Rewind time to a few minutes ago.

"Platoon commander, such a good heavy machine gun, I can't afford to lose it!"

"yes, is it just cheap little devil for nothing?"

A long line said, "What do you know?" The regiment commander said it well, I can't bear the children to trap the wolf, let's not lose some heavy weapons, how can we make the little devil believe that we are the main force? How can you make the little devil believe that we are so busy running away that we have no fighting spirit? ”

"As for these two heavy machine guns, we will also leave them for the time being, and when we win this battle and eliminate the little devils, this heavy machine gun will have to return to us sooner or later."

As soon as the platoon leader explained this, several squad leaders reluctantly threw the two heavy machine guns on the way back.

Then the two heavy machine guns were captured by the pursuing imps.

In this way, the platoon commander and others, with their militia comrades, continued to retreat in the direction of the low cliff.

As for the way, sometimes one or two heavy machine guns were dropped, and sometimes one or two grenadiers were dropped, constantly paralyzing the little devils, making them believe that the fleeing Eighth Route Army unit had no fighting spirit.

On the way to pursue, seeing that it gradually deviated from the direction of Zhangjiazhuang, Ishii Haraichi also hesitated a little, but the Eighth Route Army that was fleeing not far away was really hateful, and seeing that the pursuing imperial troops slowed down, they turned back to the imperial troops, using grenadiers and light machine guns to attack.

In the blink of an eye, the Japanese side suffered some more casualties.

It's hateful.

The chief of staff of the devil said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it seems that this Eighth Route Army wants to lead us away from the direction of Zhangjiazhuang, and it is estimated that it wants to hold us back, and wait until the main force of their West Village repel the forces of our West Village, and then return to Zhangjiazhuang." ”

"It's just that these Eighth Route Army in front of you are definitely the main force of the independent regiment in Zhangjiazhuang, and judging from the previous battles, the combat effectiveness of this Eighth Route Army is not weak."

"If you let this Eighth Route Army go unchecked, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."

Ishiihara nodded, looking at the Eighth Route Army, which had slowed down its pace again not far away, deliberately hanging the appetite of the imperial troops, and there was a can't help but anger in his heart.

He ordered: "If this Eighth Route Army retreats to Zhangjiazhuang and uses the village to defend, it will be unfavorable to us, and if we fight in this field, we can give full play to the Empire's artillery superiority, pass the order, accelerate the pursuit, and quickly kill this Eighth Route Army, and immediately turn around and attack Zhangjiazhuang." ”

"Hey!"

The team pursued by the devils quickened in vain.

The light infantry that the devil pursued in the lead had even bitten with the retreating soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

The two sides engaged in an intermittent exchange of firepower.

The soldiers of the first company deliberately pulled the battle line, and as the Japanese continued to pursue, the lightly armed troops of the devils even pulled away from the troops carrying baggage in the rear.

In this way, it took more than 20 minutes for the soldiers of the first company, as well as the militia fighters, to finally lure the Ishii Wing to the low cliff area.

Originally, under normal circumstances, the low cliff area was surrounded by mountains and trees.

Ishii Haraichi is afraid that he will also have more eyes, worried about whether there will be an ambush by the Eighth Route Army here.

It's just that this way of pursuit, this fleeing Eighth Route Army is you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance, and several times I saw that it was about to be completely surrounded and wiped out by the imperial forces that caught up.

As a result, he escaped again.

This kind of torture in disguise has long made Ishii Haraichi's heart lose his peace.

Ishii Haraichi now just wants to completely surround this fleeing Eighth Route Army and wipe it out in one fell swoop.

In addition, Ishii Haraichi received information that it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Xicun, and in front of him was the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the first road in Zhangjiazhuang, with a strength of about 500 people.

The strength of the Independent Regiment was not much, so Ishii Haraichi was not worried that he would be attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the low cliff area.

Until the battle in the low cliff area suddenly began.

Looking at the large number of Eighth Route Army that almost jumped out of the mountains, Ishiihara was a little stupid.

Such a number of Eighth Route Army, swept past at a glance, there were definitely no less than 1,000 people, and there was even a team of 2,000 people.

This is definitely the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and it looks like it is ambushed here early in the morning.

But what's going on? Wasn't the main force of the Eighth Route Army placed in the West Village?

Don't...... Did you fall for it?

But if the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Xicun were not the main force of the Independent Regiment, how could they force the troops in Xicun to hold on to the danger, and even the captain of the Japanese army bluntly said that they had suffered heavy casualties, and they must be facing the main force of the Eighth Route Army?

Brief thoughts echoed in Ishii Haraichi's mind, and Ishii Haraichi was confused after all.

But the facts are in front of him, it turns out that this Eighth Route Army, which is constantly retreating, is just to tempt him to step into the encirclement of the main force of the Eighth Route Army ambushed here.

"Hit-"

The three battalion commanders of the Independent Regiment, who had been waiting for a long time, would not be polite to the little devils.

