Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Chapter 147 Exposure
While the units of the Eighth Route Army were rushing to build the blocking positions, the second battalion, the second company and the third company of the Red Police Force also changed into the uniforms and weapons of the Eighth Route Army under the order of Zhang Shijie and hurried over.

Although the Red Police Force has replaced outdated weapons and equipment, it is still much stronger than the Eighth Route Army in terms of heavy firepower configuration.

When the little devils attacked, it was impossible for Zhang Shijie to let the Eighth Route Army stand in front of him and watch the show by himself.Although the Eighth Route Army at this time has undergone earth-shaking enhancements in firepower, it does not have enough technical arms to support it, and the heavy firepower supported by Zhang Shijie has no way to fully exert it.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion and Second Company of the Red Police Force supplemented the technical arms of the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, allowing the Eighth Route Army's massive heavy firepower to be effectively utilized.

The PLA soldiers recruited at the Red Police Base are not only powerful in terms of weapons and equipment, but also the quality of personnel is the top group of this era.

Now the team entering the ambush position has become three regiments of the 386th Brigade, plus two companies of the Red Police Force.There is also a 386 brigade artillery battalion in the rear for fire support.

Judging from the current strength of the troops, not to mention the two brigades of the little devils, even if there is one regiment, the brigade commander and Zhang Shijie are confident that they will be crushed to death here.

The area where the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the Red Police Force ambushed was the only way to the Hejiagou stronghold, and it was also the burial place chosen by Zhang Shijie and the brigade commander for these little devils.

At this time, the Japanese troops who were preparing to set off in the county were finally ready, but they were four hours behind the original scheduled departure time.

No way, the puppet soldiers who learned that they were going to fight began to delay after receiving the order.

In the process of carrying out the sweeping mission, the Japanese army's demand for the puppet army is very necessary.Most of the little devils can't speak Chinese, and the overall number is not as large as that of ordinary people.Therefore, every time the devils carry out a sweeping mission, a certain number of puppet troops are required to cooperate.And in the event of an attack, the puppet army can also block bullets.

But in the eyes of the little devil, these puppet army traitors are also unreliable.

If it wasn't for the captain of the Devils Alliance finding out that this group of puppet troops was too rough-and-tumble, so he shot several traitors angrily, it is estimated that the departure time of the Devils' mopping up troops would be delayed for a long time.

The little devils were so busy all night, and finally early the next morning, the devils in charge of mopping up started from the county seat and headed for the Hejiagou stronghold.

As the vanguard of the entire sweeping force, there were a dozen cavalrymen of the devils and a battalion of the puppet army.

The puppet cavalry battalion was also the first to enter the ambush circle.

Zhang Shijie and the brigade commander also saw the vanguard troops sent by the little devils in the periscope of the combat headquarters, so they began to discuss the ambush countermeasures.

"Brother, let's let this cavalry battalion go first, and then send troops with machine guns and heavy firepower to kill this group of cavalry after the main force of the devils arrives! Most of them are puppet troops, as long as these little devils get rid of them The waves can't even turn over."

The brigade commander nodded when he heard the words, and agreed to Zhang Shijie's method.

The Chinese battlefield during World War II may be the last battlefield where cavalry can exert its own combat effectiveness.

Compared with infantry, cavalry has a considerable speed advantage, but due to the huge size of the target, it will greatly increase its own casualties when encountering the enemy's intensive firepower.In the Chinese battlefield during this period, the firepower density was generally insufficient. Whether it was the Chinese army or the little devils, they could rely on cavalry to exert considerable advantages in field battles.

However, on the European battlefield during the same period, the cavalry was very weak on the battlefield when faced with the enemy's intensive automatic firepower.Often when a large-scale cavalry unit is charging, facing dense automatic firepower usually results in very heavy casualties.Cavalry does not have the speed advantage of armor protection, and is also greatly weakened by automatic firepower.And when the cavalry faced the armored forces, it was more like a one-sided massacre.

Due to the progress of the times, the cavalry is currently on the verge of being eliminated.Therefore, the Red Police Force still does not have the establishment of a cavalry force.

Just after the brigade commander and Zhang Shijie's combat orders were conveyed, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the Red Police Force quietly waited for the puppet cavalry battalion to pass, and continued to hide in order to achieve the purpose of a surprise attack on the main force of the little devil.

But the Eighth Route Army is not the People's Liberation Army after all.

A recruit from the 386th Regiment of the 16th Brigade who had just joined the army was very nervous at this time. Since this was his first time on the battlefield, under the heavy pressure of a large number of cavalry on the battlefield, the soldier accidentally pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

A gunshot broke the calm of the entire valley.

