The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 458 Famous in North China—Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi ([-]) (seeking a monthly ticket)

... After the explosion and aftermath of Rolling Thunder were completely over, the little devil who was blown to pieces finally got a chance to breathe. Looking at the casualties of the troops, the furious captain of the devil squadron gave the order to let the six doors behind The [-]-type grenades continued to bombard the forest on the right.

During the bombardment, the vegetation was broken and earth and rocks were scattered everywhere.

Only there was no living person. After shelling for 2 minutes, the leader of the Devil Squadron looked at the still quiet mountain forest on the right and gave an order to stop the attack.

Then they sent out scouts to look at the forest on the right, and found that the shadow of the eight roads ambush had already disappeared.

Two or 300 meters away, the platoon leader of the puppet army led the team pretending to be dead and crawled on the ground for a long time, until the gunfire gradually subsided, and then he led the team back quietly.

Standing on the dirt slope and looking down, the platoon leader of the puppet army was so frightened that his legs went limp and he almost knelt down when he saw the tragic situation of the Japanese army squadron.

Boy, what a long way to go.

The explosion sounded, and the platoon leader of the puppet army knew that it was the eighth way.

But it took only a moment before and after, when the puppet platoon leader returned with the puppet team, and then looked down, more than half of the Japanese squadron with nearly 200 people fell to the ground at this moment.

The four No. 50 devils in the middle section were the worst. They were blown up so badly that they couldn't even see the whole one.

The No. 50 devils in the previous section are still alive at this moment, and their faces and bodies have been beaten into partial hornet's nests.

The bullets embedded in the flesh made the puppet soldiers feel pain.

The unit where the squadron leader of the latter part of the Japanese army is located is also in disarray at the moment, and it is really in a mess.

Looking back at his puppet platoon, the 20th puppet army didn't even scratch their skins.

When the angry devil squadron leader looked towards the puppet platoon leader, the puppet platoon leader gave a sudden thump in his heart, and hurriedly trot over.

"Platoon Leader Wang, this is the road you have carefully explored? The Tuba Road ambushed here, are you blind?"

"Taijun, I—"

"idiot!"

Papa——, the angry devil squadron leader slapped the left and right faces of the puppet platoon leader.

The platoon leader of the puppet army was stunned by the beating, and dared not speak out.

The leader of the Devil Squadron was about to continue to attack, when a scout rushed to report: "Sir, the Young Pine Squadron is here."

The leader of the Devil Squadron glared at the puppet platoon leader again, and then gave up.

Soon after, the two squadrons of the Devils met.

The young pine squadron searched from the direction where the previous battle broke out. To the disappointment of the devil squadron leader, the search troops did not find any shadow of the enemy in the woods.

The two squadron leaders chatted a few words.

Chimatsu expressed shock and anger at the tragic ambush suffered by the Japanese squadron.

Suddenly there were gunshots and artillery sounds, coming from a direction not far away.

The expressions of the captains of the two devil squadrons changed, and Chisong immediately led the troops to support them.

Just after Chisong left, another more intense battle sound came from another direction.

Only then did the leader of the Devil Squadron realize that the troops who were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army were by no means alone.

Naturally, this was the case, and the ambush of the long waiters seemed to be the prelude to the ambush in the entire mountainous area outside the West Village.

Scenes of tragic ambushes of various units of the Japanese army advancing in the search continued to be staged.

The ambush methods used by all the Eighth Route Army's ambush troops are exactly the same as those used by a platoon leader and others.

It does not seek to destroy the ambushed Japanese and puppet troops, but only to cause as much trauma as possible to the Japanese and puppet troops.

The traps in the mountains and forests are ubiquitous. When you step on them, the soles of your feet will be directly punched out by bullets and mines. They are almost everywhere. Although they will not kill the devil soldiers immediately, they can torture the little devils. die.

The point is, as an infantry, you rely on a pair of feet, and now you are marching in a mountainous area. Once a soldier's foot is severely injured, he will immediately lose his ability to move, and he will have to drag two or three soldiers to support him, or use a The stretcher was carried forward.

It's okay if this is a small amount, but as the Japanese and puppet troops mopped up their forces, the casualties are getting bigger and bigger.

Let’s just talk about a 54-member Japanese army squad.

If 20 people were killed directly, no problem, the remaining 34 people collected the weapons and equipment of the fallen devil soldiers, moved on, and continued to fight.

The dead soldiers are ignored for the time being, and the corpses will be collected later.

But if 20 people were injured, and they were incapacitated.

