The opening of the bright sword leads a battalion

Chapter 26 The helplessness of the devil

The above is probably what happened.

And it was precisely because of the leadership of the company commander of the puppet army that Major Kato approached the commander of the puppet army, Lin, and scolded him.

Head Lin was drooling all over his face when he was scolded by Kato, he wiped it helplessly, nodded and said:

"Harm, harm!"

He even wanted to kick the puppet company commander who was watching the show, and asked him:
"Damn it, you brought the devil here?"

After scolding Captain Lin, Major Kato took off his white gloves, folded them into his pockets, and said:

"Now, your entire regiment and army are dispatched to atone for your sins. You'd better work hard for me!"

"If you fight well, you will be rewarded greatly. If you fight badly... not only you, but even your family members will be punished!"

And so it is.

Because of Major Kato's forced request, a regiment of the puppet army was dispatched with all its members and appeared on the battlefield to fight the militia in Heyuan County.

There's no way, if he doesn't come, the devil dares to shoot head Lin directly, but head Lin doesn't dare to resist.

Moreover, the devils did not participate in the battle directly, and stood behind to supervise the puppet army. If anyone dared to escape, the devils would dare to kill.

A squadron of devils served as the supervisor of the battle team, who could kill anyone who was unhappy. This scene made Captain Lin dare not speak out.

In desperation, he had no choice but to vent his anger on the Heyuan County Brigade, yelling and telling his men to rush towards the enemy's position.

……

Facing the attack of a regiment of the puppet army, the Heyuan County Brigade did not fight easily.

As I said before, the equipment of the militiamen was really outdated. Many of them were still holding earth-made "unique stick" pistols, and some had no guns and even brought hoes.

In the face of the attack of the puppet army, if the two light machine guns supported by the first battalion were not constantly firing, the puppet army would have rushed forward. Why did they not dare to charge wantonly because they were afraid of the firepower of the machine guns.

And the two machine guns in the first battalion were firing continuously at the moment. The members of the machine gun team had all gone through that week's "unlimited bullet shooting practice".

On the battlefield, puppet troops were constantly hit by machine guns and fell down, but the number of puppet troops was too many, there was a regiment, and two machine guns were completely unstoppable.

Then, the artillery fire of the Japanese army also began to greet. This devil squadron carried two mortars, focusing on important targets such as machine guns.

The artillery roared suddenly on the battlefield, and militiamen and soldiers were continuously hit and blown up by the artillery shells.

"..."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After Chu Qi came to this battlefield with a battalion, he did not rush up, but hid in the distance with a telescope, quietly observing the battle situation on the battlefield.

He saw the captain of the county brigade, who was talking to a soldier from the first battalion.Judging from the lips, it seems that he is still praising the machine gunner.

Tsk, shameless old man, have you seen how powerful our machine gun team is?Next time, let's see if you dare to compete with me for the main attack.

When the binoculars were raised, Chu Qi saw the machine gunner who was being focused on by the artillery fire, the puppet troops who were forced to attack continuously, and... a Japanese squadron leader who was holding a binoculars and was complacent.

Well, the opponent's binoculars did not find Chu Qi, but Chu Qi observed it and found that the devils were basically supervising the battle. If it weren't for the devils supervising the battle, the puppet army would have given up the attack and all retreated.

Seeing the battalion commander observing with a telescope for a long time, Xiao Zhang asked curiously:

"Battalion Commander, are we going to fight or not? I see the fight is very lively down there!"

Hearing this, Chu Qi chuckled, and asked the soldiers at the side to bring up the map, and compared the surrounding terrain with the map.

This is to determine the orientation of the devil and his own location.

Afterwards, Chu Qi clicked on a place on the map and said:

"This place is a mountain depression, surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is suitable for luring devils into it, and then kill them directly."

"Notify the machine gun team and let them send some people to this place to set up a position. Next, we will send people to lure the Japanese army and let them enter this position."

"As long as we can wipe out the devils, these traitors will definitely hand in their guns and surrender without the supervisor. After all, the second devil is the most spineless."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhang stepped forward to Chu Qi's side, identified the location of the col on the map, answered "yes", and immediately went to notify the troops.

Needless to say, from the moment the battalion commander took over the first battalion, until today's command, there has been no problem. In the end, the battalion commander was proved to be right.

So whatever the battalion commander said, the soldiers below would follow suit, and there were very few objections.

This time is the same, Xiao Zhang believes that the battalion commander has his own plans for this time's tactics.

……

……

After Xiao Zhang notified him.

The first battalion and each department started to move, bypassing the edge of the battlefield, and secretly came to the rear of the battlefield.

The Japanese army in that squadron is right in front of you at this moment.

After observing for a while, Chu Qi asked Sanlian beside him to step forward to lure the devils.

The third company commander and his soldiers quietly stepped forward and stopped at a distance of about 300 meters from the devils. This distance was considered safe, and the devils' rifles could not easily hit the soldiers.

