..."Brigade, 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 wiped out.
If that 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 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 to tell the brothers that from now on, we should 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.”
……
Ushidao 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.<
/p>
But I have never 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. 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 brigade was not enough to have any impact on the main force of his division.
"Baga, if you don't avenge this revenge, 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 hung behind not far away.
At the same time.
The Huangyadong permanent defense fortification of the Eighth Route Army is the core area.
Huangyadong Command Organization.
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 Ushidao Manchu regiment that dared to go deep alone and broke into the Huangyadong fortifications very recklessly, 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 we will 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 Japanese have penetrated into our outer defenses step by step according to our established plan. Next, according to the pre-plan, we will gradually lure the Japanese to our preset center line defense zone.
Once the Japs arrive at the preset ambush area, all troops immediately take action. According to the original plan, we will use 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 he had fought against an elite Kwantung Army field division of the Japanese army, even with his resume.
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 building permanent fortifications in the Huangyadong area, who would have thought that the permanent fortifications, which are fixed in place and cannot be moved, could actually play such a role.
"If such a mountainous force of the Kwantung Army 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 enemy in the entire 129th Division in the Taihang area, the strength of the devil soldiers, steel helmet soldiers, and Iron Triangle Force of the Eighth Route Army is no joke.
Especially the most involved team.
To what extent is it rolled up?
The little devil has always been rampant, claiming to be invincible at the same level, that is, with the same organization, there is absolutely no opponent.
A Japanese battalion can easily defeat the Central Army and even the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the corresponding battalion of the Eighth Route Army.
The leaders of a team then required 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.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In the case of the same level, it directly breaks the Japanese's nonsense about being invincible at the same level.
Put the little devil's dignity and military power under your feet and rub it hard.
This time, in order to kill the Japanese Sixth Division that dared to go deep, Kong Jie spent a lot of 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 reach, but then he realized that his Sixth Division was almost unable to move even an inch if it was fought one by one.
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.
I just thought 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 impression 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 deepened, the confrontation between the two sides became more intense.
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 guard against them. After an explosion, the Japanese soldiers are simply unforgettable nightmares and panic.
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 Laoguizi Guancun was stationed was somehow exposed.
The Japanese had no idea where the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions were hidden.
I saw the cannonballs streaking with tail flames from high altitude, and then projected over from a distance.
After a round of horrific bombardment, the temporary headquarters that Lao Guizi Guancun ordered to be built turned into ruins. More than a dozen staff officers who were in the temporary headquarters 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 carrying a flamethrower would touch the area around your camp at night and set fire to the camp. The entire camp would be burned down by you.
Thomson, M1 and even M3 submachine guns, in close encounters, are almost a one-sided massacre.
Just 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 Americans.
I once had a comrade write from a comrade in the Pacific battlefield, saying that although the American troops they encountered in 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?"
Regarding this, Guancun fell into deep silence.
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.
The three of them, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, were very enjoyable to play.
Ding Wei is a kid who likes to be in the limelight. At the military meeting before the battle started, he directly said, "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! p>
We can build several propaganda troops 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 units 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:
"Old Kong, look at our battle this time, at least 70% to 80% of our strength will be exposed.
As for our various combat units, I would be happy to change their names.
For example, for our Third Route Army, it is a bit inappropriate to be called the Three Regiments."
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Lao 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!
In addition, there are field groups directly under the headquarters, 386 Brigade Field Group, 385 Brigade Field Group, and 129 Division Field Group.
Hehe, these five field troops who have completed their training will go head-to-head with the Japanese field divisions, and then completely defeat the Japanese. That would be explosive news!"
After hearing this, Kong Jie and Ding Wei laughed together.
Iron Triangle Base Area Field Army, this name sounds a bit domineering!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The confrontation between the two sides intensified.
Initially, one team was the main combat force and was the first to participate in the battle. Then Li Yunlong's new second regiment, 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, treating all things as stupid dogs, and does not 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 is quite astonishing, and rivers have been 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 is because of the severe drought that has occurred in many provinces since 2042. After the severe drought, in the rainy season, there is a trend of floods.
In the end, under the continuous heavy rain, let alone mopping up the Japanese troops at key nodes.
Even though the upcoming rainy season had already arrived, 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, dove into the headquarters, cursing, "Damn it, it's raining so hard, it's hard for the little devil to escape, but it's hard for us to chase him.
The mechanized combat vehicles we finally brought back from Mongolia are now completely useless.
