Chapter 12 Morning Bull
"Brothers, beat me hard, beat these dogs to death."
Leng Er yelled continuously, while raising the box cannon flat and fired violently in front of him. The box cannon had a great recoil. Without connecting the holster, the effective range was only fifty meters. If the hit rate exceeds fifty meters, he could only pray for the blessing of the gods. However, the wisdom of the Chinese people is endless, and the box cannon can also be played with flowers.
A few years after the box cannon was introduced to China, experienced veterans have explored the long-distance blind shooting method of box cannon. Doesn’t the box cannon have a strong recoil, so will the muzzle jump up when shooting? Okay, then I will shoot flat. No matter how much the muzzle jumps, the bullets fired will only be splashed flat in a fan shape, and can still be killed by two hundred meters away.
If it's not a hit, it's a different story, at least the bullet won't fly into the sky.
Given this characteristic of the box cannon, Leng Er did not aim at it at all when firing.
However, Leng Er had extremely high demands on his opponents: "Brothers, I have aimed at me. If a bullet drops a little Japanese, I will invite him to drink and eat meat. If anyone can't kill any five bullets, I don't have any wine or meat here, but I have fried pork with bamboo slices."
The big-headed soldiers lying next to them raised their guns and shot them laughed.
However, no matter how much laughed, few of the big-headed soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment could hit the target, and even after the shooting, all five bullets in the gun chamber were rarely hit. After all, the Japanese were not fools. They would not rush forward in a daze, and they would not crowd dozens or hundreds of people to charge in a dense manner.
Faced with dozens of Japanese soldiers who opened the line of scattered soldiers and made various tactical evasion actions, even in the Battle of Shanghai, the veterans of the Central Army's most elite German-armed division were blinded. The Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had only been in the army for three months and could not even kick in the stance.
In the face-to-face contest, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui was really nothing more than the Japanese. Even though this time, the only one who entered the mountains to sweep the country was the third-rate garrison troops of the Japanese were only the ones.
After hitting a ping-pong shot, the little Japanese quickly approached within fifty meters.
"Grenade, please greet me with the grenade." Leng Er yelled and shot.
The little Japanese has been bullied to within fifty meters and has entered the effective range of the box cannon. There is no need to shoot straight and continuously to hit the little Japanese with luck, but can aim and hit.
The big-headed soldiers of the 3rd Battalion quickly pulled off the grenade and threw it out.
The little Japanese on the opposite side was not slow to react. While the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion threw out the grenades, the little Japanese melon grenades also threw them over. Then dozens of grenades, melon grenades flew across the air and landed on the opponent's position one after another. With the continuous explosions, casualties occurred on both sides.
A melon grenade fell more than ten meters away from Leng Er. The air waves generated by the explosion overturned the two big-headed soldiers on the ground on the spot. If the guard hadn't reacted quickly, Leng Er might have finished it. The bomb did not care whether you were the battalion commander or not. However, in order to save Leng Er, the guard was hit by dozens of fragments.
"Calf? Calf" Leng Er turned the guard over and reached out to find his breath, and was exhausted.
"Bao, camp, the big Japanese troops are coming up." A big soldier pointed his finger in front of him and shouted.
Leng Er put down the guard and turned his head to look. Sure enough, he saw a large number of Japanese soldiers emerging from behind the opposite ridge, with at least more than a hundred people. Leng Er even saw a mortar. More than a dozen Japanese knelt on one knee on the opposite ridge, nervously adjusting and shooting the world. The shells should fly over later.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, brothers, retreat quickly to the third company's defense line."
Just now, facing a small Japanese team, the third battalion was struggling. Now facing a small Japanese squadron, Leng Er had no confidence in winning. Leng Er believed Xu Shijiu's words. At this stage, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui really did not have the confidence and strength to fight with the small Japanese head-on, and had no choice but to continue to lead the small Japanese into the mountains.
Many of the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion were from Qinglong Village and Heilong Village. They were so familiar with the terrain of Erlong Mountain that they could not be familiar with. Cold Er suddenly whistled and soon ran away.

