The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 813 Contest

At this time, the two sides are fighting for their lives.

The old devil Uchida Nobu did not hesitate to "go deep alone", and he also wanted to use his vanguard Kwantung Army brigade to completely hold back the main force of the Fourth Independent Regiment.

Wait for the main force of the follow-up sweep to besiege the Fourth Independent Regiment on the North Bank of the Yellow River in one fell swoop, and then wipe them all out.

The Japanese commander had great confidence in his troops.

In his opinion, the degree of firepower, equipment level, and combat effectiveness displayed by the Eighth Route Army troops in this battle.

It is by no means enough to defeat his Kwantung Army brigade before mopping up the main reinforcements.

As for the destruction of the Uchida Brigade.

That is even more impossible.

On the side of the Independent Fourth Regiment, from the head of the regiment, Wang Huaibao, down to the grassroots company and platoon leaders.

They were all full of anger because of the tragic scenes that happened in Bingtun Village.

The cadres at all levels of the Fourth Regiment, represented by Wang Huaibao, the head of the Fourth Regiment, therefore made up their minds that the blood debt should be paid in blood-to destroy the Japanese Kwantung Army Uchida Brigade, the vanguard of the devils.

To this end, Wang Huaibao has made full preparations in all aspects.

Both sides continued their battle plans with full confidence.

The situation evolves accordingly.

Half an hour later, Uchida Shinya gave the order to attack.

The combat effectiveness is indeed stronger than that of the Japanese army belonging to the three local divisions in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Kwantung Army, which is more powerful, has advanced more than 800 meters all the way.

At this time, the battle situation between the two sides evolved. The Eighth Route Army's blocking fortifications, which were originally in front of the Japanese mopping up troops, were approximately a horizontal line. From the center line, the Uchida Brigade took the lead in breaking through a big gap.

From the perspective of the Fourth Independent Regiment, this is the first to put the Japanese Kwantung Army Brigade in its pocket, and then it can completely close the door and beat the dog.

From the point of view of the old devil Uchida Shinya, he believed that he was the first to break through the defensive front of the Eighth Route Army.

It can be used to break the surface, drive the advance of the main mopping force, and destroy the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

The contest between the two sides quickly became fierce.

Uchida Shin has also contacted the rear headquarters.

The newsletter says:
"Our department is about to take the lead in breaking through the Eighth Route Army's forward fortifications, and will continue to attack and break the Eighth Route Army's comprehensive defense from the inside.

Please follow up the main force of our army's follow-up raids in time to cooperate with the destruction of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. "

The Japanese Army General Headquarters also deeply agreed with the combat plan proposed by Uchida Nobuya.

And made it clear that the main force will follow up in time.

……

The Japanese army swept the rear of the main force.

Originally, Han Feng led the soldiers of the fourth battalion and four companies to cut off the Japanese army's multiple transportation lines in the rear, and used the terrain to deal with the returning Japanese army to relieve the pressure on the front four regiments.

After receiving Wang Huaibao's order to destroy the Kwantung Army Brigade.

Han Feng decisively made tactical adjustments.

"Old Zhang, this devil's Kwantung Army brigade is not vegetarian.

Our regiment leader wants to destroy the Uchida brigade in one go. We must use the main force of the whole regiment, with superior forces and superior firepower, and concentrate all our forces to fight an ambush to lure the enemy deep. "

"So, once the battle starts, our Fourth Battalion must rush there in time."

"But there is still a need for someone to restrain you from the rear, but... I don't have too many troops left for you!"

Without further ado, Zhang Min said, "Old Han, just give me an order, leave me a row, that's enough!"

Han Feng shook his head, "The strength of a platoon is too small, and the risk is too great. In this way, I will leave all the main force of the company to you, and I will take the rest immediately.

After the detour, cooperate with the main force of the regiment to ambush the Uchida brigade. "

"it is good!"

After the two quickly reached an agreement, Han Feng immediately led the second, third, and fourth companies back from the predetermined route.

Zhang Min alone led a company of soldiers to continue to harass the Japanese army in the rear, attracting the attention of the Japanese army.

At this time, the attention of the Japanese army was almost entirely on the main force of the fourth regiment fighting frontally, coupled with the onslaught of the Kwantung Army brigade, it became the focus of the entire battlefield.

The Japanese army's original mopping up and advancing large nets also resulted in large gaps.

Han Feng took the opportunity to lead the main force of the three companies into the gap, and made a detour quietly, returning to the vicinity of the main force of the fourth regiment.

Lurking at the place where the Kwantung Army brigade was scheduled to ambush.

……

Duan Peng, who also received news of the adjusted combat deployment of the Fourth Regiment.

In order to cope with the plan of the main force of the regiment to destroy the Uchida Brigade.

