Xu Hailang smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, every move of the Japanese is in the reconnaissance and the brothers' eyes. Their conspiracy is not so easy to succeed."

"Since these Japanese want to surround some help, let's play with him."

"This is a good opportunity to practice marksmanship. It is hard to find ready-made live targets!"

After saying this, a glimmer suddenly burst out from Xu Hailang's eyes and ordered: "Tell me the order, all brothers aim at it and then hit it!"

"Machine gunners, grenadiers provide fire cover. As long as the Japanese dare to fight back, they will kill me!"

"Keep the pace, just keep it for an hour, don't deliberately save ammunition!"

"yes!"

The platoon leader responded to his promise and then brought several messengers to pass Xu Hailang's orders to all parts of the position.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the first company immediately adjusted their strategies and began to accurately shoot the Japanese at the foot of the mountain.

"Ba, bha, bha, bha—"

The gunshots resounded. Although the distance was more than 200 meters, the Japanese were hiding behind the bunker, often showing only half of their heads.

However, after a long period of live ammunition training, the soldiers of the first company have greatly improved their marksmanship. In addition, there are many people and powerful people, they hit more than 10 Japanese soldiers in one round of attacks.

Almost all the injured were shot in the head, and they died without any pain.

Of course, the Japanese's shooting skills are not bad, so they naturally won't sit still and wait for death.

Unfortunately, as soon as these Japanese devils were about to raise their guns to fight back, a dense rain of bullets would surely pour down, suppressing them so hard that they could not raise their heads.

This is pretty good. Some Japanese who want to fight back, especially machine gunners, were not only suppressed by a single line of machine gun fire, but also a grenade would fly from time to time.

"Baga Road! Damn, why are these damn Tujia Road equipment so good?"

"Didn't they say that their supplies are very scarce, and some troops even share a gun with several people?"

"What kind of information is this provided by a bastard? It's really abominable!"

The Japanese who were beaten so hard that they could not raise their heads, all cursed in anger, and greeted the 18th generation of the ancestors of the Japanese in the intelligence department.

A few minutes later, due to the heavy casualties, Yamazaki Jihei had to give an order to retreat 100 meters.

However, the old Japanese target was not just the company of the independent battalion besieged on the mountain ridge, but the entire independent battalion, and even the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so they were not concerned about this casualties.

...

On the other hand, the third and fourth squadrons of Yamazaki Brigade had already set up an ambush halfway through the Eighth Route Army reinforcements.

Hikawa Okasaka was the captain of the 3rd Squadron. At this time, he was standing on the top of a dirt slope, holding a telescope to observe the situation ahead.

Soon, a surprise unit appeared in his telescope's field of view.

This cavalry unit had more than 100 people, and was quickly approaching the position where he set up. The horse's hooves trampled heavily on the ground, splashing dust all over the ground. From a distance, it looked like a long yellow dragon.

"Yo Xi! The military horses that the Chinese cavalry are probably the ones lost by the Imperial Army of Wanjia Town?"

"Order each team to prepare for combat immediately. The first team is responsible for setting up trips on the way!"

"Be sure to eliminate all these Chinese cavalry without hurting these military horses!"

Hikawa Okasaka's mouth opened, and a cold murderous intent like a wild wolf was revealed in his eyes.

They had already used weapons and equipment to infer that the troops trapped on the ridge were the independent battalions, so it was naturally not difficult to guess the identity of this cavalry.

"Hi Yi!"

The Japanese commander ordered the soldiers to bow their heads and responded to the promise, then turned around and left, conveying the order.

Hikawa Okasaka continued to raise his telescope, and he wanted to watch the group of prey enter the trap he carefully set.

The old Japanese had a good guess, and the first person to come to reinforce was the independent battalion cavalry company with war horses to transport.

The cavalry company was very fast, and soon their figures were blocked by a hill.

Hikawa Okasaka then put down his telescope, and he didn't think much about it. There was only one road leading to Dongyang Village from this direction.

Unless this company goes far and wide, it is obvious that it will not be possible for the other party to do so.

But soon, Hikawa Okasaka's brows suddenly frowned.

Because after entering the back of the hill, the cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army did not come out for more than a minute, as if it was swallowed up by the hill.

Not normal, too abnormal!

Soon, a Japanese scout came over and reported to Hikawa Okasaka Hiroshi: "Report to the squadron leader, the cavalry was two kilometers away from us, and suddenly stopped!"

"Nani?"

Hikawa Okasaka was confused: "Can these Eighth Route Army not reinforce the besieged friendly forces? Or did they see through the brigade captain's combat plan?"

A Japanese squad leader said, "Squadron Captain, what should I do now?"

Hikawa Okasaka pondered for a moment and said, "Wait and see first, and report this matter to the captain immediately!"

"Hi Yi!"

The Japanese team leader bowed heavily, then arranged a communications soldier and rushed towards Dongyang Village quickly.

On the other hand, the Second Company of the Independent Battalion, which arrived later, stopped two kilometers away from the ambush circle of the 4th Squadron of Yamazaki Brigade.

Of course, they did not fail to reinforce the besieged company, but learned about the Japanese's combat plan through the reconnaissance company's scouts, so it was naturally impossible for them to continue to advance and enter the Japanese ambush circle.

Dongyang Village.

Yamazaki Orihei soon received the news from the 3rd and 4th Squadrons from the front, and couldn't help but frown: "It seems that this Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion is indeed much harder than I thought."

Kobayashi Jiro on the side said, "Captain, what should we do now?"

Yamazaki Oshihei: "Didn't the Tuya Eighth Route Army think that the friendly troops on the mountain are not in danger yet, so don't be in a hurry?"

"Then let us put the Eighth Route Army on the mountain in danger, and see if they are not in a hurry!"

"Tell me the order, and the artillery squadron immediately bombarded the Chinese army on the mountain!"

"After the bombardment is over, the 1st and 2nd Squadrons will launch an attack immediately!"

"Hi Yi!"

Jiro Kobayashi bowed his head heavily, then turned around and conveyed Yamazaki's orders.

The artillery squadron of Yamazaki Battalion is a reinforced squadron. Although it does not carry heavy firepower weapons such as Type 92 infantry artillery, it carries 8 60mm caliber mortars.

Once the fire was opened, the hill where it was hiding suddenly exploded, and the fire was rising into the sky, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

All kinds of gravel and soil are everywhere accompanied by explosion shock waves.

Some soldiers from the first company happened to be at the landing point of the shells, and they were immediately bombed out with their guns...