When Ito Shigeru climbed up the ridge panting, the battle was over.
The captain of the vanguard team hurried over and reported that two Chinese soldiers were killed.
Shiro Ito impatiently drove the team leader away. What he wanted was not to kill two Chinese soldiers, but to wipe out the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. At this time, Shiro Ito felt so angry. Seeing that he had already caught the main force of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, he still let the cunning opponent run away.
But Noguchi Takayuki seemed a little worried and advised: "Ito San, stop chasing him."
"Nani, stop chasing me? I finally bit the main force of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but you asked me to give up?" Shigeru Ito looked at Noguchi Takayuki with a bad expression. If he hadn't been concerned that Noguchi Takayuki came from a samurai family, he might have slapped him in the face now. At this critical moment, what's the point of venting his popularity?
Noguchi Takayuki did not give up and continued to persuade: "Itosaki, the army is already very tired."
Shiro Ito turned his head to look at the Japanese soldiers beside him and found that they were almost all hanging their heads. They were obviously really tired. Originally, they had been chasing the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in the South Anhui for two days and nights. They had never closed their eyes for the past two days and nights, and they had never had a hot meal, and they could not bear it even if they were so stubborn.
But Shigeru Ito was not a master who was willing to give up easily, and said, "We are tired, and the Chinese army ahead is not much better. Now it depends on who is more determined and who can't hold on first. Noguchi San, do you think the Japanese Imperial Army will not be able to hold on first and will lose to the Chinese pig ahead?"
Noguchi frowned and said, "Itosaki, you should know that I didn't mean it."
"I don't know." Ito Shirou groaned and said, "I only know that the main force of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is in front. The imperial army only needs to grit their teeth and persevere for a while to catch up with them."
After saying that, Shigeru Ito ignored Noguchi Takayuki and turned his head to instruct the adjutant: "Order that all squadrons are not allowed to rest and continue to pursue. Before dark today, we must catch up and eliminate the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui."
"Hayi." The adjutant bowed his head and turned around to convey the order.

In a cave deep in Erlong Mountain.
Xu Shijiu asked Yin Shangwen with a smile and said, "Shangwen, what is this tactic?"
Yin Shangwen smiled and said, "We call this the bull tactic. We were in the white area back then..."
When Li Zihan heard the words "Bai" area, his brows suddenly frowned. Yin Shangwen immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly swallowed the second half back into his stomach. Then he changed his statement: "This little Japanese is a cow. Although this cow is quite strong and powerful, he is stubborn and does not obey him. He can't take it away and retreat. What should I do?"
"Yes, what should I do?" Hei Xiazi scratched his head and asked in a silly manner.
Yin Shangwen smiled and continued, "In fact, it is easy to deal with. We will lead it into the mountains and walk it for a few days first. When it is tired, tired, and thin, it will naturally become honest. At that time, if it wants it to go east, it will not dare to go west. If it wants it to lie down, it will not dare to stand. If it let it plow the fields, it will not dare to blow up the thorns, haha."
The commanders of the regiments present and more than a dozen battalions burst into laughter.
"What a tactic of standing up the ox." Xu Shijiu reached out and slapped heavily on the map, stood up and said, "Little Japan is a stupid cow, but we don't want it to go east or lie down, and we don't need it to plow any land or fields. This time, we have to eat its meat, beef and small Japanese meat."
Gao Shenxing also sneered: "The little Japanese is still thinking about eating the main force of our southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, but he didn't know that he was about to die."
Xu Shijiu turned around, his sharp eyes swept across the faces of the four regiment commanders and more than a dozen battalion commanders one by one, and finally fell on Li Zihan's face and asked, "Zihan, have all regiments and battalions entered the designated position?"
Li Zihan stood at attention and said loudly: "Report to the commander, all departments have entered the designated position."
"Okay." Xu Shijiu nodded, turned his head and ordered Heixiazi, "Heizi, send someone to inform Leng Er immediately. The 3rd Battalion will not have to take a walk with the little Japanese anymore, and ask them to lead the little Japanese to Panshi Village."
