Chapter 476, The Second Battle of Shandong 4.

Crunch, crunch, the devil tank began to climb, and the tank gunners and machine gunners were highly nervous, staring intently at the lookout glasses, for fear that an anti-tank gun would suddenly appear and blow them up with one shot. Inagaki Yoto and other little devils are the same, they are so nervous, the hard and bloody battle they encountered yesterday is still vivid, and they don't want to be sent back to China in a small box.

"Nani, what's going on? So far, there hasn't been any movement? "It can't be some kind of conspiracy, right?" "yes, that's not normal!"

However, what made these little devils suspicious was that they had advanced several kilometers from the formation, and even when they reached the forward position of less than 300 meters, the devils still could not see any movement on the Huaxia position, and there was not even a single figure in their field of vision. This attack went unexpectedly smoothly and did not encounter any attacks or obstructions, but the more this happened, the more frightened and suspicious the devil attacking troops became.

Because it stands to reason that even if there was saturation bombing before, it would never be possible to kill all the Chinese defenders who were ambushed in the fortifications. What's more, after yesterday's fierce fighting, the devils know very well that the weapons and equipment of the third anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment are not weaker than their own, and these battles on the eight roads are extremely fierce and tenacious, and they will never easily give up their positions and run away!

"Yaga! Cheer up, don't be cranky, just shoot if you find anything out of the ordinary! Keep on the rush! Inagaki Yangdou roared, although he was also extremely uneasy in his heart, but before receiving the order to retreat, they could only advance but not retreat, even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of them.

"Hello!" The eldest brother in the lead gave an order, and all the devil soldiers responded loudly, and hurriedly suppressed the fear and uneasiness in their hearts with a solemn expression, and followed the tank with wide eyes and concentration. "Nani? Could it be that they had really retreated ahead of schedule? ”

Inagaki Yoto took the Mauser pistol and followed the tank step by step to the small high ground, only then did he find that the entire defensive position on the top of the hill was empty, the original fortifications had already been blown up, and the trenches were still burning with raging flames.

Even the strongest reinforced concrete main fort was blown to pieces, littered with debris and exposed steel bar, and the entire position was completely defenceless. "Everyone, pay attention, search carefully to see if there are any hidden enemies or traps!" After inspecting the position of the Guangong Temple, and then standing on a high place and carefully observing Wang Bian Zhuang who was still burning in front of him for a while, Inagaki Yangdou was basically able to determine that the third detachment had withdrawn from the position overnight last night.

After confirming it, Inagaki Yangdou immediately said to a herald beside him: "Immediately wave the signal flag to the wing captain and tell the wing captain that we have captured the outer position of Tuba Road, and it is observed that Wang Bian Zhuang is also empty...... "Nani? Yo Xi, the Eighth Road is the Eighth Road, and it will never change the nature of guerrilla warfare, it is really a fragile rabble! ”

After receiving the information, Ryosuke Fujimuro was stunned for a moment, and then laughed arrogantly, originally thought that he would have to work hard today, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and he captured the position that he hadn't captured yesterday without firing a shot. After a pause, Ryosuke Fujimuro was extremely happy and ordered to a devil captain standing beside him:

"Zangyuanjun, you immediately lead the second brigade of imperial soldiers to occupy the two high grounds, and then further advance towards Wang Bian Zhuang! Remember, don't be rash and be vigilant! "Hello!" Kurahara paused heavily, then drew his command knife and shouted: "The second brigade is all there, assault!" "Hello!"

Nearly a thousand devil soldiers babbled and screamed, and soon the soldiers quickly attacked the small heights on both sides of the road in two directions. Half an hour later, Zangyuan Sheng led the devil soldiers to the position of Guan Gong Temple. "Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Seeing that the top boss was coming, Inagaki Yoto hurriedly stepped forward to salute and explain the current situation. "Inagaki-kun, you guys did a great job! Great credit! ”

Zang Yuan Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Next, I have to work hard for you to go to the village in front of you to search, pay attention to safety, and don't let the earth eight roads take advantage of the loopholes!" ”

Zangyuan Katsu observed the surrounding terrain and conditions, and found that there were many crop fields around Wang Bian Village, especially large corn fields, which were easy to hide troops and artillery. So he didn't dare to send too many troops into Zhuang to search, and he didn't dare to send out the precious tank and combat vehicles, but directly sent a squadron of cannon fodder.

