The country is broken

"Boys, our arsenal doesn't have any good things, just use weapons and medicine! Enough!~" On the battlefield where he was preparing for battle, Lao Li greeted the soldiers of the secret service group and the arsenal guard company from time to time, as if he was bold It is like entertaining the big table with delicious food and wine, hoping that the guests will enjoy it in a good mood.

Indeed, among the major base areas that lack weapons and medicines, only the Huangyadong Arsenal dared to say that there is no limit to medicines. The Eighth Route Army headquarters dared to directly face the elite Japanese army twice its size with a regiment. Naturally, it also has its confidence side.

In order to warmly welcome the nearly 222 elite troops of the 4000nd Wing, which is known as the "Steel Wing" in the Japanese Army in North China, the Huangyadong No. [-] Armory Factory boldly arranged a warm welcome lineup with super luxurious weapons and equipment in the history of the Chinese Communist Army.

More than half of the secret service regiment plus a guard company, there are eight companies in total, and each company is equipped with three light machine guns on average. The first battalion of the secret service regiment on the main defensive position is a heavy machine gun company with six Maxim heavy machine guns. The positions, the second battalion and the third battalion each have a heavy machine gun platoon with two Ma Yunqin. You must know that the average army can be regarded as the main force if a battalion can afford one Ma Yunqin, and the defensive formation is also equipped with Mortar platoon, Type [-] infantry artillery platoon, and many new weapons newly developed by the arsenal.

Compared with Huangya Cave's defense force, almost half of the weapons and equipment were extremely arrogant and powerful weapons, which were extravagant to the extreme and luxurious to the extreme. [

Backed by an unprecedented abundance of weapons and medicines, the soldiers of the Secret Service Regiment and the Guard Company were all full of confidence. The little tension that was left in the past disappeared after the position was completely set up. There was even a little bit of anticipation, hope the devils Show up early so you can get a taste of their well-prepared, powerful meal.

"Oh, it would be great if the boss was here. If he saw this kind of scene, I think he would jump up for joy!" Zheng Tongfu, the new head of the technical department of Huangyadong No. [-] Arsenal, looked at the people on the battlefield with emotion.The hands and feet are still constantly directing the soldiers to set up the Type [-] infantry artillery, place the artillery reserve box, and practice tactical actions.

The main technicians and equipment of the arsenal have been moved to a safe place, and only some technical backbones are left to assist the soldiers in learning to use heavy weapons and arrange some special weapons and equipment.

Since the Secret Service Corps had spent a lot of energy on training its defensive capabilities, it was now fully utilized on the defensive position in front of Huangya Cave. The soldiers were consolidating the fortifications all the time, and seized the time to conduct emergency drills in case of emergencies.

"Report! The valley entrance of the target site has been found ahead. The suspension bridge has not been destroyed yet!" The scouts in front rode back to report the news. .

"Notify all the brigades to stop advancing, and form camps on the spot! Pay attention to concealment, and continue to send people to reconnaissance." Colonel Katsume Naoyuki ordered to stop the advance and let the soldiers prepare for the battle. Both the enemy and us knew that this battle was inevitable. In other words, the huge arsenal's equipment and resources could not be transferred quickly, and the multiple armies of both sides fought in the Taihang Mountains with the command capabilities of their respective high-level leaders.

Due to the continuous drought since the beginning of autumn in 1941 and the reduction in grain production after autumn, the Japanese and puppet troops and the soldiers and civilians in the base areas all wanted to survive the winter smoothly.Consume the opponent's vitality as much as possible.This battle was therefore inevitable.

The sun had already set in the west, and the drizzle in the cold wind that kept blowing across the mountains did not know when to carry scattered snowflakes, and you couldn't see your fingers around you.The brittle muddy surface, which was blown by the cold current from Siberia, was trampled muddy by a large number of people and horses.

In order to complete this combat mission, the North China Military Headquarters of the Japanese Army rarely mobilized the 36th Division, a main combat force at the level of the Japanese Army's Class A Division, to enter the CCP's Anti-Japanese Base Area to participate in the mopping up battle. The 222nd Division, which has the title of "Steel Brigade", The Wing is generally an elite force that is not easy to mobilize. Generally, such sweeping tasks are assigned to Type B divisions, mixed brigades or puppet brigades. The Eighth Route Army Arsenal is determined to win.

Completely different from ordinary Japanese troops, there was no bonfire in the barracks of the 222nd Regiment that was set up temporarily, and there was no chaos or harassment of the surrounding area. Inside the shack, they sat in neat rows on the ground.Silently distributing dry and hard bread to satisfy their hunger. Since entering the Taihang Mountain base area, life has suddenly become difficult. The local civilians and armed forces have done a thorough job of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields. Almost even the wells in a village just occupied have been filled. We can only rely on some dry food and ice water prepared in advance.

Looking at the luminous watch again, Katsume Naoyuki, who had just given the combat order, was anxiously waiting for the battle time to arrive. At this moment, the sky was completely covered by dark clouds, and everything was pitch black.The geographical advantage of Huangya Cave forced Captain Ge Mulian to resort to a sneak attack at night.

