Rise from eight hundred.

Seeing that they could not catch up with the 683th Division, the 108rd Brigade did not immediately return to the front line against the 16th Division.

Because, when fishing for fish in this river, one often escapes, and there are others. If you want to catch them all in one net, it is difficult for gods to do.

In the morning, they waited until Tang Dao, who led the reconnaissance company and the guard platoon, arrived. Except for the necessary security troops, the three regiments of the brigade hid in the mountains and waited for news from the front lines of the 3th and 17th divisions.

The Japanese reconnaissance planes flew over this area at low altitude more than 4 times during the day, which showed that the Japanese military headquarters was concerned about the whereabouts of the elite soldiers of the 683rd Brigade.

It's a pity that the 683rd Brigade, which is used to ambushes, has already disguised the whole army, wearing a hat made of branches and leaves on its head, and its backpack is also covered with branches and leaves broken from the mountains. The reconnaissance plane at an altitude of 300 meters cannot see it, even if people are 30 meters away, if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to find thousands of soldiers hiding in the grass.

Finally, in the evening, Lei Xiong reported that the Second Mixed Brigade stopped advancing and began to occupy the high ground left by the 17th Division and the 104th Division.

"Shanxia has three choices. First, the whole army should turn around immediately. No matter how many our troops are on the rear flank, we will break through with all our strength. Even if the breakthrough fails, we will throw away all the baggage and lightly equip the whole army. The mountains are vast and the paths are criss-cross. It is impossible to completely block the defense line.

Second, the entire army is defending based on the existing positions abandoned by our army. The highlands are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we want to swallow them in one bite, we will fall into their previous predicament. Every time we gnaw down a highland, we will pay an unimaginable price;

Third, the whole army will go in the opposite direction and move forward resolutely. When the encirclement circle of our army has not yet been formed, it will jump out of the encirclement circle to avoid being besieged. "

In a cave, under the dim light of the lantern, Tang Dao helped Shan Xia, who was covered in cold sweat, set three options, and asked the previous question to the meditating Brigadier Cheng and the two colonels.

"It's no wonder even the Japanese shout slogans: If you want to fight, fight the 683rd Brigade. Sure enough, Brigadier Cheng is worthy of being the number one general in our southeast Shanxi region. You can figure out the thoughts of this old devil Yamashita." Tang Dao shook his head and sighed, but he flattered him loudly.

Although it was a joke, but this man's ability to perceive words and emotions is really not bad, it can be regarded as telling the truth.

Because, even if Yamashita knows that there are 3 more soldiers from the Third Army in the southeast of Shanxi, he can't accurately judge where the 3 people are placed. What if the 3 people are placed on his way forward? ?In addition to the 3 brigade that I have disappeared and the four-line regiment that has not been released, and the two infantry divisions that were ordered to evacuate and repair, nearly 683 people may be able to surround him with a small mixed brigade in less than a day It's leaking.

I didn't participate, and even I didn't connect it until I saw the news that the Second Mixed Brigade stopped marching, and I thought about it thoroughly.

"Teacher Tang, I really admire you. In terms of heart, I, Old Wang and Old Xu, are far inferior to you!" Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang gave Tang Dao a thumbs-up in admiration.

If he doesn't make a statement, Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang will start talking about casualties with snot and bitter tears. It's not easy to talk about it, and he will even wipe his snot on his shoulders.

Each cave dwelling can not only constitute a firepower point by itself, but also can cover and support each other with other cave dwellings, forming a cross firepower network.Moreover, bulletproof trenches were dug in front of the caves. If the grenades were not thrown accurately and fell into the trenches, it would be difficult to pose a threat to the Japanese army.The Japanese army also dug through the cave dwellings to form a network fortification system.

As the oldest commander of the 683 brigade, Commander Xu may not be considered a hero, but he is definitely calm enough. From his expression, it can be seen that if Yamashita really chose the second path as he expected , that is definitely a headache.

His military rank is the same as Tang Dao's, but he is not qualified to be a member of the theater staff, and he is not qualified to know the designs of those big bosses.

In the end, before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the 921 Division finally broke through Guanjianao by digging tunnels and killed more than 400 Japanese invaders, leaving only 60 people to resist. However, the 2000 Japanese reinforcements had already arrived 3 kilometers away, and the 921 Division could not survive. Do not give up the plan to wipe out this Japanese army, and finally retreat.

