"Sir, the National Salvation Army that defends the last line of defense has at least two battalions of troops!" Colonel Ishida had just arrived at the position and followed the attacking troops ten minutes earlier, the captain of the second brigade who arrived here in a hurry to report and asked the captain for a fight.

"If the chief can provide enough artillery fire support, the emperor will be confident that he will take down the last line of defense of the National Salvation Army before dark!"

Colonel Ishida did not respond, quickly raised his telescope and looked at the last line of defense of the National Salvation Army.

The captain of the second brigade thought Colonel Ishida didn't believe his report just now and continued: "Sir, I can see clearly just now that the National Salvation Army standing in front of us is indeed more than two battalions. If you don't attack, it will be dark. Please think twice!"

Colonel Ishida still didn't answer the conversation, but put down the telescope and turned to look at the chief of staff on the other side: "Where did the Third Brigade go? Why haven't it been encircled yet?"

"It has been almost three hours since they set out. They can walk 10 or 20 kilometers in a hurry. Even if they go around, they should be in place. But I did not find them behind the National Salvation Army's defense line."

"Contact them on the radio immediately and ask how long it will take for them to encircle them!"

After giving the order, he turned his attention to the captain of the second brigade: "Not only you, I also want to launch an attack immediately and end the battle before dark, but we can't attack even if we want to attack before the encirclement troops are in place!"

"In order to defend and pacify, as long as we have a line of defense in front of us, the National Salvation Army will continue to defend. But if we take down the blocking position in front through strong attacks, the remaining National Salvation Army on the Zhujiazhuang battlefield will definitely raid us with firepower, then quickly evacuate the position and preserve its strength, just like the troops on the previous few defense lines."

"The encirclement troops have not been in place yet. If they really want to retreat, none of us can stop them. It will definitely increase exponentially during the future sweep."

"In order to eliminate the remnants of the National Rescue Army here and prevent them from running away, we will create the best conditions for the next major sweep. We must wait until all the encirclement troops are in place before launching an attack, so that we can capture all the National Rescue Army stationed here!"

"Wait a minute, as soon as the encirclement troops appear behind the National Savior Army, we will start attacking. It is best to solve the battle before dark. If it cannot be solved, we will surround the remaining National Savior Army in Zhujiazhuang here and wait until tomorrow to attack them."

Three minutes after giving the order, Colonel Ishida had not found the encirclement troops.

Five minutes passed, and the communications officer who went to the back to send the telegram had not come back yet.

Looking at the darker and darker surroundings, Colonel Ishida realized that ending the battle today has become an impossible luxury. He had to settle for the second best and strive to encircle the national rescue army before dark and surround them here.

He did it right away, Colonel Ishida raised his telescope again and made a plan to block the body in his mind.

A minute later, his face became solemn again.

He suddenly discovered that whether it was encirclement or attack, the surrounding troops played a role in cutting off the retreat of the national army.

If the encirclement troops are not in place, no matter how capable you are, you will not be able to attack or encircle the national rescue army in front of you. So these two ideas are around and finally all around the encirclement troops.

So Colonel Ishida thought about the encirclement troops and frowned and analyzed the reasons why they had not encircled them.

Suddenly, a scream of "Woooooo..." suddenly reached Colonel Ishida's ears. He was worried about the encirclement of the troops and immediately widened his eyes and shouted angrily: "Bageyalu, who made the artillery troops fire? Did they all regard my order just now as wind in their ears? Without my order, no one can attack the last line of defense of the National Salvation Army!"

"Let the artillery troops stop immediately, otherwise military law will be carried out!"

The artillery staff's eyes instantly widened, showing a stunned and shocked expression, and shouted: "Sir, the shells were not shot from our artillery positions!"

"Woooooooooooo... rumble..." Before he could finish his words, a violent explosion rang in their ears.

The artillery staff continued to remind: "This is the artillery shell fired by the National Salvation Army artillery troops. Not only mortars, but also a large number of mountain artillery and large-caliber heavy artillery. We were targeted by the National Salvation Army artillery troops!"

"Protect the Chief immediately and leave here, faster... Rumble..."

Compared with mountain artillery and heavy artillery with slower firing rates, mortars have much faster firing rates.

