The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 457 Famous in North China—Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi ([-]) (seeking a monthly ticket)

Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang are located between the mountains, backed by Niukou Village, and form a small triangle together with Zhangjiazhuang and Xicun.

This is also the reason why Kong Jie chose to build the defense of the base area on the basis of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

The three can form a partial triangular defense system. In addition, the three villages are located in a mountain depression, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Only a road extending eastward is the most stable.

In addition, Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang are the two larger villages among the surrounding villages of Niukou Village.

In addition to these two villages, there are other villages such as Longwo Village and Dingjiaying.

After the Japanese army launched a big raid on the [-]th, in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices when the enemy is strong and we are weak.

Facing the encirclement by the Japanese army, Kong Jie directly ordered that after laying mines and traps in the villages around Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, all the villagers and militiamen were evacuated to the rear.

Only some outstanding comrades in the militia were left behind to form a guerrilla team, relying on the mountainous area to fight guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare, harassing and blocking the sweep of the Japanese and puppet troops along the way.

It has been a week since the devils set off a big sweep.

In addition to Niukou Village, Zhangjiazhuang, and Xicun, the entire Independence Regiment base area, all surrounding villages have been swept away by the Japanese army.

Wherever the devils pass by, implement the three-all policy, burn all, kill all, and loot all.

Fortunately, comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry sent back the news earlier. Before the Japanese army launched a big sweep, the independent regiment received the news and evacuated all the militias and civilians in the surrounding villages.

All that was left to the devils was an empty village, and there were all kinds of traps laid by the soldiers in advance, such as bullet mines, wooden box mines, land mines, etc. A series of ambushes turned the uninhabited village into a one-by-one place. A hell of a trap.

At first, the little devil who was unsuspecting of this suffered a big loss.

A squadron of devils excitedly swept away the supplies in the village, from the beginning to the end of the village, and even lost nearly half of the troops when they came out.

A large number of wounded overwhelmed the devils who continued to march.

Not a few soldiers died without fighting, which made the Devils officers furious.

In addition, the little devils found even more depressingly that the village was already empty. Except for every step and every trap, these cunning Chinese people had already emptied all the supplies that could be taken away, and the livestock that could be taken away Take them all away.

All that remains are bare walls and some sundries that cannot fill the belly.

In the end, not to mention that the little devil didn't seize half of the supplies, he fell into a trap, and the whole team suffered a lot of casualties.

The so-called three-light policy, the last thing the devils can implement is to burn everything.

Nearly half of the casualties of the devils immediately used more fire and burned the village to vent their anger.

In the back, because of the various traps in the empty village, the little devils who were constantly suffering casualties learned their skills.

After the news spread quickly, the Japanese troops no longer dared to enter the village at will, even if the village was empty.

But from the point of view of the little devil, even if the common people and Eighth Road cannot be caught, the village should be disposed of.

It's just that the houses in this village are mostly wood and stone structures, and the surrounding courtyard walls are even more piled up with mud and stones.

Every household is not right next to each other. There are few people in the countryside and the place is big. Some farmers can even be separated by dozens of meters or even hundreds of meters.
It is impossible for a fire to burn down the entire village.

If you want to burn down the whole village, you have to enter the village and light a fire in every house.

It is not efficient to bombard directly with a grenadier, and the devils are reluctant to part with the shells.

In the end, the little devil, who competed with the houses in the village, even drove an armored vehicle. With the armored cover of the armored vehicle, he pushed along the path of the village, and then threw torches at the houses on both sides, setting fire to the village .

Other devils fired incendiary bombs into the village.

After such an operation, the devil felt that he had avenged himself, and he pulled up the team and continued to move forward.

…………

twenty days.

six o'clock in the morning.

With the continuous reinforcement of the Japanese army, after a night of precipitation, reinforcements from nine brigades of the Japanese army were gathered near Xicun and the surrounding mountains of Zhangjiazhuang.

At the same time, the brigade headquarters of the nine Japanese brigades received a message from Commander Shinozuka Yoshio.

The order issued by Shinozuka Yoshio is quite clear and firm:
All ministries worked together to advance to Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang within three hours.

Within five hours, Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang were pushed horizontally.

Within eight hours, Niukou Village must be taken in one fell swoop, and the Independence Regiment must be wiped out.

After the order was issued, some devil captains met, and their words were full of confidence, "How can it take eight hours, speed up, after the independent regiment is destroyed, we can still prepare lunch on the spot!"

Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang are backed by Niukou Village, while Niukou Village is backed by a mountain, and then go to the rear of the mountain, more than ten kilometers away to the northwest, is the defense area of ​​Ding Wei's new regiment, about ten kilometers away to the southwest , is the defense zone of Li Yunlong's new second regiment.

