Chapter 673: Flame Array (continued)

The sky has been gloomy for the past few days, and it means that it is going to snow, but it just doesn't fall, which makes the farmers who are looking forward to the next snow to lift the drought extremely disappointed.

Under the gloomy sky, three motorcycles, five tanks, and five armored vehicles drove along the road towards Zhangxia Street, and the dust drifted up and down, covering the wheat leaves in the wheat fields on the roadside with a thick layer of dust.

Devils, motorcycles, tanks, and armored vehicles opened fire on the hillside on the east side of the road as they drove along, and the bullets from the vehicle-mounted machine guns smashed the dead grass and leaves and trees on the hillside.

Huang Hua pulled out his shell gun, looked at the devil tank convoy, and coldly ordered: "Prepare for battle"

The new 24th Regiment was holding on to Zhangxia Street with a battalion, and their plan was to put the devil's vanguard into the street, cut off the two ends, close the door and beat the dogs, and completely annihilate the devil's vanguard.

As soon as he saw that the vanguard of the devils were all motor vehicles, Huang Hua knew that he had encountered the armored brigade of the little devils, which was similar to the ghost search pioneers encountered by the Jiaodong Garrison Regiment of the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade in Xiawangbu as reported in the battle report, but the number was much less.

To deal with these devils, Huang Hua has a way.

Huang Hua was the regiment commander during the Red Army, and he studied at the Red Army University and listened to Liu Yimin's classes. After working as a teacher, the training of the army includes infantry ** and tank fighting. In particular, after the infantry fought tanks, with rocket launchers and anti-tank mines, and mastered the technology of fighting tanks with anti-aircraft guns in a horizontal position, it was already commonplace for the Eighth Route Army to fight tanks. Even without these equipment, there is no fear, the fighters have learned to use Molotov cocktails, explosive packs, and cluster grenades against tanks, but this is a little more dangerous.

When deciding to hold on to Zhangxia Town, Huang Hua took into account the possibility of an ambush at Xiawangbu, that is, the Japanese army would dispatch armored troops to search, after all, the armored forces were fast and safe. Therefore, he asked the 1st battalion to bury three anti-tank mines at the southern end of Zhangxia Street in one go. If the little devil tank doesn't come, it will definitely detonate the anti-tank mine. As long as the devil tank is bombed, the southbound passage will be blocked, the marching speed will stagnate, and the troops will win the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the devil tank.

The new 8th Brigade did not teach the 1st Brigade, but the bazookas of the 1st Brigade were equipped with infantry platoons. The new Eighth Brigade did not teach the Eighth Brigade either, but taught the Eighth Brigade to equip the rocket launchers with infantry companies. Since the new Eighth Brigade is a newly organized brigade, in the past, all regiments were auxiliary main operations, and bazookas could only be assigned to the battalion level, with one rocket launcher for each battalion. This is still the brigade commander Zhao Jie from the commander of the Eighth Brigade Zhao Shan. The new 24th Regiment only has three bazookas, and Huang Hua doesn't plan to use them, this is just to deal with the devil's search for the top soldiers, kill the chickens with a knife, and let the soldiers use Molotov cocktails to deal with the little devils, leaving precious rockets to deal with the devil's army. Anyway, this summer street is an ancient street, and most of the houses on both sides of the street are made of stone and bricks, which is relatively strong, and it is also convenient for concealing troops, just enough for soldiers to test the power of Molotov cocktails.

What Huang Hua didn't expect was that the little devil's motorcycle was fast, and it was about 200 meters away from tanks and armored vehicles.

Huang Hua had no choice but to say to the commander of the first battalion: "Pass the order, let go of the devil's motorcycle, and use Molotov cocktails to solve the devil's tanks and armored vehicles." If you don't shoot, no one is allowed to fire."

When the devil's motorcycle drove into the street, it stopped and swept the street with a machine gun. Seeing that there was no response, the devil lieutenant who led the team stepped out of the motorcycle, pointed at a few soldiers and shouted: "Get out of the car quickly and go into the yard to search"

It may be that the search team entered Zhangxia Street, and the little devil's plane stopped bombing for fear of bombing by mistake, but it still hovered over Zhangxia Street.

