Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 141 Burying the Little Devil Alive

Heijiakou is the only way for Tunliu to go south.

On the ambush position of the first battalion, the trenches built were very well-designed, and the trenches were dug tortuous and winding, and they were specially designed to deal with the Japanese artillery bombardment. Even if such trenches were hit by shells, there would not be many sacrifices.

Digging trenches and foxholes is also a compulsory course for every soldier of the New Second Regiment.

Zhou Weihan is leading Jing Dagang and others to inspect the position.

As its name suggests, Heijiakou looks like a long winding snake from a high place. The whole journey is three or four miles away. The two sides are made of steep loess accumulations. The height is [-] meters, and some places are even inverted. The road in the middle is more than ten meters wide and only three or four meters narrow.

Zhou Weihan had seen such a terrain in his previous life in an ancient village called Langwo in Zhuolu, and Zhuolu was also mountainous.

When traveling in the previous life, when the car passed by, loess clods would fall from time to time, and there was a danger of collapse at any time. Whenever there was a strong wind, people's eyes could not be opened.

The position of the first battalion was arranged outside the south exit of Heijiakou. Except for the hills on both sides, there were still three trenches built on the flat ground, and the firepower was directly facing the exit of Heijiakou.

With the firepower of a battalion, it is absolutely possible to block the reinforcements of the Japanese army in Heijiakou.

"Is there any arrangement in the front of Hei's house?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"Commander, you mean planting mines?"

"The soil on both sides of Heijiakou is soft. If a shell falls in it, the sound of the explosion may partially collapse it. If we bury explosives on both sides, what do you think will be the effect?" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"Captain, this is really a clever plan! I just thought that the upper part of the Heijiakou is not suitable for an ambush!" Jing Dagang said.

Zhou Weihan's tactic was not a whim. In his previous life, he saw the volunteer army use the same method to kill an enemy tank company in a documentary. It is also applicable in Heijiakou.

"The first battalion will ambush the little devil on the south side of Heijiakou according to the current built position, and the reserve battalion will be hidden on the north side. After the battle starts, stab the little devil in the back!" Zhou Weihan ordered.

The scale of the New Second Regiment is getting bigger and bigger. Zhou Weihan no longer worries about everything like before. After the order is issued, the battalion commanders are directly responsible for specific matters.

That afternoon, the sluggish Japanese army finally found out that the Eighth Route Army was not just making trouble this time. Around Shidu Town, several large and small strongholds were pulled out, and there is still a large number of Eighth Route Army still dealing with the Japanese army in Anze.

In view of the protracted fighting, in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from fleeing, the Japanese troops in Qinyuan, Tunliu, and Changzi counties encircled Anze.

But things didn't go as the little devil wanted. The Japanese army in Zhangzi County had just assembled and went south for reinforcements. Li Yunlong's independent regiment started making trouble in the northeast of Zhangzi County.

The backyard of my own house is on fire, so I can't care about others, let's all pray for blessings!

"Haha, God is helping us. At first I was worried that there would be too much commotion, and I would be overwhelmed by then. This time, the brigade department issued an order. The 16th and 17th regiments are rushing to reinforce us. Zhang Dabiao, tell the companies that the commotion is getting louder and louder." The bigger the better." Li Yunlong shouted loudly, this is a master who never thinks too big.

The same is true for Qinyuan. According to the pre-arranged battle plan, Kong Jie's independent regiment had already selected the blocking location the day before and waited for the little devil to take the bait.

Heijiakou.

The main force of the Japanese army stationed in the village was dispatched in full force, forming four columns, with a total of [-] people, and the captain of the battalion, Tian Xinfu, personally led the team.

On the dirt hills on both sides of Heijiakou, one battalion and one platoon ambushed on it.

"Platoon leader, why did the little devil stop? Did he find us?" a soldier asked.

"No, we only have this few people, what can the little devil find?" The platoon leader was also very puzzled.

The New Second Regiment buried 13 explosive packages in Heijiakou, some on the soil walls on both sides of the road, and some directly on the flat ground above.

on the road.

Nobuo Nagata looked at the narrow and long valley in front of him and was hesitating. Shangfeng asked him to quickly reinforce Anze County. Heijiakou was the closest road, otherwise he would have to detour and pass through the nearby counties to reach Anze County.

"Order the Nakazawa Squadron to conduct fire reconnaissance on the hillsides on both sides!" Nagata Nobuo said.

"Your Excellency, Captain, this is not a place to ambush. Such a terrain cannot withstand gravity. I just observed through the telescope and found no trace of the Eighth Route Army's activities!" The adjutant said from the side.

After hearing this, Nobuo Nagata seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind, but the battle was urgent, so he didn't think too much: "The Nakazawa Squadron will go first, and the large troops will pass after making sure there is no problem."

"Hi"

In the valley, Nakazawa Yuichiro and his soldiers passed quickly.

Loess pieces kept falling from both sides. Yuichiro Nakazawa walked carefully to the side, grabbed a pile of slightly moist loess, and muttered to himself: "China is really a vast territory, and there is such a strange terrain!"

The fuses of the new second regiment of explosives were hidden in the weeds, and the little devil hurried through without finding any traces.

Soon, the Zhongze Squadron passed through Heijiakou, and then the little devils spread out at the exit, each on guard.

"Go and inform the captain, no enemy has been found, we can pass quickly!" Nakazawa Yuichiro said.

Nobuo Nagata was overjoyed when he received the notification: "Yoshi, order the troops to pass at full speed!"

Two infantry squadrons lead the way, followed by a machine gun squadron, and finally an artillery squad equipped with four Type 81 [-]mm curved-fire infantry guns.

A soldier of the New Second Regiment lay cautiously on the top of the valley, and saw that the leading Japanese army had already reached the middle of the valley.

The body slowly moved back two or three meters, and then waved his right hand as a signal.

The other soldiers lit the fuses in their hands one after another. The fuses were very long, at least [-] meters away including the part on the hillside.

The ignited fuse made a hissing sound, and the soldiers retreated one after another. Seeing that most of the fuse was burning, a soldier who stayed behind immediately waved his hand at the top of the mountain.

Zhou Weihan saw the signal from the binoculars, and immediately ordered: "All artillery, give me a hard bombardment towards the flat ground on both sides of the valley!"

Zhou Weihan was worried that the explosive package would not be able to achieve the desired effect, so he simply set up double insurance.

Two 75mm mountain guns and six 82mm mortars had been set up in the preset position. At this time, there was a dull sound, and dense shells were hitting both sides of the valley.

"Baga, there is an ambush!" Nagata Nobuo shouted in horror, and what made him even more terrified was yet to come.

The ground shook on both sides of the valley, and the loess kept splashing down. The Japanese army's marching column had all entered the valley at this time. The place where Nobuo Nagata was located happened to be a narrow road with a width of three to four meters. The loess that fell directly drown him.

All the little devils in the valley were stunned. A large pile of loess slid to the center of the valley, making a dull roar when it touched the ground, and the ground shook accordingly. Immediately after a chain reaction, both sides of the valley collapsed.

In just a few seconds, more than 700 little devils were buried alive in the mound.

Zhou Weihan saw through the telescope that the mound was at least seven or eight meters thick in the narrow place, and at least three or four meters thick in the wide place. The flat land on the top of the mountain on both sides collapsed at least ten meters away.

The little devil's average height of [-] meters is buried in it, there must be no way out.

"Damn it, it's almost time for a mudslide!" Zhou Weihan gasped.

"Regimental Commander, the fortifications built by our First Battalion are no longer needed!" Jing Dagang said, looking at the remnants of a group of little devils who were stunned at the exit of the valley.
