The barrel of the light machine gun was red, but they didn't even have time to replace the barrel. They hurriedly changed the magazine and fired again.
The flares continued to rise into the sky, leaving the charging Japanese troops with nowhere to hide. And these Japanese troops no longer care whether they are concealed or not, they just charge forward with their heads buried, completely forgetting the fear of death.
Ichiro Sakurai and the squadron leaders commanded their respective troops and charged non-stop on this hillside. The soldiers in the front row fell down, and the soldiers in the back row stepped on their bodies and rushed forward. It was tragic to go on and on.
Sakurai, who volunteered to take the rear position, was now leading dozens of rear-rear soldiers, running leisurely behind the large army. Because the bullets at this time could not fall on their heads.
When the people in front rush out of the gap, they only need to rush up.
When the large army ran away, it was Sakurai's turn to stop them. That's easy, Sakurai just disappears, ignores these soldiers, or runs to join Sakurai Ichiro and the others, and continues to be an undercover agent. Either raise the white flag, surrender, and become a glorious Fourth Division soldier.
Ma Siyuan and his soldiers also knew that if they could capture a Japanese soldier or officer on the battlefield, it would definitely be more valuable than killing a Japanese soldier or officer. So Sakurai basically doesn't have to worry about his life being in too much danger.
After thinking about this, a faint smile appeared on Sakurai's face.
At this time, a soldier next to him said: "Captain, they have broken through the enemy's defense line, let's go over too."
Hearing this, Sakurai looked ahead. Under the illumination of the flares, he did see that the Japanese troops had begun to board the position and began to charge forward desperately.
It is indeed difficult for Ma Siyuan and the others to completely block the collective charge of more than 800 people.
However, the casualties of the Japanese army were very heavy. On the slopes, the corpses of the Japanese army could be seen stacked up everywhere. To describe it as littering the fields with corpses is simply not an exaggeration.
The entire hillside turned blood red under the illumination of the flares. The blood flowing from the Japanese army almost dyed the hillside red.
Sakurai immediately yelled: "Follow and rush over, and then we will be responsible for the rear."
With this shout, he slapped his horse's butt and began to rush forward.
The soldiers behind him immediately followed.
Because the frontal position had been breached, the people led by Sakurai were hardly blocked by any firepower. But each of them knew very well that the main force could keep running forward, but they needed to stay to block the enemy's pursuit force after breaking through the enemy's position.
So these Japanese soldiers were actually determined to die.
Running wildly from the breached position, Sakurai saw the corpses of many Japanese soldiers. There were also many corpses of national soldiers.
Ma Siyuan looked at the breached position over there and immediately shouted: "Organize a pursuit force to pursue the Japanese army."
After receiving the order, the defenders on both sides immediately began to pursue the fleeing Japanese troops. At the same time, the cavalry regiment that had been wandering outside Taohuagou also learned about the situation on Ma Siyuan's side and began to pursue the Japanese army in the direction of their escape.
Ichiro Sakurai was very embarrassed at this time. He took the remaining 300 people and started running towards Laiyuan County.
Although his troops broke through, they suffered heavy losses. There were more than 1,200 people at the time of departure, but now there were only 300 people left. And the troops in charge of the rear didn't know if they could come back alive.
"Your Excellency, Captain, where should we go next?" Suzuki ran over panting and asked.
Ichiro Sakurai glanced at Suzuki, and then asked: "Where are the other squadron leaders?"
Suzuki said: "I didn't see it, they may have been killed." After saying this, he also sighed.
The casualties of the troops were too great. More than 800 people turned into 300 people in just one hour of fighting. Moreover, among the three hundred people, there are more than forty people in the rear, and they are expected to be completely annihilated.
Ichiro Sakurai looked to the northwest, and then looked behind him.
There were gunshots over there, and it was obvious that the troops in charge of the rear were at war with them. So Sakurai Ichiro immediately said: "Notify the troops to continue moving forward. The troops at the rear will buy us half an hour at most. We cannot continue to rest."
Listen hereFollowing Sakurai Ichiro's order, the exhausted Japanese soldiers stood up from the ground with rifles supporting their bodies, and then, led by Suzuki and Sakurai, continued to flee northwest along the rugged mountain road.
On the other side, Sakurai, who was responsible for blocking the attack, had already led his troops to set up a simple defense line on a hillside.
"Loyal warriors of the Japanese Empire, do not be afraid, resist the enemy's attack, and cover the retreat of the main force." Sakurai encouraged these soldiers on the battlefield.
When the soldiers saw that the younger brother of the commander Ichiro Sakurai had stayed to command them personally, their morale was greatly boosted, and they raised their arms and shouted in response to Sakurai. Little did they know that Sakurai had already made plans to run away at this time.
He had a war horse, and when these soldiers were almost wiped out, he started running on his horse.
In less than ten minutes, the pursuit force led by Ma Siyuan had arrived in front of their position and began to fire heavily with heavy machine guns.
Sakurai hid behind a boulder and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Samurai from Japan's enemy country, don't be afraid, withstand their attack."
But he himself was hiding there, not even interested in firing a shot.
Ma Siyuan observed the slope with a telescope, and then launched several flares high into the sky. After determining the approximate location of the enemy, he began to order his soldiers to use heavy machine guns and mortars to suppress the area with firepower.
Soon, heavy machine guns and mortars were in place.
"Adjust the elements!"
The sound of the mortar troops over there came from behind Ma Siyuan. Soon they fired the first round of shells to adjust the trajectory.
When the Japanese saw the falling mortar shells, they knew something was wrong. They don't have trenches here, so the stones can still provide some shelter. But in the face of shells falling from the sky, the cover these rocks can provide is actually very limited. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
