Yudaokou, a small place bordering Duolun but under the jurisdiction of Rehe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It was only with the capture of Duolun by the Eighth Route Army, the mixed brigade of the Japanese army soon established their rear barracks in a small county town not far from Yudaokou.

During the period of confrontation between the two armies, most of the battles between the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese cavalry, scouts and scouts, were carried out around the Yudaokou. The people who lived here in the past also moved away before the war.

Everyone knows that once the two armies start to clash, then this will also become a theater of war between the two armies. If you don't leave early, God knows if the shells on both sides of the war will fall on the villages where the people live.

As the mixed brigade received an order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, it was also preparing to start an offensive battle against the Eighth Route Army in the early morning. A reconnaissance battalion of the special division deployed at the Yudaokou also began to make intense arrangements.

In the past, you could still see Japanese scouts and rangers moving here from time to time, but tonight these little devils seem to have disappeared. Coupled with the news from the reconnaissance team of the lurking military camp in front, the reconnaissance battalion also guessed that the Japanese army was going to attack.

'Quick, plant a few mines here. In addition, in Area 1, some explosives were planted in advance. That place, very suitable for laying artillery positions. The detonation fuse is buried a little deeper, don't let the little devils find out in advance. ’

The reconnaissance battalion that entered this area earlier than the little devil is also very clear about the terrain here. According to the existing terrain, laying out some countermeasures in advance is also something that the reconnaissance battalion is good at.

Although the layout of the front line of this position may not necessarily be as expected by the reconnaissance battalion. But for the reconnaissance battalion, they believe that these planted mines will come in handy sooner or later.

Regardless of whether the little devil is really ready to attack or not. Even if their reconnaissance troops want to carry out reconnaissance on the positions of the Eighth Route Army, they will inevitably step on these mines laid in advance.

If the little devils are really ready to attack, then they can't push their troops too far ahead, and they always have to find some best positions to set up camp. Empathy is also the operational concept instilled by He Zhengdao into these scouts.

Assuming that you are the commander of the little devils, what kind of arrangement should you take to attack. Then when they lay these traps in advance, they will also bury mines in relatively important places in advance, waiting for the little devils to step on them.

The little devils in the mixed brigade rested in advance to prepare for the early morning battle. On the defensive position of the 2nd Infantry Division, except for the troops on duty, the rest of the troops also entered the anti-artillery pits of the positions to rest.

For the officers and men of these units who participated in the war, it was not pleasant to know that sleeping in the anti-artillery pits. But compared to staying on the position to blow the cold wind, they still prefer to nest in the anti-artillery pit and quietly wait for the arrival of the little devil.

The reconnaissance detachment of the special division, which has been paying attention to the movements of the little devils, watched the time on the watch slip away little by little, and saw that it was not much time before dawn. The originally quiet little devil camp seems to have become lively.

The scout, who was also resting in the individual bunker, was quickly woken up by his partner next to him: "Wake up, there is a situation!" ”

Soon opened his eyes and began to observe the situation of the Japanese camp through the telescope, and it did not take long to see the cavalry units of the Japanese camp. The rest of the infantry and artillery seem to be in full swing to prepare.

'Looks like the little devil is planning to go to war at dawn!' Quick, get the news back and get our troops ready for battle. These cavalrymen who came out of the camp also wanted to explore the way for the main force, should they kill them? ’

Facing the words of a scout of the Eighth Route Army, the partner next to him rolled his eyes and said, "See clearly, the little devil cavalry who came out of the camp before has at least one cavalry brigade." This black light is blinding, and it is so easy to deal with.

Send the news back to the rear first, whether they can be collected or not depends on what the battalion commander thinks. Next is the offensive and defensive battle, the cavalry of these little devils is not of much use in the first place, and it should be more likely to serve as a vigilance mission. ”

After exchanging views with each other, one continued to lurk and observe the movements of the Japanese army, while the other began to deliver the news. By the time the little devil cavalry arrived outside the royal crossing, the Eighth Route Army had already received the information.

In order to paralyze the little devils, the combat troops on the battlefield who had been woken up also stayed in the anti-artillery pits and began to make pre-war preparations. As for the defenders on the position, they always keep an eye on the movement in the sky.

Once the little devils launch an artillery bombardment, they will also rush into the nearest anti-artillery pit in the shortest possible time. As for those little devil cavalrymen who scouted before the battle, they didn't need to pay much attention to it at all.

At least the officers and men of the Eighth Route guarding the position knew that at the front of their position, there was a group of more elite troops on guard. With those people in front, they can stay on the ground with such peace of mind.

