The first squadron of the army retreated, and the first squadron ordered by the captain did not stop longer, fearing that the Chinese soldiers in the valley would hit their bodies with shells, and looked at a village two miles away in front of them, and the squadron leader immediately rushed to that village with his squadron. ”

Similarly, the third squadron behind is also under the personal leadership of the captain, retreating to the back of Fengju Village, now nearly 400 devils in the river valley have become lambs to be slaughtered, after the first round of intensive firepower attack, 400 devils are left less than 200 people, because many are technical soldiers, for the sudden attack, many people can only stand there stupidly, and when the army reacts, half of the devils have fallen under the muzzle of the Reading Brigade, due to the need to protect the ammunition below, The fighters of the Reading Brigade did not shell the devils in the valley, and even grenades were rarely used......

The rest of the Yue army saw that the Eighth Route Army on the mountain did not use grenades and seemed to have discovered something, so they hid in the middle of the supplies and began to shoot at the Eighth Route Army on the mountain. However, after all, the terrain occupied by the remaining men of the Yue Army was not as good as that of the soldiers of the Reading Brigade, and the number was too small, with less than 200 guns, while the Eighth Route Army on the mountain had four battalions of 2,000 troops, and in less than ten minutes, the outcome of the shooting came out. Often, as soon as the army shows its head, it will be attacked by several or even dozens of bullets. In this way, there were fewer and fewer soldiers who could shoot, and seeing the sparse gunfire, the chief of staff ordered the troops to blow the trumpet of the charge.

Hearing the sound of the charge, Liu Hua knew that the ambush at the bottom of the Yellow Cliff was about to end, so he turned his telescope in the direction of Fengju Village, because Liu Hua had already heard the faint sound of gunfire coming from Fengju Village.

Sakai, the captain of the devil brigade, soon came to the outskirts of Fengju Village with his troops, but what he couldn't figure out was that a good village was so quiet, and the silence made people feel frightened, Sakai, who had been marching and fighting, knew that this was a sign before the war, and his intuition told him that the village in front of him must have its own enemies.

"Sasaki-kun, you send a squad of soldiers into the village to have a look." Sakai quickly ordered that he would not be so stupid as to put his troops in danger when he didn't know the situation.

"Hi" the squadron leader of the third squadron immediately agreed. Soon a squad of soldiers came out of the ranks. With his waist down, he walked slowly towards the village.

A regiment commander Sun Xingbang is staying in a residential house at the edge of the village, carefully observing the army outside the village, through his own observation, the army outside is about two squadrons of nearly 500 people, these devils for a regiment with only two battalions, if you want to eat it, you must pay a great price, but this is not what the brigade commander wants, Commander Sun knows that there will be troops coming to outflank the back road of the army, and now his task is to kill and injure a large number of troops, and the final general attack is, Minimize troop casualties.

However, to Sun Xingbang's delight, the army outside did not have heavy weapons, because he only saw two heavy machine guns, and nothing else. "Commander, the devil is coming up," said the political commissar next to him.

"Well, I guess this is a tentative attack by the devils, telling the soldiers of the first company that this time we don't use mortars and heavy machine guns, let them get closer. It's better to leave me half a squad. Sun Xingbang said viciously.

The order was quickly passed to the first company, and the commander of the first company, who was about to shoot, heard the order, quickly suppressed his impulse, and waited patiently.

100 meters. 80 meters, 50 meters. "Prepare grenades." The commander of the company ordered softly, and the soldiers took out the grenades that were delivered to the army. "40 meters. Still," the company commander stopped whispering at this time, and shouted loudly. In an instant, more than 100 grenades fell on the team of the devil's reunion. At the same time, the guns in the hands of the soldiers also rang out, and the three crooked light machine guns opened fire one after another, building a dense fire network in front of the position of the first company, and the devils who reacted slowly were swept away one after another, and those devils who lay down were lucky to have dodged the machine guns of the soldiers, and the grenades that fell to the ground and delayed the explosion broke his dream. Soon, the soldiers of a squad retreated less than two and a half times, and the front foot of the first company left more than 30 corpses of devils.

"Well played, it's really good to have a row." Seeing the results of the first company, Commander Sun Xingbang shouted excitedly.

But the leader of the devil squadron looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, his own full team, without achieving any results, actually lost most of it. A thought of revenge appeared in his mind. "Yes, I must take revenge and tell the soldiers of China that the imperial army is invincible.

"Report to the captain, I request to lead the remaining two squads under the cover of heavy machine guns to continue the charge, occupy the village, and avenge the Imperial soldiers who have just fallen for the trick of China. Please ask for your approval. As he spoke, he bowed his head in front of Captain Sakai.

