Boom boom boom...

The shells fell down row after row, fell into the midst of the hordes of Japanese soldiers, and exploded with a bang.

Along with the fire and mud mist rising up, one after another the Japanese were lifted up.

Ichiro Banishi's nose was so angry that they couldn't see the Eighth Route Artillery Position at all, which meant that their position couldn't be seen from the Eighth Route Artillery Position.

However, he led the soldiers to run wildly, and the cannonballs hit them wherever they went.

The eight-way cannonballs are as evil as having eyes.

Even if the Japs were far away from the dirt road, the artillery shells could accurately hit the Japs' crowd.

As for the Japanese artillery positions, they were covered by artillery fire during the first and second rounds of shelling, and most of the 4 mountain guns and 4 infantry guns were destroyed.

If you want to use artillery to counter-suppress the Eighth Route Artillery position, you can't do it at all. You can't even find the specific location of the Eighth Route Artillery.

Ichiro Sakanishi and Norimasa Morita ran wildly on their horses. After all, the horses ran faster and quickly left the shelling area.

But when I stopped, I found that the soldiers behind were still being bombed, and soldiers were being bombed every moment.

The expressions of Ichirō Sakanishi and Norimasa Morita were very embarrassed at this time, and they could neither run nor return.

Of course he could run away on horseback, but running away alone in front of so many soldiers was something he couldn't do.

But they were unwilling to go back and be bombed with the soldiers.

what to do?

I could only stand there and stare.

Morita Norimasa said in a deep voice: "Captain, judging from the direction and arc of the artillery shells, the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army is at least 4 kilometers away from us!"

"Impossible! From such a long distance, the artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army can't even see our position!" Ichirō Sakanishi looked in disbelief.

"This is so strange!" Norimasa Morita was confused. "It's like their cannonballs have eyes. How can they hit so accurately?"

Banishi Yiliang suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed: "There is only one possibility. Someone is nearby to provide shooting parameters for the artillery of the Eighth Route Army!"

Morita Norimasa looked around alertly, but saw nothing. There was nothing except bare sand and vegetation.

The sound of gunfire gradually stopped.

Ichirō Banishi looked slightly happy: "Morita-kun, quickly gather the team and let's get out of this ghost place!"

"Hi!" Morita Norizheng paused, then rode his horse and ran towards the Japanese.

Before Morita Norizheng could run up to the Japanese, the army horse stopped on its own and neighed impatiently.

Morita Norizheng quickly stroked his beloved horse's head with his hand, trying to calm it down. Suddenly, he saw the sand on the ground seem to be beating slightly.

Then faintly, Morita Norimasa heard the rapid and rumble of horse hooves.

Morita Norimasa quickly picked up the telescope and looked forward, only to see a gray line emerging from the end of the horizon.

As time went by, the black line got closer and closer to here. After seeing the gray line clearly, Morita Norimasa immediately took a breath.

Where is the gray line? They are clearly the Eighth Route Cavalry wearing gray military uniforms. It is no smaller than a cavalry regiment!

Morita Norimasa waved to the Japanese soldiers in the distance, then turned the horse's head and slapped the horse's butt before heading back to escape.

But at this moment, Morita Norimasa suddenly discovered that figures of the Eight Route Army appeared in all directions.

The mountains and seas of people cover the sky and the sun, and the troops are probably no less than a division!

There is also a regiment of cavalry!

Completely surrounded them!

Ichiro Banishi rode up from the rear. It was not that he did not want to escape, but that a large group of Eighth Route Infantry appeared on the retreat, with the strength of no less than a regiment.

Not to mention that he is a big living person, not even a bird can fly out.

Of course, only if you stay with the soldiers can you possibly break out.

After Ichiro Banishi and Mori Tanfanzheng rushed back, they drew their command swords and ordered the soldiers to fight.

The more than a thousand Japs who survived quickly placed the wounded and non-combatants in the middle, and hurriedly formed a circle formation by squatting or lying on the ground.

38 large cover, crooked handle light machine guns, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenade launchers and other heavy weapons were set up by the Japanese.

Ichiro Sakanishi, Norimasa Morita and the remaining two infantry captains were each in one direction, directing the Japanese operations.

Ta da da, da da, da da da...

The gunfire rang out like popping beans.

The artillery batteries of each regiment quickly set up their mortars and infantry guns, and aimed their mortar fire at the Japanese.

The shells kept passing over the charging comrades in front, falling into the Japanese formation and exploding.

