Eight hundred and fiftieth eight chapters blocking
The bullets cut off the dead grass and branches and flew away, and the big clouds of soil also rose up. The cannons roared, the gunfire was intensive, and the smoke also filled the air.
The Miyasaka squadron was arrogant. After a probing fire attack, and bombarded by high-explosive shells from the infantry cannon, the Japs from the two infantry squads began a frontal charge.
About thirty or so Japanese cavalrymen left the road and went into the fields beside the road, trying to outflank Wang Beard's guerrilla battalion that was resisting along the road.
Wang Huzi can be considered a veteran who has fought many battles. He has rich combat experience. Facing the fierce Japanese offensive, he did not panic at all.
The so-called soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil, and led the sharp knife company from the front to hit the Japanese with knives, and let the machine gun battery support them. Although the Japanese came in a skirmish line, they did not get any favors.
The whistling high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs kept coming towards the Japanese. The powerful firepower of the guerrilla camp surprised the Japanese squadron leader Miyasaka.
The incendiary bombs ignited the weeds up to their knees, with thick smoke billowing and flames flying wildly. Charged under the scorching heat of the flames and smoke, the Japanese choked and coughed, but they rushed forward across the burning area with undiminished ferocity.
.
The high-explosive bombs flying in an arc from behind the blocking position continued to rumble onto the Japs' offensive line. When they exploded into a cloud of blood mist, the Japs flew up lightly, and then fell to the ground like stones.
Gunshots were also heard from the reed swamp on the flank. It was the exchange of fire between the officers and soldiers of the Second Guerrilla Company and the Japanese cavalry who were trying to outflank the enemy.
The Japanese cavalry team was temporarily transferred to Miyasaka Squadron by Captain Yamaguchi in order to strengthen their strength.
In flat terrain, the impact of the cavalry is very terrifying, but in this bumpy water network area, the Japanese cavalry is a living target.
"Aim and hit me!"
The second guerrilla company commander's face flushed with excitement. As he spoke, bullets shot out of the gun's muzzle. A Japanese cavalryman who was trying to charge over fell off his horse. The horse turned around and ran away while neighing.
There are also brothers who are very skilled in marksmanship. They fired several shots at the cavalry that was moving at high speed but all missed. They were so angry that they just started aiming at the horses.
The bullets exploded the horse's head, sending red and white bullets flying all over the sky. The Japs on the horse fell heavily, and immediately broke their legs. They screamed pitifully like they were killing pigs.
When the Japanese cavalrymen behind saw someone falling from their horses in front, their faces were livid, and they screamed, raised their sharp sabers in the air, and charged forward.
More than thirty Japanese cavalrymen were shot and killed before they could reach the second guerrilla battalion. However, this also aroused the viciousness of the Japanese.
"ah!"
The sharp saber slashed diagonally and vertically with strong impact. The guerrilla officers and soldiers in the front row who were squatting and firing were split open by the saber before they had time to dodge. The saber brought a shower of blood.
The officers and soldiers in the back row were relieved when they saw that most of the cavalry were wiped out by them, but when they saw that the whole body of the brothers in the front row was split open, their faces turned pale with fear.
The officers and soldiers of the guerrillas underestimated the close combat capabilities of the cavalry. Driven by the high-speed impact of the horses, the sharp sabers could easily split a person in half.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing that only a dozen or so remaining cavalrymen had overwhelmed a platoon of brothers, the second company commander couldn't relax and started shooting while shouting.
But his warning was already too late. The Japanese cavalry waved their bloody sabers and continued to charge forward unabated.
The brothers in the second row wanted to turn around and run, but they were quickly knocked away by the galloping horses. The sword flashed and there was a click, and many heads fell off.
Yang Ling led the third guerrilla detachment in repeated battles with the Japs in Qinghe Town, almost all of which ended in victory. The guerrilla brothers also became impetuous and proud.
They thought that the remaining dozen cavalrymen could be killed in an instant, but who knew it would cause them so many casualties.
"Machine gun! Machine gun! Shoot them out!"
Seeing his brothers being knocked away one by one and chopped to the ground, the second company commander's eyes immediately turned red, he mounted his bayonet with a click and rushed forward.
The remaining dozen or so cavalrymen had ferocious faces. The blood of the guerrilla officers and soldiers was splashed on their bodies and horses, and there was a strong smell of blood.
They penetrated the temporary position of the Second Guerrilla Company and only lost three people. However, this charge caused at least twenty casualties to the guerrilla officers and soldiers.
After the Japanese cavalry rushed out for about a hundred meters, they reined in their horses and turned back. They once again raised the bloody sabers in their hands, preparing to penetrate again.
"Da da da da..."
Now the machine gunners of the Second Guerrilla Company also reacted, and several light machine guns sprayed out tongues of flame one after another, killing people regardless of whether they were humans or horses.
The Japanese cavalry, which was waving their sabers and screaming strangely, was not so lucky this time. Before they could even charge fifty meters, both men and horses were beaten into pieces.
"kill--"
The angry second company commander rushed forward with his gleaming bayonet, stabbing the Japanese who fell from his horse and fell to the ground.
The faces of the guerrilla brothers of the second company were also filled with anger. Their bayonets were thrust in continuously, and blood flew out. All the Japanese cavalrymen turned into gourds of blood, and almost no human form could be seen.
Although more than thirty Japanese cavalrymen were eventually wiped out, nearly twenty brothers of the second company were killed in just one cup of tea, and five others were seriously injured.
When the brothers of the Second Company gathered back their fallen brothers with grief-stricken faces, the sharp knife company that was marching against the Japanese along the road in front could no longer hold on any longer.
Although they were supported by the machine gun company, the guys in the machine gun company were all half-baked, and their speed and accuracy were incomparable to those of the little devils.
As soon as the brothers of the machine gun company fired two rounds at the Japs, the Japs' artillerymen directly hit the shells, and five brothers were blown away on the spot.
The machine gun company was so frightened that it hurriedly moved away and lost the support of the machine gun company. Although the combat effectiveness of the sharp knife company was relatively strong among the guerrilla detachments, it could not withstand the successive charges of the Japanese infantry squad.
The battle between the two sides lasted less than twenty minutes, and the sharp knife company lost almost a platoon of troops, and the defense line began to loosen.
"Withdraw! Get behind!"
Seeing that the Japanese were approaching, Wang Beard threw the grenade and then turned around and retreated to the second blocking position in depth.
There was a rumbling explosion of grenades, and the little Japanese who were bombed fell on their backs. Wang Huzi and the others ran all the way to the second-line position behind.
"beat!"
The little Japs wanted to overwhelm Wang Huzi and the others in one go, but Blacksmith, the deputy battalion commander, had already led his men to treat them seriously. With an order, guns and cannons fired, and the Japs were temporarily suppressed.
While Wang Huzi and the others were blocking the Japs on the highway towards Qinghe Town, buying time for evacuation and transfer in the direction of Qinghe Town, Yang Ling and Wu Changqing's Second Battalion were speeding up for reinforcements.
