In the rapid passage of time, the devil Shaozuo repeatedly made the communication corps get in touch with the main combat elite in the rear.

Knowing that the main elite troops were rapidly approaching in the direction of Huangya Cave, Shaozuo was excited and a little anxious at the same time.

At present, the main target of the surprise attack, the Huangyadong Arsenal, the largest of the Eighth Route Army, is close at a distance, just behind this narrow canyon passage.

Late will change.

But the devil Shaozuo also knew the cunning of the Eighth Route Army.

The terrain in this area is steep, and it is very easy to set up an ambush, if you fall into the trap of the Eighth Route Army, it will be doomed.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes in the secret lurking, this devil Shaozuo learned that the main combat elite was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped hesitating.

He ordered a reconnaissance detachment to be sent out first to approach the Celestial Canyon.

On the other side, when the devil's reconnaissance detachment sneakily appeared from the empty reconnaissance area outside the first-line sky canyon, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had been lurking on the slopes on both sides of the canyon immediately discovered the situation.

This is also a small group of Eighth Route Army scouts, probably only one or two squads of troops.

Not long after these eight-way scouts discovered the reconnaissance detachment of the devils.

The devil scouts also found the scouts of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the mountains on both sides of the canyon.

The eyes of both sides staggered over this time and space, and they seemed to be stunned.

The devil scouts who took the lead in advancing and tested whether there were traps of the Eighth Route Army along the way couldn't help but sink in their hearts, for fear that there would really be an ambush set up by the Eighth Route Army in advance here.

And the faces of those scouts of the Eighth Route Army who were on guard here seemed to have changed drastically in an instant.

As soon as the two sides were close, a skirmish soon ensued.

The devil reconnaissance detachment that took the lead in advancing was all elite, and they carried a considerable number of Type 89 grenadiers.

The devil grenadier soldiers immediately set up a battle, and after five or six grenadiers were quickly adjusted, they directly launched an artillery bombardment at the Eighth Route Army lurking on both sides of the mountain.

The equipment of the scouts of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was much more rudimentary.

There seems to be only sporadic rifle fire that barely returns fire.

The cautious devil Shaozuo held a telescope and observed the situation in the rear, and he noticed that the Eighth Route Army that was blocking with the help of mountains had very few troops, and his expression was also a little panicked.

In addition, the opponent's equipment was poor, and in the confrontation between the two sides, the side of the Eighth Route Army was almost pressed and beaten by the imperial detachment throughout the whole process.

This exchange lasted less than ten minutes.

The reconnaissance unit of the Eighth Route Army, which was completely no opponent, hastily withdrew under the fierce artillery bombardment of the Japanese reconnaissance detachment.

Shaozuo, the devil who witnessed all this, quickly analyzed.

The adjutant on the side took the lead in expressing his opinion: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, it seems that the vigilance unit of the Eighth Route Army arranged here was suddenly attacked by us, with insufficient troops and poor equipment, and was forced to evacuate.

I suggest that we immediately seize the time to attack, enter the first-line sky passage, consolidate the defensive positions on both sides of the first-line sky, prepare in advance for the arrival of the follow-up main combat forces, and consolidate the advance channel. ”

After being silent for a moment, Devil Shaozuo finally nodded.

He is also aware of the urgency of the current situation, as soon as the guns and cannons here are heard, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Yellow Cliff Cave will definitely receive the news as soon as possible.

The soldiers are fast, and after a long delay, the Eighth Route Army may have transferred their arsenal in advance.

After thinking of this, the devil Shaozuo no longer hesitated, and he immediately issued an order: "Immediately convey the news to the headquarters, our department has decided to quickly pass through the first line of heaven and launch an assault on the core part of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal."

Ask the main combat force to follow up quickly.

In addition, we conveyed to the headquarters that our department may discover the important military construction of the Eighth Route Army in Huangya Cave at any time, and request the aviation department to mobilize air firepower reinforcements at any time. ”

This is precisely the cunning of the little devil, and at present, the mobile combat unit led by the devil Shaozuo is leading the approach in the direction of Huangya Cave, in addition to the regular infantry, there are also artillery observation soldiers specially arranged by the command to accompany them.

The corresponding communication system can be used as a guide at any time to guide the devil's aviation fire to carry out fixed-point bombardment of the internal area of Huangya Cave.

After the order of the devil Shaozuo was issued, the scouts of the devil made sure that the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the canyon had all fled.

Only then did the reconnaissance detachment assign two military vehicles to take the lead in advancing through the first-line heavenly canyon to the interior of Huangya Cave amid the roar of the engine.

