Tachibana Koichiro's vision is not generally good, there are really more than 2,000 people who are engaged in the battle, the rest are drivers of motor vehicles, part of the logistics troops and artillery, especially artillery, the artillery of the reconnaissance regiment is almost universally popularized to the platoon, a platoon has a special mortar squad, a total of 3 mortars, more than 3000 people, at least more than 200 mortars of large and small calibers, plus 8 75 guns and 18 40 anti-aircraft guns, the artillery of the reconnaissance regiment, can almost be called armed to the teeth, Such a unit, when it met a lightly armed and simple one, did not carry heavy firepower Tachibana Koichiro, it was simply a natural suppression.

However, Chen Liang knows very well that his purpose is to block, not to create many results, their reconnaissance group, in the entire First Division, and even in the First Army, is a unique unit, not only the soldiers' Suzhì is first-class, even the equipment is first-class, the all-motorized experimental unit, the entire First Army has only such a luxurious lineup, 180 trucks and more than 200 three-wheeled motorcycles, other troops don't think about it at all, at most half of the logistics troops are equipped, Even a third of the trucks are not yet such heavy trucks that can be draped in armor.

In the face of the lack of heavy weapons and the urgent attack of Tachibana Koichiro's department, he can do a head-on attack, and even achieve defeat, but what about the next large Japanese army, they must hold this side, cut off the road for the Japanese army to go south, and buy time for the follow-up troops of the first division to come up, in this case, artillery fire cannot be used, because the weak neutral Hana Koichiro department encountered a sudden attack of artillery fire, and their only choice was to escape.

Koichiro Tachibana reorganized the troops. The entire battlefield fell into a state of stagnation, and Tachibana Koichiro, who was not in a hurry to attack, was also looking for countermeasures. It was almost calm for more than 40 minutes, and the Japanese side opposite. Then there was another move, and they chose to press the whole army, and the artillery that had been assembled was suppressed.

The Northwest Army, which had been prepared for a long time, hid in the fortifications that had been dug a long time ago, and the Tachibana Koichiro Division, which had only a dozen guns, did not have much impact on the front line at all, and when the artillery was suppressed, the Japanese army once again rushed to the front of the position. However, it was found that the Northwest Army withdrew from the first fortifications and retreated to the second fortifications, which were about 200 meters away from the first fortifications.

They didn't know that behind the side of the first fortification, two mysterious figures were silently calculating in separate bunkers. When the number reached a certain level, they pressed the button in their hands, which is a new electric detonating device from the Northwest Research Institute, which can quickly complete the ignition of explosives.

Electric current in an instant. Through the guò wire, it was transmitted to the first line of fortifications, buried deep underneath 1,200 kilograms of T(N)T. It exploded under the combined action of an electric current and a detonator, including porcelain and iron plates that were filled in to ensure damage. The first fortification, in an instant. It turned into hell, where countless fires and killings were staged.

Tachibana Koichiro's face darkened, he didn't expect at all, the other party would lay such a trap, as far as he saw, at least 1 brigade or so of troops rushed into the fortifications, facing such a dense, such a fierce bomb attack, the possibility of survival is very small, these Chinese are actually so ruthless, he did not expect it at all, there are so many explosives buried below, are the Chinese not afraid that the artillery ignites those explosives?

If Chen Liang heard Tachibana Koichiro's heart, he would definitely sue him directly, of course not, the stacking of explosives is average, and there is an isolation belt, and the detonators and wires are added in the back, coupled with the design of the trenches, the probability of being concentrated underground by large-caliber artillery from the outside is almost non-existent, in this case, it seems dangerous to stand on explosives to fight, in fact, it is quite safe, these have been systematically calculated and studied, and have a scientific basis.

The loss of more than 1,000 people again, plus the losses during the attack and retreat, almost 2,000 people, and the half of the division that came with 12,000 people lost almost half, almost 5,000 casualties, such losses were only caused in more than 2 hours. If it is replaced by the original establishment, this half of the division may be able to continue to hold on, this division is temporarily organized after landing, many people are not fixed members, originally when they landed, they were hit once, and now it is even worse, after more than half of the casualties, the low-level officers immediately could not suppress the soldiers below, and the soldiers began to panic.

At this time, Tachibana Koichiro also knew that the army was in turmoil, and if they didn't retreat at this time, they might not be able to retreat, but after a little hesitation, they decided to retreat, a broken rear force composed of almost 2 squadrons, and then the entire army moved in.

"Finally run, did you run?" Chen Liang smiled coldly, and then gave an order.

