As the confrontation between the two sides gradually entered a white heat, the Japanese army felt more and more the artillery fire of the 8th Route Army of the 385th Brigade.

It is also more and more difficult to fight.

With the remaining elite of the three mixed brigades of the Japanese army, they gradually concentrated their forces to attack the base area of the 385th brigade.

The 385 Brigade is gradually emerging more and more main forces.

The entire base area of the 385 Brigade is like an abyss with no bottom in sight, a quagmire that cannot be touched.

No matter how many troops the Japanese army sends, it seems that they will be deeply trapped in it.

This is also the most troublesome thing for the Japanese army.

Originally, according to the old devil Ishikawa's idea, the advantage was in me at the moment, and the three mixed brigades concentrated their forces to deal with the 385 Brigade's Dirt Eight Road.

Both in terms of troops and equipment, they have the advantage.

After all, the three major mixed brigades, even if some elites were dispatched to reinforce Huangyadong, there were still nearly 15,000 elites.

And they were only facing a brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

According to the division of the brigade level of the troops, whether it is the Jiang Army, the Jin Sui Army, or the local national army.

Or the brigades corresponding to the brigade-level establishment of the Japanese army and the Chinese army.

Although the comparison of forces will not be exactly the same, they are generally not too similar.

After the Japanese army passed the brigade, it was the establishment of 22.

Generally speaking, an infantry brigade includes two infantry wings, and the strength of the entire brigade, plus baggage units, artillery units, and some combat units directly under it, is between 3,000 and 9,000 people.

Of course, this change in strength was taken into account in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and until the later period, the Japanese army gradually lacked troops and lacked follow-up, which was a great change.

At present, a brigade of the Japanese army is generally around 8,000 troops.

The Chiang army troops corresponding to the Japanese army, the Jin Sui army troops, are mostly the establishment of the three-three system.

One brigade has three infantry regiments.

A brigade is a little less powerful than a brigade of the Japanese army.

Of course, the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis, after all, like the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, a combat regiment with more than 5,000 troops in one regiment is always a minority.

As for the troops of the Eighth Route Army, the changes are great.

In the early days, a brigade with the number in the battle sequence of the national army was only two main regiments, and the strength of the army may only be 35,000 people.

But as it evolves, it's the same setup.

The specific strength of the troops is becoming more and more unsightly.

What does it mean?

It is said that a brigade is good, but a brigade of the Eighth Route Army may be a brigade on the surface, but in fact, it can even have as many as a dozen main combat regiments under its jurisdiction.

can even pull out 10,000 or 20,000 troops in one go.

It's almost catching up with a division of the Japanese army.

This is also a very important conclusion that the Japanese army has come to after fighting the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines for many years:

In fighting against the Eighth Route Army, we should never judge the strength of the opponent according to the strength of the opponent, but should judge it according to the specific strength of the troops obtained after actual reconnaissance.

In fact, not only the brigade-level establishment, but also some regiment-level combat units of the Eighth Route Army, with the continuation of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the strength of the troops under its jurisdiction will also undergo extremely exaggerated troop changes.

Take, for example, a typical independent regiment.

In the early days, there were only more than 1,000 people, and then it quickly developed to two or three thousand people, and now it has become the first independent detachment of resistance against Japan in the northwest of Shanxi, but in fact it is still a regiment-level establishment, but the number of troops under its jurisdiction is probably nearly 10,000.

What is the truth in this?

It's time for the little devils to sweep up.

We had to use about one or two brigades to deal with the independent regiments of the Eighth Route Army.

It's a shame to say it!

At present, this is probably the situation, with the 3rd, 9th, and 16th mixed brigades of the Japanese army, plus the 8th mixed brigade of the North China Public Security Army, nearly 20,000 Japanese puppet army troops gradually advanced to the base area of the 385th brigade.

At first, the 385 Brigade first sprang up two or three main combat regiments to block the attack along the way.

Although the firepower configuration has been increased, it is still within the acceptable range of the Japanese army.

However, as the Japanese puppet army continued to advance, the strength of the 386 Brigade seemed to be endless.

One main regiment, one main regiment, constantly jumping out.

When the puppet army approached the hinterland of the 385 Brigade base area, according to the statistics of the Japanese army, there were at least a dozen main forces of the Eighth Route Army that jumped out to block the attack.

How many main regiments do you have to have?

Is this a brigade or a division?

In addition, the firepower of the combat regiments of the Eighth Route Army is also rapidly increasing.

The main combat units of the Eighth Route Army in the back, even at the squad and platoon levels, were even equipped with all kinds of artillery, including some small-caliber mortars, as well as grenades that provided an advantage in close-range firepower.

