Twenty minutes later, a short and fat Japanese came to Yamazaki Erping and reported: "Sir, are you aware of anything ahead?"
"Is it the Eighth Route Army?" Yamazaki Erping's pupils widened.
"No, sir, please come and take a look!"
Later, Yamazaki Erping followed the Japanese and trotted all the way to the back of Wujiapo, taking out his binoculars to observe the situation.
On a flat ground on the back side of Wujiapo, five or six tile-roofed houses are arranged together.
In the middle of the courtyard, many doctors in white coats came and went.
Obviously, this is the hospital behind enemy lines on the Eighth Route.
Not far from the hospital, there is an arsenal. Outside the door are hand grenades made in the border area that will be loaded onto a carriage and carried away.
No one noticed that the Yamazaki Brigade had quietly approached.
Seeing this, Yamazaki Erhei grinned and said: "Hey, there is an old saying in China, there is no place to be found after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to find it!
Unexpectedly, I discovered the hospital and arsenal behind enemy lines on the 8th Route. It was really great. "
The adjutant on the side didn't have a telescope, so he didn't know the situation clearly. When he heard Yamazaki Erhei finished speaking, he also said excitedly: "Sir, you have made a meritorious service now.
As long as we launch a surprise attack, we will surely capture the Eighth Route Hospital and blow up their arsenal. If General Yoshio Shinozuka knows about your achievements, it is not impossible for you to become a colonel. "
"Yo Xi, you have touched my heart."
After a slight tilt, the entire Yamazaki brigade followed. Yamazaki Erhei immediately arranged: "Order the mortar squadron to target the hospitals and arsenals behind enemy lines on the 8th Route and hit me hard."
According to international conventions, attacks on hospitals are not allowed during war.
But after all, the little devil is not even a human being, so he can't control the constraints of international conventions at this moment.
"Hayi!"
Leaning slightly, all members of the mortar squadron were in position, and all thirty mortars were aimed at the hospital and arsenal.
"emission!"
Yamazaki Nihei gave an order, and thirty mortars were fired together. The shells arced in mid-air and hit near the hospital and arsenal.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
More than a dozen artillery shells first hit the area around the hospital, instantly bursting into flames.
People in the hospital never expected to be attacked by Japanese artillery fire. Many doctors and nurses died in the artillery fire before they had time to react.
The only defense team in the hospital could not find where the Japanese were hiding and could not form an effective counterattack.
Just as the Japanese were preparing to load the second round of shells, they suddenly heard gunfire coming from the left and right sides of Wujiapo.
"Little devil, grandpa has been waiting for you here for three whole days."
Zhang Dabiao held a crooked machine gun and fired fiercely, killing seven or eight artillerymen in the blink of an eye.
Originally, they were ambushing on the other side of Wujia Slope, but after the Yamazaki Brigade arrived on the other side of Wujia Slope, they were immediately discovered by the Eighth Route Soldiers of the First Battalion.
So Zhang Dabiao immediately adjusted his deployment and divided his first battalion into two parts to outflank and attack from the left and right.
Although it is only a battalion-level combat unit, the overall strength of the new regiment exceeds 5,000, and the strength of one battalion reaches 850, which is comparable to the Yamazaki Battalion of more than 1,000.
Coupled with the sneak attack, Zhang Dabiao's first battalion completely took advantage.
As soon as the distance between the two sides closed, the mortars lost their effect, and an entire artillery squadron of Japanese soldiers was killed in an instant.
Faced with the sudden appearance of eight-year-olds on both sides, Yamazaki Erpei was stunned: Nani, where did so many eight-year-olds appear?
"Brothers, beat these devils hard!"
Zhang Dabiao didn't care about anything during the battle. He just rushed forward with the machine gun in hand. The Japanese were caught off guard by the fierce rain of bullets.
Those at the front were armed with machine guns or submachine guns, including some American submachine guns seized from Yamamoto's special forces.
"Grenade, throw it!"
After a round of fire coverage, Zhang Dabiao gave an order, and the soldiers in the row behind took out grenades one after another.
Disassemble the lead, hold it in your hand to calculate the time, and throw it out on time.
The grenade drew a beautiful arc and exploded at a height of about fifty centimeters from the ground.
This is a new type of grenade bombing method created by Zhang Dabiao.
As long as you calculate the time for the grenade to explode after pulling the fuse, you can make the grenade explode in mid-air, thus causing a wider range of damage.
The Japs looked up at the sky. Hundreds of grenades were falling one after another, instantly causing many Japs to fall in a pool of blood.
In just two rounds of firepower, the Yamazaki Battalion lost half of its troops, leaving less than 500 people to continue fighting.
