Chapter Ninety-Two: Victory in the First Battle

"Company Commander Wang, transport these dug up soil to the back, otherwise the enemy will find out," Liu Hua immediately reminded when he saw the commander of a battalion and a company piling up the excavated soil directly on the edge of the trench.

"Yes, Brigadier." Company Commander Wang reacted immediately.

"Also, get some hay and put branches on top of the bunker after you hide it, so that the enemy can't find out that there are people hiding here." Liu Hua continued to remind.

In this way, Liu Hua took the political commissar and chief of staff to inspect and correct everywhere, and the morning passed quickly. "Report to the brigade commander, a regiment called, the enemy unit has been found, a total of 200 mules and horses of supplies, the combat personnel have a squad of cavalry units, a reinforced squadron, a total of more than 300 people, it is expected that there will be two more hours to reach the ambush position."

"Order, all units enter the position, let go of the enemy's cavalry squad, attack the enemy's reinforced squadron, reconnaissance battalion, guard battalion assemble, intercept the enemy's cavalry squad at the head of Changshengkou, and tell Bruce Lee and Liu Xiaogang that I want the equipment of the devil's cavalry squad, don't hurt the war horse." For the sudden extra cavalry squad, Liu Hua immediately became excited, just thinking about expanding the cavalry company into a cavalry battalion, and the equipment will come soon, hehe, more than 40 Oriental war horses! Liu Hua began to giggle again.

In order to achieve a complete victory in his first battle against the enemy, Liu Hua was very cautious, and after all the troops entered the position, Liu Hua took the guards to walk on the road twice. After ensuring that nothing went wrong, Liu Hua walked into the command headquarters, picked up the telescope and stared at the opening of the ambush circle, according to the reconnaissance of the cavalry company, except for a cavalry squad 500 meters away from the main force as the avant-garde, the devil no longer arranged a reconnaissance unit, but due to the attack of the Pingxingguan ambush on the Yue army, it was still constantly carried out fire reconnaissance.

Soon, a pair of cavalry appeared in Liu Hua's binoculars, "Here." Liu Hua shouted to the political commissar next to him, the chief of staff. Both picked up the binoculars at the same time. looked in the direction pointed by Liu Hua.

Sure enough, a group of more than 40 cavalry slowly walked towards the ambush circle, looked behind, and the main force of the enemy, which stretched for a mile, also appeared in the field of vision of Liu Hua and others, "The army is really well-trained, I hope the casualties of the soldiers are not too large!" Political Commissar Guan Xiangying sighed.

Waiting was the most grinding, and several top commanders just waited with binoculars and watched. Finally, the vanguard of the enemy entered the ambush circle of our army, the enemy cavalry squad walked out of the encirclement, the main forces of the enemy army all entered the encirclement, and the cavalry squad entered the ambush circle of the reconnaissance battalion guard battalion

"Brigade Commander, let's fight." The commissar reminded.

"Send a signal" "Bang bang bang" emitted a signal flare into the air, and then, a fierce gunshot rang out from Changshengkou, Liu Hua always held a telescope and stared at the enemy troops, for the first round of shooting, Liu Hua was very satisfied, at least 100 devils were beaten into a honeycomb, and almost all the commanders on the horses fell down with their chests covered at the same time.

After all, it was the first batch of troops to invade China, and the reaction of the army was very fast, after the first round of shooting was completed, there was no longer a standing devil on the road, and the remaining more than 100 devils began to fight back, and the light machine gun shooters relied on the fallen mules and horses to set up light machine guns and began to fire back, "The sound of da began to sound on the road, but soon, those light machine gun shooters were unlucky, a magazine was not finished, and a blood hole appeared on the head. The machine guns were dumb, the grenadiers were slowly dumb, and the corpses were piled up near the two mountain guns.

