Sign in at the start of the Sword

Chapter 310, the predecessors dug the pit, the posterity stepped on the pit
Junxiu Yamashita woke up leisurely. His injury was not serious, but one leg was crushed and broken. According to the doctor, he will recover after a few months of recuperation.

But does he still have time to recuperate?
Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, he couldn't help thinking:
The enemy must be the Eighth Route, and so many people have seen it, there is no doubt about it.

But will the general eight-way have such sufficient firepower?

As far as he knows, there are very few troops with such equipment in the Eight Routes, and they are the absolute main force.

Moreover, the enemy's fighting style is to rush and attack, relying on absolute firepower to launch attacks, and the style of fighting is unique.

Toshihide Yamashita felt very familiar.

"Source, call me Liu Xiongfei."

Liu Xiongfei, who had been guarding outside all the time, was sweating profusely from anxiety.

It stands to reason that Colonel's injury has nothing to do with him, so he has nothing to be afraid of.

But are the Japanese reasonable?

Liu Xiongfei scolded angrily: "Little Japan of the ringgit, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes. If you die, you will die, and you will also implicate me, what a fuck."

"Liu Sang, the captain told you to go."

The sudden appearance of the messenger almost made Liu Xiongfei's heart stop.

Carefully observe that there is no unnecessary expression on the messenger's face, it seems that he did not understand what he was scolding.

Liu Xiongfei let out a sigh of relief, and trotted to find Junxiu Yamashita to report.

"Master, it's great that you're fine..."

As soon as the front foot scolded someone for being a bad thing, the back foot began to boo and greet warmly, licking the dog better than licking the dog.

Junxiu Yamashita didn't have time to listen to flattery, so he directly asked if Liu Xiongfei had any information from Eighth Route.

In many cases, natives have more advantages in obtaining intelligence than foreigners.

"You're right to ask me."

Liu Xiongfei's face was a bit happy, he knew whether the Japanese would turn their backs, it depended on his own performance.

If it is of great value, the Japanese are very willing to show a friendly attitude.

And he just got some information.

Most of the escaped Central Army prisoners were captured by his men, and they also got information about the enemy from the mouths of these people.

The number of this Eighth Route is the New Second Regiment.

"New Second Regiment?! It's them..."

The Eighth Route Army has many similar designations, and there is more than one called the New Second Regiment.

But Junxiu Yamashita's mind immediately came up with the Eighth Route New Second Regiment that caused them a disastrous defeat in Huangyadong.

A mere regiment withstood the siege of nearly 6000 of them for eight days and nights.

Liu Xiongfei added in a timely manner: "Master, I'm sure it's the new second regiment, their regiment leader Li Yunlong, the imperial army offered a reward of 30 oceans."

30 oceans, the division commanders of the general central army are rarely worthy of it.

It must be the main force of the direct line, who can fight tough battles.

Liu Xiongfei also thought about beheading this person and trading the ocean with the Japanese.

But that's just thinking about it, a mere team leader can make the Japanese ask that kind of price.

This person must not rely on being handsome.

But enough Japanese died in his hands.

Liu Xiongfei still wants to live longer, so that he will not die foolishly for money.

So, even though he knew that the eighth way was in his early hundred, he didn't tell Yamashita Junxiu.

Instead, he kept emphasizing that the enemy was so powerful that the imperial army had to go out in person.

Toshihide Yamashita also thought so: "Liu Sang, you are right, this new second regiment should not be underestimated, and the imperial army must personally fight to deal with it."

His logic is very simple, the imperial army has suffered losses in the hands of the new second regiment, and the even worse imperial association army is even more unreliable.

Facts have also proved how vulnerable the Imperial Association Army is.He was defeated twice, and even the running distance did not exceed 10 minutes.

If they were to encircle and suppress the New Second Regiment, it would be like meat buns beating dogs.

"Someone, get the telegrapher."

Toshihide Yamashita has served as the captain of the alliance now, which is very different from the past.

He has a full regiment in his hand, plus a 24th Division of the Imperial Association Army who is supporting him from the side, so he has plenty of cards to play.

To encircle and suppress the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and avenge the sacrificed brigade commander, Toshihide Yamashita was very confident.

However, large-scale mobilization of troops must be reported to the superior.

Of course, the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army is also extremely important.

The wing reported to the Ninth Brigade, and the information was reported to Taiyuan one step further, and then to the desk of the commander of the First Army Yoshio Iwamatsu.

After reading the information, the Chief of Staff of the First Army hit the nail on the head with one sentence: "The Eighth Route Army is not reconciled, and sent people to step on our territory."

