under fire

Chapter 424 Where are the Devil Cavalry?
Nothing can be seen on the road filled with gunpowder smoke and dust, and the breakout troops have no chance to shoot at all on the road.

I had to run with my head depressed and the people in front of me.

Most of the troops charging from the open fields on both sides fell to the ground after only one shot, and then fell silent. Maybe they were hit by random shots and died on the way to break through. The people who followed behind were silent. Buxiang picked up the rifle, threw it on his back and continued to rush forward, followed by the stretcher team, one by one checking to see if there were still people alive on the ground. The next second, his body tilted, and a bullet passed through his chest
Shao Zuo finally realized the Eighth Route's attempt, and immediately ordered the two wings to gather towards the middle of the road.

The narrow traffic trenches on the ground were crowded with people, and the daring devils rushed out of the trenches, and immediately faced the rain of bullets fired from the eight routes, and also fell to the ground from time to time, raising a cloud of blood mixed with dust

The positions temporarily built by the devils are not systematic, even weak.

The distance of a few hundred meters was quickly penetrated by the eighth road that concentrated its troops charging.

At the edge of the gunpowder, finally, Hu Yi, whose vision became clear, hesitated for a moment, continued to move his tired steps, and came to the cavalry and infantry who rushed out of the encirclement first and scattered among the formation: "Why are you still standing there? blocking position"

The dazed crowd immediately fried their pans, extending along both sides of the road, with shovels and bayonets in full swing, and more people emerged from the smoke, subconsciously wanting to join the trench digging team.

Hu Yi pulled a person who looked like a cadre: "Hurry up and take your people to continue eastward, and they are all nested here, waiting to die!"

The sound of guns and guns in the gunpowder smoke continued, and the footsteps around him continued to move eastward. Finally, the armored vehicle with increasing roar came out of the gunpowder smoke, emitting the smell of gasoline tail, mixed with the gunpowder smoke full of noses taste.

Next to the armored vehicle, on a stretcher carried by four people, the big and thick bear struggled to straighten his head, looked at Hu Yi, whose face was blackened by the gunpowder, and said, "Boss Hu, that... I was injured."

"Brother, most of our people have rushed out. I heard from them that after crossing two rivers from Hua County to the east, we will find the Weinan Plain. As long as the speed is fast enough, it is not a problem to get rid of the devils!" Following, Ma Liang took People emerge from the smoke.

Surprised, he ran to Hu Yi who was looking at the southern sky with his binoculars.

"You guys run really fast." Gao Yidao, who was leading a large stretcher team, threw his rifle on his back, and looked at Hu Yi, who was beside the stretcher team of the Ninth Company, with a dark face.

"You're not too slow." Hu Yi put down the binoculars and said, then turned to look at Ma Liang, "Where's the political commissar?"

"The head of the regiment and the chiefs of the military division broke out with the wounded, just behind." Gao Yidao, who stayed behind, knew more and couldn't help but interjected.

"Which part of you? What are you doing standing on the side of the road, what are mothers-in-law and mothers doing? Why don't you hurry up?" Two soldiers with submachine guns hanging across their chests rushed out of the gunpowder smoke.

Hu Yi recognized that these two were the security personnel of the Division Command.

Subconsciously leaned against the armored vehicle with bullet craters and scratches on the side.

"Uh, you guys belong to Jiulian? Oh, just pretend I didn't say anything!" The guard hurriedly apologized.

"Hu Yi?" The commander was sweating profusely, and he appeared in the field of vision first, followed by a few people, and the political commissars of the head of the regiment Lu appeared one after another.

"Hi sir!" Hu Yi replied loudly, but did not salute.

It's awkward to shout the three words "Shou Zhang Hao"...

Logically speaking, regimental commander Lu should directly command the battle, but in the end, the commander of the division made do with the independent regiment!
What made the commander smack his lips was: this independent regiment is really different!

After the battle started, Commander Lu and Political Commissar Ding had nothing to do with him at all. He didn't participate in the battle for three consecutive times. He was sent by Commander Lu to help carry the wounded and set fire to the military divisions by the way.

The nine companies of armored vehicles, artillery platoons, and machine gun platoons have fierce firepower.

The Erlian charge is brave and fearless, with a magnificent momentum
"Commander, as long as we can get rid of the devil cavalry's pursuit, we are basically safe!" the staff officer looked around and said in a low voice.

"Are you sure that the devil's plane in the sky is gone?" The commander patted the dust all over his body, staring at the sky in a daze.

"Quan flew away to the south!" Hu Yi thought for a while, and then reported the situation of seeing the devil's plane.

There was another roar of engines in the gunpowder smoke, and Erlian's car followed!
The driver was a soldier from Jiulian who came out bravely to help the friendly army.

