…… After the explosion and aftermath of the rolling thunder were completely over, the little devils who were blown up in scattered places finally got a chance to breathe, looking at the casualties of the troops, the angry devil squadron leader ordered the six 89-type grenadiers in the rear to continue to bombard the mountains and forests on the right.

During the bombardment, the grass and trees were destroyed, and the earth and rocks were splashed everywhere.

Only the shadow of the living person was missing, and after two minutes of shelling, the leader of the devil squadron looked at the still quiet mountain forest on the right and gave the order to stop the attack.

Then he sent scouts to the mountains and forests on the right to take a look, and the shadow of the ambushed Eight Roads had long been gone.

Two or three hundred meters away, the platoon commander of the puppet army led the team to pretend to be dead and crawled on the ground for a long time, until the gunfire gradually stopped, and then he quietly turned back with the team.

Standing on the dirt slope and looking down, after seeing the tragic situation of the Japanese squadron clearly, the puppet platoon commander was so frightened that his legs weakened and he almost knelt down.

Good guys, that's a lot of work.

The explosion sounded, and the platoon commander of the puppet army knew that it was the Eighth Route that had made a move.

But it only took a moment before and after, and when the puppet platoon commander turned back with the puppet army team, and then looked down, more than half of the Japanese squadron, which was originally nearly 200 people, fell to the ground at this moment.

The forty or fifty devils in the middle section were the most tragic, and they were blown up one by one and their limbs were mutilated, and they couldn't even see the babbling ones.

The forty or fifty devils in the previous paragraph are still alive at the moment, and their faces and bodies have been beaten into a local hornet's nest.

The projectile embedded in the flesh hurts the puppet soldiers.

The unit where the Japanese squadron leader was located in the later section was also scattered at the moment, so it was not embarrassed.

Looking at his puppet army platoon, the more than 20 puppet soldiers were stunned and didn't even scratch Pi'er.

When the devil squadron leader, who was full of anger, looked at the puppet platoon commander, the puppet platoon commander chuckled violently in his heart, and hurriedly trotted over.

"Platoon Commander Wang, this is the path you have seriously explored? The earth is ambushed here, are you blind? ”

"Tai-kun, I-"

"Yaga!"

The angry devil squadron leader ——, opened his bow left and right, and slapped the puppet platoon commander on the left and right faces.

The platoon commander of the puppet army was stunned, and he dared not speak out in anger.

The Devil Squadron Leader was about to continue his attack when a scout arrived and reported, "Sir, Hinamatsu Squadron is here. ”

The devil squadron leader glared at the puppet platoon commander fiercely again, and then gave up.

Soon after, the two squadrons of the devils met.

The Hinatamatsu squadron searched from the direction where the previous battle had broken out, and to the disappointment of the Devil Squadron Leader, the search force did not find the shadow of the enemy in the woods.

The two devil squadron leaders chatted for a while.

Hinamatsu expressed shock and anger at the brutality of the ambush suffered by the Japanese squadron at the moment.

Suddenly, there was gunfire and cannon fire, coming from a direction not far away.

The faces of the two devil squadron leaders changed in unison, and Hinamatsu immediately led the troops to support him.

Just as Hinamatsu left with his front feet, the sound of an even more fierce battle came from another direction.

Only then did the leader of the devil squadron realize that the troops who were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army were by no means unique.

In fact, the ambush of the platoon leader and others seems to have opened the prelude to the ambush in the entire mountainous area outside the West Village.

The Japanese units that were advancing in the search were constantly subjected to tragic ambushes.

The ambush methods used by all the ambush units of the Eighth Route Army were the same as those of a platoon commander and others.

did not seek to destroy the ambushed Japanese puppet army, but only caused as much trauma as possible to the Japanese puppet army.

Traps in the mountains and forests are everywhere, and when you step on it, the soles of your feet are directly hit by bullets and mines that hit holes, almost everywhere, although they will not immediately kill the devil soldiers, but they can torture the little devils to death.

The point is that as an infantryman, you rely on a pair of feet, and now you are marching in the mountains, once the soles of the soldiers' feet are seriously injured, they will immediately lose their mobility, not to mention, they have to drag two or three soldiers to support them, or carry them forward on stretchers.

It's okay to say that this is a small amount, but as the Japanese puppet army sweeps its forces advance, the casualties are getting bigger and bigger.

Let's talk about a Japanese squad of fifty-four people alone.

If twenty people were killed directly, no problem, the remaining thirty-four people, collected the weapons and equipment of the fallen devil soldiers, continued to move forward, and continued to fight.

Dead soldiers, don't care for the time being, and then collect the corpses.

But if it was twenty wounded, and it was incapacitated.

