The infantry captain, Yamada Kinoe, who was ambushed by the Lunan Detachment, now had only one thought: break out!

His order was met with a response from the remaining Japanese soldiers. Those of the 2nd Company under Nigomiya Uemon who could stand shouted, "Break out!"

At the same time, they strode forward. This was a main road, and even if it was filled with smoke and dust, the road could still be clearly distinguished.

The shouts of Japanese soldiers rang out in front and behind him, and Captain Yamada Kinoe's panicked heart calmed down a bit.

He began to think about the current situation: the infantry battalion was ambushed, and regardless of whether the two regiments of puppet troops behind them were ambushed, as long as everyone worked together and put their efforts in one direction, they would definitely be able to break out of the encirclement, and even counter-encircle the enemy.

It would be wonderful to defeat the Chinese army or guerrillas who ambushed them! This was a very beautiful wish!

At this time, Captain Yamada Kinoe did not know that the two puppet army regimental commanders behind him had issued orders to retreat.

The hope placed on them was destined to fail.

The vanguard captain of his battalion, Miki Juro, had just issued an order to charge forward when he heard the same order from behind.

This encouraged the squadron leader Endo Taiyu and his men who were charging, and their pace became much more powerful.

Sergeant Kato Yuto was one of those encouraged. His luck was indeed good today. In the battle to encircle and suppress Kitakaze Niro, he was shot by Kitakaze Niro, hitting his waist, but it was actually blocked by the kettle he had placed on his waist.

The kettle had a hole, the water flowed away, and a bullet rattled inside the kettle.

When resting on the bank of the Yi River, many Japanese soldiers regarded it as a novelty and passed it around for fun.

In the previous directional mine explosion, at least three Japanese soldiers fell beside him, and a miraculous thing happened again: Kato Yuto was unharmed again.

The continuous occurrence of this kind of thing gave Sergeant Kato Yuto infinite courage. He believed that this was the blessing of Amaterasu, and he could ignore all the injuries on the battlefield.

Now he was charging at the very front of the entire team, able to hear the whistling sound of bullets flying past his ears.

He could also hear the struggling groans, wails, and cries for help from the injured Japanese soldiers on the ground.

These sounds could not make him turn back. He just bent over, hunched his head, and charged forward with his gun.

Behind him, Japanese soldiers were constantly shot and fell, but he was the only one who was fine. Such a warrior also gave courage to the Japanese soldiers behind him.

Squadron leader Endo Taiyu, who was charging behind the team, finally couldn't bear the casualties: less than ten Japanese soldiers remained in his squadron.

The rest of the squadron followed them about twenty meters behind. Squadron leader Endo Taiyu ordered: "Lie down, shoot! Take out the enemy's firing points."

Hearing his order, the Japanese soldiers in the entire squadron breathed a sigh of relief. If it hadn't been for Kato Yuto leading the charge in front without the slightest hesitation, these Japanese soldiers would have already crawled on the ground, ready to hide from the hail of bullets coming from the opposite side.

It was all because of this unkillable Kato Yuto. He seemed to be immune to bullets, so he charged without any scruples, causing the entire squadron to keep up. As a result, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers died in this distance.

These Japanese soldiers had all escaped from the explosion by chance. More than half of their strength had been lost in the less than thirty meters of charging. Squadron leader Endo Taiyu's heart was bleeding.

The Japanese soldiers charging at the front of the entire Yamada Kinoe battalion all lay down, equivalent to the blade of a sharp knife being broken.

Captain Yamada Kinoe, who was temporarily commanding from the rear, was not yet aware of this situation, but Company commander Miki Juro quickly rushed up and stared at Squadron leader Endo: "You! Why not charge?"

Squadron leader Endo Taiyu lay on the ground: "My squadron has suffered heavy casualties and is unable to charge!"

In the haze, Company commander Miki Juro was not sure whether what Squadron leader Endo said was true or false, but not many Japanese soldiers rushed up with him.

In total, only twenty or so Japanese soldiers had rushed up. It was very difficult, simply impossible, to charge to the firing points that were constantly firing with such a force.

