Chapter 414: Ambush and Stop the Enemy

"Pursuit! Destroy the Shina Army! ”

The arrival of reinforcements relieved the Tufei Yuan Division of the danger of being encircled and annihilated, but the Japanese army, which had suffered heavy losses, was not ready to give up, and immediately launched a retaliatory pursuit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Japanese army was invincible in the Chinese battlefield, and the Chinese army, which often fought several times the number of times, was defeated for thousands of miles, and they were accustomed to only taking advantage and not suffering losses.

The three elite Japanese divisions pressed on the whole line, with tank cavalry and other mechanized units as the vanguard, and the main infantry force as the backing, in an attempt to annihilate the retreating Chinese army on the Lanfeng battlefield and fight a beautiful counterattack.

In the plain area of North China, the terrain was flat, which was very conducive to the movement of the Japanese mechanized troops, and not long after they retreated, the Japanese pursuers approached them.

"Head Zhang! Brigade Command! Yang Ling and the others were in full swing to transfer and retreat, and a herald rode a scrawny horse to chase after them.

"The little devil caught up, and the brigade commander ordered our regiment to sweep away the tail behind and cover the transfer of the main force of the army."

After reading the handwritten military order, the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, raised his head with a solemn face.

After their regiment captured Maogu Village, they had been resting and serving as a reserve, and before they launched a general attack, the troops retreated on all fronts.

The rest of the fraternal troops had just come down from the battlefield and began to retreat in great strides before they could catch their breath, and they were already exhausted after several days of fierce fighting, so the task of holding back the pursuers fell on the shoulders of their regiment.

The enemy behind this palace has always been a desperate battle, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be gnawed to the scum by the enemy who catches up, and this is a flat plain area, and it is a deadly job, and no one wants to do it.

"Brother Yang, how do you think we will fight this battle?" The regiment commander Zhang Handuo held the warrant stamped with the seal of the brigade headquarters and sighed helplessly.

originally thought that this battle was over, and they could retreat to the rear to repair for a period of time regardless of victory or defeat, but who knew that they would still be fishing for such a life of nine deaths, which was really eight lifetimes of blood mold.

Yang Ling also knew how difficult it was to block the devil's pursuers in this plain area, this was a severe test for them, and if they didn't pay attention to it, they would probably have to leave their lives here.

However, compared to the safe transfer of tens of thousands of brothers in their 74th Army, their thousands of people are insignificant, and as a commander, Yang Ling does not want to sacrifice the lives of his brothers in vain.

Yang Ling thought for a moment and then suggested: "Tuanzao, you take the wounded to withdraw first, and I will bring a battalion of brothers to stay behind to block for a while." ”

"I agree to let the wounded withdraw first, but the brothers who can fight will stay, and the strength of the people will be great, and they can resist for a while longer."

Yang Ling shook his head and said: "This is a plain area, and if there are too many people, it will become a live target for devils, and besides, we can't afford to put the brothers of the entire regiment into it." ”

Zhang Handuo also felt that it made sense after hearing it, but he was worried that the strength of a battalion was too thin and could not stop the pursuit of the devils at all.

"Tuanza, don't worry, as long as the little devils dare to catch up, I guarantee that they will never come back, please believe me." Yang Ling looked at Zhang Handuo hesitantly and opened his mouth murderously.

Looking at Yang Ling's confident look, Zhang Handuo agreed, and advised: "The brigade just asked us to sweep the tail, retreat after defeating the devils, don't fall in love, I'll wait for you in the town ahead." ”

Yang Ling nodded, and asked the deputy battalion commander to smoke the gun and take the only remaining 300 brothers of the third battalion to turn around and walk back, preparing to stop the devil's pursuers.

"Deputy of the regiment, let's just set up a blocking position on the spot, why do you want to go back, what if you run into a devil?"

Captain Company Commander Wang Huzi watched Yang Ling lead the team back, and approached him very suspiciously and asked.

