Chapter 231
Faced with the harsh weather conditions and the blocking of the Red Police Force, the Japanese army was beaten to the point of losing their temper.

The journey from Hefei to Fengyang was full of red police tactics. It was not until they suffered a large number of casualties that they successfully reached the planned attack position.

From the time the Japanese troops began to gather to the time they arrived at the offensive position, the number of Japanese troops was reduced from more than 10 at the beginning to more than 8.

Except for the nearly [-] Japanese killed in the bombing, the rest of the Japanese casualties were all caused by the harassment of the Red Police troops.

And due to the harassment operations of the Red Police Force, the Japanese Third Division, which originally suffered fewer casualties than the Japanese No. 13 Division, once showed signs of overtaking its casualties during the battle.

On the night when the Japanese army arrived, the Red Police Force's airport was officially completed. Attack aircraft from two groups in Dagushan and one group of fighter jets also arrived in the Fengyang Mountain area as soon as the airport was completed.

Due to the small size of the airport in the Fengyang Mountain direction, the supply and support capability for combat aircraft is also much poorer, so it can only operate three groups of fighter jets.

Of course, there are also a large number of transport aircraft coming here to replenish equipment and supplies.

The construction militiamen responsible for building the airport were incorporated into the logistics support department and combat repair department of the Red Police Force in accordance with wartime requirements.

After the mission was completed, the engineering companies of the two infantry battalions immediately replenished the minefields originally set up by the infantry, and arranged them according to the previous minefields targeting the traffic lines in Jiaokou County.

The Red Police Force plans to repeat the same trick on the little devil!

Since the two Japanese troops were geographically far apart, and the Japanese army was going to conduct offensive operations this time, Jiang Wen was not worried that the little devils would not fall victim to the attack.

In addition to two battalions of integrated troops, the current Fengyang Mountain area also has a large number of militiamen and more than 1000 mobilization troops who landed in the air in the past two days.

In terms of military strength, the number of troops in Fengyang area has reached nearly 2, and there is also a battalion of the Red Police Force led by Wang Yu in the Shandong direction. Facing more than 8 Japanese troops, the victory of the Red Police Force There is basically no suspense anymore.

As a result, Jiang Wen, who served as the commander-in-chief on the Fengyang Mountain front line, also began to make arrangements for the next battle.

"Order the 306th and 406th companies and the airborne supplementary troops to station in the direction of Coffin Mountain and Laofang Mountain, and rely on the terrain to defend the Japanese troops in the direction of Bengbu and Huainan. The 301st, 302nd, 304th, and 305th companies will be stationed from Banshan Mountain to Xiaojinshan. , to deal with the Japanese No. 13 Division in the direction of Chuzhou. Except for the 406th Company, all the troops of the fourth battalion were stationed in Jiutiaolong to garrison in the Daguoshan area, to deal with the Japanese 303rd Division in the direction of Hefei, and to prevent the Japanese Cavalry Brigade in Huainan Movement in this direction. The troops of the armored battalion temporarily assembled in the valley, and after the Japanese troops completed the day's attack, they moved forward from Jiuziaolong and attacked the Japanese troops in a counterclockwise direction. The [-]rd Company was stationed as a general reserve force. Dawangshan is preparing to provide support, are all units aware of this?!"

"clear!"

As Jiang Wen's order was issued, the red police troops stationed in Fengyang Mountain were divided into the eastern, northern and southwest battlefields based on the response direction of the garrison.

And because the Red Police troops have already been mobilized and are waiting for work, the construction of civil fortifications and defensive positions on all fronts has been quite complete.

The one-day attack time left for the Japanese army was also to let the little devils consume their energy and fighting will, and at the same time let them know the solidity of the red police force's defensive position, so that the Japanese army could misjudge the red police force's combat intentions.

In fact, it was not a misjudgment. From the beginning, the Japanese army's tactical goal was to completely annihilate the Red Police Force in Fengyang Mountain. However, they never thought that the Red Police Force's true combat intention was to annihilate them.

According to the current situation, even if the Japanese Red Police Force's combat intentions were told to the Japanese army, the little Japanese would not believe it!
Since he did not know the information about the red police force's defense changes and troop replenishment, the little devil still believed that the red police force in Fengyang Mountain was still the same force of less than 1 people before.

