Chapter 345: The Eighth Route Army's Blocking Battle

A few little devils of this Mizuno brigade had only walked a few hundred meters forward when they found that there were several soldiers wearing gray cloth uniforms more than 200 meters in front of them, standing guard there with rifles.

Seeing this scene, these little devils were overjoyed, and secretly said in their hearts, they finally found the eight roads, but these little devils couldn't figure out the reality in front of them, and they didn't dare to shoot rashly, so these little devils quietly retreated.

Several little devils who successfully retreated back immediately reported to their captain Yuji Mizuno with a happy face, and heard that Yuji Mizuno had found eight roads ahead, and Yuji Mizuno, who had been in the Taihang Mountains for a few days, was very happy, and shouted excitedly: "Yo Xi, Yo Xi." ”

It didn't take long for dozens of people from an infantry squad of the little devil to start a tentative attack, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were standing guard found the anomaly in front of them before the infantry squad of the little devil approached.

A little soldier standing guard first noticed that there were dozens of little devils two or three hundred meters away, who were quietly moving forward under the cover of trees and big stones, and looked farther away, and there were many little devils, afraid that there was a brigade, so he immediately shouted: "Squad leader, look, there are a lot of little devils." ”

Following the direction pointed by the little soldier, the squad leader of the Eighth Route Army, who was leading the team to stand guard, saw that there were at least dozens of little devils in front of him, and they were touching this side.

After firing this shot, the squad leader shouted anxiously while ordering the soldiers to enter the combat post: "Ergui, go and inform the battalion commander quickly!" ”

In fact, the gunshot just now was enough for the Eighth Route Army behind to hear it, and this soldier ran over to report, at most he could only explain the enemy situation.

The little warrior who had just discovered these little devils immediately trotted all the way and ran to the back. And the little devil in front knew that he had been discovered by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, but the little devil squad leader who led the attack was not in a hurry to attack, but looked at several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in front of him from a distance and laughed arrogantly.

After waiting for a long time, the little devil squad leader felt that he had laughed enough, so he began to raise his command knife and order the little devil to attack.

For a while, the gunfire was loud, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were standing guard had already fallen down and slowly retreated to the back, and within two minutes, these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army standing guard entered the defensive position that had been built long ago.

Not long after the little devils fired, they saw a lot of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army running towards this side, entering defensive positions one after another, and shooting at the attacking sixty or seventy little devils.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who entered the defensive position this time had at least one company, and the number was almost twice that of the little devils, and there were more soldiers of the Eighth Route Army running towards this side, although the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were not as sophisticated as the little devils, but there were many of them.

Several Czech light machine guns on the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army immediately fired happily, and several imps who were on the scene were immediately knocked down.

But immediately, the little devils returned the color, and two grenadiers began to fire grenades at the positions of the Eighth Route Army, and immediately several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were killed, and several crooked machine guns of the little devils were also set up to cover the little devils to charge forward.

For a while, the infantry squad of this little devil was on par with the defending Eighth Route Army, but in less than ten minutes, with the arrival of reinforced Eighth Route Army soldiers, the little devils began to be unable to hold on.

Seeing this, the captain of the little devil squad immediately ordered the little devils to withdraw while fighting, and the little devils finally withdrew after more than a dozen dead and wounded, but on the side of the Eighth Route Army, the dead and wounded comrades were not less than the little devils.

The little devils had just withdrawn, and the commander of the Eighth Route Army Guard Battalion, who was in charge of the security of the arsenal, happened to arrive here with a comrade from an infantry company.

The comrades of the Eighth Route Army who participated in the battle just now saw that the little devils had retreated, and their own battalion commander also rushed over with many comrades, and many comrades of the Eighth Route Army cheered.

But the battalion commander Han who rushed here had a serious face, you know, a few kilometers behind him is the Huangyadong Arsenal, today, there happen to be a lot of chiefs inspecting the arsenal, the battalion commander Han thought in his heart, this group of damn little devils, what are you doing here at this time.

It didn't take long for Battalion Commander Han to take his telescope and observe carefully, there were really a lot of little devils in front of him, and there were nearly a thousand people in number, this was really a field infantry brigade of little devils.

After watching it for less than two minutes, Battalion Commander Han could be sure that it was indeed a little devil in front of an infantry brigade Undoubtedly, these damn little devils, Battalion Commander Han cursed again in his heart.

I only have one battalion of soldiers, and the current situation is that the enemy is outnumbered, and it is difficult for me to be the opponent of the little devils, but fortunately, twenty minutes ago, as soon as I got the report, I had already sent the communication troops to ride to the arsenal to inform the chiefs.

