Chapter 37: Defeat and Death

Sanchuzi looked around and saw that there was a small bend in the official road in front of him, and there was a small forest on the inner side of the bend. He was busy with the brethren in the guard squad running over, ready to hold on to this place and buy the brethren a breather.

The enemy's cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a knock on everyone's hearts. Sanluozi glanced at the brothers in the guard squad and said, "I'm afraid of death, it's still too late to leave!" If you're not afraid of death, let's fight with the little devil today! ”

None of the fighters left, and they shouted: "Fight!" Fight! "These warriors all have blood feuds with devils, and their will to fight is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.

Sanluozi's heart was hot and said, "Okay! Lao Tzu is not alive today, so he will die here with his brothers! ”

The soldiers also shouted: "Damn it, if you don't live, you'll die here!" ”

While talking, there was a burst of shouting and neighing, and the Japanese cavalry had already rushed to the front of the formation. With the order of the three slippers, the two Khazikaith machine guns opened fire in unison, and the bullets rushed towards the enemy with the flames of revenge. The cavalry company that rushed to the front fell to the ground with their horses, and the guy who had not died for a while lay on the ground and screamed loudly.

The cavalry behind seemed accustomed to death, and continued to charge forward, without the slightest hint of pause, even if the wounded accomplices were trampled under the hooves of their horses. Due to the narrowness of the official road, the cavalry also tried to spread out to the sides. However, there are farmland on both sides of the official road, and the war horse will not be able to raise the speed at all, and it will fall down if it is not good, so it is the war horse that is galloping on the official road that really threatens them.

Miyoko realizes that this may be the most treacherous battle of his life, and most likely the last. He shouted loudly, directing the two machine guns to fire desperately.

One of the advantages of the Hazikaith light machine is that as long as someone is on the side to catch the bomb board, it can shoot non-stop. Although this method of feeding bombs has been criticized, it is a life-saving weapon at this time! The charge of the Japanese cavalry was not without ferocity, but it could not resist the strafing of two machine guns, after all, it was a branch of the army that was destined to be eliminated.

The enemy suffered more than ten casualties one after another, and finally stopped. They were probably frightened by the tragic situation of their accomplices, and they stopped moving forward for a while. The morale of the fighters increased greatly when they saw that the enemy's offensive was contained.

The guard said happily to the three slippers: "Captain, the devil is cowardly, don't dare to rush again!" ”

The three slippers also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they had few people, and it would be difficult for the enemy to hold on if the enemy charged regardless of casualties. The enemy hesitated, giving them a chance to breathe and adjust.

While the enemy was lingering, the fighters of the guard squad were busy shooting with their guns in their hands. Their marksmanship is passable, and they can hit targets within 100 meters at least. The cavalry runs undulatingly, and it is indeed difficult to aim, but if it stops, it is a good live target.

When the cavalrymen saw that the people around them were knocked down one after another, they were afraid that they would also follow in their footsteps, so they panicked for a moment and hurriedly retreated. The devil officer roared a few times, and the cavalry swooped back again. The fighters were just about to open fire, but they saw the enemy circle in front of the formation and turned to the side of the position.

As I have just introduced, the farmland on both sides is not suitable for cavalry sprints, but there is no problem in cruising around. The cavalry of this era did not rely entirely on sabers to kill people, and they could also be fought with horse pistols when they were far away. What's even worse is that behind the cavalry, there is a large group of infantry rushing to this side. As long as it drags on for a while, the rest can be left to the infantry.

The guard squad leader saw the Japanese cavalry detouring to the two flanks of the position, and hurriedly said: "It's not good! Captain, the devil wants to outflank from both wings! ”

The three slippers were also anxious when they saw it, and hurriedly said: "What about the horse nails!" Quick, put the horse on the nails. Paved on the front and sides! "He was not afraid of the cavalry outflanking them, but of the cavalry bypassing them against the large forces that had already been routed. Fortunately, the Japanese did not understand the situation and did not do so.

The horse nail is also called Zhuge horse nail, which is said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang to deal with the cavalry of Cao Wei. This nail has four sharp points, and when thrown on the ground, one pointed upward, can pierce the soles of people and horses, and can block enemy attacks for a short time.

During this time, the security regiment's armament repair office had nothing to do, so Zheng Weiguo asked them to try to do some gadgets to practice their hands. This thing is simple to make, and all departments of the security regiment, including the militia, have allocated a lot. For the security regiment, which lacks weapons, it is more or less a supplement.

