Almost at the same time as the battle broke out, the two devils in the vanguard of the Japanese army stepped directly on the mine.

The devil soldiers who followed behind were so frightened that they hurriedly took a few steps back, away from the direction of the minefield.

Yamazaki and the adjutant in the rear emergency command were a little dumbfounded.

Fooled!

There were clearly mines planted in this passage, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who fled before were definitely acting, they avoided these mines and escaped.

As the adjutant said, this is a trick by the Eighth Route Army to lure the enemy deeper.

"Yaga, fire back!" The old devil Yamazaki, who was deeply rooted in the bone marrow by arrogance, roared angrily, the first time Yamazaki's brigade was sneak attacked, Yamazaki's reaction was not to retreat, but to counterattack, the Eighth Route Army would ambush in this line of sky, and more and more he realized that after breaking through this line of sky, there was definitely an important military location of the Eighth Route Army.

The follow-up fire of the guard company was instantly launched, and the soldiers, in accordance with the order of the company commander Wei Dayong, took the lead in throwing the explosives bags and grenades at hand towards the devil's baggage squad and artillery squadron.

These basic range-of-range blasting firepower are actually not taken into account by the little devils on the conventional battlefield, after all, if grenades and explosives packs are thrown manually, they can't be thrown too far at all.

On the battlefield, the machine guns and grenadiers of the devils could easily suppress the grenades and explosives packs of the Eighth Route Army.

But at this moment, this precipitous terrain is destined to make the battlefield here unusual.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hidden on both sides of the mountain throw a slightly larger stone down, as long as they can hit the little devils, the little devils will be seriously injured if they don't die, and even the steel helmets on their heads can't save them.

The impact of a large stone of such height cannot be eliminated by a small helmet.

And the high-altitude throwing in front of me is such a dangerous weapon as grenades and explosives bags, which is even more terrifying.

The guard company also has members of Wang Gensheng's bombing team, and several members are not unfamiliar with the performance of grenades and grenades.

Before the battle began, several team members had explained to the fighters:

"The lethality of the air explosion is the greatest, if it is made in our border area, the delay is too short, tear off the fuse and throw it down directly, our mountain height is not low, if you want the grenade to explode next to the devil, you even have to send a little more force to throw it down."

"The devil's grenade has a long delay, pinch it in your hand for two seconds, and then aim at the target, you don't need to send too much force, just throw it gently."

"After the specific battle started, we experimented and adjusted everyone's throws."

The battle began in front of them, and the fighters immediately followed the instructions to throw grenades in the air.

After a little experimentation, several members of the grenade-throwing team mastered the rules of air explosion and immediately conveyed the adjustment plan to the surrounding fighters.

As a result, after this small grenade was thrown from the mountain by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army at this moment, the power it showed shocked the little devil.

It is estimated that four or five of the ten can explode in the air, and it suddenly exploded at a height of less than half a meter away from the Japanese army's team, not to mention its own power, the scattered fragments are even more unguardable, and the devil is a large piece when he is injured.

As for the more powerful explosive bag, not to mention, tear off the lead and throw it down, within a radius of ten meters, the little devil will be injured if he touches it.

At this time, one side is condescending, and grenades can be used as mortars.

On the other hand, they are looking up at the sky, and under the cracks of this line of sky, they can't find any dead corners at all, and they are completely counterattacking with firepower without defense.

The devil's marksmanship is good, but so what?

When the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were shooting, they could even take the lead in grabbing a handful of stones and throwing them towards the target, so that the little devils did not dare to concentrate on shooting, while the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to fire.

The two sides made a judgment from above, and this is the help that absolute geographical advantages bring to the war.

Coupled with the condescending nine machine guns in the first and second platoons (the machine guns were left behind when the third platoon left), under the cover of crossfire, the guns in the air were loud, and the little devils looked up at the high-altitude counterattack in the cracks, and even felt a little dizzy, only feeling that the whole world was full of firepower.

