In addition to arranging cavalry patrol teams on the periphery, many lurking posts were also deployed.In some open areas, heavy machine gun positions have begun to be built.In the core area, the artillery wing they carried was also properly deployed.

In this case, if the Eighth Route Army dispatched a small force to attack, the blocking forces deployed on the periphery would be able to drive them away.If the Eighth Route Army sent a large force to attack at night, it would be easier for the Japanese army to defend in such an open area.

They just need to concentrate their heavy machine guns. In this kind of unobstructed place, no matter how many people the Eighth Route Army sends, it's useless.It is precisely because of the terrain around this small village that the third brigade will start camping here to rest for the night.

In the evening, wisps of cooking smoke floated around the small village.For the soldiers of the 12rd Brigade, they also knew that they had arrived here, not far from the No.[-] Division.As long as the two armies converge, it is believed that their chances of successfully breaking through will increase greatly.

Along the way, many of their broken jade soldiers had no choice but to burn them on the spot and pack them away.The transportation unit responsible for collecting the ashes of those jade-broken soldiers has already packed everything that can hold the ashes.

Many Japanese soldiers even knew that there were still some soldiers whose corpses were too late to restrain themselves.When the former team first received the order, their battle was extremely difficult.Fortunately, in the past few days, this pressure has been significantly relieved.

Knowing that the brigade might join the No.12 division tomorrow, the officers and soldiers of the brigade seemed to feel that tonight's dinner tasted much sweeter and more delicious.But they all understand that there can be no slack in this last night.

The more critical they are, the more careful they must be.This is also what their brigade leader strictly ordered his subordinates to do.Because of this, the troops in charge of the night watch tonight are also more vigilant than before.

When the Japanese army began to enjoy dinner, some troops began to prepare for rest.The artillery brigade, which had rested for a day in advance, began to enter the pre-selected artillery positions, and the armored regiment was also ready for the assault.

With the experience of the Japanese army camping for the previous two nights, Wang Tianlin and Xu Renyi, the commander of the second division in charge of blocking, also expected that the third brigade might choose this small village to stay overnight.They even set up blocking positions on the road in front of the small village.

In Wang Tianlin's words, if the Japanese army didn't spend the night here, they would have to spend the night here.Fortunately, the Japanese army chose to rest overnight in Xiaocun, just as they expected.

As for the blocking position they arranged, the third brigade tried to attack twice.Discovering that the second division had built a blocking position, they did not launch a fierce attack, but withdrew the attacking troops and returned to the small village to rest.

With the help of the advance Japanese attack time, the troops serving as the brigade's rear guard have built simple but effective blocking fortifications around the small village.In this way, when the attacking troops withdraw, they can just return to the temporary camp to rest.

In the evening, the cavalry patrol team deployed by the Japanese army on the periphery soon encountered the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance cavalry team who came to conduct reconnaissance.The cavalry from both sides started fighting outside the small village.Not long after, the Japanese cavalry team withdrew to the defensive circle.

Seeing the heavy machine gun positions in the outer defensive circle, the cavalry squad of the Eighth Route Army also retreated back in fear.In this way, everything seems to have hardly changed much from the previous tactics.

For these Eighth Route Army reconnaissance cavalry squads conducting reconnaissance on the periphery, the Japanese army who retreated into the outer defensive circle also ignored these Eighth Route Army reconnaissance cavalry.As long as the Eighth Route Army scouts dare to approach, their heavy machine guns will fire violently.

In such an open area, the Eighth Route Army's reconnaissance cavalry could only wander a mile away, not daring to get too close to their outer defensive positions.After all, the lethality of heavy machine guns against cavalry is often devastating.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance cavalry squad leaving with a little disappointment, the Japanese soldiers guarding the outer defensive positions also said arrogantly: "Baga! These Eighth Route Army cavalry are cowards, and they dare not charge us once!"

'Xiao Tengjun!They must have seen the heavy machine gun positions we have set up. In such an open area, their cavalry simply cannot rush into our defensive circle.Rushing over, isn't it obvious that you are going to die?These cavalry are still very smart! '

'yes!To deal with the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, our heavy machine guns are the most effective!As long as they dare to rush over, they will all be wiped out!I really want to see how our heavy machine guns slaughtered these Eighth Route Army cavalry! '

These Japanese machine gunners were arrogantly looking forward to the time when the Eighth Route Army cavalry rushed into battle.What they didn't know was that these wandering Eighth Route Army reconnaissance cavalry were ordered to drive the little devil's cavalry into their defensive circle.

When the little devil's cavalry patrol team was no longer visible on the periphery, Wang Tianlin, who was in the command room, immediately said: "Okay! We must hurry up tonight! Order the artillery brigade to shell the small village.

At the same time, the artillery regiment of the second division was ordered to cooperate with the artillery brigade to carry out the artillery sound.I want to let the little devil know what artillery coverage is.These two days have always made their artillery rampant, let them feel the power of our artillery tonight. "

'Yes, Chief of Staff! '

'correct!In addition, tell the Second Cavalry Division to let them carry out an assault with the armored regiment later.The second regiment of the reconnaissance brigade will cooperate with the armored regiment in a quick assault. What the second cavalry division has to do is to rush in and disrupt their defensive formation for me.

