Ma Zheng has already given instructions to all units about the operational objectives of this battle, and this battle does not care about how many Japanese troops are annihilated, but does his best to attract the main force of the Japanese army to the periphery of Yama Mountain and Daqing Mountain, while Ma Zheng's division is to take the opportunity to capture the rear towns where the Japanese army is empty, so as to combat the arrogance of the Japanese army.

Although the captured towns may not be able to be defended, or Ma Zheng has never thought of defending them, as long as some towns are recovered, this is a great stimulus and encouragement for the local anti-Japanese enthusiasm, and at the same time, it can also publicize the Eighth Route Army and the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in southern Chachanan to the greatest extent.

The Kuno Wing arrived at the foot of Mt. Oqingyama on the afternoon of the 25th, and in the afternoon of the same day, Kuno's troops carried out two tentative attacks on the defenders of Aoyama, and the results also confirmed Kuno's suspicion that Aoyama was a turtle shell made of steel, which could not be bitten at all.

Overnight, Kuno convened a meeting of officers above the squadron leader level to discuss the battle plan for capturing Daqingshan, but all the weaknesses of Daqingshan's defense had been filled by Ma Zheng, and Kuno Tossed for a night, and finally decided to adopt the tactics of frontal attack and flank detour.

They have already understood the frontal position, and basically they can't get down, so they can only see if they can gain something from a few gentle slopes on the side. Although everyone expressed confidence that night would win, Kuno knew that this was just a habit of the Imperial Army, and that none of them were completely sure what the battle would be like tomorrow.

Sure enough, the second day's attack was similar to the situation on the afternoon of the first day, their artillery was of very limited use to the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army, and every charge of the infantry was nothing more than a futile struggle, falling in pieces in the face of the fierce fire of the defenders of China, and in less than a morning, more than half of the two infantry squadrons under the Kuno Division suffered casualties.

On the other side, the Japanese troops who detoured back to the side of Daqingshan also did not go well, and the Eighth Route Army seemed to have expected that they would attack from the gentle slope, and the minefields planted along the way caused the Japanese to suffer heavy losses.

It was easy to reach a gentle place, but found that the Eighth Route Army had already built fortifications here, and several attacks were defeated before they even rushed to the forward position of the Eighth Route Army.

The attack on the side of Kuno United was frustrated, and the Senda side was also in trouble. The fortifications of Mount Hades have been reinforced for several months, and they are even stronger than those on the Great Green Mountain. The Chida United attacked for two hours but did not even enter the mountain pass, and the angry Chida Osa kept losing his temper in the headquarters.

Trembling and trembling to transmit the battle situation back to Datong, Chida and Kuno were ready to be reprimanded by His Excellency the division commander, but the imaginary thunderous anger did not come.

His Excellency the division commander personally called them, saying that the situation had long been expected by him, and told them not to worry, the heavy artillery units were already on their way. They could reach the battlefield in three days at the latest, and they must besiege the dirt roads in the mountains within these three days, and they could not be allowed to escape under any circumstances, as long as the heavy artillery troops arrived, their fortifications would be like papier-mâché, and they would not be vulnerable at all.

After receiving the telegram from Harem Jun, the two Dazuo on the front line were relieved. The fact that the work of the Eighth Road is too strong, and their Type 92 infantry guns and 75mm mountain guns have no way to take those pillboxes, if they are forced to fill them, even if they are defeated, the losses will be extremely heavy, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Now that the heavy artillery unit is about to arrive, it can be said that there is finally hope.

It is no wonder that these two Japanese soldiers are so confident, although they usually prepare those small-caliber artillery such as 92 infantry guns and 60 mortars, and the better ones are 75mm mountain guns and field guns, which are a bit shabby compared to the artillery equipment of Western countries. But they also had their own heavy artillery units, and they were quite well organized, with a full five heavy artillery brigades.

Except for one of the five heavy artillery brigades, which was deployed in China, the remaining four brigades were all deployed to China, of which two were deployed by the Kwantung Army, and the remaining two were deployed to the North China Front and the other to the Central China Front.

A standard heavy artillery brigade has two heavy artillery wings, including 30-40 heavy cannons of the Taisho seven-year type 150mm caliber, 20 heavy cannons of the 90-type 240-caliber type, 10 heavy howitzers of the 96-type 305 caliber, and some heavy artillery brigades are also equipped with 3-6 mortars of the 98-type 320 caliber.

