After lunch, Lu Yao rushed back, and according to the agreement, at nine o'clock that night, the two teams launched an attack on the two strongholds on the east and west sides at the same time.

After dinner, Ye Tufei made the final deployment before the attack, this time, he was determined to give Lu Yao some color to see if it was his Lu Yao's flat-level artillery or his Ye Tufei's counter-tactics.

At nine o'clock, Ye Tufei gave the order to attack.

Sure enough, as soon as the gunshots rang out outside, there were also gunshots inside.

Ye Tufei was relieved.

Two minutes later, the gunfire inside stopped, and Ye Tufei personally led his special operations team and rushed into the stronghold.

rushed all the way to the kill, but did not encounter any resistance.

After attacking the stronghold, looking at the corpses all over the stronghold, but there was no living person to greet him, Ye Tufei gasped.

But he didn't think about it anywhere else, just thinking about whether Liu Kui and Xiao Japan had fought for a jade burn, so he hurriedly called Liu Dali and looked at the corpses one by one.

One hundred and ten corpses were rummaged through, and Liu Dali failed to find Liu Kui.

At this time, Ye Tufei had doubts.

At this time, Lu Yao's words resounded in his ears, and Ye Tufei suddenly woke up and hurriedly ordered the entire line to withdraw from the stronghold.

However, it took too much time for Liu Dali to find Liu Kui's body, and by the time the brothers were ready to withdraw from the stronghold, it was too late.

Outside the stronghold, Little Japan has already touched up from four directions, forming a situation of encirclement of the stronghold.

Ye Tufei had no choice but to give up the idea of retreating, and instead ordered the brothers to quickly occupy a favorable defensive position, ready to fight to the death against the small Japan outside the stronghold.

Before the brothers could get ready, the shells of Little Japan rained down.

Artillery bombardment, artillery bombardment after infantry rush.

The infantry rushed, but could not rush up and continued to bombard.

Little Japan's tactics have always been so monotonous, but they have repeatedly shown miraculous results.

From the North China Battlefield, to the East China Battlefield, and then to the Central China Battlefield, Little Japan relied on such boring and monotonous tactics to defeat countless national armies, what is the reason?

To use an old Chinese saying, if you are not afraid of a thousand moves, you are afraid of one trick!

Little Japan's infantry artillery coordination has been practiced to the point of perfection.

Although Takahashi Shin commanded a unit belonging to the Japanese Army's Division B, compared with the Japanese Army's Division A, not only was it weaker in terms of firepower allocation and individual soldier quality, but also the coordination ability of this infantry and artillery was much weaker.

Rao is so, these Japanese troops belonging to the B division are still strong in infantry and artillery coordination.

Fortunately, Takahashi Nobu paid great attention to the quality of the project when building this stronghold, but fortunately, Takahashi Nobu could not call on many artillery units, and even better, these Japanese artillery did not have time to be equipped with anti-aircraft guns because they were too hasty.

Relying on the super individual combat ability of the special operations brigade, the bandit battalion brothers withstood the first round of artillery fire from Little Japan and then repelled the first round of infantry charge from Little Japan.

The first charge of the Japanese had just retreated, and the second round of artillery bombardment followed.

Before the second round of artillery fire stopped, the small Japanese infantry launched waves of charges at the bandit battalion from four directions at the same time.

This time, Little Japan adopted the tactic of three waves of charges (the so-called three waves of charges, that is, the charging troops are divided into three combat units, two of which are used to suppress and cover fire, and the other unit advances and charges, and after charging for a certain distance, it turns to fire suppression and cover, and then takes turns to advance and charge until it hits the enemy's position), which is more stable and effective than the two-wave charge tactics commonly used before. However, Ye Tufei's headquarters that attacked the stronghold only had less than 100 members of the Special Operations Brigade and more than 100 members of Deng Youfu's Company, and after withstanding two rounds of artillery bombardment and a round of tentative attacks by Little Japan, the two hundred brothers suffered many casualties, and only 130 or 40 people were able to enter the battle.

These forces had to be divided into four parts to resist the attack of small Japan, which was obviously not enough in terms of firepower.

Seeing that Little Japan's second round of charge was about to succeed, Ye Tufei gave the brothers an order to prepare for a white-knuckle battle.

At this moment, in the southeast and northeast directions, the shouts of rushing and killing suddenly sounded behind the little Japan, and the Japanese troops who were making final preparations in these two directions were forced to turn around to meet the enemy, so the brothers in the stronghold suddenly felt the pressure lessened, hurriedly adjusted their forces, and finally stabilized the situation temporarily.

Attacking from behind Little Japan were the remaining brothers of the bandit camp.

Including the logistics brigade, they were all armed, and nearly 400 guns, divided into two lines, attacked little Japan fiercely, in order to open a gap and rescue the brothers who were trapped in the stronghold.

However, Takahashi Nobu also kept a squadron of troops as a reserve, and at this moment, seeing the bandit battalion pouring out, Takahashi Nobu waved his hand and sent the reserve team out.

Nearly 600 bandit battalion brethren and more than 500 Japanese troops were intertwined.

The battlefield outside the stronghold soon turned into the most brutal white-knuckle battle.

If it is a single head-to-head fight, the brothers of the bandit battalion are not weaker than Little Japan, but in this position, Little Japan has a greater advantage, and the reason is that the special operations brigade with the strongest fighting ability is blocked in the stronghold.

