Chapter 29: The Battle of Ambushes
The commander of the 36th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Ono Saburo, was full of confidence, because his brigade was absolutely top-notch in terms of firepower configuration, which was incomparable to the wing defeated by Li Yunlong.
After the three battalions of Li Yunlong's new regiment of the Eighth Route Army were ambushed, the Japanese army had not yet arrived, and now the soldiers were resting for a while, and then there was a tough battle to be fought, after all, it was a brigade, although the Eighth Route Army was ambushing them, but after all, the number was one to ten, and the combat power of this brigade was the top in the devil army.
Therefore, everyone did not dare to be careless, and was ready to fight to the death, even if the whole battalion was sacrificed, they had to eliminate the devils and contribute to the victory of the entire battle.
It was four o'clock in the morning, and it was about to dawn in two hours, and at this time, the soldiers of the first battalion noticed the arrival of the devil.
Everyone is actually a little uneasy in their hearts, after all, this time they have to face a brigade, nearly 10,000 devils, and they only have 1,000 people, how can they eliminate more devils, drag this brigade, and let the new regiment and the independent regiment eliminate the devil wing as soon as possible?
Only when the battle over there is over, can the brigade be fully surrounded and annihilated.
Of course, this is not to say that the soldiers are afraid of devils, afraid of death or something, this does not exist, because most of the fighters have a deep blood feud with the devils, they are all ruined by the devils, and fighting the devils is their only obsession, so they are not afraid of death, they just hate to kill a few more devils.
Now it's okay, the equipment of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is so good, of course they want to kill a few more devils, and they don't think about their own life and death, but they are afraid that they will not make their due contribution to the overall Zhuge of the new regiment.
Seeing that the big army of the little devils had entered the valley, the battalion commander Wang Chengzhu shouted: "Prepare for battle!" ”
All the fighters were loaded and ready to fire.
If this had been changed before, everyone would have thought that the regiment commander was crazy, and a battalion would dare to ambush a devil and a brigade.
There are too many little devils, although it is said that the sky is not yet dawn, but it is obvious that when this devil marches, the ground vibration is brought about, and there are a lot of heavy guys, such as those field artillery, and mortars or something, all of which are pulled by cars.
Although it is said that this ambush is very likely to make the little devils counterattack and kill everyone, but no one has flinched.
If it had been before, even three regiments would not have dared to ambush a brigade of devils like this, after all, the equipment was too far behind.
Under normal circumstances, the Eighth Route Army must be at least twice as many as the devils before they dare to fight such a tough battle.
Wang Chengzhu saw that the troops in front of the devil had already passed part of it, so he shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight me, hit with heavy firepower, don't stop!" “
As soon as the starting gun rang out, the soldiers opened fire.
More than a dozen machine guns are firing fiercely at the little devils, as if they are not afraid of wasting bullets at all, and the effect of nearly 1,000 rifles is also obvious.
In addition, the 100-millimeter mortars and anti-tank rockets launched by anti-tank rockets brought this time also continued to fall in the ranks of devils, taking the lives of many devils.
The explosions and gunfire were loud, and the devils were stunned at once, and they didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would get the information and ambush them here.
This Ono Sanlang was still fantasizing that this time he would be able to eat all of Li Yunlong's new regiment, and even the independent regiment would be killed, but it didn't come to fruition, and he was still more than ten miles away from arriving at the location, when suddenly a burst of gunfire sounded in front.
The vanguard had already been ambushed, and suddenly Ono Saburo was so angry that he scolded loudly: "Eight Grid Tooth Road, what's the situation!" ”
Immediately, one of his subordinates ran over and reported: "Report, it's not good, our army has encountered an eight-way ambush, and now I don't know what the situation is!" ”
If it weren't for Ono Saburo's car in the back, it is estimated that he would have been hit at this time, listening to his subordinates' report, Ono Saburo was angry, slapped this subordinate, and scolded loudly: "Give me an order, fight back immediately, and you must kill me Balu!" ”
The subordinate hurriedly said, "Yes, sir! ”
This brigade is worthy of being the elite unit of the Japanese army, although it is said that it has just begun, it was beaten in a daze, and the losses were not small, but it soon began to find the terrain and prepare for a counterattack.
Or the firepower of the three battalions of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is not strong enough, after all, it is only the heavy firepower of a battalion, so it is difficult to pose too much threat to a brigade of nearly 10,000 people, and after the devils lost two or three hundred people, they organized a counterattack.
Of course, the soldiers of the first battalion occupy a geographical advantage, so it is difficult for the devil's counterattack to be severely damaged for a while.
The field artillery of the little devils began to work, and there were mortars, and shells kept hitting the hillside, and a battalion began to suffer casualties.
"Da Da Da ......" The little devil set up the machine gun, aimed it at the positions on both sides, and fired at the positions of the first battalion.
Of course, there are still shells falling, Wang Chengzhu saw that the devil was really difficult to fight, but he still had to fight, so he ordered everyone to concentrate firepower and fight the devil's heavy equipment.
So there are constantly mortar shells, falling on the field artillery positions of the devils.
Soon there were several devil's field artillery, which were blown up, you must know that the power of the 100-millimeter howitzer is not covered, after all, the charge is large, so the destructive power is also very strong, and at the same time it blew up the Japanese field artillery, it also took away a lot of devil artillery.
The devils began to charge, and as they attacked the hillsides on both sides, Wang Chengzhu shouted: "Brothers, throw grenades at me, you must stop the devils from climbing up!" ”
The longer the fight lasts, the more beneficial it will be to the Eighth Route Army, so everyone knows very well that even if it is the last person, it is preventing the little devils from advancing and climbing up.
As long as they wait over there, the regiment commander has wiped out the remnants of the devils, and then comes to reinforce them, and they can withdraw.
So everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering, firing guns at the little devils.
One grenade after another landed among the charging devils on the hillside, and then exploded, taking many devils with them.
It's just that the devils are constantly charging as if they don't want to die, because the devils also know very well that they must take down these Eighth Route Armies and occupy the top of the slope in order to continue to advance.
The little devil suffered a lot, and it was a little difficult to rush up for a while, after all, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was still very fierce, and this time the preparation was also very sufficient, unlike before, a person could only put a few shots to charge, and he had to fight with bayonets.
