Shaozuo's mouth was filled with a proud smile. According to his battle plan, he pushed the entire Xiaonanzhuang with absolute artillery superiority. After the main force entered Xiaonanzhuang, he then dispatched two troops, detouring from the left and right wings, and quickly Block the end of the village of Xiaonanzhuang. Lan
Completely intercept this group of damn Eighth Route Army in Xiaonanzhuang, and then eliminate them in one fell swoop.
This old devil's plan is Bang Bangxiang.
Unfortunately, this is not the case when it actually happens.
Under the fierce bombardment of the entire Japanese vanguard brigade, the Qianzhuang area of Xiaonanzhuang was directly thrown to the Japs by the Eighth Route Army.
After nearly half of the Japanese vanguard brigade had successfully entered Nanzhuang.
Brigadier Zhang, who was in charge of the overall situation at the temporary forward headquarters, did not hesitate and directly issued the order to close his pockets.
After the order was issued, the soldiers quickly took action. Lan
First, the 716th Regiment, which was stationed in Zhangjiazhuang and Majiapu, immediately dispatched a force and quickly detoured eastward.
In addition, the Yanbei detachment stationed in Liujia Village on the northeast side of Xiaonanzhuang also sent 40% of its elite contract cavalry troops to quickly raid to the west.
A mechanized combat force also arranged on the flank, mixed with eight armored vehicles and about twenty tanks modified from military cars and motorcycles, quickly detoured towards the artillery squadron and baggage troops behind the Japanese.
After noticing the actions of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese Shaozuo arranged for the surrounding security troops to quickly report the news to the headquarters.
Inside the brigade headquarters.
"Sir, there is news from the west reconnaissance team that there is an Eighth Route Army unit in the direction of Zhangjiazhuang, and it is rapidly encircling the back of our army!"
"Sir, the east side reconnaissance team has received news that an Eighth Route Army unit suddenly appeared in the direction of Liujia Village and is rapidly advancing towards the flank of our army!" Lan
Realizing the situation, the Japanese Shaozuo was startled. Only then did he realize that the entire Xiaonanzhuang might be a trap set by the Eighth Route Army.
However, the current situation was already quite embarrassing for him.
Half of his entire brigade has entered Xiaonanzhuang, and the other half is outside Xiaonan Village.
It's like eating a long piece of cabbage, half of it has gone into the throat, but the other half is still hanging out of the mouth.
How uncomfortable it is.
The Eighth Route Army had clearly come prepared. It looked like they were preparing to directly cut off the retreat of his imperial troops. It was probably too late to retreat now.
After thinking for a moment, Shaozuo immediately issued an order: Lan
"Notify the troops at the front to strengthen the offensive. In the shortest possible time, all our troops will enter Xiaonanzhuang, and then rely on the terrain of Xiaonanzhuang to hold on, launch a blockade, hold back the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and wait for subsequent reinforcements!"
"Hi!"
After the order was given, the corners of Shaozuo's mouth turned up with some disdain.
"Is this battle of the Eighth Route Army trying to completely annihilate our First Vanguard Brigade? I'm thinking too much, and it's just an egg hitting a stone.
It just so happens that the commander of the regiment has been looking for an opportunity to lure out the main force of the Eighth Route Army and eliminate it in one fell swoop. I only need to use Xiaonanzhuang as a position to hold back this Eighth Route Army unit and wait for the main force of the coalition to attack from both sides! "
What a beautiful idea!
But as the situation evolved, everything soon exceeded Guizi Shaozuo's expectations. Lan
First, the two Eighth Route Army units lurking in the northwest and northeast of Xiaonanzhuang launched a sudden attack much faster than the Japanese army expected.
Then, part of the Japanese vanguard brigade had already entered Xiaonanzhuang and continued to advance forward in a plowing style with superior artillery fire, but was also blocked.
The Eighth Route Army lurking in the second half of Xiaonanzhuang also launched an artillery attack, and the artillery fire used by the opponent seemed to have a longer range, greater power, and higher accuracy.
Under the battle of grenade fire at the squad and platoon level, the Japs' artillery unit was no match for a moment.
Because their previous victory made them too careless, they constructed
The artillery positions have already been exposed.
Under the artillery raid of the Eighth Route Army, nearly half of the Japanese grenade position was directly destroyed.
More than a dozen grenade launchers were immediately scrapped, and the Japanese captain who led the team shivered in distress. Lan
The attack at the front was not going well, and the entire Japanese brigade's entry into Xiaonanzhuang was immediately halted.
As a result, the other half of the Japanese troops left behind Xiaonanzhuang were attacked from both sides by the 716th Regiment and the Yanbei Detachment before they had time to hide in Xiaonanzhuang.
