"Boom..." The shells kept hitting the mountain where the Sixth Company had just been hiding, and exploded. In less than half a minute, the mountain was blown up from smoke, and he could not see his five fingers.

The attacking troops took the opportunity to kill the high ground and prepared to kill the national rescue army, which had not yet been killed in the artillery fire.

The brigade commander kept holding a telescope to observe the battle situation, and he also believed that this was a sure victory counterattack.

As soon as the explosion stopped, the troops who were in detour began to rush up the mountain, and they were like wild horses that broke away from their reins, and no one obeyed each other.

In the blink of an eye, I saw someone rushing to the mountain filled with smoke.

Disappointedly, no gunshots came from the top of the mountain.

Although the artillery fire just now was very fierce, it was all mortars, and its power was very limited. It was impossible to blow all the enemies above to death.

Now the attacking troops rushed to the mountain as if they were entering a no-man state, and there was no sound of gunfire in the middle. There was only one possibility: the enemies who had just hid on the mountain had escaped!

Five minutes later, a lieutenant and adjutant ran to the brigade commander: "God General, the enemy on the hill ran away in advance. We only found two bodies. We should have retreated late and were killed by shells."

“Nothing else gained!”

"But our attacked cavalry team lost five warriors and two war horses. The counterattack troops were not casualties, but they lost a lot of ammunition, especially shells."

Although the brigade commander was mentally prepared, he was still shocked after listening to the report.

In particular, the losses of the cavalry units far exceeded their expectations.

This kind of fighting style in front of me has often encountered it when I was sweeping the Eighth Route Army.

Every time the Eighth Route Army attacked the Imperial Army, it would run away after a sneak attack, and would not give the Imperial Army a chance to counterattack.

But compared with the previous sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army, the sneak attacks by the National Salvation Army today are more threatening to the Imperial Army.

The Eighth Route Army was poorly equipped and had very little ammunition. The troops involved in the sneak attack were almost only equipped with rifles, and even light machine guns were rarely encountered.

During the sneak attack, each person had a rifle, and retreated after the shot was finished.

Because of the poor equipment, there are very few bullets fired, and the shooting distance is one or two hundred meters long. A sneak attack rarely causes casualties to the troops. Most sneak attacks can only play a role in harassment, confusing and exhausting the troops.

The opposite is true for pacifying the national rescue army. They are well equipped and seem to be sufficient ammunition.

Almost every sneak attack is involved with machine guns. Although the shooting distance is also very long, the sneak attack troops have strong firepower and many bullets are fired in a short period of time. The blind cat can kill several of his subordinates even if they hit the mouse.

In this way, their sneak attacks can not only harass and exhaust the Imperial Army, but also slow down the Imperial Army's marching speed, but also slightly weaken the Imperial Army's strength, killing three birds with one stone.

The more the brigade commander analyzed, the heavier his face became, but he had no choice.

The surrounding terrain is becoming more and more complex, and no matter how vigilant the troops are, they cannot avoid this ubiquitous sneak attack.

As long as this sneak attack continues, the casualties of the troops will not stop, and their strength and morale will become weaker and weaker.

The only way to break the deadlock is to quickly find the main force of the National Salvation Army and compete with them.

Thinking of this, the brigade commander decisively ordered: "All troops return to the team, let's continue to move forward!"

"All the cavalry troops patrolling and guarding outside run away for me, making it more difficult for the National Salvation Army to attack them!"

"After being attacked by the National Salvation Army again, the nearest artillery and heavy machine gun troops immediately launched a fire-counterattack and repelled it as soon as possible, but during the entire counterattack, the marching speed of the main force could not be affected!"

After the troops marched forward for another ten minutes, the sound of mine explosions reached the ears of the brigade commander again, and he knew that it was a serial mine explosion.

The brigade commander was so angry that he stamped his feet and immediately ordered the engineers to go to the front to clear the mines.

Compared with the cold guns and cold cannons of the National Salvation Army, landmines pose a greater threat to the troops.

The National Salvation Army is too cunning. Stepping on a landmine will detonate five or six mines around. Even if one landmine only kills and injures two imperial troops, it will be a combat squad.

There are more than ten kilometers to go ahead. If you let this kind of landmine continue and wait until the troops arrive in Donghui Town, the losses will definitely exceed one infantry squadron, which would be a loss.

Of course, it is not realistic to keep the engineers clearing the mines in front. Their speed is too slow and the troops cannot arrive in Donghui Town at 3:00 in the afternoon.

The brigade commander frowned and thought for two minutes, and suddenly ordered the chief of staff beside him: "Map!"

The Chief of Staff reacted quickly, and in less than half a minute, he threw a huge map in front of the brigade commander and pointed to a point above to introduce: "General, we are currently at this time!"

"This is the village closest to us..." The brigade commander pointed at the chief of staff's finger and pointed an order next to the chief of staff.

"The cavalry squadron came out with two squads and rushed here, and grabbed at least fifty young and strong men from the village and asked them to go ahead of the vanguard troops to open the way for us."

"If the National Salvation Army continues to bury landmines on the road, it will blow up the common people to force them to stop using landmines!"

The Chief of Staff's eyes lit up and he quickly replied: "General, wise, let's make arrangements for the humble position now."

More than 60 cavalrymen left the troops and rushed towards the northeast. It was difficult for Huanghu to know such a big movement.

