The order to retreat was simultaneously sent to the heavy machine gun squadron.
The Japs are deeply brainwashed by the spirit of the katana and are not afraid of death, but that does not mean they want to die.
If they can survive, even if there is only one chance in ten thousand, they will fight for it desperately.
"Rumble..."
More than a dozen artillery shells roared in again, and a heavy machine gun team was instantly submerged in the artillery fire. The powerful air waves overturned several Japanese gunners nearby...
Under the threat of death at close range, these artillerymen who received the order to retreat did not hesitate to raise their heavy machine guns, turned around and ran back. Each one of them seemed to have met the Lord of Hell, running very fast.
I was afraid that I would be one step slower than others and die in the next round of artillery fire.
"Rumble..."
A new round of shells rained down quickly, and another heavy machine gun team was covered by artillery fire...
The two machine gun teams were severely damaged at the same time. The strong air wave overturned half of the Japanese soldiers, and the heavy machine guns on their shoulders also fell to the ground along with the overturned machine gunners.
The machine gunner who was not knocked over by the explosion first looked at the heavy machine gun and his comrades on the ground, and then looked at each other. Without hesitation, he chose to drop the heavy machine gun and retreat to Shinozuka Yoshio...
On the blocking position, without the suppression of mortars and heavy machine guns, the combat pressure of the first battalion dropped sharply.
The 38 cap in Shen Quanping's hand has been replaced with a crooked handle, and he plans to seize this opportunity to kill a few more little devils.
"Da da da……"
The bullets in the magazine were quickly emptied by him. The assistant shooter had already sacrificed his life. Shen Quan could only load the bullets himself. As soon as a row of bullets was inserted, the Japanese and puppet troops who rushed fifty meters away began to turn around and retreat.
.
It didn't take much thinking to know that the main force's counterattack was working.
Without hesitation, he dropped the crooked weapon, pulled out the cannon, and while opening the safety, ordered: "Comrades, the main force of the regiment has begun to counterattack. The little devils are just having fun. Come out with me and beat the drowned dog... charge..."
Before the order was finished, Shen Quan rushed out of the position.
More than 200 people from the first battalion followed closely behind, charging and firing, hoping to take the opportunity to kill a few more Japanese and puppet troops.
At the Japanese artillery position, Zhang Dashan cut down three Japanese gunners in a row and then stopped. He raised his binoculars and looked around, looking for the next target to attack.
The mortar squadron and heavy machine gun squadron that were retreating frantically were caught by him at a glance.
They are not only a weapon against cavalry, but also a sharp weapon against infantry.
Once it merges with the main force, it can allow the Japanese army to advance, attack or retreat, which will definitely cause huge trouble for the main force of the regiment to completely annihilate the enemy.
Now they are retreating in a hurry. If the cavalry battalion suddenly kills them, they will never have time to prepare.
Doing what he thought of, Zhang Dashan put down the telescope decisively, raised his saber and began to give orders: "The first company will stay here to continue to destroy the Japanese artillery and occupy the artillery positions... The second and third companies will follow me..."
More than a hundred cavalrymen followed Zhang Dashan without hesitation and went straight to the next attack target...
The roaring sound of horse hooves quickly resounded on the battlefield. As soon as Ando Daizuo looked at the direction of the cavalry battalion's attack, his heart skipped a beat and he shouted anxiously.
"Bagya Road...our mortar squadron is in danger..."
"I will immediately dispatch a team to meet them!" the adjutant immediately answered.
Ando Daizuo was furious after hearing this.
This adjutant of mine is usually very calm, but why does he always come up with some bad ideas at critical moments?
He glared at him fiercely and said, "How about reinforcements? Do you think you have too many troops in your hands?"
"No matter how fast you run on two legs, you can't run as fast as a cavalry on four legs..."
"By the time you get through, the mortar squadron will have been decimated by the cavalry!"
"The key to dealing with the cavalry is the light and heavy machine guns. You don't even have a heavy machine gun in your hand. Even if you kill them in time, you will only kill the Eighth Route Army cavalry..."
"Let the mortar squadron stop retreating... fight to the death with the cavalry attacking them, every minute it takes is a minute!"
"As long as we join up with the heavy machine gun squadron and the attacking troops successfully withdraw...with the heavy machine guns assisting in the defense, I won't be afraid no matter how many cavalry the independent regiment comes to kill!"
Zhang Dashan rushed to the front of the team as usual.
I originally thought that the Japanese mortar squadron would escape without a fight, and the cavalry battalion could kill them by chasing them all the way, and then continue to attack other Japanese and puppet troops.
Unexpectedly, instead of running for their lives, they stopped in place and established a blocking position, hoping to confront him head-on...
"These little devils must be crazy. They don't even have a self-defense rifle, and they dare to go head-to-head with the cavalry. They are so ignorant..." Zhang Dashan said to himself.
At the same time, he raised his saber, preparing to let his opponents see the strength of the cavalry and make them regret their decision for the rest of their lives.
But soon he realized something was wrong...
The Japanese actually put their own mortars together and piled them into a roadblock in front of the cavalry battalion.
The gunners were squatting half-crouched behind the roadblock, some holding pistols, others holding cannonballs... obviously wanting to die with the cavalry battalion.
If they charge head-on, many cavalrymen will surely die.
