Hide and Ichiro's lungs were about to burst with anger at this moment. These damn idiots were so cunning.
The scouts dispatched from the front quickly returned to report: "Reporting to the squadron leader, Tubal Road is fleeing to the north, and is already more than a mile away from us!"
"Asshole! Chase!"
Hidewa Ichiro gritted his teeth and issued the order. He was always worried that most of the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side had withdrawn in advance and might block the reinforcements sent by the Major in the middle.
After the order was issued, the Japs from Xiuhe Squadron quickly pursued the evacuating First Company Commander and his party.
Hidekazu Ichiro was not stupid. When he quickly pursued the Eighth Route Army, he also considered whether this might be a trap for the Eighth Route Army, and whether the Eighth Route Army might set up an ambush along the way.
Therefore, during the pursuit, he was very cautious and sent out scouts and vanguards in advance to search and advance to ensure that he would not be ambushed midway.
At this time, the distance between the Japanese army and the first company soldiers was not too far.
When the little Japanese was chasing after him quickly, the first company commander ordered the soldiers to slow down and deliberately held the little Japanese close to him.
When the Japanese army was chasing closer, the first company commander would immediately order to use natural bunkers as fortifications to launch a short-term fire blockade.
Faced with the sudden firepower of a company of soldiers, the little Japanese had to suspend their pursuit. The two sides opened up their positions and started a firefight.
But the company commander is not stupid.
At present, his military strength and firepower are no match for the little Japs on the other side, so he will not be stupid enough to fight head-on with the Japs.
After a moment of confrontation, the Japanese stopped their pursuit.
The first company commander immediately ordered the soldiers to leave some booby traps and landmines, and then continue to retreat.
For Hidewa Ichiro who was pursuing, the Tubal Road on the opposite side was as cunning as a loach, leaving him with nowhere to use his strength. As soon as the artillery position on his side was constructed, the Tubal Road on the opposite side continued to flee while being dispersed.
Helpless Hide and Ichiro could only continue to order the pursuit while cursing.
But these bad guys are very cunning.
Every time the Japanese tried to make a detour from the left or right, they would be discovered by the Eighth Route Army scouts.
In this way, in the process of fighting and chasing each other, the entire Xiuhe squadron's little devils seemed to be led by the nose by the first company commander and the others.
Until a certain time, the confrontation between the two sides broke out again.
This time, the first company commander seemed to have made some mistakes. The soldiers did not evacuate in time, and were even entangled by the Japs who quickly attacked.
The distance between the firepower exchange between the two sides was even less than 50 meters.
After chasing all the way, Hide and Ichiro, the jealous Japanese squadron leader, almost hit him. Seeing that he finally bit the loach-like Tubalu, he immediately ordered the main force of the squadron to rush in quickly and quickly eat the Tubalu.
The first company commander led less than two platoons of soldiers and retreated some distance during the difficult blockade. The team's casualties were already very high.
Xiu and Ichiro saw that the opportunity to eliminate this group of hateful Tobali was right in front of them.
Not caring about anything else, he directly ordered a full-scale attack!
In a not-so-large mountain col, the two sides used some small locally raised soil slopes to launch the final confrontation.
Both sides seemed to be furious, each suffering casualties.
But the Japanese clearly have an absolute advantage in strength and firepower. According to this consumption rate, it won't be long before the soldiers are all exhausted.
Seeing this scene, Hide and Ichiro were so excited that they took out their command swords and roared: "Attack, destroy these bastards, leave no one behind!"
Boom——
The next moment, Hide and Ichiro's roaring words were drowned out by a large number of artillery shells that fell on the attack area of the Japanese soldiers.
As the situation changes on both sides.
As they were chasing the First Company Commander and the others, at some point behind the bulging slopes on both sides of the mountain col, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops suddenly appeared and launched a fire attack from a commanding height.
Seeing this scene, Hide and Ichiro suddenly came to his senses in shock, and he realized that he had been fooled.
The damn small group of Eighth Route Army in front of them was clearly trying to lure them over gradually in this way.
This is the ambush circle that Tubal Road has designed long ago.
In the ensuing firefight, Hide and Ichiro could even be sure that the Tubal Road ambushing on both sides of the mountain col was the main force of the Eighth Route Army that had withdrawn previously.
So...from the beginning to the end, the withdrawal of the main force of these cunning Tubal Road was just to lure him to take the initiative and then set up an ambush here?
Hide and Ichiro thought with some annoyance that he had been fooled so stupidly.
good.
Hide and Ichiro guessed correctly.
This is exactly the countermeasure agreed upon by the First Company Commander and the Third Company Commander in advance.