For the rest of the troops, all they had to do was tighten their pockets.Tonight, I will wipe out the third independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army.The son of a bitch still wants to meet up with the No.12 division, let them go underground to meet up tomorrow! '

For Wang Tianlin and the commanders of the Second Division, fighting and retreating these days really made them feel a little depressed.After all, retreating as a soldier is somewhat embarrassing.What's more, they are the main force keen to attack.

Fortunately, they all knew that the commander was playing a big game of chess.And tonight is the time for them to reap the fruits of victory.The depression accumulated for several days can almost be vented tonight.

Just as the regiment leaders of the third brigade, which was formed independently, gathered in the temporary combat command room in Xiaocun to discuss the tasks of each regiment tomorrow.Three fiery flares rose into the air, instantly making them understand that all deployments were in vain.

Because they can no longer see the rising sun tomorrow! (To be continued.)

For soldiers on the battlefield, seeing signal flares will cause involuntary tension.Because, seeing the signal flare often means that there will be a big battle.In particular, flares appear very suddenly.

The small village has already fallen into the night, because the terrain is very open.In such an open environment, the three flares soaring into the sky immediately attracted the attention of many people.Looking at these three flares emitting dazzling light, the Japanese army felt that something was wrong.

It's a pity that they didn't wait for them to guess what was going to happen.The Japanese soldiers staying in the small village heard the roaring sound coming from all around.From these voices, many Japanese officers immediately realized what was going to happen.

Dodge the shelling of the Eighth Route Army, quickly find a cover and hide

The Japanese troops on the outskirts of the small village frantically searched for cover to avoid the shelling.The Japanese soldiers living in the small village were also panicked by the hurried whistle, and the sound of shelling seemed to be heard everywhere.

The head of the Japanese brigade, who was in a meeting, was wondering what happened outside.The guards outside had already pushed open the door of the conference room, and said nervously, "General, please hide with us from the shelling of the Eighth Route Army."

The shelling of the Eighth Route Army in Nani

Just when the head of the brigade felt that the Eighth Route Army only used some mortars during this period, according to the distance from the outer positions they set.The opponent's mortar should not be able to reach Xiaocun.But it looks like it's not a mortar

Just when the joint leaders of the brigade were also surprised.The violent explosion sounded from Xiaocun, making everyone feel that the house was shaking.This trembling quickly stunned the whole group of people in the room.

General Baga, when is this heavy artillery, the Eighth Route Army still has heavy artillery

When the captain couldn't help but say this, the captain of the guard said anxiously: "General, fellow captains, this is not a place for chatting, please come out of the room quickly. We need to hide in the artillery hole."

If a cannonball really fell on this room, then the whole brigade would really be left without a leader.In this case, the captain of the guard almost pulled and dragged, and urgently transferred the group of people to the dug anti-bomb hole.

It's a pity that there are not many such blast holes.After all, most of the artillery counterattacks of the Eighth Route Army in the past two days have focused on mortars.In the eyes of these Japanese troops, the range of the mortars could not reach Xiaocun at all.

This anti-blasting hole was more just excavated by engineers for the sake of insurance.Now it seems that this foresight is still very necessary.

The head of the brigade and the captain of the regiment who hid in the anti-aircraft cave looked a little stunned when they saw the fierce artillery fire covering the small village.They never thought that the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire would be so sharp and violent.

Baga, this is at least the firepower of an artillery brigade. When did the Eighth Route Army have such a powerful artillery?

Looking at the artillery fire raging in their defense zone, even the head of the Japanese brigade with an artillery wing in his hand felt unbelievable.He never thought that the Eighth Route Army had hidden such a huge artillery unit.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Go back to your respective units immediately and prepare for battle. After the bombardment stops, I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army will launch a fierce attack on us. We must withstand their attack and persist until dawn."

Hi

The group captains, facing such strict orders from the head of the brigade, also knew that whether they could withstand the next attack of the Eighth Route Army was related to whether they could live to see the rising sun tomorrow.At this time, no one dares to spare their lives

The Japanese Artillery Wing, which was still very arrogant a few days ago, couldn't raise the heart to fight back when it saw such a fierce Eighth Route Army artillery attack.Because they all know that the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is much stronger than theirs.

The most important thing was their preset artillery positions. Unfortunately, during the first round of shelling, they were baptized by the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army.Although the damage was not very serious, it also caused them heavy losses.

After receiving the order from the head of the brigade, the captain in charge of the artillery wing could only strictly order the artillery to start a counterattack.It's a pity that their counterattack seemed so weak tonight.

Facing the shells flying from all sides of Xiaocun, they could only choose one side to fight back.As a result, not long after the counterattack, a round of overwhelming shells directly covered their artillery positions.

Not long after, the head of the Japanese brigade who was staying in the anti-battery cave received a grim expression from the staff officer: "General, our artillery regiment has been severely damaged and almost lost its combat effectiveness. The counterattack artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce."

Knowing the forces that have ordered us to guard the frontier, prepare for battle.The shelling of the Eighth Route Army stopped, and it was believed that it was time for their infantry to attack.Send our reserves, wait a minute, to the forward positions.

yes general

Judging from the artillery strikes of the Eighth Route Army at this moment, both the heavy artillery and the 75 field artillery are responsible for the strikes where the village is located.The artillery fire of the rest of the Eighth Route Army was aimed at the forward positions of the Japanese army and the barracks with tents.
