Chapter 1131: The Heart Pulls Out the Cold

Niu Er received an order to report the Japanese army's marching movements along the way, and to stop the Japanese army from sending a distress signal after the battle started at all costs.

Therefore, the signal corps and radio stations that were closely protected by this infantry brigade were the first targets of the special detachment, and they were much more important than Ryo Ikeda's.

When the observation post transmitted the information that the Japanese army had finally begun to move with the whole army and was about to enter the river valley at a trott, Liu Langchong, who had been looking at the future military god in front of him with a telescope, gave a thumbs up to express his admiration in his heart, which was like a surging river.

The cautiousness of the Japanese commander was beyond everyone's imagination, and under the premise that the 6,000 Japanese troops in front were ambushed and forced to send out a distress signal, he could still patiently reconnoiter all the way and slow down all the way. What's even more excessive is that the spearhead squad is not the squad level that the Japanese army is accustomed to, but up to an infantry squadron.

That almost means that if you want to set up an ambush, you can ambush a squadron, and 200 people will be enough for you to eat, and enough for you to eat for a while.

All right! That's not all, since passing through the town of Measuring Fish, this cargo has gone even further, every time he walks to a place that he thinks is dangerous, he will make the whole army stop, wait for the report of the squadron of sharp soldiers in front, and wait for everyone to be on fire.

The three infantry regiments, nearly 8,000 men, dressed in camouflage clothes made of branches and dry grass, hid in the mountains and forests more than 400 meters from the valley for at least an hour and a half, and at least an hour had passed before the estimated battle time had passed.

Seeing the 3,000 Japanese soldiers winding on the mountain road like a yellow dragon a few kilometers away stopped again, Liu Lang was on fire in his heart! It was the first time he had met a devil commander who was so afraid of death. Seeing that Major General Liangfu had a lot of heroism last month, knowing that the terrain of the first-line heavenly canyon in Qiqian Village was extremely dangerous, he still waved his hand with great pride, and more than 2,700 men and horses of most of the infantry wing marched in. When did the Imperial Japanese Army cowardly it!

It was also this Master Liu's long bull fork, after learning that the Japanese army was extremely cautious all the way, he made the decision to attack the Japanese soldiers in the valley first. The soldiers used were 800 strong battalions of the independent regiment, and the rest of the troops were not moving.

In fact, the so-called Zhuangding battalion of the independent regiment is also a supplementary battalion of the independent regiment, which is regarded as a second-line soldier, except for the two companies equipped with independent regimental equipment, the other two infantry companies are actually not called infantry companies, but infantry squadrons.

That's right, it was the Blue Army unit that made the regular soldiers of the Independent Regiment the most gnashing their teeth. Every time an infantry brigade-level 1100 people surround an infantry company and fight at most two infantry companies, and Liu Tuanzuo often reveals information to them, plus as long as they win, there will be rich rewards, and the blue army troops are riveting every time to beat the infantry companies with far fewer troops than them, without saving face at all, which is a sequence that the regular army hates the most.

And this time, they dispatched two infantry squadrons to fight with the regular army, all of which were Japanese-style, with 38 large covers, crutch machine guns, 92 heavy machine guns, and grenadiers.

Using these 800 people to fight a Japanese squadron, if nothing else, should also be a crushing battle.

It's just that such a dozen didn't alarm the main force of the Japanese army? With the urine of a Japanese commander who is not much bolder than sesame seeds, he must not be so frightened that he runs faster than a rabbit with an army of 3,000?

However, a few of you here are not stupid, and they somewhat understand the purpose of the future military god's trick of "scaring the grass and scaring the snake". Since you are afraid, let you clearly know the danger, and see if you dare to come.

From the perspective of human nature, the invisible danger is the most terrifying.

It's just that the idea is very good, but I don't know if it will scare the cowardly Japanese commander away, and everyone's hearts are actually still hanging. It is really this ambush battle that is related to the question of how to fight in the next few battles.

3,000 Japanese troops, almost the strength of an infantry wing, if they are let go back to Jingcheng County. Don't look at the more than 10,000 troops gathered here, if you want to capture it, you have to pay a sufficient price, not to mention that the future military god will not agree, even Liu Lang himself, I'm afraid he will have to revise the battle plan.

If it weren't for the fact that they had an absolute advantage in the terrain and were unprepared to attack them, the Japanese army was not paper-paste, and if they wanted to eat the infantry brigade of the Japanese army in the field, even if the firepower of the independent regiment could beat them, at least two divisions, the 129th Division and the 17th Division, would have to be summoned to him as helpers, so that they could dare to eat them with a ticket, and if the casualties were acceptable.

However, judging from the situation of the Japanese army beginning to accelerate its march through the river valley, the future military god's move to "scare the grass and scare the snake" was obviously successful. Shi Shiran, the commander of the Japanese army, plunged headlong into the encirclement.

It is worthy of breaking the tradition of using troops to ambush the future marshal of the Japanese invaders in the same place three times in a row! Liu Lang learned something that he couldn't learn in the classroom of the Command Academy.

"Deputy Commander Liu, send orders to all departments, the enemy army is coming, fight according to the pre-war deployment, those who are afraid of war, those who violate military orders, and those who secretly hide war spoils are all engaged in military law." In the face of Liu Lang's sincere praise, the future military god smiled faintly, put down the binoculars in his hand, and firmly issued a military order.

This may be the legendary general's wind!

"Yes!" Liu Lang stood upright like a small soldier, and then ran out of the command headquarters.

He was not only the deputy commander-in-chief of the entire battle, but also the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, who wanted to be on the front line.

The future military god and the future second-generation leader looked at Liu Lang like this, looked at each other and smiled, and their good impression of this colonel from the Sichuan army increased a lot again.