At this time, Zhang Xia Street has been blown up by the little devils, the walls and houses have collapsed, and the flames have broken out, but the villagers have been transferred, and there is no cry of women and children.

A few devil soldiers smashed several courtyards in a row, and the inside was empty, only the thatched-roof houses were burning.

The devil soldiers couldn't find anything, so they ran to report to the second lieutenant that there was no one in the house and there were no land mines.

The second lieutenant of the devil was relieved, got back on the motorcycle, and started working on the road. As for those burning houses, the little devils naturally don't care, it's good that they don't continue to set fires, where will they consider putting out fires. Anyway, in the eyes of the little devils, the property of the Chinese should be robbed and burned.

At a distance of two hundred meters, the little devil motorcycle stopped for a while, and the devil tanks and armored vehicles behind caught up. Seeing that the three motorcycles continued to move forward, the devil tank and armored car did not stop and continued to drive along the road through the street.

Huang Hua hid behind a stone wall and watched the devil's convoy with wide eyes. When the little devil searched just now, he almost found his location, and he was ready to let the soldiers use bayonets to solve those little devils. Fortunately, the smoke and fire on Zhangxia Street paralyzed the little devil, and the few empty courtyards at the corner of the street that had been searched also relieved the little devil, so Huang Hua and the soldiers were not exposed.

Under Huang Hua's eager gaze, the little devil tank that hit the head finally pressed the anti-tank mine, and with a loud "boom", the devil's tank lay down.

The little devil of the second tank, who followed him, opened the turret and got out of the shell of the turtle, chirping and shouting birds, as if to ask what was going on.

How did the little devil know that the first tank was pressed on an anti-bottom armor mine with a hollow charge with a large cone-angle pill-shaped cover, and its function was to break the stomach. Fragments after the explosion of a mine are able to pass through the belly of the tank, directly resulting in the life of the tank crew.

When the commander of the second devil tank was shouting, the three devil motorcycles that had already left Zhangxia Street also turned around and turned back, and the devil second lieutenant jumped off the motorcycle and ran to the tank to check the situation.

At this moment, Huang Hua, the commander of the new 24th Regiment of the New Eighth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, whose eyes were full of eagerness and eagerness, shouted "hit", and the barge gun in his hand opened fire.

Molotov cocktails are easy to make, and the soldiers also practice with live ammunition during training. However, in the entire instructor troops, only the 21st Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the Bloody Battle of Zhou Village has been used in actual combat, and the other troops have not yet tested the power of the Molotov cocktails they made in actual combat.

Huang Hua gave an order, and a long line of soldiers stood up behind the ruins on both sides of Zhangxia Street, and the Molotov cocktails in their hands shook vigorously, and after igniting, they were thrown at the little devil's tanks and armored vehicles, and even the three devil motorcycles that had just returned were also targeted by the soldiers, and they were hit by four or five Molotov cocktails.

You must know that at this time, there was no Soviet-Finnish war, and Molotov cocktails only occasionally appeared during the Spanish Civil War, and did not attract real attention from the world. Where would the little devil have thought that he could see this kind of home-made incendiary bomb on the battlefield in Shandong, and he has no such concept in cognition.

There were more than 500 soldiers in the first battalion of the new 24th Regiment, and excluding the fire support company and the fire support platoon of each company, each soldier made three Molotov cocktails, and threw out more than 300 Molotov cocktails in just one round of throwing. The little devil only has three motorcycles, five tanks, and five armored vehicles, where can he afford the Eighth Route Army to toss like this, on average, a tank and armored vehicles have to fall twenty or thirty Molotov cocktails, think about what kind of concept that is

Molotov cocktails fell on tanks and armored vehicles, shattered and exploded, and the sparks soon became raging flames, and the flames and smoke wrapped the devil tanks and armored vehicles, and soon the fuel tank of the little devil's vehicle caught fire and exploded, and then the ammunition in the car exploded, until the little devil's vehicle was blown into steel pieces.

The fighters who had risen up continued to throw Molotov cocktails, but were stopped by the *. Huang Hua was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Don't you want money for a group of losers Molotov cocktails?" Doesn't it cost money for gas? Don't you want money for sugar? Don't you want money? Don't you need money for soap? You group of losers, you throw out so many at once, what should you do if you turn around and the devil army comes up? The prodigal son is so fucking angry."

