I rise from the sword

Chapter 315 A sneak attack on the Eighth Route Army field hospital, the great success of Yamazaki Zhiping

"Your Excellency, Captain, look at the map immediately and confirm our marching position."

The devil's staff officer responded, then took out a marching map and spread it on a rock, and then took out a compass.

After everything was ready, the devil's staff officer raised his head and looked around the surrounding terrain, carefully comparing it with the reference objects on the marching map.

After a while, this guy was stunned, because he found that the surrounding terrain couldn't match the map at all.

"Report to your Excellency, Captain, we are going the wrong way."

"Nani? Wrong way?"

Yamazaki Zhihei's face suddenly darkened.

"Hi Yi!"

The devil's staff officer paused, then pointed to the map, and said truthfully: "Your Excellency, Captain, at present, our marching route deviates from the expected route by about 35° to the south."

"Baga, the way! You idiot! How did yours guide you?"

Although Yamazaki Zhihei is very good at commanding, he is also a person with a short temper and it is difficult to control his emotions.

When he heard that the marching route was wrong, he immediately flew into a rage, raised his right hand and swung it out with a big ear scraper.

"Bah!"

Haruhira Yamazaki shot with anger, and this slap was merciless.

The devil's staff officer only felt a burning pain in his left cheek. He was dizzy and fell to the ground. The glasses on the bridge of his nose were also blown away a few meters away.

It is a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone, especially in unfamiliar terrain, where they are extremely easy to be ambushed by the enemy, especially when they are facing the Eighth Route Army who is proficient in this way.

For the sake of caution, Yamazaki Zhihei did not continue to advance rashly, but ordered the troops to rest in place, and only sent a reconnaissance team to scout the surrounding terrain and conditions...

About an hour and a half passed.

Several devil scouts hurried back from the front.

The leading sergeant came to the front of Yamazaki Zhihei and gave a sudden pause, and reported: "Report to your Excellency, Captain, we found a village 3 kilometers ahead, but there are many people in this village besides ordinary people. The wounded of the Eighth Route Army of China, this seems to be the field hospital and logistics unit of the Eighth Route Army of China..."

"The field hospital and logistics unit of China's Army Tuba Road? Yoshi! Where is the target now?"

After listening to his subordinate's report, Yamazaki Zhihei's eyes showed an undisguised bloodthirsty fierce light, and he looked like a hyena smelling blood.

"Hurry up, let's lead the way!"

"Hi Yi!"

The Devil Sergeant nodded again, and then quickly ran forward with Yamazaki Zhihei.

Half an hour later, Yamazaki Zhihei signaled the troops to stop, and he followed the scout Sergeant Cao and ran up the nearby slope.

After a while, Yamazaki Jihei climbed to the top of the slope, looked around, and the vision ahead suddenly became clear.

"Yo Xi!"

The corner of Yamazaki Zhihei's mouth rose slightly, showing a sneering smile like a wild wolf. In order to avoid being discovered, the old devil immediately lay down in a position with a wide view, and then raised his binoculars to look out!

in the field of view of the telescope.

At the foot of the soil slope about 1 km away, there is a small village with low earth-embryo houses built in rows, one next to the other.

In the open space in front of the village, a large amount of gauze was drying on bamboo poles, and some medical staff and women were washing various medical supplies in the small river in front of the village.

At the entrance of the village and around it stood some soldiers in the uniform of the Eighth Route Army standing guard.

"Yoxi! This is indeed a field hospital on Zhina Tuba Road, and it doesn't look like there are many guard posts. God help me!"

Then, Yamazaki Zhihei slowly moved the telescope, and his eyes fell on the side and rear of the village, near a cave building.

Compared with the field hospital, there were many more soldiers of the Eighth Route Army coming in and out of the cave, and several donkey carts and horse-drawn carts were parked nearby.

The security around the cave dwellings was also stricter. There were guard posts everywhere, as well as patrol soldiers and mobile posts of the Eighth Route Army, patrolling back and forth around.

However, despite the strict security of the Eighth Route Army, the sentries of the patrol did not notice the arrival of the devil troops at all.

No, it cannot be said that it was not found.

Because the Eighth Route Army also deployed some outposts on the nearby hills, but unfortunately, these outposts had been wiped out by well-trained devil scouts long ago.

Therefore, Yamazaki Zhihei was able to lead the troops here quietly.

"Yo Xi! The Eighth Route Army below is really a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!"

Although Yamazaki Zhihei has a brutal personality, he has a very strategic vision and tactical analysis ability.