The deputy battalion commander pushed Wang Huzi with a smoking gun and urged: "Huzi, hurry up, where are you talking so much nonsense." ”

Yang Ling, who saw Wang Huzi, was silent and didn't speak, so he closed his mouth stupidly, and followed the team to turn around and walk a few miles with doubts.

"Stop." When he walked to a small river, Yang Ling gestured for the team to stop.

Although the water in this small river is not deep, only more than ten meters wide, it is more suitable for blocking the ghost soldiers who are catching up than the unobstructed plain.

When Wang Huzi saw the flowing river, he immediately understood Yang Ling's intentions, and was about to call the brothers to dig foxholes along the river embankment and prepare to use them as blocking positions, but Yang Ling shook his head.

Without waiting for Wang Huzi to ask, Yang Ling had already begun to assign tasks: "Wang Huzi, you bring three machine guns for me to ambush in the bushes, your task is to block this bridge after the fight." ”

"Junko, take one hundred and fifty brothers and ambush me in the field over there, and listen to my orders to open fire."

"Wang Zikun, bury all the mines for me on the road over there, and send someone to put a few explosive packs under the bridge."

After Yang Ling gave them orders, he asked the old smoker to take some people to ambush along the river embankment, blocking the entire river, preparing to fight the devil in an ambush.

Yang Ling didn't want to face the devils head-on, after all, this was just a blocking battle after the break, and there was no need to die, because once the blocking war became a war of attrition, there were more and more devils, so they would be the ones who suffered.

In this case, only when the devil is paralyzed and careless, eat the opponent's pursuit force in one bite, in case it can't be eaten, then there is a small river to block it, and it can also slow down the pursuit of the devil, so as not to fall into a passive situation.

The brothers soon got busy, planting mines, planting explosives, and the rest of the brothers hid in various places, covered with flowers and plants, and lay down on the ground, almost blending in with their surroundings.

Yang Ling and the others didn't wait long before there was a rumbling sound from the other side of the river, and soon the devil cavalry swept up the smoke and dust in the sky and appeared in the brothers' field of vision.

Yang Ling looked out through the gap in the grass, estimated that there were more than 100 cavalry members of the devil, patted the tiger next to him and said, "Tell the brothers, let them all go and then fire." ”

The tiger understood, and whispered the order, and the brothers quietly lay in ambush everywhere, watching the devil cavalry riding an Oriental horse appear in the field of vision, and gently bullets against the fire.

The commander of the Devil Cavalry, who was ordered to command the retreating Chinese troops, reined in his horse in front of the small wooden bridge, looked around, and found nothing unusual.

Looking at the discarded supplies and cooking cauldrons scattered around the wooden bridge, the commander of the devil cavalry showed a knowing smile, it seemed that the Chinese army's position was defeated, and with his legs between the horse's belly, he took the lead in rushing to the wooden bridge.

More than 100 devil soldiers followed their commander to ride their horses and slowly cross the wooden bridge, and suddenly a devil noticed a reflection in the bushes more than 100 meters away, and immediately became alert, he pointed over there and shouted loudly.

It turned out that a brother didn't pay attention, and the sunlight reflected by the bayonet was noticed by the devil cavalry, but the devil had already entered the ambush circle, and it was too late to find out.

"Shoot!" Yang Ling decisively gave the order to attack, the trigger was pulled, the body of the gun shook, and the scorching bullet had already rushed out, poofing into the chest of the screaming devil.

A stream of blood gushed out of the horse's chest, and his body was hit by bullets, and then he involuntarily fell off the horse.

"There is an ambush! Fall back! Fall back! The commander of the devil cavalry also noticed the ambush soldiers covered with weeds and branches, turned his horse's head and shouted to retreat.

Whizzing bullets shot out from all directions, shrouding towards the devil cavalry crowded at the bridgehead, the sound of popping bullets into the flesh continued to sound, and the devils kept falling off their horses, and the bridgehead was in chaos.
