Just as Fang Ligong was leading the cavalry unit to attack Wan Jia Town.
15 minutes earlier than the Imperial Association Army, Chu Yunfei led a battalion of soldiers to lie in ambush on the mountain ridges on both sides of the road. They could not even prepare simple fortifications.
"Regiment Commander, the puppet army is coming! There were about 5,000 people, and their main weapons were light weapons. There were no heavy weapons!”
The Japanese army had never trusted the Imperial Association Army, so they gave them the seized Type 79, Zhongzheng, made in Hanyang, and some crooked light machine guns. There were basically no heavy firearms!
Chu Yunfei tried his best to lie on the ground and use the binoculars to see the situation of the puppet army from afar.
"The son of a b * tch is finally here. The entire battalion is ready. When I don't call for it, no one is allowed to make a sound. When the puppet troops get close, I'll give the order, and the artillery and machine gun companies will attack! Defeat them in one go, then charge and destroy them! Did you hear that?"
The soldier of the 358th Regiment immediately whispered. "I heard it!"
"Sun Ming, tell the artillery company to set up all the mortars." Chu Yunfei ordered the adjutant. He had calculated the firing units in advance. Wait for my order and shoot those devils to death. Don't save your artillery shells, kill them all!”
This time, in order to eliminate the puppet army as soon as possible, Chu Yunfei had brought eight newly manufactured 82mm mortars with him.
Sun Ming saluted. "Yes, sir!"
The soldiers of the 358th Regiment ambushed the ridge, gripped their rifles, loaded their bullets, and aimed at the puppet soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
The soldiers of the artillery battalion set up the gun carriage and measured the firing point.
They were just waiting for the enemy to walk in!
Colonel Zhang Zhaohui, the commander of the 8th mixed regiment of the Imperial Association Army, led the 4,000 soldiers of the Imperial Association Army into a few columns and rushed towards the cavalry camp.
Taijun urged him so urgently that Zhang Zhaohui did not dare to disobey. He could only urge his subordinates to hurry up.
He rode on the horse and shouted with the whip in his hand,"Hurry up, whoever dares to slack off, I'll shoot him!”
Although Zhang Zhaohui repeatedly scolded his men to run faster, these puppet troops had joined the devils to make a living. How could he be willing to run fast and fight the Eighth Route Army head-on?
All of them cursed and walked forward slowly.
Zhang Zhaohui looked at his subordinates marching at the speed of a turtle and was very anxious.
Zhang Zhaohui cursed on horseback. "Motherf * cker, that damn Eight Paths, why did they attack Wan Clan Town! Motherf * cker, he was simply stuffed! We have to hurry. He's really unlucky!"
The regiment commander of the mixed regiment, Zhang Chengdong, shouted,"That's right. There's no profit in that Wan Clan Town. He did not know what they were after! Isn't it good to hug your wife at home? Why do you have to cause trouble!"
"Who says so!" Zhang Zhaohui turned around and shouted at his subordinates,"The imperial army is right behind us. Run faster. Otherwise, if we let the Gong army escape, the Imperial Army will force us to attack the base of the Gong army. It would be even more troublesome then! Run faster!"
Zhang Zhaohui, the brigade commander of the puppet army, who was rushing to rescue the cavalry unit, heard a shout behind him.
"Sir! Sir…"
Zhang Zhaohui, the brigade commander of the puppet army, quickly reined in his horse and turned around to look.
Two cavalrymen hurriedly ran over and shouted anxiously. "Sir, bad news! Wan Clan Town had encountered the main force of the Suijin Army and had already surrounded Wan Clan Town!”
"What?" Zhang Zhaohui was shocked. How many people did they send out?"
"Judging from the firepower, at least a regiment has been dispatched! Regiment Commander Xiao asked the commander to bring his troops back to reinforce them. Right now, Wan Clan Town was too empty. There were only two battalions of soldiers. They wouldn't be able to hold on for long!”
As if to prove that the messenger was not lying, boom!
A fierce cannon sound rang out like rolling thunder, shaking Zhang Zhaohui's facial muscles a few times. He cried out involuntarily," Mortars!?"
"Yes, mortars! They've used at least six or seven mortars. The firepower is extremely fierce. We can't hold on much longer!”
The equipment of the Imperial Association Army was already worse than the Japanese Army, even worse than the Central Army.
Not to mention that Wan Jia Town only had two battalions of soldiers, so it was normal for them to not be able to hold out against a regiment of the Jin Sui Army.
Colonel Zhang Zhaohui gritted his teeth so hard that he almost broke them.
Motherf * cker!
The Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army had never been united on the surface but at odds on the inside. They had always backstabbed each other.
Today, he had seen a ghost.
These two groups of people actually joined forces to attack my Wan Clan Town?
Heavens!
Had the world changed?
The cavalry unit was very important. However, his Wan Clan Town was more important.
Let Chen Guanghui die!
Colonel Zhang Zhaohui roared at his troops,""Return immediately!"
If he wanted to go back now, he had to see if Chu Yunfei would agree.
Seeing that the puppet army wanted to return, Chu Yunfei decisively shouted,"Fight!"
The eight cannonballs shot into the sky, streaking across the sky in a beautiful parabola.
Just as Zhang Zhaohui was riding on the Japanese horse and cursing the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army, he suddenly heard a familiar whistling sound.
Before he could react to what the sound was, he saw a few small black dots flying over from the sky.
Zhang Zhaohui instantly understood what this familiar sound was. It was the sound of a mortar bombing.
Hearing the sharp sound of cannons, the puppet soldiers couldn't help but raise their heads.
Zhang Zhaohui's eyes widened as he shouted in horror,"Cannon, lie down!"
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Amidst the sharp attacks of the puppet soldiers, the artillery shell landed in the middle of the Imperial Association Army's formation!
Then, it exploded!
The sound of cannon fire rang out, and a rain of blood splattered from the Imperial Association Army. Several puppet soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
The Imperial Association Army instantly turned into a purgatory. Broken limbs and pieces of cloth flew everywhere, raising a rain of blood.
The sudden attack caused the Imperial Association Army to fall into chaos. The smarter ones found cover and lay down like ostriches, hoping that the bomb would not blow them up.
Zhang Zhaohui was so scared that he quickly dismounted.
He held a handful of 'flower mouth' and shouted,""Don't panic, damn it. Counterattack! Counterattack!"
If the Jin Suijun was attacking Wan Jia Town, then the ones attacking him would definitely be the 8th route.
After all, the Eighth Route Army often did this kind of thing.
Zhang Zhaohui didn't retreat immediately. He still wanted to hold on and wait for the imperial army.
In his opinion, Tu Ba Dao was just being generous once, but after firing three shots, he would start a hand-to-hand battle.
Relying on his own troops and firepower, he could still persist until the imperial army arrived.
Unfortunately, the imperial army had not arrived yet. What awaited the puppet army was a series of artillery shells.
Chu Yunfei had repeatedly warned them to kill these puppet soldiers in one go.
Eight newly manufactured 82mm mortars fired continuously. Every shot was accompanied by screams of horror, taking seven to eight lives and leaving behind broken limbs.
The two devils were instantly blown apart, thrown into chaos, and knocked unconscious. They were completely terrified.
This series of artillery attacks had completely stunned the puppet troops.
Zhang Zhaohui was stunned.
Where did so many cannonballs come from?
Could it be that the Eighth Route had sent a division?
This was too f * cking bullying!
