The chief of staff of the Japanese army was in a bad mood.

Half an hour after leaving Datong City, it began to be attacked.

Mines, sneak attacks, blockades...... There is no end to the variety of attack methods.

Although the casualties of the troops were not large, the pace of the march was much slower.

What could have been walked in two hours took two and a half hours.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it's five o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still half an hour to cover our plane to return." A captain ran over to remind.

"Map ......" the chief of staff was very unhappy with the order.

Finding the current location of the troops, and then taking a look at the location of the Eighth Route Army's hidden equipment, the mood is even worse

Would love to curse, but the plane wouldn't stay at the risk of crashing because he got angry.

After thinking for a moment, the order: "Let's go!" ”

"Order the reconnaissance troops to expand the search area, and check every kilometer on both sides of the highway to ensure that there is no pocket formation of the Eighth Route Army in front of us."

"We keep going, but at a faster pace."

"If you encounter another sneak attack from the enemy, ignore them and go straight ahead."

"As long as we can destroy the equipment stolen by the Eighth Route Army and eliminate the Eighth Route Army hiding there, we can't lose this loss along the way."

"Strive to get to the battlefield at half past six, attack when you arrive, and end the battle before dark."

"Also, immediately contact the Imperial Army strongholds around the target, and all troops will be on full alert. Under the condition of ensuring the security of the stronghold and station, all the surplus troops were sent to march to the battlefield in a hurry. ”

"There are a lot of Eighth Route Army that we are going to attack, and there must be a lot of fish that have slipped through the net after a surprise attack."

"Their job is to get rid of these fish that slipped through the net."

"The speed at which the Eighth Route Army develops its troops is too fast, and the more people they kill today, the less likely they are to resurrect in the future."

"If there is a radio station in the base, use the radio to contact us, and if there is no radio station, send someone to give orders."

On Chentouling, the three battalions of the garrison regiment, except for the guard posts, infantrymen, gunners, and machine gunners, were all holding sapper shovels to repair the fortifications.

Every fighter knows that there is a tough battle ahead of everyone.

The stronger the fortifications, the greater the chances of the troops holding their positions, and the smaller the casualties for everyone.

Battalion Commander Tan Weiqi stood at the commanding heights of Chentouling, while observing the fortifications that were slowly taking shape, while looking at the end of the road, nervous and anxious, silently thinking in his heart that the little devil could come later.

The reconnaissance platoon commander rushed up with a red face, and when he saw Tan Weiqi, he directly gasped and reported: "Battalion commander, the devil has arrived three kilometers away, and there is a reinforced squadron in the forward, searching all the way forward, the formation is scattered, and the vigilance is also high, although it is five hundred meters away from the main force, it is difficult to kill them through a surprise attack." ”

Tan Weiqi looked at his watch, his expression that was still nervous just now suddenly eased, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Instructor, you can help me remember it, after this battle, I will invite Commander Chen of the reconnaissance company to have a drink." ”

"Under normal circumstances, the devil should have arrived early, but it is five o'clock, and the plane can hold out until half past five and then retreat, which means that we will be bombed for nearly an hour."

"Now there is no need, the reconnaissance company helped us drag the devils for nearly an hour, and when they finished the last three kilometers, it was exactly half past five when they arrived here, and there was no condition for the plane to stay."

"Order the artillery to leave the position in ten minutes."

"The mortar squad directly under the company mounted the guns behind the position and approached to provide fire support. The artillery company arranged artillery positions five hundred meters behind the position. Mountain artillery, large-caliber mortars, ordinary mortars, arranged separately. ”

"The devil is equipped with two or three times more artillery than us, and it is definitely not an opponent to fight hard, if you want to win more with less, you must use tactics."

"The other troops waited for the devil striker to appear before entering the position."

The chief of staff of the Japanese army walked in the middle of the line, constantly urging everyone to hurry up.

Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire from the forward troops, which was very dense.

A few minutes later, a second lieutenant rushed over in a hurry: "Sir, deputy captain of the lowly forward squadron, we were blocked by the Eighth Route Army in Chentouling, and the opponent's firepower was very fierce, and we couldn't rush through." ”

"The Eighth Route Army wants a strong man to break his wrist!" The chief of staff quickly made a judgment.

"Knowing that our heavy troops are coming, we dare not move during the day, so we can only wait for it to get dark and move. At that time, we were killing them in their hiding place, and an encounter was inevitable. ”

"We have superiority in strength and firepower, and we can inflict heavy losses on them at the very least."

"In order to prevent this from happening, the strong men of the Eighth Route Army broke their wrists and sent a small force to block us here and buy time for the transfer of the main force."

"The whole army pressed up, dispatched all artillery to cover the attack of the troops, broke through the Chentouling blocking position in the shortest possible time, and then continued to advance."

"All the reconnaissance troops are dispatched to find out how many Eighth Route Army troops are on Chentouling and when they came, and confirm whether my judgment just now is true, so that we can attack more at ease."

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

Twenty-four mortars were erected in the shortest possible time, and before the chief of staff could give an order, they began to fire shells at Chentouling.

In less than two minutes, Chen Touling was completely enveloped in gunsmoke.

The reconnaissance unit was very fast, and the artillery bombardment was not over before it got the information that the chief of staff wanted.

"Sir, we captured two Chinese from the neighborhood."

"They confessed: The Eighth Route Army on the mountain has only been here for less than an hour, and there are about five or six hundred people."

"We reconnoitred the surrounding area by the way, and we found no enemy situation within a two-kilometer radius."

The chief of staff was completely relieved, and replied with a high-spirited face: "It seems that my judgment is right. ”

"The artillery will fight for another two minutes, and then two squadrons of the 2nd Infantry Brigade will attack together."

"The Imperial Association Army sent a main battalion to cooperate with the attack."

"Heavy machine guns provide fire cover, and I want to kill all the Eighth Route Army on the mountain in one assault."

The shelling was so fierce that Tan Weiqi was blown to ashes, not to mention ordinary soldiers.

The blocking positions were full of gaps blown out by shells, and the corpses of soldiers who had been blown out of the trenches were blown away......

"Anything that can still move will be up for me, the little devils are attacking!" The platoon commander shouted.

The body was covered with a thick layer of floating soil, and a large number of figures immediately appeared in the trenches where there was no movement just now.

The fighters gasped, spat out the dirt that had exploded into their mouths, slapped their uniforms, and got up from the trenches in a daze.

Tan Weiqi held the binoculars and looked ahead, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

The devil was too ruthless, and six or seven hundred people were dispatched for the first main attack.

The attacking team was densely packed, and it looked like a choppy wave, pressing towards the position with an unstoppable stance.

Behind the attacking troops, more than 20 heavy machine guns lined up, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at themselves like a forest, ready to shoot at any time.

Looking at their own troops on the blocking position, at least a hundred people were lost at a glance, and several light and heavy machine guns were also damaged.

Neither the strength nor the firepower were comparable to the attacking troops.

Although he was very worried, Tan Weiqi knew that as the battalion commander, no one in the whole battalion could lose confidence, but he couldn't.

Take a deep breath and order: "The troops are ready for battle, and they can only shoot when they hear the order." ”

"The artillery squads of each company shoot freely, use guerrilla tactics to attack the attacking troops, and kill as many devils as possible."

"The ordinary mortar platoon of the artillery company is on standby for the heavy machine gun position of the devil, the heavy mortar platoon is on standby for the artillery position of the devil, and the mountain artillery platoon is not moving."
