Chapter 205 Annihilation of the Reinforcement Army (seeking tickets)

...Kong Jie laughed and said, "The scene in front of me is a bit familiar. I remembered that during the Battle of Cangyunling more than half a year ago, that old devil Sakata arranged his machine gun fortifications like this.

On the ravine-ridden area where Lao Li and I broke through, Sakata took advantage of the turning of the mountain and various corners to set up heavy machine guns at the end of the corner. Our soldiers broke through all the way, just turned around from the corner, devil The firepower of the heavy machine gun of the heavy machine gun came over suddenly, causing many casualties immediately. "

"At that time, the little devils bullied us with little firepower, not to mention the infantry artillery now, and we didn't even have grenadiers!"

"The distance is too far, the grenade can't reach it at all."

"So every time we come to that kind of corner and encounter the devil's machine gun fire blockade, the soldiers on our side can only take the risk of dying, under the cover of firepower, rush towards the devil's machine gun fortification with cluster grenades, and then After paying a heavy price, the devil's machine gun was blown up in one fell swoop."

Zhao Gang nodded. Although he had not experienced the Cangyunling anti-sweeping campaign, he could imagine the brutality of the battle at that time.

"The situation where the third battalion commander set up a trap for the little devil at the corner of the road is a bit similar to that time."

As Kong Jie said, he looked at his watch again, "It's almost 05:30, it should be dawn soon, and I don't know what's going on with Lao Li."

……

As the situation continued to develop, everything seemed to be staged according to the script Kong Jie and Zhao Gang said.

After the devil's truck team broke through the third ambush arranged by the commander of the third battalion, they kept the convoy moving at a high speed all the way, and in a blink of an eye they reached the turning point of the road not far away.

This turn is not too sharp, it is a turn from north to northeast.

Therefore, the speed of the truck team passing by the devil at high speed did not drop much even after turning.

After the turn, a banked straight line follows.

On the co-pilot of the first truck was a Japanese army squad leader. Taking advantage of the bright sky, after the truck rushed through the corner, he seemed to see some people on the southbound road not far away. The fortifications of the bunkers were blocked.

Why is there a bunker here?

This was the first thought that came to the head of the devil squad leader.

He even subconsciously thought it was a newly built stronghold on the side of the Empire of Japan.

But as the two sides got closer, the Japanese team leader gradually realized that something was wrong!

If this is the stronghold of the Great Japanese Empire, why didn't you see half of the empire's warriors?What about the Imperial Army?
How can there be a stronghold built like this?
At a glance, they are basically semi-underground bunkers with machine gun fortifications.

Also, when the truck team came over earlier, they encountered three ambushes from Tuba Road on the road. The ambush point was so close to this stronghold. If this was a stronghold built by the Empire, why didn't there be any movement?
The Japanese squad leader, who seemed to have grasped some key point, was about to speak when suddenly there was a violent explosion under the car.

The truck struck mine again!
Moreover, the density of the minefield this time was much greater than the two previous encounters. In addition, the speed of the truck was too fast. The first truck that the Japanese army leader was sitting on had no time to brake. Straight out more than ten meters away.

In a series of big explosions, the devil who was driving, together with the team leader on the co-pilot, and the entire truck were blown to pieces by landmines.

It was so thin that it couldn't be broken any more.

The squadron leader of the Japanese army, who was in the middle of the truck convoy, couldn't help but jump when he saw the first truck being torn to pieces.

While he was angry, he was a little thankful. Fortunately, he had the foresight to not let the soldiers take the first truck, so he survived.

The second truck that followed was a little bit luckier. The first truck triggered most of the landmines. Coupled with emergency braking, the body only rushed four or five meters away and triggered a few mines.

The car body was damaged a bit, but fortunately, the devils and puppet soldiers in the truck were all fine.

Based on his previous experience of stepping on landmines, the leader of the Devil Squadron thought that the Eighth Route Army was repeating the old trick.

But then, on the side of the bunker fortification, the machine gunners of the third battalion of the independent regiment, who had been ready to go, opened fire one after another.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters.

Zhu Wu, commander of the Ninth Company, who personally commanded in a semi-underground concrete heavy machine gun fortification, gave the order to fire without hesitation.

In the concrete bunker fortifications blocking the road, the commander of the third battalion prepared a heavy machine gun, plus six light machine guns for firepower.

