On a small earthen bag more than ten meters above the ground, the Eighth Route Army set up a lookout post.

Lying on this observation post, you can clearly see the movement of devils on the highway.

A platoon commander and a soldier of the reconnaissance company directly under the two new regiments were lying on this observation post at this time.

Seeing that after the devil's cavalry wing passed by, and the devil's infantry appeared behind it, as well as a large number of cars and armored vehicles, the soldier couldn't help but gasp: "Platoon commander, how many devils must be here?!" ”

"How many devils?" The platoon commander said lightly, "I'm shocked when I say it, the devils we are going to ambush this time are more than 30,000." ”

"30,000 devils!" The fighters continued to be shocked, "No wonder, the brother units of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment are here." ”

"Platoon commander, I saw two devil major generals." The warrior put down the binoculars and said.

"Where?" The platoon commander was startled and hurriedly raised his binoculars to look.

Both were lying on their stomachs in the snow, the platoon commander holding a semi-automatic sniper rifle camouflaged with strips of white cloth, and the fighter acting as his observer.

According to the direction prompted by the soldiers, the platoon commander raised his binoculars and looked, and sure enough, he saw two high-headed horses in the East, and two devil officers wearing the rank of major general.

The soldier said in a pitiful tone: "If the big sniper of Political Commissar Zhao is in my hands, I can also wear two and kill two devil major generals." ”

The two devil generals rode on their horses and soon walked directly in front of their observation posts.

Their location, about 1.5 kilometers from the road, was out of reach of the semi-automatic sniper rifles in their hands.

Political Commissar Zhao was in Niangzi Pass and used a big sniper to kill two devil officers, which became a myth and record of the Eighth Route Army, and no one has broken it so far.

Under the encouragement of Zhao Gang and the large number of training bullets provided by Boss Chen, a large number of sharpshooters emerged in the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

"You kid has a talent for shooting, but Commissar Zhao is not so easy to surpass." The platoon commander said, "Even if you give that big sniper, you kid can't have that marksmanship." ”

The warrior said: "I can't do it now, it doesn't mean that I can't do it in the future." ”

"The boy is quite ambitious." The platoon commander didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of the fighters, and said, "Give me the walkie-talkie." ”

"Yes."

The platoon commander took the walkie-talkie from the soldier's hand, then turned on the communication channel of the walkie-talkie, and called: "Regiment headquarters, regiment headquarters, call the regiment headquarters ......."

Immediately, the platoon commander reported the positions of the two devil major generals to the regiment headquarters.

……

"Report to the regimental commander, observation post nine has found two devil major generals."

After the staff department received the news, Wang Dehou immediately reported the information to Li Yunlong.

"Major General, or two?"

Li Yunlong was thrilled, and then found the location of the No. 9 observation post on the map.

According to the map, Observation Post Nine is approximately at the mouth of the large ambush position.

In other words, as soon as the two devil major generals entered the ambush position, they were discovered by the observation post of the Eighth Route Army.

The two devil major generals did not ride in a car, but rode on horseback, plus they were not with the cavalry, and in the middle of a bunch of infantry, they were easily spotted by the observation posts of the new regiment.

Xing Zhiguo said: "These two devil major generals should be Major General Ito Shinpei, the commander of the First Brigade of the First Division, and Major General Yoshio An Teng, the commander of the Second Brigade. ”

Li Yunlong nodded, there are only two major generals in the first division, who else could it be if it wasn't them?

"God, this is to make our old Li rich."

The corners of Grand Master Li's mouth curled slightly.

Take out a Major General for a chance to air support, or 4 B4 heavy howitzers.

Two devil major generals appeared at once, and these two devil major generals have already entered the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army!

The fat has reached his mouth, and now Li Yunlong only needs to roll his tongue to lick the fat into his mouth and eat it in his stomach.

In this ambush, a total of 50,000 main forces were mobilized, and even if only these two devil major generals were killed, this battle would not be lost.

"Pass my orders."

"The observation post will always report to the regimental headquarters the location of these two devil major generals."

"After the devils have entered the ambush circle, the heavy artillery battalion will take the lead in firing at the positions of the two devil major generals."

In order to kill these two devil major generals, Li Yunlong prepared to use more than 30 150-mm howitzers of the heavy artillery battalion to shell at the position of the devil major general.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Grand Master Li smiled, but his smile was a little cold:

"More than 30 150mm howitzers, put on the devil's side, can also form a heavy artillery wing, enough for these two devil major generals to drink a pot."

Wang Dehou immediately asked the operational staff officer to notify the observation posts along the way, and always reported the location of the two devil major generals.

……

An hour passed quickly.

Major General Ito Shinpei and Yoshio Anto had no idea that they had been locked by more than 30 150mm heavy guns.

Far from perceiving the danger, the two old devils felt very comfortable, looking at the endless snow, and even wanted to write a poem.

