The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 612 Surprise (Second)

"Bageya Road... people, where is the Eighth Route Army that attacked you? Didn't you say that the stronghold was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army?" Seeing that there were only traces of firefights in front of him, but no enemy battlefield, the reinforcements led the team The vice-captain was like punching cotton, feeling angry and aggrieved.

Since the troops were transferred here, they have not fought a single battle except for patrols every day. It was hard for them to run into an Eighth Route Army, but it slipped away from my mouth. The anger in my heart can hardly be described in words. The team leader defending the stronghold can only be used as a punching bag.

"Sir, calm down..." The captain was also very aggrieved.

Whether the Eighth Route Army withdraws or not is not up to the individual, and the garrison in the stronghold is limited. They insist on withdrawing, but they can't stop it if they want to.

Taking a ten thousand step back, if I really have the strength to stop them, then I must have the strength to defend the stronghold, and there is no need to ask them for help. Isn't it good to get all the military exploits by yourself?

But in the highly hierarchical Japanese army, even if he was not at fault at all, he could only accept the criticism with a low head and could not directly refute it, otherwise his military career might be ruined.

After the vice-captain got tired of scolding, he replied in a low voice: "Sir, calm down, the Eighth Route Army attacking us has about 200 people, equipped with one heavy machine gun, four to five light machine guns, and one mortar."

"Although the equipment is good, the combat effectiveness is very poor. Most of the bullets and artillery shells have been missed. They have just retreated for less than 10 minutes. If the commander immediately led the troops to pursue them, they would be able to catch up with them in half an hour at most."

"Pursue into the mountains?" The vice-captain was moved after hearing this.

The reason why they didn't dare to lead troops into the mountains before was because Commander Okamura gave them a death order. The Beiping guerrilla detachment was hidden in the mountains.

It has now been confirmed that there is no main force of the Eighth Route Army in the mountains, only three guerrilla groups. The so-called Beiping guerrilla detachment does not exist, which means that there are no troops in the mountains that can threaten their safety.

Entering the mountain now is not considered a disobedience to the military order.

There is no chance to fight against the main force of the Eighth Route Army. If you can take advantage of it, it would be good to wipe out a few guerrillas.

The more the vice-captain thought about it, the more tempted he became, but this matter was not something he could decide.

Any transfer of troops above the size of the squadron in the brigade must be nodded by the brigade leader. Without the order of the brigade leader, he can only reinforce the Guanjiabao stronghold, and cannot lead troops into the mountains.

Immediately, he walked towards the blockhouse of the stronghold, and asked as he walked, "Can the phone connecting the stronghold to the town still work?"

"Ha Yi..." The captain quickly replied.

"Connect to the captain immediately, I want to talk to the captain." The deputy captain ran faster than before, giving orders as he walked.

…………

The brigade headquarters of the Japanese Army in Fangshan County, the head of the brigade is considering whether the reinforcement troops should go into the mountains to chase the guerrillas.

In case this is a trap, and the reinforcements only have half a brigade, and the lone army goes deep into the mountains, it must be more or less auspicious.

But he couldn't bear to let go of the good news of the elimination of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

The Beiping guerrilla detachment did not exist, and the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in the mountains became the target of the brigade commander to vent his anger. If they could take the opportunity to eliminate them, they would definitely wash away a lot of shame.

"Sir, since the Beiping guerrilla detachment was disguised by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, they have already returned to Yizhong, and there are no enemies in the mountains that can threaten the reinforcements. I suggest that the reinforcements go into the mountains immediately to pursue them." A captain of the main battle first Stand out and analyze.

"I object..." The other captain was much more cautious and shook his head in denial.

"Report from the garrison at the Guanjiapu stronghold: Although the Eighth Route Army attacking them had only 200 men, they were equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns. This shows that the Eighth Route Army left a lot of heavy weapons for the local guerrillas when they retreated."

"Until we figure out the number of these heavy weapons, our army must not enter the mountain rashly."

"Coward..." Another captain of the main battle cursed unceremoniously.

"You didn't listen to the report of the Guanjiapu garrison: Although the Eighth Route Army is equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, the hit rate is very low, which shows that they have not fully mastered these heavy weapons, especially mortars."

"If we don't take the opportunity to eliminate them, when the guerrillas fully master these heavy weapons, their combat effectiveness will definitely increase exponentially, and it will be difficult to eliminate them."

"When the commander reinforces our five thousand elites and goes south to support Baoding, the garrison in Fangshan will decrease. The guerrillas with heavy weapons will definitely not be reconciled to hiding in the mountains. What if they break out of the mountains and attack us everywhere?"

"Brigade commander, for the long-term stability of Fangshan county magistrate, we must immediately send troops into the mountains to wipe out the guerrillas, destroy the heavy weapons left to them by the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the wing, and not give them any chance to develop and grow."

The head of the brigade has been persuaded, but he didn't nod immediately, but turned his head to look at the person in charge of intelligence: "Mr. Zhongchuan, there are many of our intelligence agents in the mountain, and you should know more about the guerrillas than us. Say what you think."

"Hai..."

Zhongchuan Shaozuo replied with a serious face: "Information shows that there are three Eighth Route Army guerrillas operating in the mountains. They indeed have a lot of weapons and equipment. In order to strengthen their strength, they are recruiting everywhere."

