Bandit Camp

Chapter 268

Ye Tufei said it easily, and the brothers were happy to hear it.

After unloading the items not related to the battle, Ye Tufei will lead the team to send this piece of frost to Little Japan on the Eastern Front as quickly as possible.

Just as the team threw their legs away, Ye Tufei stopped suddenly.

"No!" Ye Tufei said to himself: "No, we have to stop and let me think about it."

Ye Tufei said, and threw himself under a big tree beside the road.

"Is Keigo Yamashita so easy to get rid of?" Ye Tufei asked himself the first question.

The answer is obviously no.

But the problem is that my brothers can easily throw off Keigo Yamashita's troops. Why is this?

There is only one possibility, and that is that Keigo Yamashita gave up his plan of chasing him.

"For Keigo Yamashita, what is more important to make him give up chasing him?" Ye Tufei asked himself a second question.

Once this question was raised, combined with the judgment of the battle situation on the Eastern Front just now, Ye Tufei's thinking became clear immediately.

Little Japan on the Eastern Front should not be passive or at a disadvantage at an average level. It must have encountered a situation of near extinction, which made Keigo Yamashita give up on himself and rush to rescue.

In order to support the Japanese army on the Eastern Front, Little Japan dispatched bombers, but this small number of sorties dispatched in turn did not look like assisting the Japanese Army on the Eastern Front to break through.

Stick to it?support?
When these two words were put together, Ye Tufei immediately understood Yamashita Keigo's sinister intentions.

"We can't rush over, we have to stop to stop the Japanese army on the western front!"

Ye Tufei called everyone together again, and talked about the strategic situation he had just figured out.

"Yamashita Keigo wanted to come up with a tactic that would bloom in the center, and eat up the team that was fighting with the Japanese army on the western front in one fell swoop. Whether this team was Yan Xiwen or the others, the team that fought against Little Japan must be our Chinese team. We You can't just sit back and watch Keigo Yamashita's plot succeed!"

Hit Keigo Yamashita for a blocking battle!

Drag Yamashita Keigo firmly to Erlang Mountain!
The brothers quickly formed a unity.

The best blocking point is the exit on the east side of the valley passage, where there are fortifications built by Little Japan, which can just be used to deal with Little Japan.

The brothers in the whole army immediately rushed to the exit of the valley passage on the east side at a running speed.

Time is measured in seconds at that moment. If they can reach the east valley passage one second earlier, the possibility of successfully blocking Keigo Yamashita will increase by one point.

Fortunately, Ye Tufei has already modified the valley passage. The seemingly open road can't withstand the crushing of chariots at all. In addition, Yan Xiwen and the others also made some changes in the valley passage after they learned that Hu Xiaozhou was arrested. Work.

And Keigo Yamashita's purpose is to wipe out the enemy forces on the Eastern Front. For this purpose, he cannot give up tanks, chariots, artillery and other supplies. Therefore, although the distance through the valley passage is much shorter, the speed is really not fast. .

Ye Tufei led the team and finally arrived at the east exit of the valley passage before Yamashita Jingwu.

As soon as the distribution of troops was arranged, Keigo Yamashita's vanguard arrived.

----

Four small Japanese bombers hovered in the sky all the time. These four bombers brought great trouble to Han Hongxun's attack. They could not charge the Japanese troops trapped on the two small high grounds. They could only rely on the terrain. Try to avoid the bombing of small Japanese planes.

Those Japanese soldiers trapped on the small high ground were not in a hurry. They didn't even have a breakout operation in more than two hours.

Han Hongxun is also a battle-tested veteran, and he has long been aware of what little Japan is up to.

However, he still has time.

Ye Tufei once explained to him the various obstacles and dangers in the Erlang Mountain Passage, and told Han Hongxun that it would take at least four hours for the Japanese armored forces to pass through the Erlang Mountain Passage.

Now, only half of the four hours had passed, and Han Hongxun still had at least two more hours.

In addition, in order not to be dumped by Little Japan, Han Hongxun also ordered the Yellow River Brigade, which was originally tasked with carrying buttocks, to build a position at the exit of the valley passage on the east side of Erlang Mountain, and be on guard against the Japanese troops coming from the western front at any time.

This is a fairly standard tactical arrangement.

The main reason why Han Hongxun did not order the Yellow River Brigade to go to the east exit of the Erlang Mountain Valley Passage to block the Japanese army was because he knew that the Yellow River Brigade Headquarters alone would not be able to complete this blocking task.Rather than letting the Yellow River Brigade be beaten and disabled because of that little time, it is better for him to accept it as soon as it is good and withdraw his troops in time.

On the battlefield, Han Hongxun was unable to organize a charge against the Japanese army, and could only rely on small-caliber artillery to sustain the attack on the Japanese army on the hill.

In this way, there was a stalemate for nearly two hours.

"Let's withdraw! Master, we can't eat this Japanese army. If we continue to fight, we will be more and more likely to be surrounded by little Japan." Han Hongxun's chief of staff made a timely reminder.

At this time, although the casualties of the Japanese army entrenched on the two small hills were heavy, Han Hongxun's unit was also seriously injured by the Japanese bombers.