Through the observation just now, he immediately judged that the cave building area should be an important logistics unit of the Eighth Route Army.

At least it is more important than a field hospital!
"If we hadn't lost our way in this mountainous area, we might not have been able to find the field hospital and logistics unit of China's Juntu Eighth Road. This is really a surprise!"

After Yamazaki Zhihei finished speaking excitedly, a stern look appeared on his face: "Give me an order, everyone is ready to fight immediately!"

After receiving the order, the devil soldiers on the mountainside quickly advanced 500 meters, and then began to seize a favorable position.

The machine gunner found a suitable commanding height, set up the machine gun skillfully, and the artillerymen established artillery positions one after another.

Although the Yamazaki Battalion was lightly loaded and did not carry heavy firepower weapons, it carried more than a dozen mortars of various calibers and a large number of grenade launchers, and their firepower should not be underestimated.

"Hurry up!"

"Ammunitionist, bring the shells here immediately!"

When the artillerymen assembled the mortars and established the artillery positions, the ghost gunners also carried boxes of shells and placed them next to the artillery positions.

After a while, a ghost captain quickly came to Yamazaki Zhihei with a saber in his hand, nodded abruptly, and reported: "Report to your Excellency, the artillery position has been set up, please give instructions!"

"Yo Xi!"

Yamazaki Zhihei nodded in satisfaction, and then came to the artillery position, drew out the sakan sword from his waist, and raised it forward vigorously, shouting like a hungry wolf: "Warriors of the empire, start your massacre!"

Things like massacres are addictive. After massacring once, you will think about the second, third time...

Especially for those who suffer from battlefield depression, once the animal nature in the soul is released, it can never be taken back.

Unless you die!

When the Devil Artillerymen heard the order, bloodthirsty lights like wild beasts burst out of their eyes, and they picked up the grenades one after another, and stuffed them into the barrels without hesitation.

"Tom, tom tom tom!"

"Tom tom tom tom!—"

Gunpowder smoke rose, and more than a dozen grenades of various calibers dragged out of the hall with a hot tail flame, and bombarded the village 10 meters away.

"Boom, boom boom boom!"

The grenades exploded one after another, immediately blowing up the whole village into a sea of ​​flames.

The first to be attacked was the field hospital of the Eighth Route Army and the nearby sentinel positions.

The Devil Artillery was very well-educated, and their attacks were very precise. Many shells landed near the Eighth Route Army's sentry posts and firepower fortifications.

"Ah! Ah ah ah!"

Caught off guard, the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the post and firework were blown out with their guns.

After clearing the firepower fortifications of the Eighth Route Army, the firepower of the Devil Artillery began to extend to the field hospital.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!—"

Dense grenades, wave after wave, fell near the field hospital.

But what I saw was that adobe houses collapsed in the flames, and all kinds of soil and rubble were scattered and scattered everywhere along with the explosion shock wave.

The most serious thing is that some medical equipment in the field hospital was also blown to pieces and fell apart.

Many wounded and sick were crushed among the collapsed ruins before they could evacuate and transfer.

The Eighth Route Army also responded very quickly. After the initial panic, they quickly calmed down.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Be careful of artillery fire, hide, hide quickly!!!"

Medical personnel and stretcher teams, under the enemy's artillery fire, risked their lives to rescue and transfer the wounded and sick from the field hospital.

"Don't mess up!"

"The defense team meets the enemy! Cover!"

"The rest, quickly take the wounded and sick to transfer!"

Suddenly attacked by the enemy, the medical staff in the field hospital and the soldiers of the garrison were not prepared at all.

In the chaos, they couldn't transfer all the wounded and sick for a while.

Devil artillery positions.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army fleeing in embarrassment after being bombed, Yamazaki Zhihei raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an undisguised sinister smile.

Immediately, he raised the Zuoguan Dao in his hand again and swung it in the direction of the Eighth Route Army Field Hospital.

"The artillery continues to attack!"

"Machine gun team suppresses firepower!"

"Infantry charge!"

"Attack, attack! Kill it!!!"

Immediately, thousands of devil infantry rushed forward all over the mountains and plains, shouting the slogan "onboard, onboard".

……

"Boom, boom!"

Eighth Route Army Field Hospital.

The shells fell continuously, without giving them a chance to breathe.

Some of the shells even landed at the feet of the medical staff and the sick and wounded, blowing them out...

