Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters kill a brigade
"Zhou Ze, Li Wen, you two continue to cooperate, approach the train station as quietly as possible, and then suddenly launch an attack. With lightning speed, you can quickly capture the train station without giving the little devil any chance to react!"
Wang Ping ordered with excitement on his face.
At dawn the next day, the Japanese and puppet troops attacking the fourth battalion set off.
At this moment, in a hilly mountainous area less than two hours away from them, more than 4,000 people from two regiments of the military region's direct brigade were ambushed here. However, whether it was the Little Japanese planes cruising back and forth in the sky, or the Little Japaneses setting off in advance
None of the reconnaissance teams found them.
"Commander, the troops have been lurking. Everyone is covered with thatch, which can keep them warm and concealed. Kill two birds with one stone..." the commander of the first regiment of the direct brigade ordered nervously and expectantly.
You know, in two hours, a large group of little Japs will enter the ambush circle.
A whole brigade of Japs. Since the establishment of the direct brigade, not even a complete infantry squadron has been eliminated, let alone an infantry brigade.
As long as the direct brigade can kill this infantry brigade, the regiment commander is sure that in this battle alone, the reputation of the direct brigade will be established.
"Well done, the Japanese plane flew over our heads just now without any detection, which shows that your disguise was very successful!" The brigade commander was also very satisfied with the result.
After a moment of hesitation, he ordered: "Inform the troops and hold them still. Without orders, the Japs can't make a sound even if they come up to them, let alone fire and expose the target in advance! Also, the artillery is ready!"
The commander of the first regiment immediately reported: "Three mortar companies, an infantry artillery company, and a thunder artillery company are all ready for battle. The muzzles of the guns are all facing the road at the foot of the mountain to ensure the first hit. In addition, the Wang regiment
The commander also strengthened their engineering platoon to ambush us... You don't know, those guys look ugly, but they are no more ruthless than them in dealing with the Japanese~"
"A total of twenty explosive packets were buried on the road and then strung together with wires. By then, these twenty explosive packets alone will be able to kill at least one squadron of little Japs in an instant!"
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Japanese forward troops finally entered the commander's field of vision.
The cruising cover of the aircraft overhead gave them no worries about the hilly area they were about to pass.
The forward troops only fired a few bullets from their machine guns and continued to move forward.
Soon, the main force of the Japs entered the ambush circle. There were more than a thousand Japs, more than 300 puppet troops, four mountain cannons, two infantry cannons, plus mortars and heavy machine guns carried on the shoulders of the Japanese puppet troops.
The team was dragged for eight to nine hundred meters.
"Start the attack!" the commander ordered with a serious look on the battlefield.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Three flares were launched into the sky at the same time. The moment they exploded, the battlefield that was peaceful just now turned into a loud noise of gunfire.
"Rumble..."
The twenty explosive packets that were stepped on by the Japanese exploded first, and the violent explosion was as deafening as thunder.
In the blink of an eye, a nearly 200-meter section of the road in the ambush circle was shrouded in smoke from explosives.
Not to be outdone, the artillerymen also joined the battle. With the twelve mortars equipped by the two companies, the gunners had a taste of firing for the first time. The shells were shot out for free and hit the road.
The Japanese were immediately fooled. The Eighth Route Army attacked them with too much firepower and fired bullets at them regardless of consumption.
By the time the Japanese captain recovered from his shock, more than half of his troops had been lost.
Especially on the section of road that was detonated by explosives, the imperial army of three to four hundred people fell to the ground...
The captain immediately realized that he was in a tough situation, and immediately decided to occupy a nearby high ground, try to save the troops as much as possible, and then decide whether to break out of the encirclement.
"Commander, the Japanese rushed towards the high ground defended by the Third Battalion of the First Regiment!" the brigade chief of staff standing next to the commander reminded with a frown.
"Boom, boom, boom..." As soon as he finished speaking, the explosion sounded on the high ground defended by the third battalion.
The Japanese hurriedly dragged several mortars over and bombarded the third battalion with shells that were likely to hit their heads at any time.
Amidst the violent explosions, more than a hundred little Japs, carrying rifles and light machine guns, rushed to the top of the mountain in a desperate manner.
"Order the artillery to immediately kill the remaining mortars of the Japs, support the third battalion, and hold the high ground!" the commander ordered with a frown.
"The high ground must not be occupied by the Japanese. They have air support. Once they occupy the high ground, we will definitely have to pay a heavy price if we want to take it back despite their plane bombing!"
After speaking, the commander continued to observe the battlefield with his telescope.
At this time, the road that had been blown up by twenty explosive packets could gradually be seen clearly. It was located right in the middle of the ambush circle. The corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere directly divided the Japanese and puppet army into two.
The commander's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "The second regiment and the first battalion, attack immediately, occupy the road that the explosive pack just blew up, split the little devils in two, and then launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops on both sides to compress their living space.
!”
"Rumble..." At this moment, a series of explosions louder than the explosion of artillery shells reached the commander's ears.
Then several fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke appeared on the road in front of the Third Battalion of the Regiment.
The more than a hundred attacking Japs, whether they were lying on the ground or continuing to rush to higher ground, as long as they were within the killing range of the explosive packs, they all fell to the ground and never got up again.
"It's the flying thunder artillery battery of the new regiment. Their reaction speed is so fast. One round of explosive packs smashed down and the Japs' offensive was disintegrated... Commander, the position of the third battalion was held!" The chief of staff was thankful.
, said with a look of surprise.
"Buzz buzz..."
I didn't feel happy for long before the roar of the plane came over.
The chief of staff and the commander both changed their expressions at the same time and looked up at the sky.
At the end of the field of vision, two black spots appeared in the sky, getting bigger and bigger.
"The little Japanese planes are coming... Buglers, blow the charge horn, launch an attack as a whole, fight with the remaining Japanese and puppet troops, and kill them with bayonets and pistols..."
"All artillery units, move immediately and hide..."
At the Japanese brigade headquarters in Xiangfen County, Major General Kawaguchi had no idea that the troops he sent out were being wiped out by the Eighth Route Army one after another. He was still imagining how to wipe out the new regiment on a huge combat map, and then
Completely control Linfen!
At this time, his sweet dream was interrupted by the chief of staff who suddenly rushed into the war room!