Especially Political Commissar Deng, the seven-trick exquisite heart is even more calculated. This young man, who is well versed in the general interests of the nation, is extremely intelligent, and more importantly, has a sense of closeness to the Red Army, and is definitely the kind of person who can be developed.

Even if he is as wise as him, I am afraid that the 26-year-old young man he values is actually a member of their camp. Moreover, I had a good conversation with that one.

Since they learned that the squadron had encountered the enemy, the Japanese army marched faster than expected. In total, more than 6 miles and 3,000 meters of river valley, the trotting Japanese advance ran in 18 minutes, and in full armament, it was almost a passing result of the 5-kilometer cross-country run of the independent regiment that took the training standards of the future red troops to train extremely strict.

Of course, this has something to do with the flatness of the river valley.

The valley floor here is a rocky beach, where no crops grow, only a few wild grasses grow sporadically, and the Gantao River, which is no more than two meters wide, flows north along the mountain, while the mountain road winds along the other side of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain. There was no hardship of going up and down the mountain, and the road was relatively wide, not only did the Japanese run very vigorously, but the two 94 armored vehicles at the head ran very flat with black smoke.

The Japanese commander even opened the roof hatch while looking around vigilantly, and at the same time pointed the way to the car driving the armored car, and by the way, enjoyed the scenery on Taihang, China.

Along the way, they were all suffocated in armored vehicles, which was really embarrassing. When the enemy's traces were discovered just a few miles ago, Ikeda Ryo breathed a sigh of relief, but in fact, the vast number of Japanese "commanders and fighters" who had been nervously walking by their own commander for a while were also relieved.

This thing is like a ghost movie, in fact, ghosts are not scary, what is really scary is to scare yourself.

At least, this beautiful place with mountains, rivers and rivers will not have the terrible bullets of the Chinese. Running like this is good for your health.

And the danger comes from the mountains and forests where they completely relax their vigilance to look at the scenery.

Most of the mountains in Taihang Mountain are stone mountains, but it does not mean that there are no trees growing on stone mountains. On the contrary, there are many primeval forests in the Taihang Mountains, which have rarely been reached by people for thousands of years.

Especially in this era, China, where the industrial wind has not even blown in the plain areas, Taihang Mountain is basically still the original appearance. In addition to digging some grain from the small amount of land, the simple mountain people of Taihang Mountain also have to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and collect some wild animals from the mountains to make a living. It's not like in the future, where the whole mountain can be hollowed out for quarrying, and a big hole will be left for quarrying, and the whole mountain can be cut down to bald for the sake of logging and selling money. It is now, what it was in ancient times, and it is still what it is now.

Sandwiched between the valleys, the two modest mountains are lush and shrub-covered from halfway up, perfect for concealment. Even if the Japanese army wanted to go up to check, they didn't want to climb up for more than ten or twenty minutes.

What's more, in order not to be exposed, except for a very small number of observation posts, the main forces of the three infantry regiments were hidden on the side of the mountain, and it was not until the Japanese began to enter the river valley that they quietly entered their respective ambush positions from the woods.

The first round of the offensive was not rifles, nor machine guns, nor mortars.

Rather, it was an engineer company of a separate regiment.

Their combat mission in this battle was very simple, using "flying thunder cannons" to project all the remaining more than 400 explosive packs into the river valley.

A total of 80 gasoline barrels made of "unconscionable cannons", the entire 3,000-meter-long river valley, the 150 people of the engineer company brought an infantry company of the 129th Division Cavalry Battalion to help them, an average of 4 people are responsible for a gasoline barrel, each gasoline barrel is about 30 meters apart, and the base of each "flying thunder cannon" is five 7-kilogram explosive packs.

The reason why the engineer company was required to carry out this task was that the lower part of the flying thunder cannon had to be buried in the earth, relying on the earth to counteract the huge recoil force generated by the explosion of black powder. Engineers who are proficient in civil engineering are good at doing this.

The TV images of the gasoline cans being lit and fired as soon as they were put on the ground were unbearable to look at. When the cannon is fired, the gasoline barrel will have to fly into the sky! Do you think the power to drop a 10-kilogram bag of explosives more than 100 meters away is for nothing?

Is the role of force mutual? Physics goes in waves?

The work of the engineer company was good, and the red soldiers were very serious. Regarding this, the commanders of the troops on both sides tacitly agreed.

In the first round of attack, 80 explosive packs soared into the sky, flew into the sky from the back of the ridge for more than 20 meters, and then drew a graceful arc and fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers who were trotting in the river valley to enjoy the scenery.

Packets of explosives with heavy separators and time-delay detonators, weighing at least 9 kilograms, tumbled and flew in the air and in their irregular trajectories.

The Japanese army, who could see the abnormality, was a little confused.

Chinese, hit people with stones?

"Enemy attack!" Ryo Ikeda let out a terrible cry, jumped off his horse with agility that was not in keeping with his size, and rolled over and hid behind a rock on the side of the mountain road.

The Japanese army Major Zo, who was the first to save his life and frequently looked around but never for the purpose of enjoying the scenery, was not in vain, and along the way he was thinking about what he would do if the Chinese shot cold.

Now, it's time to pay back.

It's just that he didn't expect that the Chinese would throw "stones" instead of shooting.

No, Yaga! That's a dynamite pack.

When a Japanese soldier who couldn't dodge was hit by an explosive bag that fell from the sky with a wooden plank, and the neck of the steel helmet became a little shorter, there was a loud "boom", and at least seven or eight people around him flew straight into the sky like rockets on their buttocks.

The air wave generated by seven kilograms of explosives, tsk, not too cool.

Ryo Ikeda's heart fell directly from his chest to his eyes, and it was very cold.