He could only order the Sanmoto Company: "Defend in place! Take out the enemy's firing points."

Take out the enemy's firing points! The order was easy to give, but the task was difficult to complete!

About fifty meters in front of them was a one-meter-high fortification, a fortification made of grass bags.

On the less than ten-meter-wide fortification, there were five machine guns firing. Company commander Miki Juro, who had seen the situation in front of him clearly, gasped: the enemy on the opposite side was too cunning, their machine guns were not set up on top of the fortification to fire, but left a small firing hole in the middle of the stacked grass bags.

Such a fortification was completely in the style of a fortress.

Company commander Kong Heze was also satisfied with the fortifications built by his company on the road: when the grass bags were used to build the fortifications, two layers were used, and firing holes were left in advance. After they were built, wooden supports were used to support them obliquely, protecting the heads of the soldiers.

With such fortifications, even if the Japanese soldiers threw a grenade or launched a grenade launcher, it would not cause any harm to the soldiers inside the fortifications.

The soldiers hiding in the fortifications only needed to aim and fire at the Japanese soldiers, and they didn't need to worry about their own protection at all.

The Feixian Security Second Regiment, which followed his company's example, helped build this fortification together.

Regimental commander Zhang Xiuru was greatly envious after seeing the finished product, and couldn't believe that such a fortification was built together by himself.

What kind of fortification was this? It was simply a simple fortress.

The soldiers were sniping at the Japanese soldiers in such a fortification, and they didn't have to worry about stray bullets or other injuries at all, they just needed to fire their guns.

At this time, Zhang Xiuru was not here. He was following the First Company quietly approaching the Japanese soldiers from the left side of the road.

From the sound of the explosion until now, it had been less than five minutes. The Japanese soldiers always thought that the team blocking them was in front.

There were also gunshots coming from both sides of them, but they were not dense. Captain Yamada Kinoe was unwilling to let the team charge into the fields, so his first choice for a breakout route was the front.

The Japanese soldiers broke through to the front, and the attack from the front was extremely fierce. The Miki Juro company, which was charging in the front, had already laid down. They no longer continued to charge, but were lying on the ground firing back at the Lunan Detachment blocking the road in front of them.

Company commander Kobayashi Taiyu led the remaining eighty or so Japanese soldiers of his company and charged up.

At this time, the strength of the Kobayashi Taiyu company completely surpassed that of the Miki company.

As a company commander, he saw the situation clearly at a glance when he rushed to the front: the number of Miki Juro company was too small, and they were no longer able to charge.

Company commander Kobayashi Taiyu did not hesitate, and he took the initiative to take over the task of charging. Under the command of the company commander "Kill!", the Japanese soldiers of the Kobayashi company continued to charge forward.

When his company set off from the bank of the Yi River, they had worked hard to try to be the vanguard, but they were ruthlessly rejected by Captain Yamada Kinoe.

The glory of the vanguard was snatched away by Miki Juro, and now seeing the Miki company shrinking back on the ground pretending to be dead, Company commander Kobayashi Taiyu certainly wanted to stand up and show off.

He wanted to use actual combat results to show Captain Yamada Kinoe: The Kobayashi Taiyu company was stronger in combat. Da Feng Novel

The Japanese soldiers of the Kobayashi Taiyu company were all clear about this. Now was the time for them to show their strength and win glory for the entire company.

Sergeant Nikko Daito was a member of the Kobayashi Taiyu company. At this time, he obeyed the company commander's order and looked at the Japanese soldiers of the Miki Juro company lying on the ground with contempt.

Sergeant Kato Yuto's eyes happened to meet his, and instantly Sergeant Kato Yuto turned his eyes elsewhere, not daring to look Nikko Daito in the eye.

The Japanese soldiers of the Miki Juro company were certainly clear in their hearts: lying here was obviously because they were afraid.

One look made Sergeant Nikko Daito gain great psychological satisfaction, and he laughed loudly.

Taking big steps, he continued to charge forward, and his behavior made the Japanese soldiers of the entire Kobayashi Taiyu company instantly wake up.

