The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
It was learned that the Iron Triangle Force had comprehensively defeated the Japanese Sixth Division Army and was currently conducting final operations against the remnants of the Japanese army in the encirclement.
The deputy commander-in-chief and division commander were all overjoyed.
"Okay, this battle was really beautiful. It can be said that it was an unprecedented victory and an unprecedented victory! The three brats Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei have made great achievements again this time. !”
Then a general laughed and said: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, you don't know that after such a huge victory, some people are still not satisfied. I heard that Li Yunlong is still cursing in the headquarters!"
"Oh, how do you say this?"
"I heard that it was because the brother troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei side who were reinforcing the Iron Triangle were not paying attention during the siege of the Sixth Division and allowed some of the little Japs to sneak out at night.
Li Yunlong scolded his mother at the headquarters because of this, saying that the brothers' troops were incompetent. If it were his new second regiment, it would be absolutely impossible for any little Japs to escape. "
After hearing this, the deputy commander couldn't help laughing and said: "What a great Li Yunlong, is he the most capable guy in the world of love?
Isn't this typical ungratefulness?
Friendly troops came to help, why, but it became a crime? This bastard! "
Then everyone's topic shifted to the Huangyadong fortification group.
"The Sixth Division can be said to have completely collapsed. The grasshoppers after the autumn will not be able to jump for a few days. At present, our other remaining main battlefield in the Taihang area is the Huangyadong area. Targeting the Kwantung Army Niu Dao Man Division battle."
"I don't know what the situation is with the deputy chief of staff."
At this time, the Sixth Division had long lost the vigor it had when it first arrived. The remaining Japanese remnants were holding on to the danger, and each of them showed their determination to die. In order to break through the division headquarters, these little devils fought desperately, and Life and death are not a concern.
However, due to the continuous fighting, there was a shortage of supplies and ammunition, and the officers suffered serious losses. The most serious ones were lack of water and bad stomach.
The Japanese chief of staff scolded those black-hearted bastards. There was a lot of food stored in the camps along the way, but it was all fucking coarse grains.
Coupled with the inability to replenish water in time, the soldiers ate too much whole grains, not to mention lack of nutrition, causing stomach problems and even being unable to poop.
The majestic warriors of the empire can't let shit suffocate them to death on the battlefield, right?
This is simply a shame!
However, Kong Jie made things worse.
The more anxious you little devil is, the more you want to fight the last trapped beast and use your remaining physical strength and energy to fight to the death with our Eighth Route Army, but I just can't do what you want.
"It's enough to completely trap the Japanese on the hilltop. Don't rush to attack. We will drag the Japanese down step by step."
Kong Jie had other ideas.
"Although many of the little Japs from the Sixth Division escaped during the night, the main force of the division is basically still within our encirclement. Instead of wiping out all these little Japs, if we can capture all the Japs alive within the encirclement, If so, I think the shock it would bring would be even greater.
Didn’t the Japanese claim to have some bushido spirit and would rather die than surrender?
I want to see how strong their will is.
By the way, Lao Li, Lao Ding, do you think the little devil can withstand the double physical and mental blow?
Let's ask the comrades of the Anti-War Alliance to use loudspeakers to keep shouting, even if they are tough and tough, they will break the fighting spirit of these little devils.
In addition, play a few more hometown songs of the Japanese all night long without stopping. I don’t believe that the morale of the Japanese will not collapse under this series of tactics! "
After hearing this, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei gave a thumbs up.
"Old Kong, if you want to say this is bad, it depends on you!"
After Kong Jie's plan to attack the heart was implemented, under the double blow of body and spirit, the morale of the Japanese army, which was surrounded and almost out of ammunition and food, suffered a great blow.
At night, songs from my hometown echoed from all directions.
The little devils are also human beings. They can't help but start to feel hesitant and hesitant. They stay away from their hometown and fight on this battlefield regardless of sacrifice. What is their purpose?
The originally tense spirit gradually began to collapse, and the whole body and mind fell into decline and deep pain.
As for Laojiazi Guancun, they finally followed the plan of their subordinates and almost broke out with their arms broken and led the breakout troops all the way out.
Looking around, the main force of the originally strong 6th Division was reduced to more than 2,000 people. If the Japanese chief of staff and the Japanese major generals had not fought tooth and nail to cover them, the whole army might even have been annihilated.
Guancun felt as if he was dead for a moment.
When the team finally retreated to the vicinity of Yangquan.
As a result, upon investigation, a situation was discovered that made Lieutenant General Guancun furious.
In this Tianzhong brigade, only a small number of imperial soldiers and Imperial Alliance troops were stationed at the defense line, and they were dawdling on the outer battlefield under the banner of the main force of the brigade.
