Chapter 444 Don't Dare to Delay the Time of Killing Devils

After the battle broke out quickly, the battle around the slope on the south side of Pingshan intensified.

It lasted no more than 5 minutes before and after, and the battle was declared over.

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

"Deputy Commander Xu, our battle is going on so fast right now, the devils probably didn't get the news out in time, after the battle breaks out, the surrounding Japanese troops will surely send reinforcements here, we might as well turn around and continue to ambush the devils' reinforcements. "

Lei Dasheng suggested.

Xu Lianzhong, who cooperated with the soldiers of the independent regiment and fought a beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle, was also very energetic for a while, and said with a smile: "It's just what I want, Commander Lei, I don't think it's better than this. Let's spread out the troops and leave some Force, continue to pretend to sweep the battlefield in the slope area.

Build fortifications in advance on the back side of the slope.

In addition, the two troops were extended from the left and right wings, as if opening their arms, waiting for the devils to throw themselves into the trap.

As long as the devils plunge into our wide-open pockets, their wings quickly circle back, tie the pockets, and surround and eat the devils. "

Lei Dasheng's heart moved when he heard this, "As expected of Deputy Head Xu, I think this method will work."

"But we have to spread out the scouts in advance. If there are too many reinforcements from the devils, we can only adjust our tactics and think of other ways."

"That's the reason." Xu Lianzhong nodded.

The two arranged scouts and spread them around to guard.

Not long after, a reconnaissance squad leader of the Independence Regiment hurried back and reported to Lei Dasheng: "Report to the battalion commander, a Japanese squadron is rushing from the east, and no heavy weapons have been found in the team. It’s less than a kilometer away from us, and it’s expected to arrive in 5 minutes.”

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

"How far away?"

"About three miles."

"How is the devil's firepower configuration? How many people are there?"

"About a squadron of devils, and the No. [-] puppet army. I saw two heavy machine guns in the marching team."

Xu Lianzhong nodded, and said to Lei Dasheng: "Battle Commander Lei, 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. Hold back the Japanese troops heading west."

Lei Dasheng said: "Don't worry, deputy head Xu. The task of fighting for aid is entrusted to our independent regiment. One platoon of fighters is enough. One hour is enough. How about it? Is it enough?"

Xu Lianzhong said: "It won't take so long. It's just a squadron of devils. They haven't carried heavy weapons yet. We can eat this devil in three to ten minutes at most."

"After quickly eating up the Japanese army heading east, we can again outflank the Japanese squadron heading west. Maybe both squadrons can be eaten."

Lei Dasheng said happily: "Our leader often said that the appetite of the leader Ding has always been astonishing. Now it seems that it is indeed the same. Deputy leader Xu, your appetite is not small!"

Xu Lianzhong said with a smile: "Old Kong fights with each other, that's even more daring!"

Ha ha ha ha--

The two quickly reached an agreement, and Lei Dasheng dispatched a platoon of soldiers armed with enough weapons to stop the Japanese troops heading west.

Then the two quickly deployed the remaining troops, arranged some troops on the slope, pretended to continue to clean the battlefield, and deployed the main force on both sides of the mountain forest, aiming at the Japanese army coming from the east, lurking secretly, waiting for the Japanese army to take the initiative to enter.

This all deployed fairly quickly.

On the other side, the Japanese soldiers coming from the east were on their way, when they suddenly heard no gunshots from afar.

Devil Squadron Leader Tamura frowned.

"Strange, why did the gunfire stop?"

The adjutant at the side leaned over and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, could it be that the Wilderness Squadron has already wiped out the eight roads they encountered? If you say that, it's a waste of time for us to come here."

However, Tian Cun shook his head and said, "This seems unlikely. We came here in a hurry after we received a call for help from Mr. Yuanye."

"If the Field Squadron can easily take care of the enemy, why should they ask us for help?"

The adjutant's words faltered, and he said uncertainly: "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, could it be possible, do you think..."

"It's hard to say now, I'm afraid the worst will happen, pass it on, speed up the march, and the reconnaissance team will scout the situation in advance."

"Hi!"

When it was less than 500 meters away from the slope area, the devil's scouts returned to report the situation:
"Reporting sir, an Eighth Route Army was found in the direction of the slope 500 meters away. It seems to be cleaning the battlefield. A large number of remains of imperial soldiers were found around the position."

