Chapter 831: Arrogant Capital (First Update!) )

"Da Da Da ......"

The captain marched with the main force, and as soon as he reached the gate of the garrison, the gunfire rang out, and it was very dense, and at least two crooked handles were fired together.

The captain reacted quickly, immediately climbed a section of the earthen wall next to him, raised his binoculars and looked at the location of the gun.

More than a dozen figures of the Eighth Route Army were quickly found by him.

Ambushed in the middle of the mountainside less than 200 meters from the forward, equipped with two crooked handles, bullets fired at the forward troops like money.

The captain frowned, and then said to himself excitedly.

"The Eighth Route Army, which attacked us yesterday, hid in the woods, hit and run, and disappeared directly into the forest without a trace, and the heavy machine guns and mortars we were equipped with could not participate in the battle at all."

"It's strange today, as soon as we set off, we ran into an Eighth Route Army hiding on the bald mountain, and there are no forests around, is God starting to stand on our side."

"The Eighth Route Army hid in those bushes and cracks in the stones, and no one could find him without showing his head."

"But as soon as we show our heads, we are completely exposed, and there is nowhere to run."

"This is fat meat delivered to the mouth, and if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing."

The more he talked, the more excited the captain became, and then he didn't put down his binoculars, stared at the battlefield and began to give orders.

"The vanguard troops will attack at once, and I will kill them."

"The artillery and heavy machine gun squadrons each draw out a squad to reinforce the forward troops."

"This is the first battle of the day, although there are few enemies and the results are not big, but the omen is good, so we must win."

As soon as the forward troops were dispatched, the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside began to retreat.

"Da Da Da ......"

Fortunately, at this time the heavy machine gun fired.

Three heavy machine guns strafed the mountainside, and the bullets fired by the attacking troops quickly intertwined a fire net above the head of the Eighth Route Army.

The two Eighth Route Army, which rushed to the front, were shot on the spot and fell to the ground.

The Eighth Route Army behind had no choice but to slow down.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

At this time, the long-lost artillery finally moved, and three rounds of shells with eyes were accurately smashed around the remaining Eighth Route Army.

Bullets whizzed overhead, shells rained down, and fragments from the explosion flew everywhere like scattered flowers.

The more than 10 Eighth Route Army, which had already slowed down, could not stop, and lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, motionless.

Victory was just around the corner, and the captain's eyes had begun to glow, and he continued to order: "The vanguard troops press up, surround them for me, and eat them!" ”

"Da Da Da ......"

Accidents ensued.

A string of bullets also flew out more than 100 meters away from the hiding place of the Eighth Route Army just now, just hitting the forward troops who were preparing to outflank them in a roundabout way.

"How come there is still the Eighth Route Army, could it be that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has been killed?" The adjutant exclaimed, puzzled.

The captain thought for a moment and replied: "It must be that they know that we are going to take the people as hostages today and force them to come out and fight with us." In order to avoid casualties among the common people, they took the initiative to stand up and fight us. ”

The adjutant immediately complimented: "Sir, it must be so." ”

"The Eighth Route Army suffered a big loss in the matter of hostages last night, and it is impossible to make the same mistake a second time. Only by taking the initiative to stand up and fight a decisive battle with us can we prevent the people from being held hostage by us and keep the hearts of the people. ”

The captain's serious face smiled again, and he exclaimed excitedly, "If that's the case, we'll just save trouble." There is no need to march more than ten kilometers to capture hostages, and then force the Eighth Route Army to show up by killing people, do things that insult the reputation of the imperial army, and directly fight them here. ”

"Order the third squadron to go up to one more squad and eat those Eighth Route Army that have just emerged."

"Artillery, heavy machine gun squadrons, come out with half of the fire to suppress them, don't let them run."

"There are no forests except bushes and stones, as long as our suppressive fire is strong enough, we can definitely hold them back, so that they can't move."

On the high ground less than five hundred meters from the battlefield, several figures lurked in the middle of the bushes, covered with thatch, and blended in with their surroundings, so that they could not be spotted even if they walked around.

If you look closely, you will find that several people are not hiding in the bushes casually, but in a semi-encirclement with almost no loopholes.

In the middle of the semi-encirclement were two people, the commander of the second battalion and the instructor.

"Battalion commander, the second position has already been fought, and the Japanese army has divided half of its heavy firepower to suppress them, and has also transferred an infantry squad to attack." The instructor reminded, his face full of worry.

The battle plan in front of him was discussed by him and the battalion commander after thinking about it for half a night.

In addition to this style of play, they can't think of any other way to hold back the devils and prevent them from harming the common people.

But war means death.

Especially if you don't have any advantage on your side, take the initiative to attack the devils.

Both positions had only one reinforced squad, but the opponent had two infantry squads, a mortar squadron and a heavy machine-gun squadron.

Under the strong offensive firepower, even if the two reinforced squads could finally be withdrawn, they would suffer heavy casualties.

