Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Just when the Japanese army and the Central Army were frantically looking for the movement of the new 67th Army that had left camp at night.On the second day, the new 67th Army sent out batches of troops again.These troops marched separately in units of regiments and battalions.

And the convoy that sent the troops back last night also returned to the camp smoothly at dawn.These car transport teams also transported truckloads of supplies to the Huaibin frontline battlefield.

Looking at these troops marching in broad daylight, the Japanese intelligence department responsible for monitoring the march of the New 67th Army quickly forwarded the information to the Second Army and the Third Division.For this reason, the Third Division also knew that the Eighth Route Army was already in action.

The Third Division, which was resting in Fuyang, also responded quickly when it received a telegram from the intelligence department.The rest of the troops ended early, and the troops of the division began to march towards Huaibin, not wanting to give the Eighth Route Army too much preparation time.

The head of the division, Susumu Fujita, even quickly said: "Give power to the military headquarters, and request the Army Aviation Unit to send fighter planes to carry out air reconnaissance and air strikes in Xinyang. Be sure to find out the marching movements of the Eighth Route Army and give them a destruction blow.

Secondly, let our intelligence department in Xinyang try to get the deployment map of the Eighth Route Army as much as possible.Another unit that needs attention is the 77th Army stationed in Guyang.Let's see what kind of combat deployment they will have next.

The marching speed of the division does not need to be too fast, but the distance between the marching of each unit should not be too large.Forward troops, no advance is allowed without my order.This time, we can't give them a chance to sneak attack, understand? "

'Hi! '

In Fujita Shin's view, although he has to deal with the troops of the two armies this time.In terms of military strength alone, there is a huge gap between them.But Susumu Fujita also knows that winning a war does not rely on numbers, and the combat effectiveness of troops is also a key.

At least in Fujita Shin's view, Fujita undoubtedly did not believe that the Eighth Route Army could fight them one-to-one.In the previous battle with the Central Army, one of his infantry brigades was able to defeat the main force of the Central Army.

This time, his division, together with the attached supply troops and the local garrison, also exceeded 3 people.With such a troop size, what are you afraid of dealing with a troop that has suffered serious losses and has not yet been replenished, and a troop that has little combat effectiveness?

It is one thing to have self-confidence in the heart, but Fujita Susumu also dare not be careless.After all, this independent column of the Eighth Route Army that was born out of nowhere and annihilated their four divisions did seem a bit evil, and there would be no big mistake if you were careful.

As long as the Eighth Route Army is not given the opportunity to sneak attack, Fujita Shin believes that he is sure to win in a frontal battle.This is also why, when Fujita Jin issued a combat order, he strictly prohibited the commander of the army from being greedy for meritorious deeds.

If the defense maps of the two troops can be obtained, then Fujita Shin will be able to analyze the weak points of the opponent's defense line.Once the gap in the opponent's defense line is torn open, the rest of the battle will undoubtedly be to hunt down and kill these defeated troops.

After all, the troops he had contacted before, as long as there was a change in the frontline battle, all the troops would fall into chaos and collapse.Therefore, how to find an appropriate opportunity to tear a hole is very important! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Compared with the main force of the New 67th Army, it has always been under the attention of many people. If there is any movement in normal times, most of them will fall into the observation of others.If you want to develop your strength covertly, you naturally need to think more ways.

But for those fighters who were killed and wounded in battle, most of them transformed into guerrillas scattered all over the place.Of course, there are armed independent battalions scattered all over the country, and their actions appear to be relatively concealed and free.

Since the New 67th Army arrived in Huaibin City, there was apparently an independent battalion operating here to protect the guerrillas scattered in various villages.In fact, the troops of the Eighth Route Army here are far less than an independent battalion.

When the Central China Expeditionary Army began to mobilize the Third Division and planned to continue the offensive from Fuyang, the Eighth Route Army squadron that entered Anhui under the name of the martial arts team had already scattered in the urban-rural junction and nearby mountainous areas occupied by the Japanese army.

The arrival of these martial arts teams, mostly in the name of the guards, attacked those country gentlemen who took refuge in the little devils, and from time to time they also found trouble with those who had been incorporated into the puppet army, and rarely disturbed the Japanese garrison in the county.

With the existence of these martial arts teams, the Third Division has actually been under the surveillance of the Eighth Route Army all the way from its entry into Fuyang.The news that the third division had finished its rest and started heading towards Huaibin was quickly reported to He Zhengdao.

He Zhengdao, who had already established a combat headquarters in the mountains near Huaibin, looked at the telegram just sent by the correspondent. He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "It seems that the little devils are also moving very quickly. I think they know we are coming!"

Chief of Staff Luo Ruiqing also smiled and said: "The little devil's intelligence gathering ability here is still very strong! Although we didn't let them know about our march last night, we can't hide it from them during the march during the day!"

'yes!This battle is probably not easy for the little devil.Some tricks have been used for the first time, and if you want to use them again, I'm afraid it will not be easy.However, this place is now our territory.

Send a telegram to the Second Reconnaissance Regiment so that they can start their operations.Starting today, the road from Fuyang to Huaibin will be fully blocked.Let the car group bring them a truckload of mines, and let the reconnaissance group treat the little devils coming from afar.

Order our guerrillas near the highway to do a good job of evacuating the people.The mistakes made last time cannot be repeated this time anyway.The reconnaissance team was responsible for the harassment, and the guerrillas were responsible for the surveillance.