"Let me tell you, Commander Wang, Commander Tang is called wisdom, and you are called smart, and don't be too self-effacing. In terms of smart, you can be said to be the number one in our 683 brigade. Who sneaked in to see you this morning?" Brigadier, volunteered to be the main attacking regiment? Let me tell you, the 771 regiment has never conquered anyone in battle." Captain Xu curled his lips, and by the way, exposed Wang Xiaoqiang's little thoughts.

"Yes, Captain Xu is right, and I don't want him to choose this option." Tang Dao nodded. "If that's the case, the casualties of our army and the Japanese army will be at least 1 to 1, or even more."

That's it, where is he still patting my horse like crazy, even if I want to be photographed, I don't dare to be photographed by him!I was really afraid that he would slap me on the face. "Cheng Luchang said with a sigh.

Thinking of this episode, Head Xu, who guessed that the Japanese army would definitely choose the second route, also felt that he seemed to have overlooked some important factors.

"I understand the meaning of the brigade commander. Yamashita will definitely think that this is intentional by our army, just to make him feel that it is safest to stick to it and wait for help. In fact, it will take some time for our army to deploy this encirclement circle. Therefore, it is only right to stay." It's extremely stupid." One word awakened the dreamer, and head Xu woke up like a dream.

如果不是四行团装备有大量步兵炮和37毫米战防炮、迫击炮、山炮，683旅目前也有了4门山炮和30门迫击炮，唐刀所做出的估计甚至能达到2比1。

"Brigade Commander, how did Commander Tang design it? Tell me!" Wang Xiaoqiang said eagerly.

"Yes! Our regiment has less than 300 rounds left. No matter what the Japanese choose, this battle is not so easy!" Speaking of shells, Commander Xu also began to sigh.

In addition, you think that my 683 brigade marched so far that I really want to build the 108th division!We can eat 3 Japanese troops, but 16 Japanese troops will really stretch our stomachs, even if we really add the 109rd Army, the [-]th Division has not yet done its best! The three infantry divisions on the side of the [-]th Division also had a hard time.

The level of Japanese field fortifications is well-deserved number one in Asia, and it is also at the forefront of the world.

This battle was not the one where the 2000th Army killed the most enemies in the Taihang Mountain area, but it was definitely the most tragic one. More than 921 casualties directly injured the 500st Division. That's it, it hasn't been wiped out yet. A remnant army of no more than [-] people.

But the battle process was jaw-dropping. The 683 Brigade lacked anti-fortification artillery, and there was no way to take those fortifications. It could only take human lives, and entire rows of heroic soldiers fell down on the way to charge.

The most representative battle that reflected the level of Japanese field fortification construction was the Battle of Guanjianao that took place two years later in time and space.

The Second Mixed Brigade now has at least 8000 troops in the entire army. Even if the battle loss ratio is 1:1, that is 1 fewer casualties, which means that thousands of fresh lives have died. When the commander thinks of this number, his heart will suddenly twitch!
"On the contrary, I think that the old devil Shanxia will choose the third way. I don't have as many reasons as Lao Xu, just pure intuition." Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang took a deep puff of his cigarette and looked at the map with burning eyes.

As a result, the only guard group in the arsenal fought back bravely, and the Japanese army was repelled after three days and two nights of fierce fighting. However, it caused huge losses to the arsenal, which made the boss of the [-]th Army very angry.

It is said that there must be demons when things go wrong, but if it were you two, would you dare to stay in this place for a long time?Our Chinese army doesn't have scud legs, so we will go there when we say it, and it will take time to reach the combat area, especially when there are Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky from time to time.

"Haha!" Hearing what Wang Xiaoqiang said, Brigadier Cheng and Tang Dao looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Get out, you boy don't put a high hat on me." Brigadier Cheng rolled his eyes. "Your son is a typical conspirator. Shanxiaxia's current situation is not all based on your son's design. Now he can even guess his final decision clearly. Who has your son's heart? How many eyes?"

Also, do you really think that the news of the 3rd Army's stealth and replacement is that the Japanese spies have suddenly become more powerful?That was leaked by the theater command on purpose.Hehe, good guy, it's a big deal to let it go on purpose. It's a trivial matter for the Japanese to know so quickly. Commander Yan is probably numb. There are at least a few people around him who are suspicious. His eyesight!It's true.