At this time, Duan Peng, who was still lurking in Yuan County, immediately called the commandos and issued an adjusted combat order:
"There is no need to keep your hands in the next battle.

It's not just the various military facilities of the devils.

Including the main security officers of the Japanese army in this county.

Let's give the little devil a beheading operation.

Let's form a group of four people to form an assassination and beheading team.

Remember, under the premise of ensuring our own safety, no matter how big or small we are, as long as the target is a lieutenant or above, we can all choose to kill. "

"Yes!"

Several group leaders responded in unison.

Duan Peng also made advance preparations for this.

The commando has always been equipped with excellent equipment, and the spare arsenal is even richer. This time, in order to cope with the main force of the regiment, and undertake complex combat tasks.

In Ji County and Yuan County, including some of the main counties of the Japanese army, the commandos secretly prepared temporary arsenals for storing weapons in advance.

After the current combat mission is adjusted, it will be turned into a beheading operation.

In order to ensure the efficiency of the beheading operation, it also ensures the safety of the team members themselves.

Duan Peng's order is: "Keep away from close range, it is easy to expose your own killing methods.

Time bomb assassination, long-range sniping and other assassination methods can be used, mainly sniper killing.

Don't be greedy for heads, evacuate immediately after a hit! "

After the deployment, the team members were immediately divided into multiple teams to fight separately.

……

……

Zhongtiao Mountain runs along the Yellow River. The mountain is long and narrow, with towering peaks.

The northern foot of the mountain range is the flat Yuncheng Basin, which is the Su River Basin, with steep mountains and a large drop.

The southern foot slope is relatively small, mainly in the Yellow River basin, which is low and gentle. Due to the incision of the river water on the mountain, a large area of ​​plateau landform has been formed.

The landform of this plateau is very peculiar, not as open and flat as a plain, nor as secretive as a cliff.

Due to the impact of flowing water, a unique terrain with steep sides and a relatively flat top has been formed.

In other words, it is a bit like the situation in the area where the Yamazaki Brigade was destroyed—the Lijiapo Hill.

The temporary brigade headquarters of the old devil Shinya Uchida followed the middle and rear of the Uchida brigade.

After the main force of the fourth regiment retreated from the center line, Nobuo Uchida ordered to continue the pursuit, and the main force of Uchida's brigade advanced more than 200 meters.

Then the forward observation post sent the news:
"Your Excellency, Captain, the front is blocked by the Eighth Route Army again. They occupy Gaopo and hold on. It seems that they will start a decisive battle with us here."

"Nani?"

Uchida Shin was also somewhat surprised.

Although he also knew very well that if the Eighth Route Army continued to retreat, sooner or later he would be forced to fight to the north of the Yellow River by himself.

The opponent's commander is obviously also a tactical master.

Most of them will not put themselves in danger, but will launch a counterattack before reaching the north bank of the Yellow River.

However, the counterattack of these eight groups came quickly, but it exceeded Uchida Shinya's expectations.

After boarding a certain high ground at the observation post in front, Uchida Shinya raised his binoculars and looked towards the flat top and steep high ground not far away.

Immediately, he discovered that the topography of the highland in front of him was unique.

"The uplifted highland in the middle is tens of meters high. There are quite steep cliffs on the east, west and south sides. The main force cannot attack from above."

"Only the north slope we are facing is relatively gentle, but the gentle slope to the high ground is obviously a little narrow. From this point of view, even if we launch an attack, our army can only be deployed on a squadron-by-squadron scale."

At this point in the analysis, Uchida Shinya had a smile on his lips.

"It's kind of interesting. In this way, the Eighth Route Army will stick to the high ground in front of us. Even if more reinforcements from our army arrive, due to the narrow gentle slope to the north, the Eighth Route Army can occupy an absolute advantage in strength on the top and launch a counterattack."

"The commander of the opponent's Eighth Route Army is indeed a master of tactics."

The ghost staff officer on the side analyzed a sentence out of caution:
"Your Excellency, Captain, the highland in front of you is indeed an excellent natural and dangerous terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack for the Eighth Route Army, but once we block the gentle slope to the north, won't the Eighth Route Army be trapped on the highland to death?"

"So I guess that there must be an evacuation path somewhere in the east, west, and south. It is the escape path prepared by the Eighth Route in advance."

"Also, why did Eight Routes suddenly stick to the high ground in front of them and stop retreating?"

"Could it be a trap? They want to take advantage of the high ground in front of them to hold on, and wait for the Eight Routes on the left and right wings to completely encircle our army?"

Uchida Nobu also asked: "What do you mean, the purpose of the Eighth Route Army is not to fight the anti-sweeping campaign in front of us, but to destroy my Kwantung Army brigade in one fell swoop?"

The devil's staff officer nodded without denying it.