The blocking task has been basically completed, their position in the mountain pass, blocked the vanguard of the Japanese army for two and a half hours, this time is enough for part of the rear of the first division to catch up with the is, although the first division has not completed the full motorization, but with part of the motorized and the railway network throughout Qingdao, they have completed the detour, the three main infantry regiments of the first division, currently 7 kilometers behind their flank, has been less than 4 kilometers recently, for them, It only takes an hour to get here, and even if the follow-up troops of the Japanese army come, it is impossible to break through this mountain pass, so let the Japanese army stay as much as possible.

42 armored trucks came out of the crowd, roaring, rushing towards those Japanese soldiers, armored trucks were the idea of the bandits when they attacked Baotou, but after development, it became easy to assemble armored trucks composed of steel plates and barbed wire in front of them, although they could not resist the artillery, but ordinary bullets were still no problem, when these trucks formed a whole row, the power of machinery, seemed to unfold in the wilderness.

The only 2 squadrons of Japanese troops, even if most of the machine guns were concentrated, had no effect, the roaring wheels, the strong armored defense, easily resisted the bullets, the bullets hit them, sparks flew everywhere, but there was no effect, the most important thing was the 3 firing ports above, condescendingly strafing with light machine guns, light machine guns with a rate of fire of up to 600, under the support of a special bullet chain, can carry out long-term strafing, at most only a few minutes later, the barrel is replaced. At a distance of 1200 meters, it may take three to five minutes for an infantry charge, but for a group charge of armored trucks, it will take only a minute at most.

The reconnaissance regiment could not let the machine guns bombard, and the artillery in the rear began to attack, and 20 artillery pieces of different sizes and calibers began to attack the Japanese positions in front, clearing the fire points little by little, and all the mortars of the reconnaissance regiment began to deploy and pursued the Japanese troops.

In a minute, the situation was immediately reversed, in the face of the crushing of the armored train, after the first one was crushed to death, no one wanted to do this, although the Japanese army was brave, but the result of being crushed by the truck was still unwilling to accept, the weight of the truck itself was as high as 10 tons, plus the steel plates suspended on all sides, etc., almost 20 tons of weight, crushed almost into a broken corpse.

The panicked Japanese army, right in the arms of the reconnaissance group, followed by the armored truck, scattered sortie of three wheels, driving light machine guns to pursue, plus precision mortars, on the move, mortars are the best carrying weapons, no need to divide into parts, just a barrel, bracket and shells, after entering the position, the three parts are assembled together, you can fire, absolutely more than the rate of fire of ordinary artillery, after careful training, almost up to 100 shots of gunners, The lethal effect on the dense camp of the Japanese army was quite large.

Armored cars, high-density machine guns and mortars dealt a huge blow to the Japanese army in the lead, and the two squadrons of the Japanese army, without even 3 minutes of resistance, suffered more than half of the casualties and retreated. The reconnaissance regiment firmly occupied the initiative on the battlefield, and after the blocking of the mountain pass position and repelled the Japanese charge, the next battle was a real demonstration of the strength of the reconnaissance regiment, snipers, combat groups, lurking stations and ambush warfare, small battles, fighting in full swing, the Japanese army was completely defenseless against such a blow, and there was no possibility of escape.

Of course, Tachibana Koichiro knew that he desperately felt that the retreat order he had given before was a mistake, and he had to integrate and wait for reinforcements, otherwise, if he was divided and surrounded by those mechanized troops, it would be the result of the annihilation of the whole army, but unfortunately he woke up too late, such a high-intensity blow, let alone the Japanese army, was replaced by the German army, and it couldn't bear it, and the rest of the army collapsed all at once, and it couldn't even be integrated.

Even an officer of the Young Zhuang faction like Koichiro Tachibana, with the supervision team, shot dozens of routed soldiers in a row, but it did not stop the rout of the troops, and in the end, when only Koichiro Tachibana and a few hundred people around him were left, the defeat was unstoppable. The reconnaissance team achieved initial results, 3,000 people repelled the attack of 12,000 people, and let the other side suffer more than eighty percent of the casualties, after continuing to pursue for 20 minutes, cleaned up all the large areas of the enemy, Chen Liang also ordered the troops to stop, it took too long to collect the remaining soldiers, anyway, the direction of their escape is also the direction of the Japanese landing, waiting for the future to deal with, he has completed this task excellently, stuck the main road of the Japanese army to the south and west, if the Japanese army does not wake up and continue to march, waiting for them will be an impregnable defense.
