The father of the sword is Kong Jie

The base of the first independent detachment of the Eighth Route Army Shanxi Northwest North.

Center line defense zone.

The rear guard of the main force of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, which was originally advancing towards the secret airport area of ​​a team, retreated to this area.

The Japanese commander who led the team let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, he rushed out from the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army along the way.

This devil commander is in charge of the rear security of the main force, and also for the retreat of the main force of the Sixth Division, scouting the road in advance and checking whether there are traps and ambushes of the Eighth Route Army troops along the way.

Da Zuo was a little startled by the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

He suddenly felt that this was not at all like the rumored Hanako unit that was short of guns and ammunition, but rather like the Central Army unit that had fought before.

No, to be precise, it is a team that is not weaker than the Central Army in terms of equipment, and its combat effectiveness and tactical level even exceed that of the Central Army.

The blocking positions along the way were well deployed by the Eighth Route Army.

Set along the ladder and expand layer by layer.

The various firepower points deployed along the way, the collocation of light and heavy machine guns, and the construction of each machine gun fortification can be described as exquisite, which perfectly blends with the surrounding terrain and terrain, coupled with a wide and reasonable shooting range.

The Japanese army retreating all the way, facing the firepower of the Eighth Route Army blocking along the way, was like an onion. Every step they took, they were peeled off layer by layer.

Corpses littered the field all the way, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers who fell on both sides and had no time to take them away could almost pile up into hills.

It was too tragic.

In the memory of the Japanese Colonel, since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the imperial army has not fought such a fierce battle for a long time.

Even when facing the Central Army, which is known as the most elite Chinese army, on the frontal battlefield, there have never been such exaggerated casualties.

It's really that these damned Eighth Route Army are too hateful.

They are familiar with the mountainous environment, and it's nothing more than being able to perfectly use the terrain to occupy the home court, but they are also good at using intrigues and tricks and various sneak attacks that emerge in endlessly.

Just a while ago.

Da Zuo led the troops to advance vigilantly all the way. Under the scorching sun, the drinking water they carried had already been exhausted. The soldiers were tired, thirsty and frightened.

At this moment, not far from the evacuation, the Japanese army discovered a large melon field, on which one could see one after another verdant watermelons that made people want to drool.

How can the hungry and thirsty little devils restrain the excitement in their hearts.

After the chief who also wanted a watermelon to quench his thirst gave the order, the little devils rushed towards the melon field in ecstasy.

Dozens of little devils arrived first, and the moment they tore the watermelon off the vine, there was a sudden explosion.

In an instant, a large number of devils fell directly, and the watermelon was not eaten, but was directly blown up by the landmine.

Some little devils directly triggered the hidden directional anti-personnel mines when picking watermelons.

The splinters and steel balls that splashed out like splashing ink directly shot the dozens of little devils who were heading towards them into hedgehogs.

The devil Dazuo was stunned.

These damn eight roads actually hid mines in this melon field.

In an instant, half of the enemies were not seen, and the little devils who were eager to eat melons lost more than 20 people, and there were more than 30 wounded in the team.

Da Zuo is helpless. After scolding the cunning Eighth Route Army, he quickly ordered to avoid the melon fields and continue to retreat. At the same time, he made a special statement during the advance process that he must never enter any melon fields or vegetable fields along the way. I don't know if there are eight hidden mines in it.

The little devils have gained a lot of wisdom after eating a pit, and they have learned to be honest.

Let alone eating watermelon in the future, I am afraid that seeing watermelon will cause nightmares.

But that's not all.

Beware of the little devils who may hide mine traps everywhere, and in the process of continuing to evacuate, they will be attacked by small groups of Eighth Route Army troops from time to time after occupying the commanding heights.

The grassroots Japanese officers who led the team ordered the attack without saying a word. They had to clear a safe passage for the main force to retreat.

Who knew that when the battle between the two sides was in full swing, the Eighth Route Army guarding the high ground chose to withdraw directly.

The little devil easily occupied the high ground that was originally defended by the Eighth Route Army.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army who had just occupied the high ground and deployed their defenses had not had time to be happy, and a large number of shells bombarded the high ground.

Under the cover of artillery fire, this highland, which did not have any complete fortifications, soon became a graveyard for the Japanese troops stationed there.

The devil's casualties spread rapidly.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army attacked with artillery fire, consuming the vital forces of the Japanese troops stationed on the high ground. After the devils were disabled, they rushed up to snatch these high grounds again, and continued to block the main force of the devils retreating.

According to this model, sometimes a highland with a relatively important location even changed hands back and forth between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army as many as ten times.

