The news quickly spread to the mountain route between the West Village and the new regiment station.

Hirayama area.

This is the ambush area chosen by the independent regiment to cooperate with the new regiment to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

According to the tactics of Kongjie encircling the point to send reinforcements, the independent regiment first sent troops, and some soldiers of the fourth battalion and the fifth battalion, with the cooperation of local troops and militia comrades disguised as the main combat force, blocked the Japanese Fourth Mixed Brigade in Xicun and the Shijing Wing in Zhangjiazhuang.

Then, the commander of the fourth battalion, Lei Dasheng, led the main force of the fourth battalion to make a detour in the direction of the new first regiment, united with the troops of the new regiment, and ambushed the Japanese reinforcements who came to support Xicun in the middle of the way.

It all went smoothly as planned.

The two Japanese brigades that initially besieged the new regiment immediately sent almost one brigade of troops to reinforce in the direction of the west village after receiving an urgent call for help from the 4th mixed brigade of the Japanese army in the west village.

Then, this reinforced Japanese brigade was ambushed by the main force of the fourth battalion led by the commander of the fourth battalion, Lei Dasheng, in the Pingshan area.

The ambushed Japanese troops were caught off guard, and under the sophisticated equipment and fierce firepower of the soldiers of the fourth battalion, the two sides fought for only 20 minutes, and the Japanese suffered more than 300 casualties.

The captain of the devil brigade who led the team was also shocked, he got the news that the independent regiment besieged the fourth brigade in Xicun, so he led the team to rush over for reinforcements.

But how could the team in front of him, which was obviously wearing military boots and belonging to the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, appear here, and had such strength and firepower?

No one told him the answer.

Not long after, Xu Lianzhong, deputy commander of the new regiment, led more than 400 soldiers of the new regiment to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese brigade in Pingshan from the back.

At this moment, it was a flanking attack from the front and back, and the Japanese brigade that came to support Nishimura once again added a lot of casualties.

The captain of the devil suddenly realized that he had fallen into the trap of the Eighth Route Army, and these dirt eight roads had already thought of a strategy to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and they were waiting for themselves here!

In the end, the two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour.

Under the hard support of the devil brigade that was flanked by the front and rear, it urgently asked for help from other troops, until the Japanese troops sweeping nearby arrived to reinforce, which alleviated the decline of the Japanese army in front of them.

After the Japanese reinforcements arrived, Lei Dasheng and Xu Lianzhong, in order to avoid casualties, relied on the mountains to fight a sports war with the devils.

The Japanese army wanted to continue to advance towards Xicun, but they were dragged by Lei Dasheng and Xu Lianzhong, and they could not advance at all.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, whether it was a new regiment or an independent regiment, the well-equipped and abundant ammunition exceeded their impression of the Eighth Route Army.

Having lost their absolute superiority in artillery fire, these Eighth Route Armies relied on their familiarity with the surrounding terrain and terrain to continue dragging their feet.

The devil is crying bitterly, and it is impossible to eliminate these eight ways at the moment.

The Eighth Route Army is not easy to destroy, unless they are surrounded by groups, otherwise in this deep and vast mountain, once the Eighth Route Army moves, the devils will not even be able to see the figure.

The Japanese army wanted to get rid of these eight routes, but they couldn't do it either.

The two sides clashed from time to time in this vast mountainous area.

The area of operations also gradually shifted from the Hirayama area.

Under the deliberate guidance of Xu Lianzhong, deputy commander of the new 1st Regiment, and Lei Dasheng, commander of the 4th Battalion of the Independent Regiment, the battlefield began to be divided by two teams, leading the Japanese army to gradually move to the combat area.

"This time, we will implement the tactics of encircling the point and sending reinforcements, that is, besieging the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army and the Ishii Wing, which is not easy.

In addition, it is also very difficult to send reinforcements, and it is also very difficult to eat the two brigades of the devil in one go with the troops we ambushed in the middle.

So, once the plan is underway, I suspect that the two sides will still be locked in a fierce battle.

Let's fight a war of attrition with devils, this is absolutely undesirable, we don't have absolute logistical supply, and ammunition can't fight the little devils.

After the reinforcement operation has been locked in a fierce battle, we must make tactical adjustments and move on to the next stage of the operation.

At what stage?

It is a stage of interspersing, detouring, dividing, and outflanking, taking advantage of our local superiority in forces, concentrating forces, and quickly eating up the divided units of the Japanese army.

It's like chasing a prey, we don't try to eat it in one go, we chase it, we bite it when we have the chance, or it won't be long before the prey will bleed out and fall from exhaustion, and we'll have our ultimate goal.

