"Tell them to fight like this, continue to increase the intensity of sorties, don't worry about ammunition supplies, and there will be supplies for them later." In the truck compartment that was speeding all the way, Zhuo Fei whispered to the adjutant beside him, but Zhuo Yan, who was fully armed, had already slept in the dark. It was an order from the top of the government to go north to Shijiazhuang, and the war on the Burmese side had basically stabilized, so Zhuo Fei, who had nothing to do, pushed the boat north and went north, and he also wanted to see the combat performance of the new army with his own eyes.

Knowing that Okamura Ninji had already dispatched a large army to assemble on the front line in Handan to prepare for a confrontation with the new army, Zhuo Fei, who had already entered Shanxi, accelerated his speed, and at the same time ordered the guerrilla troops in Hebei to intensify their attacks and harassment of the Japanese army's logistical supplies. It is an indisputable fact that the Japanese army is stronger than the Chinese army, but after all, it is not the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the general Okamura Ninji will no longer face the earlier national army, they will face a new army equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment.

If it is divided according to the performance of weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese puppet army in Hebei may not be stronger than that of the new army, but Zhuo Fei never underestimated the opponent, so he ordered the guerrilla troops to continue to attack the logistics and supply of the Japanese puppet army in Hebei. While consuming a large amount of the logistics and supplies of the Japanese puppet army, it was also to mobilize more Japanese puppet army troops to return to their occupied areas, which was also to relieve some pressure on the new army.

Dai Anlan's headquarters, which was hiding outside Yangquan, had not moved, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army appeared in the area around Xingtai early, and the armored combat vehicles that Dai Anlan temporarily assigned to the troops of the Eighth Route Army played a key role. So, at the same time that Zhuo Fei transferred to Hebei, Okamura Ningji also dispatched troops to Handan again to intercept the Chinese army.

Battles often take place in an instant, and when a large number of the main forces of the enemy and us approach the front line of Handan, the forward troops of the two sides have inevitably collided together. Cishan Town is located in the east of Shexian County, south of Wu'an, less than 50 kilometers away from Handan, no one would have thought that this place, which is basically impossible to find on the map, will become the fuse of the Japanese puppet army in North China and the Chinese army in Hebei.

Dai Anlan transferred to the Eighth Route Army troops not only a batch of armored combat vehicles, in addition to a small force of more than 500 people, originally the responsibility of this new army unit was to protect those armored combat vehicles, but as the Eighth Route Army troops continued to speed up to Handan, the speed of the modified combat vehicles that were not fast gradually fell behind, the forward troops of the Eighth Route Army rushed to Cishan Town, which was not far from Handan, and defeated the Japanese puppet army troops stationed in Cishan Town.

There was also a new army squad of no more than 40 people who rushed to Cishan Town with the forward troops of the Eighth Route Army, and when the troops of the Eighth Route Army were busy consolidating their defenses, this new army squad of only 40 people did not know what they were busy with at the front of the position. Waiting for the enemy to appear on the battlefield was often the most unbearable, and while most of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army waited quietly according to the orders of their superiors, the New Army squad sat together and talked quietly.

"Captain, look! There's a gang of devils running to the mound where you buried your explosives! Looks like there's a big official! Fang Shun, who was lying in the trench as an observation post, turned around and whispered to his captain, Zhang Shan, who was sitting in the trench, took the telescope handed by Fang Shun and looked carefully at the front of the position. Fang Shun was right, about three or four hundred meters in front of the position, a group of Japanese soldiers loomed, and among that group of Japanese soldiers, there was a guy with a long collar wearing the rank of Zhongzuo.

"Don't worry, wait until the battle starts." Zhang Shan's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Fang Shun, if it was according to Fang Shun's thoughts, this would be the best chance to detonate the explosives, at least to kill the Japanese soldier Nakazo who was hiding behind the mound. Xu saw the unwillingness in Fang Shun's eyes, Zhang Shan patted Fang Shun's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile, "Boy, our explosives are not blown by the wind, we wasted those explosives for seven or eight devils, Lao Tzu is a little unwilling." ”

After listening to Zhang Shan's words, Fang Shun knew that he would be wrong, and the Japanese army soon launched a round of tentative attacks, first carrying out two rounds of artillery bombardment on the positions of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese soldiers of Moyo's squad rushed over in a straggler formation. The attacking Japanese army had only one squad, and the Eighth Route Army troops in the position responded fairly calmly, neither exposing machine gun fire nor using mortars supported by the new army, but only repelled the Japanese tentative attack with a platoon of guns.

Xu was fired by the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side finally became ruthless, and after shelling the positions of the Eighth Route Army again, a large number of Japanese troops in a squadron of Moyo in Wuyang were killed under the cover of light and heavy machine guns. The attacking Japanese army was already a squadron, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the position no longer hid heavy firepower, and the new army squad, which served as a reserve on the flank, was also ready to attack at any time, especially the captain Zhang Shan grabbed the detonator in his hand early.

