The father of the sword is Kong Jie

From the beginning to the end, despite being frustrated in the many confrontations between Zhongtiao Mountain and the Independent Fourth Regiment.

Uchida Shinya never thought at all that with basically the same strength, the Eighth Route Army could destroy such a well-equipped and powerful Kwantung Army brigade as his own.

This is a case that has never happened since the outbreak of the war against China.

What's more, the main force of the follow-up mopping up can be said to be close at hand.

You only need to easily hold back the current eight-way team for two hours, and you will be able to hold on until the main force encircles the Independent Fourth Regiment from the periphery.

Uchida Shinya's only headache was how to completely drag the main force of the Eighth Route Army to the dirt slope area in front of him.

After all, the Eighth Route Army troops have been fighting in mountainous areas for a long time, and their mobility is obvious to all.

Once the Eight Routes choose to withdraw, with the same force, Uchida Shinya is not sure to keep the opponent.

That's it, about 10 minutes later.

The two sides finally took the lead in confrontation from the two flanks.

The soldiers of the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion attacking from the flanks of the Uchida brigade were fierce.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a general attack without holding back.

The charge sounded from the flanks, completely enveloping the Japanese army trapped under the unnamed Gaopi.

The Japanese soldiers who were besieged in the central area were also a little nervous for a while in the face of the charge horn, which represented the general attack of the Eighth Route Army and the possibility of death at any time.

But for the well-trained Kwantung Army soldiers, fear is definitely not enough. After the tension passed, their eyes even reflected a little excitement.

Under this nameless Gaopi, it is not without danger. There are many rock masses and soil slopes everywhere, which can be used as temporary fortifications.

Uchida Shinobu also immediately adjusted the deployment.

He ordered to start defense against the natural fortifications in front of him.

The Uchida Brigade is the Kwantung Army brigade, which is absolutely elite for the Japanese army.

The well-equipped equipment also surpassed that of ordinary Japanese troops.

This time, he pursued the Fourth Independent Regiment all the way, and even dared to go deep alone ahead of time. As a battle-tested commander, the old devil Nobuo Uchida naturally had his confidence.

Uchida Brigade is equipped with brigade artillery.

And there are a total of three [-]-type infantry guns, one of which has been specially strengthened.

This is much more powerful than the artillery of the conventional Japanese brigade in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

Many Japanese brigades did not even have an infantry artillery.

In addition, the Uchida Brigade also has a machine gun squadron under its jurisdiction, with a total of fourteen heavy machine guns, nearly forty light machine guns, and nearly forty grenade launchers.

This series of equipment, whether it is machine guns or artillery, the Uchida Brigade, the Kwantung Army brigade, is far more powerful than the regular field main force of the Japanese army.

So I watched the Eighth Route Army soldiers rushing in like a tide, launching a fierce attack on both sides under the sound of the charge.

Uchida Shinya's face not only did not show any panic, but also revealed a face of sarcasm and cruelty:
"The feast of killing is about to begin!"

Uchida Shinobu also vowed to the surrounding squadron leaders.

After Uchida Shinya's deployment order was issued, he was under the command of the squad leader and squadron leader stationed in all directions of the Japanese army.

The little devils laid out the fortifications.

A machine-heavy machine gun, a grenade launcher, and a door of artillery were all set up.

Aim the muzzle and muzzle at the Eighth Route Army troops that are advancing rapidly.

With such a dense firepower configuration built in advance, Uchida Shin also believes that once the battle breaks out, these charging Eighth Route Army will surely usher in the most tragic massacre.

of course.

As a veteran on the battlefield, Uchida Xing is not lacking in caution.

Although he had never met Wang Huaibao, he had confronted the commander of the Eighth Route Army many times in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Even with an absolute strength advantage, Uchida Nobu did not get the slightest advantage.

So Uchida Nobuya has actually been on guard against Wang Huaibao's methods.

When the main force of the Eighth Route Army on both flanks suddenly launched a fierce attack, Uchida Shinya was still full of doubts.

He was a little puzzled, as the commander of the Eighth Route Army who could command a regiment.

You shouldn't be ignorant of this point!

Facing the defensive position that he was waiting for, coupled with the well-equipped and powerful firepower of his Kwantung Army brigade.

Go straight to the attack in this situation.

Wouldn't it be the next fire attack from his Kwantung Army brigade in its heyday?
Uchida Shin also imagined that if it was him, he would definitely destroy or completely suppress the enemy's fortifications with artillery fire before the infantry charged.

Cover the infantry charge.

It's a pity that Wang Huaibao couldn't tell him the answer.

Watching the Eighth Route Army troops rushing rapidly from the two wings.

Uchida Shinobu, who couldn't figure out the reason, simply stopped thinking about it.

He remembered the tactics commonly used by the Eighth Route Army in order to save ammunition, often bringing the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Empire to a considerable distance.

Then fire suddenly, hitting the enemy by surprise.

"Give me an order to bring this group of eight roads closer to within a hundred meters before firing!"

