Seeing that the political commissar and the chief of staff subconsciously wanted to persuade themselves, Brigade Commander Chen interrupted as soon as he raised his hand.

"We have to fight this battle, Chief of Staff, how much ammunition do we have in our hands!"

"10,000 rounds of bullets of all kinds, 18,000 grenades, 300 shells. Of course, these ammunition were only stocked by the brigade headquarters, not including the ammunition in the hands of the regiments below and in the hands of the fighters! ”

"Enough!" Brigade Commander Chen is more confident.

Pointing to Wuxiang on the map, he ordered: "You immediately take people to Wuxiang to choose favorable terrain to ambush the little devils, the terrain of Wuxiang is dangerous, and there are deep ravines and mountain beams everywhere, which is very suitable for ambushes." You personally go to scout the battlefield and find an ambush battlefield that can fit a Japanese infantry brigade to come out! ”

"Political commissar, you come to assemble the troops, this time I will use four regiments, two regiments to ambush, two regiments to block, four people to fight devils and one person, and strive to end the battle within an hour!"

Brigade Commander Chen finally chose the ambush battlefield in a deep ditch nearly four kilometers away from the road, and the mountain road passed through the bottom of the ditch and stretched for nearly one kilometer. The ambush troops of the two regiments lay in ambush on the mountain beams on both sides of the deep ditch, condescendingly attacking the devils who entered the ambush circle.

As for Brigade Commander Chen himself, he directly set his headquarters on a mountain beam less than 500 meters away from the battlefield.

Through the binoculars, you can see the entire battlefield!

"Bang bang bang...... Da Da Da ...... Soon, a burst of gunfire came from the road a few kilometers away.

"Brigade commander, the decoy unit has already begun to move! Sure enough, the Japanese sent an infantry brigade to pursue our luring troops, and in another half an hour, they would be taken to the ambush circle we had prepared for them! The chief of staff walked to the side and reported with a serious face.

"All the ammunition has been sent!" Brigade Commander Chen held a telescope and scanned back and forth on the ambush battlefield to make sure that there was no pull.

"Not a single bullet left! Ambush troops, 50 bullets per capita, blocking troops, 80 bullets per capita, plus three grenades per person, mortars have an average of 30 shells, our troops have never missed such a wide battle! The commissar replied.

"Hmm!" Brigade Commander Chen nodded his head to express his satisfaction, and then added: "Tell the regimental and battalion commanders below that after the battle starts, the ambush troops should not save ammunition for me, but fight vigorously and end the battle in the shortest possible time." However, the blocking troops gave me leisure, and no one dared to guarantee that there would be no accidents in the ambush battle, how long their blocking battle would last, and the ammunition would be used sparingly for me as much as possible! ”

As he spoke, the luring enemy troops and more than 800 devils had already entered Brigade Commander Chen's field of vision.

"Brigade commander, more than 800 devils have all entered the ambush circle!" The chief of staff reported with excitement in his eyes.

With nearly 4,000 men against more than 800 devils, in the eyes of the chief of staff, as long as the blocking troops can buy enough time, it is definitely a sure thing.

"Flare and attack!" The brigade commander ordered decisively, and then continued to stare at the battlefield with a telescope.

Seconds later, a dense burst of gunfire and explosions rang out in the deep ditch that was close at hand.

More than 50 light and heavy machine guns and more than 2,000 rifles of the two regiments fired together, and the whistling bullets seemed to rain down, instantly enveloping the entire mountain road.

"The first round of firepower raids killed at least more than 300 devils, let the ambush troops continue to strengthen their firepower, and don't let the devils have a chance to fight back!" Brigade Commander Chen was very satisfied with the beginning of the whole ambush battle, and ordered very happily.

However, the good mood lasted less than two minutes before it was gone.

"What's the matter, how did the heavy machine guns of the two regiments stop and stop, didn't I prepare a sufficient amount of ammunition for them?" Light and heavy machine gun fire was the key to the entire ambush battle.

At least half of the more than 300 devils killed at the beginning were the results of light and heavy machine guns.

But at this moment, the firepower of more than 50 light and heavy machine guns was weakened by at least 30% at once, and many devils who were suppressed to the death on the mountain road suddenly had a chance to counterattack.

Using the rocks next to the mountain road, or directly using the corpses of the dead soldiers as cover, set up a rifle and start a counterattack.

As more and more devils began to fight back, the casualties of the two regiments also began to increase dramatically!

"I don't know, I'll call right away!" The frowning chief of staff shook his head and replied.

Time passed minute by minute, and the situation that was originally very favorable to Brigade Commander Chen disappeared one by one.

The sharply reduced machine-gun fire not only did not recover, but became weaker and weaker.

The casualties of the ambush troops also continued to increase, and on the battlefield, there was even a devil officer who gathered a multi-squad to launch a counterattack against the ambush troops on the mountain beam.

If it weren't for the artillery unit blowing up these devils in a few salvos, the ambush circle that he had carefully prepared would probably have been killed by the devils.

"Brigadier Commander, find out! There were a lot of sharpshooters in our ambush, and the machine gunners were all killed by the devil sharpshooters. The heavy machine gunners on the position have almost changed! As soon as the chief of staff put down the phone, he reported to Brigade Commander Chen.

"Boom, boom!" Before Brigade Commander Chen could speak, a burst of artillery came from the road a few kilometers away.

"It's not good, the devil reinforcements and our blocking troops exchanged fire, and artillery was dispatched. The explosion of the shells just now can only be made by infantry guns! The chief of staff reacted quickly and immediately reminded.

"The battle must end as soon as possible, the Japanese reinforcements are menacing, and it is obvious that they want to block us here!" Brigade Commander Chen frowned and analyzed.

The chief of staff reminded: "However, the devil has a large number of sharpshooters, and we have dozens of light and heavy machine guns but we can't exert our firepower and suppress them!" ”

Brigade Commander Chen only hesitated for a few seconds before making a decision: "If you can't give full play to your firepower advantage, then fight melee with the devil and fight for the superiority of troops." ”

"Order the artillery, shoot all the shells out, Lao Tzu can't do it!"

"As soon as the shelling is over, the infantry rushes out, divides and surrounds the little devils, and kills them with bayonets!"

"Order to block the troops, stop the Japanese army for an hour at all costs!"

Hundreds of shells smashed into the ambush circle, and the devils were killed and wounded nearly 100 people.

There were less than 400 devils left on the battlefield not only did not fear, but spontaneously formed small groups to defend on the spot.

Just then, the bugle sounded.

Nearly 4,000 Eighth Route troops killed the devils from all directions.

"Ten to one troops, this devil must be finished!" The chief of staff looked at the Eighth Route Army that rushed towards the devil like a sea of mountains in front of him, and said with a confident face.

"Not necessarily!" Brigade Commander Chen next to him said very unexpectedly, and his already frowning brows wrinkled even deeper at this time.

The chief of staff's eyes also widened, almost unable to believe his eyes.