Slowly, there began to be abnormal movements on the enemy's position, it turned out that a lieutenant of the devil dodged the bullet of the sniper, and was gathering the remaining riflemen, preparing to break through, and had gathered about a small team of soldiers, who were lying on the ground and fighting back fiercely, watching the soldiers continue to be hit by the devil, Liu Hua was anxious. "Order the artillery battery to carry out artillery shelling of the area where the enemy hits, fast, not to let them concentrate." Liu Hua yelled loudly into the field phone.

Just when Liu Hua picked up the binoculars again, the place where the enemy hit had been covered by artillery fire, and two rounds of 24 shells fell on the narrow road, forming a huge lethality, and the imperial soldiers of a small squad that had finally gathered were instantly left with only a dozen or so lying there to continue to fight back. Lieutenant Inoue no longer had the guts to summon his subordinates to his death.

The remaining dozen or so soldiers were constantly ordered to shoot, and finally, in a small instant, two bullets hit his head at the same time, and the lieutenant unwillingly let go of his hands holding the command knife with his eyes open.

Seeing that the enemy on the position had almost been wiped out, several trumpeters behind Liu Hua blew the trumpet of the charge, "tick tock" The soldiers who were not injured, holding the rifles with good bayonets, jumped out of the trench and ran towards the road, "rush, rush, rush" bang "The sound of the charge horn, the shouts of the soldiers, and the discontinuous sound of the rifles resounded together.

"In the face of sporadic resistance from the enemy, the fighters of the Reading Brigade were not polite, and if there was a commissar, the fighters used guns and grenades when they were far away, and submachine guns and bayonets when they entered, and soon the battlefield was quiet.

Just when the signal flare sounded, the attack of the guard battalion reconnaissance battalion on the enemy's cavalry squad was also launched, because the enemy cavalry squad advanced in a two-way formation, which was easy for the two directly subordinate battalions equipped with the most automatic firepower, at the same time as the signal flare sounded, nearly a hundred submachine guns and light machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the forty or so cavalrymen lined up in two rows fell off their horses before they could draw their sabers, and the soldiers walked out of the bunkers one after another, and the enemy's weapons and equipment, especially the war horses that the brigade commander particularly loved. At the same time, under Liuhua's special order, in addition to the corpses of the enemy, even the intact military uniforms, and the dead mules and horses were all transported away.

In Liu Hua's words, now far away from the base area, winter is approaching again, so many soldiers' cotton clothes and military uniforms must be solved, now there are such good clothes and cotton clothes, don't just be sorry for yourself, so the ambush battle lasted for a total of forty minutes, but the battlefield was cleaned for more than an hour, and when the battlefield was finally evacuated, there were only nearly 300 devils left in the entire battlefield, and even a large number of devils were naked.

After sending a telegram to the 1st and 2nd regiments requesting the transfer, the troops quickly entered the nearby mountains with the captured supplies, and at the same time, after the guard posts were released, the command of the entire Reading Brigade could be described as jubilant. The first card of the Reading Force Brigade achieved a perfect victory.

A total of 286 enemies were killed, and no one escaped, including a junior officer, and the capture was even more abundant, this time the Reading Brigade was a squadron that transported ammunition to the front line, and a total of 400,000 rounds of ammunition were captured, but they were all 38-type rifle bullets, which were useless for the current Reading Brigade. Two 75 mountain guns, 240 shells, 6 grenadiers, 5 light machine guns, 4 heavy machine guns, 16 pistols, 82 Type 38 rifles, 42 complete sets of cavalry equipment, and 2,500 grenades that had never been used by the Red Army, as well as 210 sets of intact military uniforms and 210 mules and horses that were taken from the enemy, most of which were killed. “

Our army lost 32 soldiers, one platoon commander, 2 squad leaders, 5 seriously wounded, and 45 fighters with minor injuries that did not affect combat effectiveness.

"Okay, okay...... Well played. After reading the battle report, Liu Hua patted the table and said happily.

"Send the original text of these two reports to the headquarters and the division headquarters." Liu Hua didn't care about discussing with the political commissar, and said immediately.
