After breaking through the blockade of the Tuba Road in front of him, the lieutenant who was ordered to come to support was an old man who had been stationed in Hubei and Ludong since the 36th Division was stationed in Changzhi. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ . He was still familiar with the activities and tactics of the Eighth Route Army, and he did not agree with the decision of this Okazaki Nakasa to be stationed here.

He thought that he should take advantage of the fact that the old Eighth Road in the Taihang Mountains had not yet appeared, and the surrounding Tuba Road was poorly equipped, so he could only use some 'rioty' disturbance tactics, and it was the best choice to rush to Licheng in one go. If you wait for a night here and wait for the old Eighth Road in Taihang Mountain to react, it will be really bad.

This lieutenant is one of the very few in the Japanese army who is not a graduate of the army non-commissioned officer school, but has come out of the ranks step by step. Because they are not graduates of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, there is basically no room for promotion. However, it is precisely because of his old qualifications and because of his background that he cannot sit in a position such as a staff officer, and he has been stationed on the front line with extraordinary experience.

His attitude is very clear, that is, to seize the old Eighth Road in the Taihang Mountain, maybe he hasn't paid attention to the opportunity here yet. Rushing through the mountainous area in the east of Hubei in one go, he rushed directly to the territory of Licheng, and caught the Eighth Route Army stationed in Licheng by surprise. In the previous operation, Okazaki Nakasa had already spent too much time in the mountainous area east of Huboku.

For a whole day, it was wasted on the march. The most important thing to do now is to recover as much lost time as possible. He repeatedly warned Okazaki Nakasa that the eight roads in front of him were just the dirt eight roads in the Hubei area. Except for playing some 'yin' tricks, he has no ability to 'fight' the Imperial Army head-on.

If it is delayed, and when the old Eighth Road over there reacts, it will not be this kind of 'disturbing' attack. Especially the closer it is to the so-called old base of Taihang Mountain on the old Eighth Road, the more it is a place that cannot stay for a long time. Running, running, the most critical factor is that the action must be fast. If you are always grinding and chirping, then all the fighters will be lost in vain.

It's just the opinion of this lieutenant, and this Kencho Okazaki Nakasa didn't pay attention to it at all. During the daytime attack, he was impressed by the ingenuity of the opponent's tactics and the good intentions of the design. In just one day, his troops of more than 500 troops actually suffered more than 200 casualties under the enemy's 'tricks' of various tactics.

Until now, there is still nearly a reinforcement team before and after, and the whereabouts of the troops sent out as scouts are unknown. If we take advantage of the cover of night 'color' to continue to advance, we can indeed take advantage of the fact that everyone's visibility at night is not high, and we may be able to get rid of the enemy's 'disturbance'. But the night movement in this mountainous area is also very bad for oneself, and even brings more disadvantages than possible benefits.

Endless mines, traps, and constant attacks by small troops. Poor visibility at night does have some benefits for your actions, but it is even more beneficial for these tactics of your opponents. Visibility is good during the day, and at least the enemy forces will have some restraint in small force attacks. Moreover, the losses caused by minefields and traps can also be reduced to a minimum.

So Kencho Okazaki stubbornly insisted on acting during the day tomorrow, and as for the lieutenant, no matter how much he persuaded him, he insisted on not changing his mind. Not only did he not change his mind, but Kencho Okazaki also forcibly incorporated all the Japanese soldiers in the lieutenant's command into his team for the time being.

And those puppet soldiers Kencho Okazaki also made a decision happily, these unreliable Shina people came just in time this time. Let these garrisons go to the front station, there are mines and traps, and it just so happens that they will go for the imperial army. In this way, the casualties of the imperial army can be greatly reduced. In addition, it can also be used as a baggage unit to carry some ammunition and wounded.

Looking at the stubborn Okazaki Kencho Nakasa, the lieutenant could only reluctantly choose to obey under the military discipline of crushing people at the first level of the official university. But this guy has an extra heart, and uses the radio he carries to report Okazaki Nakasa's opinion to his superiors.

In the telegram, the lieutenant hoped that his superiors would be able to end the crusade against Ludong as soon as possible. Or adjust the deployment with a part of the troops, and move south from the Ludong area to prepare for the contingency. In order to ensure that this Kencho Okazaki and his subordinates can receive reinforcements in the shortest possible time when necessary.

After sending a telegram to his immediate superior, the lieutenant looked at the surrounding dark mountains, even though the night seemed peaceful. But in his heart, there was still a feeling of unease. And this feeling is getting worse and worse as the sky brightens up little by little.

Compared to this sleepless night, this lieutenant who is always on guard against the opponent's sneak attack by taking advantage of the night'. After the 'color' gradually brightened up that day, the night's calm made Ken Okazaki Nakasa, but confirmed the correctness of his previous decision. But before waiting for Okazaki Nakasa and his men, they were preparing to leave after a simple breakfast. In both his southeast and northeast directions, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.

Hearing this dense gunfire, Kencho Okazaki immediately put down the rice bowl in his hand, and after scolding the hateful, he raised his binoculars to try to find the attacker. This dense and simultaneous sound of continuous knocking was very similar to the 'shooting' sound of the Makqin heavy machine gun that the Chinese army was accustomed to firing, which made Kenaga Okazaki's heart immediately tense up again.

There is a Makqin heavy machine gun, will this be the old Eighth Road in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain? After several calls to the cordoned positions in both directions, but without the slightest response, Kencho Okazaki simultaneously ordered two infantry squads, one of each reinforced garrison, to immediately deploy in both directions and conduct a search to identify the attackers.

