The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 603 The ownership of the dozen or so cannons ambushed in Zhongshan Village
And it's not just Head Feng of the Fifth Regiment.

The heads of the other regiments were also provoked by the little devil this time.

Is it true that our enemy's rear base is a place where you can come and go whenever you want, little devil?
In the past, the equipment was poor, and it was fine when ammunition was scarce.

Once the Eighth Route Army troops have weapons and ammunition, how can they be polite to little devils?
The devil withdrew like this.

The troops from all sides of the Eighth Route Army that had been blocking the Japanese army immediately turned into tigers and rushed forward.

Commander Xu of the [-]st Regiment gritted his teeth and called out all the artillery companies directly under the regiment.

The leader of the [-]th regiment, afraid that the little devil would run away, directly blew up some bridges where the devil retreated.

Captain Jiang of the Seventeenth Regiment took out all the mine belongings stored in the regiment.

Landmines were laid on the road sections in several directions where the devils retreated.

Even if the devils use engineers to clear the mines without external interference, if they want to withdraw, they will definitely not be able to do it without spending half a day.

Local troops and militia fighters from all over the country also came to help out one after another. They either fired a shot or fired a cannon along the way, and some even used old methods, simply rolling stones from the high slopes on both sides of the road. , set traps on the road, and insert sharpened branches into the traps.

It is how many means make how many means.

Thus, the retreating ghost was like a delicious big worm.

The attacking soldiers were ants one by one, and every now and then they went up to take a bite, which was enough to make the big bug gradually close to death.

And in the defense area of ​​the Iron Triangle, especially the defense area of ​​the independent regiment.

The devil is more like falling into a deep quagmire.

Kong Jie played an empty-handed strategy and successfully lured the little devil into the hinterland of the independent regiment's defense zone.

The soldiers of the Independence Regiment almost mobilized the whole regiment, and set up a large net around the entire root area, completely besieging the four Japanese brigades and the two Imperial Association regiments trapped in it.

Then carry out partial penetration, detour, division, outflanking, encirclement and annihilation.

This is the best tactic of the fighters.

The perfect detour and interspersion of large-scale troops is the perfect embodiment of the well-trained soldiers of the independent regiment and their extremely high execution ability.

The Japanese army caught in it wanted to withdraw a long time ago, and then received an order from the headquarters, and chose to retreat without hesitation.

The devil wanted to retreat from the retreat route, but he was constantly attacked by booby traps, landmines and side bombs along the road.

The empty village retreated when I thought it was coming, but suddenly a large number of Eighth Route Army combat troops appeared from all corners of the village.

in the forest,

There are in the slope,

the village has,
There are even roadsides.

The devils and puppet soldiers caught in it were about to be driven crazy.

In the vicinity of the entire Independence Regiment base area and the surrounding guerrilla areas, the Eighth Route Army troops appeared and disappeared, as if they were everywhere.

The devils sent engineers to clear the mines, and there were always Eighth Route Army snipers or gunners hiding in the dark to attack with cold guns.

Therefore, the devil's engineers often die before they have time to lay out a few landmines.

These cunning Eighth Route Army even finished shooting with one shot, and retreated immediately, without giving the devils a chance to fight back.

In order to deal with the independent regiment in a targeted manner, the four brigades advancing to the independent regiment base this time also strengthened an artillery squadron with more than a dozen artillery pieces.

But the combat tactics of the independent regiment this time, under Kong Jie's special arrangement, is to use the combination of tunnel and tunnel tactics, guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and sparrow warfare.

The combat troops of the Eighth Route Army are extremely scattered, coupled with strong mobility and high concealment, they are all too familiar with this terrain.

Even though the Japanese army had more than a dozen artillery pieces, they didn't have much use for them.

What the little devil didn't expect was that the dozen or so cannons they carried had already become big fat in the eyes of Shen Quan, the second battalion commander of the independent regiment.

……

Zhongshan Village.

With the team lurking here, Shen Quan quietly drilled out from various tunnels in the village.

"Bring it out, be careful, and build the heavy machine gun fortification in advance according to the predetermined plan."

"Give me these ten [-]-point mortars and set them up in advance. Be careful. The Yankee's equipment is good, but the workmanship is too complicated. If a few parts are damaged, it will have a big impact."

"This time our second battalion went deep into the enemy's belly and was responsible for the blossoming in the middle. The regiment commander lent these ten [-] mortars to our battalion. If they are damaged, I can't even deal with the regiment commander!"

While commanding, Shen Quan called the communications soldier and asked, "How far are the retreating devils?"

The communication soldier said: "Report to the battalion commander, there is news from the forward reconnaissance post that the devil is more than two miles away from us."

Shen Quan nodded: "We will arrive in about 10 minutes. We don't have much time left. Continue to investigate and determine the specific direction of the devil's retreat."

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Shen Quan quickly gathered the company platoon leaders together, took the ground as a schematic diagram, drew on it with a branch and said:

"Where we are now, Zhongshan Village."

