"Boom..." Several more explosions rang out on the defense line of the National Salvation Army, and the heavy machine gun stopped and fired on the spot.

The Eguchi Major almost jumped up from the ground with joy and shouted excitedly: "Great bombing, continue firing the guns and kill all the remaining three heavy machine guns!"

"Boom..." Before he could finish his words, the dull sound of horse hooves rang out on their flanks.

Hearing the sound of at least one hundred cavalry rushing towards him, his speed is very fast...

The Grandmaster of Jiangkou was shocked. There were no cavalry troops in the middle of the reinforcements, so the cavalry rushing over on the flank must be the enemy but not the friend, so hurry up and order.

"The machine gunners come and block them, hurry!"

Among the remaining 200 people, there were many machine gunners. After receiving the order, they quickly moved towards the direction where the cavalry came, preparing to block them head-on.

The cavalry company that rushed over seemed not to intend to fight them head-on.

When there were more than 200 meters away from the battlefield, the troops suddenly divided their troops and circled around the battlefield in platoons. After the sound of horse hooves around the team, they suddenly launched an assault from all directions.

Light machine guns are concentrated to shoot together, and the dense firepower can also block cavalry assaults.

Once dispersed, the limited firepower would also be dispersed, and the sparse rain of bullets would be difficult to block the cavalry troops that were attacking quickly.

"Shoot... Everyone fired..." Facing the cavalry rushing towards each other in all directions, Major Eguchi panicked. The calmness and confident expression that had just appeared on his face disappeared without a trace. He waved his saber and kept calling his subordinates to open fire.

"Da da da da...b...b..."

The sound of shooting of the crawlers quickly sounded, but the scope of the Japanese intercepting was too wide. In addition, it was night, and they could not see the cavalry at all. They could only judge the approximate position of the cavalry by their sound to shoot. The sparse bullets made it harder to hit the fast-paced cavalry.

The Eguchi Major could feel that the cavalry hiding in the dark was rushing towards him quickly...

"Baoba..." The sound of horse rifle shooting suddenly sounded among the cavalry.

Compared with the scattered cavalry, in order to concentrate firepower as much as possible and not be defeated by the cavalry, the Grandpa Eguchi gathered all the remaining soldiers around him to fight together.

The direction of the bullets fired by the cavalry company was fine. Although there were not many, they could basically hit the target. In just one round of shooting, at least ten Japanese sneered and collapsed on the ground.

When the two sides were less than fifty meters apart, the Japanese army finally saw the blurred figure of the cavalry company, and the shooting accuracy was greatly increased, and the casualties of the cavalry company became increasingly serious.

But the cavalry company did not retreat, and their assault speed had reached the fastest, and the remaining distance between the two sides could be completed in at most five seconds.

No matter how powerful the Japanese on the opposite side is, it is impossible for them to kill all the cavalry companies in such a short time.

As long as a cavalry platoon rushed into the Japanese group, the powerful assault ability of the cavalry would be enough to disrupt their formation and then chase them and fight.

In addition to having a horse and rifle, the cavalry company also equipped with a large number of box cannons and submachine guns. These two weapons are also the trump card for killing and injuring the Japanese army's live power...

At that time, the cavalry in front suddenly showed at least ten box cannons and submachine guns, clamped their legs to keep themselves balanced, holding the reins in one hand to control the assault direction of the war horse, holding the box cannons or submachine guns in the other hand, and holding the fire at the Japanese who were close to them, firing at the place where there are more people...

In less than two seconds, all the bullets in the magazine were emptied. The box cannon and submachine gun were hung on the saddle, and the sabre was drawn out and raised it over his head, launching the final assault on the Japanese who were already in chaos...

Half an hour later, the gunshots on the battlefield stopped.

At least 700 corpses fell in front of the artillery position, more than 500 were troops that the Major of Jiangkou broke out from the railway station, more than 100 were troops of the National Salvation Army guarding the artillery position, and dozens of war horses that had lost their masters wandered among the corpses. The air was filled with a very strong smell of blood and smoke. The ground was stained with blood and there was not even a place to settle down, bloody and tragic.

The tragic level in the train station was even worse, because the attacking troops used a large number of shells, and many Japanese corpses were blown up by shells.

Blood and minced meat seemed to rain, and it was splattering everywhere.

The broken limbs, broken arms and internal organs can be seen everywhere in the middle of the ruins, or the Japanese corpses with only half of their bodies left.

The worst thing was that the spy company attacked the south, and more than 300 corpses were poured down, scattered in the ruins, two-thirds of which were from the Japanese and one-third of which were from the spy company.

The Japanese breakout troops were ambushed in the ruins and rushed out suddenly after the spy company approached.

Some devils used bayonets to fight against the spy company, and some devils held grenades and died together with the spy company soldiers. In less than five minutes, the two platoons blocking the Japanese army were completely injured and the company commander Shen Liwen was seriously injured.

If it weren't for the Japanese who were in a hurry to break through and had no time to re-shoot the corpses and wounded on the battlefield, Shen Liwen had turned into a corpse!

