The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 970 Effortless
The corner of Shao Zuo's mouth was filled with a smug smile. According to his battle plan, he pushed the entire Xiaonanzhuang horizontally with absolute superiority in artillery fire. After the main force of the troops entered Xiaonanzhuang, he dispatched two troops to detour from the left and right wings and quickly block the attack. I live at the end of Xiaonan Village.

Completely block this damned Eighth Route Army in Xiaonanzhuang, and then wipe it out in one fell swoop.

This old devil's plan is bang bang bang.

It's a pity that when it actually went ahead, it didn't work like that.

Under the fierce artillery fire of the entire Japanese vanguard brigade, the Qianzhuang area of ​​Xiaonanzhuang was directly thrown to the little devil by the Eighth Route Army.

After nearly half of the Japanese vanguard brigade has successfully entered Nanzhuang.

Brigadier Zhang, who was at the helm of the temporary forward headquarters, gave the order to close his pockets without hesitation.

After the order was issued, the officers and soldiers quickly began to operate.

First, the 716th regiment stationed in Zhangjiazhuang and Majiabao immediately dispatched a force to detour eastward.

In addition, the Yanbei Detachment stationed in the northeast of Xiaonanzhuang, Liujia Village also dispatched [-]% of the elite, contracted cavalry troops to rush to the west.

A mechanized combat unit also arranged on the flanks, mixed with eight armored vehicles, and about twenty chariots converted from military vehicles and motorcycles, quickly detoured towards the artillery squadron and supply units behind the devils.

After noticing the movement of the Eighth Route Army, the security forces arranged by the devil Shao Zuo quickly reported the news to the headquarters.

Inside the brigade headquarters.

"Sir, there is news from the western reconnaissance team that there is an Eighth Route Army unit in the direction of Zhangjiazhuang, and it is rushing to the back of our army!"

"Reporting sir, there is news from the east side reconnaissance team that an Eighth Route Army unit has suddenly appeared in the direction of Liujia Village and is rapidly advancing towards our army's flank!"

Realizing the situation, Shao Zuo, the devil, was taken aback. Only then did he realize that the entire Xiaonanzhuang might be a trap set by the Eighth Route Army.

However, the current situation is quite embarrassing for him.

Half of his entire brigade has entered Xiaonan Village, and the other half is outside Xiaonan Village.

It's like eating a long strip of cabbage, half of it has gone into the throat, while the other half is still rattling outside the mouth.

How uncomfortable it is.

The Eighth Route Army had obviously come prepared, and it seemed that they were going to directly cut off the retreat of his imperial troops. It might be too late to retreat now.

After thinking for a while, the major immediately issued an order:

"Notify the front troops to strengthen the offensive. In the shortest possible time, all our troops will enter Xiaonanzhuang, and then rely on the terrain of Xiaonanzhuang to hold on, launch a blockade, hold back the main force of the eight routes, and wait for the follow-up reinforcements!"

"Hi!"

After the order was issued, the corner of the major's mouth turned up, showing a bit of disdain.

"Could it be that the Eighth Route Army is trying to completely annihilate my first vanguard brigade? It's too much thinking, it's just hitting a stone with an egg.

It just so happens that your Excellency, the captain of the regiment, has been looking for an opportunity to lure out the main force of the Eighth Route Army and wipe them out in one fell swoop. I just need to use Xiaonanzhuang as a position to hold back this Eighth Route Army force and wait for the main force of the regiment to attack from both sides! "

What a beautiful idea!

But with the evolution of the situation, everything soon completely exceeded the expectations of the devil.

First, the two Eighth Route Army units lurking in the northwest and northeast directions of Xiaonanzhuang launched a sudden attack, which was much faster than the Japanese army had speculated.

Then, the Devil's Pioneer Brigade had entered part of Xiaonanzhuang's troops, and continued to plow forward with the advantage of artillery fire, but it was also blocked.

The Eighth Route Army lurking in the second half of Xiaonanzhuang also launched an artillery attack, and the artillery used by the opponent seemed to have a longer range, greater power, and higher accuracy.

Under the confrontation of grenadier firepower at the squad level, the artillery unit of the little devil was no match for a while.

Because the previous victory made them too careless, the artillery positions they built had already been exposed.

Under the artillery raid of the Eighth Route Army, nearly half of the devil's grenadier position was directly blown up.

More than a dozen grenade launchers were immediately reimbursed, and the captain of the team was trembling with distress.

However, the attack ahead was not smooth, and the speed of the entire Japanese army's entry into Xiaonanzhuang immediately came to a standstill.

So much so that the other half of the devil's troops outside Xiaonanzhuang were attacked by the flanks of the 716 regiment and the Yanbei detachment before they had time to hide in Xiaonanzhuang.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the Eighth Route must have concealed artillery fire. Judging from the extent of their counterattack, their artillery fire seems to be more sophisticated than ours. Their artillery fires farther than ours and is more powerful.

