…The situation in Huangya Cave began to evolve, and a fierce battle gradually broke out.
At first, under the leadership of Chen Yongchun, a confused guide who had no idea about the inside of Huangya Cave, the Japanese Major led mobile combat elites and entered the Huangya Cave through the Yixiantian Canyon. Basically, they were like blind men in the group.
Wandering around in the mountains.
After doing this several times, Chen Yongchun could say that the terrain inside Huangya Cave was complicated and he had misremembered the route the first few times.
When we got to the back, the Japanese Major saw it no matter how stupid he was.
This Chen Yongchun is simply a dabbler, and seems to have little understanding of the situation inside Huangya Cave.
At that time, the angry Major took out his gun and almost killed Chen Yongchun.
Coincidentally, the team approaching the foot of a certain mountain was suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army troops lurking here.
The two sides engaged in a brief exchange of firepower. After the Eighth Route Army troops were repelled by the Japanese army's fierce counterattack, Chen Yongchun quickly said in surprise:
"I found it, I found it, Taijun. There will be resistance from the Eighth Route Army here. It must be near the core area of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal!"
Regarding this, the Major was doubtful, but Chen Yongchun was determined to save the dog's life. The Major, with the idea of giving it a try, led the troops to continue the pursuit in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's retreat.
The higher the frequency of confrontation between the two sides.
The evolution of each confrontation becomes more and more intense.
The Japanese Major secretly thought, judging from the changes in the intensity of the Eighth Route Army's continuous blocking, the area ahead may indeed be an important area of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal, as Chen Yongchun said.
In this way, under the obstruction of the Eighth Route Army, after advancing nearly 800 meters again, they arrived at a hilltop with an empty view. The Japanese Major took advantage of the condescending terrain to pick up a telescope and look around.
Sure enough, we found some construction works in the distance, which seemed to be the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army.
"Xinxi! God helps me!"
The Japanese Major was immediately overjoyed, and his original thought of shooting Chen Yongchun immediately dissipated.
Chen Yongchun, who also saw the arsenal in the distance, also had a look of astonishment on his face. He murmured in his heart, could it be that a blind cat encountered a dead mouse and led these devils to find the arsenal hidden in Huangyadong by the Eighth Route Army?<
/p>
Because it was too far away, the Japanese army could not investigate the specific situation of the arsenal. However, judging from the outline of the outside, the arsenal seemed to be quite large. The buildings were connected into a large area, hidden in the mountains, and the location was very hidden. p>
If it hadn't been detected now, it would have been difficult to discover just through the detection of reconnaissance aircraft.
After detecting such important information, how could the Japanese major who only wanted to make meritorious service hesitate?
He immediately made three preparations.
First, he immediately contacted the headquarters and found out that he had found the location of a large arsenal hidden by the Eighth Route Army in Huangya Cave.
And decided to lead the mobile force to launch a surprise attack on the arsenal, requesting the main combat force to speed up the follow-up and provide timely reinforcements.
Second, artillery scouts were dispatched in advance, and the specific coordinates of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal were marked and passed to the command department.
In addition, support troops were dispatched to meet the arrival of the main combat troops along the way.
Third, try to launch a surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army's arsenal in front of you and destroy the foundation of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal.
After all three preparations were in place, the Japanese Major, who thought he was confident, immediately waved his hand and issued the order to fight.
The Eighth Route Army on the opposite side did not give up the blockade. They relied on some raised reverse slopes to advance on the outside of the arsenal and resisted desperately.
This is exactly the revolutionary integrity and spirit that the heroic Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers should show in order to protect the important arsenal.
The Japanese Major concluded from this that the important arsenal of the Eighth Route Army was definitely in front of him, and there was no doubt about it.
The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten minutes.
As the Eighth Route Army relied on the terrain to resist desperately, the troops led by the Japanese Major were limited and could not advance even an inch. They could not capture the Eighth Route Army's position, let alone approach the arsenal not far away.
For a moment, the Japanese Major was also a little anxious, but news came from the headquarters that the combat troops of several large mixed brigades advancing towards the front line were blocked by the Eighth Route Army along the way, their speed was greatly delayed, and they were temporarily unable to arrive.
There is good news.
The elite troops dispatched by the 36th Division are taking the opportunity to move closer to the first line of sky. The mechanized combat troops that are the first to advance have arrived at the entrance of the first line of sky canyon passage.
