After the communication that the large stronghold garrisoned by Tanimura was secretly attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army was transmitted to the nearby county towns in three directions, the Japanese headquarters stationed there hurriedly issued an order, each sent reinforcements, and rushed to the direction of the stronghold.

Everything was just as Tanimura envisioned, the teams from the three county towns rushed over to support were very fast, even if they relied on two legs, in the case of a rapid march, they could reach the place in an hour at most.

In the enemy-occupied county town to the south, in order to support the Gucun stronghold as soon as possible, the Japanese army headquarters even arranged a truck team, a total of ten troop transport trucks, carrying the Japanese puppet army, to quickly support the Yangquan stronghold.

Somewhere in the middle of the southbound highway, this is where the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao is responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army.

Regiment commander Kong Jie and political commissar Zhao Gang were still waiting in the rear of the area where the third battalion was responsible for blocking the attack, and they were waiting at the temporary command post in more than a mile.

Now that the sky is not completely clear, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang can't see clearly what the area where the third battalion is responsible for blocking the attack.

And Kong Jie did what he said, saying that the command was handed over to Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, and he would never interfere.

So until this moment, in addition to knowing that Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, built the concrete bunker built to block the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army in a relatively open section.

What specific ambush deployment the third battalion did, Kong Jie didn't know very well.

Before the sky was dark, about the ambush operation of the three battalions, it was necessary to rely on the monk to send scouts to probe back and forth to pass on the news.

Fortunately, the two sides are not far away, only a few hundred meters away, and it takes less than a few minutes to run back and forth.

Around 10:50.

The sound of battle broke the dead silence of the night before dawn approached.

It's just that the sound of this shot seems to be far away, and after it is transmitted, it is not too clear.

Zhao Gang, who was standing next to Kong Jie, although he couldn't see the situation of the three battalions on the front line, could judge from the sound of gunfire...... "Strange, old Kong, the combat area is not in the direction of the concrete bunker, it should be more advanced, it should be about two kilometers in front of the bunker." ”

"It seems that the commander of the third battalion has another ambush arrangement."

Kong Jie smiled: "It's not for us to worry about, I'm a little surprised, this devil's reinforcements came really quickly, judging by this point in time, it should be the devil who sent a truck over." ”

"Monk, hurry up, send a few scouts over to see what the situation is."

"Yes!"

After a long while, the scouts sent by the monk returned and reported to Kong Jie: "Report to the regiment commander and political commissar, the third battalion sent half a platoon to ambush the convoy of trucks passing by the Japanese puppet army a few kilometers away. ”

Kong Jie asked: "You mean, in addition to the pillbox fortifications at the rear, the third battalion also sent teams to block the Japanese puppet army along the way in advance?" ”

"Yes, regiment commander, I heard from Instructor Li of the Ninth Company that the commander of the third battalion ordered to lay mines two kilometers away from the pillbox fortifications, and also arranged an ambush, it seems that there were three ambushes, the first interception arranged half a platoon's troops, the second interception arranged the strength of a platoon, and the third interception seemed to arrange a company's troops, blocking the pace of the Japanese puppet army layer by layer."

Kong Jie nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhao, it seems that I, the commander of the three battalions, have a very thorough understanding of what I said about the task of annihilating the Japanese puppet army reinforcements!" ”

……

……

The devil's reinforcement truck team stepped on the mine a few minutes ago, and the density of the mines planted was not small, and the devil had to stop the truck and get out of the car to clear the mines.

At this time, on the dirt slopes on both sides, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the third battalion and half a platoon launched an attack on the Japanese puppet army.

It's just that the forces of this attack are not many, the firepower is also weak, and even the bullets are a little sparse.

After fighting for a while, the Eighth Route Army directly chose to retreat, and the devil's artillery fire failed to catch up with the retreat of the Eighth Route Army.

The leader of the devil squadron in charge of support frowned and ordered the sappers to clear the mines, while looking at the ambush soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who fled from the hillsides on both sides, and cursed: "These hateful dirt eight roads must be deliberately ambushed here, delaying our pace, so as to cover their main force to attack the Gucun stronghold, we must speed up and not delay any longer." ”

"The speed of mine clearance by the sappers is too slow, and they directly use grenadiers to blast and clear mines."

"Hey!"

The so-called blasting and demining with grenadiers is actually to use grenadiers and shells to bombard minefields, or detonate buried mines, or use shock waves to destroy the internal structure of mines, so as to make mines ineffective.

