The sound of gunfire quickly pierced the silence of the night, and more than 4,500 Japanese troops were surrounded in the valley. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Less than a kilometer from the valley there was a whole infantry wing of the Japanese army, which was rapidly approaching the valley after hearing the gunfire.

However, this was already expected by Yang Chengwu, and the troops who were originally blocking the escape of the Japanese army at the mouth of the valley quickly prepared for battle, and arranged a blocking position outside the valley to prevent the Japanese troops in the third echelon from converging with the little devils in the first and second echelons. At the same time, it also prevented the little devils of the first and second echelons from breaking through to the south, so Master Yang put the elites of two reinforced battalions at the exit of the river valley.

Although a reinforced battalion is only more than 700 people, but limited by the special terrain of the river valley area, even if there are more than 100,000 people, there will not be more than one or two hundred people who really participate in the battle, and the width of the river valley mouth is only 100 meters, and it is too crowded to arrange an infantry company. Two battalions of troops were enough, and besides, the battalion was strengthened.

Of course, Master Yang also knew that the pressure on the troops who were responsible for the task of blocking the mouth of the river valley must be very great. They are going to be attacked by the second and third echelons of the Japanese army, but if the third echelon of the Japanese army and the first two echelons converge, then it will be really difficult to annihilate these little devils of more than 6,000 people, and the little devils who form a group are not vegetarians. Breaking each one is the king, otherwise it will be a bit uncost-effective to kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 yourself.

After observing the combat capability of the Japanese army on the spot, Yang Chengwu made up his mind to eat this detachment of the Japanese devils, so in addition to ordering the three brigades and one regiment to participate in the attack on both sides of the valley to strengthen the offensive, he also ordered the artillery regiments arranged on the periphery of the valley to immediately open fire and cooperate with the infantry. At the same time, he ordered the two regiments deployed on the southern front to strengthen their vigilance and take on the task of blocking the enemy's reinforcements.

Yang Chengwu also knew that once he suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, Kato Daisa would definitely ask Lieutenant General Abe for help. At that time, blocking the enemy's reinforcements will become the key factor in the success of this battle, so Yang Chengwu believes that it is necessary to arrange two regiments on the southern front.

The Japanese troops in the valley were suddenly stunned by the sudden attack, and all the Japanese officers, including Kato Daisa, realized the seriousness of the matter, and the density of firepower on both sides of the valley alone exceeded that of an infantry regiment, and the dense shells falling from the sky proved that this was definitely the main force of the Chinese army, and it was definitely not as simple as more than one infantry regiment.

Kato Osa was also an extremely experienced commander, and by the ballistic landing of the shells, he was almost certain that the Chinese army had at least one full artillery regiment. Moreover, the dense bullets fired from both sides of the river valley also made Kato Daisa's heart fall to the bottom, in terms of the density of automatic firepower, I am afraid that it is not inferior to a field division in the empire.

And it seems to be the sound of the Imperial Heavy Machine Gun Type 92 and Taisho 11 Type Light Machine Gun, in addition to which there seems to be an automatic weapon that he has never seen before. The armament of the Shina army has always been inferior to that of the Great Japanese Empire, and even their most elite government regular army is far superior to many of the Great Imperial Japanese Army, and where did the army besieging them get so many advanced weapons?

Kato Osa organized the soldiers to carry out a counter-charge, but unfortunately the soldiers of one squadron were hit by a dense number of bullets on both sides when they reached a distance of less than 20 meters to the top of the valley, and the survival rate of the elite soldiers of a squadron was less than one-fifth.

The overwhelming bullets were too terrible, coupled with the shells falling from time to time in the sky, Yang Chengwu taught Kato Dazuo a lesson, telling him what is modern warfare in the real sense, either a gun in his hand is a modern soldier, and he is not a soldier who commands a group of soldiers with modern weapons can fight a modern war.

Kato Daisa didn't know that in order to fight this battle well, Yang Chengwu concentrated all the automatic firepower that could be concentrated under his command into the three brigades and one regiment, and approved five tons of ammunition to Ma Zheng. Therefore, Jiang Hao's subordinate can have an automatic firepower with an average of five people, and the combat effectiveness of hundreds of heavy machine guns in the narrow river valley of several kilometers is absolutely unimaginable.