The artillery staff's reminder was interrupted by the second round of explosion as soon as the exit was exited, and two mortar shells were hit nearby.

Several guards rushed towards Colonel Ishida like conditioned reflexes, and while knocking him to the ground, they used their bodies to block the shells flying around to protect the safety of the captain of the United Nations.

Although Colonel Ishida was thrown into a dog and was very embarrassed, he saved his life.

The guards around were not so lucky. The two Japanese were blown up on the spot, and almost half of their bodies were blown away, looking very bloody...

"Boom..." Before the guards protecting Colonel Ishida had time to get up from the ground, a series of more violent explosions quickly rang around. These were twenty or thirty mountain artillery and heavy artillery shells exploded on the position.

Because there are too many shells, a mountain cannon shell hits the vicinity of Colonel Ishida again...

The guard captain quickly saw the dangerous situation he was facing, frowned, and shouted with concern: "Bageya Road, the artillery fire of the National Salvation Army is too fierce, and now there is no difference between transfer and death. The captain of the protection brigade hides on the spot and waits for the artillery fire to weaken before leaving here!"

Colonel Ishida also reacted from the confusion at this moment. He did not refute the orders of the guard captain, but stared at the chief of staff and added two orders with a murderous look on his face: "Notify our artillery to fire a counterattack immediately, and you must seize this opportunity to kill the artillery unit of the National Savior Army!"

"The remaining troops on the offensive position immediately approached here! The National Salvation Army suddenly assembled so many artillery to attack us, and it must be more than just one artillery attack. I suspect that they intend to take the opportunity to launch a counterattack on us and regain the blocking position we occupied in the afternoon..."

The moment the battlefield was covered with the sound of artillery, three main battalions rushed out of their hiding points, divided into three commandos in units of the battalion company, and attacked the Japanese artillery positions directly.

The nearest commando is only more than 500 meters away from the artillery position, and the farthest commando is only more than 900 meters.

As soon as they appeared, they were discovered by the Japanese guards guarding near the artillery positions.

"The enemy attacks, the National Salvation Army attacks our artillery units. Concentrate the firepower to stop them... Dongdongdongdong... Dadada..." The Japanese squadron leader issued an order while warning, and the light and heavy machine guns placed around the position immediately opened fire...

The three main battalions joined the battle with the light and heavy machine guns and mortars attacking the team.

The Japanese army protected the artillery troops only had two reinforcement squadrons, equipped with six heavy machine guns and less than twenty light machine guns.

The three main battalions of the National Salvation Army were equipped with a total of 12 heavy machine guns and more than fifty light machine guns. They absolutely crushed the two infantry squadrons that protected the artillery positions in terms of firepower.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Japanese blocking troops were suppressed and could not raise their heads to fight back. The three main battalions took the opportunity to advance.

The two Japanese squadron leaders hid behind the bunker. Looking at the National Savior Army that was rushing closer and closer in front of them, the two of them were in a hurry. One of the squadron leaders was very anxious to order: "The enemy's firepower to attack us is too strong, with at least two thousand troops. With the strength of our two infantry squadrons, we couldn't hold on for five minutes. The corps captain was at least two kilometers away from us, and there would definitely be no troops to arrive at the artillery position to support us within five minutes."

"We must immediately dispatch troops from other directions to help here!"

Another squadron leader immediately responded: "The artillery position has not been attacked by the National Salvation Army in other directions, so we must be their main attack direction!"

"There are still half a baggage team's strength in those two directions. If all reinforcements are provided here, we can block the National Savior Army for at least twenty minutes!"

The squadron leader who had just spoken immediately agreed: "I agree that as long as we can block the National Salvation Army for twenty minutes, we can wait for the reinforcements sent by the corps captain to defeat the enemy and defend the artillery troops!"

"I'll go and dispatch troops now!"

What made the two squadron captains desperate was that the reinforcements and corps captain Colonel Ishida were already unable to take care of themselves.

Because the fifth blocking position was covered with artillery fire, the smoke filled them completely enveloped them. Not only could the image of the artillery position being attacked, but even the sound of gunfire being attacked was suppressed by the violent explosion in his ears!

It was not until the guards behind the position sent someone to report that Colonel Ishida realized that he felt the safest artillery unit was attacked.

