As a graduate of the regular Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, he was not the kind of reserve officer who came from the background. The 36th Division of the Japanese puppet army, the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the 224th Wing, and the self-esteemed Hideo Ikeda, who commanded the 36th Division of the Japanese puppet army under Yamashita, also had a very clear mind, and he was always in control of the changes in the entire battle situation.

Although there has been a stalemate at the entrance of the village for such a long time, no major progress has been made. But after attacking during this time, he had already figured out the number of eight ways to block him, and clearly judged that the number of eight roads on the mountain was not much. And after this period of attack, the opponent's blood is estimated to be about to run dry.

This Hideo Ikeda let the puppet army take the lead, and there was already a consumption of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the ammunition they lacked the most. If it weren't for the cunning of the commander of this eight-way force, he would not fight even a counterattack if he didn't want to fight a small tactical counterattack that was more cleverly conceived.

In addition, the puppet army's combat effectiveness was weak and its combat quality was very poor, and he always only sent a small number of Japanese troops to supervise the battle, and did not participate in the offensive and was never able to make a decisive breakthrough. Hideo Ikeda believes that this Hachiro blood, which is not much, should have been drained a long time ago.

However, for sending a puppet army with weak combat to take the lead, causing a delay in the progress of the battle, this Shaozo captain did not think that it was his own mistake. The use of the puppet army to consume the small amount of ammunition of the Eighth Route itself, in order to preserve the elite of the Imperial Japanese Army and suffer as few losses as possible, was a common method used by officers at all levels of the Japanese army when fighting against the Eighth Route.

Even if the time is delayed a little, anyway, the surrounding Eighth Route has long been attracted by the friendly forces that went to sneak attack the Eighth Route Headquarters, and he happened to attack calmly here. What's more, although the division and regimental headquarters formulated a strict plan for this infiltration and sneak attack on the Eighth Route Base Area, after all, several units were isolated behind enemy lines, and the security behind them was more important than anything else.

This Hideo Ikeda believes that in order to prevent a sneak attack from behind, it is a smart deployment to use the puppet army to conduct a frontal battle, leaving the imperial army with stronger combat effectiveness and more tenacious will to ensure the rear road, and to guard the periphery. Giving one's back to the people of China is something that a qualified Imperial Army officer would never do.

Keeping the security behind it in your own hands is the most reliable choice. Those puppet armies, let's use them to consume the ammunition of the Eight Routes, and use them to drain the limited strength of the Eight Routes. Even if the battle is delayed, it is not a big deal.

However, the battle has been fought until now, and the gunfire of resistance on the hill is getting weaker and weaker. Hideo Ikeda decided that it was time to put on his imperial elite to solve the problem. So at this time, he was ready to replace the puppet army with the Japanese army in order to give the final blow to the eight roads on the mountain.

Although in the entire sneak attack plan of the Japanese army, his way was only a supporting role to attract the attention of the surrounding eight roads. Create favorable conditions for other friendly forces to sneak attack the headquarters of the 129th Division and the headquarters of the Taihang Military Region. But this Hideo Ikeda Shaozo is not willing to limit his role to a supporting role.

Although he did not seize the task of sneaking up on the head of the Eighth Route of Taihang Mountain, the field hospital was not a dispensable target. Before the war, the division reported that this hospital was the only and only hospital on the Eighth Road in the entire Taihang Mountains. If this hospital is destroyed, it will deal a serious blow to the morale of the Eight Roads.

Strategically, it will also give better cooperation to the surprise attack on the Eighth Route Military Region Command. Therefore, this Hideo Ikeda, although he was placed in a supporting role in the entire tactics of the Japanese army, he did not bluff, but really launched an attack.

There was actually only one reason why he did this, because he knew from the limited information that the Eighth Route General had caused serious losses to the 36th Division. He was seriously wounded by the Imperial Army during the previous attack on his headquarters, and is now recuperating in this hospital. If the sneak attack is successful, destroying this field hospital can kill or capture this guy.

He can be said to have made a great contribution to the 36th Division. Even if it won't be promoted to the next level, a medal must be indispensable. The eight-way officer on the mountain who used a fast and slow machine and hung a telescope on his chest. Whether it was the target he was going to capture alive or not, although it is not clear for the time being.

But he also knew that the person who hung such a large magnification telescope in the Eighth Route Army, and was protected by guards, was at least a regimental-level cadre. Even if all your goals are ultimately frustrated. But if you kill or capture this officer, it can be regarded as a great achievement.

The unhurried fight before was not because he was really not in a hurry. As early as when Li Ziyuan led Da Li and rushed through his vanguard formation, he had already expected that his sneak attack plan might fail. But the slow pace of the transfer of the field hospital rekindled his hope.

During the battle for the key points at the entrance of the village and the field hospital, this Hideo Ikeda was holding a telescope all the time, carefully observing the changes in the battle situation and all the movements in the village from a commanding height outside the village. He was not in a hurry because of the speed of the transfer of the field hospital, which gave him a reassurance.

A large number of seriously injured people were carried out of the village, and it was destined that even if the hospital was out of sight for a short time, it would not run too far. Slowly consuming their covering forces and completely destroying this hospital for themselves will create better convenient conditions.

