Relying on artillery fire, the second reinforced battalion of the independent regiment soon reached the attack position.

It's only two hundred meters from the devils on the road.

At this time, the devil was still lying near the highway in order to avoid the cannonballs falling from the sky.

But after all, only some 60 mortars.

Even if there are a lot of them.

However, the weight of the 1.5 kg shell is there, and the insufficient power and the insufficient number of fragments are hard wounds, and even within the effective killing range, there are a large number of killing gaps.

Not to mention, in the lying state, the lethality of the shell is sharply reduced.

The experience of the First World War - the casualties rate of infantry in open areas under artillery bombardment was three times that of lying down, and twenty times that of hiding in trenches.

After all, 60 mortars are used to suppress enemy machine guns, heavy machine guns, etc., and the infantry accompanies the artillery.

So the casualties of the devils are actually not large.

It is better to take place in the ambush battle in Apricot Gully.

From Ma Rongshun's point of view, most of the devils who fell down were actually devils who took the initiative to lie down.

Seeing the second battalion approaching, the devils also began to fight back.

But after all, the artillery suppression continues, and the devil's counterattack lacks unified command, although there are quite a few of them, but they are not large-scale, and the effect is very poor.

···

"Rush."

Grand Master Li was armed with a 40-type submachine gun and began to charge first.

I saw that he first jumped out of more than three meters in a stride, then rolled over, crawled behind a ditch, dodged a few bullets that were fired, and then crawled in a standard three-position movement, hiding behind the ditch and quickly closing the distance with the devil.

With the abundance of weapons and equipment, the broadsword has long disappeared from the equipment sequence of the independent regiment. After all, no matter how sharp your sword skills are, how powerful your martial arts are, even if you are a monk, what about it?

Can you get past the bullets faster?

Pull out a soldier casually, let alone holding a submachine gun, even if it is a shell gun, or even 98k, a monk can hit a monk with a head and a rat.

With bullets, who will fight you with bayonets?

Li Yunlong's set of actions, Ma Rongshun, who followed the charge not far away, was dumbfounded.

The regiment commander's speed is much faster than the best physically trained soldier in the three battalions, and he is not equipped with equipment.

After more than ten years of charging in the line of fire, he was able to survive, but Grand Master Li relied not on luck, let alone the aura of the protagonist, but on real tactical actions and a keen sense of smell.

After arriving at the end of the ditch, he was only a dozen meters away from the road, Li Yunlong quickly stretched out the muzzle of his gun, and killed a devil rifleman who was aiming at him with a few point shots.

The monk has been following Li Yunlong, and he also rushed out at the same time, killing another devil.

The rest were annihilated by the two infantry squads that followed.

After killing the devil in front, the three infantry squads assembled, like a sharp knife, and continued to rush forward, inserting between the two squads of the devil, and the devils on both wings could barely raise their heads under the dense submachine gun fire.

Meanwhile.

In the rear, the five 60 mortars of the second battalion and the second company of the 60 battalion, as well as three grenadiers, also suppressed the five crooked handles, three grenadiers, and more than a dozen rifles of the devils in front.

Under the command of Li Yunlong, the second company always maintained a lateral cut, pushing the outermost devil squad 1 outward.

"Retreat."

"Retreat."

The fire was completely suppressed, the enemy was approaching step by step, and the leader of the devil squad could only order the troops to retreat in the direction of the rear.

If you don't retreat, you will be caught up by the dominant earth eight roads in front of you.

Neither the strength nor firepower is superior, and once it is entangled, it will be the end of total annihilation.

With this withdrawal, the first squadron of the Nishino squadron and the second squad and the squadron headquarters under the command of the captain of the Nishino squadron in the middle became farther and farther away, and the firepower of the two sides became weaker and weaker.

···

"Yaga, come back."

"The first team moves closer to the headquarters."

The old devil of Nishino is worthy of being the squadron leader, even if he is covered by fierce artillery fire, he still clearly judges the current situation.

The Eighth Route Army had an absolute superiority in strength and absolute firepower, and it was only a matter of time before the battle continued to be fought and the Nishino squadron was annihilated.

And the key to the survival of the Nishino squadron is also time.

This is Songjiazhuang.

Whether it is the aviation unit in Taiyuan or the infantry brigade in Liao County, it will only take less than an hour to arrive.

Once reinforcements arrived, Dohachi had to retreat.

Although the Nishino squadron now suffered heavy casualties, and the Type 92 infantry cannon was destroyed in the first round, as long as it is assembled and relied on the terrain to defend, no matter how strong the Tuba Road is, it will take several hours to annihilate it.

He only needs to gather his troops and hold out for an hour to win.

But there is also a chance for the dirt eight roads,

As long as the Nishino squadron is divided and the superior forces are concentrated to annihilate one by one, the battle can be ended before the locust reinforcements arrive.

So the key is that the Nishino squadron can defend in clusters.

And now...

The anxious leader of the first squad of devils obviously did not hear the order of the captain of the Nishino squadron, but quickly organized fire to suppress the approaching Dohachi Road, and at the same time, ordered the troops to continue to retreat and find a suitable position to block the attack.

And Li Yunlong also continued to lead the team to press, forcing the devil to continue to retreat.

"Yaga."