The captain of the Japanese cavalry brigade who arrived at the Yudaokou looked at the quiet open area in front of him, and said very carefully: "Let a small team go over and feel the situation and see if there are any scouts from the Eighth Route nearby." ”

'Hey! ’

The herald beside him quickly gave the order of the cavalry captain. For this kind of thing to touch the situation in advance, the assigned cavalry squad was somewhat helpless. They all know that this kind of reconnaissance is actually very dangerous.

During this time, they also sent a lot of scouts here. But many times, these scout teams often go and never return. In this dangerous area, the reconnaissance force of the Eighth Route is far more elite than they imagined.

With this cavalry squad, they cautiously entered the royal road crossing and searched around for the movements of the Eighth Route Army. A cavalryman at the front of the line, who was glad not to notice any movement around him, heard a loud noise from beneath him.

A 'boom' explosion sounded, and the little devil cavalry, along with the war horse he was riding, fell in a pool of blood. Even the two little devil cavalrymen who followed him were also caught off guard and fell under the war horse.

'Yaga! It's a mine again! ’

The experienced little devil cavalry immediately realized that the cavalryman who was killed should have unfortunately stepped on a mine. During this time, most of the reconnaissance troops they sent here had tasted the mines of the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, they have also buried some mines and made some traps here. Unfortunately, what they did didn't seem to have had any effect. It's as if as long as they show up here, someone will be watching them every move.

In fact, it is normal for little devils to have this kind of thought, because here at the Royal Road Pass, the special division has dug a lot of underground individual bunker pits. After some grooming, it is as difficult to find people as if they were buried in the ground.

Unless the little devil is willing to dig into the ground, it is difficult to find these scouts of the Eighth Route Army who only show their heads to reconnoitre. As soon as the little devils approached, when they approached the underground bunker tunnels, they would only find that they were nothing more than a pile of bushes or grass.

In fact, the bottom has long been hollowed out, and one or two scouts of the Eighth Route Army are quietly hiding there, watching their every move. In this case, it is normal to find the traps they have laid.

The reconnaissance battalion of the special division, which was also hidden in the shadows, watched the mines laid in the open area being stepped on by the little devils, and said with a smile: "If you want to sneak up on us, these little devils will really be whimsical!" ”

In fact, the captain of the cavalry brigade couldn't understand why the brigade asked them to come over first to explore the way. But the original intention of the brigade commander was to hope that the cavalry brigade would come over and attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army, so that the Eighth Route Army would feel that this was just a contest between scouts from both sides.

After all, during this time, the scouts on both sides have already engaged in many rounds of confrontation at the Royal Road Pass. Occasional gunshots and explosions are common. If you can't hear it, it will feel abnormal!

With the help of the cavalry brigade, it attracted the attention of the reconnaissance troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the main force of the brigade that followed up could also open the frame to carry out a surprise attack. Even if you know that the effect may not be great, but it is a good thing to be able to catch the Eighth Route Army off guard.

The captain of the Japanese cavalry brigade, who was staying behind to pay attention to the situation of the cavalry squad, listened to the sound of the explosion and the screams coming from the front, and said angrily: "Baga, these Balu will engage in these low-level yin tricks!" ”

Even if he doesn't look down on the Eighth Route Army's means of burying mines, he must admit that there are not a few elite scouts of the Japanese army who have been planted in such a small trick as the Eighth Route Army during this time. Speaking of which, they also hate this kind of little trick!

Finding that there may have been mines planted in front, the cavalry squad marked the minefield had no choice but to choose another road to continue the reconnaissance. But when it came to scouting, they were more careful than before.

And at this moment, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the special division, who was hiding in the shadows, sneered and said: "Let the sniper team go up and kill the little devils and the little devil cavalry who broke in." As soon as the cavalry in the rear followed, immediately shift the blocking position. ”

Knowing their mission here, it's more of a scout to eliminate the little devils. As for the task of defending the main force of the little devils, the 2nd Infantry Division, which was staying in position at the moment, waiting for the mixed brigade to launch an attack, was responsible.

It didn't take long to hear the rapid sound of gunfire like fried beans coming from the front, and the cavalry captain immediately said: "Cavalry Squadron No. 1, up!" Find those damn sneak attackers and chase them down to kill them. ”

When a cavalry squadron quickly shot out to attack, looking at these little devil cavalry who came to reinforce them, the Eighth Route Army of the sniper squad was also very simple, turned over and got on the horse before the little devil arrived, and soon disappeared into the night again.

This kind of combat method of withdrawing when you get cheap is really painful for the little devils. Looking at the cavalry of a small team, after the previous round of blows, when there were less than ten people left, the cavalry brigade also felt a toothache.

You must know that in the mixed brigade, these cavalry are the elite troops of the brigade. If you lose one, it's a big loss. What's more, this is almost a squad of cavalry and expensive war horses! (To be continued.) )