On the right bank of the river, with their sophisticated equipment, abundant ammunition, and fortifications that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult to deal with the more than 100 little Japs of Xiuhe Squadron.
In addition, Hide and Ichiro were determined to stick to the danger.
Like a bastard hiding in a hard turtle shell, it's not easy to attack.
The first company commander and the third company commander thought about it and decided on a battle plan to lure the enemy to attack.
First, let the third company commander lead the main force to approach the Huting stronghold, giving the Japanese army the illusion that the third company commander and the others were heading for the Japanese stronghold or reinforcements.
Then one company commander was left behind, and with a small number of troops, he continued to confront the Xiuhe Squadron on the right bank of the river.
Seeing that there were very few troops on the side of the first company commander, the Japanese were naturally unwilling to be blocked on the right bank of the river and launched an attack as expected.
After the battle broke out, the first company commander, who had insufficient troops, was naturally no match for him, so he was forced to evacuate under the attack of the Japanese army.
Then he hung up the little Japs not too far away, gradually paralyzing the Japanese army's judgment, and luring the Japs into the ambush circle.
The ambush battle before us finally started.
The ambush battle that suddenly started did not allow the little devils in Xiuhe's squadron to take advantage of their firepower.
Now the old Japanese Hide and Ichiro no longer have the excellent natural bunker fortifications on the right bank of the river, so he can only use some corners to launch a counterattack on the spot.
"Immediately send an order to the headquarters. Our department is requesting tactical guidance. It is extremely urgent!"
While directing the Japanese soldiers to fight, Hide and Ichiro ordered the communications corps to send a request for help.
Inside the headquarters of Huting Stronghold.
The Japanese Major Furukawa, who quickly received the news, was dumbfounded.
He cursed in the headquarters: "Idiot Hidewa Ichiro, what on earth is he doing? We agreed to stay in danger, why did he pursue the Tubal Road all the way, and was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army halfway?"
But scolding comes naturally, and Furukawa naturally cannot sit back and watch the destruction of Hidewa Squadron.
He quickly issued an order: "Notify the reinforcements immediately and quickly send reinforcements to Xiuhe Squadron!"
"Hi!"
…
Halfway from Huting stronghold to the right bank of the river.
The battle of the soldiers of the Second Company to block the Japanese reinforcements is still going on.
The Japanese cavalry unit, which was the first to advance, was hit by fierce firepower in the pocket ambush circle carefully prepared by the soldiers of the second company. The casualties at this time were considerable.
The original No. 780 Cavalry had been destroyed by nearly half.
The Japanese tank squad, who were only four or five hundred meters away from the Japanese cavalry in the rear, heard the sound of fighting and rushed to their aid.
The two Iron Kings took the lead, and the Japanese infantry who followed behind hid behind the tanks, doing the simplest infantry-tank coordination.
At this time, when the Japanese cavalrymen who suffered heavy casualties saw their own tanks arriving, they were all convinced that the savior was here!
As everyone knows, the second company commander who was ambushed on the right side of the road and was commanding calmly saw the two iron bastards driving in first, with almost no infantry covering the front, and a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"The little devil's iron bastard has finally arrived. Immediately call him Zhang Dafang and give him a bloody blow!"
"yes!"
The anti-tank combat team assigned to the Second Company this time, just as Li Yunlong was involved, was an anti-tank combat team composed of six anti-tank rocket launchers that Kong Jie specially sent to Li Yunlong not long ago.
There are a total of twelve team members, equipped with six "fire blowers".
Team leader Zhang Dafang.
After the second company commander's order was issued, the soldiers of the anti-tank combat team ambushing on the left were extremely happy when they saw the two Japanese Iron Kings driving in with a roar, and not too fast.
This little devil's iron bastard just let us fight!
With such a big target and such a close distance, it would be unreasonable to miss it again.
The soldiers quickly prepared for battle. Based on their rich combat experience, they waited until the Japanese iron bastard rushed up a steep uphill slope and approached, and when the speed approached the lowest point, they moved to carry it on their shoulders. bazooka launch button.
call……
Hot flames shot out from the flared hole at the end of the rocket launcher in vain.
Rockets were fired one after another directly at the Japanese iron bastard who was only 70 to 80 meters away at the bottom of the hillside.
In order to ensure a fatal hit, the soldiers chose to shoot at the side armor of the Japanese Iron Bastard, where the armor would be weaker than the front armor.
But in fact, the soldiers were simply overly worried.
Just these thin-skinned tanks from the little devil.
In addition, this rocket launcher is an anti-tank weapon.
Even the Iron Bastard who hits the Japs from the front armor can tear apart the Japs' tanks in an instant.
The image of smashing cans with a hammer was repeated again, and even the soldiers who fired the rockets themselves could not help but be stunned.
