Three kilometers south of Shimenkou, behind a bend of Baijin Highway 3, the soldiers of the cavalry company were already waiting here.

They had to wait, so naturally the Captain Watanabe who fled south.

Otherwise, what if these people in the security team invisibly formed tacit cooperation? Just look at their reaction after receiving the battlefield notification.

Tian E and Wu Weng were responsible for pursuing the captain of Watanabe. However, after they knew that the cavalry company had gone south to intercept, they immediately dispersed the two companies to clean up some scattered Japanese soldiers, leaving Watanabe's main force for the cavalry company to deal with.

Even though this was the first official operation of the Cavalry Company, Tian E and the others were full of confidence in the Cavalry Company. Without it, the soldiers of the Cavalry Company were the most elite in the security regiment except for the Special War Reconnaissance Company! In other words, after more than a year of cavalry training, the soldiers of the Cavalry Company were more elite than the Special War Reconnaissance Company.

After all, the soldiers of the Special War Scout Company can only march on horseback and not fight on horseback, but the soldiers of the Cavalry Company can fight freely on horseback.

As for the combat level under the horse? Are there people who are not from special combat soldiers among the cavalry? How can they be worse?

Therefore, some people are trying to focus on key points and some are doing fragmentary matters. The commanders of the three companies cooperated with them in a very tacit understanding.

"Company Commander, the Japanese are here!" On the hill to the east, the observation post of the cavalry company had already discovered Watanabe and others who were running wildly.

"Very good! Cavalry squad, take a knife!" Zheng Peibin said in a low voice.

"Swish...swish..." 81 cavalry soldiers drew their swords and unsheathed them.

"The machine gun squad is ready to fire; the mortar squad is ready to bomb!" Zheng Peibin's voice was still steady.

"Crash..." On the hillside to the east, the three general heavy machine guns' machine gunners immediately pointed the muzzle of the general heavy machine gun at the intersection in the north.

Behind the cavalry team, four soldiers from the 82-force artillery group were already in place, and the loading hands were already holding the mortar shells and putting them in the muzzle.

This is Zheng Peibin's tactical arrangement: use mortars and heavy machine guns to attack the Japanese team and counterattack capabilities at a long range, and then the cavalry squad moves forward and use a saber to deal with the remaining Japanese soldiers.

"Company Commander, the Japanese entered the bombardment area of ​​mortar No. 1... Area No. 2... Area No. 3... Enter the heavy machine gun blockade area..." The observation post at the top of the mountain kept reporting Watanabe and the others' locations.

"Company Commander, the Japanese team has completely entered the machine gun blockade area! The enemy vanguard is 20 meters north of the reference No. 3! is walking quickly..." The latest enemy information report came.

"Fight! Open fire with all your might! Cavalry squad, prepare to charge!" Zheng Peibin shouted.

"Bangbang..." Zheng Peibin ordered, and the mortar team behind the cavalry team immediately fired 4 mortar shells. After the gunners fine-tuned, four more shells flew out...

For them who have already calculated the coordinate system, it is enough to only know the leading position of the Japanese team, and the rest is to blow it up.

"Dadadada, dadada..." While the mortar shells flew up, three machine gun groups on the hillside also opened fire at the same time. The three chains rolled rapidly, and one deadly bullet flew over Watanabe and the others.

"Nani?"

"Baga! It's a heavy machine gun, the enemy blocked the way forward!"

"Baga, avoid cannons, disperse, disperse..."

Faced with the sudden heavy firepower attack, the hundreds of remaining Japanese devils in Watanabe were immediately panicked and began to look for cover and disperse the team.

"Jiuchi...boom boom boom..." In the panic of the Japanese, four mortar shells fell from the sky, forming a blockade belt in front of the team, and also took away seven or eight fast-moving Japanese soldiers.

Then, three seconds later, another 4 82 mortar shells fell from the sky, and the death belt was blown up even north.

"Caval squad is ready..." Seeing the three rounds of artillery strikes, Zheng Peibin raised his saber: "Charge!"