The wounded can immediately drag the entire infantry combat squad into an infantry health team, and carrying stretchers and supporting the wounded soldiers has become the main job.

How much more combat power can there be?

……

And so it was, until nine o'clock in the morning.

Three hours have passed in the blink of an eye, and Yoshio Shinozuka's original order was to advance to Nishimura and Zhangjiazhuang within three hours.

As a result, three full hours passed, and the nine Japanese brigades, as well as several regiments of puppet troops, did not even finish half of the mountainous area.

On the other hand, due to the appearance of more and more wounded.

In the temporary joint headquarters behind the devils, the nine Japanese captains decided to build a temporary storage center for wounded soldiers in the rear after discussion.

The wounded who are swept and advanced on the front line can be withdrawn to the storage center for centralized care, and it can also prevent the operation of the rest of the troops from being dragged down.

"Report to the chief, now the number of wounded soldiers has increased to more than 1,700 people, and the number of subsequent wounded is still increasing rapidly, and our reserves of gauze and medicine are no longer enough."

The medical staff conveyed the news to the headquarters, and the captains of the devil brigade immediately had a headache.

One said, "Three hours have passed now, and we are far from completing the order of His Excellency the Commander.

If it goes on like this, it will only get worse and worse, we can't fight like this anymore, the mountains and forests are the base camp of the Eighth Route Army, the terrain and terrain are more familiar to them than us, and they have ambushed a large number of traps in advance, we will take the initiative to meet them, and we will definitely suffer. ”

Another said: "The mountain road can no longer be walked, the Eighth Road has already done an ambush on the mountain road, I suggest that we completely disperse the troops, pull it into a sweeping net, and move forward to avoid being killed by the concentrated sneak attack of the Eighth Road, and we can expand the search area and further compress the living space of the Eighth Road." ”

Another said: "I think this method will work, let the Imperial Allied Army take the lead, as the vanguard of the alert force, our sweeping troops will follow, once the enemy situation is discovered, knock out the target with grenadier fire at any time." ”

"As for the bullet mines planted in large quantities by the Eighth Route Army, although the power of this kind of mine is not large, it is most likely to cause our soldiers to lose the ability to walk, so that some simple steel plates are fixed under the military boots, and each sweeping team sends someone to step out of a safe passage, and the team behind follows according to the footprints, which should be able to avoid the bullet mines of the Eighth Route to a certain extent."

"In addition, the artillery squads of each department will follow up at the same time, and once a concentrated number of eight roads are found, artillery support will be available at any time."

Another devil captain said: "According to the information transmitted by the front-line combat troops, there seem to be some snipers in the Eighth Route Army who specialize in beating our officers, and for this reason, the probability of our officers being killed is very high. ”

"We have to give orders to deal with this situation, with officers in command in the rear, and in covert command, trying not to show their heads."

"In addition, each department must select veterans with accurate marksmanship, equipped with sniper rifles, to serve as snipers against the enemy."

……

In the temporary joint command center, the captains of the devil brigade suggested one by one, and orders were passed out from the command headquarters one after another.

Just when the devil officers racked their brains, thinking about how to quickly break through the mountains and enter Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

From all directions in the mountains, there were suddenly bursts of fierce artillery fire.

These cannon captains are no strangers to the sound of infantry artillery and mountain artillery.

In the inexplicable shock of the devil officer, not long after, the scouts from all sides returned and reported:

"Report to the chief, the Eighth Route has mobilized artillery support, the intensity of artillery coverage is amazing, and the strike accuracy is extremely high, and the front-line combat units of our department have suffered heavy casualties."

The captain of the devil brigade questioned, "Mountain warfare, if you want to lock on the target to correct the shooting of Zhuyuan, it is the biggest problem, the Eighth Route is now the same situation as ours, the field of vision is covered by mountains, how did they carry out accurate strikes on our department?" ”

The scout said: "Sir, according to the reconnaissance of the front-line troops, the eighth route used a signal gun and communicated with the rear artillery. ”

"Nani?"

The captains of the devil brigade were stunned, and one by one they took binoculars to observe the sky above the mountains and forests, but after a while, they found that there was occasional red smoke in mid-air.

Immediately afterward, the sound of heavy artillery bombardment will extend along the location of the smoke exposure.

The devil officers who saw this scene were all shocked, not to mention that this independent regiment had a large number of artillery, and it also realized that artillery and front-line infantry fought together.

It's incredible.

Is this still a unit of the Eighth Route Army?

In the mountains and forests, the confrontation between the two sides continued, intensifying, and gradually became white-hot.

The wounded soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness and mobility are constantly being carried to the centralized storage center for wounded soldiers.

