I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 177 Get rid of them all, welcome to join the independent brigade!
At the gate of the village, Chen Qifeng, Yue Tieshan and others were anxious about the evacuation of the Japanese.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the front and said, "Demon, the devil is here again."

Everyone looked up one after another, and they saw the devils coming on foot attacking the crowd.

Yue Tieshan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Xu Qingfeng, who was still calm and composed. The Japanese's actions were actually what he expected.

However, Xu Qingfeng raised the medium-sized rifle in his hand again, and ordered in a deep voice: "The devil's attack is about to start, everyone is ready to fight!"

"Yes!" Chen Qifeng, Wang Tiezhu and other officers and soldiers of the independent brigade at the gate of the village took orders in unison.

At the same time, Oshima Hirano also took two adjutants, escorted by more than 20 cavalry, and turned back following the more than 400 cavalry advancing on foot.

However, at a distance of 800 meters from the village gate, they spontaneously stopped, raised their binoculars and began to observe the progress of the battlefield situation.

It wasn't that Oshima Hirano didn't want to go any further, it was because he was afraid of Xu Qingfeng's superb marksmanship and was afraid of being named and killed.

Oshima Hirano handed over the offensive troops to the command of a squadron leader named Captain Yamada, who personally led the attack on the mountain stronghold.

Since the devils are all cavalry, they are not equipped with heavy firepower such as mortars and heavy machine guns.

Only a small number of light machine guns and grenades are equipped as fire support equipment.

As a result, they were unable to cover the cottage with artillery fire before attacking like other Japanese troops.

At least until they enter the 300-meter range, their grenade can't be effective.

Therefore, Captain Yamada could only divide the troops in his hands into two teams, the front and the back. The first team consisted of more than 100 people to form the vanguard attacking force, and rushed straight towards the entrance of the cottage with a gun in hand.

The remaining 300 or so people, led by himself, followed up, preparing to wait for the front team to attract the firepower of the defenders on the mountain stronghold and expose them.

Then use grenades and machine guns to precisely suppress it, and then the whole team presses up to take down the cottage in one go.

At the gate of the village, more than 100 devils, armed with bayonet-mounted Type [-] riding rifles, swarmed over.

Soon, they entered the ambush circle of the No. 1 Infantry Squadron outside, and Chen Qifeng couldn't help but ask for instructions: "Captain, can you let the No. 1 Squadron open fire?"

Xu Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let them come over, let us resist, and let Sun Kui and the others open fire after the main devils behind follow up!"

"Yes!" Chen Qifeng responded, and immediately sent someone to convey Xu Qingfeng's order to the 1st Infantry Squadron outside.

The devils approached, and the messengers could not get out of the stronghold, so they used the order flag to convey the order to the No. 1 Squadron.

Leading the officers and soldiers of the No. 1 Squadron in ambush outside the cottage, Sun Kui, who was on the woods and hillsides on both sides, did not give the order to fire after receiving the order.

Let the vanguard of the devils pass through their ambush circle.

When more than a hundred Japanese soldiers from the devil's vanguard rushed to about 50 meters from the gate of the cottage, Xu Qingfeng immediately ordered to open fire: "Hit me!"

After he pulled the trigger, a Japanese sergeant who was leading the attack more than 40 meters away was shot in the head and fell down.

The officers and soldiers of the guard platoon, reconnaissance platoon, and machine gun squadron who had been preparing for a long time in the cottage opened fire one after another.

The heavy machine guns deployed at the commanding heights on both sides of the cottage also roared one after another.

Mortars and grenade launchers also opened fire one after another. In an instant, the entire cottage was full of guns and shells, and bullets rained down.

More than a hundred of the Japs' vanguard troops could not even get close to the village gate before they were harvested and felled in pieces like grass and mustard.

Seeing this, Captain Yamada, who was following up with the main force behind, couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "Baga, the Chinese army is so powerful?"

However, he was shocked, and he reacted quickly. He pulled out his saber and swung it forward, ordering sharply: "The grenades and light machine guns are responsible for suppressing the firepower. The others charge quickly to support the vanguard ahead! Kill Quack!" "

"Kill it!"

"Go! Kill!"

More than 300 main cavalry of the Japanese army roared and rushed forward.

However, when they rushed to a position about 200 meters away from the village gate.

On the hillsides and woods on both sides of the silence, suddenly there was a burst of gunfire, and countless hot bullets roared and shot out from the woods and hillsides.

Coupled with the frontal fire coverage of the defenders, their Japanese army was immediately caught in a crossfire attack encircled on three sides.

