The little devil would never have dreamed that the stronghold turrets that were voluntarily abandoned by the Eighth Route Army of the Iron Triangle included the interior of some smaller villages.

They had obviously sent sappers to scout back and forth with mine detectors, beware of the mine traps that might be set by the Eighth Route Army.

But in the end, I was fooled.

These damn cunning dirt roads actually planted rather stealthy explosives inside these strongholds and turrets in advance.

These explosives must have been secretly bought in the stronghold early in the morning, otherwise the stronghold of the defense of the weak Jintang, with the cooperation of light and dark sentinels everywhere, and the trenches and barbed wire in all directions, would never have been touched by the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that it's too late to say anything.

After Ding Wei's order was issued, the soldiers who had already been assigned the blasting task were divided into small groups, and then secretly lurked in the large and small strongholds that they voluntarily abandoned according to the predetermined interspersed route, and concealed around the turret.

Then find the location of the detonator that has been marked a long time ago.

There is a considerable length of wire on the other end of these detonators, which may stretch to the Devil's stronghold several kilometers away.

At the end of the wires were connected to packets of explosives that could be detonated by electric currents, some buried at the bottom of the turret, some buried at the bottom of the fortifications.

Then, the warriors waited silently for their moment.

When the little devil's cavalry saw that they were about to flee back to the stronghold, they directly pressed the detonator under the order of the command team leader.

And then how exaggerated is the propagation of an electric current close to the speed of light.

Almost as soon as the soldiers pressed the detonator, the explosive packets buried in the stronghold's turret also exploded.

This is the trap that Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong left behind to deal with the little devils by using the stronghold turret that they seized from the little devils, and then took the initiative to abandon them.

And this kind of explosive package that uses wires, electric currents, and electric detonators to detonate remotely breaks through the traditional means of mine warfare, and catches the little devil off guard.

So far.

The last retreat of the devil cavalry stationed in Mongolia was also blocked.

The motorized combat units of the Eighth Route Army in the rear have quickly followed up.

There was no suspense in the ensuing battle, a cavalry unit that had lost its mobility and was completely besieged in a local area, and its combat effectiveness was not even comparable to that of conventional infantry.

The battle lasted only ten minutes, and several devil cavalry were all wiped out.

The only thing the devils could do was to pass on the communication message of all the members of the jade shatter before they were destroyed.

In the headquarters of the temporary wing of the cavalry stationed in Mongolia, the two old devil wing captains received the communication message and were frightened.

The Three-Way Cavalry only had time to send back this last communication, and there was no more message.

You can imagine what happened to them.

But how the hell do these damn dirt roads do it?

The three cavalry were destroyed at the same time!

You know, it's not a regular infantry, and even if it can't be defeated, the cavalry can at least use their mobility advantage to break through.

The two old devils realized that the situation was critical, and realized that if they continued to divide the cavalry troops and advance, they would most likely be ambushed by the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

For the sake of prudence, the devil hurriedly issued orders to all directions, so that the cavalry units advancing from all directions would gather into a team in twos and threes to enhance the strength and combat effectiveness of the individual teams.

Beware of being wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in a short period of time, and holding out on to the arrival of reinforcements.

And with the convergence of the devil's cavalry forces, the devil's eyeline all over the Iron Triangle defense area is much less.

This is the perfect opportunity for the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Iron Triangle to take the opportunity to cross the gap in the devil's sweeping forces and fight in a roundabout way.

By late afternoon.

With the bitter lesson of the destruction of the Third Route Cavalry, the devil cavalry of the Mongolian army no longer dared to be careless, and they were also quite worried in the process of continuing to advance towards the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army's base area.

Fortunately, until the sky gradually darkened, no troops were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the main force of the Mongolian army, which was following the rear of the mobile force, was also slowly advancing towards the defense area of the Iron Triangle, gradually leaving the forward base as a logistics transit point.

According to the orders of the Japanese commander, after dark, the troops of all directions would temporarily stop and set up camps to wait until after dawn tomorrow before continuing to attack the Eighth Route Army.

This is not because the Japanese army is not good at night battles, on the contrary, the devils are also good at night battles. There are even quite systematic and sophisticated night combat training subjects.

It's just that when it comes to the territory of the Eighth Route Army, it's different.

The Japanese army was very unfamiliar with the topography of the Eighth Route Army base area, especially the little devils of the Mongolian army who came down from Baotou in Datong, and it was the first time for them to enter the mountainous area here.

No matter how good they are at night fighting, if they are not familiar with the terrain, they can easily fall into the trap of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, the limited field of vision at night will greatly lose the equipment advantage and firepower advantage of the Japanese army.

The devils can only be forced to temporarily stay and rest after dark.

