In fact, the front line of the battle is not in Qingzhou, and it is still fifty or sixty miles away from Qingzhou. In this battle, the Japanese and Japanese sides dispatched a total of 110,000 troops, unprecedented in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the two sides fought to the point of white-hot at the beginning of the battle, and the little devils sent 10 planes to bomb the positions of the Chinese army indiscriminately, and the Chinese army could only say that there was nothing to do about the bombing of the Japanese planes, and could only let the planes of the little devils bomb indiscriminately. And Yamamoto Shuichi also mobilized fifty large-caliber mountain artillery, rows of shells whistled and fell on the positions of the Chinese army, the violent explosion shook the ground, Yamamoto finally implemented the Grim Reaper plan, of course, Yamamoto Shuichi will never give the Chinese army a chance to breathe, the strongest in the Chinese army, of course, belongs to the 11th Division of the National Army Liu Chenzhou, although Liu Chenzhou calmly commanded the troops to fight, the 11th Division is indeed fighting tenaciously, but for the little devil's excellent play and fierce artillery fire, The 11th Division was beaten with heavy casualties. Ge Wangshan repeatedly urged Liu Chenzhou to use the mortar battalion, but Liu Chenzhou never let the mortar battalion return fire, because Liu Chenzhou had already seen that as long as the mortar battalion returned fire, the little devil would find the position of the mortar battalion as quickly as possible, and then Yamamoto would immediately order the Japanese artillery to destroy the mortar battalion, and in less than half an hour, the mortar battalion would be wiped out.

Therefore, Liu Chenzhou has always ordered the mortar battalion and the artillery battalion to hide, and these two mortar battalions must not be used unless they have to, Guo Yiming's independent brigade is also a little unbearable, at this time Guo Yiming had to take out all his family foundations to deal with the current crisis, Guo Yiming in order to eliminate the Yamamoto division, he went to the division headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is soft grinding and hard bubbles, and he had to ask the division headquarters to issue 10,000 grenades to the independent brigade. In the end, the division headquarters had no choice but to give Guo Yiming 8,000 grenades, and it was these 8,000 grenades that fully exerted their power, and at that time, the Eighth Route Army had no artillery, and even the smallest caliber Type 97 mortars were pitiful, so the firepower of the independent brigade was obviously at a disadvantage. But this Guo Yiming is ingenious, he invited a lot of carpenters to make a new type of weapon out of wood, this new type of weapon is called a folding grenade launcher, in fact, these so-called folding grenade launchers are a king-size slingshot, use three or four people to pull the king-size slingshot away, and then tie up three or two grenades, and then use a king-size slingshot to shoot the grenade out. This folding grenade launcher has several advantages, first, the materials it uses are everywhere, second, it has a simple mechanism, as long as there is a little bit of brains, you can make such a grenade launcher, third, it is light and convenient, if you don't use it, you can fold the grenade launcher, two people can easily carry it away, fourth, that is the core function of this folding grenade launcher, it can trap three grenades together, catapult to four or five hundred meters away, For the Eighth Route Army at that time, it was simply a large-caliber mountain artillery.

Kazuo Kumamoto was specifically responsible for eliminating the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and Kumamoto mobilized a mortar battalion to bombard the Independent Brigade indiscriminately, and the Kumamoto Division gained the upper hand at first, but Guo Yiming immediately ordered the troops to use the folding grenade launcher to return fire, and those soldiers who were specifically responsible for using the operation of the folding grenade launcher can also be said to be equivalent to the artillery of the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and they did not know how long they had been trained, and they were very skilled in operating the folding grenade launcher, and a hundred pairs of folding grenade launchers were placed in the blink of an eye. There are dozens of fighters who are specifically responsible for tying grenades, on average every three grenades are bundled together, the grenade strings are fixed on the launch stand, and the moment the grenade is ejected, the strings of the grenade are pulled off, these fighters put the grenade to the target to be delivered, first to calculate the distance and position, in estimating how much effort it takes, how long the extra-large slingshot is pulled, in order to accurately catapult to the target, and then to eject the grenade out. These ejected grenades hit the target as accurately as if they had eyes, and the mortar battalion of the Kumamoto Division immediately became dumb, and Guo Yiming ordered the so-called "artillery" under his command to hit me fiercely with light and heavy machine gun fire aimed at Kumamoto.

In an instant, the Qingzhou machine gun fire of the Kumamoto Division was constantly destroyed, and those bundles of grenades fell on the target to be hit accurately, and the Kumamoto Division's firepower was not only greatly weakened, but also suppressed so that he could not raise his head, Kumamoto Kazuo was taken aback, he never dreamed that the firepower of the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army would be so fierce. So Kumamoto Izumi hurriedly asked Yamamoto Shuichi for reinforcements, but instead of giving him reinforcements, Yamamoto Shuichi scolded Kumamoto Kazuo, Yamamoto Shuichi thought that the Kumamoto Division had 20,000 people, and the Eighth Route Army Independent Brigade only had more than 4,000 people, and the Kumamoto Division's weapons and equipment were much better than those of the Eighth Route Army Independent Brigade. Kazuo Kumamoto was scolded by Hideichi Yamamoto to bloody blood, Kumamoto had no choice but to order the troops to eliminate the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army at all costs, and the 343rd Brigade of Chen Guang of the Eighth Route Army also exchanged fire with the Koga Division, although the Koga Division had just been formed, but the Koga Division was a group of outlaws, and under the poison of Japanese bushido, the Koga Division was like a group of mad dogs rushing forward, so the 343rd Brigade was about to be unbearable.