If there is no artillery with a larger caliber, just our grenadier troops, I am afraid they will not be the opponents of these Eighth Route Army! "

After hearing about the vanguard battle, Major was a little dumbfounded.

Has the Eighth Route Army, which has always had backward equipment, scarce ammunition, and basically no artillery at the squad level, has developed to such a point in silence?

At this time, the Japanese army was already on the verge of riding a tiger.

More than half of the troops have already entered Xiaonanzhuang, and they will definitely not be able to withdraw now, and the outside is also blocked by the eight roads detoured by the two wings.

In the end, Shao Zuo hurriedly made preparations at both ends.

On the one hand, the Ministry of Communications quickly contacted the regiment headquarters in Guzhen, and reported to the regiment captain Suzuki the difficulties of the vanguard brigade.

On the other hand, the artillery offensive of the vanguard troops was blocked.

The Eighth Route Army troops lurking in the second half of Xiaonanzhuang were under fierce artillery fire. Major Guizi decided to postpone the attack until his artillery squadron arrived, and then wiped out these damned Eighth Route Army troops in one fell swoop with the advantage of artillery.

The original offense was temporarily transformed into defense.

It is not only waiting for the arrival of the artillery unit, but also waiting for the reinforcements sent by Suzuki.

But once the little devils stopped, the Eighth Route Army would not let them down.

When the vanguard brigade of the Japanese army temporarily stopped advancing artillery fire and built fortifications on the spot, it was ready to stand firm and wait.

After Kong Jie on the west side of Xiaonanzhuang led the soldiers to detour, he launched a surprise attack from the west side of the Japanese brigade.

The attack was extremely violent.

The little devils of the Vanguard Brigade immediately tasted the power of the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army from the Iron Triangle, as well as the powerful tactics of the infantry and artillery coordination.

The opponent's various artillery strike methods, as well as various combat equipment on hand to suppress the Japanese army's bolt-action rifles.

All of a sudden, in the hand-to-hand handover between the two sides, the little devil was beaten and retreated steadily.

Shao Zuo, who was aware of the situation, was taken aback. The attack from the left-wing Eighth Route Army was extremely fierce, and it was far from the fighting power that the Tuba Route Army in the Northwest Military Region should have in his impression.

Don't care about the reason.

Shao Zuo quickly ordered to mobilize more than half of the Japanese troops who were originally defending on the right, and rushed to the left to assist in the defense.

And with the mobilization of troops from Xiaonanzhuang's right wing.

The driver has been waiting for the fighter plane in the southeast direction of Xiaonanzhuang, and the soldiers of the 715th regiment, which is the supplementary regiment of the pocket formation, also immediately went into battle.

And when the confrontation between the Japanese army and the troops led by Kong Jie on the west side of Xiaonanzhuang became fierce, they suddenly launched a violent raid on the east side where the Japanese defense forces were empty.

"Your Excellency, Captain, there is a sudden surprise attack by a large number of the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the east side, and the defense line is about to be overwhelmed!"

After the panicked messengers sent the news, Major Devil, who was directing the defense on the west side, suddenly became a little confused.

Once the east side is breached and the Eighth Route Army attacks from both sides, his entire vanguard group may be in danger of being destroyed.

At this point, he finally realized what a stupid decision it was to enter Xiaonanzhuang in a daze.

This was clearly a trap dug by the Eighth Route Army long ago, but he jumped into it foolishly.

The battle situation was pressing, and in desperation, the devil had no choice but to adjust his tactics:

"Notify the defenders on the left and right, gradually shrink their troops, and make a strategic retreat to Qianzhuang!"

Major Guizi knew very well that if he continued to stick to the fronts on both sides of the east and west, he would be completely broken by the Eighth Route Army sooner or later.

It is better to shrink back all the troops on the two fronts, and at worst, actively abandon the occupied area and gradually retreat.

Then concentrate its forces to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army troops, wait until the follow-up artillery troops arrive, and launch a counterattack with the artillery advantage, contain these Eighth Route Army troops, and wait for the arrival of the main force of the company.

Then cooperate with the inside and outside, and wipe out these cunning Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

The last reliance of Shao Zuo is the artillery squadron that is at the rear and is about to arrive.

But just when the devil, Shao Zuo, was about to see through, the communication soldier with a panicked face came next.

"Sir, an extremely fast armored unit suddenly appeared on the back of our army, and the opponent directly attacked our army's baggage and artillery units.

The rear of our army has been completely dispersed by the opponent's armored vehicles. "

"Bastard, how is this possible?"

Shao Zuo, the devil, was furious and panicked in his heart. Now the last support he had been waiting for, the artillery unit, was gone. How can we fight this battle?
The armored troops of the Eighth Route attacked the devil's artillery and supply troops in a sneak attack, and successfully dispersed the devil's rear.

