Thousands of people entered the mountains, and no matter how well they were hidden, they would leave some traces.

The Midvale United searched the side of the mountain for less than two hours before making a discovery.

"Sir, we have found a total of three traces of entering the mountain, all of which have just been left behind." One of the squadron leaders in charge of reconnaissance ran over and reported.

Nakatani Daisa's brows immediately twisted, he didn't expect to encounter such a problem from the beginning.

Three lines, there is a good chance that two of them are fake, and only one is true. The troops of the Eighth Route Army entered the mountains and set up suspicious formations, deliberately confusing themselves with several routes. If you choose the wrong one, you will definitely get farther and farther away from the Eighth Route Army in the mountains, and it will definitely be more difficult to find them again.

Of course, it is also possible that all three lines are true.

The Eighth Route Army was familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and it was completely possible to divide its troops and hide in the mountains.

If you are the commander of the Eighth Route Army, you will also do this, which can greatly reduce the chance of the troops being exposed, and can also avoid the troops in the mountains being wiped out.

In the words of the Chinese, eggs cannot be put in one basket.

In this case, he will definitely have to divide his troops.

In front of you is a big mountain, not a plain, and the risk after dividing the army is greater than that of the plain.

The two armies are separated by five kilometers in a straight line, which seems to be very close, and it may not be possible to meet in two hours when they actually walk.

If one unit is attacked, the other forces will certainly not be able to reinforce the battlefield in time.

Of course, risk also means great gains.

He doesn't divide his troops, he only pursues and kills the Eighth Route Army in the mountains, and if he is lucky, he can catch the Japanese puppet army all the way. If you're unlucky, you're likely to leave empty-handed.

By the time they finished chasing one line and turned around to pursue the other routes, those Eighth Route Army had already hidden in the mountains, and their tracks had slowly disappeared with the passage of time, and it must have been very difficult to find them again.

It's different with the division of troops, it doesn't matter if the garrison regiment is in doubt or not.

The three route troops marched together, and they would definitely be able to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the mountains.

"Divide the troops......" Nakatani Osa ordered very seriously.

The chief of staff of the wing immediately reminded: "Sir, the risk of dividing our troops in the mountains is greater than that outside the mountains, please think twice." ”

Nakatani Osa raised his hand and interrupted, "I've already thought about this. ”

"According to intelligence, the main forces of the garrison regiment are outside the mountain."

"There are only a small number of guard units in the mountains, the rest are wounded, logistics organs, arsenal workers, and the combat effectiveness is very poor."

"Even if we divide our troops into three ways, the enemy should not try to destroy us through various breakthroughs, because they don't have that strength."

"So it's definitely okay in terms of security."

"Listen to my orders, the troops will divide their troops into the mountains now, follow the trails left by the Eighth Route Army, find them, and destroy them."

When Li Hao led the team to the outside of the mountain, the Japanese puppet army had already entered the mountain.

The trails they left behind are particularly obvious and can be seen at a glance without the need for reconnaissance and search.

"Regiment commander, what should I do, the Japanese soldiers are divided into three routes, and we only have two reinforced companies, and the strength seems to be a little insufficient." Zhang Yun, commander of the second battalion, reminded.

"Remember the batch of mines that the arsenal sent a few days ago?" Li Hao thought for a moment and asked.

"Remember!" Zhang Yun replied.

"Those mines are so weird, they're a little bigger than a grenade, it's the first time I've seen such a small mine."

Li Hao explained: "That's what I asked the arsenal to make and use when fighting mountain warfare with little devils." ”

"Remember how we used grenades to lay out tricks for devils? This kind of mine we used at the time with grenades. ”

"It's just a little more powerful, and then change the delayed detonation of the grenade to a timed detonation."

"I asked the commissar to prepare some at a secret arsenal nearby."

"Zhang Yun, you will bring people over now, a soldier will lead three, and then divide the troops into two ways to deal with the little devils on the left and in the middle, and drag them in the forest."

"The mobile battalion will follow me, and each person will lead three new mines to deal with the Japanese puppet army on the right."

"Leave two people here to wait for the chief of staff, and after he arrives, the remaining reinforcement company of the third battalion will directly deal with the Japanese puppet army in the middle lane, and use new mines to add guerrilla warfare and movement warfare that we are good at, and drag them down."

"The remaining reinforced companies of the second battalion are all going to deal with the Japanese puppet army on the left."

"The chief of staff will take the others to the right to join me and deal with the little devils there."

"Since the little devil gives us various opportunities to break through, then we will take advantage of it, first eat the Japanese puppet army on the right, and then go to kill him on the two Japanese puppet army."

The mountains of North China are completely different from those in the South.

The mountains in the south are full of numbers, but the north is different.

Many of the mountains are barren mountains, and when you sweep them over, there are only some low bushes left except for the rocks that are full of them, and the trees are all small patches or a few scattered, and very few of them are covered by trees.

This kind of terrain and devils fight mountain warfare, both good and bad.

The advantage is that the field of vision is wide, which is conducive to the light and heavy machine guns to give full play to their firepower, and grenades and mines can also give full play to their power.

The disadvantage is that it is inconvenient for Tibetans, unless there are large forests and bushes, otherwise a main force cannot even hide.

There is a reinforced platoon of the Eighth Route Army that is active around the little devils in the middle lane.

In order to conceal and hide, everyone dispersed in squads.

Zhang Yun, the commander of the second battalion, personally led a squad to fight against the devils.

"There's a mine here." Seeing that the roadside was full of scattered broken stones, Zhang Yun decisively ordered.

Compared to grenades, the new mines are simpler to arrange.

A fist-sized mine is pressed with a stone, a thin yellow line that is the same color as the weeds hangs the mine hook, and a fixed point is tied to the other end of the thin line, which is straightened, and a mine is arranged.

Pulling a few handfuls of withered yellow thatch from both sides of the mountain road to cover the thin line, no matter how big the eyes of the little devils passing by, they couldn't find anything abnormal.

"It's set!" A warrior said.

After everyone had left, the warrior carefully unplugged the mine safety and retreated together.

"Boom ......" "Horn Horn Horn...... Dadada......"

The explosion rang out, along with a string of gunshots, including 38 large covers and light machine guns.

Under the cover of explosions, these gunshots were not only inconspicuous, but even a little insignificant, and many devils in the forward squadron did not notice.

"Retreat, retreat before the devils can react, we won't be able to retreat when they react!" The battalion commander reminded him, grabbed his rifle and retreated.

"Dada...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

The devils began to fight back, light machine guns, rifles, heavy machine guns, strafing the position where the gun had just been fired.

The devils of the two squads, with rifles in their hands, bent over, flanked the battlefield from both flanks under the cover of the terrain.