Uchida Shinya, who decided to learn from the Eighth Route Army's style of play, followed suit and issued orders.

On the other hand, he thinks that the eight roads will be brought closer before playing.

You can take the opportunity to hold down the main force of the Eighth Route Army nearby and persist until the encirclement of the main force is wiped out.

Once the distance is far away, the attack will be launched. Once the attack of the Eighth Route is frustrated, it is easy to choose to withdraw.

Judging from these factors, there is no problem with Uchida Nobuya's order to attack nearby.

In addition, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army are all elite Japanese soldiers. Basically, all soldiers will undergo militarized training for nearly a year before joining the army.

And had professional shooting training.

Every marksmanship is quite good, and a very high hit rate can be achieved at a distance of 200 meters.

If the Eighth Route Army is placed within 100 meters.

Uchida Shin also believes that in the absence of a bunker.

Facing the gathered troops of the Eighth Route Army, the warriors of the empire could completely wipe out an Eighth Route Army with a single bullet.

They are not even afraid of the skirmish line attack opened by the Eighth Route Army.

As for the small number of Eighth Route Army on the unnamed soil slope with their backs, there is no movement for the time being.

Uchida Shinobi just kept a squadron, always on guard against the surprise attack of the soldiers of the fourth company on the unknown high slope.

The rest of the main force is all placed on the defense of the two flanks.

……

Behind the flanks of Uchida Brigade, several battalion commanders of the Fourth Regiment were holding binoculars and watching the battle ahead.

Seeing that the assault troops in front opened the skirmish line and rushed within 200 meters of the Japanese army, the devils still did not launch a fire attack.

The first battalion commander was overjoyed.

"This bastard little devil really made the leader guess right..."

He then issued an order to the communications soldier:
Tell the artillery unit that after the main force of the attack reaches the 100-meter range of the Japanese fortifications, they will immediately bombard the Japanese fortifications!

"Yes!"

Time passed quickly.

The cries of killing from both sides intensified.

With the rapid pace of the charge, the main force of the three battalions of the Independent Fourth Regiment advancing from the flanks of the Uchida Brigade quickly approached within less than 100 meters of the Japanese fortifications.

"Yaoxi, open fire—"

Uchida Shinya, who saw this scene, gave the order excitedly.

He seemed to have predicted that he would soon see the extremely anticipated scene of massacring the Eighth Route Army.

boom -

And almost as soon as Uchida Shinya's order was issued, the Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns just fired.

A large number of shells continued to hit from the rear of the flanks.

in a roar

On the Japanese fortifications, the blocking firepower was temporarily suppressed.

Although Uchida Nobu had long considered that the Eighth Route Army would use artillery to attack when attacking, after all, the independent Fourth Regiment in Zhongtiaoshan was well equipped, far surpassing ordinary Eighth Route Army combat troops.

They even have a considerable number of artillery in their hands.

The Japanese army is very clear about this situation.

Therefore, the fortifications chosen by Uchida Shinya at this moment are also quite particular.

The old devil even chose the corners of a soil slope as a reverse slope, which can block the direct artillery of the Independent Fourth Regiment and obscure the sight of the curved artillery.

Greatly reduced the artillery strike effect of the Independent Fourth Regiment.

Looking at the shells that basically exploded on the outside of the reverse slope, Uchida Shinya once again sneered at the corner of his mouth.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that this was the method of the Eighth Route Army!

Taking advantage of the assault troops to attract attention, the subsequent attack will be assisted by artillery fire.

This broke the rigid tactics of the Japanese artillery after bombarding the infantry before charging.

Instead, the infantry rushed to the artillery and then bombarded.

However, it has no effect. The eight-way artillery attack method has very limited effect.

The forward command post of the fourth regiment in the rear.

Standing in the hidden command post, with the help of the condescending soil slope, Wang Huaibao, who was watching the battle ahead, naturally saw that the current artillery attack did not cause much damage to the Japanese army.

He didn't even expect that this round of bombardment could solve a Kwantung Army brigade.

If that's the case, this battle is too easy.

"The artillery unit was ordered to continue to suppress the Japanese fortifications, especially the enemy's machine gun positions, without hesitating the consumption of shells, and send our main force of the charge to within 50 meters of the Japanese fortifications in one go."

This is undoubtedly a bold order.

The artillery positions built behind the Fourth Regiment were 500 meters away from the Japanese military fortifications.

Under the attack of artillery fire at such a distance, the coordination distance of infantry and artillery was even shortened to within 50 meters.

This is a great test of the psychology of the infantry soldiers who are launching an attack.

For the artillery attack from the rear, the artillery soldiers covering the infantry are also a huge test.

Because of such close-range infantry coordination, the danger is too great.

If there is a slight mistake, the shell may not fall on the devil's head, but on his own team.

It can be said that the soldiers launched a coordinated attack at the risk of being hit by their own shells.

The situation is rapidly evolving.

