"Idiot, you don't know anything about the Sparrow tactics of the Dirt Eight Road!"

Kuroshima Morita slapped Jiro Kuroshima in the face with another backhand.

Nishitakeichi also explained: "Jiro, it's not a question of being afraid or not, it's that the dirt eight roads are scattered and invisible, and our team can't find a chance to fight them head-on!" ”

"What if you can't find a chance to fight head-on?"

Kuroshima Jiro roared: "Then slaughter Yang Village, slaughter the entire Taihang Bandit District!" ”

"And then?" Kurishima Morita said, "On the way to Yangcun, on the way to sweep the Taihang bandit area, they constantly suffered from the sparrow battle of the Eighth Road, and there will be broken imperial soldiers every day and even every moment, how long do you think the more than 1,300 imperial soldiers of the Black Island United can hold out?" Three days or five days? ”

Kuroshima Jiro was speechless, there was really no way about this.

Hiding in the stronghold let the earth eight roads bully like this,

If you really go to the wild, it will be even more difficult to say.

"Go back!" Morita Kuroshima shouted, "Get out of here!" ”

Kuroshima Jiro glared at Kuroshima fiercely, and reluctantly left.

Seeing Jiro Kuroshima's back walk away, Nishitakeichi said with some concern: "Captain, Jiro's mood seems to be a little unstable, beware of him making radical moves." ”

"Don't worry." Kuroshima Morita waved his hand and said, "He doesn't dare to mess around." ”

Xizhuyi originally wanted to persuade again, but when the words came to his lips, he changed to another topic.

"Captain, it's not a way to go on like this." Xizhu said in a deep voice, "If Tubalu comes to shoot one or two shots at the Huting stronghold every night, then the imperial soldiers of the entire wing don't want to rest well, after a long time, the imperial soldiers will inevitably breed negativity and morale problems." ”

"How could I not know that?" Kuroshima Morita said in a deep voice, "But now I can only endure it. ”

Xizhu said: "Otherwise, we will build several small strongholds at a distance of three to five kilometers outside the Huting stronghold, and each stronghold will send a cavalry squad to garrison it. ”

"If you don't have enough people, you can also transfer the Imperial Army."

"You don't need to build fortifications that are too strong."

"Just build an improvised turret."

"In this way, the Huting stronghold can be protected."

After saying that, Xizhuyi was still a little complacent, thinking that this idea was good.

"It's just stupid!" Kuroshima Morita poured a basin of cold water on his head.

"The Huting stronghold is just being harassed, if you build a small stronghold on the periphery as you said, it won't be a problem of harassment, Tubalu can directly end the stronghold, and the loss will only be greater at that time."

"How can it be so easy?" Xizhuyi was unconvinced, "If the outlying stronghold is attacked on a large scale by Tubalu, the Huting stronghold will send the main force of the wing to rescue." ”

"The question is, how do you judge the scale of the Dohachi Road attack?"

"And can you really ignore the small scale of the Dirt Eight Road?"

"In the dirt road just now, one person can pull out a turret!"

"And how can the communication between the Tiger Pavilion stronghold and the outlying stronghold be guaranteed?"

Kuroshima Morita threw out a series of questions, and said: "If you really do what you say, then the main force of the wing really doesn't need to sleep, and it's enough to be busy every night just caring about rescuing the outlying strongholds." ”

Xizhu ran out of words, frowned and said, "Then there's really nothing to do." ”

A different color flashed in Kuroshima Morita's eyes, and he said, "I said it, use forbearance!" ”

Nishitakeichi asked, "Will you endure until the battle begins?" ”

Kuroshima Sen was silent.

……

Let's go back and talk about Wang Ye and Wang Chengzhu.

ran to a distance of almost five kilometers before reining in the warhorse.

Wang Ye turned his head and asked with a smile: "Company Commander Wang, are you cool?" ”

"Of course it's cool!" Wang Chengzhu said with a smile, "Of course it's cool to shoot cannons." ”

Wang Ye said again: "Since it's so cool, go back and him again?" ”

"No problem." Wang Chengzhu said, "Don't talk about one cannon, two more cannons can be done." ”

When he came out this time, Wang Chengzhu brought a whole box of shells, and one box was exactly three shots.