Life can be harvested at any time.

As for the baggage squads and artillery squadrons that were hit hard, after the monk commanded the fighters and threw a large number of grenades and explosives bags over.

The casualties of the devil's baggage and artillery spread rapidly, and even an infantry cannon happened to be hit by an explosive bag and was directly blown up.

At this moment, the arrogant Yamamoto finally dispelled the idea of continuing to break through the first line of heaven, although he thought that the exit of the first line of heaven seemed to be not far away.

"Immediately cover the baggage and artillery retreat!"

Yamazaki gave the order, and the Japanese brigade counterattacked while covering the retreat of the baggage and artillery squadrons in an orderly manner.

Noticing that the devil began to retreat, the monk knew very well what this meant, the Japanese artillery fire was difficult to launch a counterattack under the gap between the first line of the sky, so the ambush battle in front of him could temporarily defeat the little devil is powerless.

But once the devil pulled the artillery out of the first line of sky, the Japanese army could immediately shell the mountains on both sides of the first line of sky and counterattack the guard company.

The monk, who realized this, commanded the soldiers to continue to kill the rear of the Japanese army who was still on the front line and had not had time to withdraw.

After the Japanese mountain artillery squadron completely withdrew from the front line, the monk hurriedly ordered: "Quick, everyone immediately withdraw from the frontline position and retreat to the anticline!" ”

The order was given, and the flag soldier conveyed the monk's order to the second platoon through the flag.

The warriors quickly moved into action, armed with all kinds of weapons, and quickly retreated from the forward fortifications to the back of the ridge line of the mountains on both sides.

Boom –

Almost as soon as the soldiers withdrew with their front feet, the devil's artillery fire came with their back feet.

The heavy artillery fire directly overwhelmed the forward fortifications where the fighters had just been.

In the explosion, the mountains and rocks were splashed and the trees were destroyed, so it was not shocking.

Looking at the devil's artillery counterattack, the platoon commander said with palpitations: "Company commander, fortunately, we withdrew in time, otherwise our two platoons would have been almost wiped out with this round of artillery fire in front of us." ”

As for the present, the soldiers are hiding behind the ridge line of the mountain, and the direct fire of the devils is useless at all.

As for the curved artillery fire, it also needs an angle, and the devil does not know the specific hiding location of the guard company, and the shells also cannot explode in the dead angle area of the anticline.

"Hehe, company commander, don't say this anti-slope tactic that the regiment commander said, it's really good!"

The monk said: "With the existence of this anticline, the devil's artillery does not threaten us temporarily, and it takes time for the devil to pass through the first line of the sky, brothers, after the devil's artillery fire stops for a while, don't be in a hurry to move, beware of the little devil's deliberate ceasefire, deceive us into showing our heads, first send forward observation posts to determine the situation, and then everyone will return to the combat fortifications." ”

"Yes!"

The platoon commander said happily: "Company commander, the devil has entered the first line of the sky, just now let's sneak attack here, the little devil has to shed his skin if he doesn't die."

Although the battle was only a few minutes, the devils that could be eliminated by us should be close to a hundred, and if you count the casualties, it will definitely be more than one squadron.

Company commander, do you think we're annoying the little devils? ”

The monk smiled and did not speak.

Is the devil annoyed, outside the entrance of the sky, the old devil Yamazaki, who is full of iron blue face, is the best answer.

The casualties on the Japanese side were similar to those estimated by the platoon commander.

Although only more than 70 people were killed in battle, the wounded were even more than one squadron, and these wounded needed to be cared for by other soldiers, which directly weakened the strength of Yamazaki's brigade to a large extent.

Coupled with the dead baggage soldiers and artillery, as well as the infantry gun that was blown up, it is no exaggeration to say that the Yamazaki brigade directly lost nearly one-third of its combat strength in terms of the ambush just now.

If Yamazaki could not make any further progress in this military operation, he might have to commit suicide by disembowelment to apologize to the emperor based on his immediate losses.