After this series of offensive methods, the Japanese puppet army, which originally divided the troops into multiple routes and advanced at the same time, was also completely beaten out of temper.

The old devil Ishikawa had no choice but to give the order to merge the advancing troops into one road.

Concentrate forces on the offensive.

As a result, after the originally scattered Japanese troops were gathered, a large number of Japanese puppet army troops would gather in an area.

Some of the mountain roads in the hinterland of the 385 Brigade base area are difficult to navigate, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, and when they enter the narrow area, this large number of Japanese puppet troops even have to line up in a crowded line in order to pass quickly.

The artillery units in the rear of the Japanese army closely followed the pace of the main force, in order to guard against the sneak attack of the artillery and baggage troops by the Eighth Route Army.

The little devil pays special attention to this.

This is also the biggest reliance of the three major mixed brigades of the Japanese army at this time.

The artillery units of the three mixed brigades of the little devils still have a fairly obvious superiority in concentrated artillery fire.

Just the wing guns, infantry guns, so that the caliber of artillery, there are seventy or eighty pieces.

That is, this time to enter the base area of the Eighth Route Army to sweep, it is necessary to ensure the mobility of the troops.

Otherwise, the three mixed brigades of this devil will even attach one or two heavy artillery pieces to the battle.

The rear artillery unit served as the strongest support artillery.

The Japanese spread out a large number of scouts in advance, ready to direct the attack of rear artillery fire at any time.

Nan Tian, chief of staff of the devils, said: "With the superior artillery fire of our army as the backing, in the process of advancing at any time, if the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army is exposed, our army can destroy it as soon as possible."

In this way, the artillery offensive of the Eighth Route Army was comprehensively suppressed. ”

Until......

The gathered forces of the Japanese puppet army were like a converging turbulent stream of water, when it passed through a narrow mountain road somewhere in the hinterland of the 385th Brigade.

The soldiers of the 385th Brigade, who had been lurking here for a long time, suddenly launched the most fierce offensive means:

It was a specially built flying thunder artillery unit of the 385th Brigade.

This time, in order to deal with the little devils, coupled with the strong support of a team of arsenals, the brigade of the 385 Brigade belongs to the flying thunder artillery unit.

Just larger than 200 mm caliber, there are at least a hundred and ten doors!

But what kind of cannon is the flying thunder cannon?

In other words, it will be famous immediately.

It was an alternative explosive pack projector first invented by a detachment of arsenals, and was named the Unconscionable Cannon.

The specific production method is very simple, and the production cost is quite low in terms of the current military conditions of the Eighth Route Army.

Gasoline barrels are used as cannon barrels, explosives pack launchers.

The main body is an empty gasoline drum, which is filled with propellant, and the explosive package bundled into a disc shape is placed in it, and then the propellant is ignited, and the explosive package of 10 kilograms or even 20 kilograms can be ejected to a distance of 150-200 meters.

The caliber of this weapon is absolutely amazing - the caliber is as big as the barrel is.

The powerful blast of the huge explosive pack, that's no joke.

This completely breaks through the traditional explosive bag that can only be thrown and thrown by manpower, at most throwing a distance of ten meters, and even carrying the explosive bag and the little devil to die together.

It is equivalent to making a 10 or even 20 kilogram bag of explosives, which greatly increases the throwing distance.

At a distance of one or two hundred meters, it can even be thrown on the head of his little devil.

I lost my mother......

At this moment, the soldiers of the 385th Brigade, who were hidden in the steep slopes and woods on both sides of the mountain road, suddenly launched an ambush and attacked with flying thunder artillery, which probably means a bit like this.

I saw that on the steep slopes on both sides, nearly a hundred, at least ten kilograms of explosives were packed into the sky.

It's like an unusually fat sparrow that eats only and is a hundred and ten times larger in size, densely covering the sky.

With the help of gravity, he smashed it towards the Japanese puppet army troops on the lower mountain road.

Boom –

Nearly 100 explosive packets weighing more than 10 kilograms exploded at the same time, resulting in an earth-shattering explosion that can only be described as "amazing."

The shock wave brought by the fierce explosion immediately vented to all directions, within a radius of several hundred meters of the concentrated explosion.

It's really a man on his back.

The little devil in the center of the explosion was almost boneless, and a little farther away, it was directly swept away by the shock wave like a piece of paper.

There are also some Japanese puppet soldiers who are obviously far away, and under this violent shock wave, they are also killed instantly.

There were no wounds on his body, but he bled to death and was shocked to death.

What do you mean by not talking about martial arts?

What does it mean to have no conscience?