With a sound of falling, Zheng Peibin clamped his legs and the horse's belly. The horse began to step forward and then trotted. Behind him, 81 cavalry with shining swords gradually accelerated with him.

"Stop the shelling!" Seeing Zheng Peibin's war horse crossing the curve, the shelling of the mortar team stopped, and only the heavy machine guns on the mountain were still firing.

"Heryl... rumble..." After the horse team passed the corner, they also increased their speed and headed straight for the Japanese in front.

At this time, more than half of the Japanese were injured and killed. The only dozens of them were still alive, and they were hiding behind the stones on both sides of the road and did not dare to move.

"Stop shooting!" Seeing that the cavalry's speed was getting faster and faster, the heavy machine gun team on the mountain also stopped shooting.

Of course, this was not good news for the alive Japanese, because shortly after the gunfire stopped, Zheng Peibin and his team arrived in the middle of the Japanese team.

Amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves, the blade cuts the skin and cuts the bones completely blocked. Only the saber can be seen flashing constantly in the sun. Every flashing will bring a bunch of blood.

The cavalry company's charge ended soon, with no casualties in the cavalry, and no Japanese survived. The advantage of weapons and the advantage of numbers of people allowed the cavalry company to play a beautiful blocking battle, and also declared the complete demise of Watanabe's brigade.

By the time Sun Dali spread the news that the puppet army was killed by the militia, Zheng Peibin had already completed the cleaning of Watanabe and their battlefield. Watanabe and their bodies were taken to the dry ditch of the cavalry team by the cavalry, and then dug a hole and buried it...

"This is... it's over!" Liu Gan asked unwillingly at the temporary command of the security team, looking at the information that had been summarized one by one.

"Yes, it's over! When our main force comes, the battle is over!" Hu Yizhou said expressionlessly.

"But... why do I feel not satisfied yet?" Liu Gan said with some anger.

"What else do you want to enjoy? It's satisfying to carry a bayonet to fight with the Japanese? Senior brother, it's different from the past! You and I have to learn to be a commander in the rear! As for leading troops to charge into battle, it's the life of those company commanders!"

"We are growing, and those company commanders also need to grow. When they learn to consider the situation from the overall situation, it means that they also need a bigger stage!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Yes, we are all growing, and our team is growing too! More than 100 regiments and more than 200,000 people participated in the battle. Such a feat was so feat we didn't dare to think about a few years ago! But it's happening now!" Liu Gan said.

"Yes, our team is developing too fast! But have you noticed that behind the rapid development, there is a general decline in combat effectiveness! Even if our team is constantly fighting and training, the growth rate of veterans has not kept up with the team's expansion speed!"

"This has led to the fact that the combat effectiveness of a regiment of two thousand people is not as high as that of a regiment of one thousand people before, or even a battalion! Those brothers who are close to us can make up for a little gap in weapons; those who are far away... are really no better than before!" Hu Yizhou said.

"But the number of people has increased, right? If you fight a few tough battles and temper them, you will naturally grow up! The sacrifice will be great!" Liu Gan said.

"Yes, the sacrifice will be great! If you look at our war losses today, you will know what I am pursuing!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Do we have any war losses? I haven't paid attention to it yet, let me see..." Liu Gan searched for a telegram from the document.

"How could it be that 150 were injured and 27 were sacrificed?" Liu Gan said in surprise.

"Your battalion sacrificed 10 and injured 23; the remaining ones are the Second Battalion, the Guard Company and the Cavalry Company! The second battalion suffered the most casualties, and the remaining numbers of sacrifices are from the Second Battalion!"

"Are you injured? The guard company is guarding Lijiapo and was injured by artillery shells. The cavalry company played a hedge with the Japanese cavalry squadron and injured 19!"

"I am responsible for this matter! Because the second battalion transferred the most cadres and veterans, but the recruits who were supplemented have not received the appropriate combat experience, this happened." Hu Yizhou said.

"Ahem, we are admiring this here, but if you report this war to your family, I'm afraid they will not only not say anything, but they will not be rewarded too late!" Liu Gan said.

"Yes, the difference can only be revealed! I think our battle loss is very high, but it's nothing to compare with others! But it's not possible. The second battalion needs training too much! I originally wanted Li Cheng to give them a chance, but the Japanese held back!"