Yoshio Iwamatsu understood a little bit, and immediately understood: "The central army entrenched in the Zhongtiao Mountain area has been wiped out by us, and the imperial army has not yet established a stable rule.

Tubalu saw that there was a bargain to take, so he came here.

But we just can't let them do what they want.

No matter how many they come, mobilize three times the army, completely encircle and destroy the enemy, and never let them take root. "

The number of Japanese troops was nearly twice that of the Central Army, so they resolutely launched the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan.

At this time, three times as many soldiers and horses were used to deal with the Eighth Route Army, which shows that they attach importance to it.

The number of eight routes requires intelligence investigation, and it will take a certain amount of time to mobilize troops to approach.

The task of encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route New Second Regiment naturally fell on the Yamashita Regiment.

Toshihide Yamashita got the order and felt mixed feelings in his heart for a while.It has always been his wish to seek revenge from the new second regiment.

But at the same time, he also realized that the new second regiment was not so easy to deal with.

Didn't he just come here and give him a blow?

One leg was broken, and he had to lie on a stretcher to command the next day of combat.

"The little Japan of the ringgit is really fucking unlucky."

When Liu Xiongfei heard that his 24th division was going to cooperate in the battle, he directly greeted the ancestors of the Japanese in his heart.

Li Yunlong's name in the new second regiment, he has been heard like thunder.Fighting with the opponent, isn't that courting death?

The first two times it was my luck that I was not blown up by shells.Who can guarantee that he will be lucky to live next time.

Following Toshihide Yamashita to the combat command room, he stood aside with a sad face and said nothing, as if his father had died.

Toshihide Yamashita was very interested, carefully looking at the map on the wall.

Yepo Forest is where the Imperial Association Army was ambushed twice.

From here, pass through Shibalipu, and then pass through the path of Porcupine Mountain, and you will enter the mountain.

If you want to encircle and suppress the Eight Routes, you have to block the front and back to prevent the enemy from escaping.

Junxiu Yamashita thought for a moment, and he had already prepared a rough encirclement and suppression situation.

"Liu Sang, let your second regiment cooperate with my second brigade and go straight into Liujiagou from the left wing.

The third regiment assisted the third infantry brigade from the right wing, and all the men and horses of the headquarters also assembled, and set off with me. "

Counting the Fourth Infantry Battalion resting in Hanjia Town in the mountains, a situation of siege on all sides has basically been formed.

For the rest, it is necessary to make specific adjustments according to the enemy's movements.

Liu Xiongfei showed his misery with a bitter face: "Master, my first regiment was ambushed by the Eight Route Army twice in one day, and the losses were extremely heavy.

The morale of the brothers under him is extremely low, and they don't have much fighting power when they are pulled on the battlefield. Can you take it easy? "

Toshihide Yamashita refused without hesitation: "It's not necessary. To deal with the new second regiment, I don't count on the Imperial Association Army at all. Your only mission is to assist the Imperial Army in searching and finding the enemy's trace."

What is more heart-wrenching than not being able to beat the enemy is that the Japanese made it clear.

The lung tube was directly poked, Liu Xiongfei's face became extremely ugly, and he scolded again in his heart: "Little Japanese of the ringgit, can your mother speak?"

He only dared to complain in his heart and curse behind his back.In front of his face, he still reluctantly agreed.

After all, there are Japanese people who are against it. No matter how miserable it is, it shouldn't be wiped out by the Eight Routes, right?

……

evening.

Zhao Gang took more than 900 horses and stopped at Shibalipu.

He saw the soldiers Yuan Lang stayed behind to meet them.Naturally knew what happened before.

"I said, why did they find so many new graves on Yelangpo? It turned out to be a good thing they did." Zhao Gang said angrily.

The second battalion commander didn't understand: "The political commissar, the head of the regiment, and Advisor Yuan won two beautiful victories, isn't it a good thing?"

The commander of the Sixth Battalion looked at Zhao Gang eagerly, obviously having the same question.

"It's a good thing to win a battle, but it's also a good time to score."

Zhao Gang explained angrily: "The first battalion is here to find out the route and terrain, not to fight.

They won the battle and patted their buttocks and left, but we still have to go from behind.

The Japanese army will definitely send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them. Do you think we will hit them head-on! "

"what?"

The Second Battalion Commander yelled out in surprise, he really hadn't thought about it.

There is a saying that the predecessors plant trees and the descendants enjoy the shade, but there is another saying that the predecessors dig holes and the descendants are unlucky.

They walked along the route opened by the first battalion, and the buckets of the first battalion must be the ones who came after them.

