Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 124 The situation is critical, the independent battalion descends from heaven

With a faint confidence on his face, Yang Erniu said: "These devils move so slowly, they are much easier to fight than the wild boars on the mountain."

As he spoke, he continued to load the bullets, and the other militiamen with guns also loaded the bullets, or loaded gunpowder and iron sand.

Unfortunately, this time before Yang Erniu continued to fire, the devils from the Yamazaki Brigade launched their attacks one after another.

"Da da da, da da da!"

"Crack, clap clap clap!—"

The gunfire rang out, and a large cloud of bullets immediately poured towards the militiamen and covered them.

The stone wall at the head of the village suffered an old crime immediately, and was beaten to pieces.

Yang Erniu, who was lying behind the stone wall, also fell to the ground and fell on the cotton cap next to him, with two eye-catching bullet holes.

"Er Niu, are you alright?"

Not far away, Yang Tieniu rushed over with his waist down, helped Yang Erniu up from the ground, and then saw that his brother's entire crotch was soaked, accompanied by waves of unpleasant stench taste.

Yang Tieniu knew this smell very well, it was the smell of excrement just pulled out, he thought that Yang Erniu was beaten to death by devils, so he became incontinent, so he didn't even check whether Yang Erniu was injured , and wept bitterly.

Yang Tieniu had just been crying for a while, when Yang Erniu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Brother, I'm not dead, why are you crying?"

"What?"

Yang Tieniu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then carefully inspected Yang Erniu's body, especially his head. After confirming that the other party was not a fraudulent corpse, he was overjoyed and said, "You brat was not hit by the devil. Why are you pretending to be dead to scare me? Do you know that if you do anything wrong, my old lady will have my skin peeled off!"

Yang Erniu said with some embarrassment: "I...Although I was not hit, I was almost scared to death."

"By the way, brother, what should we do now?"

Just at this moment, hundreds of ghost soldiers have already descended to the river bed, and then crossed the river along the gentle part of the river bed.

Yang Tieniu picked up the box cannon that had just been put on the ground and was the only one in their militia team, the rifling was almost worn out, and said: "I can't run away, if that's the case, let's fight with these bastards." The devil is fighting!"

As soon as Yang Tieniu finished speaking, two militiamen with sabers in their hands jumped out from behind the stone wall.

As a result, within two steps of running out, he was beaten into a sieve by the devil machine gunner on the other side of the river.

That's how fighting is, and bullets don't fly around just because they are militiamen, weak, and don't have guns in their hands.

The widest part of the small river at the entrance of Dongyang Village is less than 30 meters, and the river banks on both sides do not exceed [-] meters. For the devil's shooter, this distance is to deliver food, whether it is a rifle or a machine gun.

The devils from the Yamazaki Brigade were caught off guard at first because they were unprepared.

Now that we are prepared, it is naturally impossible to give the militia squad any chance.

"Don't move, wait for the devil to get close before hitting!"

Yang Tieniu quickly stopped other companions who wanted to rush out and shoot.

He didn't know that when the devils approached, they could avoid the devils' machine guns and increase the hit rate of their own bullets, but the devils' marksmanship and bayonet fighting skills were beyond their reach.

Just their militiamen in their 20s are not enough for the devils of the Yamazaki brigade to get stuck between their teeth.

In less than a moment, hundreds of devils passed the gentle slope, from the river bed to the road outside the village entrance.

Although the people in the village hadn't finished walking, there were even women and children, which made the eyes of these beast-like ghosts shine, but they were not in a hurry to enter the village, but turned around and rushed towards the entrance of the village.

"Crack, clap clap clap!"

"Tut, chug, chug, chug..."

The devils from the Yamazaki Battalion charged and fired continuously. At the same time, the devil machine gunners on the other side of the river also pulled the triggers to provide them with fire cover.

Amidst the fierce gunfire, the devils from the Yamazaki Brigade approached quickly, and in a blink of an eye they were less than 50 meters away from the stone wall.

Just when Yang Tieniu gritted his teeth and was about to order a counterattack, and the devils from the Yamazaki brigade took off the grenade from his waist and were about to drop bombs.

Abrupt mutation!

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

There was a scream of bullets piercing the sky, but suddenly, tongues of fire appeared on the mountain ridge on the left side of the village, and then a rain of bullets poured over them.

The devils of the Yamazaki brigade were caught off guard, screaming and falling to the ground after being shot.

In a blink of an eye, more than half of the devils who rushed across the river were killed and injured. The remaining devils reacted quickly and immediately ran into a small courtyard next to the entrance of the village to hide.

Yang Tieniu froze in place, could it be that Battalion Commander Zhang led his troops to come for reinforcements?

That's not right, Dongyang Village is nearly 10 lands away from Sunjiazhai, no matter how fast the monkeys are, it will take at least an hour to go back and forth.

How long has it been since now? Less than 5 minutes.

Yang Erniu and other 20 militiamen also looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened.

Looking around, they found that the devils seemed to have forgotten them, no matter the devils on the other side of the river, the devils crossing the river, or the group of devils who fled into the courtyard at the entrance of the village, they didn't care about them anymore.

The devil's firepower and attention have all been attracted by the machine gun firepower on the left mountain ridge.

……

"Baga! Where did this damned Eighth Route Army come from?"

Yamazaki Zhihei's nose was almost crooked, he never thought that he just wanted to slaughter a village so that his subordinates could be released.

As a result, before entering the village, a Tuba Road suddenly appeared, killing and wounding dozens of his soldiers.

Kobayashi Jiro asked for instructions: "Captain, what should we do now?"

Yamazaki Zhihei said coldly: "Of course we will continue to attack. What are we doing here? It is to destroy the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army. You see, the Eighth Route Army has so much machine gun firepower. It is probably Wang Chengzhu's independent battalion."

"They came just in time, and it saved us from running away!"

"Order the squadrons to immediately abandon the Chinese civilians in those villages and attack the mountain ridge on the left!"

"Hi Yi!"

Kobayashi Jiro made a promise, and then passed on the order of Captain Yamazaki Zhihei...

I have to say that Yamazaki Zhihei really guessed it right this time. It was Wang Chengzhu's independent battalion who came to reinforce the militia team in time.

To be precise, it was the company of the Independent Battalion.

Of course, it wasn't that Wang Chengzhu had the ability to foretell the future and gave the company orders in advance.

But when the Yamazaki Brigade first entered the Eighth Route Army defense area, it was targeted by scouts from the Independent Battalion.

It just so happened that in order to deal with Qian Bojun, Wang Chengzhu transferred his troops from near Wangjia Village to near Lijia Town in advance.

And the first company happened to be the closest to Dongyang Village. After receiving the news, Xu Hailang, the deputy battalion commander and first company commander, ordered someone to report the news to the battalion headquarters, and at the same time gathered troops to rush over.

Arrived just when the Yamazaki Brigade was planning to massacre the village, and stopped in time...
