The one company that attacked the camp of the Fukushima convoy was a battalion that had just ambushed the reinforcements of the devils, one company cleaned up the battlefield and monitored the situation of the devil's brigade, and the other two companies hurried along the mountain trail to the valley of the black kiln, and after joining up with the reconnaissance company led by the shovel monkey, they decided not to use their troops to besiege the devil's camp, but to bombard them with earth flying mines and mortars.

As Tu Feilei said earlier, it is to use simple devices such as gasoline barrels to drop explosive packets into an area of several tens to more than 100 meters, and use the huge explosion of the explosives packs to destroy the vitality of the devils and fix the target.

After all, Fukushima was not a field commander, and this kind of mountain camp did not send multiple units of peripheral alert troops to occupy the surrounding usable terrain to block possible enemy attacks, and he believed too much that the Eighth Route did not have the large-scale entrance artillery like the Soviet army, and it would pose any threat to his camp surrounded by tanks and armored vehicles.

This kind of bundled explosive bag does not fall under the body of the tank or a weak position such as a track, and it is indeed impossible to help the tank, but the effect of the indiscriminate bombardment of dozens of explosive packs, the destruction and psychological shock of the devil's entire camp, is much stronger than blowing up a few tanks!

It was also the first time that the first battalion had used so many Earth Flying Mines, and when fighting a small gutter battle, it also used so many Earth Flying Mines at one time, and the effect was really shocking! The devil's entire camp was shrouded in the air and smoke generated by the explosion, and the tanks that looked mighty and tall during the day were also like small boats being blown by the wind!

When Kuroda Daisa himself led his cavalry guards to the Black Kiln Ditch with the reinforcements, he was really surprised by the scene in the Fukushima camp! Where is this still the majestic chariot at noon! Everywhere there were blown up debris and severed limbs, huge craters and blackened dirt everywhere. Everywhere there were soldiers with expressionless faces. The whole camp was like a giant hand had been scratched to pieces!

And what shocked Kuroda the most was what kind of weapon they were attacked like this. It's still a mystery! Definitely not a shell! It was not caused by a minefield that had been planted in the ground for a long time, and according to the soldiers, they saw something like a package falling from the sky, and when it landed, it exploded violently.

No one can understand that the intelligence and battle reports say that the Eight Roads, which only have tattered guns, will have new weapons that the imperial army does not have!

And after meeting with Fukushima Nakasa, after listening to the report on the battle situation during the day, Kuroda began to realize that his contempt for the Eight Roads was wrong, and he had always thought that the so-called Eight Roads were wrong. It's nothing more than a group of Chinese peasants who just picked up guns, who have no fighting power, and can achieve some victory, it's just a coincidence.

Looking at it now, this kind of Chinese peasant is not simple, isn't it a rabble who will carry a gun and beat rabbits! This defensive battle and white-knuckle warfare, this ambush warfare and sneak attack warfare are absolutely examples of warfare that can only be seen in textbooks, and this kind of rapid attack and rapid withdrawal from the battle is by no means a rabble!

Kuroda wasn't wrong. Not only the 20th Regiment of Yang Bangzi, but also the entire hundreds of thousands of Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army. Except for the more than 30,000 old Red Army soldiers who swore in 37 years, most of them were honest peasants before joining the Eighth Route Army.

However, in a short period of time, these peasants, who could hardly even write their own names, became brave and skilled soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and again and again caused those Japanese soldiers created by the Japanese imperialist war machine to fall helplessly on the soil of China!

What is it called? This is called the times to create heroes! From the perspective of the people, the biggest mistake of the Japanese devils was to use their brutality to force a large number of Chinese people into the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, and when these most simple Chinese peasants in the world, who had lost their relatives, lost their land and houses, and lost their hope of life, became soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese discovered that these people who seemed to them the most stupid and stupid people had become the most cunning, scheming, and difficult enemies to deal with!

If you don't know how to read, you don't have to delay fiddling with mines, you can do farm work, you can aim and shoot once you teach it, and people who are so stuffy on weekdays are more flexible than hares when they go to the battlefield! Why? It's simple, hate! It is hatred that awakens a people and turns it into a terrible warrior!

These are things that Kuroda and Fukushima can't think of, all they can think of is that they can't underestimate the strength of their opponents anymore, so in this camp in Kuroyaogou, Captain Kuroda called a meeting of all the officers! The devils also hold meetings from time to time.

The main content of the meeting was that all troops must strictly follow the regulations of the drill code when marching and camping, and must always maintain a fighting state and not slacken.

For the battle in front of him, Kuroda ordered to build an advance base in Heiyaogou first, and was not busy attacking. As mentioned in the battle report of Gemu Daizo of the 222nd Wing of the 36th Division, the terrain of Heiyaogou is a strategic base-type terrain that can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and as long as it occupies the platforms and hills on both sides of the road, it can threaten the Yinfang Town in the basin and the rear base area of the Eighth Route further away, and the troops of Lianggang and Fugang can be merged backward, and the connection between the large base area of the Eighth Road can be cut off.

Kuroda put down his figure and decided to follow the advice of the commander of the field force this time and stabilize his position first! The devils did not rest after the meeting, and immediately began to build a base in the valley of Heiyaogou, with artillery and baggage in the center, tanks that could still be driven by the convoy went out to the middle of the mountain, and the infantry seized the hills and earthen beams on the west side as a flank defense belt.

If you want to look down from the highest point of the black kiln ditch, the section of the road that turns from the west flowing water in the valley is occupied by devils, and the inner and outer three layers of land are expanded in a circle, forming a defensive base covering an area of several square kilometers.

At dawn, the field fortifications of the devils had not been completely built, so Kuroda decided to let the combat convoy and infantry team take the lead in attacking the top of the slope of the black kiln ditch, of course, the first to attack was the devil's artillery. The Kuroda Mixed Tactical Group did not bring the artillery of ordinary field troops this time, but the North China Front added an artillery brigade of 688 people, carrying 105 mm field guns towed by horses or trucks.

Counting the eight 75-mm mountain guns of the original 364-man artillery brigade of the Kuroda Wing, the artillery group of his tactical cluster alone has four 105-mm guns, 24 75-mm mountain guns, and more than a dozen tank guns and rapid-fire guns that can still be used, and dozens of shells of large and small calibers are fired at one time!

As soon as dawn came, the devil artillery cluster in the valley began to prepare for fire, and the first to be bombarded were the two small hills on the east side of the road, and the shells of the 105 mm field artillery were not covered! The full name of this kind is called Taisho 14 Type 105 mm field cannon, and one projectile is more than fifteen kilograms! Covered by fire, four shells flew over, and a hill was completely covered!

There are also those 75 mm mountain artillery, which also use explosive shells and anti-personnel grenades to bombard the mountain beams and mountain bags that may be guarded by eight roads, and the clouds of smoke rising from the sky and the gunpowder smoke dispersed with the wind in the morning light almost make the slightest sunlight over the black kiln ditch almost invisible!

After forty minutes of fire preparation, the two mountain buns, which were round like steamed buns the day before, were actually shattered by shells, and from a distance, it looked like they had been bitten! With this kind of firepower, if any creatures survive, it's almost impossible!

Four medium-sized Type 97 tanks also rumbled down the roadbed with black smoke, and stopped on the slope between the road and the mountain bag, ready to use the guns and machine guns on the tanks to approach to support the infantry's upcoming attack, a squadron of Japanese infantry had already assembled at the road on the mountainside, and at 7:30, Kuroda gave the order, attack!
