Okabe Shaozo only hesitated slightly, and then said, "Chase!" Chase, of course! And we must completely eliminate this group of eight ways. If they are let go this time, maybe they will take advantage of the unpreparedness of the imperial army and break through the loophole, and we will completely wipe out the Tuba Road in the Jilu region this time and eliminate the future troubles forever. So they must not be let go. ”

"Hello! His Excellency Shao Zuo is wise. The little devil hurriedly replied.

Okabe Shaozo ordered with a serious face: "Immediately send orders to all squadrons, leave a small number of troops to continue to guard the important intersections, and immediately concentrate the main force to pursue this Tubalu with all their might, be sure to annihilate it in one fell swoop, and fight quickly." ”

"Hello!" The little devil hurriedly answered, turned around and went to deliver the order.

……

After Zhou Wenxuan ran out of the road with the troops, he couldn't help but stop and asked casually, "Did the little devil catch up?" ”

A soldier in the back hurriedly replied: "The little devil should have caught up." ”

Zhou Wenxuan also saw the traces of devils in the distance at this time, but the distance was still far away, and he could only see dozens of little devils, as for whether there were more little devils behind, I don't know.

Zhou Wenxuan frowned and said: "No matter, we will be in front of our blocking position, everyone will immediately withdraw into the position and teach these little devils a good lesson." ”

"Yes!" The warriors responded in unison.

Sure enough, there was a dirt slope not far ahead, standing in the middle of the plain like a huge earth tomb, and the highest part of the soil slope was only about seven or eight meters high, showing an irregular circle, with a diameter of about seventy or eighty meters.

The slope is covered with trees, and the terrain is very conducive to defense.

Moreover, Zhou Wenxuan's third squadron had arrived here last night and built simple fortifications here, which were enough to withstand the attack of the Japanese army on a large scale in accordance with the local terrain.

Because the speed of the little devil's advance was too slow, and it was scattered, Liu Hong sent Zhou Wenxuan and them to lure the enemy, the purpose was to lure the little devil over, and at the same time try to concentrate this group of little devils, so that the martial arts team could wipe them out.

It's not just Okabe Shaozo who wants to fight quickly, Liu Hong doesn't want to waste time, he wants to deal with this group of little devils in the shortest possible time, even if he can't wipe them all out, at least he must completely defeat them, so as to lure the little devils from other directions to come over for reinforcements.

Zhou Wenxuan led the soldiers to quickly rush up the dirt slope, met with the soldiers left behind, and rushed to their respective positions to prepare for battle.

The little devil chased a few hundred meters away, and suddenly stopped, and a devil lieutenant in the lead, holding a telescope to observe, found that the high ground in front of him was quiet, and he couldn't even see a human shadow.

"Yaga!" The devil lieutenant scolded angrily, "Could it be that those damn dirt roads have slipped away from behind the high ground?" "The high ground is not big, but it can also block some of the view.

A little devil next to him hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Tubalu has always been very cunning, we must not be careless. The vegetation in the high ground ahead was dense, and perhaps those cunning dirt roads were hiding in the grass and waiting to sneak up on the imperial army. ”

"Yo Xi! You're right. The devil lieutenant nodded and said, "It's always right to be careful, order the first squad to advance in a skirmish line, and the second and third squadrons to outflank from the left and right flanks respectively. ”

Zhou Wenxuan was wearing a straw hat on his head, lying in a trench, secretly observing the situation outside, and saw that the little devil was slowly approaching in a straggler line, and there were little devils on both sides who were detouring to the two wings of the high ground.

Zhou Wenxuan couldn't help frowning, and said softly: "I didn't expect this little devil to be so cautious. ”

"I think these dogs are scared of us." A soldier next to him whispered.

According to the plan, the third squadron originally wanted to fight the little devils by surprise, and first killed a group of little devils, but I didn't expect the little devils to be fooled at all, so the plan of the third squadron fell through.

Zhou Wenxuan frowned and pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Sharpshooters shoot freely and snipe the little devils." ”

The little devils are slowly approaching in a skirmish line, and each little devil is separated by a distance of more than ten or even twenty meters, so that the machine gun fire is difficult to play a big role, but can only waste bullets in vain.

As for using a grenade, putting the little devil close before hitting it, it is even more useless, and it is estimated that a few grenades may not be able to kill a little devil.

Ammunition is quite precious for the Eighth Route Army, and naturally it can't be consumed in vain, so Zhou Wenxuan just ordered the sharpshooters to shoot freely and snipe the little devils.

Because the devils are relatively scattered, and the little devils on the front have only one squad at most, and a few sharpshooters are completely able to block their attacks, not to mention that there are more than a dozen people in the sharpshooter group of the third squadron, these people are the best marksmanship fighters, and after Liu Hong's personal guidance, they have undergone special training, although they cannot be compared with those elite snipers, but it is more than enough to deal with these ordinary little devils.

With Zhou Wenxuan's order, crisp gunshots rang out one after another, and several little devils were shot and fell to the ground one after another.

In less than a minute, ten people died of the little devil, and the devil's machine gun fired frantically at the high ground, trying to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, but to no avail.

In desperation, the leader of the devil squad who took the lead in the attack could only order the troops to retreat, but when they retreated, five little devils were killed.

"Bagaya Road~!" The devil lieutenant who was watching the battle in the rear scolded angrily: "I didn't expect these hateful dirt roads to be so difficult to deal with. ”

"Your Excellency Lieutenant, from this point of view, these Tu Balu must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army." A warrant officer next to him spoke.

"Do you still need you to remind me?" The devil lieutenant said coldly.

At this moment, a little devil ran over, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Excellency Lieutenant, the troops who have made a detour from both flanks have not found that Tuba Road is fleeing south. ”

"In other words, all those hateful dirt roads are now hiding in this high ground." The devil lieutenant asked with a frown.

"Hello!" The little devil hurriedly answered.

The devil lieutenant frowned and said, "What do these hateful dirt roads want to do? They actually had the courage to stop, could they still dare to confront the imperial army head-on with their little people? ”

At this time, a little devil next to him spoke: "Guessing with humble duties, these Tubalu don't know the strength of the imperial army at all, so they have such courage. ”

The devil lieutenant nodded and said: "That's not bad, they originally wanted to quietly drill out of the encirclement of the imperial army, and the sudden encounter with the imperial army was an accident at all, this Tubalu is a scattered remnant, lack of intelligence sources, how can we know our specific strength!" In this way, we were given a chance. ”

"Hello! Your Excellency Lieutenant is wise. The devil warrant officer hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Shao Zuo has already led the main force to come to support, and when the time comes, these stupid dirt roads will just put on their wings, and they will never want to escape from the encirclement of the imperial army again." ”
