..." Brigadier, you are really right. After that old devil Ushijima Mitsuru rashly entered the farm, he was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army troops. The vanguard's punitive brigade and search brigade were almost completely wiped out.
If the old devil hadn't been lucky and didn't lead the team in personally, it would have been extremely cold by now. "
After the news came that the vanguard troops of the Ushijima Division entered the farm and construction area and were blocked by the Eighth Route Army, Zhou Dasheng said to Yan Sanfu with emotion on his face.
The two Japanese devils spoke with sighs on their faces.
Da Congming lamented: "Brigade, the Eighth Route Army dared to put the main force of a Japanese division into Huangya Cave. They are so audacious!
What on earth do they want to do? They can't just eat a Japanese division directly, right? "
Yan Sanfu shook his head, "It's hard to say! But one thing we know is that the Eighth Route Army rarely fights unprepared battles. Since they dare to have the confidence to put the Niu Dao Man Division into Huangya Cave, they are probably fully prepared. "
"not good!"
At this point, Yan Sanfu quickly reminded, "Immediately tell all regiment and battalion commanders that they must bring the message to the brothers. From now on, we try to stay away from the Japanese army."
Yan Sanfu said with lingering fear: "We have never dared to offend the Eighth Route Army, especially that Kong Shatou, but we have to be on guard in case the Eighth Route Army beats up the Japanese and kills us all. We don’t even have a place to cry.”
…
Ushijima Manchu, who was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in farms and construction areas, was actually more angry.
As for the power of the permanent defense fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army at the Huangyadong Arsenal, this old Japanese only heard hearsay. He also only heard that the First Army once conducted a large-scale raid on the Huangyadong Arsenal, but failed.
But I haven't felt it.
In particular, his impressive division is the most elite Kwantung Army unit in the empire. The Kwantung Army far away in the northeast has always been pampered, and it was also the vanguard of the Japanese army that broke through China's blockade and invaded Chinese territory.
The Kwantung Army has always looked down upon the Japanese troops in the Kwantung.
This is almost the same idea as the Japanese Navy looks down on the Army, and the Army also looks down on the Navy.
In addition, the Ushijima Mitsuru Division is a specially built mountain division, and Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru is especially good at mountain combat.
He did not pay attention to the small traps and ambushes of the Eighth Route Army.
The trauma suffered by the expedition team and the vanguard search group was not enough to have any impact on the main force of his division.
"Baga, if you don't avenge this, I swear you won't be a human being! Order the troops to continue to move forward, strengthen the surrounding vigilance, and beware of the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack at any time!"
Ushijima Mitsuru issued an order, as usual, for the 8th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army to lead the advance, while the main force of his division was hanging behind not far away.
at the same time.
The Huangyadong permanent defense fortification of the Eighth Route Army is the core area.
Huangyadong command organ.
Information about the advance of the Japanese and puppet troops came one after another from the front. The deputy chief of staff personally sat at the Huangyadong headquarters and began to deploy and command.
Regarding the Niudao Manchu regiment that dared to go deep alone and broke into the Huangyadong fortifications very wildly, the deputy commander-in-chief’s original words were as follows:
"In the order of battle of the Japanese army, the Kwantung Army has always been the most elite, and even the little devils think so.
Then let's fight his elite, use a tough battle to completely defeat this so-called Kwantung Army, and crush all the self-righteousness and arrogance of the little devil under his feet! "
so……
"Comrades, the Japs have penetrated into our outer defenses step by step according to our established plan. Next, according to the pre-plan, they will gradually lure the Japs to our preset center line defense zone.
Once the Japs arrived at the preset ambush area, all the troops immediately took action. According to the original plan, they used the permanent fortification group we built to gradually wear down, exhaust, and completely kill the Japs! "
The Deputy Chief of General Staff spoke loudly, with piercing eyes, commanding a large-scale combat force. This was the first time in his experience that he had fought against an elite Kwantung Army field division of the Japanese army.
Excitement is inevitable.
Until this time, the deputy chief of staff once again lamented the long-term vision of Kong Jie.
When Kong Jie proposed to build permanent defense fortifications in the Huangyadong area, who would have thought that the permanent defense fortifications that were fixed in place and could not be moved could still play such a role.
"If such a Kwantung Army mountain unit roams around in a wide range of mountainous areas, it will indeed be a big threat to us.
If all the Japanese troops can be installed in our Huangyadong permanent defense fortification group, the threat will be much smaller.
