Answer to the two army commanders, just say that the Japanese aircraft are raging at present, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, thank them for their kindness.We have the ability and strength to withstand the counterattack of the Japanese army, so don't be ashamed of them, and don't fall into the Japanese army's plan to lure the snake out of the hole. "

After the reply of this telegram, Xu Youchang and Feng Zhian breathed a sigh of relief, but also realized that the little devil suddenly took the initiative to attack, and it turned out that there was another intention, which was to lure their hidden troops to appear.

In fact, the little devil's plane was watching overhead, and as soon as the reinforcements they sent appeared, they would be massacred by the little devil's plane.Before, they were worried about the safety of the 67th Army, but now they are concerned.

At this moment, the Japanese infantry brigade, which was responsible for the offensive mission, originally planned to take advantage of the time of shelling to rush under the blocking position built by the Eighth Route Army.What they didn't expect was that they had to stop before they got close to the position.

The troops in front stepped on landmines buried on the road one after another.The captain of the Japanese army who led the team also gritted his teeth and said, "Baga, how could they plant landmines in front of their blocking positions? Aren't they afraid of self-injury?"

The Eighth Route Army, the commander of the Japanese army, seized their southern position and surrounded them. Presumably, there was a plan to attack them.And this road is also the passage for the Eighth Route Army to attack the town.

Isn't it asking for trouble if you plant mines on the way to the army's attack?

But the Eighth Route Army just did it, and the most terrible thing is that they fell into the trap and became the Eighth Route Army's free minesweepers.This unexpected approach undoubtedly made the attacking little devil feel like crying without tears.

'Quickly, the engineers stepped forward and cleared mines as quickly as possible! '

'Hi! '

The engineering team that had been staying behind quickly ran to the front to prepare for mine clearance.Before the attack, they already knew that the Eighth Route Army had planted mines on the road.But after the Eighth Route Army built the blocking fortifications, those mines were taken out by the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that they don't know that the landmines taken by the Eighth Route Army were buried in front of the little devil's blocking position.Since the little devil would not come out, the Eighth Route Army took out these mines in advance, no doubt to clear the way for the attack.

But no one would have thought that those landmines that were taken away were in turn buried at the front of the Eighth Route Army's blocking positions.This allowed the little devils who came here to taste the power of these landmines again.

The Japanese aircraft, which also carried out reconnaissance in the air, constantly patrolled the ground conditions in the south and other directions.Of course, the focus of reconnaissance is still the southern position that they need to focus on.

To the frustration of the reconnaissance pilots, the situation in the south was similar to that of the previous reconnaissance.Even the woods they bombed before can still smog at this time.

Except for the positions of the Eighth Route Army receiving artillery at this moment, it was difficult for Japanese scouts to find any traces of the Eighth Route Army's activities in the south.This made the pilot feel that the No. 16 Division was wrong in its intelligence, and that it overestimated the Eighth Route Army.

Many Japanese military pilots who have an understanding of ancient Chinese culture have heard the story of the empty city strategy.No matter how I search now, I can't find any traces of the Eighth Route Army troops on the ground. Could this be the same as the empty city plan?

The air force pilots who also paid attention to the ground attack force kept circling overhead, while the infantrymen who were also charging forward were stopped by the sound of explosions from the road.

Just as the engineers began to go out to clear the mines, a few gunshots suddenly came from the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army shrouded in artillery fire.Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, several Japanese mine-sweeping engineers fell.

'Baga, enemy attack! '

Hearing the gunshots, the man was shot and fell to the ground, and the engineers who were not hit quickly got down.During this period of time, the engineers of the No.16 Division were already familiar with this situation.Every time they cleared mines, they were in fear.

Because when they clear mines, they are often taken care of by snipers from the Eighth Route Army.For these life-threatening snipers, as long as the engineers still want to live, there is almost no one who is not afraid.

A few gunshots brought the minesweeping of the Japanese infantry brigade to a halt in an instant.In the blink of an eye, the Japanese infantry captain who was in charge of the attack also knew that the plane above his head could not stay there all the time!

Thinking of this, the infantry captain gritted his teeth and said, "Grenadiers, mortar squadrons, bombard the road ahead and detonate those buried mines. We must buy time and take down the front positions."

When manpower cannot clear mines, force can only be used to clear mines.Although this kind of demining is a bit extravagant, compared to continuing to waste time, the infantry captain thinks it is worth a try.

For the spent shells, just send someone back to the town to replenish them later.Anyway, this time, their No. 16 Division has a lot of weapons and ammunition in reserve.It would be no problem to waste some shells.

The observation posts that had been watching the actions of the Japanese infantry, the army's grenadiers and artillery, began to bombard the road in sections, detonating the landmines buried under the road one by one, and felt that the little devil was quite smart.

But even so, it is almost impossible to take down the blocking position where there are already two main battalions with only one infantry brigade.And it turns out that the observation post was right.

After the shelling stopped, the Japanese infantry brigade immediately launched an attack.The Eighth Route Army guarding the position resolutely counterattacked, making it difficult for the Japanese infantry attacking the position.The little devil's plan to win the position in a short time, I'm afraid it will be in vain again! (To be continued.)

The fifth and sixth chapters meet with continuous rain

The Japanese plane that came to support the second time dropped the bombs it was carrying at random, and then left over the town again.Please search ()!The troops who had a short break also knew that it was their turn to attack again.

