General Iida was a brigade commander, and all his brigades and regiments participated in the sweep, and his superiors also equipped him with a number of auxiliary units, and he had a lot of opinions about using field regiments to besiege the local troops of the Chinese Eighth Route Army.

He looked down on the strength of the Eighth Route Army, especially the small units of armed workers and guerrillas in the guerrilla areas.

A school of small fish and shrimp.

He set up his headquarters in a city far away and commanded it remotely.

His intention was to lead the field brigade to the south to attack the Yellow River Bridge, break the Yellow River defense line of the Chinese army in one fell swoop, break into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and shoot mosquitoes with artillery, which was one of his complaints.

Now, he was calm and observed, observing the Black Wolf's stronghold.

"It's so impressive that those stone fortifications can resist the bombardment of aerial bombs, no, I think, the enemy must have made full use of the underground fortifications, the underground tunnels, so that they can easily avoid the bombardment and shelling of our troops. So, the only tactic is a three-dimensional attack, attacking with artillery and infantry, so that the enemy is scrambling and unable to resist. ”

Beside him, there were several officers, one of whom was Dowling Dazuo, the captain of the local garrison, equivalent to the rank of a wing.

In this sweep, with Iida's field brigade as the core and the local security force of Daolin Dazuo as the auxiliary, it was planned to completely wipe out this area, the mountainous area southeast of Taihang Mountain, and the nearby area of about 5,000 square kilometers.

The Japanese troops that were completely annihilated twice by Yang Chaoran's troops belonged to the Daolin garrison, and these garrisons, due to their long-term separation from large-scale field battles, their fighting spirit and tactical literacy have declined.

"Your Excellency General, it seems that in our encirclement, there must be an enemy's size troops and main forces!" Dowling Dazuo complimented.

General Iida nodded: "Being able to resist the blows of our aerial bombs and heavy artillery shows that they are not ordinary people, there must be a lot of them, and their tactical ability is essential, I estimate that they are commanded by a regiment commander or brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army, and he has experience in large-scale battles, at least, he has studied military affairs in the Soviet Union or Europe and the United States, and is a powerful officer, well, I am now, more and more inclined to it, he is a brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army, and even a special expert sent by the headquarters, He was the first person to dare us to engage in positional warfare and stronghold warfare in this area! ”

Dowling Dazuo didn't agree too much, "Maybe the enemy's commander is not very good, but they are very numerous, and in such a mountain battle, they have the advantage of geography and people, I estimate that if they can destroy four infantry or cavalry artillery squadrons of our army, the enemy must have more than 3,000 people, and they dare to meet it." ”

General Iida is determined to win!

He mobilized 25 tanks, including 15 tanks of 15 to 20 tons of main battle tanks, which is quite a powerful treasure, and an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, equipped with all the tank elites, have been mobilized.

The heavy artillery brigade has 6 field heavy guns of caliber of more than 105 mm, more than 20 mountain guns of various kinds, and 6 infantry guns, including curved guns and direct guns.

Originally, these heavy artillery units were not dealing with Yang Chaoran, but came out casually!

It's true.

After launching the sweep, he wanted the heavy artillery units to move so that they would not be unskilled and unable to support a possible southward crossing of the river.

A formal military training was suddenly put to practical use.

Two infantry brigades, close to 3,000 people, plus more than 3,000 people in the teams of the two puppet armies, and other auxiliary surrounds of the outside line personnel of a garrison brigade, he mobilized a total of more than 7,000 troops to besiege the Black Wolf Pass stronghold.

At the moment of the start of the war, a certain unit of the Eighth Route Army, the command headquarters, was also wondering, and a regiment commander was suspicious: "We have received information from the inside line, saying that the Japanese army has gathered in the southwest on a large scale in the past few days, and there have been large-scale battles there and in the small acid forest area, and the Japanese army has suffered heavy losses. ”

The chief of staff earnestly inquired about some information: "Comrade regiment commander, no, the regular troops above the main company level of our army have avoided the sharp edge of the enemy's sweep and have moved to the outer line to fight. ”

Another cadre said: "Could it be that there is a mistake in intelligence? What kind of troops can hit the enemy three times in two days? The target of the blow is still the Japanese troops? ”

Some people speculated that it was the main force of the column of the guerrillas of the national army, and everyone shook their heads and laughed.

was discussing, and received an order from their superiors, asking them to immediately respond to the area at the southeast foot of Taihang Mountain.

"It's strange that it's a guerrilla? A guerrilla that I had never heard of before? What kind of joint guerrilla force was adapted from that Tanghe guerrilla, the Black Wolf Mouth Guerrilla, what the hell is going on? ”

When the commanders of both sides were keeping an eye on the Black Wolf Pass stronghold, the Japanese heavy artillery captain Dong Ming Zhifang was also wondering, because, under the heavy artillery bombardment, there were still personnel activities in the Black Wolf Pass stronghold?

Can't they beat the goblins?

The frequency of fire of heavy artillery is not high, and some heavy artillery can fire five rounds a minute, which is the limit.

It's ridiculous to use heavy artillery to hit a small stronghold.

Yang Chaoran finally thought of a way.

He ordered that all personnel must be well concealed, that they must wait until the enemy is within 50 meters before they can open fire on the enemy, and that they must take the initiative to attack the enemy, and that they must chase and attack the enemy fiercely.

In this way, we can avoid the enemy's artillery from being eliminated at a fixed point and ensure our own safety.

His tactical intentions were quickly communicated to the entire team.

Every member of the team is determined to die.

Even those mountain people who were responsible for transporting arms from the south, and by the way, made a fortune from the devils, and picked up some shoes and clothes, were also afraid.

A team member asked him: "You look very good, are you really not afraid?" ”

He smiled indifferently: "What a good life?" Dead is dead! ”

Some of the team members still didn't want to die, but knowing that the enemy was strong and surrounded by all of them, they gave up.

"Anyway, there are so many people with you, if you die, you will die, others are not afraid, and we can't be afraid. Or, make people laugh. ”

Yang Chaoran's troops were well hidden and ready for battle.

A large number of mountains, ravines, bushes, jujube trees, persimmon trees, and thorns provide a good shelter for the view.

The Japanese army advanced in great stride.

Yang Chaoran and the others waited.

He had mixed feelings.

I have been tossing in this world for so long, and this time, I can't stand it.

It's nothing, death is death, just a sweet dream, floating and illusory.

I suddenly thought of many people, the people and things in the Xiaoyangzhuang Martial Arts Team, and the many martial arts team members who sacrificed.

Da Niu, Lao Hai, Captain Wang, Instructor Li, Company Commander Ye of the Eighth Route Army in Nanshankou, Li Yunlong, etc., as well as the people here, especially Su Tengyun and Su Chenxi, Su Xiaoyue, the two girls are beauties with more than nine points, and they are in a hurry.

There is also the military commander agent Qicai, who infiltrated the bandits, was deliberately captured by the Japanese puppet army, and mixed into the traitor mayor's house, stigmatized as the ninth aunt, and now, in his own army, he is so obsessed with himself.

Well, don't think about it, get ready to fight!