"Your Excellency Captain, the Eighth Route Army must have hidden their artillery fire. Judging from the extent of their counterattack, the artillery fire they have seems to be more sophisticated than ours. Their artillery fires farther and is more powerful than ours.
If there are no larger caliber artillery, just our grenade troops may not be the opponent of these Eighth Route Army! "
After the situation of the vanguard operation came out, Shaozuo was quite dumbfounded.
Has the Eighth Route Army, which has always had backward equipment, scarce ammunition, and basically no artillery at the squad and platoon level, developed to this extent quietly?
At this time, the Japanese army was already in a desperate situation. Lan
More than half of the troops have already entered Xiaonanzhuang, and they will definitely not be able to withdraw now. The outside is also blocked by the Eight Route Route from the two wings.
In the end, Shao Zuo quickly made preparations for both ends.
On the one hand, the Communications Department quickly contacted the wing headquarters in Guzhen, and reported the plight of the vanguard brigade to the wing leader Suzuki.
On the other hand, the artillery offensive of the leading combat troops was blocked.
The Eighth Route Army troops lurking in the second half of Xiaonanzhuang were under fierce artillery fire. The Japanese Shaozuo decided to postpone the attack and wait for his artillery squadron to arrive, and then use the artillery advantage to destroy these damn Eighth Route Army troops in one fell swoop.
The original offense was temporarily transformed into defense.
Not only were they waiting for the arrival of the artillery troops, they were also waiting for the reinforcements sent by Suzuki. Lan
But once the little devils stopped, the Eighth Route Army would not tolerate them.
When the Japanese vanguard brigade temporarily stopped advancing artillery fire, they built fortifications on the spot and prepared to hold on.
After Kong Jie, who was on the west side of Xiaonanzhuang, led his soldiers to make a detour, they launched a surprise attack from the west side of the Japanese brigade.
This attack was extremely violent.
The little Japs in the vanguard brigade immediately felt the powerful artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army troops from the Iron Triangle, as well as the powerful tactics of infantry and artillery coordination.
The opponent's various artillery strikes, as well as various combat equipment on hand to suppress the Japanese army's bolt-action rifles.
Suddenly, in the hand-to-hand exchange between the two sides, the little devil was beaten back steadily. Lan
Shao Zuo, who noticed the situation, was startled. The attack from the Eighth Route Army on the left wing was extremely fierce and far from the combat effectiveness of the Tubal Army in the Northwest Military Region in his impression.
Don't bother to consider the reason.
Shaozuo quickly ordered to mobilize most of the Japanese troops originally defending on the right and rushed to the left to assist in the defense, first to withstand the attack of this powerful Eighth Route Army.
And with the mobilization of troops on Xiaonanzhuang's right wing.
The driver had been waiting for the fighter plane in the southeast direction of Xiaonanzhuang. The soldiers of the 715th Regiment, as the supplementary regiment for this pocket formation, also immediately entered the battle.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
At this point, he finally realized what a stupid decision he made to enter Xiaonanzhuang.
This was clearly a trap dug by the Eighth Route Army, but he jumped in stupidly.
The battle situation was urgent, and in desperation, the Japanese Shaozuo had no choice but to adjust his tactics:
"Inform the left and right defenders to gradually reduce their strength and make a strategic retreat to the front village!"
The Jaap Shaozuo knew very well that if he continued to hold the fronts on the east and west sides and ignored his head and tail, sooner or later he would be completely defeated by the Eighth Route Army. Lan
It is better to shrink all the troops on both fronts, or at worst, abandon the occupied area and gradually retreat.
Then concentrate their forces to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army troops, wait until the follow-up artillery troops arrive, and then launch a counterattack with the advantage of artillery to contain these Eighth Route Army troops and wait for the arrival of the main force of the company.
Then cooperate inside and outside to eliminate these cunning Eighth Route Army troops in one fell swoop.
Shaozuo's last resort was the artillery squadron that was positioned at the rear and was about to arrive.
And just when the Jaap Shao Zuo was looking around, the next person came over was the panicked communications soldier.
"Sir, a very fast armored force suddenly appeared on the back of our army. The enemy directly attacked our army's baggage and artillery units.
The rear of our army has been completely scattered by the opponent's armored vehicles. "Lan
"Asshole, how is this possible?"
The Japanese Shao Zuo was immediately furious and panicked. Now that the artillery unit, the last support he had been waiting for, was gone, how could he fight this battle?
The Eighth Route Army's armored forces sneak attacked the Japanese artillery and transport troops, and successfully dispersed the Japanese rear.
This is the result.
The specific attack process is also funny. At that time, the mechanized combat troops arranged by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, with eight armored vehicles and more than 20 combat tanks, quickly launched an attack from the artillery and baggage troops behind the Japanese army.
