The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Most of the skirmishers ran back after being defeated in a hurry. They didn't know the specific situation, so they naturally wanted to run to a safe place.

Now there are not only a large number of people repairing the position here, but also Yang Ling and the others guarding here. They are not as panicked as before. They stopped, accepted Yang Ling's order, and prepared to stick here.

However, there were still some soldiers who wanted to escape to a safer place. Facing Yang Ling's orders, they turned a deaf ear to them and wanted to run back.

"Catch them as deserters!"

Facing these soldiers who still wanted to run back, Yang Ling was not polite and let the grizzly bear arrest them.

Seeing that the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade directly charged these people with a deserter charge, the others didn't dare to do it again. Deserters would be shot, and they didn't dare to risk their lives.

When Yang Ling and the others set up a trap here to gather the rout and enter the position to defend against the impending little devils, a staff officer of the 18th Division also came with a company of guards for reinforcements.

All the troops of the 18th Division have been sent out to chase after the little devil, and now they are only a guard company in the division headquarters.

Hearing the sound of firefighting in the distance, they also realized that something was wrong, and when they were about to retreat, Yang Ling sent someone to ask for help, and they immediately sent the guard company over, hoping to buy some time for them to regroup. Prepare for a solid line of defense.

"Mr. Yang, our division asked us to obey your orders." After paying a military salute, the staff officer explained the situation.

"If that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful." Yang Ling didn't hesitate, and directly took over the command.

The guard of the 18th Division is well equipped and has not had any contact with the devils yet. He is full of fighting spirit at this moment, which is very different from the skirmishers who have just retreated.

After Yang Ling handed over the position to Grizzly, he left the position with more than a dozen officers and soldiers from the Raging Flame Special Forces Brigade and the guard company, and walked eastward along the road for about two miles.

"It's absolutely impossible for the devils who came here to expect our troops here, so we set up an ambush here and beat him hard."

The rear position has not yet been repaired, so Yang Ling is going to take the guard company and some officers and soldiers from the Lie Yan Special Forces Brigade to ambush the little devils here first. Even if they can't eliminate many devils, they can delay their actions.

Text Chapter 370 Seven Ambush

Under Yang Ling's order, the officers and soldiers of the guard company and the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade quickly dispersed to hide in the green gauze tent beside the road.

The officers and soldiers of the machine gun team quickly seized the favorable terrain and the wide shooting area, and set up the machine guns. In order to achieve the purpose of concealment, some branches were specially folded to cover the machine gun positions.

When the officers and soldiers were ready to fight, the gunshots from the east of the road became more intense, accompanied by rumbling sounds from time to time.

Soon groups of stragglers quickly retreated along the road, their clothes were torn and bloodstained, and some wounded officers and soldiers were supported by others, looking terrified.

A few hours ago, they were still a high-spirited pursuit force, vowing to catch up with the retreating troops of the devils and win a big battle.

But who knew that the little devil suddenly turned back and counterattacked. Facing the powerful devil troops, these chasing troops were quickly defeated and had to retreat.

The retreating officers and soldiers all retreated in a hurry, and did not notice Yang Ling and the others hiding beside the road.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just as the defeated Chinese officers and soldiers retreated along the road one after another, there was a whistling sound of tearing the air from the sky, and several shells landed around Yang Ling and the others, exploding loudly.

Some of the soldiers in the guard company were newly enlisted. They had always followed the division headquarters and stayed in the safe area at the rear. They hadn't really fought against the little devils yet.

Now that the devil's shell landed so close to them, the recruits who had just joined the army were so frightened that their faces were pale, and they stood up and wanted to hide in a safer place behind.

"Let me hide where I am, and don't make any rash moves to expose the location!"

Yang Ling thought that the soldiers of these guard companies were all elites, but he didn't expect that some of them were recruits, so he stopped immediately.

Starting from the battle of Songhu, the Chinese army fought against the little devil in a series of large-scale battles in just a few years.