"So, senior brother, please help me report to my superiors. In order to strengthen the defense capabilities in the west of Jiuzhai and to prevent the enemy's counterattack, I am going to place the Second Battalion here to consolidate the base area to prevent the Japanese from revenge next." Hu Yizhou said.

"Well... it's time to put the Second Battalion here for exercise! It would be great if we could let our Fourth Battalion come here too!" Liu Gan said.

"Don't think about good things! I saw that our Eastern and Southern Lines were safe, so I released the Second Battalion. However, the team at home is indispensable. Your second slope is very important, so I'd better stay there!" Hu Yizhou said.

"I understand this truth again? Forget it, let's defend the position! But this time, your sniper platoon is not useful. Don't you plan to leave the sniper platoon here?" Liu Gan asked.

"The soldiers of the sniper platoon have already been trained, but it's okay to release them. Anyway, the family is a waste of bullets in training, but they can still gain something when they release them!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Okay, I'll shoot the report when I get back! I'm afraid that even if the report is approved, you have to be the principal of your artillery school in Linjia Village. It's hard to go out and roam..." Liu Gan said.

"Principal, hello, principal! Look, we are invisibly at the same level as the bald one!" Hu Yizhou said with a smile.

"Ah haha..." Liu Gan was also amused.

The Japanese were annihilated, and the puppet troops that followed did not escape. The rest was to clean the battlefield, collect the spoils, and dig a hole to bury the cabinet. Well, the Japanese and puppet troops combined for more than 4,000, which made the soldiers of the security group clean up and buried them in the pit.

This busy work is at night, and it is much more tiring than fighting.

Piles of bonfires were lit around Lijiapo. After cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers gathered by the bonfires to have supper, and summarized their combat experience during the day.

Some experienced veterans are also providing psychological counseling to their new recruits through various methods, and instilling a fighting spirit.

On the outermost periphery of Lijiapo, the special operations reconnaissance company led by Hu Jin also gathered together. The three platoons were divided into three directions, taking care of everyone's eyes and ears, protecting this quiet night.

There was nothing to say all night. At dawn the next day, the security team had already begun to act separately. Hu Yizhou was going to take yesterday's capture, bring the first company of artillery, the fourth infantry battalion and the cavalry company back to Jiuzhai.

The Second Battalion, the special combat reconnaissance company with two guard companies and the sniper platoon returning to the queue must stay at Lijiapo to continue fighting. In order to enhance their long-range strike capabilities, four heavy mortar combat groups were also left at Lijiapo to fight.

Although the Eighth Route Army lacks artillery and artillery, the security team really does not lack this. The most correct thing Hu Yizhou did was to bring enough student soldiers at the beginning. Now, some of these student soldiers have long become the backbone of artillery...

From receiving Tian E's help telegram to now, I have been busy for a day and a night, and finally solved the problem here. Hu Yizhou can also return to Jiuzhai with confidence. As for Lijiapo, Hu Yizhou has not been there to watch it on site because there is no need for it.

But after doing this yesterday, it would be difficult for the Japanese devils, whether it was Gangzai Brigade or Yamazai Brigade, to attack Jiuzhai from here.

Hu Yizhou really wanted the Japanese to attack again, but it depends on whether the Japanese were ready to lose another brigade...

Although I joined the war yesterday, I was still on the way this morning, I still have to take the artillery course today.

These artillery cadets who were fighting throughout the process experienced a regiment-level battle with infantry and artillery, which would be very beneficial to their future growth.

Hu Yizhou came back with his men, and Guo Junxu became busy again. The charcoal car from the Logistics Support Battalion began to transport back and forth between Jiuzhai and Jinger Town. The pack horses and horses that were returned to the Artillery Battalion were not rested. Guo Junxu was temporarily seconded to the Logistics Support Battalion, preparing to use these large animals to transport some ammunition to the west.

In Wuxiang, there are more than 1,400 security regiment soldiers there and a militia brigade there. Guo Jun needs to send them sufficient ammunition.
Chapter completed!