Just a few booming explosions were heard.
The tracks of the two tanks seemed to be still moving forward, but a large hole was blown out of the armor on the sides in the explosion.
The Japanese tank soldiers inside the tank had already been killed on the spot.
Amidst the roar of the engines, the two Japanese Iron Kings, which drove in with overwhelming force, exited the scene in such a hasty manner amidst the high expectations of the Japanese soldiers.
It's actually quite dramatic.
The Japanese infantry following the Japanese tank also suffered many casualties, and even more of them were in horror, looking at everything in front of them in disbelief.
The tanks that their tank team relied on most to fight were turned into two piles of scrap metal in the blink of an eye. Everything seemed like a dream.
On the left side of the slope, I saw that one attack directly destroyed two Japanese Iron Bastards. Looking back on the past, soldiers lacked anti-tank weapons and often had to make great sacrifices to replace one Japanese Iron Bastard. The tragedy.
Zhang Dafang, the team leader in charge of the command, almost burst into tears.
"Damn, that was a great fight!"
"Captain Kong's fire blower is also very useful. With this magical weapon, our infantry won't be afraid of that damn iron bastard anymore!"
There is nothing wrong with what I say.
The anti-tank rocket launcher is easy to operate and has strong armor-breaking capabilities. It even directly reverses the problem that infantry often has difficulty dealing with tanks in conventional combat.
Especially on the Sino-Japanese battlefield, it is no exaggeration.
If the Eighth Route Army had a sufficient number of anti-tank rocket launchers, the Japanese tanks would even be a joke in this war.
The battle between the two sides continued to escalate and quickly became intense.
The soldiers of the second company no longer held back, and all the firepower that had been temporarily hidden exploded. Under the leadership of the second company commander, the soldiers tried to kill the Japanese cavalry in the ambush circle and the reinforced Japanese tank team in the shortest possible time. Annihilate them all here.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers no longer had any illusions about the assistance of tanks, and relied on the surrounding bunkers to fight back desperately.
The battlefield at this time is divided into two places.
Xiuhe Squadron was struggling to hold on within the ambush circle of the 1st and 3rd companies.
The Japanese cavalry troops and tank squads also encountered fierce firepower from the soldiers of the Second Company.
Under the reversal of the situation, the two combat units of the Japanese army were all at a disadvantage.
..."Your Majesty, Major!"
Inside the Huting headquarters, the Japanese adjutant spoke anxiously.
The Communications Department has repeatedly received requests for reinforcements from the Hidewa Squadron and the Cavalry Unit.
"Your Majesty, Major, if reinforcements don't arrive, Xiuhe Squadron and our cavalry unit and tank squad may be in danger of being destroyed!"
Furukawa, who also frowned, said in a deep voice: "Soon, soon!"
At this time, the Eighth Route Army soldiers did not know.
If viewed from a high altitude.
The Japanese's third reinforcement mechanized combat squadron was quickly divided into two parts, and then, amid the speed of transport vehicles, it quickly detoured towards the two battlefields where Xiuhe's squadron and the Japanese's cavalry troops fought.
And gradually showed the trend of encirclement.
The old devil Furukawa is indeed a ruthless character. He would rather fight with Xiuhe squadron and risk the destruction of the cavalry unit and tank team.
We should also take the opportunity to hold back the ambush troops of the Eighth Route Army, and use the mobility of the mechanized combat squadron to quietly surround the Eighth Route Army troops.
But I have to admit that in this game, the old devil Furukawa finally became the winner!
When the soldiers were eager to destroy the Japanese troops in front of them, they neglected the surrounding vigilance.
After the Japanese mechanized combat troops quickly arrived near the battlefield, the Japanese soldiers quickly jumped out of the transport carriages, carrying weapons one by one, and launched a surprise attack directly from the back and side of the fighting Eighth Route Army troops.
In both battlefields, the Eighth Route Army soldiers originally had the absolute upper hand.
However, with the sudden appearance of the Japanese mechanized combat troops, the situation was reversed in vain.
Being attacked from behind by the Japanese, the faces of the first company commander, the second company commander, and the third company commander all suddenly changed.
"Damn it, why did the Japanese reinforcements come so fast?"
The second company commander couldn't help but curse angrily. The direction in which these little devils were attacking caught him even more off guard.
The battle in front of him fell short, and he was about to wipe out the Japanese in front of him.
The little devils from the mechanized combat unit who came for reinforcements, after abandoning the transport vehicles, reached the flank of the second company, and with the help of the specially equipped sophisticated firepower configuration, they suddenly burst out with surprise firepower.
Let the casualties of the Second Company spread rapidly...
