The little devil had already come, and Yang Yuanshan's nerves were also tense.

Immediately order the telegraph operator of the Provisional Command to send a message to all sides:

"Order the artillery battalion Gao Yuanzhi, and ask them to fire the first time once they see the little devil's artillery entering their firing range!

No need to ask!

Be sure to shoot out the little devil's heavy artillery as quickly as possible! ”

"Yes!"

The telegraph operator said yes and immediately began his work.

After a while, he stood up and reported:

"Regiment commander, the artillery battalion calls back - understood!"

"Good!

Send another telegram to the commander informing him that the little devil has arrived and that an exchange of fire is expected within half an hour! ”

"Yes!"

……

In Shuiquan City, after receiving Yang Yuanshan's telegram, Li Yunlong immediately perked up his spirits and hurriedly ordered the telegraph operator to report the enemy situation to the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment.

Then he said to Zhao Gang with emotion:

"Lao Zhao, the little devil came really fast.

According to Yang Yuanshan's previous report, this group of little devils defeated Chu Yunfei first at Niangzi Pass, and then rushed to Damai Valley now.

I think they must have been given a military order to arrive within a time limit. ”

Zhao Gang nodded, not doubting his judgment.

With a roll of his eyes, he suggested:

"Lao Li, I think we have to send a report to ask the brigade commander about the situation in Jinnan.

Don't be careless, the little devil transferred a few divisions to surround us. ”

"Well, I have to ask."

Li Yunlong nodded, and immediately arranged for the telegraph operator to send the report.

Soon, a call back from the brigade headquarters came.

The two of them saw that the telegram said that the little devil did not show any signs of withdrawing troops in Jinnan, but attacked even more frantically, Liu Jingfu's defense line was already in danger, and the collapse was only after the next second, and their brows were furrowed.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Gang immediately suggested:

"Lao Li, it seems that the little devil has eaten the scales - he is determined to take Zhongtiao Mountain first.

A spring of water alone should not be able to regulate them.

Shall we ask the brigade commander for instructions, and after a little confrontation with the little devils, we will withdraw into the mountains, so as not to lose too much of the team? ”

"There's no need to ask!

Lao Tzu has to touch the little devil's division!

Even if you can't win the battle, then let them know that my troops in the northwest of Jin are not easy to mess with!

Besides, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!

Maybe it's a fight, and the little devil himself will admit to retreating first! ”

Li Yunlong is categorical.

……

Barley Valley Battlefield.

On the position of the artillery battalion of the special service regiment, Gao Yuanzhi received a telegram from Yang Yuanshan, and immediately became nervous.

He had repeatedly felt that Yang Yuanshan attached great importance to the little devil artillery wing.

Hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked towards a tall mountain peak in the distance.

There, he set up several observation posts, which waved the order flag as soon as the enemy's artillery entered a predetermined position.

It's a pity that there is no movement there now.

Therefore, Gao Yuanzhi could only hold back his agitated thoughts and hide in his temporary headquarters.

……

On the little devil's side, because the rush after dawn was very smooth, the officers of the little devil were a lot more relaxed.

Although there would still be a wave of mines every few hundred meters, they would be reimbursed for all of them as soon as they shelled them, and they could not be delayed for a few minutes.

The occasional slip-through wound wounded a few soldiers, and for their army of tens of thousands, it was not even drizzle.

Seeing this situation, the division commander Akiba Ryuxian sat proudly in the car and said:

"Dirt Eight Road can only be active at night like a soil mouse.

At dawn, they saw the army of locusts like a mouse sees a cat! ”

Then, he took out a map of the northwest of Jin, looked at it carefully, and then muttered:

"There are less than 30 miles to go to the water spring, and it seems that we will definitely be able to arrive before noon.

Sure enough, any difficulties are not worth mentioning in front of my 57th Division! ”

However, before he could finish speaking, a side three-wheeler drove in front of him, and a herald ran down and reported:

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the road ahead is relatively narrow, Your Excellency Captain Takagi would like to instruct:

Do you ask the large army to stop and rest first, and the 117th Wing to explore the road first? ”

Akiba Ryuken shook his head:

"Not necessarily!

At most, the dirt road will hinder our movement with those ridiculous landmines, and will not pose any threat to us.

Order Takagi-kun, speed up the march, and rush to the water spring as soon as possible! ”

"Hey!"