The little devils were beaten completely mad.

It was the bare, meaningless high ground, but the corpses of the warriors they fell there were almost piled up into mountains.

"What kind of tactic is this?
This is called elastic defense tactics.

Our counterattack this time not only includes the roundabout attack of mechanized combat troops, but also purposefully abandons some low-lying villages or highlands that are easy to attack and difficult to defend. , Let the dummy and the dead puppet army corpses and minefields go in, and then retreat, so as to repeatedly see-saw battles.

It is to gradually exhaust and kill the devil's troops. "

At the military meeting of the headquarters, Shen Quan, the head of the Third Independent Regiment, said so at the time.

As an old subordinate who has been with Kong Jie for many years, and with a relatively active mind, Shen Quan can be said to have won the true biography of Kong Jie, and the naughty little devil can be said to be full of tricks.

……

On the other side, the Niu Dao Man Division was also driven mad by various methods of the Eighth Route Army... Just a few hours ago, Lieutenant General Niu Dao Man led the main force of his division along the path into the Huangyadong Mountains , quietly slipped in.

The road was calm and the waves were not blocked by the Eighth Route Army, which made Niu Daoman feel a little relieved. Perhaps this was really the weakness of the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal.

Maybe he can really destroy the Huangyadong arsenal of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop and make great achievements.

In the mixed Eighth Brigade, which was advanced as cannon fodder, Yan Sanfu also specially sent news that the Eighth Route Army troops encountered were not the main force, but just a small defensive force in Huangya Cave, perhaps less than a battalion.

In the communication, Yan Sanfu expressed righteousness and dignity:
"Our department is determined to fight to the death and buy time for your Excellency the Division Chief!"

Ushijima Man, who finally made up his mind, no longer hesitated.

This old devil also has arrogance in his heart, his troops are good at fighting in the mountains, as long as they can successfully enter the mountains of Huangyadong, it is not yet known who will win the battle.

Isn't it just a group of Eighth Route Army troops hiding in the mountains like mice!

The elite of our Kwantung Army cannot be matched by your Eighth Route Army.

In this way, after Niu Daoman led the main force to advance rapidly, he was not blocked by the Eighth Route Army troops along the way. It seemed that all dangers were attracted by Yan Sanfu's Eighth Mixed Brigade.

Then, the vanguard of the advance reported that they had encountered farms and construction areas built by the Eighth Route Army deep in the mountains.

Hearing this, Niu Daoman personally rushed to a mountain and picked up a telescope to observe it from a distance.

He saw the mountain valleys and buildings, and after thinking about it, Niu Daoman said to the chief of staff beside him: "It seems that the Eighth Route Army here is also very cunning. This should be the secret camp of the Eighth Route Army, just like those anti-Japanese troops in the mountains. If the heads are the same, it may be the supplies hoarded by the Eighth Route Army.

We might really be right this time. "

"General, do you want to order an attack? The Eighth Route Army is already short of supplies. If we loot all their supplies, the Eighth Route Army may have a headache!"

Niu Daoman nodded, but out of caution, he still said: "Before attacking, let's ask Yan Sanfu about the situation of the Eighth Route Army."

"Hi!"

The news spread to the Eighth Mixed Brigade Command.

Yan Sanfu and his adjutant Da Zhiming had a problem, and the old devil Niu Daoman asked this question, how should they answer?
Da Cong said: "Traveler, why don't we ignore it and pretend we don't know anything?"

Yan Sanfu shook his head, "That's not okay. If the little devil falls into the trap, the old devil Niu Daoman will definitely take us down because of his anger."

"Then what shall we do?"

Yan Sanfu thought for a while and said, "Praise this arrogant person, if you praise him, it will definitely not be as stimulating as belittling him.

This mountain farm is clearly a trap for the Eighth Route Army, but we can't tell the truth, and we can't ignore it at all.

...Yes, let the communications soldiers tell the Japanese army, and say that I said it.

According to my judgment, this valley must be the farm of the Eighth Route Army. If you go in, you may be hit by landmines, shelled, and even ambushed troops. You must not go carelessly. Don’t go in. Then you will go to the Eighth Route Army. Dang! "

After Yan Sanfu gave the order, the news quickly spread to the headquarters of the Udo Manshi Regiment.

"Yaoxi, did Yan Sanfu really say that?"

"Hi!"

As soon as he said this, he followed Niu Daoman, who originally belonged to the Northeast Expeditionary Team, and followed the little devil to work for tigers. The traitor leader who persecuted the Anti-Union was used to it, and cursed: "Yan Sanfu dare not go, we dare, isn't it just a little boy from the Eighth Route Army?" Small camp?

