Time rewind to the evening of this day. Because of the arrival of the devil cavalry, Yang Hongtao had no choice but to lead the team to temporarily withdraw from the highway line. At the same time, the devil cavalry also brought the information back to the headquarters, and Major General Kei Seya had another attack of rabies.

At the Japanese headquarters, Kei Seya reprimanded his subordinates loudly, and his mood was slightly soothed.

An officer boldly said, "Your Excellency, this is not the time to be angry, but to think about how to remedy it."

Kei Seya asked the officer, "Do you have any remedy?"

The officer said: "Send sappers to repair the destroyed road overnight, and order the Yi County Transport Brigade to use mules and horses to transport supplies to the front line from the path. Just in case, explain the situation to the headquarters and ask the Zaozhuang garrison to send supplies to the Jinpu line. Although the distance is a bit farther, a trip takes more than 4 hours, but it is also safe. ”

Seya thought about it again and again, and only agreed to the first two plans, and as for the rescue to the headquarters, he felt that he had lost face, so he refused. Now the brigade has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, after all, there are still two days of supplies to supply.

At this time, Seya Qi didn't know that those life-saving materials had been targeted by Shao Fei.

Yang Hongtao retreated to the whole mountain area to rest, waited for dark, and then set off. The task at night was to sabotage and block all the southbound routes of Yi County.

After dinner, the troops were ready to go. Yang Hongtao decided to ask Deng Zhong to take the people back to the village first, he knew that the action at night was not as simple as destroying the road, and he would have a few encounters with the devils. However, his kindness was rejected by Deng Zhong.

"I ran around with you during the day, and I didn't do anything. Anyway, you have to do something at night, even if it's digging a few big holes in the road. ”

As he spoke, Deng Zhong raised the shovel in his hand and said, "Look, even the guy's business has been borrowed."

Yang Hongtao dissuaded: "Uncle, it is possible that the devil will encounter it at night, and I am afraid that you will be in danger later." Understand, understand our juniors, okay? ”

Deng Zhong smiled: "We don't fight, you do." If you can't fight, we'll run! The black light was blinding, and I couldn't see the figure after a few steps. Your brother, I'm not stupid, I won't fight with these guys and devils. ”

At this time, Wu Jiang walked over, patted Yang Hongtao, and said, "Let's go together." This old brother is a shrewd person at first glance, and he has been hunting all his life and has more experience than you and me. ”

"You've said that, okay then. Let's go. ”

Yang Hongtao still compromised and led the team to the east. He didn't expect Deng Zhong to be the protagonist of the night.

Coming to the middle section from Yixian to Taierzhuang, Yang Hongtao ordered the troops to stop advancing and rest in place. Then, one squad was drawn from each of the Special Service Company and the Sixth Company, equipped with four fast horses, to carry out diffusion reconnaissance to the east, south, west, and north.

There were also roads to the west, which could be passed by trucks, but because of the rugged roads, the Japanese generally did not choose them. But now is an extraordinary period, and it is inevitable that the Japanese army will not take that road.

And there is a small road in the east, Yixian to Taierzhuang in an arc, which can only provide people, unicycles, and mules and horses to pass. Yang Hongtao knew that the Japanese transport brigade had a squadron of mules and horses, so he would not let it go.

If the night is peaceful, then Yang Hongtao's task is to destroy the road in front of him and the road to the west.

"Let's get to work, some of them are busy at night."

Yang Hongtao stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and then sent a guard post to order the troops to sabotage this section of the road.

Not long after the start began, a warrior from the south arrived on a fast horse. After dismounting, he immediately ran to Yang Hongtao, saluted and reported: "Report to the company commander, a large number of devils have been found at the site of our ambush during the day, and they are filling in the soil to repair the road."

Yang Hongtao said: "It's the devil's sapper, how many people are there?"

The soldier replied, "They are guarded all around, and we dare not startle the snakes, but it is expected to be between one hundred and two hundred."

Yang Hongtao sneered and said, "It's really ironic about China's land, we are sabotage, and they have to build roads."