As long as the little devils do not enter the village to harass the people, the guerrillas are not allowed to attack the Japanese army without authorization.Once a Japanese army deviates from their marching route, let the reconnaissance team find a way to join the guerrillas to encircle and wipe them out.

In a word, when little devils walk on the road, they must try their best to make them unhappy.If the little devils don't take the road, they have to find a way to drive them back to the road.Only in this way can the safety of the people along the route be ensured. '

Following He Zhengdao's order, a car loaded with landmines also set off from Huaibin to the ambush points along the way at nightfall.The mines on the car were also distributed to the troops one after another.

Although he had not been in the Dabie Mountains for a long time, when He Zhengdao went south, what his troops stored most were mines.At least in He Zhengdao's opinion, landmines are the best and most economical defensive weapon, and the most troublesome defensive weapon for the enemy.

Even with the progress of the arsenal in mine fuzes and research and development, landmines developed during the War of Resistance, such as ceramic mines and stone mines, have been developed one after another.Not to mention the cheap cost, it also makes it hard for little devils to guard against.

Some mines are being used in actual combat, and even the little devil's mine-sweeping engineers can't detect them at all.The minesweepers they used to sweep the mines were completely useless.Many professional mine-sweeping jobs have died on this special mine.

Following He Zhengdao's order, the vanguard of the Japanese Third Division had just walked out of Fuyang not far away.The infantry brigade in charge of fighting the vanguard looked very dissatisfied and angry when they saw the few soldiers who were blown away.

He said directly: "Bageya Road! How could there be landmines here? Didn't a caravan pass by just now?"

'Captain, it is estimated that the Eighth Route Guerrilla did something.Most of these guerrillas are in groups of three or four. Presumably they know that we are going to attack Xinyang, so they use landmines to prevent our large troops from advancing, right? '

'Have the sappers been sent up? '

'It's over!Minesweeping is in progress! '

When the captain asked, the engineers in charge of mine clearance also quickly took out or detonated several detected mines.After some inspections, the engineering team leader reported: "Captain, the mines have been cleared!"

'Yo breath!Command the troops, keep going! '

Seeing that the engineers cleared the landmines on the road so quickly, the infantry captain, who was the vanguard, still seemed very satisfied.This also shows that there are not many people who plant landmines, and naturally the number of mines they carry is not many.

But the troops advanced less than one kilometer, and the vanguard team in charge of exploring the road heard several explosions of landmines again.The troops following the advance were again ordered to stop advancing.The reason is that there are landmines on the road ahead.

It was still the same, the engineers detonated the landmine not long after investigating.The road seems to be clear again.But every time a landmine is found, it takes at least an hour to check the mines and move on.

After all, the work of minesweeping must be very meticulous, and a single omission may overlook a mine.In this way, the troops may suffer losses during the march.It is faster and faster to directly detonate the mine without digging it up.

But stopping and going one after another is also a very demoralizing thing for the marching troops.Each time, the opponent planted more than a dozen mines, but they were distributed on the road hundreds of meters away.

The triggering of landmines often leads to the casualties of several soldiers.After walking like this for a long time, the captain of the Japanese infantry battalion quickly saw the regiment captain who was following him, and rushed up from behind with a look of dissatisfaction.

He said with a dissatisfied expression: "Baga, it took half a day to set off, and you didn't even walk ten kilometers. If this is the case, how long will it take for our main force to reach Xinyang? Your speed is too slow!"

Facing the reprimand of the captain, the captain also said helplessly: "Captain, the enemy has planted landmines on the road, and they used a very shameless way of laying mines. We planted a batch of mines every other section of the road, and we cleared them today. Ten batches of landmines."

'Nah!Landmines, does our enemy want to use this method to prevent our large forces from advancing? '

As the captain of the regiment, after hearing the captain's report, he also knew that landmines were indeed a powerful defensive weapon when used properly.The lethality of landmines often leads to non-combat attrition of troops.

After all, a landmine has a lot of fragments. Once it is detonated, any soldiers who are relatively close will be injured.For one wounded, two combatants are often required to provide care.

In this way, the non-combat attrition of troops will become very serious.Most importantly, this kind of injury and explosion from time to time really affects the morale of the army.That's why the captain said that this tactic was shameless.

'idiot!Adjust a car from the rear and give the car some extra tires.Use a car to open the road, and find that there are landmine engineers to clean up immediately.In this case, you can reduce your casualties and speed up your progress. '

Most of the landmines taken out by engineers are light anti-personnel mines.The joint leader quickly thought of the way to open the road with a car.In this way, at least to a certain extent, casualties can be avoided.

Even if the tires of the car might explode, compared to causing casualties to the troops, a few tires are still a little less troublesome.The tire was detonated, and after the mines were cleared, just replace it with a good tire.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance squad who were waiting for the Japanese army at the mine site saw the little devil let a car lead, and soon thought of what the little devil was up to.He couldn't help cursing inwardly: "The little devil is really shady!"

'Shit!If you want to use a car to go to thunder, then I will give you some big ones!Go to someone, inform the small team in front, let them bury a big guy in front.If you want to use a car to clear the way, there are no doors! '

As a result, the little devils forward brigade, who had just tasted a car minesweeping and only changed one tire, but did not suffer any casualties, naturally seemed very happy.I feel that this move will break the landmine attack of the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that before they were happy for a long time, the infantry who followed the car a hundred meters away suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the front.The slow-moving car was blown up and turned over.You know, things are troublesome!

'idiot!What kind of landmine is that, and why is it so powerful? '
