Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 127 The Independent Regiments of the New First Regiment Gather in Dongyang Village ([-])
Xu Hailang smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, the devil's every move is under the watchful eyes of the brothers of the reconnaissance company, and their plots are not so easy to succeed."

"Since these devils want to surround the spot to fight for aid, let's play with him."

"This is a good opportunity to practice marksmanship, and ready-made live targets are hard to find!"

After saying this, Xu Hailang's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he ordered: "Pass me the order, and all the brothers will take aim before hitting!"

"Machine gunners and grenadiers provide fire cover. As long as the devil dares to fight back, he will kill me!"

"Keep the rhythm, as long as you can persist for 1 hour, you don't need to deliberately save ammunition!"

"Yes!"

The platoon leader made a promise, and then took a few messengers to convey Xu Hailang's order to all parts of the position.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the first company immediately adjusted their strategy and began to shoot accurately at the devils at the foot of the mountain.

"Crack, clap clap clap—"

Gunshots rang out, and although the distance exceeded 200 meters, the little devils hid behind the bunkers, often only showing half of their heads.

However, after a long period of live ammunition training, the soldiers of the company have greatly improved their marksmanship. Coupled with the large number of people, they hit about 10 devils in one round of attacks.

Almost all the wounded were shot in the head and died without any pain.

Of course, the little devil's marksmanship is not bad, so they naturally won't sit still.

Unfortunately, just as these little devils were about to raise their guns to fight back, there was bound to be a rain of bullets pouring down, suppressing them so much that they couldn't hold their heads up.

This is not bad, some devils who want to fight back, especially the machine gunners, they are not only suppressed by a series of machine gun fire, but also a grenade will fly from time to time.

"Baga! Damn it, why are these damn Tubalu so well equipped?"

"Didn't it mean that their supplies are very scarce, and some troops even share a gun with several people?"

"Which bastard provided this information, it's really hateful!"

The devils who were beaten so hard that they couldn't lift their heads cursed angrily, and greeted all the eighteen generations of the devil's ancestors in the intelligence department.

A few minutes later, due to the heavy casualties, Yamazaki Zhihei had to issue an order to retreat 100 meters.

However, this old devil's target was not only the first company of the independent battalion besieged on the mountain ridge, but the entire independent battalion, and even the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so he didn't care about this casualty.

……

On the other side, the 3rd and 4th Squadrons of the Yamazaki Battalion had set up an ambush on the way the Eighth Route Army reinforcements arrived.

Hikawa Okasaka is the Captain of the No. 3 Squadron. At this time, he is standing on the top of a soil slope, holding a telescope to observe the situation ahead.

Not long after, a surprise army appeared in his field of vision through the telescope.

There are more than 100 cavalry troops, and they are rushing towards the position where he set up an ambush. The hooves of the horses stomped heavily on the ground, splashing dust all over the ground. From a distance, it looks like a long Huanglong.

"Yo Xi! The military horses that this Chinese cavalry ride must be the ones that were lost by the Huangxie Army in Wanjia Town?"

"Order the squads to prepare for battle immediately. The first squad is responsible for setting the tripping rope on the road!"

"Be sure to wipe out all these Chinese cavalry without harming these military horses!"

Hikawa Okasaka grinned at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent as cold as a wild wolf.

They had already speculated through their weapons and equipment that the troops of the Independent Battalion were besieged on the mountain ridge. Therefore, it was not difficult to guess the identity of this cavalry.

"Hi Yi!"

The devil's messenger made a promise, then turned around and left to convey the order.

Hikawa Okasaka continued to raise the binoculars, and he wanted to watch this group of prey enter the trap he carefully set with his own eyes.

The old devil guessed right, the first to come for reinforcements was the cavalry company of the independent battalion with horses.

The speed of the cavalry company was very fast, and after a while, their figures were blocked by a hill.

Hikawa Okasaka immediately put down the binoculars, and he didn't think much about it. Anyway, there is only one road leading to Dongyang Village from this direction.

Unless this team is looking for a distance, in that case, it will take at least 5 kilometers more, and it is obviously impossible for the other party to do so.

But soon, Hikawa Okasaka's brows suddenly knit together.

Because the cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army did not come out for more than a minute after entering the back of the hill, as if being swallowed by the hill.

Not normal, so abnormal!
Soon, a ghost scout ran over and reported to Richuan Okazakahui: "Report to the squadron leader, the cavalry suddenly stopped two kilometers away from us!"

"Nani?"

Richuan Okazaka looked confused: "Could it be that the Eighth Route Army didn't reinforce the besieged allies? Or did they see through the captain's battle plan?"

A devil squad leader said: "Squadron leader, what should we do now?"

Hikawa Okasaka pondered for a moment, and said: "Wait and see first, and report this matter to the captain immediately!"

"Hi Yi!"

The leader of the devil squad nodded heavily, and then arranged for a messenger to rush towards Dongyang Village.

On the other side, the Second Company of the Independent Battalion, which arrived later, also stopped two kilometers away from the ambush circle of the 4th Squadron of the Yamazaki Brigade.

Of course, it wasn't that they didn't reinforce the besieged company, but they learned about the devil's battle plan through the scouts of the reconnaissance company, so it was naturally impossible for them to move forward and enter the devil's ambush circle.

Dongyang Village.

Yamazaki Zhiping soon received the news from the 3rd and 4th squadrons from the front, and couldn't help frowning: "It seems that this independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army is indeed much more difficult to deal with than I imagined."

Kobayashi Jiro on the side said: "Captain, what should we do now?"

Yamazaki Zhihei: "Don't those Tubalu feel that the friendly army on the mountain is not in danger yet, so they are not in a hurry?"

"Then let's put the Eighth Route Army on the mountain in danger and see if they are in a hurry!"

"Pass my order, the artillery squadron will immediately bombard the Chinese army on the mountain!"

"After the bombardment is over, the 1st and 2nd Squadrons, launch an attack immediately!"

"Hi Yi!"

Kobayashi Jiro nodded heavily, then turned around and conveyed Yamazaki Zhihei's order.

The artillery squadron of the Yamazaki Brigade is a reinforced squadron. Although it does not carry heavy fire weapons such as the Type 8 infantry gun, it carries eight 60mm caliber mortars.

At this time, once the fire was fired, the hill where Yilian was hiding was blown up into flames, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

All kinds of gravel and soil were thrown everywhere along with the shock wave of the explosion.

Some of the soldiers from the company happened to be at the point where the shells fell, and they were immediately blown out with their guns...
