Not to mention the head of the Fifth Regiment, Feng.

The leaders of the other regiments were also provoked by the little devils this time.

Is it true that our base area behind enemy lines is a place where you little devils can come and leave when they want?

In the past, the equipment was poor, and when ammunition was scarce, it was forgotten.

Once the troops of the Eighth Route Army have weapons and ammunition, how can they be polite to the little devils?

The devil withdrew like this.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army, which were originally blocking the Japanese army, immediately turned into tigers and pounced.

Commander Xu of the 771st Regiment gritted his teeth and transferred out all the artillery companies directly under the regiment.

Commander Cheng of the 772nd Regiment was afraid that the little devils would run away, so he directly blew up some of the bridges that the devils retreated.

Commander Jiang of the 17th Regiment took out all the minecraft belongings stored in the regiment.

Lay mines on the road sections in several directions where the devils retreated.

Even if the devil uses sappers to clear mines without outside interference, if he wants to quit, he will never be able to do it without a little half a day's work.

Local troops and militia fighters from all over the country also rushed to help, either firing a shot or a cannon along the way, and some even used the old methods, simply rolling rocks down the high slopes on both sides of the road, setting traps on the road, and inserting sharpened branches into the traps.

It is how many means make how many means.

So, the retreating devil was like a delicious big worm.

The attacking warriors were ants, and from time to time they went up to nibble on them, which was enough to make the big insect gradually close to death.

And in the defense areas of the Iron Triangle, especially in the defense areas of the independent regiments.

The devil is more like stuck in a deep quagmire.

Kong Jie's empty city plan successfully tricked the little devil into the hinterland of the independent regiment's defense area.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment mobilized almost the whole regiment, and set up a large net on the periphery of the entire root area, completely besieging the four Japanese brigades and the two Imperial Cooperative Regiments trapped in it.

Then carry out local interspersing, detour, segmentation, outflanking, and encirclement.

This is the tactic that the fighters are best at.

The perfect roundabouts of large-scale troops are the perfect embodiment of the well-trained and extremely high execution ability of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment.

The Japanese troops who were caught in it had long wanted to withdraw, and then received an order from the headquarters, and chose to retreat without hesitation.

The devil wanted to retreat from the retreat, but he was constantly attacked by mines, mines, and side bombs along the way.

I wanted to retreat from the empty village when I came, but suddenly a large number of combat troops of the Eighth Route Army appeared from all corners of the village.

In the mountains and forests,

There are in the slopes,

In the village there are,

There are even roadside ones.

The devils and puppet armies who are caught in it are about to be driven crazy.

In the vicinity of the entire independent regiment's base area and the outlying guerrilla areas, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were haunted, as if they were everywhere.

The devils sent sappers to clear mines, and there were always snipers or gunners of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the shadows who raided with cold guns and cold artillery.

Therefore, the devil sappers often die one after another before they have time to put up a few mines.

These cunning Eighth Route Army even finished firing a shot and immediately retreated, not giving the devils a chance to return fire at all.

In order to deal with the independent regiment in a targeted manner, the four brigades advancing to the base area of the independent regiment this time also strengthened an artillery squadron, carrying more than a dozen artillery pieces.

Under Kong Jie's special arrangement, the combat tactics of the independent regiment this time were based on the combination of tunnel and tunnel tactics, guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, and sparrow warfare.

The combat units of the Eighth Route Army are extremely scattered, coupled with strong mobility and high concealment, they are all too familiar with this terrain.

Even though the Japanese army had more than a dozen artillery pieces in their hands, they were not of much use.

What the little devils didn't expect was that the dozen or so artillery pieces they carried had already become a big fat in the eyes of Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion of the Independent Regiment.

……

Zhongshan Village.

Shen Quan led the team lurking here and quietly drilled out of various tunnels in the village.

"Carry it out, be careful, and build the heavy machine gun fortifications in advance according to the predetermined plan."

"Set up these ten 60 mortars for me in advance, be careful, this Yankee's equipment is good, but the workmanship is too complicated, and the parts are slightly broken, and the impact is not small."

"This time, our second battalion went deep into the enemy's belly and was responsible for flowering in the middle, so the regiment commander lent these ten 60 mortars to our battalion, if they were damaged, I wouldn't be able to communicate with the regiment commander!"

While Shen Quan commanded, he called the signal soldiers and asked, "How far has the retreating devil gone?" ”

The communications soldier said: "Report to the battalion commander, there is news from the forward reconnaissance post that the devil is still more than two miles away from us." ”

Shen Quan nodded: "It will arrive in about ten minutes, there is not much time left for us, continue to investigate, and determine the specific direction of the devil's retreat." ”

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Shen Quan quickly gathered the company platoon commanders together, used the ground as a schematic diagram, and took a branch to draw on it and said:

"Where we are now, Zhongshan Village."