In addition to machine guns, there are also grenades, which are also hidden in the fortifications specially built for grenades, leaving only a suitable opening for grenades to be fired.

Six grenade launchers fired in unison.

In addition, there are large and small foxholes scattered around for riflemen to shoot.

In fact, the team stationed in the bunker fortification was only a reinforced platoon led by the ninth company commander Zhu Wu.

However, the sudden burst of firepower at this bunker fortification still stunned the Japanese and puppet troops who came to support them.

At this moment, the Japanese squadron leader still doesn't understand that the sparse firepower of the Eighth Route Army encountered along the way was simply a disguise.

Light machine guns, grenades, heavy machine guns, and fortifications blocking the road, the Eighth Route Army clearly came prepared.

Quickly ordered the convoy to retreat, and after exiting the minefield, the Japanese squadron leader commanded the team, using the truck as a cover, to launch a firepower counterattack towards the bunker where Zhu Wu was located.

The devil's grenadier shells quickly covered the bunker fortifications.

As a result... it didn't seem to have any effect. The shells exploded on the walls of those bunker buildings, and the walls didn't move at all.

The soldiers of the independent regiment didn't care about the loss of materials at all. The concrete bunker fortifications that were actually built, and the strength of the concrete after the final setting was also increased, could definitely stand the test of actual combat.

Devils are stupid!
Hell, where did the Eighth Route Army get the concrete?
An extremely strong concrete bunker was actually built!
Even if the infantry artillery is brought in, three or two artillery pieces may not be able to blast it away.

The only powerful firepower on the Japanese squadron's side was the curved grenade, and there was no way to drive the shells into the bunker's machine gun.

How is this fight going?
The beating was completely unilateral. In just a few minutes, under Zhu Wu's machine gun fire and grenade bombardment, the Japanese and puppet troops had suffered heavy casualties.

The leader of the Devil Squadron was not stupid. Seeing that there was nothing he could do, he quickly issued an order to retreat, and then contacted the county headquarters through the radio to ask for tactical guidance.

The big deal is not to support!

As a result, before the Japanese and puppet troops had time to turn around, they were suddenly attacked by fierce artillery fire behind them.

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, had already led the main force of the third battalion to ambush on both sides of the road turning. He launched a surprise attack from the back of the Japanese and puppet troops, and secretly planted landmines on the other side of the turning to prevent the devils from forcibly breaking through and evacuating. .

The commander of the third battalion, Wang Huaibao, who issued the combat order, only yelled:

"Brothers, kill, wipe out the Japanese puppet army!"

The blocking battle of front and back attack... No, it is an annihilation battle, which is about to start!
The two sides launched a fierce firepower confrontation.

It's a pity that the third battalion, which had taken the absolute initiative from the very beginning, had all the advantages of the right time and place.

On the side of the bunker that Zhu Wu was in charge of, under the heavy bombardment of machine gun fire and shells, the devils couldn't break through the defense of the concrete bunker, and they were always being beaten passively.

On the other side of the turn, the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao commanded the main force of the third battalion, condescendingly pouring firepower on the Japanese and puppet troops.

The devils and the puppet army were attacked from both sides, and they couldn't even find a cover. The only support was the ten transport trucks in front of them, but many trucks were blown up under the artillery fire commanded by Zhu Wu.

The battle lasted until the fifth minute, and the Japanese army, which had been the main force in the counterattack, had already suffered more than half of the casualties.

By the 10th minute, only a few Japanese troops remained in the corner to resist.

The commander of the third battalion immediately shouted: "We are a team of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. We will not leave any little devils behind. If the puppet soldiers want to survive, they should turn their guns on the little devils and make meritorious deeds. Our Eighth Route Army will not hold them accountable! "

The name of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army resounded throughout Northwest Shanxi during this time.

Right now, the devils and puppet troops have no way out.

The puppet army, who has always cherished their lives, knows the current affairs best.

Not long after the words fell, a burst of gunshots suddenly erupted inside the Japanese puppet army hiding in the gap between the cars.

Immediately afterwards, there was no sound, and teams of puppet soldiers dropped their guns through the gaps, and walked out with their hands raised high.

The puppet army, which had an absolute superiority in military strength, turned against them. The little devil was caught off guard and stood close again. Who was his opponent?
In the end, it lasted 15 minutes, and the battle was completely over. The third battalion destroyed the Japanese squadron, killed 180 and five Japanese soldiers, and captured 150 and four puppet soldiers.