Seeing that under the lure of the first company and the militia fighters, the main force of the Ishii Wing stepped into the ambush circle, and the commander of the first battalion, Wang Leihu, did not hesitate anymore and took the lead in giving the order to start fighting.

The commander of the second and third battalions, who led the team to lurk in the other two directions, also gave combat orders at the same time.

When it comes to the topography of the low cliff here, it is very peculiar, like a low-lying basin with four sides and a low depression in the middle, and at this moment, the devils of the Ishii Wing are in the lowest lying area of this basin.

The fire of the three battalions of the independent regiment was placed in three directions, and the devils in the hollows were directly covered with crossfire.

As for the specific firepower arrangement, it is similar to Du Aiguo's arrangement.

Give full play to every firepower in the hands of the fighters.

Echelon configuration, grenades, rifles, light and heavy machine guns, unconscionable guns, grenadiers, and artillery of the artillery company under the command of Wang Chengzhu arranged in the rear.

The fire was dense and fierce, and after the sudden outburst, Ishiihara had a hellish look on his life.

He now finally realized how stupid the inaccuracies in the information he had gathered about the Independent Regiment during this time.

According to the information gathered by Ishii Haraichi, the firepower of this independent regiment was quite sophisticated in the Eighth Route Army.

However, the devil didn't think too much about it, and initially speculated that the equipment of this independent regiment should be similar to the regular combat troops of the Jin Sui Army.

But the fire of the independent regiment team ambushed in front of him suddenly burst out.

Compared with the conventional combat troops of the Jin Sui Army, this is more than a star and a half stronger.

Even compared to him, the firepower configuration of the Ishii Wing is only strong and not weak.

Ishihara swept over one by one, and there were more than a dozen heavy machine guns in three directions roaring, looking at the meaning of these Eighth Route Army, they didn't worry about the supply of ammunition at all, which simply subverted Ishiwara's perception of the Eighth Route Army with backward equipment and scarce ammunition.

There was also the explosive bag thrown by the launcher or projectile, and there were several loud noises, which directly shocked the faces of the devils who were ambushed.

It is definitely a new weapon concocted by the Eighth Route Army.

Now that I think about it, the reason why the Imperial troops in the West Village regarded the ambush team in the West Village as the main force of the independent regiment was probably because the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was too strong.

Under the cover of fierce fire from three directions, even the well-trained devils could not parry it at all.

Ishii Haraichi, who was ambushed, was still clamoring to start a head-to-head confrontation with the Eighth Route Army when he came!

At the beginning of the battle at this moment, as soon as the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army broke out, Ishii Haraichi's original intention of destroying this Eighth Route Army disappeared directly, and he didn't even think about it, and immediately issued an order for a tactical retreat.

If you don't run away, will you be completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army in this ambush circle?

In the mountains and forests on both sides, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were closer to the Japanese army, took out the red-headed bullet in their left pocket to shoot, and farther away, they took out the conventional bullet in their right pocket to shoot.

When a red-headed bullet flew out, the moment the bullet burst instantly, it hit the devil, even if it was not close, the soldiers who shot out could still see the devil's face showing extreme pain and some distorted expressions.

This red-headed bullet similar to the effect of a dummy bullet is indeed a nightmare for little devils.

"Dummy bomb, it's dummy bomb!" In the camp of the devils who were ambushed, there was an old devil screaming in terror.

The devils around were also bluffed.

The original battle spirit was seven points in a blink of an eye.

Ishii Haraichi wanted to use the artillery of the artillery squadron to turn the tide, but unfortunately his artillery was locked in advance by the independent regiment before he could deploy.

After the forward artillery observer conveyed the specific coordinates of the devil's artillery to the artillery company in the rear through the flag, Wang Chengzhu immediately commanded several infantry guns, 82-mm mortars, and two mountain guns of the artillery company to carry out targeted elimination of the devil's artillery.

At this point, Ishii Haraichi finally despaired, these Tu Balu even have sharp weapons such as infantry cannons in their hands, and now they are ambushed by these Eighth Route Army, how can this battle be fought?

"The rear team becomes the front team, and the front team, as a guard force, immediately carries out a tactical retreat!"

Ishii Haraichi can't care about anything else now, so he can only escape first.

So there was a very dramatic transition between the two sides.

Originally, it was the Ishii Wing who chased the first company and the militia fighters all the way, but now it is the turn of feng shui, and it is the turn of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to run after the devils of the Ishii United.

Originally, the first company and the militia fighters deliberately discarded some light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers to the little devils in the process of retreating, but now the devils were in a hurry, and they did not have time to transfer the heavy artillery, and some of them even had no time to blow up, so they could only be thrown in vain to the pursuing independent regiment.

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, saw that the transport truck behind the devil had been started, and seemed to want to evacuate with artillery, so he immediately shouted: "Pillar, hurry up and fire the cannon and blow up the devil's car!" ”

Boom –

Several artillery pieces of the artillery company, shells smashed directly at the devil's truck team.

