At the head of Laiyuan City, Dazuo witnessed the process of reinforcements being repulsed.

The speed was too fast, and before he could react, the reinforcements were defeated.

Heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and heavy artillery work so well with each other that they can be called seamless.

Although these were all made by the opponent, and they also caused heavy casualties to their subordinates, and finally returned defeated, Dazuo still felt a sigh of emotion in his heart.

"Sir, the reinforcements have been defeated, and I suggest that I send a telegram to Nakamura Shozo immediately, and let them find favorable terrain nearby to stay for the night." Shao Zuo, who has always opposed sending troops, reminded.

"After dawn, in order not to be bombed by planes, the Eighth Route Army guarding the mountain pass will definitely retreat by itself, and then they can return to Huilaiyuan under the cover of planes."

Osa didn't answer right away.

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally he shook his head and refused: "The receiving troops must not be stationed outside the city. ”

"The garrison regiment has artillery, and there is also heavy artillery."

"Once the receiving troops stop, they will be used as a live target for the artillery of the garrison regiment, and even if they are not completely annihilated, they will be blown off a layer of skin and suffer heavy casualties."

"What then?" Shao Zuo couldn't think of any other way, so he asked rhetorically with a frown.

"Let the receiving troops move and be in motion all the time, and the artillery of the garrison regiment will lose its effectiveness because they cannot lock on to the firing target, and the firepower advantage will be gone, and we can only rely on the infantry to follow us."

"Even if there are casualties among the troops, it won't be too big."

The mountain pass blocked the position, and the reconnaissance platoon commander gasped and rushed up to report: "Regiment commander, the Japanese puppet army has retreated, but it did not look for favorable terrain to set up camp, but returned the same way. ”

Zhao Wen thought for a moment and reacted: "Our opponent is very smart and knows that the camp is to be a live target for the artillery, so he will return the same way, so that the troops are always in motion, and we can't attack them with artillery." ”

"However, the head of the regiment has already thought of this result for us."

"Order: The second company and the third company will immediately catch up, and one left and one right will sneak attack the Japanese puppet army."

"Tell the two company commanders to use all the tricks they can use, seize the opportunity, kill more devils, and then kill the puppet army."

"Three companies, flying thunder artillery troops, reconnaissance platoons follow me."

"Although the Japanese puppet army has been in motion and the purpose is unknown, in order to reduce the probability of being attacked by us and reduce casualties, they will definitely pick a big road, so we still have a chance to ambush them."

On the highway, listening to the constant gunshots on both sides of the team, Nakamura Shaoza's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

A lieutenant suddenly chased after him and reported with a heartache: "Sir, the sneak attacks of the Eighth Route Army are too frequent, and they are elusive, and they will shoot at us when they find an opportunity." In less than two hours, more than half of the infantry squad led by the inferior led by the inferior had suffered more than half of the casualties, and the soldiers of the search party on the right flank had almost changed all the time. ”

"Da da da ......" A string of heavy machine gun fire suddenly rang out, interrupting the lieutenant's unfinished words.

This time the gunfire lasted longer than before, stopping after three minutes.

As soon as a hint of bad premonition flashed in Shaozo's mind, a second lieutenant rushed over.

After seeing Nakamura, he gasped and reported that he was very anxious.

"Sir, something has happened to the search party on the left flank."

"An Eighth Route Army launched a surprise attack on the left flank search team under the cover of heavy machine guns, and all the Imperial troops of one combat detachment were killed, seven or eight Imperial Allied troops of one platoon were killed, and all the rest were captured and taken away by the Eighth Route Army."

Shao Zuo's anger surged up suddenly, and he scolded with a calm face: "Eight Grid Yalu, are the guns in their hands ornaments?" Why not fight back, hold them back. ”

"There are also nearby troops, why don't you reinforce and kill the assault troops of the Eighth Route Army."

The second lieutenant hurriedly explained: "The commander is angry, the search team is only equipped with one light machine gun, and the Eighth Route Army that assaulted them is equipped with two heavy machine guns and four or five light machine guns. ”

"A heavy machine gun and half a light machine gun suppress the attacking search team, and a heavy machine gun and the remaining light machine guns suppress and intercept the nearby Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army, preventing them from reinforcing the battlefield."

"By the time the nearest heavy machine gun detachment arrived on the battlefield, the battle was over, and the Eighth Route Army retreated with the prisoners."

Shao Zuo was about to continue scolding, but after hearing this, he swallowed back the words that had already come to his mouth.

The receiving unit, which was originally armed with four heavy machine guns, was attacked by four mortars during the assault on the mountain pass, and although the transfer was timely, two of them were still damaged.

At present, there are still nearly 1,000 troops in the receiving troops, escort troops, and baggage troops, and there are only two heavy machine guns.

Although the imperial army under his command is very powerful, it is flesh and blood after all, and there is no equivalent heavy weapons to provide fire cover, so it can only be beaten passively.

"Sir, our forces are too scattered." The captain next to him analyzed.

"Heavy weapons are insufficient, if the troops are too scattered, the firepower will also be scattered, especially the search team on both wings, the farthest soldier is nearly 300 meters away from the road, and only one light machine gun provides fire cover, which is too easy to be drilled by the Eighth Route Army."

"I suggest that the troops march in groups and not search the flanks of the road."

Nakamura asked with a calm face, "What is your reason?" ”

"Now that we have more troops, and we are guarding around the baggage team, even if we give up the search and let the Eighth Route Army hide on both sides of the road to sneak attack us at close range, we will not be able to shoot the mules and horses of the baggage team transporting ammunition, so I think it is no longer meaningful to search the two flanks of the road." The lieutenant thought for a moment and replied.

"If we don't search, the Eighth Route Army will also attack us. Searching, the Eighth Route Army still attacked us. ”

"If the search is abandoned, not only will it not increase the casualties of the troops, but it will also reduce the casualties."

"Because after the concentration of troops, the firepower is also relatively concentrated, and we are not in a hurry to hurry, we can make a short stop on the road and deter the Eighth Route Army that sneaks up on us through firepower counterattacks, so that they will not dare to attack us as unscrupulously as before."

Nakamura's solemn expression slowly soothed, and he looked at the captain and agreed, "You're right. ”

"Search, the Eighth Route Army attacked the search team, their firepower was weak, their forces were scattered, they were simply fat meat sent to the mouth of the Eighth Route Army, and the losses would definitely be large."

"Don't search. We will become a hedgehog covered in thorns, and the Eighth Route Army that sneaks up on us will be stabbed if we are not careful, and after suffering a few losses, they will definitely not dare to attack us as unscrupulously as before. ”

"Order the search party to withdraw immediately, and the troops will huddle together and continue the march."

Two kilometers ahead of the road, dozens of flying thunder cannon gunners were camouflaging flying thunder cannons.

Zhao Wen stood on a high ground next to him, looking at the end of the road from afar.

There is no fork in the road from the current position of the Japanese army to here, and the Japanese puppet army will either return the same way or drill into the pocket formation he has prepared, and he can only wait for the specific result.

"Battalion commander, the eight flying thunder cannons are all hidden, even if the little devil search team passes by, they can't find it." The commander of the fourth company came over and reported.

"Is the extra explosives planted?" Zhao Wen asked.

"A total of 40 explosive packets, all buried next to the road, 10 meters each, as long as half of the explosives package is detonated, the Japanese puppet army and mules and horses on this section of the road will be blown up, and the ammunition will be completely destroyed."

Zhao Wen nodded: "Now I'll wait for the Japanese puppet army to come." 2k reading network
