Takahashi's reaction was quick, the cavalry's assault was faster, and there was a guard company nearby that had already been eyeing his headquarters.
"Rumble..."
The second round of shells fell quickly. Compared with the first round, the impact points of this round of shells were obviously more dispersed.
A shell exploded thirty meters away from the headquarters.
Fires splashed everywhere, smoke filled the air, and air waves centered on the impact point, sweeping around like a tornado.
The tent where the headquarters was located looked like it was made of paper and was overturned in an instant.
Many guards were blown away in the explosion.
The guard captain panicked: "The Eighth Route Army's artillery shells are coming. We can't stay here any longer. We will retreat directly and wait for the troops to rush out from the assembly area while retreating."
"Retreat!" The chief of staff also agreed with this decision and immediately ordered.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers retreated toward the southwest of the battlefield. The commander of the regiment, Colonel Takahashi, was undoubtedly surrounded by everyone in the middle.
As long as the surrounding security forces are not dead, Takahashi's life safety will not be a problem.
In the darkness two hundred meters away, more than a hundred soldiers from the Third Company of the Guard Battalion lurked here.
Everyone's eyes were wide open, staring at the fat piece of Japanese army headquarters.
After the shelling started, the Third Company did not take immediate action.
Although the Japanese troops left the headquarters, they did not move. Most of the guards were guarding the surrounding area, either lying on the ground or half squatting, staring at the surroundings without blinking, very vigilant.
If you act at this time, every move of the Third Company will never escape the eyes of these old devils.
At that time, the raid will turn into an encounter. If the third company wants to eat this piece of fat, it will definitely have to pay a heavy price.
The Japanese army began to retreat. After everyone started to move, they would inevitably become distracted and their vigilance would be greatly reduced.
By increasing the artillery battalion's artillery cover, the third company would have the opportunity to continue to approach them, shorten the attack distance, launch a surprise attack with the most intense firepower, and kill them with one blow.
More than a hundred people, under cover of darkness, surrounded Osaka Takahashi like ghosts.
"Baga! There's someone on our flank...ba...!" an old Japanese on guard outside suddenly shouted, raised his rifle and pulled the trigger at the figure.
"Attack... click, click, click..."
The moment the gunshot rang out, the company commander also moved, raised his submachine gun and fired at the crowd, shouting loudly.
"Da da da... bah bah..."
The surrounding submachine guns, rifles, and light machine guns were shooting together, and the dense bullets were like meteors, whizzing towards the Japanese!
"Protect the captain to retreat. The others stay behind and block them..." the Japanese guard captain shouted.
A dozen little devils rushed out to face the bullets and used their bodies to block the bullets fired by the guards, giving Takahashi two seconds to move.
"The first platoon continues to advance forward and kill the little Japanese behind." The third company commander also reacted quickly and made a decision immediately.
"The others will outflank me and eat the little devil who just ran away."
"This is a big fat piece of meat that you can bite into your mouth. We must not let it slip away, and we must not let them join up with other troops, otherwise it will be difficult to kill them."
"Da da da……"
Gunshots continued to ring out around the high bridge, becoming more and more intensive.
People kept getting shot and fell to the ground, and there were fewer and fewer guards around them.
"Chichi..."
A bullet penetrated the protective ring formed by the body of the guard through a gap in the people, penetrated Takahashi's thigh, and left two bloody holes on the left and right.
Blood gushed out immediately, turning his trouser legs red in an instant.
Takahashi, who was retreating quickly, suddenly fell to the ground.
"No, sir, he's been shot." A guard shouted.
"Carry it away while the others defend and protect the captain at all costs." the guard captain ordered.
Carrying it must be slower than walking by yourself. The company commander was keenly aware of this change, his eyes became increasingly hot, and he seized the opportunity to order: "There must be something wrong with you little devil."
"Let's speed up, catch up and kill them."
The moment the order was issued, the company commander's pace accelerated a lot, and the submachine gun in his arms kept roaring, spitting out bullets one after another.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Rifleman also joins the battle, and its powerful penetrating power is best suited for killing such little devils who gather together.
A bullet flying over can kill at least two Japs just like it penetrates a gourd.
Colonel Takahashi failed to escape in the end and was shot to death by a machine gun at close range.
In the Japanese army assembly area, the heavy artillery's damage to the infantry was absolutely devastating, especially when there were no fortifications. The explosion would cover a large area and there would be no place to hide.
Just a heavy artillery raid caused heavy casualties to the Japanese troops at the assembly area.
By the time the cavalry came over, the assembly area was already strewn with corpses and severely injured people who could not move.
The more than 300 Japs who were still able to move broke out and retreated toward the southwest like beleaguered dogs.
No matter how fast the two legs were, they couldn't be faster than the cavalry. Nearly a hundred cavalry were strangled with them as if they were in no one's land.
After the Third Company of the Guard Battalion killed Takahashi, reinforcements came over to hunt down the little Japs who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape...
In front of the enemy headquarters of the Xiaolizhuang Garrison Regiment, communications platoon leader Zhou Liang rushed in with excitement: "Reporting to the regimental commander and chief of staff, they successfully killed the Japanese and puppet troops in the south of the city and are concentrating their troops to face the Japanese and puppet reinforcements in the east of the city.
."
"Report to the regiment commander, the cavalry battalion reported that they have captured the Japanese heavy artillery position, and there are still many artillery pieces intact. Please ask the regiment commander to send someone to take over them immediately." A correspondent from the cavalry battalion rushed in and reported.
"Commander, Commander Zhang of the Third Company of the Guard Battalion reported that they have killed the captain of the Little Japanese Regiment and are cooperating with the cavalry battalion to kill the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the north of the city..."
"We won this battle!" Li Hao replied happily.
Only then did the tense nerves completely relax, the worry on his face disappeared, and he ordered with excitement.
"Order the artillery battalion to move immediately, and then organize half of the artillerymen to enter the Japanese heavy artillery position to clean the battlefield."
"Take away all the twelve heavy artillery pieces brought by the Japanese, whether they are good or bad."
"Order all attacking troops to attack steadily and annihilate all the little devils here."
"The Japanese reinforcements will arrive on the battlefield in three hours. We have plenty of time to destroy the remaining enemies and retreat."
"Order the air defense battalion to draw out an air defense company to reinforce the reconnaissance company and kill the Japanese tank squadron."
"An anti-aircraft machine gun can not only fight aircraft and infantry, but also tanks and armored vehicles."
"The Japs Tank Squadron is equipped with ordinary armored vehicles and light tanks. The anti-aircraft machine guns can definitely penetrate those iron armors and kill the Japs inside at close range."