What we have to do next is to catch the turtle in the urn and consume this devil bit by bit. "
The nightmare belonging to the Ushijima Field Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army gradually began.
At this time, Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru didn't know anything about it.
He even held his head high, self-righteously believing that his trip would completely disrupt the entire Huangyadong defense area of the Eighth Route Army, and even destroy the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal in one fell swoop.
On the other side, the Eighth Route Army's Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle Defense Area.
The Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, which originally thought it was elite, was also beaten.
As the most elite soldiers in the Taihang area, the entire 129th Division, in the eyes of the devil soldiers, steel helmet soldiers, and the Iron Triangle Force of the Eighth Route Army, it is no joke.
Especially the most involved team.
To what extent is it rolled up?
The little devil has always been arrogant, claiming to be invincible at the same level, that is, there is absolutely no opponent in the same organization.
A Japanese battalion can easily defeat the Central Army and even the corresponding battalion of the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army.
The leaders of a team then demanded that each battalion must achieve the minimum combat effectiveness-to be able to completely defeat a Japanese infantry brigade with the strength of one battalion, even in a head-on positional battle.
At the same level, it directly breaks the devil's nonsense about being invincible at the same level.
Put the little devil's dignity and military might under your feet and rub them hard.
This time, in order to kill the Japanese Sixth Division that dared to go deep into the army, Kong Jie spent even more money. The team's specially built foundation in the past two years, as well as various secret weapons newly developed by the arsenal, were used in one go. Most of them.
The powerful combat effectiveness of the steel helmet soldiers in the Taihang area is vividly reflected in one team.
Guancun, the old devil who led the team to fight, became more and more frightened as he fought.
At first, he thought that the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army was not within easy reach, but then he realized that his Sixth Division, which was defeated one by one, could hardly move forward.
From now on, he no longer expects to be able to completely defeat the main force of the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army and crush the Iron Triangle base area.
Just thinking that it would be good to cooperate with the North China Front Army in completing this operational plan to sweep the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Military Region.
As for the initial feeling that a team gave him, it was a bit similar to the Central Army, but the equipment level and combat effectiveness of the unit were obviously more powerful than the Central Army.
Then, as the battle progressed, the confrontation between the two sides intensified.
A large number of secret weapons and powerful methods hidden by a team are revealed in endless layers.
From that flying thunder cannon with an exaggerated caliber, if you are not careful, no matter how many troops there are, you will all be reduced to fly ash under a blast of artillery fire.
Then there are the directional anti-infantry mines that are everywhere in the mountains and fields, and it is impossible to prevent them. After an explosion, it brings unforgettable nightmares and panic to the Japanese soldiers.
These beggar teams, which a few years ago were still struggling to survive in the cracks of the occupied areas, with backward equipment and scarce ammunition, now even have heavy howitzers with long-range offensive means.
Two days ago, the temporary camp where Lao Guiziguan was stationed was also exposed somehow.
The Japanese did not realize where the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions were hidden.
I saw the cannonballs with tail flames streaking from high altitude, and then projected over from a distance.
After a round of horrific bombardment, the temporary command post that Lao Guizi Guancun ordered to be built turned into ruins. More than a dozen staff officers who were in the temporary command post at that time were killed on the spot, and no one survived.
Looking at the devastated temporary headquarters, Guancun also took a breath of cold air.
If he hadn't been lucky and happened to be away from the headquarters and inspecting the troops, he would have died before leaving the army.
This made Guancun shocked and angry.
How can you fight against such an opponent?
"Sir, these Eighth Route Army soldiers are even using American-style equipment!"
They used a Garand semi-automatic rifle commonly known as the Big Eight. They only had to pull the trigger, and with a pop-pop sound, the Imperial warriors fell one after another.
The heavy machine guns they use are American-made Browning brand, and they can even penetrate thin-skinned armored vehicles.
Someone would carry a flamethrower around your camp at night and set fire to the camp, burning the entire camp.
Semi-automatic rifle suppresses bolt-action rifle.
60 mortar can handle the grenade easily.
Thomson, M1 and even M3 submachine guns, in close encounters, are almost a one-sided massacre.
As a disgraced colonel said dejectedly when reporting to Guancun: "General, I feel like we are not fighting an Eighth Route Army, but a fully armed armed force.
The most terrifying thing is that their fighting will is even more terrifying than those of the Yankees.
