"Your Excellency, Division Commander, after confirmation last night, the Eighth Route Army can say that there is no way for our current marching plan... However, I think that with the surname of the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely not sit idly by, and just watch our division and regiment go straight to Taiyuan City. Therefore, I think that today our army will definitely be resisted by the Eighth Route Army..."After listening to the question of the division commander. Chief of Staff Sano Osa replied affirmatively.

"Yo Xi, I think so too, but our vanguard can have a reinforced brigade, and behind this reinforced brigade is our 2nd Infantry Wing... So, we don't have to worry about our avant-garde troops at all. More importantly, around us, there are more than a thousand cavalrymen of our cavalry wing on non-stop patrols. If the Eighth Route Army wants to raid the main force of our division, unless they don't want to live... However, I am really looking forward to the appearance of the Eighth Route Army now, and take a good look at what kind of tactics the Eighth Route Army uses to deal with our army's current marching methods...."The division commander nodded. At the same time, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he confidently said his thoughts ....

At this time, Harada Shaozuo, the captain of the avant-garde brigade of the army, was riding on his horse in high spirits. Accompanied by several squadron leaders, he commanded his own reinforced brigade and marched forward full of fighting spirit ... Finally, after half a day's march, the entire reinforced brigade was getting closer and closer to the cemetery prepared for him by the 12 regiments of Reading Li.

"Report to Your Excellency, one kilometer ahead is Haseguchi, where the terrain is very difficult and very suitable for enemy ambushes. The avant-garde squad suggested that the troops stop advancing for the time being, and continue to advance after searching the entire valley to ensure that there is no enemy situation in the valley..."Just when the captain complained about the sky and several squadron leaders around him were talking and laughing, the whole team suddenly stopped, and a second lieutenant squad leader ran to the front and reported loudly..."Telescope..."Harada Shaosa took the telescope handed over by the orderly and began to look at Haseguchi, which was thousands of meters away. Sure enough, the terrain of the entire valley is really as the leader of the avant-garde team said. The winding road passes through the valley floor less than 20 meters wide, and the length of the entire valley is enough for a kilometer, enough to fit all your avant-garde brigade into it, and the terrain is very dangerous... However, if today there is only one reinforcement brigade of troops, then he will definitely exclude the search force for a search first. However, today is different, because two kilometers behind him is the 2nd Infantry Wing, which is strong ... As long as the Eighth Route Army dares to ambush itself there, he can take the opportunity to drag the troops of the Eighth Route Army and wait for the arrival of = reinforcements. Then, with the cooperation of reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army was given a center to blossom and completely eliminate those Eighth Route Army troops who dared to besiege the Imperial Army.

Thinking of this, the corners of the captain's mouth already showed a confident smile. Although he has made a decision in his heart, as the temporary captain, he must ask the deputy captain who is also in the rank of Shaozo next to him. Thinking of this, the captain Harada Shaozo had already turned his head and looked at the deputy captain beside him..."Tian Mujun, do you think our avant-garde brigade needs to stop for a while and wait for the search force to send a safety signal before the troops continue to march?" ”

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain. I believe that for the sake of the safety of the avant-garde brigade, we should send a search force to search the valley. After making sure that there are no ambushes in the valley, we will continue to march...", replied the vice-captain, without thinking.

"Yo Xi... I would also like to send troops to search. However, now time is very tight for our army, and there is simply no extra time to waste here... What's more, with more than 3,000 Imperial Army troops of the Second Infantry Wing behind us, do we still need to worry about the ambush of the Eighth Route Army? Order the avant-garde squad to continue on departure ... However, be sure to pay attention to the vigilance at both ends of the valley. If the troops are attacked, immediately organize a defensive formation on the spot, resist, and wait for reinforcements to arrive..."Captain Harada Shaosa shook his head and ordered affirmatively.

