The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 956 I have the advantage, keep attacking!
Under the order of Shi Chuan, the third mixed brigade quickly reinforced two infantry brigades.

Brigadier Chen, who received the news immediately, would naturally not be idle.

Each road sends a main combat regiment, relying on the terrain and terrain along the way, to launch a fierce resistance.

The two main regiments responsible for blocking the attack were specially equipped with some artillery this time, which were the [-]nd mortar artillery company and the infantry artillery company that accompanied the main regiment.

One side waits for work at ease, while the other comes in haste.

The two Japanese brigades that the devils quickly came to reinforce came in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to keep up with the two infantry artillery that accompanied the army.

As a result, he was directly bombarded head-on by the artillery companies carried by the two main regiments of the Eighth Route Army lurking here.

The Japanese army fully felt the aggrievedness of being crushed by the superior artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

The two artillery company commanders in charge of artillery strikes have rich combat experience.

They deliberately placed the infantry artillery and the [-]-type mortar in a hidden area with higher terrain, and placed them outside the effective range of the [-]-type grenade carried by the little devil.

In this way, the Japanese army was beaten completely unilaterally.

After several rounds of artillery attacks.

The two company commanders quickly led the soldiers to transfer the mortars and infantry artillery to avoid the follow-up infantry artillery counterattack by the devils.

Just after the artillery fire stopped.

The gunpowder smoke covering the Japanese positions has not completely dissipated.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had been ambushing on both sides of the mountain road, quickly advanced to the forward ambush area like tigers descending the mountain.

Immediately, with the help of light and heavy machine guns erected, including [-] mortars, they launched an attack on the Japanese troops entering the ambush area.

After the ambush came down, the commotion became louder and louder.

The two vanguard Japanese brigades that had been encircled by the Eighth Route Army had not yet been rescued, and the two newly added brigades were caught in the entanglement of the two main groups of the Eighth Route Army.

The news spread to the third brigade headquarters.

Do you think the old devil Ishikawa will be furious?
Quite the opposite.

After the old devil pondered for a while, he was actually happy instead of angry.

The adjutant on the side was full of confusion, and only heard his brigade commander, Major General Ishikawa, say: "Yaoxi, it seems that our army's active retreat has lured out the main force of the damn 385th Brigade's Eighth Route Army.

The Taihang Mountains are complicated. If the Eighth Route Army wants to hide and fight against us, our imperial troops really can't find a way to force the Eighth Route Army to fight our army.

But the main force of the Eight Routes took the initiative to jump out, so it was different.

At this moment, although the two vanguard brigades of our army and the two infantry brigades as reinforcements were caught in an ambush by the Eighth Route Army.

Conversely speaking, these are also the four brigades of our army, which have completely contained the main combat troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Our army still has reinforcements from nearly two brigades.

The advantage is mine!

In my opinion, why bother to attack the Iron Triangle's Tuba Road?

Simply unite with the reinforcements of the other two brigades, concentrate our forces first, and eat up the eight main forces of the 385 brigade in one bite! "

Ishikawa, who had made up his mind, had a more confident expression on his face.

Then they couldn't wait to let the communications soldiers convey the communication news to the headquarters of the 16th and No.[-] mixed brigades.

He also expressed to the two brigade heads of the Ninth and No.16 mixed brigades that they hoped that they could join forces to destroy the main force of the 385th Brigade and the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

As for the brigade commanders of the First Army, Ishikawa and the brigade commander of the No.16 Mixed Brigade of the Ninth Army are naturally very familiar with each other, and their feelings are quite deep.

Right now, on the one hand, it is going north to reinforce the troops stationed in Mongolia.

On the other hand, it is to assist their own third brigade to deal with the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the 385th brigade.

Even if you think about it with your toes, you know what to do.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army of the 385th Brigade was obviously aware of the intention of the Japanese army to go north, reinforce the Mongolian army, and deal with the Iron Triangle.

Therefore, the active diversionary attack was extremely violent.

The Third Mixed Brigade could not just sit back and watch the four Japanese brigades trapped in the siege of the Eight Routes be wiped out.

Therefore, without saying a word, the two brigade leaders of the No. 16 Mixed Brigade of the Ninth Japanese Army directly put the remaining main force into the battle against the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the 385th Brigade.

Assist the third mixed brigade to take the lead in destroying the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the 385th brigade.

As for the feedback, the news was passed on to the headquarters of the Devil's First Army.

——The Eighth Route Army of the 385th Brigade is very entangled. The remaining main forces of the third, ninth, and No.16 mixed brigades are temporarily unable to withdraw from the base of the 385th Brigade and get rid of the entanglement of the Eighth Route Army.

That's it.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who originally planned to mobilize three mixed brigades to join forces with the Mongolian army to deal with the Iron Triangle, did nothing.

