Chapter 285, the fierce battle around the position
Letting Tuba Road pass by his own housing area caused a catastrophe.

Compared to Kameichi, who had his separete cut, Ishio Yamashita's treatment was simply too good, and he was able to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds to make up for the losses he caused.

He ordered his subordinates to search and move forward, and they must find the trail of the eight roads as soon as possible.

Only with the blood of the eight roads can his shame and guilt be washed away.

"Boost!"

He waved his command knife and shouted hoarsely.As if to charge the enemy.

The general is behind, watching his performance!

Ushijima put down the binoculars and said to the chief of staff beside him: "It seems that the Fourth Brigade has not rotted yet, and the junior commander is very heroic."

The chief of staff flattered: "What the general said is that the Fourth Brigade has repeatedly failed because of the improper command of their upper commanders.

The same soldiers in the hands of the general, led by the general, are the invincible warriors of the empire. "

Ushidoman laughed.

He had fought against the central army of the Chongqing government, and the so-called German weapon divisions were just like that, and most of the army was even more vulnerable.

As for the Tuba Road, an army that still has a lot of cold weapons, what can be worth his attention.

Niu Daoman felt that this was more like an armed parade than bringing troops to attack the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army.

Apart from the little annoyance of the troublemakers, there wouldn't be any problems.

There was a bang, like a beginning, followed by a series of explosions.

The explosion raised a huge amount of smoke and dust, covering the sky and the sun.The metal fragments formed a storm in a space, making people in it feel like hell.

30 seconds, 1 minutes.

The Japanese soldiers lying on the ground stood up one after another to check their own injuries and the comrades who had died around them.

Of the search team of 50 people just now, only half of them can stand up.

Seeing this scene through the binoculars, Ushidoman's face was very ugly, "Baga, send minesweepers."

The chief of staff who spoke just now stopped talking, and winked at the other staff, telling him to do it quickly.

forward command post.

Li Yunlong watched those little devils being blown into the sky one after another, and his eyebrows were delighted.

These grandsons, if you don't take Lao Tzu seriously, you deserve to be unlucky.

Knowing that the target of the attack is the arsenal that produces weapons, common sense understands that the closer to the place to be attacked, the more careful you must move forward, and send engineers to carry out front side mine clearance.

It is precisely because of the overkill that he never looked at the Eighth Route Army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and his supercilious mentality caused troubles and brought him bad luck.

Before seeing anyone, dozens of people were killed or injured.

Zhao Gang said: "This is the fate of the commander who is arrogant and arrogant. If you underestimate the opponent, you will be in trouble."

It is highly unlikely that Balu will underestimate any opponent at the moment, and they are not qualified to do so.

"It's true." Yuan Lang asked with concern: "Lao Li, how are we going to fight this battle?"

Li Yunlong withdrew his gaze, and said without hesitation: "Delaying time, I asked their factory manager, it will take at least three days to disassemble the machinery in the arsenal, and it will take time to transfer it out.

Let's just spend time with the devils, I want to see if the devils can pass us by. "

Huangyadong, as the key arsenal operated by the Eighth Route Army, naturally has no shortage of weapons and ammunition.As long as they can bear it, the new second regiment will not be a problem for a month.

On the contrary, the Japanese army came from afar, and heating and supplies in the ice and snow were problems.

Li Yunlong is confident of winning the final victory.

On the front line.

"Battalion Commander, the devil is going to clear mines."

Zhang Dabiao looked up. Dozens of little Japanese minesweepers were walking towards the minefield with strangely shaped mine detectors in their hands.

The little devil was bombed once, and he learned a lesson.

"Don't worry, don't fire without my order, bring the little devil closer, let's fight again."

Zhang Dabiao leaned back against the trench, took out a crumpled cigarette and sniffed it again and again, and immediately regained his energy.

"Battalion Commander, how do you say that the devil's mine-finding tool works? You can find the mines by shaking the circle left and right on the ground."

Another soldier asked puzzledly.

They had seized the tool in the hands of the devil's minesweeper. They only knew that the little devil could indeed find landmines with this thing, but they didn't know how it worked.

"I want to hear it, so I'll tell you about it." Zhang Dabiao had heard about the principle from Yuan Lang.

The tool in the hands of the little devil minesweeper is called a metal detector.

High-frequency oscillating current is generated to form a magnetic field, and the underground metal will generate an induced magnetic field, and the sudden change of the magnetic field can be found by detecting the coil with magnetic force.

Strictly speaking, it is "mine detection", to find out where the landmines are buried.

"Oh, I see. Does that mean that if I bury a piece of iron in the ground, the devil's minesweepers will also use it as a mine?"

