The Japanese squadron leader was also panicked.

Before being attacked, his combat plan was to use three lines of defense to consume some national rescue troops, evacuate the battlefield, retreat to the county town to fight the national rescue troops, and then plot a counterattack.

But the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

At the beginning of the attack, the situation on the battlefield began to deviate from the combat plan, and the attack speed of the National Salvation Army was particularly fast.

Faced with the accidents of one after another, I fell into a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides before I had time to make any adjustments.

There are attacking troops in front and encirclement troops in the back, and the retreat may be cut off at any time. There are also national rescue troops inside to make trouble, drag themselves down, so that the troops cannot do their best to block the attacking troops or lead troops to break through...

In this crisis, the squadron leader didn't know what to do.

At the last moment, he decided to save his life first.

The Imperial Army has been shocked, its morale is low, and it may surrender at any time. The artillery and heavy machine gun troops located on the third line of defense have also been attacked, and their lives and deaths are unknown. The only position that can be relied on has also been broken, and the national rescue troops are everywhere...

At this time, the squadron leader had no chance to turn defeat into victory, either retreating to save his life or died here in battle.

Moreover, the current battlefield advantages are all on the National Salvation Army. Even if you choose to fight to the end, you will be easily killed by the National Salvation Army.

It means that you and your subordinates will die meaninglessly.

In this case, saving your life first, retreating to other positions, and then fighting with the National Rescue Army is undoubtedly the best choice.

"The entire army retreated, divided the troops from the two wings of the position to break through, and all retreated to the defensive position three kilometers away. We continued to block the National Rescue Army there..." The squadron leader thought of it and turned around and started running away after giving the order.

The Japanese guards near him surrounded him tightly, and some traitors loyal to the Japanese quickly followed, fearing that they would fall behind.

The puppet army, who did not want to continue to work hard for the Japanese, hid in the chaos, preparing to wait for the national rescue army to come and surrender and become a prisoner...

When Zhou Cheng stood on the blocking position that the Japanese and puppet troops had worked hard to build, the gunfire on the battlefield had stopped.

The soldiers of the Xiyang garrison were cleaning the battlefield and gathering prisoners...

Captain Dong Fei ran over with excitement: "Captain, the battle was fought so quickly just now. The reconnaissance team was defeated by assaulting the Japanese and puppet troops. They are worthy of being the strongest combat-capable force of our National Salvation Army..."

"Among the more than 1,000 Japanese and puppet troops stationed here, except for more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops who escaped in the chaos, we beat more than 200 people to death by us, and the remaining more than 600 people were all captured by us..."

"The investigation team also took down the Japanese artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions, and seized three mortars and four heavy machine guns that the Japanese and puppet troops had no time to destroy and take away..."

"We also seized at least twenty intact light machine guns from the hands of the puppet army."

"In order to kill us, the Japanese have invested a lot this time. Each company of the puppet army is equipped with three light machine guns, which is half more than before. Except for some of the machine guns that were blown up by us with grenades, most of the light machine guns are intact and can be used if seized!"

After listening to the report, Zhou Cheng also smiled, but it didn't last long.

Looking at the analysis of several battalion company commanders, "The first attack is definitely the best one."

"The Japanese and puppet troops didn't know that we would launch an attack tonight, and the reconnaissance team was the head of the reconnaissance team. They successfully touched the noses of the Japanese and puppet troops and launched an attack, caught the enemy off guard, and then quickly interspersed, and the central government broke through, defeated the morale and morale of the puppet troops, thus achieving victory."

"The next attack will be difficult."

"After we know that we start the attack, we will definitely be more vigilant and will not give us the chance to attack them again."

"So the real tough battle has just begun. The battle that just ended is just an appetizer. Only by laughing all the way to the end can it be considered to be a real victory over the Japanese and puppet troops!"

"The garrison left a company to guard the prisoners and clean the battlefield. The other troops gathered immediately and set out ten minutes later to head straight for the second house position of the Japanese and puppet troops."

"The artillery troops must keep up with the speed of the infantry, and the next battle is likely to require them to go to the battlefield."

In the base of Shouyang Independent Regiment, more than 300 cavalrymen lurking here were already waiting for the battle and ready to launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops' positions at any time.

After confirming that the Eighth Route Army had no time to take care of itself and would not help the National Salvation Army attack the occupied area, the Japanese commander transferred half of the garrison on the position.

Although the process was very concealed, it still did not escape the eyes of the scouts of the Independent Regiment.

Behind the cavalry, the ten artillery pieces of the National Salvation Army that had just reinforced the Shouyang Independent Regiment and the seven artillery pieces they equipped themselves were all set up.

The cavalry not only brought all the weapons and ammunition to the Shouyang Independent Regiment to compensate the National Savior Army, but also brought five hundred more shells.

Tonight, all these five hundred shells will be used on the Japanese and puppet troops in front.

In addition to the more than 300 cavalry lurking here by the National Rescue Army, the Shouyang Independent Regiment also sent a battalion to participate in the battle, preparing to follow the cavalry troops and beat the water dogs, kill all the more than 1,000 Japanese and puppet troops blocking the gate of the base area, and occupy their positions, and acted as if they were to seize the Japanese occupied area.