The rest of the main mobile forces, under the leadership of the devil Shaozuo, were hoisted more than 200 meters away in dozens of military vehicles and slowly drove in.

The next road was calm, and the process of advancing to the interior of Huangya Cave was smooth, which even made the devil Shaozuo feel a little incredible.

The operation of the vehicles did not encounter the mines that worried the Japanese most about the unknown whereabouts.

There was a dead silence along the way, and there was no attack by half of the Eighth Route Army.

But even so, out of the consistent cunning cognition of the Eighth Route Army, the devil reconnaissance detachment led by the vanguard still marched slowly.

It took nearly ten minutes for the entire mobile force to pass through the narrow passage of the canyon.

Looking back, looking at the sky that has appeared behind him, looking at the more narrow and dangerous sky.

Feeling the magic of nature in his heart, Shaozuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he was not ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, it seems that our guess is right, this surprise attack came suddenly, and the Eighth Route Army was unprepared for it, so we were able to enter the Yellow Cliff Cave so smoothly!"

"Roar!"

The devil nodded his head, and there was probably only one explanation for the current situation.

Then, the next action seems to be simpler.

This devil Shaozuo immediately ordered that a certain amount of defensive troops should be left on both sides of the canyon passage to consolidate the safety of the entire canyon passage and ensure that when the follow-up main combat troops pass through this canyon passage, they will not encounter the ambush trap launched by the Lord of the Eighth Route with the help of the terrain.

Even on the mountains on both sides of the entire narrow canyon passage, Shaozuo also sent a certain number of scout troops to use it as a vigilance and reconnaissance to ensure the smooth flow of the entire canyon passage.

At first glance, the entire canyon passage of the Yellow Cliff Cave seems to have fallen under the control of the Japanese army so easily.

When the mobile force successfully defeated and controlled the news of the first-line Sky Canyon passage, it was transmitted to the rear headquarters.

The devil officers in the command headquarters were also a little stunned.

According to the situation deduced by the staff headquarters before the start of this battle, the Japanese officers believed that at least a fierce confrontation would break out in the area where the only entrance to Huangya Cave was the first line of heaven.

One of the devil's staff officers even directly proposed: "The terrain of the entire Huangya Cave is very peculiar, and this line of Tiangu Pass is almost the only entrance, and the Eighth Route Army also took a fancy to the characteristics of this terrain and topography, so it hid the arsenal in the mountains of Huangya Cave."

Therefore, this first-line Sky Canyon passage is definitely the top priority for the defense of the Huangyadong Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army.

Maybe the Eighth Route will arrange a heavy defense here, and our army wants to enter the Yellow Cliff Cave smoothly.

I am afraid that the fierce battle of the first-line sky is unavoidable, we must do a fierce attack, break through the first-line sky canyon passage in the shortest possible time, and completely trap the Eighth Route Army in the Yellow Cliff Cave! ”

Therefore, the Japanese command took the lead in sending mobile combat units.

The original purpose of the operation was only to take the lead in launching an attack on the first-line heavenly canyon and dragging the defenders of the Eighth Route Army defending on the first-line sky.

The news coming now made the devil officers a little dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that the first-line Sky Canyon Pass, which they thought was the focus of the Eighth Route Army's defense, would be knocked down so easily?

For this reason, after learning the news, in the command headquarters, a devil staff officer even boldly proposed:

Could this be a trap deliberately set by the Eighth Route Army?

But if it's a trap, such an important line. Can God throw you a little devil so easily?

The devil officers also hesitated a little, and then felt a little humiliated.

As one of the officers said: "Since when have we been afraid of the Eighth Route Army to such an extent?

Haven't we seen less of the decay and incompetence of these Chinese armies?

Since the beginning of the war against China, we have been attacking cities and seizing land on the frontal battlefield, singing all the way, and those Chinese troops who tried to resist were all mantis arms blocking the car, and soon lost their armor and collapsed.

Could it be that we can easily defeat those incompetent Chinese troops, but still worry about whether it will be a deliberate trap set by them? ”

This......

The crowd was speechless for a moment, but what he said was true.

It is also true that in the battlefield behind enemy lines in recent years, the Japanese army has suffered too many losses and fallen too many times at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, so that it is now easily victorious, but it is questioning its authenticity.

The order from the command was quickly given.

The main force reinforcing Huangyadong will advance rapidly, and after the mobile force controls the first line of sky, it can take the lead in trying to attack the core arsenal area of the Eighth Route Army.

