The light and heavy machine gun firepower deployed on Jing Dagang's regiment's position gave the enemy troops who broke through the encirclement a blow in the head.
The regiment originally had 13 Maxim heavy machine guns, plus the additional 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and 46 Czech light machine guns. The crossfire formed blocked the enemy's breakout road to the west, and a round of concentrated fire
When they came down, more than 300 people from the first regiment of the enemy's special agent brigade in front were directly mopped down.
At this time, the outflanking Eighth Route Army units on both wings also began to fire, and machine gunners holding light machine guns rushed in front.
Seeing that the defeated enemy army was quickly divided and surrounded, Jing Dagang pulled out his sword and shouted: "Come on, the slow ones can't even drink the soup!"
A group of warriors from the sword team pulled out their swords from behind, took the lead, and rushed towards the enemy.
"Military seat, I will take people to cover your retreat!" shouted an officer of the 69th Army Cavalry who was lucky enough to survive the bombardment.
Originally, the cavalry of the 69th Army was the most promising team to break through the encirclement, but Shi Yousan could not let go of the belongings he had accumulated over the years. Not only were the trucks in the supply camp filled to capacity, but the horses leading the cavalry were also carrying a lot of things.
There were more than thirty enemy cavalry troops gathered around Shi Yousan, each holding a war horse, which was particularly conspicuous on the battlefield.
The soldiers of Ding Wei's 28th Regiment charged the most fiercely. A squad leader of the regiment saw the third group of friends gathered together and shouted to several soldiers around him: "Machine gunner, you see the people next to the group of horses.
Yeah, it must be a big fish, rush over and challenge them!"
"Quickly, stop them!" As he spoke, the officer helped Shi Yousan to mount his horse.
The enemy soldiers who were left behind tried to resist, but were mowed down by a hail of machine gun bullets.
"The army has always treated us well, and today it's time to repay our kindness. Form a formation and charge!" The officer drew his saber and pointed to the south of the battlefield.
Twenty-five enemy cavalry quickly surrounded three friends, and the enemy officer took the lead in charging.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the rhythm changed from slow to fast. Although people continued to fall during the charge, Shi Yousan was still protected by the crowd.
"Damn it, there's definitely a big fish in here!" the squad leader of the 28th regiment cursed as he looked at the third group of friends who were escaping.
Blinking his eyes, Shi Yousan and others broke out of the encirclement. Shi Yousan took a deep breath at this time, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "The grace of saving my life will never be forgotten. Follow me and enjoy the glory and wealth in the future!"
At this time, more than 300 men from the independent detachment's cavalry company were roaming around the battlefield. Zhou Weihan had long thought that Shi Yousan might fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to escape, so he had already made arrangements.
"Company Commander, a dozen enemy soldiers rushed out of the encirclement and came towards us!"
"Great, it's still a cavalry, there might be three friends among them!" Zhu Dashan was overjoyed. Although there was only one platoon of troops around him, Zhu Dashan didn't pay attention to the enemy at all.
"Originally, the commander arranged for us to be on the periphery, and I thought we could only watch the excitement. Unexpectedly, God was thinking of us and brought us a big fish!"
"Cheer up, everyone, Shi Yousan, try your best to catch him alive!"
The sixteen enemy cavalry who successfully broke out also discovered Zhu Dashan and others, and their speed increased instead of decreasing, obviously intending to overwhelm them in one go.
Zhu Dashan immediately discovered the enemy's intention and hurriedly ordered: "The first squadron will stay to block the cavalry that slipped through the net, and the second squadron and the third squadron will follow me!"
At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters. The soldiers of the cavalry company first controlled their horses to trot, and then quickly increased their speed. Seeing that the two sides were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Zhu Dashan and others did not know Shi Yousan. In order to confirm whether Shi Yousan was among the enemy, Zhu Dashan, who was also a wise man, shouted: "Shi Yousan, I will chop you to death!"
After hearing this, Shi Yousan subconsciously tugged on the reins and was immediately exposed in the cavalry charge formation!
