Head Zhou's eyes lit up and shouted, "Head Li, we all listen to you." ”

"The independent regiment is ready for battle, and I have reduced the remaining troops into three reinforced companies, each with two hundred men, ready to participate in the battle."

Hong Linfeng added: "The second and third battalions and the cavalry battalion are all ready for battle and ready to act at any time. ”

Li Hao pointed to the ambush battlefield he had just found on the map and analyzed: "Look here, the terrain is flat, which is very suitable for the deployment of troops. ”

"The third battalion of the garrison regiment will set off now, advance lightly, build a blocking position here, cut off the road horizontally, and block the devils head-on."

"The guards of the garrison regiment went around behind the devils to block their retreat, and not a single devil could let them slip away."

"The second battalion of the garrison regiment ambushed to the east of the battlefield, and the independent regiment ambushed to the west of the battlefield, concealed and on standby."

"Take my signal flare as the standard, the whole army will assault and destroy the devils."

"The cavalry battalion will set off now, I will strengthen you with ten heavy machine guns and twenty light machine guns, take the five hundred cavalry of the devil away from the battlefield, choose your own position, and eat them."

"The mortar company of the independent regiment, the mountain artillery company, and the three fire companies of the garrison regiment, which I personally commanded, were ambushed behind the blocking positions."

Captain Zhou looked at each other when he heard this, and it took a long time to relieve.

Li Hao's battle plan is too mysterious, without any technical content, and it is completely a siege and annihilation battle with the devil.

The garrison regiment and the independent regiment all the troops participating in the battle together are less than 1,500 people, and the strength is far inferior to the Japanese army.

Commander Zhou didn't hold back at first, and reminded with a worried face: "Commander Li, minus the cavalry, there are more than 1,500 devils, mountain artillery, mortars, rapid-fire guns, and all kinds of heavy weapons." ”

"The terrain here is very suitable for the deployment of troops, and if the battle cannot be ended in a short period of time, they have time to prepare, and the mountain artillery and mortars are all erected, and the encounter will become a battle."

"With this amount of troops, we will definitely not be able to attack, and we may even be knocked out two teeth during the attack, and we will lose our wife and lose our troops."

Li Hao replied confidently: "Don't worry, Head Zhou, I won't give them this opportunity." ”

"Today I went to the arsenal to take a look, minus the light and heavy machine guns and mortars that the troops took away, and there are still twenty spare mortars in it."

"We captured eight of the county seats, seven of which were captured by the independent regiment, plus our own equipment and those taken away from the arsenal by the units last night, a total of 73 mortars of various calibers."

"There are also 14 mountain cannons."

"I'm going to use these guns to build four artillery groups behind the blocking positions."

"The Japanese will definitely stop when they encounter a blockade and send at least one infantry squadron to launch a strong attack on the blocking position."

"The first attack will definitely not do its best, with the combat effectiveness of the third battalion of the garrison regiment, it will definitely be able to catch them by surprise."

"After suffering losses on the third battalion, the Japanese army could only send more troops to attack."

"At this time, their artillery, heavy machine gun units, infantry, will definitely be fully deployed."

"Here's our chance."

"Without waiting for their artillery to be ready, we strike first."

"An artillery group hits the devil's artillery position, an artillery group hits the devil's heavy machine gun position, an artillery group hits the devil's attacking troops, and an artillery group fights the devil's follow-up troops."

"Three minutes of rapid fire from each gun."

"Mortars have a fast rate of fire, and one cannon can fire thirty shells in three minutes."

"The mountain cannon is a little slower, but it can also shoot fifteen shots."

"A total of eighty-seven artillery pieces add up to 2,400 shells, and two shells kill a devil, and we have won this battle."

Head Zhou was frightened

Dumbfounded.

More than 2,000 shells were used in a battle, which I had never thought about before, let alone experienced it.

But he knew it would work.

The devil is also flesh and blood, and in front of the steel cannonball, like the Eighth Route Army, he carries a head on both shoulders.

Shells fell on their side, and they were either killed or wounded, and no one was exempt.

looked at Li Hao and asked, "Captain Li, wouldn't it be too extravagant to fight like this?" ”

"More than 2,000 shells hit more than 1,000 good devils, if we let our superiors know, they will definitely scold us for being a loser."

Li Hao shook his head and replied: "It's not extravagant at all, as long as you can kill the little devil with the minimum casualties, no matter how many shells you use, it's worth it." ”

"There are more than 10,000 shells of all kinds hoarded in the arsenal, and it is too difficult to transport them all back, so it is better to use some of them here, reduce the pressure of transportation, and by the way, help us kill a few devils."

"In addition, our Eighth Route Army is notoriously poorly equipped and short of ammunition."

"The devil reinforcements definitely didn't expect that we would concentrate so much artillery against them, and they would be able to catch them off guard when the time came."

Head Zhou was relieved, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said excitedly: "Okay, let's fight like this." ”

"Just let me see what it's like to have more than 80 guns firing at the same time."

"I killed more than a thousand devils with shells."

Aoki Nakasa was the commander of the Japanese reinforcements, because of the continuous march, he did not rest well, his eyes were red, and he was still very tired even if he had a war horse.

Looking at the infantry around them, everyone was pale with a pale face, with black circles under their eyes, and numbly took steps forward.

In the past 20 hours or so, in addition to marching and eating, they only stopped to rest for two hours in between, and they could not hold it on.

At this moment, all the devils are using their minds to make the last insistence.

The only thing that made them happy was that they would be there after walking for more than two hours.

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly, a series of light machine-gun fire rang out at the front of the ranks, and then a cavalryman was seen charging towards him.

"Report to the sir, the forward troops are under attack...... "The cavalry reported from a distance of four or five meters.

Before the words of "boom ......" were finished, the sound of the horse's hooves of the cavalry galloping also sounded, followed by a series of gunshots.

Aoki Nakasa raised his binoculars and saw a cavalry passing by the flanks of the ranks, each armed with a horse rifle.

Looking at the cavalry on the flanks of the covering team, at least five cavalrymen were shot and fell to the ground.

"It's the cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army!" Aoki Nakasa scolded with a calm face.

The captain of the infantry brigade next to him frowned and proposed, "Sir, we must kill this cavalry." ”

"They have come and gone without a trace, and if they keep sneaking up next to the team, it will not only hit the morale of our troops, but also the losses of the troops will be very large."

Due to the lack of strength and logistics, the Chinese army rarely formed into a formed cavalry unit, let alone the Eighth Route Army, which was active in North China.

When the cavalry brigade was stationed in Zhangjiakou, the most important task it performed was to cooperate with the infantry and conduct reconnaissance for them, and it rarely encountered formed Chinese cavalry units.

Now that there is an opportunity to fight face-to-face with the Chinese cavalry, the captain will definitely not let it go.

Staring at the cavalry battalion that was running farther and farther, he immediately asked for battle: "Sir, if you send two cavalry squadrons to kill them, you will definitely be able to eat them, and it will not affect the speed of the troops' march." ”

"Yes!" Aoki Nakasa did not refuse.
