Chapter 636: Xiawangbu (continued)

The battle of Xiawangbu did not end because the devil search for the top soldiers was annihilated, because the electric explosives planted by the Eighth Route Army were not used, and those land mines were not used.

For Yu Deshui, who is used to living a hard life, these baby bumps must not be thrown away like this. What if the devil sappers take it back for research?

Yu Deshui, who had no time to clean up the battlefield, ordered the troops to move quickly to Shangwangbu at the same time, and ordered the reconnaissance platoon commander Qiao Mingzhi to take two sappers and three sharpshooters to stay, and wait for the devil army to come up and use explosives before withdrawing.

The reason why Qiao Mingzhi was ordered to stay was because Yu Deshui thought that Qiao Mingzhi was the same as himself, he had martial arts, good marksmanship, courage and carefulness, and was able to bring back two sappers and three sharpshooters.

Among the three sharpshooters left behind were Yu Chunpu, who had just killed the leader of the devil's cavalry squadron, and the other two were Gu Xichun and Hu Xiushan, famous sharpshooters of the first battalion.

Gu Xichun and Hu Xiushan's marksmanship is famous in the Jiaodong Independent Brigade. During the battle of the Thunder God Temple, these two people and two guns, under the command of Comrade Lin Yishan, specially eliminated the little devils who grabbed the roof, which played a great role in supporting the breakthrough until dark. In this battle, Comrade Li Qi died and Comrade Lin Yishan was wounded.

As soon as Yu Deshui led the first battalion and the fire support battalion out of Xiawangbu Village, the armored troops of the little devils had already driven into the mountain pass west of Xiawangbu.

Looking at the dust raised by the devil tank armored car, Qiao Mingzhi said with a little regret: "It's a pity that those Oriental horses don't even have a chance to catch one." ”

Hu Xiushan is a veteran, "He is also old, and others call him Old Man Hu." Listening to Mingzhi talking to himself, Hu Xiushan said impatiently, don't be talkative. The devil is on guard, and he is about to shoot * cannons, so hurry up and hide. ”

Before Hu Xiushan's words fell, the little devil's tank began to fire at the village.

Qiao Mingzhi held up the binoculars and looked at it, damn it, the little devil's tank put on a battle formation, "One after another, the butt hit, and the boom is a cannon shot." Looking at this posture, it won't be long before the little devils will blow up Xiawangbu into walls, collapsed houses, and ruins. If the regiment commander had withdrawn with his troops a little later, I am afraid that he would not have been able to withdraw.

Qiao Mingzhi was born as a habitual bandit, pinched the wires with both hands, and was surprisingly bold, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to rob Jinan Bank of Communications back then."

Seeing that the little devil was coming fiercely, Qiao Mingzhi told a few people not to shoot, and he had to let the little devil know that the Eighth Route Army had run away, otherwise there would be no chance to use explosives.

Those land mines and anti-infantry mines are used against infantry, and the tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils will not explode when pressed on them. Now it's up to that devil to be unlucky, and he will press the anti-tank mine first.

The commander of the Devil's Tank Force seems to have listened to the report of the cavalry who fled back, and thought that the main force of the Eighth Route Army instructor was setting up an ambush here, and it had the ability to destroy the tank. As a result, they marched slowly, apparently waiting for the infantry to catch up and search up the hill.

After a short time, the armored vehicles and cars of the devil's infantry came up, and seeing that there was no counterattack in the village, the devils began to search and advance. When they arrived at the wreckage of tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and motorcycles of the Elite Search Team, they even pulled out a few wounded soldiers alive, and immediately knew the direction of the Eighth Route Army's retreat.

The little devil banner soldiers got busy, waving a few times, and the devil tank armored car was back on the road, but this time the armored car and cavalry were sent to open the road and pursue in the direction of Shangwangbu, and the devil infantry began to search up the mountain and search for the village of Xiawangbu.

As soon as Qiao Mingzhi saw that the time was ripe, he immediately made a detonation gesture to the two sappers, and in an instant, one after another, the earth-shattering sound shook the earth.

Needless to say, as long as the devil infantry stood around the explosives bag, they either took a dirt plane, threw a rain of blood into the sky, and their stumps and legs were scattered, or they were shocked and staggered, bleeding. Even the cars and armored vehicles that happened to be pressed on the explosives package were also blown up.

Qiao Mingzhi grinned, led a few soldiers and quietly retreated. He had to rush out of the village before the devil could react, into the Lying Wolf Tooth Mountain to the east, and he couldn't run away if he was too late.