The power of these heavy artillery is not a joke, the artillery of ordinary field troops is not comparable to this at all, and that guy is really scary when he blows up. For example, the Type 90 240 heavy cannon weighs 185 kilograms, and it needs to be loaded with a special loading vehicle to fit into the breech. And the firing range of this kind of heavy artillery is also quite terrifying, under normal circumstances, it can reach 16 kilometers, and the killing radius of the explosion when it falls to the ground exceeds 80 meters.

The most important thing is that this guy doesn't necessarily have to hit directly, and the huge shock wave can make the bomb explosion point dozens of meters incapacitated. Take these fortifications on Hades Mountain and Daqing Mountain as an example, if such a shell hits the field fortifications, at least one platoon of troops will be crossed out of the formation, and the people in the fortifications will be shocked to death by the huge shock wave if they are not killed. As for the larger caliber 320-mm mortar, the shell weight alone reached 300 kilograms, not to mention the power, basically if a shell hit the fortifications, a company would evaporate from the world.

Of course, such a strategic force is not used often by the Japanese army, and it is too resource-consuming. When such a heavy artillery brigade operates, it is usually protected by an infantry wing. Secondly, these heavy artillery are all big guys weighing tens of thousands of pounds, and the general cars can't be towed, plus China's basic transportation is really poor, their heavy artillery can't move at all except by taking the railway, and on China's dirt roads, the wheels of the heavy artillery will not sink into the ground once they go down.

It is for this reason that although the Japanese army was rampant on the Chinese battlefield after the July 7 Incident, it rarely used heavy artillery. This time there was no way, through the survivors of the previous battles to report back, the Japanese army had almost touched the basic situation of Hades Mountain, so Lieutenant General Harem Jun applied to the above for heavy artillery reinforcements in advance.

Xiaoshan Mountain, Ma Zheng has been nesting in this place with more than 2,000 main forces for almost a week, and knowing that the battle between Hades Mountain and Daqing Mountain has begun, Ma Zheng can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In the cave, Ma Zheng was having a meeting with the officers of the department, and after Xu Xiaolin, who was in charge of intelligence, explained the nearby enemy situation in detail, Ma Zheng said in a deep voice: "The general situation is like this, now the main force of the Japanese army is basically attracted to the front line of Yama Mountain and Daqing Mountain, and the rear Chayouqian Banner, Jining, Shangdu, Shangyi and Zhuozi Mountain are all in a state of emptiness, so our task is to stab the little devil in the heart!" ”

Wu Xiuda smiled and said, "Detachment leader, is it too damaging to poke your asshole?" ”

"It's not good to fight with the little devils, this time your third brigade is the main force, it's up to you whether you stab it well or not!" Ma Zheng said with a smile.

"Don't worry, team leader, we are all bandits, and we haven't done many good things, but we often do this bad thing, so you can see it!" Wu Xiuda said confidently.

"Fart, don't talk about your disgraceful background in the future, you must know that you are now the commander and fighter of our Eighth Route Army, and you will become a regiment commander, brigade commander or even a senior commander at the level of division commander in the future, you can't have such a heavy gangsterism!" Ma Zheng said solemnly.

"Yes!" Wu Xiuda knew that Ma Zheng was not joking with him, so he immediately straightened out.

Seeing Wu Xiuda's attitude and comparison, Ma Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and immediately said: "This time we want to beat the little devil, due to the limited time, we don't have time to finish fighting one and the other, so we can only act separately." Jining, Shangdu, and Chayouqian are the primary targets of this operation, and now I will arrange the task! ”

"Wu Xiuda, you lead two squadrons of troops to attack Chayouqian Banner, there is only one infantry squadron that is not fully staffed, and Tugui Ula Town has no city walls, how to turn around and think about it yourself!"

"Yes, mission guaranteed!"

"Ma Desheng, your cavalry squadron now has more than 300 people, I will give you another infantry squadron and forty vehicles, I want you to take the county seat of Shangdu. Similarly, there weren't many Japanese troops there, not even a squad, and the rest were newly formed two devils, clean up when you remember, and don't even leave me a single screw! ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

"Tie Niu, your special operations brigade and the rest of the troops are all moving with me, and our mission is to attack Jining. This is the permanent residence of the 11th Wing of the 26th Division, and it is also the lair of the 11th Wing. Ma Zheng said loudly