The commander and the staff stared wide-eyed: armored vehicles, automobiles. Our military division also has them!

However, I have been covering it as a treasure, so it can still be used in this way.

Finally figured out that the car is used for security, to pull gasoline and ammunition for the armored vehicles!
This is no wonder, the Eighth Route Army has been fighting guerrillas most of the time. It’s not that they have never seen cars and tanks, and even seized them in battle. Once they think that the iron king’s eight targets are too big, they can’t maneuver in the mountains and there are no roads. It's just a nuisance.

It is not suitable for fighting in the mountains. The plains are full of devils and traitors. The targets are too big to be suitable for guerrilla warfare. Therefore, even if they are captured, they will be bombed directly.

When studying at the Anti-Japanese University, the teacher actually talked about the combination of infantry and tanks. Isn't the mechanized troops quickly interspersed with the nine companies and two companies in front of us?
The armored vehicle was parked on the road, and the stretcher team had to get off the road and detour, and the road began to be congested.

"Hurry up!" A voice came from the smoke,
Immediately, a black face slowly appeared from the gunpowder smoke, it was the head of the cavalry Zeng.

Seeing a crowd of people surrounding him, Commander Zeng quickly got off his horse: "I told you, Commander, the devils behind are all overrun, so let's go quickly?"

Hu Yi looked at the monkey who got out of the armored vehicle to breathe: "Are you all alright?"

The monkey shivered: "One died. This thing is thin-skinned, and it was pierced through several holes by the devil's heavy machine gun!"

After finishing speaking, another bloody body was pulled out from the armored vehicle: "Can you bury him?"

Hu Yi turned to look at Ma Liang: "Work."

Several people immediately stepped forward, carried the corpse, and dug a hole

"Why didn't you see Li Xiang?" Hu Yi continued to ask Ma Liang.

Ma Liang touched his head in embarrassment: "When I came over, they were still having sex."

"On a stretcher! I can't die for the time being." Captain Lu wiped off his sweat. He was a majestic leader and had no chance to command at all. Now he is the captain of the containment team.

Everyone present, their blackened faces were covered with sweat. The commander poked twice on the map with a stern expression: "Be sure to find out the location of the devil's cavalry!"

"A battalion of puppet soldiers led by a squadron of Huaxian garrison that was attacked by the independent regiment earlier, according to the information of the work team, a brigade of cavalry came. Could it be cavalry that surrounded us?" The staff thought about every kind of possibility.

"It's possible, but, can anyone tell me where the devil's horses are?"

Gao Yidao standing next to him suddenly stood up: "I can be sure that there are cavalry in the devil's trench!"

"Why do you say that?" The staff subconsciously searched for an answer.

"It can't be seen on the surface, but take a look at this gun." Gao Yidao took a rifle from the soldier next to him and handed it to Captain Lu.

The commander next to him pulled it over: "Four-four-step cavalry is really a cavalry! No wonder, I wonder why this devil's combat effectiveness has become weaker!"

"Could it be that all the cavalry are on the ground?" The staff officer was puzzled. Although he knew that the Lancers also dismounted to fight, it is impossible for a brigade to give up voluntarily, right?

"Maybe the devils think that they have planes and tanks, and cavalry dismounted as infantry to set up a defense line here to intercept us, and think that we can't fly without wings?" The commander looked relaxed.

"Then, what about their war horses? Couldn't all their cavalry become infantry?" The staff officer had to accept the commander's speculation.

"Could it be that they hid their horses, and there are no cavalry at all, and all the cavalry are here to surround us?" Captain Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead and made a big face.

"All speculations are useless to the result. We have to leave here first. Even if the devils have cavalry, is our cavalry regiment just for display? Hehe, Laozi, I haven't fought with them for a long time!" Head Zeng grinned. There was a cut, revealing the back teeth of the red mouth, full of arrogance.

"If we continue to the east, we have too many wounded, and their wounds cannot be wetted. They have to cross the river through the big stone bridge in the west of Hua County!" The staff officer looked at the map.

"According to the current situation, Hua County is currently only guarded by security forces, and they are vulnerable!" The commander waved his hand.

"But if they really want to defend the bridge, even if we can pass, won't the devils behind catch up again? At that time, we still won't be able to get rid of it."

"It's really impossible, bypass the bridge and cross the river directly! Can a small river ditch kill me?"

"However, the river is almost full of mud now, so it's really hard to say whether it can pass through." The staff officer turned to look at the head of the cavalry: "Head Zeng, why haven't your scouts come back yet?"

Said Cao Cao, just arrived, the two cavalry came back from the front, their black faces were a little strange: "In the village ahead, we found devil cavalry."
