After the battle broke out quickly, the battle on the southern side of Hirayama around the dirt slope intensified.

It didn't last more than five minutes, and the battle was over.

Lei Dasheng and Xu Lianzhong, who led the team to fight, met, and the two ordered the soldiers to quickly clean up the battlefield while discussing the next battle plan.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Xu, at the moment, our battle is proceeding rapidly, most of the devils have not been able to pass on the news in time, after the battle breaks out, the surrounding Japanese troops will definitely reinforce here, we might as well turn around and continue to ambush the devil's reinforcements."

Lei Dasheng suggested.

Xu Lianzhong, who had just cooperated with the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and fought a beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle, was also in high spirits for a while, and said with a smile: "Just what I want, Battalion Commander Lei, I don't think it's as good as this, let's put the troops away, leave part of the troops, and continue to pretend to clean up the battlefield in the dirt slope area."

Fortifications were built in advance on the back side of the dirt slope.

In addition, the two troops were extended from the left and right flanks, as if they were opening their arms, waiting for the devil to throw themselves into the net.

As long as the devil plunges into our wide open pocket, the wings quickly detour back, tie the pocket, and surround and eat this devil. ”

Lei Dasheng's heart moved when he heard this, "It is worthy of Deputy Head Xu, I think this method will work." ”

"But we have to spread the scouts out in advance, and if the devils come with too many reinforcements, we can only adjust our tactics and think of other ways."

"That's right." Xu Lianzhong nodded.

The two of them arranged for scouts to spread around to keep watch.

Not long after, a reconnaissance squad leader of the Independent Regiment hurriedly returned and reported to Lei Dasheng: "Report to the battalion commander, there is a Japanese squadron coming rapidly from the east, and no heavy weapons have been found from the team for the time being, and it is now less than a kilometer away from us, and it is expected to arrive in five minutes." ”

The scouts of the new regiment also sent a communication immediately after: "Report to the deputy regiment commander, there is a Japanese army coming from the west. ”

"How far is it?"

"Almost three miles away."

"What is the firepower configuration of the devil? How many people? ”

"About a squadron of devils, and the 100th puppet army, I saw two heavy machine guns in the marching team."

Xu Lianzhong nodded and said to Lei Dasheng: "Battalion Commander Lei, at present, it seems that the Japanese army has only two reinforcements rushing over, which is not too much. Our battle plan can continue, but we need to send a reinforcement force to hold back the Japanese army heading west. ”

Lei Dasheng said: "Deputy Regiment Commander Xu rest assured, the task of sending reinforcements is entrusted to our independent regiment, a platoon of soldiers is enough, fight for an hour, how about it, is it enough?" ”

Xu Lianzhong said: "It won't take so long, it's just a squadron of devils, and they haven't carried heavy weapons yet, at most thirty minutes, we can eat this devil." ”

"After quickly eating this Japanese army in the east, we can once again outflank the Japanese squadron in the west, maybe both squadrons can be eaten."

Lei Dasheng said happily: "Our head of the regiment often says that Captain Ding's appetite has always been amazing, and now it seems that it is really in the same vein, Deputy Commander Xu, your appetite is not small!" ”

Xu Lianzhong said with a smile: "Each other, Lao Kong fights, that is even more bold!" ”

Hahahaha –

The two quickly came to an agreement, and Lei Dasheng sent a platoon of soldiers, armed with sufficient weapons, to block the Japanese troops coming from the west in the middle.

Then the two quickly deployed the remaining troops, arranged part of the troops at the soil slope, pretended to continue to clean up the battlefield, deployed the main force on both sides of the mountains and forests, aimed at the Japanese troops coming from the east, and lurked secretly, waiting for the Japanese troops to take the initiative to penetrate in.

It all happened pretty quickly.

On the other side, the Japanese troops coming from the east were walking on the way when they suddenly couldn't hear the sound of gunfire in the distance.

Devil squadron leader Tamura's brows furrowed.

"Strange, why did the gunfire stop?"

The adjutant on the side leaned over and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, isn't it that the Field Squadron has already eliminated the eight paths encountered?" In that case, we're here for nothing. ”

Tamura shook his head and said, "It seems unlikely, we received a call for help from Harano-kun, so we hurried over." ”

"Why would the Field Squadron ask us for help if it could easily take care of the enemy forces?"

The adjutant's words were stagnant, and he said uncertainly: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, is it difficult, do you think it ......?"

"It's not good to say now, I'm afraid that the worst will happen, pass it on, speed up the march, and the reconnaissance detachment will reconnoiter the situation in advance."

"Hey!"

Less than 500 meters away from the dirt slope area, the devil's scout returned to report the situation:

"Report to the chief, five hundred meters away in the direction of the dirt slope, a team of the Eighth Route Army was found, which seemed to be cleaning the battlefield, and the remains of a large number of imperial soldiers were found around the position."

