Commander Li never expected that he would be defeated so quickly. Fortunately, the road was wide and he turned around in time!

The guards under his command drove countless people who fled on the road into the fields. They stood on the roadside and listened to the shouts of death slowly getting closer. They hunted geese all day long. Today, they actually got one of their eyes pecked by geese. They said with a sullen face: "

Brigadier Tang, are the soldiers you lead like this?"

Passing the reins to the deputy next to him, Brigadier Tang accidentally felt Commander Li's cold breath and quickly emphasized: "We were ambushed. I never thought that Tubal Road would dare to attack us!"

"The Eighth Route Army was able to capture Xiaxian, but the reconnaissance force you sent has disappeared. You did not pay attention to it. It is a serious dereliction of duty!" The Japanese adviser next to the commander looked ferocious.

"Sir, we are really careful. We sent people to scout this village. No abnormalities were found an hour ago. It is estimated that the Eighth Route Army occupied the village when our scouts came back to report!"

"The security regiment troops advancing on the east road were also harassed, but they attached great importance to it and sent out a large number of scouts, working step by step. So far, they have not given the Eighth Route Army a chance, but our security forces have been beaten to a pulp. Such a disastrous defeat, Brigadier Tang

, you haven’t even fully gathered your troops yet, believe it or not, I will kill you?”

"Report to the military, I will immediately arrange for the troops that have been gathered to counterattack. The Eighth Route Army is short of guns and ammunition. If they hadn't fought with bayonets as soon as they came up, they would not be our opponents at all!"

"Well, I'll give you the back seat, and I'll see how you defeat the Eighth Route Army and avenge your shame."

With a bang, the commander got into the car with the Japanese adviser and exchanged a few words with his staff officers.

The military staff officer stayed behind, apparently serving as a supervisor for the brigade commander, but the commander himself fled northward.

Of course, what the army commander said about the rear was just talk. Brigadier Tang knew the commander's temper. After all, the plain was so big, and the area the army had to defend was too wide. Neihuang only had a brigade of more than 3,000 people here.

troops.

The sky was not completely dark, it was even brighter than when we ran just now, because the moon as big as a millstone rose in the eastern sky.

Flashlight torches were shining everywhere. Brigadier Tang looked at the chaotic formation of his subordinates who had gathered together. He felt inexplicably irritated and raised his eyes to look around.

Under his cold gaze, each department gradually became quiet, and people were being led by the containment team to join the team.

He stretched out his hand to straighten his military cap, walked in front of the reassembled troops, walked from left to right, staring at everyone in front of him: "Today's battle, although we encountered an ambush, but for us

, is a shame!”

None of my men dared to answer.

"The Army Commander and the Imperial Army Advisor are watching from behind. If we can't even defeat the Tubal Road with three shots, our life will definitely be difficult in the future. Therefore, from now on, we must immediately organize a counterattack. I still don't believe it, brother.

We can't even defeat Tubalu who only has three bullets in his hand!"

The troops were still silent, except for the approaching and approaching shouts of death from the south.

"The guard company will immediately be changed into a combat team. If a person escapes from your eyes, I will shoot the nearest team member. Don't blame me for being unkind! Everyone should know Tang's methods!" Holding a riding crop in his hand,

He glanced left and right and issued orders that shocked all his subordinates.

The staff officer hurriedly came to the commander's side: "The first regiment will counterattack from the front, the second regiment will counterattack from the left, and the third regiment will counterattack from the right. Each battalion commander, company commander, and platoon commander will pay attention to the position of each department. No rash advances or delays will be allowed. Otherwise, military law will be engaged."

!”

Listening to the sound, the shouts of killing from the Eighth Route Army were approaching about 300 meters away. Brigadier Tang got on his horse and cracked his whip: "This brigade commander will live and die with all the troops to rescue the brothers who are being chased by Tubal Road. All the troops,

Immediately deploy your formation and launch an attack to the south!"

Brigadier Tang watched the three regiments pull away, and felt a little calm. Visual inspection showed that the loss was not too great. Most of the people were there, so it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

If there are two or three thousand people, losing 800 people will not have much impact!

I have to say that what Brigadier Tang said was pretty good. The supervising team has been divided into three platoons to supervise the battle behind each regiment. The morale of his men looks pretty good.

However, he underestimated the Eighth Route Army, and his tactical arrangements were even more wrong. He always thought that the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness was not strong, and perhaps a single counterattack could defeat the Tubal Army, which was good at fighting guerrillas.