Covered by the intensive firepower of the Independent Battalion, the Japanese troops who were charging fell down in pieces.

Oshima Hirano, who was the last to watch the battle, saw this scene, his pupils tightened, and he was shocked and said: "Baga, is there an ambush?"

The two adjutants next to him were also taken aback, and one of them even put down his binoculars, and hurriedly suggested to Oshima Hirano: "Sir, the enemy has long been prepared, and it is not appropriate to continue attacking. Please order the troops to withdraw immediately!"

Oshima Hirano was horrified and nodded in agreement: "Immediately order them to stop attacking and withdraw, quickly!"

Behind him, a ghost cavalryman carrying a command flag, quickly stepped forward to deliver the order.

However, at this moment, the artillery of the independent brigade in the mountain village had already locked onto the Japanese grenadiers and machine gunners by adjusting the firing angle.

Boom boom boom... With a burst of shells whistling, they flew out of the cottage and fell into the positions of the machine guns and grenadiers in the rear of the Japanese army.

Immediately, the devil's machine gunners and grenadiers responsible for covering the attack were blown to pieces, causing heavy casualties.

In addition, the smoke generated by the explosion also blocked the line of sight between the Japanese attacking troops and the messengers in the rear.

As a result, Captain Yamada and the others failed to receive the order to retreat in time.

Without an order, the remaining Japanese troops could only continue to attack forward.

Under the joint intensive firepower of the independent brigade and the bandits, they almost rushed up and fell down one by one.

By the time the order to retreat was received, more than half of the nearly [-] Japanese cavalrymen had been killed and injured.

Seeing the devils start to retreat, Yue Tieshan, who was shocked by the battle in front of him, couldn't help jumping up, and shouted to Xu Qingfeng: "Mr. Xu, the little devils have retreated!"

Xu Qingfeng immediately stood up with a gun and ordered sternly: "Everyone, fix your bayonets, blow the charge horn, and fight back across the board!"

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

Some officers and soldiers of the guard platoon, reconnaissance platoon and machine gun squadron shouted in unison, followed Xu Qingfeng and rushed down the wall of the village, rushed out of the village, and launched a counter-charge against the retreating Japanese army.

Under the sound of the passionate charging horn, Yue Tieshan and Dao Scar looked at each other, and said with a heartbeat: "Go, let's rush down too, fuck it!"

As a result, dozens of bandits who did not fire their guns rushed out of the stronghold under their leadership.

There was no way, the performance of Xu Qingfeng and the independent team was too impactful for them.

In front of them, the devils were like mud, completely vulnerable.

This encouraged them greatly. At this moment, they just wanted to charge and kill the enemy together, and beat the dogs in the water.

Of course, they can't do without following the charge.

Because not all of the independent brigade went out, Wang Tiezhu still took the main force of the machine gun squadron and stayed at the gate of the village and the commanding heights on both sides.

In the cottage, there were also artillery from the Independent Battalion, and then extended the bombardment to the Japanese army.

At about the same time that Xu Qingfeng and the others had just rushed out of the cottage, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Squadron were ambushing in the woods on both sides of the mountainside outside the cottage, as well as dozens of bandits who had been temporarily assigned to come in and fired their guns.

Under the leadership of Sun Kui and others, they all roared in unison at the same time, scrambling to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japs were subjected to an extended bombardment by the mortars of the Independent Brigade. Their flesh and blood were blown everywhere, and they were turned upside down.

Therefore, they were unable to withstand the independent counterattack across the board and could only scramble to escape in a hurry.

When Oshima Hirano saw his subordinates, he also saw the officers and soldiers of the independent brigade who were following them and covering up the mountains and plains, as well as the bandits.

An adjutant panicked and hurriedly advised: "Sir, the matter has come to this, retreat quickly."

"Baga Ya Road!" Although Oshima Hirano was very reluctant, but the defeat was certain, he could only yell angrily, and took the lead in evacuating on horseback with more than 20 guards and two adjutants.

The main force led by Captain Yamada did not have such good luck.

They were chased all the way by Xu Qingfeng and others, and they had no chance to retreat on horseback.

In the end, Xu Qingfeng and the others caught up with them and wiped them all out at the foot of the mountain.

Of the more than 500 Japanese cavalry main forces, only Oshima Hirano led more than 20 cavalry escaped by chance, and the rest were all wiped out.

What made Oshima Plains collapse the most was that not only the more than 500 elite cavalry under his command were wiped out.

The more than 500 war horses they were riding could not be withdrawn, let alone killed.

There is a high probability that they will all fall into the hands of the Chinese army.

