Chapter 234: The Breakthrough Battle Against Encirclement and Suppression (8)
Truly! Sakai really didn't know that there were so many heavy weapons on the position of the Eighth Route Army, because in his eyes, the Eighth Route Army would definitely use most of the heavy weapons to break through, and who would have thought that the Reading Division would leave so many heavy machine guns and wait for his own charge.
"The battalion commander ... How to fight? Looking at the Yue Jun who was getting closer and closer, the instructor pinched the shell gun in his hand and asked.
"Huh! Instructor, we have heavy machine gun bullets, and we are saying that these bullets seem to have been snatched from the Japanese army yesterday, and of course they will all be returned tonight. Tell the machine gunner, don't save me bullets ... The devils will fire when they come into range, and I will make their light machine guns useless. The battalion commander said with a grim smile.
"Okay, I'll go and deliver the order!" The instructor smiled back and turned to deliver the order.
Soon, the army was three hundred meters in front of the position. In order to boost morale, the machine guns in the front row opened fire one after another, and the muzzles that constantly spewed tongues of fire became the best targets for the fighters in the dark.
"Comrades, hit me hard at the machine gunners in the front row," shouted the battalion commander.
The two heavy machine guns next to him opened fire, and soon, the remaining six joined the slaughter.
"Ahh Yaga... How could this be..."In an instant, the entire formation of the army was overturned by the beaten people, and almost all the dozens of light machine guns that were arrogant just now were dumbfounded. Look at the machine gunners in the front row, nearly 100 corpses are neatly arranged at the front of the line like works of art.
"Baga, quick, retreat, Baga, this is simply a massacre..."Seeing the soldiers in the front row who kept falling, the chief of staff exclaimed.
The retreating army quickly sorted out the formation. And the chief of staff, who led the team, sadly found that in just half a minute, he had left a squadron of soldiers.
However, it was time for the chief of staff to change the way he attacked. A squadron of soldiers took off their upper uniforms and stood in front of the chief of staff with grenades strapped all over their bodies.
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor," everyone shouted in unison, turning and rushing out of position.
"It's not good, the little devil is going to be desperate, and the little devil must not be allowed to rush to the front of the position." The battalion commander, who watched the devil's every move through the binoculars, hurriedly reminded.
"Comrades, pay attention, block a hundred meters before the position with firepower, and you must not let the little devils rush through this line, and the riflemen will assist in firing." The battalion commander commanded loudly.
Immediately before the position, they fell into a tragic tearing and killing. One by one, the soldiers strapped with explosives rushed over in the impenetrable rain of bullets, and when they were shot and fell, they would not hesitate to pull off the bombs on their bodies.
"Boom..."A loud explosion sounded, and the soldier was instantly torn to pieces. However, as the smoke cleared, a one-meter-deep crater appeared at the point of the explosion.
Immediately afterwards, without any hesitation, the Yue Jun behind him jumped into the crater full of stumps and broken arms, completely stained red by the blood of his companions. Continuing to meet the bullets, the bomb was pulled off at the edge of the crater. Another crater appeared.
The troops rushed forward one after another, and the craters slowly extended to the position, and soon, this passage road that had been exchanged for human lives crossed the boundary a hundred meters away.
"Quick, machine gun, hit the crater, you must not let the devil continue to advance." The battalion commander walked back and forth on the position and ordered.
Soon, after several heavy machine guns turned their muzzles, the daredevils who wanted to continue to move forward were killed by the soldiers on the way forward without hesitation...... The momentum of the devil's attack was temporarily stopped, and the battalion commander wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The battalion commander ... The regimental commander ordered: the troops immediately retreated, and a regiment would be met by troops. At this time, the communicator ran in front of the battalion commander.
"It's finally time to retreat, instructor, order the fighters to prepare grenades, retreat ..."
Soon, the warriors arranged the deceit and quickly retreated according to the pre-battle arrangement. Of course, the anomaly on the position was also discovered by the chief of staff of the army.
"Yaga! The Eighth Route Army is about to escape, so charge immediately, quickly..."As soon as the heavy machine guns on the position stopped firing, the chief of staff of the army issued an order to pursue.
"Kill and give...", the army finally rushed to the position. As far as the eye could see, there were only eight Gu Ningning's heavy machine guns left in the entire position, announcing the battle record just now to the devils. And the Eighth Route Army was a hundred meters away, slowly moving away from their field of vision.
"Baga, quick, turn the muzzle of the gun, let the Eighth Route Army also taste the taste of heavy machine guns." One of the squad leaders who rushed to the front looked at the heavy machine guns on the position, looked at the boxes of heavy machine gun bullets next to him, and ordered loudly.
However, an accident happened. As the army moved the machine guns, the mines buried under the machine guns were detonated.
In the blink of an eye, eight heavy machine guns became a pile of parts.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is cunning and big. What are you still doing? Hurry up and pursue...", but he doesn't know, what is still to come for him to revenge?