And in their understanding, the Red Police Force of less than 1 people will definitely suffer a considerable number of casualties and attrition after previous battles, so the current Japanese army is very confident about this Fengyang battle. .

After the deployment of the combat forces of the Red Police Force, the troops of the 386th Brigade Guard Regiment and the 771st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army finally arrived in the mountainous area north of Fengyang Mountain and began to rest and recuperate.

As a unit trained by Zhang Shijie under the 3862 plan to strengthen the combat power of the Eighth Route Army, the 386 Brigade Guard Regiment has significantly improved its combat effectiveness after undergoing reorganization and training by the Red Police Force.

Although the infantry strength of the Guard Regiment has been reduced a lot, the addition of just one artillery battalion has pushed the combat effectiveness of the Guard Regiment beyond the reach of other Eighth Route Army units.

And because the guards are a strengthened regiment, perhaps before the Red Police Force's intensive training of the Eighth Route Army, only the 386 Brigade Independent Regiment, which lasted for one year, could compare.

Accompanying the Eighth Route Army in the war this time were staff officers from the training department of the Red Police Force.

The Eighth Route Army's participation in the war this time was not only to help the Red Police troops share the pressure, but also to test their combat effectiveness.

"Staff Wang, how many little devils are we targeting this time?" the head of the 386th Brigade Guard Regiment asked the staff officer of the Red Police Training Division.

"The target of this battle must be at least one Japanese army unit. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if there were too few?"

"What about the arrangements for the people of the 771st Regiment?"

"The 771st Regiment stayed in the rear to establish a base. Deputy Commander Jiang has enough troops. The main force in this battle is your guard regiment."

After hearing the words of Staff Officer Wang of the Red Police Force, the Eighth Route Army soldiers of the Guard Regiment immediately began to move toward the rear of the Japanese troops on the eastern front. They waited for the Red Police Force to launch a general offensive and besieged the Japanese troops in the rear to support the Red Police Force's operations.

While the Eighth Route Army was maneuvering, the Japs also began to build camps and build fortifications around the camps in accordance with their garrison regulations.

As the Japanese army's civil fortifications were completed, the offensive posture of the entire little devil began to gradually become clear.

According to the combat plan of the Japanese Army Command in the Nanjing area, the main offensive directions for this operation were the east and southwest directions. On the north line, due to terrain problems, the temporary divisions carried out containment work against the Red Police troops.

The little devil knew very well that the terrain in the Coffin Mountain area did not allow the Japanese army to attack safely, but as long as a certain scale of combat forces was deployed in this area, a large number of red police forces would be restrained, providing a way for the Third Division and No. .13 Division reduces offensive pressure.

The little devil's cavalry brigade was used as a fast mobile force to provide mobile support to the Japanese troops and harass the Red Police troops.

When the Japanese were building their headquarters, they deliberately placed telephone lines in each brigade to avoid radio interference from the Red Alert troops.Moreover, key locations such as headquarters, logistics support points, and troop assembly points were all placed back to avoid being covered by the artillery fire of the Red Police Force.

In terms of fortification construction, the Japanese army was eager to build their positions according to the mode of defensive operations, for fear that the Red Police troops would launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.

After all, according to the last reply from the first batch of besieging Japanese troops, the entire Red Police unit in the mountains completely lost contact after a counterattack.

Therefore, the little devils are particularly attentive to building fortifications for themselves.But the Red Police Force is not worried about this, but is happy to see the current situation of the Japanese army!
If the little devils are very attentive in the construction of fortifications, then when they are attacked by the Red Police Force, they will rely on the fortifications to defend to the greatest extent, and will not be driven all over the mountains and plains like a herd of wild boars.

Chasing these little Japanese skirmishers one by one is very troublesome and a waste of time.

And according to the investigation of the Red Police Force, judging from the construction of the Japanese defense positions, the other party did not know that the Red Police Force had a large amount of armor. After all, neither anti-tank cones nor anti-tank trenches were seen.

And the trenches used for anti-infantry are like playing in front of tanks!
Therefore, the Red Police Force was very pleased to see these little devils, so that the Red Police Force did not have to consider too many problems in terms of offense.

On defense, the Red Police troops used a triple method of mine arrays, artillery, underground tunnels, and defensive positions to resist the Japs' attack.

