Jiulong Mountain, the former enemy headquarters of the new 2nd Division.

The staff officers looked at each other with gloomy faces, and now the situation of the new 2nd Division was very sinister.

The Japanese army already had the advantage of land, sea and air, but now the troops were divided into two ways to attack, if the Japanese army succeeded in its plan, the new second division was very likely to be eaten by the Japanese army. If the retreat was hasty, the Japanese troops in pursuit would be enough to ⊥ most of the losses of the new 2nd Division.

A cold light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes, and his hand slapped heavily on the wooden table, making a loud noise.

I have to say that Yanagawa Heisuke is very cunning. He first used a unit disguised as a brigade-level force to carry out the landing, and then sent a wing to attack Pinghu from the area of Guangchen and Xindai, which was like a clever boxer, the front punch was a false move, and the side left hook was the real kill.

If an ordinary army were to be attacked from the front and rear, it would inevitably collapse. Wu Ming smiled coldly, and gave an order directly to the communication staff officer who was waiting on the side:

"The 2nd and 3rd Regiments of the Supplementary Brigade are vigilant and alert against the enemy in front of them; The fourth regiment of the supplementary brigade was transferred to the county seat of Pinghu just in case; The 2nd and 4th regiments entered the preset positions behind the southern front, and everything was carried out according to the predetermined plan. Ordered Han Tiecheng to hold on to the reinforcements and be sure to block the enemy in the East Lake area. ”

The East Lake mentioned by Wu Ming is located on the east side of Pinghu County, with a total area of more than 120 hectares at this time, of which the water area is 87 hectares.

East Lake is formed by the convergence of nine rivers, which have been silted up into a swamp over the years. After the end of the Central Plains War, the situation in the country tended to stabilize, and the Pinghu squires raised funds to build an East Lake Bridge across many islands on the lake to communicate east-west traffic and facilitate people to come and go.

If the 66th Wing of the Japanese Army wanted to surround the new 2nd Division, it had to pass through the Donghu Bridge. Fortunately, Wu Ming arranged for the Han Tiecheng regiment to guard this traffic artery in advance, and there were other targeted measures, otherwise he would definitely suffer a big loss.

The order was soon issued, and just as the regiments were carrying out their operations in accordance with the plan, Lu Kuiyuan led the officers and men of a company of spies to hide in a dense forest three kilometers northwest of the Japanese landing site. This dense forest relies on a gentle hill at an altitude of more than 10 meters, which is part of the coastal windbreak, covering an area of more than 100 acres, and is a good place to hide.

Since he came to Shanghai to participate in the war, Lu Kuiyuan has become obsessed with smoking, and once he is tired or when he is thinking, he can't help but want to touch his pocket, take out a cigarette and light one. But at this time, Lu Kuiyuan just took out a cigarette and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and put it back in the cigarette case.

Any little fireworks may be discovered by the Japanese army, and at the critical moment, Lu Kuiyuan does not allow himself to make mistakes

"Battalion commander, the devil is coming" A soldier trotted all the way to Lu Kuiyuan's side and reported in a low voice.

Lu Kuiyuan Huo Ran stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and whispered: "Brothers, okay, get up, get ready to live......"

The officers and soldiers got up quickly, quickly lined up, and looked at Lu Kuiyuan energetically one by one. Lu Kuiyuan waved his hand, and the team dispersed at once.

"Boom-"

There was a sudden burst of artillery in the northwest direction, Lu Kuiyuan stood up straight, listened attentively, and after a while, he scolded and snorted: "Niang Xipi, this side of the True Evil Gate is the main battlefield, we haven't received the fire yet, and Han Tiecheng's side has risen first."

Wanjiazhuang, located on the southeast shore of East Lake, was originally a village of more than 100 households, most of whom were fishermen boating on East Lake.

After the news of the Japanese landing near Pinghu spread, under the organization of the logistics department of the new Second Division, all the villagers of Wanjiazhuang were mobilized and relocated.

In a house in the east of the village, Han Tiecheng leaned in front of the window, holding a telescope to observe carefully.

Two kilometers to the southeast, on the Japanese makeshift position, mortars were firing heavily at the village, and the shells directly overturned some houses in the southeast of the village. In front of the defensive positions built around the outside of the village, hundreds of corpses of Japanese soldiers lay on the ground.

