The hijacking of the military column related to the safety of the front-line sweeping troops undoubtedly shook the Japanese troops around Taigu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to ensure the safety of the front-line sweeping troops to the greatest extent, the defenders of the cities in Jinzhong basically began to get busy.

Some of the garrisons tried their best to deliver supplies, weapons and ammunition to the frontline troops. However, in several counties close to Taigu, the Japanese army almost rushed out to support, hoping to recapture the looted materials, weapons and ammunition.

Under this urgent situation, the Japanese troops in several counties around Taigu gathered overnight and left for Taigu. When it was dawn, the Japanese troops who had arrived from Pingyao and Jiexiu arrived at the foot of Yunling Mountain.

The Japanese troops who converged in Taigu and Qi County searched the mountains in a three-way encirclement posture, trying to find out Zhao Tiehu and others who were hiding in the Yunling Mountains. For these Japanese troops, while exterminating the Eighth Route Army into the mountains, they also wanted to recover supplies.

Entering the vast mountains, the Japanese puppet army who participated in the search, encirclement and suppression also really realized that searching in the mountains was not as simple as imagined. The further you go into the mountains, the more rugged the road and the more lush vegetation becomes.

Compared with them who walked in the open, the Eighth Route Army in the mountains was in the dark when they hid in advance. Under such circumstances, there is no doubt that the danger of the search force is higher than that of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the shadows.

The first to engage in the battle was the forward reconnaissance post of the combat detachment. After receiving Zhao Tiehu's order, the forward scouts knew very well that what they had to do was very simple, which was to introduce these Japanese puppet troops into the ambush circle in the mountains.

After a shot, looking at the puppet army lying down collectively, the forward reconnaissance sentries also felt crying and laughing. Fortunately, after the puppet army lay down, the little devil who followed behind the puppet army still heroically began to fight back.

For these little devils who counterattacked, the reconnaissance sentinels who occupied favorable terrain naturally responded unceremoniously. After a shootout, several little devils also fell in a pool of blood, but the scout sentry was unharmed.

'Fight and retreat, don't get entangled with the little devils here!' ’

The squad leader who led the team gave the order to retreat at the right time, and he really wanted to entangle with the little devil here to the end. It is estimated that it will not take much time for the small devils to form an encirclement of them, and it will not be easy to withdraw at that time.

Looking at the reconnaissance sentry retreating on the mountain beam, the little devil Jun Cao, who was in charge of directing the attack, also shouted: "Kill a few and give it!" ”

Under its urging, the puppet army that was lying down could only continue to charge. It's just that for the pursuing Japanese puppet army, even if the Eighth Route Army is not far away from them, it is almost impossible to catch up quickly in the mountains.

'Bite them, you can't let them run!' ’

Jun Cao urged his troops to pursue quickly, while keeping an eye on the fleeing reconnaissance sentries on the mountain beams. Just when some little devils were running fast in front, they suddenly noticed several explosions around them.

The explosion sounded, and several chasing little devils immediately screamed and fell to the ground. The little devils who were chasing in front were just about to turn back to check the situation, but found that an explosion sounded around them.

'Yaga! Stop moving forward and watch your step, there are mines buried in the road! ’

Some of the little devil scouts quickly reacted that these explosions were caused by grenades. And these grenades, naturally, are the masterpieces of the Eighth Route Army. In the process of pursuit, how could they have found a hidden tripping mine!

As soon as the chasing little devils stopped, the remaining chasing little devils could only watch the few Eighth Route Army, and soon disappeared from their sight. Faced with this situation, the pursuing Japanese puppet army felt very aggrieved and helpless.

If it is said that the treacherous thunder array on the pursuit road made the Japanese puppet army in Soshan miserable. Then the large Japanese army that rushed from Pingyao to support ran into the ambush circle set up in advance by a detachment without noticing it at all.

The soldiers of the detachment hidden on the mountain beam, looking at these little devils who were chasing the sentinels at the front, all put their fingers quietly on the trigger, waiting for the detachment leader Sun Jie to give the order to open fire.

According to the jungle combat experience taught to them by Zhao Tiehu, they did not go to the ditch, and a detachment set up an ambush on the mountain beam. On the other hand, the little devils who were chasing did not know that they had followed the forward sentinels and crashed into the ambush circle of a detachment.

Looking at the relatively open valley flat land in front, the little devil Jun Cao, who was chasing behind, also said loudly: "Speed up and follow these dirt roads." Where they ran, there were definitely no mines, and they accelerated forward! ”

It is true that there are no mines buried in this open valley, but on the mountain beams on both sides of the open valley, there are more than 30 soldiers lurking in a detachment. After grabbing the military column, there was naturally no shortage of weapons for all combat units.

In addition, Zhao Tiehu knew that the number of combat detachments was small, so he deliberately asked Wu Zhongyi to select a large number of crooked machine guns from the weapons of the train. As for the heavy machine gun, Zhao Tiehu asked the independent battalion to carry it back to the base area.

After all, compared to the weight of the crooked handle machine gun, the heavy machine gun used by the Japanese army was heavier, which was not suitable for combat detachments to fight rapid movement warfare. According to Zhao Tiehu's order, as long as the combat detachments take advantage, they will leave, and they will not be entangled too much with the little devils.

