For the Japanese infantry brigade that was ordered to rush to Zaozhuang to fight, although they were harassed by a lot of attacks along the way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But they don't feel any fear of this kind of raid and harassment warfare that shoots a few shots and runs, or lays a few mines to slow down the march.

Even in the eyes of many officers, this kind of attack was the Eighth Route Army's fear that they would arrive in Zaozhuang and make a desperate struggle. After all, an infantry brigade with thousands of elites could not be provoked by the Eighth Route Army, which was good at guerrilla warfare.

It is precisely this kind of self-confidence, coupled with Zhao Tiehu, an operational commander who does not play cards according to common sense. Only led more than 1,000 troops, Zhao Tiehu dared to ambush an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, which was strong and strong.

I guess there is no one else with this guts!

But in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, his battle plan looks very bold, but in fact it is not much risk. The reason is that they have the advantage of terrain and raids. In this case, even if the little devil wants to fight back, he has to think about it.

Looking at the shells that kept coming from both sides, the temporary camp that the little devils had just set up was reduced everywhere to a place where shells raged. In particular, the places where cars are parked have become the hardest hit areas by shelling.

In addition to the location of the car, the temporary warehouse used by the little devils to store supplies was also the focus of the shelling. As for the barracks tent of the little devils, the Eighth Route Army naturally would not let it go, and they were baptized again and again.

Faced with the artillery fire that lasted for nearly ten minutes and still did not subside, the commander of the Japanese brigade who fled from the temporary camp was very surprised: "Baga! What's going on? Who is ambushing us? ”

In the eyes of the commander of the Japanese brigade, the Eighth Route Army in Zaozhuang should not have such a firepower configuration. If it wasn't for the Eighth Route Army, it could be that in Zaozhuang, those timid and fearful Zhongyan Army. It doesn't seem to make sense!

On the contrary, an officer quickly reacted: "General, I think the ambush for us should be the Tuba Road in Zaozhuang." I don't know if the general still remembers, but we had a military train a while ago, and we were robbed by these dirt roads.

Moreover, Zaozhuang City was also captured once by Tubalu. At that time, the artillery we stored in the city should have been pulled away by the Dirt Eighth Road. These artillery pieces should be our infantry guns and 75 mountain guns. ”

The artillery and shells made in the country have now become life-threatening weapons, which really makes many little devil officers depressed. But they also really realized that the Eighth Route Army, which was operating in Zaozhuang, was far more powerful than they thought.

Just when Zhao Tiehu ordered the mortars to work in pairs and freely choose the target for shelling. The little devil's artillery brigade also set up artillery to prepare for a counterattack. Looking at the position of the little devil's artillery position, Zhao Tiehu also began to measure.

After determining the azimuth distance, he quickly said: "Quick, transmit these parameters back to the mountain artillery detachment as quickly as possible, these little devils still want to fight back, it's a dream!" Tonight, Lao Tzu has to cripple them! ”

As the artillery of the little devil began to counterattack, the target of the counterattack was the position where the mountain artillery of the Eighth Route Army came. It's a pity that after their shells crossed the top of the mountain, they all seemed to be a little off track and could not reach the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Looking at the little devil shells that fell at the foot of the mountain, the mountain artillery detachment that had just received the new parameters also stopped the shelling at the right time and readjusted the angle of the shelling. But this stop made many little devils feel that their artillery had made meritorious contributions.

The commander of the Japanese brigade, who was hiding in a hidden spot, looked at the number of shells that had weakened significantly, and said with satisfaction: "Yo! These artillery of the Eighth Road, when they meet the artillery of the Empire, are simply vulnerable!

Command the troops, start a counterattack. These dirt roads dare to ambush us here, and this time we can't let them escape no matter what. I'm going to wipe out all this dirt here! ”

With the order of the commander of the infantry brigade, the little devils who were scattered all over the valley were withdrawn from the temporary barracks one after another, and they also began to be assembled. At the same time, the infantry artillery detachment on the other side also stopped shelling at the right time.

After all, the shelling of the previous two artillery detachments had basically destroyed the temporary camp of the Japanese army. Looking at the temporary camp of the Japanese army in the light of the fire, many cars were still burning and exploding.

Now that the shelling has stopped, the little devils have begun to organize their men to recover some supplies and the wounded, trying to reduce the losses as much as possible. When the little devils began to counterattack, the Eighth Route Army, which was ambushed in the trenches of Shanliang, also began to counterattack.

Looking at the grenadier shells that fell from the mountain beam like hail, the little devil officer who was in charge of organizing the attack also gritted his teeth and said: "Baga! How can there be so many grenadiers in these dirt roads! Damn, what about our grenadier squad? ”

When the grenadiers of the little devil began to set up the grenadiers, these grenadiers said helplessly: "Shaozuo, Tubalu is very cunning, and their grenadiers have driven out of our longest range. We can't hit them! ”

'If the distance is not enough, then rush up for me, grab a forward position, and then launch a counterattack for me!' ’

Facing the Eighth Route Army, which occupied favorable terrain, the little devil officer knew that the casualties would be not small in such a rush. But he could only rush up hard, and try to narrow the distance between him and the Eighth Route Army.