Tamura was startled when he heard this, and he exchanged a glance with the adjutant beside him, both of them were horrified.

The worst situation has yet to emerge, and the Wilderness Squadron may have been completely wiped out.

"How many people are there on Tuba Road? How is the firepower configuration?"

The devil scout said: "About more than 200 people were touched, and no heavy weapons were seen, only some light machine guns."

Tamura thought: "Only more than 200 people wiped out the Field Squadron in such a short period of time, and we didn't even have time to support it. This seems a little unusual."

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, do you mean that this might be a trap set by the Eighth Route Army?" the adjutant asked.

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

Just as they were talking, another devil scout came back and reported: "Report sir, the Eighth Route Army's cleanup of the battlefield is coming to an end. Their soldiers have started to carry their guns, and their machine guns have also begun to withdraw. It seems that they are preparing to evacuate."

Tamura hesitated for a moment, he still understood the reason why the opportunity should never be missed.

More than 200 No. [-]th Route Army quickly wiped out the Field Squadron. It seems unlikely, but this time the Eighth Route Army is well-equipped and has plenty of ammunition. This is really hard to say.

If you don't seize the time to attack right now, you will miss a good opportunity when the eighth army finishes cleaning the battlefield and evacuates.

In addition, Tamura Squadron had previously received a communication that Sato Squadron was approaching the Tupo area from the west, and the two troops might be able to converge and attack the Eighth Route Army back and forth.

As long as the battle on his Tamura Squadron starts, Sato Squadron will definitely come to reinforce him.

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

Thinking of this, Tamura didn't hesitate any longer, and ordered: "Scouts spread out and investigate, and beware of ambushes from the Eighth Route Army at any time. The first, second, and third combat teams immediately move forward. After the bombardment is over, use machine gun cover to launch an attack and kill this army." Tubalu, no one will be left behind."

"Hi!"

In this way, after Tamura gave the order, the Tamura Squadron quickly moved towards the slope from the east.

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

Some scattered devil scouts were secretly shot by the soldiers and killed directly.

Tamura Squadron was closer to the slope, coupled with the active and fast attack, so Sato Squadron approached the slope area earlier.

Then there was the old-fashioned offensive method, the grenadier in the rear bombarded the slope area, and under the cover of the firepower of the devil's light machine guns, the devil's infantry took the opportunity to attack.

When the Japanese army launched the bombardment, Tamura observed the situation of the soil slope not far away from the binoculars:

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

This is in line with the appearance of being suddenly attacked, and everything seems reasonable.

Bombarded by grenadiers and covered by light machine gun fire from the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army could not even respond immediately with firepower, and subsequent firepower counterattacks were relatively sparse. The three infantry squads of the Japanese army advanced smoothly.

Tamura, who was commanding from the rear, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was being too careful.

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

When it was less than 80 meters away, in order to prevent accidental injury, the devil artillery in the rear stopped shelling.

60 m.

On the top of the earth slope fortifications, the Eighth Route Army's firepower counterattack was still pattering, only a few dozen Eighth Routes were left out of the way, and the rest might have died under the artillery fire in the eyes of the devils.

50 m.

As they continued to approach, the devils pulled away the skirmish line and rushed forward quickly.

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

"beat!"

A loud shout came from the fortification of the earth slope hundreds of meters away. The sudden sound made Tian Cun's heart thump suddenly when he heard it.

Then Tian Cun saw through the binoculars that a large number of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared on the slope fortifications where only four or fifty people were outcropping.

At a glance, it is estimated that there are 200 people.

The key point is that the number of erected light machine guns is astonishingly large, and it is roughly estimated that there are nearly thirty of them.

"No, I've been fooled!"

Tamura, who could no longer stabilize his mentality, turned pale with fright.

Although Tamura didn't know how these Tuba roads avoided the bombardment under the previous fierce bombardment.

But what he can be sure of is that the previous shelling and light machine gun attack did not cause too much damage to the Eighth Route Army behind the slope.

These cunning Tubalu deliberately put the empire's attacking troops at close range before suddenly attacking them.

Under the sudden burst of firepower at close range, coupled with the large amount of light machine gun firepower held by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army above the slope, the bullets formed dense nets and covered the attacking devil soldiers.

