Hu Yi raised his hand and wiped a handful of sand from his face. It mixed with the sweat on his palm and rubbed it into strips.
After being shelled by the Japanese, the Ninth Company suffered more than a dozen casualties, and the injured were being bandaged.
Wang Peng led more than a hundred soldiers, followed Luo Fugui, who was leading the way, and rushed into the smoke that was slowly dissipating. He had done cleaning the battlefield before, but the bloody scene in front of him made Wang Peng, who was not even afraid of death, even The soldier was afraid.
Seeing that the friendly forces finally arrived, the cavalry company commander set up a guard post and looked at the horses lying on the ground in the dust and fog. The soldiers were carrying the fallen comrades together and bandaging the injured.
The loss is huge!
The thirty or forty puppet soldiers kneeling on the ground were trembling!
A Japanese prisoner whose leg had been trampled off was shouting and cursing in the language of birds.
A soldier from the Ninth Company with a scar on his face walked slowly past, holding a 38 rifle with a bayonet attached.
The commander of the cavalry company was shocked because he saw the tip of a bayonet suddenly appear on the waist of the prisoner's back, and drops of blood were forming a line downwards.
The company commander was stunned. Killing prisoners on the battlefield was a serious violation of discipline! Are you so afraid of being punished again?
He recognized Ma Liang, the platoon leader of the Ninth Company who made the move, and quickly turned his head. At the moment, he could only pretend not to see it!
However, Ma Liang walked up to him again, kicked a Japanese head off the ground, and said sincerely: "I still have to trouble you. If we want to capture the Japanese car, the company commander asks you to immediately cut off the Japanese's escape route." !”
The cavalry company commander was speechless. Can’t you see that I suffered more than half of my casualties? Taking a breath of cold air, from beginning to end, the ninth company of the Independent Regiment was different from the other troops he had seen. What it was, he couldn't tell.
I feel that there is an indescribable sense of distance from the Ninth Company. I am sure that they are the Eighth Route Army, but I can't tell what is the difference between these soldiers and them!
Ma Liang didn't seem to notice this detail, or he didn't care at all. He continued walking eastward, passed through the gunpowder smoke, and looked at the Japanese observation post in the distance still looking here with a telescope.
He quickly retreated into the fading smoke and dust.
No one expected that the first to end the battle would be an offensive force composed of Japanese and puppet troops!
The result still ended with the entire Japanese and puppet army being annihilated!
It seems that flanking the declining cavalry is a good tactic!
In the telescope, Gao Yidao was secretly cursing Jiulian for being immoral and allowing friendly troops to attack from the flanks. He was just hiding in the ditch dug in the front and taking advantage. He still had the nerve to lead people to clean the battlefield?
But the tactics proposed by Hu Zasui were good, with frontal defense and flanking maneuvers. He had to admit it in his heart.
However, how did he know that the Japanese would not arrange a second echelon to continue the charge?
Maybe he was afraid of the cavalry.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Everyone is here, attack eastward and reinforce a platoon!"
According to the pre-agreed attack time point, after repelling the Japanese offensive troops head-on, the second company must carry out a second echelon charge against the puppet army positions and attack the Japanese positions.
The Ninth Company failed to repulse the enemy's attack, but used the cavalry company to fight a battle of annihilation!
The one who shouted the attack just like him was Wang Penglian who swept the battlefield head-on and then feinted again!
The Japanese Lieutenant's scalp began to tingle. He never expected that there would be so many eight-legged soldiers hidden in the reeds by the river! There is actually a second echelon in the eighth attack on the right wing!
If I hadn't strictly followed the bullshit orders issued by the idiots at the headquarters not to approach Qixian County, how could I have let Eighth Route Army touch me without even knowing it?
There are so many people on the other side, just two reconnaissance teams can find them!
Although his subordinates are the second-class division guard squadron that has just been transferred to China from China, they have once defeated a regiment of the national army on this land!
The current situation seems to be very different from before. Shouldn't the Chinese army be the frontrunner in the battle, and the imperial army lead the imperial association army to chase?
Doesn’t the Eighth Route Army only fight guerrillas?
Why do they have cannons?
When will they engage in positional warfare again?
Another group of eight groups appeared on the front to attack the skirmisher line. When did they have the courage to attack the imperial army again?
