The Japanese captain is not a fool. He is observing the situation in the west through a telescope. The situation does not seem to be complicated.
Tubalu is fleeing westward.
In the west, the trained Imperial Association Army has established a team line. Although the Imperial Association Army is a bit useless, there are many people. It is visually estimated that the number of people in the Eighth Route Army is not large, and they are too lazy to personally direct it.
The lieutenant next to him calmly gave the order. The first group of warriors attacked head-on, the two groups flanked them, and the following two squadrons pressed forward.
As for the infantry cannon on the back of the car, which is a powerful weapon, it is not needed for pursuit in the dark for the time being, so it is too lazy to remove it.
Each team has grenades, but they seem to be of no use. Tubal Road has been fleeing westward!
Engineers are intensively clearing mines and filling the ditch in the middle of the road!
What puzzled him very much was the reason and motivation of the Eighth Route Army appearing here!
It stands to reason that Tubal Road should attack the Imperial Association Army, which has worse combat effectiveness! But they came to ambush the warriors. What did they want to do?
However, these are not problems. As expected, everything will be learned from those lucky enough to survive at the Tubal intersection in half an hour.
The only thing that interested him was that there seemed to be a lot of people on the block, probably close to a hundred!
What made him a little angry was that Tuba Road actually used landmines.
As his subordinates kept coming to report on the progress, the captain's eyebrows relaxed, and he had everything under control, and he was no longer anxious while sitting in the car.
In the darkness, they turned north and approached two companies of the Independent Regiment, more than 400 of them.
Captain Lu had no interest in intervening in on-site command. After the battle started, he broke through the puppet defense line before the puppet troops assembled. He believed that Wu Yan would not let him down.
village.
Although the puppet troops have poor combat effectiveness, they are not fools.
After losing a few sentries, they immediately realized that they were the unlucky ones, so the Eighth Route Army chose this place as their breakthrough point.
The messengers seeking reinforcements from nearby villages were running fiercely.
A squad of more than thirty soldiers crawled on the ground, and the battle started as scheduled. The machine guns sprayed heavy bullets, and grenades flew into the sky.
When they arrived at the Eighth Route Army due east of the puppet army position, the area was filled with darkness, there were flashes of light, and the density of bullets made the puppet soldiers quickly beg for help. Didn't they all say that there were three guns in the Eighth Route Army? It turned out that the legends were all lies.
The sharp bayonet, the overwhelming shouts of killing, and the charging horn that was least expected to be heard were all sounded.
The sound of crooked machine guns, the sound of 38-year-old gunmen, the sound of 79-year-old rifles, the sound of barge gunfire, the Czech style chaos was heard in a large area.
The eight-pronged attack was very fast. The puppet soldiers lay down in the temporarily dug trench, trembling and fired two shots into the crowd. They immediately discovered that something was wrong, there were too many eight-pronged forces.
Is this a slap in the face?
The pseudo company commander judged the situation very accurately, raised his leg and kicked the machine gunner who had just emptied a magazine and was hurriedly changing the magazine: "The Eighth Route Army is strong, hurry up!"
I'm sorry that this person used to be a member of the Shanzhai Village.
The density of troops on the Eighth Route Army cannot be offended. They are so ruthless. They dare to throw grenades forward during the charge without fear of exploding themselves!
Even if the puppet company commander shouted loudly, the puppet troops in front did not have enough time to escape, and they were chased by the Eighth Route Army and fled everywhere.
The temporary defense line of the puppet army was built in a hurry, but it was set up exactly as the imperial army wanted. Fifty meters apart, three foxhole lines were stretched horizontally from south to north. The standard deep trench layout was not connected because of lack of manpower.
Most of the puppet troops were concentrated on the eighth route on the easternmost border.
The eight-pronged attack was overwhelming. The puppet troops, who were good at escaping, were frightened. On the smoke-filled position, they could no longer distinguish their direction.
The battle line was too long, and the puppet soldiers who did not hear the puppet company commander's orders still stubbornly resisted and fired with guns. After defeating the two Eighth Route Army, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops rushed into the skirmisher line with bayonets drawn.
The leading assault troops quickly moved through, and the main force following them quickly swept the abandoned positions of the puppet troops with torches.