"Hello!" Knowing that he was being used as cannon fodder again, Inagaki Yangdou didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, and after a heavy pause, he led a squadron of devil soldiers along the gentle slope to advance towards the smoke-filled Wang Bian Village. "These dog-day little devils are finally here, but this is too careful, right? After waiting for an hour or two, a squadron of devil soldiers was sent into the village to search. ”

At this time, Ma Xiaoyun was hiding in a cornfield 2 kilometers northeast of Wang Bian Zhuang, where the terrain was slightly higher than Wang Bian Zhuang, and he could clearly see the movement of the devil in front of him. Xu Dong, who was holding a telescope to observe the enemy's situation, answered with a smile: "It's not because the little devil was hurt by you, even if we set up an empty city plan, they still don't dare to swagger the whole army forward." ”

"Hehe, where is it, in the end, the little devil is still afraid of you, otherwise as early as last year, when Yutai County was captured, the devil would have come to the door." Ma Xiaoyun smiled, slapped his ass quietly, and then said, "Captain Xu, when will we start acting?" Don't wait a moment these little devils are retracting again! ”

Xu Dong smiled: "Don't worry, this little devil is not enough for us to stuff our teeth!" We have to put a long line to catch big fish, and finally have a chance to fight, if we can't eat one or two thousand devil soldiers at a time, it will be too much of a loss! "Ahem, okay! Everything listens to Captain Xu! ”

Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no comparison, Ma Xiaoyun immediately panicked when he heard this, and he relied on the well-built strong fortifications to fight hard for a day yesterday before he barely killed and injured 1,000 Japanese soldiers. If the encirclement and annihilation battle is carried out in an unobstructed field, I am afraid that even if the third detachment dispatches three main regiments, it will not want to eat a large group of devil soldiers in one go.

And now, others are fighting in the field, and they want to eat with their bellies open, and they are completely treating the little devil as a dish. Although there is a huge contrast gap in this, Ma Xiaoyun did not have the slightest doubt about Xu Dong's ability, because just the hidden heavy artillery troops, tank troops and helicopter brigades were enough to make the little devil drink a pot!

"All on high alert and ready to fight!" As he approached Wang Bian Zhuang, Inagaki Yangdou's expression became more and more solemn, and his right hand holding the Mauser pistol continued to sweat, as if he was holding a piece of melting ice, and the water droplets kept dripping down.

The standard pistol of the Devil Unit is the Taisho 14th style pistol, commonly known as the box gun. This pistol uses a southern-style 8mm bullet, which is extremely accurate in pointing and shooting, and the bullet damage is extremely large, basically the same as that of dumm, and unprotected people are hit, usually either dead or maimed.

It's just that the penetration of this bullet is very weak, and it can be blocked with 5 layers of quilts, and the penetration is very poor.

It is precisely because of the shortcomings of the box gun, such as its low power, easy jamming, and easy to misfire, that the devil officers are very disgusted with this pistol, and often like to use other pistols when performing combat missions. Crunch, crunch, and have been advancing forward for more than ten or twenty minutes, Inagaki Yangdou finally came to the forward position outside Wang Bian Zhuang.

At a glance, I saw that several trenches in front of me had been blown to pieces, collapsing and denting one after another, and it seemed that there was no breath of life or danger. However, Inagaki Yangdou didn't dare to be careless, and waved his hand at the three devil soldiers beside him: "You guys go over and have a look first!" "Hello!"

Those three devil soldiers also did not dare to disobey their orders, even if they were very likely to become the first cannon fodder to die. "Get down on your stomach and get ready to fight!" "Hello!"

