"Hit!"

Just when the seventy or eighty devil cavalry, under the leadership of the devil squadron leader, spurred their horses and tried to rush directly through the raised mountain roads on both sides of them at a faster speed.

The battle broke out under the command of the commander of the second company.

After the cavalry detachment of the devils conducted fire reconnaissance, the main force of the ambush that had lurked in advance behind the side of the dirt slope on both sides had also been transferred to the forward ambush position in advance.

After the sudden outbreak of ambush warfare.

On both sides of the mountain road, the terrain is high and uplifted.

The soldiers of the second company directly launched a fire attack, and the dense fire nets formed by crossing on both sides poured down towards the devil cavalry who entered the ambush circle.

The devil's cavalry was fast.

If the ambush deployment on the side of the second company commander is just a conventional ambush deployment, and the depth of the entire ambush circle is limited, it is easy to be directly broken through by the devil cavalry at a faster speed.

After being abruptly ambushed by fire, the leader of the devil squadron who led the team was shocked but not panicked.

He was also aware of this, so he shouted more and more and ordered: "Hurry out of the ambush circle!" ”

While being under the collar, the leader of this devil squadron couldn't help but curse in his heart.

That damn reconnaissance team, it's just stupid.

In the area where they had already conducted fire reconnaissance, there was still such a large number of Eighth Route Army, quietly lurking here, and those fools were unaware of it.

This caused the main cavalry force to fall into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army.

But the devil captain was not too flustered, and he ordered the main cavalry to rush through the ambush circle.

In his heart, he was looking forward to calculating that with the speed of the cavalry, as long as he was fast enough, it would not be difficult to break out of the ambush circle with the limited firepower on both sides of the Eighth Road.

Next, you only need to find a natural terrain suitable for defense along the way, and then hold on to the danger to block the evacuation of the ambush of the Tu Eight Road.

Then, combined with the tank squad and mechanized combat squadron that rushed over later, this Tubalu army will definitely be wiped out in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Soon, the scene that happened next turned the originally calm expression of the devil captain into a face full of panic.

After his order was given, as seventy or eighty devil cavalrymen desperately whipped their horses with their horses, they rushed forward.

On the soil slopes on both sides of the mountain road, with the help of the condescending terrain, the Tubalu who launched a fire blockade, and the forward battle line that blocked all the way was also extended.

For a while, even the devil cavalry who were at full speed could not highlight the ambush circle.

This devil captain is too self-righteous.

As a veteran of the independent regiment, the commander of the second company is not a vegetarian in his command ability.

After the scouts were the first to notice that the devil was coming, it was a group of cavalry.

The commander of the second company immediately made adjustments to the ambush deployment.

The original conventional ambush formation was adjusted to a long snake-type team that specializes in dealing with the Japanese army, or a pocket formation of a more mobile cavalry team.

What kind of pocket formation?

On both sides of this relatively narrow mountain road, the commander of the second company first arranged two flanking detachments on both sides, and asked the flanking detachments to divide their combat units into small groups.

Stretch the entire ambush front.

In addition, at the end of the ambush circle, a special blocking detachment was arranged.

The soldiers blocked the dirt slopes on both sides of the narrowest passage in advance, and then built a considerable number of light machine gun fortifications in advance, and launched the most fierce fire assault at the opposite angle, after the Japanese cavalry rushed over at a relatively fast speed.

The galloping horses collided with the speeding bullets.

Under the superposition of relative velocity, the power of the bullet becomes more and more terrifying.

If you hit it, you die, and if you rub it, you will get hurt!

In order to stop this devil cavalry who tried to quickly break out of the ambush circle.

Although the interdiction detachment accounted for less than 20 percent of the strength of the second company, it had five or six light machine guns built in advance.

In addition, the fighters of the bombing team of the auxiliary machine guns to block the Japanese cavalry kept throwing grenades on the mountain road.

On a narrow mountain road, almost completely blocked by the fire of six machine guns, there was a series of explosions of grenades.

Whether it is a devil soldier or a war horse, he braves the rain of bullets with his flesh and blood.

are undoubtedly the most stupid acts.

All of a sudden, with the wail of the little devil and the neighing of the war horse, the devil cavalry fell to the ground one by one in the gallop.

The devil captain who was sandwiched in the middle of the cavalry team saw this scene, his eyes were cracked, and he hurriedly ordered the devil soldiers to restrain their horses, stop the impact, and launch a counterattack on the spot with the help of bunkers on both sides.

At this time, the devil reconnaissance team that had rushed out, the devil soldier Cao heard the sudden sound of gunfire.

There was a sudden thump in my heart.

The Wu Commander on the side stepped forward: "It's over, sir, the place that has been detected by our firepower is still ambushed by Tubalu!" ”

Juncao: "......"

It's really a pot that can't be opened.

"Sir, what are we going to do now?"