On the independent brigade's side, just after the battle ended, Yue Tieshan, who was bloodied all over, came to Xu Qingfeng excitedly.

In the battle just now, he had witnessed the power of Xu Qingfeng. He was in the crowd of Japanese soldiers with one rifle and one man, and he was like no one in the crowd. He successively overturned more than ten Japanese soldiers, including a captain officer.

"Mr. Xu, your might of the tiger, I have completely convinced you this time. To be honest, I, Yue, have been in the army for more than ten years, but I have never convinced anyone in hand-to-hand combat.

You are the first! "

Xu Qingfeng put his gun away and stood, turned his head to look at Yue Tieshan. In the battle just now, he also saw this guy cut down four or five devils and defeated them in a row.

This is also normal, if he doesn't have some real skills, how could he become the head of the hundred people and take the top spot in the cottage.

So he smiled and extended his right hand to him. Yue Tieshan asked obviously confused: "Sir Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Shake hands before we talk."

Yue Tieshan stretched out his hand to shake Xu Qingfeng's hand with some anxiety, only to hear Xu Qingfeng say: "Welcome to join the independent brigade."

Yue Tieshan understood that this meant that Xu Qingfeng recognized and accepted his nomination certificate.

So he laughed happily, smiled, and suddenly remembered something, hurriedly let go, stood upright, raised his right hand and solemnly saluted Xu Qingfeng: "Humble Yue Tieshan, thank you, Commander Xu, for accepting him! "

Xu Qingfeng nodded, and said: "Yue Tieshan, I will give you a chance to redeem your crimes. I hope you will fight the enemy bravely in the future and don't do anything that violates military discipline. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Yes, please rest assured, Chief Xu. I will change my mind from my humble position, start a new life, and atone for the Japanese aggressors I killed." Yue Tieshan immediately expressed his stance.

At this time, Sun Kui suddenly ran over with a pistol in his face excitedly, and reported to Xu Qingfeng excitedly without paying attention to the salute: "Captain, we have made a fortune!"

"Oh?" Xu Qingfeng didn't expect it and asked, "How do you get rich?"

"War horses, more than 500 war horses, all of them were captured by us." Sun Kui said with a smile on his face.

"Oh." Xu Qingfeng nodded suddenly and said: "I forgot about this, it's really rich, with these war horses.

Not only can we form a real cavalry unit, but the mobility of the unit will also be greatly enhanced! "

"Yes." Sun Kui nodded excitedly.

"In this way, you should immediately send someone to gather up all the horses so that nothing goes wrong." Xu Qingfeng instructed immediately.

"Yes!" Sun Kui saluted, turned around excitedly and ran to take orders and leave.

"Mr. Xu, congratulations, more than 500 war horses, this is really a fortune." Yue Tieshan was born in Fengjun, so he naturally knew what more than 500 war horses meant.

Xu Qingfeng turned his head and smiled half-jokingly, "You still call me Officer Xu?"

"Oh, Captain!" Yue Tieshan quickly stood up again and corrected himself.

"Go and clean the battlefield. Clean the battlefield as soon as possible. The bodies of the brothers who died must also be collected." Xu Qingfeng smiled and waved his hand.

"Yes!" Yue Tieshan responded, turned and walked away.

An hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up.

This time, the Independent Brigade not only seized more than 500 war horses, but also seized more than 500 complete sets of cavalry equipment and a large amount of ammunition.

The losses suffered by the Independence Brigade and the bandits were not large. More than ten veterans of the Independence Brigade were killed and only 30 were injured.

More than 20 bandits died and more than a dozen were injured. Most of the dead were old, weak, sick and disabled.

After cleaning the battlefield, Xu Qingfeng formally recruited more than 70 bandits, including Yue Tieshan and Scarface, and added them to the No. 1 Squadron, Reconnaissance Platoon, Guard Platoon, and Machine Gun Squadron respectively.

Among them, Yue Tieshan and Scarface were added to the guard platoon. Naturally, this was done to facilitate surveillance and prevent accidents.

Although they participated in this battle, Xu Qingfeng could not completely trust them.

And after the addition of the bandits this time, the troops around Xu Qingfeng increased instead of falling, and reached 300 people again.

In addition to the increase in personnel and equipment, the more than 20 catties of grain and a batch of gold and silver treasures hidden by Yue Tieshan and the others were all taken over by the independent brigade.

Xu Qingfeng used more than 500 captured war horses to carry all the grain away.

The seized weapons and equipment were also carried by the officers and soldiers of each squadron, company and platoon. They burned the stronghold, buried the bodies of the sacrificed officers, soldiers and bandits, and quickly evacuated the area.