In particular, the mortars and infantry artillery of the artillery battery of the special operations group were very accurate and tricky, and were designed to target the enemy's light and heavy machine gun firepower points.

Boom, boom, boom...

After more than a dozen huge explosions, most of the Japanese's light and heavy machine guns misfired.

At this time, two cavalry battalions directly under the two infantry brigades had rushed forward.

"Brothers, harvest the corn!" Sun Desheng raised his saber and roared.

For Sun Desheng, the corn harvest today was enough. He harvested it first in Nanzhuang Village.

Another wave was collected between the Japanese second blockade line and Nanzhuang Village, and now we can collect another wave. It can be said that it is full.

But Sun Desheng and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion would not be too many to chop off the Japs' heads.

Seeing the Eighth Route Cavalry sweeping in like a tide, the formation of the Japanese soldiers became panicked from a few dozen meters away.

The Japs in front of the cavalry showed a look of fear. While firing, they moved back uncontrollably.

From a distance of tens of meters, the cavalry sprinted at full speed and disappeared in an instant.

More than 600 Eighth Route Army cavalrymen holding Yunlong knives, like an unsheathed sword, instantly pierced into the Japanese formation.

It is like a group of tigers rushing into a flock of sheep, completely disrupting the enemy's formation.

Sun Desheng was the first to rush into the Japs' formation, and killed the two Japs to the ground with two sword strikes.

Suddenly he saw a Japanese cavalryman in front of him, holding a samurai sword and staring at him with cold eyes.

Judging from the military uniform and the military rank worn on his shoulders, this is a Japanese colonel.

This small chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is none other than Kazuo Banishi, the captain of the 225th Regiment of the Japanese 36th Division.

A sharp look flashed in Sun Desheng's eyes, and he continued to move forward on his horse, charging towards Ichiro Banishi.

Sun Desheng held the Yunlong knife in his mouth halfway, picked up a 38 rifle bayonet inserted on the ground, and raised the bayonet with one hand to greet Ichiro Banishi.

During the sprint, Sun Desheng deliberately pulled the trigger, but there was no bullet in the chamber.

"Nishiuchi!" The commander's sword in Ichiro Banishi's hand suddenly stabbed at Sun Desheng. Sun Desheng dodged sideways, and at the same time, the bayonet in his hand suddenly stretched forward.

38 The bayonet instantly pierced through Ichiro Sakanishi's chest, and the huge impact brought by inertia knocked him off his horse.

Immediately, Sun Desheng put down his rifle, and Banishi Ichiro was pinned to the ground by the 38 rifle bayonet.

Sun Desheng then took off the Yunlong Saber from his mouth and continued to charge forward.

The sword flashed and blood shot out.

As the Eighth Route Army cavalry penetrated the Japanese formation, the infantry of each regiment that charged immediately took over.

There were less than 1,000 Japanese soldiers left, and they were quickly drowned in the sea of ​​people.

In this battle, the Independent Brigade, 11th Brigade and Artillery Regiment of the Eighth Route Army completely wiped out the 225th Regiment of the Japanese 36th Division at a very small cost.

Even in the past ten years or so, some military scientists still study this battle as a classic military example.

Although the number of troops was 3 to 1, the complete annihilation of an elite Japanese regiment at such a small cost was extremely rare in the entire history of war.

Except for the time when the special operations battalion completely wiped out the 132nd Regiment of the Japanese 37th Division in Yuncheng.

The hand-to-hand combat ended in less than 10 minutes, and no one escaped.

Although the Japanese's individual stabbing skills were strong, they could not withstand the large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Two brigades with tens of thousands of infantrymen cannot compete with the more than 1,000 Japanese infantrymen. They can only pinch them with their hands.

The Japanese didn't even have a chance to fight against the trapped beasts.

When Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and other brigade-level cadres rushed up with machetes, they saw only corpses on the ground.

This made Ding Wei look unhappy: "Why did you kill them all? Didn't you leave a few for us?"

Ding Wei's 1st regimental commander laughed and said: "I'm sorry, brigadier. The soldiers were so excited that they killed them all accidentally."

The implication is that I'm sorry, there are more wolves but less meat, so I'm not happy about killing them.

"Collect the corn, collect it!" Li Yunlong cursed while holding the ghost machete, "I should have known this, so I would no longer be the brigade commander!"

"You, Lao Li, are a fed man but don't know a hungry man is hungry." Kong Jie said, "How about we switch? You will be the deputy brigade commander and I will be the brigade commander. I guarantee that you can participate in hand-to-hand combat every time.