"The surrounding area is a relatively open area, and the troops retreating from the devils retreated, either passing through our village or retreating from the open areas on both sides of the village."

"And we built tunnels in advance on both sides of the village."

"Once the fire on both flanks strikes down, the little devils can't find cover in the open area on all sides, and they will definitely have to risk drilling into the village."

"Let's put all the forward troops of the devils in, so that the devils don't dare to use the rear artillery easily."

Speaking of this, Shen Quan licked his somewhat chapped lips, his eyes glowed with golden light, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he thought of what he was about to capture.

"Comrades, do you know what's so special about the little devils who have stepped back from our direction?"

The commander of the eighth company said: "Battalion commander, the devil also brought an artillery squadron!" More than a dozen artillery pieces, if this falls into the hands of our second battalion, we will send it. ”

Shen Quan clenched his fists and said, "That's right, that's it." ”

"This battalion has a battalion-affiliated machine gun company, which is also a mortar and a rapid-fire gun, to be honest, I don't envy it in my heart."

"In our independent regiment, the first battalion and the second battalion are the original veteran battalions, and when his first battalion was formed, there was my second battalion, why did he have an organic artillery company in the first battalion, but our second battalion did not have one?"

"This time it's impartial, the devil's artillery squadron hit our guns, if we don't capture these dozen guns, I'm sorry for our luck."

"As long as these dozen artillery pieces are captured, according to the rules of our regiment and the temperament of the regiment commander, even if we can't leave all the artillery in our second battalion, our machine gun company will also be lost."

"How can you be like this, in order to deal with the little devils, you have to go to the regiment commander to borrow these 60 guns?"

Shen Quan said, drawing a sketch on the ground.

"After the fire raid on both wings, the devils will definitely enter the village to seek concealment."

"Let's hide in all parts of the village in advance, hide the machine guns and mortars for me, and completely let in the vanguard of the devils."

"These ten 60 mortars are our killer weapon this time, after the battle broke out, the forward artillery scouts quickly locked the devil's artillery position as soon as possible, and knocked out the devil's artillery position for me as soon as possible."

"After knocking out the devil's artillery position, we will go all out to eliminate the devils who have entered the village, and quickly block the devil's troops outside the village...... That's the specific arrangement, do you understand everything? ”

"Yes—"

The cadres responded in unison and turned around to make their own preparations.

Time ticks by.

Almost ten minutes.

A dilapidated Japanese brigade, with a squadron of devil artillery, fled in the direction of Zhongshan Village.

The Japanese brigade was at the same level as the battalion-level combat unit of the Eighth Route Army.

Plus in front of you is a dilapidated Japanese brigade.

The independent regiment is now growing step by step, and the strength of Shen Quan's second battalion and one battalion is actually almost the same as that of the Japanese brigade.

The two sides met in front of them.

The ratio of forces is almost 1:1.

A large and empty area, with only one lonely village.

In the rear, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were still pursuing all the way.

Matsuda, the captain of the devil brigade, retreated with his team in a bit of embarrassment.

These eight-way pursuits behind them were like dogskin plasters, sticking to the back of the Imperial troops, rushing up from time to time, causing a lot of trauma to the troops.

The Matsuda brigade received another order to cover the retreat of the artillery squadron along the way during the retreat.

The artillery squadron carried a dozen guns, bulky and heavy, and the speed was not at all fast.

The car used to carry artillery when the devils came was attacked by the side bombs of the Eighth Route Army on the road, and almost all of them were blown up.

The little devils who also lacked resources were reluctant to give up these dozen artillery pieces, so they could only rely on manpower, mules, and horses stupidly to pull the artillery all the way back.

I see Zhongshan Village from afar.

It looked like there was no one at all, but when I passed by, the village was indeed empty.

But Matsuda, who had previously suffered a lot from a similar village, was hesitant.

"Most of the cunning dirt roads will have an ambush in the village, go around the village!"

Matsuda gave the order quite decisively.

As a result, the entire retreating Japanese army turned around and prepared to evacuate from the open area on the right flank of Zhongshan Village.

Then, just as he was approaching Zhongshan Village, Shen Quan's soldiers who had ambushed the tunnels on both wings in advance suddenly launched an undulating attack.

The Japanese troops were flanked on both flanks.

Under the heavy fire of the soldiers, the devil troops quickly suffered casualties.

It was empty, there was no cover, and the devils could only crawl on the ground to fight back.

The soldiers of the well-equipped independent regiment used 50 small cannons to smash round after round of artillery fire, and the devils had almost no power to parry.

The little devils naturally also have grenadiers, but because there is no cover, the Eighth Route Army on both sides has trenches and tunnels dug in advance.

The devil is at an absolute terrain disadvantage.

It didn't take long for such an exchange to happen, and the Japanese brigade suffered a lot of losses.

In a hurry, Matsuda didn't think too much, and hurriedly ordered the troops to move to Zhongshan Village, using the village's houses as fortifications, and then counterattacking.