"That's not going to work." Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "Don't finish it all at once, then our artillery reserves can't be carried out, after all, we don't have a place to replenish." ”

"Listen to you."

Wang Chengzhu said: "Anyway, I just have to shoot the cannon." ”

At that moment, the two of them went around in a big circle and returned to the west of the Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

Looking from afar, I saw that the Tiger Pavilion stronghold had regained its calm, as if nothing had happened.

Wang Ye asked Wang Chengzhu to lead the war horse to stay in the area three kilometers away, while he himself carried a rifle and quietly searched forward under the cover of night.

This is to clear the neighborhood of the devils.

Otherwise, the devil will give them a cold look from behind, and it will be troublesome.

Wang Ye searched very carefully, his eyesight has been strengthened by legendary-level sniping, which cannot be compared with an owl, but it is estimated that it is not much worse than a dog's night vision.

And Wang Ye's sense of hearing is also extremely keen.

But even so, whether or not you can find the devil's lurking post is all up to luck.

Because the devil's lurking posts are all camouflaged, it is difficult to find them in broad daylight, let alone at night?

Listening to the sound of breathing is even more ridiculous, how close do you have to be to hear the sound of breathing? So unless you're lucky, it's hard to spot the devil lurking in the dark.

Last time, Wang Ye was able to find the devil's lurking post, it was really shit luck.

But then again, it's just a bit of a hassle to not be able to find the devil lurking post.

Because the hidden area of the devils reaches a radius of three kilometers, such a large range, the density will definitely not be high, at most two or three devils within a distance of a hundred meters.

So unless it's the worst of luck,

Otherwise, it will basically not be with the devil's lurking outpost.

Wang Ye searched carefully for more than an hour, but found nothing.

It seems that next time, we have to come two hours in advance to determine the location of the devil's lurking post, and then clear the target point, so that Wang Chengzhu can clear a relatively safe artillery position.

But I can't help it today, so I can only do it first.

Immediately turned back to meet Wang Chengzhu, first concealed the war horse, and then helped Wang Chengzhu carry the cannonball, while Wang Chengzhu himself carried the mortar, and quickly found a gun position.

The whole process was very small for both of them.

In order not to alarm the lurking devil sentry.

Leaning on the sporadic lights in the Tiger Pavilion stronghold,

Wang Chengzhu quickly measured the distance, which was about 2,500 meters.

The maximum firing range of the Type 97 81mm infantry curved gun is 2850 meters, so the distance is not a problem at all.

Taking advantage of the short gap between Wang Chengzhu's cannons, Wang Ye also chose a hidden sniper position twenty meters away.

Wang Chengzhu's mortar was facing the Huting stronghold, and Wang Ye's muzzle was facing the bare hills around Wang Chengzhu, and his first task now was to protect Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu quickly set up the mortar.

He opened the wooden box and took out a shell and filled it through the muzzle.

A three-kilogram shell slid into the chamber with a thud, and the primer and the firing pin made a soft sound.

Then there was a tom sound, accompanied by a red light, and the cannonball whistled out from the muzzle of the cannon, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and flying towards the stronghold of Huting two kilometers away.

The muffled sound of this tom, as well as the red light, is still very eye-catching at night.

Then Wang Ye saw a movement about ten meters away in front of him, and it seemed that someone was adjusting his posture! Damn, there's a devil's lurking post here!

Wang Ye's surprise is really extraordinary.

The devil's lurking post is actually hiding less than twenty meters away!

If this devil didn't move, Wang Ye really wouldn't have been able to find him, but now that he moved, he probably wanted to turn the muzzle of the gun and aim at Wang Chengzhu, but he exposed himself.

As the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind.

The devil's lurking post had just turned the muzzle, and Wang Ye had already pulled the trigger first.

Only a pop was heard, and the devil lurking post more than ten meters away fell to the ground, and the 38 big cover that had already completed aiming in his hand had no chance to shoot.

However, there are still two devil lurking posts and pulling the trigger at the same time.

Two dazzling tracer lights immediately shot from two different directions to the top of the mountain where Wang Chengzhu was located, but the distance between the two devils was a little far, so they failed to hit the target.

Only if they can hit, there are ghosts, because they can't even see Wang Chengzhu's figure clearly.

