Chapter 174: Be cautious

The appearance of the enemy's reconnaissance planes shows that the enemy's command is focused on the 31st Brigade, so the 31st Brigade must have reported the situation.

Then there are two possibilities, the enemy is worried that the 31st Brigade will be ambushed again, so it sends reconnaissance planes to help search the surrounding situation, while the 31st Brigade continues to carry out the mission.

Another possibility is that the 31st Brigade's mission has changed, and it needs the assistance of reconnaissance planes to find the Eighth Route Army that ambushed them.

The new regiment thinks that it is camouflaging the main force, and what it wants is to be discovered by the enemy, so that it is in line with the current situation to fight down, so that the enemy thinks that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is eyeing the 31st Brigade and Regiment, so as to mobilize the enemy to rush towards him.

Thinking of this, He Jiaming gave an order, "All ready, air defense formation!" ”

The reconnaissance company immediately took action, and their position was closed to a back slope as a cover to monitor the county seat of Hongdong.

At this time, everyone lay down on the back slope, holding their guns flat, directly with the ground at 90 degrees, and at an angle of 45 degrees with the air.

The reconnaissance plane circled at a low altitude and soon flew towards their position, and the reconnaissance plane was about three hundred meters above the ground.

The fighters were observing the flight trajectory of the reconnaissance plane, slightly adjusting the muzzle of their guns, but He Jiaming did not lie down, he used it as an observation and supplementary shooting.

"Ready...... Put! ”

"Bang bang...... Da-da-da-da! ”

Rifles and light machine guns fired at the same time, all given an advance amount, and the pilot was startled by the sudden sound of gunfire, but it was too late.

Bullets kept shuttling around the plane, and a lot of bullets also hit the plane, and the penetration of the Type 38 and the crooked handle was good, while the reconnaissance plane was made of wooden skin, and the plane was penetrated by bullets.

The pilot tried to pull the plane up, but unfortunately he was hit by several bullets, and in an instant the plane lost control, tilted the nose of the plane, and crashed into a mountain forest.

"Boom ......"

In Hongdong County, Xiao Yu and Yi did not hear the gunshots, but soon a soldier came to report, he hurriedly walked out of the headquarters, mounted a war horse, and rushed towards the city wall.

When I came to the city wall, a thick smoke had risen in the distance, and the distance was three kilometers away, but the binoculars handed by the adjutant on the side looked at it.

"The reconnaissance plane was shot down?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"

"Hmm...... It seems that the Eighth Route Army is indeed eyeing us, and it is necessary to be on guard tonight and set off early tomorrow morning, but it is necessary to send a telegram to the headquarters immediately to report the situation here. ”

"The enemy has the means to shoot down the plane, be sure to remind the commander to be careful!"

"Hey!"

It's luck to shoot down one, but it's not luck to shoot down two or three, this is an airplane!

The Eighth Route Army did not have anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, how did they get there?

Just now, the soldiers reported that they vaguely heard the sound of rifles and light machine guns, indicating that the enemy was not far from the county seat, that is, about two kilometers, and could not be judged by the location where the plane fell.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army are very close to them!

Judging by the intensity of the gunfire, it was still the previous one, the company that attacked them!

Xiao Yu and Yi did not send soldiers out of the city, and now that the enemy is eyeing their brigade, there must be a lot of troops, and he is the strength of a brigade.

The enemy should send at least 10,000 troops, otherwise it would be wishful thinking to eat one of his brigades.

Even so, the Eighth Route Army needed to weaken the 31st Brigade first, rather than directly confront them head-on.

Xiao Yu and Yi still have a little bit of confidence, but there are nearly 1,000 casualties today, even if they continue to act after minor injuries are treated, it will have a big impact.

It seems that they can't be allowed to attack them at will!

……

The next day, the 31st Brigade set out again, this time with the cavalry brigade as the vanguard, and then sent out the front and rear left and right to open the distance, search and advance, still along the railway.

He Jiaming observed, and put away his contempt for the 31st Brigade in his heart, and the brigade commander didn't seem to be so arrogant.

"Assemble, go!" He Jiaming had an idea in his heart, since you sent the top soldiers, then I will beat your top soldiers.

He knew that the other party still didn't know enough about his reconnaissance company, did he think that such a little soldier could entangle their reconnaissance company?

Destroy it directly with a round of fire!

The reconnaissance company advanced parallel to the 31st Brigade, and He Jiaming quickly found a suitable terrain, and then the reconnaissance company accelerated, overtook the 31st Brigade and quickly entered the position.

"A round of fire, give me to destroy their spearheads, and then retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

The whole company was scattered, each looking for its own terrain and stretching the ambush line, which was the habit of the reconnaissance company, and what they wanted was the hit rate of the first shot, and they gradually cooperated with each other tacitly.

Especially when it comes to choosing a target to shoot at!

The enemy's large force advanced, and the surrounding spears carefully observed the situation, but the spearhead squad on the right had already entered the ambush line of the reconnaissance company at this time!

"Hit!"

"Bang bang ......" first a rifle, then a light machine gun fired, "da ......"

A squad of Japanese troops, even though the action formation was relatively scattered, still fell to the ground one after another, and He Jiaming finished up shooting at the end.

"Bang...... Fall back! ”

The reconnaissance company turned around and left, without the slightest dragging mud and water, they had just left their positions for less than a minute, "boom ......"

The enemy's grenadier fired a grenade, it seems that the enemy is not stupid, using the sharp soldiers as bait, the grenadier is considered a preparation, directly in the way of coverage, attacking the ambush position, He Jiaming is also shocked.

However, then he was reassured, after all, the enemy was the rear hand, and the distance of the ambush was determined by the reconnaissance company, although the enemy's grenadiers could be quickly arranged, but it took time to calculate the distance.

One minute is enough for the reconnaissance company to run 300 meters away!

If so, the enemy will never touch their heels!

Xiao Yu Yoyi looked at the bombarded position, "Send a squadron over and take a look!" ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, don't you send a cavalry brigade?" The adjutant asked.

"No, if I had a cavalry wing in my hands, I would definitely send them in pursuit, but a brigade is not enough!" Xiao Yuyi shook his head, "This company is estimated to be the elite of the elite of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"According to the report of the headquarters, the leader should be a person named He Jiaming!"

"He has a legend in the Lucheng area, one person and one gun for half a year, sniping a large number of imperial troops and imperial alliance troops, none of them survived!"

"There is even news that he went to Shanghai before and assassinated 32 agents who defected to us, but the special high-tech and gendarmerie in Shanghai did not even see his shadow, and the most powerful thing is that they even used the naval guns on our warships!"