"Boom boom boom..." The dull sound of mountain cannons quickly rang out on the artillery positions.

Mortars also joined the battle at this moment, and more than ten shells flew to the Japanese and puppet troops' positions.

The Japanese supervising the battle first realized the danger, yelled and jumped into the trench, then hugged their heads to the ground to avoid artillery fire.

The puppet army's reaction was slower. Many people only reacted after seeing the shells hit nearby and exploded. They shouted and jumped into the trenches to save their lives...

"Boom..." The explosion soon rang out in the Japanese and puppet troops' positions.

In less than a minute, the soil and smoke from the explosion of the shells covered the entire position. Under the night, the Japanese and puppet troops hiding in the trenches could not see the situation in front of the position at all!

Cavalry battalion commander Tao Yongsheng personally commanded more than 300 cavalrymen here, staring at the watch on his arms, silently calculating in his heart how long the shelling would last.

Although there are many more than 500 shells, they are only enough for more than ten artillery fire continuously for more than three minutes.

Just three minutes later, Tao Yongsheng pulled out his saber, pointed forward, and rushed towards the battlefield with his cavalry troops, running faster and faster.

He had calculated it before the attack.

It took half a minute for the cavalry troops to fight from the starting point to the battlefield, and the assault speed at that time was just as extreme.

When the shelling lasts for three minutes, at most thirty seconds, all five hundred shells will be wiped out.

This means that when the cavalry rushed to the front of the Japanese and puppet troops' positions, the shelling just ended.

At that time, the cavalry's assault speed had reached its peak, and they could enter the Japanese and puppet troops' positions in three or four seconds.

No matter how fast the Japanese on the position reacted, they could not react within three or four seconds.

The ongoing shelling was too fierce, and the violent explosion must have shocked all the Japanese and puppet troops to be dizzy. Even if the shelling was over, it would take several seconds for their ears to recover from hearing. With hearing, the Japanese could react.

At that time, the cavalry troops had already reached their sight.

If you raise your sword, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops on the position will be killed by the cavalry.

Moreover, Tao Yongsheng's goal was not to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops here.

He just needs to quickly pass through the Japanese and puppet troops under the cover of artillery fire and enter the enemy-occupied area to complete the task.

"Kill..." The time was just right. When the battlefield was still lasting thirty meters away, the explosions on the battlefield stopped all at once. Tao Yongsheng raised his knife and shouted, preparing to launch a final assault on the enemy.

In the trenches filled with smoke, most of the Japanese and puppet troops were dizzy when bombed, and some soldiers were buried directly in the trenches, with life and death unknown.

After feeling the explosion in his ears stopped, the Japanese quickly got up, shook his head hard, and shake off the dust on his head, which could also help the buzzing ears to recover their hearing faster.

Two or three seconds later, the buzzing sound in his ears was slowly replaced by the sound of horse hooves caused by the cavalry assault, and the positions under his feet began to tremble with the roar.

Although the ground was trembling when the artillery bombardment was bombed, the Japanese and puppet troops mistakenly believed that it was caused by the explosion of artillery shells.

Now that the shelling has stopped, the ground is still trembling, and the roar that replaced the buzzing sound has become louder and louder, and the fool also knows that there are cavalry coming towards them in front.

"Bageya Road, the enemy attacking us has cavalry... Everyone is ready for combat, the machine gunner is ready to shoot..." The fastest-responsive lieutenant shouted.

After giving orders, he quickly stretched out his head from the trench, raised a rifle of the dead soldiers, and prepared for the battle.

When he saw the situation in front of him clearly, he suddenly panicked and his eyes became frightened.

The opponent did have cavalry, but they had already rushed to the front of the position, and one of the cavalry rushed towards him, less than five meters away.

The sabre that emitted a cold light was held high in the hands of the cavalry, and the sharp blade was aimed at him. As long as he rushed forward, the sabre of the sabre would slash at his neck...

At the moment of crisis at the moment of life and death, it is definitely too late to put bullets on the rifle and then shoot and eliminate the opponent.

The captain subconsciously blocked the rifle in front of him and prevented the saber from slashing at him.

The rifle and the saber quickly collided with each other, making a crisp metallic impact, and a huge force also spread from the rifle to his tiger's mouth, which shocked him almost to stand firm.

The cavalry who failed to hit the attack did not cut the second sword, and directly crossed his side without even turning his head back.

The second lieutenant was about to breathe a sigh of relief when a sword light appeared on the other side of him.

Subconsciously raised his gun to block it, but this time he was not so lucky. The saber continued to slash down along the body of the rifle, and directly cut off his right fingers holding the gun.

Losing one hand, the rifle could not continue to use force to block the saber. Facing the saber that the third cavalry slashed over, he could only watch his head and body separate, and finally fell to the ground with despair and horror...

All this happened very quickly. More than 300 cavalrymen crossed the Japanese and puppet troops' positions in just over ten seconds!
