Chapter 990: Heavy losses
"What, encounter the main force of the Chinese army!"
One arm of the devil communication soldier who was covered in gunsmoke was still bleeding, and when he reported the situation of the 5th Infantry Squadron to the captain of the devil brigade, Hirayama Kei, was also surprised.
"The main force of the Chinese army is actually here!"
The captain of the group, Kei Hirayama, quickly turned from shock to excitement, and the search for a decisive battle with the main force of the Chinese army had always been their greatest desire.
Because the quality of the Chinese army's soldiers and weapons and equipment are inferior to theirs, in a head-to-head confrontation, they can always break the Chinese army apart with their superior firepower, so it will be easy to do next, and it will be easy to cover up and expand the results of the battle and win.
However, with the end of several major battles, except for the frontal battlefield, which would gather heavy groups to confront them because of the need to defend the defensive line, most of the Chinese troops in most of the other theaters of operations learned to avoid their edge.
The result of this is that every time they want to find the Chinese army to fight a decisive battle to destroy the other party in one fell swoop, they always can't find the shadow of the other party, and it often turns into a chase and hide and seek, often with little gain.
Now that there is still some distance from the head of the world, he has encountered the main force of the Chinese army, which makes the blood of the captain Hirayama Kei's body boil again.
"Do you know each other's numbers? Is it the 89th Army or the guerrillas? Soon, the captain of the brigade, who had calmed down, Takashi Hirayama, threw out two questions in a row.
The communications soldier hesitated for a long time and did not answer, but grinned in pain from being shot in the arm.
It was indeed difficult to figure out the numbers of the troops fighting with them in a short period of time in such a dark night, but Hirayama Kei, who was in a good mood, did not mean to continue to ask, and waved his hand to let the communication soldiers retreat and bandage their wounds.
"Your Excellency Captain, according to intelligence, except for some local self-defense forces operating in this area, the only force of the Chinese Army operating in this area is the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and it is very close to the Jieshou here, and the fifth squadron may encounter the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps." The combat staff officer pondered for a few seconds before analyzing.
Group Commander Hirayama nodded and agreed with the operational staff officer's point of view, because he felt that it was very unlikely that he would encounter the main force of the Chinese army in this area, except for the Northern Jiangsu General Force, and other main forces.
"There is an old saying among the people of China, there is no place to find when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them, since they don't stay at the head of the realm and wait for death, and take the initiative to send them to the door, how can we sit still and wait for death." Captain Hirayama's eyes were full of war.
"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
"Order the troops to outflank it, I will make this place a cemetery for the Chinese army!" Hirayama respectfully commanded.
"Hey!"
The devil's combat staff officer hung his head heavily, and immediately summoned the heralds to give orders to the various squadrons.
Hearing the battle ahead, the devils who had stopped and waited for concealment were almost jumping up with excitement after receiving the order to attack.
Along the way, they marched in the mud and in the icy water, and then they were attacked by cold guns and cannons, and they were already holding back a fire in their hearts.
Now they heard that it was the main force of the Chinese army that was engaged with the 5th Squadron in front, and they acted quickly as if they had found an outlet for their anger.
The various troops of the devils quickly divided into several roads and flanked the place where the fire was exchanged in front, and they wanted to annihilate this Chinese army, and let out a vicious breath.
The devil soldiers were resentful and vindictive, and their actions were very fast, and under the leadership of commanders at all levels, they trotted forward in battle formation.
In addition to the Devil Soldier troops who rushed forward along the road, some of the outflanking troops left the road and began the roundabout operation again.
For a time, on the highway, the ridges of the farmland were crowded with heavily loaded devil soldiers, like wolves with shining eyes, trying to pounce on them and tear off a piece of meat.
The guerrilla combat groups, which had already been wandering around the main force of the devil soldiers, and when they saw the devil troops, they suddenly pounced forward, and after being stunned for a moment, they reacted.
"Damn, brothers, give it to Lao Tzu!"
These scattered combat teams are like lone wolves that have been released, and they are very flexible in fighting on the battlefield, and when they see that the devils are going to fight their brothers, how can they let the little devils get their way.
"Da Da Da!"
A group of little devils quickly rushed forward along a dry ridge and threw themselves towards the front of the firefight, but as soon as they reached the middle of the ridge, a rain of bullets swept over the flank.
Seven or eight people were immediately shot and fell into the water-filled farmland next to them, and those who were not dead were still fluttering and wailing.
And the surviving devils were also frightened enough, and they couldn't care about the biting coldness in the water-filled farmland, so they hurriedly lay down and raised their guns to shoot back.
However, where the rifle and machine gun were firing at each other, where the rifle and machine gun were firing, and where the devil's gun flame flashed, the machine gun team of the guerrillas raised their hands and a shuttle of bullets passed.
The bullets splashed muddy water in the farmland, and the devils who fought back were instantly beaten into bloody holes.
The devils in the rear saw that they were ambushed in front of them, and hurried to support, and by the time they set up their machine guns, the guerrillas had already run away.
The Devil's troops were frantically pounced on the front of the firefight, but the guerrilla battle groups scattered all over the place were desperately flanking them down.
The previous battlefield of cold guns and cold guns turned into a white-hot battle in the blink of an eye, and grenades continued to fall in the mud pond and explode columns of water that soared to the sky, and many devils were blown up.
There are also brothers who are ambushed on the way of the devil to attack the little devil, and there are also brothers who are bitten by the devil's bullet and fall into a pool of blood when they do not transfer in time.
Although the guerrilla groups everywhere were desperately delaying, the devils quickly rushed to the periphery of the firefight.
And Shen Biao, who was besieging the fifth squadron of the devils, saw the reinforcements of the devils coming, although they were unwilling, but they were also veterans who rushed out of the battlefield, so they naturally knew how to advance and retreat, and they turned around and retreated without any love of fighting.
The shrill brass whistle was still penetrating even in the heat of the firefight, and soon the guerrilla officers and men who heard the signal to retreat turned and left.
In the blink of an eye, the guerrillas who were swarming forward from all sides withdrew a clean, tense body, and desperately shooting devil squadron leader until he ran out of bullets in his pistol, only to find that the guerrillas had disappeared from view.
Seeing that the guerrillas suddenly disappeared without a trace, the leader of the devil squadron who survived was like he had lost his strength, leaning limply against a stone, panting heavily.
Soon, the captain of the devil brigade, Kei Hirayama, rushed to the battlefield with the main force of the brigade to clear the outer blockade, and when he found the leader of the 5th Infantry Squadron, who was covered in blood and embarrassed, he couldn't believe his eyes.
It was only a short period of time, and the fierce and brave warrior under his command was beaten into such a miserable appearance.
"What about your subordinates, why are there only a few of you?" Group Leader Hirayama looked at the embarrassed squadron leader and asked with a gloomy face.
The captain of the 5th Infantry Squadron had a bitter face: "Captain, we encountered a sudden attack by the main force of the Chinese Army, and my subordinates and I were scattered......"
Seeing the squadron leader whose forehead was still bleeding, Hirayama Kei wanted to get angry, but he still held back, he turned his head and ordered the troops behind him: "Catch up and destroy all the Chinese army!" ”
"Hey!"
Soon, groups of elite devils rushed towards the places where there were gunshots, and the remnants of the fifth squadron were also gathered.
In less than half an hour, a fully formed infantry squadron fought with less than a hundred people left, and all of them were wounded, which made Captain Hirayama Kei's heart nest with a nameless fire, what kind of bad battle was this fighting!
