Chapter Thirty-Eight: Retreat and Hold
The devils were busy dealing with the night owls' cavalry at this time, and they didn't care about the three slippers, so they were able to retreat smoothly. When Sanyozi left, he didn't forget to scatter Zhuge Ma nails on the ground.
Although there were not many cavalry of night owls, the victory came suddenly. The devils didn't have time to set up the defensive line, and they rushed into the infantry queue at once.
If you want to say that the cavalry is garbage, it is really garbage, as long as the infantry has a good posture and enough bullets, how many cavalry rush up is also sent to death, such as the Battle of Bali Bridge. But if you want to say that the cavalry is powerful, it is really powerful, as long as they are allowed to rush into the interior of the army or the inside of the defense line, it will be a one-sided slaughter, such as the battle of Jiangqiao in Ma Zhanshan and the battle of piercing the heart in Jizhong launched by Eyousan.
Now it is the second situation, unless the devils strafe with automatic weapons regardless of accidental damage, those infantry will only have their share of slaughter. As soon as many devils lifted the 38 big cover, their heads flew up with sabers.
However, due to the too many devils and the long distance of the charge, the cavalry also began to show damage. One of the fighters tripped over a dead body. He has good horsemanship, and when he falls to the ground, he rolls and gets up. But after this delay, several devils pounced with guns. Knowing that he would die, the soldier secretly ripped off the tabs of the two grenades on his body. When the devil saw that he didn't have a gun in his hand, he wanted to catch him alive. The warrior took the opportunity to slam the two grenades into each other, shouted and rushed towards the enemy.
Devils also like to use this trick, but it doesn't mean that they like others to do the same. Several of the devils who got close to each other were terrified, howling and trying to get out of the way. But so close, where to hide? With a loud bang, the warrior fell in a pool of blood along with three nearby enemies.
The night owl heard the sound of a grenade exploding, and his heart trembled. For he knew that another warrior had left the world with this loud noise. The devil will not use grenades to blow up cavalry at this time, first, it is difficult for grenades to cause fatal damage to war horses, and secondly, they will accidentally injure their companions.
Now is not the time to be sad, they are in the enemy position, and whether they can break out of the gang depends on luck. The night owl was thinking about how to get out, when the soldier who rushed to the front suddenly shouted: "Squadron leader, the road ahead is blocked!" ”
The night owl was shocked when he heard the sound, and hurriedly rushed forward to take a look, only to see two Oriental horses each dragging a Type 92 infantry cannon side by side. This official road was already narrow, and once it was occupied by these two Oriental horses, there was not much room for them to sprint. Although they came with the determination to die, there is a glimmer of life for what not to fight for? Seeing that the way out was blocked, the people in front of them were sweating profusely.
There is no endless road. The night owl suddenly saw a fork in the road ahead, although the road condition was not as good as the official road, but at this time it couldn't take care of so much. He hurriedly ordered the grenade to be thrown, trying to use the smoke from the grenade to interfere with the devil's shooting, and then escaped through the fork in the road. It's unrealistic to turn your head around and rush again. At this time, the devil is on guard, and if he rushes again, he will be machine-gunfired.
As soon as the night owls arrived at the fork in the road, they saw that the devil's artillery squad had already put their horses across the road, trying to completely block their way. The cavalrymen laughed, limped slightly, turned around and forked the road, leaving only grenades and horses farther and farther away.
Twelve cavalrymen broke through the defense line of hundreds of devils, and it was completed by the "Shina" soldiers, which was a great shame in the eyes of the devils. The only way to wash away the shame is to completely eliminate this group of "Zhina" cavalry. As a result, a large number of devils began to fire at the back of the cavalry who ran farther and farther away, and the warriors around the night owl fell one after another. Fortunately, the undulating fields on both sides of the fork road blocked a lot of bullets for them, and if it was as flat as the two sides of the official road, I am afraid that there would be no one left.
Seeing that the cavalry was about to disappear, the angry devil commander had no choice but to order the cavalry to pursue. But at this moment, the devil's cavalry has just rushed from the farmland on both sides of the official road to the official road, where can they still have time to chase? I had to watch the partisan cavalry flee.
A traitor who led the way saw that the devil commander was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry about Yamamoto Taijun, the people of Shina will only run away, not the samurai!" ”
Yamamoto was annoyed, thinking that the traitor was sarcastic about him, and shouted angrily: "Yaga! As he spoke, he slapped the traitor hard. This time he used enough strength to hit half of the traitor's cheeks and swelled high.
The traitor was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, "Xie Taijun rewarded!" Xie Taijun rewarded! ”
Yamamoto saw Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laugh, and his mood suddenly improved, and he said, "Yo Xi! Li San, your, the best dog in Japan! ”
The traitor hurriedly squeezed out a smile from his face and said: "Taijun has won the award, Taijun has won the award, and it is the glory of Li's life to be able to become a loyal dog and horse of the imperial army." ”
Yamamoto was even happier when he heard this, and said, "Yo Xi! Your conscience is great! Go ahead and open the way for the Imperial Army of Japan, hurry up! ”
The traitor surnamed Li leaned on his legs, straightened his chest, and shouted: "Haiyi! Then he ran to the front and led the way. This guy was also unlucky, and was praised by "Taijun" (is that a boast?). Then I don't know the east, west, north and south, and I don't look at my feet when I walk. As soon as he walked to the edge of the grove, he pricked a nail with his foot, and rolled on the ground in pain, and he was hit several times.
