After the order of the first company commander was given, the flag soldiers quickly transmitted the message to the third company on the left flank of the hillside in the flag language.

This time, the first company and the third company were also responsible for ambushing the devil's transport troops.

After receiving the news, the commander of the third company immediately led the soldiers of the third company, with the help of the cover of the mountains and forests, to quickly touch the Japanese convoy that was taking water along the banks of the big river.

Just after the little devils filled a dozen waterwheels.

Fighting broke out on both sides suddenly.

Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

Japanese command.

When the news of the surprise attack of the transport troops by the Eighth Route Army came, the adjutant on the side slowly spoke on the operational map in front of him.

There was no worry on his face, and he even had a faint smile.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, everything is according to your plan, the Eighth Route has launched an attack on our army's water supply troops!"

"Roar!" Furukawa nodded, a confident look on his face.

"Inform the cavalry squadron, the mechanized combat squadron, and the tank squad that reinforcements can be sent over in the established order, remember, all these damn dirt roads are wiped out, and not a single one is left!"

"Hey!"

On the right bank of the river, the battle quickly escalated as the two sides exchanged fire, and it went to a fever pitch.

According to the arrangement of Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, the first and third companies were responsible for lurking near the right bank of the river and ambushing the main transportation force of the devils.

In addition, the second company was responsible for setting up an ambush in the middle of the way to block the combat units that the Japanese army might reinforce from the Huting stronghold at any time.

With the development of the New Second Regiment over the years, Zhang Dabiao, as Li Yunlong's right-hand man, and the First Battalion as the veteran battalion of the New Second Regiment, naturally expanded its scale to a certain extent.

At present, the elite of the first and third companies are exhausted, and in terms of strength, there are more than twice as many devil transport teams composed of more than 100 little devils.

The battle was again an ambush that broke out suddenly.

In Zhang Dabiao's view, once this ambush battle starts, even if it will not completely annihilate the devil's transport team in a very short period of time.

At the very least, it can quickly hit this devil transport team.

The firepower suddenly erupted, and when the battle had just begun, it seemed to be this trend.

The soldiers of the 1st and 3rd companies had long been lurking in the artillery positions and directly launched an artillery bombardment of the area where the Japanese troops were located on the right bank of the river.

The new 2nd Regiment, which is now well-equipped, is not inferior to the Japanese army in artillery equipment.

It was thought that this army, which was only pulling forty or fifty waterwheels and more soldiers in the reconnaissance field of the soldiers, would quickly rout under the fierce fire ambush.

But then, there was an abrupt scene on the battlefield:

I saw that the transport team composed of more than 100 little devils, one or twenty of which seemed to be pulling the river.

With the attack of the warriors, the waterwheel was shattered, and the river full of waterwheel splashed directly to the ground.

But except for the twenty or so waterwheels.

The rest of the waterwheels, the devils did not draw water, and were suddenly attacked by the fire of the soldiers of the first and third companies.

The devils who were originally pulling the waterwheel reacted very quickly.

They quickly opened the lid of the waterwheel, and then one by one the little devils took out a large number of hidden weapons directly inside the waterwheel:

That's a fair amount of machine guns and grenadiers.

There was also a clanging sound after the bullets of the soldiers shattered the thin wooden planks on the outside.

When the planks were broken, the warriors were all taken aback.

Good guys, it turns out that these little devils have been prepared for a long time.

Except for the dozen or so waterwheels that were loaded with water first, which were real waterwheels, the rest of the waterwheels had already been manipulated by the little devils.

At this moment, the true face was revealed, and it was actually a movable protective shield specially modified by the devil using a waterwheel.

It was a steel plate on top of the frame that the little devil used the bottom wheel of the waterwheel as the base.

At this time, after these steel plates were poured and pressed down by the little devils, they could be used as a shield for the devil machine gunner for a while to counterattack.

In addition, these little devils don't look like the devil's transport troops.

The reflexes and execution they show at this moment are no less than the field elite of the devils.

The devil infantry on the periphery quickly set up a defensive formation, deployed firepower, and covered the little devils in the rear quickly put a large number of light machine guns and grenadiers hidden in the waterwheel, and built machine gun fortifications and artillery positions on the spot.

This was followed by a fierce counteroffensive against the 1st and 3rd companies of the New 2nd Regiment.

"Damn, the little devil is already prepared!"

The commander of the third company, who was assaulting from the left flank of the hillside, couldn't help but curse.

"Company commander, we were fooled, it doesn't seem to be a devil's transport team!"

The worried voice of the second platoon commander came.

A company elder scolded: "This little devil raised by a son of a bitch is a little cunning, but now he is ready to send it."

Whether it's a trick of the little devil or not, let's talk about it.