"Hi, Your Excellency Captain..."As the leader of the avant-garde squad left, the entire reinforcement team immediately began to move. The marching column, which stretched for nearly a kilometer, was like a huge locust, slowly wriggling towards the mouth of the long valley. And at this moment, the captain Harada Shaoza, who is full of confidence, has no idea at all. Because of his quick success, he is leading a reinforced brigade of more than 1,400 Imperial soldiers under his command to the death zone... Finally, while everyone was anxiously waiting, the soldiers of the squad at the forefront of the army slowly approached Haseguchi. Through the telescope in his hand, Lin Wei, as the commander-in-chief, could already clearly see the faces of dozens of little devils in front of him. More than sixty elite little devil soldiers were all holding the loaded rifles in their hands, and a pair of eyes were at both ends of the valley, carefully observing something. Looking at their vigilant marching columns, Lin Wei believed that as long as there was any abnormal movement at both ends of the valley at this moment, he would definitely be hit by the dense attack of countless bullets from the incoming army... However, what reassured Lin Wei was that the little devil soldiers who entered the mouth of the long valley did not conduct any search at both ends of the valley. Just a few glances at the symbolic surname, he hurriedly continued the march. The 1,400 little devils of the main force of the army brigade followed closely behind dozens of top soldiers, entered the valley one after another, and stepped on a big meal carefully prepared for them by the engineering regiment..."Comrades, relax, without my orders, there must be no abnormal movement..." As the rhythmic footsteps of the Yue army reached the ears of the soldiers at the top of Haseguchi. Several of the demomen around the commander-in-chief Lin Wei who were serving as demolitions had a thin bead of sweat on their foreheads because of nervousness. While observing the enemy's situation, he whispered to several Demomen... Although, Lin Wei's comfort made several people's hearts relax a lot. However, today is the first time for these sappers, and they really go to the battlefield to kill the little devils, can they not let these people rush to get excited... Looking at the bayonets emitting cold light in the valley, each demoman held the detonator in his arms motionlessly, waiting for the regiment commander to give the order to blast.

However, what made these Demomen arrive depressed. Listening to the sound of footsteps as the army marched in the valley, time seemed to slow down a lot in an instant. Almost every second of time is a very long ordeal for these sapper fighters who are clutching the detonator ... Finally, in the midst of everyone's suffering, the last little devil who walked in the entire brigade walked into Haseguchi... The entire marching brigade, more than 1,400 little devils, at this moment, had all stepped on the top of the gunpowder....At the same time, on the top of the hill at the other end of Haseguchi, a red flag had suddenly been erected... The bright red flag was waving in the wind, reporting to the regiment commander Lin Wei that the army had all entered the ambush circle..."Detonator..."Seeing the red flag representing the signal that the army had entered the ambush circle, a smile appeared on the face of the commander-in-chief Lin Wei. Facing a few sapper soldiers around him who had been waiting impatiently, he ordered loudly... And several Demomen, while hearing the order of the regiment commander, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Holding the right hand of the detonator tightly, without any hesitation, he quickly pressed the pressure rod down..."Boom, boom, boom, boom......." An earth-shattering roar quickly sounded in Hase's mouth. The whole earth also began to shake because of the simultaneous explosion of hundreds of kilograms of explosives. A hundred explosive packets buried under the road, at the command of the regiment commander Lin Wei, exploded at the same time... Clusters of orange-red fireballs, like volcanic eruptions, rose from the ground that had just been level, and surrounded the panicked little devils. At the same time, the sound of a huge explosion affected even the fighters from a distance of several tens of meters. With the explosion of explosives, the soldiers hidden in the trenches dozens of meters away all unconsciously opened their mouths, covered their ears, and looked at the scene in front of them in shock... As far as the eye can see, the entire Haseguchi has become a sea of fire at this moment. Those little devils who happened to be standing on the blasting point, the moment the explosion sounded, the huge shock wave generated by the explosion was immediately lifted high and thrown into the sky. However, as the little devils fell from the sky, the little devils who were still full of fighting spirit just now have turned into a soft corpse... As for the little devils who were located around the explosion point, they were swept to the ground by the huge wave of air generated by the explosion in their own shocked and frightened eyes. At the same time, mortar shells planted next to the explosives were also thrown high into the sky, exploding above the little devil's head..."Yaga... It's an earthquake... Get down quickly...""Bageya Road, how can there be a volcano here, it is a volcanic eruption...."....Looking at the fireball that suddenly rushed to the ground, I felt the vibration of the entire valley. The panicked little devils let out their own howls before they died. Many people, before they die, do not know that it was not an earthquake or a volcanic eruption that killed them. It was the 500 kilograms of explosives and nearly 100 rounds of artillery shells that the soldiers of the engineer regiment carefully prepared for them..."Trumpeter, blow the trumpet, and everyone charges..."Looking at the little devil running and howling in the sea of fire, the commander-in-chief Lin Wei did not have time to enjoy such a beautiful scene. Because he knew that at this moment, when the army was completely in chaos, it was the best time for his two regiments to attack..."Tick-tock...comrades, rush with me... Kill..."In an instant, on both sides of the valley, where there was no movement just now, several commanders with shell guns rushed out. Several commanders, taking the lead, led their soldiers and quickly rushed towards the valley that had been caught in a sea of fire. At the same time, the light and heavy machine guns placed on all the high ground around Haseguchi also let out an earth-shattering roar at the same time. The dense rain of bullets, like a splash of rain, spread to the valley that has become a sea of fire, and wherever there are living little devils, they will hit it... Under the cover of various light and heavy firepower, nearly 2,000 soldiers of the four battalions, under the leadership of their respective commanders, quickly approached the position... At this moment, the warriors' vision was greeted by a messy valley. Before the war, it was a smooth road, but at this moment, there are indeed a series of deep pits ten meters apart... And around these deep pits, there are all kinds of corpses of little devils.