At the same time, the main forces were ordered to immediately seize a commanding height on the left in order to prepare for battle. At the same time, two 'guns' were ordered, and they were immediately ready to open fire. Kenaga Okazaki thinks that since the old Eighth Road has been killed, it will not be of much use in going to Licheng. For me now, how to protect myself is the most important thing.

Four 'Ting' Makqin heavy machine guns, what is not the main force of the Eighth Road? Yesterday, the Tubalu that entangled itself for a whole day, there were only a few 'strong' light machine guns, and after a day of fighting, there was no record of any heavy machine guns participating in the battle. At present, the new heavy machine gun can only be the old Eighth Road in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain.

In fact, despite the quick response, Kencho Okazaki obviously made a mistake in judgment with this decision made at the moment. This Okazaki Kenchang was the wing of the 37th Division, and his troops had always been stationed in the southwest of Shanxi Province and Chongqing across the Yellow River, and with the 36th Division to clamp down on the Chongqing army on the Zhongtiao Mountain side, and at the same time to the north to control the Jin Sui Army, which had at this time largely shrunk to the southwest of Shanxi.

Because of the relationship between the combat area of the unit he was in, his experience in 'fighting' with the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain was almost blank. His judgment of the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army was still according to the standards of the miscellaneous army in Chongqing. There is the appearance of the Makqin heavy machine gun, that is, the strength of at least one battalion of the Chinese army around itself, and possibly even a regiment.

And this judgment is not incorrect. But for the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army, the Makqin heavy machine gun is not nothing, but there are not many in number. Especially for the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountains, the heavy machine guns are still mainly Jinzao heavy machine guns and miscellaneous heavy machine guns.

Even at the regimental level, it is basically based on Jin-made machine guns and captured Japanese-style machine guns, and the proportion of water-cooled Makqin heavy machine guns is not high. Only some of the old units of the Red Army, which had a relatively deep foundation, had a certain number of Makqin heavy machine guns. Moreover, even if there is a Maxim heavy machine gun, it is impossible to fire continuously because of the lack of ammunition and 'medicine'.

For this Okazaki Kencho Nakasa, there is obviously some judgment that the grass and trees are all soldiers. The lieutenant, who had led the troops to support him, was quite dissatisfied. He has been 'dealing' with the Eighth Route for a long time, and he still has a certain understanding of the bluff tactics played by the Eighth Route Army. He didn't think that with the shabby ammunition 'medicine' reserve of the Eighth Road, he would make such a big move.

The sound of the four 'strong' heavy machine guns firing in two directions should be an illusion that they 'made' the mystery and used other things. Besides, even a newcomer who has never been on the battlefield knows the principle of concentrating firepower on a local battlefield. As far as the firepower of the Eighth Road is still divided into two directions, it will definitely not be true.

It was only after this lieutenant put forward this opinion that he was directly and ruthlessly vetoed on the spot by Kenaga Okazaki. For Kennaga Okazaki, the most important thing at the moment is to seize the advantageous terrain as soon as possible, and not to stay here and let the eight roads that are very likely to swarm to surround him.

Just when Kenaga Okazaki, who thought that he had been attacked by a large force of troops from the Eighth Route, adjusted his deployment to pull all his forces to a commanding height, and controlled the mountain where this commanding height was located and the surrounding mountains, and quickly established a solid defensive line. Li Ziyuan, who had been observing the movements of the Japanese army on the mountain over there, looked at the Japanese soldiers who were in a hurry, but he was lightly relieved.

As for the Japanese squad that was cautiously searching for his side, plus dozens of puppet soldiers, the corners of his mouth 'revealed' a sarcastic smile. Looking at the Japanese army getting closer and closer, Li Ziyuan picked up the shell gun with the holster, raised his hand and shot it, and directly knocked down a pseudo-officer walking in front.

After Li Ziyuan took the lead in firing, more than 30 soldiers around him also immediately fired at the Japanese soldiers in front of him with platoon guns. Behind them, the two soldiers also quickly lit two new firecrackers and stuffed them into the foreign leather iron barrel.

Li Ziyuan's true and false, for a while, in addition to the northeast direction, which had gradually calmed down, the southeast direction of the Japanese army's resting place was full of gunfire. The dull thump of the firecrackers hanging in the tin barrels of foreign skin was like two 'strong' Makqin heavy machine guns firing.

Seeing that the fighting in the southeast direction was so lively, Kencho Okazaki did not hesitate at all to order the artillery and immediately opened fire in the southeast direction. The Japanese artillery that received the order immediately concentrated two 'doors' of mountain artillery, and dozens of shells fired in a short period of time blew up Li Ziyuan's position in a mess.

It's just that when the Japanese artillery fire fell, Li Ziyuan took the troops in front of him, after firing two rows of guns. Under the cover of the two 'Ting' light machine guns behind him who suddenly opened fire, they quickly withdrew to the second-line position along the route that had been chosen long ago. The dozens of shells fired by the Japanese did not achieve any results except to blow up patches of dust from the already empty positions.

Although the two rows of platoon guns did not cause many casualties, only four or five of the more than 50 Japanese puppet troops were defeated because the Japanese troops were scattered. The remaining casualties were basically very dense platoons of puppet troops. However, Li Ziyuan deployed two 'Ting' light machine guns in the depth, aiming at the Japanese army's sudden fire, but he knocked down seven or eight Japanese soldiers at once.