Tamura was shocked when he heard this, and glanced at the adjutant beside him, and there was horror in the eyes of both of them.

The worst could have happened, and the Field Squadron might have been wiped out.

"How many people are there in Dirt Eight Road? What is the firepower configuration? ”

The devil scout said: "About two hundred people, there are no heavy weapons, only some light machine guns. ”

Tamura pondered: "There are only more than 200 people, and in such a short period of time, the field squadron has been wiped out, and we haven't even had time to support, which seems a little unusual. ”

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, do you mean that this could be a trap for the Eighth Route Army?" The adjutant asked.

Tamura shook his head and said, "It's hard to say......"

As he was talking, another devil scout returned and reported: "Report to the chief, the Eighth Route Army's cleaning of the battlefield is nearing the end, and their soldiers have begun to carry their guns and machine guns have begun to evacuate, and it seems that they are preparing to evacuate." ”

Tamura hesitated for a moment, the opportunity must not be missed, and he still understands the truth that it will not come again.

More than 200 No. 8 Route Army quickly wiped out the field squadron, which seems unlikely, but the Eighth Route Army faced this time is well-equipped and has plenty of ammunition, which is really not good.

If you don't hurry up and attack now, and wait until this eight-way army finishes cleaning up the battlefield and withdrawing, you will miss the opportunity.

In addition, Tamura's squadron had previously received a communication that Sato's squadron was approaching the dirt slope area from the west, and that the two armies might be able to converge and flank this Eighth Route Army in front and rear.

As long as the battle on his Tamura squadron's side starts, Sato's squadron will definitely come over for reinforcements.

At that time, even if there is any conspiracy on the Tuba Road, it will not be able to stop the absolute force.

Thinking of this, Tamura did not hesitate any longer, and ordered: "Scouts spread reconnaissance, beware of the ambush of the Eighth Route Army at any time, the first, second, and third combat teams immediately move forward, and after the shelling is completed, the machine gun covers the attack, and kills this Eighth Route Army, leaving no one behind." ”

"Hey!"

In this way, after Tamura gave the order, Tamura's squadron quickly advanced from the east in the direction of the dirt slope.

As for the scouts who spread out of the devils, they naturally failed to find the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the dark.

Some scattered devil scouts were even secretly killed by the soldiers.

The Tamura squadron was closer to the dirt slope, and in addition to the rapid attack that was launched on its own initiative, the Sato squadron approached the dirt slope area ahead of schedule.

Then came the old offensive methods, the rear grenadiers shelled the dirt slope area, and under the cover of the fire of more than a dozen sets of light machine guns of the devils, the devil infantry took the opportunity to attack.

When the Japanese launched the bombardment, Tamura observed the situation on the dirt slope not far away from the telescope:

The Eighth Route Army, which was cleaning the battlefield but was suddenly bombarded, seemed to be caught off guard, and the soldiers hurriedly stopped the capture one by one, and fled to the back of the dirt slope in embarrassment while taking their guns from their backs.

This is in line with the appearance of a sudden attack, and everything seems to make sense.

The artillery bombardment of the grenadiers, coupled with the fire cover of the Japanese light machine guns, the Eighth Route Army did not even make a fire response at the first time, and the follow-up fire counterattack was relatively sparse, and the three infantry squads of the Japanese army advanced smoothly. Gu Yan

Tamura, who was in command in the rear, breathed a sigh of relief, believing that he had been overcautious.

The attacking Japanese troops continued to advance, and were less than 300 meters, 200 meters, and 100 meters from the earthen slope fortifications.

When there were still less than eighty meters, in order to prevent accidental injury, the devil artillery in the rear stopped shelling.

Sixty meters.

At the top of the earthen slope fortifications, the firepower counterattack of the Eighth Route Army was still dripping, and only a few dozen Eighth Route Army were left in the outcrop, and the rest may have been killed under artillery fire in the eyes of the devils.

Fifty meters.

Continuing to approach, the devil pulled away from the skirmish line and quickly rushed forward.

At this moment, seeing that the breakthrough was only in the blink of an eye, even Tamura felt that he was already winning.

"Hit!"

A burst of cheers came from the earthen slope fortifications a few hundred meters away, and the abrupt sound made Tamura, who heard the sound, chuckle in his heart.

Then Tamura saw through the telescope that a large number of Eighth Route troops suddenly appeared on the earthen slope fortifications where there were originally only forty or fifty people outcropping.

At a glance, it is estimated that there must be one or two hundred people.

The key is that the light machine guns that stood up are staggeringly numerous, and there are nearly thirty of them according to rough estimates.

"Oh no, fooled!"

Tamura, who couldn't stabilize his mentality, was shocked.

Although Tamura did not know how these dirt roads had been able to avoid the bombardment of artillery fire under the previous heavy shelling.

