The Japanese cavalry scouts, listening to the intensive gunfire in front, ran desperately under the scorching sun, and finally rushed to the edge of the battlefield on their short legs, and got together with the Japanese observation and warning posts.
They were all anxious, one asked about the situation on the battlefield, and the other asked how far away the cavalry reinforcements were!
The eight-pronged black crowd is charging with loud murderous sounds!
The supreme commander, Lieutenant, was injured at this critical moment.
The puppet battalion commander Wang Guofan saw it clearly, and felt numb in his heart. It was already this time! There is nothing more important than a life!
As a veteran, you had never fought a tough battle in the National Army. Surrendering to the Japanese was just to save your life, and escaping was not a psychological barrier for him at all.
He quickly kicked the brothers who were lying nearby and pretending to be dead, and yelled: "Retreat!"
He climbed up directly from the ditch, spread his legs and ran back!
So, the puppet soldiers who were lying on the ground pretending to be dead were overjoyed when they heard the sound of retreating. They immediately got up like a gust of wind and ran away with the battalion commander.
The Japanese second lieutenant was still shouting hysterically, raised his gun and fired another bullet at the attacking Eighth Route Army. Seeing that the defeat was determined, he felt anxious!
Not all Japanese soldiers have the consciousness to fight to the death. The seriously injured lieutenant is not stupid. The reinforcements are not far behind. Knowing that if he persists, the whole army will be annihilated, so he hesitates.
If we do not retreat, we lose hope of a comeback.
Even the aviation force had arrived for reinforcements. He could not contact the aviation force, but the cavalry brigade must have a radio station. He was actually beaten to a pulp by a regiment of Tubalu!
Calm down, must be calm, the lieutenant is constantly thinking about how to deal with the battlefield!
There were too many people on the Eighth Route Army, and there was no point in holding on. The Imperial Alliance Army retreated without permission without receiving orders. After the lieutenant greeted Battalion Commander Wang and his family, he knew that the situation was over.
These Chinese, after the war, they must all be shot!
However, the situation had gotten so bad that he quickly made a wise choice whether to let the imperial elites be in vain or wait for the large forces to arrive before counterattacking!
"Retreat!" The assistant finally gave the order at the lieutenant's signal!
Several Japanese soldiers carried the lieutenant onto the motorcycle, stomped on it a few times to light it up, then turned around and ran away.
The Japanese car started and was turning around!
The second lieutenant who was already closest to the Eighth Route Attack Team asked his men to put on the machine guns and climb onto the car that was turning around.
The distance between the eight-way outflanking cavalry has reached less than fifty meters!
The main target of this trip is the Japanese car. At this time, it seems that it is no longer important. Killing one more Japanese will bring out the anger that has been suppressed for many years.
The cavalrymen were on bumpy horses, raising their guns and aiming at the Japanese who were turning around and running away.
More than ten rounds of bullets immediately flew out of the air, flying over a distance of more than forty meters in an instant.
It is impossible to hit a certain position accurately. The car is a big target, and a certain bullet flies directly towards the car that is turning around.
A hole was punched through the windshield in an instant. The warhead flew to an unknown destination, but it filled most of the cab with tiny fragments, and part of it went directly into the driver's eye socket!
His face was aching, and his eyeballs couldn't bear the impact of shards of glass. Everything in front of him went dark, and the driver subconsciously stepped on the brakes with a scream.
More bullets roared in the air. When the car stopped, the Japanese who had just climbed into the car panicked, jumped down again, and then fled with the puppet troops running eastward.
The lieutenant sat on the motorcycle and ran away. The Japanese second lieutenant was still desperately shooting back, shooting at close range and accurately. After almost every shot, one of the eight soldiers who rushed over fell down!
He tried to buy his companion some time.
The men led by Wang Peng had already rushed closer, and the dense bullets did not give the second lieutenant any chance!
A reloaded rifle bullet flew out of the muzzle of the old sleeve and slammed into the second lieutenant's chest, spinning and scurrying around in his body.
Then another bullet hit him immediately, until he fell to the ground screaming, still with his eyes wide open, and kept pulling the trigger of the rifle that had long been out of bullets.
Die with your eyes open! He was very unwilling, there was still a girl waiting for him in his hometown!
The big regretful eyes slowly lost their luster.
A large group of puppet troops ran directly to the guard post in the rear where they were stunned!
The Imperial Alliance Army is indeed unreliable! The sentry held his 38 rifle and shouted ferociously at the retreating puppet troops: "Stop!"
However, no one paid attention.
The sentry immediately fired a shot into the sky!
Battalion Commander Wang of the puppet army was furious and rushed forward from behind: "The squadron leader has ordered a retreat. Look, his motorcycle is coming with him. You still want to stop the ball?"
A bullet flew from behind and roared through the air. The sentry had already seen the approaching motorcycle. He just wanted to confirm it. He was stunned for a moment and watched as he passed him and ran eastward in panic!
