Chapter 227 The Battle Begins
The three bandits around Mangdang Mountain were unwilling to support them, and the Japanese devils in Mangdang Town had no choice.

This time they came to Mangdang Town with only one goal, and that was to get rid of the New Fourth Army in the natural forest and mines of Mangdang Mountain.

Mu Chuan Pants was the leader this time, and he directly called the captains of the two brigades to his side.

Mu Chuan trousers said: "Two! The bandits around Mangdang Mountain don't listen to our command at all, and they are also unwilling to send troops to support us in fighting the New Fourth Army. Now we can only rely on the money of the two brigades in our hands to solve the problem. The New Fourth Army in Dangshan Natural Forest Mine.

According to what we know so far, there are only more than 1300 people from the New Fourth Army stationed in the Mangdang Mountain Natural Forest Mine. Of these 1300 people, 1200 are miners from the original mine. There are only more than 100 veterans of the New Fourth Army. With 1 soldiers, it should be easy for the New Fourth Army to destroy the natural forest mines in Mangdang Mountain. What strategy do you have for the New Fourth Army attacking the natural forest mines in Mangdang Mountain?You can speak freely. "

The Japanese army wanted to attack the New Fourth Army in the Mangdang Mountain Natural Forest and Mine, so they would naturally send spies to investigate the strength of the New Fourth Army in the Mangdang Mountain Natural Forest and Mine.

Regarding the strength of the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region, Xin Zhao did not hide anything. Some secret spies entered the area around the natural forest mine in Mangdang Mountain. The soldiers under Xin Zhao found that they did not solve the opponent. The specific reason was to give the former Corresponding information transmission to the Japanese devils coming.

As long as the Japanese devils who came to attack the seventh division of the Huaiyin Military Region know their specific situation, the Japanese devils who came to attack them this time will definitely despise them, and Xin Zhao will be more confident in dealing with this wave of coming at that time. Jap.

The leader of the Devil's First Infantry Brigade said: "Your Majesty! I don't think we need to talk about any strategy at all. The New Fourth Army in the natural forest and mine of Mangdang Mountain is nothing more than a group of farmers with guns. It's only been five days. In time, this group of farmers with guns may not even die with their guns. As long as our army of the Empire of Japan marches forward and makes a collective charge against the natural forest and mine caves of Mangdang Mountain, they can easily crush them. There is absolutely no need to discuss any strategy for the New Fourth Army in the natural forest and mines of Mangdang Mountain.”

The captain of the Devil's Sixth Infantry Brigade said: "Your Majesty! I think what the First Infantry Brigade Captain said makes sense. In the past, a brigade of imperial soldiers could easily chase a regiment of the New Fourth Army. The main regiment of the New Fourth Army, which has been established for a long time, now we have two brigades of troops. It is naturally easy to get rid of the last seven divisions of the Huaiyin Military Region that have just been established.

Under such circumstances, the army of our Great Japanese Empire still needs to think about strategy. This is completely humiliating the soldiers of our Great Japanese Empire. I also think that there is no need to think about strategy. It can be completely solved by simply pushing across. The Huaiyin Military Region of the New Fourth Army has entered the seventh division. "

The Japanese devils also have undercover agents in the New Fourth Army. The establishment of the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region is not a big secret among the New Fourth Army. The division came to the Huaiyin Mangdang Mountain Natural Forest Mine.

It's just that the Japanese devils didn't know that the chief officer of the New Fourth Army in the seventh division of the Huaiyin military region was Xin Zhao. If the Japanese devils knew that the subject of the seventh division of the Huaiyin military region was Zhao Xin, the Japanese devils would not dare to underestimate the seventh division of the Huaiyin military region.

Mu Chuan trousers said seriously: "Idiot! There is an old saying in China that at any time we must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically. Only by doing this can we be invincible.

Now that we haven't taken the initiative to attack the seventh division of the Huaiyin Military Region, you have already despised the enemy so strategically and tactically. If you really rushed directly to the natural forest and mine caves of Mangdang Mountain, I'm afraid that the army of the Great Japanese Empire will be killed. Big loss, if you are still so stupid in the future, don't blame me for reporting your stupidity to Major General Commander Gui Tian Xiuyi and removing the two of you from the post of captain.