These Japanese soldiers no longer shouted "Kill!", they all laughed as they looked at the Miki company lying on the ground and rushed past them.

Some flamboyant Japanese soldiers even directly stepped over the bodies of the Japanese soldiers of the Miki Juro company.

Such naked contempt and intentional insult made all the remaining twenty or so Japanese soldiers of the Miki Juro company angry.

They could only be angry, none of the Japanese soldiers got up and followed the Kobayashi Taiyu company to charge, even Sergeant Kato Yuto, who had just been charging at the very front of the Miki Juro company, just silently endured the Japanese soldiers of the Kobayashi company stepping over him one after another.

The Japanese soldiers of the Miki Juro company were greatly stimulated, and these Japanese soldiers lying on the ground had just been trying to fire, hoping to suppress the machine gun fire on the opposite side.

Although they had never achieved their goal, their firepower suddenly weakened a lot.

In fact, among the remaining twenty or so Japanese soldiers of the Miki Juro company, there was only one light machine gun, and the rest were all rifles, which originally posed no threat to the Twelfth Company, which had the protection of fortifications.

The greatest role of their firing was to comfort themselves with the sound of gunfire, and fear had long since permeated their entire bodies.

What disappointed the Japanese soldiers of both companies was: whether it was the firepower of the Miki Juro company, or the charge of the Kobayashi Taiyu company that rushed to the front later, it had no impact on the Lunan Detachment inside the fortifications in front of them.

The machine gun fire on the opposite side shot down twenty or so Japanese soldiers of the Kobayashi Taiyu company who had just launched a charge during this period.

The Japanese soldiers charging in the front continued to fall, and the Japanese soldiers of the Kobayashi Taiyu company finally recognized the reality and did not dare to be arrogant.

They quickly learned from the Japanese soldiers of the Miki Juro company and all lay down on the ground.

The laughter they made when they charged had been replaced by the wailing of the wounded and dying Japanese soldiers lying on the ground.

When they were all lying on the ground, bursts of snickers came from the Miki Juro company behind them.

The Japanese soldiers of the Miki Juro company were even somewhat grateful to the Lunan Detachment on the opposite side, thanking them for destroying the arrogance of the Kobayashi Taiyu company and knocking them down as well, so they lay motionless on the ground.

The snickers behind them made the Japanese soldiers of the Kobayashi Taiyu company angry: They were incompetent, but they dared to laugh at us warriors!

If it were not for the strict prohibition of infighting on the battlefield, Sergeant Nikko Daito would have thrown a grenade backwards.

In the end, he still threw the grenade forward hatefully. The fortifications in front of them were only thirty meters away.

The grenades could be thrown in, and there were sixty or so Japanese soldiers crawling in this distance in the Kobayashi Taiyu company.

Most of them threw grenades forward, hoping to blow up a few firing points on the other side.

The grenades exploded inside the enemy's fortifications, and the smoke raised by the explosions was clearly visible, but the machine guns on the opposite side were not affected at all.

This made the Japanese soldiers of the Kobayashi Taiyu company uncomfortable. Was the Lunan Detachment on the opposite side immune to grenades?

The machine guns of their company were set up, and the two sides exchanged fire. Grenade launchers of the Nigomiya Uemon company at a farther distance also fired at this place, supporting the breakthrough of the two companies in front.

Company commander Nigomiya Uemon clearly saw that the grenades launched by the grenade launchers exploded inside the enemy's fortifications, but the machine guns on the opposite side were not affected.

What was going on?

Gu Xiuming was 100% confident in the fortifications built by the Eleventh and Twelfth Companies on the road.

Therefore, his main energy now was not focused on the Japanese battalion breaking through forward.

The main energy of the First Regiment was focused on cutting off the retreat of the Japanese soldiers. The puppet troops who were originally following behind the Japanese battalion took the initiative to retreat.

The gaps left after their retreat were immediately rushed up and blocked by the First and Second Companies.

At the same time, the Third Company followed behind the puppet troops, driving the puppet troops towards the opposite bank as if they were herding ducks.

