Chapter 417: Victory emerges
More than 800 soldiers of the 3rd Battalion flocked out, and under the leadership of Zhao Youde, they were not afraid of death, rushed out of the bunker, and launched a counter-charge against the Japanese army.
On the mortar position of the Japanese army, more than 100 dragon tooth cavalry had already rushed back and forth on the devil's position and killed twice, hundreds of devil artillerymen and ammunitionmen were killed, and only a few escaped.
Liu Jianhua, who was covered in blood, inserted the blood-covered saber back into the scabbard, pulled out a Mauser pistol and said to the other fighters: "Change the magazine and continue to attack!" Kill back! ”
In the battle just now, these scout cavalry sacrificed more than ten people, and now there are more than one hundred and fifty people left, all of them are bloody, like death knights returning from hell.
They quickly took out a new magazine from the ammunition pack on their waists, replaced their submachine guns, and then pulled the bolt, pushed the bullet to the pond, and with Liu Jianhua shouted, they all instigated their war horses to follow him and rushed towards the Japanese attacking crowd that had already counterattacked.
Whoosh, Liu Jianhua leaned over the horse, the bullets fired by some devil soldiers almost grazed his scalp, the Mauser pistol in his left hand immediately fired back, and several devil infantry were shot one after another and fell to the ground.
......The submachine guns in the hands of the scouts who followed up opened fire one after another, and the fierce and dense firepower, coupled with the running speed of the war horses, gave the counterattacking devils a head-on attack, causing a lot of casualties.
Of course, there were also some scout cavalry who were unfortunately hit by devils, some were hit by war horses, and people turned on their backs, and some were directly hit by bullets in the body and fell off their war horses, all of them were spared and died heroically.
The twenty bullets in the Mauser pistol were also quickly exhausted, and there were no less than ten devil soldiers who died under Liu Jianhua's gun, and the war horse under the crotch had already rushed into the devil crowd, Liu Jianhua quickly put away the gun, pulled out the bloody saber, and slashed with a swing.
The scout cavalry behind him had sacrificed more than twenty more just now, but these sacrifices were not without a price, and there were at least hundreds of devil soldiers who died under their guns.
After the remaining 130 or so cavalrymen ran out of bullets, they waved their knives and followed Liu Jianhua left and right, killing the devil crowd.
The Japanese army originally had an absolute superiority in strength, and if there was an effective unified command, the nearly 2,000 Japanese infantry would be able to block, separate, and annihilate the infantry and cavalry of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force respectively.
However, because Liu Jianhua's assault momentum was too fierce just now, they not only killed the devil's heavy machine gun squadron and artillery brigade, but also split the commander of the 11th Infantry Wing, who remained under the command of the artillery brigade and did not have time to escape.
In addition, the brigade commander Toshishi Miura took the lead in retreating because of the temporary evasion, and for a time, nearly 2,000 devil infantry fell into the point of being leaderless.
However, in the face of the counterattack of more than 800 infantry and more than 100 cavalry of the third battalion of the Dragon Tooth Task Force, it seemed that they could not organize an effective blockade, and they could only watch as the elite cavalry led by Liu Jianhua cut into their crowd like a sharp knife, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, wantonly killing, rushing left and right, killing the Japanese soldiers killed and wounded, and their morale plummeted.
The most fatal thing was the more than 800 infantry battalions led by Zhao Youde, who risked their lives to enter the cavalry reconnaissance company that was encircled by the Japanese army in order to rescue them.
Without unified command, and with the enemy on their backs, fighting on both sides, the Japanese army naturally could not hold out for long in the face of red-eyed reconnaissance cavalry and three battalions of infantry.
The melee lasted for about twenty minutes, and the devil's formation was disrupted and scattered, and Zhao Youde's infantry and Liu Jianhua's cavalry finally joined forces and joined forces in victory.
Both the cavalry reconnaissance company and the infantry of the third battalion, which survived the disaster, were greatly boosted and immediately turned to launch a new round of surprise attacks on the Japanese troops, who already showed signs of retreating.
The devil soldiers, who were already on the verge of collapse, suddenly retreated and fled, and the defeat was like a mountain, and they were out of control, rushing in the direction they came.
Liu Jianhua, Zhao Youde, Liu Xiaohai and others led the soldiers to continue the pursuit, the Japanese army's heavy machine guns and mortars all became their trophies, and more devils were frightened by the sound of horses' hooves and shouts like a tide behind them.
On the side of Luquan County, Qiao Youhua relieved the siege of Dahe Village, and also took the risk of organizing a surprise attack, he assembled Ma Yunlong's artillery battalion, pulled out all the Japanese 92-type infantry guns captured before, lined up on the streets of the city, and began a covering fierce artillery attack on the field fortifications occupied by the Japanese blockade forces outside the city.
At the same time, Qiao Youhua transferred the militia to the head of the city, replaced his guard company and Sun Dahai's more than 500 soldiers of the second battalion to be responsible for the city defense, and led this group of new troops to quietly enter the tunnel from the West Gate tunnel and came to the field fortifications outside the West Gate.
At this time, the devils outside the city were suddenly shelled by the city, and they were in a panic, and after many people were killed and wounded, they remembered to enter those strange small holes in the trenches (cat's ear holes dug by the dragon's tooth officers and soldiers).
This shelling was carried out in three directions, except for the south of the city, the devils in the northeast and west directions were shelled, and half an hour later, the shelling of the east and north of the city continued, while the shelling of the west of the city stopped, and Qiao Youhua had already arranged it at this time.
When the devil soldiers in the field defense position outside the west gate of the city noticed that the shelling of the people of China had stopped, and they came out of the cat's ear hole one after another, the commando team of more than 700 people led by Qiao Youhua suddenly killed from the hidden tunnels in the trenches in various places in the position.
At that time, the entire position was shrouded in flames and pungent gunsmoke, and the devil soldiers had not yet recovered from the panic after the sudden shelling, who would have thought that there would be a branch army in their trenches?
Qiao Youhua and the others took the opportunity to kill, until they opened fire on the devil soldiers, most of the devil soldiers were still confused, of course, there were a small number of devils who understood, but they were all sent by the dragon tooth officers and soldiers to meet the king of Hades with bullets.
The two thousand devils were divided into three groups to encircle Luquan County, and the troops in each direction were not superior to the Dragon Tooth Task Force, not to mention Qiao Youhua, they were still taken by surprise, and there were elite veterans of the guard company who were equipped with melee artifacts - American-style submachine guns.
In the sound of gunfire one after another, one after another the devil soldiers screamed and fell, Qiao Youhua, Zheng Yunshan, and Sun Dahai led the troops to continuously launch assaults on the devils, and soon occupied most of the positions, and more than 600 devils in the west of the city were killed and wounded.
The east and north of the city are being bombarded by the dragon's tooth artillery in the city, and they don't know that there is already a fierce battle in the west of the city, so they naturally won't rush to reinforcements!
