After Xu Shiyou gave the order to attack Lanfeng, Shen Yong and Liu Kun did not immediately order the troops to launch a feint, but ordered the fourth, fifth, sixth, supplementary and fire support battalions to quietly set up positions by the Zhanghe River east of Longwang Station, and then ordered the reconnaissance platoon and the guard company to camouflage the [***] reconnaissance troops and carry out feints against Xiaodingzhai, Dashizhai, and Sunzhai by the Zhanghe River, intending to transfer the devils out and annihilate them.

Shen Yong's method was mainly based on the fact that the army had been holding on here for a period of time, and there must be mines buried in front of the position. Although Shen Yong and the others knew that the combat effectiveness of the 27th Division of the Yue Army was average, after all, the 27th Division was based on a wing of the Reading Brigade of the Zhutun Army in North China, and the old devils of one wing led the recruits of two wings, and the combat will of the 27th Division should be relatively tenacious. Exposing the troops to the fire of devils to carry out a strong attack is purely sick!

Gao Genbao, the commander of the guard company of the Fifth Regiment, was a soldier of the 18th Regiment of the Old Red Army, and was assigned to the Second Battalion after being rescued at Gulingtou, and later expanded with the Second Battalion to the Second Guard Regiment and the Red 12th Division.

Wang Tongsheng originally wanted to select him into the sniper team, but unfortunately his cultural level was a little low, and he was the platoon commander of the main force, so he had to give up in the end. However, when the sniper brigade was training in Xi'an, it selected a group of outstanding shooters from various units for training and sent them back to various units to be used as special marksmen. Gao Genbao participated in the training, his shooting skills were improved, and when he was fighting, he basically did not miss the gun, and the soldiers gave him the nickname "One Shot".

After Gao Genbao accepted the task, he separated the three platoons of the whole company, let the reconnaissance platoon lead the team, and pounced on Xiaodingzhai, Dashizhai, and Sunzhai, and he and instructor Liu Xi followed behind the platoon with two heavy machine guns and two 60 mortars and four grenadiers of the fire support platoon, and directly pounced on Dashizhai.

At this time, Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu had just received an order from General Terauchi Shouichi, knowing that the heavy army group on the front line of Xuzhou would carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of southwest Lu early tomorrow, and the 38th Division would also be transferred to the southwest Lu region to take up the task of guarding southwest Lu.

Although Honma Masaharu is a hungry ghost, although he is a figure such as Zhao Kuo and Ma Yan, his military theoretical literacy is there, and he knows that the large army should be more vigilant before acting, and strictly orders all defense lines to strengthen their defenses and strictly prevent the sneak attack of the [***] team. Therefore, all the devil strongholds on the front line of Sanyi Village turned on their searchlights to illuminate the front of the position.

As soon as Gao Genbao saw this formation, he knew that the little devil was very vigilant, so he hurriedly called a platoon leader and asked him to lead the soldiers to do some feints to attract the attention of the little devil.

Sure enough, as soon as there was a movement among the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army here, the sentries on the devil's position noticed it, and the sound of passwords and bolts was heard.

Gao Genbao smiled, asked for the Bayi automatic rifle from the communicator's hand, and aimed at a devil who was looking around with a gun ghost head on the opposite side is shot, and directly hit the little devil on his back and facing the sky.

This time it was lively, and the crooked pendulum on the devil's position screamed, and the bullets hit the dust in front of the soldiers.

Gao Genbao ordered in a low voice: "Free fire, two shots per person!" ”

What is the main force? That is, well-trained, tenacious, able to fight well, invincible, invincible. The 2nd Brigade and the 5th Regiment are well-deserved main forces, and their combat effectiveness is naturally nothing to say. As soon as Gao Genbao gave the order, the soldiers hidden on the ground did not hurry to find the target and began to counterattack.

The officers at all levels of the little devils are all graduates of military academies, and they all have tactical minds, and they know that at this time, their large troops are encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei, southern Hebei, and Hebei, and the situation in eastern Henan is very delicate, and no one can tell whether the main force of the first theater of the [***] team on the opposite side will launch a counteroffensive when their troops are empty. Therefore, Gao Genbao's shot woke up all the little devils on the front line of Lanfeng, and the officers naturally reported it layer by layer in a hurry, and the soldiers shot in a panic.

