Chapter 681 The First Battle of the Kwantung Japanese Invaders' Elite Confrontation
Zhao San said that during this period of time, because many refugees fled to the villages in the guerrilla zone where the Eighth Route Army was located, there were many people there.

Balu was not sure whether there were spies mixed in, so he assigned a single line to contact the village.

In the station in the deep mountains, the eight roads will be transferred every once in a while.

Once there is any trouble, Balu will transfer it as soon as possible.

This means that if Zhao San delays for too long and is discovered by the Eighth Route Army, the temporary station of the Eighth Route Army will be transferred soon.

"Yaoxi, since this is the case, Mr. Zhao, lead the way immediately!"

Uchida Shinobu also urged.

He noticed that there was struggle in Zhao San's expression.

Uchida Nobu did not mind this. When he was dealing with the Anti-Union, those traitors who helped the Imperial Japanese Army to eliminate the Anti-Union Army also struggled in their expressions at the last moment.

This is the contradiction of human nature that a true traitor should have.

If Zhao San's face does not show any struggle and pain, Uchida Shinobu will doubt his sincerity instead.

At this time, Uchida Shinya led the main force of the Kwantung Army brigade he brought from the northeast.

There are about 800 troops, all of whom are the elite of Uchida Brigade.

The heavy soldiers, logistics soldiers, and other non-combat arms were temporarily left in Ji County by Uchida Nobuya.

Speaking of it, the Kwantung Army is naturally one of the absolute elites in the Japanese war of aggression against China.

It's just that due to various reasons, the main force of the Kwantung Army has always been stationed in the Northeast region, and did not go south to participate in combat.

It's just that some troops, such as Uchida Nobuya, will send troops to reinforce when the Japanese army occasionally needs combat reinforcements in North China.

Later, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, a large number of elite Kwantung Army were transferred to fight again.

Therefore, in North China, the confrontation between the Chinese army and the elite Japanese Kwantung Army was actually extremely limited.

This time, Nobuo Uchida also led the entire brigade to the Zhongtiao Mountain area to deal with Wang Huaibao, Han Feng and other Eighth Route Army troops active in Zhongtiao Mountain.

It can even be said to be the first large-scale confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the elite Kwantung Army.

... lingering on the trails in the mountains.

There was silence all around, only the occasional chirping of birds.

Zhao San led the way ahead, and with the Kwantung Army devils behind him, he set off secretly towards the current location of the Eighth Route Army Independent Fourth Regiment.

Uchida Shinya was a little excited in his heart, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Uchida Nobu is also quite experienced in dealing with the Northeast's anti-union team.

He believes that dealing with the Eighth Route Army in Zhongtiao Mountain is the same problem as dealing with the Anti-Japanese Army, that is, how to accurately locate the hiding place of the Eighth Route Army.

Right now, the traitor Zhao San of the Eighth Route Army is leading the way. As long as he can get to the temporary camp of the Eighth Route Army and form a secret encirclement, it will not be a problem to wipe out this group of Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

The first battle was successfully won, and the eight routes of a regiment can wipe out 2000 people no matter what.

This is a record that the Japanese army in North China in the Zhongtiao Mountain area has never had.

For this reason, Uchida Shinya even imagined in his mind that after he had completed his first victory against the Zhongtiao Mountain Eighth Route Army, when the North China Japanese army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area looked at him again, their eyes were full of admiration.

As for General Shinozuka Yoshio and General Kitagawa, it is exaggerated.

The elite Eighth Route Army in Zhongtiao Mountain is nothing more than that.

In front of the flower of the imperial army, there is also a chicken and a dog, which is not worth mentioning.

"Mr. Zhao, how far is it?"

Nobuo Uchida, who suppressed his excitement, also asked.

Zhao San looked up at the small road in the mountains and forests, and said, "Taijun, the temporary garrison of the Fourth Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is in a strange place. There are probably two ways to go up the mountain. One is to go up the gentle slope from the south of the mountain, but this road Along the way, the eighth road has arranged a lot of warnings, if we walk along this road, it will be easy to be exposed."

"The other one is that we detour from the back side, but it will go farther, and it will take about three hours."

Uchida Shin also nodded, he considered himself a very patient hunter.

"Then make a detour! Make sure to touch the back of the Eighth Route Army quietly."

"Hi!"

Zhao San responded that he took the Kwantung Army devils behind him, and according to Uchida Shinya's request, he took a small detour that avoided Qingshan Village.

In this regard, Uchida Shin also has rich experience. He knows that the Eighth Route Army has a close relationship with the people. If they leave the village, the troops will be easily exposed.

Once a Chinese villager informed the Eighth Route Army in advance, then this sneak attack would have fallen short.

Time passed quickly.

After walking for nearly three hours, the entire Kwantung Army brigade was exhausted.

In the mountainous area of ​​Zhongtiao Mountain, the steep mountain roads made these Kwantung Army devils quite uncomfortable.

This time I took a mountain road, and climbing the hillside is unavoidable. After all, the Eighth Route Army is hidden deep in the mountains.

This means that the devil's usual transport vehicles are useless at all.

In order to move forward in concealment, many of the heavy weapons of the Uchida Brigade, such as the four [-]-type infantry guns that were attached and strengthened, had no time to take them with them.

As for the fifteen Type [-] heavy machine guns originally owned by his Uchida Brigade.

