Xu Hailang smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, every move of the Japs is under the watchful eye of the brothers in the reconnaissance company. Their conspiracy will not succeed so easily."

"Since these devils want to surround the place for reinforcements, let's play with them."

"This is a good opportunity to practice marksmanship. It's hard to find a ready-made target!"

After saying this, Xu Hailang's eyes suddenly burst out with light, and he ordered: "Send my order, all brothers should aim and hit again!"

"Machine gunners and grenadiers provide fire cover. If the Japanese dare to fight back, they will kill you!"

"Keep the rhythm, as long as you can hold on for an hour, don't save ammunition!"

"yes!"

The platoon leader agreed, and then took a few messengers to convey Xu Hailang's order to all parts of the position.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the first company immediately adjusted their strategies and began to shoot accurately at the Japanese at the foot of the mountain.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah -"

Gunshots rang out. Although the distance was more than 200 meters, the little devils were hiding behind bunkers, often with only half of their heads exposed.

However, after a long period of live ammunition training, the soldiers of the first company have greatly improved their marksmanship. Coupled with the strength of the people, they hit about 10 Japanese in one attack.

Almost all of the injured were shot in the head, and their deaths were painless.

Of course, the little devil's marksmanship is not bad, so they will not sit still and wait to be killed.

Unfortunately, as soon as these little devils were about to raise their guns to fight back, a dense rain of bullets would pour down, suppressing them until they could not lift their heads.

This is not bad, some Japanese who want to fight back, especially the machine gunners, are not only suppressed by a company of machine gun fire, but also a grenade flying from time to time.

"Bagaya Road! Damn it, why do these damn Tubal Roads have such good equipment?"

"Didn't it mean that their supplies are very scarce, and some troops even have several people sharing one gun?"

"Which bastard provided this information? It's really disgusting!"

The Japs who were beaten so hard that they could not hold their heads up began to curse angrily, and greeted all the eighteen generations of the Japs from the intelligence department.

A few minutes later, due to the heavy casualties, Yamazaki Jihei had to issue an order to retreat 100 meters back.

However, this old devil's target was not just the First Company of the Independent Battalion that was besieged on the mountain ridge, but the entire Independent Battalion, and even the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so he did not take these casualties seriously.

…

On the other side, the 3rd and 4th Squadrons of the Yamazaki Battalion had already set up an ambush on the way to the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army.

Hikawa Okasaka is the captain of the 3rd Squadron. At this time, he is standing on the top of a slope, holding a telescope to observe the situation ahead.

Not long after, a surprise troop appeared in his telescope field of vision.

There are more than 100 people in this cavalry unit, and they are rushing towards the position where he has set up an ambush. The hoofs of the war horses trample heavily on the ground, splashing dust all over the ground. From a distance, it looks like a long

Huanglong.

"Yo Xi! The horses ridden by this Chinese cavalry must be the ones lost by the Wanjia Emperor's Alliance Army, right?"

"Order all squads to prepare for battle immediately. The first squad is responsible for setting up trip wires on the road!"

"Be sure to eliminate all these Chinese cavalry without harming these horses!"

Hikawa Okasaka grinned, and his eyes revealed a cold killing intent like a wild wolf.

They had already guessed from the weapons and equipment that the troops trapped on the mountain ridge were the troops of the independent battalion. Therefore, it was not difficult to guess the identity of this cavalry.

"Hiyi!"

The Japanese messenger immediately nodded in agreement, then turned and left to convey the order.

Hikawa Okasaka continued to raise his telescope, he wanted to see with his own eyes the group of prey entering the trap he had carefully set.

The old devil's guess was good. The first to arrive for reinforcements was the Independent Battalion's cavalry company, which had war horses for transportation.

The cavalry company moved very quickly, and soon their figures were blocked by a hill.

Hikawa Okasaka immediately put down the telescope. He didn't think much about it. Anyway, there was only one road leading to Dongyang Village from this direction.

Unless this team sacrifices the distance for the sake of distance, in that case, it will have to walk at least 5 kilometers more, which is obviously impossible for the other party to do.

But soon, Hikawa Okasaka's brows suddenly knitted together.

Because the cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army did not come out for more than a minute after entering the back of the hill, as if it had been swallowed up by the hill.

Abnormal, so abnormal!

Soon, a Japanese scout ran over and reported to Hikawa Okazaka: "Report to the squadron leader that the cavalry suddenly stopped two kilometers away from us!"

"Nani?"

Hikawa Okasaka looked confused: "Isn't it possible that these Eighth Route Army troops don't reinforce the besieged friendly forces? Or are they seeing through the captain's battle plan?"

A Japanese squad leader said: "Squadron leader, what should we do now?"

Hikawa Okasaka pondered for a moment and said: "Let's wait and see. In addition, report the matter to the captain immediately!"

"Hiyi!"

The leader of the Japanese team paused heavily, then arranged for a signal soldier to quickly rush towards Dongyang Village.

On the other side, the Second Company of the Independent Battalion, which arrived later, also stopped two kilometers away from the ambush circle of the 4th Squadron of Yamazaki Battalion.

Of course, it was not that they did not reinforce the besieged company, but they learned about the Japanese's combat plan through the scouts of the reconnaissance company, so naturally they could not continue to move forward and enter the Japanese ambush circle.

Dongyang Village.

Yamazaki Jihei quickly received the news from the 3rd and 4th Squadrons from the front, and couldn't help frowning: "It seems that this independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army is indeed much more difficult to deal with than I thought."

Kobayashi Jiro on the side said: "Captain, what should we do now?"

Yamazaki Jihei: "Don't those Tobali think that the friendly forces on the mountain are not in crisis yet, so they are not anxious?"

"Then let's put the Eighth Route Army on the mountain into crisis and see if they are in a hurry!"

"Pass my order and the artillery squadron will immediately launch a bombardment on the Chinese Army on the mountain!"

"After the bombardment is over, the 1st and 2nd Squadrons will launch an attack immediately!"

"Hiyi!"

Kobayashi Jiro paused heavily, then turned around and conveyed Yamazaki Jihei's order.

The artillery squadron of the Yamazaki Battalion is a reinforced squadron. Although it does not carry heavy firepower weapons such as the Type 92 infantry gun, it does carry eight 60mm caliber mortars.

Once the fire was fired at this time, the hill where the first company was hiding immediately exploded into flames and smoke.

All kinds of gravel and soil were thrown everywhere along with the explosion shock wave.