But at that time he was too busy to take care of himself, and the entire army was suppressed by the artillery fire of the National Salvation Army on the fifth line of defense and could not be transferred. Faced with the artillery position that was in crisis, he had no other way to break the situation except to worry.

Only when the National Rescue Army's artillery attack on its own weakened will it have the opportunity to evacuate the battlefield and return to the aid artillery position.

Colonel Ishida hid in a shell crater and prayed that the National Salvation Army would stop the artillery attack soon, the remaining half of the Japanese in the artillery position, all the Japanese in the southeast directions of the three main battalions attacked, and the Japanese in the northwest directions were left with less than 100 people, each equipped with two crooked sluts.

"Boom..." The dull sound of horse hooves slowly spread from far to near to the Japanese artillery positions.

The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and soon turned into a thunderous roar. The ground where the artillery position was located seemed to begin to tremble, and then the cavalry of three companies appeared in the Japanese's vision.

Some people were holding sabers, some were holding guns... and rode their horses toward the artillery position, at a very fast speed.

The hundreds of Japanese prisoners who remained in the northwest direction were frightened.

They only had a temporary defense line made of sandbags, equipped with two light machine guns, and could not even stop a platoon of cavalry. The cavalry that emerged in front of them had three companies, and they could not stop it no matter how capable they were.

But they had no choice but to retreat, and there was an artillery position behind them. If this cavalry rushed in, the gunners inside would definitely be devastating.

Even if they are guarding here, they must stick to the end.

"Shoot, everyone shoots and defends the position to the death!" Li shouted.

"Sir, our firepower is too weak. We must ask for help from troops in other directions and transfer two heavy machine guns to come, otherwise we will all die in battle and will not be able to stop the cavalry in front!" A Cao Chang shouted with a look of despair.

A trace of despair flashed across the captain's face, and he shook his head and replied: "It's too late!"

"The cavalry's assault speed is too fast, so it will definitely not be too late to mobilize troops now!"

"I can only fight with the cavalry in front of me to see if I can slow down their assault speed and reduce casualties in the cavalry!"

"Boom...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang..."

Amid the dull sound of horse hooves, the sound of shooting of horse rifles and submachine guns continued to sound, and people were constantly killed in the cavalry battalion and the Japanese baggage team.

After losing nearly one cavalry platoon, more than 200 cavalrymen finally rushed to the baggage team.

"kill……"

The high-speed horse rushed through the intercepting position of the baggage team with one leap. The cavalry slashed down the sabers in their hands. A Japanese man who was about to stab the war horse with a bayonet was instantly hit. Blood fountains came out of the wound, his eyes instantly widened, and he fell to the ground with a pair of expressions of death.

Around Tao Yongsheng, countless cavalry repeated the same movements at this moment. In less than five seconds, all three cavalry companies crossed the Japanese intercepting positions. None of the more than a hundred Japanese guards guarding here were spared, either killed by horse rifles and submachine guns, or killed by sabers, and some even more unlucky Japanese soldiers were trampled to death by war horses...

"Comrades, kill with me..." Cavalry battalion commander Tao Yongsheng rushed to the front with one horse.

Waving the bloody sabre, like chopping melons and vegetables, killing all the Japanese who met along the way.

Compared with the baggage soldiers blocking outside the artillery position, the gunners in the artillery position are easier to deal with.

Many gunners did not even have self-defense rifles. Facing the cavalry rushing towards them, they were unarmed and had no other means of resistance except waiting to die.

So, wherever the cavalry camp went, the Japanese artillery soldiers were like fat sheep slaughtered, and were slaughtered completely.

The artillery position is very large, but the cavalry's assault speed is several times that of infantry.

In less than two minutes, Tao Yongsheng, who was in the lead, came out of the artillery position, and there were no less than five Japanese soldiers who died in his hands along the way.

"The cavalry battalion continues to kill with me. The Japanese cavalry brigade is coming. Everyone rushed over with me, carrying the Japanese cavalry brigade head-on, dragging them, and buying time for the infantry to take down the artillery positions!" Tao Yongsheng did not relax his vigilance, and raised the sabre that was still dripping blood. He pointed at the direction of the Japanese cavalry brigade and shouted a loud command.

The moment he spoke, the war horse under his crotch rushed towards the Japanese cavalry brigade, and the speed became faster and faster.