In order to slow down the pursuit of the devils, the soldiers almost thought of all the methods they could think of, and immediately, the pursuing little devils tasted the greatness of the power of everyone. Either a little devil tripped over a thunderbolt buried in the ground, or a foot suddenly stepped on a deep pit dug by the soldiers, or even stepped directly on the bayonet that stood upside down on the position... In short, there are many ways to do this. Slowly, the little devil's pursuit speed has slowed down a lot invisibly. The distance between the two armies from 100 to 200 meters has slowly changed... Three hundred meters..."Yaga... The cunning Eighth Route Army. Leave the wounded alone, pursue them immediately, quick... If the Eighth Route Army escapes, we will all apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. The chief of staff, who rushed to the position, saw the wounded all over the ground, and once again ordered in a depressed manner.
"Hey..."Several squadron leaders around him, the team leader hurriedly took the order.
Immediately, a squad of the Japanese army, as the vanguard, rushed forward regardless of casualties, and opened a safe passage for the main force with their own corpses.
With the passage, the chief of staff of the army quickly led the main force through the position, and after joining up with the remnants of the third brigade that had been scattered at the rear of the position, the group of 1,500 troops quickly pursued the Eighth Route Army, which could only see a little back.
At this time, Liu Hua was following a regiment with the wounded under the protection of the third regiment, running wildly on the main road, as the assault troops, the first, second, and two battalions were like bamboos all the way, and they had already eliminated several squad-sized troops. Seeing that the troops had arrived at the place agreed with the cavalry regiment before the war, Liu Hua looked into the woods on both sides of the road, as if he was searching for something? Soon, he saw what he was looking for.
Several cavalrymen quickly rushed out of the woods, and after inquiring in the wild team, they came straight to Liu Hua. Seeing the cavalry, Liu Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The cavalry came to Liu Hua, and with the neighing of a war horse, several cavalrymen stopped steadily in front of Liu Hua.
"Report to the commander, Commander Wang asked me to come and report: the cavalry regiment is ready to attack at any time. Please the commander retreat with our troops into the woods, the cavalry regiment is about to attack, and this will soon become a battlefield...", said the leading cavalry salute.
"Got it, you guys lead the way in front..."Liu Hua responded. Turning around, he walked over to a dirt bag next to the queue.
"Comrades, all of them, stop moving forward ..., now change formation, the wounded soldiers are in front, the third regiment is in the rear ... Follow me forward, retreat into the woods..."Liu Hua ordered loudly.
Immediately, this order was quickly passed on to the ears of each warrior by the warriors, one by one.
Receiving the order, the warriors quickly changed formations and soon entered the mountains and forests under the leadership of the cavalry... At this time, the cavalry regiment was quietly guarding the mountains and forests next to the road, waiting for the arrival of the army. Finally, the figure of the pursuing Yue Jun appeared in everyone's field of vision. Perhaps the army thought that the current Eighth Route Army was powerless to resist except for escaping, and the entire marching army was lined up in two lines, holding torches high, swaggering and running on the road, biting the rear guard of the three regiments tightly.
More importantly, through the telescope, Wang Hu found that there was not a single heavy machine gun in the entire army. Heavy machine guns as the nemesis of cavalry, but Wang Hu has always been very jealous, generally before the war, Wang Hu first focused not on the enemy's cases, but on the number of their heavy machine guns.
Without the nemesis of the cavalry, Wang Hu couldn't help but be excited, and immediately decided to change his battle plan and decide to expand the results.
"All of them, get on your horse and get ready to fight." Wang Hu shouted an order to the cavalry force of nearly 1,000 people behind him.
"The commander of the first battalion... You lead a battalion to kill the devil's avant-garde, and then turn your horse's head and charge directly at the main force. ”
"Yes, regimental commander," replied the battalion commander, turning and leaving with his troops.
"The second battalion commander... You kill the devil defender, then turn straight and hit the main force. ”
"Yes, regimental commander...", the second battalion commander replied, "all the rest of the people, follow me directly to the main force of the devils, charge in formation, and charge in a fan shape." Tonight, the cavalry regiment has a good opening of meat. Wang Hu ordered excitedly.
In the blink of an eye, the pursuing force of the army, which had stretched for thousands of kilometers, had run directly in front of the ambush position of the cavalry regiment. The war horse under the crotch also seemed to sense the atmosphere of war, and began to swing its front hooves constantly, showing restlessness. Finally, the best time to charge was up, and Wang Hu pulled out the saber on his horse's back with a "whoosh". Immediately, there was a flash of swords behind him.
"The cavalry regiment ... Charge..."Wang Hu roared loudly, and the first to lead his horse out of the woods where he was hiding, and went straight to the center of the Devil's Marching Brigade.
The cavalry behind the "kill" immediately roared, and the horses caught up with the regiment commander in front, and the cavalry of a battalion formed an arc, and Wanhu was in the middle of the arc, and it was also the front.