Minimal cost, in exchange for maximum victory. ”

This is what Kong Jie said when Xu Lianzhong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie and other cadres of the three parties discussed the tactics of the three regiments in the joint operation of the three regiments and the tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements at the headquarters of the Independent Regiment in Niukou Village.

For Xu Lianzhong and Lei Dasheng, this is the best period for tactical adjustment.

The level of communication of the Eighth Route Army was limited, and it was impossible for Kong Jie to ensure communication between the generals at all times.

Therefore, once the battle begins, it depends on the accurate judgment and excellent execution of the cadres of the Eighth Route Army like Xu Lianzhong and Lei Dasheng.

The north side of Hirayama.

Lei Dasheng led the team, across a hillside, and engaged a Japanese army on the opposite side for more than 10 minutes.

Realizing that it was time for tactical adjustment, Lei Dasheng immediately summoned several company commanders beside him and ordered:

"We can't fight a war of attrition with the little devils, even if we win such a battle, we won't be able to capture much ammunition."

"In this way, leave a company, as long as the devils on the opposite side do not attack, do not fire for the time being, just contain the Japanese troops on the opposite side, the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance.

The rest of the main force immediately detoured with me from the left flank, and we quickly interspersed the past, and cooperated with Deputy Regiment Commander Xu to quickly surround and eat the Japanese troops against the new regiment. ”

"Yes!"

At that time, at the meeting, when it came to interspersing, detouring, dividing, and outflanking, Kong Jie said:

Once the battle begins, it is necessary to have a lightning strike speed and quickly eat the troops of the encircled devils, so that the Japanese reinforcements will not have time to reinforce.

If we fail to do this, the originally perfect interspersed detour tactics may instead make our own troops entangled with the Japanese army.

……

Time passed quietly.

The boots are made of cowhide and have non-slip steel spikes at the bottom, giving them an extremely strong grip.

At this moment, more than 300 pairs of military boots are running in the mountains and forests, as if walking on the ground.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment, since they have a pair of military boots on their feet, they no longer have to worry about running in the mountains.

In the words of the soldiers, wearing such comfortable cowhide military boots, I don't feel comfortable running around the mountains twice a day.

After being equipped with such wearable and comfortable military boots, the training intensity of the soldiers of the independent regiment gradually kept up, and there was very little training discomfort due to foot reasons.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, especially the old Red Army soldiers who had experienced the Long March, did not blow their feet, and they could walk 25,000 miles barefoot, not to mention when they wore military boots.

This military boot soon became the most obvious symbol of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, every time they met a brother unit, other troops were reported to the number, and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment showed the military boots on their feet.

The brother troops on the opposite side immediately came to their senses, and sighed with envy on their faces:

It turned out to be a comrade of the independent regiment!

The soldiers in military boots interspersed the detours in the mountains and forests, and they became faster and faster.

On the other side, Xu Lianzhong, deputy commander of the new regiment, led the soldiers of the new regiment to confront a Japanese army on the south side of Pingshan.

The battle was a bit tough, except for the initial surprise attack from the back, which achieved good results.

After the devil gained a firm foothold, with excellent equipment and abundant ammunition, the situation in which the new regiment had the upper hand soon began to reverse.

With the equipment that has been gradually developed over the past half a year, the new regiment will not be easily eaten by the Japanese army.

But seeing that if this continues, sooner or later the ammunition will be exhausted by the devils.

Deputy Head Xu was a little anxious, his urgent eyes looked in the direction of the north side, he was waiting, waiting for Lei Dasheng to take action.

Time passed to the next ten minutes, and the scout fighters who were in charge of the surrounding reconnaissance quickly turned back and reported: "Report that the deputy regiment commander and the comrades of the independent regiment have begun to take a detour!" ”

"Good!" Xu Lianzhong was immediately overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Pass my order, comrades, strengthen the frontal firepower, drag this group of devils for me, attract the attention of the devils as much as possible, and buy time for the comrades of the Independent Regiment to outflank them." ”

"Yes!"

Although the two sides did not communicate, they quickly completed the deployment with tacit cooperation, and then looked down from a high-altitude perspective:

In the mountainous area on the south side of Pingshan, a Japanese squadron was occupying the hillside as a defense, and with the help of two heavy machine guns and a dozen light machine guns, a machine gun fortification that had been quickly constructed, it engaged Xu Lianzhong and his party in the new regiment.

The devil's firepower was fierce, completely blocking the new group of soldiers not far from the hillside.

Under the subsequent grenadier bombardment, although Xu Lianzhong hurriedly ordered the troops to be dispersed, the new regiment still suffered some casualties.

Similarly, from time to time, Xu Lianzhong would also order grenadiers to return fire, causing certain casualties to the Japanese troops on the hillside.

