Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

These mortars, the artillery used to fight back against the little devils, certainly can't do it.However, the Japanese infantry who bombarded the attack still seemed very relaxed.Mortar shells fell to the front of the position, and soon the Japanese infantry preparing to attack screamed again and again.

Regarding the countermeasures of the Eighth Route Army one after another, the head of the Japanese brigade also said very seriously: "The Eighth Route Army's response to the battle is very powerful! Is this the strength of the Eighth Route Army's main force?"

Compared with ordinary officers and soldiers, the brigade commander knew very well that there was an elite division before them that mysteriously disappeared outside Xilinhot.Although there is no exact intelligence proof, many people speculate that the division was wiped out.

An elite Japanese army division was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army overnight, without even a chance to send a farewell message.This kind of attack power really made the Japanese brigade commander a little worried.

Knowing that at this time, the Japanese brigade commander who had to withdraw the previous troops could only say helplessly: "Order the attacking troops to withdraw first! If we don't deal with the opponent's artillery, it will be difficult for us to capture their defensive positions."

As the Japanese buglers blew the whistle to retreat, the infantry regiment, which had already suffered a lot of casualties, could only retreat desperately to the rear.But at this time, a group of artillery fire from the mortar company was still chasing after the little devil's buttocks.

When the little devil ran out of the range of the artillery fire, the mortar company also quickly moved.As for the Eighth Route Army on the ground, they still seemed very calm, and did not come out to repair the trenches that were blown up by the little devil's artillery fire.

After all, at this time, the little devil's shells occasionally hit the position.At this time, if you go to the field to repair fortifications, you may be injured by shells.For this reason, it doesn't matter if you wait a long time.

The first attack failed, and even nearly a thousand casualties were paid. The head of the Japanese army brigade also felt very aggrieved.What made him most distressed was that the artillery units also suffered heavy losses under the previous artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army.

With the few remaining artillery pieces, it is almost impossible to maintain an absolute advantage in artillery fire.Under such circumstances, the head of the Japanese brigade had no choice but to use small troops to harass and test the positions of the Eighth Route Army.

For such probing and harassment, the head of the first regiment directly dispatched the reconnaissance company in the regiment.Taking advantage of the range advantage of sniper rifles, they continued to shoot and kill the Japanese infantry who were close to the position without exposing the firepower of the machine guns on the position.

Looking at the soldiers who were constantly being killed and wounded underground in the Eighth Route Army formation, the head of the Japanese brigade could only say: "To generate electricity for the headquarters, we urgently need the air force to provide tactical guidance. The Eighth Route Army has an artillery unit, and its number of artillery is more than ours.

Without destroying the artillery units of the Eighth Route, it will be very difficult for us to take down the defensive positions of the Eighth Route.I hope that the headquarters can let the air force implement intensive bombing tactics on the defensive positions of the eight routes! "

Since the ground attack could not gain an advantage, the Japanese brigade commander could only hope for air superiority.As long as the air force arrives, they can continue to fight again.If there is no support, it is impossible for them to capture the Eighth Route Army's position!

While waiting for the arrival of the air force support, seeing the wounded soldiers being carried back to the temporary camp one after another, the head of the Japanese brigade could only say: "Let the logistics team transfer a few vehicles and send all the wounded soldiers to the rear hospital for treatment."

It is clear that these wounded soldiers will only affect the morale of the troops if they stay here.It is better to take advantage of this opportunity and send the wounded to the rear hospital for treatment as soon as possible.The longer the time delay, the more seriously injured people are undoubtedly waiting for death! (To be continued.)

Chapter 68 Fight Chifeng or Chengde?

Perhaps the Japanese army never dreamed that the well-prepared early morning raid would end in their complete failure.Teana "Novel WwW. 『⒉[-]TXT. COM didn't even go up to the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army, but instead took up its own artillery unit and nearly a thousand infantry.

