"Sir, there is the Eighth Route Army in front of us to block us, slowing down our march!" Beside the captain of the 6th Infantry Brigade, a second lieutenant communications officer hurriedly ran over and reported.

"The forward troops concentrate their firepower to defeat them, and the marching speed of the troops must be maintained, and they must rush to the station of the fifth brigade as soon as possible!" The captain commanded with a blank face.

He had already received the telegram from the wing commander, and they would be able to kill two or three battalions of the Eighth Route Army in this operation!

In addition, before the start of the troop sweep, Lieutenant General Ito, the commander of the division, repeatedly explained that the troops could not be divided under any circumstances, at least they had to act as a brigade, and they could not go deep into the base area of the Eighth Route Army alone.

Therefore, after receiving the reinforcement order, the captain rushed to the battlefield with a thousand subordinates and more than 300 imperial troops.

At this time, he had only one thought, to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible and fight a good battle with the Eighth Route Army.

There were constant bursts of very dense firefights in the direction of the forward troops, although the captain kept urging the troops to speed up. But under the influence of the battle, the speed of the march of the troops was still greatly affected.

On the road, less than two kilometers from the station of the Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Army, a company of the Eighth Route Army was desperately digging fortifications and repairing positions.

"The devil is coming, enter the position, and prepare for battle!" After an order sounded in the night, more than a hundred people dropped their sapper shovels and jumped into the trenches that were already waist-deep, put their guns in front of them, loaded their bullets, and half-crouched to prepare for battle.

"Shooting~"

"Bang ......"

As soon as the figures of a dozen devils entered their field of vision, gunshots rang out in the position.

"Bang bang bang...... Dadada......"

The devil, who was not killed, quickly lay on the ground and counterattacked.

However, after only a few seconds of shooting against each other, they realized that they were not opponents.

"Bage Ya Road, there is a blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front, at least one company of the Eighth Route Army is blocking the front, and there are heavy machine guns...... Retreat now, we are no opponent! The second lieutenant who led the team saw that more and more of his subordinates were killed, and hurriedly ordered.

It was already very close to the Fifth Brigade, and the sound of gunfire from the battlefield was clearly audible, and as soon as he received the news, the captain ordered.

"Concentrate the heavy machine gun squadron, the mortar squadron, cover with the most powerful firepower, the 1st Infantry Squadron forcibly assault and break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in five minutes!"

The devil's reaction speed was very fast, and in less than three minutes, the first round of shells smashed into the blocking position and exploded.

"Da ......" followed, and the sound of dense heavy machine gun fire also sounded on the battlefield.

Soon, the battlefield was enveloped in the sound of gunfire.

Suddenly, a string of gunshots rang out behind the captain, and it became more and more dense.

"Woooooooooo......oo Boom, boom......, boom, boom" and then the screech of shells across the sky sounded overhead, violent explosions, and thunder sounded in the artillery positions not far away.

The fireballs that rose into the air directly illuminated the artillery positions as bright as day.

Many artillery pieces were overturned by powerful shock waves before they could realize the danger, and several mortars were blown up and disintegrated into several parts in the air.

"What's going on?" The captain, who was still full of confidence just now, was stunned and shouted loudly.

"Sir, a large number of Eighth Route Army has appeared behind us, and they are rushing towards us!" A communications officer rushed over with a frightened face and reported.

"The troops behind the palace will block them on the spot and block them~" The captain who reacted decisively ordered.

"Da Da Da ......"

Dense heavy machine-gun fire interrupted his order.

More than a dozen thick heavy machine guns suddenly appeared in the rear of the road, and the bullets flew towards the road like a meteor shower.

Although it was also dark on the road, the faint screams had already told the captain that there was no hidden road, and the troops behind the troops had suffered heavy casualties before they had time to counterattack.

"Sir, at least one battalion of the Eighth Route Army is attacking our rear guard troops and baggage troops~"

"Sir, the artillery positions have been heavily damaged...... The artillery of the Eighth Route Army began shelling our heavy machine gun positions again......"

"Sir, a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army have appeared on our flank, and they are quickly killing us, and the firepower is very strong~"

In less than a minute, the captain received several messages in a row, and one message was worse than the other!

"Isn't the Eighth Route Army attacking the Fifth Brigade? Where did so many of the Eighth Route Army around us come from, can anyone tell me? The captain shouted with a puzzled face.

"Encirclement and reinforcement~ Sir, I guess the Eighth Route Army must be using their usual tactics of encirclement and reinforcement, wanting to kill us here!" The adjutant next to him quickly made a judgment.

Then he reminded: "The humble duty suggests that the troops immediately break through and break through to the garrison of the Fifth Brigade~"

"If we are the main offensive target of the Eighth Route Army, then the Eighth Route Army in the Fifth Brigade will definitely be a virtual soldier, as long as we get there and join the Fifth Brigade, we will be safe!"

"Can't break through!" When the captain subconsciously prepared to agree, reason made him swallow the words that came to his mouth again.

"Break through now, the Eighth Route Army can take advantage of the victory to attack and fight a rout, and our losses will be even greater!"

"You're right, the target of the Eighth Route Army is us, not the Fifth Brigade...... Pass my order: everyone moves closer to me, forms a ring position to hold on, and waits for help! ”

"Immediately contact the wing commander, report our encounter to the wing command, and ask the fifth brigade to break through immediately and come over for reinforcements, and the fourth brigade will also come over together, and strive to defeat the Eighth Route Army that is attacking us from inside and outside~"

After the order was given, the chaotic devil slowly stabilized. The captain could clearly feel that the offensive of the surrounding Eighth Route Army was blocked.

The good mood didn't last a minute, and a report from the adjutant made him gloomy again.

"Sir, the baggage squadron and the guard squadron failed to get close, and were cut off by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Leave them alone!" The heartache captain gritted his teeth and ordered.

"We still have three infantry squadrons, a heavy machine gun squadron and a mortar squadron, and we will definitely be able to hold out until the fifth brigade comes over!"

"Tell the warriors, hold on, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army has been suppressed by us!"

What puzzled the captain was that the Eighth Route Army didn't seem to intend to kill him here.

After the first round of the offensive was easily defused by itself, the next attack was more tentative.

Ten minutes later, the tentative assault seemed to have stopped. The lively battlefield suddenly became quiet.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army seems to have retreated~" The adjutant reported with a disbelieving expression.

Then I saw a subordinate rushing over: "The fifth brigade is coming, and a squadron of the forward has joined us, and there is no resistance from the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"They really retreated~ They must have known that the fifth brigade was coming, and they were afraid of being surrounded by counter-surrounding, so they had to retreat!" The captain came up with a decent reason.

It wasn't until the three infantry brigades all converged and the battlefield was cleaned up that they realized that they had been tricked by the Eighth Route Army again!
