Chapter 300: The Hunter and the Prey

The continuous bombing did not bring enough confidence to the little devils, the morale of the little devils was gradually declining, every time they approached the position of the squadron, they were faced with fierce firepower, it had been so long, the position had been bombed by them countless times, and the little devils could not understand why the firepower on the Chinese position was still so fierce. E『.*

Another afternoon of indiscriminate bombardment and frenzied attacks, and the little devils once again left countless corpses in front of the position. It was getting dark, there was not the slightest wind in the sky, and the soldiers could tell that it was not the dust and smoke left behind by the bombs, it was almost dark, and the battle was about to end.

The commander of the little devil decided to make a final attack when it was completely dark. At this time, the commander of the little devil is completely betting on his luck, it is better to be able to take the position of the ** person, even if he can't take it, he really can't take it.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the gunfire is getting more and more intense, and the soldiers know that this is the last battle of the day, as long as the little devil is defeated, everything done today is worth it.

"Brothers, rush! Chase the little devils down, and we'll be alive! An officer got up from the trench with a submachine gun and shouted loudly.

Behind him, hundreds of brothers also stood up, and then invariably rushed towards his little devil and made a countercharge. The captives were already red-eyed, and the counter-charge at this time blinded the little devils who had not yet rushed to the front of the position, and they even felt frightened when they looked at the Chinese soldiers who rushed out of the trenches.

The counterattack of the squadron at night made the little devil suffer a lot of losses, and after leaving more than 100 corpses, the little devil retreated in embarrassment. The little devils all know that today they lost the opportunity to win the position of the squadron, but will they be able to win the squadron tomorrow? The answer is not certain.

After the battle, Yan Xuelin was not busy letting the troops retreat, his first order was to let the soldiers bury the corpses of the dead soldiers on the spot, he didn't want to retreat, these corpses would be mended by the little devils.

The second order is to let the soldiers sleep, the soldiers who received the order to sleep are very confused, don't they want to break through tonight, how can they sleep, but after listening to the explanation of the soldiers of the special combat team on the side, they understand that they really need to rest at this time, they have at least twenty miles of mountain roads and more than thirty miles of plains to go, if they hurry up to recover their physical strength, how to race with the little devil's mechanized troops on the plains.

After arranging the artillery and guard posts, Yan Xuelin once again called the top officers of more than a dozen battalions to his side, explained to them the detailed breakthrough plan, and told them that the breakthrough was only necessary to restrain the soldiers under their jurisdiction.

As the minutes passed, some of the fighters had fallen asleep, but most of the fighters were tossing and turning, and some simply sat up and wiped their equipment to prepare for the final breakthrough. In fact, they didn't have anything to prepare, and they had no ammunition when they got out of the rifle, and they didn't have anything else to do. The soldiers don't have to worry about the plan to break out, Yan Xuelin has already divided the troops into several batches, everyone breaks through in batches, if anyone dares to make trouble, the soldiers around them can shoot them at any time, and the soldiers have no objection to this.

In the binoculars, Yan Xuelin looked at the camp of the little devils under the mountain with bright lights, and the little devils are also people, and they also need to rest. After dinner, the little devil arranged the patrol and was ready to sleep. Looking at the little devil's bright camp, Yan Xuelin wanted to give the little devil a round of shells, but Yan Xuelin held back, he didn't forget his most important task today.

And the little devil commander in the little devil's tent dragged his tired body, and was not in a hurry to sleep, and this afternoon he had already received an order from the higher command, and it was this order that made him desperate to attack one last time when it was dark.

Tonight is destined to be an inevitable night, the commander of the little devil sits in front of the map and is unwilling to sleep, he believes that the squadron will break through tonight, as for whether it is the route planned by the higher command, he is not sure, but what he wants to do is that when the squadron breaks through, they must immediately pounce, and then eat the squadron, to wash away the shame left by this captive force during the day today.

The commander of the little devil kept looking at his watch, he didn't know when the squadron would break through, now what he needed was to wait quietly, as long as he heard the slightest movement, he would immediately gather troops and rush to the forward position, and then continue to pursue the fleeing Chinese.

I don't know how long it took, the commander of the little devil fell asleep in a daze, and in his dream he was holding his command knife to cut off the head of a medium ** person, and the middle ** person looked at him with a strange look from beginning to end, that kind of look made him uncomfortable, and when he cut off his head, he felt that the whole person was relaxed.