It's a pity that there are still too few electric explosives to send all the little devils on the highway to hell. The devil commander who reacted looked at the tragic scene in front of him in a daze, and suddenly felt that his face was dry, and when he reached out and touched it, he actually grabbed a hand of bloody brains. This guy let out a wolf-like howl, and the command knife in his hand pointed forward, ordering the complete destruction of Xiawangbu Village and the rapid pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.

The devils are walking fast anyway, because the wreckage of tanks, armored vehicles, and cars on the road needs to be cleaned up, and the wounded need to be treated. The little devil was ruthless enough, and after pulling out the remains of the wounded and dead soldiers, he even used tanks to push the wreckage of tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and motorcycles that blocked the way off the road, so as not to let them interfere with the march of the troops.

When the little devil was busy with things on the road, the village of Xiawangbu was almost bombed by tank artillery, and the devil infantry also entered the village. As a result, apart from ruins and ruins, I couldn't even find a cat or dog.

The devil began to pursue. This time, the little devil changed his tactics, and instead of using motorcycles, armored vehicles, cars, and cavalry as search teams, he directly let a squadron of tanks move forward quickly and act as spearheads.

It was naturally the carrier-based aircraft of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy that provided air cover for the Japanese army in Qingdao. At this time, because it was already dawn, the two planes of the devils finally arrived at the battlefield to cover the movement of the ground troops.

After Yu Deshui arrived at Xiawangbu with a fire support battalion and a battalion, he stopped. Because this is the commanding height in the north of the Xiawangbu Basin, the Eighth Brigade has been on the outskirts of Qingdao for more than two months, and there are already fortifications built at such a commanding height, so Yu Deshui is determined to block it here. You must know that there are so many little devils and iron turtles, and the artillery fire must be more powerful than imagined, and it is impossible to block the attack of the little devils without leaving the favorable terrain.

In Shangwangbu, Yu Deshui sent a telegram to the brigade commander, reporting the results of the battle of Xiawangbu and the information that the Little Devil Armored Brigade had opened the way.

Yu Deshui's report attracted the attention of the brigade commander, "and it was quickly reported to the Ludong Command and the Teaching Department." Liu Yimin was taken aback after reading the telegram, and immediately sent a telegram to the Ludong Headquarters and the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade, ordering the troops to give up blocking in the plain area, and could only use the key points in the mountains and strong fortifications to carry out the blockade, and they could not resist the devils as soon as they hit it. More mines, more explosive packs and anti-tank mines. The main force is mainly used to harass and attack the devil's logistics and heavy troops on both sides to avoid being caught up and eaten by the devils. The local armed forces all went down to the tunnels, ready to fight the devils for a long time. When Liu Yimin's order reached Yu De's sailors, the little devil tank had already pounced. This time, it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to fight as smoothly as it did just now.

The bazooka group of the Eighth Route Army has two people in each group, and the bazooka shooter carries a bazooka, three rockets, a shell gun, and 60 bullets. The secondary shooter carries 5 rounds of rockets, equipped with a 38 large cover and 100 rounds of ammunition. The reason why I was able to carry so much was because of the pack horses.

If you meet an ordinary Japanese army, such a configuration is enough. Because there are not many tanks of the little devils, and the Jiaodong Independent Regiment is only a regiment-level unit, it is generally impossible to confront the little devils of the division regiment. But now it's not a normal situation, and the little devils you encounter are not ordinary devils.

When there was an earth-shattering explosion in Xiawangbu just now, Yu Deshui was still laughing at the dust rising in the air, and he couldn't laugh at this moment. Because the devils who caught up along the highway did not have infantry, but all the iron turtles were followed by black pressed iron turtles, a bit like the turtles that crawled out of the Jiaodong Sea in summer. And that's not all, two Japanese planes also arrived, hovering in the sky, searching for ground targets ready to drop bombs and dive strafing.

Looking at the soldiers hidden in the fortifications, the rifles, machine guns, and grenadiers in their hands have no effect on the iron turtle of the little devil, and the infantry artillery that can work cannot establish a position, because as long as the meeting is held, it will be targeted by the little devil plane, not to mention whether it can hit the tank, the most important thing is that it cannot avoid the fire of the little devil's plane. The only thing that can clean up the devil tank is the bazooka. However, in the battle of Xiawangbu just now, the two bazooka groups each fired three shots, and now there are a total of 10 rockets left. Even if all ten rockets hit, what will happen after the devil tank behind catches up?

Qiao Mingzhi and the others had already withdrawn to see Yu Deshui, and Qiao Mingzhi reported: "The regiment commander has to hurry up and think about withdrawing." There are too many little devil tanks and armored vehicles, and we can't deal with them. If he is willing to catch up, he will suffer a big loss. ”

Yu Deshui had already received a telegram from Jian Yimin at this time, and he could retreat at any time. However, that would have to be able to be withdrawn.