I have seen a lot in Linhaixueyuan, at best, a few land mines and Tuba roads are sniping, brothers, come on! "

Niu Daoman was not in a hurry to give orders, but just watched the crusade team enter the farm and construction area.

Not long after, the traitor leader returned with a big watermelon in his arms, and said happily, "Report to the general, my brothers have visited all those dilapidated houses, vegetable fields, and orchards, where is the Eighth Route Army?
That group of North China Imperial Association Army, who only know how to eat and drink, are nothing but food and drink. Hearing that the Eighth Route Army can be frightened, their faces change drastically. They dare not even occupy an empty battalion. "

Then the leader of the forward search team went in with a group of people to search for supplies, and was going to repair them here.

Ushidoman watched the crusade team and forward search team enter the farm one after another. He ordered the guard team to prepare to enter the building and set up a temporary headquarters.

In this regard, Lieutenant General Ushido Man was very confident, dragging Japanese in his mouth: "Yaoxi, I don't believe that my Ushido Manshi regiment is full of members, tens of thousands of elites, and I can't go to the farm of the Eighth Route Army to pick a few watermelons!"

But the weather was too hot, so he didn't go in immediately. Instead, he enjoyed the cool under the shade of a tree outside the farm, eating the watermelon sent by the traitor leader in advance, and waiting for the temporary headquarters to be set up.

Just at this moment, thunder erupted from the flat ground.

A series of big explosions suddenly occurred in the farm and building area. The explosions connected to one area, and under the witness of the little devils, the entire farm and a large number of buildings were blown to pieces.

As for the Japanese soldiers in the farms and buildings, it is natural that there is more than good luck.

Heavy mortar shelling followed.

One after another, like sparrows across the sky, as if they had eyes, they continued to fall towards the farm and building areas.

Ushidoman hadn't reacted yet, and the crusade team that entered it, as well as the search brigade of the Ushidoman division, were directly covered in artillery fire.

Niu Dao was in a daze, and was in a daze when the chief of staff at the side had quick eyes and quick hands, and pulled him away.

"General, Yan Sanfu really hit the mark, the Eighth Route Army really has an ambush!"

Accompanied by the continuous sound of cannons, Ushijima Misai ordered people to build the headquarters, the guard brigade, the search brigade, and the crusade team. In the chaos, the soldiers fell one by one.

When Niu Daoman ran to the reverse slope of the mountain under the escort of the guards, he saw the soldiers who ran out of the farm die on the road one by one.

He was so angry that he ordered the artillery positions to be built and fired. As a result, the shells flying from the flanks covered his two artillery positions as soon as the artillery fired two rounds.

Niu Daoman was dumbfounded.

Now that the battle has been fought, he didn't even figure out where the shells flew out from. It seemed that he had eyes, and he directly blew up his artillery position.

He hadn't even seen half of the Eighth Route, and his team suffered a lot of losses just from the artillery attack.

"asshole!"

Niu Daoman cursed, since he entered the Chinese battlefield, he has never suffered such a big loss.

A group of the Eighth Route Army hiding not far from the farm took the opportunity to open fire and attack the Japanese and puppet troops entering the farm area.

The angry Niu Daoman immediately ordered an attack, and the two sides exchanged fire for less than ten minutes, and the Eighth Route Army turned around and retreated into the mountain without hesitation.

The fire-breathing bull gave the order to let the troops advance. He still doesn't believe in this evil. He, the elite Kwantung Army who is good at fighting in the mountains, can't take care of these monkey-like Eighth Route Army troops scurrying around in the mountains?

So far, he didn't think that this was the main force of the Eighth Route Army's ambush here in advance.

Maybe it was just encountering the defensive troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The more resistance they encounter, the more it means that they are heading towards an important military base of the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, this Niu Daoman is also to blame for his bad luck. He met the Eighth Route Army farm, saw the traitors, and the search brigade entered and found no traps, and there were no Eighth Route Army blocking positions around him.

He asked the troops to rest, but was bombarded by the Eighth Route Army's 82 mortars, 60 mortars, and 92 infantry artillery.

The sudden all-round bombardment disrupted the devils, so that the Japanese army was unable to organize troops immediately to rescue the troops in the farm.

This is the way of the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, since the Niudao Manshi Regiment was still on the outer line of the Huangyadong defense system at this time, it was not tempted to go deep at all, so there were not many artillery attacks on the Japanese army.

It was only because of the fast rate of fire of the mortar, the dispersion of the artillery crew, and the shelling of fixed targets, that the little devil was caught off guard...