Ito Shinpei smiled, "Although the weather here is relatively cold, it is far worse than Kanwai. ”

"yes." An Teng Yinan said angrily, "I don't know how the North China Front Army and the First Army are doing, and they can't even beat a group of farmers with mud legs and dirt eight roads, first three divisions were transferred from our Kwantung Army, and then our first division was transferred into the pass, and the new Eighth Road Regiment in the northwest of Shanxi Province is so difficult to deal with?" ”

"Who knows, I heard my classmate Kazuki Yamamoto say that the firepower of the Eighth Route in the northwest of Jin is very strong, the logistics supply is sufficient, and it is normal for the First Army to not be an opponent."

Ito Shinhei Road:

"The enemy who can match the opponent of our first division should not be an ordinary person."

"Kazuki Yamamoto?" "Is that the Yamamoto Daisa who was sent to Germany to study, but devoted himself to the study of special operations and wasted the resources of the empire?" ”

Kazuki Yamamoto and Shinpei Ito were classmates at the Imperial Japanese Army University.

At that time, Yamamoto Kazuki and the special team, which were also subordinate to the 1st Division, were only in the rank of Nakasa, and formed reinforcements with the artillery units of the 1st Division to participate in the Battle of Nomenkan, but the battle ended before the battlefield was reached.

Afterward.

Kazuo Yamamoto and his special team were favored by Yoshio Shinozuka, and Yamamoto Kazuki and his special team were transferred to the First Army and also promoted to the rank of Osa.

Then there was Yoshio Shinozuka who sent Yamamoto's special team to Daxia Bay to attack the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

While the two were talking, a devil officer with a shoulder looking at the rank of Shao Zuo rode a horse and chased after him.

This devil officer wearing the rank of Shaozo is named Shinichi Ma Yuan, and he is an operational staff officer of the division and regiment headquarters.

"Ma Yuanjun." Ito Shinpei stopped and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Ma Yuanxin said with a high voice: "For the sake of the safety of the two major generals, the chief of staff, Shinno Daisa, asked me to invite you to the armored car, this is already within the scope of the northwest of Shanxi, and it is very dangerous for the two major generals to march on the road on horseback, and the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army, Major General Hirata Masa, was shot and killed by the sniper of the Eighth Route Army 1.7 kilometers away. ”

Hearing this, Yoshio Anto and Ito Shinpei's pupils shrank slightly, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a touch of surprise in each other's eyes.

Shot a major general 1.7 kilometers away?

What level of sniper is this? And what level of weapon?

……

At the same time.

It is about 7 km from the road.

On the artillery position of the heavy artillery battalion of the new regiment, 34 150-mm howitzers had already deployed their gun mounts and raised their barrels.

"Directions...... 7 km ......"

Ruler ......

"...... Left"

When the two devil major generals stopped, the artillery observers in front conveyed the shooting to the position of the heavy artillery battalion with walkie-talkies.

With the flag commander who gave the order, he suddenly waved the order flag in his hand.

The 34 150mm howitzers shook in unison, and while the wind blew and the snow splashed, the muzzles of the guns burst into orange-red fireworks.

Thirty-four high-explosive shells of 150 mm caliber soared into the sky under the impetus of the propellant, cutting a gentle arc through the sky, and finally dived and smashed in the direction of the two devil major generals.

……

Although Ito Shinpei and Yoshio Ato were not convinced by the chief of staff of the 1st Division, Ichiho Shinno.

Because their military rank is major general, and the military rank of Nino Yihuo is Dazuo, which is also the reason why they did not sit in an armored car with Xinno Yihuo.

But for the sake of their own lives, they decided to dismount and find an armored car to sit on.

Sitting in an armored car, even if there is a local sniper, and the sniper's sniper rifle firepower is strong enough to penetrate the armor of the armored car, but you have to lock on to the target, right?

After thinking about it, Ito Shinpei and Yoshio Yasuto felt that it was safer in the armored car.

At that moment, there was some strange whistling sound in the air, and the sound swept across the endless snow, far and near.

The two major generals, Ito Shinpei and Yoshio Anten, had been on the battlefield for a long time, and their faces turned pale in an instant, as professional soldiers, of course, they knew that this sound was the sound of a high-speed projectile cutting through the air.

And judging by the whistling sound, there were a lot of shells.

Ito Shinpei and Yoshio Ato couldn't help but shrink their chrysanthemums.

He was about to turn over and dismount and lie down, but it was too late, and the first round of shells had already landed on the road and its vicinity.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Amid the sound of explosions that shook the ground, the entire highway and its vicinity were filled with gunsmoke and shrapnel.

A German-style 150-mm shell from the heavy artillery battalion running group was falling on the positions of two major generals, Ito Shinpei and Yoshio Anten, turning the two devil major generals, one devil major sau, and three military horses into a pink mist.