I also want to tell you the fact that the two squadrons stationed in the natural forest mine of Mangdang Mountain were easily captured by the New Fourth Army, which you do not value. Although we have two brigades of imperial soldiers in our hands, this It doesn't mean we have an absolute chance of winning.

Now I will give you another chance to discuss how to attack the New Fourth Army of the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region in the Mangdang Mountain Natural Forest Mine. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, both of you are waiting to be punished. "

Mu Chuan Pants himself is a relatively cautious person, and he is naturally very angry that the people under his command don't pay much attention to fighting.

Of course, he can actually understand why the captains of the two Great Japanese Empires did not attach importance to the New Fourth Army, because they rarely fought with the New Fourth Army.

At the same time, they often fought with the soldiers of the Kuomintang. They were able to drive the soldiers of the National Highway around, and the soldiers of the Kuomintang were able to run around with the soldiers of the New Fourth Army. Naturally, they did not pay attention to the soldiers of the New Fourth Army?
Mu Chuan pants had already expressed his attitude, and naturally the two captains of the Japanese army did not dare to continue to underestimate the New Fourth Army, and began to discuss seriously how to use troops in the seventh division of the Huaiyin Military Region.

After two hours of detailed discussions, they finally came up with a strategic plan.

Mu Chuanpants said solemnly: "I hope that you two can strictly implement the strategic plan, and you must not underestimate the enemy and rush forward. If we lose this battle, Sun Bing will even discount the price in the natural forest and mine cave of Mangdang Mountain. Not only will I have to be punished by my superiors, but the two of you will also be severely punished."

"Hi!" X2
Five o'clock the next morning!
The Japanese devils left a squadron of imperial soldiers stationed in Mangdang Town, and the rest of the army all drove to Mangdang Mountain.

After three hours of rapid march!
At six o'clock in the morning, the Japanese devils successfully reached the foot of Mangdang Mountain.

Arriving at the destination, the Japanese devils immediately began to build artillery positions, and 12 [-]-type infantry artillery were assembled in a relatively gentle place at the foot of the mountain.

At the same time, the Japanese devils could already see the first line of defense built by the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region of the New Fourth Army. The Type [-] infantry artillery could shell the first line of defense of the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region of the New Fourth Army at any time.

After the artillery positions were built, the Japanese First Infantry Battalion moved forward, while the Second Infantry Battalion remained firmly behind.

After the first infantry brigade advanced, they were only 1000 meters away from the first line of defense in the seventh division of the Huaiyin Military Region of the New Fourth Army.

Mu Chuan trousers stood at the field command post at the rear, observing the terrain of Mangdang Mountain, and at the same time observing the first line of defense under the New Fourth Army in Mangdang Mountain.

Mu Chuanpants smiled and said to the adjutant beside him: "The Mangdang Mountain where the New Fourth Army is stationed is not very dangerous. As long as the soldiers of our Empire of Japan can break through the first line of defense of the New Fourth Army, the second line of defense and the first line of defense built by the New Fourth Army will The three lines of defense basically have no effect."

The Japanese devil's adjutant said: "Your Excellency, what you said is true! The commander of the New Fourth Army on the opposite side is obviously not a qualified commander. They took down the mine of our Great Japanese Empire, and they dared to station their troops in this mine.

If I were the commander of the opponent, I would have led the troops to retreat to a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I would never continue to nest in the natural forest and mine cave of Mangdang Mountain. After all, even if the New Fourth Army got the natural forest of Mangdang Mountain They also don't have enough ability to dig out the mineral deposits of the natural forest of Mangdang Mountain. Even if they dig out enough minerals during the War of Resistance, they will not be able to use these minerals to enhance their strength. "

"Yoxi! What you said is not wrong at all." Mu Chuan said in his trousers: "Convey the attack order to the First Infantry Battalion and ask him to send an infantry squadron to attack the first line of defense of the New Fourth Army tentatively. The firepower configuration of the first line of defense of the New Fourth Army."

"Hi!"

Mu Chuan's trousers order was conveyed to the Devil's First Infantry Battalion.

The captain of the First Infantry Brigade directly let the First Infantry Squadron begin to charge the first line of defense of the New Fourth Army.

The Japanese devils were 1 meters away from the first line of defense of the New Fourth Army. The Ninth Battalion of the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region of the New Fourth Army stationed on the first line of defense did not do anything. When the distance was 800 meters, the Ninth Battalion still did not do anything. Still no action.

