"Tick-tock......" Before the Japanese troops who had just reacted from the panic could organize an effective counterattack, the loud sound of the charge horn reached their ears.

The two sides of the highway had not yet encountered a moving ditch just now, and two rows of dense Eighth Route Army suddenly poured out.

Some were carrying rifles with bayonets, some were holding machine guns, and some were holding pistols.

Shoot as you rush down the road.

The whizzing bullets were condescending, and they all flew down the road.

"Ahh Baga, I got shot......"

"Quickly counterattack, the machine gunner will shoot immediately and block the Eighth Route Army!"

"Resist, the main force is coming, give me all the resistance!"

All kinds of screams came out of the mouths of the devils, and there were constantly devils who braved the oncoming bullets and picked up their rifles to fight back.

However, under the attack of absolute superiority in strength and firepower, the devil's already small number of troops continued to suffer casualties.

Although several companies of the Eighth Route Army also suffered casualties, these casualties were completely negligible.

In less than half a minute, hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops were killed next to the road.

"Greet the rest of the devils with grenades and grenades, throw grenades!" The leader of the platoon shouted loudly.

More than 200 grenades and grenades emitting white smoke smashed into the highway and exploded, and the violent explosion sound was as terrifying as thunder.

Taking advantage of the fact that the devil was blown up by the grenade rain and suffered heavy losses, hundreds of people took to the highway in one go.

"Immediately replenish the guns for the devils, take away what you can take away, and retreat immediately after a minute!" Hearing the sound of shell explosions already sounding behind him, Feng Tao, who was personally only able to fight this raid, immediately realized that the devil reinforcements were coming, and then ordered.

A round of three shells, constantly smashed on the road and exploded. At the beginning, the devils who were in a hurry were caught off guard, and more than a dozen people were directly killed and injured.

But as everyone quickly dispersed and hidden, although the shells were still scary, it was difficult to achieve the results of a large explosion.

Unless the cannonball hits the devil directly, even if he is lying on his stomach, the scorching air wave and shock wave can injure or shock him to death.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army must be planning to block us with artillery fire to support the first squadron!" The deputy captain looked at the imperial army that fell under the artillery fire not far away, and said very anxiously.

The captain reacted quickly, and made a decision with a frown: "They only have three mortars, and they want to block our delusions at that time!" ”

"Order the troops to bypass the road and rush forward, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army attacking the first squadron is very strong, and the first squadron will definitely not hold out for too long!"

By the time the order reached the ears of the soldiers in front, almost two minutes had passed. Coupled with the time delayed by the shelling, more than 600 devils stopped for three minutes before continuing to rush forward under the interception of three mortars.

And it was this precious three minutes that Feng Tao commanded the troops to successfully kill on the road, end the battle in one minute, and simply clean the battlefield in one minute, and then everyone carried a lot of captures, and withdrew from the battlefield with an excited face to continue the task of holding the devil's nose.

The captain of the brigade on his horse had just rushed forward less than two hundred meters when a cavalry communications soldier rushed back along the road.

"Captain, the first squadron has been wiped out, but we have found at least fifty corpses of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield!"

"Eight Geya Road, it's still a few minutes late. The cunning Eighth Route Army, they have already calculated it, concentrate all their firepower to eat our first squadron, and give us a dismount! Baga, I must catch them, kill them all, and take revenge! The captain's anger surged up at once, and then he scolded loudly.

The communication soldier continued to report: "Also, the main force of the Eighth Route Army ran away after cleaning up the battlefield, and is now retreating due east, and it must be trying to retreat to their station!" ”

"It's not that easy to slip out of our noses!" The captain said with a calm face, his words full of murderous aura.

"Ordered the troops to continue the pursuit, the Eighth Route Army must have brought a large number of wounded and could not go fast. As long as we chase, we will definitely be able to catch up with them! The captain, who was radiating anger and killing all over his body, began to give orders directly.

"Also, tell a few squadron leaders that no one can take the lead in the next pursuit, and the whole team will pursue in a group, and we must not give the Eighth Route Army a chance to break through us! Everybody's got it! ”

Feng Tao ran with his troops for less than a kilometer before catching up with Yan Song.

"Battalion Commander Yan, the fight just now was really cool, in a few minutes, more than 100 devils in a squadron were killed, clean and neat, and many were captured. This is almost unimaginable in the old troops! As soon as he saw Yan Song, Feng Tao said excitedly.

This battle is not only a battle that Feng Tao personally commanded after joining the Independent Regiment, but also the first time he saw the powerful firepower of the Independent Regiment, and it was normal for him to be excited.

Yan Song understood his current mood very well, thinking that when he was still a company commander, he fought with the regiment commander for the first time, and used firepower to destroy the enemy according to the regiment commander's combat method, and wiped out an infantry squad of the Japanese army at one time, and the excitement at that time was no less than the current Feng Tao.

But at the moment of the great enemy, there is not much time for Feng Tao to get excited.

"Deputy Commander, it's good if there is a seizure. With that, we have another company of recruits to be fully armed! ”

"The position in front has been repaired, and I plan to leave a main platoon and a recruit to block the devil for ten minutes. Give the devils the illusion that they are chasing too closely, and we have to leave our troops to block the attack, so that they can be more assured to pursue us. I don't know if you have any other ideas, deputy commander! ”

Feng Tao, who was in a good mood, shook his head directly and replied: "This idea is very good, just fight like this, I don't have any opinion!" ”

"In addition, I will stay to stop the devil, but the crooked handle I captured the devil just now will be left behind, the stronger the firepower of the blocking, the more the devil will believe that we are cornered!"

More than 600 devils who were pressing step by step quickly rushed to the front of the blocking position.

At this time, Feng Tao was directing the troops to further strengthen the position.

Seeing that the blocking position temporarily dug out by the Eighth Route Army was still being dug out of the soil, the heavy face of the captain directly became fanatical.

"Yo Xi, my inference is true. The Eighth Route Army must not be able to run fast because it carries a large number of wounded, otherwise they would definitely not have left behind the army. You must know that on the way to retreat, there is only one ending for the troops behind the palace, and that is the annihilation of the whole army! The captain shouted with a confident face.

"Your Excellency, my second squadron requests the main attack, strive to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army with one attack, and eliminate them!" A squadron leader immediately stepped forward to fight.

"Yo Xi, it's you. Artillery and heavy machine-gun squads were ordered to cover, and the second squadron attacked! The confident captain did not hesitate and ordered directly.

Due to the limited terrain, the second squadron dispatched only one infantry squad.

The remaining two squads, together with the heavy machine gun squad, provided fire cover in the rear.