Company commander Dai Tiancheng of the Third Company kept shouting to his men: "Drive them slower! Drive them slower!"

This group of puppet troops were like ducks, if they were driven too fast, they would not be able to run fast enough, and the flock would be startled and run around.

Only by driving them at a moderate pace would these puppet troops hurriedly keep up with the team in front of them, and they would honestly escape into the ambush circle of the two regiments of the Lunan Detachment on the right bank of the Yi River.

The speed and timing in the middle were difficult to grasp. The soldiers of the Third Company of the Lunan Detachment and the Third Company of the Second Regiment of the Feixian Security had been lurking on the ground for six hours.

Now chasing these puppet troops was like exercising their hands and feet. Running these few hundred meters just warmed up their hands and feet.

As they chased, their speed increased, and Company commander Dai Tiancheng had to remind the soldiers: "Slow down! Slow down! Let the puppet troops run for a while and let them catch their breath."

It was only a few hundred meters, and before they reached the bank of the Yi River, hundreds of puppet troops had squatted down on the road. They threw their rifles in the middle of the road and squatted honestly on the ground with their hands on their heads.

This posture clearly told the Lunan Detachment who were chasing after them: We surrender! We don't have any weapons!

These puppet troops had all run a few steps, and they found that the Lunan Detachment chasing after them were running easily.

The smarter puppet troops immediately threw away their guns and stopped running. Anyway, they couldn't escape, so it was better to surrender earlier.

Company commander Dai had to let a squad of his men, with a platoon of the Third Company of the Security, guard these puppet troops who took the initiative to surrender.

The weapons were collected together, and these puppet troops were gathered together to be guarded.

Company commander Dai Tiancheng looked at these puppet troops who really didn't have much fighting spirit and ordered the soldiers chasing them to shout while chasing: "Surrender and you won't be killed!"

The soldiers who trained assassination every morning were practicing shouting "Kill!" every day.

Hundreds of people shouted "Surrender and you won't be killed!" at the same time. The sound was truly earth-shattering.

Many of the puppet troops who were running heard it, and they looked back in panic to see the puppet troops who were squatting on the ground surrendering, one by one standing up and watching them run away easily.

As if they were all irrelevant people. So more puppet troops stopped running and stood still. Everyone understood the rules: throw the guns in the middle of the road and stand on both sides of the road.

So that the weapons could be seen by the people who were chasing them, and their own hands also had to be seen, so as not to cause misunderstandings.

Regimental commander Tian Huacai only asked Regimental commander Gu Xiuming after the sound of the explosion came: "Regimental commander Gu! Do you want the two regiments on the right bank to come over to assist?"

Gu Xiuming immediately understood when he heard his request: "Regimental commander Tian! At least two thousand puppet troops are fleeing in your direction, you must be prepared."

Hearing that two thousand puppet troops were fleeing in his direction, Tian Huacai's voice immediately became loud: "Yes! Our pockets are ready. We can load goods at any time."

Gu Xiuming said with a smile: "All the people who escaped are puppet troops! We don't know their combat effectiveness, but they didn't hesitate at all when they escaped!"

Regimental commander Tian Huacai: "Understood!"

These puppet troops would run away when they were frightened and would not participate in the battle at all. This was to remind himself to be careful and not let the puppet troops run away and get scattered.

Regimental commander Tian Huacai said to Regimental commander Zhao Zheng with a smile on his face: "Regimental commander Gu said: Two thousand puppet troops are coming to our side again.

These puppet troops are frightened birds, let us be careful and don't let them run away."

Tian Huacai's First Security Regiment had participated in the battle yesterday, and the equipment of the entire regiment had been replenished once. He didn't have much opinion about waiting for six hours today without launching an attack.

Regimental commander Zhao Zheng's opinion was very big, he watched the Japanese and puppet troops walk past under his nose, entered his encirclement, and then walked out again.

He was always afraid that he would end up with nothing today. Now he heard that two thousand puppet troops were coming to deliver their heads.