Looking at the devil tank that swooped up viciously, Yu Deshui looked resolute and ordered loudly: "All light and heavy machine guns and rifles organize anti-air shooting, bazooka groups and infantry guns are in place, and the goal: destroy the devil tank in front of you!" ”

Soon, the muzzles of light and heavy machine guns and rifles of the 1st Battalion and the Fire Support Battalion were all pointed at the sky.

The devil tank had learned its lesson, and when it approached Shangwangbu, ten tanks lined up, and the 7.7mm machine guns on the vehicles fired loudly, and the tank guns also began to bombard.

The biggest disadvantage of the bazooka is that the range is too close. The two bazookas configured by the Jiaodong Independent Regiment have an effective range of 100 meters. This bazooka, in essence, is not an active offensive weapon, but only an infantry defensive weapon, which can only be used for close ambushes. Therefore, seeing that the Japanese tanks were suppressing fire, the bazooka team could not do anything but wait for the opportunity.

If the bazooka does not fire, it does not mean that the little devil plane cannot detect the Eighth Route Army. Just now, the little devil suffered a big loss in Xiawangbu, and the purpose of the devil's plane hovering in the air was to find the retreating Eighth Route Army and carry out the attack. Xiawangbu is just north of Shangwangbu, and it is the focus of the natural little devil plane search. Now that the Eighth Route Army was preparing to shoot at the air, all the camouflage on the position was removed, and the little devil plane quickly discovered the problem and pounced viciously.

More than two months ago, there was no way for the Jiaodong Independent Regiment to encounter devil planes, and the only way was to prohibit anti-aircraft shooting and implement on-the-spot concealment. Now that the troops have been trained to fight and fly, the cadres and fighters are holding back their strength in their hearts, just waiting for the little devil plane to open!

These two Devil planes are carrier-based fighters, and their mission is mainly combat duty, that is, to search for targets for ground forces and provide combat support. If they really find a large force of the Eighth Route Army, they will immediately call the Japanese aircraft group to rush to reinforcements.

The last time the Japanese carrier-based planes encircled and annihilated the 10th Division of the Eighth Route Army, they would not carry out dive strafing and would instead drop bombs at high altitudes.

It is a pity that these two Japanese planes were fighters on normal duty and did not carry aerial bombs. Therefore, they had to dive and strafe after calling the group.

When the devil plane rushed down, all the light and heavy machine guns and rifles on the position of the Eighth Route Army opened fire, and bunches and bullets went out against the diving Japanese planes.

Not to mention, the effect of the whole training was indeed obvious, and the Japanese plane that took the lead directly exploded in the air under the ground fire of the Eighth Route Army. Frightened, the Japanese plane that followed behind hurriedly pulled up, and did not escape the fate of being hit, but did not explode in the air, but dragged a puff of smoke and staggered towards the direction of Qingdao.

With this blow, the position was completely exposed, and the tank guns of the little devils found the target and began to concentrate on attacking the positions of the Eighth Route Army. The position was immediately covered with explosions and dust, and soldiers were constantly hit by shrapnel and fell in pools of blood.

Yu Deshui saw that the bloody character came up, and ordered the infantry artillery to open fire, repel the devil tank, and cover the transfer of troops.

The infantry guns of the Eighth Route Army fired, and the gunners were very experienced, and they took three guns to attack one tank, and a total of six infantry guns attacked two Japanese tanks at the same time.

The little devil didn't think that the Type 92 infantry gun could also be used to fight tanks, and in a panic, two tanks were hit. However, the devil's tanks and armored vehicles behind followed, and the devil's artillery suddenly became stronger, and the infantry artillery of the Eighth Route Army had to stop shelling and quickly transfer. If you hold on a little longer, wait for the little devil to detonate the shell, then the loss will be great.

Yu Deshui already regretted it very much at this time. It's better to jump behind the devils and fight the devil's infantry in this way, which is only taking advantage and not suffering. Confronting devil planes and tanks like this, stopping for a while, it will immediately be the end of all sacrifices. Then your own sin will be great!

Yu Deshui did not hesitate any longer and ordered the troops to move immediately.

It was a little late under Yu Deshui's orders. It was too close to Qingdao, and the devil group arrived quickly, and the sky was dark and oppressive, not to mention that there were more than 20 planes.

When the Eighth Route Army withdrew into Shangwangbu Village, the devil group began to attack, and the ancient Shangwangbu Village was shrouded in a sea of fire.