Don't blame him, he didn't know that the Eighth Route Army had reinforcements from the 2nd and 9th companies, and they were experienced and sometimes made mistakes!

And after a new defeat, and at night, the best way to deal with it is not to counterattack immediately, but to launch defense on the spot!

Riding on the horse, watching his men marching southward with torches, I thought to myself: I have been fighting with the Eighth Route Army for several years, and the Eighth Route Army's tactics have always been hit and run.

After several years of raiding, I also saw the officers of the Eighth Route Army who surrendered, so I naturally knew the tactics of the Eighth Route Army very well. Isn't it the following: when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy retreats, we pursue?

On the other hand, if the security forces attack now, the Eighth Route Army will definitely retreat, so the next step should be to consider how to pursue the Eighth Route Army!

Until now, he still hasn't figured out what kind of medicine Tubalu took to dare to attack. Why don't you guard Huaxian City and wait for me to attack?

He took the water bottle handed over by the adjutant next to him, took a big sip, then pulled a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth. He held up the telescope with one hand and watched the skirmisher line growing in the field.

Because his men, as they walked, burned piles of dry grass here and there in the fields.

For a moment, the fire shot into the sky, turning half of the sky red.

It’s no different than burning down a village!

He suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart and threw away the chicken bones: "Guard platoon, come forward with me immediately, and we will personally suppress the formation!"

The light and heavy firepower will naturally be arranged by the regimental commander, battalion commander, and company commander, and it is not his turn to worry about it.

He didn't realize that there was no hierarchy in this organized attack!

By the way, when fighting a positional battle with Tubal Road, do we still need to have a ladder?

The North China Security Army is not a ragtag group. Even more than half of the company-level officers have taken turns to study at the North China Army Military Academy and returned to serve after graduation.

Not to mention the battalion commanders.

Faced with the defeated soldiers who escaped from time to time, the superiors at all levels did not punish them, but just asked the reception team to gather them together.

No one blamed them. Those who are still able to run back are at least braver than those who fled in the first place. These defeated soldiers were even given preferential treatment. They briefly inquired about the situation of the eight routes behind them, and then asked about the original unit number, and gathered together.

The batch was led back to the original unit.

Brigadier Tang didn't even bother to take out a map. The salt-alkali land covered a large area, and it was useless to take it out.

You have to dismount and mount again, which is very troublesome. The troops in front are advancing, so it is more reassuring to watch in person.

I did not get the key deployment information of the Eighth Route Army from the subordinates who had escaped. The subordinates said the same thing thousands of times: There are Eight Route Army soldiers everywhere, machetes, bayonets, and shuttlecocks.

As for the eight-way heavy firepower, there is none!

Perhaps the bullets should have been exhausted long ago due to the few rounds of machine gun fire on the Eighth Route Army.

The commander of the army who had traveled far behind sent someone on horseback to deliver a message: The Eighth Route Army attack must be repelled. We cannot afford to lose face like this in front of the advisors of the imperial army.

The brigade commander was distracted by this and began to wonder what would happen if he were defeated. Since the imperial army raided the Eighth Route headquarters in May, the activities of the Eighth Route Army had weakened.

The biggest operation of the Eighth Route Army was the attack on Hua County a few days ago. The news he received was that the imperial army and the imperial association army guarding Hua County happened to be absent, and it was almost an empty city. Therefore, until now, he has not done anything.

Understand how many people came from Eighth Route.

However, will it be useful if we come to Tubal Road more often?

In addition to being able to engage in guerrilla warfare, ambushes and sneak attacks, when did the Eighth Route Army ever engage in regular warfare?

Never!

Well, the thinking is clear!

He still forgot that he was ambushed by eight forces this time, and his men lost an unknown number of guns and ammunition on the battlefield.

The greatest hobby of the Eighth Route Army, the old rival of the Emperor's Alliance Army, is to capture.

According to reports from the imperial army, among the Eighth Route guerrillas on the plains, only half of the people in a company of some units had guns, and most of them had old sleeves with almost worn rifling, and some even used guns from the mountains.

Those single-shot pistols made by Tubal Road, made of a few broken pieces of iron, can only fire one bullet at a time, and they don't even have a front sight or a rear sight.

It's worse than a folk hunting gun that dares to attack him and won't give up until he drags ten or eight of him to death from behind his horse!