The reason why the two devil lurking posts wanted to fire tracer bullets was only to guide the heavy machine guns in the stronghold.

In the blink of an eye, two dazzling tracer lights completed the intersection on the hill where Wang Chengzhu was located, and this intersection point was the target that the heavy machine gun needed to strafe!

In the next moment, four tongues of fire poured out from the Tiger Pavilion stronghold two thousand meters away.

However, at this distance, even the heavy machine gun has a very large ballistic area, and the hit rate is very low.

However, Wang Chengzhu still carried the mortar and the shell box and rushed down the hill as soon as possible, and the heavy machine gun fire of the devil was isolated in front of the mountain.

Immediately afterward, two flares flew into the air.

Wang Chengzhu shouted to his mother, and hurriedly made various tactical evasion moves.

At this time, the two devil lurking posts lurking a hundred meters away finally saw Wang Chengzhu clearly.

The two devil lurking posts immediately turned the muzzle of their guns and pulled the trigger almost at the same time.

If this is daytime, at a distance of more than 100 meters, well-trained devils are basically raised their hands.

But now after all, it is nighttime, and even if there is flare illumination in the sky, the visual conditions are still not as good as in the daytime, which seriously affects their accuracy.

Neither of the Devil outposts could hit their targets.

By the time they pulled out their guns and were ready to fire a second shot, they had no chance.

Wang Ye raised his hand and killed the first devil with one shot, then completed the shell withdrawal and ammunition with a faster hand speed, and then shot and completed the shooting at a faster speed.

The second devil lurking post had just raised his rifle when a bloody flower suddenly bloomed on his chest, and then his body pounced forward and there was no movement.

There was a sudden silence around them.

Only two flares were still burning in the air.

Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like a tide in the direction of the Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

You don't have to look back to know that it must have been killed by the devil cavalry.

Wang Ye also jumped to his feet and ran forward while making tactical evasion moves.

Although the three devil sentry posts had been shot just now, there must be more lurking posts in the distance, and it would be foolish to wait and run forward under the light of the flares.

The first set of evasive actions has just been completed,

A screech suddenly sounded overhead.

Needless to say, there must have been another devil lurking post shooting at him.

Although the whole person was running, Wang Ye did not lose his observation of the surrounding environment, and with the sound of gunshots and the observation of the corner of his eye, he quickly discovered and locked on this devil.

Wang Ye ran forward two steps, and suddenly fell sideways.

The moment the body came to the side, Wang Ye quickly shot out, with his superhuman gun sense, he shot at the right front about a hundred meters away, and then he didn't have time to see the result, he rolled on the ground and got up and ran forward.

While rolling and climbing, he was doing evasive actions as usual, and not far in front of him was Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu's movements seem clumsy, but they are actually very practical, at least the devil failed to hit him just now.

It only took less than two minutes, Wang Ye and Wang Chengzhu had already rushed to the hiding place of the war horse, and then one of them stepped on the war horse and ran forward without delaying for a second.

From time to time, bullets screeched over the heads of the two men.

It was a devil sentry in the distance, shooting at them.

But there is nothing to worry about with this stray bullet.

Unless luck comes home, it's impossible to get hit by a stray bullet.

This time, the two ran seven or eight kilometers before they dared to stop.

Looking back, there was darkness and silence on the mountain road behind him.

Obviously, the devil cavalry only chased for a while and then stopped chasing.

The devil cavalry was still afraid that there would be an ambush by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army on the way.

At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, and after making sure that there was no devil cavalry behind them, the two of them turned over and dismounted and found a sheltered place to eat supper.

"It's so cool!" Wang Chengzhu nibbled on steamed buns and said, "After eating, you will shoot him again?" ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today, I won't have time." Wang Ye said, "Besides, I have already killed two devils today, it's enough, and it's not too late to use the remaining shells tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Wang Chengzhu said, "Come back tomorrow." ”

The two of them ate and drank enough, and then walked back leisurely.

Wang Chengzhu still has some pity for the equipment of those devils.

"Xiao Wang, how many devils did you kill just now?"

"Three, or four, right? Can you please stop calling me Xiao Wang? It seems that Lao Tzu is your subordinate. ”

"Hey, you're just a deputy platoon, but Lao Tzu is a serious person, isn't he your superior? Hurry up and salute me, and then shout hello chief. ”

"you, you're the head of a ball?"