Here are the results.

The specific attack process is also funny. At that time, the mechanized combat troops arranged by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, with eight armored vehicles and more than 20 combat vehicles, quickly launched an attack from the artillery and logistics troops behind the Japanese army.

The Japanese army originally arranged a rear guard at the tail of the baggage and artillery units, which was nearly a squadron of little devils.

In fact, even against armored vehicles, as long as these little devils counterattack properly, they can at least stop them for a while.

Gain opportunities for the transfer of artillery and supply units.

The situation at the time was quite dramatic.

Because the devil's rear guard failed to react, he actually regarded the mechanized combat unit of the Eighth Route Army that was advancing quickly as his Japanese army!

What is going on?
It turned out that the mechanized combat unit arranged by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong was the absolute elite of the Audio-Technica, using almost all Japanese-style equipment, equipped with specially modified combat vehicles.

Everyone wore steel helmets and military boots, and drove Japanese-style armored vehicles, motorcycles, and military vehicles.

In addition, at the time of departure, the company commander who led the team used his brains and asked the driver and the soldiers who were exposed to the outside view to deliberately change into the little devil's Showa uniform.

The company commander at the time didn't think much about it, and felt that a little camouflage could be used to fool around for a while.

In the end, I really didn't expect this little devil stationed in Mongolia to be so stupid, until his own armored vehicle almost stepped on the opponent's face.

Those little devils didn't have much defense, and they seemed to look forward to it.

Naturally, the company commander wouldn't disappoint the little devil, and he gave an order directly. The machine guns and artillery installed on the first armored vehicles fired in unison. After a burst of artillery fire, after the bullets poured in, the devil's rear guard was directly disabled.

How can flesh and blood stop the torrent of steel like armored vehicles?
Although the confrontation on the battlefield at this moment was short, it was extremely tragic and tragic.

The devastation of the armored forces and the absolute crushing of the conventional infantry were fully reflected at this moment.

After the rear guard of the Japanese army was quickly defeated and disabled, the advancing armored vehicles and chariots, after a while, smoothly approached the rear of the devil's baggage and artillery units.

The little devils who were transporting luggage and artillery suddenly came to their senses.

It wasn't any armored vehicle unit from their empire that came, it was clearly a mechanized combat unit built by the Eighth Route Army who came to claim their lives!
The ensuing confrontation between the two sides was completely different.

Although the devil's artillery is powerful, it is limited to long-range attacks.

In a close-range confrontation, the distance between the two sides may be less than tens of meters. How can the devil's regiment artillery and infantry artillery be of any use?

Coupled with the attack like a torrent of steel, the armored vehicles rushed forward while roaring, and all kinds of chariots carried out the slaughter with their super mobility and added firepower advantages.

But within ten minutes, the artillery and supply troops in the second half of the devil were directly scattered by the mechanized combat troops.

When the little devils in the middle rushed to reinforce them, they only saw the cannons behind them being hung by the damn Eighth Route Army on the backs of the armored vehicles, pulling them and running back.

That is the arsenal, especially the tow hooks installed at the rear of some tanks and armored vehicles.

The good name is: "Seize the towing hook!"

Kong Jie explained the suggestion of installing a tow hook in this way:

"In the future, we will definitely be able to capture the devil's cannons. Some of the cannons are relatively light, so it's okay. When we encounter some large-caliber cannons, we can't push them with two hands, right?

There is no danger, it is good for us to prepare some tow hooks on the combat vehicles in advance, if we seize the artillery at any time, hang it up, drag it and run away. "

Now it really comes in handy.

For the Japanese army, it didn't take long for the rear artillery unit to be destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and the artillery units were dragged away by the opponent.

The loss is nothing.

Guzhen.

Knowing that the battle between the Vanguard Brigade and the Eighth Route Army has entered a fierce battle, these cunning Eighth Route Army set up a considerable pocket ambush formation with the help of Xiaonanzhuang, outflanking and besieging the Vanguard Brigade from all directions, causing the Vanguard Brigade to fall into a bitter battle.

As expected of a general of the Japanese army, the old devil Suzuki was not too flustered.

On the contrary, he immediately issued a military order and said:

"Yaoxi, the main force of the Eighth Route has appeared, and it is the perfect time for our army to destroy it in one fell swoop! Pass my order, and all the brigades will set off and advance towards Xiaonanzhuang at high speed."

"Hi!"

In addition, Suzuki immediately communicated to the headquarters, requesting the subsequent arrival of air fire reinforcements.

The two squadrons deployed at Wuchagou Airport are on standby at any time.

In this way, the old devil Suzuki felt that nothing would go wrong, with the elite of his Suzuki United team, and the cooperation of air firepower.

Annihilating the Eighth Route Army that attempted to attack his vanguard with Xiaonanzhuang's trap in one fell swoop...
