Chapter 217: The Great Havoc in the Heavenly Palace (2)

"Report to the head of the regiment, the political commissar, is there a situation...?" The platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon ran over sweating profusely and said.

"Specifically, what's going on?" The commissar asked.

"A convoy of devils is coming this way, a total of six cars loaded with all kinds of supplies and ammunition, starting with two three-wheeled motorcycles, and the number of troops serving as escorts is about a small team, and it will be over in ten minutes." "Well, six cars, a squad of troops, with one battalion can quickly solve the battle, a battalion commander, this task will be handed over to your battalion, do you have the confidence to solve the battle within ten minutes." Regiment Commander Luo Zhihui looked at the battalion commander beside him and asked.

"Report to the regiment commander, political commissar, the first battalion guarantees to complete the task...", the commander of the first battalion replied with an oath, "Okay, you go and arrange it!" When the time comes, the mortar company of the regiment will cooperate with you to destroy the enemy. Luo Zhihui ordered.

"Yes." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the battlefield.

Sure enough, the situation was the same as what the reconnaissance platoon commander said, and within a few minutes of the first battalion commander leaving, a burst of machine gun fire reached everyone's ears. Regiment Commander Luo Zhihui picked up the binoculars and saw that the two motorcycles at the head of the army were each holding a light machine gun with crooked handles, and the machine gunner was sitting in the saddle of the car and strafing the mountain beams on both sides of the road. Using the most old-fashioned firepower reconnaissance to test whether there is an enemy situation on the mountain beams on both sides of the road.

Seeing that there was no movement on the mountain beams on both sides of the road, the devil seemed to be relieved. Driving the car, swaggering into the valley... When the first tricycle of the army was about to walk out of the ravine, Luo Zhihui, who was wondering why the commander of the first battalion had not yet attacked, suddenly heard a whistling sound. At this moment, Taniguchi turned into a sea of fire, and the devil's first three-wheeled motorcycle was undoubtedly torn to pieces directly by the dense artillery fire. And then the second three-wheeled motorcycle, the first car, did not escape this fate.

Under the impact of the powerful habit of the car, knowing that there was a sea of fire in front of him, the cars and motorcycles of the army still rushed forward in a hurry. The reason why this happened was because all this came so suddenly that the driver of the army did not have any time to react.

Seeing that Taniguchi had been completely sealed by artillery fire, the regiment commander breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, blocking the valley mouth, the first battalion was not polite, and immediately all the light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and grenades were all aimed at the last five cars of the convoy.

In the face of flying bullets and countless grenades, the five cars behind him were not much better than the one in front. Those devils who were attacked and were just about to jump out of the car to fight back, just stretched out a leg, they were hit by a flurry of bullets and hung upside down on the car.

However, there were still more than a dozen old devils with combat experience who dodged the first round of shooting, quickly jumped out of the car and hid under the car, and began to shoot at the first battalion. In the face of the devil's accurate marksmanship, the soldiers with cover cover still quickly suffered casualties, and the battalion commander looked at everything in front of him anxiously, although he was anxious, but there was no way. Because the devils are hiding under the car, it is impossible for the light and heavy machine guns in the hands of the fighters to penetrate the thick underneath of the car.

"Battalion commander, we must quickly deal with the remaining dozen or so veterans, now the soldiers have been killed and injured by almost a squad, if they are not solved, the casualties of the soldiers will be even greater, the devil's marksmanship is too accurate, and the hiding is good..."The battalion instructor ran to the side of the battalion commander and said eagerly.

"I see, grenadiers, grenadiers," the battalion commander shouted loudly behind him.

In order to make up for the shortcomings of the heavy firepower at the level of the rapid reaction brigade battalion, Liu Hua equipped each infantry battalion with a grenadier squad with a total of 6 grenadiers. You know, for many times, these six grenadiers played a very important role.

"Battalion commander, instructor, is there any task, please give an order!" Soon, the squad leader of the grenadier squad came to the front of the position with more than a dozen fighters behind him carrying grenadiers and ammunition, and asked excitedly.

"Well, I'll give you half a minute, give it to me, the devil's ammunition truck was blown up, horse, little devil, I don't know how to let you die." The battalion commander commanded loudly.

"Yes, battalion commander, guarantee to complete the mission." As he spoke, he took the soldiers of his squad and began to aim on the spot.

"Bang bang bang..." A few slight noises reached the ears of the battalion commander, and in a blink of an eye, several violent explosions were remembered on the road under the mountain beam, among which two devils' ammunition trucks were directly hit, and the detonated ammunition tore the entire car to shreds at once, and the devils hiding at the bottom of the car did not know where they were blown up for a long time.

