Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Zhu Xinwen, who had been staying in the blocking position, also heard gunshots coming from the front of the position from time to time.Looking at the reconnaissance battalion commander beside him, he said, "If you provoke the little devil like this, I'm afraid it will anger the little devil, right?"

'No problem!We used to do this kind of thing a lot.It can be seen from the arrival of the little devils that the reinforcements have not yet launched an attack. These little devils are probably thinking of fighting at night, and the troops should be resting now.

They want to have a good rest, but we don't let him do so.As for the harassing team I sent out, it is probably not possible for the little devil to get cheap from them.The enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy camps and we harass, this is the characteristic of our operations! '

After explaining with a smile, the reconnaissance battalion commander continued: "By the way, I just received a telegram from the brigade commander. A regiment of the 116th Division has arrived in Zhengzhou, and they are currently resting. On this day, they Also exhausted!"

'What?Our main force has arrived?I thought they would arrive even later! '

In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the third garrison regiment, Zhu Xinwen was undoubtedly their regiment commander and a regimental-level officer of the garrison brigade. Not many people really knew Zhu Xinwen's true identity.Even in the reconnaissance battalion, not many people know his identity.

Of course, the reconnaissance battalion commander in front of him who cooperated with Zhu Xinwen naturally knew that Zhu Xinwen was a secret agent sent by the party to lurk in Zhengzhou.His identity will also be officially activated this time.

Once the Eighth Route Army really controls the situation in Zhengzhou in the future, officers on the secret front like Zhu Xinwen will also be transferred back to Yan'an to study.After their studies are over, they will be assigned corresponding positions and jobs again.

In short, for Zhu Xinwen, as long as he wins this battle well, his future in the party and the army will be bright.Compared with being a latent officer in the past, he will undoubtedly be able to stay in the Eighth Route Army in the future.

It is clear that the biggest difficulty in defending Zhengzhou at present is that the Eighth Route Army does not have many troops.Although Li Xiangdong brought a reconnaissance team, if he wanted to defend a large city of Zhengzhou, he still didn't have many troops at hand.

With the arrival of a regiment now, it will undoubtedly double the strength of the Eighth Route Army's military presence in Zhengzhou.At least Zhu Xinwen believes that those garrison officers who still pretend to be vain will probably be honest in the future.

Listening to the battle area marked out by the two armies, there were gunshots from time to time, and the commander of the reconnaissance battalion also let the officers and soldiers of the third garrison regiment take turns to rest.Except for the garrison troops of the two battalions on the position, the rest of the troops rested in the tunnel.

Although most of them rely on each other to keep warm and rest, these built anti-gun tunnels are undoubtedly more comfortable and safer than staying in the position and blowing cold wind.And these troops will also serve as defensive reserves at that time.

Several reconnaissance teams that kept harassing the Japanese army at night, looking at the Japanese army who had made up their minds to be shy, suddenly felt that it was necessary to add some fuel to this harassment.After all, the little devil's guard seems to be quite strict, so it's not easy to infiltrate.

Under such circumstances, the team leader said: "Go back, two people, go to the field and carry two [-]s to force them down. Damn, these little devils insist on not rushing out to fight us because of the large number of people, so come on!" Make a big noise!"

Upon hearing this, some scouts smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and bring the cannon!"

Not long after, the scouts who carried two mortars from the position moved their positions forward as much as possible under the instructions of the scout leader.Even if there were no lighting objects, they could still determine the location of the Japanese temporary camp.

For the reconnaissance team, their task tonight is to harass, so that the little devil can't rest in peace.Even under the shelling, it might not cause too much damage to the little devil, and the movement alone can scare the little devil enough.

'Listen up, you guys, give each of you three cannonballs first, and then shoot them all as quickly as possible.After the fight, don't worry about other things, just carry the cannon and leave quickly, don't let the little devil's cannon bite you. '

It is clear that the Japanese army is also very fast in counterattacking.In order to ensure the safety of the team members, the team leader also felt that withdrawing after the three rapid fires could also maximize the safety of these artillerymen.

As for the other harassing troops, they naturally wouldn't get too close to the artillery positions.Otherwise, when the little devils counterattack with artillery fire, they will also be affected by Chi Yu.Therefore, it is still necessary to stay away from the two mortar guns.

Just when the team leader finished speaking, he also took people to hide a few hundred meters away.The four scouts were ready for the shelling, and one of them said, "Let's get to work!"

As his words fell, the two scouts in charge of firing quickly put the first shell into the barrel.Two crisp "tom tom" sounds sounded, and the two mortar shells flew straight to the temporary camp of the Japanese army.

After the two shells touched the ground and exploded one after the other, the second shell also flew out of the barrel, sending a second round of fireworks to the little devil's camp again.The scouts who stayed in the dark also soon saw the Japanese camp commotion.

'Damn, I can't sleep now!If you want to rest in peace, go dreaming! '

The surprise attack of six mortar shells undoubtedly ruined the rest of the infantry brigade.In response to this situation, Sakai, who had not yet rested, also said with a gloomy face: "Baga! Order the infantry artillery squadron to cover the middle zone with artillery fire!"

'Yes, General! '

In Sakai's view, it is undoubtedly more dangerous to rashly dispatch infantry to attack.In this case, he had no idea how many harassing troops of the Eighth Route Army were hidden in the buffer zone in the middle.

For this reason, the use of infantry artillery to counterattack or expel them will undoubtedly catch these harassing Eighth Route Army by surprise.It's just such a fight, they want to rest at ease until the time to attack, it is probably not possible! (To be continued.)