With a livid face, Han Hongxun rejected the chief of staff's suggestion: "General Zhang Zizhong once said that the final 5 minutes often determine the outcome of a battle. Whoever can persist for the last 5 minutes will win the final victory! We are in a very difficult situation now. , very dangerous, but isn’t the Japanese army on the opposite mountain more difficult and dangerous?”

Stick to the last 5 minutes!

The chief of staff sighed, and went to talk to Huang He on the phone. He had to grasp the dynamics of the Japanese army on the western front. If the Yellow River Department in charge of security found signs that the Japanese army on the western front was coming, then the five minutes would be shortened to five seconds immediately. .

Just as he was about to pick up the phone, Huang He called first: "Hurry up and report to the commander, our army has discovered a large number of troops of unknown origin!"

Han Hongxun picked up the phone and shouted: "Please tell me clearly, what is the unknown origin? Is it Little Japan?"

Huang He hesitated for a moment, and replied: "The information is still unclear, but judging from the team's clothing and equipment, it should not be Japanese."

Not Japanese?Who could it be?

The first thing Han Hongxun thought of was that Ye Tufei and the others broke out.

But Huang He denied it on the phone: "This team has at least three regiments of troops, definitely not Ye Liuye and the others!"

Yan Xiwen was beside Han Hongxun, and suddenly thought of Lu Yao: "Could it be Commander Lu and the others?"

Yan Xiwen reminded Han Hongxun: "Brigade Commander Huang, contact that team immediately. They are probably Commander Lu's team."

Before Huang He could get in touch with that team, the correspondent sent by that team came here instead.

Sure enough, it was Lu Yao's army.

Two days ago, Lu Yao understood Little Japan's strategic intentions, and immediately decided to move the whole army to Erlang Mountain. Just to avoid being discovered by Little Japan, they once again broke up into pieces and went out day and night, using two It was only at night that we went around to the east side of Erlang Mountain.

"The western front is the focus of the Japanese army. They will definitely attach great importance to the safety of the side and rear, so there is no chance to attack from the western front. Didn't I just lead the team to the eastern front?" Ten minutes later, Han Hongxun and Yan Xiwen I met Lu Yao.

"Commander Lu, how did you find this place? This place is still more than ten miles away from the Erlang Mountain battlefield?"

Lu Yao smiled and pointed to the sky: "There is a little Japanese plane leading the way!"

As soon as he mentioned Little Japan's plane, Han Hongxun became furious: "Damn it, I just can't eat the fat in my mouth, it's all because the little Japan's plane is so powerful!"

Lu Yao picked up the binoculars and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield.

"How many troops does Little Japan have?"

Yan Xiwen replied: "About a thousand people. After these few hours of fighting, I estimate that their casualties are no less than 300."

Lu Yao turned around and said to Han Hongxun: "Mr. Han, you are right. If the little Japan loses its air superiority, the Japanese troops on these two isolated mountains are indeed a piece of fat. It will take less than an hour. I can eat this piece of fat cleanly."

Han Hongxun pointed to the top of his head, and replied rather helplessly: "Little Japan has kept four bombers on the battlefield. With them above our heads, we can't attack the high ground at all!"

Lu Yao smiled lightly and said, "Since that's the case, why didn't you think of a way to deal with these bombers?"

Han Hongxun spread his hands and said, "Do we have anti-aircraft guns? How do we deal with them?"

Lu Yao said: "Machine guns! Lure the bombers of Little Japan to do dive bombing, and then use machine guns to deal with them! Master Han, the air force of Little Japan is not under the control of the local divisions. As long as we can shoot down one of them, say no!" The quasi-little Japanese air force will withdraw from this battle!"

Han Hongxun slapped his forehead and shouted: "Why didn't I think of it? I only thought of using machine guns to limit their bombing, why didn't I think of luring them to do dive bombing?"

Lu Yao said: "Leave the planes of Little Japan to us. We are new to the battlefield, and the planes of Little Japan will look down on us. Teacher Han, Political Commissar Yan, you should make all preparations for a strong attack, and wait for the planes of Little Japan As soon as we withdraw from the battlefield, we immediately launch a full-scale attack!"

When Lu Yao commanded the team to appear on the battlefield and made a gesture to charge towards one of the high grounds from the flanks, the little Japanese plane flew over swaggeringly.

Lu Yao's team didn't seem to attach much importance to those things in the sky, and they still made an attacking gesture.

This kind of behavior greatly annoyed the Japanese pilots. The captain of the main engine gave an order and started dive bombing with his wingmen!
As soon as the two planes lowered their heads, they suddenly saw dozens of machine guns emerging from the ground.

The Japanese pilot was taken aback and quickly pulled up the plane.

However, it's too late.

The action of the wingman was only a second late, and the luck of the pilot of the wingman was just a little bit worse...

Ten seconds later, the wingman fell with thick black smoke.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining three bombers immediately changed direction.

With Han Hongxun's order, the four main attacking regiments together with the Erlang Mountain Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade, more than [-] soldiers, launched an attack on the two highlands at the same time.
