As Ma Zheng expected, by the time it was dark, more than half of the casualties of the Takeda Brigade had already been killed, and if it continued to fight overnight, I was afraid that the entire brigade would be here, so I had no choice but to retreat.

Although Sadao Takeda does not have a good strategic vision, he is still very good in terms of tactics, he knows very well that the enemy in front of him is not as strong as he imagined, but they hide in strong fortifications, using fortifications and fire points to kill and injure troops, only by asking the brigade headquarters for heavy artillery reinforcements, it will be much easier to take this bandit den at that time.

After the order to retreat was issued, the remaining more than 600 soldiers of Takeda's headquarters began to retreat in the direction of Fengzhen with more than 200 wounded soldiers.

Red Rock Cliff, a narrow strip between Fengzhen and Hades Mountain, is a slope more than ten meters high on both sides, and a highway in the middle.

At this time, more than 4,000 people from Ma Zheng's department on the Red Rock Cliff had already been ambushed, just waiting for the remnants of the Japanese army to enter their ambush circle.

Since he had always thought that those hateful bandits were still on the mountain, Takeda Sadao didn't expect someone to ambush them halfway, so he didn't send a sharp army to explore the way ahead.

Ma Zheng crouched on the hillside, his eyes fixed on the approaching Japanese soldiers, and at the same time raised his right hand high, and only waited for the Japanese troops to enter the minefield before ordering the soldiers to pull the mines.

Soon the vanguard of the Japanese army had already passed through the minefield, and the large army also followed, and after all the troops at the rear entered the ambush circle, Ma Zheng waved his hand suddenly, and then said loudly: "Pull! ”

Following Ma Zheng's order, dozens of soldiers pulled the line in their hands at the same time, only to hear a series of explosions suddenly resounding in the valley. With the violent explosion, the ghost soldiers were blown away by the huge air wave one by one, and after the explosion, the ghost soldiers were only half of their original size.

Before the Japanese could recover their strength, suddenly, grenades on both sides of the cliff, which was not very high, whistled up, and the sky flew like a flock of sparrows. In an instant, the grenade exploded in the air above the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and the sound of short and continuous explosions was deafening, and the flying shrapnel whistled down with the breath of death.

The panicked Japanese soldiers could not find a safe corner, and many soldiers were directly hit by several grenades at the same time, and their heads were blown to different places. More than 1,000 people in the first echelon of the attack, according to Ma Zheng's order, threw all the grenades on their bodies in the shortest possible time after the attack was launched.

Ma Zheng's troops will be given 3 grenades per person during the war, and more than 3,000 grenades for more than 1,000 people, and 3,000 grenades may be nothing in a battle. But in two minutes, in such a small area, the lethality of so many grenades is undoubtedly terrifying.

The casualties caused by the grenades to the Japanese army were undoubtedly huge, and the remaining more than 600 people of the original Takeda Brigade were less than 200 people who could still stand at this time after the raid of mines and grenades, and they were completely stunned like the lost dogs.

And the battle did not end here, just after the explosion, the companies lying in ambush on both sides of the cliff under Ma Zheng's order, long and short weapons opened fire together, and many Japanese soldiers who were just about to stand up and counterattack fell.

However, the Kwantung Army was worthy of being the elite of the Japanese army, and although the well-trained soldiers suffered heavy casualties, they did not immediately disperse. Instead, they reacted quickly before the sudden blow, howling and using the bodies of their fallen comrades as cover to begin to return fire, and the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun was loud, and the yellow bullets jumped out of the chamber.......

Sadao Takeda has long been stunned by this series of fierce blows, is this still a bandit, such a terrible tactical use, I am afraid that the regular army of China is not as good as it. But unwilling to be defeated, especially Sadao Takeda, who was even more reluctant to die in battle or be captured, quickly commanded his troops to counterattack, shouting: "Shoot... Shoot..."

Sadao Takeda finally gathered more than a hundred people, and broke through to the mouth of the valley while counterattacking, even ignoring the corpses of the soldiers killed in the battle, what Sadao Takeda wanted most now was to escape from this terrifying mountain as soon as possible.

To Takeda's excitement, the mouth of the valley was not very far, and although the people on both sides of the cliff were still shooting, and his soldiers were constantly falling to the ground and dying, as long as one squad of soldiers was left to block, it only took two minutes for him to lead the rest of the people to escape from this terrifying ravine.