The rest of the devil soldiers hurriedly spread out of formation and lay on the ground, aiming their guns at the front, as long as there was any abnormality, they would not hesitate to shoot. The three little devils walked over step by step with their guns in hand, searching all the way forward with extreme caution, until they crossed three trenches in a row, and then waved to Inagaki Yoto. "Yo Xi! Keep moving! ”

Seeing that there was no danger, Inagaki Yoto led the troops to continue the search and advance, and after a while, Inagaki Yoto and other devils came to the last trench at the entrance of the village

After an hour or two of burning, the fire in Wang Bian Zhuang had weakened a lot, because everything that could be burned was basically burned out, and only the ruins and ruins were still smoking flames and smoke. However, in the high temperature of midsummer, Wang Bian Zhuang is still like a flaming mountain, and the temperature inside is extremely high, and you can even feel the heat wave hitting people from afar.

"Yoshikawa-kun, Shiraishi-kun, you lead a team into the village to search, and if you find any situation, immediately fire a warning shot! We will come to support as soon as possible. ”

Inagaki Yangdou frowned slightly, and carefully observed for a while, it stands to reason that there should not be living people in such a high-temperature fire field, and even if there is, it will be some fish that have slipped through the net at most. However, Inagaki Yodo, who has many experiences in birth and death, did not have the slightest carelessness, and did not dare to send all his troops at one time, Arthur, and immediately sent two squads of devil soldiers into the village to search, while he himself took more than eighty little devils into the trench for vigilance and defense.

"Hello!" The leader of the two devil squads ordered him to take a small team of devil soldiers and start searching the village in two ways. "Yo Xi, the Imperial Air Force is too powerful! With a bombing of this magnitude, even if the people inside are not killed, they will have to be burned to ashes! "That's right, these damn dirt roads should have been blown up like this yesterday!" "yes, if that's the case, my brother would still be alive and well!"

Under the billowing heat, scorched debris and ashes on the ground, the devil soldiers were able to be cautious and maintain their formation at first. But after searching for a while, the devils did not find any danger, and saw only flames and ashes, and naturally began to relax after a long time.

"If you don't want to die, shut up!" The two devil squad leaders were both experienced veterans, and even though they could already confirm that there were indeed no living people in Wang Bian Zhuang, they still meticulously carried out the search mission.

"Yo Xi!" The two squads of devil soldiers returned safely, and Inagaki Yoto finally put his mind at ease, and immediately ordered the signal corps to give the wing commander a flag. "It seems that it is indeed too much to worry about, how can such a small village withstand the saturation bombing of the Great Japanese Empire! However, the surrounding threats are still there, and they must all be discovered! ”

Seeing that Wang Bian Zhuang was no different, Fujimuro Ryosuke breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was still not completely reassured, and after a moment of silence, he summoned a signal soldier and said: "Your immediately go to the Inagaki squadron, let them disperse and search, with Wang Bian Zhuang two kilometers around the boundary, be sure to make sure that there is no ambush by the Chinese army around!" ”

"Hello!" The devil signal soldier hurriedly took the order and left. "Why are these little devils so careful, and at this time, they even want to expand the scope of their search! Dog's day, when did you become so daring? ”

After waiting for more than two hours, I didn't see the devils start a big march, but instead saw the devil soldiers scattering out into the crops, woods, and grasslands outside the village in teams to continue searching.

Ma Xiaoyun couldn't help but start to get anxious again, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Xu Dong and said, "Captain Xu, do we still have to retreat?" Xu Dong nodded after a little hesitation and said, "Well, if we retreat for another kilometer, the little devil shouldn't have much patience!"

