Chapter 143 Re-engraving the Classic Tactics
Because it is a mountain forest, the terrain inside is particularly complicated, and there are deserters from the Eighth Route Army. If you advance rashly like this, you will definitely be blocked when you encounter an ambush. Captain Ikeda and Captain Hayama are even more afraid that if they continue to divide their troops, they will be caught by the deserters of the Eighth Route Army. To be eaten, to be on the safe side, the two teams joined forces.

As for the situation on the front battlefield, they have already made a judgment. The exchange of fire has stopped, and the communication of the three teams has also been cut off. Ikeda and Hayama judged that the warriors of the three teams of Oda, Tianjian and Ikegami should all be broken.

Because they were not sure whether the Chinese people were in an ambush inside, Ikeda and Hayama stopped, not daring to continue marching forward for the time being.

But it’s not enough to spend so much, the group of Chinese people in the command post of the raid captain must be wiped out.

Ikeda asked a class of devils to investigate. The devils of this class did not dare to go deep. They just took a look at the battlefield where the fire had been exchanged just now, and the devils of this class immediately felt panic, anger, doubt and other emotions in their hearts. Dumbfounded, what did these three teams go through, so that they were wiped out here in such a short period of time?How many people were there in the fleeing Chinese army? Was it a battalion or a regiment? It probably wasn't a battalion that wiped out a search team composed of three teams so quickly.

At this moment, a groan suddenly came from the edge of the battlefield. Although it was not very loud, it was real. All the devils in the search team heard it. Ren took the wounded soldier and ran back to report to Ikeda and Zaoshan.

After seeing the wounded soldier, Ikeda immediately sent someone to take him for treatment. After hearing the squad's report, although Ikeda and Hayama, who had already made a judgment, were a little confused.

"Nani??"

According to the description of the squad that went to reconnaissance, the attacks suffered by the warriors of the empire were quite brutal. Ikeda and Hayama were a little confused. The pursuers they were chasing were only a battalion, which was equivalent to the strength of a squadron of the empire. Could there be such a fierce firepower?

Is this an ambush encountered by the troops who responded to this deserter?Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why all the warriors in a squadron of the empire were destroyed in such a short period of time.

But the Chinese did not clean up the battlefield, which surprised Ikeda and Zaoshan. How could the Eighth Route Army give up the opportunity to clean up the battlefield?There was only one explanation. They were in a hurry and wanted to ask about the specific situation of the wounded soldier at that time, but before Ikeda and the others asked, the wounded soldier who was brought back died due to excessive blood loss and could not be rescued.

"Haoshan-kun, what do you think?"

Seeing Ikeda throwing the question over, Yuki Hayayama pondered for a moment and said: "This group of nasty Chinese people raided the command post of the regiment captain and killed the regiment deputy. This is a provocation to the empire! We must take this All the troops of the Chinese are wiped out!"

"Mr. Ikeda, even if there is an ambush, we have to charge forward. Don't forget, this is the pursuit order personally issued by the regiment captain. If we don't get results, the consequences will be serious!"

Ikeda didn't expect Zaoshan to be so persistent, so he said in a deep voice: "But Mr. Zaoshan, don't forget that this place is not far from the position of the Chinese people, and our troops are not many. A squadron broke into the periphery of the Chinese position very dangerous!"

Hearing what Ikeda said, Hayayama sneered and said: "Mr. Ikeda, this place is still tens of kilometers away from the outermost edge of the Chinese position. The battle just ended, why would the Chinese send out troops to guard the periphery? Ikeda and other teams All the pieces of jade are caught in the trap, and in such a short period of time, the Chinese will not and will not have time to set up a second trap, nor will they fight two identical ambushes in the same place!"

"Ikeda-kun, will you fight two ambush battles at the same place?"

Asked by Hayayama, Ikeda really hesitated, yes, why did the Chinese people have such a stupid ambush twice before they could escape?Isn't this a complete waste of the chance of escape?
In fact, the tactic of the second ambush has been used long ago, and it happened in October [-]. The commander of that battle was Liu Shichang, the first and second commander of the Eighth Route Army. It is a very famous ambush in Qi*gen* village in later generations.

At that time, the [-]st, [-]nd and [-]th brigades of the Eighth Route Army arrived in the Pingding area of ​​Shanxi. At that time, the Japanese army was storming Niangziguan.In order to effectively control the parallel road south of Zhengtai Road, the little devil must step up the transportation of troops and food along the small road from Jingxing to Pingding.In view of this, Chief Liu planned to fight a battle in Qigen Village to restrain the Japanese army's roundabout attack and cover Niangzi Guanyou's army.

