If someone was really captured when he led the team to the battle, it would not have been difficult for the Japanese army to learn his whereabouts. The Japanese army was most famous for not only the torture of prisoners of war, but only part of the Japanese army's treatment of prisoners. When the Japanese army interrogated prisoners of war, its ability to gather intelligence could even deduce something they needed through a few words of confession.

What He Sanliang said was not wrong, if the captured personnel spoke, the news would be transmitted to the 36th Division as soon as possible. Prisoners who fall into the hands of the Japanese army, as long as they think they are valuable, will try their best to get you to open their mouths at the first time. The exhausted Japanese army that chased his ass and was led by himself for several days of armed parade.

After capturing a captive, he will be interrogated as soon as possible to find out who his opponent is, and whether it is worth chasing after him so hard. In addition, at present, the 36th Division and the whole regiment can be said to hate themselves to the core, and if they fall into their hands, it is estimated that it is possible to cut them with a thousand knives.

All Japanese troops involved in the sweep, whether they were units within the 36th Division or not, would receive a request from the 36th Division to assist in pursuing them. And in the chaotic battlefield, there are some things that cannot be completely avoided. Presumably, the 36th Division knows its whereabouts, and it is not a matter of one or two days.

And if his old opponent Tsuruta Numan is really transferred back to the southeast of Jindong, then it will not be surprising that this guy who is familiar with his combat style will make this current move to lure himself into the bait in order to create a fighter plane in the shortest possible time after getting his whereabouts.

Between himself and Tsuruta Numa, they are too familiar with each other's styles. I will never be honest in the habit of fighting in my own defense area, and this guy is probably almost touched. This guy came out like this, and it was for his own combat style.

deliberately exposed his weaknesses, exposed his weakness to himself, and let himself take the initiative to bite the hook. On the contrary, the province went all over the mountains to pursue itself, which not only saved troops and time, but also achieved the greatest results in a short period of time, and this wishful thinking was quite good.

It is estimated that this guy thinks that if he solves himself, he will solve the hidden danger of their so-called public security in Ludong. It's just a pity that the acting skills of his subordinates are really a little poor, and he still lets himself see that something is wrong. Who has ever seen a village full of young adults? Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan smiled.

I don't seem to have done anything, how can I make the little devil pay so much attention to myself? If it weren't for the fact that I really didn't know this time, the little devil actually attached so much importance to himself. Li Ziyuan really didn't know whether to be happy or happy. As for Li Ziyuan's analysis, He Sanliang also nodded approvingly.

However, after turning his head and looking at the battalion that was cautiously moving towards the periphery of Qiaokou at the foot of the mountain, He Sanliang thought for a while and said, "Regiment commander, I think the actions of the first battalion must be stopped immediately. The plan that Tsuruta Numan came up with would definitely not be such a simple fishing plan. ”

"This guy has always liked to hold the initiative in his own hands, so his plans have always been interlocking and have a certain backhand. I'm afraid we're going to sneak up on him now, and we're not going to be able to get into his hands. It is even very likely that the surrounding Japanese puppet army is secretly encircling here. ”

He Sanliang suggested retreating immediately, and Li Ziyuan could only shake his head helplessly: "I can't withdraw now, and there is no turning back when I open the bow." Moreover, we must find out what the real intentions of the Japanese army are, and this battle is bound to be fought. Even if it's to pull a shelf, you have to hit it. ”

As soon as Li Ziyuan's voice fell, before He Sanliang could answer, Zhang Zijian in front of him had already started. Just as Li Ziyuan and He Sanliang judged, it turned out that the farmers who were pretending to be outside Qiaokou immediately pulled out their weapons from the grain and grass piles around them, and quickly concentrated on the basis of the typical Japanese infantry squad formation, and they entered the battle as soon as they started.

Although the number of these Japanese soldiers disguised as farmers outside Qiaokou was not large, they brought a lot of trouble to Zhang Zijian in front. Of course, Zhang Zijian, who has a reinforced battalion in his hands, has long been prepared. In the face of chaos, only one company was used by the troops attacking the front of Qiaokou, but two companies were used to deal with these people.

Concentrate half of the machine-gun fire he had at hand to hit these Japanese staging areas. Although these are centered on their respective systems, they are scattered at a short distance to deceive. But as long as you do it first and don't let them gather, you won't be much of a threat to yourself. Therefore, Zhang Zijian used half of his machine-gun fire to block the threat of these Japanese troops to his flanks.

But what Zhang Zijian needed to face was not only the Japanese troops on both flanks, but the biggest problem was the blocking fire of the Japanese army in the front. At least Li Ziyuan heard that the Japanese army not only put two heavy machine guns in the front, but also at least six light machine guns. In addition, the crossfire composed of two 92 infantry guns and two 90-mm mortars each sealed the attack route of Zhang Zijian's vanguard company.

Seeing that the attack of the troops under the mountain was blocked, Li Ziyuan did not hesitate at all and ordered Zhou Tong to open fire immediately. At least knock out the two heavy machine guns of the Japanese army first, and suppress the counterattack artillery fire of the Japanese army. The Japanese troops on Zhang Zijian's two flanks were not many, but they caused him a lot of trouble.