Niukou Village, where the Independent Regiment is located, is backed by a mountainous area, which is not conducive to the deployment of the main force. In addition, the mountains are complicated and the mountain roads are difficult to walk.

Naturally, the Japanese and puppet troops would not choose to detour from the direction of Dashan.

In addition, this time the battle was first launched around the two points of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang. The Japanese army directly advanced from the east to the main road, intending to attack Niukou Village from the front in one fell swoop and destroy the Independence Regiment.

Around six twenty.

After deliberation, the nine Japanese army captains of the Devils decided to take advantage of their strength and let the Imperial Association Army take the lead. Each brigade was divided into several directions and moved forward at the same time, approaching Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

Outside West Village and Zhangjiazhuang, there is a large mountainous area.

Of course, the more people walk, the more roads will become. There are some mountain roads that villagers have walked for generations on these mountains.

The devils and puppet soldiers pressed the border, and the scouts quickly found these easier mountain passes.

If the devils and puppet troops wanted to reach West Village and Zhangjiazhuang, they had to go through these mountain roads first before they could reach the eastward road leading to the village, which was convenient for marching.

The devil officers then ordered that the teams line up in single file and advance from these mountain roads.

A Japanese and puppet army was advancing like this. On the narrow mountain road, a puppet army platoon with more than 20 people was in the lead.

The team of more than 20 people was divided into three small teams, and each team was separated by a distance of 30 meters to prevent being ambushed at the same time.

Further behind is a Japanese squadron, with the dog-legged Imperial Association Army as cannon fodder to explore the way. These little devils look relaxed at the moment.

"Baga, the headquarters' order is to advance to the West Village within three hours. Why is the speed of the Imperial Association Army so slow? Immediately send someone to urge them to speed up."

On the way, the leader of the Devil Squadron, who led the troops forward, frowned and gave the order.

"Hi!"

When the order was conveyed to the puppet platoon, the puppet platoon leader was cursing in his heart, but on the surface he was respectful, so he had to bite the bullet and speed up, while praying in his heart:

Grandpa Balu!We are also forced to be helpless, if you want to fight, just hit the little devils behind us, don't take the lives of the brothers!

The squad leader of the puppet army next to him came over and said, "Platoon leader, I always feel that this mountain road is not safe, and I have been fighting in my heart, why don't I send a few brothers to spread out and investigate and advance all the way?"

With a slap on the head of the puppet army squad leader, the puppet army platoon leader cursed in a low voice: "Idiot, how many heads do you have to investigate? In case the Eighth Route is really ambushing on the side of the road, let your boy be investigated Come out, even if Balu doesn't want to hit us, and the focus is on the devils, then we can only open fire."

"We want to survive, so we just move forward honestly, and close one eye if we can."

"The devils use us as cannon fodder to explore the way, and we have to use the devils as light bulbs to attract attacks from all directions!"

"Remember, once you encounter an ambush by the Eighth Route Army, everyone will immediately lie on the ground and don't lift their heads. Eighth Router is in a good mood, and maybe they will let us go as a fart. Whoever doesn't have eyes Then he shot and wounded Balu, and our entire platoon will be finished by then."

"Have you heard everything clearly?"

"Yes--"

The surrounding puppet soldiers nodded quickly in response.

……

From the place where the puppet army appeared on the mountain road, push forward 500 meters. At this moment, the first platoon leader of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is leading the entire platoon of soldiers to ambush in the forest on the right side of the mountain road.

"Platoon leader, the puppet army is less than 500 meters away. There are about 100 people. The devil hangs behind the second devil, about [-] meters away. It seems that there are about a squadron of troops."

The scout warriors passed the message back.

The leader of the first row nodded, and whispered to the squad leaders beside him: "The battle has just started, and this devil dares to walk along the mountain road. At this time, the devils who gather together are the best to fight.

In the back, the devils and puppet troops did not dare to walk the mountain road, their forces dispersed, and they began to drill into the woods, and the battle was not enjoyable.

why?
The little devils are no longer gathered together, and we can't kill a few of them even if we hit them with shells.

So don't let go of the opportunity to concentrate on killing the little devil right now. "

The squad leader asked: "Platoon leader, what about the puppet troops at the front?"

A long line said: "Let it go."

"These second devils are not good birds, they are too cheap." The first squad leader has a straightforward personality, thinks traitors are more hateful than devils, and hates these soft bones the most.

The platoon leader smiled and said, "What's the rush? Our company commander said it well, we have priority in doing things, and we also have priority in fighting devils.

Why did the little devil let the puppet army take the lead?I just want the puppet army to be used as cannon fodder to attract our firepower. Once we hit the puppet army here, the devils will be able to react immediately.

So the focus has to be on the devils, as long as the devils are eliminated, the remaining puppet troops can be taken care of casually. "

"Yes!" The squad leader replied.

