Chapter 819 Iron Hedgehog

Neiji Okamura realized that the Eighth Route Army was attacking in an all-round way, and immediately made two adjustments to his tactics.

In fact, it can’t be said to be an adjustment, but the deployment made by Ningji Okamura after the Eighth Route Army’s Hundred Regiments Campaign last time, which is the so-called dynamic defense... Use reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance along the railway line, and once you find the enemy, you will send cars to maneuver The troops quickly rushed to the destination for defense.

It should be said that Neiji Okamura's approach is correct. Under the double unfavorable conditions of the devils' lack of troops and "offense outweighs defense", it is extremely difficult for the devils to defend the railway line. Mobile defense is the only feasible way. Seoul's dynamic defense in North Africa is similar, and it can even be said that he learned from his dynamic defense.

Neiji Okamura even conducted several exercises for this purpose, so the defensive effect seemed to be quite good, and the mobile defense force reported one after another to repel the Eighth Route Army's attacks one after another.

This made Ningji Okamura a little bit proud, thinking that he had finally won a round in the confrontation with the Eighth Route Army.

But in the next second, Neiji Okamura sighed and said to Yoshio Shinozuka: "When did we start to be complacent about gaining a partial advantage over the Eighth Route Army! Isn't this a shame? It's you, me, And the shame of the empire!"

Shinozuka Yoshio was speechless, or it could be said that he didn't know how to comfort Okamura Neiji.

Neiji Okamura was telling the truth. Prior to this, the imperial army had always crushed the Eighth Route Army with absolute strength.

Although often the Eighth Route Army can’t do anything about it, it’s just that the Imperial Army is not used to the Eighth Route Army’s guerrilla warfare in mountainous areas. In plains, quasi-security areas, non-security areas... Needless to say, security areas are areas that the Imperial Army can absolutely control.

At that time, even the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army, that is, the non-security area of ​​the empire, fought whenever it wanted. The imperial army has always been looking for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to seek a decisive battle.

But now, the imperial army has become accustomed to being evenly divided with the Eighth Route Army. Now, as a general, Neiji Okamura is complacent just because he has taken a small advantage, which is really frustrating!
Shinozuka Yoshio wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just stood up and said, "Under the leadership of the general, we will successfully defeat the enemy!"

Neiji Okamura was noncommittal, this was just a meaningless cliché, it was obvious that even Yoshio Shinozuka had lost confidence.

This is not a good thing. Yoshio Shinozuka has always thought that he can lead the imperial army across China!
But Neiji Okamura didn't say anything, he just ordered with a calm face: "Order the armored train, attack!"

"Yes!" Shinozuka Yoshio replied, and passed on the order.

Neiji Okamura turned his sharp eyes to the map. He hoped to win this battle with an absolute advantage in exchange for the confidence of the imperial army.

And this absolute advantage depends on these two armored trains!
Neiji Okamura does have the possibility of relying on armored trains to achieve this goal.

The reason is that the Devil's Type 14 armored train is equipped with two Taisho 105-year or 15mm caliber heavy guns. The effect of quickly repelling or even killing a large number of enemies, and then quickly moving to another position to enter the battlefield, is much greater and faster than the firepower of a car maneuver.

In addition, the armored train also has two 2-type 75mm anti-aircraft guns that can shoot flat, and 10 7-type 2mm heavy machine guns, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

The Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance and the guerrillas called it the "Iron Armored Hedgehog", while the devils called it the "Death Chariot", which means a chariot used to harvest the lives of the enemy.

Okamura Ningji gave an order, and two armored trains located in Liangningmei and Chenjiazhuang slowly drove out of the hidden warehouse, and then one patrolled and fought in the northern section, while the other was in charge of the southern section.

Neiji Okamura naturally has his reasons for such allocation, or it can be said that he is well versed in the use of armored trains... The characteristics of armored trains are their large firepower and fast maneuvering speed. If they are put together, there will be firepower In the case of surplus and exhausted back and forth, of course, they should be divided into two ends and each responsible for a section.

But it is also this way that Wang Xuexin's plan has room for maneuver. Otherwise, two armored trains will be jammed between the tracks from Jiangyangfu to Yuncheng. It is also impossible to drive the train to Yuncheng.

Wang Xuexin has not realized the danger at this time, and he is very satisfied with the current battle situation.

The first is the battle of Jiangyang Fu.

Wang Xuexin originally thought that it would take at least two hours to end the battle. After all, the Xinyi Regiment entered the enemy-occupied area in disguise. There is a characteristic of fighting deep into the enemy-occupied area: there are not many equipment and ammunition that can be carried, and the box gun is mainly used... …Likes are not easy to hide.

But in fact, the battle ended in less than an hour, and the devils did not suspect the "moving machine" at all. This can be seen from the devils' desperate efforts to protect the railway. If they guessed that the Eighth Route Army was going to move the machine, they should take the initiative to blow up the railway. .

This bought more than an hour of time for the plan and improved the success rate of the plan.

On the other hand, even Wang Xuexin estimated that it would take more than two to three hours to move the machine, or even longer. After all, it had to be carried by manpower, and not many people in the Eighth Route Army knew how to dismantle the machine.

It turns out that Wang Xuexin was thinking too much...

After the labor uprising in Jiangyangfu, they immediately became capable assistants of the Eighth Route Army.

You must know that these workers deal with these machines every day, and many of them even do the work of maintaining the machines. They usually disassemble and assemble them a lot. Of course, it is a trivial matter to dismantle the machines now.

So in just one hour, [-]% of the textile factory, compressed biscuit factory, and canning factory were dismantled. If this continues, the task can be overfulfilled in just two hours.

But of course, pack more when you have time, until the train is full.

As for the attack on the traffic line and the devil's dynamic defense... Wang Xuexin doesn't care much about it. These are actually just to distract the devil's attention, not the purpose.

Okamura Ningzi knew this, and he was afraid that a mouthful of old blood would be sprayed on the ceiling... They were complacent and thought that they had finally gained an advantage, but in the end they fell into the enemy's trap!

The actual battle was smoother than the plan, which Wang Xuexin did not expect, and he faintly felt that there would be some surprises.

Sure enough, at this time a correspondent shouted: "Battle Commander, the 172nd Regiment was bombarded by devils!"