Uchida Shinobu also smiled, "Your worries are unfounded, the troops of the Eight Routes are blocking the advance of our army's mopping up troops in different directions.

The battle line in front of Balu is almost a straight line, and we are the first to break through a point.

Could it be that the Eighth Route Army can give up defensive positions in other directions and ignore them, so as to encircle and destroy our troops? "

At this point in the analysis, Uchida Shinya's mouth was full of sarcasm.

"If that's the case, Eight Routes has hit my plan."

"Once our troops advance, we will attract the troops from the entire defensive front of the Eighth Route to encircle our troops.

So from a more peripheral direction, our army can sweep the main force, and we can use our troops to drag the main force of the Eighth Route Army and form a big encirclement again. "

"In this way, although the main force of the Eighth Route has surrounded our troops, our Imperial Japanese Army can also encircle the entire main force of the Eighth Route from the outer periphery."

"At that time, our department will use the central blooming tactics to rush outwards, and cooperate with the external main force to attack back and forth."

"Do you think these eight roads can still survive under such circumstances?"

The swearing Uchida Nobuya's analysis is actually very subtle.

Of course, the premise of all this is:
Uchida Brigade was able to withstand the siege of the Fourth Independent Regiment, and persisted until the Japanese army mopped up the main force and encircled the Fourth Independent Regiment again from the outside.

As a battle-tested veteran, Shinya Uchida, who has never lacked the courage to fight the enemy, has full confidence in this.

"Two hours, you only need to stick to it for two hours at most, it's just a mere Eighth Route Army unit, it's simply too easy."

Uchida Shinobu also continued: "So next, even if it's a trick, let Balu believe that we have indeed fallen into their trap, and that our Uchida brigade is indeed here to die.

Our department should also immediately launch an attack on the high ground where the Eighth Route is stationed in front of us. "

"Notify the front troops, cooperate with the reconnaissance troops to advance, and after finding out the situation, immediately determine the offensive deployment."

"Hi!"

……

"Regimental Commander, the Japanese reconnaissance troops and forward troops have already tried to attack."

"We just set up a company on this unnamed high ground. Is this force too small?"

Fourth Regiment Temporary Headquarters.

Some cadres said worriedly.

Wang Huaibao was full of confidence in this, "Enough is enough. The company we set up on this high ground is not to destroy the enemy, but to block the Japanese army under the northern slope of the high ground."

The combat situation in front of me seemed familiar.

This reminded Wang Huaibao of the battle that destroyed the Yamazaki Brigade.

"Do you still remember that at the end of the year before last, after the end of the Hundred Regiments War, the Japanese Yamazaki Battalion accidentally hit the battle where our arsenal is located?"

The cadres nodded one after another, and also remembered the situation of the destruction of the Yamazaki Brigade at that time.

Wang Huaibao said: "At that time, our old regiment leader had the foresight to send a company of guards in advance, led by monks."

"Later, the monk first led the guards to blow up the sky.

Then lead the devil to Lijiapo.

On the high ground of Lijiapo, a company of monks abruptly blocked the attack of Yamazaki's brigade for several hours.

By the time the main reinforcements of our army passed by, the Yamazaki Brigade had lost all casualties. "

"I don't ask our company to be able to severely damage the Kwantung Army brigade in front of us. As long as it can be delayed, it is enough to buy time for our army to encircle."

After the order of the headquarters continues to be implemented.

Although he showed full confidence in front of the cadres, this confidence even infected every cadre of the Fourth Regiment.

But when no one was around, Wang Huaibao's frown showed that he was also worried about this battle in his heart.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the current battle situation.

The key lies in whether the Fourth Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army can quickly and severely damage the Uchida Brigade of the Kwantung Army within two hours.

Evacuate before the Japanese army sweeps up the main force and encircles them.

Once the battle fails, he will be entangled by the Uchida brigade instead.

Then it is very likely that the main force of the fourth regiment will be completely besieged by the Japanese army.

At that time, either the fourth regiment will abandon the troops of a company stationed on the high ground and choose to evacuate directly.

Either the Fourth Regiment would have to be forced to start a decisive battle with the Japanese army and fall into danger.

And Wang Huaibao's decision to destroy the Japanese Kwantung Army Brigade and inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army was not just because of the anger caused by what he saw in Bingtun Village.

Right now, the Japanese army is launching a big raid, obviously rushing to force the main force of the Fourth Regiment into a decisive battle.

Even if you don't fight now, you will have to fight sooner or later.

After all, the Fourth Regiment wanted to launch a counter-offensive to smash the Japanese army's sweep this time.

The Uchida Battalion is the most elite Kwantung Army unit of the Japanese army.

There is no more severe blow to the Japanese army than directly destroying the Uchida Brigade.

After Wang Huaibao pondered over and over again, he formulated a battle plan to take the lead in killing the Uchida Brigade...