When the herald heard this, he turned and went back to the front.

Soon, the 117th Wing, under the command of Wing Commander Ryutaro Takagi, accelerated its march and rushed forward.

……

However, Ryutaro Takagi was cautious by nature, and seeing that the road in front of him was becoming narrow, he could only allow a large group of troops to deploy, making it a good place for an ambush.

He immediately sent a small team of little devils to go forward two or three hundred meters in front of the big team to explore the way.

On the positions of the special service regiment, the soldiers of the second and third battalions were all hiding in trenches and anti-artillery holes, silent.

Han Yang and Wang Quanfa got together, carefully looking through the gaps between the grass, and using binoculars to check the movements of the little devil.

When Han Yang saw that the mine he had painstakingly planted was easily destroyed by a round of shelling by the grenadier of the little devil.

couldn't help but be very depressed, and couldn't help but scold:

"The little devil raised by the son of a bitch, you don't need money for shells, do you?

Show off how many shells you have? ”

At this time, Wang Quanfa hurriedly reminded him:

"Old Han, the little devil is very clever, they didn't move forward with a large army, but sent a sharp army!

Look at these dozens of little devils, it is estimated that it will take less than 5 minutes to find our trenches! ”

Of course, Han Yang also saw this group of little devils, and he couldn't help frowning into the word "Sichuan".

If you eat these dozens of little devils, then your own ambush will definitely be exposed.

And if they don't eat it, they will still find their own ambush when they go forty or fifty meters in front of the position.

If the leader of the little devil's squad is clever enough, he will definitely retreat immediately and call for artillery support.

When the time comes, even if the soldiers are hiding in trenches and anti-artillery holes, there will be casualties.

It's a complete dilemma!

After hesitating for a long time, Han Yang gritted his teeth and gave an order:

"Let these little devils come over, and wait until they get to the front of the position before firing!"

Then he added, as if comforting himself:

"This group of little devils is still a little careless in the end, their spearheads are only four or five hundred meters away from the large troops behind.

Our light and heavy machine guns, infantry guns, and anti-aircraft guns can easily hit them.

Even the 38 big cover can be obtained! ”

Seeing that he had decided like this, Wang Quanfa didn't come up with any better way, so he immediately nodded and agreed with his decision.

……

Soon, the little devil's spearhead walked to a position forty or fifty meters in front of a trench at the front of the secret service group.

The soldiers of the observation post of the special mission group hiding in the trenches can clearly see the arrogance on the little devil's face without binoculars.

Qi Qi couldn't help but clench the gun in his hand, ready to pull the trigger at any time.

At this time, Han Yang suddenly ordered:

"Secret Service, all fire!

Anti-aircraft guns and machine guns are on standby! ”

With his order, all kinds of gunshots of "snap, bang, bang", "bang", and "aggressive" suddenly rang out.

It's like fried beans, and it rings non-stop!

These sounds were accompanied by bullets that pounced on the team of little devils like flying locusts.

The dozens of sharp soldiers of the little devil were all beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground in an instant.

And the large troops of the 117th Wing, which were less than 400 meters behind them, also fell down in unison like cutting wheat.

The little devils immediately let out a frightened cry:

"Yaga! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"There is an ambush! There is an ambush! ”

"Get down! Get down! ”

……

Suddenly encountering an ambush, Ryutaro Takagi, the co-captain of the 117th Wing, was immediately furious.

Feeling insulted –

I'm a wing!

And behind him, he is followed by a division!

Tubalu actually dared to ambush like this, I just didn't want to live!

He immediately roared:

"Heavy machine guns, grenadiers, drip, fight back!

Artillerymen, hurry up and drop!

Blow up the firing point of the Dirt Eight Road! ”

However, at this time, more than a dozen Type 92 infantry guns of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Special Service Regiment were deployed on the mountain beams on both sides of the road.

They had already been calibrated to shoot Zhu Yuan, and at this moment, they directly fired with all their strength, desperately smashing the cannonballs into the team of the little devils.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

A violent explosion resounded in the sky!

The heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and infantry guns of the 117th Wing of the little devils were blown up by this artillery bombardment before they could be erected.

Ryutaro Takagi lay on the ground and roared:

"Yaga!

How could the weapons and equipment of the Dirt Eight Road be so strong?

Why are they so plentiful with ammunition?

Isn't it all said that there are three guns and eight ways, that's it??? ”