"Yo Xi, warrior of your empire, I now approve your request, and hand over a squad of your royal palace to you to command, and I hope you will work hard. The life and death of our brigade is in your hands. After listening to Sasaki's words, Sakai, who was feeling the atmosphere of losing a squad of soldiers, immediately agreed.

"Hey."

Soon, three squads of Japanese soldiers assembled in front of the attack position in front of the village, and under Sasaki's leadership, these soldiers took off their coats one after another and wrapped a strip of cloth around their foreheads that symbolized the samurai of the Honhon.

"It's not good, the army is going to fight hard." The regiment commander, who had been holding the binoculars, saw the behavior of the Yue army and immediately reminded him.

"Well, head of the regiment, this time the devil did his best. We should too.3...."said the commissar next to him.

"Communicator, order the artillery company to be ready for battle, all heavy machine guns are deployed to the positions of the first company, the second company is now immediately supporting the positions of the first company, and the remaining four companies are ready for assault." Sun Xingbang immediately made a judgment.

And just when Sun Xingbang was arranging his troops, the brigade commander Liu Hua also discovered this situation when he stood in the command headquarters, "The devil is going to be desperate, order, the guard battalion will set off immediately, go around to the back of the army, and when a regiment in Fengju Village initiates a reunion, immediately launch a reunion behind the army to disrupt the formation of the army." Act now. Liu Hua put down the binoculars and immediately ordered.

"Send a report to Regiment Commander Sun, saying that the guard battalion is now under his command, and he will rush to the back of the devil in 15 minutes."

Just when the army began to charge, the brigade commander's telegram came, and seeing the telegram sent by the brigade commander, Commander Sun said happily: "Political commissar, it seems that the brigade commander really has a trick, hehe, if the guard battalion stabs the devil behind the charging devil, these hundreds of troops will be lost here?" ”

"Order the troops to fight leisurely, and they must hold out for 15 minutes, counting from now on." At this moment, the attacking force of the Japanese army had already reached 300 meters outside the village. "Ordered the artillery company to shell the rearguard units of the army and drive them away, they were walking too slowly. , ordered the first and second companies in front to shoot when the army entered the position 200 meters in advance, and not let the army get too close to the position. ”

The artillery company of the "Boom Boom Boom ......" began shelling, and the 16 shells were like a line, falling at the back of the devil's charging team, and the charging devils were stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, speeding up the pace of attack, and the distance of 100 meters was quickly completed. Da ...... "The eight heavy machine guns on the positions of the first and second companies opened fire, and the first row of the Japanese soldiers fell down one after another like cut wheat, and the Japanese soldiers behind them lay on the ground one after another, dodging the dense fire.

However, lying down is not a very good way, the line of the 16 shells in the back slowly approached the lying down of the Yue Army, boom boom boom....the shells began to explode behind the Yue Army, the squadron leader Sasaki who was lying in the middle of the team could no longer stand the feeling of being beaten with bullets in front and shells in the back, and stood up all of a sudden, holding his command knife, "Kill to..." The soldiers lying on the ground stood up one after another, shooting and charging at the same time... The soldier next to him fell, the soldier in front fell, stepped on his corpse and continued to charge, under this fearless charge, the fighters of the two companies instantly felt the pressure.

Although there was the cover of eight heavy machine guns, but at this time the devils were not afraid of death, and there were skillful tactical movements, along the way, there were very few devils who were reached by heavy machine guns, and soon, there were more than a squad of devils rushed to 30 meters at the front of the position. And the two companies on the position quickly suffered a platoon casualties under the charge and accurate marksmanship of the devils, and the devils of a squad were close at hand, and the heavy machine guns could not play a suppressive role at all.

"Grenades" shouted the two company commanders almost simultaneously, and a group of grenades was thrown.

"Commander, it's time." The political commissar, who had been following the battle situation, immediately reminded.

"Trumpeter, blow the trumpet," the regimental commander immediately ordered.

"Tick tock...."The position sounded a loud charge horn, the soldiers of the four companies that had been prepared for a long time were like tigers coming out of the mountain, and launched a counter-charge against the army that was stunned by the grenade, the soldiers of the four companies were like a bamboo, and the army that was blown up by the grenade was like a gust of wind, and was eaten by the soldiers of the four companies. The guard battalion behind him also heard the horn of the charge and launched a charge.

A guard battalion and four companies of troops quickly overwhelmed a squad around Sakai and won, at this time, a big bone in Liu Hua's heart finally let go, and began to stare at a squadron in the direction of Gongjiazhuang.
