Bandit Camp

Chapter 150 Decisive Battle Moment
Thick yellowish smoke suddenly rose from the top of the phoenix.

At this time, about [-] Japanese troops from the first charge rushed to Fenghuang Ridge.

Li Zhongyun poked out half his head, raised his gun and was about to ignite the inflammable objects on Fenghuang Ridge, Ye Tufei beside him hurriedly held it down, and told Li Zhongyun with hand gestures that there were too few people rushing up from Little Japan, so wait and see.

Fortunately, Ye Tufei held Li Zhongyun down, the first wave of Japanese soldiers came up to test the effect of the gas bombs.The Japanese army rushed up the Phoenix Ridge for [-] meters, and when they were almost approaching the rocky steps of the Phoenix Peak, they found that there was no counterattack on the top, so they decided that the gas bombs had a good effect.

The leading sergeant waved a small flag to the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain, and reported the development of Fenghuangding to the officers behind in the form of semaphore.The Japanese army then sent a second echelon of about 100 people, and another commando team of more than a hundred people was gathering.

Seeing that there were reinforcements behind them, the Japanese army that rushed up to Fenghuang Ridge first also gained confidence and began to attack Fenghuangding.

When climbing the steps, the little Japanese had to stretch out their hands to grab the corners of the rock, and it was the hottest period in summer, and no one wanted to wear gloves. , his hands were covered with venom.

At this time, about a hundred little Japanese from the second echelon had rushed to the front of the middle of Phoenix Ridge.

Seeing that the timing was just right, Ye Tufei waved his hand.

The seven or eight spears that had already aimed and waited impatiently fired almost simultaneously.

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky and smoke filled the Phoenix Ridge.

The little Japanese suddenly fell into a panic, you pushed me, I pushed him, the ones on fire ran around howling, and the ones with venom on their hands rolled all over the ground.

The Japanese commander in the rear turned pale with fright, and quickly issued an order to retreat.

Matsui Ichiro was pissed off by this unexpected situation. With a livid face, he came to the front of the line, carefully observing the movement on the top of the Phoenix with a telescope.

At this time, the smog filled the Phoenix Ridge, and Matsui Ichiro could not see anything.

We had to wait until the fire on Fenghuang Ridge was extinguished and the smoke cleared.

Another hour passed before the Fenghuang Ridge stopped.

Matsui Ichiro never thought about the fact that the gangsters could have gas masks, let alone reminded him.Moreover, Ye Tufei only arranged seven or eight guns to shoot the inflammable objects on Phoenix Ridge, which also created a false impression for Matsui Ichiro, that is, only a dozen or so people were able to persist in shooting on Phoenix Ridge at that time. That's all.

This is just Ye Tufei's trickery succeeding!

Matsui Ichiro judged that the gangsters should have lost their fighting power on the top of the Phoenix Peak. Maybe, the remaining remnants have already retreated from the Phoenix Peak.

But just to be on the safe side, Ichiro Matsui ordered the artillery to fire the remaining gas bombs.

The entire Fenghuangding was once again shrouded in yellow smoke.

This time, Little Japan brought a climbing ladder and finally successfully climbed to the top of Phoenix.

The brothers in the bandit camp finally waited for this moment.

Facing the small Japanese with bayonets, the strategy of the Bandit Battalion is to form groups of three, and one of them is not holding a long gun with a bayonet on it, nor a cold weapon like a big knife, but a long bamboo pole .

bamboo?Can a bamboo pole kill?

If it is in a normal environment, the bamboo pole is not lethal at all.But under the blanket of poisonous gas, this bamboo pole is more powerful than any cold weapon.

Because the bamboo pole can pick off the gas mask on Little Japan's head, even if it can't be picked off with one or two strokes, it will at least cause great psychological pressure on Little Japan.

A bamboo pole is picking, and two bayonets are killing.

Even Little Japan is a master of hand-to-hand combat, and he can't stand such a toss.

The little Japan who had climbed the top of the Phoenix reluctantly stayed, and the little Japan who had not yet climbed reluctantly retreated.

The bandit battalion brothers who thought they could start a massacre were quite disappointed. Just as they moved their limbs, the little Japanese turned around and only killed about [-] little Japanese. Most of the bandit camp brothers have not been able to get their hands on it yet. .

But at this time, Ye Tufei gave an order to his brothers to retreat.

Although the brothers were puzzled, they still carried out the order.

Not long after retreating from the back mountain, the brothers in charge of monitoring the movement of the Japanese army issued a warning, reporting that a group of soldiers from Little Japan was running towards the back mountain of Fenghuangding.

"Hit him?" Li Zhongyun was unwilling to let Little Japan go, and suggested to Ye Tufei.

Ye Tufei shook his head, and replied: "We can't clarify our whereabouts to Little Japan, fourth brother, don't forget that our ultimate goal is to disperse Little Japan's concentrated forces, and then kill his headquarters."

In Ye Tufei's plan, the battle at the Phoenix Peak was just to annoy Takahashi Xin. Ye Tufei knew that Takahashi Xin was a very stable person, and it was difficult to be offended.However, if the Japanese commander is not annoyed, it will be difficult to make the Japanese army aggressive, so it will be difficult to find gaps and opportunities to realize the idea of ​​raiding the Japanese army headquarters.

What Ye Tufei didn't expect was that the commander of the Japanese army was not Nobu Takahashi, but Ichiro Matsui.

