I rise from the sword

Chapter 73 An Empty Camp

On the other side, Gu Chuan Keiichi was angrily berating several of his subordinates.

It has been half an hour and he has not been able to break through the enemy's defense line, and he has also lost more than 100 imperial troops. This result is really not satisfactory to him.

At this time, a scout in plain clothes hurried over.

He gave Gu Chuan Jing a sudden pause, and said: "Report to the captain, according to the low-level investigation, the independent battalion seems to be on fire!"

"Nani? How could the Independence Battalion be on fire?"

Keiichi Gu Chuan was taken aback, they hadn't broken through the enemy's defense line yet, how could the enemy's garrison be on fire?
Suddenly, he reacted violently: "Baga! These damn Chinese people know they are invincible, and they want to run away!"

"First Squadron, Second Squadron, continue to attack, and strive to break through the enemy's defense line in the shortest possible time!"

"The third and fourth squadrons must break through the enemy's flank defense line as soon as possible, and intercept the escape route of the Chinese!"

"Hay!"

Several ghost messengers agreed in unison, then turned and left.

……

The screen is pulled to the Independence Camp.

At this time, the monk hurried over. He found Yang Lin under the leadership of a messenger, stood up and saluted him and reported: "Reporting to the battalion commander, the second company, the third company, the cavalry company and other departments have taken orders from the court and the barbarians. Head towards the ditch."

"In addition, the reconnaissance company is defending against the attack of the devils on the flanks, and cannot escape for the time being, so it has not yet gone to the Savage Ditch."

"Ok!"

Yang Lin nodded to show that he knew, seeing that the time was ripe, he ordered to the hemp pole next to him: "The commander of the first company, the second company, the third company, the cavalry company, and the artillery company have already set up an ambush in the savage ditch.

After the devils launched a new round of attack, you pretended to be invincible, and led a company to rely on favorable terrain to block the attack layer by layer, and retreat while fighting, to attract the little devil to the direction of Savage Ditch. "

"Yes!"

Ma Gan straightened his body, and suddenly agreed.

"Monk, you go to the reconnaissance company again and tell them that after Yilian evacuates from the Zhaojiawan position, immediately rush over to join them and retreat towards Yerengou together!"

"Yes!"

The monk responded, turned around and ran towards the horse tied not far away.

Then, Yang Lin also rode on his horse and rushed towards Yerengou. This ambush must be directed by him personally, so that he can be sure to wipe out the devils who will commit crimes in the future.

……

Almost as soon as Yang Lin left, the devil launched a new round of attack.

According to Yang Lin's instructions, Ma Gan fought and retreated, relying on the favorable terrain, retreated while fighting, blocking the attack layer by layer, and played guerrilla warfare with the devils.

Gu Chuanjing saw the opponent's intention early in the morning. After breaking through the Zhaojiawan defense line, he immediately stopped the pursuit of the squadrons and ordered them: "Don't worry about the harassment of these small groups of enemies. They are fighting for the transfer of the main force. time!"

"Initiate an attack on the Independence Battalion!"

"Quick, hurry up!"

After receiving the order, the squadron leaders of the devils no longer entangled with the first company and the reconnaissance company, but turned around and went straight to the independent battalion station to kill them.

Gu Chuan Jingyi came to the high ground of Zhaojiawan. With the help of the firelight, he could vaguely see the independent battalion station 1 kilometer away.

Although several barracks were already on fire, many buildings were still standing in the night. He thought that the people from the independent battalion hadn't finished withdrawing yet, so he shouted loudly, "Order!"

Hearing Gu Chuan Keiichi's voice, the ghost messenger immediately ran over, bowed and stood in front of him, waiting for instructions.

"Your Excellency, Captain, please give instructions!"

Gu Chuanjing said expressionlessly: "Order the artillery team to attack the independent battalion in front immediately!"

"Hay!"

The devil's messenger paused abruptly, then ran away.

Soon, the artillery team received the order, and they immediately set up mortar positions on suitable terrain.

It is worth mentioning that the Devils Artillery Squad is equipped with 90mm caliber mortars, commonly known as small steel guns.

This kind of mortar is very light in weight and easy to carry, but it is very powerful.

The leader of the Devil Artillery Team raised the command knife in his hand and swung it forward vigorously, shouting: "Target, the headquarters of the China Independent Battalion ahead! Attack!"

The firing angle of the mortar had been adjusted, and the ammunitionists immediately picked up the shells and loaded them into the barrel.

"Tom!"

"Tom tom tom tom!—"

The sound of cannon ejection resounded.

After a round of salvo, the Devil Artillery soon carried out the second and third rounds of salvo...

The dense shells fell towards the independent battalion like a meteorite rain.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!—"

The shells exploded suddenly, and the rows of barracks and the houses of the surrounding villagers collapsed in the scarlet flames, turning into pieces of ruins.

The shells rained down one after another, and the entire Wu Village became the target of the devil's bombing. It was devastated for a while, and all kinds of burning building debris were scattered everywhere with the explosion shock wave.

In his field of vision, Gu Chuan Jingyi saw that the entire Wu Village, including the Independence Battalion, had been turned into a sea of ​​flames, and his gloomy face immediately burst into a tinge of satisfaction.

If he can destroy this independent battalion that has repeatedly brought shame to the imperial army in one fell swoop, especially get rid of that damned Yang Lin, then Keiichi Furukawa will definitely become a celebrity in front of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.

Not only can you get the reward of 10 cash, but you will also be one step closer to being promoted.

"Warriors of the Empire, attack the headquarters of the Independent Battalion!"

"Kill the chicken, kill the chicken!!!"

When the artillery launched the bombardment, the devil infantry had already suspended their charge. When they heard the order, they rushed towards the independent battalion in groups.

"Kill all the Chinese soldiers, go!"

"His Majesty the Emperor onboard!"

"The Great Japanese Imperial Army is on board!"

The faces of the charging devil soldiers showed undisguised madness. Everyone wanted to be the first to rush into the Independence Battalion and win the first prize.

As we all know, the Japanese army's coordinated infantry tactics and infantry-tank coordinated tactics are very mature.

Almost wherever the infantry rushes, the shells can support them.

Therefore, even though the bombing has not stopped at this time, there is no need to worry about accidental injury.

The fierce artillery fire lasted for a while, and the sound of the artillery gradually stopped.

As soon as the cannons stopped, the devil infantry rushed to the entrance of Wu Village.

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the entire Wu Village was almost razed to the ground, and clusters of flames were burning on the collapsed wooden buildings.

Devil soldiers quickly occupied Wu Village and the resident of the Independent Battalion.

But searching around, the huge Wu Village, let alone people, didn't even see a ghost.

The leader of the Devil Squadron on the front line immediately ran back and reported the situation on the side of the independent battalion to the captain Keiichi Gu Chuan.

"Report to the captain, all the people in the independent battalion of the Chinese Army have been transferred. This is an empty battalion!"

So many shells were wasted in vain, and the result was a worthless empty battalion.

When Gu Chuan Jingyi heard this, the old devil almost bleed out of anger.

"Baga! Where did these damned Chinese go?"