There are more than 100 little devils, even if they are elite devils, we have to gnaw them down. ”

"Comrades, pay attention to concealment, take each squad as a separate combat unit, spread the team for me, seize the highest point, and fight me to the death!"

The commander of a company roared and gave the order.

Seeing the fighting posture of the first company, the commander of the third company did not hesitate, and immediately beckoned the soldiers to attack the little devil to death.

Not bad.

Furukawa, the old devil, is very cunning, and the transport team he deliberately sent out as bait this time is actually composed of the field elite of the Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

In addition, the waterwheel pulled is just to hide people's eyes.

The devils actually hid a lot of equipment and ammunition in the waterwheel.

Even the heavy machine guns even had two, hidden in the specially adapted watermill compartment.

Before the convoy set off, Furukawa repeatedly instructed the devil captain Hidekazuichiro who led the team this time: "You are a crucial part of the decoy plan this time.

I can almost conclude that on your way to the river to fetch water, you will be ambushed halfway by the Dirt Eight Road.

Once you encounter an ambush, remember, the strength of the Eighth Route will definitely be more than your troops, and the equipment of the Eighth Route has become more and more sophisticated over the years, you must not be careless to underestimate the enemy, and do not think that you can quickly destroy the ambush of the Eighth Road.

We should immediately use our hidden equipment to launch a fire counterattack, quickly gain a foothold, and then find a suitable terrain on the spot and hold on to it.

Wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then join forces to wipe out the ambushed Dirt Eight Road in one fell swoop! ”

"Hey, please rest assured!" Hidewa Ichiro replied solemnly.

The right bank of the river.

The cautious Devil Captain Squadron Leader Hidekazuichiro also acted according to Furukawa's instructions.

After a sudden ambush by fire from a company of one and three companies.

The devil captain quickly commanded and counterattacked.

At the same time, the rapid transfer of the main forces to the north on the right bank of the river was covered by fire.

The area where the Japanese transport team took water was on the relatively empty bank of the river, but after moving quickly to the north, there were some raised earthen bags on the right side of the riverbank, which were suitable as natural bunkers.

Hidewa Ichiro decided to camp there, build machine guns and artillery fortifications, and with the two heavy machine guns he secretly carried this time, he launched the most stable fire blockade, constantly consuming the vital forces of the earth eight routes, and persevered until the arrival of reinforcements.

And then wipe out these damn dirt roads in one fell swoop.

And just like that, with the rapid passage of time.

After paying the price of more than 30 casualties, the remaining little devils under the command of Hidekazuichiro quickly moved to the northward slope on the right bank of the river.

The Devil Machine Gunner occupied various dirt slopes, built machine gun fortifications on the spot, and launched a fire counterattack.

On the other side, seeing that the little devils were holding on to the danger, the first company commander and the third company commander did not dare to rashly launch an attack in order to avoid casualties among the troops, but continued to use cover to fight the Japanese army.

The bullets from both sides fired opposite each other in time and space on the right bank of the river, weaving a dense and brilliant net in mid-air.

The devil's dozen eight-nine grenadiers roared incessantly.

A large number of shells exploded on the fortifications where the first and third companies were stationed.

Two heavy machine guns, one on the left and one on the right, occupy the absolute high ground and fire frantically with crossfire.

The soldiers of the 1st and 3rd companies formed artillery positions behind the bunkers, corrected the shooting of Zhu Yuan, and then fired at the Japanese with a considerable number of small-caliber mortars.

All of a sudden.

What was originally an ambush battle suddenly launched by the first and third companies quickly turned into a positional battle.

Both sides suffered casualties in the exchange of fire.

The first company commander and the third company commander were full of depression, thinking that it was a smooth ambush battle, but who would have thought that they would be dragged alive by these little devils into a positional battle.

The devil actually hid a hand in advance.

The main force of the field was disguised as a transport team, and a large amount of equipment was hidden in the waterwheel.

Even during the previous attack, the little devils were obviously camouflaged on the right bank of the river, and only a small part of them were pushing more than a dozen water wheels to get water.

More devils have already prepared to fight back with the help of cover.

……

"Company commander, the little devils are prepared this time, their firepower is quite strong, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack it hard.

It's just that it's just a positional battle across the mountain, and if you want to eliminate this group of devils in a short time, I'm afraid it's impossible. ”

Looking at the Japanese fortifications that had been unable to attack for a long time, and the gradual casualties in the ranks, the cadres were also more and more anxious.

The commander of the first company roared: "Of course Lao Tzu knows the situation.

It's just that we can't withdraw now, if we withdraw like this, the little devil will definitely press up, not to mention, the second company will send reinforcements halfway, and it will be sent by the devil to send reinforcements, and the little devil in front of him will be attacked from both sides, then it will be dangerous. ”

"Company commander, what should we do now?"