The next battle made the little devil even more frightened, because the squadron [***] didn't seem to have many people, and it didn't seem to have heavy firepower, but it was this sparse gunfire that made the imperial soldiers on the position keep falling. That marksmanship is a bit evil!

Seeing that the soldiers had finished firing two bullets, Gao Genbao ordered in a low voice, "Withdraw!" The first platoon and the fire support platoon retreated with the fighters of the reconnaissance platoon, until they retreated to a distance of about 300 meters.

It made sense for Gao Genbao to order a retreat, because the little devil had already been enraged, and the infantry guns, grenadiers, and heavy machine guns all rang out, covering a row of places that had been hidden just now. If the platoon does not withdraw, the casualties will be great.

The little devil fought for a while, and when he saw that the [***] team on the opposite side did not move, he stopped shooting, and was busy carrying corpses, rescuing the wounded, and reporting the battle situation to his superiors.

At this time, Gao Genbao waved his hand, and with a platoon and a fire support platoon, he touched it again. This time, Takanebo was not polite, and ordered the heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenadiers of the fire support platoon to establish a position, and then moved away from the little devils.

The little devil thought that it was a small reconnaissance unit of the [***] team that had been beaten away, and was busy rescuing the wounded and carrying the corpses, but where did he think that the [***] team had touched it again, and it was a heavy machine gun, mortar, and grenadier canister together, and it was knocked down at once. The angry devil officer shouted and cursed "Baga, Baga", and at the same time ordered the infantry artillery, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine guns to open fire and destroy the fire positions of the [***] team.

Gao Genbao only let the mortar and grenadier shoot two shells each, and let the heavy machine gun hit a bullet chain, so he ordered the fire support faction to transfer, and he took a platoon to fire another shot each, and hurriedly retreated.

At this time, the army observed clearly by the moonlight and searchlight that the squadron was indeed a small force, and the infantry seemed to be protecting the heavy firepower.

The devil, who had observed clearly, immediately dispatched two armored vehicles, covered a squadron of infantry out of the position, and chased after this extremely cunning squadron.

The second platoon attacked Xiao Ding Zhai and the third platoon attacked Sun Zhai, the situation was the same as that of the first platoon, they had no heavy firepower, the moonlight was so good, and the little devil's searchlight was bright and bright, they would naturally find that the middle [***] team was just a small reconnaissance force, and it was an extremely cunning Chinese unit. At this time, the little devil was enraged by the casualties brought to them by this small unit, forgot about the battle ban of Terauchi Shouichi, and chased after him murderously.

The troops that the little devils caught up with were actually not many, only three or four hundred people, which already made Shen Yong and Liu Kun overjoyed. You must know how long it has been since the Fifth Regiment of the Sect recovered Luzhong that it has been since it ate devil meat and drank devil blood? The cadres and soldiers are all anxiously screaming, and even some cadres have reported to Liu Kun and asked to be transferred to the First Brigade, if it really doesn't work, it is okay to train the Third Brigade, the Fourth Brigade, and the Fifth Brigade, and you can't stay in the Second Brigade and always train!

The little devil came up, and the armored car at the head turned the headlights brightly, and from time to time they fired a burst of machine gun fire.

These 27th divisions turned out to be the Reading Brigade of the North China Zhutun Army, with a total of two infantry wings, which were the main culprits in launching the Lugou Bridge. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Reading Brigade of the North China Zhutun Army was stationed in the Pingjin area, with one wing stationed in Fengtai and one wing stationed in Tianjin. The wing stationed in Tianjin was completely wiped out by the instructor, and only the infantry wing living in Fengtai remained. However, before the little devils launched the Lugou Bridge Incident, they strengthened their troops, and only this one infantry wing was left with a lot of troops, and the army supplemented the troops from the country and expanded them into the 27th Division of the three-unit system, with the 27th Infantry Regiment under its jurisdiction, the 27th Wing of the Search Wing, the 27th Wing of the Mountain Artillery, the 27th Wing of the Engineers, the 27th Wing of the Heavy Troops, the Signal Corps, the Ordnance Service Corps, the Sanitary Corps, the Sick Horse Factory, and the 1st to 4th Field Hospitals, with a total strength of more than 18,000 troops.