A soldier named Gao Feng asked curiously.

Zhang Dabiao has never tried it: "Theoretically, it should be like this."

Gao Feng asked again: "Then the mines we made don't use metal, so can they avoid the little devil's mine detectors?"

Zhang Dabiao was questioned again, he didn't know if he could, so he replied: "Don't just ask me, you boy, you can ask the political commissar and Advisor Yuan when you have time, they know a lot.

Besides, if you want to know if it works, you have to do an experiment, that is the best way to test. "

Hehe, Gao Feng knew that the battalion commander was annoyed by being asked, but he listened to what Zhang Dabiao said.

After the battle, he went to study it.

After smoking two cigarettes, the little devil's minesweeper entered the minefield.

Zhang Dabiao pulled the rope, and a series of mines were detonated. The Japanese soldiers who were clearing the mines were blown to the sky just like those guys just now.

The fly in the ointment is that all those devils were not killed.

"Battalion Commander, the devils got up and cleared the mines again."

"Hit him asshole!"

Zhang Dabiao doesn't believe it anymore, there are no mine-sweeping soldiers, let's see what you do, little devil.

The third company deployed in the forward position roared at the enemy like a waking giant.

The minesweepers of the Japanese army and the infantry who followed them became the targets of attack.

After a burst of shooting, the minesweepers were all finished, and the infantry behind were also cut and beaten to the ground.

Bang, a shell fell on the front of the position.

"Anti-cannon!"

Zhang Dabiao roared.

The soldiers raised their guns one after another and hid in the anti-gun holes.

Soon, the artillery shells falling like hailstones hit the position of the third company.

Hiding in a bomb-proof hole with the battalion commander, listening to the rumbling sound of cannons outside, the sand and dirt fell on their heads, all of them looked ashamed like natives.

Gao Feng asked: "Battalion Commander, how do you know that the devils are going to shoot?"

"Ah, what did you say?"

The sound of the cannon was so loud that people were almost deaf. Zhang Dabiao heard it a second time before he heard it clearly.

He also replied loudly: "This is experience. The devil's first shell is a test fire, and the rest is the feast."

The artillerymen of the Japanese army fired more than 200 shells at the position of the third company in one breath, which was twice as many as usual.

But they didn't expect that the effect of this shelling was better than nothing.

The soldiers of the third company came out of the anti-blasting holes, one by one, like yam eggs just dug out of the soil, with soil all over their bodies.

But after counting the number of people, the casualties were minimal, and one person who hadn't had time to hide in the anti-blasting hole was injured.

Zhang Dabiao, who had often suffered under the devil's artillery fire before, said happily: "It is beneficial to build a position in advance! Defense against artillery holes is very effective."

The Eighth Route Army often fought mobile and guerrilla warfare, and did not have time to build too complicated trenches.

Fighting positional warfare is relatively rare.

The meritorious service in the defense of the blast hole is an attempt and an experience.It will still be useful in the future.

Half an hour passed, and the Japanese army that retreated before made a comeback.

"Battalion Commander, look what the little devil is up to!"

A group of little devils got sheep from nowhere, and they were driving them to the minefield.

Zhang Dabiao understood: "The little devil wants to use livestock to detonate the mines."

There is no shortage of landmines in the arsenal. For better defense, the soldiers worked overtime and arranged a large minefield at the front.

The two batches that were actively detonated in the front accounted for only about one-third.

The Japanese army was just now under the cover of artillery fire and wanted to charge. They ran fast and stepped on mines to blow up more than a dozen before they had no choice but to retreat.

The Japanese army also understood that there is no way to enter the landmines without removing the landmines and opening a safe passage.

After the sheep have entered the minefield, look at the minefield where not a single mine has been activated.

Zhang Dabiao sneered and said: "You are so polite, you know that our food is poor, so he brought us mutton."

The little devil's method of using a flock of sheep to land mines is correct. Ordinary land mines may have already detonated.

But this time it was a bit of a coincidence. The landmines planted by the New Second Regiment were all big stepping mines, which would only make noise when people stepped on them or when horses stepped on them.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, there was no effect at all, and Ushijima frowned in the rear.

"General, how about I ask the logistics squadron to mobilize some large animals and try again."

The chief of staff proposed a solution. It would take more time for the minesweepers to transfer money from the rear, and it was obviously too late.

Ushijima said: "No need, the artillery cover launched a strong attack, I want to see how many landmines can be buried on the Tuba Road."

As soon as the general was successful, his heart was as hard as a rock after leading troops to fight so many battles.

In his eyes, soldiers who died in battle were just numbers, no different from big cattle.