The bayonet penetrated the flesh, and the puppet soldiers who were still struggling and shouting were completely turned into corpses.
There was no time to run around when I got on the torch, so I was all confused.
The two Jaap instructors who were supervising the battle hid in the village and watched the puppet troops keep running towards the village. The birds chirped and shouted for a long time, but no one listened at all. They could only watch the Eighth Route Army marching westward gradually with torches in silence.
After the Eighth Route Army established blocking defense lines in the villages on the north and south sides, a group of stretchers began to appear in the light of fire and headed west. The prisoners were pointed at guns and did not dare to slow down. Who knew whether the bullets of the imperial army behind them had eyes.
Joining the blocking enemy team, he followed up the main group from the south, retreated while fighting, and turned to the west under the moonlight.
The Eighth Route Army was right in front, and the leading Japanese troops were desperately pursuing them. They were running and shooting. People fell down from time to time in the darkness ahead.
The distance was only a hundred or two hundred, and the eight soldiers who fell to the ground were constantly hugging the legs of the pursuing Japanese. After being brought down, they would either use bayonets or directly fire grenades.
The Japanese lieutenant who led the pursuit was very depressed. After chasing for four or five miles, the Eighth Route Army turned north. This was not surprising, it was expected.
Shockingly, nearly half of his men were killed or injured! It's impossible to aim in the dark, and if you're hit by a gun that's not in the vitals, you won't be dead for a while!
Most of the injured warriors were those who were hit by the warriors on the Tubal Road, who fired grenades before dying, or those who rushed into the Eighth Road and planted landmines in a hurry.
If Tubal Road hadn't occasionally planted two landmines when escaping, the warriors would have cleared up the group of escaping Eighth Route Army!
Now they have to avoid the landmines on the ground and the grenades thrown by Tuba Road. The firepower of the pursuing warriors has become much sparse and their speed has completely slowed down.
The battlefield situation changed again. The Eighth Route Army no longer ran north, but actually ran into the defense line blocked by the Imperial Alliance Army.
This is better. As long as your Eighth Route Army engages in head-on firefights with the Imperial Alliance Army, you won't be able to run away. If you're attacked from both sides, I'll see where you're going to run on the Eighth Route Army!
Even if you turn north at that time, I don't need to follow you. You will still be attacked from both sides by the Imperial Alliance Army and the warriors. As expected, the Eighth Route Army will be destroyed in half an hour!
He may not have thought that the captain had the same idea half an hour ago!
The time for the simultaneous attack from both sides to begin is just around the corner!
The lieutenant's surprise didn't last five minutes when his jaw dropped!
He could see clearly that the Tubal Road he was chasing was not a company at all!
Four to five hundred people appeared in the dark wilderness. This was basically a battalion level!
Only one charge broke through the defense line set up by the Imperial Army for an entire afternoon!
The escaping Eighth Route Army ran faster than a rabbit. The lieutenant's head was buzzing, and he finally saw the legendary trick of suspecting soldiers.
At the same time, I also understand what it means to be vulnerable!
Where has the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army gone after more than half a year of training?
Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, the Imperial Army had already notified the Eighth Route Army in advance that it might move westward. Are all the Imperial Army's losers?
Since the Eighth Route Army fled north, Battalion Commander Wang discussed with the Japanese instructors for a long time and finally concluded that the Eighth Route Army would eventually flee. The mobile troops had already moved westward to suppress the sudden appearance of the Eighth Route Army at nightfall.
It was a bit slow to regroup the separated team in the dark.
The Japanese instructor was anxious.
The leading troops of the imperial army coming from the east have arrived in the village.
After giving the order to the two instructors to keep the defense line stable, they turned to the north to pursue and intercept them.
The scale of this battle is not small.
The puppet soldiers who fled westward only hated their parents for missing two legs.
People often say that if you keep green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. What is more important than saving your life?
Running until his legs became weak, a puppet soldier out of breath asked his brother who was following him and ran hurriedly: "Hey, why is this Tubalu still chasing after him?"
"What are you talking about? Tubalu? I dare you not to be the Eighth Route Army?" The man next to him, who was panting and unable to speak completely, lost his footing, fell down, and immediately pulled the gun on the ground, the bolt of the gun clattering. .