Even the Central Army units such as the 18th Army have recruited a large number of recruits. They will not go to the battlefield until they have finished training in Chongqing.

But the situation on the battlefield changed too fast, and they had to be dispatched to the battlefield urgently to carry out the task of defending Yichang.

"Whoever dares to touch me again will collapse him, return to my original position!"

The guard company commander is a veteran with combat experience. When he saw the recruits in his company being frightened by a few shells, his face was dull and his tone was extremely severe.

After being scolded by Yang Ling and the guard company commander, these recruits finally returned to their positions timidly, not daring to move anymore.

However, when they heard the bursts of gunshots, their faces were still tense, showing a little fear.

"Why do you have so many recruits in your guard company?"

Yang Ling also frowned. It stands to reason that even the guards who guard the division headquarters are elite veterans.

The guard company commander said rather helplessly: "The army has been repaired five or six times. All the veterans who are alive have either been promoted to grassroots officers or become the backbone of each company and platoon. Many veterans of our guard company have also been sent out. That’s why this is a new batch of recruits.”

After hearing the explanation from the company commander of the guard, Yang Ling was relieved. Although he knew that there were many recruits in each unit, he did not expect that there were so many recruits.

Because he was worried that the guard company's weak combat power would lead to the failure of the ambush devils, he immediately called a team leader of Lie Yan Special Warfare over, and asked him to instruct his brothers to prepare for the worst, and to cover the retreat if the ambush failed.

Not long after Yang Ling and the others waited in this green gauze tent, the troops resisting the devils in front completely collapsed and retreated along the road in a swarm.

The devil's artillery fire was extending, and the howling shells kept chasing down the team. Amid the deafening roar and explosions, from time to time someone was bombed with flesh and blood.

Yang Ling and the others looked towards the east through the dense gunpowder smoke. Dozens of devil cavalrymen were holding up their bright sabers and pounced on them.

"Ready to fight!"

Seeing these ghost cavalrymen galloping towards them, Yang Ling's expression became tense. These cavalrymen were no better than infantrymen. Once they got close, the impact force of the horses weighing several hundred kilograms would be enough to smash a person to pieces.

"When shooting, hit the horse first, then greet with a grenade!"

With the sound of clattering, the officers and soldiers ambushing in the green gauze tent pulled the bolts and loaded the bullets one after another, and began to aim at the devil cavalry who were getting closer.

Yang Ling and the others had fought the devil's cavalry several times, and they already had enough experience.

It was quite difficult to aim at the imp on the galloping horse, and most of the bullets would go into the sky.

But if you aim at the imp's horse, it's easy to hit, and the effect is not bad.

Tell the galloping horse to be hit, even if the painful horse has been well-trained, it will be frightened and throw the devil off the horse. If the grenade explodes again, the devil will be finished.

These ghost cavalry are the vanguard of the counterattack against Yichang. Relying on their own speed, they can be said to be quite arrogant, chasing and killing the retreating Chinese officers and soldiers all the way.

A few slow-running Chinese officers and soldiers were directly overtaken by the galloping devil cavalry, and their sharp sabers slashed down obliquely. Under the blessing of the impact of the horses, their huge heads flew into the air, and bloody arrows flew wildly.

Seeing this scene, the guards ambushing in the green gauze tent and even the recruits couldn't help closing their eyes, and some people's hands were shaking, full of fear for these ferocious devils.

The veterans were full of anger, but the devils hadn't entered their ambush positions. If they shot now, not only would they not be able to ambush the devils, but they would be exposed and fall into a passive position. They had to resist the urge to shoot impulse.

The devil cavalry who chased them all the way stared at the Chinese officers and soldiers retreating in embarrassment, and ignored Yang Ling and the others who were ambushing in the green gauze tent beside the road.

Soon, after cutting down these Chinese officers and soldiers, these ghost cavalry rolled up billowing smoke and dust, and rushed towards the retreating Chinese officers and soldiers again. It seemed extremely arrogant.

"shooting!"