"There is a relatively open area around. The troops retreating from the devils will either pass through our village or retreat from the open areas on both sides of the village."

"And we built tunnel fortifications in advance on both sides of the village outside."

"Once the firepower from the two wings goes down, the little devil can't find cover in the open area, so he will definitely have to venture into the village."

"Let's put all the forward troops of the devils in, so that the devils dare not easily use the rear artillery."

Speaking of this, Shen Quan licked his somewhat chapped lips, his eyes glowed with gold, thinking of what he was about to capture, he even couldn't help swallowing.

"Comrades, do you know what's so special about the little devils who retreated from our direction?"

The Eighth Company Commander said: "Battalion Commander, the devil has brought an artillery squadron! More than a dozen cannons, if this falls into the hands of our Second Battalion, we will fire them."

Shen Quan clenched his fist and said, "Damn, that's what happened."

"This battalion has a battalion-owned machine gun company, with mortars and rapid-fire guns. To be honest, it's a lie that I don't envy them in my heart."

"In our independent regiment, the first battalion and the second battalion are the original veteran battalions. When his first battalion was formed, there was my second battalion. Why does his first battalion have a machine gun company, and our second battalion doesn't?"

"This time, I am impartial. The devil's artillery squadron hit our guns. If we don't capture these dozen artillery pieces, we will be sorry for our luck."

"As long as these dozens of artillery pieces are captured, according to our regiment's rules and the commander's temperament, even if we can't keep all the artillery pieces in our second battalion, our machine gun company will also be in place."

"How can it be like this, in order to deal with the little devils, you have to borrow these [-] guns from the head of the regiment?"

As Shen Quan spoke, he drew a sketch on the ground.

"After the attack from the two wings of fire, the devils will definitely enter the village to seek cover."

"Let's hide in various parts of the village in advance, hide the machine guns and mortars for me, and let the devil's vanguard troops come in."

"These ten [-]-point mortars are our trump card this time. After the battle broke out, the forward artillery scouts locked down the devil's artillery position as soon as possible, and knocked out the devil's artillery position as soon as possible."

"After knocking out the devil's artillery positions, we will try our best to eliminate the devils entering the village, and quickly block the devil's troops outside the village. Let's attack from three sides. In this open land, we will use the little devil as a living target... the specific arrangement is like this , Do you understand everything?"

"Yes--"

The cadres responded in unison, and turned around to make preparations.

Time ticks by.

About 10 minutes.

A dilapidated Japanese brigade, leading the Devil Artillery Squadron, fled in the direction of Zhongshan Village.

The Japanese brigade is at the same level as the battalion-level combat unit of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, what is in front of you is a dilapidated Japanese army brigade.

Now the independent regiment is growing step by step. The strength of Shen Quan's second battalion and the first battalion is actually almost the same as that of the Japanese army brigade.

The two sides encountered in front of them.

The ratio of troops is almost 1:1.

A large empty area, only a lonely village.

In the rear, the Eighth Route Army troops were still chasing them all the way.

Matsuda, the captain of the Devils, led the team back in a bit of embarrassment.

These eight roads chasing after them are like dog skin plasters, sticking to the back of the imperial troops, rushing up from time to time, causing considerable trauma to the troops.

The Matsuda Battalion received another order to cover the retreat of the artillery squadron along the way during the retreat.

The artillery squadron carried more than a dozen cannons, which were clumsy and heavy, and could not be fast at all.

The car used to carry the artillery when the devils came was attacked by side bombs from the Eighth Route Army on the road, and almost all of them were blown up.

The little devil who was also short of resources couldn't bear to part with the dozens of cannons, so he could only rely on manpower, mules, and horses to pull the cannons back all the way.

Zhongshan Village can be seen from a distance.

It looked like there was no one at all, and when I passed by here, the village was indeed empty.

But Matsuda, who had suffered a lot through similar villages before, expressed hesitation.

"The cunning Tubalu will probably have an ambush in the village, so avoid the village!"

Matsuda gave the order quite decisively.

As a result, the entire retreating Japanese army turned around and prepared to evacuate from the open area on the right wing of Zhongshan Village.

Then, not far from Zhongshan Village, Shen Quan's soldiers who had ambushed in the tunnels on both wings in advance suddenly launched an ambush.

The Japanese troops were flanked by two flanks.

Under the fierce firepower of the soldiers, the devil's troops quickly suffered casualties.

The surrounding area was empty, and there was no cover at all. The devils could only crawl on the ground to fight back.

The well-equipped independent regiment soldiers used the [-] small cannons to hit them with rounds of artillery fire, and the devils had almost no power to parry.

The little devils naturally also have grenade launchers, but since there are no bunkers, the Eighth Route Army on both sides have trenches dug in advance.

Devils are at an absolute disadvantage in terrain.

Not long after such a confrontation, the Japanese brigade suffered a lot.

In a hurry, Matsuda didn't care about thinking too much, and quickly ordered the troops to move to Zhongshan Village, using the village's houses as fortifications, and then counterattacked.