But these little devils also don't know that at this distance, the Eighth Route Army also planted a lot of explosives. As the fuse was ignited, the little devil who just felt that he had successfully gained a foothold felt that his position had become upside down in an instant.

Looking at the attacking soldiers shrouded in the explosion, many of the little devil's officers couldn't help but scold: "Baga! These dirt roads are so insidious! If you go to another squadron, you will definitely take this forward position for me. ”

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who stayed in the trenches looked at the forward positions that had been cleared by the explosion, and their vision had broadened a lot. In the face of the little devil who made a comeback again, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army lying in the trenches also launched a counterattack.

Just in order to maximize the killing of the little devils, Zhao Tiehu still strictly ordered the machine gunners not to expose all their firepower as much as possible. Only arrange riflemen to constantly shoot and kill the little devils who are exposed to sight.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army hiding in the trenches, it is difficult for these little devils who are charging and attacking with their heads up to find a hidden place. Watching the gunshots ring out on the mountain, the soldiers constantly falling, and the little devil officers who organized the attack, they also felt that their hearts were dripping blood.

The commander of the infantry brigade, who was staying at the bottom of the mountain to watch the battle, looked at the troops attacking on both sides, and seemed to be making poor progress, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Baga! These trenches built by dirt and eight roads are very hidden, and they are really difficult to deal with! ”

After saying this, the commander of the infantry brigade said: "Pass my order to let the artillery brigade draw some artillery to support our infantry in the battle." Previously it was they who shelled us, and now it is our artillery's turn to fight back. ”

In the face of the Eighth Route Army, which had built trenches halfway up the mountainside, if the infantry charged alone, the casualties would definitely be not small. Only by using the power of artillery fire to destroy the positions built by these Eighth Route Army and clear the way for the infantry to attack.

Unfortunately, before the order of the commander of the infantry brigade could be conveyed to their artillery brigade, the mountain artillery detachment, which should have been pacified, roared again. One shell after another, accurately falling into the artillery positions of the little devils.

Seeing this scene, the commander of the Japanese infantry brigade said with a stunned face: "Na! Why wasn't the artillery of the Dirt Eighth Road destroyed? ”

As soon as their artillery opened fire, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army stopped. This made many little devils feel that the artillery power of the Eighth Route Army had been destroyed. That's why they let go of their hands and feet and began to fight back.

But now, the mountain artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army has begun to shell again, which means that they did not destroy the artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army at all just now. On the contrary, it was their artillery positions that were thus exposed to the artillery range of the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese infantry, who was attacking, saw a series of explosions from the artillery position, and many little devils also found it incredulous. But to add insult to injury, the infantry artillery that had previously stopped shelling on the other side also began to shell.

The target of the artillery detachment was the little devil who was in charge of the attack. Although it can only shell the little devils who attack on one side, this kind of shelling still makes the infantry of the little devils unable to organize effectively, and can only flee and dodge in embarrassment.

As for the little devils who are responsible for the attack on the other side, there are also mortars from the Eighth Route Army who are responsible for dealing with them. For a while, the balance of victory seemed to suddenly fall in favor of the Eighth Route Army. This made the attacking little devil seem a little angry.

Although they had a large number of remaining troops, their attack pale in the face of the Eighth Route Army, which had an overall superiority in artillery. Looking at the troops struggling and screaming under artillery fire, the mood of the commander of the infantry brigade can be imagined.

Zhao Tiehu, who had been observing the movements of the little devil, looked at the commandos gathered around him, but said calmly: "Prepare for action!" While the little devil is dizzy now, let's give the little devil another blow! ”

Leading dozens of commandos, Zhao Tiehu planned to make a counter-charge. After instructing the mortar detachment to be more careful not to accidentally injure his own people by shells, Zhao Tiehu led his men to jump out of the trench, intending to carry out a counter-charge.

The little devils who were hesitating to retreat, looking at the non-stop artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, many little devils no longer dared to continue the attack. He could only hide in the valley flats, waiting for the next battle instructions from his superiors.

At this time, Zhao Tiehu led a group of people to find the gap where a little devil was attacking, and began to look for the target of the assault. Not long after, the command camp under the protection of many Japanese troops was discovered by Zhao Tiehu.

That's what we're targeting! Comrades, remember to follow me and go straight to the other side's headquarters. As soon as the attacking imps retreated, we immediately moved to the other side. Once there, our artillery will provide cover. ’

Knowing dozens of commandos, it is difficult to resist the small devils who are overcrowded. But for Zhao Tiehu, there are not many little devils guarding the position of the erected wires at present, and if he finds the opportunity to attack once, he may really have a chance to succeed.

As long as they retreat to the other side of the mountain before the other little devils retreat, I believe that the commandos can also retreat safely. Although this is a great risk, for Zhao Tiehu, if he can destroy the command of the little devil, this battle will be really worth it!
