Japanese captain Yamauchi actually has many trump cards.
His mountain company is equipped with an artillery squadron, equipped with more than a dozen larger-caliber artillery pieces including infantry guns and 75mm mountain guns.
In addition, there is also a cavalry squadron and a chariot squad as the mobile force for this surprise attack.
There is even a machine gun squadron, with more than a dozen heavy machine guns, plus dozens of light machine guns, which are concentrated as superior firepower to cover the infantry charge.
It was just that the Independent Regiment might have laid an ambush in Dafengzhuang in advance.
Just like the first time Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, set up an ambush in Dafengzhuang, he even wiped out the entire tank squadron and cavalry squadron.
Therefore, neither Yamauchi nor Kawakami, the Japanese commanders, dared to let the mobile trump card troops of their own regiment break away from the main force and go deep into adventure alone.
The vanguard brigade of the Yamauchi Regiment was entangled behind the front combat area by the main force of the Second Independent Regiment.
Yamauchi ordered the main force to gradually advance forward and cover the retreat of the vanguard brigade.
At this time, Ding Wei's straight-moving combat troops used the fast-moving bicycles on hand to quickly pass through the mountain roads on the flanks.
The originally scattered mopping up troops of the Yamauchi Regiment gradually gathered towards the third line of defense of the Second Independent Regiment. When a gap for mopping up appeared, they took the opportunity to detour to the back of the Yamauchi Regiment.
Nearly half of the main force of the independent group and a team of more than a thousand people followed at the same time.
The new regiment's direct-moving troops only need to block the Japanese army from the back and side for half an hour.
The main force of an independent group can arrive quickly.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, our reconnaissance force has discovered the Eighth Route Army troops outflanking, and is now approaching the right center of our army."
Nearly half of the vanguard group has been withdrawn.
Yamauchi, an old Japanese soldier, gritted his teeth and was preparing to forcefully break through the enemy's defensive position after the vanguard brigade withdrew. Then the news came.
"Nani? In a roundabout way!"
Yamauchi's heart skipped a beat.
He often heard people say that the Eighth Route Army troops were good at mountain warfare, guerrilla warfare, and roundabout warfare.
They can quickly travel through mountainous areas.
You never know when and where they will pop up and catch you off guard.
At present, the tactics of the enemy Eighth Route Army troops are very obvious. They use the front defensive position as a frontal blockade to attract the main firepower of the Yamauchi Regiment and take the opportunity to cover the roundabout of the flanking troops.
"Baga, these damn Tubal Roads are so rampant. They want to completely surround our troops and attack from both front and rear!"
But Yamauchi’s face was more disdainful, “These Tubal Roads are too confident in their own appetites.
How can we, the elite of the Japanese Empire, be eaten by a group of beggars who want to eat them? "
"Signal Corps."
"arrive!"
"Notify Miki and Nakamura immediately and order their cavalry and tank units to quickly cut off the Tubal Road detour from the flanks."
"Hi!"
Looking at the communications soldiers who immediately went to convey the order, Yamauchi felt a little relieved.
This is where his confidence lies.
This time, the Yamauchi Regiment was specially assigned a chariot squad, plus a cavalry squadron.
Both teams possess high-speed mobility.
If the Eighth Route Army wants to take a detour from the flank, it will take time.
Although these two mobile troops did not dare to go deep alone to test whether there was an Eighth Route Army trap in Dafeng Village.
But it is perfect for dealing with the small roundabout troops of the Eighth Route Army.
After Yamauchi's order was issued, Miki, captain of the Japanese cavalry squadron, and Nakamura, captain of the chariot squad, immediately led the cavalry and chariot troops to block Ding Wei's straight-moving chariot troops from the flanks.
Looking down from above.
The direct driving force of the new regiment was heading eastward and quickly detoured towards the back of the Yamauchi Regiment.
The Japanese's cavalry squadron and chariot squadron quickly moved northeastward amid the sound of horse hooves and the roar of tank engines.
According to the speed and direction of travel of both parties, if nothing unexpected happens, they will completely encounter each other at a certain point.
…
…
the other side.
Due to different generals, the final combat deployments are naturally different.
