"Kill these devils on our first line of defense in the mountain pass!" Wang Ping said in surprise.

The chief of staff directly asked with a disbelieving expression: "Regiment commander, you are not joking, there is a high ground on the first line of defense. If the devils retreat to the high ground to hold on, then what awaits us is a tough battle! ”

"I want the devils to stick to the mountain, the more they stick to the mountain, the easier it will be for us to destroy them!" Wang Ping continued to say in a surprising voice.

Soon, Zeng Quan reacted and shouted with a look of surprise: "I understand, regiment commander, you are going to use the tunnel of the engineer company on the high ground!" ”

Wang Ping nodded in affirmation: "The small force touched the top of the mountain, and the center bloomed. The other troops attacked from the periphery, and killed them from the inside and outside! ”

The mountain road, which could have been completed in just over an hour, had to be built while the road was being built. More than 1,000 devils struggled for nearly three hours to reach the first line of defense of the independent regiment they had captured a day earlier.

Tanabe Nakasa, the commander of the Japanese Temporary Command Artillery Brigade, was very happy and directly ordered: "Yo Xi, it's time to get out of this mountain at noon." The road ahead must be much easier, warriors, continue to pick up speed and find a way to catch up with the brigade commander. ”

"It is the main force of the Eighth Route Army that is attacking Laiyuan City this time, and the brigade commander will definitely need artillery support!"

Although the procession, which stretched for nearly a kilometer, was very tired, Tanabe's orders could not be ignored, so he could only insist on continuing his journey.

"Woo woo woo ......" Suddenly, a dense screech reached their ears.

Tanabe, who was an artilleryman, could immediately hear that it was a scream that could only be produced by a dozen mortar shells flying through the sky together.

His face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Baga, it's artillery bombardment, there is an ambush for the Eighth Route Army here!" ”

Before the shouts of "boom boom boom ......" were finished, a violent explosion exploded in the middle of the ranks.

More than a dozen artillery shells, more than 30 grenade grenades, most of which smashed in the middle of the Japanese marching column.

Before the violent explosion of "da-da......" ended, the sound of dense machine-gun fire reached Tanabe Nakasa's ears. ad_250_left();

A shuttle of heavy machine gun bullets flew directly towards the field, and if it weren't for the guards who threw him to the ground with their lives, the field would have been smashed into a sieve by bullets.

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army, we were ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise they would not be able to equip so many artillery pieces and light and heavy machine guns!" Nakasa, who escaped the catastrophe and still had a palpitating expression on his face, immediately made a judgment.

Then shouted loudly: "Counterattack, the troops will strike back immediately!" Suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army! ”

However, the imperial army of more than 1,000 people was too scattered, and more than half of them were still on the mountain roads in the forest.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment who attacked them lay in ambush in the woods next to the mountain road and shot them at close range.

At the beginning of the raid battle, a large number of devils were killed by the dense firepower, and the devils in many places were directly wiped out under the first round of firepower.

Even if they weren't all killed, after being attacked, many devils subconsciously concentrated in the direction of their squadron leader and captain, so as to hug together to increase their chances of survival on the battlefield.

As a result, the Japanese marching contingent, which stretched for a kilometer, immediately had a lot of firepower vacancies.

The independent regiment that attacked them did not miss this opportunity, and immediately launched an attack, with a posture of dividing and surrounding the devils, and then destroying them little by little.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack, and they want to divide and surround us!" A lieutenant saw that the situation was not right and immediately reminded him.

The captain of the baggage who hurried over turned out to be an infantry squadron leader, and then reminded: "Tanabe-kun, our troops are too scattered, and it is easy to be divided and surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and each one is broken. We must concentrate them and hold on to them, and seize the initiative on the battlefield so that we can have a chance to live! ”

Then he pointed directly to the high ground on the hill behind him and said: "Concentrate the troops on the top of the mountain, and there will definitely be no problem for more than 1,000 of us to hold out until dawn." ”

"When dawn comes, we will have air support to cover our breakthrough back to Laiyuan City."

"Just do as you say, all the troops will retreat and retreat to the top of the mountain to hold on!" Tanabe, who was facing this situation for the first time, was also a little scrambling and didn't know what to do. Now when I heard that there was a feasible solution, I almost subconsciously agreed.

"And what about the cannons and baggage we protect? Surely you can't retreat with you. But as soon as we leave, these heavy weapons and ammunition will definitely fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army! The captain of the baggage continued to remind.

"If the Eighth Route Army, which ambushed us, will use these mountains to run, then they will definitely use these artillery to shell us!"

"Blow them all up!" Tanabe Nakasa gritted his teeth and replied.

"These heavy weapons must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise countless warriors will definitely die under the shelling of these artillery in the future!"

"Order the artillery, baggage troops, immediately blow up the artillery and supplies, bring weapons and ammunition and move to the mountain, hold on until dawn, and then break through when air support arrives!"

Within a few minutes of "Boom ......", several violent explosions like thunder sounded on the mountain road, and then I saw several fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke rising into the air, instantly illuminating the surrounding battlefield red.

Wang Ping, who was holding the binoculars, frowned and shouted: "It's not good, the devils must stop them if they bomb artillery and supplies again!" ”

Then without waiting for Zeng Quan to open his mouth, he ordered loudly: "Trumpeter, blow the trumpet, charge all, and drive the devils on the road to the mountain!" ”

The devils here have been fighting with the Eighth Route Army more than once or twice, and they know very well what the sound of the charge means to the Eighth Route Army!

Having received an order to retreat, they continued to hold out on the road only to blow up supplies and artillery, firing at the independent regiment that ambushed them.

However, this is no longer the case.

There were no positions on the road, not even favorable terrain for defense.

Now that they are attacking, it is impossible for them to block the Eighth Route Army that is rushing towards them as if they were not killed.

As a result, many devils forgot the task of bombing at this time, and retreated to the mountains behind with their weapons.

Because, as anyone with a modicum of military common sense knows, it is much easier to defend from a high position on a hill than on a flat bottom, and it is easier to save one's life.

More and more devils saw the Eighth Route Army retreating in the direction of the mountain.

However, there are still quite a few devils who are not afraid of death, staying on the road and continuing to blow up supplies and artillery.

During the charge of the troops, violent explosions sounded on the highway without stopping.

And every time the explosion reached Wang Ping's ears, Wang Ping's heart would hurt.

Because, in his eyes, the Japanese army is now bombing not their things, but their own things.

After two days of bloody fighting, the independent regiment had already exhausted almost all of its reserves. If it can't be replenished in time, it will be difficult to recover in a short time, and as the head of the regiment, Wang Ping knows this fact better than anyone else.

Therefore, the artillery, weapons and ammunition carried by the Japanese army with the army, Wang Ping is bound to get!