And Li Ziyuan, who commanded on the mountain, was dressed in a typical attire of a cadre above the Eighth Route Regiment, so that this Hideo Ikeda could not be sure that he was his target. But he couldn't help but take capturing Li Ziyuan alive as the main goal. You must know that the binoculars hanging on that guy's chest, even in the Japanese army, are generally only equipped with major generals and above.

Hideo Ikeda, who was bent on catching him alive, was afraid that the old man would commit suicide when he ran out of ammunition and food, and even ordered the mortar men not to fire at Li Ziyuan's location. He took the lead with the puppet army, and he fought so unhurriedly. In addition to consuming the strength and ammunition of the Eighth Route Defense, wanting to capture Li Ziyuan alive is also another reason.

Now that Li Ziyuan wants to run, it is not easy to put Li Ziyuan, the main target, Hideo Ikeda, who has about the same consumption of troops around him, where will he easily let go? Stimulated by medals and meritorious service, although he has always maintained the necessary coolness, this does not mean that he will give up his choice.

Hachiro on the mountain put on a posture of wanting to run, and this Hideo Ikeda will be willing there. Without thinking about it, the command team chased after him directly. However, after entering the village, the Japanese puppet army was obviously much more cautious. A careful search was carried out along the dirt road leading from the entrance of the village to the back mountain, and the slightest movement was accompanied by the sound of guns and cannons.

Li Ziyuan, who was hidden in an alley leading to the northeast of the village, saw that the devil was getting closer and closer, and raised his hand without the slightest politeness was a shuttle of bullets, directly knocking down the two sharp soldiers in front of him. And then the fighters around him also came with a salvo. After shooting this platoon gun, Li Ziyuan and his troops did not walk into the streets of the minefield.

Instead, under the leadership of the militia who received the arrival, they turned into the alley and then climbed over the wall and through the window, all the way to the northwest to evacuate. Li Ziyuan didn't want to wade into the minefield laid by his own people, and he didn't want to eat his own people's * fried. However, in order to lead the Japanese puppet army into the minefield of devils, Li Ziyuan always paused at a certain corner and stabbed the Japanese puppet army.

Li Ziyuan repeatedly performed this kind of inappropriate tricks, just like a mouse fighting a cat, constantly stimulating the Japanese puppet army. No matter how big Hideo Ikeda is, no matter how calm his mind is, he can't stand this kind of harassment. This is simply not a battle, but a clear contempt for himself.

Hideo Ikeda, who was a little crazy by Li Ziyuan's morning glory tactics, immediately divided his troops and quickly pursued Li Ziyuan's position. Sent to act as a spearhead soldier in front, in order to avoid Li Ziyuan's sneak attack like a convulsion, the puppet army who chose to move along the street wall took the lead in stepping on a stone mine arranged at the corner of a house.

After a small explosion, I saw that this puppet army was loaded with stone mines, and the lethality was not very large, in fact, it was a large two-kicker*, smoked like a stove prince, covering one foot that was blown to pieces, lying on the ground and crying wolf.

Although he was not fatally injured, the smell of one foot being blown apart was unpleasant. And it's not just this guy who is unlucky, this one is no different in size and appearance from the stone mill commonly used in the countryside, and the amount of soil * that obviously increases the amount of charge, even if it is filled with *, it can be blown up as terrifying.

Because the other Japanese puppet soldiers were far away, the scattered stone chips from the explosion did not hurt anyone. Except for being blown away by a stone, which smashed a hole in the head of a puppet army, causing some minor injuries, it did not cause much damage.

However, a Japanese soldier hiding behind this puppet army, because he used this puppet army as a substitute for the dead, was relatively close, but the reason was that he also fell into bad luck. A blown stone was inserted into one of his eyes without being oblique. What is the eye? Usually a grain of sand can kill someone, let alone a somewhat sharp stone.

The stone inserted into his eye socket, if not killing him on the spot, at least the eye could not be saved. A stone stuck in one eye causes great pain. At that moment, this guy threw away the Type 38 rifle in his hand, covered his bleeding eyes with one hand, and howled with the ghost crying wolf who sang and harmonized with the unlucky puppet army in front of him.

The ghosts of these two guys howled wolf, and the Japanese puppet soldiers behind them were frightened and took several big steps back. The firepower of the Eighth Route Army was weak, and a regiment did not have a few machine guns. As long as it wasn't a small formation of troops that were ambushed, these Japanese troops really didn't care too much. When dealing with the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army, in addition to worrying that the Eighth Route would be strong and weak, mobilized troops to ambush their own small forces. And in addition to starting with his own insufficient supply line, the most worried is the eight-way *.

Although most of the Eight Paths* are made of earth-made stone* with very low power, in fact, the real lethality is not very large. But although the probability of killing people is very small, there are not many times when it is blown up. In addition, in order to increase the lethality of *, Balu often makes some ghosts in the charge of *.

It can't kill you, but as long as you get a little injury, it will make you live but it's very uncomfortable, and even die in pain. Coupled with its flexible use of * tactics, the way of burying mines is full of tricks, and even dares to bury * at the gate of the stronghold, so that * This thing can also take the initiative to find you.