When the smoke cleared after the first round of shells exploded, the two major generals, a major lieutenant and three military horses suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Because it was covered by artillery fire, the test firing was not carried out in advance, but the firing elements were determined by a precise method.

If you are poor, you will strike accurately, and if you are rich, you will be covered by artillery fire.

As soon as the heavy artillery battalion opened fire, dozens or hundreds of signal guns on each ambush position were fired almost simultaneously, and as strings of red signal flares rose into the air, the soldiers in ambush jumped up from the ambush position.

The infantry approached the road with their guns in hand, and the artillerymen quickly set up mortars and fired at the devils on the road in the distance.

Not long after, the shells fired from cannons of various calibers landed near the extreme of the road from different directions, and the metal projectiles with the breath of death made a terrifying sound.

The battle began.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Xing Zhiguo walked out of the cave to the top of the mountain to observe the battlefield situation.

And Wang Dehou stayed at the command center, coordinated and commanded the battlefield, and if he encountered a situation that he couldn't decide, he would use a walkie-talkie to call Li Yunlong.

The location where they were located was the highest mountain in the vicinity, dozens of meters high, and from here they could almost overlook the entire battlefield.

Everyone hurriedly raised their heads and looked into the distance.

I saw that on the seven-kilometer-long front, more than 800 artillery pieces opened fire at the same time, and the shells formed a dense orange-red trajectory like a spider's web over the snow, and the devils on the entire six or seven kilometer road and the road fell into a sea of smoke and fire.

The two guards set up a pair of artillery mirrors, and Li Yunlong bowed down to the artillery mirrors to look at the battlefield, his expression was cold and revealing a fierce killing aura.

A combat staff officer held a camera, pointed at Li Yunlong's side and face at this time, and clicked the shutter.

A picture of Grand Master Li coming to the front line to watch the battle was forever frozen.

Immediately afterwards, the operational staff officer took a camera and took a picture of Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and others.

"Haha, I want to recite a poem in this situation."

Looking at this grand fireworks show, Master Kong Da was very happy:

"Look at the big scene from afar, look at the big scene up close, the scene is really big, it's really a big scene."

"I'm grass." When Ding Wei heard this, he scolded, "Lao Kong, who taught you to write poems like this?" ”

"I think Lao Tzu's poetry is bad." Kong Jie retorted, "Then you have a song?" ”

Ding Wei said angrily: "When is it, who is still in the mood to compose poetry?" ”

"The Devil's Cavalry Wing has run up and is coming towards us." Kong Jie suddenly said, "It can't be that the devil cavalry discovered the location of our headquarters, right?" ”

"Probably not." Li Yunlong shook his head, "Pass on my order, the 1st Cavalry Battalion of the New First Regiment, the 2nd Cavalry Battalion, the Cavalry Battalion of the Independent Regiment, the Cavalry Battalion of the New Second Regiment, and the Devil Cavalry Wing." ”

The cavalry wing of the devils was also shelled, but after all, it was cavalry, and it ran much faster than the infantry, and it was quickly out of the range of shelling.

The cavalry companies of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were also expanded into cavalry battalions, but the cavalry battalions of their two regiments had only more than 300 cavalry, which did not reach the size of a cavalry regiment.

However, with the addition of the 1st Cavalry Battalion and the 2nd Cavalry Battalion, the total cavalry strength reached 2000 cavalry.

All the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army who participated in the battle used a modified semi-automatic carbine, and used the Yunlong knife, which could suppress the ghost cavalry knife, and the body of the Yunlong knife was engraved with the words of killing and exterminating the Japanese.

And the Devil Cavalry Wing only has more than 1,300 horsemen, and it has just been bombed twice.

The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army was hiding in the nearby woods, and had already received orders to attack, and at this time it was less than 3 kilometers away from the devil cavalry.

……

Datong.

Inside the headquarters of the Japanese army.

"Division Commander!"

A staff officer hurried in:

"The locust army heading to the northwest of Jin was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and the chief of staff, Shinno Daisa, asked for tactical guidance!"

"Which wing was ambushed?"

The commander of the 1st Division, Mitsuo Nakazawa, who was playing chess with the commander of the 26th Division, Kuroda Shigetoku, frowned slightly.

Small-scale ambushes and harassments were expected by Mitsuo Nakazawa.

Could it be that 3 infantry wings, 1 cavalry wing, 2 artillery wings, external processing corps and baggage corps wing, a total of 8 wings with nearly 30,000 elite locust troops, could not cope with the ambush of the Eighth Route Army?

Also asking for tactical guidance?

Shinno-kun this waste.

"It's not one wing that was ambushed, it's all the wings that were ambushed at the same time, and the enemy's fire was very fierce!"

The devil staff officer bowed his head and replied.

"Nani?" Sanfu Nakazawa suddenly got up, with a look of disbelief on his face, "All the wings have been ambushed? How is this possible? ”
