A company of Xu Wancai, the commander of the second battalion, and a company of Ding Jianzhong of the third battalion, were ambushed at the right end of the north of the road. The puppet army that Li Yunlong let go of at the left end happened to come to them.

While carrying out a thunderous blow over there, they were not far behind and launched a fierce attack.

The grenades that were closer were greeted, and the farther ones were fired with rifles, and the heavy machine guns were transferred to Li Yunlong's side to fight the devils, and only a few light machine guns were left.

But this is enough, many of the puppet armies were adapted from the defeat of the national army, surrendered to the Japanese, and were adapted.

A man with backbone, even if he is captured for a while, it is impossible to be a traitor and do it with devils.

Most of the people who did it with Little Japan were for mixed food. Whoever gives money and food, they give their lives.

Of course, you can't expect people to really work hard for the sake of making ends meet, right?

Just pretend.

So, Xu Wancai commanded two companies to attack the puppet army, and the puppet army directly exploded.

"Eight roads, we're in ambush!" Someone shouted urgently.

"Hide, brothers, find a place to hide!" This is a certain detachment leader, beckoning his men to look for cover and hide.

"Brothers, hit!"

Sun Erqing's voice shouting was far lower than the first two, and only a few cronies around him and a few Japanese soldiers a few steps behind him could hear it.

That is what he said, but looking at his actions, a hungry tiger pounced on food, and a lazy donkey rolled around, hiding in a dead corner between the road and the mountain beam, almost completely avoiding the direct fire of the Eighth Route Army.

He clutched the Mauser pistol in both hands, held it to his chest, and leaned against the stone to look up in fear.

Listening to the incessant sound of explosions, bullets whizzing over his head, he was like a fat pig about to be slaughtered, and his heart was terrified.

"Damn, this is an ambush by the main force of the Eighth Road, didn't you say that there will be no Eighth Road! Kazuan Nakano on a dog day, net fucking nonsense. ”

He also saw the Japanese army following behind him, and was attacked more violently. The Taijun, who was invincible in the past, is now dead, and he can no longer slap his big mouth.

His subordinates fought separately, and Sun Erqing was not prepared to command them. Those who perform the most prominently on the battlefield are the easiest to be targeted and the easiest to be killed.

He wasn't going to seek death, just stay here honestly for a while, and see if he could find a chance to break out.

However, he didn't want to, others would force him to do it.

The squad that followed them during the sweep sent a military officer to supervise him.

Jun Cao is a veteran, can speak some simple Chinese, as soon as he comes up, he points fingers: "Sun Sang, go and command your subordinates to break through along the road, which has not yet been blocked by the Eighth Road." ”

"Quick!"

Jun Cao's order made Sun Erqing greet all the female relatives of his family in his heart.

You said that there is no Eight Roads here, and now the Eight Roads are ambushed here. Why did you go earlier?

You said that there are no eight roads in front of you, who knows if the eight roads have been blocked, and they are waiting for them to get on?

If it's good, let them break through, and if it's ugly, I'm afraid it's for them to attract firepower!

Everyone knows that the gun shoots the first bird.

Sun Erqing wanted to refuse, but the devil was so powerful that he didn't even dare to say a word.

At the urging of Jun Cao, he reluctantly shouted loudly: "Old Seven, it's not okay to be beaten like this, there is no Eighth Road in front of the highway, organize the brothers and give Lao Tzu a breakthrough from the front." ”

is known as Lao Qi, one of the four squad leaders under him. He is also his sworn brother.

At this moment, under the ambush of Xu Wancai's two companies on the north side of the road, the puppet army suffered heavy casualties, and it already meant that it could not hold on.

Sun Er's liquidation was a life-saving straw, Lao Qi shouted left and right, conveyed the order, and at the same time temporarily formed a breakthrough team of several squads, ready to break through along the road.

And all this fell into the eyes of the commander of the first battalion, the second company and the first platoon on the south side of the road.

Ambushes also need to be strategic, the south side of the road is worse than the north side of the road, and in the case of ambushes, it is impossible to attack the enemy on the road at the first time.

But when the battle starts and the sound of gunfire draws the enemy's attention to it, they can move forward into the attack range.

After the puppet army of the highway was attacked, most of them hid in the dead corner between the highway and the mountain beam on the north side, and a small number attacked towards the mountain beam on the south side, wanting to occupy this parallel high point, so that they were no longer in a disadvantageous position.

But it was too difficult, it was equivalent to selling his back to Balu, and he was hit by the direct fire behind him, and he retreated one after another.

Resist on the spot, being at a disadvantage in the terrain, it is easy to be beaten, but it is difficult to fight in eight ways.

Breaking through became the best option.

The platoon leader came up at the right time, although the third battalion, which served as a reserve, was rushing through the ravine, and the puppet army would probably run into it head-on if it broke out, and it would eventually be a fish caught in the net.