He raised his eyebrows and suddenly reacted: "What a cunning little devil, I almost got fooled..."
"The Second Company continues to raid the Japanese mortar squadron...Don't rush over directly, first use horse rifles and submachine guns to kill the enemies from a distance, then outflank them from both wings and annihilate them all!"
"Third Company, follow me to attack the Japs' attacking troops..."
"They are not equipped with heavy machine guns and are retreating. There is a battalion chasing them behind them. Their morale is low..."
"We can definitely kill them if we rush over now..."
Ando Daizuo's attention has always been on the cavalry.
Their surprise attack ability is too strong and overwhelming. No matter which unit they rush to kill, it will bring a devastating blow.
Seeing the mortar squadron using artillery as cover and artillery shells as weapons, preparing to die together with the cavalry battalion, I immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity for me to hold back the cavalry battalion.
Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, the cavalry rushing towards the mortar squadron split into two...
Half of the cavalry went straight to the retreating attacking force, and half of the cavalry continued to attack the mortar squadron.
But they did not launch a direct attack on the mortar squadron. Instead, they circled around the mortar squadron and used horse rifles and submachine guns to kill their gunners from a long distance!
The gunners who used mortar shells as weapons were powerless to fight back. They fell to the ground one after another like cutting leeks...
Ando Daizuo’s dream was shattered.
The mortar squadron not only failed to hold back the cavalry, but instead became a target for the cavalry and trapped the attacking troops.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have let the mortar squadron go on the defensive just now.
Maybe the cavalry troops would attack the mortar squadron directly.
Wait until the two armies are strangled together, then use cannonballs as weapons, and die together with the cavalry. Maybe there is still a chance to hold back the cavalry battalion.
At the very least, he could kill some cavalry before he died and bury him with him.
It's not like being a target for the cavalry like now and dying in vain.
There is no regret medicine in the world. If you do it, you do it. No matter how unwilling you are, you will never go back.
After seeing another cavalry troop heading straight for the attacking troops, and the two troops were about to collide, Ando Daizuo closed his eyes in pain, not wanting to see his men being massacred by the cavalry.
"Captain...the attacking troops can't withdraw! We may be targeted by the cavalry at any time, and we must leave here immediately!" After being scolded by Ando Daizuo, the adjutant regained a lot of rationality, and when he glanced at the surrounding situation, he looked anxious.
road.
Seeing the pain on Ando Zuo's face, the adjutant didn't care whether he overstepped or not. He ordered the guard captain beside him: "Why are you still standing there? Protect the captain and leave here immediately..."
"Assault in the direction of the main force, leave now, hurry up!"
More than two hundred Japanese and puppet troops immediately escorted Ando Daizuo in the middle of the team, with an infantry squad in the lead and another infantry squad in the rear, and quickly rushed towards the main force.
In front of the enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie has been guarding the observation port to observe the enemy's situation.
Seeing more than two hundred Japanese and puppet troops retreating backwards, forming several circles in the middle of the team, obviously protecting important people, the corners of their mouths immediately raised, and they snorted coldly!
"Now I know it's too late to find the main force to join up!"
"Captain, the leader of the Japanese and puppet troops must be among those Japanese and puppet troops... Do you want to contact the artillery battalion to watch them and bomb them, and try to eliminate the Japanese commander in the offensive position!" Li Wensheng also saw that this group of Japanese and puppet troops was unusual.
, proposed with eyes shining.
"No need!" Kong Jie shook his head with a smile, because his eyes had already shifted to another troop on the battlefield.
"The assault battalion is up!" Li Wensheng followed Kong Jie's gaze and said excitedly.
"I asked Huang Yu to follow the cavalry battalion to occupy the Japanese artillery positions and expand the results... They are not as fast as the cavalry and they just entered the battlefield!" Kong Jie explained.
"I didn't expect Huang Yu to be so lucky that he would hit a big fish like the captain of the Japanese team!"
"With him in the offensive position, the Japanese commander will not be able to escape even if there are twice as many guards around him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the observation post's exclamation sounded in his ears: "Commander, the cavalry battalion is fighting with the Japanese offensive troops!"
"They are so awesome..."
"A single attack wiped them out..."
"The little devil's attack force is finished!"
"Report to the leader... With the cooperation of the third company of the assault battalion and the artillery platoon, we successfully eliminated the rear troops of the Japanese and puppet troops, including a company of puppet troops, a squadron of Japanese soldiers, and a squadron of Japanese heavy troops, a total of more than 400 people.
!" The correspondent of the Sixth Battalion ran over to report with a happy face.
Kong Jie was so excited that he couldn't help but waved his fist, stared at the correspondent and asked anxiously: "Are the casualties in your battalion heavy?"
"Due to the extensive use of mortars and thunder cannons, the total casualties did not exceed two hundred people!" the correspondent quickly reported.
"Good fight!" The smile on Kong Jie's face grew wider and he ordered immediately.
"Go back immediately and tell your battalion commander!"
"The lightly and seriously wounded are left to clean the battlefield...Other troops immediately assemble, bring all the heavy weapons, immediately reinforce the fifth battalion, and concentrate the superior forces to eliminate the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops that we have divided little by little, faster!"
"The troops must launch an attack before the Japanese planes come over, fight with the Japanese in a melee, and let the planes use rat weapons to prevent them from rashly bombing us!"
