With the strength of the 51st Army, the main force of nearly two divisions under its command captured the outlying positions of the Japanese army in the east of the town in one fell swoop. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Xu Youchang, who watched the troops successfully rush into the village, also couldn't help but wave his fist twice excitedly.

Although the capture of a small village with only one infantry brigade is indeed not a proud thing. However, the fall of the eastern blocking position will also pose a major threat to the entire outer defense system of the Japanese army.

He Zhengdao, who also received the news, was also very satisfied when he learned that the main force of the 51st Army had entered the small village garrisoned by the Japanese army. Anyway, Xu Youchang didn't waste the opportunity he gave away.

Looking at Li Xiangdong beside him, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Take advantage of the victory to pursue, and order our reconnaissance and combat detachment to launch a sabotage battle against the little devil." I believe that the little devils in the southern position at this time should be a little panicked. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

In He Zhengdao's view, if he can successfully take the three peripheral blocking positions in the east, south, and west where the Japanese army sent troops to garrison tonight. That means that the Japanese army hiding in the small town can only stick to the small town.

In this case, even if the Japanese army had a heavy artillery wing, their range would be greatly limited. Even when the artillery bombardment began, the mountain artillery units of the attacking troops were able to form an effective threat to their heavy artillery positions.

Put bayonets on the artillery, which is also one of the reasons why He Zhengdao wants to compress the Japanese garrison area!

If the range is not enough, then the distance of the shelling will be shortened. Lower the range of the little devil's heavy artillery and create better offensive conditions for the attacking troops. This is also the reason why He Zhengdao is willing to give the credit for capturing the eastern position to the 51st Army.

It was learned that the 51st Army, which had broken through the blocking position to the east, had advanced its troops to the entrance to the town. Fujie Keisuke was really a little angry and said, "Yaga! How so? How could they attack so quickly? ”

In fact, when the first regiment launched the attack, the second regiment of the 113th Division of the 51st Army detoured to the back of the village and began to set up blocking positions. As for not attacking the town, they knew that they couldn't attack it alone.

After all, the little devil was at the entrance of the town, and he still arranged a blocking position. If we attack, I am afraid that more officers and soldiers will be killed. In this regard, Xu Youchang still thinks very clearly, and is not greedy to expand his achievements.

Despite the strength of a regiment, it is not possible to pose an effective threat to the main forces of the little devils stationed in the town. It can block the Japanese army that comes to help, and it is more or less enough. After some confrontation, the little devil who sent troops to reinforce retreated reasonably.

Seeing the little devil retract again, the second head of the regiment, who was still worried before, immediately smiled and said, "Okay!" The little devils withdrew, and they were afraid that they knew that they were powerless to return to the sky, and we finally took this village. ”

As the commander of the 2nd Regiment had predicted, the 114th Division, which had attacked from the flank, converged with the 114th Division, which had rushed into the village. The gunfire in the entire village gradually subsided, and only a few troops pursued the fleeing little devils.

For these little devils who fled for their lives like stragglers, it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated. The commander of the 114th Division, who led the command, also said excitedly: "Go, report to the military seat, we have already taken the position of the little devil." ”

'Yes, Master! ’

While taking the village, the division commander did not forget to send another main regiment to reinforce the 2nd Regiment of the 113th Division that had been blocked earlier. Seeing a regimental reinforcement coming from the rear, the second regiment of the 113th Division also breathed a sigh of relief.

When Keisuke Fujie and the staff officers of the headquarters began to discuss whether to recapture the small village to the east. The reconnaissance battalion, which had previously cooperated with the 51st Army, was also lurking on the flank of the Japanese army to the south, quietly waiting for the order to attack.

Compared with the previous reconnaissance battalion attack, most of them carried the 38 big covers of little devils. At this moment, the reconnaissance battalion, which was on the task of raiding, had already changed their weapons when they were descending the mountain, and most of the officers and men had replaced their rifles with submachine guns.

The reason for changing weapons is also because submachine guns are more suitable for melee assaults. For this reason, without waiting for Keisuke Fujie to discuss specific remedies, a phone call interrupted their meeting again.

'General, the southern position is in an emergency, their flank is under fierce attack by the Eighth Route Army, and they are in urgent need of reinforcements! ’

Also at this time, Lin Tie, who was lurking in the town, was carrying dozens of soldiers. On the road where reinforcements enter and exit, dig holes as fast as possible and bury the mines brought in one by one on the road.

'Hurry up! The little devil should be coming out soon! Hurry up and bury the mines, we will try to delay the reinforcements of the little devils. ’

Lin Tie, who had seen three flares before, knew that this was an order for the troops to attack. The troops in front, responsible for solving the little devils in front. These people serve as blocking forces for the attacking troops.

Hundreds of mines, skillfully laid by Lin Tie and others, soon laid a minefield of nearly one kilometer on the road from the town to the southern position.

Whether it is the little devil who has been withdrawn from the front, or the little devil who has been supported from the town, as long as he takes this road, he will pay a heavy price. If you want to sweep away these hundreds of mines, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time.

