Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 610 The fat in front of the Japanese army

Youji Village in the northwest of Dingtao, where Zhou Weihan set up his temporary headquarters.

The terrain in Southwest Shandong predestined that it could not choose any place at will as an ambush site like in Tainan. However, most of the surrounding roads along the road had no mountains and forests as hidden places, and there were a few places suitable for ambush, which were built by the Japanese army.

Fortunately, this situation has been expected before.

In the clouds in the sky, two reconnaissance planes of the Japanese army showed their figures, obviously conducting reconnaissance on the ground.

within the headquarters.

Li Yunlong was complaining: "Damn it, why is the little devil's plane flying around our heads like a fly? Could it be that he discovered our real intention?"

"The little devil is not stupid. Our Eighth Route Army is obviously going to attack Heze County, so why didn't we send troops to block the Japanese reinforcements? If the little devil doesn't send people to investigate, then it's a ghost!" Zhou Weihan said.

"That's right!" Li Yunlong slapped his forehead and said, this guy's mind is full of thoughts of getting rid of his past shame. Zhou Weihan has noticed this situation before, which is why Zhou Weihan and Xinyituan acted together.

While the two were talking, the telegraph operator went forward and reported: "Member, the independent regiment has sent a telegram, and the chief of staff has led his troops to join the new third brigade!"

"Okay, launch an offensive against Heze County immediately!" Zhou Weihan said.

On the city wall of Heze County, Tengyuan Ichiro held a binoculars and watched the Eighth Route Army troops outside the city unfold their formation.

"Sir, are you shelling the Eighth Route Army outside the city?" asked the adjutant at the side.

"No, wait, wait, let's see the firepower of the Eighth Route Army first!" said Tengyuan Ichiro.

The Japanese army only had two [-]-type infantry artillery in the city. Facing the Eighth Route Army attacking from two directions, the Japanese artillery fire was really a drop in the bucket.

On the other hand, on the side of the Eighth Route Army, fourteen [-]-type infantry artillery were distributed in two attacking directions, four mountain artillery were located in the rear and covered with camouflage nets, and the headquarters was located at the junction of the two siege troops. Straight as a security force.

Brigadier Han glanced at the time, it was exactly twelve o'clock, and the soldiers had already finished their lunch, and immediately said: "Start shelling!"

Prior to this, the telephone soldiers of the independent regiment had already connected the communications of the various ministries participating in the war. Seeing this, Xin Tiebing picked up the microphone and shouted loudly: "Artillery company, artillery company, the headquarters ordered to start shelling the Japanese stronghold outside the city immediately! "

"Yes!"

Not long after Xin Tiebing put down the microphone, the artillery positions in two directions quickly began to shell the intended target.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Continuous explosions sounded from the Japanese positions outside the city.

The first unlucky thing was the Japanese stronghold standing outside the city, which was constantly being taken away like a living target.

Then, without waiting for the reaction of the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city, dense artillery fire came again. The trenches of the Japanese army outside the city were flooded by artillery fire one after another, and they were suddenly replaced by a sea of ​​flames.

Brigadier Han kept observing the situation on the battlefield with a binoculars, and saw the spectacular scene on the Japanese positions, with a smile on his face: "Enjoy it, enjoy it, Chief of Staff Xin, let me tell you, this is the first time I have fought Such a rich battle!"

"The little devil's [-]-type infantry artillery is so easy to use. I used to suffer a lot from it. This time it's finally the little devil's turn!" Political commissar Tan said equally excitedly.

Xin Tiebing smiled slightly, and said to himself that since he followed the Communist Party members, he has been fighting the battle of wealth.

In fact, Xin Tiebing's vision is also higher now. After seeing the power of mountain and field artillery, he somewhat looks down on the power of the [-]-type infantry artillery.

But Xin Tiebing also knew that he couldn't irritate the two in front of him, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

above the city wall.

"Sir, according to the current situation, the siege troops of the Eighth Route Army in both directions have at least a dozen artillery pieces, and there are mountain cannons!" said the adjutant.

Tengyuan Ichiro, an old devil who is proficient in battle, naturally didn't need to be reminded by his adjutant. He watched the scene unfolding in front of him dumbfounded, slapped his right hand on the crenel of the city wall, and said in horror: "Baga, the Eighth Route Army How can you have so many artillery?"

"Sir, Second Lieutenant Yokota sent someone to ask for instructions, whether to carry out artillery countermeasures?" A little devil trotted over to report.

The two [-]-type infantry guns of the Japanese army in the city were all placed on the city wall because of their short range. They were originally intended to be used as direct-pointing artillery.

Fortunately, the Type [-] infantry artillery does not occupy a large area, and the aisle on the city wall can accommodate it.

Facing the soldiers' questioning, Tengyuan Ichiro looked stern and said, "Let the artillery team withdraw immediately, and wait for the infantry of the Eighth Route Army to rush up before firing!"

"Hi!" replied the soldier.

"Sir, the air team at Xinxiang Airport has already taken off, and air support will arrive soon. The Eighth Route Army will start bombarding the fortifications of the city wall immediately. You should retreat to a safe place first!" said the adjutant beside him.

Tengyuan Ichiro also realized that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and he might be killed by a shell. Seeing that the puppet army guards on the city wall were full of panic, he forced the Japanese army to suppress him, but then he hurried down. city ​​walls.

Eighteen artillery pieces fired ten rounds at the Japanese positions outside the city, and the smoke and flames from the explosions still filled the positions.

Without waiting for the headquarters to convey the order again, the artillery company took the initiative to start the artillery fire extension, aiming at the city wall of Heze County.

70mm and 75mm shells fell on the city wall one after another, and the city gate tower to the east was instantly torn apart.

The broken bricks and rotten tiles raised by the aftermath of the explosion splashed towards the surroundings, and the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops were hit one after another, and they ran away one by one.

At the same time, in the direction of the advance route of the Japanese army.

The Shandong Southwest Cavalry Regiment, which has been operating in the enemy-occupied area, encountered the cavalry unit on the right wing of the Japanese army unexpectedly.

As soon as the two sides met, they didn't take the initiative to go forward to fight. Instead, they kept comforting the anxious horses who sat down.

The squadron leader of the Japanese cavalry squadron saw the black cavalry of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, his heart trembled, and then his warlike heart rose, and he immediately shouted: "Quickly, immediately notify the brigade commander. If you find the Eighth Route Army cavalry, our department wants to bite him to death. Surround it!"

Soon after, Kojima Kichizo heard about the situation, but did not reply immediately.

Seeing this, Kuroshima Morita stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, brigade commander, if you don't take the opportunity to eliminate the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army in front of you, they will surely hide in the dark like a shadow and harass and interfere with our troops at any time." Go forward, why not."

Kojima Yoshizang certainly understands Kuroshima Morita's meaning, but right now the Japanese army in Heze is waiting for rescue.

"Baga, damn the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Kuroshima, I order you to lead the cavalry unit to destroy the Eighth Route Army cavalry unit in front of you!" Kojima Yoshizang said sharply.

"Hi!"

Little did he know that the Southwest Shandong Cavalry Regiment was exactly what Zhou Weihan had deliberately placed in front of the Japanese army. If the Japanese cavalry dared to pursue them, they would naturally fall into an ambush circle.