Battalion commander Zhang Yun saw his partner's concern, but he couldn't think of any words to comfort him.

As soon as his eyebrows furrowed, he began to give orders: "Position No. 3, position No. 4, fire together, relieve the pressure on the troops on position No. 1 and No. 2, and then cover the retreat alternately." ”

"If the devils pursue, the troops withdrawn from position No. 1 and No. 2 are responsible for luring the enemy and bringing them deep into the mountains."

"If you can eliminate it, you will eliminate it, and if you can't eliminate it, you will take them around the fat and drag them thin, and the thin ones will be dragged to death."

"The troops lurking on the No. 5 or 6 positions also opened fire, taking advantage of the fact that the devils' attention was focused on the east side of the road, they suddenly opened fire and launched an attack from the west side of the road. If there are few chasing soldiers, they will be eaten directly, and if there are many chasing soldiers, it is still the old way, and they will be brought into the forest to go around in circles. ”

"Da Da Da ......"

Positions No. 3 and No. 4 opened fire at the same time, and the sudden firepower caught the devil attacking troops by surprise.

The captain was blindfolded, but his face was soon covered with excitement.

The more Eighth Route Army participated in the battle, the more it proved that its judgment just now was correct.

In order to prevent the imperial army from repeating its old tricks and threatening them as hostages, these loaches as cunning Eighth Route Army had to take the initiative to stand up and fight a decisive battle with the imperial army.

This is exactly what the captain dreams of.

Although the opponent's attack methods are endless, he is not afraid at all.

The superiority in troops, the superiority in firepower, is all on their own side.

Even if the Eighth Route Army used any conspiracy and trickery, it could only be quick for a while and achieve a short-term victory.

Once you react and give full play to the superiority in strength and firepower in your hand, the final winner will definitely be yourself.

The more the captain thought about it, the happier he became, but his mind was not idle, he was running rapidly, thinking about how to break the ground.

Soon the captain had an idea in his head.

"The remaining two squads of the third squadron pressed up, and the artillery and heavy machine gun squadrons were divided into four, suppressing these outcropping Eighth Route Corps with firepower, dragging them down, and not letting them escape."

"Sir, our firepower is too scattered, and the Eighth Route Army that is still alive on the mountainside has to run." The adjutant suddenly reminded.

The captain suddenly realized and shouted: "I understand, the reason why the Eighth Route Army is lurking in different positions in four ways to sneak attack us is to disperse our firepower. ”

"But they forgot that in addition to our superiority in firepower, we also have superiority in troops."

"It's daytime, the nearby mountains are all bald mountains, and the Eighth Route Army has no way to hide, even if they take us to fight guerrillas in the mountains, we are not afraid."

"Order four squads to chase the mountain and destroy them at all costs."

"The garrison and the Imperial Army that cooperate with our operation must also act."

"The garrison drew four squads, and the Imperial Association Army sent out four companies to reinforce our four-way offensive troops."

"I want to give full play to our superiority in troops, even if I fight to consume them, I will use them all up."

The attacking troops reacted quickly, assembled in less than five minutes, and then marched to the battlefield.

The captain held the binoculars, his eyes never left the battlefield, and the corners of his mouth were always smiling.

He clearly saw that the Eighth Route Army successfully retreated in the end with less than fifty people.

And at the beginning of the firefight, he remembered very clearly, at least two light machine guns were set up in each lurking position.

With the addition of riflemen, two infantry squads and twenty Eighth Route Corps must be indispensable.

This means that in the brief exchange of fire just now, the Imperial Army has already killed more than half of them.

As long as the Imperial Army continues to work hard and kills them in the next pursuit, then the battle itself will be won.

Killing nearly one hundred and eight Route Army in one battle is not only a good start, but also a combat achievement that can be done.

"Da Da Da ......"

A series of gunshots suddenly rang out behind the captain, interrupting his sweet dream.

"Sir, hidden, it's a heavy machine gun!" The guard shouted loudly, and the hungry wolf pounced on him, knocking the captain to the ground.

Then I heard a string of bullets whizzing overhead.

The captain was frightened into a cold sweat and scolded loudly: "Eight Grid Yalu, we were fooled, and behind us is the main force of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise we will not be equipped with heavy machine guns." ”

"This is a typical way of attacking from the east to the west, first attacking us with a small force, forcing us to divide our forces, and then the main force will attack us again and break us individually."

"However, these Eighth Route Army also underestimate us too much."

"We have the advantage of troops, even if we divide the troops, the remaining troops will be enough to deal with them."

"All the troops will attack together, and they must eat the main force of the Eighth Route Army behind us."

"Also, contact the aviation corps, and immediately send a plane to our side, we have already glued the main force of the Eighth Route Army and are preparing for a decisive battle. In order to reduce troop casualties, air support may be required at any time. ”

"Heavy machine guns, mortar cover, infantry assault."

"The other side is armed with two heavy machine guns, as well as four or five light machine guns, and the strength is at least one company."