The soldiers of the 222nd Regiment of the Japanese Army were quietly waiting to enter the attack sequence. Similarly, on the position outside the Huangyadong Armory, the soldiers of the Secret Service Regiment were also quietly waiting, which was different from the situation where the Japanese army did not dare to light a fire for warmth. Yes, several large pots of chili minced meat soup are steaming in the karst cave of Huangyadong. The old way of the Red Army's long march across the Daxue Mountain is to pour a big mouthful of hot and spicy soup, all the cold and hunger are gone, and then soaked in a piece of dry bun, the cells of the whole body are exuding poor energy.

The pointer with luminous light was about to point to 12 o'clock, and the guard post of the Seventh Company of the Secret Service Regiment guarding the skyline of Nanshan Pass suddenly opened fire. A dozen figures in front of the position suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the position of the Seventh Company. The gunshots like the sound of big firecrackers were enveloped.

The light and heavy machine guns pulled out long tongues of flame and headed towards the positions of the enemy and us. The dim gun flames that burst out from the dark rifles from time to time all brought a sharp howl and rushed towards objects that seemed to be humanoid.

"We're fighting!" The head of the secret service team and Colonel Katsume Naoyuki were startled at the same time, with confident smiles on their faces.

"Covering shooting!" The Japanese artillery position near the suspension bridge outside the South Exit issued a firing command. In almost the same loud noise, a group of artillery roared away, blowing up a fireball near the suspension bridge, but the suspension bridge was not damaged at all.

The first round of shelling did not seem to have hurt the Eighth Route Army, but it cleared a passage through the minefields and defense facilities. The anti-engineering mines produced by the Huangyadong Arsenal are almost famous in the Jinchaji War Zone. They cleared mines in front of the arsenal It is almost impossible to imagine that the Japanese artillery would spend such a lot of time to quickly clear the mines with artillery, and it is not known whether they have been cleared.

"Deep coverage!" Seeing that his forward troops began to advance towards the Nanshan Pass, the artillery positions readjusted their shooting parameters in unison.

The narrow valley entrance has almost become a gate for one man, and no one can open it. The Taniguchi suspension bridge that has not been blown up in advance is playing an important role in attracting the enemy's attack route. The soldiers of the Seventh Company on the Nanshankou position only need to point their firepower at the suspension bridge. , easily blocked the Japanese offensive. The enemy who sneaked over just now was swept away just by rushing through the guard post, and the rest were stepped into the minefield and were torn to pieces. The Japanese sneak attack at night immediately became Blocking war. [

"Hehe, these little devils have a lot to do! Let's be more energetic!" The Seventh Company Commander, who was sitting on a Diaoyutai, leaned comfortably in the trench and watched the Japanese soldiers rushing over. Light machine guns can block the suspension bridge, and the minefields and muddy slopes in front of the position are not so easy to pass, and the solid fortifications are not so easy to be damaged by bombing.

Minefields, machine gun crossfire blockade, projectiles, rolling thunder, traps, without the scruples of drug consumption, the Seventh Company's position at the mouth of the Nanshan Valley exerted its full combat effectiveness, almost suppressing the Japanese offensive. The two sides were deadlocked near the suspension bridge. Repeatedly fighting for every inch of land.

Fierce gunfire rang until the sky turned white. The biggest result of the fierce Japanese battle overnight was only to occupy the suspension bridge.

"Huh?! What's the opinion?!" The seventh company commander was a little bit surprised when he heard a burst of sheep bleating towards the position, and with the light of the artillery fire and the glimmer of dawn, he saw a group of dark people in front of him who didn't know what was going on. Come across the drawbridge.

After looking through a binoculars for a while, the Qilian instructor said, "It seems like a sheep?!"

"Sheep?! What are you kidding the sheep here for?!" The Seventh Company Commander rubbed his head. Suddenly a mine was detonated in front of the position, and a sheep carcass flew up. The scene of the flock of sheep running around explained for the instructor!

"Hehe! It's purely full. Isn't this a supper for us?! A few of us led the sheep to the back, and there will be mutton to eat at noon!" A technician from the arsenal who was watching the battle was crooked. Mouth, "The weight of a sheep can't be thundered, it can detonate two anti-engineer mines at most, good, good, little Japan has a good conscience." The soldiers around were drooling at the same time.

"How's the flock of sheep in Lei Lei?! How's the progress of the bridge-building of the engineers~" Seeing that the troops touched in front were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, Colonel Ge Mu couldn't see any expression on his face.

"Report, the flock of sheep has entered the minefield!" A sergeant took over the battle report from a nearby messenger, "But the effect is not very good. The soldiers who followed the sheep were constantly killed and injured by mines. They just occupied the suspension bridge." The scouts in front watched as most of the sheep passed through the position unharmed and were laughed at by the Eighth Route Army, but the Japanese soldiers in the back still stepped on landmines, were blown up, and some fell into mud Being beaten into a honeycomb by the rain of machine guns, the huge powerful bombs thrown from the Eighth Route Army formation from time to time swallowed more soldiers in an instant. The Japanese soldiers near the suspension bridge gasped.

"Baga!~" Seeing that he had paid hundreds of soldiers for nothing, Ge Mu Da Zuo was finally excited by the price, and his face showed fierceness. As the main battle elite army, he thought that this battle against Tuba Road should be easy to catch, but he didn't. It was expected that the firepower of the eight routes was so ferocious that even the strengthened equipment of the 222nd Wing was suppressed.

The muscles on Ge Mu Dazuo's face twisted, and he said decisively: "Prepare to use poison gas!"