"If Lao Tzu doesn't make a mistake, he is now in the camp."

"When you see me on a dog day, I really have to salute and call the chief."

"Who made you make mistakes? But, seriously, you kid did a great job! There are not many people in our independent regiment who can make me Wang Chengzhu admire, the head of the regiment is counted as one, and you are also counted as one. ”

The two of them were talking nonsense while coming to Yang Village.

……

Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

Kuroshima Morita's horse face was black again.

Because the baggage squadron had just brought back four more corpses.

The second shell fired by Tubalu just now actually did not cause substantial damage to the Huting stronghold, because the impact point was in the trench outside the stronghold.

This black light blinds,

The artillery of the Tu Eighth Road is actually not much of a threat.

But the outposts lying in ambush on the periphery were four dead!

Nishitakeichi lifted the shroud of the four corpses one by one, observed for a while, and then came back and said to Kuroshima Morita: "The four imperial soldiers, all of whom were hit by the vital point, were all killed by one shot, without exception. ”

The squadron leader of the baggage squadron added: "One of them was fired from a hundred meters away, and that Dirt Hachiro was just a casual shot in the middle of the run, and it pierced Hasegawa-kun's heart. ”

Xizhu said: "This must be the dirt road before." ”

Kuroshima Morita was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

But the officers standing behind Kuroshima Morita were going crazy.

Xizhu said: "Captain, why don't you withdraw the lurking post?" ”

"Can't be withdrawn!" Kuroshima Morita flatly refused, "Once the outlying outposts are withdrawn to the stronghold, the situation will immediately return to the original point, and that bold Tsuchibachi will dare to bully to get close to the stronghold within a thousand meters to shoot cold artillery!" At that time, there would only be more jade broken imperial soldiers. ”

"But it can't go on like this."

Xizhu said: "Two jade pieces today, three jade pieces tomorrow, when will it be the end?" ”

"I said it, forbearance!" Kuroshima Morita gritted his teeth and said, "Get through this time." ”

Nishitakeichi was silent, he had already said what he should say, and how to do it was Kuroshima Morita's business.

After all, the wing commander of the 2nd Wing of the Guards Cavalry was Kuroshima Morita, not him Nishitakeichi.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and the time came to the end of 1939.

During this time, Wang Ye and Wang Chengzhu would go to the Huting stronghold every night to do one or two shots, and they didn't let the devils in the stronghold stop for a night.

There will inevitably be dangers in between.

Once the devil cavalry was ruthless and chased it for thirty miles!

But the result was extremely miserable, not only failed to kill Wang Ye and Wang Chengzhu, but Wang Ye seized the opportunity, first escaped and then killed more than a dozen devil cavalry in the process of pursuit.

Another time, the devil suddenly added a large number of dark whistles.

The three-kilometer radius around the outskirts of the stronghold is almost full of devils.

When Wang Ye was about to clear the locations marked during the day, he suddenly stabbed the hornet's nest.

Then, about ten days ago, the little devil suddenly became a shrunken turtle, and all the lurking posts on the periphery of the stronghold were removed, not to mention, and even the cavalry was no longer sent.

Wang Chengzhu set up mortars to a distance of one kilometer,

The devils in the stronghold also refused to get out of the hole, and at most used heavy machine guns to shoot back.

Time passed quietly in such a harassment, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost Chinese New Year's Eve.

In one more day, it will be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and after the Chinese New Year's Eve, it will be 1940, which is the most crucial year for the War of Resistance Against Japan.

If you just talk about difficulties, in fact, 42 or 43 years are even more difficult.

However, if we want to talk about the key point, it is the 40 years that are even more critical, because in the whole year of 40 years, almost the whole of China has been shrouded in despair, and the argument of saving the country or destroying the country has become popular.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army also had a very serious decline in combat effectiveness after the expansion of the army, and they were seizing the time to train their troops and were temporarily unable to launch a large-scale offensive.

It is no exaggeration to say that the first half of the 40 years was the lowest ebb of the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

It was under such circumstances that Wang Ye ushered in the first Lunar New Year after crossing over to the Bright Sword.