The bandit battalion outside the stronghold numbered less than 400 brothers, and among them there was the weakest logistics brigade.

Seeing these brothers fall one by one, Ye Tufei's eyes turned red.

But no matter how red-eyed he was, he could only be in a hurry, and he organized several charges in a row, which were suppressed by the powerful firepower of the little Japanese, adding dozens of casualties.

If it is the psychological quality of ordinary people, in this case, if you are red-eyed and can only do it in a hurry, you will definitely lose your mind. But Ye Tufei is by no means an ordinary person, although he has red eyes, he has not lost his mind, he is indeed in a hurry, but he has not stopped thinking about countermeasures.

"Give an order to the brethren outside with a banner and storm the stronghold with all your might! Li Zhongyun quickly concentrated the brothers with good marksmanship to open the way for the brothers outside, keeping fifty brothers in each of the southwest, northwest and northwest directions, and the other brothers all concentrated on the east flank, suppressing the Japanese troops on both flanks. ”

At the most dangerous moment, Ye Tufei made the most correct decision.

After the brothers outside the stronghold received Ye Tufei's order, the brothers in the southeast, northeast, and northeast directions immediately began to break through to the stronghold in the middle.

At this time, Ye Tufei and Li Zhongyun's two spears also began to exert their true power.

In the past, due to the fierce suppression of small Japan's firepower, Ye Tufei and Li Zhongyun could only hide in the bunker and shoot, so that the shooting angle was reduced a lot, and the lethality was naturally greatly reduced.

But now, first, at the moment of crisis, Ye and Li can no longer care about life and death, and secondly, because most of the small Japanese forces have been invested in white-knuckle warfare, the intensity of firepower suppression on the stronghold has been reduced a lot.

With Ye Tufei and Li Zhongyun's firepower, the resistance of the little Japanese in front of the brothers outside was much smaller.

At this time, Takahashi Nobu made another order to let them into the base.

The main reason why Takahashi wanted to let these brothers into the stronghold was because he did not want more sacrifices from the Imperial warriors, and he wanted to besiege all the brothers in the bandit camp in the stronghold, and then uncover the second stage of the massacre with intensive artillery fire.

For Takahashi, he is confident that this is the most correct and effective strategy.

However, Takahashi was wrong, and he ignored another force on the battlefield, Lu Yao's troops.

Lu Yao was born in a guerrilla fight, and he had experienced a more brutal combat environment than today, and he had a lot of combat experience. This time, he led a reinforced regiment from the Yimeng base area to Erlang Mountain, a team of more than 1,400 people, he dissolved into more than 10 batches of teams with companies as a unit, day and night, after a journey of more than 400 miles, but did not let the little Japanese find traces.

The originally agreed attack time of nine o'clock, because Ye Tufei's side was a few minutes ahead of schedule, and Lu Yao's side was delayed by a few minutes, so it accidentally caused the result of simultaneous artillery fire on both sides of the east and west.

As a result, Takahashi Shin's ears were blindfolded by the cannon sound of the imperial army, and he did not even notice the cannon sound of the stronghold on the east side of the valley passage ten miles away.

What's more coincidental is that in order to be able to concentrate superior forces to achieve the goal of completely annihilating Ye Tufei's headquarters, Takahashi Shin temporarily ordered that the Japanese troops in the eastern stronghold also be transferred to the western front, and only a squadron of the Imperial Allied Army was stationed in the stronghold on the eastern front that night.

This order is not enough for Lu Yao to eat.

Five shells charged at once, and the squadron of the Imperial Allied Army was so frightened that it raised its hand and disarmed.

After cleaning up the stronghold on the eastern front, Lu Yao heard the rumbling cannon sound from the western front, secretly shouted that it was not good, and immediately sent a cavalry battalion to rush to Ye Tufei's aid as fast as possible.

The valley passage less than ten miles away is a matter of ten minutes for the cavalry battalion that is fast and whipped.

When the brothers of the bandit battalion finally broke a bloody way and rushed into the stronghold of the Western Front, and the little Japanese artillery was preparing for the third round of shelling, three hundred fast horses, camels and three hundred heroes, brandishing three hundred bright sabers, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, from the mouth of the valley, roaring, screaming, rushing out!

At this time, the Japanese troops on the periphery of the stronghold had just experienced a tragic white-knuckle battle, and at this time all the attention was on the stronghold in the center of the encirclement, and what was even more tragic was that in order to give the artillery enough space to fire, the whole Japanese army retreated back for more than 100 meters.

By the time little Japan reacted, it had lost the opportunity to deploy defensive firepower.

The cavalry battalion swept into the camp of Little Japan.

Human flesh and blood cannot resist the iron hooves of war horses, and the spears and bayonets of infantry cannot resist the condescending cavalry sabers.

The biggest difference is speed.

Three hundred cavalry rushed into the Japanese camp, and everywhere they went, there was a miserable howl!

In the stronghold, Ye Tufei raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army have arrived, rush out with me and kill Little Japan!" ”

The special operations brigade bore the brunt of the attack, the brothers of the infantry company followed closely, and the logistics brigade followed behind. Hundreds of red-eyed green forest heroes, wielding machetes and military spurs, rushed from the stronghold to Little Japan.

At this time, in the Japanese command post less than three hundred meters away from this meat grinder-like battlefield, Takahashi Nobu sighed heavily and ordered: "The whole army retreats!" ”