When the Japanese devils were only 200 meters away from the first line of defense in the seventh division of the Huaiyin Military Region, Fang Yuan, commander of the Ninth Battalion of the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region, ordered all the light and heavy machine guns to fire. There were 16 light machine guns, eight heavy machine guns, and 96 semi-automatic rifles. , 12 fully automatic rifles crazily fired at the rushing Japanese devils.

Under such intensive firepower, the Japanese First Infantry Squadron had 250 people, and directly lost more than 3 people in just 60 minutes.

时间又过去了2分钟，日军第一部兵中队又损失了80多人。此时日本第1部兵中队还剩下不到100人，第一步兵中队距离新四军第1道防线还剩下120米。

The squadron leader of the Japanese First Infantry Squadron looked at the loss of soldiers under his hands. He already understood that their army had no chance to rush to the position of the New Fourth Army, and continuing to charge would only wipe out their First Infantry Squadron. There was no signal from the rear to retreat. When No. [-] was born, the squadron leader of the [-]st Infantry Squadron directly gave the order to retreat.

This time their main goal is to test the firepower arrangement of the first line of defense of the New Fourth Army, and directly break through the first line of defense of the New Fourth Army if they have the opportunity. Now that they have tested the firepower arrangement of the first line of defense of the New Fourth Army, they also know that there is no chance to break through The first line of defense of the New Fourth Army.

Although his order to retreat was somewhat against the rules of the imperial army, he did not dare to continue the attack. Finally, he gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.

When the First Infantry Squadron of the Devils retreated, the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion of the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region were not idle. They were still using various firepower to harvest the First Infantry Squadron of the Devils. Another 73 devils were killed, and the leader of the Devil's First Infantry Squadron also died during the retreat. Only 25 devils escaped to the devil's position in the end, and 13 of them were lightly wounded. None, after all, the Japanese devils who were seriously injured had no ability to escape back.

The captain of the First Infantry Brigade saw that one of his squadrons had suffered such heavy losses in an attack, so he directly issued an artillery strike order to the artillery squadron, and at the same time issued an artillery strike order to the artillery position.

The 12 mortars on the front line, plus the 12 [-]-type infantry guns in the artillery position, continuously bombarded the first line of defense of the New Fourth Army. The shelling lasted for half an hour. The captain ordered the artillery to stop the shelling.

This time they came to attack the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region of the New Fourth Army, and they didn't carry many shells. They could only come five times at most for this kind of bombardment regardless of the cost.

The captain of the Devil's First Infantry Battalion gave the order to bombard at all costs because of the heavy losses of the imperial soldiers under his command.

The first line of defense of the New Fourth Army was flattened by three centimeters, but this time the shelling caused very little damage to the New Fourth Army. Xin Zhao knew the three tricks of the Japanese devils very well. Qian's bombardment coverage, as well as the coordination of this bombardment coverage and Long Live Charge.

Xin Zhao had long ordered his soldiers to build iron cat ear holes, and dug anti-cannonball cat ear holes in the trenches. At the same time, they also placed hollowed-out tin buckets in the cat ears. In the cat's ear hole of the barrel, the covering bombardment of the Japanese devils is basically hard to see an inch of success.

After a battle, the Ninth Battalion of the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region of the New Fourth Army sacrificed only one soldier, seriously injured one soldier, and slightly injured two soldiers.

Such casualties did not affect the morale of the Ninth Battalion. The soldiers of the Ninth Battalion hated the Japanese devils to the bone, whether they were new miners who joined the New Fourth Army or veterans of the New Fourth Army.

What's more, their losses can be said to be very small. Even if most of the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region of the New Fourth Army were recruits, they were not defeated.

If the Seventh Division of the Huaiyin Military Region of the New Fourth Army is to be defeated, at least they must lose more than 100% of their soldiers. After all, more than [-] people fought and only one person died in the end. Even if the loss ratio is the same, no matter how unlucky they are, they will not be unlucky.

It is precisely because of this that after a fierce battle, the morale of the recruits of the New Fourth Army is still very high.

Seeing this situation, Fang Yuan, commander of the Ninth Battalion, felt an incomparable respect for Commander Zhao Xin in his heart.
