..."Your Excellency, Captain, the Suzuki Regiment has deployed its main force and is advancing in the direction of Xiaonanzhuang. In the Xiaonanzhuang area, the confrontation between Suzuki's vanguard brigade and the Eighth Route Army has become intense."
Are we really going to stand still and don’t need to send reinforcements? "
Just when the old Japanese Suzuki led the main force of the regiment to attack.
In Baode County, at the temporary headquarters of the Japanese Nishino Regiment, the Japanese Chief of Staff called the Regiment Commander Nishino.
He originally thought that Nishino would at least consider it, but who knew that the voice on the other end of the phone responded with almost no hesitation:
"Idiot, how could the Eighth Route Army be so stupid? According to the style of the Eighth Route Army, if they had not prepared in advance, how could they have deliberately set up a formation to fight against the Suzuki United in Xiaonanzhuang?"
"Your Excellency, Captain, are you saying this was always a trap?"
"That must be the case, I can tell!" Nishino even yelled: "That idiot Suzuki is so self-righteous. Does he think he can destroy those Eighth Route Army right away? Let me see, he has clearly fallen into the Eighth Route Army It's a trap." Lan
"Your Excellency, Captain, what should we do now?"
"What should we do? Of course, we must stick to Baode County. This is our most important task. It doesn't matter if the Suzuki United is defeated. The important thing is that Baode is still in our hands. This is enough!"
"Hi!"
Putting down the phone, the Japanese chief of staff shook his head, feeling somewhat disdainful of his cowardly captain.
But he still had to obey the order and continue to stand still.
...The West Wild Alliance continued to be a coward, but Li Yunlong, who was lurking on the west side of Xiaonanzhuang with his team, was waiting for the West Wild Alliance to take the initiative and then take the opportunity to make a surprise attack.
"How is it? Is the little devil out of the city?" Lan
"Commander, still nothing, not a single Japs seen!"
Li Yunlong was so angry that he cursed after hearing the news.
"Damn it, I've been fighting against the Japanese for so many years. I've seen some cowards, but I've never seen anyone so cowardly."
This made Lao Li very angry.
“If I had known earlier that the Nishino Alliance was such a thing, I would have left the task of ambushing the Nishino Alliance to others.
The battle over Lao Kong and Lao Zhao has already started, and it is probably going on right now!
It's better for us, the cold wind is blowing here! "Lan
…
…
The battle around Xiaonanzhuang, as Li Yunlong said, is in full swing.
The vanguard brigade of the Suzuki Alliance, which was attacked from both sides, was in a very bad situation at this time.
After the Eighth Route Army's cleverly designed pocket formations completely tightened the pockets, the retreat route of the entire Japanese vanguard brigade was completely blocked by the Eighth Route Army's troops from Zhangjiazhuang, Majiapu, and Liujiacun.
Especially the mechanized combat unit of the Eighth Route Army that fought in a roundabout way, including armored vehicles and various tanks, made the Japanese army frightened.
In the battle inside Xiaonanzhuang, the Japanese offensive was also greatly hindered. Lan
Kong Jie led the elite of the Iron Triangle to advance from the left wing, and the 715th Regiment attacked from the right wing. The Japs were defeated steadily and could only concentrate their forces and defend to resist.
..."Your Excellency, Wing Commander, there is news from the First Battalion, requesting urgent reinforcements!"
Being attacked from two sides in Xiaonanzhuang, Captain Shaozuo of the Japanese Army, who was fully aware of the powerful artillery fire of the suddenly emerged Eighth Route Army and whose psychological defense was almost completely broken, hurriedly asked for help from the regiment headquarters.
This time, they didn't even bother to use fig leaf terms like tactical guidance, and directly requested reinforcements.
The old Japanese Suzuki, who was leading the main force to advance rapidly towards Xiaonanzhuang and was at the temporary headquarters of the army, was a little shocked after hearing the news.
At this moment, he still didn't understand what happened to the vanguard brigade.
When did the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi become so brave? Lan
His own vanguard brigade, which at least included nearly a thousand elite men, was beaten by the Eighth Route Army and hurriedly called for help.
How long did it take before and after?
——Otherwise, we should quickly order the vanguard brigade to retreat, and lead the team back to Guzhen, unable to hold out?
This idea suddenly popped up in Suzuki's heart, but he immediately threw it away. He even felt that his face turned red, feeling a little humiliated for no reason.
"Damn, it's just the Eighth Route Army, how can I be a Westfield weakling?"
"Command troops, speed up the advance!"
...Lan
The Japanese vanguard brigade was completely trapped in the Qiancun area of Xiaonanzhuang.
At this time, there is a tiger in front and a pursuing army behind.
The Japanese Shaozuo was forced to huddle all the remaining troops of the entire vanguard brigade in the Qiancun area of Xiaonanzhuang.
