"What, the Chinese cavalry? They even came to attack the Imperial Army at night, damn it! Yokoyama was first shocked when he heard this, and then furious.

Chief of Staff Nakakurume nodded and said: "Yes, sir, and the enemy's choice of attack position is also very tricky, it is the combination of the Imperial Army and the cavalry of the Imperial Army, and now they have torn through the defense line for hundreds of meters, and the Imperial Army is already in chaos." ”

The commander of the 26th Division, Anda Twenty-three, said: "Chief Yokoyama, the enemy's night attack, is the night attack of our department canceled first?" ”

Yokoyama was about to agree, but his chief of staff, Nakakurume, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes, and said to stop: "Slow." ”

Yokoyama Isamu and Anda Twenty-Three both looked up at him in surprise, and the former said, "Nakaku-kun, what's wrong?" ”

Nakakurume said: "Division commander, I think we don't need to cancel the night attack of the 26th Division. ”

"Oh? Why, let's hear it? "Isamu Yokoyama and Adachi Twenty-Three are curious, now that the enemy is sneaking up on their positions, do they want to continue?

Nakakurume said: "Sir, think about it carefully, the people of China are now attacking our position, it stands to reason that we should have been alarmed, and all the troops should be used to guard against the attacking forces that block them."

We will not attack them again at this time, but we will do the opposite, and the night attack plan will be carried out as usual, and we will definitely be able to catch the enemy by surprise! ”

"As for the task of blocking the enemy's night attack troops, it is enough to give it to our 1st Division, because the scale of the cavalry strength of the Chinese people has always been small, although it is impossible to judge its specific strength at night, but it is absolutely impossible for this cavalry alone to break through our deep defense." Nakakurume has absolute confidence in saying these words.

After all, the total strength of their two master regiments together is 50,000 or 60,000 people, of which the 1st Division has 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the combat force is as high as more than 20,000 people.

What's more, they still have positions to hold.

Yokoyama's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but nod and said, "Yo Xi, the chief of staff is reasonable, so let's do it." ”

After saying this, he said to An Da 23, the commander of the 26th Division: "Anda-kun, Zhongjiu-kun's method is good and very feasible, what do you think?" ”

Anda Twenty-three Heart Dao, you have decided to do this, what else can Lao Tzu say?

On the surface, he bowed his head slightly with a respectful attitude and said: "I also think this method is good, and I should try it." ”

"Okay, since Anda-kun doesn't make sense for you, then do it, order your assault troops, and the night attack battle plan will be carried out as usual.

Chief of Staff Nakahisa, immediately mobilize the 1st Infantry Wing and the 49th Infantry Wing of the 1st Brigade of our department to block the attack of the Dragon's Tooth Column with all their might, and also order the 1st Cavalry Wing to make a detour from our attack position and flank the enemy! ”

"Hay!" Adachi Twenty-three and Nakakurume bowed their heads at the same time, and then turned around and left.

Soon, thousands of people from the two main field wings of the 1st Division were mobilized one after another, rushed to the battle area along the communication trenches of the sortie positions built by the puppet army during the day, and successively joined the blocking battle against the Longya cavalry troops.

With the addition of the devil's elite infantry, Zhao Tiezhu and the soldiers' assault did become a little more difficult, and in the dark night, tongues of fire continued to shoot out from the devil's position, and it was the enemy's light and heavy machine guns that were constantly firing at them.

As more and more devils joined, the assault of the cavalry battalion gradually lost its power, and at this time, a Japanese cavalry suddenly came out of the oblique stab.

Although Zhao Tiezhu reacted in time and sent part of the cavalry to intercept it, the situation suddenly became critical.

Thinking of Qiao Youhua's instructions before departure, he immediately made a decision and ordered the cavalry behind him: "Each company alternates to cover and withdraw!" ”

The cavalrymen received the order, without the slightest hesitation, they turned their horses and left, and the submachine guns in their hands continued to fire in the direction of the devil's position.

With the cover of their own firepower, the cavalry was able to quickly break away from the battle, withdraw from the Devil Position that broke through, and wait until the Devil infantry and the puppet army reacted and launched a pursuit.

The Dragontooth cavalry had withdrawn several hundred meters, and this was the advantage of the cavalry.

The devil's cavalry was not slow to react, and directly followed and chased up, but was hit by the fierce fire of the cavalry battalion soldiers led by Zhao Tiezhu.

The submachine guns in the hands of the cavalry soldiers were strafing while retreating, and the dense rain of bullets made up for the accuracy problem in the dark night, and gave the devil cavalry who were chasing the target large and rushing in clusters a head-on blow.

This is the advantage of the submachine gun, and the devil cavalry, who is also chasing on horseback, is not capable of shooting such a dense rain of bullets in the dark night.

Therefore, although they also opened fire while pursuing, the low hit rate was scary because of the obstruction of their line of sight at night and the lack of accuracy.

As more and more of their own cavalry were shot and fell from their horses, blocking the running and pursuit of the follow-up cavalry, the devil cavalry trampled on each other, and the people turned on their horses, falling into confusion, and had to stop the pursuit.

