Kazuki Yamamoto fully studied and borrowed the ambush tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

In the past, when the Eighth Route Army was weak and the Japanese army was strong.

The Eighth Route Army used this tactic many times, causing heavy losses to the Japanese army.

Now times have changed, the Eighth Route Army has become stronger, while the Japanese army has stood still, or even weakened.

In order to reduce the firepower superiority of the Eighth Route Army and reduce the casualties of the Japanese army.

Kazuki Yamamoto also used the same ambush tactics that he once scoffed at.

On the way of the pursuit of the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army, there was a position that was very suitable for an ambush.

The road passes through the valley floor, with hillsides on both sides, on which Kazuki Yamamoto ambushed the forces of three infantry wings.

Once the troops of the Eighth Route Army entered the ambush circle, they would be surrounded by more than 10,000 elite Japanese soldiers.

And he prepared the fire of 3 artillery wings.

These artillery wings were not designed to shell the encircled Eighth Route Army.

Rather, it was intended to shell the reinforced Eighth Route Army, so as to gain time for the ambush troops to destroy the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army.

After eliminating the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army, they recaptured the two heights of Lion Rock and Cockscomb Mountain in one go.

A group of devil officers were full of confidence.

On the surface, Kazuki Yamamoto is also full of confidence, but he can't help but have a trace of worry in his heart:

"Although the battle plan and emergency plan are very good, the Eighth Route Army is a veteran of ambush warfare, will they be fooled?"

Kazuki Yamamoto thought about it carefully and felt that it was not a big problem.

At this time, the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army was already in pursuit, and it was difficult to stop.

Thinking of this, Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes became solid and fierce.

This battle, he is bound to win, he must win!

After a good fight, he had the opportunity to be promoted to lieutenant general, to be the commander of a division.

Kazuki Yamamoto was well aware of where the weakness of the Japanese army was.

In terms of tactical command and officer quality, most of the officers of the Japanese army graduated from the Imperial Army Academy, and there were even many officers who, like him, went to study in Europe and the United States.

In terms of fighting will and individual soldier quality, the Japanese soldiers were well-trained, had a high level of shooting, strong stabbing skills, strong execution, and a high understanding of the spirit of bushido.

But why are there repeated defeats in North China?

The reason is simple, the equipment of the Japanese army is too backward, the firepower is too weak, and the logistics supply is too small.

If the Japanese army has the same weapons and equipment and logistical supplies as the Eighth Route Army.

Kazuki Yamamoto believed that the Japanese Empire would definitely be able to defeat the Eighth Route Army, and even defeat the American Army, and fight invincible opponents all over the world.

However, although Kazuki Yamamoto knew where the shortcomings of the Japanese army were, he was so soft-spoken that he couldn't speak at all in the base camp.

If you want to have a say in the base camp and reform the army equipment, you must be promoted, at least a general.

And for an officer like him with no background, there is only one way to be promoted, and that is to win the battle, so that Tojo Hideji and Locust know and remember him fiercely.

One day, with a knife in hand, slaughter the ordnance officer dog.

After the Manchuria Incident and the Lugou Bridge Incident, most of China's land and resources had fallen into Japanese hands.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, resource-rich Southeast Asian countries were also occupied by the Japanese army.

Such a vast occupation area, such abundant resources, and cheap labor.

Why don't those decrepit military officials adjust their arms production in time and come up with better weapons and equipment for their troops?

On the contrary, it allowed the Eighth Route Army to seize the opportunity and caused heavy losses to the army, which is simply damned.

If Yamamoto Kazuki were in power, he would definitely carry out a great revolution in steel and industrial production.

At this time, Yamamoto Kazuki was finally able to understand why those young Zhuang faction officers staged a coup d'état.

If Japan continues to let those old decays take power, then the empire will have no chance of winning this war.

At this time.

Kazuki Yamamoto's goal is not only to reform the tactics of the army, but also to reform the equipment of the imperial army, and in the future, the individual weapons of the imperial soldiers must be mainly automatic firearms, and the firepower of heavy weapons must also be greatly enhanced.

"My rise will begin with today's ambush battle!"

Kazuki Yamamoto set a goal that seemed ambitious to him.

The idea was plump, but reality quickly gave Yamamoto a blow in the face.

Just when Yamamoto Kazuki was looking deep and thinking about long-term and near-term worries, a devil staff officer hurriedly ran in:

"Report to the Chief of Staff, the vanguard of the Eighth Route has stopped pursuing, and it seems that they have discovered my ambush troops!"

"Nani?" When Yamamoto Kazuki heard this, his face changed, and he stood up suddenly.

"What happened? Why didn't the eight roads chase after it?" One of the big ones grabbed the staff officer's collar and asked fiercely.

"For the time being... I don't know."

Looking at Dazuo with fierce eyes, the staff officer who reported lowered his head in fear.

