Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 41 Japanese reinforcements
Erdaohezi runs through the two counties of Wu'an and Wuyi. The water volume is not too large, but it is enough to feed the surrounding villagers. It is a veritable mother river.

If the little devils in Wu'an County want to quickly reinforce the Liubao stronghold, they must pass Erdaohezi. There is an Anji Bridge on the river.

Originally, the best way to prevent the enemy from reinforcing was to blow up the Anji Bridge, but later I heard from Li Daben that when the little devils just hit Wu'an County, a battalion of the Jinsui Army stayed to stop the enemy, and it was in Erdaohezi. The explosives froze the Anji Bridge, and the soldiers of the last battalion died abruptly on the Anji Bridge.

The Anji Bridge is 12 meters long and 2.4 meters wide. It is made of stones 1 meter long and 2.4 meters wide. The little devil's Type 94 military truck will be able to pass it.

Fortunately, there are many mountains in Wu'an County. After crossing the Anji Bridge, there are endless hills on both sides of the road leading to the Liubao stronghold. Therefore, Erdaohezi was the location of the New Second Regiment's interception.

Before the battle at Liubao stronghold started, Zhao Gang had already led the first part of the New Second Regiment to Erdaohezi.

Zhao Gang directed the soldiers to build fortifications on the high ground selected by the soldiers, and at the same time arranged for people to plant landmines on the road.

"Political commissar, the team leader should have already started," Xu Dali asked.

Zhao Gang looked at his watch and said: "It has already started, let the soldiers pay attention, the enemy will appear at any time."

In fact, Zhao Gang's worries were completely superfluous. The Liubao base was inserted into Wuyi County like a wedge on the map, and it was the farthest base from Wu'an County.

Erdaohezi was ten miles south of Liubao stronghold, and it was not close to Wu'an County.

Since the two counties of Wu'an and Wuyi were stationed at the gates of the Eighth Route Army's base area, they had a large number of troops. Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army, arranged for a regiment to be stationed there.

The little devils' strongholds in Wu'an are densely populated, and the daily combat troops stationed in the county town have only one reinforced squadron, plus a large number of puppet troops.

Therefore, if the little devil wanted to reinforce the Liubao stronghold on a large scale, he would not be able to reach it in two or three hours.

over an hour ago

Takeuchi She, the highest officer of the Japanese army stationed in Wu'an County, had just fallen asleep when he heard the adjutant knock on the door hurriedly, and Takeuchi, who was awakened, shouted loudly: "Baga, you are dead, dead, if no one convinces me For the reason, you are ready to report to the base below!"

"Hey, report to Commander, just received a call from the Liubao stronghold, saying that they were besieged by the main force of the Huaxia Armed Forces and asked for support!" Saburo Yamaguchi said loudly.

"Nani? The main force, how could there be the main force of the Huaxia people in the defense zone?" Takeuchi shouted loudly.

"Junji Ono reported that, based on the calculation of firepower density, this group of enemies is equipped with at least a dozen cannons and forty or fifty machine guns. The firepower is very fierce. The number of people is as high as a thousand. The Liubao stronghold is waiting for reinforcements." Saburo Yamaguchi Said again.

After hearing the adjutant's words, Takeuchi scolded: "Baga, dispatch the defense team in the city immediately, and quickly reinforce the Liubao stronghold along Erdaohezi."

"Hi"

"Invite the big tiger here, just say that I have something urgent to see him!" Takeuchi She said again.

"Hi"

In the Wu'an County Garrison Headquarters, Takeuchi and Major Dashan Yongfu of the Cavalry Squadron were talking.

"Master Takeuchi, when I came here just now, I saw that your people were gathering urgently. Is something wrong?" Yufu Oyama asked.

"Yes, a stronghold in the defense area was attacked by Chinese armed forces. I am preparing to send reinforcements, and now I need your help." Takeuchi replied.

