Before being ordered to rush to reinforcements, Miyata Yukinan never imagined that the battle would be so bad, and the enemy did not see a shadow, but he suffered heavy casualties. The casualties of hundreds of officers and soldiers www.biquge.info really made Miyata Konan feel that he had encountered a tough opponent.

But even so, in order to find out what was wrong with the train, he still led the remaining troops to the Wangzhuang stronghold. It didn't take long for him to appear near Wangzhuang's stronghold, but he was still bombed first.

Looking at the dozen or so team members who were injured and killed, Miyata Konan felt that time had passed incomparably long, and asked, "How far is it from the Wangzhuang stronghold now?" Your Excellency the Garrison, they should be there soon, right? ”

'Your Excellency Shaozuo, this is already the defense area of Wangzhuang's stronghold, and you can see the stronghold when you turn this corner. According to the calculation of time, the large army that came from the road should have almost arrived. ’

Knowing that it was not far from the stronghold of Wangzhuang, Miyata Konan still gritted his teeth and insisted: "Order the troops, continue to advance!" ”

Standing on the roadbed of the railroad tracks, he could clearly see the brightly lit Wangzhuang stronghold above, and Miyata Konan could vaguely see the defenders walking around the stronghold from time to time. Judging by the number of people, it seems that there are quite a few.

Seeing this scene, Miyata Konan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yo, these damn sneak attackers, they finally showed up." On my orders, send a small team to meet the large force, and send another team to test the enemy's firepower. ”

Originally, he had arrived at the Wangzhuang stronghold, but he still didn't see the shadow of the train, which made Miyata Yukinan feel very uneasy. It was only when he saw that there was an open space in front of the tracks, and he knew that if he continued to move forward, he would inevitably be hit.

In this case, with the troops he is currently commanding, there is no way to take the strong stronghold in front of him. After some consideration, Miyata Konan finally decided to hold off these sneak attackers first and wait for the arrival of the follow-up army.

Zhao Tiehu, who was standing on the position, looked at the little devil lying under the stronghold, and said the same: "Lao Liu, tell Li Chengwu, wait a minute, if the little devil dares to approach, he will fight me, and the heavy machine gun fire point will not be exposed for the time being." ”

'Yes! ’

Li Chengwu, who was ambushed in the forward position, also stared at the little devil not far from the position, and said from time to time in his heart: "Little devil, get closer!" I've been waiting for most of the night, and Lao Tzu hasn't opened yet! ”

Previously, Sun Cheng led a detachment to the Wujiazhuang stronghold to attack and disturb, and Li Chengwu was somewhat envious. As the leader of the detachment, Li Chengwu also hoped that the second detachment under his command would be able to earn more combat fights and accumulate more actual combat experience and meritorious service.

After Liu Cheng came from the trench, hearing Zhao Tiehu's explanation, Li Chengwu also said in a timely manner: "Listen up, wait for the little devil to come over, greet the light machine gun with a rifle, and the heavy machine gun is not allowed to fire, remember?" ”

'Remember! This little devil is not enough for us to play a few rounds! ’

With the increase in the number of battles, many combat members have lost the fear of little devils as before. The continuous victory and actual combat training have greatly improved their marksmanship and skills and tactics compared with before.

With the second detachment ready to fight, Zhao Tiehu stared at the little devil's actions from time to time through the binoculars. Seeing that the little devil actually divided his troops and sent a team to run over the kilometer, he guessed some reasons.

'Lao Liu, it seems that this devil commander is very clever and knows that they alone will not be able to take our position. This team is probably going to pick up the large troops coming from the road, and it looks like there is a tough battle to fight later!

So, you stare here first, and I'll go and look at the artillery position. Although we don't need to block for a long time, we also need to make some preparations for retreat in advance. It is necessary to make sure that the evacuation into the forest is successful before dawn. ’

'Okay! I'll just keep an eye on it here, I guess the little devil won't make any big noise for a while. ’

Even Liu Cheng wanted to go to the artillery position in the rear, but he knew that compared to Zhao Tiehu's artillery skills, he was far behind. What's more, the artillery positions set up this time are still different from the previous ones.

Of the infantry guns and mountain guns captured from the train earlier, Zhao Tiehu asked people to keep four of each. At present, four infantry guns and four seven-five mountain guns are placed in the artillery positions behind the stronghold, ready to join the next defensive operation at any time.

With these eight real artillery, Liu Cheng felt that it would be no problem to block the small devil's army for two hours. And this time the artillery of the brigade can be regarded as a real chance to have an addiction to artillery.

When Zhao Tiehu temporarily came to the back of the stronghold to explain the performance and operation specifications of the artillery to these artillerymen who only had theoretical knowledge but lacked actual combat experience, the infantry squad sent by Miyata Konan quickly met with Li Chengwu's second detachment.

Compared with Li Chengwu and others, who were exposed to the open ground and hiding in the forward position, they had trenches as cover, and they only needed to aim and shoot well. Looking at the soldiers who kept falling, Miyata Konan couldn't help but feel distressed.