But a piece of fat that can be eaten now, why give them three battalions?

The platoon leader stared at Lao Qi and the others who were about to break through, and clearly ordered: "Brothers, just give me the most joyful one to jump, grenade." ”

Knock out the most organized, and the remaining stragglers will not be a cause for concern.

Xu Wancai also noticed the platoon that was thrown into the battle, and he also commanded, letting the light machine guns weave a fire net to block the puppet army that was preparing to break through.

All of a sudden, the puppet army suffered heavy casualties, and Sun Erqing, who was paying close attention to the breakthrough troops, closed his eyes in pain.

It's not that he regrets that the seventh brother is dead, and he can recognize his brother when he is gone. The more than 20 subordinates who were killed and wounded were nothing. If you don't have it, you can recruit again.

But looking at Balu like this, he won't let them go today. And this terrain is difficult to escape.

He was just worried about his life and future.

I heard from my subordinates that the Eighth Route Army gave preferential treatment to prisoners and did not kill them. And indeed, many of his subordinates were captured and finally released.

Sun Erqing silently remembered these.

Twenty-five minutes after the battle began, Ding Jianzhong came up with the movement of the three battalions, completely blocking the road ahead.

Xu Wancai immediately made a decision and ordered: "Comrades, get on the bayonet and rush!" ”

The warriors descended like tigers and charged towards the puppet army.

Someone shouted, "Kill! ”

Some people also shouted: "Shoot or kill!" ”

The remnants of the hundred and ten puppet army have long been frightened. Seeing that the Eighth Route was strong and the will to resist was getting weaker and weaker, he had no idea of fighting bayonets at all.

The results are obvious.

But the battle was not over, and Xu Wancai knew that the Japanese army was the enemy. He personally led the team, rushed to the road, divided the battlefield, and prepared to launch the final charge.

When the puppet army was already doomed to defeat, the Japanese army was still resisting stubbornly.

"Damn, that's a hard stubble."

On the south side of the road, Zhang Dabiao, who commanded a company, said with a sigh.

The Japanese troops of the Sakata Wing were indeed stubborn in their will to fight. In the same bad situation, even when they were hit by more firepower, they did not lose the will to resist and let others slaughter them.

Nakano Ichiman hurriedly got off his horse, first with a kind of fury that was teased. He swore that there would be no Eight Roads here, but he was ambushed by Eight Roads here.

Slap in the face, it almost sucked his face.

But as an experienced commander, he quickly calmed down. They also found that there were no enemy troops on the mountain beam on the south side of the road, and it was an important terrain for them to fight against the eight roads on the north side.

Nakano Ichiyasu immediately made a decision and ordered one of his squadron leaders to concentrate his forces and occupy the mountain beam on the south side of the road.

The devil's counterattack was very strong, especially the grenadier in the hands of the veteran, which caused Li Yunlong a lot of trouble.

The blockade on the north side of the road was not satisfactory, if it weren't for Zhang Dabiao who led people to rush up in time and hit a wave of counter-impact.

almost let the devils occupy the southern mountain beam, making the entire ambush fall short.

The devil's counterattack is far from over.

Compared with the two main companies on the mountain beam on the north side of the road, the strength of one company in Zhang Dabiao's hand is a little less.

The Japanese took them here as a weak point and organized three charges in half an hour. Twice rushed off the road to the mountain beam.

Zhang Dabiao led people to fight a white-knuckle battle with them, and pressed them back twice to hold the Shanliang position.

The road ahead has been cut off, and Kazuya Nakano can see clearly. In the case of less and less capital in hand, it is impossible to occupy a high ground and hold on.

Reinforcements?

Also think about the speed of Noguchi Daisa's march of fifty miles in three days, and the fact that he opened a long distance with him today in order to catch up with the schedule.

Nakano Kazuan reluctantly ruled out this impossible option, and there was only one way left - to break through backwards.

It's not that he didn't think that since the Eighth Road had set up a pocket array to ambush him here, how could he not put an army to cut off his back road!

But don't you fight because there is an enemy behind you?

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they also have to go to the tiger mountain.

Nakano Ichiman gave the last order to the only remaining lieutenant under his command: "Break through backwards!" ”

Lu Wenyuan led the third company, and when the Japanese army completely entered the encirclement, they had already followed up and sealed the gap.

He said to the soldiers before: "Today, I set up a pocket array, which is to eat all the devils in one bite." Our company has the heaviest task, and we must not let a single devil escape from here. ”

The soldiers replied one after another: "Company commander, we will never let go of a devil." This time, they must know how powerful our Eighth Route Army is. ”

Wang Desheng also said a few words, but the angle he stood at was different from Lu Wenyuan.

