The power of the sudden explosion of twenty-five rolling thunderbolts was simply earth-shattering, and the little devil who witnessed the brutality of the explosion in the central area fell into a deep shock.

Under the violent shock wave, the devils in the explosion area were almost invisible.

At this moment, except for the first two trucks, the driver reacted quickly, stepped on the accelerator in advance, and got out of the area affected by the explosion, three of the remaining six trucks were blown up, but fortunately, each truck was five or six meters apart, and the last few trucks, because they were far away from the explosion area, were only affected by some of them, stuck on the mountain road, and were in a dilemma.

The devil Shaosa Furukawa, who quickly came back to his senses, ordered in a roar: "Counterattack, protect the heavy artillery!" ”

Before the words fell, another twenty-five rolling thunderbolts rolled down from the unknown corner of the hillside, and Furukawa, who saw this scene again, suddenly felt numb.

"Hidden, hidden—"

Unable to fight back, Furukawa ordered in a hoarse voice.

In the mountains and forests, after another twenty-five rolling thunderbolts fell, the platoon commander no longer looked at the results of the battle, and directly issued the order to retreat.

The twenty-five fighters of the Rolling Thunder Group quickly moved towards the second ambush site.

Boom –

Shortly after the soldiers of the rolling thunder group led by the platoon commander to evacuate, on the mountain road, looking at the team that had been blown up under the surprise attack of the Eighth Route Army's fifty rolling thunders, the angry Furukawa commanded the artillery and used more than a dozen grenadiers to cover the mountain forest area on the right side of the mountain road.

From the perspective of the ancient well, the rolling thunder rolled down from that area.

In addition to the grenadier fire cover, Furui also commanded the devils to use light machine guns to shoot wildly at the local area on the right side of the mountain forest, and it seemed that he didn't want to let go of even an ant.

"Hit, beat me to death these dirt roads, not a single one will be left!"

Furui vented the anger in his heart.

On the other side, the explosion of rolling thunder also reached Mitsui's ears.

The Mitsui squadron is still in the middle of a fierce battle at the moment.

The comrades of the district squad and the militia squad took advantage of the enhanced firepower configuration and the application of the surrounding terrain to carry out fire strikes from a high position, causing considerable casualties to the Mitsui squadron.

But these Mitsui eloquents didn't care, he was more concerned about the main force in the rear, Furui Shaoza, there seemed to be a cannon sound, could it be an ambush?

But isn't the ambush of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army just around the corner?

Mitsui quickly realized the problem.

In the course of the ongoing operation, Mitsui discovered that the main firepower of the Eighth Route Army troops ambushed in the mountains and forests was pouring down on his Mitsui squadron.

The few trucks that weren't blown up, and the puppet army in front, these Eighth Route Army didn't particularly strike.

What does this mean? This shows that these Eighth Route Army didn't care about those trucks, but didn't the Eighth Route Army come to destroy the artillery transported in the trucks?

"It's not good, we were fooled, this time the Eighth Route Army troops who ambushed us are definitely not just in front of us!"

"Eight Roads have seen through our plan to lure the enemy."

"Quick, notify Gujing Shaozo immediately!"

Mitsui's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and after Furui commanded the artillery to cover the area where the rolling mine group was originally located, he was worried that the previous rolling mine means would appear again, and he was in a hurry to support the Mitsui squadron.

Furui hurriedly commanded the remaining team to clear the blown up truck, transfer the assembled parts of the cannon that rolled down from the truck, transfer it to the remaining trucks, and continue to move forward.

As everyone knows, the previous location of the Rolling Mine Group was only about 300 meters away from the second ambush point where the monk and his entourage were located, that is, the area where the long-range explosives package was buried.

When Furui received Mitsui's eloquent communication message and learned that the Eighth Route Army might have an ambush in the middle.

The first half of the devil's artillery unit has already stepped into the ambush circle set by the monk and his party.

"Hit!"

The monk, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, directly gave the order to fire.

Five or six fighters who were responsible for the detonation of the explosives pack pressed the detonator button almost in unison, and then ...... Boom, in the direction of the southern slope of the slower slope of Lijiapo, the long-range explosive package strike method on the first line of epiphany reappeared.

Slightly different from that time, the explosives packs planted on the trail were much smaller.

On the southern slope of Lijiapo, the detonation of the explosive package directly sent a squadron of devils to meet the emperor at that time.

The current explosion only blew up a squad that the devils advanced first.

Shallow buried under the road, the surface of the surface has been naturally treated explosives bag shrouded in the area, the devil is unaware.

When the soldiers suddenly used the detonator to detonate the explosive pack, the explosive pack filled with a large amount of explosives suddenly exploded, and most of the devil team on the mountain road was directly engulfed by the flames.

A team full of Japanese troops, a team of nearly sixty people, in the blink of an eye, only the last dozen devils remained, and they were swept away by the shock wave, looking at everything around them with a blank face mixed with horror in the buzzing sound of their heads.

Immediately afterwards, the various means that the guard company had prepared a long time ago poured down towards the remaining devils on the mountain road.