This is the most realistic combat situation in actual combat!
On the battlefield, there will always be many unstable factors, and unexpected things will always happen at any time.

After hearing the gunshot, the soldiers of the Red Police Force and the veterans of the Eighth Route Army immediately understood that their actions this time had been exposed.So without further ado, he launched a fierce fire attack on the cavalry battalion in the ambush circle!

Zhang Shijie, on the other hand, held his forehead and sighed after hearing the gunshot.

"Standing on horses! The ambush has become a positional battle!"

After hearing the gunshots outside, the brigade commander couldn't help but patted the table of the headquarters, and then issued a new combat order: "Order the troops to wipe out all the puppet cavalry as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the strategic intention of the Eighth Route Army has been exposed this time, the brigade commander can only order to make up for it as soon as possible.

But this group of devils and puppet soldiers were not stupid. After hearing the gunshot, they quickly turned around and prepared to escape from the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Eighth Route Army used intensive firepower to intercept this group of cavalry, the current Eighth Route Army's main weapon is still bolt-action firepower, so several devils and puppet troops escaped from the ambush circle.

Most of the few people who ran out were puppet soldiers. After all, the ability of the second devil to escape is beyond doubt.

"Damn it! Who fired that gun just now?!" the battalion commander of the 16th Regiment asked angrily after finishing killing the cavalry.

"The battalion... the battalion commander... I fired the shot just now."

A little soldier from the second company replied in shame.

The first battalion commander looked at this soldier who was at most twelve or thirteen years old and sighed, then scolded the second company commander angrily and told him to take care of his soldiers.So he ordered the troops to prepare for the little devil's attack.

Since the location of the ambush position has been exposed, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army now have to face the little devil's attack head-on.

This is not a good thing for the Eighth Route Army, after all, a frontal attack means a lot of casualties.

Brigadier Zhang Shijieke couldn't help sighing when he saw the current situation from the periscope of the command post. The biggest advantage of the Eighth Route Army in this battle against the Japanese army was that the enemy launched an ambush against the Japanese army.

However, because the Eighth Route Army opened fire first in the face of the vanguard of the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army has now lost its greatest advantage.If it was placed in the past, the brigade commander would immediately order the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then evacuate.

But now that the Eighth Route Army has been strengthened by the firepower of the Red Police Force, it is confident to fight head-on against the little devils from the two brigades!
At this time, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were on standby, waiting for the attack of the main force of the Japanese army.The Second Battalion and Second Company scattered among the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army serving as professional and technical arms, and the Second Battalion and Third Company conducting independent defense missions were also quickly ready for combat at this time, quietly waiting for the arrival of the little devil.

The cavalry of the Japanese puppet army who escaped by chance also hurriedly reported to their main force what had just happened.

After learning that the cavalry battalion as the vanguard was ambushed, the captains of the two devils breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the previous experience of fighting with Zhang Shijie's Red Police Force, as long as the target of this force's ambush is below the brigade level, no one has ever been able to escape alive.And according to the reports of the escaped Japanese and puppet soldiers, the Chinese army that was ambushing on the opposite side was wearing the gray uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, not the army green and three red dots that frightened the little devil every night.

After learning that the enemy on the opposite side was just a group of dirtbags, the captain of the little devil suddenly let go of a huge boulder hanging in his heart.

Later, the captain issued an order: "Send a report to Your Excellency, Captain, and inform that the army that attacked the Locust Alliance Army is a unit of the Eighth Route Army. The first and second infantry brigades will follow the original plan. attack."

"Hay!"

Another ghost captain suddenly remembered something, and then asked the ghost soldier who had stolen back: "Mr. Nakamura, during the fight with this group of eight routes, did you hear any strange gunshots?"

The little devil thought about it carefully and replied: "Your Excellency, Captain, judging from the sound of the gunshots, the weapons and equipment used by the opponent are all standard equipment produced by the China Army and the brother country, and there is no sound of other weapons."

The captain immediately nodded and said hard work to the ghost soldier.Then he led the troops towards the unknown mountain as the only way to Hejiagou.

"Matsui-kun, you are too cautious!"

"Of course, we must be more cautious. If it is really that army, you and I and the locust soldiers under our command may all die here."

With regard to Zhang Shijie's Red Police Force, the First Army already had a clear consensus: Japanese troops below the brigade encountered this force as if they were sent to death.

The Eighth Route Army, which originally carried out ambushes on the mountains, immediately switched to a positional battle layout after its combat intentions were exposed.

An hour later, nearly 5000 Japanese and puppet troops finally appeared within the sight of the Eighth Route Army and the Red Police Force.

A frontal battle between the Eighth Route Army and the little devil is about to begin.

"Command the troops, prepare to fight!"