At the same time, many seriously injured little devils who had not been directly killed were wriggling back and forth among these corpses, constantly wailing. As for those little devils who were lucky enough to survive and were able to stand up, there were only a few of them, and there were not enough for 2,000 soldiers to stuff their teeth..."My mother, the brothers in this engineer battalion are too ruthless, just 500 kilograms of explosives actually blew up a little devil who strengthened the brigade like this..."Looking at the tragic scene in front of them, almost all the soldiers had such a thought in their hearts at the same time. At the same time, for the engineer battalion, it was able to achieve such results in full admiration and shock..."What are you doing in a daze, the little devil has not been wiped out yet... Everyone immediately took the platoon as a unit to eliminate the remaining little devils in the valley, it's still the old rule, don't live ... Hurry up, after the little devils are eliminated, hurry up and clean up the battlefield. The main force of the little devils is coming soon, hurry up..."Looking at the stunned soldiers around him, a battalion commander suddenly reacted and ordered loudly

As for what comes next, there is no doubt about it. After the explosion just now, almost everyone in the remaining squadron of little devils in Haseguchi has not yet reacted from the shock just now, and looks at the dead or seriously injured comrades around them in a daze. And the soldiers, without any hesitation, shot bullets and bayonets into their chests under the frightened eyes of the little devils... After less than ten minutes, there was no longer a living little devil in the huge valley. And the soldiers of the two regiments paid only less than one platoon of casualties... However, such a battle, although it ended very quickly, and the casualties of the troops were very small. However, under the blasting of 500 kilograms of explosives, the fighters also did not capture much, especially all kinds of ammunition....of course, these ammunition did not have a big impact on the reading of history that was already able to produce it on its own.

"Order all battalions and companies to clean up the battlefield immediately, and take away what can be used immediately, and after five minutes, all the troops must withdraw from Haseguchi and burrow into the mountains..." And just when the battle against the advance guard reinforcement brigade of the Japanese army began, the earth-shattering explosion also made the little devil who was two kilometers away feel the shaking of the earth... At the same time, as the wing commander of the 2nd Infantry Wing, Ishiguro Osa, as soon as he heard the explosion, he realized that the avant-garde reinforcement brigade must have encountered some danger..."Yaga... The avant-garde reinforcement brigade was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and it was fast in the Haseguchi area, ordering the troops to speed up the march, reinforce Haseguchi, and rescue the avant-garde brigade surrounded by the Eighth Route Army..."Raising the telescope handed over by the adjutant, he saw Haseguchi, two kilometers away, there was already billowing gunsmoke, and the wing commander Ishiguro Osa reacted at the first time..."Hi... Your Excellency Wing Commander... Order, the troops speed up the march, target Haseguchi, reinforce the avant-garde brigade..."At the sound of the chief of staff's order, the little devil who was still an ordinary marcher just now immediately began to trot as if he had drunk stimulants. Immediately afterward, the whole wing ran. However, at this time, the army was really as Lin Wei said, with the acceleration of the marching speed. Just now, it was a two-kilometer-long marching column, but at this moment, because of the large number of artillery and baggage of the artillery baggage, the distance was extended by several hundred meters at once... Just when the army was speeding up its march and advancing rapidly towards the Haseguchi area, two kilometers away. They didn't know that at this moment, half of their troops had entered the battlefield that the engineer regiment had carefully prepared for them. And right in front of them, there are almost kilometers of road, all planted with explosives and all kinds of shells... At the same time, in a single bunker 100 meters away from the road, Li Guohua, the commander of the engineering regiment, and more than a dozen demomen, were holding detonators one by one, quietly waiting for the regiment commander Li Guohua to give the order to detonate... Perhaps because of the constant sound of explosions coming from the front, the Second Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army was not only urging to speed up its own advance. In general, more than 3,000 little devils, under the personal leadership of the wing commander, marched forward quickly without any vigilance... Finally, in the anxious waiting of a dozen people... More than 3,000 little devils finally walked in, and this section of the road where a large number of explosives and shells were buried will immediately turn into roast pigs one by one in the same way as the reinforced brigade in Haseguchi..."Detonated..."Seeing that all the little devils entered the preset position, in order to prevent possible accidental injuries, the regiment commander Li Guohua slowly squatted down and ordered loudly to the dozen or so demomen around him.

Suddenly, the entire earth began to tremble with a huge explosion. More than a dozen fighters opened their mouths to make their heads feel a little better in the midst of this huge explosion... And at this moment, the Second Infantry Wing of the Yue Army will not be better than the reinforced brigade in the valley. Because, although they were only blasted by 500 kilograms of explosives, there were also nearly 1,000 rounds of artillery shells, which were also killed in the dense formation of the little devils.