This is also a helpless move by the little devils to sweep the large base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and some of the large base areas of the Eighth Route Army often have great depth.

In the process of sweeping, the Japanese army even needed to walk dozens of kilometers in one go.

Therefore, such a sweep is impossible to complete in a few days.

Coupled with the logistical supplies of the Japanese army and the dry rations carried by the soldiers, such a sweep often lasted about a week.

It is also often referred to as the Weekly Sweep.

And the poor little devils of the Mongolian army, because it was the first time to deal with the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Iron Triangle.

They probably haven't heard of such a phrase.

Such a sentence is widely circulated in the Iron Triangle base area:

"When you enter the base area, you are a little devil during the day, and you belong to the Eighth Route Army at night!"

It was about nine o'clock that night.

The dim sky has completely enveloped the entire Iron Triangle base area.

The little devils who advanced all the way were temporarily stationed.

They gathered their scattered forces together as much as possible, guarding against being broken by the Eighth Route Army one by one, and at the same time, when the troops were stationed at night to rest, they cautiously spread reconnaissance and alert around the perimeter, and sent a considerable number of alert troops.

Make sure nothing goes wrong.

There are also some follow-up teams, and they simply rest in some of the nearby forward bases.

While the little devils were temporarily resting, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Iron Triangle were not idle.

Under the arrangement of Ding Wei and other commanders at all levels, the troops of each regiment in the Iron Triangle were transferred to form a special offensive force.

These attacking troops were not a few, and when they marched in a roundabout way at night, through the moonlight, the eyes of the warriors were full of excitement and excitement.

All staff are well equipped and warmly dressed.

In particular, on the left side of the steel helmet on top of the head, a pair of pointed triangular ears can be faintly seen when you look past it with the help of the moonlight.

This is a group of wolf troops in charge of the attack!

"Remember, after the offensive begins, there is only one principle: that is, there is no principle, just say hello to me to death.

Fight from where you can beat the little devils, and attack from where it is suitable for attacking.

There is only one premise, and the casualties of the troops must be guaranteed.

In addition, after the start of this offensive, I could fully anticipate that the attacking troops from all over the country would not be able to wait for the command of the command in the future.

Then let's just fight with the driver!

It's just that before that, we have to make an appointment, and the time is set for 11 o'clock tonight. That's when the attacking forces can attack.

After that, I won't be able to manage so much, and your company commanders, even platoon commanders, and squad leaders, will take responsibility for me.

Even if the attacking force is scattered, it must be a howling wolf army.

Even if there's only one wolf left, you'll have to go up and gnaw a piece of meat on the enemy's body! ”

Ding Wei's intentions are very clear.

With the help of the cover of night, the wolf troops that were attacking were completely dispersed.

These wolf troops are the elite of the various regiments in the Iron Triangle, so naturally they cannot be gathered together, but must be scattered throughout the base area.

Or even go around to the rear of the devil's troops.

Once the offensive battle starts, the little devil must feel that it seems that the main combat force of the Eighth Route Army is in all directions, making it difficult for the devil to move an inch.

To this end, Ding Wei and other neighboring regiments also communicated.

The attacking forces of this iron triangle can even fight across defense zones if they need to do so.

As for the situation that will be chaotic after the battle is completely started.

As the commander in charge of the overall situation, Ding Wei actually expected it.

If it becomes a pot of porridge, it will become a pot of porridge!

Anyway, such a situation is not unexperienced.

In the past few years, in the hands of Lao Kong and Lao Li, I don't know how many places have been messed up.

Ding Wei, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, thought of this, and his face was a little more excited.

Hit it, hit it!

The more lively the fight, the better!

After the end of this battle, our reputation of one million is confirmed!

And the next development is indeed in the direction that Ding Wei expected, but then it also greatly exceeded Ding Wei's expectations.

It was 11 o'clock sharp.

The Japanese troops stationed in various directions, advancing towards the Iron Triangle base area, suddenly encountered fierce artillery fire at night.

These attacks were not in one place, as if they were bursting out from all directions without any order or pattern.

The little devils who were awakened by the artillery fire hurriedly met the battle.

But under the cover of night, they didn't even know from which direction the enemy launched the surprise attack, nor did they know the enemy's troops.

The two old devil wings of the Mongolian army, who commanded the overall situation, originally thought that this was a regular attack by the Eighth Route Army, but it was just a bluff.

But as the sound of cannons rang out everywhere, the faces of the two old devils gradually changed.

They are no strangers to those cannon sounds.

There was the sound of the Type 92 infantry gun, and the sound of the Type 41 mountain gun.

There was even the sound of some howitzers of a comparable caliber mixed in.

