"Yo Xi!" Kentaro Sugihara waved his hand with a gloomy face and said, "I see." Immediately ordered the 3rd Regiment of the Imperial Allied Army to dispatch the 1st Battalion to attack the mountain pass immediately! Mortar squad ready for artillery support! ”.

The Japanese soldier paused and said, "Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo!".

When ordering a battalion of puppet artillery to tentatively storm the mountain pass, Kentaro Sugihara ordered the Japanese troops to supervise the puppet army, and then discussed the military situation with his adjutant Ryota Tomita.

Kentaro Sugihara had people spread out the map of military operations and find the terrain near the Makima River.

"Tomita-kun, it seems that this is the only way to enter the mountain after crossing the Muma River to the south bank! At present, the only way for the Chinese army to enter the mountains here, the topography of the mountain pass in the nameless small basin has set up a blocking line, which is clearly to stop our pursuit! Judging from the map, if we were to make a detour, it would probably take at least half an hour. At that time, Li Yunlong's main force had already disappeared into the mountain! Kentaro Sugihara frowned and looked at the terrain on the map about the south bank of the Muma River, and instantly understood the reason why Li Yunlong set up a blocking position here, and said solemnly to the chief of staff of the brigade, Tomita Ryota.

At this time, Tomita Ryota was dressed in a cloak, thick cotton clothes and cotton pants, wrapped in Tomita Ryota like a small zongzi.

I saw Ryota Tomita pointing to the map and said, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, it is impossible to make a detour, that is the intention of the Heshi Army!" At present, the main force of the Chinese army is estimated to have entered the mountains! At this time, the Chinese army that is blocking the attack in the small basin here, judging from the current gunfire sound, the Chinese army that is blocking the attack is only one or two hundred people, and such a small number of troops, under such terrain conditions, it is not a problem to block the strong attack of the empire's 20,000 army! Due to the terrain, the troops that we can attack head-on are only about a squadron! ”。

Kentaro Sugihara knew what Ryota Tomita meant, but at this time, he had already pursued it so far, and it was impossible to give up. Once it is abandoned, it will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Let's check it out first! Even Li Yunlong's main force had already entered the mountain at this time! At this time, we are bound to stay behind the Chinese army that is blocking the attack!" Kentaro Sugihara waved his hand and said solemnly to Ryota Tomita.

Tomita Ryota immediately knew what Kentaro Sugihara meant, and said, "Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" ”。

Immediately, the two old devils got up, and the large army pressed the troops of the Imperial Association Army into the small basin that was the only way to enter the entrance of the mountain.

At this time, a battalion of 500 people of the Imperial Association Army had launched an attack on a company of Zhou Hua's subordinate troops under the command of Gong Bide, the commander of the puppet army battalion.

The Third Regiment of the Xinkou Imperial Allied Army originally belonged to a certain unit of the Jin Sui Army, with two battalions and a special service battalion under its jurisdiction, among which it was the first battalion and the second battalion that followed Kentaro Sugihara to pursue the new regiment this time.

At this time, the battalion commander Gong Bide was arrogantly under the cover of Japanese grenadiers and mortars, and attacked the Zhou Hua blocking position with very few people.

"Haha, brothers, kill an Eighth Route Army and reward ten oceans! Rush me! Gong Bide stood behind a small dirt slope, and gave a murderous reward, inspiring his two devil soldiers to storm Zhou Hua's blocking position.

The reward of ten oceans is already more than a month's military salary in peacetime, and it is still the ocean, not the banknotes issued by the weak Japanese army.

With this hand, the soldiers of the first battalion of the puppet army who were immediately inspired were like being beaten with chicken blood, and the cat was waist and holding an old-fashioned rifle to attack the forward position in the small basin ahead!

"Bang bang

The soldiers of the Imperial Association Army shot one shot at a time, and even though they couldn't hit it, they had the courage to attack cautiously and advance. Although the reward of ten oceans is good, you have to have a life to enjoy it, after all, the new group on the opposite side is the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army who have continuously made the imperial army uneasy! It's a good fight, but it's a mistake!

At this time, Zhou Hua and Wang Chengzhu, the captain of the artillery team of the new regiment, were lying on the position, and the puppet soldiers who were attacking and advancing on the opposite side were observing with binoculars.

I saw that Zhou Hua ordered his soldiers not to shoot first, and when the puppet soldiers got closer, when they entered the concave terrain, they suddenly fired cross-fire with triangular firepower and killed the puppet army.

"Made, this puppet army really doesn't know whether to live or die! In our previous artillery fire, they had already suffered heavy casualties, and at least more than 20 puppet soldiers had been killed, and they still dared to attack and advance. Damn, this group of puppet soldiers used to be Jin Suijun, and they were so angry with their own families, and they would be soft-footed shrimp when they beat little devils! Made! "Zhou Hua has fought guerrillas in the local area, and for the Imperial Allied Army who assisted the Japanese army in defending the city, he more or less knew the goods of these puppet army troops. Many of them were surrendered Imperial Army, local security forces, etc., as well as bandits and hooligans.

In the face of the attack of the Japanese, these guys who have forgotten their ancestors are soft-footed shrimps, but after taking refuge in the Japanese, they are very diligent in fighting their own families, and it is no wonder that Zhou Hua hates it.

However, Wang Chengzhu said: "It seems that Kentaro Sugihara, the captain of the Japanese army in Xinkou, this old devil, will not easily use his own Japanese troops, this is to use the lives of the puppet soldiers to consume our ammunition!" Lao Zhou, how do you want to fight? ”。

Hearing this, Zhou Hua glanced down at the watch he was carrying on his wrist and looked at the time.

"The order given to us by the regiment commander is that it is best to be able to hold off the Japanese army for about half an hour. With the ammunition in the hands of our troops, it will not be a problem to be able to fight for at least an hour! According to the previous plan, wait for the puppet army to enter the range of the triangular firepower intersection and kill and injure their living forces! We have plenty of ammunition, but we can't afford to waste it! Zhou Hua thought about it and said to Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu said: "Okay, my artillery fire can be ready for shelling at any time." I'll go back to the artillery position, and I'll leave it to you boy!" ”。

"Good!" Zhou Hua nodded and said, and Wang Chengzhu also ran towards the temporary mortar position not far behind.

At this time, Zhou Hua had already seen more than 500 puppet soldiers from the first battalion of the Imperial Army, scattered along both sides of the mountain to attack.

"Brothers, hit me, kill!" Gong Bide, the commander of the first battalion of the Imperial Cooperative Army, was murderous, and the puppet soldiers of the command post headquarters began to speed up the attack and advance with the shell gun in his hand.

Under the strange scream, the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army attacked all the way to the depths of the blocking force commanded by Zhou Hua, but some of the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army had already discovered that something was wrong: Why didn't the Eighth Route Army open fire?

"It's not good, retreat, there's an ambush!" On both sides of the blocking position, many machine guns suddenly appeared, and one by one the muzzles of black holes were aimed at the puppet soldiers attacking below, and suddenly a company commander of the puppet army shouted loudly!