Huang Hua scolded and scolded, and the nose and eyes on his face were all smiling. Damn, this Molotov cocktail is so hard to get, it's so enjoyable to be able to blow up the little devil's iron turtle like this

Huang Hua ordered the first battalion to quickly clean up the battlefield and quickly clean up the remains of the devil's tortoise shell, so that it could not affect the continuation of the ambush.

Seeing that Huang Hua was happy, the first battalion commander sniffed vigorously with his nose, and said to Huang Hua: "Regiment commander, you smell it, how can there be a smell of roast boar?" ”

Huang Hua subconsciously sniffed, it really smelled of roast boar, and after thinking about it, he realized that this was the little devil in the tank and armored car who was roasted by the fire.

Huang Hua smiled and said, "What kind of roast boar, that's braised Japanese pig." The commander of the first battalion hurriedly organized the troops to move and told the soldiers that the big army of little devils was about to come up, and this time it was necessary to save Molotov cocktails, and this battle would have to be fought for two days. If you run out of Molotov cocktails on the first day, how can you deal with the tanks of the little devils? ”

The commander of the first battalion smiled and said: "Isn't it so simple for the regiment commander to turn into a husk, a Molotov cocktail?" Let the fighters do a little more. ”

Huang Hua had to say that the scouts of the regimental reconnaissance platoon reported that a large army of devils had come up.

Huang Hua didn't expect that his method of dealing with the devil tank this time would be repeated in Dawenkou a day later, but it was a real flame array, and the results were amazing.

From noon on the 22nd, the new second regiment and the new sixth regiment of the Eighth Route Army were in full contact with the devils. Before dark on the 23rd, the little devil roundabout troops captured Dongping County, forming a situation of attacking Ningyang. The little devils attacked the troops head-on and captured the county towns of Feicheng and Tai'an. The blocking forces of the Eighth Route Army were forced to retreat south.

By this time, the task of blocking the northern line had been basically completed, and Liu Yimin ordered the New Second Brigade to cross the canal overnight and go to southwest Lu to join the southwest Lu group. The Taixi garrison brigade was ordered to be divided into pieces on the spot, transferred to the tunnel, and prepared to persist in the struggle in the Taixi area after the Japanese heavy army group had passed. The New Eighth Brigade was ordered to retreat to Yanzhou and Jining, and continue to serve as a blockade and retardation mission.

Tang Xingying and the 1st Guard Battalion had already retreated with the new 8th Brigade. Liu Yimin himself led the special operations brigade and sniper brigade to hide in the villages around Dabaiyu in the south of Tai'an City, preparing to attack the Japanese army in Tai'an at night, defeat the arrogance of the devils, and make them dare not quickly pursue our army.

On the night of the 23rd, snowflakes finally fell in the sky. Although the snow was not heavy, Liu Yimin was still very happy. You must know that since the beginning of winter, there has not been a single snow in Shandong, and the wheat seedlings are dry and wilted. If it weren't for the devil's attack, Liu Yimin would have organized troops to fight drought.

Standing in the vast night, letting the snowflakes fall on his head and face, Liu Yimin was extremely happy. Before the crossing, he was just a student, although he was a student of a prestigious university and the highest university in the whole army, and his future was bright, but in any case, in that era of peaceful development, he could only talk on paper. Even if he successfully graduated and went to the army to develop, he would be a military scientific researcher at best. Take 10,000 steps back, even if God favors him and allows him to take up a military position, with a green light all the way, he is quickly promoted, and he becomes a major general or lieutenant general, he is just a general who has never fought a war. Because of his time, China was already very powerful, although some small countries around it followed the United States to make a fuss, fighting for islands and borders, which seemed to be violent, but in fact, none of them thought of fighting with China, but just wanted to take advantage of China through small actions. The ** people in China are going crazy if they want to fight, but unfortunately they don't have a chance.

It's better now, killing devils is for the country, and the more you kill, the greater the credit. And there are so many little devils, you can't kill them in a year or two. Such an exciting thing is put in the original era, not to mention looking for it with a lantern, even if you use a satellite to find it, I'm afraid you can't find it.