The traps in the mountains still make the little devils who are sweeping forward complain in the unguarded.

Bullet mines were blocked with military boots with iron plates, and some could be detected with mine detectors, because the casualties of bullet mines have been greatly reduced.

But there are also treacherous mines that may exist everywhere, thin lines that are almost transparent, difficult to detect with the naked eye, and explode when they stumble.

There is also a wooden box pressure thunder, a simple wooden box device, basically no metal, even if it is a devil's mine detector, it is difficult to detect, step on it slightly, as soon as it is pressed, the wooden box closes, and it directly causes an explosion.

In addition, the explosive package that uses the detonator to detonate remotely makes the devils smell even more.

They can be found under the roots, trunks, shrubs, grasses, and shallow soil.

It is a remote detonation again, and a soldier can operate from a safe distance, as long as the devils gather and suddenly detonate, the devils will be killed and injured immediately.

The point is not yet to know where the enemy is hiding.

This battle made the devils not depressed, and the large amount of military training they experienced when they were in the military academy was not useful at all.

In the face of explosives and landmines, everyone is equal.

When it was time for the handover of the handover, the soldiers of the independent regiment used the double-barreled shotguns in their hands to make the little devils suffer in close combat.

In addition, the shotgun players are all in tactical groups, and in addition to the shotgunners, there are gunners to cover the evacuation later.

The devil wanted to set up a machine gun, and directly greeted him with a grenade, fast and ruthless.

The members of the commando team are not idle, as the most elite small combat unit of the independent regiment, in the environment of mountain combat, all the members of the team are good at one as ten.

Under the leadership of Deputy Captain Ye Min, the team members who had carried out many difficult special operations missions easily used the cover of the mountains and forests to infiltrate and detour back to the rear of the Japanese sweeping troops.

He even changed his appearance halfway, changed into a devil's military uniform, disguised himself in the middle of the Japanese army, and caught some puppet soldiers by the way, and inquired about the situation of the Japanese puppet army.

Successfully infiltrated the rear of the devil and hid behind a mountain stream somewhere, Ye Min gathered the team members and said:

"Comrades, everyone has also understood the current situation, originally according to the order of the regiment headquarters, our task this time was to infiltrate the rear of the devils and take the opportunity to destroy the devils' artillery."

"But the current battle situation is better than we expected, with the cover of mountains and forests, the devil's artillery does not play much role."

"It's our artillery company, with the help of flare gun communication means, that makes the little devil cry and call his mother."

"In this case, even if we take the risk of knocking out the devil's artillery team, it won't have much effect on the whole battle."

Mu Tou said: "Deputy team, don't be so long-winded, brothers believe you, just say how to fight!" ”

Cao Zheng continued: "Yes, deputy team, you can just give the order directly." ”

The team members opened their mouths.

Ye Min smiled and said bluntly: "Then I'll say it bluntly, the artillery squad that defeated the devil is no longer worth much in my opinion, I want to take the comrades to do the big ticket, and directly knock out the command headquarters behind the devil." ”

"Deputy team, do you mean the puppet army's joint command of nine Japanese brigades?" Excitement welled up on Wood's face.

Ye Min said: "Yes, the regiment commander often said that a special operations force without ideas is not an excellent special forces.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the regiment commander can give us a big policy.

But when it comes to specific operations, we still have to adapt to the changing situation.

At the moment, we haven't made a move, we haven't been exposed, and we just happened to hear about the devil's nine brigades to form a temporary joint command.

This goal is much more valuable than taking out the devil's artillery squad. ”

As soon as they heard this, the team members expressed their positions one after another, and Mu Tou was the first to speak, "Deputy team, I don't have to say, once this beheading operation is successful, there will be no unified command of the attacking troops of all sides of the devil, even if there are officers in charge locally, it will definitely be a plate of scattered sand on the whole." ”

"What could be more valuable than a goal like this?"

Cao Zheng was concerned about another matter, "According to the puppet army, the temporary joint command of this devil is in the rear, and there are quite a few troops guarding around, so I am afraid that our beheading operation this time will be a little difficult." ”

"If there is no difficulty, is it still called special operations?" Wood is happy.

Cao Zheng also laughed.

Ye Min took in the eager expressions of the team members, and finally said: "Okay, comrades, then it's decided, the task of knocking out the devil artillery unit is temporarily canceled, and it will be turned into a decapitation operation against the temporary joint command of the Japanese army's rear." ”

"Remember, until the battle begins, be sure to stay absolutely hidden."

"Let's go!"

Ye Min led the team, and the whole team was divided into four groups in tacit understanding, and in the alternate cover, they marched covertly......