Right now, for the convenience of marching, I only bring six.

A few heavy machine guns were pulled up with a small cart, and several devils worked together to transport them. They were exhausted halfway, and the cart pullers changed wave after wave.

Uchida Shin also believes that in the rugged and difficult mountainous areas, in the face of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare by the highly mobile Eighth Route Army troops, a cumbersome heavy machine gun may not be comparable to two flexible grenade launchers.

Therefore, in order to successfully attack the Eighth Route Army on Zhongtiao Mountain this time, although Uchida Shinya ordered to carry a small number of heavy machine guns.

However, it has additionally strengthened the light firepower carried by the troops, such as crooked handles and grenades.

Just the Type [-] grenades, the Uchida brigade brought fifty of them on this trip.

Uchida Shinobu also discovered long ago that grenadiers, light and small-caliber guns, are quite effective against the Eighth Route Army troops.

As it gets closer to the target.

Uchida Shin also became more and more vigilant.

Not long after, Zhao San saw a small hill in the distance, and Zhao San told Uchida Nobuya: "The main force of the Fourth Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is stationed in the woods on that hill."

Uchida Nobu was also very cautious. Hearing this, he took a telescope and walked to a small slope with a good view, and carefully observed the position pointed by Zhao San not far away.

Sure enough, he found that there were some simple wooden houses and some tents among the mountains and forests.

It should be the place where the Eighth Route Army camped in the mountains, and the houses were covered with some branches and leaves for camouflage.

Uchida Shin also found some secret sentries of the Eighth Route Army lying on the high platform.

It is definitely the station of the Eighth Route Army!
At this point, Nobuo Uchida no longer had any doubts, and immediately arranged several squadron leaders under him. According to the predetermined plan, the team was divided into two parts, and they circled left and right to encircle the Eighth Route Army camp area not far away.

And once this operation is over, Zhao San's pawn will be useless.

Before departure, Uchida Nobu also said to Zhao San with great interest:
"I absolutely believe in Mr. Zhao's loyalty to our Great Japanese Empire. Now that the battle is imminent, why not join Mr. Zhao in the battle?"

Saying that, Uchida Shinobu also signaled the adjutant beside him to hand Zhao San a bastard box.

Zhao San smiled wryly, took the pistol, and replied: "Since your Excellency the captain thinks highly of me, I will do my best."

"Yaoxi, let's go!" Uchida Nobu also ordered.

But he said that these Kwantung Army devils were really good.

In the action of dividing the troops into two groups and quickly moving towards the camp of the Eighth Route Army, the team of nearly 800 people didn't make any noise.

Teams cover each other, advance alternately, cooperate quite tacitly, and perfectly avoid the checkpoints of the Eighth Route Army.

In less than 10 minutes, under the command of Uchida Shinya, nearly [-] devils completed the encirclement and deployment, and they can launch a surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army's camp area with just one order.

For the next battle, Uchida, who is full of confidence, also chooses a practical style of play without fancy.

The fifty grenadiers were quickly adjusted, and after Nobuya Uchida gave an order, they bombarded the Eighth Route Army camp more than 300 meters away at the same time.

boom -

Fifty rounds of artillery shells fell in one go, and round after round of artillery fire continued. The campsite of the Eighth Route Army was plowed for nearly 5 minutes.

Such a situation was really shocking, as if the sky was shaking, and the birds in the woods were frightened and flew away.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, Uchida Nobuo also directly issued an order for the general attack.

The old devil's offensive was fierce, and he adopted the simplest and crudest tactics of bombarding the infantry with artillery.

While the Eighth Route Army was still under the lingering power of artillery fire, they launched a general offensive in one fell swoop, trying to use the most brutal and effective tactics to quickly wipe out this Eighth Route Army unit.

The gunpowder smoke after the explosion of the shells still shrouded the woodland on this hill, and gradually faded and dissipated with the cold wind.

With the help of the cover of gunpowder smoke, the devils quickly penetrated into the campsite in the eighth road in the woodland. Simple triangular wooden houses with simple structures appeared in the sight of these devils, as well as some simple coarse cloth tents.

Pots and pans can even be seen among the camps.

The elite soldiers of the Kwantung Army rushed into the garrison fully armed, and quickly pointed their guns at the entrance of the wooden house or tent, and fired a firepower towards the inside. Then they went in and took a look, just wanting to see their own battle results , but found that the house was empty.

If such a situation is an example, that's all.

With the passage of time, nearly [-]% of the main force of the Uchida Brigade has poured into the station.

All the devils who rushed into this campsite were stunned to find that the wooden houses and tents were all empty.

The devil officer who took the lead immediately noticed the problem.

"Baga, the situation is not quite right, how come there is no Tubalu?"

"Nani? Where's the person?"

Then, a sentry returned in a hurry, holding in his hand a so-called Eighth Route Army sentry who was wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform and a military cap.

"Sir, we were fooled, this sentinel is fake!"

"Baga, I've been tricked, retreat quickly!" The leader of the Devil Squadron, panicked, even changed his tone.

beep beep beep beep beep beep—

Before the devil officer could issue the order, the entire garrison sounded from all directions in the mountains and forests, the sound of the charge horn unique to the Eighth Route Army, which was familiar to the little devil but made his scalp tingle.

This is the signal for the Eighth Route Army to launch an offensive...
