Chapter 208 Eight ways are cunning and cunning!
During the next journey, the devil was harassed several times by the cavalry battalion with mortars.

But the devil didn't care, just kept his head on his way.

After all, the walking speed of cattle and sheep cannot compare with the speed of devils' marching.

Devils can travel seven kilometers in one hour on a quick march, but they can only travel four to five kilometers when driving cattle and sheep.

After walking for a distance of more than ten kilometers, seeing that the cattle and sheep did not step on the mines, the devils thought that the Eighth Route Engineers had run away early.

So the devils drove the cattle, sheep and ordinary people aside, and resumed the state of marching in a hurry. As a result, they only walked one kilometer and stepped on a landmine.

These are anti-infantry S mines, bouncing Betty, very powerful, and a devil will be blown up as soon as he steps on them.

The exasperated devils put the common people and cattle and sheep in front to explore the way.

What surprised the devils was that the cattle, sheep and common people couldn't step on the landmines once they were on the road, so the little devils no longer dared to march unscrupulously.

Sun Desheng saw that with the devil's marching speed, it was possible to pass Moshiwa by nightfall, but not Liao County.

The mission Li Yunlong gave him was very clear, neither let the devil walk too fast nor too slow, and control the speed of the devil so that he could arrive near Moshiwa when it was dark.

Sun Desheng decided to ambush the devil once.

At that moment, Sun Desheng called Cao Jiang and several cavalry company commanders to him.

"According to the devil's marching speed, we will arrive here in about half an hour."

"Except for the first time, the devils didn't send troops to chase after us in the next few mortar attacks, and just walked forward."

"According to the devil's current marching speed, we may not be able to complete the task."

Cao Jiang, the commander of the company, asked: "Then what should we do?"

Second Company Commander: "If we fight Gou Ri's, at least we can hold the devil for more than an hour, so the mission will definitely be completed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Second Company Commander received a blow on the head from Sun Desheng.

"Second company commander, the regimental commander usually taught you not to fight dumbly, not to fight to the death. You fucking didn't listen to it at all."

"Commander, what do you think we should do?" the second company commander asked in a muffled voice.

Sun Desheng's eyes were fierce: "Ambush against devils, if you fail once, you will come twice, if you fail twice, you will come three times."

"The advantage of our cavalry is that it is highly mobile, and we can leave with a single shuttle, and the devils can't catch up even if they want to."

"The devil has about 100 cavalrymen. If the devil cavalry dare to chase after them, we will eat them."

"I observed it when I came here. There is a dirt slope about 3 kilometers ahead, which is suitable for ambushes."

"set off!"

Several cavalry company commanders shouted: "Yes!"

In less than 10 minutes, the cavalry battalion came to the slope that Sun Desheng mentioned.

The soil slope is two or three meters higher than the road, and it is about 130 meters away from the road. This soil slope is not very long, only about 300 meters.

More importantly, there is a suitable evacuation route here.

After the general's horses were tied up, Sun Desheng led the cavalry battalion to lie in ambush on the slope.

The engineering platoon, equipped with military horses and following the cavalry battalion, hurriedly dug pits and buried landmines in front of the slope.

This time the landmines were not buried on the road, but between the road and the slope. Once the guns were fired, the devils would definitely attack and step on the landmines.

After the mines were buried and the camouflage was done, everyone lay down behind the slope and held their breath, waiting for the devils to arrive.

About an hour later, the devils were long overdue.

The devil scouts escorted the common people, and the common people drove the flock of sheep, walking slowly from the road.

Behind the Devil scout followed a Devil three-wheeler and a Devil truck, each with a crooked light machine gun mounted on the three-wheeler and the truck.

The main force of the devils was 300 meters away from the flock, led by more than 100 devil cavalry, followed by a brigade of light infantry, including armored vehicles, tanks and trucks.

Equipped with heavy firepower such as mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars and heavy machine guns.

This is an elite infantry regiment. Although its combat effectiveness is not as good as the infantry regiment of the permanent divisions of the Japanese army, this regiment can easily defeat a division of the national army.

In Zhongtiao Mountain, Lao Jiang's 20 Central Army was overwhelmed by the devil's 3 divisions with less than 6 people.

Sun Desheng let the devil scouts and ordinary people go, and waited until the main force of the devil entered the ambush position.

"Fire!"

Seeing this situation, Sun Desheng made a decisive decision and ordered an attack.

The 6 mortars fired first, and there was a muffled bang.

boom boom boom…

Explosions continued to rise on the road, and the devils who were marching were blown upside down.

The gunfire crackled like popping beans. Although the cavalry battalion was not equipped with Maxim, the Czech light machine gun was also equipped to the squad.

More than [-] light machine guns sprayed out long tongues of flame, and machine gun bullets shot towards the devils like raindrops.

Moreover, the soldiers in the cavalry battalion were all replaced with semi-automatic rifles, and the individual firepower was several times stronger than before.

The 10 rifle has a rate of fire of 15-30 rounds per minute in combat, while the Garand rifle has a rate of fire of 40-[-] rounds in combat.

The bazooka soldiers carried the bazooka to look for the devil's tanks, armored vehicles or devil trucks to shoot, and if they couldn't find it, they fired rockets at places where there were many devils.

At this moment, the cavalry battalion fired far more firepower than an infantry regiment.

The huge power and explosion sound made the devil think he was attacked by a 105 howitzer.

Da da da…

A dense rain of bullets, coupled with the attack of mortars and bazooka rockets, immediately killed and injured the devils on the road within the range of the ambush.