Uchida Shinya, who was watching the battle at the headquarters, had a sarcasm hanging from the corner of his mouth that quickly froze on his face.

He finally suddenly realized the madness of the offensive tactics of this Eighth Route Army unit.

Build an artillery position several hundred meters behind.

The coordination distance of infantry and artillery coordination dares to be within 50 meters.

40 meters...

30 meters...

The Eighth Route Army's own artillery shells even exploded at a distance of 30 meters from the charging Eighth Route Army soldiers.

"Asshole, these goddamn eight ways, are they crazy?"

Uchida Shinya's expression finally changed.

He saw it.

Where did the Eighth Route Army come to fight?

This is clearly coming desperately.

The infantry attacked almost behind the buttocks of their own shells, and the fragments of the flying shells even directly injured many Eighth Route Army infantry who were close to the rear.

However, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the two wings of the charge, as if they had never heard of this, continued to attack the Japanese army's fortifications where the shells exploded.

There was no hesitation in the pace of charging.

What kind of army is not afraid of death!

Madmen, what a bunch of madmen!
Uchida Shin also saw the intention of the commander of the enemy Eighth Route Army.

This is to rely on the crazy infantry coordination, at the moment when the artillery fire stops.

The vanguard troops directly broke through the fortifications of the Great Japanese Empire, and handed over shortly.

This style of play is a desperate posture.

The anxious old devil Uchida Nobuya quickly issued an order to counterattack, and ordered his side and grenadiers to fire at the enemy.

It's just that the situation is rapidly evolving, and the distance between the two sides is already close to even less than 30 meters.

The smoke from the explosion of the shells still shrouded the Japanese military fortifications, temporarily obstructing the view.

The shortest range of the Japanese grenade is as far as 50 meters away.

It is impossible to hit the Eighth Route Army soldiers who are close in front of us.

The devil could only be forced to take off the grenade on his body, and tried to throw it at the charging Eighth Route Army soldiers, hoping to stop the Eighth Route Army from attacking.

Unfortunately, the distance between the two sides is too close.

In addition, the offensive tactics of the Independent Fourth Regiment are very mature.

When the soldiers attacked, they opened up the skirmish line, and then presented a small-scale three-person attack, and a large-scale three-three attack mode, which maximized the power of the skirmish line assault.

At the same time, the fourth company that noticed that the main force of the regiment under the hillside had launched an attack.

Under the order of the fourth company commander, they directly left the high slope fortifications that had been firmly guarded, rushed to the edge of the north slope, and launched a condescending fire attack on the back of the Japanese army stationed at the bottom of the slope.

In order to minimize the pressure on the main offensive of the two wing regiments.

The leader of the fourth company took the lead, holding a submachine gun, and led the soldiers of the fourth company to charge down from the gentle slope to the north.

"kill--"

beep beep beep beep—

The loud charge broke the peace in the mountains.

The little devils have tried what is called despair.

The Eighth Route Army's attacks were all on the east, west, and south sides, mixed with the thrilling shouts of killing.

It stems from the infantry and artillery coordination tactics that are constantly practiced on weekdays.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers of the Fourth Regiment launched a fierce attack against the shells.

The moment the artillery fire just stopped, he directly broke through the last 30 meters charge distance, jumped into the Japanese fortifications, and started a hand-to-hand battle with the devils.

all of a sudden.

The gray, green, and yellow military uniforms were completely mixed together, so confusing that people couldn't tell the enemy from ourselves.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Howling came out from time to time.

A scene of purgatory on earth was staged on the tragic battlefield.

Life goes by like a mustard.

Both sides erupted with a strong will to fight and a fighting spirit that sees death as home.

The Fourth Independent Regiment directly took the stance of a decisive battle.

They don't talk about any reason with the little devils at all, and they just go all out to kill you.

At this time, Uchida Shinya, the old devil who was located in the temporary headquarters of the Uchida Brigade, watched the unstoppable offensive of the Fourth Independent Regiment, and nearly half of the imperial warriors who were quickly entangled together.

This horrified old devil didn't immediately order reinforcements for the entangled vanguard.

Instead, he ordered a quick evacuation to the rear second-line fortifications.

He attempted to take advantage of the short-handed combat in front of him to take the opportunity to distance himself from the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops.

Re-establish a firm foothold, launch fortification defense, give full play to the advantage of firepower, and delay the arrival of the main sweeping force.

As for the dream of being able to severely damage the Fourth Independent Regiment without mopping up the main force, Shinya Uchida's heart was completely shattered at this time.

Such a well-equipped, extremely tough Eighth Route Army troop with the attitude of a desperate Saburo when fighting.

It completely shattered Uchida Shinya's guts.

kill--

There was another burst of shouting and killing that soared into the sky from the back.

The old devil, Uchida Nobuo, also looked back in shock. What he was waiting for was not the main mopping up force of his side, but the team led by Han Feng, the fourth battalion of the Fourth Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

At this critical moment, Han Feng finally led the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion to launch a fierce attack from the rear and the back of the Uchida Brigade...