However, just as Takeda and the others were about to run to the mouth of the valley, a flare suddenly rose into the sky, illuminating the entire valley and the surrounding mountains clearly.

Through the white light of the flares, Takeda was horrified to find that the sides of the cliff were full of Shina people, some wearing gray cloth military uniforms, some wearing sheepskin coats, and some wearing homespun clothes, almost like a group of refugees. But the muzzle of the black hole in their hands made people dare not ignore their existence, and just when Sadao Takeda decided to make a last stand, a burst of Japanese suddenly came from the mountain.

"Listen to the little devils below, we are the first battalion of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and you have been surrounded. Knowing that you will not surrender, now I give you a chance to show the spirit of bushido, and the two sides face to face with bayonets, I don't know if your Excellency will dare? ”

That's right, Ma Zheng is ready to fight the bayonet with the little devil! Although there were less than a hundred devils left, as long as Ma Zheng gave an order, dozens of machine guns would sieve, but Ma Zheng did not do so.

The reason why the Japanese are so strong is, on the one hand, that their individual soldiers are of good quality, but more importantly, their soldiers are not afraid of death and dare to fight face-to-face with any powerful enemy.

If you want to compete with the Japanese devils, you must overwhelm them in momentum, although this will definitely increase unnecessary casualties, but it can greatly improve the courage and actual combat ability of the soldiers.

Moreover, Ma Zheng taught a set of bayonet fighting skills he learned from later generations to the companies formed before, and the calculation time was also a month, just to practice with these 100 little devils. So Ma Zheng ordered the attack to stop and ordered all the soldiers to get out of the fortifications.

Takeda Sadao thought that this was just a little trick of the Shina people and didn't care, but when he saw that the Shina people on both sides not only stopped attacking, but also came out of the darkness, this made Takeda Sadao can't help but admire the courage of these Shina people.

Under the illumination of a large number of torches, the originally dark sky was illuminated as bright as day.

Seeing the hundreds of soldiers in gray military uniforms at the front walking forward with bayonets and repelling the bullets in front of them, Takeda Sadao knew that these Shina men on the opposite side really wanted to fight with his troops with bayonets.

This is the greatest provocation and shame to the Imperial Japanese Army, Takeda Nakasa roared angrily: "All of them, bayonets, return bullets... Kill"

Wan raised his adjutant knife and rushed towards Ma Zheng and the others, and at the same time, Ma Zheng also led the people of the second company to meet him.

This was a hard-fought hand-to-hand battle, a comprehensive test of the soldiers' will, courage, and fighting skills. This kind of fight between red and white is the most bloody, and people with weak willpower are afraid that their legs will be weak as soon as they go up.

The two sides were red-eyed, the clanging of bayonets, the muffled sound of the butts hitting the flesh, the screams of the dying men, and the roars of the killing.

Ma Zheng has always agreed with a certain father once said that a unit that dares to see red with a bayonet is a strong army. In order to enhance the courage of the soldiers, Ma Zheng personally carried a rifle to lead the team to fight.

As the commander of the most powerful special forces of the Republic in later generations, Ma Zheng's fighting ability is far from being comparable to ordinary people, a rifle in his hand is like a sickle in the hands of the god of death, every action will have a Japanese soldier killed, in less than a minute, there are no less than five Japanese soldiers who died in the hands of Ma Zheng, as if killing gods.

Despite their ragged clothes and lack of steel helmets or protective gear, the warriors had the courage to break through the cauldron and attack again and again when they were equal in strength to their opponents.

Of course, in order to control casualties, if a soldier is injured, he will be removed from the battlefield immediately, and someone will immediately make up for it. So despite the fierceness of the battle, there weren't many people who were killed, and most of them were wounded. Of course, the brutality of the white-knuckle battle is still obvious, but despite this, many fighters still died in battle.

The white-knuckle battle lasted for more than twenty minutes before it ended, and the mountain road was littered with bloody corpses, like an open-air slaughterhouse. The bodies of more than 100 Japanese soldiers, including Sadao Takeda, were all killed, while the price paid by Ma Zheng's unit was more than 30 killed and more than 90 wounded.