As for the counterattack plan arranged by the little devil, with the departure of these planes, it had to be suspended.The reason is that after these planes left, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army's blocking positions increased rapidly.

This kind of battle in which one's own side fought less and less, while the opponent fought more and more, finally made the Japanese infantry commander realize that they had no way to win the Eighth Route Army's position.As for the follow-up counterattack plan, it can only be aborted.

Fujie Keisuke, who also received the report from the front line, could only say angrily: "Baga, incompetent! With the cooperation of artillery and planes, an infantry brigade can't take down a small position. This brigade captain is too incompetent and he must make him apologize. Be faithful!"

It was normal for Fujie Keisuke, who was anxious to get angry, to be furious after finally coming up with a plan to break the situation.But as the chief of staff of the division, he knew that the infantry captain had tried his best.

I can only persuade: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this time we still underestimated the combat strength of the Eighth Route Army. On the ground, they built tunnels that could avoid shelling and air defense, and hid thousands of troops there.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army planted a large number of landmines at the front of their positions, which caused the infantry brigade's attack to be frustrated and missed the best time to attack.It is understandable that the attack is not smooth.

What's more, according to the news they just sent, the infantry captain finally participated in the attack in person, but was hit by a bullet in the abdomen.To be on the safe side, I think they should be ordered to withdraw. "

Although he is the head of the division, Keisuke Fujie has not been in charge of the No.16 division for a long time.It can be said that he has to take into account the suggestions of the chief of staff of the division and the head of the brigade of the division.

Even if the ranks of the Japanese army are strict, but the chief of staff who is also a general, if he really wants to save the life of a captain, Fujie Keisuke really wants to give some face.And at this time, it is really inappropriate to deal with a heroic assistant officer!

He was still a little unwilling, but considering that the good opportunity to counterattack had been missed, Keisuke Fujie could only agree to the chief of staff's suggestion.He ordered the captain of the Japanese infantry battalion, who had been wiped out by half, to withdraw from the battle and return to the town.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from pursuing, when the infantry brigade retreated, the little devil also provided artillery cover.In this way, the surviving Japanese infantry could safely carry the wounded soldiers back to the town quickly.

Knowing that the attacking little devil brigade had withdrawn, He Zhengdao didn't pay much attention and said, "Did the saber get in?"

'Report to the commander, a combat team has sneaked into the town, and the little devil didn't notice.In addition, the camouflage battalion commanded by Lin Tie also mixed into a platoon.At this time, they had already entered the town. '

'good!The little devils want to lure the snakes out of the hole, so I will give them a dark array.As long as they sneak into the town, I think the surprise attack on us tonight will also play a major role.We need to ask the two army commanders for help. '

'Commander, with such a busy schedule, Commander Xu and Commander Feng probably won't have time to be happy! '

After learning that the Japanese infantry brigade really attacked and launched an attack, He Zhengdao gave combat orders to the camouflage battalion lurking outside the town and a special warfare unit.

While the little devil was killing him, he began to sneak into it carefully.When the little devil retreated back to the town, he followed these retreating troops into the town.As long as they sneak into the town, He Zhengdao believes that they can stay.

In a small town with a concentration of tens of thousands of people, dozens of special operators and scouts who can speak Japanese and are familiar with the rules of the Japanese army are mixed in.Unless the Japanese army conducts a large-scale investigation, it will be difficult to find out the people who got in.

No one would have thought that the Eighth Route Army would make such a bold move at such a time.As for the Japanese infantry brigade responsible for the attack, more than half of its troops were lost.At this time, there would not be too much suspicion if there were dozens of people scattered.

As long as they sneak into the town safely, these dozens of combat members are like swimming dragons into the sea.The little devil wants to find them out, unless he turns the whole town upside down.He Zhengdao felt that such a special operation could be successfully completed by the special operations team.

After repelling the little devil's counterattack, He Zhengdao also sent someone to the 71st Army to send a map of the little devil's troops in the north.Song Xilian was also surprised by the military deployment map.

Asked: "Chen Battalion Commander, how did you get this troop deployment plan?"

"Mr. Song, this is the intelligence we dispatched from the reconnaissance force obtained from the rear of the Japanese army.They only sent out the information when the Japanese planes appeared before.Of course, this firepower deployment map may also change.

It's just that when our scouts sent back the information earlier, our army commander confessed to send this defense map to the army commander Song.After all, everyone has the same goal this time, and they all hope to solve the little devils in the town as soon as possible.

If Commander Song doesn't believe it, we won't say anything more.At least our army commander, I still hope that this picture can help you.In addition, he asked me to convey a word, that is, he hoped that Commander Song would not be too eager for success.

Right now, the little devils have an obvious advantage, and their firepower is equally strong.If you attack by force, the price is too high.And today's weather, I think there should be rain in the afternoon or evening.Fighting again at that time may have a better chance of winning.

At least tonight, we'll do something about it.If Commander Song believes in us, everyone can cooperate to try to solve the little devil in the town tonight.We don't have many troops, but it's okay to be a pioneer. '

As soon as these words came out, Song Xilian's eyes lit up immediately and said, "What does Battalion Commander Chen mean, you have already thought of a way to enter the town?"

'Not this one!It's just that we have dispatched small teams one after another to sneak into the surrounding town.It's daytime now, so it's not easy to mix in too many people.If it's evening, maybe there will be some opportunities.