Looking at the barracks, which was bright but full of sorrow, and the wounded soldiers who were carried into the car.Many soldiers of the mixed brigade who came here with full confidence realized to some extent that this battle might not be easy to fight.

Through the previous artillery counterattack of the Eighth Route Army, many little devils already knew that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was very different from the guerrillas they used to deal with during the Chengde raid.These main forces of the Eighth Route Army are very difficult to deal with.

Facing the defeat of the battle, the head of the Japanese brigade also said with some concern: "Masters, I hope you will improve the morale of the troops. Tell our warriors that our planes will come to help in the battle later.

As long as we take down the opponent's defensive positions during the day, the victory still belongs to us.The previous attack was just a tentative attack, so the Warriors don't have to take it too seriously.

If you want to avenge the warriors who died in battle, then when we attack next, let our warriors become more heroic.We have a brigade of troops, are we afraid that we will not be able to take down the eight-way defensive position in front of us? "

Even the head of the Japanese brigade himself thought that these words were false, but the problem was that he had to say these words to boost the troops' confidence in this battle.In fact, the disappearance of No.11 Division really scared many generals of the Kwantung Army.

No one hopes that the troops they lead will disappear overnight.For this reason, many generals of the Kwantung Army believe that it is better to choose to fight the Eighth Route Army during the day, which may appear safer.

The head of the Japanese brigade, who had decided not to continue the offensive, but waited for the arrival of the Kwantung Army's bomber fleet, spent more time deploying defensive measures.The purpose of doing this is also very simple, which is to guard against the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army.

While the Japanese brigade was preparing, the Artillery Regiment of the Second Infantry Division, which countered the artillery fire of the Japanese brigade, also began to arrange camouflage clothes for the artillery.Not far from the artillery position, a camouflaged artillery position has already taken shape.

If the Japanese planes arrive, I believe they will be able to find the artillery positions in that valley soon.It's just that the cannons erected are basically made of wood and painted, so letting the little devils blow them up can also make the attacking little devils feel at ease.

This kind of real and fake artillery positions is already familiar to the Second Infantry Division today.In fact, regardless of the armored brigade or the infantry division, when there is no combat mission, He Zhengdao will arrange air defense exercises for them.

With the cooperation of the Air Force Battalion of the Eighth Route Army, the infantry division can also make false ones when arranging camouflaged artillery positions.I believe that when the little devil's plane arrives, he won't find out that the artillery position is fake.

The two opposing armies suddenly seemed to have a tacit understanding, waiting for the arrival of the bomber fleet of the Kwantung Army.The bomber fleet of the Kwantung Army did not make the mixed brigade wait too long, and had arrived at the battle area when the sky was fully brightened.

Looking at these bombers circling in the sky, the Japanese army below undoubtedly became very excited.In contrast, the Eighth Route Army on the ground seemed somewhat depressed.After all, they couldn't do anything with the little devil's plane.

'Pay attention to air defense, hide a little, don't stand at the entrance of the cave! '

The company platoon leaders in the anti-aircraft pit looked at the little devil plane in the sky curiously as they watched the soldiers.Also hurried forward to stop this kind of behavior, it is also easy to cause accidental injury.

The power of aerial bombs is naturally greater than that of ordinary artillery shells.The Kwantung Army bomber fleet that arrived over the battlefield also began reconnaissance before the bombing.

It didn't take long for the reconnaissance plane to quickly discover the artillery positions in a concave valley.Although the artillery was covered with some grass and branches to cover up, it still did not hide from the Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky.

This made the little devil's pilot very excited. After circling the valley a few times, he soon attracted the bomber group to carry out carpet bombing on the valley.As for this scene, the mixed brigade naturally saw it very clearly.

'Hey, it seems that our air force has found the artillery position of the Eighth Route.Without the support of artillery, it will be much easier for us to take down the opponent's defensive positions next. '

Listening to the explosions on the ground from time to time, the Japanese fighter planes that carried out the bombing also seemed very satisfied.In their view, the explosion sounded on the ground should be the detonation of their bombs.