Guancun was furious and asked about the situation, only to learn that the main force of the brigade had already gone to reinforce Taiyuan.
His Sixth Division had long been left open, so it was no wonder that it was completely surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.
After the news reached the temporary headquarters of the Sixth Division, the remaining Japanese troops trapped in the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army were completely desperate.
The Japanese chief of staff who stayed behind decided to resist and fight to the death.
He ordered to concentrate his troops to break out of the encirclement and seize a nearby mountainous area in an attempt to occupy the mountainous area. He used the central blooming tactic and waited for the arrival of reinforcements.
As a result, under the siege of the Eighth Route Army reinforcements and anti-war soldiers, it collapsed directly. What defeated the Japanese army was hunger, lack of water, and the hope that could not wait.
The Sixth Division can be said to exist in name only.
Even the strength that gave him the final resistance was completely lost.
Lao Yang, Lao Fan, and Lao Xing wore steel helmets and, under the protection of the guard camp, stepped into the core position of the Japs. They saw soldiers sitting numbly, diehards who committed suicide, and many more who were sick or hungry and unable to move. of.
The old Japs at the foot of the mountain and the Japs chief of staff wearing Guancun military uniforms were sitting at the headquarters, and they were killed at the slightest sign.
Waiting to see Lao Yang, Lao Fan, Lao Wei, Lao Xing and the others.
The Japanese chief of staff was quite weak, but he still sneered and asked sarcastically: "Are they Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, or Ding Wei?
We have held you down in this barren mountain for 13 days. Presumably your most powerful mobile force can no longer support other battlefields, right?
And your Excellency, our division commander, has safely broken through. Even if you win, you will not get any benefits, hahahahaha..."
His laughter was full of madness.
Lao Yang looked at the old Japanese soldiers in the headquarters who were suffering from hunger and stomach problems, and suddenly there was a hint of pity and sympathy on his face.
He laughed, but his smile was more mocking.
The Japanese chief of staff used his last breath of strength and shouted almost hysterically: "What are you laughing at? Bastard, what are you laughing at?"
Lao Yang mocked: "What I'm laughing at is your stupidity, old devil. You don't even know who the opponent is that defeated you. You are so self-righteous. No wonder your Japanese army lost the battle. It turns out it was because of you stupid officers." .
Sorry to disappoint you.
We don’t have Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, or Ding Wei here.
The Iron Triangle is busy. All the troops are elite and equipped with all-American equipment. How dare they compete with you small fish and shrimps who are dying? "
It's a shame that you can still laugh even when you're about to die.
Let me make it clear to you, it is not Kong Jie's independent detachment that is besieging you, not even the troops from Ding Wei's and Li Yunlong's troops.
I'm from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Detachment. Last year, Norihide Abe was killed by me. Little devil, you didn't expect that, right? "
At this time, Lao Fan also came up and said, "Little devil, death is imminent, let me tell you another secret.
The Iron Triangle Mobile Force has long been transferred to Licheng, and your troops in the direction of Huangyadong may also be in danger.
Hehe, are you happy? Someone is accompanying you on the road again! "
Lao Wei added: "Let me tell you another piece of good news for free. Your southbound detachment is also surrounded by us."
Lao Xing said: "Everyone, our stage has been set up. Let's ask the actors to take their seats and escort them to Licheng for public trial at the Eighth Route Army Headquarters!"
Major General Yamashita cursed angrily: "Shis cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated. You damn bastards, even if you kill us, you can't stop the empire. The Holy War will win, and the Japanese Empire will win!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old devil took out a hidden grenade from nowhere, ripped off the latch, and hit himself hard on the forehead, not caring about the pain at all.
A group of old devils who are not afraid of death.
However, the faces of the officers headed by the Japanese Chief of Staff no longer had the self-righteous mockery just now, but instead looked like despair.
Yes, even death involves despair.
Until they faced death, they could not even see the faces of Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, the instigators of their death.
I didn't expect that these Eighth Route Army would be so insidious and their methods so ruthless. Maybe this disastrous defeat was not just for his Sixth Division...
It's a pity, it's too late to think about everything, and there's no time to convey the situation here.
"Captain, be careful!"
The soldiers in the surrounding guard camps raised their guns and fired. Several old Japanese soldiers were instantly beaten into a nest of ants. At the same time, with an explosion, all the Japanese soldiers were wiped out.
When cleaning the battlefield, Lao Yang kicked the Japanese chief of staff who was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, and couldn't help but feel pity: "Grandma, I thought I caught this big fish in Guancun, but who could have imagined that it turned out to be a fake!