Under the cover of a round of artillery fire, six devil trucks were directly blown up, and the remaining four devil trucks were launched in time under the rescue of the little devils, dragging a few artillery pieces and retreating in a hurry.

So far.

Ishii United is a defeat that is decided.

The retreat in the panic was not embarrassed, which was a great shame for Ishii Haraichi, the first time in the world.

"Comrades, beat the water dogs, kill!"

Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, was red-eyed, and took the lead in charging at the retreating troops of the devils.

Of course, the devils trained quickly, and even in the process of retreating, there were still rearguard troops, and there were orderly counterattacks, but they would not be directly defeated like the national army.

……

On the other side, a kilometer away from the cliff, Ding Wei finally led a new regiment of troops to arrive.

The scouts scattered around quickly returned and reported to Ding Wei: "Report to the regiment commander, the devil has escaped from the direction of the low cliff, and the comrades of the independent regiment behind seem to be pursuing!" ”

Sun Zhenguo, the commander of the first battalion, admired: "Regiment Commander, I really let you guess correctly, this Regiment Commander Kong is really powerful, this is the main force of the Devil United, and they were all defeated." ”

Ding Weile said: "I'll just say, if it's really late, I'm afraid we won't even be able to drink the soup." ”

"Commander, how are we going to fight?"

Ding Wei said: "It's easy to fight, the old rules, echelon configuration, sectional blocking, and the comrades of our joint independent regiment are flanking back and forth." ”

"Okay, don't just block the way for the devil to retreat, the rabbit will bite if he is in a hurry, if the devil really pounces desperately, we can't stand it."

"Block in sections, leave a way out for the little devil, the devil has no intention of fighting, let's take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, we can kill one more devil, count it as a devil."

"Yes!"

……

West Village.

The remnants of the Japanese army were more than 200 people, and they held on to the danger.

The team of the fourth battalion commander and the fifth battalion commander who attacked was blocked at the bottom of the hillside by the devils by taking advantage of the condescending terrain.

A company commander suggested a strong attack, and he would definitely be able to wipe out more than 200 devils in one fell swoop.

Du Aiguo shook his head and said: "Lao Lei, I suggest that we have a stalemate with the devils, most of these little devils are waiting for them to be the main force of Zhangjiazhuang all the way, we don't need to risk a charge, so casualties are inevitable, Commander Li They must also take the opportunity to take a detour, let's wait until Captain Li and them come over, and then find a way to eat this group of devils." ”

"Good!" The fourth battalion commander Wang Lei Dasheng responded.

……

Low cliffs.

"Your Excellency, the pursuing Eighth Route Army has bitten our rearguard again."

The report of the communication soldier made Ishii Haraichi frown, this damn dirt eight road is not endless.

The elite of my empire wants to withdraw, and you can stop it from the Eighth Route Army?

On the battlefield against China, there has never been a precedent for the total annihilation of the Imperial Wing.

Suppressing the humiliation and anger in his heart, Ishiwara and a pair of communication soldiers ordered: "Immediately request air support. ”

"Hey!"

"Inform the teams that after the arrival of the fighters, our unit will take the opportunity to throw off the Eighth Route Army and retreat in the direction of Yangquan County."

"Hey!"

Then, Ishii Haraichi led his troops to continue to retreat in the direction of Yangquan, and soon encountered resistance from Ding Wei's new regiment on both sides of the mountain road.

Looking at the hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops that emerged from both sides of the mountain road again, Ishii Haraichi was completely crazy.

How many Eighth Route Army did this generation of Niukou Village hide?

It was only at this time that Ishii Haraichi realized how funny it was for him to attempt to completely annihilate the Independent Regiment with the strength of a wing.

The strength of the Eighth Route Army, which was entrenched in Niukou Village, far exceeded the judgment of the imperial intelligence department.

Moreover, these Eighth Route Army, which suddenly appeared on both sides of the mountain road, had equally strong firepower and combat effectiveness.

These Eight Roads were very cunning, and they had no intention of fighting to the death with the Ishii Wing, but they were ambushed on both sides, but the way for the Ishii Wing to retreat was open.

Ishii Haraichi is now only concerned about retreating and has no intention of fighting, so he can only be beaten passively along the way, and the casualties of Ishii Wing continue to rise.

In this way, after Ishiihara struggled to support for more than twenty minutes, the devil's air support finally arrived.

More than a dozen fighter planes roared towards the area of Niukou Village, and the roar of the engines was heard by Shen Quan and others even from a long distance.

"Hide, quick, everyone hide at once!"

Shen Quan hurriedly ordered.

"Commander, it's not good, the devil's plane is coming." On the top of the slope of the ambush on both sides, Sun Zhenguo's face changed.

Ding Wei hurriedly said: "Immediately remove the top of the slope and hide with the help of the woods." ”

"Yes!"

Boom Boom Boom –

In the sound of the bombardment, watching the Eighth Route Army pursuing in the rear being forced to retreat by the bombs, the corners of Ishii Haraichi's mouth finally showed a smile, and the majesty of the Great Japanese Empire was only reflected at this moment......