Let him not only intercept the Japanese troops on both flanks, but also concentrate on dealing with the resistance of the Japanese troops in the front. In order to make a quick breakthrough and mobilize all the hidden main forces of the Japanese army, such strength is still not enough. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Zijian was intercepted by frontal fire, Li Ziyuan threw artillery into it.

After receiving Li Ziyuan's order, Zhou Tong had already numbered all the firepower points that the Japanese army had been exposed to the outside in accordance with Li Ziyuan's order, and locked on the target.

I can't help but say that Zhou Tong, an old artilleryman, has quite excellent professional ability. In the case of insufficient number of shells to carry out test firing, the first hit was still achieved. His first shell directly lifted one of the two bunkers that He Sanliang observed as the greatest threat to the frontal attack troops.

A Type 92 heavy machine gun in the bunker, along with several machine gunners, was blown into parts and sent into the sky. The most threatening bunker was knocked out, and Zhang Zijian, who was in front, immediately dispatched a demoman. Taking advantage of the Japanese crossfire, the fighter planes that had been knocked out of one ring of crossfire touched the shooting dead end of another bunker and blew up the remaining bunker with a cluster*.

After the greatest threat to the flanks was gone, Zhang Zijian only adopted a fire blockade with the assistance of deep mortar fire against the strength of about a squadron of Japanese troops on both flanks. And the main energy was put on the frontal attack under the cover of artillery fire.

And knocked out a bunker, Zhou Tong immediately turned the muzzle of the gun to the front, and his artillery fire was accurate and ruthless. As long as the Japanese army exposed the firepower points, it was basically one cannon at a time. Although a lot of time was wasted in order to transfer positions, as long as Zhou Tong opened fire on this side, the threat to the entire fortifications of the Japanese puppet army would be fatal.

If you don't open the cannon, you will definitely get something when you fire the cannon. Zhou Tong, who regarded this mountain gun as a direct-aim artillery, although only one in his hand was in the Japanese army, it was only an old-fashioned 41-type mountain gun as a wing gun, and there were only 30 shells. But the mountain artillery that Zhou Tong played tricks did to the Japanese army, but the losses caused to the Japanese army were greater than those of He Huizhang's two mortars.

The Japanese artillery on the opposite side, despite repeated attempts to concentrate their fire, knocked out this hateful mountain artillery. However, Zhou Tong, with his extremely experienced experience, took advantage of the advantages of this 41-type mountain gun, although it had a short firing range, but was light in weight and flexible. The tactic of firing a cannon to change a place was formulated, but the Japanese artillery fire was repeatedly extinguished. Instead, he was seized and knocked out a mortar.

Compared with Zhou Tong, who took direct aim and opened a passage for Zhang Zijian's attack troops. Behind him, He Huizhang continued to use cold artillery and rapid fire to fire alternately. Cooperate with Zhang Zijian's troops to the two flanks to intercept the Japanese troops disguised as farmers east of Qiaokou.

In order to lure out the true intentions of the Japanese army, Li Ziyuan invested all his artillery at the beginning, like stabbing a hornet's nest. In a mortar that tried to kill Zhou Tong's mountain artillery, stealing chickens and rice was blown up by Zhou Tong. The Japanese troops on both flanks were unable to complete the assembly under the interception of Zhang Zijian's machine gun fire and the mortars of He Huizhang on the mountain.

As soon as the two light machine guns he was carrying opened fire, even the people with the guns were blown up into the sky. Not only did it fail to pose a fatal threat to Zhang Zijian, who was attacking head-on, but he suffered a lot of losses under the threat of machine guns and mortars from the Eighth Route. After their entire tactical attempts were in danger of failing, the Japanese troops in the Qiaokou stronghold simply tore off all their camouflage.

In addition to the artillery that had already fired before, the four Type 94 mountain guns, as well as one 120* gun, and two 150-mm mortars, which had been hidden in the shadows and did not fire, were also added. The Japanese quickly redivided all the artillery fire, and the artillery group composed of two Type 94 mountain guns and two 150 mm mortars suppressed the mortar position of He Huizhang.

And the 120 mm * gun and the two Type 94 mountain guns concentrated their firepower to fight Zhou Tong's mountain gun. The remaining 90-millimeter mortars and two 92 infantry guns concentrated their fire on Zhang Zijian's attacking troops and the machine gun positions of Zhang Zijian's department. The Japanese counterattack artillery fire was fast and fierce, and the density of firepower was unprecedentedly amazing.

At least it was the first time for Li Ziyuan to see such a layered and echeloned firepower counterattack. At best, the two sides are fighting at the regimental level, and the dispatch of so many artillery pieces is somewhat suspicious of waste. Even if the firepower was temporarily strengthened according to the wartime configuration of the Japanese army, it was never strengthened to such a point.

Even if one mortar was knocked out, the Japanese army put in artillery fire, and there were still eleven guns. Among them, there is also one artillery gun with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters and two heavy mortars, which should be all the real firepower deployed by the Japanese army in Qiaokou. The previous two 90-mm mortars and two 92 infantry guns were just part of the Japanese bait.

Although it was the first time that it was bombarded by the Japanese army, an old-fashioned artillery equipped in the Meiji period, Li Ziyuan could still hear from the unique ballistic sound of this old cannon that the caliber of this cannon was at least 100 mm or more. Looking at Zhou Tong, who was no longer able to fire and could only withdraw under the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese counterattack, Li Ziyuan could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