"Mao'er Mountain is their base camp, and many weapons and ammunition are hidden there."

"Intelligence officers often hear the gunshots of soldiers training, but they can't investigate in depth, they can only estimate from the gunshots."

The head of the brigade became interested all of a sudden, and asked with anticipation, "How many of them are training in Mao'er Mountain?"

"About more than 200 people... There are another 200 people divided into three groups, recruiting recruits in the mountains..." Nakagawa Shaozuo thought for a while and replied.

The head of the brigade frowned after hearing this, and said very dissatisfied: "Bageya Road... such an important matter, why didn't you report it to me immediately."

"Please calm down, General..." Shao Zuo Zhongchuan hurriedly explained.

"More than 200 Eighth Route Army training in Mao'er Mountain is just a humble inference, there is no definite evidence."

"Xiaozhi intends to report to you after obtaining the evidence... But from the analysis of the strength of the guerrillas attacking the Guanjiapu stronghold, this figure should be accurate."

"The three guerrilla teams mobilized more than 200 elites to concentrate on Mao'er Mountain for special training. After forming combat effectiveness, they raided the Guanjiabao stronghold. However, they did not expect our army's reinforcements to arrive so quickly and had to withdraw from the battle ahead of time."

"The remaining more than 100 people in the mountains are all recruits who have just been recruited, and their combat effectiveness is very poor. This is a humble position that dares to issue a military order."

"If the general sends troops into the mountains, there is no need to worry about the more than 100 Eighth Route Army."

As soon as Zhongchuan Shaozuo finished speaking, the captains of the main battle couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up and asked for the battle: "General, can you give me an order?"

"If the reinforcements don't enter the mountain again, the Eighth Route Army attacking the Guanjiapu stronghold will flee."

"If they are allowed to escape and fully grasp the heavy weapons left to them by the No. [-] Central Eighth Route Army, their combat effectiveness will definitely increase exponentially, and it will be difficult to eliminate them..."

"General, give an order..." The remaining captains of the main battle stood up one after another to ask for a fight.

Several officers who opposed entering the mountain stopped talking.

Facts have proved that now is indeed an excellent opportunity for reinforcements to go into the mountains to hunt down the Eighth Route Army, and if you miss it, it will be gone.

The last worry in the head of the brigade disappeared, and he made a decisive decision: "Let the reinforcements enter the mountain immediately to pursue."

…………

Jinniupo is about ten kilometers away from the Guanjiabao stronghold, and it is a hilly area with a very low altitude.

In other hilly areas, the roads usually go at the foot of the mountain, and the troops hide on the top of the mountain, and the pocket formation is formed.

The road here runs along the ridge, and it doesn't look like an ambush place.

Huang Yu liked to fight by surprise, and Zhang Xuan was by his side every day, which was deeply affected, which made him start to like to fight dangerous and strange battles.

Fang Yu, deputy political commissar, believed that this place was not suitable for ambushes, and the battlefield should be moved back three kilometers.Zhang Xuan didn't believe in evil, so he decided to catch him by surprise, so he chose this place for the ambush.

The mountain ridges are bare, and there is no place to hide soldiers.

Zhang Xuan found another way, digging individual bunkers to hide his soldiers on the side of the road.

In his words, when a devil walks on the top of the mountain, even if he is killed, he would never expect that there will be an ambush here, and his vigilance must be particularly poor.

In addition, the ambush time was set at night, and the Japanese army's vision was limited. Even if individual bunkers were dug on the side of the road, as long as they were well concealed, the little devils would not be able to find them.

This way of fighting can also surprise the little devil at close range.

After the battle started, except for light and heavy machine guns and sharpshooters who kept killing the enemy with bullets, ordinary riflemen could throw grenades after firing a round of bullets.

There is not even a place for Tibetans on the mountain ridge.

Hundreds of grenades fell from the sky, some exploded after landing, and some exploded in the air. No matter how strong the fighting power of the kid entering the mountain was, he would be bombed and suffer heavy casualties.

If one round of grenades is not enough, throw two rounds, if two rounds are not enough, throw three rounds, and launch an assault after throwing the grenades. The final victory must belong to the guerrilla brigade.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan was hiding in a single-soldier bunker at the entrance of the pocket formation, observing the situation outside through the gap in the thatch above his head.

There was silence everywhere around, and there was no movement, and I couldn't help feeling nervous.

This is the first battle I have commanded since the establishment of the guerrilla brigade. It must be won, and it would be a lie to say that it is not nervous.

Now he is most worried that the little devil will not be fooled, and the bunker under his feet will be dug in vain.

"chief of staff……"

A figure suddenly appeared at the end of the road, galloped towards him, and reported excitedly before getting into the bunker: "The little devil has sent troops."

"Two infantry squadrons one behind the other, half a mortar squadron and half a heavy machine gun squadron in the middle, exactly [-] people, the whole army hugged into a group, followed by a company to kill here, marching very fast, vigilant Also bad."

Zhang Xuan's face immediately burst into joy, and the nervous expression on his face was swept away immediately, and he said with a smile on his face: "Haha... the little devil was fooled, half the brigade is not too much, and it just happens to be swallowed by us in one gulp." !"

"Notify the troops to prepare for battle. If I don't shoot, no one can shoot in advance."