Seeing Zhou Cheng's face was gloomy, Li Honghui hesitated for a moment before continuing to report: "Captain, after summarizing, we killed a total of 1,259 Japanese and 356 puppet troops in this battle tonight, including 159 puppet troops captured, and the remaining Japanese and puppet troops were all eliminated."

"We sacrificed 698 people ourselves, and 86 others were seriously injured. Half of the remaining soldiers were slightly injured. The spy company, which suffered the biggest losses, was almost crippled. The company commander was seriously injured and the deputy company commander was sacrificed. Two of the three platoon leaders were killed, one seriously injured. The whole company had only one platoon and the fire platoon. The system was still neat!"

"I roughly analyzed that the casualties of the troops were mainly concentrated in the two battles of the Japanese army's breakthrough and the raiding artillery battalion. If the Japanese army had not decided to break through unexpectedly, our casualties would have been reduced by at least 300!"

Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth when he heard this, and after several seconds he cursed with a calm face: "The loss is too great, we must avenge this revenge!"

Li Honghui was shocked by the commander's words and quickly reminded: "The commander thinks three times... Now the spy company has almost lost its combat effectiveness, and the guard company and the other three main companies have suffered more than half of their casualties, the cavalry company has lost one and a half platoon, and the artillery battalion has lost nearly a hundred people. At this time, what we need most is rest and we will definitely not be able to continue fighting!"

Zhou Cheng had a calm face and didn't say anything.

This battle tonight was a tough battle that I had prepared for a long time. I used more than a thousand shells in all kinds of artillery shells, and almost every Japanese can get one.

No matter how powerful the Japanese are, they are still flesh and blood. As long as the artillery fire is strong enough and willing to use shells, they will definitely be able to kill all the Japanese troops at the minimum cost.

In his plan, after the shelling, the infantry lost up to two or three hundred men to take the train station.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army gave up the railway station and took the initiative to break through, disrupting the original combat plan in an instant, and had to command the troops to respond hastily, which eventually caused the casualties of the troops to quadruple.

After fighting the Japanese for so long, Zhou Cheng has never suffered such a big loss as tonight.

Zhou Cheng has always had a fighting style. He definitely doesn't want to be a mute to take coptis chinensis and suffer a great loss.

Although what Li Honghui said just now is true and very reasonable, Zhou Cheng decided to give it a try.

If you just retreat like this, you will feel uneasy tomorrow night.

Li Honghui immediately interrupted and wanted to continue talking: "Don't worry, I will definitely not be impulsive!"

"Let me find a map now, the more detailed the better!"

A few minutes later, the map hanging in the Japanese command was found. Zhou Cheng stared at it for two minutes before ordering: "Come Battalion Commander Tan of the Cannon Camp immediately, and be faster."

Tan Wei is commanding the troops to clean the battlefield.

In the defensive battle just now, nearly a hundred people were sacrificed in the artillery battalion. When he restrained the bodies of the soldiers, he was still angry and had no place to get angry.

Seeing Zhou Cheng staring at the map, he immediately thought of avenging his sacrificed subordinates, and asked with anticipation: "Captain, is there a Japanese to fight?"

Zhou Cheng did not respond and stared at Tan Wei and asked back: "How many shells are left in your artillery battalion?"

Tan Wei blurted out: "There are more than 600 mortar shells left, enough for all mortars to hit for three minutes."

"There are 150 rounds of mountain cannons left, which is enough for all mountain cannons to be fired for four minutes. The infantry cannons have the least number of rounds left, with less than sixty rounds left. The four infantry cannons can be wiped out in more than two minutes."

"Enough!" Zhou Cheng was very satisfied with the result, and then he called all the company commanders to move closer to him, pointing to a point on the map and expressing his thoughts: "I want to fight an ambush of the Japanese reinforcements here!"

"I originally thought it would take at least five hours for us to end the battle, but after only two hours of fighting, we took the train station down, so we arrived here for at least one and a half hours to set up the ambush battlefield."

"Look at the terrain here again. The road is surrounded by slopes and rolling hills. Although the terrain is not very dangerous, the mountain cannons and field cannons brought by the Japanese army cannot leave."

"Once they are attacked by our artillery fire on this section of the road, the mountain artillery attacking with the team will either continue to advance under the artillery fire or retreat, and there is no other way. Our seven or eight hundred shells will all hit this section of the road within three minutes, which will definitely damage the Japanese artillery troops."

"Losing artillery, our troops suddenly emerged around the battlefield, as if they were surrounded and gathered to annihilate them. What would you choose if you were Japanese commanders!"

Li Honghui was originally going to object, but hesitated after listening to Zhou Cheng's combat plan.

Following the regiment commander's thoughts, he replied: "The Japanese don't have artillery, we have them. If I were their commander, I would definitely be worried that the National Salvation Army would surround them here and gather them to annihilate them."

"The best way is to break through and fight back to Yangquan while the encirclement has not yet been closed!"

"By the way, if we let the Japanese army know that the railway station had been taken down at that time and then transferred the cavalry to it, they would definitely be faster to break through and retreat."
