When Qiao Youhua was about to leave, Liu Ruhan had already put on a military uniform and came to the door of the headquarters lobby, but her steps were a little staggering, obviously Qiao Youhua was too rough with alcohol last night, and she was new to personnel.

"It's cold, you go into the house and rest, you don't have to receive anyone's message today." Qiao Youhua took on a steel helmet and walked out of the command room and said to her.

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back." Liu Ruhan is tender like water.

Qiao Youhua turned his head and smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back." With that, he strode out, dozens of soldiers in the guard platoon had already prepared, and a guard even brought a war horse for him, Qiao Youhua turned over on his horse, pulled out his horse whip and said, "Let's go!" ”

The war horse spread its hooves and galloped forward, followed by dozens of guards, galloping all the way towards the south gate of Suzhou, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.

………………

At the Wusongjiang Bridge, Liu Jianhua led the reconnaissance company to arrive first, followed by the 1st and 2nd battalions with war horses.

Liu Jianhua led people to plant explosives, while Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao led people to hurriedly build an ambush position on the north bank of the Wusong River.

Although it was already snowing, the ground was fortunately not frozen yet, otherwise digging trenches would have been extremely difficult.

Jiang Haidong dug a few shovels, looked up and said to Ma Biao not far away: "It's not okay to go on like this, the devil will come when he says it, we don't have time to build an ambush position, we must find a way to delay it, otherwise this ambush will not be successful, and it is likely to become an encounter." ”

"Well, it makes sense, the dragon king should have arrived, don't you ask him for instructions?" Ma Biao nodded.

"I'm afraid it's too late, so let's do it, you stay and lead everyone to build an ambush position as quickly as possible, and I'll take a sharpshooter squad to the other side of the road and block the speed of the slow devils!" Jiang Haidong said.

"Shall I go?" Ma Biao knew that it was not easy to stop the Japanese army, and if he didn't do it, he would die.

Jiang Haidong waved his hand and said, "Do you think you are more suitable for harassment and attack tactics than me?" Don't worry, the dragon king will come later, tell him, I'll come when I go, don't worry about me! ”

After that, twenty-eight riflemen with excellent marksmanship were summoned to cross the Wusong River Bridge on foot, this time they were going to attack and delay the Japanese army, although the speed of horseback was fast, but the target was too big, so they could only choose to walk.

Fortunately, at this time, there were still many woods on both sides of the Wusong River, which were not cut down like in later generations, and greatly retained the geographical features of primitive nature.

This gave Jiang Haidong and them room to maneuver.

On the highway about three or four miles away from the Wusongjiang Bridge, the Japanese army's 3,000 marines were marching with difficulty, and a devil Shaozuo pointed ahead, and the commander of Dazuo, Yoshizawa Ming, said: "Your Excellency, through the forest in front is the Wusongjiang Bridge, and after the bridge is Suzhou City." ”

"Yo Xi, order the troops to speed up, we must rush to Suzhou before noon, and launch an attack on the defenders of Suzhou as much as possible, and strive to kill them all before sunset, and reopen the logistics supply line of the imperial army!" Akikun Yoshizawa nodded happily.

The devil Shaozuo turned his head and waved his hand, urging the devil soldiers who were marching: "Hurry up, speed up!" ”

Urged by them, even the exhausted Marines tried their best to speed up, and they couldn't help but move much faster, and soon they were into the large woods on the south bank.

At the same time, Jiang Haidong with twenty-eight marksmen had also been ambushed in place, Jiang Haidong hid behind a big tree, quietly stretched out his rifle, and decisively aimed at a devil captain with a small plaster flag hanging on his rifle.

As he pulls the trigger, lie on the hook! A gunshot rang out, and a hot bullet swirled at high speed and accurately hit the head of the devil captain, piercing his steel helmet, shooting from the door of the head into the skull, and after the steel helmet and skull were reduced, the rifle with extremely penetrating power was shot into the skull, and rolled violently.

The brain tissue of the devil chief was stirred up in an instant, and the devil captain fell straight down in response.

At the same time, twenty-eight other marksmen also opened fire, all of them scattered and ambushed in the woods and bushes on both sides of the road, hiding in very different positions.

Twenty-eight hot bullets were fired from different directions at the crowd of Japanese marines who were marching, all of them hit, none of them missed, and in a short moment, coupled with Jiang Haidong's shot, the devil was killed by nearly half of the team.

The remaining 3,000 Japanese troops were completely alarmed by the sudden gunfire and were shocked, because the dragon tooth marksmen were very scattered and the bullets seemed to be shooting from all directions, and the machine gunners and riflemen of the devils deserved to fire indiscriminately in all directions.

"Sir, there's an ambush by a sharpshooter!" The devil Shaozo stretched out his hand to protect Yoshizawa Akijun with a frightened face, his face full of vigilance.

The scene of more than 20 Imperial soldiers falling, Akira Yoshizawa saw all of them just now, this is the elite of his own Marine Corps, and he was killed by nearly half of the squad in the blink of an eye, which made him angry.

However, what made him even more angry was still happening, the sharpshooters led by Jiang Haidong did not all withdraw at once, but according to Jiang Haidong's previous arrangement, half of them were withdrawn, and the remaining fourteen people took on the task of covering and opened fire on the Japanese again.

This time, the sharpshooters were aiming at the indiscriminate strafing devil machine gunners and some grenadiers who were ready to open fire, and in the frantic roar of the Japanese light machine guns, the fourteen sharpshooters fired again, and a salvo was fired.

Again, the whole target was hit, the machine gunners and grenadiers of the devils suffered heavy losses, and many light machine guns were dumbfounded.

After firing this shot, the fourteen marksmen immediately retreated separately, and the dozen or so marksmen who had evacuated earlier took cover alternately.

"Yaga Tooth Road! Damn the Chinese people! Yoshizawa Akira jumped like thunder, immediately pulled out his saber, and roared almost roaring: "Pursuit! Pursuit! Kill them, and they're all dead! Kill Quack! ”

Thousands of devil soldiers immediately divided into two paths and launched a pursuit in the dense woods on both sides of the road.

However, before he could chase far, he triggered the thunder trap that the marksmen had already arranged, and boom, boom, explosion, and more than a dozen devils were killed and wounded.

Yoshizawa Akijun was even more angry, and scolded Shao Zuo beside him for personally leading the team to pursue, and if he didn't wipe out all the cunning Shina soldiers, he would not give up!

…………

While Jiang Haidong led twenty-eight heroic marksmen to fight with more than 3,000 little devils, Qiao Youhua also rushed to the north shore with a guard platoon.

After listening to Ma Biao's report, Qiao Youhua didn't say anything, just looked at the other side of the Wusong River with worry for a while, he knew how dangerous it was to drag down the elite of the 3,000 Japanese army with less than a platoon of troops, but Jiang Haidong was forced to do so.

If he didn't hold back the Japanese army, he wouldn't be able to calmly arrange an ambush position, and now he can also pray in his heart for his good brothers and subordinates, and he must return safely.

"Brothers, work harder, repair the fortifications quickly, Battalion Commander Jiang and his brothers are on the other side to buy time for us with their lives and blood!" Qiao Youhua picked up a captured sapper shovel and shouted at the top of his voice.

Taking the lead in digging fortifications, the reconnaissance company also planted explosives and rushed to help, and nearly 1,000 officers and men went all out, and the progress was suddenly accelerated.