In the face of the fierce and powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army had to ambush and fight more to have a chance of victory.

"Your Excellency, what now?" Kumagawa asked in a deep voice, "Did you order the ambush troops to retreat?"

"Wait!"

Yamamoto Kazuki thought about it, and then his eyes froze:

"Since the Eighth Route Army has stopped pursuing, then order the bait to turn back and attack the Eighth Route Army, I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army will not be fooled!"

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff." Koichi Ikeda, chief of staff of the 57th Division, said in a deep voice, "I am afraid that the ambush force has been exposed, and I suggest that the ambush force retreat immediately."

"Impossible!" Yamamoto Kazuki said categorically, "If the ambush force is exposed, I am afraid that the air force of the Eighth Route Army has already come to the ambush force."

"My trick is called the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy retreating and I advance, the enemy is stationed and disturbing me, and the enemy is tired and I fight."

"Nani?" Koichi Ikeda asked, "What kind of tactic is this?"

"This is a very clever guerrilla tactic of the Eighth Route Army." Yamamoto Kazuki said, "It's just that the Eighth Route Army is rarely used now, so let's carry out the order."

"Hey."

The devils suddenly bowed their heads.

……

Battlefield.

With the order of the Devil Command issued.

The devil in charge of the bait could only turn around and attack the Eighth Route Army.

"Yamamoto Kazuki, I'll take you immortal."

In charge of leading the bait was Shizuo Nakamura, who was subordinate to the 1st Brigade of the 57th Infantry Wing of the 8th Division.

At this time, this Nakamura Shizuo Shaozo was scolding Yamamoto Kazuki in his heart.

Just after a wave of firefighting with the Eighth Route Army, in the face of the concentrated fire of the tanks and armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, almost in a single face, half of his brigade suffered more than 100 casualties.

In the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, dozens of people were killed and wounded, and nearly 200 people have been killed or wounded.

Because they were ordered to flee along the highway in a pretended rout.

But the equipment of the Eighth Route Army

Armored vehicles and tanks ran faster than them.

The armored vehicles and tanks of the Eighth Route Army pursued behind, and large-caliber heavy machine guns and artillery opened fire on the side.

If the Eighth Route Army hadn't stopped pursuing, and waited for the troops of the Eighth Route Army to enter the ambush circle, it was estimated that there would not be a few people left in their half of the brigade.

"What kind of battles are you fighting?"

Nakamura Shizuo Shaozo wanted to cry without tears.

At the beginning of the year, Shizuo Nakamura also followed the large army into the northwest of Jin, but in the ice and snow, he was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.

In that ambush battle, many of Nakamura Shizuo's comrades-in-arms stayed in the northwest of Shanxi forever.

However, Shizuo Nakamura was lucky, and with dozens of younger brothers, he escaped from the weak point of the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.

At that time, Shizuo Nakamura was still a lieutenant, and he was only a squadron leader.

In the next few battles, Shizuo Nakamura followed Mitsuo Nakazawa to fight against the Eighth Route Army.

from

The Datong battlefield was produced in the northwest of Shanxi, then to the Yanggao battlefield and the Zhangjiakou battlefield, and then to the current Chengde battlefield.

Every time he fought against the Eighth Route Army, no matter how dangerous it was, Shizuo Nakamura could always get out of danger.

In a battle to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, the 1st Division attacked the base area in the northwest of Jin Province of the Eighth Route Army.

Shizuo Nakamura led half a squadron to attack a pillbox of the Eighth Route Army.

During the offensive, the fire of four or five machine guns of the Eighth Route Army formed a crossfire, coupled with mortar and heavy artillery shelling.

He was the only one left in his half of the squadron who survived, not even a piece of skin on his body.

And Nakamura Shizuo's military rank was also promoted from lieutenant to junior lieutenant, and his position was promoted from squadron leader to captain, and after replenishment, there were about a thousand junior brothers under his hands.

Shizuo Nakamura originally thought that if he became a young commander and a captain, there would be fewer opportunities to lead the troops to charge, right?

But after Kazuki Yamamoto read Shizuo Nakamura's information, he made a decision on the spot and asked Shizuo Nakamura to take half of the brigade as bait.

Because Yamamoto Kazuki felt that Shizuo Nakamura was a bit like him, they were all people with great luck, and they were people favored by Amaterasu.

But Shizuo Nakamura doesn't think so.

Co-authoring is also a sin?

Why didn't you Yaga's Yamamoto personally lead the troops as bait?

Scolding is scolding, but the order still has to be carried out.

Immediately, Nakamura Shizuo took the remaining more than 250 devils and killed the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army again.

The vanguard of the Eighth Route Army has received an order to stand by and has built a temporary defensive line.

Seeing the devil come back violently, he didn't say anything polite to the devil.

All kinds of light and heavy firepower poured towards the devil who came back.