"Oh, is this Huaxia armed force very powerful? Can't you eliminate the threat with the strength of your department?" Dashan Yongfu asked in surprise.

"According to the report from the Liubao stronghold, the enemy has a considerable amount of heavy firepower, at least thousands of people, but I think they were scared out of their wits. It is impossible to have such a large-scale enemy in the defense zone." Takeuchi said confidently.

"However, there is an old saying in China that it is better to believe what is there than to believe what is not, so I ask for your help in the hope that this enemy can be completely wiped out. In this way, you and I are both doing a great job." Takeuchi said arrogantly.

"But the order I received was to send the general's fire to Yangquan County safely for the next sweep. I can't bear the responsibility if something goes wrong!" Dashan Yongfu said in a deep voice.

"Big Tiger, because we are fellow villagers, I will give you this opportunity. You must know that there are thousands of enemies coming this time. As long as we wipe them all out on the spot, General Shinozuka will definitely reward you greatly." Ours, you will be promoted to Lieutenant Sergeant by then." Takeuchi Shepherd said again.

"But." Although Dashan Yongfu had a brave name, he was very cautious.

"Baga, Dashanjun, what about your bushido spirit? Back then, one of our brigades could defeat a division of the enemy's Central Army, so why should you be timid?" Takeuchi said loudly.

The expression on Dashan Yongfu's face changed, and finally he nodded and said, "Hi, Dashan Yongfu is willing to obey orders."

"Yoxi! Then order your troops to assemble! Go late and watch out for those Huaxia armed forces to escape!" Takeuchi said loudly.

"Hi"

As everyone knows, the New Second Regiment has already set up a trap, just waiting for the devils from Wu'an County to sneak in?

Dashan Yufu's cavalry squadron took the lead, and eight 94-type military trucks full of soldiers set off from the county seat of Wu'an County. From the beginning to the end, Takeuchi never had a detailed understanding of the enemy he was about to face, let alone thought about it. However, he may be defeated, or even wiped out.

Like all Japanese military officers in this era, in Takeuchi's eyes, except for the so-called Central Army, which has some combat effectiveness, other local armies are simply vulnerable. Many armies are composed of a group of untrained and simple weapons. Composed of farmers, they basically have no fighting power.

To deal with such an army, you don't need to know the enemy's situation at all. You only need to know where the enemy is. After a few shots, you can be sure that the enemy will flee, and then you only need to chase after it.

As soon as he left the county seat, Takeuchi was quite cautious, the car drove very slowly, fearing that he might be caught in an ambush.

But after walking for nearly thirty miles, he found that nothing happened. Takeuchi realized that he was overthinking. How could the Huaxia people have the courage to send someone to intercept his large army.

After figuring this out, Takeuchi immediately ordered the car soldiers to hurry on the road at the fastest speed, lest the enemy who attacked the Liubao stronghold escape.

Here, Zhou Weihan led his troops to forcibly march from the Liubao stronghold, ten miles away, and arrived in less than half an hour.

At this time, the sky was bright, and Erdaohezi did not move at all.

Zhou Weihan waved his hand to stop the advance, the soldiers hid aside, Jing Dagang immediately sent someone to get in touch with Zhao Gang.

"Captain, is the battle at Liubao stronghold over?" Zhao Gang bent over and trotted over.

"It's over, the battle is going well, how is it going here? Old Li also took people to Lijiagou for support." Zhou Weihan asked.

"The enemy didn't move at all. Could it be that they passed through Lijiagou?" Zhao Gang asked suspiciously.

"No, from Erdaohezi is the fastest way to the Liubao stronghold, the little devil will not seek far away." Zhou Weihan said.

"Jing Dagang, let the soldiers enter the position quickly. The new second regiment will be here today."

　When Sanshui wrote this paragraph, he was thinking about what to do if he couldn’t hit the enemy from the top of the mountain. He could only think that the position was chosen in advance and the distance was appropriate.