The team of more than 30 people was equipped with more than a dozen light machine guns. Coupled with the large number of grenades and Japanese-made grenades carried by the soldiers of the combat detachment, the strength of their melee firepower is only beyond the imagination of the little devils.

Seeing that several Eighth Route Army soldiers with black guns began to run up the mountain, the little devils who were chasing naturally sped up. And a few sentries, when they ran halfway up the mountain, suddenly stopped running, and lay halfway up the mountain to shoot at the pursuing little devils.

Such a move undoubtedly caused more and more Japanese puppet troops to pursue, and even the Japanese grenadiers who accompanied the battle began to set up grenadiers in the valley, preparing to carry out long-range fire strikes on those Eighth Route Army lying on the mountainside.

It was at this time that seeing that there were already hundreds of Japanese puppet troops gathered in the valley, Sun Jie, who was also holding a crooked handle, yelled: "Comrades, fight!" ”

More than a dozen light machine guns opened fire at almost the same time, and the intertwined chains of bullets caught the Japanese puppet troops in the valley off guard. Those little devils who set up grenadiers were also frantically slaughtered by two machine guns.

'Not good! We were fooled! Quick, get out of the valley, quick, get out of the valley! ’

With such a fierce firepower, the Japanese puppet army, which had no cover, was almost suppressed in the valley as if they were slaughtered. When the machine guns were fired, some of the riflemen began to pull out grenades and grenades, which they threw into the valley below.

For a time, even the surviving Japanese puppet army lying in the valley was still unable to resist the splashing shrapnel, and the entire valley instantly became a slaughterhouse. The Japanese puppet army, which had not yet entered the valley, also showed a look of some joy.

The little devil officer who followed the troops and commanded the battle, looked at the troops suppressed in the valley, and naturally said very anxiously: "Grenadier, set up grenadiers on the periphery to suppress the machine gun fire of Tubalu, and the rest of the troops will attack from both sides!" ”

Just when the commander of the Japanese army decided to attack the flank of a detachment and rescue the large army trapped in the valley. Sun Jie, who had already changed the bullet chain once, said in a timely manner: "Comrades, prepare to retreat, the machine gunners will retreat first, and the rifles will cover!" ”

After the order was given, even some of the machine gunners looked a little reluctant. But looking at the machine guns that had run out of bullets, they didn't hesitate too much, picked up the machine guns and began to retreat. The other riflemen kept shooting the surviving imps.

The little devil who launched the rescue from the flank, the first thing he encountered was not the blocking of a detachment, but the treacherous thunder array buried on both sides of the mountain beam. This kind of frightening situation makes the little devils on the offensive flank seem scared every step forward.

Listening to the explosions coming from both sides, Sun Jie also realized that the little devils were touching from both sides, and immediately said, "All retreat!" ”

After giving this order, Sun Jie also didn't care about how many live little devils there were in the valley, picked up the machine gun and turned around and left. The other members of the palace also left one after another behind Sun Jie.

By the time the grenadiers of the little devil hit the grenade on the mountain beam, the machine gunners who had been buried there had already disappeared. This also means that all the grenades fired by the grenadiers are wasted.

The combat detachment, which had successfully retreated, glanced at the scene of the valley below from the top of the hill, and they were very happy to see that there were hardly any people standing. The attack of more than ten minutes must have also severely damaged this large army of little devils who searched the mountains.

As long as they continue to pursue, they will always find the next opportunity to strike. Compared with the combat detachment in the mountains, which has multiple material supply points, the pursuing little devils need to constantly ask for supplies from the bottom of the mountain, and their actions are undoubtedly more limited.

The gunfire of a detachment ambushing the Japanese troops in Pingyao also attracted the other two troops who searched the mountain. Such a fierce gunfire made the other two troops of Soshan mistakenly think that the Japanese army in Pingyao and the large army of the Eighth Route Army were involved.

As a result, when they rushed to support from both sides, what they saw was the scene of the little devils stationed in Pingyao and starting to clean up the mess. The corpses and wounded who kept gathering together made the other two little devils also frightened.

'Tanimura-kun, how can this be? Have you been ambushed by a large force of the Eighth Route Army? ’

The first Japanese commander to arrive with his troops asked the Japanese commander in Pingyao next to him. In his opinion, it was only by encountering an ambush by a large army that it was possible to have such huge casualties in such a short period of time.

The commander of the Japanese army in Pingyao nodded with a gloomy expression: "Yes! The firepower of these dirt roads is very high, and the number of their machine guns is very large. While we were pursuing, we accidentally fell into an ambush. These damn dirt roads! ”

In addition to cursing, this Japanese soldier really didn't know what else to say. When the Japanese army arrived from another search, the three of them also discussed and analyzed the troubles they had suffered in searching the mountains before.

The three of them seemed to understand that they were afraid that their respective troops would have to pay a lot of money if they continued to search blindly in this way. But as far as the current situation is concerned, they have to continue to search, and they can't let these Eighth Route Army escape, right?