Wang Leihu, the leader of the Second Independent Regiment, moved the Japanese vanguard brigade closer to Xiaozhaigou Road, then directly dragged the Japanese vanguard brigade, and then bombarded the main force of the Japanese, taking the opportunity to cover the rapid detour of the straight-moving troops.
This style of play requires a lot of courage, and it also requires the equipment of the troops, and even dares to confront a Japanese regiment that belongs to the artillery squadron.
Fierce and vigorous.
Quite the style of a general.
The former battalion commander of the independent regiment has gradually grown into a leader-level figure who is responsible for his own affairs.
And Shen Quan, the former commander of the second battalion of the independent regiment, known for his ability to use damaging tactics, is now the commander of the third independent regiment.
He blocked the Kawakami Regiment's combat deployment on the right-wing mountain road of Dafengzhuang, which was different from Wang Leihu's style of play.
On the third line of defensive positions, Shen Quan first ordered the soldiers to assume a posture of fighting to the death with the Japs.
There is a great momentum of defending the position to the death.
After the battle broke out, the intensity of firepower erupted by the soldiers of the Third Independent Regiment behind the fortifications of the position was so ferocious.
The little devils who were attacking were also shocked.
Old Japanese Kawakami was even more puzzled. This was also the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
How could the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on this third position suddenly increase so much?
But Kawakami did not give up.
He looked through the binoculars at the Eighth Route Army troops who were relying on fortifications to launch a tenacious resistance on the third-line position.
First, a dozen artillery pieces from the artillery squadron were ordered to lock on the defenses of the Eighth Route and conduct plowing-style bombardment.
Anyway, his little devil has ample logistical support, and the shells fired seem to be free of charge.
Shen Quan, who had ordered to retreat to the safe distance behind the fortifications, could not help but feel sorry for the little Japanese.
"This little brat is so damn rich! If we can fight like this, what's the matter with him?"
Shen Quan was sighing with emotion, risking his life, and the reconnaissance posts dispersedly deployed on the forward fortifications quickly returned and reported:
"Reporting to the captain, during the Japanese bombardment, we detected that the Japanese vanguard troops were advancing rapidly, and they brought a large number of grenade launchers to follow the team!"
Chen Quan nodded: "The Japanese commander opposite is an expert at playing with cannons.
This is to first use large-caliber artillery to force us back directly from the position, help the troops advance, and use grenade firepower to assist run-and-gun.
It's a perfect connection. In this way, if we foolishly insist on holding on to our position, the casualties of the troops will definitely be huge. "
"Captain, what should we do now?" asked the battalion commander next to him.
Chen Quan laughed and said: "Silly boy, how can a living person be suffocated to death by urinating? The little devils think they have the advantage by using artillery. This is exactly what we want the little devils to believe."
"Immediately pass the order, all ministries abandon the three-line defensive positions, and we retreat to Dafengzhuang."
"Captain, these three-line defensive positions are our last defensive positions in the mountainous area. Are they just lost like this?"
Chen Quan said: "The position is dead, but the people are alive. Now let's rush forward again and regain the position. Even if we repel the Japs, if the Japs rely on our position to defend, our casualties will definitely be unavoidable. We can't do this loss-making business." .”
"But Dafeng Village only has a few houses and is not suitable for defense. If we retreat..." the first battalion commander hesitated.
Chen Quan smiled and said, "You should use your brain and think about it carefully."
"What you said is absolutely correct. Dafeng Village is not suitable for defense. But what if we can frame the little Japs in and then pin them down in Dafeng Village and beat them up?"
The first battalion commander was not a fool. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: "Captain, I understand what you mean. This is to deliberately lure the enemy to go deep and trick the Japanese into Dafengzhuang."
Hahaha--
"You've finally figured it out. Now tell me what I'm going to do next?"
The first battalion commander thought for a moment and then said: "We will retreat to Dafeng Village and let the little devil watch us enter the village.
The Japanese will definitely follow them into the village, so we will use the secret tunnel that has been dug in the village to lead directly to the outside of the village, and first pretend to resist in the village.
After attracting all the main Japanese forces into Dafeng Village, they used a secret passage to withdraw from the village.
In turn, the Japanese troops were besieged in Dafengzhuang. "