It would be a big loss to bump into the heavy soldiers of the Japanese army!
The commander of the Sixth Battalion suggested: "Political commissar, let's make a detour and stop following the regimental commander and the others."

Zhao Gang pondered for a moment and said: "There must be a detour. But there is one more thing right now, first wait for the three battalions to catch up, otherwise I don't feel at ease."

The two infantry battalions of the second battalion and the sixth battalion, as well as the regiment headquarters, machine gun company, air defense platoon, and other troops formed the second echelon, which was by Zhao Gang's side.

Behind them, three, four, five, three infantry battalions, separated from them for half a day.

Units are relatively spread out to increase concealment and move through enemy territory.The disadvantage is that it is limited by communication conditions and cannot achieve effective command.

Zhao Gang was afraid, and the three battalions ran head-on into the enemy's main force.

This is not a base area, there is no one to help them, and they are not familiar with the terrain, so they must suffer a lot.

The Second Battalion Commander nodded in recognition of Zhao Gang's concern, "Political Commissar, then send someone to notify them overnight. Tomorrow, I will take some brothers back to meet them."

"Tomorrow, I will go in person."

Zhao Gang felt that it would be safer to go by himself. After all, the second battalion commander was at the same level as the three battalion commanders, so he couldn't command effectively.

Early the next morning.

The third battalion commander and the others, who got the news overnight, immediately set off on their way to try to meet up earlier.

But as soon as he reached the vicinity of Wen County, the soldiers sent to investigate the situation came to report a bad news.

A large group of enemy troops stationed in Wen County were dispatched and headed in the direction they were going to go next.

"It really came true."

The commander of the third battalion couldn't help sighing, and also sincerely admired the wisdom of the political commissar.

When the enemy moved out, they must have rushed to chase the regiment leader and the others.But when they collide, that's a problem.

The third battalion commander asked again: "Have you seen clearly how many enemies there are?"

The reconnaissance soldier recalled: "Many, very many. Three people in a row, all stretched into a long dragon, mighty and mighty.

Roughly estimated, there are more than 800 little devils.There are more puppet troops at least a thousand or so, and they add up to two thousand four or five. "

The commander of the third battalion frowned, not to mention or puppet troops, even if there were puppet troops, he would have the confidence to lead the troops to defeat the opponent.

It is nothing more than that fewer prisoners will be caught, allowing the enemy to escape in large numbers.

What really makes people feel difficult is the Japanese army.

Little devils are not easy to mess with, their fighting will is no worse than theirs, and their literacy is very high.

Fighting head-on one-on-one, the commander of the third battalion is confident of defeating the same number of Japanese troops.

The number of enemies is twice as many as his, and it is the limit of their three battalions to be able to withstand the unbeaten without suffering a big loss.

Of course, there are four battalions and five battalions behind them. With the cooperation of brothers from the two battalions, it should be possible to defeat the Japanese army head-on.

It's just that if the time is delayed for too long, it will be very unfavorable for them who are alone.

The Japanese army only needs to hold on for a little longer, and there will be a steady stream of reinforcements coming.

At that point, they will be the ones to retreat.

The deputy battalion commander suggested: "Old Shen, if we can't, let's take a detour, bypass these enemies, and enter the mountain from other directions. Anyway, we have already reached the outer periphery, so we can enter the mountain from any direction!"

It is the best choice at this time to go directly into the mountain without contacting the enemy.

After entering the mountain, contact the political commissar and the group leader. Anyway, their goal is to bring the troops in.

For the task of fighting devils, for the Eighth Route Army who is very familiar with mountain warfare, they can use their skills better in the mountains.

The third battalion commander shook his head without hesitation: "No, the political commissars are waiting for us ahead, we can't ignore them."

The deputy battalion commander was still persuading: "Let's send someone to go around the front quickly and notify the political commissar to transfer them.

There is really no need to confront the devils head-on here. If the devils' reinforcements are recruited, we will suffer a lot. "

Behind the three infantry battalions, they also brought a large amount of food and supplies from the regiment's logistics department.

Once you need to retreat and transfer, it is a huge problem.

There is a shortage of food and ammunition in Zhongtiao Mountain, and there is an extreme shortage of supplies.It is extremely difficult for the troops to replenish supplies and ammunition there.

The deputy battalion commander was worried about this.

The commander of the third battalion made a decisive decision: "Leave all the excess supplies to the fifth battalion, so that they will not have to participate in the battle.

Inform the Fourth Battalion to follow up, we hang behind the Japanese army.Whether to fight or not depends on the situation. "

The fastest correspondent, remembering key information and decisions, immediately chased after the political commissar and the others.