Naturally, the effect was very good, and the minefield, which originally took more than ten minutes to be cleared, was bombed by grenadiers and shells, and it was done in a blink of an eye.

"Keep going!"

The devil puppet army quickly got into the truck and continued to move forward, but it did not go half a mile, stepped on the mine again, and was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the dirt slope again.

The leader of the devil squadron was a little annoyed, this is the consistent method of reinforcement on the Dirt Eight Road, and the mines are constantly planted along the way, which is simply annoying.

As for the reinforcements on both sides, it seems that there are more troops than before.

It's just that as soon as the shells of the grenadiers on the Japanese side hit, the other party directly chose to retreat, which made the little devil a little depressed, and all his strength hit the cotton.

The Japanese reinforcements then continued the previous steps, using grenadiers to clear the mines and then re-advance.

This time, after traveling for almost a kilometer, along both sides of a dirt slope along the road, more Eighth Route Army suddenly ambushed it and launched a surprise fire.

However, what made the leader of the devil squadron a little puzzled was that this time the truck team did not run into a minefield, and the firepower of the Eighth Route Army ambushed on both sides was still sparse, just some rifle fire, and he didn't even hear the sound of artillery fire.

Of course, he didn't have much doubt about this, the Eighth Route Army was backward in equipment and ammunition was scarce, which was the consensus of almost all Japanese officers.

Therefore, in any head-to-head confrontation, the Japanese army will rarely take the Eighth Route Army in its eyes.

The Japanese squadron leader, who was anxiously rushing to the Tanimura stronghold to support, did not think much about it, since there was no minefield laid, which would not affect the movement of the convoy, and the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on both sides was sparse, so for the time being, he would ignore these sneak attacks of the Eighth Route Army and rush to the stronghold to support.

Thinking of this, Tanimura gave an order, "The convoy is moving forward at full speed to support Tanimura's stronghold, and don't pay attention to the sneak attack on both sides of the dirt road!" ”

"Hey!"

……………………

"Lao Zhao, see it, it's the same as my analysis."

"Speaking of which, don't look at the third battalion commander's silent behavior on weekdays, this brainstorm, it's no worse than the second battalion commander Shen Quan."

"I now understand the purpose of his construction of the bunker fortifications in the open road, which is a tactic to cooperate with the previous several kilometers of layered blocking the enemy's plan."

"The three ambushes in front are just to paralyze the little devils, and at the same time, under the noses of the devils, the main force will be detoured back to the back of the Japanese puppet army reinforcements through the dirt slopes on both sides."

"If I were the commander of the third battalion, the first two ambushes would have to be carried out in conjunction with the minefield, and the devil reinforcements were bent on pursuing the speed of support, and the most headache was the mines."

"The first two minefields, while making the little devil vigilant, gritted his teeth angrily, but he was helpless."

"When the third ambush came, the devil found that there were only ambushes on both sides, but there was no minefield, the little devil was bent on supporting the stronghold, plus the body defense of the truck was good, and the speed was fast, so he could directly throw the ambushed Eighth Route Army on both sides behind the ass with the help of speed."

"But if the devil really thinks so, then he has completely fallen into the trap of the third battalion commander."

"I don't know if you noticed it before, the third battalion commander built the bunker fortifications on a relatively wide section of the road, but it was facing a turn in the southbound road, which directly obscured the view of the straight line."

"This means that the devil's truck fleet can't see the bunker fortifications at all until they pass through this turn, plus the cover of this dark night."

"The devil just drove in at full speed, rushed out of the last ambush set up by the commander of the third battalion, the speed of the car had not yet slowed down, and after turning the turn of the road, he plunged directly into the fire coverage area of the pillbox fortifications."

"At this time, the devil wants to turn around, it's completely too late, I guess the third battalion commander will plant a large number of mines again in the corner area."

"In addition, the team that ambushed the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army before will quickly gather their forces, and at the same time re-lay mines on the route of the devil's evacuation, and then combine the pillbox fortifications to flank the Japanese army in front and back, and wipe out the Japanese army on this hidden turning road."

Zhao Gang said suddenly: "It turns out that the commander of the third battalion is planning this, no wonder he will build the bunker fortifications here, the Japanese convoy turned around, and without reacting at all, it was directly hit by the fire of the bunker fortifications."

The topography of this bend is exquisite. ”……