The two sides are locked in a temporary fierce battle, with each other winning and losing.

After Xu Lianzhong gave the order, the firepower of the new regiment suddenly increased, and some other fighters opened the straggler line and launched a feint.

The Japanese immediately became vigilant and intensified their firepower to counterattack.

The devil's attention was drawn to the new group.

At this time, the hundreds of soldiers of the Independent Regiment, under the leadership of the fourth battalion commander Lei Dashengda, quickly divided into two roads and outflanked the two flanks of the Japanese squadron against the new regiment.

The devils also set up a guard post on the edge of the position.

But now it's late spring, and the mountains and forests are lush with trees, and the vision is obscured.

In addition, the Japanese army was not familiar with the terrain and topography in this area, and although the detour of the independent regiment was fast, it was not vigilant.

Therefore, in the whole roundabout process of outflanking, the soldiers of the independent regiment were quick and hidden, and the Japanese troops who were fighting with the new regiment were unaware of this.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment quickly completed the outflanking of the Japanese squadron on the hillside.

"The bombing team made a detour from both sides, the 50 small guns were placed in the grenadiers of the follow-up fire to suppress the Japanese army, and the grenade team was covered by fire, within 150 meters, and was responsible for knocking out the machine gun points of the devils at any time."

Lei Dasheng gave the order.

The soldiers who reconnoitred on the front line quickly passed the news to Xu Lianzhong.

"Report to the deputy head of the regiment, the comrades of the independent regiment are ready to outflank."

Xu Lianzhong shouted: "Okay, all the artillery fire has stopped, notify it, all departments are ready, and as soon as the battle on the side of the independent regiment starts, immediately launch a full charge." ”

"Yes!"

By the twentieth minute, the battle on the south side of Hirayama had suddenly begun.

The bombing team of the independent regiment, the fighters from both sides of the position that the Japanese army did not notice, with the help of the cover of the mountains and forests, touched the Japanese fortifications within 40 meters.

The soldiers of this bomb throwing team are all good hands specially trained by Wang Gensheng and Jiang Dao, and they have trained their arms thick one by one in order to train grenade throwing.

Pull out a random fighter, and on flat ground, you can easily throw a grenade forty meters away.

For this reason, the fighters of the independent regiment gave the comrades of the bombing team the nickname - "humanoid artillery", or the kind of artillery with spontaneous consciousness.

At this moment, dozens of fighters of the bombing team showed their blades together and threw grenades from the left and right flanks towards the fortifications where the Japanese squadron was located.

If you want to say that the grenade, a simple and practical weapon of war, one of the major advantages is that it is absolutely hidden.

Especially when the fighters, with the help of the cover of the mountains and forests, suddenly threw grenades.

All the devil could see was a grenade swaying in mid-air in a strange and dangerous dance.

As for where exactly the enemy threw the grenades, it was impossible to judge for a while.

Two bombing teams on the left and right flanks, with a total of 60 fighters, each with five grenades in their hands, threw them all in less than 20 seconds.

Three hundred grenades smashed towards the devil's fortifications on the dirt slope.

The sharp-eyed devil was the first to spot these grenades that were suddenly thrown, and screamed in horror, "Enemy attack, hidden, hidden!" ”

Boom –

The grenades that rained down completely covered the first half of the Japanese earth-slope fortifications in an instant.

The sudden blow caught the devils who were all focused on launching a feint attack, and they were caught off guard.

The front fortifications of the Japanese squadron were blown up on their backs by the concentrated fire of a large number of grenades, and half of the light and heavy machine guns laid by the devils in the front were blown off the spot.

As the development continued, the sound of grenade explosions had not yet completely ended, and the sound of the charge and shouts of killing came from both flanks of the dirt slope.

Lei Dasheng led the soldiers to launch a full-scale attack on the left and right flanks, and at the same time, Xu Lianzhong also issued an order to launch a full charge from the front, and the trumpet was blown by the trumpeter.

Toot Too

The charge horn of the Eighth Route Army was by no means unfamiliar to the Japanese army, like a deadly suona, which always made the Japanese army shudder every time it sounded on the battlefield.

This is the devil's conventional perception of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army generally does not easily launch a large-scale charge, and once the charge is launched, it is when these Eight Roads think that they can directly end the battle with the help of the charge.

The loud sound of the charge horn was more than a star and a half compared to the impact of the Japanese soldiers' will to fight.

In turn, it was a great encouragement to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who launched the charge.

This is the wisdom of the Chinese, beating drums and cheering, since ancient times.

"Kill—"

In the shouts of killing surrounded on all sides, these devils who were originally the second division and the second-rate combat unit were shocked by the shock, and their hearts were as if they were dead......