It seems that the ones who took the opportunity to break out last night should be the team led out by the old devil from Guancun. Now they are really embarrassed. With Li Yunlong's urine, next time we meet, he will be 80% as good as shit. I'm going to curse again. "
Lao Fan on the side said with relief: "Forget it, the harvest is not small, there are two or three major generals!
Who would have thought that the old devil in Guancun was so decisive. Don't listen to Li Yunlong's bragging. Even if he came, he might not be able to catch all these little devils. "
"That's true!"
…
A few days ago, Huangyadong area.
After the Kwantung Army's Ushijima Division was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the old Japanese Lieutenant General Ushijima Manchu learned his lesson and became more cautious. His team was originally a specialized mountain division with good equipment.
In addition to grenades, the field squadron also distributed 60 guns captured by the national army.
At the brigade level, there are lightweight Type 2 120mm mortars, Type 97 Type 90 mortars, and the original Type 92 infantry gun.
The first-level equipment of the wing is Type 41 mountain gun, improved mountain gun, and Type 97 short-barreled 150mm mortar.
The Ushijima Division Heavy Artillery Wing is equipped with long-barreled 150 heavy mortars and Type 99 105mm mountain guns.
Before entering the mountain, Ushijima Mitsuru ordered the division's Type 90 75mm field gun, Type 38 75mm field gun, Type 91 105 howitzer, Type 92 105 cannon, Type 89 150mm cannon, and 4-year-old 150mm howitzer. All were deployed at the forward base on the outer hills to ensure the retreat, without entering the mountains.
In order to go into the mountains to find a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army, this old devil changed all his equipment lightly, carried more baggage and ammunition, and left behind all the suppressive heavy artillery.
Anyway, heavy artillery is not as useful as mortars in the mountains. If the Eighth Route Army heavy artillery is discovered, just let the attached bombers drop heavy bombs. His heavy mortars carry special concrete blasting bombs, which are also targeted. .
But what the old devil didn't know was that the Eighth Route Army's winter offensive had procured a large number of steel rails, all of which were used to strengthen the fortifications. Reinforced concrete fortifications of the rails were poured, which greatly reduced the enemy's artillery offensive of various calibers.
The two sides had several confrontations in the Huangyadong mountains.
The Eighth Route Army troops responsible for engaging the enemy fought and retreated, executing the plan to lure the enemy. Although they showed strong combat effectiveness, they were still repelled by the Japanese army.
This made Ushijima Mitsuru even more confident.
When the Japanese army faced the Eighth Route Army troops that were once backward in equipment, they always had an indescribable sense of superiority.
This trick of showing the enemy weakness seems to be particularly useful when facing the Japanese army.
In addition, the leading 8th Mixed Brigade served as cannon fodder to explore the road.
In this way, the main force of Ushijima's division entered step by step the middle-line cemetery ambush area tailor-made by the deputy chief of staff for this little devil.
Within the Huangyadong headquarters, the deputy chief of staff’s words were very clear:
"In recent years, with the development of our troops' equipment level, the battlefield model and structure should also be adjusted accordingly.
The annihilation of the Kwantung Army's Ushidao Manchu Division this time should be based mainly on artillery strikes, supplemented by infantry coordination. We should give full play to the power of our army's artillery groups deployed in various fortifications in Huangyadong, with the smallest sacrifice and the most violent artillery fire. Completely defeat the Japanese army! "
Mr. Lin Weiquan, the honorary adviser of the Artillery Corps, even personally took command.
A total of more than 100 gun groups and fortifications were mobilized.
As for the heavy artillery position behind the old Japanese man Niu Daoman, it had long been exposed to the sight of the Eighth Route Army scouts all over the Huangyadong mountains.
The coordinates of the heavy artillery position have been passed to nearby artillery fortifications in advance.
The moment the final battle begins.
The cannonballs that almost covered the sky flew out, taking the lead and completely suppressing the heavy artillery fortifications that Ushijima Mitsuru had placed in the rear.
At this time, the strength of the permanent defense fortifications composed of dense artillery groups specially built by the Eighth Route Army for nearly a year in the Huangyadong area was truly revealed.
The entire Huangyadong mountains are like a fixed bunker full of cannon muzzles.
The little devil was like a bright target within the range of the artillery.
Round after round of shelling,
From beginning to end, the Japanese did not even figure out where the Eighth Route Army's artillery group was hiding.
The entire Ushijima Regiment, which was said to be good at mountain warfare and shuttled through the mountains and forests, was suddenly scattered by the intensive artillery fire, like rats scurrying in the mountains and forests.
As for Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru himself, he was even more stunned.
He suddenly felt that he was in the wrong place. This place really looked like hell...
