When he was still in Eagle Cliff Mountain, the Eagle Cliff Mountain guerrillas led by Chu Tiange did not fight a serious positional battle with the Japanese army. And even if they fight positional warfare, it is definitely them ambushing a small group of devils. When we went to the border of Fujian and Zhejiang, the terrain there was more complicated than that of Yingya Mountain, and by virtue of the advantage of the home field, the most common tactic adopted by the guerrilla troops was to sneak attack and attack the east and west, so they did not accumulate many opportunities to resist the enemy head-on.

Fortunately, there is Zhang Quanyou, you must know that Lu Dao is from the regular army of the Eighth Classics Soldier Army, and he has also attended the night military academy for nearly half a year.

For this airborne brigade commander, Chang Ning and other "old bandits" have always looked down on him, but today's performance of Zhang Quanyou made Chang Ning and others can't help but give a thumbs up. Officers who came from guerrilla bandits are basically a virtuous person, and when they are in a mood for a good fight, or when they are provoked, they often forget their identity and change from a commander to a vanguard.

The bandits fought positional warfare, mostly ambushing small groups of enemies. And the first lesson in this kind of ambush warfare is to prepare positions. Over time, the "bandits" formed a habit that the first thing they did when they got to the position would be to repair the position, and they would hide themselves first. Habits are contagious, and this is the origin of the tradition of a force. Of course, not all traditions are applicable to every occasion.

Sometimes the "bandits" will be very sensitive to the battlefield situation, and sometimes they will be very rough. And if it weren't for Zhang Quanyou personally going up to the front line to suppress the bullets, the three brigades and one regiment would definitely not have killed so many people in the round of mortar salvo just now. Moreover, their next instinctive reaction must have been to take revenge and avenge the death of their old brother.

Chang Ning can be the head of the regiment, and he will definitely not lack tactical acumen. He and Wang Raptor were pulled behind the stone by Zhang Quanyou, looked at both sides, and found that the brothers had entered the state of battle, and when they recalled the scene of chaos and commotion when the war first started, the old face turned red and said to Zhang Quanyou: "Brigade seat, I have always served!" ”

Zhang Quanyou didn't notice this sentence, he pricked up his ears and listened intently to the various sounds on the battlefield, and suddenly shouted: "The first battalion is preparing for white-knuckle combat, and the second battalion and the third battalion are throwing grenades at me vigorously - pay attention to the rhythm!" ”

Mines, grenades, and grenadiers are the three most popular weapons of the guerrilla units of the Cadet Army. Grenadiers do not speak, after all, this was invented by the Japanese first, and grenades and mines in the hands of "bandits" can often exert double the power of regular troops. Too much experience has been accumulated in the use of mines and grenades, and now the most consumed weapons of the partisan forces are these two weapons.

Naturally, Iida Masao didn't know any of this. Although Shunroku Hata, after the Japanese army was repeatedly hit hard by the Cadet Army, specially published a pamphlet introducing its military strength, combat methods, and conventional weapons to warn them not to despise the Cadet Army, but the "embarrassment" shown by the 1st Division when retreating made him feel that Commander-in-Chief Hata Toshishi was really exaggerating. Moreover, he had no idea that what Lu Dao was sniping at now was not the regular troops of the Cadet Army, but the guerrillas of the Cadet Corps, which were known for their tricky and barbaric and unreasonable fighting style.

The Japanese attack at the beginning was very smooth, the mortar salvo killed dozens of cadets, and the later collective charge was also decent, although they were stubbornly sniped at about 30 meters from the enemy's position, but still more than 100 people rushed to the top of the mountain. As long as these more than 100 people can hold out for even five minutes, then the large troops behind will continue to drive up.

Lion Gate is a natural checkpoint leading to Xinjian County and even Nanchang, and as long as this checkpoint is broken, all the way east, except for the Ganjiang River, there is no terrain that can be used by the defenders. Iida was very proud of his subordinates, and he said loudly, "Shout! That's it! "Then it was ready to put the remaining brigade into battle.

However, at this moment, pieces of grenades flew out from the positions of the 1st Division, 3rd Brigade and 1st Regiment.

Iida was not surprised by this, and the pamphlet edited by Shunroku Hata, which mentioned this—the Cadet Army was well-armed, and the grenades and other standard weapons were fully equipped—sufficiently, that is, each soldier was equipped with four. He didn't know that the bandit-born cadets on the mountain had at least eight grenades on their bodies, and the more perverted ones would stuff their backpacks to the brim. So what is the number? Well, at least twelve, and as many as sixteen. The reason why the "bandits" carry so many grenades is because in their minds, grenades are not just grenades, they are also mines and "explosive packs" that can be used for blasting.

Zhang Quanyou's tactical adjustment was very timely, the first battalion and the devils who rushed up started a white-knuckle battle, and the second and third battalions continued to throw grenades, which could not only avoid being overwhelmed by the more than 100 devils who rushed up, but also hinder the devils below from continuing to rush up. There are more than 600 cadets in two battalions, except for those who must insist on shooting, or who have to fight with hand-to-hand devils, at least one whole battalion of cadets can maintain the rhythm and throw grenades downward.

The longitudinal width of the Lion Gate, which could be used by the Japanese army for attack, was only about 150 meters, but after the cadets of the 3rd Brigade and 1st Regiment were spread, they could maintain an attack line of 200 meters or even wider. Many trees naturally grew on the vertical surface of the Japanese attack. These trees can enhance the survival ability of the devils as natural shelters, but they cannot withstand the continuous grenade bombardment of the cadets.

The explosions of grenades came and went, and many devils fell into the fireworks, and some of them were unlucky enough to be lifted into the air, and then rolled down the mountain.

This scene certainly made Iida's heart ache, but it was not enough for him to order a halt to the attack. He shouted at the devils on the hillside: "Soldiers, hold on, the grenades of the people of China cannot be endless!" When their grenades are finished, that's when we win! ”

Under their bewitchment, the devils who were some distance from the top of the mountain lay on the ground, enduring the terrifying threat of being directly hit by grenades or shrapnel, and began to look forward to that moment. Quite a few "smart" devils began to divert their attention and single-mindedly counted the grenades that fell on the periphery - "one, two, three......"

At the same time, on the position of the Cadet Army on the top of the mountain, there were endless shouts and screams of killing, among them, there was the Japanese style they were familiar with. This strengthened their belief in persevering.

The devils who were relatively close to the top of the mountain were still charging at this time, and of course, in the face of the Weiqing-style assault rifle that was a string of bullets flying in a fire, most of them were thrown to the ground before they could rush within ten meters of the position. Then, the dozens of devils in the back finally learned to behave, and they hurriedly found a place to hide or lie directly on the ground, and also began to wait.