Although the 27th Division was supplemented with a large number of new recruits, the grass-roots officers were all from the original Tun Army's Reading Force Brigade. These guys are a bunch of war maniacs who have never seen the [***] team in their eyes. After the instructor eliminated the devil infantry wing stationed in Tianjin, although the officers of the Reading Brigade of the Zhutun Army knew that the instructor of the Eighth Route Army was strong in combat, they always believed that the Eighth Route Army adopted a sneak attack tactic, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army died in their sleep. If you open up the stance, not to mention anything else, just the stabbing skills of the soldiers of the imperial army can sweep the dirt eight roads all over the ground.

After the defense of eastern Henan, these devils thought that the Chinese [***] team in front of them was easy to fight, they were not Liu Yimin's instructors, they did not have such strong combat effectiveness, and their tactics were much duller, and they could take the initiative to attack with the combat effectiveness of the imperial army and completely defeat the troops in the first theater. However, General Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma did not see it that way, believing that the 27th Division had a large number of recruits and limited combat effectiveness, and that it could only take a defensive position in eastern Henan, and they also abandoned many positions that the 14th Division had worked so hard to fight.

The junior officers of the 27th Division had long been dissatisfied with the decision of the Earl Terauchi and His Excellency the Division Commander, and considered it an insult to them. However, due to military discipline, they had to obey orders. However, due to the successful launch of the Lugou Bridge Incident, the commander of the Sutun Army, Kazuki Kiyoshi, the chief of staff, Hashimoto Group, the brigade commander, Kawabe Shozo, and the first wing commander Mutaguchi Ryoya, etc., were all promoted one after another. The orders of Shouichi Terauchi and Masaharu Honma undoubtedly blocked the way for these fanatical officers to get promoted and make a fortune, where can they be willing!

The attack of the Fifth Regiment was regarded as providing an excuse for these grassroots officers to attack and retaliate, and they immediately waved their troops to chase after them.

As the guard company and reconnaissance platoon of the Fifth Regiment gradually converged, the pursuing devils gradually concentrated and plunged into the ambush circle of the Fifth Regiment.

Shen Yong's eyes lit up like stars in the sky, staring excitedly at the devil who was chasing quickly.

Seeing that the little devil arrived at the Zhang River and entered the ambush circle, Shen Yong waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

The Eighth Route Army opened fire, and a few rockets directly tore apart the devil's armored car. Immediately afterwards, the shells of infantry guns, mortars, and grenadiers fell in the pursuit queue of the devils, and the light and heavy machine guns were happily fired, and the bullets were sprinkled on the pursuing little devils like water.

The Fifth Regiment is the main force, with more than 3,000 people in the whole regiment, and there are too few devils, basically ten Eighth Route Army fighting a little devil, and many soldiers don't even have a chance to shoot a shot, and the little devil has already been beaten down. Only the dozens of devils at the back saw the opportunity early, and when they saw that the momentum was not right, they ran back to the ground with a rolling belt, wanting to run back to the position for help. It's a pity that the Eighth Route Army didn't give them a chance, the loud trumpet pierced the night sky, and the soldiers shouted and pounced, and followed the little devils until they chased them to the devil positions in the three villages of Xiaoding Village, Dashi Village, and Sun Village, and killed all the little devils who fled back, and then stopped the attack.

The captain of the Devil's Wing stationed in Sanyi Village got up when he heard the gunshots, and then received a report from the positions of Xiaodingzhai, Dashizhai, and Sunzhai, saying that they had been attacked and harassed by a small group of Chinese reconnaissance troops. This was followed by reports of attacks in other directions.

The captain of the Devil's Wing did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, saying that many positions had been attacked and harassed by the squadron [***], and judged that it was the reconnaissance surname attack before the squadron's large-scale attack, and asked His Excellency the division commander to make preparations as soon as possible.

Masaharu Honma slept with her lieutenant in her arms that night. This lieutenant was brought by Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma from the book.,Long thin skin and tender meat.,Can blow a good shakuhachi.,If you wear makeup.,More beautiful than ordinary women.。

After receiving a telegram from the North China Front Headquarters in the evening to adjust the operational arrangements, Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu examined it from the perspective of operational theory and felt that General Terauchi Shouichi's deployment was really brilliant, and hurriedly sent a telegram to Terauchi Shouichi, saying that he would resolutely carry out the orders of His Excellency the Commander and ensure the security of eastern Henan. After that, the defense line of the 38th Division and the 39th Division was adjusted, and the 38th Division was asked to prepare overnight, and early tomorrow morning, in cooperation with the Southern Front Group under the command of His Excellency Tada Jun, thoroughly wiped out southwest Lu, and handed over the defense affairs left behind to the 39th Division.