"Boom Boom"

The sound of the explosion came to the tent of the Japanese commander from the other side of Xiaohua Mountain, and the Japanese commander suddenly came to his senses and shouted at the soldiers outside the tent: "Order the troops to assemble, the squadron is breaking through." ”

At this time, it was already late at night, as for the specific time, Yan Xuelin didn't know, his watch was blown up when he hit the little devil plane, and the time for them to break through was set at half past eleven, at eleven o'clock, Yan Xuelin saw through the binoculars that most of the Japanese troops under the mountain were already asleep, so he ordered the troops to break through.

The vanguard is in charge of a squadron leader of the special combat team, and when he approaches the camp of the little devils, he leads a force of nearly 500 people to open the way with grenades, and concentrates his forces to insert into the middle of the little devils, while the artillery is responsible for covering the two flanks of the vanguard behind them.

The machine guns spewed tongues of fire in the darkness, and the fire after the explosion of the shells turned the night into day, and the little devils only saw a group of fierce men rushing towards them in clothes that could not cover their bodies, and then the whole camp was in chaos.

After they broke into the camp of the little devils, the special combat team immediately ordered the follow-up troops of the vanguard to move to the flanks and widen the gap that had just been broken through. The little devil's camp fell into a sea of fire, and from the firelight, Chu Pengtian saw that the vanguard had opened the encirclement, and he immediately followed with the wounded, followed by the artillery who was responsible for covering, then Yan Xuelin with a large army, and finally the three leaders behind the hall.

Such a huge force, under the leadership of the vanguard troops, quickly tore a big hole in the encirclement of the little devils, and after the vanguard broke out of the two miles, the three leaders behind the palace broke out of the encirclement of the little devils, of course, the three leaders of the three groups were not trapped in the encirclement by relying on the cooperation of artillery.

After the artillery unit rushed out of the two miles, they suddenly stopped and no longer fled for their lives, but set up their artillery to charge at a distance of about 500 meters on both sides of the gap they had just rushed out and bombarded indiscriminately.

Just half an hour after the squadron broke through, the commander of the little devil chased after him with his troops, looking at such a tragic scene, the commander of the little devil sighed that the squadron was not breaking through from the direction where they were, such fierce firepower, even if he took all the troops, he might not be able to block the squadron, and he finally understood why he didn't take the position of the squadron in one day.

The special combat team and the prisoners who broke out of the encirclement helped each other out of the woods, and the three leaders showed a special situation, that is, there was a Japanese army that followed them closely, neither attacking them nor retreating, and just kept a distance from them, like a hunter staring at his prey.

"Sir, I have something to say." A soldier ran to the side of the third team leader, this soldier's clothes all over his body had been torn into strips of cloth, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly in the dark, but he was of medium stature, his body was a little thin, and he was able to insist on following the large army to come here, which was a great test for a person like him who was not very strong.

"Don't you know that the marching army is not allowed to speak?" The leader of the three groups scolded.

The scolding of the third team leader did not stop the soldier from continuing to speak, but the words he had just said made the three team leaders and the soldiers who followed them break out in a cold sweat,

"What do you say! You repeat? The third team leader looked at the thin soldier in front of him in disbelief, he wanted to prove that he had heard it wrong, or that the thin soldier in front of him was talking nonsense.

"There's an ambush ahead!" The emaciated soldier repeated the words again firmly.

The third team leader believed that he had heard it correctly this time, it must be this guy talking nonsense, but he still wanted to know why this guy was talking nonsense: "How did you know that there was an ambush ahead?" ”

"Judging from the behavior of the little devil troops behind us, they neither pursue nor retreat, just like hunters staring at their prey, if there is no trap waiting for us ahead, they must have attacked us, if I were the commander of the little devils, they would definitely not let us out."

The third team leader listened to the analysis of the thin soldiers, which made sense, but if the little devil in front had already set up the trap, the vanguard would definitely know, but there was no news for such a long time.

"Sir, if you were the commander of the little devils, would you let us go easily?" The emaciated soldier continued.

"Xiao Zhang, tell Captain Yan about the situation analyzed by this soldier and the current situation of our troops, and remind him to be careful that there is an ambush ahead." The leader of the third group ordered a soldier beside him and asked him to tell Yan Xuelin about the situation immediately.

In the darkness of the night, the vanguard marched very quickly, and in two more hours they could reach safety. At this time, the location of their vanguard was a place called Scorpion Gully.