But what he could be sure of was that the previous shelling and light machine gun attacks did not cause much damage to the Eighth Route Army behind the slope.

These cunning dirt roads were deliberately to keep the Empire's attacking forces close before suddenly attacking.

Under the burst of fire at close range, coupled with the large amount of light machine gun fire held by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army above the dirt slope, the bullets formed a dense net and covered the body of the attacking devil soldiers.

Under heavy fire, although the Japanese attacking troops opened the scattered line in advance, the casualties spread rapidly.

Tamura panicked and gave the order to retreat, he was waiting for the opportunity, as long as his vanguard troops retreated another thirty meters, immediately shelled the eight roads that suppressed the fortifications, and covered the retreat of the three infantry squads.

But then Tamura was stunned, and the eight roads on the dirt slope suddenly launched a counterattack, and soon the advance and retreat of his Tamura squadron At the same time, the mountains and forests on both sides of the dirt slope suddenly sounded shouts of killing, and a large number of eight roads suddenly appeared, firing wildly at the imperial soldiers who were being attacked from three sides.

At this moment, Tamura finally realizes that the trap set by Hachiro is far greater than he imagined.

"Artillery cover!"

Tamura, the leader of the devil's squadron, drew his command knife and gave orders, trying to save the day with the grenadier fire from behind.

Boom –

The explosion sounded, but not in the area where the Eighth Route Army was located, but on the artillery position of his Tamura squadron.

When the devils bombarded the dirt slope fortifications before, Lei Dasheng, who was hiding on the flank, had already arranged 50 small cannons, locked the grenadier positions exposed by the devils, and waited for this moment of attack!

Before the devil's grenadier could open its fangs, it was knocked out by ten 50 small cannons of the fourth battalion and a round of concentrated fire.

The sudden scene woke Tamura completely.

He had realized that the strength of this Eighth Route Army was absolutely invincible.

The soldier's keen sense of smell told Tamura that if he didn't retreat, his entire squadron would be wiped out.

"Heavy cover, immediately make a strategic transfer!"

Tamura gave the order, and now he pinned his hopes on the Sato squadron not far away, he wanted to retreat temporarily, hold on to the danger, drag this eight-way army, and then wait for the Sato squadron to attack from both sides.

But it didn't take long for the sound of gunfire from the west to directly break Tamura's extravagant hopes.

Tamura finally understood that the Sato squadron was afraid that it was pinned down by the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

There is only one way in front of the Tamura squadron - defeat!

Under the cover of the fire before the light machine gun fire of the Japanese army was knocked out by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, Tamura led the troops to quickly retreat.

Trying to escape.

Until the gunshots on the back suddenly rang out.

Completely desperate, Tamura knew that the time had come for him to serve the emperor and choose the jade shatter.

It turned out that in the interval between the confrontations between the two sides, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to make a detour from both flanks, tied the mouth of the big pocket, and laid machine gun fortifications from the back to block the retreat of the Japanese army.

"Hooray—"

"Hooray—"

This little devil's will to fight is indeed good, although it is a second-rate unit of the B Division, when facing a desperate situation, Tamura gave an order, and the screaming devil soldiers still launched a Banzai charge, or a death charge.

Under the resistance of the machine-gun fortifications on the back, the roles of the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army were reversed.

The devil soldiers frantically charged towards the fortifications defended by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and in the absence of artillery, these little devils tried to close the distance to within forty meters, and then threw grenades to fight back.

It's a pity that they are not facing the ordinary Eight Roads.

Rounding back and tying up their pockets were the soldiers of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

The soldiers of the independent regiment have not slackened their large-scale training after fighting for most of the past six months, and the regiment commander Kong Jie specially requested that the soldiers practice accurate shooting within 200 meters.

In Kong Jie's standard, it is not too far, but it is required to shoot absolutely quickly within two hundred meters, one bullet and one enemy.

Plus light and heavy machine guns arranged in advance.

The lives of the devils who launched the charge are constantly harvested like leeks.

But looking at the devils who fell one after another, but one after another, will the warriors feel pity and soft-heartedness?

Not at all!

The fighters could only feel a kind of spontaneous heartiness.

Invaders such as Japanese invaders are no different from animals, so how can we talk about mercy?

The Heavy immediately became the most sought-after class at the moment.

"Squad leader, you have killed thirteen devils, let me kill them for a while!"

A soldier of an independent regiment opened his mouth and fought devils with bolt-action rifles, although one shot at a time, it was really not very enjoyable, and the speed was too slow.

The old squad leader turned his head, showed a mouthful of crooked teeth, and grinned: "Why are you in a hurry?" Anyway, let me kill twenty more to have a good time, the barrel of the gun quickly prepared for me, and I will hurry up and change it in a while, but I don't dare to delay the work of killing the devil. ”

"Yes!"