The Japanese army originally arranged a rearguard unit at the rear of the baggage and artillery units, which was nearly a squadron of little Japanese.
In fact, even when faced with armored vehicles, as long as these little devils counterattack properly, they can at least stop them for a while. Lan
Provide opportunities for the transfer of artillery and baggage troops.
The situation at that time was quite dramatic.
Because the Japanese rearguard failed to react, they actually mistook the rapidly advancing mechanized combat troops of the Eighth Route Army for his Japanese troops!
What happened?
It turns out that the mechanized combat troops arranged by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong are the absolute elite of the Iron Triangle. They use almost all Japanese-style equipment and are equipped with special modified combat tanks.
Everyone wore helmets and military boots, and drove Japanese-style armored vehicles, motorcycles, and military cars.
In addition, when setting off, the company commander who led the team had a weird idea and asked the driver and the soldiers who were exposed to the outside world to deliberately change into the Showa military uniforms of the little devils. Lan
The company commander at the time didn't think much about it, thinking that a little disguise could fool him for a while.
In the end, I really didn't expect that the little devil stationed in the Mongolian army could be so stupid, until one of our own armored vehicles almost stepped on the opponent's face.
The little devils didn't have much defense, and they seemed to be looking forward to it.
Naturally, the company commander would not disappoint the little Japs. He gave the order directly, and the machine guns and artillery installed on the first few armored vehicles that drove in fired in unison. After a burst of artillery fire and bullets, the Japs' rearguard troops were directly disabled.
How can a body of flesh and blood stop the torrent of steel like armored vehicles?
Although the confrontation on the battlefield at this moment was brief, it was extremely tragic and tragic.
The devastation of the armored forces and their absolute crushing of conventional infantry were vividly demonstrated at this moment. Lan
After the Japanese rearguard was quickly defeated and crippled, the advancing armored vehicles and tanks, after a moment, smoothly approached the back and side of the Japanese baggage and artillery units.
The little devils who were transporting baggage and artillery suddenly
Then he came to his senses.
What came was not some armored vehicle unit from their empire, it was clearly a mechanized combat unit built by the Eighth Route Army that came to claim lives!
The confrontation that ensued between the two sides was no longer on the same level at all.
Although the Japanese artillery is powerful, it is limited to long-range attacks.
In a close confrontation, the distance between the two sides may not be tens of meters. How can the Japanese regiment guns and infantry guns be used?
Coupled with the attack like a torrent of steel, armored vehicles surged forward in a roar, and various tanks used their super mobility and added firepower advantages to carry out massacres. Lan
In just ten minutes, the Japanese artillery and baggage troops in the second half were directly scattered by the mechanized combat troops.
When the little Japs in the middle hurriedly came for reinforcements, they only saw the artillery behind them, which were hung on the backs of armored vehicles by those damn Eighth Route Army, and they ran back after being pulled.
It was an arsenal, especially the tow hooks installed on the tails of some armored vehicles.
The nickname is: "Seize the towing hook!"
Regarding the suggestion of installing a tow hook, Kong Jie explained this:
"We will definitely capture the Japanese artillery in the future. Some of the artillery are relatively light, so that's okay. When we encounter some large-caliber artillery, we can't push it with both hands, right?
To be prepared, it is also good for us to prepare some tow hooks on the combat vehicles in advance. If the artillery is captured at any time, just hook it up and drag it away. "Lan
It really comes in handy now.
For the Japanese army, within a short time, not only the rear artillery unit was knocked out by the Eighth Route Army, but also the artillery pieces were dragged away by the opponent.
What you lose is that you lose all your money.
Solid town.
Knowing that the battle between the Pioneer Brigade and the Eighth Route Army had become intense, these cunning Eighth Route Army soldiers set up a considerable pocket ambush formation with the help of Xiaonanzhuang, outflanking and besieging the Pioneer Brigade from all directions, causing the Pioneer Brigade to fall into a bitter battle.
As worthy of being a Japanese general, the old Japanese Suzuki was not too panicked.
On the contrary, he immediately issued a military order: Lan
"Xinxi, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has appeared. This is the perfect opportunity for our army to destroy them in one fell swoop! Pass my order and all the brigade will set off and advance quickly towards Xiaonanzhuang."
"Hi!"
In addition, Suzuki immediately sent a communication to the headquarters and requested subsequent air fire reinforcements.
Two flight squadrons deployed at Wuchagou Airport are on standby at any time.
In this way, the old Japanese Suzuki felt that everything was safe, with the elite of his Suzuki team and the cooperation of aerial firepower.
It was so effortless to wipe out the Eighth Route Army that was trying to sneak attack his vanguard brigade with the Xiaonanzhuang trap...
Lan