Lin Lei and others, who had planted the mines, did not leave there. Instead, they soon lurked in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road. If the little devil is willing to spend his blood and use people to step on the thunder, then Lin Tie and others will also have to buy time for the main force.

If the little devils who support them stop moving forward when they see that the road ahead is blocked, then they continue to lurk. After all, the task they received was to flank the attack of the main forces in front. They are not to be revealed to the town unless necessary.

Although they can't mix in the town center, they can still move freely in the area from the village to the town. Even if the Japanese army wants to carry out a search, I am afraid that it will also cost heavy troops to search and arrest.

And at night, it undoubtedly makes this kind of manhunt more difficult. The Japanese troops stationed in the town before had actually carried out an investigation when they were armed. But the mountains around the town provide them with the best hiding spots.

Three signal flares rose into the air, and the reconnaissance battalion led by Chen Siming immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions in front. Even if there are not many troops in a battalion, the combat effectiveness of a reconnaissance battalion is only far superior to that of a regiment of the 51st Army before.

It was also the time when the grenade was thrown before the attack, and the Japanese troops in charge of defense in the trenches were blown up. The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion did not shout too much, and took advantage of the smoke formed by the grenades to rush into the Japanese trenches.

The three-person attack team followed the trench tunnels dug by the little devils and continued to expand the offensive territory. Many Japanese soldiers who dodged grenade attacks were just about to counterattack, but they waited for a string of life-threatening tongues of fire.

The sound of submachine guns soon resounded in the flank positions of the Japanese army. The attacking detachments that alternately covered continued to advance along the trenches through skillful coordination, killing the Japanese troops who came to support one by one in the trenches.

When approaching a bend in the trench, the attacking warrior would often say, "Reward a grenade first!" ”

As the warrior in the middle draws out a grenade and throws it at it, the attacking team member who is the leader will rush out, clinging to the trench while holding the submachine gun in his hand. And at this time, you can often hear the screams of the little devils in the trenches.

Along the way, there were screams from the Japanese army, and the attacking team members in charge of dropping the bombs would also quickly throw a grenade again at the place where the sound came from. This may seem slow, but it's safer and faster.

Looking at the fierce gunfire coming from the flank position, the Japanese troops who were in charge of the defense of the southern position also looked a little panicked. At the same time as the rear reinforcement was requested, all the reserves were sent out, hoping to recapture the captured flank positions.

In the face of these Japanese troops who came to support, if the Japanese soldiers came from above the position, they were waiting for them by the machine gunners of the reconnaissance battalion. The machine gunners who seized the commanding heights of the position were specifically responsible for shooting these Japanese soldiers running on the position.

If you don't take the position and go to the trenches, although you can avoid the strafing fire of the machine gunners, it is also difficult to escape the battle of the clearing detachment. Despite the detachments attacking along the trenches, casualties also occurred from time to time. But in many cases, the follow-up team members will be added.

If there are injured players, they are quickly moved to the back for bandaging. The sacrificial team members were properly placed in place and waited for the battle to be reined in. Such battlefield discipline is well known to the officers and men of every reconnaissance battalion.

The Japanese troops, who were dispatched to reinforce the flank positions, soon discovered that their forward positions also had the offensive forces of the Eighth Route Army. Under the cover of a burst of mortars, the attacking troops rushed into their trenches like black ghosts.

The opening of a gap often means the fall of an entire trench. Such a speed of attack made the panicked Japanese army, who was shot by the sniper unit themselves, finally couldn't help but retreat to the rear in a hurry.

In the face of these Japanese troops who had no intention of fighting, the reconnaissance brigade responsible for the attack also hung behind the Japanese troops and continued to advance. In addition to clearing the remnants of the stubborn resistance of the Japanese on the position, the entire southern position was gradually taken over.

Xu Youchang, who had just sent a telegram to the theater headquarters, was also very curious when he heard the much more intense gunfire coming from the southern position. Not long after, scouts were sent to inquire about the situation, and they came back to report the news.

'What? You said that the Eighth Route Army has already attacked the position of the little devils? ’

'Yes, Throne! Judging by the sound of gunfire, they had already captured the main positions of the Japanese troops. I'm afraid that it won't be long before they can end the battle. ’

As soon as these words came out, Xu Youchang was stunned for a while and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I still underestimate this unit of the Eighth Route Army, if every Eighth Route Army has this kind of strength now, then it is really unknown who this world will belong to in the future." ”

The strength of military power can sometimes determine the future of a political party. It is clear that when the Eighth Route Army was reorganized, there were Xu Youchang of the ten main divisions. It's really hard to believe that the other main divisions are the same as the 67th Army, how terrifying is that kind of strength!

And He Zhengdao also hopes that while giving benefits to these friendly forces, he will also show off his muscles like them. At least let them know that the strength of the Eighth Route Army today is actually not inferior to the Central Army! (To be continued.) )