The devil was beaten so hard that he couldn't raise his head, and as the mortars and tank guns opened fire, the devil was beaten and retreated, and more than 100 people were killed and wounded.

After Yamamoto Kazuki got the news, he ordered Shizuo Nakamura to take the other half of the brigade and continue to attack the Eighth Route Army.

These are not only Nakamura Shizuo, but even the devil soldiers scolded Yamamoto Yaga in their hearts.

After three consecutive waves of attacks and attacks, Shizuo Nakamura's 8th Brigade had already suffered more than half of the casualties.

But no matter how the devils harass and attack, the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army will not move.

……

Japanese command post.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the 8th Infantry Brigade has already suffered more than half of the casualties, and is it still attacking and attacking the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army?"

The commander of the 57th Infantry Wing of the 1st Division, Yoshio Miyauchi, walked into the headquarters, looked at Yamamoto Kazuki with a questioning expression, and asked.

In the final analysis, Yamamoto Kazuki is just a defeated general, and he has no record of serving the public.

If it weren't for the total annihilation of the First Army and the annihilation of the main force of the North China Front, how could Yamamoto Kazuki have the opportunity to become the chief of staff of the First Army?

If it was the commander of a certain division who commanded this campaign, these officers and soldiers would definitely follow orders.

But Yamamoto Kazuki is only a major general, and there are rumors in the army that Yamamoto Kazuki is a senior spy of the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as the battle situation was unfavorable, the officers and soldiers below began to be a little restless.

Kazuki Yamamoto frowned, this situation was somewhat unexpected by him.

He looked around, and keenly noticed that in addition to a few staff officers of the First Army, there were several Zhongzuo and Dazuo, and their expressions showed a little impatience.

"Since the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army is not fooled, then the Locust Army will take the initiative to attack!"

Yamamoto looked fierce and made a bold decision.

"Nani?" The faces of the devil officers changed, "Take the initiative?"

"That's right!" Yamamoto Kazuki said in a fierce tone, pointing to the position of the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army on the sand table, "The 8th Infantry Brigade continued to attack and feint, searching for the 1st Wing and the 57th Infantry Wing to outflank from the left flank, the 52nd Infantry Wing to outflank from the right flank, the 26th Independent 3rd Wing of the 26th Division to attack from the front, and the three artillery wings immediately adjusted their firing Zhu Yuan

After the infantry arrives at the designated position, the three artillery wings will immediately cover the position of the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army."

Take the initiative?

This doesn't match the battle plan that was made, right?

A group of devils, Nakasa and Dazuo, did not say anything.

"Whoever dares to delay the fighter plane will be shot immediately!" Yamamoto Kazuki snorted coldly, his sharp eyes swept over everyone, and a sharp murderous aura suddenly spread.

Kazuki Yamamoto, who was born in special forces, can still hold the field.

"Hey."

The expressions of the devil officers were grim, and they immediately bowed their heads suddenly.

……

At the same time.

The command post of the 16th Heavy Battalion of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

The communications staff officer hung up the call and immediately reported to Deputy Regiment Commander Liang: "Report, the devils have launched a fourth attack on our vanguard troops."

"The devil is addicted to giving people away?"

The chief of staff and the commissar suddenly fell into deep thought.

With weak troops and weak firepower, the devils have launched three attacks on the vanguard, and each time they attacked, they would leave behind a corpse and flee in disarray.

Deputy Regiment Commander Liang sneered and said, "The devil is learning the guerrilla tactics of our Eighth Route Army, but unfortunately he is not proficient in learning."

By this time, Deputy Regiment Commander Liang was 100% sure that there must be an ambush in front of the devils.

Yamamoto Kazuki, this devil does have some skills, and he is full of the spirit of being good at learning and taking the initiative.

Even the adaptability is very strong.

If he were to be replaced by a commander of the Eighth Route Army, he might have already been on his way.

But unfortunately, Kazuki Yamamoto was a little unlucky.

This time, Yamamoto Kazuki is facing a lieutenant general who has experienced a hundred battles and has rich experience in military command, and has made the US army and the Korean puppet army cry for his father and mother in the Korean battlefield.

"The interspersed troops have entered their designated positions."

"Air support will arrive in five minutes."

"Two battalions of heavy artillery are ready."

One by one, the news reached the headquarters, and Deputy Commander Liang nodded, entering

The time is ripe for attack.

He was about to give the order to attack, when a dense explosion sounded in front of him.

In less than half a minute, the communications staff officer reported to Deputy Regiment Commander Liang: "There are a large number of devils outflanking the vanguard troops, and the devils have dispatched about three artillery wings and are shelling the position of the vanguard troops."

Deputy Head Liang stood up suddenly:

"The devil's artillery unit has finally appeared, and ordered the full heavy battalion to press up."

"Order the counter-battery radar unit to immediately calculate the devil artillery position."