At this time, Matsui Ichiro was already furious. He ordered the troops to disperse their forces and surrounded Fenghuangding. He made up his mind to occupy this mountain that had humiliated the Japanese army several times.

Two hours later, the Japanese army completed the theoretical siege of Fenghuangding.

It took another half an hour to successfully climb to the empty Phoenix Peak.

This result made Matsui Ichiro's embarrassment even worse.

However, after the Phoenix Peak, the Japanese army never encountered decent resistance, only a few small-scale battles due to harassment.

In the evening, Ichiro Matsui commanded the troops and traced to the foot of the mountain where the secret cave of the bandit camp was located.

This is the information that Ishida Masazo spent the lives of several disciples in exchange for. In order to completely eradicate Ye Tufei, Takahashi Xin provided this information to Matsui Ichiro free of charge. He asked Matsui Ichiro to say that this secret cave is the gangster Ye Tufei. All the food, ammunition and other materials are hidden in this secret cave. As long as the imperial army can capture this cave and destroy the hidden materials, Ye Tufei and other gangsters will be defeated without a fight.

On the other hand, Ye Tufei will definitely do his best to guard this cave, and here will become a battlefield for both sides to fight to the death.

The progress of the battle just proved that Gao Qiaoxin's judgment was correct.

The Japanese army's first attack encountered resolute resistance from Ye Tufei's troops.

Due to the rapid advance of the troops from Phoenix Peak, the heavy artillery unit of the Matsui Regiment had not reached the best position at this time. Matsui Ichiro decided to slow down the attack, and after adjusting the troops, he hoped to take the mountain in one go.

But at this moment, Ye Tufei's troops launched an artillery attack on the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain.

Ye Tufei's artillery fire was not dense enough, nor powerful enough. Just based on the impact of the shells and the sound of slashing, it could be judged that this should be the 60mm mortar shelling from four directions, and each direction had at most one Two cannons.

Matsui Ichiro didn't take Ye Tufei's artillery power to heart. He believed that as long as his artillery unit put up a good posture, if Ye Tufei dared to use the artillery again, within three to five minutes, the powerful artillery fire of the empire would be able to destroy Ye Tufei's poor guns. Mortars sent to the sky.

However, before one's own artillery arrived at the designated position, in order to avoid casualties, Matsui Ichiro gave the troops an order to retreat 500 meters.

By the time the artillery units of the Japanese army had set up their positions and adjusted to shoot at Zhuyuan, it was already dark.

In the cave, Ye Tufei called his brothers to make the final arrangements for the night.

According to the reports from various monitoring posts, Ye Tufei has a general understanding of the entire battle situation. This time, Little Japan launched an attack on Erlang Mountain from the east and west sides at the same time. It is extremely slow, but wherever it goes, the fortifications are very adequate.

On the west side, the attack-oriented posture was adopted, and the speed of advancing was extremely fast, and it looked like a long-distance drive.

For the bandit camp, the situation at this time is mixed.

The good news is that after nearly a day and a night of preparation time, most of the common people have moved to a relatively safe place, and the stored materials and ammunition have basically been transferred out, and after this day's fighting, the bandit camp has made enough money .

But there are many things to worry about. The first thing that worries Ye Tufei is that Little Japan launched an attack on Erlang Mountain from the east and west sides. As far as the current situation is concerned, the possibility of exiting Erlang Mountain from the east mountain pass is gone. However, if you evacuate from the mountain trails over the mountains, then a lot of baggage must be abandoned.Another worrying situation is that up to now, the various departments of the Japanese army on the western front are still very closely connected, and Ye Tufei can't find any gaps or opportunities to attack the Japanese army headquarters.What worries Ye Tufei the most is that the habits of the Japanese army in front of him are so unfamiliar, it doesn't look like Shin Takahashi is commanding at all.

According to Ye Tufei's understanding of Gao Qiaoxin, this gentleman will definitely not put himself on the front line, especially after experiencing the last battle at Yingzui Cliff.Therefore, when Ye Tufei started shelling the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain, Ye Tufei concluded that Takahashi Nobuo will lead the headquarters to retreat further.

However, judging from the monitoring situation of various secret posts, it seems that the Japanese army headquarters has not withdrawn from the front line.

"Brothers, we must now find a way to separate the small Japanese headquarters from their large forces. Also, I always feel that the commander of this Japanese army is not Takahashi Shin, we have to adjust our strategy."

Yan Xiwen and Ye Tufei had the same feeling, and said: "I also feel that this Japanese army has more than enough bravery but not enough wisdom, it's not like Takahashi Shin's style."

Zhang Luohui said: "Xin Takahashi thinks he is very smart, and always wants to compare his wisdom with Master Liu, but the Japanese army in front of him knows how to fight and charge. I bet, this is definitely not Takahashi Shin's style. Six Lord, how about we take advantage of the night to make a surprise attack?"

Ye Tufei nodded, and said approvingly: "I'm thinking about this too! If we continue to fight like this, we won't be able to mobilize the headquarters of Little Japan. We can only sit and wait for death if we continue to fight like this. Raiding at night is a good way, as long as we can Little Japan's formation was messed up, and the Japanese commander felt the danger, so he will definitely move the headquarters back. But the question is how we should fight the raid well. Brother Yan, what do you have? Any good advice?"
