters away, that is, outside the range of the 19th Route Army, there was a small hillside blocking the view of the soldiers of the 19th Route Army, which was simply the best artillery position arranged by God.

Without saying anything, the order was given, and the two artillery companies, with a total of twelve mortars, all rushed to the gentle slope, and the soldiers of the other two regiments, who were not injured and could walk, gathered and prepared to attack again.

Although he lost another battalion of men and horses, the two regiments together, with 1,500 men to fight, and artillery support, he was absolutely sure that he would take out the defenders halfway up the mountain.

The artillery position, which could accommodate sixteen mortars, was quickly erected, and hundreds of artillerymen were squatting around the mortars, and the artillerymen were already in full array.

Dozens of boxes of artillery shells were placed not far behind the mortars, the shelling distance had been measured, the mortar's ruler had been calibrated, and the artillery bombardment was launched just after the regiment commander Diao gave the order.

Commander Diao took out his binoculars and looked at the defensive position of the 19th Route Army in the distance again, with a cruel look in his eyes, you miscellaneous troops dare to cause so much trouble to our Central Army, and kill and injure so many of our brothers, this time I will let you be crushed.

Then he nodded to the herald beside him and ordered the shelling to begin. The herald immediately took two small red flags and came to the side of the artillery position.

As soon as the herald raised the red flag in his hand, he heard a dull gunfire in the distance, and then everyone seemed to hear a scream flying past their ears.

Then I saw the herald fall in response, and then I heard a rumbling explosion, and I saw that the best artillery position was lit up with sky-high fire, and then the whole artillery position was plunged into a sea of fire.

Diao Dexing looked at the artillery position in the distance in surprise, what's wrong? Why did there explode there, could it be that the 19th Route Army also set up an ambush there.

Diao Dexing, who was in shock, suddenly noticed a black shadow falling towards him from a high altitude in the distance, and suddenly landed at his feet.

He looked down and saw a melon grenade flying out of nowhere? Still smoking? Then just listening to a bang, Diao Dexing lost consciousness.

Then I heard a terrible cry from the entire battlefield: "Oh no, Commander Diao has been blown to pieces." ”

Then the Magical First Battalion, which was halfway up the mountain, took the initiative to attack the soldiers of the two regiments, and the two soldiers, who had lost their regimental commanders, immediately threw down their weapons and fled.

Wang Zehui, the commander of the second company of the first magical battalion, and Jin Sanpang, the company commander of the machine gun company, led more than 200 people to chase and kill for two kilometers, and then stopped the pursuit because they couldn't run.

Jin Sanpang gasped and said breathlessly to Wang Zehui beside him: "Company Commander Wang, you can't chase anymore, my machine gun is too heavy than your rifle." I'm not suitable for this kind of running. After saying that, Jin Sanpang shouted to all the fighters of the machine gun company.

Wang Zehui also panted and said: "Do you think I want to chase? Lao Tzu hasn't even eaten lunch yet, didn't you see a lot of transport trucks thrown down in front of you?

I guess there's food there, let's go check it out, and if there is, will our camp last two more days. You think we're really just going to have to do it for a day.

I'll bet you, there won't be a few boats on the beach, and we'll have to fight for a few more days to give our commander a little more time to tie up the bamboo platoon. ”

I saw that there were indeed several cars thrown on the side of the road not far ahead. Jin Sanpang extended a thumbs up to Wang Zehui:

"I obey you, your kid's brain is good, not only did he come up with so many ways to lack morality, his comrades-in-arms didn't sacrifice a few, but they killed thousands of enemies, and you even have such good eyes, don't say anything, I will follow you in the future."
