Chapter 284: Dealing with cavalry

Next, Qiao Youhua aimed the muzzles of the guns at the other four pillboxes, and after the four cannons were fired, almost all the devil's firepower points were destroyed, and the devil soldiers in the pillboxes and turrets were killed and wounded.

Only some devils behind the sandbag fortifications between the pillboxes are still stubbornly firing at the Eighth Route Army, but they no longer have an advantage.

As Qiao Youhua fired another shot, overturning a large section of the devil's sandbag fortifications, many devil soldiers were directly blown out.

The devil's fortifications were suddenly torn open a huge gap.

The angry guerrillas who had already been suppressed by the devils jumped up one after another, and Sun Dahai took the lead in charging and shouting: "Comrades, rush, avenge the sacrificed brothers!" โ€

Nearly a thousand soldiers let out a thunderous roar and rushed towards the Japanese army with overwhelming momentum.

Having lost the support of a solid and perfect firepower point, coupled with the deterrence caused by the shelling, the remaining nearly 100 devils were finally timid in the face of the tidal charge of nearly 1,000 guerrilla officers and men of the Eighth Route Army.

They all turned and fled.

Of course, the guerrillas were not polite, and the weapons in their hands opened fire one after another, and a dense rain of bullets poured out, and the devils who hit them fell to the ground one after another.

In the end, these devil remnants were chased to the vicinity of the railway and were wiped out one after another.

At the end of the battle, the partisans began to clean up the battlefield, and although the results of this battle were good, they also paid a heavy price of casualties.

Combined with the attrition of the previous attack on Shimen, the 1,300 guerrillas at the time of departure are now less than 1,000, with more than 300 casualties, and some of them are seriously injured and have to be sent away urgently.

These were done by some local guerrillas and underground party members, and the wounded were sent to the homes of some villagers in the surrounding villages to recuperate, but fortunately, Qiao Youhua did not have to worry about them.

It has to be said that the foundation of the Eighth Route Army among the masses is much stronger than that of other local armed forces.

Despite the heavy casualties, the remaining guerrillas experienced these battles and grew up rapidly.

Whether it is marksmanship or psychological elements during the war, it has been greatly improved compared to the beginning.

This local anti-Japanese armed force, under the leadership of Qiao Youhua, is growing and transforming at an astonishing speed, from a rookie in the war, to a dirt road that cannot be put on the table, and is making rapid progress in the direction of the anti-Japanese elite.

"Captain Zhang died." Sun Dahai and Zhao Youde were both a little sad, and walked up to Qiao Youhua to report.

Not far behind them, two warriors carried a body covered with a white cloth, which was Zhang Ling's.

Qiao Youhua didn't speak, but gave a heavy military salute.

The surrounding warriors followed suit, and silence is better than sound at this time!

At this time, Zheng Yunshan suddenly came in a hurry with a few soldiers, and after he was defeated at Shimen, he was sent by Qiao Youhua to act as scouts with a few skilled soldiers to monitor the movements of the devils in the direction of Luquan.

Zheng Yunshan and several fighters around him were all out of breath, obviously too tired.

Seeing Qiao Youhua, he didn't have time to salute, so he said: "Commander, it's not good, a large number of devil cavalry are coming from the direction of Luquan, and the number of them is at least more than a thousand horses!" Just talk! โ€

"Huh?" Qiao Youhua's expression turned grim when he heard this, it seems that the devil reacted very quickly! Immediately he commanded the people: "Gather your troops at once and retreat immediately." โ€

Zhao Youde, Sun Dahai and the others were a little embarrassed and said: "Chief, this battlefield has not been cleaned yet, and many weapons, ammunition and loot have not had time to be collected. โ€

"Don't do it, throw it all away, let the comrades bring enough weapons and bullets, and evacuate the stone gate quickly, quickly! That's an order! Qiao Youhua waved his hand and said solemnly.

"Yes!" Seeing that Qiao Youhua was really moved, Sun Dahai, Zhao Youde and others hurriedly stepped forward and responded,

Qiao Youhua said to Hu Ling'er again: "You go and bring the radio station and withdraw quickly, and withdraw with the troops in the direction of Zhengding, there is another Yongling River not far west of here, cross the river, blow up the bridge, and you can block the pursuit of the devil's cavalry!" Then we will be able to get rid of the pursuit of the devils. โ€

"What about you?" Hu Linger asked worriedly.

"I took Yunshan and Scarface to block the devil, and the devil's reinforcements arrived when they spoke, and it would not work if they didn't block it, once they caught up, our team would be miserable." Qiao Youhua is by no means alarmist, in this kind of plain area, once he is caught up by thousands of devil cavalry.

Not to mention that this guerrilla force of the Eighth Route Army that is still growing, even if it is the elite under his command, it is also a great trouble.

Of course, their own troops must have been equipped with a surprising number of submachine guns and machine guns, but the result is another story.

The most important thing is that Qiao Youhua understands that if he is entangled by the devil's cavalry and can't get rid of it quickly, it will be dangerous when a large number of devil's follow-up troops catch up.

"Is it too dangerous for you to stay behind?" Hu Linger suddenly did not follow.

Qiao Youhua said with a smile: "You forgot the devil armored car we captured in the city, and a few military trucks, with them, the devil's cavalry wants to stop me, but it's not so easy." โ€

The captain of the Japanese cavalry brigade who was in charge of leading the team was named Qianchuan Island, with the rank of junior lieutenant, when he rushed to the outside of Shimen City with more than 1,000 Japanese cavalry.

He found that there was no trace of any soldier in the entire Shimen City, and just as he was about to send someone into the city to take a look, an armored vehicle printed with the imperial army's plaster flag led two military trucks that had been simply modified suddenly rushed out from the north of the city.

Some devil cavalry scouts discovered this anomaly and immediately reported it to Chikawajima Shaosa.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qianchuan Island drew his adjutant sword and led his cavalry around the city and chased after him.

In the armored car, Qiao Youhua personally acted as the driver, and on the roof of the car stood two soldiers selected by him, who were operating the Type 92 heavy machine gun at the moment.

"Chief, the devil cavalry seems to have caught up!" An ammunition man and co-machine gunner said to Qiao Youhua in a hurried voice.

"Don't worry, when the devil catches up, I'll turn the head of the car, and you can just strafe as much as you want!" That is, you will not drive armored vehicles, otherwise Lao Tzu himself will be the machine gunner!

This heavy machine gun is the nemesis of the devil's cavalry, killing the devil is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables, so cool! โ€

In the military truck that followed closely behind, Scarface and Zheng Yunshan were also complaining in the same way, because none of the guerrillas could drive a truck, so both of them became drivers like Qiao Youhua.

Other fighters served as machine-gun shooters.

The compartments of the two military trucks were improvised with sandbags and planks to form an improvised fortification, and the machine gunners relied on the wagons to strafe them.

The two cars were equipped with a total of ten machine gunners, ten light machine guns, and in addition, each car was equipped with an additional five riflemen with grenades, just in case.