Battalion Commander Han thought in his heart that as long as the leaders knew about the enemy's situation, they would definitely call nearby troops to reinforce them, and the task of his battalion would become to hold on to and wait for reinforcements, as long as they held this place for two hours, it would be victory.

Now, on the side of the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers of this guard battalion have entered the defensive position, and the defensive position of the Eighth Route Army has completely cut off the road into the arsenal, and if the little devil wants to advance, he must break through the defensive position of the Eighth Route Army.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the defensive position are all preparing for battle, but fortunately, the soldiers of this guard battalion are mostly veterans, and in the face of a large number of little devils, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have no fear.

In terms of the little devils, the little devil squad that tried to attack just now has retreated, and the little devil squad leader is bowing his head and bending down to report to the little devil captain, and the little devil captain has seen more clearly with a telescope in the battle just now.

Now after listening to the report of the little devil squad leader, the little devil captain put down the binoculars and said happily: "Artillery squad, shell the position of the Eighth Route Army in front." ”

This time, the captain of the little devil brigade adopted the old routine of the little devil, first trying to attack, then shelling to clear the fire point, and then charging on a large scale.

This routine of the little devils has been tried and tested repeatedly on the Chinese battlefield, and it can always receive miraculous results, mainly because the squadron lacks heavy weapons, and the only few machine guns are knocked out by the artillery fire of the little devils, and it is generally difficult to resist in the face of a large number of little devils charging behind.

Not long after, the little devil's artillery squad, a total of 6 mortars, began to shell the position of the Eighth Route Army, and one shell after another exploded violently on the position of the Eighth Route Army, and many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army died under the fire of the little devil.

Fortunately, the shelling of the little devil did not last long, but even so, there were dozens of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, sleeping on this land, and the battalion commander Han looked at the sacrificed soldiers and was very distressed.

But there are so many leaders in the back, their positions cannot be lost, even if they fight to the last man, they must stick here and cannot be shaken.

As soon as the shelling of the little devils stopped, about two squadrons, nearly 500 little devils touched up, it seems that the captain of the little devil brigade has made a bloody investment this time, and wants to defeat the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side in one fell swoop.

Many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army saw that a large number of little devils had begun to touch their waists, and the soldiers were ready for battle, holding guns, and aiming at the little devils in the distance.

This time, the weapons of the fighters were basically rifles, and the only machine guns were basically destroyed by the focus of the little devil mortars in the shelling just now.

Battalion Commander Han looked at so many little devils, and the little devils were getting closer and closer, Battalion Commander Han stood up and shouted: "Comrades, behind us is the Huangyadong Arsenal, today the deputy commander-in-chief and General Secretary Zhang of the 36th Group Army are inspecting our arsenal, and our defense line must not be lost. ”

"Fight with the little devil!" Many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army began to roar.

"Comrades, our task is to hold on for two hours, and within two hours, our reinforcements will arrive." The battalion commander shouted to cheer up the soldiers.

When the big battle began, Liu Xing, the leader of the special combat team, had already arrived here with 20 special combat team members, and they were hidden not far from the defensive position of the guard battalion.

Now, neither the little devils nor the Eighth Route Army have found these special combat personnel who are close at hand.

Liu Xing saw that there were at least two infantry squads of little devils coming towards the position of the Eighth Route Army, and the number of little devils in the two squadrons was not much less than the number of the Eighth Route Army, and the little devils were well-equipped, and through the observation just now, the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army seemed to have been blown up.

With these rifles, it is really unknown whether they can withstand these well-armed little devils, and Liu Xing's heart is also worried about these Eighth Route Army.

Seeing that the little devils were getting closer and closer, the two sides would exchange fire in a few minutes, so Liu Xing said to all the special combat team members: "Prepare for battle, the snipers will seize the highest points on both sides, and the rest of the personnel will take two or three people as a combat team to give me a hard blow to the little devils." ”

After receiving the order, in less than ten seconds, the special combat team members disappeared cleanly, and only two special combat team members with AK-47 assault rifles remained by Liu Xing's side, and Liu Xing and these two team members will be a combat team.

Seeing that everyone had disappeared between the woods and the big rocks, Liu Xing also took these two special combat team members in a scattered formation, each of them more than ten meters away from each other, and touched the little devils.

On the defensive position of the Eighth Route Army, the Han battalion commander had a solemn face, so many little devils, it seems that the little devils are really not good, a platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army next to him, seeing that the little devils are getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Battalion commander, the little devils are getting closer and closer, let's shoot." ”
