Chapter 260: Unexpected Situation Find the cause of defeat

The county seat of Lin'an County. North Courtyard of the Ding Family Compound. Main living room.

As soon as he saw Zhong Hua and Zhong Qiang, and looked at their figures and behaviors, Changgui knew that they both knew kung fu, and those who practiced kung fu would have this kind of eyesight. However, it is not known how high the level of kung fu is. Therefore, when Zhong Qiang plucked the onion dryly, jumped up, and kicked his right foot at the door in front of him like lightning, Changgui did not feel strange or panicked at all, he quickly took a small step back, and at the moment when Zhong Qiang's right foot kicked down in front of him, Changgui shot out like lightning, and pushed out the gravity of the right foot with the palm of his right hand aimed at Zhong Qiang's swift kick. Zhong Qiang's volley body instantly lost control, rolled and fell on the carpet in the middle of the living room. Zhong Qiang rolled over, and then a carp stood up, leaned forward with his center of gravity raised, his arms slightly bent and drooped, and put on a hand-to-hand combat posture. The action is smooth and lightweight.

Changgui looked at Zhong Qiang who was standing in the middle of the living room and smiled, then shook his head, then squatted with his knees bent, kicked his body into the air with his feet hard, climbed out from behind the sofa where Zhong Hua was sitting, rolled up with his palms on the ground and stood in front of Zhong Qiang, and said mockingly and provocatively:

"Zhong Qiang, you're doing a good job. Come on, I'll try your three-legged cat kung fu. After speaking, Changgui stood with his feet apart, his body turned slightly sideways, and his right arm reached out in front of his heart upward.

Although Zhong Hua, who was sitting on the sofa, was silent, he said in his heart: It's okay, let you Ding family two gentlemen, young and old, see the excellent real kung fu that Zhong Qiang, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, for many years, so that you can know what it is to know that there is heaven outside the sky and there are people in people.

When Zhong Qiang, who was young and vigorous, heard this, his irrepressible anger rose from his heart. Zhong Qiang stretched out his left hand to block Changgui's right palm first, and then hit out his right hand, stretched out his index finger and middle finger to poke Changgui's eyes, Changgui raised his head and took a step back to dodge. Zhong Qiang's five fingers were spread and his right hand was bent like an eagle's claws, he took a step forward and grabbed Changgui's throat, and Changgui took a step back to dodge. Zhong Qiang's eagle claw instantly turned into a fist and hit Changgui's heart, and Changgui's body leaned forward to the left and sideways to dodge a tiger's punch from Zhong Qiang. Zhong Qiang's move is as fast as the wind and as fast as electricity, tightly connected, and done in one go, which makes people's hearts beat and difficult to parry. Unfortunately, Zhong Qiang met Changgui, a master of martial arts, a profound martial artist, and one of the top ten disciples of Fang Jiren, who had never missed this three-style hand-to-hand combat style that he had used for many years, but Changgui easily dodged it, and a hand-to-hand combat battle began. I saw Changgui dodge Zhong Qiang's heavy punch sideways, and then turned his hand forward, his body stood upside down and picked up his right leg and smashed Zhong Qiang's head with his heel, Changgui fell to the ground and rolled behind Zhong Qiang, picked up his left leg and kicked out the sweeping leg on the ground, and swept the brainy Zhong Qiang to the ground. Zhong Qiang rolled over, and just when he had just stood up and not yet stood firmly, Changgui took a step forward and stretched out his palms like lightning to hit Zhong Qiang's back, and Zhong Qiang, who was caught off guard, staggered, and fell into Zhong Hua's arms sitting on the sofa more than two meters away. Changgui quickly and dexterously dodged Zhong Qiang's fierce offensive while also accumulating the potential energy to counterattack, and the same moves were closely connected and completed in one go, which dazzled and dizzy Ding Wenqian, Ding Ruxuan, and Qiu Yun who were watching.

"Thank you. Zhong Qiang, come again. Changgui said with his hands clenched into fists.

Zhong Qiang turned around and walked over, and Zhong Hua also got up and followed. Zhong Hua knew that if he didn't join forces with Zhong Qiang to beat Changgui down, the two of them would not be able to get out of the Ding family's compound.

"Huh? You two are going to go up together. Okay, that's easier for me. Come on, let's go to the courtyard and fight three hundred rounds, and compete against each other. Changgui said easily and confidently.

The three of them were about to leave the living room, when Uncle Gen walked into the living room quickly with a sweaty, panting, and anxious look. He walked to Ding Ruxuan's side, then leaned over and whispered a few words in Ding Ruxuan's ear.

"Huh? That's great. This is a rare opportunity not to be missed. Uncle Gen, you rush over immediately with Changgui and the people I dispatched, I don't care what method you use, you must arrest people back for me. No, please come back. Just go! ”

"Yes, young master, you're all right. Changgui, come with me. ”

Uncle Gen and Changgui hurriedly left the living room.

Ding Wenqian kindly beckoned Zhong Hua and Zhong Qiang to sit down and let them eat watermelon.

"Zhong Hua, Zhong Qiang, don't be in a hurry to leave first, you wait a while to meet a person I invited, maybe you should know, maybe this person is the group member you are looking for who has been separated for many days to participate in the operation together." Ding Ruxuan self-imagined and self-righteous analysis.

The county seat of Lin'an County. Fang's compound, the headquarters of the Japanese army. Meeting room in the east room of the front yard.