Think about it, our troops have been engaged in large-scale activities in the rear wing, our 683rd Brigade and the Four Elements Regiment have disappeared, and there is also a rumor that the 3rd Army has an extra 3 people, and a large army secretly surrounded them The 17th Division and the 104th Division have resisted for so long. It makes no sense that they can't hold on for a day or two. As long as they defend for another two days, where are they going when the army is so surrounded?Not only is there no place to run, there are not even a few decent positions, it is almost a desperate situation to die.

We came here for the 3nd Mixed Brigade. One infantry division of the 16rd Army took our place to guard the line of defense against the [-]th Division. The other infantry division was defending against Japanese reinforcements in Liao County, Licheng and other places. of.

"Bah! What do you mean by a little bit? Your baby has 800 mortar shells in one mouth. Do you think I have an arsenal or something." Speaking of this, Brigadier Cheng almost didn't wash himself off for his capable subordinate. face.

It is gratifying to be able to encircle the tens of thousands of Japanese troops by relying on the strategizing before the war, but thinking of storming the high ground under the defense of the Japanese troops who are good at field fortifications, the casualties paid may be the worst since the [-]th Army entered the war. .

To be honest, I don't want the old devil Shan Xiashi to choose this path, but this may be his most correct choice. "Head Xu threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and said with a dignified expression.

"Huh? You usually talk the most. How can you just come up with an intuition when you analyze?" Brigadier Cheng glanced at his capable subordinates in surprise.

"Hey, brigade commander, didn't you notice? Captain Tang just replied that when Lao Xu talked about the battle damage, he didn't have a bitter face like Lao Xu. Based on my understanding of him, let alone [-] officers and soldiers. Even if it is one thousand, he will frown in distress, so I judge his judgment, Shanxia will definitely not choose the second one." Wang Xiaoqiang grinned.

If there were really so many casualties, Tang Dao's expression might be so indifferent.

He went to the division headquarters of the 921 Division in person, convened a meeting with the division and brigade chiefs, and dictated the combat order of the headquarters, demanding that the 921 Division must wipe out the Japanese army.

On the contrary, we are defending according to the danger. Even if our army has 5 or even 6 troops, it will not be easy to capture these high grounds that they have to spend a lot of effort to conquer.

The retreating Okazaki Brigade did not quickly flee to Licheng, but hid in a stronghold they had occupied for a long time - Guanjianao.

Brigadier Cheng and the two heads of the regiment all looked solemn. They knew that Tang Dao might have said too lowly.

Even if Shanxia is an idiot, he knows that when he goes back to fight like he did with the Northwest Army and the Sichuan Army, nine out of ten he will really lose his life in this mountain.do you know?This is blatant intimidation.

"Brigade Commander, our regiment has fought against an infantry regiment of the 16th Division for two days and nights at the Black Mountain Pass. You know that now the inventory of shells will never exceed 200 rounds. Do the math, our regiment has 8 mortars , On average, 20 rounds per door, not to mention beating devils, even beating bandits is enough." Wang Xiaoqiang called out to hit Tianqu.

But what is unreasonable is that the 17th and 104th divisions withdrew, leaving them a position where they could stick to it and wait for reinforcements.

"You think that his four-element regiment can't hide all the time, so he's just eating dry food! The main force of their regiment, Chen Bing, is now the rear wing of the brigade. They destroyed a convoy, not to mention killing seven of their reconnaissance squads." Seven or eight, doesn't that mean to tell Shan Xiawen that if he wants to live from now on, he will survive!

And these are all ideas of the big group seat in front of us.

Even Tang Dao understood that even if there were no shells, the title of Three Guns and Tuba was not for nothing. After the three guns were shot, the rest was hand-to-hand combat.

Of course, it's not a myth that the Japanese army's field fortifications built up their strength. The main reason is that the 921st Division has too few artillery pieces.If you equip them with infantry artillery that can counter fortifications, you don't need 10 or 20 guns, just give them two or three, and the Japanese may not be able to hold them all day.

If, it's just a bait, a bait to lure them to stay"

If you say that without these fortifications, with the combat power of the 921 Division, it would take less than three hours for thousands of people to fight hundreds of Japanese troops, but with the support of these fortifications, the Japanese army held on for two days.