Thinking about his crossing, he not only got two Red Star Medals, but also became a teacher and instructor on a par with famous marshals like **, Liu Bocheng, Xu Xiangqian, and He Long, commanding the main force of nearly 300,000 Eighth Route Army, and became the secretary of the Shandong Bureau, the commander of the Shandong Military Region, and the member of the Central Committee. This is something that I never dreamed of, and a time trip turned it into a reality.

I am afraid that in the future, if I write my own experience into a book, it will be an absolute legend in the eyes of future generations.

It's worth it, it's really worth it. Even if he dies on the battlefield now, he has no regrets.

As soon as I thought of regret, the faces of Ni Hua, Tang Xingying and the two sons immediately appeared in my mind, as well as the faint images of Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing. Liu Yimin laughed silently, it's still not good, it's a lot of regrets, it looks like it's still going to kill a lot, kill the little devil, let the little devil die early, die quickly, and die cleanly. In this way, you will not have regrets. If misfortune really happens and dies on the battlefield before the unconditional surrender of the little devil, it will be absolutely dead

Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Laohu didn't know what Liu Yimin was thinking, so they came over and reported: "Division commander, you see, the little devils are too large, and there are camping devils everywhere outside Tai'an City. Now we can kill it."

Liu Yimin looked at his three favorite generals, and looked up at Tai'an City, only to see that on this snowy night, the little devil was camping outside Tai'an City, and there were piles of bonfires everywhere.

Liu Yimin understood after a little thought, the little devil was afraid of being attacked at night, and would rather camp in the wild than in the villages and towns. It seems that the little devil has a long memory and knows how to avoid the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Liu Yimin said: "Ling Feng, Tongsheng, Tiger, the little devil dares to camp in the wild, he must have built a position and arranged a trap. Tonight's battle is very dangerous, and we can't afford to fight. In this way, the squadrons of the special operations brigade and the sniper brigade sent a squad to stay behind to protect the vehicles and prepare to respond. After receiving the enemy, Tongsheng led the sniper team to occupy the position and provide us with fire cover. Ling Feng and Tiger each led a special operations team to attack. All means can be used in this battle, take out your poison gas bombs, use them all, and replenish them when you arrive in Yanzhou. The attached bazookas and the three anti-aircraft guns that were temporarily deployed were all brought with them, ready to stop the pursuers of the little devils. Let the soldiers prepare more Molotov cocktails, and we will give the little devils a flame array and strive to burn the company camp. Now split up and set off in an hour. It is emphasized that if the attack is successful, retreat immediately, and do not fall in love. ”

Wang Laohu said that the division commander was too timid, everyone was fluent in Japanese, and they were wearing devil uniforms, how could the little devils recognize us as the Eighth Route Army?

Liu Yimin shook his head: "Tiger, don't underestimate the Japanese army. Whoever underestimates his opponent will suffer, and everyone must remember this clearly. ”

This plan Liu Yimin has been brewing for two days, he is going south to Jianghuai, how can he do it without leaving some souvenirs for the little devil?

To say, after the Battle of Taixi and the two-day blocking battle, the little devil has been very vigilant. For example, tonight, the Devil's Armored Brigade and Guards Division, which were camping south and east of Tai'an City, not only set up secret posts, but also adopted the method of one-third of the soldiers going to the position, one-third sleeping, and one-third concealing and standby, and set up pockets to wait for the Eighth Route Army to come and steal the camp.

Replacing Iida Sadagu as commander of the Guards Division was Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida. This old devil is the 20th graduate of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School. In this issue, there were six Japanese generals, and it was a very famous issue. Later, he graduated from the 27th class of Lu University.

Before serving as the commander of the Guards Division, Iida Shojiro was the chief of staff of the First Army of the North China Front with the rank of major general. Originally, he was going to be transferred to the post of commander of the Taiwan brigade, but because the two commanders of the 12th Army were captured by the Eighth Route Army, the commander of the Guards Division, Lieutenant General Iida Sadagu, was urgently transferred to the commander of the 12th Army.

Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida, who had just taken up his new post, was full of spirit, bent on making meritorious achievements on the battlefield in North China and staining his criminal future with the blood of the Chinese.

Ladies and gentlemen: I came back too late today, and I helped my wife write a work summary, and that's it. Continued tomorrow. Thank you all for your support, thank you