Far away on the road, inside an armored vehicle.

"Your Excellency, the vanguard of the army was attacked by the enemy, and the firepower is very strong. Judging by the firepower, the enemy's strength is estimated to be no less than a regiment."

A combat staff officer reported to Takeji Zhenme sitting in the armored vehicle.

"A regiment?"

"A regiment dares to attack my 225th Regiment?"

Zhenmu Wuzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, he couldn't figure out the purpose of the Eighth Route Army for a while, maybe this was a conspiracy?

But after thinking about it, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is futile.

"Order the first brigade to counterattack and destroy this enemy!"

"Scouts spread their reconnaissance to the two wings to see if there are any enemies around!"

During the words, the killing intent was awe-inspiring.

"Hi!"

The combat staff officer turned around and ordered the semaphore soldiers to give orders.

The devil's reaction was also very quick. A burst of grenades fell on the position of the cavalry battalion in a hurry, and the devil's machine gunner set up a light and heavy machine gun and fired at the position of the cavalry battalion.

Farther away, the devils began to build mortar and mountain artillery positions.

2 Little Douding devil tanks are coming this way.

"The devil is impatient?"

Sun Desheng immediately smiled.

This is what he wants.

"retreat!"

Sun Desheng didn't love fighting at all, and loudly issued an order to retreat.

After hearing the order, the cavalry turned around with their weapons in hand and withdrew from the ambush position in an orderly manner.

After running to the horse post at 100 meters away, he untied the reins and got on the horse, and then ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.

Not long after the cavalry battalion left, the devil's grenades, mortar shells, and mountain shells fell in groups and began to sweep across the cavalry battalion's position.

Seeing that the eight roads in the ambush were silent.

"The artillery fire has destroyed the enemy's position. The [-]st Tank Detachment, the [-]nd Infantry Squadron are attacking from the front, and the [-]st Infantry Squadron is attacking from the left."

The captain of the first brigade, Koizumi Tazawa, ordered with a blank face.

He only sent two squadrons to attack at a time. After all, with the combat power of eight routes, even if the opponent had one regiment, he was vulnerable to two tanks and two squadrons of warriors.

The devils spread out in skirmish lines, followed the tanks with rifles in their hands, and rushed towards the abandoned position of the cavalry battalion.

Not being attacked, the devil's attack was very fast, almost running forward.

boom boom boom…

A few unlucky devils stepped on landmines in the front, and a large area of ​​devils were blown down in an instant, and they were frightened and fell to the ground.

Seeing no movement, the devil got up from the ground and continued to run forward.

boom boom boom…

Another unlucky devil stepped on a landmine, and the devil was blown down a large area.

Stepping on a landmine for the third time, the Devil Squadron attacking from the front paid the price of dozens of casualties, and the attacking troops on the left flank arrived at the cavalry battalion position.

But at this time, there was not even half a person on the cavalry battalion, only bomb craters and gunpowder smoke everywhere.

The leader of the Devil Squadron picked up the binoculars and saw the horse manure 100 meters away and the dust cloud hundreds of meters away, his face turned livid.

"Baga... pressure the road!"

……

Chief Takeji Zhenme stood beside the armored vehicle to observe the battlefield situation.

Surrounded by a group of adjutants, staff officers and guards.

Koizumi Tazawa trotted up to Zhenmu Wuzhi, and suddenly said: "Report to Commander, it is a group of Eighth Route cavalry that attacked us, with a force of about one cavalry battalion."

"A cavalry battalion?"

"How are the casualties?"

Zhenmu Wuzhi frowned slightly and asked.

"There were no less than 200 casualties!" Koizumi Tazawa reported.

"Nani, more than 200 casualties?"

Zhenmu Wuzhi's face suddenly became a little ugly.

He hasn't paid much attention to being harassed all the time, but this time he was attacked and killed more than 200 people, which made him feel very aggrieved.

The elite of the Imperial Japanese Army could easily defeat a division of the Chinese Army on the frontal battlefield, but here they lost a squadron without even touching the hair of the Eight Route Army.

Are you angry, very angry, but there is nothing you can do.

"Report to Colonel, the scouts have reported that we have not found any enemies on our flanks."

The combat staff reported to Zhenmu Wuzhihui.

The corner of Zhenmu Wuzhi's mouth couldn't help twitching when he heard the words, at this moment he suddenly had an impulse in his heart, he really wanted to find a face to slap him.

The palm trembled twice, Zhenmu Wuzhi finally endured it, the most important thing now is to hurry up, not to slap the subordinate.

"Where are we now?" Zhenmu Wuzhi asked.

"Boss, there are still [-] kilometers ahead to reach Heshun County." The combat staff officer said.

"Later, hand over the remains of the wounded and dead soldiers to the Heshun County Gendarmerie."

"Koizumi-kun, you can handle this matter."

"Hai!" Koizumi Dorze nodded.

By the time the devils finished cleaning the battlefield and continued on the road with the dead bodies and wounded soldiers, half an hour had passed.

When passing through Heshun County, the devils handed over the corpses and wounded soldiers to the devil's defenders in Heshun County, and continued to march forward without stopping for a moment.

Not long after passing Heshun County, the 225th Regiment was suddenly attacked by the cavalry battalion of the Xinyi Regiment, causing more than 100 casualties.

This made Zhenmu Wuzhi miss the days of besieging the Central Army of China in Zhongtiao Mountain in recent years.

The Chinese Central Army is much easier to deal with than the Eighth Route Army.

Eight-way cunning and cunning!