Wu Jiang asked, "What should we do?" Hit? ”

Yang Hongtao replied: "Such a big piece of fat is in your mouth, if you don't eat it, you will be punished by God." But this attack depends on the uncle. ”

Yang Hongtao's words made Deng Zhong on the side hear it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Now that you think of me, do you want me to use a bow and arrow to deal with those sentry."

"Ginger is still old and spicy, so let's go."

As soon as Yang Hongtao's words fell, another fast horse came running from the east. After dismounting, the soldier reported: "A group of mules and horses are transporting supplies from Yixian to the front line."

Yang Hongtao didn't think about it, and immediately decided: "Destroy the sappers first, and grab the supplies."

Wu Jiang felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "I think the materials are important, and the sappers have repaired the road, and we can destroy it."

Yang Hongtao explained: "The mules and horses move slowly at night, and they are in the same direction as us, and we have time at all. Those sappers are busy building roads, and we can catch him by surprise. Although the sapper is not strong in combat, it is worth more than an ordinary soldier. ”

"You're the commander, so I'll listen to you."

"Let's go!"

Yang Hongtao led the team towards the place where the devil was ambushed during the day. When he was about to get close to the devil sentry, Deng Zhong chose more than a dozen archery experts and walked forward in concealment.

There were two sentries in front, and Deng Zhong used his fingers to indicate the target to shoot at each person.

"Whoosh"

More than a dozen bows and arrows were fired at the same time, and several of them penetrated directly through the body due to excessive strength, and the two devil sentries were shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground and died.

Yang Hongtao quickly led the troops to advance in small steps, until they reached the back of the dirt slope that ambushed the devils during the day. The troops quickly dispersed and set up machine guns everywhere.

The devil below is still busy repairing the road, but he doesn't know that death is in front of his nose.

"Hit!"

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

Sixteen machine guns opened fire together. More than a hundred devils were suddenly attacked by two companies, and before they could react, they were already beaten into a sieve, and they didn't even have a chance to wail and call their mothers. To put it bluntly, this is a massacre.

The battle ended in less than ten minutes.

"This shovel is good, very handy." Deng Zhong picked up the military shovel on the ground and said with a smile.

"It's time for the next one, let's go!"

Because of the urgency of time, Yang Hongtao didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, so he led the team to set off.

To deal with the devil's squadron of mules and horses, Deng Zhong suggested attacking with fire, because the beasts were afraid of fire. So the path of the devil's must pass was paved with licorice, originally wanted to use gasoline, but the smell of gasoline was too strong and easy to be discovered by the devil, so gunpowder was chosen.

The soldiers found a large amount of hay to spread on the ground, but not too much, which was easy to make the devil suspicious. Under the hay, a certain amount of gunpowder is placed, which is connected in a straight line. The pungent smell of gunpowder burning can also irritate mules and horses. Another important reason is that the light of the fire allows the warrior to see the enemy clearly.

When everything was ready, the troops quickly dispersed and hid fifty meters west of the path.

After half an hour, the devil's squadron of mules and horses began to pass ahead. Deng Zhong led a dozen archers to light the tarpaulin, and then shot it low.

When the rocket touches the gunpowder, there is a chain reaction, and the whole hay burns quickly because of the gunpowder. This road is like a fiery dragon, entrenched in the earth.

The mule and horse procession was greatly stimulated and ran around screaming.

"Hit!" Yang Hongtao gave an order, and the sound of rushing from the west wrinkled.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Behind the soldiers, sixteen mortar guns were fired, and the artillery fire added light to the dark night. The horse team in front really responded to the idiom: people turn on their backs.

Under the light of the fire, those devils had no shield and became a living target for the soldiers.

"Rush!"

There were not many devils left, and Yang Hongtao launched a charge.

"Kill!" “……”

The killing sound on the west side of the road was shocking, and at a distance of less than fifty meters, the soldiers of the Sixth Company and the Special Service Company quickly rushed to the front and gave the devil the final blow.

Once again, the battle was a complete victory. One night, Yang Hongtao led the team to win the second victory in World War II and successfully blocked the supply line from Yixian to Taierzhuang of the Japanese army. It effectively reduces the pressure on the frontal battlefield.