He said: "Comrades, there are more than 300 devils, more than 200 puppet soldiers, at least 500 autumn clothes. Wipe them all out, and our regiment won't have to spend the winter in a single coat. Comrades, do you have confidence? ”

The officers and men of the third company were screaming one by one, and they were eager to immediately beat the little devils.

Lü Wenyuan led the third company to block the rear road of the Japanese army, and did not immediately launch a general attack on the Japanese army.

A soldier asked: "Company commander, the battle in front is lively, why don't we go up?" I have to wait for the little devil to come over by himself.

That's too grinding, why don't we rush up and him now? ”

Lu Wenyuan was behind the improvised fortifications, smoking a cigarette pouch, staring at the direction where the Japanese army was, silently waiting.

Hearing the warrior's question, he turned his head and replied, "Have you ever hunted?" Do you know that forcing the beast to have no way to survive is the most dangerous.

The ancients called this a trapped beast, and there were also dogs who jumped over the wall. ”

"Now that the little devil is being beaten in our ambush circle, let's take advantage of it.

If we rush forward now, the devil is dying and struggling, maybe there will be a fatal impact.

It's not that they'll be able to get out, but that's going to cost us a lot. ”

"The company commander is right." Wang Desheng put down the binoculars and instructed: "Comrades, when the devils break through to us, don't be stingy with ammunition and hit hard."

As long as the first wave was withstood and the Japanese army lost its sharpness, victory would be easy. When the time comes, you will behave. ”

In the patient waiting, the puppet army has been surrounded and annihilated, and more than half of the Japanese army has been consumed. Most of the remaining squadrons, getting rid of the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the road ambush circle, rushed towards the position of the third company.

On one side is the new force that has been accumulating strength for a long time, and on the other side is the remnants of the defeated army who have lost their eyes and jumped over the wall in a hurry.

The Japanese army knew very well that if it was surrounded and annihilated, its weapons and ammunition would definitely fall into the hands of the enemy, no less than that of the enemy.

So under the strict orders of Nakano Kazuyasu, they completely abandoned the dogma in the infantry drill code and poured all their firepower on the positions of the third company.

The officers and men of the 3rd Company, who were holding back a breath of fire, also let go of their hands and feet with the words of the instructor and gave the enemy the strongest and powerful counterattack.

As a result, the battle entered a white-hot state at the beginning.

Resisted by the eight roads.

Nakano Kazuan's eyes were red, and his red face was black and red by gunsmoke, more and more like a devil who came out of hell.

He's anxious, he's scared.

The eight roads behind him were pressing forward step by step, narrowing their range of activities. The eight-way resistance in front of him was stubborn, and the position was as immobile as a mountain.

The Imperial soldiers, who were attacking with all their might, fell in front of the Eighth Route Position.

What impact this defeat would have on his career was something he had stopped thinking about half an hour ago.

At that time, he was thinking about how to break out and survive.

Now, he can only think about how to die a decent one.

Whether to commit suicide like a coward, or to take up the spirit of bushido, draw your sword and fight to the death with the enemy.

Again, this is an easier choice for him to make.

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Hooray!"

The Japanese soldiers, led by the detachment leader, the military cao, or the squad leader, shouted the slogans they had uttered countless times on weekdays, and launched the final attack.

Even louder than their voices was the charge of the Eighth Route Army and the shouts of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army - "Kill!" ”

Behind the Japanese army, Li Yunlong took the ghost-headed broadsword and almost rushed to the front, slashing a devil with one sword.

He did not look like a regimental commander at all, like the most ordinary warrior, and launched the final charge with the officers and soldiers under his command.

Zhang Dabiao rushed down from the south side of the road, the same ghost-headed big knife, playing tiger and tiger. Three strikes and five divided by two, cut down two devils, and fought with a devil army Cao.

But if you want to say who is the most conspicuous on the battlefield where the bayonets are red, it is not these two. It was Lu Wenyuan, the commander of the third company.

The size of 1.9 meters made him stand out in the crowd, and the 38 big cover with a bayonet seemed to be the most convenient cold weapon in his hand.

Lu Wenyuan rushed left and right to kill, and he killed the Japanese army in front of Li Yunlong.

"Hey, you kid is really, the devil met you, and he really ran into Hades." Li Yunlong cheered loudly for him.

Zhang Dabiao saw him, but he had a straight face. Rushing so fast that it is out of touch with the troops, who will command the third company?

"Lu Wenyuan, is the mouth blocked? You can't let go of a devil today, let it go, Lao Tzu is the only one you can ask! ”

"Battalion commander, after we break off, you can put a hundred hearts!" After Lu Wenyuan finished speaking, he turned around and rushed to the devil pile again.

Kill one more pair and return to the officers and soldiers of the third company, and the matter will be over!

PS: I learned a sentence in Japanese today: Hooray, Japanese reads on board.