The wounded can immediately drag the entire infantry combat squad into an infantry medical team, carrying stretchers and supporting the wounded soldiers becomes the main job.

How much more fighting power can there be?

……

That's it, until nine o'clock in the morning.

Three hours had passed in the blink of an eye, and Yoshio Shinozuka's original order was to advance to West Village and Zhangjiazhuang within three hours.

It turned out to be a good thing. After three full hours, nine Japanese brigades and several regiments of puppet troops did not even finish half of the mountainous area.

On the other hand, due to the emergence of more and more wounded.

In the temporary joint command headquarters where the devils were placed behind, the nine Japanese army captains decided to build a temporary wounded soldiers storage facility in the rear after deliberation.

The wounded who are sweeping forward on the front line can be evacuated to the storage center for centralized care, and it can also prevent the operation of dragging down the rest of the troops.

"Reporting sir, the number of wounded soldiers has now increased to more than 700, and the number of follow-up wounded is still increasing rapidly. Our reserves of gauze and medicine are no longer enough."

The medical staff conveyed the news to the headquarters, and the captains of the Devils immediately had a headache.

One said: "Three hours have passed now, and we are far from fulfilling His Excellency Commander's order.

If this continues, it will only get worse and worse. We can't fight like this anymore. The mountain forest is the base camp of the Eighth Route Army. They are more familiar with the terrain than us, and they have ambushed a lot of traps in advance. If we take the initiative to meet them, we will definitely suffer. "

The other said: "The mountain road can't go any further. The Eight Routes have already prepared an ambush on the mountain road. I suggest that we completely disperse our forces, pull them into a sweeping net, and move forward to avoid being attacked and killed by the Eight Routes. It can expand the search area and further compress the living space of eight roads."

Another said: "I think this method works. Let the Imperial Association Army take the lead. As the first security force, our sweeping force will follow closely. Once the enemy is found, we can knock down the target with grenade fire at any time."

"As for the large number of bullet mines planted by the Eighth Route Army, although these mines are not very powerful, they are the most likely to cause our soldiers to lose their ability to walk. In this way, some simple steel plates are fixed under the military boots, and each mopping team sends people to step on a Come through the safe passage, and follow the footsteps of the team behind, you should be able to avoid the bullets and mines from the eight routes to a certain extent."

"In addition, all artillery teams follow up at the same time, and once they find a concentrated number of eight routes, they will provide artillery support at any time."

The captain of the ghost brigade said: "According to the reports from the front-line combat troops, it seems that there are some snipers in the Eighth Route Army who only attack our army officers. For this reason, our officers have a high probability of death."

"We must issue an order to deal with this situation, let the officers command from the rear, and conduct covert command, try not to show up."

"In addition, each ministry must select veterans with accurate marksmanship and equip them with sniper rifles to serve as snipers against the enemy."

……

In the temporary joint command headquarters, the captains of the devil brigade suggested each other sentence by sentence, and orders were passed on from the headquarters.

Just when the devil officers were racking their brains, thinking about how to quickly break through the mountains and enter the West Village and Zhangjiazhuang.

From all directions in the mountainous area, there were sudden bursts of violent gunfire.

The devil captains are no strangers to these cannon sounds. There are infantry cannons and mountain cannons.

In the inexplicable shock of the devil officer, scouts from all sides returned to report soon after:

"Reporting sir, the Eighth Route has used artillery support, the coverage of the artillery is astonishing, and the strike accuracy is extremely high, the frontline combat troops of our department suffered heavy casualties."

The captain of the devil team questioned, "In mountainous combat, it is the biggest problem to lock the target and correct the shooting. The Eighth Route is now in the same situation as ours. The field of vision is blocked by the mountains. How did they attack our troops?" Accurate strike?"

The scout said: "Sir, according to the reconnaissance of the frontline troops, the Eight Routes used flare guns to communicate with the rear artillery."

"Nani?"

The captains of the devil brigade were astonished, and each of them took a telescope to observe the sky above the forest, but after a while, they found that there were occasional red smoke in the midair.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of violent shelling would extend along the point where the smoke was exposed.

The devil officers who saw this scene were all shocked. Not to mention that this independent regiment has a large number of artillery, it has also achieved coordinated operations between the artillery and the front-line infantry.

It's just unbelievable.

Is this still an Eighth Route Army unit?

In the mountains and forests, the confrontation between the two sides continued, intensified, and gradually became white-hot.

The devil wounded soldiers who lost their combat effectiveness and ability to move were constantly carried to the wounded soldiers centralized storage center.