The guard squad leader said: "Captain, our ** nail is for dealing with infantry, and it has no effect on the cavalry!" ”

It's obviously called a horse nail, why is it useless for cavalry? It turns out that the war horses of the Three Kingdoms period did not have horseshoes, and it was not difficult to pierce the cuticle on the horse's hooves. But now the hooves of war horses are covered with thick horseshoe, and it is almost impossible to pierce with ordinary nails.

If it is specially made, it may be possible to make the horse slip even if it does not pierce the horseshoe. But the cost of this **nail is high, and it is very difficult to manufacture it with the level of the security regiment's repair station, plus the cavalry of the devil is rarely seen during this time, so there is no such thing at present.

Sanzi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Let's put it on!" Even if we all die, these nails can buy some time for the brothers behind us. In his mind, even if he couldn't stop the cavalry, it would be good to delay the enemy's infantry for a while.

However, the Japanese cavalry was cruising in all directions at this time, and from time to time they fired cold shots at the guerrilla positions. The warrior was suppressed and could not lift his head, so he could only prostrate on the ground, and there was no way to scatter the nails.

Everyone was in a hurry, and there was a howl of killing and giving from the official road ahead, and the devil's infantry was killed! This is really worse than ever.

As soon as the Japanese infantry came up, poof, poof, poof, grenadiers fired grenades and grenades. The guard suddenly pounced on Sanchuzi and said, "Captain, little ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a grenade had exploded around him, and shrapnel only knew how to kill, regardless of whether it was good or bad. Half of the guard's body was quickly soaked in blood.

Their position was too simple, without any effective defensive measures, and they could not withstand the ravages of shrapnel at all. In addition to the guard, several fighters were hit by shrapnel and were bleeding everywhere.

Sanyazi's ears were stunned, and his body was covered in the blood of the guards. He didn't care about being sad, and shouted at the guard squad leader: "You quickly take the brothers to withdraw!" I'm going to break it off! ”

The squad leader said, "Captain, you can withdraw!" I'll stay! The guerrillas can't live without you! ”

The three slippers were anxious, and scolded angrily: "If you are told to withdraw, you will withdraw!" grind and kill you! ”

This squad leader is a donkey, and he said, "If you kill me, I won't leave!" Xiao Huang, Xiao Hu, you drag the captain down for me! If something happens to the captain, I'll kill you both! ”

Without saying a word, the two fighters were about to take the three slippers away. Sanzizi had no choice but to say, "Okay! Good! Let's not go! The brothers are not afraid of death, so we will stay and fight the devil! It doesn't matter if we die, the group will avenge us! ”

The soldier Xiao Huang let go of his hand and said, "I'll listen to the captain!" There's only one left in my family, and it's boring to live, so I'll drag two more devils to hell later, so I'll go to my father and mother as soon as possible! ”

Hearing Xiao Huang talk about his father, a smile appeared on Xiao Hu's face, and he said, "Okay, even if I have killed two devils today, I will be avenged by killing one more of our family." ”

During this time, the three slippers did not fight back, and the devils did not bombard with grenadiers anymore, and the infantry bent over with guns and surrounded them, as if they wanted to catch them alive.

The three slippers grabbed the two box cannons and said in a low voice: "Don't move on your stomach, put the devil close to fight!" ”

The devil's infantry was getting closer and closer, and the three slippers were about to shout and fight, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves from behind them. The approaching Japanese soldiers were stunned when they heard the sound and hurriedly looked up ahead. Seeing that the attention of the Japanese army was diverted, Sanyozi hurriedly shouted and beaten. The surviving fighters opened fire one after another, knocking down several Japanese soldiers in succession. The Japanese were caught off guard and there was some confusion.

The cavalry, which was galloping on the official road, took advantage of the situation and rushed over, and they rushed past the side of the three slippers and bravely pounced on the devil's infantry.

The leader of the team was the night owl, and he withdrew with the second squadron to the village where the three slippers were stationed, and when he saw that there were twelve horses left there, he hurriedly selected more than ten dead soldiers, and rushed back on horseback.

The night owl saw that the three slippers were not dead, so he was not happy, and shouted: "Captain, you quickly withdraw!" Then a gust of wind rushed towards the enemy line.

Knowing that he would be sorry for the dead and undead brothers if he didn't leave, he ordered a retreat. There were only five brothers left in the guard squad, and they were still immersed in the tragedy of begging for death. The third slipper scolded and said, "Withdraw quickly, don't let the rescued brothers die in vain!" The brethren awoke from a dream, picked up their guns and retreated into the woods. As long as you don't get caught up by the Japanese before passing through the grove, you have a good chance of escaping.
