Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 230 The Independent Regiment Arrives and Encircles the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army
After the order was issued, the soldiers of the Independent Battalion above the canyon immediately lit the Molotov cocktail in their hands and threw it down.

"Crack, crack!—"

The incendiary bottle fell to the ground and immediately shattered, and the gasoline inside burst into flames with a 'hum'.

Soon, the bottom of the entire canyon became a sea of ​​flames.

The bodies of many ghost soldiers were set on fire. They lay on the ground and rolled back and forth in pain, trying to extinguish the fireworks on their bodies.

There are also some devils who try to call their companions to help them.

Unfortunately, facing the sea of ​​flames in front of them, the other devils couldn't protect themselves, so there was no way to save them.

Accompanied by the smell of burning barbecue, a large number of devils were burned alive in the canyon in a short time.

Compared with ordinary Molotov cocktails, Wang Chengzhu also added a lot of sulfur to the Molotov cocktails.

The combustion of sulfur and gasoline not only consumes a large amount of oxygen, but also releases a large amount of poisonous gas.

Although many devils were not burned by the fireworks, they inhaled a large amount of poisonous gas, coughed continuously, and even passed out.

By this time, the Japanese 9th Brigade had no power to resist.

Kazuo Watanabe also realized the seriousness of the situation. He wanted to eliminate the new regiment, and let out the anger in his heart before being sent to the military court.

However, he didn't want the 9th Brigade to lose so much that it would affect the plans of the entire Japan.

So he could only grit his teeth unwillingly, and gave the order to transfer in.

"Turn into!"

"Turn into Huluxia East Exit immediately!"

After receiving the order, the devil soldiers of the 9th Brigade immediately ran towards the east exit of the canyon at the fastest speed as if they were being pardoned.

"The devil is out, the devil is out, hit me, hit me hard!"

Originally, these devils hid in hidden corners, and the soldiers of the independent battalion above the canyon were unable to eliminate them for a while, but now they ran out of the corners one after another.

Although they were careful to retreat close to the cliff, they would still be exposed to the guns of the soldiers of the Independent Battalion when they passed some corners.

"Tut-chug! Chug-chug!—"

Gunshots sounded like popping beans, and the dense bullets poured down, immediately pulling up eye-catching smoke belts on the ground.

The devils exposed in the shooting circle had no way to hide, they were shot in the body one after another, and fell to the ground screaming.

The 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army fled eastward along the Hulu Gorge, while the soldiers of the Independent Battalion pursued eastward from the top of the canyon.

After leaving hundreds of corpses behind, Kazuo Watanabe finally led the remnants of the 9th Brigade to flee near the east exit of the canyon.

Looking at the exit in front of them, all the ghost soldiers had their eyes glowing, wishing they could grow a pair of wings and fly across.

However, just when the ghosts of the 9th Brigade arrived near the exit of the canyon, they were thinking about what they should do after escaping from birth.

Suddenly there was a burst of intense gunfire from the top of the canyon.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

"Tug-chug-chug!—"

"Crack, clap clap clap—"

This sudden gunshot ruthlessly shattered the hopes of the little devils.

By the time they reacted, dozens of people's bodies had already been beaten into hornet's nests, and they all fell to the ground screaming.

Immediately afterwards, there was another mass of grenades pulling smoke, like a stone that cost nothing, and fell towards the bottom of the canyon.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom boom!—"

The grenades exploded one after another, creating clusters of dazzling scarlet flames at the bottom of the canyon.

Due to the semi-enclosed terrain of the canyon, the sound of the explosion can echo back and forth inside the canyon, making the sound of the grenade much louder than when it exploded in an open area.

Although many devils were not killed on the spot, their eardrums were shattered by the violent explosion. They only felt their heads were muddled, dizzy for a while, and they couldn't even walk steadily.

Naturally, the one who opened fire was the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army who had just arrived near the east exit of the canyon.

Seeing thousands of devils being chased to the exit of the canyon like ducks by the independent battalion, the Eighth Route Army soldiers of the independent regiment pulled the trigger and dropped bombs without hesitation...

Seeing the troops in front of them being attacked, a large group fell down in an instant, and the large army of devils following behind immediately stopped and scattered in all directions, each looking for a cover to avoid.

Soon, Yan Yoshida, the captain of the 33rd Infantry Regiment, found Kazuo Watanabe and reported to him with an ugly face: "Brigade Commander, something is wrong. Our retreat has been cut off by the Eighth Route Army of China!"

"May I ask if we should break through immediately, or stick to it and wait for help?"

Kazuo Watanabe just lost his mind because the observation group was wiped out and worried that he would be sent to a military court, leading to step by step falling into the trap carefully set by Wang Chengzhu. It does not mean that he is an incompetent idiot.

On the contrary, how can someone who can become the head of the brigade of the major general of the Japanese army be an idiot? Almost everyone has excellent strategic vision and tactical guidance ability.

Soon, Kazuo Watanabe observed the current situation rationally, but he did not speak directly, but looked at Yoshida Yan in front of him and asked, "Yoshida-kun, what do you think?"

Yoshida Yan seemed to have an answer in his heart. He thought for a while and said: "Brigade commander, the terrain of Huluxia can be said to be difficult for one man to control, which is very unfavorable to us. As long as the Chinese Eighth Route Army has two heavy machine guns and ammunition If enough, we can easily cut off our retreat.

If we forcefully break through, the warriors of the empire will only die in vain. "

"On the contrary, the Hulu Gorge is narrow and long, and there are many places to hide. As long as the imperial army spreads out and hides, the Eighth Route Army of China on the mountain will not cause too many casualties to us."

"Therefore, we can stand firm and wait for reinforcements until the arrival of reinforcements. At that time, the blocking firepower of the Eighth Route Army of China at the mouth of the canyon will also be self-defeating."

Kazuo Watanabe nodded approvingly: "Yoshida-kun, your analysis is pretty good!

According to the terrain of Huluxia, it is not difficult for us to persist until the arrival of reinforcements.

At that time, not only the blocking firepower of the Eighth Route Army in the canyon will be self-defeating, but we can even unite with reinforcements to encircle the Eighth Route Army and wipe it out in one fell swoop! "

After a pause, Kazuo Watanabe changed his voice and said: "Yoshida-kun, immediately send a power to Yamamoto-kun, explain the situation here to him, and ask him to provide us with tactical guidance immediately!"

Hearing this, Yoshida Yan's face froze suddenly, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at Kazuo Watanabe's eyes, and said weakly: "Brigade commander, our radio station has been damaged in the previous battle. Currently unable to get in touch with the outside…”