When the devil soldier next to him saw him fall to the ground, he thought that someone was ambushing in front of him, so he hurriedly followed him and fell to the ground, but he didn't expect to be hit. This devil soldier had a nail in his thigh, and he was covered in blood when he touched it with his hand. He was so angry that when he got up, he kicked the traitor and scolded: "Yours, your conscience is greatly broken!" Don't talk about nails, roll and work! ”
The Japanese devils were delayed on the road, and they had already withdrawn to the village where they were stationed last night. The village is called Chen, and the villagers are organizing an evacuation, but it is unrealistic for too many people to evacuate to safety all at once.
The three slippers glanced at everyone and saw that they were all ashamed. Do you think, throw the captain behind to block the enemy, and run away first, like no? Sanzi didn't mind and asked, "Have the pigeons who asked for help from the group come back?" ”
Liu Chang, the leader of the first squadron, hurriedly said: "Not yet!" At this time, I was afraid that I had just flown to the county seat. Just in case, we borrowed a horse from the villager and sent someone to ride to report the news. ”
Sanluozi sighed and said, "Even if the regiment seat sends troops soon, it will be too late, we must hold on here for a while to buy time for the evacuation of the nearby villagers." Which of you wants to stay? ”
Several officers stood up, and Liu Chang hurriedly said, "Brothers, don't fight with me!" The team has just broken up, and I am responsible. I want to stay and atone for my sins. ”
Sanzi's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Nonsense, this time the responsibility lies with me, and I have a fart relationship with you!" He also said: "The second squadron uses the squad as a unit to cover the evacuation and transfer of the people in the nearby villages, and the first squadron stays here with me!" ”
As soon as they set up their positions, the devil's search detachment came up. After all, those horse nails pierced a few people at most, and it was impossible to stop an army.
Thinking that the night owls had all been sacrificed, the three slippers felt a pain in their hearts, and said, "Put the devil close to fight, and everyone must use their strength to eat milk and avenge the sacrificed brothers!" ”
Liu Changshun patted his chest and said, "Captain, don't worry, I will be a bastard if I want to quit the battle alive this time!" ”
Sanyuzi glared at him and said, "That's not enough, as long as the task is completed, you can still retreat." ”
As he spoke, the devil's spearhead got closer and closer, and soon reached the head of the village. However, instead of entering the village immediately, they stopped at the junction.
Liu Changshun was a little anxious and said: "If the devil doesn't enter the village and goes directly to chase the people, then we will arrange it in vain!" ”
Sanyuzi thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, if that's the case, then let's let their big army stab them in the eyes!" ”
After a while, the devil's brigade drove over and lined up a long snake formation along the official road. There were many enemies this time. The position of the three slippers has a good view, but they can't even count how many troops the devil has, because the devil's line is too long, and there is still a section that has not been seen.
Liu Changshun smacked his lips and said, "The little devil of the dog day has invested so much!" There must be five or six hundred people, to say the least! ”
Sanluozi nodded and said, "Well, not only do you have a lot of troops, but you also have good equipment, and you have two Type 92 infantry guns." Damn, do you need to fight such a big battle against our guerrillas? ”
Liu Changshun said: "In my opinion, the devil must be going to the county seat!" Hey, I don't know how they are preparing. ”
When Sanyuzi heard this, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Oops! Tuanza, they're afraid they don't know the situation of the devils now! After speaking, he immediately called a messenger and asked him to rush to the county seat immediately, and be sure to report the situation of the devil's troops and equipment to the regimental headquarters (the carrier pigeons and cavalry did not know the enemy's troops and equipment when they transmitted the information before, so it was necessary to arrange someone to report the news).
The Japanese army did not blockade the village at this time, and the correspondent slipped out of the village smoothly. Sanzi just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw that the devil was untying the two infantry cannons from the horse's buttocks. He secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly beckoned to the brothers, saying, "Quick, all hide, the devil is going to open fire!" ”
The fighters hurriedly hid in improvised bunkers, and as soon as they lay down, the shells fell. Not only infantry artillery, but also grenadiers. However, the enemy did not know the specific location where they were hiding, and just bombarded indiscriminately, blowing up some of the villagers' houses.
The soldiers were angry and asked for battle, saying, "Captain, let's start fighting too!" ”
Sanluozi said: "Don't panic, the devil just made a tentative attack just now." We'll have to calm down, if we shoot and expose our position. Let's wait a little longer, most of the devils will send troops into the village to search, and then we will use the terrain to kill them! ”
The soldiers applauded, saying that they would kill a few more devils later. In the morning battle, everyone didn't even see the devil's hair, and ran back without firing a shot, holding their breath when they thought about it. Now that the devil has come to the door, everyone wants to get back to the field, so the desire to fight is very strong.
After several shots in a row, the devil's search team bent over and drilled in from the entrance of the village with a 38 big cover. The fighters held their breath and waited only for the order to open fire.