The violent explosion made Mitsui Biaoxiong, who was three miles away, chuckle violently in his heart.

Time passed by for only a few minutes, and the communication soldier reported to Mitsui eloquently with a heavy face: "Report to the chief, Furui Shaozuo's communication has been completely interrupted!" ”

Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Mitsui staggered back a few steps.

The squadron led by Furui Shaoza and the artillery transported in eight trucks carried the hope of breaking through the fortifications set up by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army at the node from the outside and rescuing the brigade commanders.

And that's where the result is.

The fierce gunfire and artillery fire from a short distance all indicated that an intensifying battle was taking place there.

But it was too late, and Mitsui knew that even if he could get rid of the Eighth Route Army in front of him and rush over, he was afraid that it would be useless.

In desperation, Mitsui sent three signal soldiers and ordered the main force to cover their evacuation from the mountains.

Before leaving, Mitsui eloquently explained: "We must tell the command that the strength of the independent regiment is far greater than we imagined, and now that the artillery has been destroyed, the brigade commander and they are trapped in the Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang areas, if we do not send additional reinforcements, I will be in danger of becoming the fourth brigade independently!" ”

"Hey!"

At about half past five in the afternoon of the same day, the battle in the mountain road area came to an end.

At sunset, the monk led the guards and local comrades and militia fighters to clean up the battlefield in all directions, and did not let go of the slightest capture, even the wreckage of the car that was blown up, as long as it could be taken away, it was also taken away.

In the words of Company Commander Wei: Sending it back to the repair institute can always come in handy!

"Company commander, the devil has transported a lot of artillery this time, 75mm mountain guns, rapid-fire guns, and infantry guns, roughly estimated, there must be more than 20 artillery pieces in total, and the assembled parts of the artillery are all disassembled and placed on the truck, but we have blown up a lot, and I don't know if we can make up a few good ones."

Hearing that so many artillery pieces had been captured, the monk's eyes were all smiling.

"No matter how much he has, take them all back to the group, don't let me go with a screw, this time Dong San's guy should invite me to drink."

"Yes!"

At dusk, the last remnant sun gradually came to an end, and in the area of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, the commander of the Japanese brigade, Yamaguchi Shu, the commander of the Japanese army, Ishii Haraichi, was standing outside the camp of the headquarters, looking at the direction of the mountain road, looking forward to the arrival of his artillery unit.

In order to break the concrete fortifications built by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army at each node.

The strange thing is that, according to the news from the large stronghold, the artillery unit set off at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and why has it not arrived yet?

In the confusion of waiting, the heart of Yamaguchi Shubian and Ishii Haraichi gradually sank to the bottom.

Soon, news came from the devil's stronghold.

The news obtained from the devil's stronghold was brought back by the three devil communication soldiers who escaped under Mitsui's eloquent cover.

"The reinforced artillery unit was ambushed by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the mountain road, and the two squadrons were completely annihilated...... Jade shattered! ”

"At present, Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang are in a predicament, and they can only wait for follow-up reinforcements."

"Yaga, you bastards!"

The temporary headquarters of the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, the commander of the Japanese brigade, Yamaguchi Shubi, roared in disappointment.

As for reinforcements......

Hideo Nakajima, the chief of staff on the side, looked at the battle map and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there is news from the front that the two imperial troops that came from the direction of the besieging Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment have been ambushed by the troops of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"The ambushed Eighth Route Army troops were well-equipped and had strong firepower, and the reinforcements on both routes suffered heavy casualties in the fierce battle."

"Among them, many of the ambushed Eighth Route Army teams are wearing military boots, which should be regular combat units of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment."

"It's this separate regiment again."

Yamaguchi was shocked and angry, "Why is this small independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army so difficult?" How much strength do they have? How many troops are there? And how much firepower is hidden in the shadows? ”

"Now I understand, this independent regiment first blocked the nodes of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, trapped our team and the Shijing Wing in place, and then united the new 1st and 2nd regiments of the Eighth Route Army to ambush our reinforcements in the middle."

"It's a typical encirclement tactic."

"But this independent regiment is really rampant, encircling points to send reinforcements, and this point needs to be easily controlled, this independent regiment is treating our fourth brigade as a soft persimmon."

Nakajima smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, the reinforcements from all walks of life swept around us have also arrived one after another, and the reinforcements who were ambushed on the way have been rescued." ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the current situation is gradually becoming complicated around Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang as the central point.

The Eighth Route Army is investing more and more troops in these two areas.

At present, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, plus several other Eighth Route Army troops, are reinforcing here.

And the troops of our empire are also corresponding to reinforcements.

If this continues, I am afraid that a large-scale operation will break out around the operational area where our Fourth Brigade is located. ”

Yamaguchi nodded, and there was shock in his eyes: "Everything is caused by this independent regiment, Kong Jie, the head of the independent regiment, what does this guy want to do?" ”

Nakajima said: "Surprise attack on Qu County, straight to the hinterland of the North China Public Security Army, night attack on Mingbao Airport, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, it can be seen from these battles that Kong Jie is a bold soldier and a master of tactical command." ”

"He seems to have a tendency to advance in military command, and whenever he finds an opportunity, he always likes to expand the scale of the campaign in a more intense direction."

