Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 56 Victory Again
Misty rain and mist, filled with gunpowder smoke, the west entrance of Qigen Village has formed a purgatory on earth, a purgatory for devils.

The 11th and 12th companies blocked the Japanese cavalry, allowing them to watch the Japanese in the baggage troops fall one by one, but they were unable to rescue them.

Since only one-third of the fighters of the 772rd Battalion of the [-] Regiment have replaced the [-] cover, most of the other fighters still use Hanyang-made, Chinese-made, or even old artillery barrels produced decades ago. The weapons are much inferior to those of the Devils. The time battle is at a stalemate.

Relying on strong fire support, the devil soldiers covered each other, huddled behind the cart, or leaned against the cliff, and organized forces to counterattack many times.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, which seriously affected the combat vision. The 772nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment marched slowly due to the slippery mountain roads, and it was delayed.

Wang Jinshan had no choice but to order the 3rd Battalion to block the intersection with machine guns, cut open the enemy, and prevent the enemy from concentrating superior forces to counterattack and break through.

Xiao Chuan hid in the hole dug in advance. When the battle started, countless sniper skills, breathing, wind speed, rain and other precautions emerged in his mind.

"Snapped."

One shot pierced the helmet of a Jap mortarer, and the Jap soldier tilted his head and fell to the ground.

Another devil next to him immediately picked up the cannonball, ready to fire the cannon.

Xiao Chuan held his breath, closed one eye, and aimed at the devil's head.

"Snapped"

The devil's brain burst and he fell to the ground.

Xiao Chuan killed two devils one after another, rolled to the side in a hurry, then stood up, leaned over, ran more than ten meters away, and jumped into another bunker dug in advance.

As soon as Xiao Chuan entered the bunker, there was an explosion sound at the position where he was lying on his stomach. It turned out that two devil mortarmen were killed one after another, which attracted the devil's attention. The devil next to him immediately adjusted the muzzle and bombed over.

Fortunately, Xiao Chuan has countless sniper rules in his mind, the most important of which is to fight together and change places.

Xiao Chuan continued to choose the devil's machine gunner or mortar gunner to snipe, regardless of whether he hit or not, he ran away after hitting.

Now the weapons of the Eighth Route Army are not as good as the devils, and the number of people does not have an absolute advantage. They can only rely on the terrain to shoot at the devils.

Sharpshooters such as Xiao Chuan and Yang Shaoqing played a huge role.

The commander of the Fusang Army saw that the Eighth Route Army hadn't charged all the time, but was only sniping. He knew that the Eighth Route Army's ambush troops were insufficient, so he didn't rush to attack. Alternate cover, trying to join the combat troops on both sides and the supply troops in the middle, waiting for the opportunity to break through.

The ambush turned into an attack and lasted all afternoon. As the sky gradually darkened and the rain stopped, the gunfire from the Eighth Route Army position gradually became sparse.

The patience of the captain of the 20rd Battalion of the 80th Infantry Regiment of the [-]th Division of the Fusang Army was rewarded: "The Tuba Road has no more bullets. I ordered that the firepower be strengthened immediately. Join the guard team and retreat back to Ceyu Town."

In the dim night, the devils concentrated their firepower, and mortar shells, grenades, and light and heavy machine gun bullets rained down on the heads of the soldiers responsible for blocking the company on both sides.

The soldiers couldn't lift their heads at all, so they could only watch helplessly as the devils escaped from the encirclement in two ways.

Standing in front of the regiment headquarters, Wang Jinshan regretfully smashed his left fist on the palm of his right hand, sighed, and said, "Oh, if I had a weapon like that of the little devils, I would have punched their shit out a long time ago."

The commander of the third battalion reported the results of the battle as usual: "Report to Commander Wang, our third battalion and the spy company killed more than 100 devils in this battle, captured dozens of mules and horses, and many military supplies."

Wang Jinshan asked, "How about our casualties?"

The third battalion commander said: "We sacrificed 5 people, seriously injured 8 people, and slightly injured 10 people."

Wang Jinshan said: "Go arrange the transfer."

"Yes."

The commander of the third battalion paid a military salute and turned around to make arrangements.

Seeing Yang Shaoqing and Xiao Chuan coming, Wang Jinshan felt a little better, and said, "Lao Yang, how many devils will we eliminate this time?"

Yang Shaoqing said with a simple and honest smile: "Report to the head of the group, I killed 8 devils."

Wang Jinshan looked at Xiao Chuan again, and said, "Xiao Chuanzi, did you kill the devil?"

Xiao Chuan straightened his chest and said, "Report to the commander, I killed 5 devils."

Wang Jinshan said happily: "Oh, our Xiaochuanzi is still a sharp shooter, this time our 772 regiment picked up a treasure."

Xiao Chuan chuckled, and said, "Hey, I hunted with my father since I was a child, and I used a shotgun. Killing devils is similar to killing rich wolves."

Xiao Chuan is also not afraid of wearing gangsters, as soon as he travels to this historical time and space, his identity and age have already been designed by the system, which is okay, this is the halo of the protagonist.

Wang Jinshan laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, Xiao Chuanzi is right. Our Eighth Route Army is going to kill devils like a wolf. Why are devils invincible? Yesterday we killed more than 300 people, and today we killed more than 100 people. Devils Isn’t it also the meat born by the parents?”

Yang Shaoqing said: "Captain, you killed a few Japs this time."

Wang Jinshan said: "There are still ten, same as yesterday, the little devil has learned to be cunning this time, and when he saw something bad, he hurriedly hid, and was not in a hurry to attack."

Yang Shaoqing said: "It is estimated that we were afraid of being beaten."

At this time, the commander of the third battalion came back and said, "Commander Wang, the devil's military uniform has been stripped off, all weapons and ammunition have been collected, and the soldiers and the transport convoy have been tidied up. Please give me an order."

Wang Jinshan waved his hand and said, "Let's go to Gong's Village on the east side of Huangyadi. Commander Ye has already led the other battalions of our regiment to march there."

Soldiers who can ride horses rode the newly captured Fusang Army horses and ran to the front for reconnaissance. Xiao Chuan drove a jeep, Yang Shaoqing and several soldiers from the car squad drove the captured trucks, followed by the third battalion and the secret agents. Some soldiers in the first row of the company rode horses, some walked, and escorted the baggage to the bottom of the Yellow Cliff.

Sitting in the back of the jeep driven by Xiao Chuan, Wang Jinshan gradually fell into a dream with the bumpy mountain road.

This lunatic king, a generation of tiger generals, who is desperate to fight, probably hasn't had a good sleep in the past three days.

Xiao Chuan carefully avoided the potholes and gravel on the mountain road, trying to make the jeep run as smoothly as possible.

The orderly sitting in the passenger seat smiled and said: "Xiao Chuanzi, you don't have to worry about Commander Wang being jolted to wake up. During the Red Army period, Commander Wang could fall asleep on horseback after a battle, but as soon as there was an enemy situation, he would I will be the first to find out and wake up immediately.”

Xiao Chuan sighed, "Maybe it's because of a general's keen sense of the danger of fighter planes."

It was already the end of October. Seeing that many soldiers were still wearing single clothes, and some soldiers were even marching in straw sandals, Xiao Chuan secretly made up his mind to buy a large number of military uniforms, shoes and socks, and medicine after returning home.

It's a pity that guns are banned in China. Why don't you go to the United States to buy some weapons and get them here so that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army can reduce their casualties?

Qigen village is more than 300 kilometers away from the bottom of Huangya. The third battalion and the special agent company marched day and night in a hurry. They walked there with two bare feet in three days.