Mo Mingqi, the deputy head of the "regiment leader", rushed in and strode to Han Tiecheng's side: "The mine-laying task has been completed."

Han Tiecheng put down his binoculars and clapped his hands lightly: "Okay, get ready, let's take a battalion to retreat immediately"

"Retreat?"

Mo Mingqi was a little puzzled, the order of the division headquarters was to block the enemy in East Lake, and Wanjiazhuang was the best place to block the enemy, and now Han Tiecheng actually wanted to give up Wanjiazhuang, which was really unbelievable.

"Of course"

Han Tiecheng nodded, glanced at his fellow man a little strangely, and pointed to the Japanese mortar group: "The Japanese army has at least hundreds of mortars, and there are infantry guns pulled by mules in the back, one of our battalions is hiding here, the personnel are too dense, and every cannon may take the lives of our officers and soldiers If you don't leave at this time, let alone when?"

"But the order of the division headquarters?" Mo Mingqi hesitated.

"Hey, hey"

Han Tiecheng grabbed Mo Mingqi and said with a smile: "Let's withdraw, just leave it to Fang Shengde and Wang Peng."

The new Second Division is strictly disciplined, and the combat tasks assigned by the higher authorities must be completed unconditionally, but the specific command on the battlefield is left to the military commanders at all levels.

In Han Tiecheng's view, he had arranged Wanjiazhuang into a three-dimensional mine net, and more than 100 elite soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company shuttled through it, which could completely stop the Japanese offensive.

Han Tiecheng led the people to retreat neatly, but the commander of the 66th Wing of the Japanese Army, Yamada Tsuneta Nakasa, hated it.

According to the plan of General Yanagawa Heisuke, commander of the 10th Army, the 66th Wing was divided into one part and quickly crossed the Donghu Bridge across the East Lake to occupy the prosperous Pinghu county town, while the other part collected fishermen's boats and went south along Zhapu Pond, quickly detoured to the flank of the New Second Division, and attacked from the front and rear, and the New Second Division would surely be defeated without a fight.

The plan sounds very wonderful, but for Yamada Nakasa at this time, there is a feeling that he can't speak

First of all, the fishermen in the villages around the East Lake have withdrawn Yu Jingjing, and there is not a single ghost, where can there be a boat? Sending troops to search continuously to no avail, Yamada Nakasa had no choice but to let the troops force a march, taking advantage of the attention of the Chinese army to be attracted by the landing force in the south, immediately crossed the Donghu Bridge, and occupied the county town of Pinghu.

However, Yamada Nakasa never imagined that when he led his troops to Wanjiazhuang at the bridgehead in the southeast of the bridge, he was stopped by a mine array by the Chinese army, and it took more than 200 officers and soldiers to make a passage that could accommodate the passage of squadron-sized troops.

It's just too insidious

Yamada Nakasa angrily brandished his saber and told his soldiers to quickly unload the infantry guns from their mules, and after the second-line position was unfurled, they vigorously bombarded the Chinese troops hidden in Wanjiazhuang.

When the quarter-hour artillery coverage was over, Yamada Nakasa drove a squadron of Japanese troops to attack the village, gritting his teeth and vowing to break the despicable Chinese to pieces.

Seeing the Japanese army advancing cautiously, the officers and soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company who were hiding surrounded the company commander Fang Shengde and listened to him explain the main points of the operation.

To sum up, there is only one, when fighting against the Japanese army, make full use of the terrain and landform in the village, and change a place with a shot, anyway, in terms of melee firepower, the new second division will not lose to the opponent, and the sharp knife company is a water submachine gun, barge gun and grenade, and it is also equipped with five bazooka teams, not afraid of not dying this gang of little devils.

"Okay, now scatter and remember, we are just playing hide and seek with the Japanese army, he caught us, we died, they didn't catch us, they were finished"

After Fang Shengde finished speaking solemnly, he waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers quickly dispersed.

Fang Shengde did not tell his officers and soldiers that all the explosives were planted under the piers of the East Lake Bridge, and even if the Japanese army took Wanjiazhuang, there was no possibility of a successful attack. In the reeds not far away, there was a receiving detachment hidden, and the officers and men of the Sharp Knife Company could leave by boat at any time.

However, before the last step, Fang Shengde would not choose to retreat.

There are more than 100 households in Wanjiazhuang, and the houses are very spread apart, and there are many mud walls used to dry fishing nets, and there are many reeds on the shore of the East Lake, which is very conducive to hiding officers and soldiers.

