The three Japanese soldiers didn't even have time to send back a scream, and they were cut into bayonet-like wood in the trap, and they were pierced through the heart. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. Looking at the tragic situation of the three spearheads in the trap in front of him, looking at the surrounding dark mountains, and thinking of the group of spearheads who had not received any news in front of him, Okazaki Kencho Nakasa couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

If it weren't for the tenacity of the Japanese soldiers, as well as the strict orders of his superiors, Kencho Okazaki, who had already had the intention of retreating in his heart at this time, would have ordered a retreat. If you want to talk about a tough battle, although he is only a wing plus a staff officer, he has never been afraid of these dirt roads. But this kind of opponent who can't see but can only be beaten passively, Kencho Okazaki is really a little stunned.

It's just that at this moment, he also knows that in addition to the unified deployment of his superiors, friendly troops dispatched from other directions, and complete the peace with the headquarters of the Eighteenth Army, he is already this Okazaki Kencho Nakasa, who has no way out. Even if there is some confusion in my heart, I can only continue to move forward.

He couldn't understand why the 36th Division, to which he was assigned, had changed its deployment before departure. From the original out of Qin County, it was suddenly changed to be directly 'inserted' into the territory of Licheng by Hubei. You must know that although this road is closer than Qinxian County and passes through Yushe and Wuxiang, the terrain on this route is too unfavorable.

After cursing his boss's stupid decision in his heart, he looked at the team of sharp soldiers sent out, and there was no return again and again. Ken Okazaki Nakasa is also simply no longer sending out sharp soldiers. Spread all the troops apart, and directly advance the team quickly.

It's just that Kencho Okazaki, who was dispatched again, and his subordinates, cautiously advanced less than five kilometers. The blow came again, only this time it was not the brigade that marched cautiously on the mountain road, but the two squads that protruded from the hills on both sides as alert forces.

It was only five kilometers safely walked, and there was no attack during the process. Let Kencho Okazaki's heart be nervous all the time, when it lands a little. Among the two reinforced infantry squads operating on the hills on both sides, the infantry squad on the right flank flanked and rear, and suddenly a dense burst of machine gun sounded.

When the reinforced squad, which had been defeated by seven or eight soldiers, turned its head to clear the attackers, it turned headlong into a small minefield. And the location of this new minefield is the one they have just passed through, and they have not found anything out of the ordinary.

Although this reinforcement squad is distanced and uses typical offensive tactics to take out these despicable attackers. But no one thought that the place they had just passed through had also laid some mines. And not just mines, but also serial mines with grenades added. After a dense burst of explosions, almost no one in this Japanese squad escaped.

Just when the Japanese soldiers under the hill looked at their comrades in front of the right flank in amazement, and none of them stood up after being hit one after another. Several dirt roads that suddenly appeared suddenly appeared behind the side of this Japanese squad. Under the cover of the crossfire of the two 'strong' light machine guns, the reinforced squad disappeared into the mountains after sweeping away the weapons and ammunition of the reinforced squad at the fastest speed.

The skillfulness of his movements and the sharpness of his hands and feet did not give the surrounding Japanese troops time to react at all. By the time the friendly troops at the foot of the mountain were worried about stepping into the minefield and hesitating whether to go up to the rescue, the heavy machine guns covered by fire had just been added up, and the other side had disappeared.

Before the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain and on the opposite hill could react, the left flank, which had been quite calm before, suddenly landed in the middle of the Japanese army with two grenadiers, and the attention of the left flank was directly knocked down by the gunfire and explosions of the Japanese squad on the opposite hill.

Although the range of this kind of 'firing' is much closer than that of a mortar, it never needs any immediate position, and it can be fired on any terrain. It doesn't give anyone time to react at all, and on the battlefield it is the weapon of the most lethal killer of the squadron's light and heavy machine guns. Their inventors, the Japanese army, also lacked the means to deal with it.

Although the casualties caused by these two grenades were far less than the squad on the opposite hill, which was almost completely wiped out. But these two grenades also directly caused one-third of the strength of this reinforced squad to fall. And at the same time as these two grenades exploded, accurate cold shots sounded on both sides of the mountain road behind the Japanese army's march.

These two unusually accurate rifles in the shortest possible time knocked out the artillery behind them, and after knocking down five or six pack horses plus a pack cannon, they disappeared into the mountains on both flanks. By the time an annoyed Kenaga Okazaki sent an infantry squad arrived at the firing site, they had only picked up ten empty cartridge casings.

Faced with the situation that he had not even completed a tenth of the march, he was killed and wounded under the repeated attacks, and lost a full fifth of his troops. Although this Okazaki Kencho Nakasa is only a wing of the Japanese army, he also has some haste and wit. After being beaten continuously, he simply became a turtle with a retracted head.

Let the troops on both flanks go directly to the ridge, ignore the enemy's 'rioty' sneak attack, and forcibly penetrate the enemy's depth. On the mountain road, the main force freed up some horses carrying heavy loads, and let go of the reins to let these horses go ahead. He followed the horses with his troops, preparing for battle and advancing cautiously.

For Kencho Okazaki, horses don't matter as long as they can guarantee enough combat soldiers. The spare ammunition and heavy machine guns on the horses, as well as some dry rations to distribute to each soldier, were still not too heavy. When they get to a populated area, they can grab the animals with ammunition and weapons. If there are too many casualties, it will be a real death.