Jun Cao said with a depressed face: "What else can I do?" If you don't want to be court-martialed after the battle, rush back with me now! ”

"Holy War!"

Seven or eight little devils shouted a few times in self-motivation, then turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the area where the battle had begun.

The right bank of the river.

At this time, the Japanese army Xiuhe squadron was still with the first company, and the third company occupied the fortifications and confronted each other.

At this time, there was only sporadic firepower on both sides, which rang out from time to time.

Since the combat area of the two sides is not too far from the area of the ambush of the second company.

When the sound of the cavalry unit ambushing the devils in the second company reached the ears of the soldiers of the first and third companies, as well as the little devils, the movement was still not small.

Whether it is a devil or a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, as a veteran, judging the approximate distance by the sound of gunfire, this basic literacy is possessed.

The faces of the first and third company commanders changed slightly.

"It seems that the second company and the devil's reinforcements have exchanged fire, and the time is much earlier than we expected!" The company commander said with a solemn face.

The devil captain Xiu and Ichiro on the opposite side were even more happy, "Great, the reinforcements sent by His Excellency Shaozo are almost here."

Warriors of the Empire, cheer up, as long as you wait for another half an hour, our reinforcements will definitely arrive! ”

He didn't even use the word "stick."

In Hide's and Ichiro's opinion, the opposite Tsuchihachi Road simply does not have the ability to destroy himself.

Opposite the rear of the fortifications.

The commander of the first and third companies quickly made up their minds and acted according to the plan.

Immediately afterwards, even the sporadic firepower on the side of the First Company and the Third Company quickly stopped, and it was almost silent.

Xiu and Ichiro, who noticed this, were also a little suspicious in their hearts.

What the hell are these damn dirt roads doing?

Shouldn't they have tried to eliminate our Xiu and the squadron before the reinforcements from our army arrived?

In the midst of suspicion, the devil's forward observation post hurriedly ran to report: "Your Excellency the captain, we have noticed that the Eighth Route seems to be secretly transferring troops!" ”

"Nani?"

Hearing this, Xiu and Ichiro were taken aback, and he immediately ran to the observation position on the high ground somewhere in the front line, and with the help of some grass and trees, he picked up the telescope and looked at the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Sure enough, I noticed that those dirt roads were retreating to the rear with cats on their waists.

"Do you want to run?"

This was the first thought that came to the bottom of Hide's heart.

But it was soon abandoned by him, and it seemed that only part of the troops of the Eighth Route were withdrawn, and there was still a part of the Eighth Route on the opposite side that was still stationed behind the fortifications.

He then turned his attention back to the direction in which the dirt had been secretly evacuating.

Immediately realized, the expression that was still happy turned into solemnity, "It's not good, these damn dirt eight roads, this is to send a part of the troops to temporarily block us on the river bank."

And then reinforce their ambush forces against the reinforcements of our army! ”

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, what are we going to do?"

Xiu and Ichiro, who had retreated from the front line, thought for a moment, and then said: "In this way, let the reconnaissance post continue to pay close attention to the situation of the Dirt Eighth Road, and wait until most of the troops on the opposite side of the Dirt Eighth Road are completely transferred.

Our army attacked in three lines, allowing the first and second combat squads to make a detour from the left and right flanks on the right bank of the river to the position of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.

The 3rd Combat Squad launched an attack from the front, pinning down the firepower of the Dirt Eight Roads and attracting the attention of the Dirt Eight Roads.

Then, with a flank attack on three sides, he broke through the fortifications of the Dirt Eight Road in one fell swoop, and after destroying these damn Dirt Eight Roads, he quickly reinforced the area where the battle had started in the rear. ”

"Hey!"

……

Time went on, and the fighting continued.

The fighters of the 1st and 3rd companies were originally stationed in the rear of the fortifications.

At this time, the commander of the third company had already led nearly eighty percent of the troops of the first and third companies and successfully transferred.

The commander of the first company, with less than two platoons of troops, was in the rear of the fortifications.

The platoon commander who accompanied the battle spoke again and persuaded: "Company commander, you should withdraw first!" As you know, once the movement on our side is detected by the little devils, the devils will definitely launch an attack on our fortifications.

In case our evacuation plan doesn't go well and we are dumplings made by the little devils, it will be dangerous, and you can't plant it here! ”

The first company commander said: "Don't worry, the little devil is not able to make Lao Tzu's dumplings." ”

As he spoke, the company commander immediately analyzed: "As soon as the main force on our side withdraws, the little devils will definitely pounce, but we can't withdraw too early."

Once we withdraw early, the little devil will not have any obstacles.

According to my understanding of the little devils, as well as the familiarity with the terrain and topography, once the devils launch a counterattack, there is a great possibility of sneak attacks from both flanks.

We still have four classes now, and one class on each side will be stared at to death.

After the devil touched it, he immediately launched a blockade.