Even if you add in the Eighth Route Cavalry that was outflanked by the left wing earlier, it’s only one regiment!
Why do they dare to attack the imperial army!
Faced with an eight-pronged attack involving infantry and cavalry, he hesitated!
That’s not what the intelligence says!
I have heard from my seniors that the Eighth Route Army is not afraid of death. I have also heard the joke that the Eighth Route Army will go to heaven and earth. It is said that they were blown up to the sky by the warriors' cannonballs and then crawled into holes in the ground and turned into mice!
It’s a complete joke among the military. Is it possible that those legends are true?
Finally knowing that the matter was serious, the lieutenant drew out his command knife and pointed in the front direction. He was stunned for a long time and did not dare to issue an order to launch a countercharge on the right wing to face the enemy head on.
The ordering soldier next to him came to his mouth and almost screamed out something like killing a chicken...
The assistant quickly ran to the operator under the telephone pole and called the Huaxian Gendarmerie again.
Confirmation: The cavalry from Huaxian County has been leaving west for an hour, but why haven't they found any movement of the cavalry yet?
All this time, this squadron has been performing sweeps and suppression missions in the occupied areas!
The lieutenant was furious and refused to give up. He climbed onto the roof of the car and looked eastward again with his binoculars. In the backlight, he finally saw a puff of smoke coming from the west.
The lieutenant was stunned. Needless to say, the cavalry must have arrived!
Unable to hold back the ecstasy in his heart, he immediately ordered his subordinates before he even jumped out of the car: "Every unit, build positions immediately and garrison in place!"
The Eighth Route Army on the opposite side made real moves and launched a battalion-sized three-pronged all-out attack!
The lieutenant regretted it again. Hundreds of people stayed here for a day and a night, but they never thought of digging a trench, even a few foxholes!
When fighting against Tubal Road, when did the imperial army have to rely on digging holes to defend themselves?
The dense Eight Roads surged in like a tidal wave.
Moreover, they also used the imperial army's best combination of infantry and artillery tactics. How could Tubal Road use it so skillfully?
An 82mm mortar shell made in Jinling, with a unique whistling sound, crashed from the sky. It landed not far in front of the lieutenant, raising a large cloud of sand and dust, and falling sand and mud. The lieutenant was knocked down by the assistant next to him.
Broken down, those two mortars from Tubal Road are here again!
The disgraced lieutenant looked pale: The opposite side must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army! You have to report it immediately⋯
A few seconds later, a hail of machine gun bullets began to scream and roar continuously, extending wantonly, and the ballistic trajectory plowed back and forth in the half-kneeling team of Japanese soldiers, like plowing left and right.
Several warriors were wounded and wailing!
Five or six Japs squatted in front of the lieutenant to form a human shield. Yu Jin stopped dodging and immediately roared an order to the artilleryman next to him: "Start the artillery attack immediately!"
As a result, mortars, grenades, grenades, and grenades from both sides immediately flew in the sky.
Machine gun bullets were raging everywhere, harvesting every living life.
There were dense explosions one after another.
The Japs with superior firepower bombarded the eight-pronged charging team over and over again.
The artillery observers continued to provide shooting parameters, but the mortar positions on both sides were too far apart, and it was impossible to accurately hit the two mortar positions on the eighth road, where one shot and no shells were fired erratically!
The lieutenant felt uncomfortable. He only had one idea now: hold this position and wait for reinforcements.
The cavalry to the east is not far away. Maybe, if we hold on for another ten minutes, the cavalry will come up with reinforcements!
The Imperial Association troops on the right wing were quite brave, and the stabbing battle was still going on. The Eighth Route Army who rushed up fought with the Imperial Association troops for more than ten minutes, but the battle was not over yet!
The two sides of the battle were constantly tearing and rolling on the ground, and puffs of dust were flying.
The warriors who had arranged for reinforcements on the right wing were watching from a distance, warning the Eighth Route Army that the right wing would attack again.
The battle scene ahead was too chaotic, and the military uniforms of both sides were similar in color. After being stained with gray and blood, it was even more difficult to tell who was the Imperial Alliance Army and who was the Eighth Route Army!
The Japanese second lieutenant who was a little further away had no intention of joining the bayonet fight! He just ordered that one machine gun with a crooked handle should be pointed at the bloody battlefield, and the other should be pointed at the Tubal Road that was charging to death in the distance.
