Let's not talk about the 5th Brigade and the Ohara Brigade in a desperate battle with a huge disparity in strength in the mountains, let's talk about Xu 19.

Due to the large shrinkage of the strength of the 19th Detachment, Xu 19 had to give up the strategy of comprehensive contraction and key defense, and instead pulled the troops to the periphery, in an attempt to rely on the 16-character policy to lead the nose of the 14th Brigade of the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Formation of Little Japan to go around in the mountains, and then deal a fatal blow when Little Japan was tired, tired, and thin.

Chiang Kai-shek's first four encirclement and suppression campaigns were all defeated by this tactic, and if it had not been for the German adviser Li De who usurped command and abandoned the campaign tactics and pursued the tactic of keeping the enemy out of the country, perhaps China would have changed seven years ago.

The essence of sports warfare is that you always have to hang your opponent, you must let the opponent see you, but you must not let the opponent bite you, this is like driving a donkey, you have to put a carrot in front of the donkey, and constantly lure the donkey forward, but you can't really let the donkey eat the carrot, so what kind of distance should be kept is very important.

In other words, the distance can't be too far, too far you can't mobilize the opponent at all, and you can't get too close, too close the opponent may surround you and eat you in a roundabout.

But the problem is that little Japan is not stupid, he will not really follow you obediently, led by your nose and turn around the mountains, and little Japan also has the cooperation of the air force, he can reconnoiter your whereabouts from the sky and make corresponding arrangements according to the direction of your march, so you can't just take care of your own actions, you have to take into account the other party's reaction.

All in all, sports warfare is also a very high-risk, but also a test of the commander's wisdom jishu work, this tactic, not just any one can be played, otherwise, Hubei, Henan, Anhui Soviet Weishenme left Xu Xiangqian is not able to play? Otherwise, after the meeting, the Weishenme Central Red Army would be able to cross the Chishui four times, so that Xue Yue could not distinguish between the southeast and the northwest?

Last time in the counter-sweep, Xu Shijiu already had an experience in using movement warfare, but that time he faced only a brigade, but this time he faced a brigade, and the equipment, firepower, and strength were completely incomparable, so the difficulty of command was more than ten times higher than the last time.

In order to win this campaign and smash the sweep of the 14th Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade, Xu Shijiu had to be like a miser, calculating his own capital over and over again, and at the same time tirelessly telling several front-line commanders, especially Lu Jianbang, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, who acted as a bait.

"Lao Lu, you listen to me, little Japan does not enter within a hundred meters, no fire, no last resort, machine guns are strictly forbidden to fire, our ammunition reserves are running out, we must save a little, wait until zuihou, we still have to fight back, you can't just finish all the family early, do you hear?"

"I heard you, Captain, don't worry."

"Then there is, you must judge the situation, what is the meaning of judging the situation, you know? If little Japan is just a tentative attack, then it must be pushed back, but if little Japan is ruthless and serious, then quickly withdraw, don't get too entangled with little Japan, especially not with little Japan, remember?

"I remember, Captain, my ears are calloused."

"Lao Lu, let me tell you, don't be impatient, this battle is related to the life and death of our 19th detachment, and the task undertaken by your 3rd battalion is particularly important, so there can't be a little negligence, let alone a little mistake, you know?"

"Know, know, captain, don't worry, I will do as you tell me to do and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Okay, then tell me first, where are you going to choose the battlefield?"

"Huangyangao, I have carefully looked at the map, the terrain of Huangyangao is the most favorable, first, Huangyangao has the ready-made fortifications left by the previous 4 regiments to use, and second, not far behind Huangyangao is the Poison Dragon Valley, the terrain is relatively complex, which is conducive to our transfer, and another Huangyangao is on the periphery of Erlong Mountain, and the vigilance of little Japan will be relatively light, and it is easier to be fooled."

"Okay, then choose Huangyangao."

As soon as the Vickers armored car stopped, the captain of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade, Yamamoto Shaosa, hurriedly rushed forward and opened the door.