"The preparations for the ambush of the soldiers are all ready?"

"Platoon leader, don't worry, everything is ready."

"Okay, wait until the devil steps into the ambush circle, and serve the food directly."

"Yes!"

……

The platoon leader of the puppet army continued to lead the team, and soon arrived at the ambush circle first.

Glancing casually around, the platoon leader of the puppet army who hadn't slept all night yawned, and said to the squad leader beside him, "Okay, hurry up and sign language to the devils, call them over, and say everything is normal, you can move on. "

"Yes!"

The squad leader of the puppet army stood on the side of the mountain road, taking advantage of the higher terrain, and signed sign language towards the Japanese army more than 100 meters downhill.

After the news was delivered, the little devil didn't doubt it too much. He hasn't encountered an ambush all this way!
The devil squadron lined up in a single file, and nearly two hundred devils continued to move forward.

As time passed, the puppet platoon leader led the puppet troops across the ambush circle, and then the devil squadron leader led the Japanese troops into the ambush circle.

The so-called ambush circle is about 50 meters long.

From God's point of view, under the shallow layer of dirt mountain roads that have undergone natural treatment on the surface without any trace of time, there are small explosive packages buried one after another.

The distance between each explosive package is about five meters, and there are ten explosive packages in total.

On the right side of the explosive package, there is a wire connected. The wire is also buried shallowly under the soil layer. It leaps into the grass and trees on the right side, and is completely covered. At one end, it was hung on the detonator, which was controlled by soldiers of the eighth route army who were crawling in secret.

The ghost soldiers lined up in a single file, each with a distance of about one meter, stepped into the mountain road section buried with explosives without realizing it, and they didn't know that the god of death was coming.

The devil continued to move forward, crawling in a row among the trees on the right, and slowly raised his right hand.

Until more than 50 devils passed the ambush circle, the middle part of the devils was within the coverage of the explosive package, and a platoon leader quickly pressed down his palms.

The ten fighters holding detonators who received the signal did not hesitate any longer and pressed the detonators of the explosive packs almost simultaneously.

The electric current extends out at lightning speed, directly triggers the detonator, and then triggers an explosion.

boom -

Nearly 50 meters of road section, a whole piece of shallow soil was sent into the air while being crushed into pieces, together with the forty or fifty devils who were within the range of 50 meters of road section, they were thrown out and walked along the steep mountain road. Rolling down, some fell on the devils who continued to climb, and fell down together with the living devils.

With a sudden attack, more than 50 devils were taken away.

The sudden blow caused the devil soldiers in front of and behind the ambush circle to crawl and hide in all directions like a conditioned reflex, although they did not panic.

The first platoon leader also did not expect that the ten small explosive packages detonated remotely would be able to kill the devil squadron in front of him. The first time the explosive package was detonated, the first platoon leader waved his hand and gave the order for the second combat team to attack.

Fifteen soldiers armed with shotguns had long been ready to go, ambush in the front of the ambush circle, that is, in the forest on the right side of the 50 or more devils who had crossed the ambush circle in advance.

The soldiers quickly approached several meters, and entered within 20 meters of the Japanese army. While standing up, they raised their double-barreled shotguns and sprayed them at the devils who were hidden all around the mountain road.

Fifteen shotguns, each with two bullets, the projectiles were like dense raindrops, falling towards the devils on the mountain road.

With such dense projectiles, how can people hide from them?

Even if the devils hide around, they will still be turned into a hornet's nest by the sprayed ammunition.

The more than 50 devils who rushed through the ambush circle in advance, under the spray of the shotgun, the casualties exceeded [-]% in an instant.

"Fight back, fight back!"

The leader of the Devil Squadron at the rear of the team drew out his command knife and screamed strangely.

As a result, before the little devil had time to fight back, the third combat team commanded by a platoon leader, ten soldiers, each holding a round rolling thunder, pulled off the fuse with a smirk on his face, and rolled down the high slope fall.

Although the devil squadron leader has never seen Rolling Thunder, the soldier's sense of smell is not bad. Looking at the big smoking iron ball, he still doesn't understand what's going on. His face changed drastically and he exclaimed: "Left Wing, hurry up!" , to hide in the woods on the left wing!"

boom -

Some of the ghosts who reacted half a beat later witnessed the explosion of the big rolling ball right in front of their eyes, and then the ball was smashed to pieces, and their faces were beyond recognition.

In the mountain forest on the right, after the attacks of the three combat teams were all over, the platoon leader waved and gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

He didn't even care about Rolling Thunder's final victory.

This is called hitting with one blow, traveling thousands of miles away.

A little later, the troops around the devil will surround them, and they will not be able to withdraw even if they want to.

This ambush, according to the instructions of the regiment headquarters, was aimed at traumatizing the Japanese and puppet troops, nothing more.