The newly replaced seventh, eighth, and two squadrons replaced the sixth squadron and launched an attack.

Zhang Dabiao commanded the machine gun position at the front of the third company to fire violently, and cooperated with the minefield to kill and injure the delayed enemy.

In less than half an hour, the Japanese army suffered more than 200 casualties, their morale was on the verge of collapse, and they were forced to withdraw from the minefield.

Niu Daoman, who was watching the battle from the rear, was extremely annoyed, and immediately ordered to concentrate artillery fire to suppress firepower, and replaced the new force with a desperate attack on the Seventh Company's position.

Zhang Dabiao faced a choice.

If they avoided the shelling, the Japanese soldiers would rush to the position and fight for the position with bayonet grenades, and the goal would be achieved.

If you don't dodge the bombardment, a round of bombardment may cause more than half of the direct casualties.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong was behind him, so he didn't have to worry about it.

"Fire it! Give me a beating!"

Although the New Second Regiment is not as rich as the devils, it is not short of shells.

Li Yunlong gave an order, and the artillery shells blasted towards the enemy group, forming a steel barrage, which once again blocked the enemy's attack.

The soldiers of the third company hid in the anti-battery hole with peace of mind, waiting for the end of the Japanese shelling.

And so on and on.

The battle lasted all day, and the Japanese army used two brigades to attack in turn.

The road leading to the third company's position was covered with corpses of Japanese soldiers, and blood stained the entire land dark red.

Faced with such a tragic situation, it still failed to affect the enthusiasm and numbness of the Japanese soldiers who were occupied by the spirit of bushido.

After hundreds of people were killed in battle, it was still difficult to attack.

"These devils are really crazy."

The sky was getting dark, and Sanlian had been guarding for a whole day, and he was very tired.

The landmines on the front position were almost trampled by the Japanese army.

Li Yunlong said: "It doesn't make much sense to keep guarding. Let Sanlian withdraw to rest and let the devils in."

The battle of the first day is over.

The Japanese army won the victory and captured an outlying position of the Eighth Route Army.

But according to statistics, a small outlying position caused more than 600 casualties.Half the brigade is gone.

"Where's the enemy?"

"The enemy should have at least one battalion, and they should have been disabled by us, so they gave up their positions."

The chief of staff did his best to be a paper backer, saving face for the head of the brigade.

Even so, the number of casualties is two or three times that of the enemy, which is still difficult to accept.

"General, do you want to attack tomorrow?"

Niu Daoman glanced at him and replied: "Why not? I want to see how tenacious Tubalu is."

He is an extremely proud person. He dare not say that he was invincible before, but he won most of the time.

It is impossible to stop the attack because of too many casualties.

For him, there is only one result, which is to break in, destroy the Tuba Road, and occupy the enemy's arsenal.

The victorious Japanese army was gloomy, but the Eighth Route Army, which was forced to retreat, was celebrating.

A fat leg of lamb was brought to the table.

Li Yunlong cut off a large piece with a knife and put it in Zhang Dabiao's bowl: "Your camp has worked hard today, eat a piece of mutton to make up for it."

The mutton that the little devil gave away for free tasted extraordinarily delicious.

"Huzi, has the mutton been sent to the wounded?" Zhao Gang asked with concern.

Hu Zi ate so much that his mouth was full of oil, and he kept nodding: "Send it over."

Compared with Zhao Gang who cared about the lives of the soldiers, Li Yunlong cared more about the battle situation.Ask Zhang Dabiao some details about his fight with the devils today.

"Captain, when I fight against these little devils, I can feel that they are definitely elite. The combat quality is very high, and they are not afraid of death.

To be honest, if we hadn't taken advantage of the terrain today, planted mines in advance, and had artillery support, a company wouldn't have been able to defend for that long. "

Zhang Dabiao will not look down on the Japanese army who lost to him just because he won today.

On the contrary, he sees very clearly that today's victory is the blessing of many factors.

Not every time, it can be like today.

Li Yunlong watched the frontier command post for a day, and he was quite familiar with the whole battle, and he also agreed with Zhang Dabiao's opinion.

However, if there is no if, they now occupy a favorable position, so they have to play it out.

War is never fair, nor fair.

Only the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit.

Don't underestimate the enemy, but don't worry too much about them either.Just keep a normal state of mind.

"Let's eat, it's probably going to be another bad fight tomorrow." Li Yunlong put all the lamb leg and bone into Zhang Dabiao's bowl.

Zhang Dabiao was flattered: "Head, this is too much."

Zhao Gang persuaded: "The head of the group will give you this, so you can eat it. If you don't have a hot meal tomorrow, and you don't have a good physical strength, you won't be able to survive."