After reaching this distance, the third company commander raised the gun in his hand and took a slight aim.

There was only a sound of "pa--", and the extremely high accuracy of the Liao 300-style rifle played a role. [-] meters away, a Japanese warrant officer was hit in the chest and fell to the ground injured.

But after the warrant officer was knocked down, the devil soldiers around all panicked, raised their guns and looked around, but they couldn't see a single enemy.

In desperation, the devil soldiers had no choice but to cast their eyes on Major Kato who was aside.

The sound of gunfire on the battlefield was complicated, and the group of devils couldn't judge the direction of the enemy for a while.

In the end, I can only count on the officer to give me some instructions.

……

Major Kato was in a good mood today.

Because today, he finally ran into the gathered Huaxia armed forces, and had a chance to catch them all.

On weekdays, these county brigades and the Eighth Route Army are really annoying. They all turn into small units to maneuver and harass the Japanese army everywhere.

The scattered eight roads can be said to be the most difficult to deal with. From time to time, they come to the door to send warmth.

But today, they finally got together. If they could be wiped out in one fell swoop this time, the pressure on the Japanese army in Heyuan County would be reduced a lot in the future.

Moreover, under his supervision, the puppet army continued to cause casualties to the enemy, and even rushed up the hillside once or twice to engage in close combat with the enemy.

Unfortunately, these two attacks were repelled by the county brigade fearlessly.

Not being afraid of death is the most troublesome part of Huaxia Armed Forces.

And just after another round of attack failed...

However, Major Kato's mood started to turn bad. The gunshots from the transportation team were basically over, which meant that the transportation team was probably wiped out.

After the Eighth Route Army ambushed the transportation team, it is likely to start to send reinforcements. At that time, the situation of Kato Squadron will be even worse...

But just when Major Kato was thinking of retiring...

A rifle bullet suddenly hit a warrant officer beside him, and then dozens of bullets flew by, some missed and some hit.

Major Kato picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the bullet, and found the first battalion and the third company.

There are not many soldiers in the third company, and a platoon was left to clean up the battlefield before. At this moment, the number of soldiers is only five or sixty.

After looking at the group of Eighth Route Army, Major Kato recognized from the equipment that they were soldiers from the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Because from the point of view of equipment, this group of soldiers used all brand-new Liao [-]-style rifles.

This kind of rifle was originally an excellent rifle developed and imitated by the Northeast China Army itself, and many of them were produced in the Northeast.

However, after the fall of the three provinces in the Northeast, the Northeast Army withdrew hastily, and a large number of Liao [-]-style rifles were left in the Northeast warehouse, and were finally captured by the Japanese army.

Major Kato has seen this kind of rifle, because the performance of this kind of rifle is good.After it was captured, some people in the Japanese army also liked to use it.

And after seeing this group of Eight Routers holding Liao Shisan...

Kato immediately decided to send a small team to drive part of the puppet army to pursue.

Hearing the words, the adjutant at the side immediately came to persuade him:
"Shao Zuo, you mustn't do it... This is the eighth route, maybe it is deliberately luring the soldiers of the empire to pursue it..."

Hearing this, Kato thought for a while, but didn't reply right away.

Finally, as if thinking of something, he smiled mockingly and asked:

"Then tell me, what else can we do? Don't chase after him?"

The adjutant heard this, but was choked up, and he didn't know what to do.

Regarding the annoying tactics of the Eighth Route Army, not to mention his little adjutant, no one in the Japanese army in North China could come up with a good solution to this problem.

Just like this Huaxia, it was a huge quagmire, and the Japanese army completely sank into it. The struggle would sink faster, and if there was no struggle, there was no hope of winning.

Seeing that the adjutant stopped talking, Kato sighed, he looked helplessly at Balu in the distance, and said:
"Little tiger, we are completely passive about some things, and we have no other choice..."

"As for the Eight Routes, you say we are chasing them, but it may be the enemy's trap. If you say you don't pursue them, the Eight Routes will become more and more rampant, constantly harassing us, causing casualties behind our backs and damaging morale."

"Balu...has completely adapted to our tactics. But we still have no idea about Balu's tactics. It can only be said...we have no choice."

"We can only go after him, otherwise, in the end, our morale will be hit, or we will become enemies..."

On the battlefield with the Eight Route Army, the Japanese army has always been battered.

Obviously, the Japanese army has an advantage in equipment.

But how can this mean that the Eighth Route Army has always been at a disadvantage?
The two sides fought and killed each other.The Eighth Route Army has always been the one with heavy casualties, but it can use superb tactics every time to maintain a strategic stalemate with the Japanese army.

Yes, strategic stalemate.

The majestic imperial army, an army from a quasi-industrial country, was supposed to be crushing an agricultural country.

But unfortunately, the opponent took advantage of their own disadvantages and the opponent's advantages, and forced them into a strategic stalemate, encircling and suppressing them many times without dying...

It can be said.

In terms of using troops...

The leader of the Eighth Route Army has become a god.