If you insist on letting the three major mixed brigades go north, the joint garrison in Mongolia will deal with the three regiments of the Iron Triangle.

As a commander, he was somewhat suspected of using public announcements for personal gain.

Who doesn't know Yoshio Shinozuka's hatred for Audio-Technica?
The helpless Yoshio Shinozuka had no choice but to inform the headquarters of the Mongolian Army to find a way to deal with the Eighth Route Army of the Iron Triangle.

Wait for the three major mixed brigades to withdraw from the base of the 385th brigade.

I don't know.

The 385th Brigade's base area, the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army have long been fighting each other.

"Hey, Brigadier, this time we caught all three big fish in one go!"

When the brigade headquarters was discussing the next battle layout, the chief of staff said excitedly.

Originally, according to Brigadier Chen's battle plan, any mixed brigade that could eat up or defeat the devils in one go would be considered a complete victory.

Who would have expected that this son of a bitch is also interesting.

In the face of the active counterattack of the 385th Brigade, not only the main force of the 16rd Mixed Brigade stayed, but even the 385th and No.[-] Mixed Brigades, which had already evacuated to the center line of the base area, stayed in the [-]th Brigade along with the [-]rd Mixed Brigade. Travel base.

He also assumed a decisive battle with the 385 brigade.

For the 385 brigade, the combat pressure suddenly increased a lot.

Of course, the three major mixed brigades facing the Japanese army are not the main force at full strength.

After all, the three major mixed brigades deployed a large part of the elite to reinforce the Huangyadong area.

So like the third, ninth, and No.16 mixed brigades of the Japanese army, the original full staff may have 9000 or [-] people, a combat force.

At this time, it is not bad if there are 5000 people left in each mixed brigade.

In addition, the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the North China Security Army led by Yan Sanfu.

The strength of the Japanese and puppet troops was nearly 2.

If this was in the past few years, facing an attack of nearly 2 Japanese and puppet troops.

Brigadier Chen definitely didn't say anything else, he would give an order to carry out anti-sweeping when he turned around, trying to divert and break through.

But it's different now.

The equipment level of the 385 brigade has been continuously improved, and this waist has become a lot harder.

"Good come!"

In the headquarters, Brigadier Chen's eyes were brighter than ever.

"One mixed brigade of devils wants to fight! Three mixed brigades, we still have to fight!
Over the years in our Taihang base area, the 386 brigade has basically snatched the title of fighting devils. How can anyone remember that our 385 brigade is also the main combat brigade of the 129th division of the Eighth Route Army?
This time we will fight him a big one. It is best to beat the devil's three mixed brigades to him in one go.

It's also good to let the whole North China see the means of our 385 brigade.

Even compared to the 386 brigade, it's not bad at all! "

The chief of staff echoed: "Brigadier, what you said is very good.

Then don't say anything, this time we will go all out, don't want to bear the child, can't catch the wolf, take out all our family assets, and fight the little devil with open swords and guns! "

"It just so happened that Kong Jie sent us a large number of excellent equipment, all of which came in handy, and let him have a good taste of it!"

Speaking of this, the chief of staff made a plan and said: "Brigade Commander, I suggest that our newly built 75mm howitzer unit and the [-]-type mountain artillery unit be pulled out to join the battle."

"Including our Feilei troops, all of them are set up in various dangerous passes."

"After the decisive battle has completely started, we have to make a big disturbance. At least the three mixed brigades of the devils must be dragged to our base area. All the landmines accumulated over the years are buried out of hell.

The roads and trails are arranged densely, so that his little devil will wake up early tomorrow morning, and he will have no way out! "

"Let's come to him to beat the dog with one move, catch the turtle in the urn, and have a good battle with his little devil!"

Turning the subject, the chief of staff continued:

"Of course, even with so many arrangements, to be honest, with the strength of one brigade of ours, it is still a bit too reluctant to completely eat the devil's three mixed brigades within a limited time.

Maybe I really burst my belly.

What we are fighting for is tone, but we must not be careless.

After the main forces of the three mixed brigades of the Japanese army were completely dragged down, our news must be released at the same time, whether it is the direction of the 386th brigade or the various combat troops in Huangyadong, all notifications will be in place.

We have to let others drink some soup when we eat meat.

Specifically, whether there are surplus troops coming back to help the three major mixed brigades that raided the devils from the back, it is up to each unit to analyze in detail according to the situation on the battlefield. "

After the chief of staff finished his analysis, Brigadier Cheng nodded.

"Okay, that's it!"

"We're here to fight with the whole brigade this time, and we'll also draw out all the garrison troops, and the entire base will count as a share of combat power."