Looking at the defenders in the forward position, it seemed that they only used rifles and light machine guns, Miyata Xingnan said with a headache: "Baga, the commander of this unit is very smart, and their firepower has not been exposed at all!" ”

'Shao Zuo, let the grenadier team go over and help!' The enemy has the advantage of terrain, and with only a small team, it is difficult to test their true firepower. Judging from the sound of gunfire, our enemy this time is only very tricky! ’

The captain lying next to Miyata Xingnan has also fought many times with the Chinese Anti-Japanese War troops. In the past, most of the anti-Japanese troops he encountered were full of firepower as long as they engaged the Japanese army. And this time, the enemy seems to be able to fight with ease.

What worries the captain the most is that the marksmanship of these defenders seems to be very good. In the process of firing, the infantry squad responsible for testing the firepower also continued to suffer casualties. Judging by the frequency of gunshots, the other side fought patiently.

This patience is partly a sign that the gunmen were steady and did not shoot indiscriminately because they were attacking. From this point, the captain judged that the Eighth Route Army occupying the stronghold of Wangzhuang was only the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Faced with the captain's suggestion, Miyata Konan nodded and said, "Yo Xi, let the grenadier team go over and cooperate, and focus on hitting the opponent's machine gun." Damn, this sneak attack on our troops is really the main force of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Even if the two warring sides only clashed at the forward positions, judging from the situation of the two sides, Miyata Xingnan also began to suspect that the troops who attacked the stronghold and military column of Wangzhuang this time should be the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

At present, the Japanese army in the southwest of Shanxi Province is vigorously encircling and suppressing the anti-Japanese troops in various places, and the Eighth Route Army, which did not dare to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the southwest of Shanxi Province, dispatched an elite unit to Taigu to sabotage and attack the Japanese army's logistics supply lines, which is also an effective tactic for breaking the siege.

Seeing the little devil carrying a grenadier, he began to set up a firing position behind the attacking team. Li Chengwu also said in a timely manner: "Grenadier, kill the grenadiers of the little devils and give them a little color!" ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

The grenadiers who stayed in the position had long been prepared before the opening of the cannon. By the time the Imp Grenadier Squad began to set up their grenadiers, they had already adjusted their firing angles and were ready to participate in defensive counterattacks.

With Li Chengwu's order, the grenadiers of the second detachment carried out a counterattack in advance. With grenades being thrown out of the position, the Japanese grenadiers who saw this scene immediately panicked: "Enemy shelling, hidden!" ”

Using the same grenadier, the grenadiers of the Eighth Route Army on the position occupy the advantage of terrain and line of sight. They were swift and accurate, landing grenades into their newly established positions, making it impossible for the Japanese grenadiers to counterattack.

Miyata Konan, who was watching the battle from the rear, also saw this scene, and said a little helplessly: "Yaga, damn it, how can they have our grenadiers, and the number doesn't seem to be a lot!" How does this make us attack? Get the grenadiers down! ”

For many Japanese troops, when they clashed with the Chinese anti-Japanese war forces, they often had an advantage in weaponry. But today, when they encountered Zhao Tiehu's combat detachment, they found that they did not have any advantages at all.

In terms of weaponry, Zhao Tiehu's combat detachments were basically equipped with Japanese-style equipment. In terms of terrain advantages, Zhao Tiehu occupied the stronghold of Wangzhuang, and was fully able to condescendingly defend against the Japanese attack.

The most important thing is that the Japanese army came from a long distance, but Zhao Tiehu's combat team waited for work, built and strengthened fortifications in advance, and waited for the arrival of the Japanese army. Such an offensive battle made Miyata Konan really feel that it was difficult to make progress.

Even if the Japanese army is now engaged in fire, only the defenders of the forward positions are fighting. The attacking Japanese army knew very well that in the positions and pillboxes behind, it was believed that there was still the Eighth Route Army hidden. In terms of troops, the Japanese army also did not have an advantage.

'Shao Zuo, let the infantry squad also withdraw! The stronghold of Wangzhuang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you want to defeat the defenders on the position, you must wait for the arrival of our large army. Wait for the artillery squadron to arrive and have the artillery squadron carry out long-range artillery shelling on them. ’

At the suggestion of the accompanying captain, Miyata Konan quickly ended the tentative attack. Instead, martial law began at the three-way intersection, waiting for the arrival of a large follow-up force. As soon as the Japanese retreated, Zhao Tiehu also did not order to continue the attack.

What Zhao Tiehu needs at the moment is time, and he will be happy to relax if the Japanese army does not attack. Ordering the team members in the trenches to continue to strengthen the trenches, Zhao Tiehu observed the movements of the Japanese troops in front of the position through a telescope.

Divide the infantry gun and the mountain gun into two artillery positions and begin to adjust the angle of the shelling. He believed that after the arrival of the large Japanese army, the shelling of the two artillery positions should give an unexpected surprise to the little devils who came from afar.

Adjust the angle of the shelling in advance, and wait for the little devil to arrive, and the artillerymen of the two artillery positions only need to keep firing. And the landing point of the cannonball calculated by Zhao Tiehu is believed to make the little devil feel very uncomfortable.

At least in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, even if the little devils who came in the follow-up would pull artillery. It is believed that the artillery they pulled is unlikely to exceed the caliber of the 75 mountain guns. This also means that his artillery equipment is not inferior to the little devil at all!