"Wait a minute, don't fire yet..."The battalion commander suddenly stopped the grenadier squad who wanted to continue firing. Because he saw that one of the ammunition trucks that was hit was all loaded with shells. The shells that were not detonated were flying everywhere under the impetus of a powerful wave of air. Sure enough, less than a few seconds before the battalion commander stopped the grenadier squad from firing, a box of ammunition that had been thrown high landed on an ammunition truck next to it, causing another burst of explosion... Maybe it was because the devils under the first two cars were blown to pieces, which seriously hit the fighting spirit and morale of the remaining devils, and in the face of the cars that would tear their bodies apart at any time, the remaining little devils of less than a squad got out of the cars to protect them, and launched the final suicidal charge against the Eighth Route Army on the mountain beam with a rifle with a good bayonet.

With the sound of the last heavy machine gun, the only dozen devils left on the position all fell on the way to charge....There was no longer a living soldier on the position, and the battalion commander finally breathed a sigh of relief. When the ammunition that was being detonated below stopped, the commander of the first battalion ordered the soldiers to rush out and clean up the battlefield.

"Report to the regiment commander, political commissar, the devil convoy has been wiped out by us, the squad that served as an escort has not survived, our army has lost 12 soldiers, 2 people are seriously injured, and 20 people are slightly injured, but... However, there are only two of the devil's six ammunition trucks left, and the rest have all been blown up by bombs..."At the end of the statement, the first battalion commander almost lowered his head.

"Hehe, it's okay, isn't it just the ammunition of a few cars, will there be fewer devil ammunition trucks passing by here these days. We're still afraid that it hasn't been seized. Order the fighters to withdraw from the position, let's eliminate one of his convoys here, there will definitely be a devil's plane to help in the battle, let's not make this brow, when the devil's plane leaves, we are coming back. The regiment commander was not at all unhappy because of the small number of seizures, and said with a smile.

"Yes, regimental commander, I'll go and give an order...."Listening to the regiment commander's words, the first battalion commander breathed a sigh of relief.

"Regiment Commander, just now you said that we are going to go back here again to fight the devil's ambush, I heard you right! You know, this is a taboo in the art of war! The political commissar next to him saw that the commander of the first battalion had left, and hurriedly reminded him.

"Hehe, commissar, you're thinking too much. You can think about it from a different perspective. Even you think that it is taboo in the art of war for me to ambush a convoy of devils several times in the same place, what do you think devils think? I said, the terrain here is so good, we don't have to use it in vain..."Luo Zhihui replied easily without a little nervousness.

"Yes, why didn't I think of it, hehe, Commander, it seems that I really thought about it... I'll immediately order the troops to retreat into the mountains behind me." With that, he left with the guards.

As of the two cars seized, one was a bullet and the other was a can. Therefore, it was very convenient for the fighters to carry it, and in less than a few minutes, the two cars were carried out. The warriors carried the loot they had captured and quickly disappeared from the battlefield.

Sure enough, the situation on the battlefield was the same as what Commander Luo Zhihui expected, and less than ten minutes after the soldiers left, there was a roar of planes over the battlefield, and two planes appeared on the battlefield just now. Seeing that the battlefield was already empty, the two pilots did not give up, but swept the mountain beams on both sides of the road, threw all the bombs they carried, and then flew back.

Of course, all this did not escape the eyes of the reconnaissance platoon, which saw that the plane had left after dropping the bomb. After lunch, the soldiers quickly returned to the battlefield to repair the trench bunkers damaged by the Japanese planes. Since there had already been an ambush and the battlefield had been bombed by military aircraft, this time the soldiers did not care about it and began to rebuild a large number of fortifications...

In this way, in the next two days, under the command of Luo Zhihui, the Second Regiment successively eliminated a convoy of 12 taels of cars and a convoy of 6 cars by virtue of the favorable terrain. And they eliminated more than one squadron of the army before and after, and successfully completed the task assigned to them by the commander Liu Hua. Not a single bullet was allowed, and a grain was delivered to the Sakai Brigade in Zhouzhuang.

At this time, the Sakai Brigade really reached a time when it was impossible to advance or retreat, and the military rations that were originally two days had been compressed into three days' rations. However, three days later, there was still no supply as it should be. The soldiers were hungry at this time, and in order to preserve the physical strength of the soldiers, except for the necessary sentries, the entire brigade was huddled in the barracks to conserve their physical strength.

Faced with such a situation, although Major General Sakai repeatedly requested the withdrawal of troops from General Terauchi of the North China Headquarters, he was unconditionally vetoed. Although got some airdrops from the North China headquarters. However, those scarce grains can be said to be very small in the face of the main brigade of several thousand people.

Although the Sakai Brigade at this time has completely become the fat on Liu Hua's lips. However, Liu Hua was not in a hurry to bite. Because the camel that starved to death was also bigger than the horse, Liu Hua waited until he was even weaker.

At this moment, Shen Qinghua of the first regiment and Wang Benqing of the third regiment had already arrived at the designated position with their troops, and were waiting for the arrival of the attack time.