In that battle, the Japanese army was an undersized infantry brigade, the Okazaki Brigade, with a total strength of only more than 600 people. It used tens of thousands of Japanese troops to attack the isolated army in the Taihang Mountains and went deep into Dakouzi Town, attempting to launch a surprise attack on the arsenal of the [-]th Army Group located here.

At that time, the first battalion, the main force of the 683nd Regiment of the 772rd Brigade, had only more than 80 people left after two days of bloody battles. There was an infantry company with 164 people, and even only 15 people were able to stand out of the battlefield after the war. The tragedy of this offensive and defensive battle.

The tragic defeat of the Japanese army in the Battle of Taierzhuang that day is still vivid. After the 2 Japanese army was surrounded by our three infantry armies with more than 3 troops, they had no power to resist. Yamashita should not have made this mistake.

"Haha, let me tell you my point of view. The old devil Shanxia will definitely choose what he thinks is the best strategy and move forward. Moreover, they will march overnight. Just tonight, they will march along the road towards Licheng and Shecheng. Brigadier Cheng expressed his point of view with a smile.

The Japanese army can mobilize planes to help out. It may be no problem to defend for seven or eight days, and even if the Japanese reinforcements cannot arrive, if we want to eat them, we will have to pay terrible battle losses.

"In my personal opinion, Shan Xia will choose the second road, and defend it according to the danger. It seems to be a dead end, but it may be the only way to survive.

"Hey, old Xu, our 772 and 771 are both good, and they are the main attackers. I mean, I hope the brigade commander can give me more ammunition!" Wang Xiaoqiang was not embarrassed when he was punctured, grinning Happy mouth.

It is true that Wang Xiaoqiang is hot-tempered, but this guy definitely has enough brains. Although his words are a bit rough, many things are to the point. Otherwise, with the cleverness of Brigadier Cheng Da, how could he be transferred from the four lines in Ye Chenghuan? The regiment later used him as the chief officer of the most powerful infantry regiment under his command. Bravery and resourcefulness were the only criteria for being the chief officer of the 772 regiment.

Besides, if this is the case, why did the 17th and 104th divisions retreat, and continue to hold on for another day or two, waiting for reinforcements to arrive?

As for what Regimental Leader Tang said just now, he looked forward and said that he jumped out of the encirclement while our army's encirclement was not yet closed, but in fact the risk was even greater than the risk of going backward.

It's just that it's not the equipment, but the people that determine the outcome of the battlefield.Even with artillery, it is also impossible to win without paying enough sacrifices.

The 921st Division mobilized the 683rd Brigade, the main brigade under its command, to encircle the entire Guanjianao. The ratio of troops was at least 8 to 1. According to common sense, it was a win anyway.

There can be blood, but there can be no snot. Tang Dao wisely 'succumbed'.

Tang Dao is such a smart person. Seeing that the stable and honest old head Xu has started to perform, especially the pair of thick eyebrows, the traces of performance are quite heavy, and the brigade commander Cheng is smiling, and he looks like it’s not me anyway. Instigated, it is obvious to beat the local tyrants.

Guanjianao is located in the center of the Taihang Mountains. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. After a long period of construction, the Japanese army formed a complete fortification system based on cave dwellings.

"From the perspective of Yamashita, the main reason is that the 17th and 104th divisions voluntarily gave up the high ground and evacuated.

Because, backwards, Yamashita doesn't know how many troops our army has in the rear wing. In case our army's lurking strength is as high as 2, then his Second Mixed Brigade wants to break through in a short period of time. Delusion, wait for the 17th and 104th divisions to catch their breath and surround him. 4 people beat him to less than 1 people. Even if he throws away all his luggage and flees lightly, it is probably too late.

Tang Dao's battle damage ratio is not obtained out of thin air. It is calculated based on the current strength and weaponry of both sides.

"Come on, you two, don't be so miserable, it's just shells! Is it possible for our regiment to support the 683 brigade with 1000 rounds?"

"Good brother! In this battle, our 683 brigade risked our lives to fight the devils." The three chief officers of the 683 brigade slapped their chests loudly and laughed heartily.

Beating the local tyrants of the Tang Dynasty without bloodshed, that would be a lot of fun!

And Shan Xiaxia over there finally made his own choice: "The whole army, throw away unnecessary baggage, set off at [-] o'clock, march overnight, and pass through this mountainous area."