In the previous Battle of Fengyang Mountain, because the Red Police Force had the intention of attracting Japanese troops, these defense systems were not deployed. However, the way the battle is being conducted now has changed, and the Red Police Force does not need to risk the soldiers' lives. The combat intention has been completed.

The main task of the infantrymen conducting defensive operations this time is to hold the line of defense and reduce troop casualties as much as possible, without even pursuing killing the enemy.

The troops required to annihilate the enemy as much as possible are the armored troops responsible for offensive operations!

Early the next morning, the little devils finally began a small-scale exploratory attack on the Fengyang Mountain battlefield.

The first person to step into the defensive position of the Red Police Force was the Japanese No. 13 Division on the Eastern Front battlefield.

Due to previous combat experience, the Little Devils first sent a small team to conduct a tentative attack in the direction of Dajin Mountain.

If it is a red police force or mold, it must first use artillery fire to cover the target area, and conduct reconnaissance of the enemy's firepower according to the situation.

But after all, the little Japs are not as wealthy as the old Americans. For the army of an island country, artillery shells are also very precious. In the eyes of the Japs commander, a small team of Japs is not as valuable as a shell covered by a round of artillery fire.

At this time, a small team of Japanese soldiers carefully entered the mine array of the red police force under the watchful eyes of the large forces at the rear.

Just like in Jiaokou County, the soldiers of the Red Police Force still used programmable landmines.

For this kind of landmine, the little devils of the North China Front Army have encountered it, and there is no way to do anything about this kind of landmine.

After all, in their opinion, the principle and triggering method of this kind of landmine are really incredible, and the little devil who can't even guess the principle has no countermeasures at all.

The little devils in East China have never heard of such landmines.

After the Red Police troops fought against the Japs in Jiaokou County, these little Japs had already gone to the battlefield and knew very little about North China's intelligence.

Therefore, when faced with the current situation, these little devils did not notice anything unusual at all and continued to advance towards the depths of Dawang Mountain.

"boom!"

"Nani? Where's the explosion? What happened?" the Jaap captain in charge of Dajin Mountain asked in surprise at this time.

"Reporting to your Excellency, the captain, the team conducting the exploratory attack was ambushed by a mine in Dajin Mountain, and the entire Imp army was almost wiped out!"

"Mark where it is!"

In fact, this team was not completely wiped out. At this time, there were still a dozen little Japs wailing in pain in the minefield deployed by the Red Police Force.

What they triggered was an anti-infantry directional mine. Since the entire team was within the explosion range of the directional mine when the Japs triggered the mine, the Japs in the entire team were unable to escape and were all killed and injured.

But for other Japanese troops, no one would go deep into the minefield for a few wounded soldiers. They were of no use anymore, and it was really unreasonable to risk their lives for them.

At this time, the Captain of the Japanese Army felt confident when he saw the location of the Red Police mines, and then ordered: "Order the First Squadron to bring the engineering team to the minefield. The engineering team will carry out demining work as soon as possible, and the infantry squadron will be responsible for covering!" "

"Hay!"

What the little devil didn't know was that the place where the explosion had just occurred was already deep in a minefield. The landmines in Caizhong before were only programmable mines that were not triggered immediately.

Subsequently, a squadron of infantry and a small team of engineers, a total of more than 200 Japanese, entered the minefield again.

"It's a pity that one of the little Japs' squad was killed in one blow just now. I didn't expect that the Japs would have more troops. What a fucking windfall!" A sniper behind the minefield He said to his deputy.

The observer heard this and said easily: "Then let's start taking action against the little devil from this squadron!"

Behind the minefield, several sniper teams were conducting vigilance and observation on the advancing troops of the little Japanese.

The role of these snipers does not stop there. They are also responsible for assessing damage effects, performing artillery guidance and other tasks. Occasionally, they will fish in troubled waters and kill a few high-value targets of the Japanese with the addition of silencers.

And in the minefield, in order to achieve just the right level of controllability, the Red Alert soldiers also planted a batch of remotely controlled explosives.

Just after the Japs entered the minefield again, the Japs' engineering troops began to investigate the minefields in this area.

While the Japanese engineers were sorting out their equipment, an anti-infantry jumping mine jumped out of the open space between the Japanese engineers.
"Lie down!"

"boom!"