As for his subordinates, although the heavy machine guns of nearly 100 kilograms were carried by horses instead of manpower, it was too much work. The rest of the soldiers also had to share some of the ammunition for the heavy machine gun crew, as well as increase the weight of some dry food and ammunition. But for these soldiers, it's a bit tiring, but it's better than not having to die.

At this moment, on a hill less than 500 meters on the right flank of the Japanese army, Li Ziyuan, who was holding a telescope and observing the Japanese army in the process of tactical adjustment, was a little headache in the face of the new tactics adopted by the Japanese army, and at the same time, he was obviously a little impetuous. Although his tactics were quite successful, Li Ziyuan did not have any happy look at the moment.

On the contrary, the expression on Li Ziyuan's face at the moment was unusually irritable and uneasy. Originally, the various tactical means he was adopting at the moment were to see that the target of this Japanese army was not himself. It should be borrowed from the north of the road to the north of the road, and the direction of the depth of Licheng is 'interspersed', and its ultimate goal is the core area of the Taihang base area.

Therefore, he seized the mentality of the Japanese army who was in a hurry to rush when they were alone in the depths, and set up this tactic of sparrow warfare plus mine warfare. If these Japanese troops adopt the tactics of a centripetal assault that the Japanese army is accustomed to encircling on all sides and attacking from multiple directions every time they sweep 'sweep'. Li Ziyuan's tactics are tantamount to looking for death by himself.

He just saw that the ultimate goal of this Japanese army was not himself, and he was anxious to pass through the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei. Only then did they boldly adopt multiple ambushes and take sparrow warfare and mine warfare as the main means of warfare. First, the strength of the Japanese army was gradually weakened, and it was completely 'provoked' to divide its troops to encircle itself, and finally digested its attack power in the mountainous area east of Hubei.

Before the Japanese army was dispatched, he had already sent people to report to the military division. If you can use this tactic of peeling off the skin layer by layer, you can completely 'provoke' the Japanese army to bite you to the death, and let the entire march route of the Japanese army turn with your own command. Then when the reinforcements arrived, Li Ziyuan thought that the more than 500 Japanese troops could be completely solved before entering the territory of Licheng.

In particular, this Japanese army, perhaps for the sake of secrecy, did not have the cooperation of the local snake puppet army, and was obviously unfamiliar with the terrain in the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei. The Japanese army clung to itself, so they took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and the relatively unique terrain of this mountainous area. There are a lot of fighters available, and even one of them can be solved.

But the biggest problem with this tactic is also the one that Li Ziyuan ignored the most before. That is, it takes a lot of time to carry out the layer-by-layer peeling tactics that he originally determined. Because Li Ziyuan did not eat the opponent's strength in one go, he could only slowly wear down the Japanese army. It was only possible to take a little to weaken the Japanese army in this division, waiting for reinforcements from the main forces to arrive.

For Li Ziyuan now, the consequences of ignoring an issue are cascading. After finding that you don't have much possibility, you can buy enough time in the current situation. Li Ziyuan re-examined the entire plan, only to find that the entire plan he had originally formulated actually had a rather big 'hole'.

After perceiving that he had made a mistake in his original judgment, at least in some cases, Li Ziyuan immediately keenly discovered this leak 'hole', if he couldn't make up for it in time. Not to mention whether he can hold back this Japanese army, even if he is unable to protect himself.

Li Ziyuan's original plan was all based on one foundation, that is, even if the main force could not be reinforced in a short period of time, the divisional troops could at least 'draw' some troops to reinforce themselves. Of course, Li Ziyuan was not referring to reinforcing himself, but to reinforce Liu Yanlai, who was in the north to block the Japanese puppet army from Hubei.

Can we delay the dispatch of the Japanese puppet army from Luoma and Qiaokou, so that the two Japanese armies cannot cooperate with each other in strategic attempts, and buy enough time for themselves. It is the most fatal, critical and decisive factor in whether or not the whole plan can achieve ultimate success.

Li Ziyuan is still clear about the combat effectiveness of the two district squads led by Liu Yanlai, plus more than 30 basic militias. Liu Yanlai's troops seemed to be quite numerous, but that was just a look. The real main combat strength is the more than 30 people led by Liu Lianming. There may be no problem in a short period of time, but after a long time, there is almost no possibility of holding back the Japanese puppet army over there.

Although he had given the military sub-district a preventive shot in advance, he also requested reinforcements from the military sub-district before the battle began. But at present, a large number of Japanese puppet troops also appeared in Ludong, and whether the military sub-division still has the ability to 'draw' some troops to reinforce the Hubei battlefield, Li Ziyuan missed this point.

Although the sub-division has a basic cadre regiment stationed in Ludong, and more than 200 people in the Ludong basic cadre battalion. However, the Japanese army's plan for this sweep was obviously well thought out. Since they chose the territory of Hubei as the route of their surprise attack on the territory of Licheng, where a large number of organs were stationed, they would not fail to take into account all the armed forces under the jurisdiction of the entire Ludong Army Sub-district, and only consider their own backbone guerrilla force, which did not have many troops.