At the same time.
This time, against the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang base area, and against the sudden battle at the Eighth Route Army Huangyadong Arsenal, the Japanese army had made sufficient preparations in advance and benefited from the temporary construction of the airport in Licheng away from the area where the two sides were fighting.
Close.
Soon.
After the Japanese artillery scouts passed back the coordinate information of the Eighth Route Army arsenal discovered in front of them, a Japanese flying force immediately set off from the temporary airport with enough fuel and bombs.
So, in a large area in front of the arsenal, the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army were in a stalemate.
The roar of an airplane engine suddenly came from mid-air.
The sound was subtle at first, then became more intense from far to near.
Realizing that his air fire reinforcements had arrived, the Japanese Major was delighted and quickly ordered the soldiers to wave bright flags to convey information to the pilots to prevent accidental injuries.
On the other side, the company commander leading the blocking team heard the sound of the Japanese plane in mid-air, his face changed, and he cursed secretly:
"Damn it, this little devil's plane arrived really fast!"
After a few curses, the company commander's expression showed no particular change, and he even ordered calmly:
"Retreat! Escape into the woods, spread out to find bunkers along the way, and avoid the Japanese bombings! Our mission has been completed, and we will hand it over to other teams later!"
"Yes!"
After the order was issued, the soldiers immediately hunkered down and used the cover of the mountain to quietly withdraw from the defenses that originally blocked the Japanese army and lurk in the leafy woods.

After a while.
As the roar in mid-air became more intense, earth-shaking explosions erupted in this local area.
More than a dozen light bombers dropped no less than a hundred bombs on the entire Eighth Route Army arsenal area.
Like a little devil who wanted to prove his power, he spread firepower over the entire area, and his methods were cruel and shocking.
After the bombing, which lasted for more than ten minutes, was completely over, what seemed to be the entire area of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal, all the buildings collapsed, leaving ruins in ruins, like a purgatory on earth.
The little devils who saw this scene had cruel smiles on their lips.
The huge advantage in equipment gives them absolute military confidence.
How could the Eighth Route Army with its backward equipment resist such a powerful aerial fire attack?
It’s basically a mantis trying to block the car.
I thought this was the end.
A rather large arsenal hidden by the Eighth Route Army in Huangyadong was successfully destroyed.
And just when the Japanese light bombers basically threw away all the bombs they carried, they were preparing to fly away.
And after the dive bombing, at the lowest point above the ground.
Suddenly.
There were gunfire explosions in the woods on both sides.
A large number of firepower points suddenly appeared, heading straight towards the dozen Japanese aircraft in the low altitude.
The sudden appearance of the anti-aircraft firepower of the Eighth Route Army, which had been lurking here for a long time, caught the little devil completely by surprise.
The Japanese Major who was watching the battle not far away looked horrified.
As the firepower of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns fired in mid-air, the dozens of Japanese planes trying to leave were like small boats on the waves. As the heavy rain hit, the boat could be destroyed at any time. p>
Fortunately, the Japanese light bombers are also extremely fast.
Although the hidden anti-aircraft firepower of the Eighth Route Army came suddenly, after only suffering a moment of blow, the dozen or so planes still rushed out and most of them rushed out.
Only one light bomber was hit by a fuel tank under intensive fire.
With a roar, the entire plane immediately lost its balance, and with the wings swaying, it plummeted to the top of a mountain in the distance.
In addition, three or five aircraft were also hit by bullets, trailing black smoke. Under the control of the panicked Japanese pilots, they quickly fled the battlefield.
These planes will not crash immediately and may still be able to fly back to the temporary airport in Licheng. However, if they are not inspected and repaired, they will not be able to return to the battlefield in a short period of time.
As for fighting back, the Japanese pilots have no intention of doing so.
The ammunition carried by the light bombers has basically been used up, and there are only two fighter jets accompanying this trip.
In addition, the Huangya Cave is surrounded by mountains and forested areas. These cunning Tubalu have a large number of anti-aircraft weapons in their hands and hide them in the dense woods.
Under such circumstances, even the Japanese fighter jets may not be able to get a bargain.
The commander of the Japanese squadron did not dare to hesitate.
Anyway, the order from superiors is to destroy the target arsenal, and the task has been completed now.