The two well-informed devil wing commanders immediately realized that these were by no means the artillery of the Great Japanese Empire, and it was definitely not the artillery units of the Great Japanese Empire that fired the artillery.

At night, in order to protect the artillery units, the two old devils obviously gathered all the artillery units together as much as possible and carried out extra protection.

Then there is only one possibility, these artillery pieces are all configured by the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as this judgment came out, the two old devils couldn't sit still.

The units of the Eighth Route Army, which were well-equipped and had a considerable amount of artillery, were completely different from the units of the Eighth Route Army, which were poorly equipped and scarce in ammunition.

"Bastard, these damn dirt roads, where the hell did they get their equipment from?"

"Such an exaggerated artillery configuration, even the regular troops of our Great Japanese Empire, I am afraid they do not have!"

In the midst of the two old devils scolding and swearing.

Boom –

There were even shells that exploded not far from the command headquarters.

The devils don't even know exactly which direction the shells are coming from.

In this regard, the fighters of the Iron Triangle as an offensive force are very experienced, and the cold gun and cold cannon campaigns carried out in the early years can still come in handy during night raids.

Anyway, the soldiers don't know much about their own territory, and everyone knows exactly where the area where the devil troops are temporarily stationed.

It's all about the enemy in the open, I'm in the dark, and I can fight as much as I want.

Evacuate immediately after the sneak attack, and don't give the little devil a chance to fight back at all.

As time passed, the sporadic artillery sounds throughout the base area gradually became frequent and intense.

Feel the cold all around, looking at the long night.

The two devil co-captains realized that if they continued like this, by the time they survived this night, the team was afraid that they would suffer heavy casualties.

The two old devils no longer dared to hesitate, and although they were unwilling, they could only give the order for the whole army to retreat in desperation.

Retreat to the forward base for the time being, and wait until tomorrow dawn before making plans.

As soon as the main force of the devil retreated, the troops in front were withstanding the surprise attack of the Eighth Route Army, and the combat troops in the rear, which were rapidly withdrawing, were suddenly ambushed by the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The ambushed troops of the Eighth Route Army were well-equipped, had fierce firepower, and were exceptionally fierce in combat.

It's only been more than ten minutes, and the abrupt confrontation comes and goes quickly.

By the time the main force of the devils hurriedly came up with reinforcements, more than half of the more than 200 devils who were ambushed had already suffered casualties.

The devil officer who survived by luck was full of panic:

"Eight Roads, it is the main force of Eight Roads!"

Soon, in various other places, similar battles were held.

The little devils who were ambushed everywhere exclaimed in amazement that they were ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

I don't know when, these main forces of the Eighth Route Army have actually returned to the rear of the Japanese army.

During the confrontation between the two sides, due to the cunning of these sneak attacks of the Eighth Route Army, the casualties of the devils stationed in Mongolia continued to spread.

When some of the retreating troops finally arrived at the stronghold's turret, they were relieved by the strong fortifications of the stronghold.

Then, the sudden explosion enveloped all the devils and puppet soldiers who were nested in the stronghold......

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, something is wrong, a large number of advance strongholds in the rear of our army were attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the explosion occurred from the inside, and the defenders of the stronghold suffered heavy casualties!"

When the news came, a large number of advance bases, which were originally used as a retreat, were blasted and raided by the Eighth Route Army.

The back road was completely cut off.

The two old devils looked shocked, and then realized that they had completely fallen into the trap of the Eighth Route Army.

In desperation, the two hurriedly issued an order, and all units defended desperately, holding on to the Mongolian army still moving south, and more reinforcements from the main force.

And the battle at this time is far from over.

More and more troops of the Eighth Route Army participated in the operation.

Taking advantage of the vanguard and main force of the Mongolian army, there were also cavalry companies trapped in the area between the advance stronghold and the base area.

In the rear of the surrounding Japanese security area, there was an emptiness of troops.

The main forces of the Eighth Route Army, local army troops, and even militia units took this opportunity to rush straight to the devil's security area.

The wolf unit with wolf ears painted on the left side of the steel helmet even directly crossed the defense area of the Iron Triangle and advanced in the direction of the adjacent 385 Brigade base area.

Sporadic battles occurred from time to time throughout various areas of the Taihang Mountains.

Some are large-scale collisions, while others are small force encounters.

There are even devils' special teams, special teams, advance teams and other armed forces, and encounters broke out with the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

All of a sudden, it seemed as if the Japanese army was caught in an endless ocean of battles.

until dawn the next day.

The vanguard troops of the Mongolian army stationed in the south, who were originally moving south, thought that they could severely damage the Iron Triangle base area of the Eighth Route Army with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying.

Right now, it's like I'm stuck in a deep quagmire, struggling.

The entire Taihang area has been completely beaten into a pot of porridge......