Moreover, according to the experience of ambushes in the past, Yang Chengwu ordered the troops on the front line to prepare tens of thousands of cluster grenades, which are sandwiched between these iron nails and the like every five ordinary grenades, and their power is definitely not much worse than a 75mm caliber mountain artillery shell.

5 such cluster grenades per person were all thrown out within three minutes of the start of the battle, and such a dense explosion point in such a small combat area, not to mention that Kato Daisa had never seen it, and even Yang Chengwu and others, who had always seen a big scene, had never seen it.

At the beginning of the battle, the role of the cluster grenade was simply godlike, no worse than that mountain artillery regiment, and these were all targeted projectiles by the fighters, and they exploded to the point as soon as they exploded. Moreover, some fighters know how to make a grenade explode in the air, which further expands the power of this grenade. For a time, the entire valley was filled with wails and explosions, and countless Japanese soldiers were wounded.

Because the scope of the cluster grenade explosion is relatively large, and the quality of the grenades manufactured by the Suicha Military Region is very different from the border area made by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the lethal power is very strong, and this explosion is a large area, and not many people are directly killed, but the wounded are more than 10 times or even dozens of times that of the dead.

Kato Osa now regrets that even his intestines are green, a total of more than 7,000 people, except for the almost wiped out cavalry wing, the infantry is only more than 6,000 people. Now, in addition to the more than 2,000 people behind the palace, the remaining more than 4,000 people are all surrounded in this small river valley area, in a dilemma. Fortunately, because the signal corps usually operates with the wing headquarters and the level of protection is very high, the radio station has remained intact until now.

Kato Osa couldn't care about losing face at this time, and immediately ordered the signal corps to send a telegram to Lieutenant General Abe Norihide, telling Lieutenant General Abe Norihide that he led his troops to pursue the Shina troops, and was ambushed thirty kilometers north of Xuanhua, and his troops suffered heavy losses. In addition, the enemy's firepower was extremely fierce, and there was little hope of breaking through the encirclement, and it was hoped that His Excellency the division commander would immediately give effective operational guidance.

At the same time, Major General Kato ordered the signal corps to send a telegram to the Yamada Brigade outside the encirclement, ordering the unit to immediately attack the Dohachi Road at the mouth of the valley and open an opening from the outside to assist the Imperial troops in the valley to break through the encirclement together.

In fact, not long after Kato Osa left, Abe Norihide vaguely felt that something was wrong, and there was no reason for this feeling, it was simply a feeling that something was wrong, a bit like a woman's sixth sense.

Although there is no reason in the slightest, Abe Norihide still decided to take precautions, after all, a general with rich combat experience like Abe Norihide is still very sensitive to danger, and if he didn't have a little foresight, then he wouldn't have today's status. Moreover, Abe Norihide is different from Tada Jun, Umezu Mijiro and others, he climbed up step by step from the grassroots leaders, and basically did not receive much formal military education.

Sure enough, only two and a half hours later, something happened on Kato's side, and the whole army of more than 7,000 began to cry and shout for reinforcements before they could wait long.

I still know a lot about Kato Osabe Norihide, although his ability is not outstanding from time to time, but it is definitely not a gentleman in the general sense. Kato can get to where he is today, of course, the Kato family is indispensable, but if Kato himself doesn't give his strength, no one can speak.

Kato joined the army not to come to the army to gild, he stayed in Northeast China and North Korea for six years, and fought to the death with the Anti-Japanese Union active in the deep mountains and old forests for six years, and the record was very good. In terms of combat experience, definitely not in the average general.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Norihide Abe did not think that Kato called for reinforcements to him because of his ability problem, and he must have been in big trouble. But knowing is knowing, and it is really troublesome to actually operate. Reinforcements can be sent out so easily, and now Abe Norihide doesn't have many troops in his hands, and Abe Norihide is in a dilemma for a while. (To be continued.) )