Although it is not clear about the true purpose of these cavalry, Huang Hu knew that this was an excellent opportunity to severely damage the Japanese cavalry squadron.

Just now, three war horses stopped in front of him and had no chance to seize them. Huang Hu still feels regretful.

Now that the Japanese divided their troops, he felt that the opportunity to seize the war horses had come again, so he immediately ordered: "The guard squad, the investigation squad are all staying, and continue to monitor the Japanese on the way."

"The others followed me to chase the cavalry that the Japanese had just sent out to see if there was any chance to attack them once, and try to seize a few war horses and come back!"

The deputy company commander was very worried and hesitated to remind him.

"Company Commander, we are infantry and do not have much advantage in military strength. What if this is a conspiracy and encounter cavalry on the road!"

Huang Hu didn't seem to care at all and answered arrogantly: "What's wrong with the cavalry?"

"Although they have very strong assault ability and head-on battles, the ordinary infantry of the two companies may not be their opponents, but our sixth company is not ordinary infantry!"

"The cavalry is most afraid of machine guns, and we equipped six crooked hands to shoot the cavalry together. Even if we can't get rid of the more than 60 cavalry soldiers sent by the Japanese just now, there will definitely be no problem in defending and protecting themselves!"

"This matter is settled. Deputy Company Commander, stay and monitor the Japanese. Other troops follow me."

"The cavalry is fast, if they go too late, they won't even see their shadow!"

When Huang Hu led his team to the vicinity of Xiaolizhuang, the Japanese cavalry had already entered the village and were breaking door to door to catch people.

Huang Hu showed a sudden enlightenment expression at a glance: "I understand. The Japanese want to catch the villagers and open the way for them and detonate the mines buried on the road, so that the Japanese will not be bombed by themselves!"

"You go back immediately to inform the deputy company commander and stop burying landmines on the road. The villagers are innocent and must not let them suffer any harm!"

A row of eagles gritted their teeth with regret, and cursed very unhappy: "Company Commander, the Japanese are so cunning that they don't even let the people go. They are simply not human!"

"Can we find a way to rescue the villagers arrested by the Japanese?"

Huang Hu nodded in agreement: "I think so too, but it may not be successful. After all, the Japanese have more than 60 cavalrymen, and here they are only two or three kilometers away from their main force. The reinforcements can come in more than ten minutes!"

"Let the deputy company commander prepare first. If we are not rescued, the villagers who fall into the hands of the Japanese will not be in danger."

"Then how do we fight?" the platoon leader asked quickly, with an expression of expectation on his face, and he was ready to wait for the company commander to give orders.

"Just fight here!" Huang Hu ordered.

"There are also Japanese soldiers arresting people in the village. If we enter the village and fight with the Japanese inside, their maneuver advantage will not be able to be used. Their combat effectiveness is not as good as ordinary infantry, and the military strength advantage lies in us, so it will definitely be easier to destroy them!"

"The third row stays here, I leave all the crooked hands here, and build a machine gun position on the spot. If the Japanese want to retreat, they can shoot them directly with the machine gun, and how many can they kill."

"The others took the grenades and walked around the village, so as to prevent the Japanese from taking the opportunity to slip away!"

After giving the order, Huang Hu pulled out the box gun and ran towards the other direction of the village without waiting for his subordinates to react.

Huang Hu was very lucky. When he entered the village, he saw three Japanese robbers coming out of the house with two young men.

The woman who was left in the house couldn't bear to see her husband and son being captured. She held a Japanese man's calves and refused to let go. She cried and begged for mercy, hoping that the Japanese could leave one person behind.

The Japanese immediately showed an impatient expression, and with a fierce force, he kicked the woman down at the door. After that, he was not satisfied, so he raised the butt and smashed it on her body. After bleeding his head, he caught up with his comrades with a satisfied smile.

There were two children in the room. Seeing that his mother was smashed with blood, he subconsciously rushed towards the murderer, opened his mouth and bit the Japanese thigh...

"Baga..." The Japanese, who felt the pain, cursed loudly, raised the butt again, preparing to smash the child at his feet.

Seeing the Japanese looking murderous intent, Huang Hu realized that this child was in danger.

I said it quickly, so I decisively raised the box cannon...

"Smack it..."

The shooting distance was less than twenty meters. When the gunshots, two blood holes were punched in the Japanese chest. His eyes quickly widen, and he fell to the ground with an incredible face.

The two Japanese in front reacted quickly. They turned around when they heard the gunshots. The rifle was also raised by them at the same time and they were about to shoot at the position where the gun had just been fired.

Huang Hu's reaction was faster, adjusting the shooting angle slightly, and continuing to pull the trigger.

The Japanese were about to shoot, and the bullets had already drilled two holes in their chests...

Huang Hu was not in the mood to appreciate the results of the battle, so he raised the box cannon again, turned his head and ordered the subordinates behind him.

"Everyone acted separately, swept the Japanese in the village by squad..."

The Japanese in the village were used to being cavalrymen, and suddenly they asked them to give up fighting horses and fight as infantry, and they were also fighting street battles that tested the most combat experience, so many people couldn't adapt.

Sixth Company took a lot of advantages and killed more than a dozen Japanese devils as soon as they came into contact.

The remaining cavalry realized something was wrong and quickly evacuated the village. Only by returning to their own war horses could they feel safe.

Of course Huang Hu didn't want them to do what they wanted: "The troops were all pressing on, drag the remaining Japanese first, and then kill them!"