Prepare to use the houses, earthen walls and other buildings in the village to defend desperately and wait for the reinforcements of the main force of the alliance.
The generals of the Eighth Route Army had long expected such a situation.
A few days ago, the 358th Brigade headquarters was rehearsing what would happen after the battle broke out.
Everyone had speculated that the Japs' vanguard troops would eventually be completely besieged in the front section of Xiaonanzhuang according to their deployment and plan. Lan
Kong Jie directly pointed out at this time: "As the old saying goes, it is better to cut off a finger than to hurt an arm.
Before the main reinforcements of the Suzuki Regiment arrive, if we cannot completely cripple or even destroy the Japanese vanguard troops trapped in the front section of Xiaonanzhuang.
Once the Japs attack from both sides, we will be forced to fight on both sides.
That would be passive.
So I think that once the Japs' vanguard troops are trapped behind the front section of Xiaonanzhuang.
The next thing our army has to do is to concentrate all its firepower and completely cripple this devil's vanguard force in the shortest possible time! "
How to do it specifically? Lan
When the twenty or thirty large oil drums with steel base chassis were quickly transported to the middle section of Xiaonanzhuang by seven or eight military transport vehicles.
For the Japanese vanguard brigade, the nightmare is about to begin.
Peng Peng Peng...
As a series of blasts, which were lower than conventional artillery, came out, explosive packets burning with sparks flew out from the mouths of the large oil drums, each thicker than a fat pig's waist, towards the little man. It flew in the direction of Zhuangqianzhuang.
Then...
Boom——
The heartless cannon first developed by a military arsenal once again showed its power. Lan
This kind of artillery does not have much range, and the artillery itself is relatively heavy, so there are many restrictions on the targets suitable for hitting.
But at the moment, the Japanese vanguard brigade is completely trapped in the first half of Xiaonanzhuang. The area is limited, and the Japanese army's strength is relatively concentrated, so the location is completely determined.
Is there any military target more suitable for bombardment with unscrupulous artillery?
In a series of explosions, the explosive package weighing about ten kilograms quickly released its astonishing power and caused such destructive power that even the soldiers who were one or two hundred meters away couldn't help but gasp when they saw it from a distance. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially those soldiers of the 358th Brigade who witnessed the shocking scene of such a heartless artillery launch for the first time, as well as the scene of destruction after the explosion.
All of them were dumbfounded.
Even Captain Yang of the 715th Regiment was no exception. Looking at the hellish situation for the Japanese army, he couldn't help but mumbled: Lan
"Damn, this Iron Triangle team is really not a human being! How can this be fighting the Japanese? They are just here to massacre!"
Why don't you always say that no book can be written without coincidence?
Just when the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army launched the most violent offensive, using dozens of heartless cannons, they threw hundreds of explosive packets into the front section of Xiaonanzhuang where the Japanese vanguard brigade was located.
The Japanese commander Suzuki, who was leading the main force to the Xiaonanzhuang area, boarded a dirt bunker and heard the astonishing sound of the earth shaking from a distance. He happened to watch it...
Then, at this unforgettable scene, Suzuki was so shocked that the telescope he was holding in both hands suddenly fell to the ground.
He saw his vanguard brigade trapped in the front section of Xiaonanzhuang, and then he also saw the explosive packets flying in the sky, hitting the front section hard, and then exploding.
This damn offensive method made the Japanese leftist, who had always been considered calm, feel like his heart was shaking for a moment. Lan
The Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi had never had this kind of offensive method.
What on earth are those big cylinders spitting out tongues of fire?
"Your Excellency, the company captain, the communications department of the First Battalion has completely cut off communications!"
The Japs chief of staff who came around quickly picked up the telescope that old Japs Suzuki had dropped on the ground in fright, and said sadly.
Coupled with the devastating scene visible to the naked eye not far away.
It's self-evident what this means.
This attack method used by the Eighth Route Army, which was unprecedented for these Japanese troops, has already caused a devastating blow to the vanguard brigade. Lan
At this time, the Japanese Chief of Staff suddenly asked a soul-testing question:
"Da Zuo, do you want to continue attacking?"
The old devil Suzuki was stunned by this sudden inquiry.
Looking at the vanguard brigade not far away that had been completely crippled, and the Eighth Route Army's strange and shocking offensive methods.
As far as the eye could see, there seemed to be quite a few Eighth Route Army troops.
There was even an armored unit of the Eighth Route Army outside Xiaonanzhuang. The seven or eight armored vehicles were speeding back and forth, accompanied by artillery shelling towards the front area of Xiaonanzhuang.
Suzuki, who immediately wanted to quit, felt humiliated, but he also realized that his intelligence had made a serious misjudgment. Lan
The group of Eighth Route Army in front of him no longer resembled the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi that had backward equipment and scarce ammunition.