The reason for choosing Qigen Village is that it is the only place to pass from Jingxing to Pingding. From Qigen Village to the east to Shimen, it happens to be a ten-mile canyon. The depth of the valley is tens of meters, and the bottom width is less than three meters. The terrain is very steep , is the ideal ambush battlefield.

After on-the-spot investigation, Commander Liu immediately ordered the No. [-] Regiment to stand by near Qigen Village. He wanted to teach the little devils a good lesson here and teach them how to fight.

At dawn on October 26, under the cover of more than 300 infantry, the Japanese army's supply troops in Ceyu Town marched westward.At about nine o'clock, the little devil entered the ambush area.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were in ambush let go of the Devil's vanguard and suddenly launched a fire attack on its own team.Because the terrain was so conveniently selected, the machine guns and rifles on the top of the steep slope poured bullets into the crowd of Japanese soldiers in a "squeaky" manner, and the grenades only needed to open the safety cover and drop them vertically.So the little devils immediately slammed into each other like wasps that had exploded their nests. Many of them died and were injured, and many of them were squeezed out of the deep ditch.

After a short and violent fire attack, the soldiers bravely jumped into the enemy group with the sound of killing, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.

More than two hours later, the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing gradually subsided.Except for a few little devils who fled back to Ceyu Town, all the rest were wiped out.In this battle, more than [-] members of the Japanese [-]th Regiment's transport team were wiped out, and more than [-] mules and horses were seized, as well as a batch of military supplies.

However, on the day of the ambush, Yi Er received information again that the Japanese army on the west section of Zhengtai Road was moving eastward, and the Japanese army on the right wing of Niangziguan was also continuing to copy to Jiuguan.Chief Liu knew very well that the intention of the Japanese army was to rush through Zhengtai Road and threaten Taiyuan from behind.Based on this, he judged that Qigen Village would still be the only way for the Japanese army to advance, because there was no other way.

From the analysis of the current combat characteristics of the Japanese army, they are very arrogant after repeated victories. They usually use a lot of energy to stubbornly rush towards the predetermined target, ignoring some small losses.

Moreover, according to the principle of "Use troops never to return", they never imagined that the Eighth Route Army would repeatedly set up ambushes at the same location.Therefore, he resolutely decided to give the Japanese army a sudden blow in Qigen Village.

In order to confuse the Japanese army, when the Japanese army sent troops to Qigen Village to collect the corpses on the [-]th, Commander Liu asked the main force of the No. [-] Diqiqi Regiment to pretend to retreat in front of the Japanese army, creating the illusion that Qigen Village was unguarded.In fact, the [-]rd Battalion of the [-]nd Qiqi Regiment circled around and came back, gathering in the mountainous area south of the diversion temple road in the west of Qigen Village.

One day later, the enemy's supply troops came along the same route, with more than 100 cavalry and more than 300 infantry as cover.After all, they had suffered a lot, so they stepped up their search and vigilance along the way, and fired shells at suspicious places.When they arrived near Qigen Village, they became more cautious and repeatedly shelled the village inside and outside the village.The commanders and fighters of the 3rd Battalion of the [-]nd Qiqi Regiment hid in bushes, grass and stone holes, calm and calm, and did not fire a single shot.

At about eleven o'clock, the Japanese army entered the ambush area.The machine guns and rifles of the [-]rd Battalion of the [-]nd Diqiqi Regiment rang out together, forming a tight fire net.This time the little devil was mentally prepared, and organized resistance on the spot when he encountered a blow.The [-]rd Battalion attacked bravely even though its strength was not superior, cutting the Japanese army into two sections.Because the second battalion in charge of reinforcements failed to arrive on time due to rain and slippery roads, the third battalion failed to wipe out the enemy.At dusk during the battle, the enemy broke out in the dimness of night, some of them fled westward to Pingding, and most of them retreated eastward to Ceyu Town.

In this ambush, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed and dozens of mules and horses were seized.In this battle, the enemy was restrained, and more than a thousand people trapped in the south of Jiuguan were rescued from the encirclement of the enemy.

In the same place, two ambushes were set up three days later, and the same powerful enemy was successfully ambushed and won a complete victory. This is rare in the history of war.

The tactics of "overlapping ambush" are not recorded in the art of war, and he broke the principle of "use troops without recovery".

