On the mountain road to the arsenal, dense devils are like locusts, slowly advancing along the winding mountain road.

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

The familiar sound of explosions and gunshots rang out at the front of the troops, reaching the ears of Nakatani Osa behind them, and it did not affect his good mood in the slightest.

Compared to the great merit of destroying the arsenal of the garrison regiment, these losses along the way are nothing at all.

"The troops continue to pick up speed and ignore these sneak attacks." Nakatani Osa looked up and ordered.

Seeing that the chief of staff had a heartache on his face and hesitated to speak, Nakatani Osa did not give him a chance to speak at all, and continued: "The Eighth Route Army, which attacked us, must be trying to hold us back and buy time for the transfer of their arsenals. The more they sneak up on us, and the more often they attack, the more anxious they are. At this time, we must speed up even more, rush to the arsenal at any cost, and launch a direct attack without giving them the opportunity to transfer equipment. ”

"You know, if you destroy this arsenal, the Eighth Route Army will lose its weapons to help, and the guns in their hands will also turn into scrap metal because there are no bullets."

"In the future, when the imperial army fights them again, the pressure will be much less, and the casualties will be greatly reduced."

"So we have to take a long-term view, and don't be imprisoned by this casualty in front of us."

"Today we have killed one imperial army here, and in the future when we fight the Eighth Route Army, we will lose several imperial soldiers."

The communications staff officer hurriedly ran over and interrupted: "Sir, the division headquarters is in an emergency. ”

"The air force has reported that the arsenal we are going to attack is being moved, and the air force has sent planes to bomb and harass them to prevent them from moving."

"The division commander asked us to continue to speed up, and we must arrive at our destination after dawn tomorrow to launch an attack on the arsenal."

The heartache expression on the chief of staff's face was immediately covered with admiration, and he looked at Nakatani Osa and said with a flattering face: "Sir Yingming, your judgment is right. ”

"Judging from the telegram from the division commander, in order to keep the arsenal, the garrison regiment is indeed in a hurry."

"I'll give the order now that the troops continue to speed up their march."

Nakatani Osa nodded and ordered: "Send all the remaining Imperial Allied troops to the forward troops, and let them detonate mines at the front of the troops to reduce the casualties of the Imperial Army." ”

On a small road three kilometers away from the Japanese army, more than 1,000 people of the garrison regiment were hurrying on the march.

Their goal is also the arsenal.

Because of their familiarity with the terrain in the mountains, the troops overtook the Nakatani Wing in only half a day.

The regiment commander and the political commissar sent an urgent telegram: "The Japanese army dispatched a large number of planes to bomb the arsenal, in order to prevent accidents, should you order the arsenal to be transferred immediately?" ”

"No need to ......," Li Hao replied firmly.

"The arsenal is all produced in the cave, and unless the little devil sends out a plane to flatten a few mountains, it is impossible to threaten the safety of the arsenal."

"Call back to the political commissar, don't worry about the safety of the arsenal, the troops continue to put on a posture for the Japanese army that we want to transfer, and attract more little devil planes to bomb the arsenal."

"One aerial bomb can send us more than 100 catties of scrap iron, and if the Japanese drop hundreds of bombs, it will be tens of thousands of catties of scrap iron. When the battle is over, collect these scrap metals, and the arsenal can make tens of thousands more grenades. ”

"As for the little devils Midvale United, I guarantee they don't have a chance to attack the arsenal."

Niutouling, three kilometers away from the arsenal, was the only way for the Japanese army to enter the arsenal.

Li Hao led his troops to arrive here at three o'clock in the afternoon.

"The troops stop advancing!" Li Hao ordered suddenly, and then looked at Hong Linfeng and asked.

"Chief of Staff, how far is the little devil from here."

"An hour and a half away." Hong Linfeng thought for a moment and answered.

Li Hao nodded, and said with a serious face: "That is, I arrived here at almost half past four to five o'clock, and now it is dark early, and the terrain here is complicated, and there will definitely be no planes to escort them at five o'clock." ”

"I've decided to close the net here."

Niutouling is in front of the arsenal, surrounded by rolling mountains, which are connected with Niutouling and form a large circle.

Looking down from the air, this place is like a big cauldron, the mountain road first enters from the edge of the pot on one side, goes downhill, then passes through the bottom of the pot, and finally slowly climbs up the edge of the pot on the other side, and climbs over the Niutouling.

"Regiment commander, this is indeed a natural ambush battlefield, but there are too many devils, and our troops are a little more than half of theirs, and I'm afraid we won't be able to swallow them in one bite."

Li Hao shook his head and replied: "You don't have to swallow it in one bite to close the net here, we can divide it into several bites and eat up the remaining little devils little by little." ”

"Order the independent battalion to immediately ascend Niutouling, rely on the terrain to establish a blocking position, block the little devils head-on, and put on a posture of defending Niutouling and defending the arsenal."

"But one thing to keep in mind is that you don't have any fire support other than two small-caliber mortars and two heavy machine guns attached to each company."

"The second battalion lurks at the entrance to this cauldron."

"After the Midvale United team is blocked by the independent battalion, they will definitely choose to camp here."

"All you need to do is block the entrance, and don't let the little devils run through this cauldron under our feet."

"You must have reached the final stage of collecting the net when you entered the war, so you can use all the heavy weapons you are equipped with."

"The rest of the troops will rest in place and wait until it gets dark before they move."

As soon as they reached the foot of Niutouling Mountain, the Middle Valley United stopped.

"Sir, the forward troops report that there is a blocking position of the Eighth Route Army on the mountain ridge ahead."

Nakatani Osa raised his binoculars and glanced at the surrounding terrain and judged, "The terrain here is conspicuous, and if you want to enter the arsenal, you must take down the mountain range in front of you." ”

"So this should be the first line of defense for the garrison to defend the arsenal."

"Order the third brigade, concentrate fire, and take the mountain within half an hour."

"After crossing the mountain range, the troops will camp and rest, and then launch a direct attack on the arsenal early tomorrow morning."

The chief of staff suddenly reminded: "Sir, the terrain here is too dangerous, and we are surrounded by mountains, should you send troops to guard around to prevent the Eighth Route Army from hiding ambushes in these mountains." ”

"There's no need to waste time on these things." Nakatani Osa shook his head and refused.

"The division commander made it very clear on the telegram that the main force of the garrison regiment had already left the mountain, and all we needed to face was some guard troops."

"The daytime battle also proves this, if the main force of the garrison is still there, it will never make it so easy for us to attack their arsenal."

"It's very difficult for the guards to stop us, and it's even more impossible to ambush us."

"If I'm not mistaken, they must have concentrated all their small troops on the hill in front of them, blocked us head-on, and bought time for the transfer of the arsenal."

The chief of staff faintly felt a hint of unease, but could not find a reason to refute it, so he could only nod his head in approval.

The battle soon began, and shells of various calibers smashed up the hill like money, and the flames were splashed everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled.

Fighters are constantly being blown up into the sky because they are hit by shells at close range......