What is it called slaughtering the two devils of the Japanese invaders, like slaughtering chickens and dogs?

That's what we're looking for.

The flying thunder cannons hidden by the fighters were deliberately lengthened in depth, and the ambush circle they posed was also a pocket-shaped ambush circle.

Under this unconscionable bombardment, at least more than 1,000 Japanese puppet troops were shrouded in the explosion of the explosive package.

After the terrifying explosion, the shock wave was vented in all directions.

It's like a poison gas bomb dropped by a little devil on the spot, like a stormy wave spreading around, and after it spreads, only a scattered corpse is seen, lying forever on this cold land that does not belong to them.

Almost at the same time.

Somewhere in the rear of the 385 Brigade base area, on a high slope.

Commander Wang of the 769th Regiment was holding a telescope and looking at the magnificent scene of nearly 100 explosive packs exploding at the same time not far away.

Brigade Commander Chen also stood beside him, his face solemn, mixed with inexplicable excitement and shock.

"The cannons are flying!"

Since he learned that Li had begun to learn culture, Captain Wang also began to study culture, and at this moment, he actually dragged a sentence.

And then, and then there was no follow-up!

"What's next?" Brigade Commander Chen asked with a smile.

Head Wang was stunned and said, "Next?" Liu Bang didn't teach the next sentence! ”

Brigadier Chen: "............"

Seeing the brigade commander's face dark, Regiment Commander Wang hurriedly laughed and said, "Yes, yes, brigade commander, I have another sentence here!" ”

Ahem cough cough –

Saying that, he coughed lightly twice, and cleared his throat, while touching the stubble that he hadn't taken care of for a long time, he said loudly:

"Lupine scarf, talking and laughing, forcibly dusting away, hahaha——, brigade commander, I have a feeling, yes, yes, that's the feeling, Zhou Gongjin's poem is so wonderful!"

Brigade Commander Chen said happily: "You are unproductive, it was written by Su Shi!" ”

Head Wang waved his hand and laughed.

"It doesn't matter who wrote it, that's what it means anyway!"

……

How much can an oil drum weigh?

In order to facilitate the move, these unconscionable cannons were transferred in time.

When the soldiers of the arsenal produced the oil drums for firing explosive packs, they also welded some handles on both sides of the oil drums.

As soon as the two warriors lifted left and right, they immediately ran without conscience.

The large number of infantry guns and mountain artillery in the rear of the Japanese army was looking at the delay, and the soldiers knew very well that there was only one chance to make a surprise attack at the moment, so no one hesitated.

It was just a surprise attack, and after 100 explosive bags of more than 10 kilograms were projected at the same time, without waiting for the Japanese army to react, the soldiers were in groups of two, resisting oil drums and carrying explosive bags, and immediately evacuated according to the established route.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army's attack with no conscience cannon was like a spring flower, all over the mountains, and there were figures of the Eighth Route Army on the high slopes on both sides of the three or four hundred meters deep.

Wait for the Japanese army to recover from the devastating shock brought by the collective firing of 100 unconscionable cannons.

When the infantry artillery and mountain artillery behind the devil began to counterattack and bombard the high slopes on both sides.

The soldiers who used the unconscionable cannon to sneak attack the Japanese army have basically evacuated.

The devil's artillery return fire brought limited losses to the soldiers.

In particular, the oil drums used in this conscienceless cannon are low in cost for the current military conditions of the Eighth Route Army.

If the devil's artillery attack came too quickly, according to the order given by the commanders of the Eighth Route Army early in the morning.

The soldiers simply threw the conscienceless cannon down the hill, rolled down towards the little devil, and then ran away.

People are alive, and that's the most important thing.

The officers and men of the 385 Brigade have already passed the tragic period of needing to exchange their lives for weapons.

There weren't many soldiers in charge of using the unconscionable cannon to raid the little devils, and they immediately scattered and fled, with the help of the dense forest as a cover, no matter how powerful the artillery fire behind the devils was, it was impossible to wipe them all out.

After the scouts of the devils in front of them came with the news that the cunning Tubalu had all fled.

The bombardment of artillery fire behind the devil gradually stopped.

By this wave of sudden ambushes of the Eighth Route Army, the specific number of casualties was transmitted to the brigade headquarters in the rear.

"Sir, after preliminary statistics, in the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army using explosives packs, there were 541 warriors of the Jade Crushing Empire and 245 warriors of the Imperial Cooperative Army. Another 731 people were wounded......"

Such casualties are only a few minutes before and after.

"Bastard!"

Ishikawa, who had heard the report, couldn't hold back any longer, and was furious, losing all his demeanor as a general of the Japanese army......