Without the fortifications of Guzhen, there is no flanking attack from the vanguard brigade.
The Nishino Regiment remained stationary in Baode County.
This series of factors actually made Suzuki retreat after a moment of thinking.
But in the end, these thoughts were severely abandoned by him.
This old devil will never look back until he hits the wall.
He was shocked by the strength of the Eighth Route Army, angered by the heavy losses suffered by the vanguard brigade, and humiliated by his budding intention to retreat. All these emotions would eventually merge into his overwhelming hatred for the Eighth Route Army. Lan
Suzuki almost gritted his teeth and said: "Fight, continue the attack, and smash these Eighth Route Army troops into pieces!"
Of course, the anger did not go to Suzuki's head. On the one hand, he asked the Communications Department to quickly contact air fire reinforcements.
On the other hand, while deploying infantry to advance and raid the back and side of the Eighth Route Army troops outside Xiaonanzhuang, the rear artillery troops were ordered to immediately build positions and launch artillery coverage of the Eighth Route Army in Xiaonanzhuang.
Cover the remaining troops of the vanguard brigade to withdraw from Xiaonanzhuang.
The old Japanese Suzuki was also willing to take risks. The changes in the situation made him no longer confident in destroying this Eighth Route Army unit.
But he finally decided that with the fearlessness of a soldier, even if it means fighting to the death, he must completely eliminate these damn eight-way traffic in front of him.
The final battle is imminent. Lan
385th Brigade Provisional Forward Headquarters.
Brigadier Zhang, who was inside the artillery defense fortification and watching the battlefield situation with a telescope from a distance, clenched his fist fiercely:
"Okay, the main event finally begins!"
"Inform the 716th, 715th Regiment, and the Yanbei North Detachment. In the final decisive battle, let the soldiers fight hard against me and rush in front of the brothers in the Iron Triangle."
"The old rule is, after completely dispersing the entire Suzuki unit, divide and outflank them, and eat them piece by piece."
"yes!"
After the signal corpsman went to deliver the order, Brigadier Zhang turned to the political commissar and said: Lan
"What a great start to this battle! This battle also woke us up and made us realize the gap between our team in the Northwest Military Region and the Iron Triangle Force.
As the old saying goes, if you don't steam the steamed buns, you will lose your reputation.
The equipment of our army is not as good as that of our brother armies.
After the final battle breaks out, at least we have to be faster than them. When we reach our territory, we cannot let our brother troops bear greater casualties. "
The political commissar nodded, looked up at the sky, and said, "Brigadier, I'm worried about another thing now. Once the battle starts, the Japanese planes will definitely come for reinforcements."
Brigadier Zhang said: "We can only use the old method, let our team and the Japs be completely mixed up, and make it difficult for the Japs' planes to fire.
After this battle, casualties will definitely be inevitable, but as long as the Suzuki United can be defeated, all the costs will be worth it! "Lan
…
In this relatively gentle area, in the open space outside Xiaonanzhuang, the Japanese Suzuki Regiment and the main force, mainly the 358th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, launched a large-scale confrontation.
According to the troops invested by both sides.
The main strength of the Suzuki Regiment is nearly 4,000 men. However, after the vanguard brigade and the leading mechanized reinforcement squadron were defeated first, the strength is only about 3,000 men.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army used to besiege the Japanese vanguard brigade in the front section of Xiaonanzhuang, and used part of the troops, including the first section of the 716th Regiment, the first section of the 715th Regiment, the first section of the Yanbei North Detachment, and the section led by Kong Jie, totaling 3,000 people. about.
As the confrontation between the two sides gradually became intense, Suzuki United was completely entangled in the front section of Xiaonanzhuang.
The 385th Brigade was arranged in Zhangjiazhuang. The remaining main forces of the 716th Regiment in the Majiapu area, as well as the remaining main forces of the Yanbei Detachment in Liujiacun and the remaining main forces of the 715th Regiment in Daqing Village were also involved in this encirclement and annihilation battle. Lan
】
The 715th Regiment, 716th Regiment and Yanbei Detachment used by the 358th Brigade this time are the absolute main force of the entire 358th Brigade.
The strength of these three regiments is nearly 6,000.
Coupled with the troops led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, even 7,000 troops cannot defeat them.
The strength of the Eighth Route Army was almost 2.5 times that of the Japanese army.
With more than twice the strength, they used a pocket formation to completely encircle the Suzuki Regiment in the front section of Xiaonanzhuang and attack from a pincer attack.
That's enough!
After the pocket formation is completely closed. Lan
The old devil Suzuki finally realized that these damn Eighth Route Army had a big conspiracy, and these traps were connected one after another.
He even judged in horror:
The Eighth Route Army's move was precisely to destroy his Suzuki Regiment!
…