"Good! Great, Lao Tzu will give you a heavenly maiden to scatter flowers. With the moment the detonator in Zhang Shan's hand was pressed, the mound on the flank of the Japanese position exploded with a "boom", and in the explosion like the earth shaking the mountain, a large number of earth and rocks rose high with the air wave of the explosion, and the Japanese troops who were originally hiding behind the mound to observe the position of the Eighth Route Army were all drowned in the dust.

Before the battle, Zhang Shan and his gang made a detailed observation of the terrain here, and after judging that the Japanese army would definitely use this mound, Zhang Shan led people to bury at least 30 kilograms of high explosives in the mound. The power of the simultaneous explosion of 30 kilograms of high explosives is extremely terrifying, and in order to increase the lethality, Zhang Shan and his gang also added a large number of stones to the mound, and after the explosion, there was no Japanese soldier who could still stand within 100 meters of the mound as the center.

The Japanese soldier who was stared at by Fang Shun for a long time was naturally without bones, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers within 30 meters of the center of the explosion were even more fragmented, and half of the corpses were broken hands, feet, intestines, and ** all over the ground. There were also a considerable number of Japanese soldiers who were shaken away by the air wave generated by the explosion, and many more Japanese soldiers were shocked to death, without any injuries on their bodies, but bleeding from the seven orifices, and their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears were full of blood, and the death was extremely terrifying!

Nakasa, who led the team, had been blown up, and the Japanese army, who had lost its command and spiritual support, could no longer be angry, and the offensive queue was quickly disintegrated and repulsed. The Japanese troops, who had lost their commanders, immediately retreated and sent people to ask for help from their large forces, while the forward troops of the Eighth Route Army, which were weak, also accepted them when they saw that they were good, and did not pursue the retreating Japanese troops. The Japanese army retreated, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army did not sit idle, seeing the power of the explosives of the new army, the troops of the Eighth Route Army also began to lay a large number of mines and explosives in front of the position, and reinforced the trenches they had dug earlier.

As a result, after a day's rest, the Japanese army that had just experienced defeat made a comeback, and unlike the Japanese army that appeared last time, the Japanese troops who rushed to Cishan Town this time became much smarter. The Japanese not only strengthened the protection of their headquarters, but also sent a large number of advanced troops to search the flank of Cishan Town, and after confirming that there was no threat, they built a defensive line and positions on a large scale. On the morning of the third day, more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops launched an attack on the position of the Eighth Route Army, and a new round of fighting began.

With the cooperation of artillery fire, a large number of well-trained Japanese soldiers used the famous wave attack of the Japanese army to attack the positions of the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese army has another name for this wave-like crowd attack, that is, the pig burst tactic, which is a crazy tactic of the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War.

They divided the attacking troops into 10 groups according to the total strength, and each time they put in one group, that is, one-tenth of the total strength of the attack, the whole process of attack was mainly based on not counting the price, not counting the casualties, continuous attacks, wave after wave, through more than 10 consecutive attacks without counting the price, always grasping the weak points of the opponent's position to pursue and attack fiercely, and further expanding the weakness of the opponent's position, and finally achieving the goal of creating a seemingly endless feeling of attack on the opponent's psychology, and then destroying the opponent's self-confidence, thus completely disintegrating the opponent's position.

However, all officers who have had experience in firefighting with the Japanese army will be familiar with the Japanese army's pig attack tactics, but so far, the Chinese officers who have had a head-on confrontation with the Japanese army have not found a good way to deal with the Japanese army's pig attack tactics. In the face of wave after wave, seemingly continuous Japanese offensive, the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the position could only use strong firepower to respond. The superiority of the Japanese artillery was thus revealed, and under the precise attack of the Japanese artillery, the middle fire points on the position of the Eighth Route Army were destroyed one after another, and the attacking Japanese advance was less than 100 meters away from the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing that the position of the Eighth Route Army was crumbling, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the position were ready to engage in a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army, Zhang Shan and the others still came to the main position from the flank of the position unhurriedly, "Battalion Commander Zhao, notify the mortars behind to fire, now is not the time to save ammunition." Knowing that the battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army, Battalion Commander Zhao, had obviously forgotten the dozen mortars behind the position, Zhang Shan reminded the other party.

When the mortars behind the Eighth Route Army's position fired back, Zhang Shan led his soldiers of the New Army and arranged more than a dozen oil drums in the trenches of the main position. "This thing, but our secret weapon, I can't tell you clearly, wait a while, you can see its power with your own eyes." Zhang Shan didn't explain the use of these oil drums to the people of the Eighth Route Army too much, but just took the New Army soldiers under his command to adjust the inclination angle of those oil drums.