After arranging all this, Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, and he was quite a little complacent. Proudly, he called the adjutant, drank two glasses of sake, listened to a shakuhachi, and then took off the adjutant's clothes, hugged him to bed, and began to taste the backyard flowers.

Just as I was having fun, the phone on the desk rang. Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu was divided into the priorities and wanted to get up to answer the phone, but the little lieutenant actually resorted to coquettish means and pestered Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu to prevent him from leaving. Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma had no choice but to stop answering the phone, crawling on the back of the little adjutant and stirring.

It wasn't until the staff officer on duty shouted a report outside the door, saying that there was an urgent military situation in the direction of Sanyi Village, and the commander of the third wing wanted to report directly to His Excellency the division commander, that Masaharu Honma reluctantly got up from the body of the little adjutant.

After listening to the report of the captain of the third wing, Honma Masaharu's thoughts of having fun ran out at once, and he was busy examining the map. After a short time, the commander of the third wing reported that the squadron launched a large-scale attack, and fierce battles broke out in many positions, among which more than 400 infantry brigades stationed in Xiaodingzhai, Dashizhai, and Sunzhai were killed, and asked the division commander for urgent tactical guidance.

Honma Masaharu judged that this must be a small move by Chiang Kai-shek's troops in the First Theater, wanting to take advantage of Liu Yimin's instructor to eliminate the east wind of the 10th Division of the Imperial Army and pick up some small advantages in the battlefield in eastern Henan. If they were allowed to succeed, wouldn't they have failed their own strategy?

Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma strictly ordered the 3rd Wing to hold its position and be sure to repel the attack of the [***] team. Thinking about it, he ordered the First Wing stationed in Dengfeng to transfer two brigades, cooperate with the two brigades of the 27th Mountain Artillery Wing and the chariot squadron, quickly rush to the front line of Sanyi Village, resolutely smash the offensive of the [***] team, and stabilize the defense line.

When the devil's reinforcements arrived at the front line of Sanyi Village, the third wing was exchanging fire with the [***] team. The Devil's Mountain Artillery Wing hurriedly set up its artillery and soon began shelling.

As soon as the devil cannon spoke, the firepower of the [***] team on the opposite side weakened, and slowly there was no gunfire. The commander of the third wing of the devil, who was in charge of the front-line command, was puzzled, and hurriedly sent a cavalry search team to the position of the [***] team to investigate, only to learn that the [***] team was just retreating and was building fortifications near the Dragon King Station!

The commander of the third wing, who had received reinforcements of troops and firepower, felt that the [***] team must not be allowed to gain a firm foothold, and that they must be completely defeated in one go, otherwise, they are likely to continuously mobilize troops and relaunch the battle in the Lanfeng area. In that case, it will disrupt the strategic deployment of the front army command.

So, under the cover of chariots and mountain artillery, the little devil launched an attack in the direction of Longwang Station in different ways.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army's plan to lure the devil has initially worked, Xu Shiyou and Chen Shiqu have also converged, and the two of them discussed it and decided to retreat quickly with the large army, and let the Fifth Regiment send a company to lead the devil's nose and lead the little devil all the way to the [***] position. As long as they exchange fire, our army's mission will be completely completed.

This task naturally fell to Gao Gencheng again.

Cadres from the old Red Army are the best at fighting guerrilla warfare, raiding warfare, and movement warfare. Gao Gencheng's troops are limited, and it is needless to say that the movement war cannot be fought, but it is not a problem to lure the enemy into depth. He spread out the whole line of the guard company, stretched the battle line long, fought for a while and left, regardless of whether the bullets could stop the devil. Because all that is needed now is the sound of gunfire, and the purpose is to hang the devils from afar and lure them to attack and advance step by step. This kind of battle will be fought!

The defensive line of the troops of the first theater in the direction of Kaifeng is very close to the Longwang station, and the sound of guns and cannons here has long reached their ears. Gao Gencheng only fought two blockades, and then led the troops to slip away in the night. Because the devil's shells have already fallen on the [***] position, if you don't slip away, you will become a fish for two lines of fire barbecue!