"Such a rare opportunity, such a joyous battle, after passing this village, there will be no such shop, haha——"

……

The scale of the battle between the two sides gradually expanded after the three major mixed brigades of the Devils transferred their troops and advanced to the hinterland of the 385 brigade base.

With the return of the main forces of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The four Japanese brigades that had been ambushed by the main force of the 385th brigade were rescued successively by luck.

It's just that the situation of the four Japanese infantry brigades at this time is already quite tragic.

The situation of the two Japanese brigades that followed up the reinforcements in the past was better, but there were only one or two hundred casualties.

At the beginning, they fell into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army, and the two Japanese brigades that were the first to counterattack by the main force of the 385th Brigade even suffered nearly half of their casualties, which was very miserable.

Yan Sanfu, who arrived with the puppet soldiers from the [-]th Mixed Brigade, watched the tragic scene of the first and second Japanese brigades, his eyelids twitched.

He had no doubts at all, but if the follow-up main reinforcements of the Japanese army were slower, the two elite infantry brigades would probably be directly eaten by the Eighth Route Army.

Not even scum will remain.

goodong...

Yan Sanfu turned his head, his gaze intersected with that of the adjutant at the side, Da Congming, and the same idea was born in the hearts of the two of them:
Fortunately, fortunately, he had been deliberately procrastinating before, so that he avoided the tragedy of being the cannon fodder and taking the lead.

Otherwise, it would be his eighth mixed brigade who was hit hard at this moment.

... "Bastard, these damn bastards, I must wipe them all out, tear them into pieces, and leave no one behind!"

Witnessing the tragedy of the first and second infantry brigades, the old devil Ishi Chuan was furious, and at the same time a little frightened.

The Tuba Road of the 385th Brigade actually has such a level of combat effectiveness.

These more and more strengthened his determination to completely destroy the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army this time. Otherwise, such an Eighth Route Army would continue to grow, and sooner or later it would become another serious problem for the First Army.

"attack!"

Ishikawa gave the order to fight, while analyzing the main force of the Eighth Route Army of his opponent, the 385th Brigade, at the temporary headquarters that followed the army.

Nan Tian, ​​the devil's chief of staff, said: "Brigade commander, judging from the current situation, the 385th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has deliberately concealed its firepower since the beginning of the battle.

Their firepower configuration and excellent equipment are far more powerful than we imagined.

In the battles so far, the Eighth Route Army's methods against the vanguard of our army include some mortar and infantry artillery units.

It is necessary for our army's follow-up offensive to make timely adjustments to the considerable number of artillery in the hands of the Eighth Route Army! "

Ishikawa nodded: "What do you think?"

Nan Tian replied: "Anyway, although the Eighth Route Army has some artillery, it is still far inferior to our army in terms of numbers.

The best way to destroy the limited artillery of the Eighth Route Army is our army's more powerful artillery advantage.

I suggest spreading out the scouts to guide our army's artillery to attack, and use it to destroy the exposed artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army at any time.

In addition, our army's rear artillery units, including supply units, must keep up in time to prevent being cut off from our main force by the Eighth Route Army. "

"Yaoxi, I will do as you say!" Shi Chuan finally said.

"Hi!"

……

It was only very soon that the two old devils realized how stupid their judgment of the Eighth Route Army's "not many artillery" was.

The 385 brigade team has some [-]-type wing artillery, [-] mortars, and infantry artillery that are attached to it.

Immediately afterwards, during the confrontation between the two sides, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army successively displayed all kinds of artillery, which really emerged one after another, and the number was even more exaggerated.

For a while, the attacking Japanese army felt a little frightened.

How could this still be the earthy road with outdated equipment and scarce ammunition in their impression?
What's the situation?

The Japanese army had grenades and grenades.

Yes, the Eighth Route Army has grenades and grenade launchers, which distribute corresponding grenades, and can even project this kind of grenade bomb to a distance of 200 meters.

This directly made up for the lack of firepower of the Eighth Route Army in close combat.

For the time being, the Japanese army has not developed a corresponding means of suppressing firepower against the Eighth Route Army's grenades.

The devil's grenade is limited by the shortest shelling distance.

So in the short encounter between the mountains and valleys, relying on this effective grenade attack method, the Eighth Route Army gained an overwhelming advantage.

The casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops, because of the grenade offensive used by the Eighth Route Army, spread at an exaggerated speed.

Not only that.

The Eighth Route Army also has means to fire at longer distances, and that is through the grenadiers captured by the little devils, including the [-] mortar developed by the Eighth Route Army itself.

Compared with the Devil's traditional 11-style grenadier and the Taisho [-]th grenadier, it has a longer range, greater power, and higher accuracy.

Coupled with the excellent four-player shelling mode.

Loader, observer, gunner, commander.

Even with this kind of squad-level small-caliber artillery, the little devil is no match for the artillery of the 385th Brigade...
