As time goes by, more and more Japanese invaders enter Dawangou.
The terrain here is very dangerous, with several bends. If it is densely populated, it will be no problem to accommodate 6,000 Japanese soldiers.
Only more than 3,000 Japanese came, and the length of the Japanese team would only account for half of the length of the entire canyon.
This means that half of the ambush Eighth Route Army troops have no fight.
However, Li Yunlong was sure to kill a whole table of guests, let alone half a table of guests.
If you kill half the table of guests, you probably won't even need a reserve team.
In addition to the main battle plan, Li Yunlong prepared a total of three sets of plans. The second set of plans was a strategy in which the Japanese only came half way.
That is to put all the Japs in completely, and then fire when the leading Japs are about the same distance from the canyon exit and the trailing troops are about the same distance from the canyon entrance.
The advantage of fighting like this is that there is no need to deliberately cut off the head and tail. The Japanese, whether they are the leading troops or the tail troops, have to run far to reach the entrance and exit of the canyon if they want to escape.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers have been ambushed everywhere in the canyons on both sides. This distance is the road to death for the Japanese.
In the field of view of the telescope, Li Yunlong saw that the Japanese were all within the ambush circle, and that the leading and trailing troops had reached their expected positions.
He walked to the phone in person, picked it up, and said firmly: "Fire!"
After giving the order, Li Yunlong walked back to the observation window of the headquarters and raised his telescope to look.
"Bah!"
A few seconds later, a red flare shot into the air.
The bomb-dropping teams of the ambush troops on both sides of the canyon jumped up and threw the grenades in their hands towards the road.
Densely packed large tumors, cantaloupe grenades, and border-made grenades whizzed past, like a flock of sparrows flying across the sky.
Boom boom, boom boom boom, boom boom...
In an instant, the grenade exploded in the air or landed on the road. The sound of short and continuous explosions was deafening.
The flying shrapnel raged with the breath of death, and the panicked Japanese soldiers could not find a safe corner.
The soldiers of the three infantry regiments are well prepared. Each bombardier is equipped with at least 20 grenades, and ordinary soldiers also have at least 3 grenades.
The bombardiers continued to drop bombs continuously, and many Japanese soldiers were directly hit by several grenades at the same time, and their heads were blown apart.
Half the length of the canyon road was instantly enveloped in fireballs and smoke within a dozen seconds.
From the perspective of the new regiment headquarters, countless orange-red mushroom smoke clouds were constantly rising from the highway.
"What a big scene!" Looking at this scene, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but marvel.
Beside Captain Li, Chu Yunfei witnessed the battle scene in which the Japanese were beaten helplessly, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked by the power created by the war.
The scene in the original play where more than 3,000 border-made hand grenades were thrown at Li Jiapo was completely incomparable to the scene before us.
In less than a minute, the ambushing soldiers threw at least tens of thousands of various grenades at the Japanese.
It wasn't over yet. The sound of mortars, overshadowed by the explosion of grenades, roared down towards the Japanese on the road.
An explosion louder than a grenade soon came.
This is still the case without using the mountain field artillery, because once the battle starts, the mountain field artillery cannot modify the shooting parameters, and it is easy to hurt one's own soldiers.
The reason why Li Yunlong brought the mountain artillery was to see if there was a chance for a head-on artillery battle with the Japanese.
Let the Japanese feel the fear of being completely suppressed by artillery fire.
As the bombardier used grenades to throw the Japs into chaos, the Eighth Route Army soldiers raised their weapons and opened fire on the Japs on the road.
"Captain Chu is right." Zhao Gang nodded, "It is indeed a big scene."
However, Li Yunlong kept his eyes calm and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.
The battlefield situation often changes rapidly, and if you are not careful, the Japanese may seize the opportunity to counterattack. You must be ready to let the reserve team attack at any time.
In fact, in Commander Li's military career of more than ten years, being able to observe and command such a large battle from this perspective has set a new record for him.
The remaining Japs finally reacted to the explosion and a hail of bullets, and howled and fought back under the command of the Japs officers, showing no fear on their faces.
The intense rain of bullets fired at each other from both sides left roads and slopes covered in dust.
The Japs' marksmanship was very powerful. As the machine guns were set up, Eighth Route Army soldiers were constantly shot and fell in the Japs' counterattacks.
However, the equipment of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment is not inferior to that of the Japs, while the equipment of the soldiers of the New Regiment far exceeds that of the Japs.
Some Japanese soldiers even countercharged with rifles in hand, but the next moment they were cut off by bullets from an oncoming large-caliber heavy machine gun.
At such a close distance, there are a large number of machine guns, sufficient ammunition, and they are attacking from two sides from a high position. It is simply a nightmare for the Japanese.
The soldiers carried out Li Yunlong's orders very well, using grenades, artillery shells and bullets to kill the Japanese as much as possible, and finally got off the road to collect corn.
"Brigade commander, call the brigade commander!"
At this time, Colonel Saburo Yoneoka, the chief of staff of the 9th Brigade, was holding the receiver and microphone in the armored vehicle and shouting loudly.
Through the observation gap of the armored vehicle, the bodies of Japanese soldiers were already lying on the roads in front and behind.
The battle continued, and the dense bullets hit the armored vehicle with a crackling sound. Saburo Yoneoka's face turned green with fear.
Because Yoneoka Saburo personally sent a search team to Dawangou to search last night, and two squadrons of Japanese soldiers passed by in trucks in the morning.
And because the brigade commander was in a hurry, Saburo Yoneoka didn't send scouts to search Dawangou at all. In his subconscious, it was absolutely safe. He never dreamed that there was an Eighth Route Army ambush here.