Koharuko sneaked to the northeast corner of the village alone, climbed onto the roof quickly through the courtyard wall, and touched the guy in his hand after lying down.

Since the supplementary brigade was transferred to the sharp knife company of the Han Tiecheng regiment, Xiao Chunzi fell in love with the sniper rifle he received, and never let people touch it, but when he came to Pinghu to recover from his injuries and was discharged from the hospital, he touched it to his girlfriend Fang Hong.

Koharuko lay quietly on the roof, and amid the sound of "bang" gunfire, a squadron of Japanese troops, led by a devil Shaoza, passed through the minefield at the cost of more than 20 lives and approached the entrance of the village.

Koharuko raised the gun, and in the scope, he could clearly see the hideous face of the devil Shaoza, who was about to pull the trigger, when a sudden violent explosion came, and his vision was quickly blocked by a burst of black smoke.

When the smoke cleared and the corpses of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers lay down at the entrance of the village, Koharuko grinned, and an unlucky devil soldier stepped on the mine buried at the entrance of the village.

"Yaga"

The devil Shaozuo who was lying down pulled out his saber, jumped up, kicked and cursed his soldiers, and drove the soldiers to continue to attack.

"Niang Xipi really doesn't know whether to live or die"

A smile appeared at the corner of Koharuko's mouth, his fingers moved, and with a dull gunshot, the hideous face of the devil Shaozuo in the scope suddenly froze, he looked down in disbelief, bright red blood burst out from the open chest, and his eyes fell to the ground with a dull look......

Seeing that the devil Shaozo who led the team was killed, Xiao Chunzi nodded, patted the guy in his hand, and said proudly: "Man, this is the eleventh devil you have taken, the first Shaozo officer"

Koharuko glanced at Nakasa on the starting position of the Japanese army with some regret, that was his ultimate goal today, but unfortunately the distance was too far and there was no possibility of hitting at all.

A squadron of devil soldiers lost their command, so frightened that they lay down again and did not dare to move, seeing that the devil officers on the rear position were annoyed, and soon another squadron of reinforcements set out, the machine gun position moved forward one after another, and another squad of Japanese soldiers pushed two infantry guns to follow.

Xiao Chunzi slipped down to the root of the wall, and Fang Shengde happened to come from the side, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw Xiao Chunzi. Then, Fang Shengde followed the root of the wall and drilled forward into another house.

Koharuko ran to the side, turned a corner, and met three officers and men of the Sharp Knife Company with submachine guns, one of whom saw Koharuko and smiled at him.

To the southeast of the village, the Japanese troops of the two squadrons converged and hit the road again, and soon after they hesitated at a three-way intersection, and several devil officers got together to discuss it, and then began to divide the troops.

At the mouth of an alley in the middle of the village, a detachment of Japanese soldiers walked out with rifles, and the three officers and soldiers of the sharp knife company who were ambushed here raised the submachine guns in their hands and fired at the devils, and more than a dozen devil soldiers didn't even have time to react, they were directly hit by dense bullets, and fell to the ground with a stunned expression - they really couldn't figure it out, the same Chinese army, how could the gap between the troops guarding Jinsi Niang Bridge and other places and the officers and soldiers in front of them be so big?

On the other side, Fang Shengde and Deputy Company Commander Wang Peng happened to meet together, the two rushed into a house with a window, and heard the sound of the Japanese soldiers outside, Fang Shengde gestured towards Wang Peng, Wang Peng pouted a little reluctantly, but still nodded.

Fang Shengde opened the grenade fuse, a "sizzle" sounded, and when Wang Peng suddenly pushed open the window, Fang Shengde threw the grenade out of the air, and with the sound of the explosion, there was a wail from the devil outside.

Fang Shengde and Wang Peng smiled at each other, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed out of the house to find the next batch of unlucky devil soldiers.

For the Japanese army, Wanjiazhuang is really a place full of "surprises", China is like a ghost, from time to time to appear around, encountered is a grenade flying, the Chinese army is equipped with submachine guns to play the advantage of close combat to the extreme, so that only equipped with rifles devils do not even have the power to fight back.

What worries the Japanese army even more is the black guns from all over the village, and the devil soldiers who are often shot don't even know where the bullets come from, so they are unwilling to fall to the ground and die......