At the opening of the car door, Haneda Daisa, the captain of the Longkou Military Police, got out of the car first, then turned around and protected the upper edge of the door with his hand, and then, Fujido Takaei walked down from the carriage with his head down, and Yamamoto Shaosa hurriedly stepped forward half a step forward and bowed his head to salute.

Fujido Takaei pulled the white gloves on his hand, and asked in a relaxed tone, "Yamamoto-san, what's the situation ahead?"

Yamamoto Shaozo bowed his head and replied: "Your Excellency General, our forward team has just been blocked by the Zhina Army at Huangyang'ao, and a tentative attack launched by the forward team has been disintegrated, but it has also found out the reality of the opposite Zhina Army, which has about a battalion of strength and a small amount of artillery. ”

"Really, the strength of a battalion, and a small amount of artillery?" Fujitang Gaoying said thoughtfully, "According to the principle of one part of the front, part of the flank, and part of the reserve, if there is a battalion in the front defense line, the strength of the nearby branch army will definitely exceed one regiment, and the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui will now have the strength of one regiment, which should be their main force." ”

Haneda said: "Your Excellency General, Xu Shijiu has always been cunning, and it cannot be ruled out that this is his suspicious strategy. ”

"Well, Haneda-san, what you said makes sense, and this possibility cannot be ruled out." Fujitang Gaoying nodded, and said, "However, whether this is a suspicious plan set up by Xu Shijiu, as long as you try it, it will be clear, order, the artillery brigade will prepare for artillery fire, and the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade will launch a general attack on Huangyang'ao after serving." ”

"Hai"

"Hai"

Captain Yamamoto of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade and Captain Ikeda of the Artillery Brigade bowed at the same time.

"Anti-artillery, anti-artillery, hurry up and hide in the anti-artillery hole."

"What about you, are you still fucking stunned, doing death?"

"You're a heartless bitch, you're dying, and you're still in the mood to smoke?"

Lu Jianbang bent over and rushed forward along the main trench, while loudly reminding the officers and soldiers of the battalion to guard against artillery.

Replaced by the previous 19th Brigade, Lu Jianbang didn't need to work so hard at all, he only needed to say hello, and the brothers would all hide in the anti-artillery hole in the blink of an eye, but the current 19th Detachment can't do it, most of the current brothers have not been shelled by Little Japan, and they don't know the power of Little Japanese artillery.

Little Japanese shells squeaked and screamed, and there were still people standing in the trenches smoking and chatting.

As the battalion commander, Lu Jianbang could only grit his teeth and drill out of the anti-artillery hole, loudly reminding these stunned anti-artillery guns.

Fortunately, the caliber of the small Japanese shell is only 75mm, and the lethality of the shock wave more than ten meters away has been greatly weakened, if the shell with a caliber of more than 10m, even if it is not hit by fragments, the shock wave can tear you to pieces.

However, the explosion of the 75mm caliber shell was not a joke, Lu Jianbang was blown up all at once, and there was only a buzzing roar left in his ears, and he couldn't hear any other sound, Lu Jianbang sat up from the ground, looked around, and saw that the entire defensive position had been shrouded in thick gunsmoke, and it was impossible to see the figure twenty meters away.

"Boom" Another shell landed not far away, causing the ground under his feet to tremble violently.

The guard platoon commander rushed over from the anti-artillery hole and yelled at Lu Jianbang, but Lu Jianbang couldn't hear anything, only saw the guard platoon commander yelling there with his mouth wide open, and then the guard platoon commander pounced and threw Lu Jianbang to the ground, and then, Lu Jianbang felt a violent shock on the ground under him, and Lu Jianbang felt like he had been hit with a sledgehammer in the chest, and he almost closed his breath.

Next, the loud explosion, the sharp whistling sound of the cannonballs flying overhead, and the shouts of the brothers, all kinds of sounds converged and poured into his ears like a tide, almost shattering his eardrums.

Half an hour later, the shelling of Little Japan finally ended.