But in fact, it was just to increase the realistic effect, setting up engineers in false positions, and some additional explosives.As long as it is ignited by an aerial bomb, it will be detonated.It sounds like the sound of a cannonball being detonated.

In this way, the Japanese reconnaissance planes observing in the air will be more convinced that what they destroyed was the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army.When the ground troops attack, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army can also surprise the little devil.

With the destruction of the camouflaged artillery position, the bomber group that arrived on the battlefield also found the defensive position of the Eighth Route Army.After circling a few times in the sky, the lowered bomber group also began to drop bombs.

On the other hand, the Japanese army's mixed brigade, which was ready again, once again assembled a regiment of offensive infantry.The artillery unit that was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army earlier has also been re-deployed now.

It's just that the size of this artillery force has been much weaker than the previous artillery force.But no matter what, the preserved artillery can still pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army's defensive positions.

This is why the head of the Japanese brigade asked the bomber fleet to destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.As long as the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army are destroyed, the remaining artillery can also suppress the mortar units on the Eighth Route Army's positions.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were staying in the anti-artillery pit watched that every time the bomb fell on the position, it would cause the roof of the pit to shake off a lot of gravel and soil.Some recruits and soldiers also seemed a little worried.

On the other hand, the veteran said very calmly: "Don't worry, in such an anti-aircraft hole, unless every bomb can be thrown at the same position, little devils. Otherwise, they won't be able to blow up this hole, just sit at ease."

The veterans seemed very confident about the artillery potholes built on the ground.After all, when they fought against the Japanese army in the past, the anti-gun holes they built had already been tested in actual combat.

Unless the little devil's aerial bombs are more powerful, there is no need to worry about these potholes being blown down!

Listening to the words of the veteran beside him, and seeing other veterans sitting calmly, the psychological pressure of these recruits also eased a lot.As recruits participating in such a big battle for the first time, it is normal for them to have such emotions.

Even before joining the main division, most of these recruits had been trained in the garrison for a long time, and some even had some actual combat experience.But similar to this large-scale defensive operation, they are really the first time.

The veterans also believed that after the baptism of this war, these recruits would become like them in the future and become more calm when facing little devils.Hearing the sound of the little devil's shells, he will also appear very calm.

The Kwantung Army bomber group that arrived in the battle area also carried out cover bombing on the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army.Even at the forward positions, they also dropped bombs and detonated the mines buried there.

The Japanese infantry at the front of the offensive position also breathed a sigh of relief looking at the landmines detonated by aerial bombs.The sergeants of the Japanese army also took the opportunity to teach the infantry how to attack later.

'When you attack, you should pay attention to the road under your feet, don't take those flat roads, and choose places that have been detonated by bombs.Try to keep yourself as safe as possible with the help of those bomb holes, understand? '

Experienced veterans know that there must be no landmines in places that have been bombed.On the other hand, in those places that have not been bombed, there may still be residual landmines. If you step on a landmine, you will definitely die.

While the bombing was still going on, the sergeants of the Japanese army would naturally not forget to instill some combat experience in the soldiers.In fact, many soldiers of this mixed brigade of Japanese troops stationed in Chengde were also newly expanded recruits.

Even though the training time these recruits have received is not short, they are relatively lacking in actual combat experience.Even if they have participated in some sweeping missions, some soldiers have very little experience in large-scale offensive and defensive battles like this.

Therefore, in this offensive and defensive battle, both sides actually have their own shortcomings.But on the whole, there is no doubt that the Eighth Route Army has the upper hand.Even He Zhengdao, who sits in Xilinhot, is not worried at all that the Duolun defenders will not be able to defend Duolun City.

It is learned that the Japanese army has formed a mixed brigade and has launched an attack on the outer defensive positions of Duolun.He Zhengdao found Ye Jianying and began to discuss the next attack of the troops.At this time, some things have to be deployed in advance.