"Keep the bombardment!"

Two minutes after the artillery fire stopped, Yamazaki gave the order again.

This artillery counterattack was more of a retaliatory component.

As for how many Eighth Route Army troops were killed in the bombing, Yamazaki has no bottom in his heart now.

The ambush of the Eighth Route Army in the first line of heaven did catch him off guard, and he now regretted a little that he had not been able to listen to the adjutant's advice before, and could have been more cautious, and after exploring both sides of the mountain, he would have considered entering the first line of heaven.

The same disgraced adjutant leaned over and said with relief: "Sir, Tu Balu will actually set up an ambush here, which shows that after the current sandwich road, there must be an important military location of the Eighth Route Army, if we can eliminate this group of eight roads, and then break through the sandwich road, we will definitely be able to win a big victory!" ”

This is indeed a highly anticipated victory!

Thinking of this, Yamazaki decided to march to the front line once again.

Of course, at the same time that the vanguard entered the first line of sky, Yamazaki ordered the mountain artillery squadron to continue to shell the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the mountain to cover the vanguard to break through the first line of sky.

…………

At the same time, on the other side, the arsenal was the first to hear the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the sky.

Fortunately, the monk sent soldiers over in advance and conveyed the news of the devil's entry into the first line of heaven to the department in charge of the arsenal.

The cadres of the arsenal did not panic and reported the situation to their superiors as soon as possible.

The news spread quickly:

There was a Japanese brigade that touched the first line of the sky, and at this moment, the guard company of the independent regiment was blocking the Japanese army in the direction of the first line of sky.

At the headquarters, the boss who heard the news was furious and said: "What are the troops stationed all the way for?" More than 500 devils touched the hinterland of our base area, and they all hit the first line of the sky, and there was no information beforehand? Once the devils break through the first line of heaven, our army's arsenal and field hospital will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and who will be able to bear this responsibility at that time? ”

The deputy chief of staff comforted: "Don't worry, boss, fortunately, we still have a guard company stationed on the front line." ”

"It's a blessing in misfortune, by the way, which unit did you say this guard company is from?"

"It's the guard company of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie's troops."

"This kid, why is he everywhere?"

At first glance, it sounded like accusatory words, but after saying that, the boss's original anger dissipated, and then he couldn't help laughing: "From the beginning of the Battle of Cangyunling, Kong Jie, who has always been decent, seems to be a little different, and then to the cavalry company surprise attack on Qu County, this kid has given us all a big surprise."

The big stronghold of Yangquan, which laid down the devil in the back, is also a good leader of the independent regiment.

Two days ago, the Japanese army's Mingbao Airport was bombed, and when you inquire, guess what? It was Kong Jie's kid who did it again.

In addition, the militia military training manual sent to him by the brigade commander not long ago, plus several manuals on special operations tactics.

When the truth is three days apart, when you are impressed, Kong Jie, this kid, is now more and more able to take charge of himself! ”

The deputy chief of staff smiled: "Yes, boss, I am also surprised!" I've never seen a general progress at such an exaggerated rate. ”

"In ancient times, there was the king of Chuzhuang, if he didn't make a sound, he was a blockbuster, and now it seems that it is indeed true, this honest man who usually seems to be well-behaved, once it is revealed, it is really a head." The boss laughed.

"By the way, who is the company commander of Kong Jie's guard company?"

"It's called Wei Dayong, it was Kong Jie who rescued him from the devil's prisoner of war, I heard that he was a warrior monk in the Shaolin Temple for ten years, so he has a nickname called Monk, he is a martial artist, he used to be a squad leader in the Central Army, and later followed Kong Jie.

This is a fierce general, it is said that in a battle, the two sides started a white-knives battle, Wei Monk alone with a red tassel gun, stunned to stab more than a dozen devils, at that time this kid was not yet eighteen years old, a brave body, it was really the best of the three armies. ”……