"There's no way, let the soldiers stand up to it first, and never let this group of little devils leave the right bank area, let the communications squad quickly contact the command headquarters and see how the battalion commander arranges?"

"Yes!"

Temporary battalion headquarters of the 1st Battalion of the New 2nd Regiment.

After the news came quickly, Zhang Dabiao was also stunned.

Hunting geese all day long, but being pecked by geese.

This little devil in the Tiger Pavilion stronghold is really a bit capable.

When quickly discussing countermeasures, the instructor said: "Da Biao, the ambush battle of the first and third companies did not go well, and after the battle began, the little devil immediately held on to the danger, which shows that the devil has been prepared for a long time.

I think the devil reinforcements in the Huting stronghold are probably close to the ambush area of the second company now.

Are we going to keep fighting? ”

Zhang Dabiao said: "Old Wu, what is the order that our battalion received? ”

Instructor Lao Wu replied without hesitation: "The regiment headquarters ordered my first battalion to cut off the water supply line to the west of the devils, and wait for the opportunity to eat the devils who went out from the Huting stronghold!" ”

"That's right!"

Zhang Dabiao's eyes showed a terrifying momentum, "Back then, on the battlefield of Cangyunling, at that time, our old and new regiments, whether it were equipment or troops, were far inferior to our current new second regiment.

But what happened in the end?

Our regiment commander said that our new regiment is the elite!

Without saying a word, the regiment commander directly led the whole regiment to launch a counterattack on the Bantian Wing from the front, and our new regiment, as well as the independent regiment led by Commander Kong, directly fought out of the encirclement from the front, and even knocked out the headquarters of the Bantian Wing with one shot.

Fight to fame.

In that battle, if we were afraid from the beginning, how could we have achieved such a record? ”

"But this time, the enemy's strength may be very strong, there are a large number of devil elites in the Tiger Pavilion stronghold, and there are even tanks and armored vehicles!" The instructor reminded.

Zhang Dabiao did laugh out loud, "Old Wu, which time is our enemy not strong?" Which battle did we fight that wasn't tough?

If this battle is not fought because the enemy is strong and the battle is difficult, then what else do we soldiers do?

The order of the regiment headquarters is to cut off the water supply line to the west of the Huting stronghold and eliminate the combat troops outside the Huting stronghold, so we should thoroughly implement this order! ”

As Zhang Dabiao's old partner, instructor Lao Wu has never been against Zhang Dabiao in military command, especially at this critical juncture.

Lao Wu didn't hesitate anymore, he nodded: "Okay, Dabiao, then let's beat him up as a son of a bitch, and reproduce our majesty in the Battle of Cangyunling!" ”

He changed his words: "It's just that we have to pass the news to the regiment headquarters in time, we don't fight a nest battle, but we can't fight an unprepared battle."

After the news is passed, the regiment commander will definitely adjust it at any time according to the situation of the battle!

In this way, we just haven't done a good job, at least there are people who help us wipe our butts. ”

"Haha, Lao Wu, you still think thoughtfully!" Zhang Dabiao said happily.

After the two quickly reached an agreement, the news from the battalion headquarters was quickly transmitted to the second company, the first company, and the third company.

When the three company commanders received the news from the battalion headquarters, they were like a reassuring pill, and they did not hesitate to continue to fight according to the original battle plan.

Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

The old devil Furukawa had a smile on his lips, his order had been given, and the combat units of the squadron of Xiuhe on the right bank of the great river had set out.

They are cavalry units, tank squads, and mechanized combat squadrons.

In addition, according to Furukawa's order, it was divided into three battle sequences and advanced sequentially.

Furukawa's analysis of this is quite clear: "We have fought with the Eighth Route Army for many years, and the Eighth Route Army has always been thorough in its operations.

There are ambush troops, and there will always be reinforcements.

So our reinforcements were on the way to reinforce Xiuhe Squadron, and I think they would definitely encounter the blocking forces of the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, let the cavalry with more flexible mobility go first, and you can take the lead in luring out the troops of the Eighth Route Army along the way, exposing the strength of the troops of the Eighth Route Army and the configuration of firepower, so that the tank squads that have been reinforced in the future can attack randomly.

And then with a more powerful, full-fledged mechanized combat squadron.

The earth eight roads that were completely destroyed and blocked, and finally reinforced to Xiuhe's squadron. ”

The devil adjutant hurriedly patted his ass: "Your Excellency Shaozuo is wise!" ”

Furukawa said: "What we also need to watch out for is that Tubalu is playing a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain and sneak attack the stronghold.

Therefore, after the reinforcements of our army set out, they must be on guard in the east, west, north, and south directions, especially strengthen the defense, and must not allow the Tuba Road to take advantage of the weakness. ”

"Hey!"
