Chapter five hundred and ninety-two walls
Looking at Ogawa Jingichi's face, Li Jianfeng didn't dare to hesitate at all and had to convey the order.
Now even if he has to lose all the troops in his hands, he has to execute them, otherwise he will lose Taijun's trust and nothing will be done.
After this wave of attack, although the losses were not light, Ogawa Jingichi also generally understood the Eighth Route Army's defense system.
The villages here are built against the mountain, which means they can only attack from the front and side. Needless to say, the defense is the most solid.
The side is not suitable for large troops to be deployed, and it is difficult to conquer the Eighth Route Army as long as it is deployed with a little force.
So Ogawa Jingichi was thinking about something, how did the security army stationed here in such a place be defeated by the Eighth Route Army in a short time?
Although it is not the kind of terrain where one man can pass through thousands of people, it is generally very beneficial to the defense, which further shows the incompetence of these security forces.
Thinking of this, Ogawa Jingichi really wanted to pull Li Jianfeng over and throw him a few mouths. These idiots couldn't even save the good situation. Look at the Eighth Route Army, the defense level is clear and orderly.
In Ogawa Jingyi's opinion, it was already amazing. Unlike the Imperial Army officers, they all graduated from the Imperial Non-commissioned Officer School, most of them were not even able to read.
The starting points of the two sides are different, but on the real battlefield, objectively speaking, the tactical use of the Eighth Route Commander still has many advantages.
They are at a disadvantage because of the gap in weapons and equipment and military qualities, rather than tactical command.
From this point of view, these Eighth Route Army commanders are worthy of admiration. Of course, these are just what Ogawa Jing thinks and will not make any comments.
After all, most people in the Imperial Army think that they are noble races, and they are arrogant and in this way, so they don’t want to become an alien.
But he believed that he did not have so many prejudices and felt that he was more objective in his viewing of things.
Since he realized the terribleness of his opponent, he was even more cautious when facing the Eighth Route Army and would not have any thought of underestimating the enemy.
With the attack power of Li Jianfeng's troops, it was a bit difficult to take down the defense position of the opponent's Eighth Route Army. Since he had roughly seen the defense system of the Eighth Route Army, Ogawa Jingichi would not watch it anymore.
In addition to ordering Li Jianfeng to continue attacking from the front, he also ordered the imperial army to launch an attack from the left side of the village.
The two sides of the village were even more unfavorable to the attacking side, so they could not rely on the security army, so they could only take action by the imperial army themselves.
The trick that Ogawa Jingichi played was the tactic of the Japanese attacking head-on and rushing on the flanks.
The defensive flank is Li Ergou's sixth company. Zhang Yunfei has put a lot of effort into deploying troops. The first company defends the front and the sixth company defends the flank.
The two most elite companies of the New Ninth Regiment are currently used at the most critical points.
It is best for them to stand on the front line when they are good at fighting tough battles, while the sixth company is more flexible and flexible, making it more appropriate for them to hold back the enemy's offensive forces.
However, Zhang Yunfei was still a little miscalculated. Although the frontal attacking troops were large, they were mainly puppet troops, while the Japanese troops all attacked the flank positions defended by Li Ergou.
Relatively speaking, Li Ergou's flank position is easier to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhang Yunfei does not think that the enemy will use this place as a breakthrough point.
So he only deployed Li Ergou's sixth company, but Xiaochuan Jing pressed all the Japanese soldiers to the flank, which put a lot of pressure on Li Ergou.
The wings are easy to defend, but they are only relative to the front. After all, they are in a village. As long as there are conditions, the address chosen by the people will naturally be beneficial to their own lives and travel safety. No matter how steep they are, they will not be much.
So when facing the attack of the Japanese, when the troops and firepower are not at all advantageous, the only advantage of geographical advantage is not considered an advantage.
Compared to the front, the flanks were obviously more like a relatively soft bone. Li Ergou wanted to curse, and he was confident that he could resist the attack of the puppet army.
But the Japanese rushed all over and came here, which was too bullying. How could he block it?
Although the Sixth Company took advantage of the terrain, it caused considerable casualties to the Japanese offensive troops.
But the Japanese are not puppet troops. They will not retreat because of the attack being blocked. Instead, they feel that the flank of the Sixth Company's defense is soft persimmon, which is a breakthrough to open up the situation as soon as possible.
In the eyes of the captain led by the Japanese, as long as they can rush into the village, the defense lines of these Eighth Route Forces will be a piece of cake. In the real offensive and defensive battle, these Eighth Route Forces are still a bit tender.
These are not the mountainous areas they occupy. As long as they break through the outer defensive positions and the Eighth Route Army wants to fight street wars with the Imperial Army, it is purely a search for death, and it is not easy to deal with them.
This Japanese captain is a member of the arrogant member of the Imperial Army who Ogawa Jingichi thinks have been arrogant in the Imperial Army. Even if they have been fighting with the Eighth Route Army for a long time, they are often attacked and suffered great losses. They have never changed their understanding of the Eighth Route Army.
They even believe that the Eighth Route Army was not very good in addition to sneak attacks and escaping quickly. If it was really a head-on fight with the Imperial Army, it would be vulnerable.
Although Ogawa Jingichi reminded him to be cautious, he had already been thrown out of the sky as his attack line steadily advances.
Although he didn't take Ogawa Jingichi's words to heart, he also agreed that Ogawa Jingichi's eighth Route Army said that it was cunning and it was impossible for them to really defend this place and fight to the death. They must have already figured out a way out.
So he also agreed to attack the village as soon as possible. No matter what the Eighth Route Army thought, they simply took advantage of the darkness to break through and escape.
But now it seems to be early morning, but at this time, it is not long before dawn. If they escape, they will use the night to get rid of the pursuit of the Imperial Army.
With such a calculation, these eighth Route Army members won’t stay here for too long.
Instead of falling into the rhythm of the Eighth Route Army and running around the mountain as before, it is better to break through into the village as soon as possible and entangle the Eighth Route Army so that they can't escape and can only fight street battles with the Imperial Army.
The Japanese Captain did not take Ogawa Jingyi's words to remind him to be more careful. In addition to the above judgment, he was also angry with Li Ergou.
Chinese people have a habit of building houses, that is, they like to build walls. Of course, they are all wealthy families who build high-walled courtyards.
Ordinary civilians naturally don’t have that condition, but there are also solutions, that is, just use fences or earthen walls to fool them.
Although this thing cannot prevent thieves, it cannot block the view outside the wall because of its low height, and it cannot have any confidentiality effect.
But people are happy to build walls, as is the case for a family and a village.
The section where Li Ergou defended was on the side of the village, so there was naturally such a village wall. Of course, it was not deliberately built by the villagers, but based on the mountain, in some inconsistent places, a little bit of stone was piled up to form a simple wall.
This kind of wall-mounted method is very common in rural villages, and is generally not a single person tall, but this person does not include the Japanese.
These Japanese soldiers are all soldiers of the garrison troops. They are already the last among Japanese troops. They are all selected by the main division with good physical conditions.
Therefore, these Japanese devils are not very tall, and Li Ergou has also raised them with wooden boards and other debris on the wall. This wall that does not protect against thieves can protect against Japanese devils.
This kind of wall is not smooth, and it is relatively tall. You can actually jump over with one lever and one hand, but it is not so friendly to short people and you have to climb it hard.
It's okay, but it doesn't take much effort to climb over, but in the rain of bullets, that's another matter, this is an obstacle that is not easy to overcome.