The battle of the cavalry is a test of skills. War horses charge quickly. If brute force is used in hand-to-hand combat, the arm will be broken if not done properly.
The most practical technique is to take advantage of the horse's momentum and take advantage of the situation to use the sword.
The enemy officers saw that Zhu Dashan, who was leading the charge, was a ruthless man, and immediately came forward to meet him.
When the two sabers collided, the enemy officer felt that half of his arms were numb. The two war horses instantly crossed each other, and neither side could do anything to the other. It was a draw.
Shi Yousan was not so lucky. He had been neglecting battle formations for many years and was able to ride a horse normally. However, he showed his true colors when using real swords and guns.
A soldier from the cavalry company happened to be opposite him. He turned slightly to avoid Shi Yousan's saber, and then directly shot Shi Yousan down with the back of the sword.
Shi Yousan fell heavily from his horse and fell to the ground.
The soldiers of the cavalry company who followed him couldn't dodge, so they had to pull the reins tightly and clamp their feet on the horse's belly. The horse's front legs were in the air, and then a pair of horse hoofs stepped heavily on Shi Yousan's chest.
"Military seat!" The remaining six enemy cavalry turned their horses and rushed back, and were quickly strangled to death.
...
"Company Commander, judging from the title, this should be the Third Stone Friend! He has eyes and is a cultural person!" A soldier from the cavalry company said jokingly.
"Bah, you traitor, you've got an advantage!"
"Shi Yousan will not survive. The ribs on his chest were almost broken by the horse's hooves! Okay, take the body of Shi Yousan and hand it over to the commander!" Zhu Dashan said in a nonchalant manner. He originally wanted to capture him alive.
As a result, the body was almost trampled to pieces!
...
The battle progressed quite smoothly. After the enemy troops who broke out of the encirclement were surrounded and annihilated, the Eighth Route Army units rushed into the village, attacking the enemy troops on both sides inside and outside.
The enemy soldiers who were left behind had already noticed the fierce gunshots to the west, cursed Shi Yousan one after another, and surrendered without any resistance!
It started on July 5th and ended on July 8th. It lasted four days and the battle on the southern front ended.
On the battlefield, the soldiers were happily cleaning the battlefield.
Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang were walking on the battlefield where the battle had just ended. The battlefield had been bombarded by artillery shells. There were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and from time to time they could step on pieces of flesh blown apart by heavy artillery.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Commander, there is an enemy soldier who claims to be from our Eighth Route Army!" Wu Qin reported hurriedly.
"Where is he? Quick, take me there!" Zhou Weihan couldn't help but trembled.
Dozens of injured enemy soldiers were leaning on the tires of the truck. One of the officers had his right leg apparently broken off by a shell. He was pressing the wound tightly with both hands. While others were wailing, he was the only one gritting his teeth.
Zhou Weihan looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling.
"Are you a comrade lurking in the communications company of the 69th Army?" Zhou Weihan asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes, it's me!" the man said tremblingly.
"Where are the health workers? Why is no one here to bandage them? Come and bandage your own comrade first!" Zhou Weihan shouted.
"It's okay, I can bear it!"
"When you were able to break out, you slipped away in advance. Even if Shi Yousan found out, you would still break out!"
"I originally thought that if the Japanese reinforcements arrived, staying here with Shi Yousan would have a greater impact. Besides, the organization didn't let me evacuate, so how could I make my own decision?" The man said with a smile.
"Hidden and capable, lurking for a long time, accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity! This is the task assigned to me by the organization!" He still had a determined expression on his pale face caused by excessive blood loss.
After the health worker bandaged him, Zhou Weihan put him on a stretcher and asked: "Comrade, what is your name?"
"Li Yunshan!"
"Zhou Weihan" Zhou Weihan saluted with a military salute.
Li Yunshan lay on a stretcher and returned a military salute with his trembling right hand stained with blood.
Watching Li Yunshan being carried away, Zhou Weihan said to Dong Jiang beside him: "Dong Jiang, you and your people drive a truck to send Comrade Li Yunshan to the rear base. Make sure that the military doctors keep his life safe!"
