The squadron leader also reacted and immediately shouted: "Shoot, don't save the wounded, fight back immediately and block them, otherwise all of us will be killed by the cavalry here, leaving no body intact!"
From a distance of 100 meters, the cavalry can rush over in the blink of an eye!
After the squadron leader gave the order, as soon as he held the pistol in his hand, the cavalry was already killing him!
The other Japs in the vanguard were even worse. They were scattered on the battlefield and had no time to concentrate!
Many people had just picked up their rifles, but before they had time to load the bullets, the gleaming sabers were already coming towards them!
"kill……"
Zhou Wu took the lead and rushed to the front. The moment he yelled loudly from his mouth, he raised his knife and dropped it. The Japanese squadron leader in front of him was beheaded directly. He fell straight to the ground, his round head rolled to the side, and his eyes stared.
It’s so great that I won’t die with my eyes in peace!
There were more than a hundred cavalrymen in the cavalry battalion, and none of them were assigned to the enemy, so they killed one of them in the middle of the enemy's forward troops!
Then he didn't look back, and continued to attack forward, killing the main Japanese army that had been covered by artillery fire!
"Cavalry, there are Eighth Route Army cavalry coming! Shoot with machine guns, stop them!" shouted a squadron leader of the main force!
Seeing the cavalry charging closer and closer, he didn't care about his identity as a squadron leader. He saw a crooked stick fell not far away, and two soldiers fell next to it, with blood oozing from the corners of their mouths. They were already dead! He just rushed towards it!
The machine gun was placed on the ground, the butt of the gun was raised to the shoulder, and it fired at the cavalry that was charging over!
"Everyone, focus on me! Concentrate your firepower to block them. We must not let them rush over, otherwise we will all be killed!" the squadron leader shouted while holding the fire!
The little devils scattered around immediately gathered towards the squadron leader!
But no matter how fast they are, they can't be faster than the cavalry!
The moment several cavalry soldiers were killed by Japanese machine guns, the other cavalry did not stop, but rushed towards them as always, faster and faster!
"kill……"
The squadron leader had just gathered around twenty of his subordinates, and a cavalryman had already bumped into him!
One of the Japanese was knocked away on the spot, and the other was also hacked to death with a saber!
Before the Japanese could react from the shock, the cavalry had already rushed behind them and cut them in two!
"Cavalry battalion, continue the assault and kill all the little Japs we see!" Zhou Wu followed closely and rushed into the Japs group, waving his saber and slashing people while shouting!
More than 20 Japanese soldiers were killed by the cavalry who quickly charged over without even holding on for ten seconds!
The Japs scattered around are even worse!
Fighting alone is no match for the cavalry!
Some people hold up rifles with bayonets and want to die with the oncoming cavalry!
But the cavalry didn't give him this chance at all!
Riding on a war horse, he was condescending! The huge inertia brought by the cavalry assault made it easy for him to fend off the Japanese saber that was stabbing him!
Then the saber quickly flipped over, with the blade facing backwards. With a strong swing, the sharp blade opened a long gash on his shoulder, extending to his neck!
It wasn't until he sheathed the knife that blood gushed out from the edge of the knife like a fountain!
Under the protection of the guards, the brigade commander moved to a position almost 100 meters away from the road before stopping!
The Japanese are not fools. They can figure out the artillery battalion's artillery shelling pattern after a few rounds of shells!
Although the artillery fire from the artillery camp was very fierce, it was all concentrated on the highway!
As long as the troops leave the road, no matter how fierce the shelling is, they will not threaten the safety of the troops!
Seeing more and more of his subordinates withdrawing from the highway, and the casualties of the troops in the shelling becoming smaller and smaller, the brigade commander's tense nerves finally relaxed!
But before he could be happy, the news brought by his subordinates made him serious again!
"General, there are cavalry attacking us. The troops in front suffered heavy casualties!" His subordinates rushed over panting and reported with a look of horror!
"The cavalry followed the impact point of their shelling. They rushed up as soon as the shelling ended. Before the soldiers could react to the shelling, or even had time to concentrate, the cavalry came over..."
"It's so tragic. Many warriors were killed by the attacking cavalry without even picking up their weapons!"
"What a cunning Eighth Route Army!" the brigade commander scolded with a stern face!
"The artillery and cavalry cooperated with each other to attack us. This tactic is amazing!"
"The artillery exploded in front, disrupting our formation and making it impossible to concentrate. Then the cavalry came over and took advantage of the chaos of the troops. If they couldn't effectively block it, they caught us off guard... Bagh Ya Road!"
A captain immediately asked: "General, what should we do? The artillery shells fired by the Eighth Route Army are about to reach us, so their cavalry must be about to attack too!"
The brigade commander forced himself to calm down, raised his brows, and began to issue orders: "As long as the troops are not in chaos or scattered, the cavalry behind the artillery will not be able to do anything to us, and they may even be hit hard by us!"