The little devil is indeed much more cautious and cautious than before, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, since we have spent so much effort, we can't fall short! "This situation is actually still expected by Xu Dong, so the main force is four kilometers away, and only a small number of troops are placed about two kilometers, and it is not difficult to temporarily retreat at this time." All right! Slow work makes good work! ”

Ma Xiaoyun nodded, the main force of the little devils did not enter the ambush circle, it was really not interesting to just eat the two hundred devil soldiers, not to mention that the devil army also set up artillery positions on two small heights. So at this time, we can only compare who is patient and who can calm down.

"Nani? Tubalu gave up the position of Wang Bian Zhuang and retreated on the whole front? How does it feel a little wrong! At this time, shouldn't it be a trap set by joint operations? An hour later, Tada Jun received a telegram from the front line, his brows couldn't help frowning, and then he turned his head to look at the old devils and said, "Do you think there is a problem here?" ”

According to the original plan, Tada Jun was ready for air combat and anti-encirclement and annihilation warfare, but at this time, he found that after working hard for a long time, he actually pounced, and he immediately felt confused.

Terauchi Shouichi opened his mouth and said: "I think this situation is normal, the Tubalu and the Shandong Army have always been distinct, the two are not subordinate to each other, and their respective territorial consciousness is very strong.

So it's not strange that they eat dog at this time, and fighting in this area, we have air supremacy, and according to Jiang Qiang's character, most of them will not take out armored troops to take risks! Kobayashi Asaburo nodded and agreed: "There is indeed this possibility, these two forces have always been well water does not interfere with river water, and now it is not strange that they are each sweeping the snow in front of the door when the catastrophe is coming."

According to our experience in dealing with Jiang Qiang for many years, this is a master who is never willing to suffer, and he has a strong sense of warlordism, just like Han Fuyu in the past, who mainly focused on defense, as long as it does not hurt his fundamental interests, he will not take the initiative to fight hard.

Terauchi-kun also said just now that the Great Japanese Empire has air supremacy in the central Lu region, and Jiang Qiang really has no reason to fight a decisive battle with Great Japan in an unfavorable place for the sake of irrelevant forces! Okabe Naosaburo nodded and said, "Your Excellency Commander, this is not all a bad thing for the Japanese Empire, at least don't worry too much about Yang Fan's excessive ambition and will expand the scale of the war indefinitely!" "Yo Xi, if that's the case, our battle plan will have to be adjusted." Tada Jun raised his eyebrows and walked to the military sand table to study.

At this time, Kawabe Shozo came over and said: "I'm afraid things are not so simple, when Jiang Qiang was just a small director of the Tianjin Police Department, he had the courage to lead the troops on an expedition of thousands of miles to fight the enemy of the Japanese Empire.

Moreover, the Dezhou Defense Battle and the Taierzhuang Battlefield in the Northern Hebei Battlefield had caused serious casualties to the Japanese Empire, how could such an enemy have no ambition and ambition, and perhaps they were planning a big conspiracy. ”

Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the well rope, not to mention that Hebian Zhengsan also planted two heels in Jiang Qiang's hands, and even lost his head when he almost lost it. Terauchi Shouichi smiled and said: "Hebian-kun, Jiang Qiang is indeed an extremely powerful opponent, but there is no need to mythologize him like this, right?" In the face of absolute strength, all small tricks are in vain.

As long as we are cautious and precautionary, even if they have any tricks and calculations, what can they do? "Shw! What the temple said, in the face of absolute strength, all tricks are in vain! Hearing this, Tada Jun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that he had jumped out of a strange circle of inertial thinking, and laughed with his brows stretched:

"There is an old saying in Huaxia that is good, that is, being smart is mistaken by being smart, since Yang Fan likes to be clever and take advantage of small advantages, then let's set an overall situation for him openly!" After speaking, Tada Jun excitedly gestured on the sand table, and carefully told the bold ideas that had just emerged to the old devils.

"Shuffle!" "Your Excellency the Commander is wise!" "Yoxi, now you can let go of your hands and feet!" "The Imperial Japanese Army will win!"

Speaking of the wonders, old devils such as Shouichi Terauchi and Asaburo Kobayashi nodded their heads in praise, and then began to offer suggestions to improve the plan.