"Migang-kun, have you arrived at Hanjia Village so soon?"
Koshiki Toranosuke's voice came over the radio, and when he heard the intensive gunfire, he thought the troops had arrived at Hanjia Village.
Saburo Yoneoka said in an anxious tone: "Commander of the brigade, we were attacked by the Eighth Route Army in Dagou Bay. Please ask for tactical guidance!"
"Nani?" Koshio Toranosuke's tone changed. "You were attacked at Dagou Bay? How many troops are there on the Eighth Route Army? What's the firepower?"
Saburo Yoneoka casually listened to the sound of gunfire outside: "The Eighth Route Army has at least 10,000 people, and the firepower is very strong. We can hardly withstand it. Please ask the brigade commander for immediate tactical guidance, tactical guidance!"
A rocket struck and hit the armored vehicle Saburo Yoneoka was riding in. The armored vehicle turned into a ball of fire amidst the explosion, and then a mushroom cloud of smoke rose up.
…
"Papa, sizzle, sizzle..."
Huting stronghold, the headquarters of the Japanese 9th Brigade.
Along with a burst of sizzling noise, Saburo Yoneoka's green indicator light slowly dimmed on the radio communication machine in front of Koshiki Toranosuke.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, it seems that Chief of Staff Yoneoka's communication machine was damaged."
The communications staff officer said from the side.
"Baga presses the road!"
Hearing this, Koshio Toranosuke's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Saburo Yoneoka should be in the armored vehicle at this time, and the communication machine should also be in the armored vehicle.
If the communication machine was damaged, there was only one possibility: the armored vehicle was blown up.
Colonel Saburo Yoneoka is most likely already in pieces.
The battlefield observation group was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. Toranosuke Koshio didn't pay much attention to it, but he was really distressed when something happened to Saburo Yoneoka and the soldiers of the 9th Brigade.
After all, they are his subordinates, equal to the meat on the back of his hand, and there are more than 3,000 of them, which is equivalent to an entire arm.
Koshiki Toranosuke's face was gloomy and terrifying, and his tone was cold and stern: "Order, all soldiers must assemble immediately!"
His adjutant immediately ran out of the communications team tent to assemble the troops.
Subsequently, Koshiki Toranosuke ordered the communications troops to switch the radio to the same channel as the special agent team and the battlefield observation group.
Koshii Toranosuke took the receiver and shouted: "The 9th Brigade is calling Yamamoto-kun!"
"This is the special agent team." The voice of the special agent team's communications officer Koro Goro came from the receiver.
"Haga, this is the commander of the 9th Brigade, Koshiki Toranosuke. Ask Yamamoto Kazuki to call me immediately!"
"Hi!" Xiaolu Goro said hurriedly, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please wait a moment!"
Before Kazuki Yamamoto came, Naoomi Hattori roared first.
"Jun Yuesheng, why haven't the main forces of the 9th Brigade arrived yet? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
Koshiki Toranosuke ignored Hattori Naoomi and continued to wait for Yamamoto Kazuki.
Not long after, Kazuki Yamamoto's cold and emotionless voice came from the receiver: "Your Majesty, Brigade Commander, what's going on?"
"Yamamoto-kun, what are you commanding? It's better than commanding a pig from a pig pen!"
As soon as Yamamoto Kazuki finished speaking, Koshiki Toranosuke's roar rang out, and spittle flew across the communications corps tent.
Hattori Naoomi echoed: "Koshio-kun said it right, the 9th Brigade and the Special Agent Team are a bunch of rubbish, no, your First Army is a bunch of rubbish, they are all rubbish!"
"Your Excellency, Captain of the Yuesheng Brigade." Kazuki Yamamoto was a little confused and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
The more angry Toranosuke said, the more angry he became: "You asked me to send 3,000 reinforcements to assist the battlefield observation group, but they were besieged by the Eighth Route Army in Dagou Bay. You are still asking me what happened?"
"Nani?" Kazuki Yamamoto said in disbelief, "How could there be heavy Eighth Route Army troops there? It's impossible!"
Before he thought about it carefully, Yamamoto felt that something was wrong just by intuition, and blurted out: "I order the reinforcements of the 9th Brigade to immediately give up the rescue and withdraw to the Huting stronghold immediately!"
"Nani? Withdraw to Huting stronghold?"
Before Koshiki Toranosuke could speak, Hattori Naoomi's roar came from the receiver.
"Yamamoto Kazuki, what do you want to do?"
"You ordered the 9th Brigade to withdraw, are you prepared to risk your life and not save them?"
"I will send a message to Commander Tada right away, accusing your First Army of refusing to save anyone. Wait until the military court!"
"It's already too late!" Koshiki Toranosuke snorted coldly, "The reinforcements have been besieged by at least 18,000 troops and cannot be withdrawn. Yoneoka Colonel Tamaki, I will lead my troops to rescue them now!"
Kazuki Yamamoto felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it, so he said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we cannot go to the rescue now. We must wait for the arrival of the 29th Brigade and the 37th Division."
Koshiki Toranosuke said coldly: "Yamamoto-kun, do you think I will still obey your orders?"
Yamamoto Kazuki was not polite at all: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, are you going to disobey General Shinozuka's order?"
However, the voice of Koshiki Toranosuke was no longer in the receiver. Yamamoto looked at the radio and saw that the green signal light representing the 9th Brigade's communication machine had dimmed.
"Baga!" Yamamoto cursed angrily and turned to Koro Goro, "Immediately order Masuko to advance into the team and give up the beheading operation at the Eighth Route Headquarters!"