More than 1,000 devil cavalry didn't even catch a single hair of their opponents, but they lost hundreds of horsemen, which can be described as a heavy loss.

On the other side, the puppet army attack position corresponding to the forward position of the Dragon's Tooth Regiment.

A group of about 500 elite devil infantry quietly moved and gathered in the two trenches at the front of the position.

One of the devil officers in the lead, a young man, with a saber and a Southern 14th pistol on his waist, came to the crowd with a grim face, and shouted to the crowding subordinates around him: "Warriors of the empire, the division commander ordered us to carry out the attack as usual.

For His Majesty the Emperor and for the Japanese Empire, the time has come to serve you, show your martial bravery, and let the Dragon's Tooth Column taste the power of our 26th Division! ”

"Long live the Emperor......," the devil commandos echoed in a low voice with feverish eyes.

The devil Shaozuo nodded with great satisfaction, Huo Ran pulled out the saber on his left waist, the cold light flashed, the sharp saber came out of the sheath, and he waved the knife forward and shouted in a deep voice: "Warriors of the empire, kill Gaga!" Sortie!!! ”

After saying that, he was the first to take the lead and jumped out of the trench, and more than 500 devil soldiers followed him out of the trench with various weapons, and under the cover of night, they touched the forward position of the Dragon's Tooth Regiment.

In the forward trenches of the Dragon's Tooth Regiment, the soldiers were already alarmed by the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the devil's position, and they didn't sleep at all.

Just when the soldiers stood up from time to time and looked up, surprised by it, the regiment commander Scarface appeared on the forward position with several guard fighters armed with submachine guns.

Several company platoon commanders hurriedly saluted: "Regiment commander, why are you here?" ”

"Don't patronize and watch the excitement, cheer up Lao Tzu to prevent the devil from sneaking up!" Scarface didn't answer, but shouted in a deep voice with a dark face.

A platoon commander said a little confused: "Regiment commander, aren't our people attacking the devil's position?" At this time, can the devil still take care of attacking us? ”

"Anything is possible, and sometimes crises happen in places and times when you thought they were impossible!" Scarface said coldly: "Okay, cheer me up, go back to your command position, and arrange a guard post, just in case!" ”

Seeing the regiment commander like this, several company platoon commanders stepped forward and saluted: "Yes!" Head. ”

After several company platoon commanders retreated, Scarface came to a forward observation post, and looked at it, it was pitch black, and he observed for a while, and just as he wanted to turn around and leave to return to the regimental headquarters, a very slight abnormal sound suddenly came from not far ahead, as if something fell to the ground.

On the wilderness a hundred meters away, there was indeed a devil infantry, who accidentally tripped over a corpse of the Imperial Allied Army at his feet and fell.

The noise was the crash of his body and weapon on the ground.

Scarface used to be a bandit, and his hearing was very good, but now that he is in the Eighth Route Army, he has experienced the baptism and tempering of so many battles, and his intuition tells him that there may be a situation.

He didn't say much, but reached out to a soldier and asked for a pistol that fired flares, the flares were produced by the Dragon's Tooth Arsenal itself, this thing was not high-tech, so while producing weapons and ammunition, Qiao Youhua asked the arsenal to produce a batch.

The main infantry units of the basic dragon tooth column are equipped with the main infantry units on the front line, which have been rarely used in the past few months, but today they are put to use.

Taking the firing gun and pulling the bolt, Scarface raised diagonally towards the front of the trench, decisively pulled the trigger, and fired a signal diagonally into the night sky ahead.

Endless white blazing light bloomed in vain in the black sky, dazzling like fireworks, dispelling the pitch-black night, illuminating the surrounding area of dozens of meters as bright as day.

The devil commando, who was carefully sneaking around with a gun on his waist, suddenly had nothing to hide, and was suddenly exposed to Scarface and the soldiers in the front line.

Under the light of the bright signal flare, the devil Shaozuo who led the team was obviously stunned, but soon he came back to his senses and said angrily: "Baga, charge at full speed!" Kill Quack! ”

More than five hundred devils suddenly quickened their pace, straightened up and rushed forward quickly with their guns in their hands.

Scarface's expression changed, and he was taken aback and immediately pulled out the matching gun on his waist, and shouted: "There are devils, give me a hard beating!" ”

Before the sound fell, the Mauser pistol in his hand was already raised, and the trigger was pulled again and again.

Bang bang bang...... Twenty box guns continued to fire like a submachine gun, and the sound of gunfire broke the calm of the position.

Immediately afterwards, the other fighters on the position also recovered from the shock, and all kinds of weapons opened fire one after another.

The roar of general-purpose machine guns, the strafing of submachine guns, and the volley of Mauser rifles were intertwined and resounded throughout the night sky.

Several company and platoon commanders commanded the soldiers to open fire and block the attack, and at the same time, they had palpitations, if the regiment commander hadn't come to inspect in person, maybe the little devils would have taken advantage of the loopholes tonight.

In addition to being afraid, they all shouted at the top of their throats one after another: "Beat, beat Lao Tzu hard!" Don't let the little devils rush over! ”