Yamamoto is worthy of being a scheming commander, he commanded the Yamamoto division to attack Liu Chenzhou's 11th division, he asked about the situation of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, in fact, Yamamoto Xiu had his eyes on the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment early on, the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment had hit the Japanese army several times in a row, and even the Yamamoto Division suffered a big loss from the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, if it wasn't for the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment that disrupted the formation of the Yamamoto Division last time, Liu Chenzhou's 11th Division had no chance to counterattack at all, and the Yamamoto Division would not have suffered such heavy casualties. The 11th Division may have been wiped out by the Yamamoto Division in the last battle, so the 11th Division will not come out again now to compete with the Yamamoto Division, so all the anger of Yamamoto Shuichi was vented on the head of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, and Yamamoto Shuichi knew that if the Chinese army was trapped, the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment would definitely come to reinforce it, so Yamamoto Shuichi would carefully analyze the route that the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment might have to take. After hundreds of repeated deliberations, Yamamoto finally made a decision that the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment would definitely take the west road, and if it took the west road, it would have to pass through that valley, so Yamamoto Shuichi ordered the Nakamura Brigade and the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army to ambush on the mountains on both sides of the valley.

The reason why Yamamoto did this was, first, because the terrain of the valley was dangerous and difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and second, the mountains were high and dense and easy to hide, as long as the troops were lying in the dense forests on both sides, or hiding behind the rocks and not moving, the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment would not be able to detect them at all, so as long as the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment entered the valley, the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment would definitely die. Yamamoto Shuichi ordered the Nakamura Brigade and the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army to eliminate the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment no matter what. Unexpectedly, not only did he not find other Chinese troops coming to reinforce him, but he also did not see the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, so Yamamoto Shuichi wondered very much, how could the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment not come, there must be something strange in this, and later the Nakamura Brigade sent a telegram saying; The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment had already reached the front of the valley, and Yamamoto Hide's heart was ecstatic when he heard it, and Yamamoto Hide's heart said; The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment has finally appeared, as long as the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment enters the valley, none of you will want to live. But not long after, the Nakamura Brigade sent another telegram saying; The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment seems to have seen that there is an ambush in the valley, so they have been walking back and forth in front of the valley, but they don't dare to go into the valley. Could it be that the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment has seen some flaws, or is it the target that the Nakamura Brigade itself has accidentally exposed. Yamamoto hurriedly sent a telegram to inquire, but Nakamura insisted that they had laid an ambush very well and did not expose any flaws at all, and Yamamoto was even more puzzled, and Yamamoto asked again; Hasn't the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment gone into the valley yet, Nakamura replied; The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment has been walking back and forth in front of the valley like a marquee, and it does not stop for a while, I don't know what the specific reason is.

Yamamoto Xiuyi was even more puzzled when he heard it, and Yamamoto Xiu thought to himself; What did the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment want to do, if they found any problems, the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment would either choose to leave or choose to go into the valley, why they were always walking back and forth in front of the valley, it was because they had already seen that there was an ambush in the valley. Yamamoto thought that it was impossible, if the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment saw that there was an ambush, they would quickly leave that valley, why they kept hesitating there, there can only be an explanation, that is, they carefully observed the valley, they found that the terrain of the valley is very dangerous, if they rashly walk into the valley, for fear of being ambushed, don't go in, that valley is the only way to Qingzhou, so they are neither advancing nor retreating, so they have always been in a dilemma. Only then did he walk back and forth in front of the valley at a loss, and then carefully check whether there was an ambush in the valley, Yamamoto couldn't help but let out a sneer, Yamamoto said in his heart; What a cunning Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, they can actually see that the terrain of that valley is very dangerous, if you don't go in, you can't rush to Qingzhou to reinforce, so that although we can't eliminate the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, but the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment has no way to come to reinforce, since that's the case, let's spend it like this, I want to see who can outlast whom, I want to see how long the Chinese army in the encirclement can last.

So in order to be foolproof, Yamamoto sent a telegram every half an hour on average to ask about the situation of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, and the Nakamura Brigade of course answered Yamamoto Shuichi truthfully, Yamamoto Shuichi's excitement was simply overflowing, Yamamoto Shuichi thought that he had won this battle, Liu Chenzhou, Liu Chenzhou, this time I want to see, what other skills do you have to escape from the palm of my hand. Yamamoto roughly estimated that the 11 th Division of the Nationalist Army, the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the 343rd Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the encirclement could support about seven or eight days at most, and after seven or eight days, everything would be a foregone conclusion, and the Chinese troops in the encirclement would be completely annihilated under the wanton and indiscriminate bombing of our Japanese planes and the fierce attacks of our Imperial Japanese Army. So Yamamoto Shuichi was extremely excited, and the battle had just reached the afternoon of the fourth day, and the Yamamoto family couldn't wait to send a telegram to Okamura Ninji, the Chinese army could hold out for three or four days at most, and after three or four days, all the Chinese troops in the encirclement would be wiped out.