"But if the troops are not dispersed, the casualties caused by the shelling will definitely be very heavy!" the captain reminded!
"Then don't let the shells they fired find us!" the brigade leader replied decisively!
Having said this, a touch of confidence slowly flashed across the serious face of the brigade leader!
He continued to order: "The Eighth Route Army artillery position is at least two kilometers away from us, and it is dark. The artillery bombardment must have been set in advance. The artillery will be fired when we get here!"
"As long as we leave their shelling area, it will definitely be difficult for them to temporarily adjust their shooting targets and continue shelling us!"
"And since this place is so far away from the artillery position, it's not easy for them to lock on to us and determine new artillery targets!"
"Order, the troops should be dispersed immediately in squadron units, and get off the road as far away as possible. It's best to go into the woods!"
"All troops put out their torches. Without torches to guide the Eighth Route Army artillery in the direction of bombardment, they will be blind and unable to bomb us!"
"The troops are divided into squadrons. Even if they are attacked by the Eighth Route Army cavalry, the light and heavy firepower of an infantry squadron is enough to stop them, and it can also kill them in large numbers!"
On the high ground two kilometers away, Li Hao held up a telescope, his face slowly changed from happy to serious at first, and then from serious to solemn again!
The artillery battalion commander Yuan Qingfeng also frowned and immediately analyzed: "Commander, judging from the distribution of torches on the battlefield, the Japanese seem to have left the road. Our artillery shells are all hitting near the road, and the results are getting smaller and smaller.
And it won’t disrupt the enemy’s formation!”
Li Hao reacted quickly and made an immediate decision: "The artillery will conduct extended artillery fire immediately!"
"Open all the artillery, fire freely, and shoot out the most shells in the shortest time. Use the last bit of time to kill one more little devil if you can!"
"Yes, leader!" Yuan Qingfeng replied immediately!
Li Hao continued to order: "The commando team takes action now!"
"The Japanese commander is more powerful than I thought. He ordered the troops to leave the road so quickly, so that the results of the artillery and cavalry would not be too great!"
"But the dispersion of the Japs has also provided us with an excellent opportunity to fight guerrillas!"
"Xiao Yuan, take your men and kill them there, and ask every member of the commando team to kill ten little Japs before you come back!"
"The guards have their flare guns ready and are ready to give the cavalry battalion and guard company the retreat signal at any time!"
After waiting for less than five minutes, all the torches everywhere on the battlefield disappeared!
Without the guidance of torches, the artillery battalion would have no target for free fire!
Li Hao's expression suddenly changed and he ordered decisively: "The chance of attacking the little devil is gone!"
"Send a signal to the cavalry battalion immediately to retreat and end the battle!"
"Stop the artillery bombardment and move immediately. We won't fight this battle!"
The leader of the Japanese Major General Brigade felt like he was on a roller coaster today, with ups and downs!
The twenty-four artillery pieces of the artillery battalion suddenly began to fire freely. Faced with the unpredictable shells, the brigade commander did not dare to guarantee his absolute safety!
Fortunately, this bombardment only lasted five minutes and ended!
"General, the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire has stopped!"
"General, their cavalry has also retreated, the battle is over!"
"Da da da……"
Before the brigade commander could be happy, the sound of machine gun fire reached his ears!
The nerves that had just relaxed became tense again, and he cursed loudly: "Why are there still gunshots on Bageya Road? Doesn't it mean that the Eighth Route Army has retreated?"
"General, there are only a few stragglers from the Eighth Route Army who came out of the woods to attack us!" A second lieutenant rushed over and reported, panting heavily!
"Order: All troops leave the woods, gather on the road, clean the battlefield, and count casualties, and then we continue on the road to Lingqiu!" the brigade commander ordered with a stern face!
"I almost forgot. Guerrilla warfare and night fighting are also what the Eighth Route Army is good at!"
"The troops left the road. Although they avoided their shelling, it also created opportunities for them to fight guerrillas!"
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
The gunshots kept reaching the brigade commander’s ears!
It starts from the first gunshot and doesn't end until I return to the road!
Seeing the brigade commander's frown deepening, a captain couldn't help but ask for a battle!
"Sir, these Eighth Route Army troops are so arrogant that they dare to come out of the woods to the plains to sneak attack us! Sir, give me an infantry squadron to fight out, and I promise to kill them all!"
The brigade leader’s first subconscious thought was to refuse, but he quickly rejected the idea!
"Okay, I want to teach them a lesson, otherwise they will definitely bite us and beat us in the next few kilometers of mountain road!"
"You must remember that you can counterattack, but the counterattack troops must not enter the forest!"
This was not the first time that the captain had fought against the Eighth Route Army. He was very aware of the power and difficulty of guerrilla warfare, so he immediately replied: "General, don't worry, if I find the Eighth Route Army that sneaks up on us, I will only use firepower to kill them and repel them. I will never attack casually!"
"
Just as the captain left, another captain came over with a solemn look on his face!
