"Da da da!"

"Bah bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Facing a large number of puppet troops, machine guns fired intensively.

Type 96 machine gun, MG34 machine gun, Czech machine gun.

Sixteen wheeled combat vehicles, with a total of twenty-eight machine guns firing.

Strings of bullets were ejected from the muzzle one after another, and each puppet soldier was instantly beaten into a sieve of flesh.

At the same time, the machine guns of the two cavalry companies following the wheeled combat vehicle also began to fire.

Two cavalry companies and eighteen light machine guns fired one after another.

More than forty light machine guns instantly organized a fire network with no blind spots.

A puppet soldier carrying a rifle was instantly beaten into a sieve before he could get close to the wheeled chariot.

At this time, the armored assault company also began to take action, with four Madsen machine guns, fifty Czech semi-automatic rifles, and ten submachine guns.

Intensive fire came, and it was almost a one-sided massacre.

About five hundred puppet troops were instantly littered with corpses, even though they had some fighting capacity.

However, faced with such a passive situation of being beaten, these puppet troops gradually became unable to bear it.

After more than 300 people died, the remaining 100 or so puppet troops began to dodge.

Finally, they quickly evacuated along the trenches.

However, when they evacuated, they were directly attacked by the cavalry.

Two cavalry companies rushed out from both sides. The cavalrymen armed with medium-sized rifles fired one after another and quickly eliminated them.

Liu Huawen, who saw this scene from a distance, quickly retreated and escaped without any hesitation.

As the Japanese and puppet troops began to withdraw rapidly, the New Second Regiment, which had moved to their rear, seized the opportunity.

Under the command of regiment leader Kong Jie, we attacked them.

In the end, the puppet army was mixed into 15 regiments and the Japanese machine gun brigade, and after suffering more than 700 casualties, they evacuated the Walled City in embarrassment.

It must be said that this Japanese and puppet army is still very powerful.

It's just that they paid such heavy losses because they were playing tricks on others.

After the battle, Lu Ming immediately checked on the situation of Hattori Naoomi and others.

Each of these little Japanese officers looked pale. Although their mouths were gagged, they were still shouting "Uh huh".

Lu Ming ordered Monk Wei to take them back to the car and take care of them. These people must be more valuable alive than dead.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the troops of the New Second Regiment reunited with the Armored Cavalry Battalion.

Kong Jie and other cadres of the New Second Regiment were stunned when they learned that Lu Ming had captured twenty young Japanese officers, including a major general.

But now is not the time to compliment each other, there is already the roar of a motor in the distance.

Lu Ming knew that this must be an armored cavalry unit organized by the Japanese and puppet troops.

He looked around with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Due to the hasty retreat, the Japanese and puppet troops and the armored cavalry battalion did not conduct detailed reconnaissance.

I just know that they have about 20 tanks and armored vehicles and about 200 cavalry troops.

The armored cavalry battalion is not very clear about the specific situation.

However, their existence is a big threat.

After all, they are able to maneuver quickly, which is fatal to the independent regiment.

Once the infantry of the independent regiment is attacked by them during transfer, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Li Erhu, with tanks and armored vehicles, machine guns and anti-guns, ambushed the flanks."

"Other vehicles line up on the spot to attract their attention, and once they get close, launch all firepower."

"Focus on attacking their tanks and armored vehicles, and we must make them lose their combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time."

Lu Ming thought for a while and quickly made arrangements.

The armored cavalry battalion began to line up on the spot, and at the same time Lu Ming looked in the direction of the Yangcun Independent Regiment.

He called Wu Dayong, commander of the second cavalry company, and asked him to quickly send the cavalry back to the regiment headquarters to report.

"Tell the regiment leader that we must be prepared for air defense. The Japs are very likely to dispatch aircraft on a large scale next."

"In addition, if the first line position cannot be defended, the regiment leader can lead the regiment's main force to move towards Chen Jiayu."

"Still follow the previous plan, arrange the echelons, and use points to defend the front to avoid excessive concentration of troops."

Lu Ming called the cavalryman who was reporting to him. With a serious expression on his face, he explained carefully.

The cavalryman nodded and then galloped towards Yangcun, where the regiment headquarters was located.

The armored cavalry battalion was ready for battle, but at this time, the Japanese armored troops and puppet cavalry battalion that were pursuing them suddenly stopped moving.

Immediately afterwards, they began to circle towards the flanks and gave up the attack on the armored cavalry battalion.

Lu Ming saw this scene with a thoughtful expression on his face.

He raised the telescope and looked carefully, frowning slightly.

"Four 95 tanks and twenty 94 tanks."

"This puppet cavalry is not simple, the weapons and equipment are so sophisticated!"

Lu Ming said slowly with a solemn expression on his face.

The Little Devils have a total of twenty-four tanks, but the Type 94 tank is called a bean tank.

Its total weight is about three tons, and its weaponry only has one machine gun. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a light armored vehicle.

So it seems that they have a lot of tanks, but they are actually not as threatening as imagined.

It was the puppet cavalry that surprised Lu Ming.

Of these two hundred puppet cavalry, a full fifty were equipped with submachine guns!

The remaining one hundred and fifty people were double-gun soldiers, each equipped with a shell gun and a horse-mounted four-ring rifle.

Compared with the medium and formal rifles equipped by the two cavalry battalions, they clearly have an advantage.

At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops seemed to have no intention of fighting the armored cavalry battalion. They quickly detoured from the flanks and moved closer to the main force.

Lu Ming couldn't figure out their reality, so he wouldn't attack rashly.

Both sides could see each other, but no fighting took place.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, all Japanese and puppet troops had stopped attacking and retreated.

Li Yunlong, who had already received the report from Lu Ming's cavalry, immediately realized what was happening and quickly issued an order.

After a while, bombers arrived over the battlefield one after another.

This time, the Japs dispatched twelve bombers and began carpet bombing the Independent Regiment's positions.

Aerial bombs fell one after another, accompanied by deafening explosions, and the earth shook at this moment.

Although the fortifications were reinforced and built in advance, they were still easily destroyed by aerial bombs.

Although the various units of the independent regiment quickly evacuated their positions, they also paid the price of casualties in this air attack.

At this time, the Japanese army independently formed the fourth mixed brigade, and the Imperial Japanese Army's eighth mixed brigade was fully integrated.

The independent mixed fourth brigade has five independent infantry brigades under its jurisdiction, including infantry artillery, mortars, machine gun brigades and other units.

Their total strength is more than 6,000 people, with a large number of light and heavy weapons, as well as armored units.

The Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army has two mixed regiments under its jurisdiction, including cavalry, artillery, engineer battalions and other units.

Their total strength exceeds 5,000, and they are well-equipped with weapons and equipment. Among them, 15 mixed regiments have strong combat effectiveness.

However, after successive battles, the total casualties of the approximately 12,000 Japanese and puppet troops exceeded 1,000.

The independent regiment troops also suffered more than 200 casualties.

And after this air attack, Li Yunlong decisively withdrew the defenders on the cliff.

This meant that their left position was lost, and the Japanese and puppet troops could attack from a commanding position.

However, the defensive troops at the cliff suffered too many casualties and had to withdraw, otherwise the two infantry companies would most likely be wiped out.

On a high ground near the battlefield, the Japanese army formed an independent fourth brigade headquarters!

Nakamura Hideda, Major General Commander of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, and Liu Huawen, Major General Commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army.

Yamamoto Kazuki, captain of the left wing of the Yamamoto Special Agent Team, and the three of them began to gather together.

The total casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops this time were about 1,300, and the real losses of the Japanese army were only more than 300.