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

Hearing the roar from behind the Japanese temporary camp, the soldiers of the reconnaissance unit staying in the buffer zone couldn't help but be a little speechless.It seems that the previous few mortar shells made these little devils anxious.

If the situation is not right, then quickly withdraw!

As the Japanese infantry artillery squadron fired first, the shells hit the buffer zone aimlessly.The scouts who slipped down from the blocking position also took their weapons and returned to the position under the falling artillery fire.

The reconnaissance battalion commander who was staying in the blocking position also looked at the artillery fire below the mountain, and couldn't help laughing and cursing: "These brats are really bullying like little devils. You know, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry! This Let's play and take it off!"

Zhu Xinwen, who had been staying by the side, said worriedly: "Battle Commander Liu, isn't our comrade in trouble?"

'rest assured!Unless they are unlucky, this kind of scattered bombardment will not pose much threat to them.It's just that if they do this, we will also be ready to fight.It is estimated that the little devil is about to start attacking. '

In fact, with the first regiment of the 116th Division entering Zhengzhou City, the mission of blocking positions outside the city has ended.It's just that it took so much effort to build this blocking position, so it's impossible not to use it.

For this reason, whether the Japanese army attacked in advance or postponed the attack, in fact, it was inevitable to fight the little devil.Fortunately, during the day, the officers and soldiers on the ground rest well, and they don't suffer from night battles.

In contrast, the little devil who didn't get enough rest had to fight continuously at night, which undoubtedly suffered a lot in terms of physical strength and spirit.This is also the reason why the reconnaissance battalion will send out harassment teams after nightfall.

As the reconnaissance battalion commander expected, the infantry artillery squadron launched an artillery counterattack.Looking at the Eighth Route Army running wildly under the light of the flames, the Japanese soldiers on duty also knew that those snipers finally withdrew.

It was just this shelling, and the Japanese soldiers who had just rested for a long time also ran out of the temporary camp.This feeling of being woken up in a hurry after preparing to rest made many soldiers feel a little irritable.

It's a pity that not many people pay attention to the feelings of these soldiers.Sakai, who called the brigade captain to start a meeting, also issued an order to attack in advance at the right time.This also means that the previous rest order is cancelled.

Hearing Sakai's order, an infantry regiment captain who came to reinforce said in a timely manner: "General, our regiment has not yet rested. If we continue to fight now, will it appear that we are too anxious?"

'Your wing is the reserve team of the headquarters, and the infantry of our brigade is responsible for the offensive.But for the rest of you, I'm afraid you won't have time to rest.For the safety of the camp, the peripheral security tasks are entrusted to you.

Mr. Yasuda, I know that your alliance has worked hard, but you have also seen the previous situation. Those damn Eighth Route Army did not let us have a good rest at all.Therefore, we can only attack in advance.

At worst, we must drive them back to the city.Only in this way can we rest in peace.Most importantly, the current battlefield situation does not allow us to waste time.The main force of the Eighth Route may arrive in Zhengzhou at any time! '

It is clear that the regiment leader sent by this division for reinforcements does not actually belong to his infantry brigade.For the reinforcements sent by this kind of division, Sakai naturally had to give the other side a little face.But as a commander, his authority cannot be challenged!

'Hi!I understand! '

Seeing that Sakai had already talked about this, Yasuda Dazuo couldn't say much.In fact, Yasuda also knew about Doihara's intention to send him over, and it was somewhat of a supervision.

Right now, Sakai asked him to bring the wing to act as a reserve force and only be responsible for the security of the camp.This also means that Sakai's brigade troops will be responsible for the main attack on the opponent's blocking position.

With the issuance of combat orders one by one, the Japanese temporary camp that seemed to have calmed down soon became lively.The scouts who had been staying nearby soon knew that the Japanese army was about to launch an attack.

The Japanese artillery camp, which was heavily defended, quickly acted as the vanguard of the infantry brigade's attack, and took the lead in launching an artillery attack on the blocking position.As the first wave of artillery fire hit, the officers and soldiers on the position quickly withdrew into the nearest artillery pit.

Listening to the explosion sound from outside the pit, many officers and soldiers of the third garrison regiment really understood what the veterans of the reconnaissance battalion had said during the day.The bombardment during the day was just a trial bombardment by the little devil, not a real bombardment at all.

And the deafening sound of repeated explosions at this moment also made these officers and soldiers of the garrison regiment who had just experienced the battlefield understand how terrible the artillery fire on the battlefield is.Even if they stayed in the tunnel, they still felt trembling all over.

On the other hand, those experienced veterans said calmly: "Okay, you can only listen to the artillery fire of the little devil. Our fortifications are well repaired, and their shells cannot penetrate. You are safe.

If you are all too scared now, we will go out and hold our ground when the little devils' shelling is over.At that time, it is time to really see the truth.Recruits, let me tell you a word, the more you fear death on the battlefield, the easier it is to die.

You have to learn to be calm, learn to forget fear.Only when you calm down and hold the weapons in your hands, can you have any hope of surviving.On the battlefield, don’t be afraid, the more you are afraid, the more panic and chaos you will have, the easier it is to die, understand? "

'Oh, I see!Thank you brother! '

The more polite recruit also nodded gratefully, indicating that he understood.But knowing it is clear, they can still feel their bodies still shaking, and the palms holding the gun are also sweating.This kind of actual combat is not something that anyone is born with.

During the war years, when recruits transform into veterans, they all need to go through the experience of blood and gunpowder.Only after going through the test of blood and fire, these immature recruits will truly understand the cruelty of the battlefield, and will they truly transform into veterans with actual combat experience.