Under the fierce firepower, even though the Japanese attacking troops opened the skirmish line ahead of time, the casualties spread rapidly.

Tamura panicked and gave the order to retreat. He was waiting for the opportunity. As long as his vanguard retreated another 30 meters, he immediately bombarded the eighth road that suppressed the fortifications, covering the retreat of the three infantry squads.

But then Tian Cun was completely dumbfounded, and the eighth road on the slope suddenly launched a counterattack, and quickly retreated the attack of his Tian Cun Squadron. The Eighth Route Army appeared out of nowhere and fired wildly at the imperial soldiers who were flanked from three sides.

At this moment, Tian Cun finally realized that the trap set by Balu was far bigger than he imagined.

"Artillery cover!"

Devil Squadron Leader Tian Cun pulled out his command knife and issued an order in an attempt to save the situation with the firepower of the rear-placed grenade.

boom -

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

When the devils bombarded the earth slope fortifications earlier, Lei Dasheng, who was hiding on the flank, had already arranged [-] small cannons, locked on the grenadier positions exposed by the devils, and was just waiting for the attack at this moment!
Before the devil's grenadier had time to open its fangs, it was knocked out by a round of concentrated fire from ten [-] small cannons from the fourth battalion.

The sudden scene woke up Tamura completely.

He has already realized that the strength of this Eighth Route Army is absolutely invincible.

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

"Machine gunners cover, immediately make a strategic transfer!"

Tamura issued an order, and now he pinned his hopes on the Sato Squadron not far away. He wanted to retreat temporarily, hold on to the danger, hold back the Eight Route Army, and wait for the Sato Squadron to attack from both sides.

But not long after, the sound of guns from the west directly shattered Tamura's extravagant hopes.

Tian Cun finally understood that Sato Squadron might be held back by troops of the Eighth Route Army.

There is only one way before Tamura Squadron - to retreat!

Under the cover of the firepower of the Japanese army's light machine gun before being knocked out by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, Tian Cun led the troops to retreat quickly.

Attempt to escape.

Until the gunshots from the back suddenly sounded.

Tamura, who was completely desperate, knew that it was time for him to serve the emperor and choose Yu Sui.

It turned out that during the gap between the two sides' confrontation, the Eighth Route Army soldiers took the opportunity to turn around from the two wings, tie up the mouth of the big bag, and set up machine gun fortifications from the back and side to prevent the Japanese army from retreating.

"Long live--"

"Long live--"

This little devil's will to fight is indeed good. Even though he is a second-rate unit of the second-class division, when facing a desperate situation, the screaming devil soldiers launched a long live charge, or a death charge at the order of Tamura.

Under the obstruction of the machine gun fortifications on the back, the roles of the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army were exchanged.

The devil soldiers frantically rushed towards the fortifications defended by the Eighth Route Army soldiers. After losing their artillery, these little devils tried to narrow the distance to within 40 meters, and then threw grenades to fight back.

It's a pity that what they are facing is not an ordinary eight way.

Turning around to the back, the ones who tied up their pockets were soldiers from the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

In the past six months, the soldiers of the independent regiment have not slackened in their large-scale training after fighting. The head of the regiment, Kong Jie, specifically requested that the soldiers practice accurate shooting within 200 meters.

According to Kong Jie's standard, it is not too far away, but within 200 meters, the shooting is absolutely fast, one bullet for one enemy.

Coupled with the light and heavy machine guns arranged in advance.

The lives of the devils who launched the charge were continuously harvested like leeks.

Looking at the devils who fell down one after another, but kept coming forward, would the soldiers feel pity and soft-hearted?

Absolutely not!

The soldiers will only feel a kind of spontaneous heartiness.

Invaders like the Japanese invaders are no different from animals, so how can we talk about mercy?
Machine gunner immediately became the most sought-after job at the moment.

"Squad leader, you have killed thirteen devils, let me do it for a while!"

Some soldiers from the Independent Regiment opened their mouths and beat the devils with bolt-action rifles. Although they shot one by one, it was really not enjoyable and the speed was too slow.

The old squad leader turned his head, showing crooked teeth, grinning and saying, "Why are you in a hurry? Anyway, let me kill another twenty to enjoy the fun. Prepare the barrel for me quickly, and hurry up and replace it later. Don't dare Delayed the work of killing devils."

"Yes!"