"He's not concerned about whether or not he's going to make the situation bigger."

"It's about whether his independent regiment can achieve the final victory in this gradually evolving battle."

"This is a pretty confident gambler!"

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, I'm afraid it's not good if it goes on like this, once the final situation is stuck in the area of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, I'm afraid it will destroy the final plan of our imperial troops to sweep the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area this time."

"However, maybe we can use this to annihilate the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop!" Yamaguchi's eyes were red, and he spoke slowly.

There is a great determination that "the sweep can fail, and I must destroy the independent regiment".

……

West Village, Zhangjiazhuang.

The various nodes that the independent regiment defended together with the local troops and the militia comrades became more and more solid.

Over time, the strength of the concrete fortifications built at the outer section increased.

The besieged devils of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade did not believe in evil, and tried to attack several nodes, but the attacks were easily repulsed.

……

Niukou Village.

Kong Jie learned that the 5th Regiment and the 772nd Regiment were also reinforcing in the direction of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

At the same time, the Japanese troops, who were originally sweeping around the 5th Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, also moved closer to Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

After the artillery units reinforced from the large stronghold were knocked out, the Japanese high command was furious.

The sweeping net, which was originally closed towards the Taihang area, began to draw troops to reinforce the area around Niukou Village.

……

Under this change in the situation, in the area of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, the independent regiment clashed with the Japanese army, and temporarily fell into a stalemate.

No one thought that the first to try to break this stalemate was a puppet army unit, the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

Speaking of which, the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army still has a personal enmity with the Independent Regiment.

What personal vendetta?

The cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town back then was the team under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the puppet army.

As a result, the independent regiment was suddenly defeated without a sound.

That battle caught the 8th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army off guard.

At that time, the Eighth Route Army's large-scale sabotage operation launched in August last year had not yet begun.

The Eighth Route Army took the initiative to attack the Japanese puppet army in a large-scale battle, which was very rare.

In addition, the national army was losing and retreating on the front line.

The Japanese army also used the cage policy to continuously compress the living space of the Eighth Route Army.

Yan Sanfu, the brigade commander of the Eighth Mixed Brigade, always believed that the Eighth Route Army was basically at the most difficult moment during this period, and as long as he did not provoke the Eighth Route, the Eighth Route probably would not take the initiative to attack his Eighth Mixed Brigade.

In addition, this Wanjia town is nearly fifty miles away from the station of the Independent Regiment at that time!

Therefore, this Yan Sanfu also put his cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town with a swagger.

As a result, the independent regiment did not pay attention to the rules, and Li Yunlong, the deputy commander of the independent regiment at the time, led a battalion of troops to attack for fifty miles, and directly served the cavalry battalion of the 8th mixed brigade of the puppet army in Wanjia Town.

For this reason, Yan Sanfu was holding back the fire in his belly, okay, this well water does not interfere with the river water, but your independent regiment took the initiative to provoke my Eighth Mixed Brigade.

There are still three points of fire in this mud!

Adjutant Wang Dacong fanned the flames on the side, "Brigade seat, now all units of the Imperial Army are reinforcing in the two directions of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, the location of our sweep this time is relatively close to Xicun, if we can be the first to rush over and sneak attack from the flank of the independent regiment." ”

"After the battle, the Imperial Army will definitely give us the first credit."

"When Wanjia Town was attacked by the Independent Regiment last year, you said that this Independent Regiment was our enemy, and this time we just avenged this revenge."

"It just so happens that there is a platoon commander in our team, who used to live near the West Village for a while, and he said that there is a small road from the northwest that can go straight to the left flank of the West Village."

"Let's sneak up on this old road, don't seek to destroy the independent regiment, just stab him, make a show, and show the imperial army of the Fourth Brigade of the West Village, this is an excellent opportunity to ask for benefits with a little effort."

Yan Sanfu hesitated a little and said, "Great cleverness, you listen to what you say, but the independent group is easy to provoke?" For more than a year, you haven't seen how fierce the independent regiment is.

The devils don't dare to provoke easily, and the surrounding North China security forces tremble every time they see their legs.

Let's take the initiative to get together, will it be self-defeating? ”

Adjutant Wang Dacong said: "Brigade seat, that's right, but wealth is in danger, let's just pretend this time and stab him, the independent regiment is now busy fighting with the little devils, how can we take care of us?" ”

"Besides, it is precisely because of the strength of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army that the Imperial Army and the Security Army dare not provoke easily, but our Eighth Mixed Regiment just fought, or the first to jump out to fight, you say, the Imperial Army sees our performance in the eyes, can you not value us?"

Yan Sanfu was moved: "Really fighting? ”

Wang Dacong nodded, "Travel, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again!" ”

Hearing this, Yan Sanfu gritted his teeth and nodded heavily: "Okay, they all said that this independent group is not easy to mess with, and we just touched the tiger's ass today." ”

"We have to avenge the revenge of the cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town, Yan wants to see what his independent regiment can do to us."
