Don't think that the bone of Balu can be digested if you smash it and swallow it, without a good stomach, it is not good to eat it and it is the same as eating Sun Wukong, it is better not to eat it if you toss up and down in your stomach.

The adjutant of the Kuroda Wing kindly reminded him, which originally meant that he had to be patient with the eight roads, and he had to try his best to surround the eight roads, and then use the advantage of firepower to eat them one bite at a time.

The adjutant was transferred from the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade to temporarily lead the infantry brigade to support Kuroda's wing, and he reminded Kuroda with his experience gained from years of fighting with Hachiro, but unfortunately, there are still many differences between infantry officers and cavalry officers in the use of tactics and the perception of opponents.

Kuroda was a standard cavalry officer, and he believed that as long as the enemy could be defeated in front of him, the enemy could only flee to the next defensive point and reorganize the resistance, so that the reinforced and reinforced wing would need to become a large stone mill formation and overwhelm the opponent along the way.

And now he thinks that it is a mistake to bring the highly mobile cavalry wing into this swirling mountain, because the high-speed mobility of the cavalry cannot be brought into play, on the contrary, because of the unfavorable terrain, it is often suppressed by the Eighth Route Infantry, and the cavalry who has given up the war horse is really inferior to half of the field infantry unit.

This adjutant was a senior officer in the infantry brigade, and he was able to get some internal information that Kuroda could not get, and he kindly reminded Kuroda not to rush forward and not to fight so hard, because this adjutant knew the true intention of the Kuroda Front, a pure cavalry unit, to fight in the mountains.

The factional struggle in the Japanese Army never ceased until the end of World War II, and Okamura Ninji of the North China Front was the main representative general of the Southern Advance faction. To the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian and Mongolian garrisons, these die-hard mainland factions. I've always had a grudge.

Especially in the second half of '43. Not only is the Pacific War getting tighter and tighter, but on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, the Allied forces have also begun a counteroffensive in local areas, and the mobile forces that the Japanese army can use are becoming more and more stretched.

It is a last resort to maintain the deployment of troops. The North China Battlefield and several other Chinese battlefields could only be used to draw troops to support operations in the Pacific and Southeast Asian regions, with the result that not only could the public order problem in North China not be completely resolved, but even the operations against the Nationalist army in South China and Central China were temporarily suspended.

Historically, if Japan and the Soviet Union had been tacitly aware that a large number of Japanese troops in the northeast and on the Sino-Mongolian border had been able to move south to fight on the Chinese battlefield in Guannai, the total number of Chinese troops fighting against the Chinese army would have more than doubled.

Even if all these troops were not transferred to the pass, and only a few divisions and regiments were sent out to North China to deal with the Eighth Route Army, the crisis that the Eighth Route Army and the base areas would face after 41 years would probably be much more severe than in history!

However, the factional struggle within the devil restricts the emergence of this situation. Therefore, the Japanese Army still stationed hundreds of thousands of the most well-equipped troops in the northeast and Manchurian and Mongolian regions to confront the Soviet Union across the strait. It doesn't do anything for the whole situation.

Although General Gangcun nominally controlled the Manchurian and Mongolian garrisons, in fact it was impossible to mobilize all the troops of more than 100,000 troops, but this time the mainland faction compromised and sent Kuroda, a mixed wing, to support the operation in Shimonoseki.

Can the cavalry, who are accustomed to arrogance on the prairie, still get a bargain when they enter this ravine? Besides, the Eighth Route Army that fought with them had survived in North China for more than six years by 43, and the most difficult and difficult times had passed, so what cavalry wings and chariots were afraid of?

Therefore, in the field infantry cluster of the Japanese army that has been fighting with the Eighth Route for a long time, they all thought that they were sent to act as cannon fodder and teach these arrogant and arrogant Manchu and Mongolian troops a lesson, of course, some senior officers also knew the operational intentions of the Shimizu Special Operations Wing, and they also guessed that the Kuroda Wing was using Shimizu Daisa as bait.

Nakasa, the commander of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, was the officer who saw this, and he didn't say it explicitly, because his adjutant commander was temporary, and the task given to him by Shangfeng was to bring two infantry brigades to help the Kuroda Wing, but in fact, he came to see these cavalry, and he didn't want them to be really defeated and annihilated by the Eighth Road, so no one's face would look good.

It's just that this Kuroda was disgraced by the two battles of the Eighth Road in Heiyaogou and Beitan Village, and the saber given by the emperor was lost, but he hooked out the hard spirit of his soldiers, and after getting the infantry brigade and the replenishment of weapons and ammunition, he really wanted to fight a few beautiful battles and give himself a long face.

The adjutant general's words with deep meaning, Kuroda only understood that it was a reminder to fight steadily and steadily, not to stretch the battle line too long, in addition, Kuroda thought that these officers of the infantry brigade and the Eighth Route had been fighting for many years, and they regarded the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route too highly, and the Eighth Route was brave and good at fighting, but Kuroda thought that his cavalry wing could still defeat them!

The teeth are okay, heavy artillery, airplanes, etc. are Kuroda's teeth, he thinks that with this set of teeth, these continuous mountains in front of him, there is no problem to conquer them, Kuroda also thinks that the seven or eight thousand people under his current command should be a good stomach, and they can be digested and dropped as many as they come!

The adjutant saw Kuroda's desire for revenge, and he said everything he needed to say, his task was to assist Kuroda Daisa, and the wing commander had to gnaw on those difficult mountains, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only go back and arrange the infantry team he brought and prepare for battle.

After sending a cavalry brigade to rescue the encircled infantry squadron, Kuroda immediately dispatched a mixed infantry and cavalry brigade to the line of Xiaochagou, which was less than three kilometers south of Yinfang Town, and set up camp to build a position.

After nightfall, from Beitan Village to Xiaochagou, the Japanese camps and positions that stretched for more than ten miles were not interrupted and disturbed, and at least dozens of small units of the Eighth Route Army launched attacks on the Japanese camps in batches on many sections, and the routines were still the same old routines, but the tricks were renovated, such as the bluffing feint attack on the devil's position, which was actually to scare the devils so that they would not dare to come out, and take the opportunity to plant mines and other explosives around the devil's position.

The Japanese army also has a long memory, never rashly attacked, and did not dare to slack off, staring at the dark mountains and fields around them with wide eyes in shifts, and not sleeping well all night is better than being attacked again and scurrying all over the ground!

From Beitan Village to Xiaochagou, mines were laid in all areas where there were devils' positions and camps, and the devils' infantry, cavalry, and transport teams were bombed as soon as they left the camp, and they didn't clear a road until noon.

It was only at noon that the mixed infantry and cavalry brigade in Xiaochagou officially launched an attack on the mountain pass guarded by the Eighth Route Army for the first time, and after six hours of fighting, before dark, the devils did not even go up to the pass! The roundabout troops sent to the two flanks were also blocked in the mountains and valleys, and it seems that the Eighth Route had long been prepared for this interspersed and detouring tactics of the Japanese army.

The terrain of the small ditch was also extremely unfavorable for the deployment of troops, the steep slope and the narrow front, even the repeated bombardment of the heavy artillery group in Yinfang Town did not play much role in the terrain of this ravine, and most of the shells went over the mountain beam into the uninhabited ravine.

The adjutant did not make any kind-hearted suggestions at the end of the day, but he went to the front line and personally urged the soldiers to attack the Shanliang Pass again and again, but unfortunately in vain, this was the third day that the Kuroda Wing launched an attack, and it advanced five kilometers in three days!
