The firepower from the woods was so fierce that the battalion led by Yang Fei couldn't even lift its head. At the same time, the mortar fire in the woods suddenly turned around and began to bombard Yang Fei and them.

Although the impact points were scattered, they still posed a great threat to the soldiers of the battalion lying in the snow. One regiment belonged to the fortified regiment, and they were armed with all German-made MP40 submachine guns, and each squad was also equipped with an MG42 submachine gun as standard.

MP40 and MG42 are both German experimental products, because of their great power and firepower, plus the need for Gao Dong's roll call. So in the previous deal in Shanghai, these weapons, which had not yet been equipped with German units, were equipped in advance to the independent brigade.

However, since it is an experimental product, the performance is not very stable. At this moment, the MG42, a general-purpose machine gun that was supposed to kill the Czech light machine gun in seconds, was too low in the surrounding temperature, and most of the barrels froze, which could not effectively suppress the fire of the Nationalist army in ambush in the woods.

Although the MP40 has a very strong firepower and a very fast rate of fire, it can be called the king of melee combat in this era. But the effective range was only about 120 meters, and the 1st battalion was about 200 meters away from the woods at the moment. At this distance, they could only watch the woods dry, and they didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Suppressed in place by the opponent's firepower, the mortar bombardment became the most lethal weapon to kill the soldiers of the first battalion. Yang Fei led a battalion of soldiers to try to crawl forward several times, but the Nationalist Army troops in the woods shot very low, almost sweeping against the ground. It is necessary to control the first battalion within a range of 200 meters and prevent them from advancing half a step. It seems that the ambush troops in the woods also knew that if the independent brigade was brought closer to a hundred meters, they would definitely not be an opponent.

"Damn, pee on the MG42 for me and melt the ice slag in the barrel with hot urine. Suppressed here, sooner or later mortar bombardment into the sky. Yang Fei yelled rudely, rolled out, and dodged a mortar shell that landed only one meter away from him.

The roaring explosion kicked up a thick layer of snow, and the fighters of the first battalion were constantly covered with snow falling from the sky. They kept rolling to the left and right to avoid the mortar shells that fell from time to time.

According to Yang Fei's request, the machine gunner rolled to the side with the machine gun, and the ammunition man took off his pants without saying a word and sprinkled hot urine on the barrel. White smoke rises, but it brings hope.

Ten minutes later, gunfire finally rang out in the battalion that had been hit by a double blow. MG42's powerful suppressive firepower together instantly wiped out nearly half of the firepower in the woods without a sound, and the dense impact points swept through the woods, and the small trees with thick bowls were broken waist-high.

"Grandma-yes, give Lao Tzu a hard beating, the machine gunner covers, the others follow me, the grenade is ready. Let these grandsons take a good look at how the sharp knife regiment of our independent brigade fights! Yang Fei roared angrily, crawling forward with hundreds of soldiers in the snow.

The MG42 is known as a ripper, and the large-caliber bullets that even the Maxim heavy machine gun does not dare to call the boss in front of it. At this moment, more than a dozen general-purpose machine guns of the first battalion were fired at full power, and the firepower of the ambush army in the woods was completely suppressed. The opponent can only rely on the firepower of many points, and can also start a stalemate confrontation with the first battalion.

But Yang Fei had already led more than a hundred soldiers to quickly crawl towards the woods, they were all veterans of a hundred battles, and they could judge where the danger was and where it was safe just by listening to the sound of bullets in the air. This is a valuable experience gained in many life and death tests, and I saw more than a hundred soldiers rolling left and right, avoiding one fire point after another, and quickly crawling in the direction of the woods.

"Hit!" When he approached a hundred meters, Yang Fei roared. The MP40 submachine guns in the hands of hundreds of soldiers opened fire in unison, and a large number of bullets were like another snowstorm, and they were densely strafing into the woods.

This was just the first round of strafing, and when the dense bullets were habitually avoiding the ambush in the woods, Yang Fei and two squads of soldiers suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran wildly while strafing the woods. The rest of the people immediately half-squatted on the ground, relying on this distance to continue to strafe into the woods, providing strong fire cover for Yang Fei and the others who were attacking.

This is a tacit understanding created by countless battlefield cooperation, and the pause time in the middle is only one second at most, almost a move made by the comrades around him, and the next moment he will react to what role he should enter.

The two squads led by Yang Fei followed behind him, like wolves against the fire, and finally ran out of the last bullet in the gun when they approached the woods thirty meters. But at this moment, they also showed their real fangs, and the killer feature was the German-made grenade on their waists.