When the leader of the first squad of the devil realized that he had run too far and lost contact with the other squads, behind him, the fifth company led by Shen Quan had already arrived at the predetermined position and formed an encirclement with the second company.

Realizing that he had fallen for the enemy's scheme, he made a wrong command, and after being surrounded away from the squadron headquarters, the leader of the devil squad roared angrily, pulled out his katana, and led his troops to charge in the direction of Liao County.

He understands too.

Now it's too late to break through to the squadron headquarters.

But in the face of the siege of two infantry companies and more than 300 people, dozens of devils were annihilated in less than seven minutes.

By this time, the battle had only lasted twenty minutes.

····

On the road, Nishino, who knew that the first squad was hopeless, tried to gather the remaining troops and resisted stubbornly, but the third squad had also been cut out by the third company led by Kong Jie.

Caught in the encirclement of the third and fourth companies.

The squadron headquarters and the second squad were held down by the artillery company and the first company, and they were also unable to move.

I could only watch as the two squads were annihilated.

During this period, he did not organize support, trying to take the initiative to gather troops, but was suppressed by the dense shells and firepower.

···

The third squad of the Nishino squadron also did not hold out for ten minutes.

After the annihilation of the second and third squads, the remaining five infantry companies of the independent regiment assembled and began to besiege the headquarters of the Nishino squadron and the first squad.

In the face of a 20-to-1 ratio of strength, the remaining devils of the Xiye squadron also failed to hold out for ten minutes, and the old devils of Xiye were also shot to death by Wang Xikui, who rushed to participate in the battle.

If it weren't for the completion of the mission, he would have shot this old devil to death with one shot.

···

"Thirty-five minutes."

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Glancing at Sakata's seized watch, Li Yunlong smiled smugly.

The independent regiment dispatched more than 800 people on the open road, and in less than 40 minutes, it almost completely annihilated a squadron of devil infantry with 200 devils.

I don't know if Li Yunlong has been completely annihilated, and I don't have time to clean up the battlefield in detail.

But absolutely annihilation.

There are definitely no more than ten devils who have survived.

Thanks to the abundant ammunition, the independent regiment is no longer able to kill a devil with a single bullet.

To be honest, even if it is a seven-nine pointed bullet, unless it hits a fatal part, it is difficult to kill a devil with one bullet.

Not to mention shell bullets.

In the past, the devils would have a large number of wounded, and they could return to the team to continue fighting after they were healed.

But now, five or six rounds of submachine guns have burst through, and even if it is a shell gun, the devil is definitely dead.

And the casualties of the Separate Regiment were extremely low.

Again, there was no time to count the casualties, but Li Yunlong initially estimated that the casualties would not exceed 60.

This number is obviously a lot more than the previous two battles of annihilating the devil squadron, but considering that it is a flat ground rapid annihilation battle after all, it is completely acceptable.

This battle was still an almost perfect battle of rapid annihilation.

"Bring the Type 92 infantry artillery shells and withdraw!"

Li Yunlong quickly gave the order to retreat.

The devil plane is coming soon, and the Liao County devil brigade is also fighting with the first battalion.

Time is urgent,

Li Yunlong also did not let the troops carefully collect the devil's materials.

Anyway, the devil's weapon, except for the body cannon, Li Yunlong can't look down on it now.

Now the independent regiment is equipped with devil weapons, only grenadiers, and the rest, he is for other troops.

And even if it is a devil's grenadier, Li Yunlong can't look down on it, compared to the grenadier produced by Brother Lu, the devil's not only has low accuracy, but also has a high failure rate, which is not a thing at all.

It's a Type 92 infantry gun, and Li Yunlong wants it very much.

It's a barrel cannon.

With this, he can even go and attack the Uemura stronghold.

how

In the first round of shelling, the Type 92 infantry guns carried by the Nishino squadron were destroyed, but there were eighty shells, half of which were perfectly preserved, and the rest were martyred.

"Yes."

Five minutes later, the independent regiment packed up some of the captured supplies and retreated along the mountain road to the Taiyue Mountains.

During this period, five planes reinforced by the devils also arrived, and after circling in a circle, one of them discovered the second battalion of the independent regiment, and also dived and strafed the second battalion several times, leaving the second battalion with a few more wounded and losing a few mules and horses.

Li Yunlong didn't bother to take care of it, and retreated with his troops.

Soon into the mountains.

Seeing this, the devil plane could only shake its wings and fly away.

···

Liaoxian direction.

As soon as the time came, the first battalion of the Beijing Brigade in Liao County retreated according to the plan.

First, grenadiers and mortars were put on together, giving the devils a round of intensive artillery fire, repelling a round of attacks by the devils, and then laying a bunch of mines, and then leaving gracefully.

By the time the Beijing Brigade launched another offensive and broke through the minefield, the first battalion was already fast into the mountain.

"Yaga!"

Kitai Akikuchi angrily drew his katana and cut down indiscriminately.

The firepower of the Eighth Route Army that blocked the attack was so fierce, and this time it took the initiative to retreat, Kitai Mingbox already had a premonition that the situation of the Nishino Squadron might not be too good.

In less than two months, around Liao County, three squadrons of the Imperial Army were annihilated.

Kitai Ming Box doesn't feel good.