His face immediately lit up with a smile: "Old Tian! How do you say to fight, I will fight. Everything is up to you.

You and Regimental commander Gu have good vision, waiting for half a day and letting the Japanese soldiers throw themselves into the net and easily wipe them out."

Regimental commander Tian Huacai said with a smile: "My opinion is: We should only use a few of the directional mines we buried first to let the puppet troops know how powerful they are.

Then everyone stands up to let the puppet troops know that they are surrounded! At the same time, we will shout for them to lay down their weapons and surrender.

If they continue to resist stubbornly, then there is no need to be polite, directly detonate all our directional mines and rush up and kill them all."

"Okay!"

This time Regimental commander Zhao Zheng's attitude was very low. In his opinion, as long as there were puppet troops to fight, that was enough.

The two regiments on the right bank of the Yi River had been prepared for a long time, and now they were finally able to see the puppet troops fleeing in a panic.

Behind them, there was a company of the Lunan Detachment chasing after them.

Of course, the fastest to escape were the two puppet army regimental commanders riding war horses. Regimental commander Tian Huacai only ordered when he saw that they were about to escape from the encirclement.

The First Company set off two directional artillery shells.

The puppet troops who were fleeing heard the sound of the explosion and saw that the two regimental commanders who were running the fastest had fallen in a pool of blood.

Before they could react, countless figures stood up around them, all of them shouting: "Lay down your weapons, surrender and you won't be killed."

"Lay down your weapons, surrender and you won't be killed!"

The shouts were deafening, and none of these puppet troops hesitated, all of them threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt down on the ground all at once, motionless.

Those guards who were escaping with the puppet army regimental commander Huan Anran, they were riding war horses and were lucky enough not to be blown up by the bombs just now.

At this time, not only did they not surrender, but they even thought about continuing to escape.

A dozen or so puppet troops riding war horses awakened from the panic just now, and immediately whipped their horses and wanted to continue to escape.

They ran out less than five steps, and there were two more explosions, and at the same time, countless bullets flew over.

Thousands of puppet troops saw the dozen or so puppet troops who tried to escape being blown down on the ground.

The soldiers surrounding them rushed up and stabbed each of the puppet troops who were trying to escape.

Seeing that those officers and their guards had all fallen in a pool of blood, these ordinary puppet troops suddenly felt much more cheerful.

From the time they left Xuzhou yesterday, these ordinary puppet troops had been traveling on foot, and they were hot, thirsty, and tired along the way.

Only these officers and their guards were all traveling on four legs. Not only did they not help these people, but they also used their whips to urge these people to walk faster from time to time.

Now seeing that they were all blown to death, they felt that the grievances in their hearts had suddenly been vented by these people from the Lunan Detachment, and suddenly they felt a little grateful to the people who had captured them.

Regimental commander Zhao Zheng looked at the nearly two thousand puppet troops who had been captured and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He kept stroking the captured machine guns and heavy machine guns with both hands and was unwilling to let them go.

Company commander Dai Tiancheng saw that the battle on the right bank of the Yi River had ended, and immediately led the team back: The battle with the Japanese soldiers on the left bank had not ended, and gunshots could still be heard.

Gu Xiuming knew from Regimental commander Tian Huacai's report that dozens of the puppet troops who had escaped to the right bank had died, and the rest had all surrendered.

Regimental commander Tian had only used four of the directional mines he had set up, and all the puppet troops had surrendered.

He couldn't help but praise: "Good job! Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, you stunned the puppet troops all at once."

The battle here was going on very fiercely, and Captain Yamada Kinoe finally came to the front line. He personally saw that the grenades thrown by the Kobayashi Taiyu company clearly went into the enemy's fortifications, but they did not affect the shooting on the opposite side at all.

This made him suddenly sober up, and the three thousand puppet troops who were originally behind his team did not follow.

This made him have to painfully order: "Retreat! Retreat the way we came!"

He was clear: The two puppet army infantry regiments following behind must have retreated the way they came.

Under the order of Captain Yamada Kinoe, the rear of the entire battalion of Japanese soldiers became the front, and they began to retreat backwards.