He immediately ordered evacuation.
The little devil's plane came and went quickly. Soon, the roar of the plane was no longer heard in the air. Only the gunpowder particles fired by the anti-aircraft guns slowly fell from the sky, looking like the sky.
Like a falling barrage.
The Japanese Major who witnessed all this was also surprised.
He was shocked by the sudden air defense measures of the Eighth Route Army.
In order to destroy the Eighth Route Army's arsenal in front of them, the empire even crashed a bomber and damaged many aircraft. These damn Tubal Army are really not easy to deal with.
The smoke from the bombing area gradually dissipated with the wind.
The Japanese Major did not delay and ordered to move on. He wanted to take a good look at what these damn Tubal Roads were hiding in these arsenals.
Just as he was leading the team forward, the communications troops arrived to deliver the news.
"Sir, the first batch of reinforcements from our army have successfully passed through the Xiantian Canyon and are heading towards our headquarters!"
"Xinxi, great. Now we have the main force as our backing. As a sharp knife, our unit can penetrate into the heart of the Eighth Route Army at any time without any scruples!"
It’s just that this smile didn’t last long.
The Japanese Major had just arrived at the bombing area, and the soldiers who had arrived early for reconnaissance had hurriedly returned to report: "Sir, the situation does not seem to be good. Judging from the wreckage after the bombing, there seems to be nothing inside this arsenal, but it is empty.
A piece of it."
"Nani? Nothing?"
"Yes, sir, not only that, we also found that the buildings here seem to be only the roughest civil structures. Not even a single brick or stone was found in any of the buildings."
The news that shocked Major came one after another.
This Japanese Major is not an idiot, and a speculation that makes him feel a little unbelievable has been born in his heart.
Could it be...
The arsenal just now is all fake. Is it a camouflage building deliberately built with civil structures on these damn Tuba Road?
But judging from the previous situation, those arsenals were so realistic. The Japanese Major even saw the entrance and exit of the arsenal, with soldiers of the Eighth Route Army coming in and out.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army troops along the way showed a disregard for death.
Isn't it to protect this important arsenal?
Or is this all fake and just a scam deliberately set by the Eighth Route Army?
Major is going crazy.
In other words, the Eighth Route Army built some buildings with mud and wood, and deceived the Imperial flying troops into bombing them. Not only wasting nearly a hundred rounds of artillery shells, they also took the opportunity to destroy an Imperial aircraft.
Or even...even deliberately lured their team here?
Thinking of this, the young commander suddenly thought in a panic that Eighth Route Army's disguise and deception came so easily.
Could it be that all of this was just a trap deliberately used by the Eighth Route Army to lure the enemy deeper?
So, what about the Yixiantian Passage that was defeated easily?
The first batch of main force has even successfully passed the passage and entered Huangya Cave.
Maybe all this was not caught off guard, but deliberate?
This shocking guess made the Japanese Major's face change dramatically.
"Baga, you've been fooled!"
"Quick, report the current situation to the headquarters immediately and tell the headquarters that we are likely to have fallen into the trap of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army is deliberately luring our troops into Huangyadong!!!"
The situation was urgent, and the Japanese Major did not care whether his conclusion was correct or not, and quickly issued an order.
The accompanying communications soldier responded, and the message was only halfway through when a startling explosion suddenly came from not far away.
Judging from the direction, it seems to be the direction of the Yixiantian Canyon Passage.
"Asshole, what happened to Yixiantian?"
The Major cursed lowly.
The hurried communications soldier's face turned pale, "Report to the commander, something bad happened. Just when the second batch of main troops of our army entered half of the canyon passage, a violent explosion suddenly occurred on the mountains on both sides of the canyon passage, and a large number of rocks fell.
It directly blocked the entire passage.
Our army suffered heavy casualties due to rock collapse.
We have been completely isolated inside Huangya Cave."
After the words fell, the colonel's expression continued to change.
Another signal trooper hurriedly arrived.
"Sir, a large number of main forces of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared and attacked our army's first batch of reinforcements from the flank.
The two sides are already at war, and the headquarters ordered our troops to immediately withdraw reinforcements!"
Not far away, the sound of gunfire became increasingly fierce.
Ding——
The major was stunned, with a wry smile on his face. Now it seems that that bad guess has come true...
