"Dong dong dong..."
The sound of heavy machine gun fire soon sounded on the battlefield, and bullets flew out in a fan shape, shooting down the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops who were fighting back.
Only one round of bullets killed three or four Japanese and puppet troops.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
The soldiers who rushed to the high ground joined the battle one after another. For a time, the bullets flying around the high ground were denser than before, and more and more Japanese and puppet troops were killed.
I don't know whether the Japanese troops were afraid of being beaten or because they suffered too many casualties. When they rushed to the foot of the high ground, they all retreated at a very fast speed, fearing that they would be killed by the Eighth Route Army if they ran a step slower.
"We also withdraw..." the company commander ordered at the same time.
He called a few guards to carry heavy machine guns and moved to the sorghum field not far away...
Twenty minutes later, a reinforced squadron of imps arrived on the battlefield.
The bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers killed in the battle have been carried together by the surviving Japanese and puppet soldiers.
They were arranged in three rows and placed neatly on the ground.
The squadron leader of the Japanese reinforcements was driven crazy.
Among the more than forty corpses in front of me, the imperial army accounted for at least half, and several soldiers were blown to pieces by cannonballs, leaving only some stumps and broken arms...
Staring at Chief Cao who came to greet him, he asked loudly: "What's going on..."
"Why are there so many troop casualties?"
"Where did the Eighth Route Army that attacked you go..."
"Report to the commander..." Chief Cao was so frightened that he quickly told the scene of the war he had just seen.
"We were attacked by a reinforced company of the Eighth Route Army..."
"They were equipped with three mortars and stormed the high ground when they came up..."
"The heavy machine gun team and most of the dead soldiers are concentrated on the high ground."
"They were suddenly attacked by artillery fire. They didn't even have a chance to fight back and were killed on the spot..."
"The Eighth Route Army took advantage of the situation to attack and occupy the high ground..."
"Condescendingly attack our troops who want to retake the highlands..."
"The troops suffered very heavy losses and had to temporarily retreat..."
"The Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to abandon the high ground, retreated to the nearby sorghum fields, and disappeared on the battlefield..."
After hearing this, the squadron leader wanted to continue to curse, but he couldn't curse when the words reached his lips.
If we really talk about this surprise battle, the reason for the defeat was not because of our own people, but because the opponent was too cunning.
The imperial army defending here only has one reinforced squad.
In addition, there are only more than a hundred people in the Imperial Association Army.
Not only do they have to protect more than a thousand young men, but they are also responsible for supervising the work. They are scattered on this construction site of 700 to 800 meters long, and the troops are very dispersed.
The Eighth Route Army took action to kill their only heavy machine guns and mobile troops, then occupied favorable terrain and used superior firepower to attack the nearby reinforced soldiers, consuming a large number of their troops!
Even if he serves as the commander here, he has no chance of winning against this kind of play.
After leaving a small team to strengthen the defense, they returned directly to the station with dozens of corpses.
This is a new situation faced by the troops when they launch an iron wall encirclement. He must report it to the commander as soon as possible to find a solution to avoid the same thing happening again.
…………
Japanese Army Wing Headquarters.
The co-captain was in a very good mood.
It has been two days since I led my troops into the Sixth Army Division of Yi Zhong. Apart from encountering two or three guerrilla groups that pose no threat, I have not encountered a single main force of the Eighth Route Army.
The purpose of the iron wall encirclement is to force the Eighth Route Army to come out to fight with itself and seize the initiative on the battlefield.
The commander of the regiment has been dreaming for the past two days about how he can defeat the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong by relying on the favorable terrain.
The result is whatever you want...
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Eighth Route Army appeared in the defense area he was responsible for.
Because the opponent did not have many troops, the commander of the regiment sent a reinforced squadron to march quickly to reinforce the battlefield...
At the same time, he ordered another brigade under his command to be on standby at any time.
If this is a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army and something happens to the reinforced squadron he just sent out, this squadron will be able to rush to the battlefield immediately.
At this moment, the commander of the regiment was dreaming of reinforcing the troops to annihilate the Eighth Route Army.
"Captain...the reinforcements are back..." the guard captain suddenly rushed into the headquarters to report.
"Have you wiped out all the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops?" the commander stood up from his chair, stared at the guard captain and asked with expectation.
"Forehead……"
The guard captain was awkward for several seconds before answering: "I don't know what my position is... but they brought back dozens of corpses of soldiers..."
"Nani?"
The smile on the commander's face disappeared instantly. He stared at the guard captain and ordered with an anxious expression: "Hurry up and get the squadron leader over... I want to hear the report..."
Five minutes later, the wing leader finally figured out what was going on with the dozens of corpses brought back by the reinforcements.
The chief of staff of the wing frowned and analyzed: "Captain of the wing..."
"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning..."
"Know that we are no match for a decisive battle..."
"Deliberately sending small groups of troops to sneak attack on us, attacking us piecemeal, accumulating a small amount into a large amount, and then achieving the purpose of consuming our military strength..."
"We must strengthen the strength of the security forces along the line, strengthen their firepower, and not give the Eighth Route Army any opportunity to take advantage."
"They want to use guerrilla warfare and sneak attacks to consume our troops."
"We will use our tactics to consume their ammunition..."
The chief of staff analyzed along the lines of the chief of staff: "This is a good idea..."
"The Eighth Route Army has limited ammunition..."
"If each sneak attack consumes a lot of ammunition for them but does not kill or injure a few of us, they will definitely stop this kind of sneak attack that only consumes losses but does not gain anything."
"If you don't want to be trapped in the base area by us, the range of activities is getting smaller and smaller, so you can only fight with us before your ammunition is used up."
"Otherwise, when they run out of ammunition, they won't be able to fight us in a decisive battle."
A staff officer suddenly reminded: "Captain..."
"This method is indeed very good...but there is another problem."
"The defense area we are responsible for exceeds ten kilometers..."
"The previous security force has already exhausted our whole group!"
"If we want to further strengthen our security, we must send a large team out..."
"Then our station only has one infantry brigade, one artillery brigade, one chariot squadron, one cavalry brigade, and one baggage squadron..."
"The total strength is less than two thousand people..."
"If the Eighth Route Army gathers a large number of troops to attack us, I'm worried that these troops are no match for us!"
The captain shook his head and said confidently: "I wish the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong would gather its main force to raid our base..."
"Two thousand troops are indeed unable to withstand the offensive of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong."
"He and the others are not powerless to fight back!"
"Occupying a favorable terrain, it will be no problem for half an hour."
"Our other troops are scattered within five kilometers on both sides of the station. It will be enough to kill all the troops back within half an hour. They can also encircle and attack our Eighth Route Army from the outside..."
"If the troops are not enough, the main forces active on our two wings can come over to reinforce us. It will only take an hour."
"Even if all the Eighth Route Army in the Sixth Army Division of Yi Zhong come and kill them, I am confident that I can kill them here."
"I'm afraid they won't dare to come."