Communications Staff: "Yes!"

With the order of the commanders of both sides was issued.

The troops of both sides began to stud one after another, and began bloody battles on the battlefield for their respective countries.

On one side was a newly organized heavy composite battalion of the Eighth Route Army plus a heavy artillery battalion, as well as air support.

On the other side were 3 infantry wings of the Japanese army, plus 3 artillery wings, without air support.

In the face of the shelling of the three artillery wings of the devil, the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army was not afraid and held its position.

With the arrival of air support from the Eighth Route Army, the three artillery wings of the devil stopped firing their artillery one after another, and became hidden, fearing that they would be targeted by the fighters of the Eighth Route Army, and prepared to wait for the planes of the Eighth Route Army to leave before opening fire.

The vanguard occupied the commanding heights on both sides of the road, drove tanks and armored vehicles up, and fired wildly at the swarming devils from a high position.

The firepower superiority of the Eighth Route Army's individual weapons and tank armored vehicles was vividly displayed at this moment.

Even in the face of devils with ten times the strength, they still have a firepower advantage.

Under the dense rain of bullets, the devil fell like mowing grass.

As dense aerial bombs and napalm fell on the devil's head, the devil's first wave of attack was repulsed, leaving behind a large area of devil's corpse.

……

The Japanese front line refers to

Wave.

Jingle Bell –

The telephone rang, there was a switch at the headquarters, he looked at the phone from the rear position, and the communications staff officer was answering the call from the front position, so Yamamoto picked it up.

"What's that?"

Yamamoto asked in a deep voice.

From the sound of gunfire in front of the position, the planes of the Eighth Route Army arrived to drop bombs, and Yamamoto had already judged that the Japanese attack in front had failed.

At this time, Yamamoto was in a very unbeautiful mood.

"General."

The other party heard from the voice on the phone that it was Yamamoto who answered the phone, and hurriedly said, his tone full of panic:

"There are a large number of Eighth Route Army behind us..."

"Nani?"

The debriefing on the phone made Yamamoto's pupils explode suddenly.

Behind it is Chengde, how can there be an Eighth Route Army?

Yamamoto's first reaction was disbelief, he must have been mistaken.

But the next moment, there was a dense burst of gunfire from the rear positions, as well as various explosions, judging by the sound of gunfire and explosions, the enemy's strength was at least a thousand people.

The terrain southeast of Chengde is very complicated, there is only one road passing, and according to intelligence, there are no other paths.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army actually appeared behind the Japanese army.

Special operations, interspersed with infiltration.

At this moment, these two words suddenly came to Yamamoto's mind, the former is his forte, and the latter is the Eighth Route Army's forte.

Now, the Eighth Route Army has combined the tactics of the two and caught him off guard.

"Yaga!"

After scolding, Yamamoto ordered the rear troops to hold their positions, and Yamamoto hung up the phone.

Yamamoto felt a chill behind him, if it weren't for the fact that two squadrons were arranged in the rear position when the battle plan was being formulated, otherwise it would have been the command headquarters that would have been attacked at this time.

At this time, Yamamoto realized that he had encountered a hard stubble, and the opponent's eight-way commander was definitely a ruthless character who was as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a fox.

"General."

As soon as he hung up the phone, the communications staff officer walked over quickly with a flustered look and reported:

"The Eighth Route Army has dispatched air support, the locust attack force has suffered heavy casualties, the Eighth Route Army has pressed up, and the enemy has a large number of tanks and armored vehicles..."

Yamamoto suddenly sweated when he heard this.

Although the terrain near Chengde was not suitable for a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, it was not something that the Japanese troops armed with Type 38 rifles could compete with.

"Order, the attacking force immediately moves into Chengde!"

"Order the artillery wing, as soon as the 8th aircraft leaves, immediately carry out artillery fire to block the fire!"

"Call the headquarters immediately and ask Commander Nakazawa to send the 71st Division to answer immediately!"

Kazuki Yamamoto tightly grasped the handle of the major general's sword, and if he didn't run, he would be made dumplings.

But at this moment, a dense explosion sounded from the rear, coming from three directions.

Yamamoto's face changed, and those three positions happened to be the artillery positions of the three artillery wings.

Not surprisingly, a minute later, the communications staff officer reported to Yamamoto with an even more confused expression: "General, the three artillery wings were shelled by the enemy almost at the same time, and the losses were large, and the artillery positions were being transferred, and they could not provide artillery support to the infantry in front for the time being."

"Yaga."

When Yamamoto Kazuki heard this, he scolded fiercely:

"Immediately move towards Chengde."

At this time, the sound of guns and cannons in the rear was already close at hand, and the fire of the interspersed troops of the Eighth Route was very fierce, and the two squadrons were unable to resist.

If he doesn't run again, he will have to be loyal to the locusts!