Then all the squad leaders listened to my order, and once the retreat order was issued, they immediately evacuated according to our retreat plan! ”

"Yes!" A long line answered.

...... "Yexi, the main force of the Tuba Road on the opposite side has really withdrawn, and even many machine-gun fortifications have been withdrawn.

There should not be much left behind the fortifications now.

Inform the 1st and 2nd combat squads to attack in advance! ”

The confident Hidewa Ichiro gave the battle order.

On the right bank of the river, overlooking down.

Behind the fortifications where the Japanese army originally confronted the Eighth Route Army.

The two little devils, each with the appearance of fifty or sixty people, approached the flank of the Eighth Route Army fortifications from the left and right of the Japanese fortifications, with the help of the cover of the mountain, in a large arc.

After three or two minutes of departure for the two teams, Hidewa Ichiro ordered a fire attack from the front, covering the roundabout actions of the first and second combat teams.

Boom –

After receiving the order, the devil's grenadier soldiers took the lead in using the Type 89 grenadier at hand to bombard the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army.

"Company commander, the devil has launched a fire attack from the front!"

The artillery fire of the little devils was abundant, and under the constant bombardment of the grenadiers and shells of the devils, the soldiers could only temporarily hide in the rear of the fortifications.

Fortunately, the devil's grenadiers could not lock the specific location of the soldiers, so they could only blindly carry out artillery bombardment, and the casualties of the first company were not large.

Hiding behind a natural dirt slope bunker that has some anticline functions, the company commander shouted: "The devils suddenly launched artillery fire, and the attack must be hidden."

Let the soldiers of all classes cheer up, the little devil should be ready to attack! ”

"Yes!"

After nearly three minutes, Xiu and Ichiro, who did not hesitate anymore, directly gave the order to attack.

Under the shelling of another round of grenadiers, it covered the intermittent attacks launched by the third squad of devils from the front.

The imps quickly moved from bunker to bunker, gradually advancing towards the fortifications of the company.

The machine gun fire that the devil kept roaring, and the shells that kept falling down, continued to cover the fire.

"Hit! Hit me hard! ”

Seeing that the devils were attacking from the front, adhering to the principle of not wasting ammunition, the commander of the first company kept putting the little devils into a distance of about 50 meters, and then issued a combat order.

The sudden outbreak of blocking fire on the side of the Eighth Route Army made the advance speed of the Japanese Third Combat Team pause.

In addition, the fortifications chosen by the commander of the first company were extremely exquisite.

Directly in front of the fortifications where the fighters were stationed, there was a considerable distance of open firing belts that were basically devoid of any cover.

The fighters set up a number of crooked light machine guns and fired at the attacking devils.

The little devil who charged into the open shooting belt was completely used as a live target without cover.

In the sound of da-da, the little devils personally experienced the power of their Taisho 11-year-old light machine gun, and after throwing more than a dozen corpses in embarrassment, they hurriedly retreated to the area with cover in the rear.

"Yaga, these damn dirt eight roads!"

Seeing that the attack failed, Hidewa Ichiro cursed in a low voice.

But he also knew very well that it would be very difficult to break through the firepower blockade of the Eighth Route Army just by relying on a frontal assault.

That's not his intention to attack.

What he had to do now was to contain the firepower of the Eighth Route Army from the front, cover the first and second combat squads, and make a detour from the flanks.

Time passes quickly.

The communication soldier hurriedly rushed to the side of the company commander, "Company commander, the devil really touched from the left and right flanks!" ”

Seeing that the attack was unfavorable, Xiu and Ichiro on the opposite side once again ordered the artillery to bombard the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army.

The commander of the first company immediately ordered: "Withdraw, notify all squads, fire another wave of firepower, and then retreat directly!" ”

"Yes!"

On the front, left and right flanks of the fortifications, the fighters concentrated their guns and once again launched a wave of fierce fire on the devils, temporarily repelling the devils' attacks.

Then, according to the order of the company commander, the soldiers evacuated quickly and orderly.

Of course, before the evacuation, everyone made some special preparations.

Take off the military hat on your head, and then stick a branch in the soil, and put the general's hat on top of the branch, so that the devil can faintly see the top of the hat through the other side of the bunker.

Some of the fighters even used their hats and branches to set up some tricks.

After everything was quickly completed, everyone quickly evacuated according to the established route with the help of the cover in front of them.

Soon after, the little devils on the left and right flanks of the fortifications quickly advanced to the front of the fortifications of the first company, and were preparing for a sneak attack.

Until I jumped on the fortifications and looked closely, how could there be any shadow of the dirt road?

There was only one hat of the Eighth Route Army hanging from a tree branch.

When Xiu and Ichiro arrived, they saw this scene, and suddenly felt ashamed and scolded angrily.

"Yaga!"

A devil squad leader kicked off a hat that hung on a tree branch.

Followed by...... After a booming explosion, the devil squad leader fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then completely stopped moving......
