Chapter 323: Battle of Niangzi Pass
The battle of Niangzi Pass started again, as the stone expected, because the soldiers' charge was too close to the general attack time of the 176 Brigade, so although the little devils were not caught off guard, they were also a little unable to react, and with the confidence of repelling the 176 Brigade charge before, the devils did not take this charge of the Eighth Route Army as a thing.
Therefore, when Shishi, Tie Niu, Miao Zhongzheng and others divided into several ways to attack, the devils only arranged troops in various passes step by step, and defended to the death.
At this moment, the lady is closed, and the actual situation of the devil's strength is not much different from what Han Xin expected, it does have the strength of a large team, but the establishment of this devil's brigade seems to be dissatisfied, and at the beginning, there were only more than 600 devil soldiers, and the captain was the devil's Shaozo Ida Qingsong.
Ida Aomatsu is a descendant of the Ida family, a large Japanese family, and is a descendant of the family, and has always been valued by the family, and many of his uncles are serving in the army.
Therefore, Ida Qingmatsu can be described as a young generation of Japanese generals with a monstrous background and an unlimited future.
However, this is not the most commendable part of him, the most admirable thing about Ida Qingmatsu is that although he was born in a big family that the world envies, he was destined to have his own halo because of the existence of his fathers as soon as he was born.
However, Ida Qingmatsu himself has never been arrogant because of this, and even has the idea of approaching the road and borrowing the back door.
Since he decided to put pen to paper, he has almost never relied on the strength of his family and relatives, but has come to this point step by step with his own ability.
Therefore, Jingtian Qingsong's military talent is undoubtedly very good, otherwise in the previous battle, Yang Shen would not have held thousands of troops of the 176 Brigade, and there was nothing to be done about the Niangziguan position, which was only garrisoned by most of the devil's standard brigade.
Of course, there are many reasons for the superior equipment of the Japanese army and the ferocity of artillery, but his personal command ability of Ida Qingsong is definitely indispensable.
"Captain, the enemy is about to step into our firing range!"
Just as Ida Qingsong was thinking while observing the movements of the Eighth Route Army with a telescope, the signal soldier suddenly came to report.
Ida Qingsong interrupted his observation, put down the binoculars and nodded, he didn't see any clue for the time being, so he had to take one step at a time and said: "Got it, defend according to the original plan!" ”
"Hey!"
The communication soldier retreated, and Ida Qingsong raised the telescope again to observe, he had always been confident in his intuition, but just now, his heart couldn't help but throb.
However, no matter how well Ida Qingsong observed, he still couldn't find any problems, and the Eight Roads just divided a few more ways to attack.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much!" Ida Qingsong comforted himself, after the words were finished, although the throbbing in his heart was still there, Ida Qingsong didn't care.
Then, Jingtian Qingsong echoed the brigade commander's explanation to himself before leaving, "This Niangziguan is an important place for soldiers, an important center connecting Hebei and Shanxi provinces, once the Eighth Route Army makes a move, this Niangziguan will definitely be their first target." Therefore, Qingsongjun, the position of Niangziguan must not be lost...... If you can't do anything, you should at least hold out until reinforcements arrive. ”
He remembered that he had patted his chest and said yes, and he had fought until now......
"By noon tomorrow at the latest, reinforcements will arrive, I don't believe it yet, it's just a dirt road!"
Ida Qingsong suggested to himself, and soon, the throbbing in his heart was put away by him, and his whole person became confident and calm again.
……
At 3:16 p.m., the first shot of the battle between the two sides was fired, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army divided into six routes and approached Niangzi Pass at the same time.
The lady was closed, under the command of Ida Qingsong, the casualties of the devil in the previous battle with the 176 Brigade were very small, and only more than 100 people were lost, so at this moment, there were more than 500 available soldiers under Ida Qingsong, all of whom were arranged by him.
And at the beginning of the battle, Ida Qingmatsu sniffed out the difference with his keen "sense of smell" that he had cultivated over the years.
The Eighth Route that this guy attacked was definitely a changeover, which was completely different from the Eighth Route soldiers who attacked before.
And Ida Qingsong soon discovered the biggest difference between this group of eight roads in the telescope:
They are too "calm", and they don't have the mania and madness of the guys who tackled the problems before, in other words, these eight roads don't seem to be here with the purpose of conquering Niangzi Pass.
They either use cover, or hang far under the dead corners of the mountain rocks, although they are also fighting against the devils, but they never have the momentum to move forward.
And this soon caused a stalemate, the offensive eight ways could not be attacked, and the defensive devils were never able to repel the attacking eight ways, and soon it became a stalemate.
"Captain, the soldiers have blocked the attack of the Dirt Eight Road!"
The adjutant came with an excited voice, but Ida Qingsong couldn't be happy, the scene in front of him was too weird, but he definitely didn't believe that Tubalu would not know the importance of time to them at this moment.
Once the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the Eighth Route Army's hard fighting these days would be in vain, and it would also affect the situation of the next major war between them and the Japanese army.
Therefore, the more the scene in front of him looked normal, the more uneasy Ida Qingsong's heart became.
At a certain moment, Ida Qingmatsu suddenly shouted: "Adjutant, telescope!" ”
"Hey!"
Jingtian Qingsong took the telescope and quickly swept it, and sure enough, he found the clue: at the foot of the mountain, there was an open-air tunnel everywhere, looking at the slight dust that was still raised from time to time and the guidance of the tunnel, good guy, it was the direction of Niangziguan.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army wants to get close to us by digging tunnels, and then catch us off guard.
Adjutant, immediately inform the soldiers to fire with all their might, and don't be idle with a few artillery squads, hit me hard, and be sure to stop them! ”
"Hey!"
Looking at the back of the adjutant's departure, Ida Qingsong was thoughtful, and he looked at the various passes attacked by the Eighth Route Army with the help of a telescope, and sure enough, tunnels were being excavated.
At this moment, Ida Qingsong finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of the enemy's strength, but he was afraid that he would not know anything about the enemy, and now that he knew the purpose and conspiracy of Tubalu, Ida Qingmatsu felt that he had nothing to worry about.
After all, some of the tactics that these Tubalu people can't put on the table: what kind of mine warfare, tunnel warfare, and soil work, in Ida Qingsong's view, are just some grandstanding jokes, and there is no introduction to military tactics, just Chinese-style tactics.
…… And just when Jingtian Qingsong was secretly mocking himself, on the side of the Eighth Route Army, the earthwork was being carried out in the stars and moons, and under the cover of these earthworks, the real mountain bombing plan designed by the stone was also approaching step by step......
