Chapter 1162: The Ruthless Eighth Route Army (First Update!) )
After hesitating for a few seconds, he reminded: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, is there one more thing?" ”
"In order to recruit soldiers and buy the hearts of the people, we are running out of food and urgently need to replenish it. Otherwise, some of the good feelings that the Chinese people have just had towards us will come to naught, and our previous efforts will be wasted! ”
Lieutenant General Fujino replied with a calm face: "No need to be careful, the follow-up grain promised by the front army will start to be shipped tomorrow, and it will arrive in Linfen in three days." A total of 3 million catties of grain is enough for us to last for two months! ”
"That's good!" The chief of staff replied with a sigh of relief.
Completely unaware that his old rival might attack this batch of grain.
After all, the roads that the convoy was going to take were all in the area occupied by the Imperial Army, and there were a large number of Imperial troops guarding them along the way!
Tanjiagou, where Wang Ping decided to raid the devil's convoy.
At three o'clock in the morning, Wang Ping led his troops to bypass the blockade line of the Japanese puppet army and lurked here.
"Commander, the devil transport team has arrived three kilometers away, and there is still an hour before the forward troops can enter our pocket formation!" The platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the fourth battalion rushed to the commanding heights of the battlefield and reported when he saw Wang Ping!
"God help me~ It's only five hours until it gets dark, and there are still four hours left after the devil arrives here. Even if the little devil's aviation arrives at the battlefield, it will take more than an hour, and at most stay on the battlefield for half an hour before retreating! Wang Ping exclaimed with excitement on his face.
"Two companies of the air defense battalion, in platoons, occupy all the commanding heights on both sides of the road!
"The anti-aircraft machine gun is powerful, the firing range is long, the effective range of flat fire is more than a kilometer, and only the bullets hit the road, even if it only touches the little devil, it will bring a deadly threat to the little devil!"
"Eighteen anti-aircraft machine guns and the same number of heavy machine guns are working together to occupy the high ground on both sides of the road, and no matter how good the devil is, it is impossible to snatch those high points from us. After the battle began, we could only be beaten passively under the suppressive strafing of more than 30 of our heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns! ”
"Each company, after seeing the attack signal, move in place in the shortest possible time, block the possible breakthrough gap of the devils, and then divide and surround the Japanese transport troops!"
"The cavalry battalion, responsible for assaulting the devil's 2,000 recruits, they are not equipped with heavy weapons, and they can only be beaten passively in front of ordinary infantry......"
"After the offensive forces were fully in motion, the anti-aircraft battalion withdrew from the battle and set up empty positions on the spot. As long as the little devil plane is high, give me a hard beating, and try to kill a little devil plane for me! ”
In charge of the transport team was a devil Shaozuo, who commanded two baggage squadrons and a reinforced squadron of guard troops.
As for the two thousand recruits, because the officer with the highest rank was only a lieutenant, and it was also under his command!
As an old junior officer, the maximum number of troops he commanded was 2,000 people, of which more than 1,000 were imperial troops.
Now, he actually commanded nearly 3,000 troops, and all of them were imperial troops. From the beginning of the departure, Shao Zuo had a high-spirited expression on his face.
If it was in normal times, he definitely didn't want the transport team under his command to run into a little devil.
But now, not only is he not worried about this problem, but he is a little hopeful in his heart that the transport team can be targeted by the Eighth Route Army.
I haven't moved my nest in the position of captain of Shaozuo for two years.
During the war years, this time was enough for me to be promoted to Zhongzuo.
The only thing missing is an opportunity to achieve military exploits, as long as there are military merits, Shao Zuo is sure that his promotion to Zhongzuo is definitely a sure thing.
In front of him, with nearly 3,000 imperial troops in his hands, it is undoubtedly the best opportunity to achieve combat exploits.
If he can command these 3,000 imperial troops to inflict heavy losses on the Eighth Route Army, Shao Zuo is sure that he has not only achieved a combat feat that can be promoted from Shao Zuo to Zhongzuo, but also has the experience of serving as a wing commander and commanding an infantry wing of the imperial army to fight!
When the time comes, it is possible to be directly promoted to the captain of the Central Zuo United.
"Da Da Da ......"
Suddenly, a string of gunfire from the forward troops pulled Shao Zuo back to reality from his dream!
"Sir~ There are troops of the Eighth Route Army in front of us to block us!" A second lieutenant rushed over panting and reported.
Seeing that Shao Zuo was not angry and laughed, he added: "Judging from the intensity of the gunshots, the other party only has two companies of troops in the sky!" ”
Shao Zuo reacted quickly: "This is the area occupied by the imperial army, even if there are troops of the Eighth Route Army, it is a small group of Eighth Route Army that has escaped the blockade of the imperial army!" ”
"It's the fat that comes to your mouth...... Order the forward troops, attack right away, and kill them! ”
"Four hundred people were sent from the recruit army to reinforce the forward troops, and the two flanks were outflanked, and the Eighth Route Army that had the courage to block us in our occupied area must be elite, and they must be killed to prevent future troubles!"
"Hi~" The lieutenant adjutant standing next to him did not raise any objections and immediately rushed to the battlefield.
"Da Da Da ......"
In less than five minutes, more intensive gunfire rang out in the direction of the battlefield.
"Something is wrong!" Soon, the excitement on Shaozuo's face was gone, and his brows were wrinkled into big Sichuan characters!
"The gunfire is not all light and heavy machine gun fire, it seems that there is also the sound of large-caliber machine guns bursting out!"
As soon as Shao Zuo, who was frowning and talking to himself, finished speaking, a communications officer rushed over with a face full of fear.
"Sir, it's over...... The Striker Force is finished! ”
"Anti-aircraft machine guns, the Eighth Route Army that stood in front of us was also armed with anti-aircraft machine guns...... It's so cruel that as long as the heavy machine gun bullets flying over touch us, the soldiers will be beaten to the point that they will lose their arms and legs, or be killed directly, and we will not even have a chance to fight back before we are killed in a large area! ”
"Da Da Da ......"
At this moment, the familiar and unfamiliar gunfire rang out again, very close to him, not far from the flank.
Then I saw that hundreds of recruits had gathered not far away, and they fell into chaos.
On the top of the mountain seven or eight hundred meters away, six thick tongues of fire suddenly appeared. Under the sweep of these tongues of fire, the recruits who had not really been on the battlefield were swept to the ground in patches like ripe crops.
Wherever the thick and dense bullets flew, there was a very bloody picture of broken arms everywhere!
"Sure enough, it's an anti-aircraft machine gun...... The light and heavy machine guns we are equipped with are not opponents at all~" Shao Zuo, whose face suddenly turned pale, exclaimed loudly.
Then he ordered: "Artillerymen, open fire immediately, kill the anti-aircraft machine gun position of the Eighth Route Army on the hill 800 meters away, destroy their anti-aircraft machine guns, and fire at me now!" ”
"Da ......" Before the order was fully transmitted, several commanding heights on both sides of the highway rang out gunshots that made him terrifying.
On the highway, as long as it is a place where the imperial army gathers, anti-aircraft machine gun bullets will fly over like money, causing a bloody storm!
"Sir~The artillery squad was attacked, and the troops were almost lost~"
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns also appeared on the high ground behind us, and the rear guard troops suffered great losses, and our rear roads were blocked!"
Shao Zuo, who had a miserable face, finally reacted: "Eight Grid Tooth Road, so many Eighth Route Army, they want to annihilate us completely!" ”
"Blocking the road with anti-aircraft machine guns, no matter how strong we are, it is impossible for us to rush over the road under anti-aircraft machine gun fire, what a ruthless move!"