More than twenty grenades were thrown from their hands with perfect parabolas, and at the same time, Yang Fei and the soldiers of the two squads fell to the ground at the same time. The soldiers of the first battalion, who had been covering them a hundred meters away, immediately got up and moved forward, without the slightest flaw.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The pure explosives of German-made grenades exploded in the woods, and many of the ambushers were killed before they could react. They are all veterans who have fought battles with devils for many years, but they have never met such a battle with the first battalion of the Independent Brigade, not only can they not even blink their eyelids, but they can't even stop breathing.

"Rush!" At this moment, the main force led by Hu Xinghan, who had been killed from the oblique side, had also arrived. The first battalion attracted most of the attention of the ambushes in the woods for them, so that they did not find the slightest trace until they lurked a hundred meters on the flank of the woods.

A regiment launched a general attack on the woods from both sides, and grenades were smashed into the woods in dense numbers with a group of soldiers who were rushing wildly. The roaring explosions and skyrocketing fires burned the woods into a sea of fire, like a never-extinguishing fire in the white world.

The explosion was followed by a dense strafing of the MP40s of the Independent Brigade, raining bullets into the woods like a raging storm. As soon as the bewildered Nationalist soldiers stood up straight, they were immediately sieveed by the barrage of bullets.

"Surrender the gun and don't kill, it's all Chinese, put down the gun to save you from death." Hu Xinghan rushed to the front of the troops, shouting as he strafed. The sound spread rapidly, and the soldiers of the Independent Brigade who rushed into the woods were almost all roaring.

A large number of national-army soldiers immediately put down their weapons, and they were completely educated in the combat effectiveness of the independent brigade today. Not only have the tactics been used to the extreme, but even the weapons and equipment are too much better than them. It's not a fight against devils, and there's no need to carry it to the end, so many national-army soldiers consciously surrendered after hearing the roar of surrendering their guns and not killing.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and in a small wood, two regiments of the Nationalist army were ambushed, more than twice the number of troops led by Hu Xinghan. More than 500 of them were killed, and all the rest chose to surrender.

Clearing the battlefield, a regiment lost twenty-three people and forty-seven wounded. However, more than 500 national-level troops were annihilated and the remaining nearly 2,000 were captured, and this result can be said to be a great victory.

The commanders of the two national armies were escorted to Hu Xinghan, and when they saw Hu Xinghan, they nodded their heads, and one of them was even smiling: "Your army is really as rumored to be, its combat effectiveness is too strong." Brother, I have also fought with the devil for three years, but in my opinion, the little devil's combat power is simply not the same as your army. No wonder their 200,000 troops were folded in the hands of more than 10,000 people in your military region. ”

The other guy also hurriedly said; "Brother, I also admire it, I have the honor to fight with your army today, it really taught me a vivid lesson, brother, I will never forget it for three lifetimes."

"Don't talk about this useless." Hu Xinghan yelled, which frightened the two of them to shut up immediately.

"Look at the way you look, you've also fought with devils. Now come to attack your own people, do you still have the face to say such things? Not to mention that so many soldiers who once resisted Japan died under your hands, but we also sacrificed a lot of good soldiers, you still have the face to be close to me, are you worthy of those dead soldiers? Hu Xinghan spoke sharply and angrily reprimanded the two.

The Captain of the Legion who spoke earlier said with a bitter face, "Sir, do you think we want to come and fight you?" The name of the independent brigade is like thunder, and we have beaten so many devils, and how much morale has been raised for us Chinese. From our personal point of view, we all look forward to you. But we are also soldiers, and the order was given by Shangfeng, and we had to come. Now we have done our duty as soldiers, and we can kill or scrape whatever you want. But our brothers are also heroes who have resisted Japan, and I heard that you are reorganizing the army, so let them follow the independent brigade and continue to fight devils. Today's fault, the two of us bear it. ”

The other regiment leader, who had a flattering face before, also instantly became serious: "That's right, we can't help ourselves." Sir, you shoot us. ”

Hu Xinghan stared at the two deadly, and finally sighed: "I really want to shoot you, but we are the New Fourth Army, an independent brigade, a soldier of the people, and even more Chinese." I won't kill you, I won't watch you anymore, if you really want to resist the Japanese, take your men and go to the back and wait for our reinforcements to receive them. ”

The two looked at each other with excitement in their eyes. They had heard it a long time ago if the New Fourth Army did not kill prisoners, but they didn't expect it to pass so smoothly.

"Sir, we ......"

"Alright, needless to say. Now tell me, how many ambushes are there ahead? Hu Xinghan looked at the two of them coldly, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged high.

In the other direction, the main force of the Independent Brigade is also rapidly advancing in the direction of Jing County. They encountered the same embarrassment as Hu Xinghan's department, the roads were too difficult to walk, and the heavy snow blocked many roads, slowing their movements and delaying them for at least a day.

Gao Dong sat on the military vehicle and looked at the military map in his hand anxiously: "Hurry up, hurry up, General Ye Ting, I will never let you become a prisoner of Chiang Kai-shek." History will never repeat itself here. ”