The traps in the mountains still make the little devils who are moving forward complain endlessly as they cannot be guarded against.

The bullet mines were blocked by military boots with iron plates, and some of them could be detected by mine detectors, because the casualties caused by bullet mines had been greatly reduced.

But there are also booby traps that may exist everywhere, almost transparent thin lines, which are difficult to see with the naked eye, and will explode when tripped.

There is also a wooden box to press the mine. The simple wooden box device basically has no metal. Even the devil's mine detector is difficult to detect. If you step on it a little, the wooden box will close when the pressure is applied, causing an explosion directly.

In addition, the explosive package that was remotely detonated by the detonator made the devils even more distasteful.

They may appear under tree roots, on tree trunks, in bushes, in grass, and under shallow soil.

It is also a remote detonation, and a soldier can operate it from a safe distance. As long as the devils gather in the past and detonate suddenly, the devils will be killed or injured immediately.

The key is not knowing where the enemy is hiding.

This battle made the devils very depressed. The massive military training they had experienced in the military academy was of no use at all.

Before explosives and landmines, everyone is equal.

When the soldiers were handed over, the soldiers of the independent regiment used the double-barreled shotguns in their hands to make the little devil suffer a lot in close combat.

In addition, the shotgun players all played in tactical groups. In addition to the shotgunners, there were also gunners to cover and evacuate later.

The devil wanted to set up a machine gun, so he directly greeted him with a grenade, fast and ruthless.

The members of the commando were not idle. As the most elite small combat unit of the Independent Regiment, in the environment of mountain combat, all the members were good players with one against ten.

Under the leadership of deputy captain Ye Min, the team members who had performed many difficult special operations missions easily used the cover of the mountains and forests to infiltrate and detour to the rear of the Japanese mopping up troops.

He even changed his face halfway, changed into a devil's military uniform, and pretended to be in the middle of the Japanese army. By the way, he caught some puppet soldiers and inquired about the situation of the Japanese puppet troops.

After successfully infiltrating the devil's rear, hiding behind a certain mountain stream, Ye Min called the team members together and said:
"Comrades, everyone understands the current situation. Originally, according to the order of the regiment headquarters, our task this time is to infiltrate the devil's rear and take the opportunity to destroy the devil's artillery."

"But the current battle situation is better than we expected. With the cover of mountains and forests, the devil's artillery can't do much."

"It's our artillery company, with the help of flare guns, that beat the little devil to the point of crying."

"In this case, even if we take the risk of knocking out the devil's artillery team, it won't have much effect on the overall battle situation."

Mu Mu said: "Deputy team, don't talk so much, brothers believe in you, just tell me how to fight!"

Cao Zheng continued: "Yes, deputy team, you just give the order."

The team members spoke up one after another.

Ye Min smiled, and said bluntly: "Then I'll just say it straight. Destroying the devil's artillery squad is of no value in my opinion. I want to lead my comrades to do big things, and directly give the devil's rear headquarters He knocked it off."

"Deputy team, you mean the joint headquarters composed of nine Japanese brigades mentioned by the puppet army?" Excitement appeared on Mu Mu's face.

Ye Mindao: "That's right, the head of the regiment often said that a special operations force without thinking can't be considered an excellent special forces force.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, the leader can give us a big policy,
But when it comes to specific combat, we have to adapt to the changing situation and adapt to the situation.

Right now we haven't made a move, haven't been exposed, and just inquired about the nine brigades of the devils to form a temporary joint command.

This goal is much more valuable than destroying the devil's artillery squad. "

Upon hearing this, the team members expressed their opinions one after another, and Mu Mu was the first to say, "Deputy team, there is nothing to say. Once this beheading operation is successful, the attacking troops of the devils will lose their unified command. It must be a plate of loose sand."

"What could be more valuable than a goal like this?"

Cao Zheng was concerned about another matter, "According to the puppet army, the devil's temporary joint headquarters is in the rear, and there are quite a lot of guards around. Our beheading operation this time may be a bit difficult."

"If there is no difficulty, is it still called special operations?" Mu Mule said.

Cao Zheng also laughed.

Ye Min had a panoramic view of the eagerness of the team members, and finally made a decision: "Okay, comrades, then it's settled, the task of knocking out the Devil's artillery unit is temporarily cancelled, and it will be changed to the beheading of the temporary joint headquarters of the Japanese army's rear." action."

"Remember, before the battle begins, you must keep absolutely hidden."

"set off!"

Ye Min led the team, and the whole team was divided into four groups in tacit understanding, and they marched covertly under alternate cover...