After several rounds of bombing, the Devil Artillery Squadron began to adjust the shooting angle and extend the firepower towards the cave dwelling.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!—"

After several rounds of bombing, a large number of devil infantry also rushed to the position only a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the village.

The conditions of the Eighth Route Army were difficult and the logistics were weak. After they won the battle, not only the damaged guns, but also the shell casings and bullets dropped on the battlefield would be picked up, and then brought back to the arsenal for repair and reassembly.

And this cave is one of the few arsenals of the Eighth Route Army. The main task is to repair damaged guns, reload bullets, and produce wooden handle grenades.

From the perspective of the national army or the Japanese army, this kind of factory that can't even produce guns and ammunition can't be called an arsenal at all, it can be regarded as a small workshop at most.

But for the Eighth Route Army, which has no industrial foundation, it can definitely be regarded as the treasure of treasures.

Therefore, when attacked, the guards of the arsenal did not choose to retreat, but took the initiative to meet them.

"Comrades, go to the entrance of the village immediately and stop these bastards!"

"Director Liu has already called his superiors for help, as long as he persists until the reinforcements arrive, then these little devils will die!"

Wang Sheng was the company commander of the garrison company of the arsenal. While running forward with a Mauser pistol, he shouted orders.

"Stone Bridge, blow up that Stone Bridge!"

"Yes, company commander!"

The two Eighth Route Army soldiers promised, and each carried a 20-jin explosive package and ran towards the bottom of the stone bridge.

And Wang Sheng led the rest of the Eighth Route Army soldiers to rely on the favorable terrain nearby to fortify, trying to intercept the little devil on the other side of the small river in front of him.

Amidst the soul-stirring shouts of killing, the army of devils quickly arrived.

"Hit, give me a hard hit!"

The soldiers of the garrison company didn't have time to build the fortifications, they all lay down on the ground, pulled the triggers and fired, firing hot bullets at the oncoming little devil.

"Crack, clap clap clap!"

"Da da da, ta da da da!——"

Amid the dense gunfire, more than a dozen little devils who rushed in front of them fell to the ground.

At the same time, the devil's mortar shells and machine gun bullets rained down on the garrison company on the other side of the river.

The powerful firepower temporarily defeated the Eighth Route Army of the garrison company without any power to fight back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the devil infantry ran towards the stone bridge not far away while firing to suppress it.

"Boom! Boom!"

As soon as the devil's vanguard rushed to the stone bridge, the two explosive packages placed at the bottom of the bridge exploded.

The stone bridge collapsed in the flames of the explosion that shot up into the sky, and countless stones flew in all directions along with the shock wave of the explosion.

The five or six devil soldiers who rushed up the stone bridge were killed by the strong explosion shock wave on the spot, and their bodies fell into the river under the bridge.

Unfortunately, however, the river is not wide and the water is not urgent.

The stone bridge was blown up. After the initial stupefaction, the ghost soldiers quickly showed sinister smiles on their faces, and then they all descended from the gentle place to the river bed, stepped on the knee-deep river water, and rushed towards the opposite bank ...

Seeing that his subordinates were about to rush across the small river, Yamazaki Zhihei couldn't help showing a bright smile like a chrysanthemum on his face, and then he turned around and called the chief of staff and the communications soldier.

"Immediately sent electricity to the Wing and Brigade Headquarters, saying that our department had an unexpected harvest in the direction of Heifeng Mountain, destroyed the field hospital of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army of China, severely damaged the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and wiped out more than 1000 enemies... "

In order to claim credit, Yamazaki Zhihei reported half truths and half lies.

Fortunately, the old devil didn't know that the cave was an arsenal for the Eighth Route Army, otherwise he didn't know how to report it.

It seems that not only the national army likes to make great achievements, but also the little devils.

Hearing Yamazaki Zhihei's words, the captain's chief of staff frowned, and said, "Your Excellency, Captain, the battle is not over yet, so it's too early for us to send a good news?"

Yamazaki Haruhira's face sank, and he asked nonchalantly: "Murakami-kun, according to you, do you think the imperial army will be defeated?"

Seeing Yamazaki Zhiping's displeasure, the devil's chief of staff hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Don't dare to be humble!"

Yamazaki Zhihei shouted again: "In this case, then immediately send the report according to my intention, and let the brigade leader and the joint leader receive the joy of victory in advance!!!"

"Hi Yi!"

The devil's chief of staff nodded heavily, and then instructed the communication soldiers next to him to set up the radio station, and sent the telegram according to the wishes of the captain Yamazaki Zhihei...