Wang Bian Zhuang. "Dog-day little devil, what the hell is going on? It's been a long time, and it's been restored! Are they going to end there? "yes, what the hell are these little devils up to? It was aggressive before, as if it was going to eat us in one go, but now it's like a girl! ”

"Could it be that the intelligence leaked, and the little devil knew that the Shandong army was stationed in our defense area?" After waiting for a few more hours, seeing that it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, but the devil still did not move, Ma Xiaoyun and the others couldn't help but get anxious.

It was not easy to unite with the Shandong army, they wanted to fight a beautiful battle and avenge the comrades-in-arms who died heroically yesterday, but now they found that the devil did not give a chance at all. "It seems that we still underestimate the caution and patience of the little devils, and most of them are going to suffer in vain today!"

Xu Dong scratched the mosquito-bitten bag on the back of his neck with his hand to relieve the unbearable itching. Although they hid in a small forest, it was still very hot under the scorching sun, especially the mosquitoes that followed one after another, and people were covered in red envelopes.

At this time, Ma Xiaoyun said: "Since this is the case, then we might as well kill them in one go, and it is better to eat these little devils in front of us than to empty the bamboo basket!" ”

Xu Dong shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, there are more than 100,000 devil soldiers gathered on the opposite side of the Yellow River and around Jinan Mansion alone, and they are not here for exercises and tourism." Therefore, there are many opportunities to eat meat in large pieces, and what we need to do now is to put a long line to catch big fish! ……”

However, before Xu Dong finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound in the distance. Xu Dong and the others immediately looked up and saw a dense black spot in the sky in the distance. "Ah, the devil plane is here again?" "You can't find us, will you?" "It's over, if that's the case, we won't have a place to hide!" "Quick, everyone do a good job of hiding!"

This scene frightened everyone, such a huge group of bombers, if there was an indiscriminate bombardment around Wang Bian Zhuang, it would be really fun!

However, at this time, everyone did not dare to move, because the more they ran, the faster they died, and they could only scatter and hide on the ground and resign themselves to fate. Buzzing, soon the group flew overhead, but to Xu Dong's great relief, these devil planes did not come at them, and flew straight forward without the slightest stop.

"It's not good, these dogs are going to Jinxiang County!" Ma Xiaoyun just breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly thought of a more serious problem, and hurriedly shouted at the communication soldiers beside him: "Quick, don't be stupid, immediately send a telegram to Jinxiang County, and let them hide in the air-raid shelter immediately!" "Yes!"

The signal soldier's body was shocked, and he hurriedly put on his headphones and turned on the radio. "Report! We found a large number of devil planes flying in our direction from the direction of Jinan. "What? The devil plane is coming soon? "Sound the air raid siren!"

In fact, there was no need for Ma Xiaoyun and others to worry about it, the radar stations set up in Zichuan County and Qidong County had already discovered the situation, and not only sounded the air defense alarm in their own counties one after another, but also disseminated information to the surrounding county towns through telephone calls. Ma Yaonan and others immediately notified the troops to enter the air-raid shelters and air-raid bunkers, while the Huben military defense areas in Qidong County and Zichuan County were evacuating the military and civilians, and the air defense positions in various places entered a combat state.

Tweeting, it didn't take long for the group of devil bombers to come to the sky over Changshan County, and then one by one they exploded and fell from the sky with a sharp scream! The bomb exploded as soon as it landed, and the violent explosion instantly collapsed one house after another, countless fragments and brick fragments were shot out in all directions, and large swathes of the city were razed to the ground.

In the middle of the violent explosion, a raging fire rose up, and then began to rage wildly, choking sulfur and poisonous smoke filled everywhere, and it didn't take long for almost the entire county to fall into flames! The devils used a large number of brimstone bombs again, without any concern for whether there were civilians in the city, and it was completely indiscriminate and devastating bombing. However, this is not the end, the devil bomber then flew to Yutai County.
