Chapter 23: Annihilate the Sixth Cavalry Brigade!

  Zhang Biao watched as the devils in front of him fell to the ground one after another, and hastily turned his head back, only to see Lai San holding a submachine gun with his bald head, firing at the devils. He had a cigarette in his mouth, and while firing, he shouted: "Come on, little devils! Your Lai Grandpa is here! Come if you're not afraid of death!"

  Lai San led over a hundred men, and with dense vigor, they drove back the oncoming little devils once again. Lai San hugged his submachine gun and jumped in front of Zhang Biao and Zhang Hai Sheng, shouting: "Following Old Zhang's orders, I've come to assist Commander Zhang in blocking the little devils!" "Heh heh, didn't I do a good job, Commander Zhang?" Lai San asked with a smile.

  "Hmm! Captain Lai is pretty good at fighting devils too! Haha" Zhang Biao laughed loudly.

  "By the way, Zhang Lao Da also asked me to tell you that after blocking the devils for an hour, lead them to the mountain valley in front." Lai San added.

  "Alright! Got it! The little devils are coming again. Prepare for battle!" Zhang Haisheng ordered as he saw the enemy launching another attack.

  At this time, Zhang Mingyu brought more than 600 people to this valley, which is a valley similar to One Line Sky. The road passes through the middle of the mountain, with steep slopes on both sides, making it an ideal place for an ambush.

  Zhang Mingyu led the soldiers to the mountain valley, dug a pit of over ten meters on the road, and pulled up an hand grenade at the bottom of the pit, which was a trap. The top was covered with branches and dry grass, and then yellow soil was sprinkled on it.

  Zhang Mingyu sent another group of soldiers to the exit of the mountain valley, where they dug a large pit every ten or so meters, blocking the entire exit. He led another group of soldiers to collect stones on the sandy slopes on both sides and buried hand grenades under two massive boulders weighing thousands of kilograms each.

  After everything was ready, Zhang Mingyu and the soldiers lay in ambush on the mountain slopes on both sides, waiting for the devils to come.

  The machine gun squad received support from Lai San and firmly blocked the enemy's attack. Zhang Haisheng killed another enemy machine gunner, looked at his watch and said to Zhang Biao: "Old Zhang, it's time, let's withdraw!"

  Zhang Biao said: "Alright, I'll take a few men to block the enemy here and cover your retreat!" Zhang Haisheng said: "You go first, I'll stay behind to block the devils."

  Lai San said at this time: "You all stop arguing, blocking the devils has our brothers! You hurry and retreat!"

  Zhang Biao and Zhang Haisheng wanted to say something, Lai San said: "Don't dawdle! Hurry up and retreat, I have a way to escape." Zhang Biao's eyes were filled with tears as he faced Lai San: "Brother, you must come back alive. Old Zhang will treat you to wine then!" As he spoke, he led the machine gun squad brothers to retreat towards the mountain valley.

  Lai San desperately blocked the devils on the hillside. After losing the suppression of the god gunner, the devil's machine guns began to wreak havoc. Lai San and his brothers suffered heavy casualties. Calculating that Zhang Biao and the others had almost withdrawn to the valley, Lai San shouted: "Brothers retreat! Leave two brothers to block the devils!"

  Lai San led the remaining soldiers to retreat towards the back. Two wounded soldiers hugged explosive packs and hid on the hillside, a large group of devils rushed up, and the two wounded soldiers detonated the explosive packs, dozens of devils were blown into the sky, Lai San turned his head to look at the soaring smoke produced by the explosion, tears fell down involuntarily.

  The devils quickly rode their horses to chase them, and two more soldiers were hit by the devils. When the devils caught up with the two wounded soldiers who had been hit, they pulled out hand grenades again. More than a dozen devils, along with their horses, were blown to death, and the fallen horses temporarily blocked the devil's cavalry. Lai San led the remaining dozens of soldiers to take advantage of the situation and rushed through the valley.

  When they rushed through the valley, soldiers guided them up the mountain slope from a small road. The devils' cavalry saw Lai San and others escape into the valley and followed in pursuit, plop plop, more than a dozen devils' cavalrymen at the front fell into the horse trap pit dug by the soldiers. A loud explosion sounded, and the hand grenades buried in the pit were detonated. More than a dozen devils' cavalrymen were blown to death. The devils' cavalrymen behind hastily pulled back their horses, barely avoiding falling into the big pit.

  Qinghe Yilang saw the pitfall in front of him and angrily shouted: "This is a cunning Zina person delaying time to escape, brave warriors chase!"

  The devils' cavalry mounted their horses and advanced into the mountain valley. Just as all of the devils' cavalry had entered the valley, a loud explosion suddenly occurred on the hillside, and a massive boulder weighing thousands of kilograms was dislodged from its foundation and came crashing down. It landed in the middle of the valley, blocking off the devils' retreat.

  At this time, the submachine guns and light machine guns on the mountain all let out a roar, and bundles of hand grenades were thrown down. The enemy cavalry was blown up, horses and men overturned, Qinghe Yilang angrily shouted: "Baga, we've been ambushed, charge out of the valley!" He swung his command knife forward!

  The remaining Japanese cavalry hastened to gallop towards the exit of the valley, at this time the rocks on the mountain rained down, dense bullets fell on the heads of the devils, from time to time there were devils falling one after another.

  Boom! The cavalry in front of the devils fell into the horse pit one after another. The casualties were heavy, and at this time Qinghe Yilang ordered all the cavalry to dismount and pass through the horse pit on foot, rushing out of the valley. Just as they were about to rush out of the valley, there was a loud noise again, and a thousand-pound boulder fell from the top of the valley, blocking the way out of the valley.

  The devils of the Kuomintang hastily jumped over the wall and fired towards the mountain slope, but often before they could fire a shot, they were either killed by dense bullets or crushed to pieces by falling rocks.

  Seikawa Ichirō, stepping on the shoulders of several guards to try and flip over this massive boulder, was instead crushed by a 100-kilogram rock thrown down from the slope by Rai San, turning Seikawa Ichirō and several guards into mush. Several guards were even crushed so badly that only their legs remained sticking out.

  This one-sided massacre lasted for about an hour, and more than 1,500 Japanese cavalrymen were killed, with no one escaping. The warriors quickly swept the battlefield, and this battle not only captured more than 1,000 horses and knives but also more than 600 intact war horses. The warriors rode on the devils' war horses and left triumphantly.

  When Lieutenant General Yoshida arrived with the follow-up troops, he saw that the valley was blocked by huge boulders and ordered his men to blast them open with heavy artillery. Upon seeing the scene before him, Lieutenant General Yoshida spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards! At this time, the valley was filled with the bodies of devils and charred war horses, the smell of blood spreading through the air, the entire valley seemed like a hellish Jigoku.

  It is said that when Yoshida Kōsuke woke up, he was so ashamed that he committed seppuku that night. It's not hard to say that the Sixth Cavalry Brigade, which had been his foundation for rising to power, was completely annihilated by Zhang Mingyu with just a few hundred defeated soldiers, leaving only him as the lone commander of the Sixth Cavalry Brigade.