The purpose of the little devil is also very clear, it is to use this mobile force that takes the lead in breaking through to take the Eighth Route Army by surprise, and it is best to completely disrupt the defense of the entire Huangya Cave.

In this way, when the main combat force arrives, there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Coupled with the cooperation of aviation units, air fire reinforcements can arrive at any time.

As long as there is precise guidance from artillery scouts, it is completely possible to complete the fixed-point destruction of all important military facilities of the Eighth Route Army inside Huangya Cave.

In this way, the Huangyadong Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army was defeated in one fell swoop, and the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Base Area were just around the corner.

What a wish!

But all this soon became more and more questionable......

After successfully leading the mobile troops through the canyon passage and entering the interior of the Yellow Cliff Cave, he looked at the complex terrain of the mountains that are unique to the cave in the Yellow Cliff Cave, with the ravines and the mountain roads intertwined.

The devil who led the team was a little confused.

I'm not here to travel right now, and if I take the wrong path, I can go back, and slowly look for another path.

In case you step on the wrong path and fall into the trap of the Eighth Route Army.

Or it is staggered with the location of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal, which will be embarrassing.

At this time, the devil Shaozuo began to rejoice, glad that before the surprise attack on the Huangyadong Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, he had won over the traitor Chen Yongchun of the Eighth Route Army in advance.

He immediately called the map soldiers, and then asked which mountain road to take next, so that he could advance to the core of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal as quickly as possible.

As a result, the map soldier standing in front of the devil Shaozuo was also confused, and he couldn't say why he came after a long time.

"Yaga!"

Shaozuo angrily reprimanded that it is unforgivable that there are such undedicated guys in the team of Little Japan.

The young devil who carried the marching map with his bag on his back hurriedly explained: "Sir, it is really the map that Chen Yongchun drew for me, which is completely different from the terrain inside here. ”

Speaking of this, for fear that Shaozuo would not believe it, the little devil hurriedly unfolded the map that Chen Yongchun drew for him, and then pointed out a few mountain roads in the map.

"Sir, please see, according to the map given by Chen Yongchun, these mountain roads could originally lead to the area where the Eighth Route Army Arsenal is located.

But in the current situation, you see, these mountain roads are obviously blocked by mountains, and there is no passage at all!

I wonder if this map could have been scribbled by Chen Yongchun? ”

"Bastard, call Chen Yongchun to me immediately!"

"Hey!"

A moment later, Chen Yongchun arrived, and the paper did not catch the fire after all.

Looking at Chen Yongchun who was struggling in front of him, the devil Shaozuo was furious, opened his bow left and right, and two slap prints soon appeared on Chen Yongchun's face with two crisp sounds.

】

"Yours, dare to deceive the imperial army, work dead!"

Chen Yongchun, who was frightened, covered his face, knowing that it was the East Window incident, but in order to survive, he still tried his best to quibble:

"Taijun, it's because my map is a little wrong, but I know the road here, and I can show you the way!"

This Chen Yongchun is also completely a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

One dares to speak, the other dares to believe.

That devil Shaozuo endured the anger in his heart, and finally realized that when he entered the interior of Huangya Cave, he needed a guide who was familiar with the situation, and if he really killed this Chen Yongchun, there would be no one to lead the way.

So it's like a blind man bringing up a blind man.

Chen Yongchun took hundreds of little devils and wandered around the mountains inside the Yellow Cliff Cave......

The outer line of Huangya Cave.

The elite units of the Japanese army drawn from the 3rd, 9th, and 16th mixed brigades are rapidly advancing towards the Huangyadong area.

Naturally, the Eighth Route Army would not sit idly by, and immediately mobilized all its main combat units, including local troops and even militia units, to carry out guerrilla operations and constantly block the Japanese army by relying on a large area of guerrilla areas outside the Huangya Cave.

In addition, a number of troops of the Eighth Route Army rushed closer to the Huangyadong area in an attempt to reinforce the defense of Huangyadong.

In the eyes of the little devils, this is the war reaction that the Eighth Route Army should have.

There is no particular suspicion of anything.

In the 385th Brigade base area, the Japanese puppet army's combat units, dominated by the Japanese Third Brigade, even though some of the elite were transferred to move closer to the Huangyadong area, the remaining troops still advanced to the central area of the 385th Brigade base area, in an attempt to take the opportunity to complete the sweep of the 385th Brigade base area.

Brigade Commander Chen is like a veteran angler, continuing to show the enemy weakness, gradually luring the enemy deeper, and waiting for the best time to make a move in absolute patience......