He still had to wait for the squadron leader to come over.
Thinking that the cavalry brigade is not far away, as soon as the cavalry arrives, no one on these Tubal Road can escape!
Now, there is really no need to lose your life in vain here. The order given by the squadron leader should be very wise.
...
The pilots hovering in the sky looked at the chaotic scene below. There was smoke and dust caused by running everywhere, and they couldn't see clearly what was going on on the ground.
His reconnaissance plane had a machine gun on board, and he was hesitating whether to launch a ground attack.
The other reconnaissance plane in the two-plane formation went to Qixian County. Only on the Chinese battlefield can he show off his power as a single plane!
The battle scene below is really not small, but it is too chaotic and it is impossible to identify the enemy and ourselves. You make me impatient to wait for the machine gun bullets!
It has been whistling and swooping back and forth on the battlefield for several times, dispersing a lot of smoke on the battlefield!
Finally, we saw clearly those troops who escaped from the battlefield smoke.
It turned out to be the Imperial Army!
A black line, filled with rage, immediately prepared to attack the pursuing troops behind.
He circled back again, clinging to the ground, taking away a large cloud of gunpowder smoke. After going back and forth twice, he could barely see the battlefield clearly.
Finally, it was discovered that there was the Imperial Association Army sandwiched with Tubal Road on the battlefield!
Therefore, the pilot who raised the altitude again was confused. Should he dive and strafe? He couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
His mission was to conduct reconnaissance. The Imperial Army had withdrawn, leaving only the Imperial Association Army and the Eighth Route Army fighting in a melee. This was not a positional battle. The aircraft's machine guns could not fire at all, and it did not seem to have much effect.
Looking at the number of Imperial Alliance troops below, it seems that there are quite a few. The situation on the battlefield is unclear, and they have not received any orders to join the attack. Whether they join the attack or not does not seem to matter.
Thinking of this, the pilot flew around the battlefield, then directly raised the plane and headed towards the dusty place to the east.
Hu Yi looked at the Japanese plane leaving in the distance, his heart still pounding. Fortunately, the soldiers he brought with him, because the Eighth Route Army lacked uniforms, the security group that was recruited at this time was still wearing puppet army clothes. Maybe it was these clothes that confused him. pilot!
Gao Yidao's charge ended too quickly, and the Japanese ran away!
Most of the first attacking platoon died. The injured platoon leader was put on a stretcher: "Company commander, this has not completed the mission. Please punish me!"
what happened?
We rushed into the puppet army's position. Many puppet soldiers were lying on the ground pretending to be dead. We didn't have enough people, so we couldn't do anything to them. They didn't take the initiative to attack us. They just lay on the ground and waited for you, company commander, to come up! The platoon leader looked sad.
"You're crying, you're good!" Gao Yidao comforted helplessly.
Scattered screams rang out on the battlefield, and then stopped suddenly!
The puppet soldiers fled eastward. The runners fell down, lost their rifles, and lost their hats. No one cared about them. They ran two miles away in one breath. The cold guns behind them could no longer hit them. They were exhausted and slowly ran eastward.
Several Japanese soldiers pulling war horses appeared in front of them!
Has the army arrived? The puppet soldiers felt that they could no longer move, and immediately fell to the ground in a large area, never wanting to move again. This battle was too scary. They lost a company of the Imperial Army's troops, and the Imperial Army lost nearly two soldiers. Squad!
With such huge battle damage, the only reason he could escape alive was because of the smoke rising from his ancestral graves!
The Second Company suffered heavy losses, with nearly forty casualties and nearly a hundred injured!
Several seriously injured soldiers had their wounds pressed tightly by the health workers. It was obvious that they were dying. Their whole bodies were twitching and they were unwilling to die like this.
The unconscious man was carried on a stretcher.
Hu Yi held up the telescope and looked at the plane going away, feeling heavy!
If you encounter cavalry, there will be divisional troops behind you, but there is absolutely nothing you can do about the bombing by Japanese planes!
He gave the order helplessly: "Clean the battlefield quickly and carry all the sacrificed soldiers to the ditch behind for burial!"
The losses in this battle were too great. Gao Yidao suddenly thought of something. During the entire battle, except for firing mortars at the Japanese positions, the Ninth Company seemed to have never participated in the attack!
He suddenly had the urge to beat up the bastard. Your men are new recruits, aren't I's men?
I had more than a hundred casualties, but it would be better for you to sacrifice two or three, and most of the others were minor injuries!
The soldiers of the Second Company were gathering their injured comrades and carrying the fallen comrades together. Their faces were covered with military caps. Some soldiers hugged the corpses and watched everything quietly, seemingly numbly.
There are also soldiers sitting under the scorching sun, carving lines on the butts of their rifles, and more soldiers are pulling out the Japanese equipment without even leaving a piece of crotch cloth...
