Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 535
"Very good, this time I will mark the first achievement of your five regiments!" Zhou Weihan couldn't help being overjoyed after hearing Li Daben's report of the battle.

Zhao Gang glanced at the happy Zhou Weihan, and also praised: "In less than five minutes of fighting, you have killed more than [-] enemies, and your own casualties are almost negligible. You really fought beautifully in this battle!"

After hearing this, Li Daben laughed, he had been thinking about this good start for a long time.

At this moment, a correspondent rushed to the headquarters on horseback: "Report, the first battalion of the Fifth Regiment is less than ten miles away from Erdaokou!"

The five regiments participating in the battle retreated alternately. The first battalion and the heavy machine gun company in the prominent position retreated first.

However, Xing Zhiguo, who was in the fifth regiment at the time, feared that the Japanese army would not follow, so he personally took command of the first battalion, but in the end Li Daben, the regiment commander, led the rest of the troops to withdraw first, and Xing Zhiguo and Luo Jie stayed behind to attract the Japanese army.

"Report!" Before the first correspondent left, another correspondent arrived again: "The chief of staff made it clear that there were nearly two brigades of the Japanese army in pursuit, and there were no heavy artillery accompanying the army!"

Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this: "Okay, now the two brigades of the little devils have left the main force, and now everything is ready, the only thing left is for the little devils to enter the ambush circle!"

After Zhou Weihan finished speaking, he glanced at the time: "Li is very capable!"

"To!"

"Can your five regiments fight again?"

"Yes!" Li Daben replied decisively.

"Okay, when the Japanese army enters the ambush circle, the Fifth Regiment is responsible for sealing the entrance, and we must not let a little devil escape!" Zhou Weihan ordered.

"Yes!" Li Daben replied excitedly. Now that the little devil's chasing troops have become meat on the chopping block, who would despise their military exploits.

The words are divided into two parts.

The fifth regiment was supposed to retreat first, but Sanji Tahara delayed for a while. If it wasn't for the packages and ammunition belts left by the fifth regiment along the way, the little devil would have lost them.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Tahara Sanji, who was riding on a tall horse, urged loudly.

The smoke and dust ahead are always in sight, but they just can't catch up. Tahara Sanji concluded that the smoke and dust must have been produced by the Eighth Route Army's march.

Sanji Tahara was deeply ashamed of the brief confrontation before, and the captain of the Noguchi brigade was killed on the spot. A total of more than 220 people from the two brigades were killed, and more than 400 people were injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

The vanguard removed the wounded, and after integration, there were only more than 1500 people left. Tahara Sanji left another infantry squadron to escort the wounded to Wu'an County, and the number decreased again.

Fortunately, today Yukio added four infantry squadrons, and the number of people chasing the Japanese army reached more than 2100.

Tahara Sanji glanced forward, and saw that after chasing, a valley appeared in front of him. The cliffs on both sides were as high as [-] meters, and there was only a narrow path of four or five meters in the middle. He watched the Eighth Route Army drill into it.

"Stop moving forward!" Tahara Sanji suddenly became alert.

Once the order was issued, the Japanese pursuit troops stopped quickly, and Yokota Tetsu of the Noguchi Battalion also came to find him.

"The terrain ahead is dangerous, there must be ambushes from the Eighth Route Army, absolutely not to pursue!" Sanji Tahara learned a lesson from a fall.

Yokota Tetsuya was in a hurry, the captain was broken, how could he let the Eighth Route Army run away willingly: "Tian Yuan-kun, let the Eighth Route Army run away like this, how will I explain to General Imada, and how will I explain to the brave warriors of Yusui?"

"Where is the Imperial Association Army accompanying the army? Find him!" Sanji Tahara said to the adjutant.

An imperial association army sent by Yuuchi Terauchi to lead the way was brought to him. Sanji Tahara pointed to the valley ahead and asked, "What's the name of this place?"

"Taijun, this area is called Erdaokou, and it has already reached the territory of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yoxi, is there a way around this canyon nearby? Do you know?"

Cao Dabao rolled his eyes, thinking that he was waiting for this sentence, and then a flattering smile appeared on his face: "Taijun, I know there is a small road, maybe it can block the Eighth Route Army at the exit of the valley?"

"Hurry up and lead the way!"

"Yes Yes!"

A small group of devils pressed Cao Dabao and walked in the front. The Japanese army originally pursued all the way north, but this time they were led by Cao Dabao to detour to the east.

The Japanese army pressed hard, and after more than half an hour, Erdaokou was left behind. The Japanese army immediately turned around and turned west, trying to block the Eighth Route Army at the exit of the valley.

Cao Dabao glanced at the Japanese army behind him and sneered, not far ahead was the location of Zhou Weihan's preset ambush circle.

The terrain of Erdaokou was too dangerous, but Zhou Weihan did the opposite and set up an ambush circle on a small basin in the northeast of Erdaokou.

Surrounded by low hills, the height is [-] meters, and the enemy is [-] to [-] meters. Under normal circumstances, the enemy can rush to the top of the hill with a single charge.

Seeing that the exit of the basin was approaching, Cao Dabao pointed to the front and said, "Taijun, Erdaokou is ahead!"

Little devil Cao Chang nodded in satisfaction: "Yo Xi!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cao Dabao burrowed into the nearby woods, and more than a dozen black guns pointed at him from the opposite woods.

"Da da da!" The gunfire of the flower mechanism rang out, and a dozen little devils fell to the ground in an instant.

On this occasion, more than 29 Japanese soldiers were formally led into the ambush circle by Cao Dabao. The two sides of the ambush circle were the first regiment and the third regiment, and the [-]th regiment was blocking the exit of the basin. Overcome the scruples and directly wiped out the little devil.

"How could there be the sound of a submachine gun?" Sanji Tahara woke up suddenly.

In an instant, gunshots erupted from both sides, one regiment of [-] heavy machine guns, and three regiments of eighteen heavy machine guns burst into violent firepower from both sides.

Behind the two regiments, Zhou Weihan set up two mountain artillery companies and two field artillery companies respectively. The artillery battalion had calibrated the shooting parameters in advance.

The Japanese army was eager to pursue, and the originally orderly march became chaotic. After entering the basin, each squadron competed to be the first to go out, and more than [-] Japanese troops crowded together.

Nearly two hundred light and heavy machine guns and twenty-four artillery pieces did not give the Japanese army extra time to react.

In a blink of an eye, the Japanese army was submerged in the flames, and the sound of explosions rang out in the Japanese army formation one after another.

At the last moment of Tahara Sanji's life, he only felt light in his body.As he got closer to the sun, the surrounding noises also disappeared, and then his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

A Japanese squadron walking at the back tried to retreat and escape from the ambush circle. As a result, Li Daben led the second battalion, third battalion and heavy machine gun company to tie up the hole.

More than two hundred little devils were hit head-on, and they tried to break through many times, but they were unable to break through the opening in the direction of the fifth regiment.