After lunch, Eiichi Nakagawa, Hanichiro Sohan, Nakasa Kawatani, Captain Oda, and others sat around a conference table with a group of dejected Japanese officers who had returned from defeat, and the conference table was spread out with a map of operations. Eiichi Nakagawa picked up the operational report and looked at it carefully word by word, and from time to time he opened the battle plan to compare and contrast. He confidently believed that the battle plan carefully drawn up on the basis of the reliable information sent by the Eighth Route Army's supplementary regiment and several secret intelligence agents lurking in Shuihe Village and the intelligence gathered by the special high school should be foolproof and should be able to succeed in a battle; even if the Eighth Route Army could not be completely annihilated, it could at least capture and control Shuihe Village, break up the supplementary regiment, cripple it, and finally rout and flee into the mountains. However, in this battle in the morning, why did the well-trained, well-armed, and well-equipped imperial army fight so badly and return with a great defeat? More than 500 first-line troops of four squadrons of one brigade and more than 500 second-line troops of four squadrons of one brigade were also dealt heavy blows by the Eighth Route in different areas, with nearly half of the officers killed in battle, more than half of the soldiers killed and wounded, and heavy losses of equipment and materials. If troops were not dispatched out of the city in time to reinforce them, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The detailed number of dead and wounded, as well as the specific loss of guns, ammunition, equipment and materials, are still under investigation and statistics.

Nakagawa Eiichi put down the combat report in his hand in frustration, and said with a gloomy face:

"Let's talk about the specific tactics of the eight roads in this battle in the morning."

"Hey!" Officer Nakasa, who was in his early forties and early forties, stood up, pointed to the map, and said:

"In accordance with the battle plan and the order of the wing commander, the artillery units of our imperial army launched intensive artillery bombardment from four directions at the designated position to the forward position of the Eighth Route outside Shuihe Village, and after the artillery fire was extended, the infantry unit simultaneously advanced forward to a distance of 150 meters from the Eighth Route position to stop the formation, and the tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry launched an intensive firing offensive together. The artillery and infantry of the Eighth Route fired at the same time, and the artillery of our imperial army immediately returned fire in a covering and devastating manner. After repeating this several times, the eight-way ground return fire was significantly weakened, the gunfire was sparse, and the artillery may have been completely destroyed by the artillery of our imperial army. Just as I was about to order the soldiers to charge, I was suddenly attacked by a sudden and violent attack from the cornfields on the left and right sides and from the eight roads behind, and the tanks and armored vehicles were blown up one after another. The estimated strength is a platoon of the eight routes, and the total strength of the four directions should be a company. These eight-way roads are very cunning and extremely ferocious, they hide in groups of three or two in cornfields, covering each other to move quickly, change formations, shoot cold guns, throw*, hit the commanders and machine gunners of our army first, leave with one shot, change places with one shot, and never come out to face to face with our army. Our army was caught off guard, the battle array was chaotic, surrounded on all sides, and suffered heavy casualties. Without the support of the powerful firepower of tanks and armored vehicles, our troops could only stubbornly return fire and retreat quickly. It is hoped that it will converge with the second-line troops and then reorganize the offensive. However, what was not expected was that the second-line troops were also suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route. Later I learned that the Eighth Route Artillery, immediately after the first return fire, shifted positions, shelled and destroyed our artillery. Alas! ”

"Well, I know, I know. You sit down first. Let's talk about the situation encountered by the second-line troops. Eiichi Nakagawa ordered.

"Hey!" The commander of the second line of the Japanese army stood up and said:

"The second-line troops of the Imperial Army under my command marched to the designated points in four directions. A squadron I followed to the southwest, and when it was about to join up with the first-line troops, it was first attacked by dense and heavy artillery fire from the Eighth Route, resulting in heavy casualties among our troops. At the same time, I also heard dense explosions in several other directions. After the shelling, when our troops had not yet recovered their strength, they were suddenly attacked from all sides in the cornfields on both sides of the main road and on the eight roads in front and behind the main road. The strength should be an integrated company, and all the weapons used are automatic weapons, and the combat effectiveness is strong and ferocious. Our army was caught off guard, the position was in great confusion, and the artillery completely lost its due role and suffered heavy losses at the same time. Tanks and armored vehicles were blown up one after another. The Eighth Route hid in the cornfield and did not come out, so that our troops lost the main direction of the attack. The sparrow warfare and guerrilla warfare on the Eighth Route were greatly powerful. ”

"Huh? Sparrow Wars? What is the tactic of sparrow warfare? Will it be so powerful? Captain Oda asked, confused.

"Zong Hanjun, please explain what the Sparrow War of the Eight Roads is." Eiichi Nakagawa said.

"Hi. The Eight Ways of Sparrow Warfare are familiar with the usual and effective tactical tactics, and are especially suitable for use in the dense woods of the plains and in the corn fields and sorghum fields where more than one person is about to mature and be harvested. The combat mode of sparrow warfare is similar to the state of sparrow gathering and scattering when foraging and flying, sometimes east and sometimes west, coupled with the characteristics of small target, fast speed, coming and going without a trace, small size, and no small ability, it has become a favorable form of guerrilla warfare for the Eighth Route to resist our imperial army. I have fought against the Eighth Route for many years, and I have fought against the Sparrow War many times, but I have never found an effective solution. Ladies and gentlemen, you must be fully prepared and cautious in advance when fighting the Eighth Route in the future. Zong Hanichiro explained and then said admonishingly.

Syllable! Nakagawa Eiichi, who was raised with a raised brow and an angry face, stood up angrily, pulled out his right hand and slapped it heavily on the conference table. All the officers who had joined the battle in the morning were terrified and terrified. Captain Nakagawa, is this going to be held accountable for the defeat? Should they be summarily executed immediately? Hahaha— Suddenly, Eichi Nakagawa's face changed, and he laughed wildly on his back. Everyone felt their scalps tingle and their hearts twitch when they heard the laughter, as if death was approaching.