I once had a comrade write from a comrade in the Pacific battlefield, saying that although the American troops they encountered on the Pacific battlefield were well-equipped, their willpower was far inferior to that of the Chinese.
And these guys in front of me are like a group of crazy wolves who are not afraid of death, and they are equipped with the most sophisticated American equipment... General, with all due respect, is it really necessary to continue this battle? "
In this regard, Guancun was deeply silent.
The Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army.
This time the defense zone contained an unprecedented big fish - the main force of a field division, plus various units of the 12th Army and the First Army.
Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei played with great pleasure.
Ding Wei is a kid who likes to be in the limelight. At the military meeting before the battle started, he directly stated, "If we want to fight this time, we have to beat him hard. Even if we can't completely wipe out the Sixth Division, we still have to fight for our reputation!"
We can build several propaganda armies consisting of loudspeakers and loudspeakers in advance.
As long as the outflanking troops cut off the Japanese retreat, and wherever the Japanese retreating troops appear, this shouting sound will appear.
You must shout in Japanese to ask the Japs to surrender, and at the same time, pass on the news about the battle situation of the Japs' various troops that suffered heavy losses!
Hehe, we, Lao Ding, can still plant the handsome flag in advance. It has to be planted all over the mountains and plains, and the radio detection and shielding is fully deployed. We have to let the Sixth Division have a taste of what it means to be in an all-round attack! "
At the temporary joint command headquarters, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and Li Yunlong personally worked on the huge military map.
Li Yunlong, holding a pencil and ruler, said cheerfully:
"Lao Kong, it seems that our strength will be exposed at least 70% to 80% in this battle.
As for our various combat units, I would be happy to change their names.
For example, for our three-pronged army, it is a bit inappropriate to be called three regiments. "
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Old Li, what do you think it should be called?"
Li Yunlong said: "If you ask me, if we want to call it, we should call it the Eighth Route Army Iron Triangle Base Area Field Group!
There are also field groups directly under the headquarters, the 386th Brigade Field Group, the 385th Brigade Field Group, and the 129th Division Field Group.
Hehe, these five field troops who have completed their training will go head-to-head with the Japs field division, and then completely defeat the Japs. That would be explosive news! "
After hearing this, Kong Jie and Ding Wei laughed together.
The name of the Iron Triangle Base Area Field Army sounds a bit domineering!
The confrontation between the two sides intensified.
Initially, one team was the main combat force and took the lead in participating in the battle. Then Li Yunlong's new second regiment and Ding Wei's new regiment, including the new brigades and reinforcement combat groups assisting in the operation, all participated in this intense battle. , in a battle with the ultimate goal of severely damaging or even annihilating the Japanese Sixth Field Division.
The Eighth Route Army base area also launched the counterattack against the Japanese army's May Day raids.
It has already entered the rainy season.
Human beings are fighting on the earth.
The world is unkind and regards all things as stupid dogs. It doesn't care about the so-called war. It just starts to rain according to the seasons. The rain falls one after another. At first, there are some light rains from time to time. In the following two weeks, It rained heavily all at once.
The accumulated rainfall was so astonishing that rivers were washed out one after another in the mountains and valleys.
Under the erosion of rain, the originally solid dirt road soon became muddy.
I don’t know if it’s because of the severe drought that has occurred in many provinces since 2042. After the severe drought, during the rainy season, there is a tendency for floods.
In the end, under the continuous heavy rain, let alone the Japanese troops who were mopping up key nodes.
Even though the upcoming rainy season had already been arrived, and they were still planning to take advantage of the rainy season's obstacles to the development of the Japanese mechanized combat troops, the commanders of the Eighth Route Army who planned the follow-up operations were also somewhat surprised.
The power of heavy rain is beyond everyone's imagination.
In the ensuing confrontation, both sides were tortured by the muddy environment.
A large number of the Little Japanese's mechanized combat troops were stuck in the quagmire, unable to move forward.
Although the Eighth Route Army's mechanization level is not that high, the combat troops have also been affected a lot.
While the two sides are fighting, they also have to overcome the irresistible pressure brought by nature.
Iron Triangle Provisional Joint Command.
Li Yunlong, who was almost soaked in the rain, rushed into the headquarters and cursed, "Damn it, it's raining so hard, it's hard for the little Japs to escape, but it's hard for us to chase them.
The mechanized combat vehicles we finally brought back from Mongolia are now completely useless.
What is this? "