Compared with the ambush in Qigen Village, the battlefield in front of us is more beneficial to Xiaomi, Chen Feng and others. First of all, the little devil never thought that Chen Feng, Xiaomi and others would stay in place and wait for them after ambushing the three teams , plus there are corpses all over the ground as bait, how could the little devil not take the bait, plus the little devil is so close to them now, even if they retreat immediately, the little devil can catch up to them soon, instead of being passively beaten , might as well just fuck the fuck out of here!
"Shi Lei taught you this tactic?"

Seeing the ghosts not far away stopped, Chen Feng, who was a little uncertain, said to Xiaomi.

"Well, the leader taught me." Xiaomi nodded while staring at the devil in front of him.

Chen Feng understood, it really was him, he was worthy of being that guy's personal soldier, and he was the one who taught him to do such crazy things.

Ikeda was persuaded by Hayashi, and after thinking about it, Ikeda also felt that he had considered too much and was too cautious. Looking at the corpses of the imperial warriors on the battlefield ahead, Ikeda asked: "Then it's up to Hayashi-kun You are in command."

Zao Shan was taken aback, and thought, "Sly fellow." '

"go ahead!"

Seeing the little devils enter the battlefield, Xiaomi let out a mouthful of turbidity that was suppressed in his heart. To be honest, he was not sure that the devils would continue to chase down and take the initiative to enter the ambush circle, but it didn't matter, the devils had already entered, then Just treat them well.

As the little devils entered, Xiaomi gave the order to fire.

"beat!"

At the same time, fierce gunshots sounded from the front, left, and right sides of the battlefield at the same time!

The moment the gun rang, Ikeda and Hayama realized that it was over, and immediately prepared to order the soldiers under their command to withdraw from the battlefield immediately.

However, before Zaoshan gave the order to retreat, he felt a sharp pain between his brows, and then his strength seemed to be drained, and he collapsed on the ground.

The distance between Ikeda and Hayayama was quite far, he didn't see that Hayayama was killed, so he hurriedly ordered to retreat and counterattack, but it was too late for the devils who had already entered the ambush circle to retreat.

Soon, the little devils in the ambush circle suffered heavy losses and countless casualties!
However, when entering the battlefield, the soldiers of the little devils subconsciously maintained a certain degree of vigilance, so many soldiers fell to the ground to fight back the first time the gun was fired, and some of the little devils were even about to die. Or the bodies of wounded comrades piled up for cover and counterattacked.

The little devil's combat effectiveness is still very strong, and casualties will inevitably and unavoidably occur in wars.

Fortunately, the casualties of the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment and the Sharp Knife Company did not last long. The strength of the inverted triangle ambush formation is reflected here. No matter how powerful the prey is, as long as it is surrounded, there is not much room for resistance. You can fight back desperately in one direction, but under the 360-degree hunting of the inverted triangle with no dead ends, even the army of Japan, which is as strong as the number one power in East Asia, is useless.

During nearly 10 minutes of fighting time, all the devil soldiers of a squadron who broke into the ambush circle fell into a pool of blood!

So far, the two devil squadrons chasing Xiaomi and Chen Feng were completely wiped out.

After counting the casualties, Xiaomi and Chen Feng immediately led the soldiers to retreat to the Xiaowangzhuang position after a brief cleaning of the battlefield. They ambushed twice and knocked out the two squadrons of the devils. Such good luck does not happen often, nor Maybe we will meet again, even if we meet a little devil, a team of Xiaomi won’t fight anymore, the ammunition has already been used up, and there is no way to fight this battle without supplies. Although there are captured, but I am used to Thompson and Garland The German and Enfield rifles are not so popular anymore. It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

Xiaomi and the others quickly evacuated, and news of the loss of contact between the two teams of Ikeda and Hayama who pursued and raided the headquarters of the Sato Regiment soon reached the ears of Matsui and Mori.

Matsui and Mori were surprised when they received the news that Ikeda and Hayama Squadron had lost contact. How could it be?After confirming that they had lost contact, the two still had an unreal feeling. It was obvious what the loss of contact meant. However, the deserters of the Chinese people did not have the strength of a battalion. How could it be?

The troops of the escaped Chinese were very powerful, and the two squadrons of the garrison headquarters were beaten up and disabled by them, but the Chinese also suffered casualties. Even if it was a full battalion, they carried The ammunition they carry is also numerous, how could it be possible for the two squadrons to lose contact so quickly?This is not in line with common sense!
The loss of contact between the two squadrons is not a trivial matter. Neither Matsui nor Mori dared to lie about it. Matsui found Mori and the two met and decided to search for it first. After the information was confirmed, he would report to Captain Sato.

Matsui and Maori led a small team each and quickly headed towards the battlefield in the forest. They wanted to see how the elite imperial warriors under their command were wiped out without even sending out a call for help!
