Chapter 492 - Shut the door and beat the dog

Thirteen devil soldiers began to appear outside the village of Henan Village, and one of the ghost soldiers at the head shone towards the village with a flashlight.

After noticing anything unusual, the four devil soldiers walked quickly towards the village with Type 38 rifles, and their movements were cautious.

"Hit!" The platoon commander began to give the order to shoot, and the shell gun in his hand also took the lead in shooting, and a bullet was fired, killing one of the ghost soldiers on the spot.

More than 30 soldiers began to shoot in a row, and as the gunshots rang out, bullets came towards the devil soldiers.

The four devil soldiers who entered the village were killed on the spot, but the devil soldiers behind them quickly hidden, and a crooked light machine gun was also set up.

"Retreat." The platoon commander gave the order again, and one of the fighters had just stood up and wanted to retreat, but a bullet pierced his heart accurately, and the fighter fell to the ground.

The Japanese seemed to sense that these soldiers wanted to evacuate, and the light machine guns continued to fire at each other, and bullets accurately hit the soldiers' hiding places.

The more than 30 fighters of the guerrilla detachment were pinned down, and they could not advance or retreat.

But at this moment, a bullet quickly attacked from behind, and this bullet hit the Japanese light machine gun shooter directly, and the Japanese shooter died on the spot.

With the light machine gun shooter killed, more than thirty fighters immediately withdrew from the battlefield.

"Platoon commander, who shot us and saved us, I see that the shooting distance is more than 200 meters, and the Japanese shooter was killed with one shot, which is really amazing."

"Does that need to be said? It must be the troops of the new Second Brigade, and only they will have such accurate marksmanship. ”

The platoon of the partisan detachment immediately withdrew, and when they came to safety, the two fighters spoke softly.

The platoon commander glanced in the direction of Henan Village, his heart was full of gratitude, he knew that if the shooter had not been killed, they would have been trapped by the Japanese army.

"Check the weapons and ammunition, change places and continue the ambush, this time you should be careful, don't be entangled by little devils." The platoon commander immediately gave the order.

The ambush in Henan Village was a very small ambush battle, the guerrilla detachment killed four devil soldiers, and they killed one soldier, but the casualty ratio between us and the enemy was four to one, and such a casualty ratio was not something that any army could do.

Guerrilla warfare can play a very big role in dealing with Japanese troops, and the 3,000-strong guerrilla detachment is attached to some units directly under the New Second Brigade, and they can completely contain the 117th Wing of the Japanese Army in Xiyang County, while the heavy artillery units set up by the Japanese army on Shijiashan have become completely ornaments and cannot play any role at all.

In Donghui Town, Pingding County, the 132nd Wing of the Japanese Army temporarily stopped its attack on Dazhai Nu Mountain and Woniu Mountain, and the wing headquarters of the 132nd Wing was set up in Mengjiazhang Village, which was 4,600 meters southeast of Donghui Town, and the 132nd Wing Commander was summoning three captains to discuss tomorrow's operation.

While the Japanese troops were resting and rediscussing the battle plan, the troops of the 2nd Battle Group quickly began to assemble in the area around Donghui Town.

The regimental headquarters of the 1st Pre-regiment was established in Donghui Town, Huang Gang's second battalion, two cavalry battalions of the mobile combat group, and an armored battalion were on standby in Donghui Town.

At this time, in the regimental headquarters of the 1st Pre-regiment in Donghui Town, Sun Weiguo, the commander of the New 2nd Brigade, Fu Tao, the commander of the 1st Pre-Regiment, the commander of the Yongxing Detachment, and Yin Jinshan, Ge Haifeng, and Chen Guitang of the Mobile Combat Group were all in the regiment headquarters, and they sat on chairs and discussed the siege plan against the Japanese army.

The second battle group of the 132nd Wing of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for encircling and annihilating Donghui Town, had more than 3,000 infantrymen, more than 1,000 cavalry, seven tanks, 10 armored vehicles, seven 82MM mortars, and eight Type 92 infantry guns, of which four mortars belonged to the mortar company directly under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Command, and four Type 92 infantry guns belonged to the first company of the artillery battalion of the 129th Division.

These eight artillery pieces are naturally nothing to Sun Weiguo, but in other units of the Eighth Route Army, these are all treasures.

Commander Nie and Division Commander Liu were able to send these artillery pieces over to strengthen Sun Weiguo's troops, which was the greatest concern for Sun Weiguo.

"This time we adopted the strategy of closing the door and fighting the dogs against the Japanese army, what is the strategy of closing the door and fighting the dogs, we first let a part of the Japanese troops enter the outskirts of Donghui Town, and then use Dazhai Annoying Mountain and Woniu Mountain to contain the main force of the Japanese army, and concentrate the main force of the second battle group to defeat the Japanese troops who entered the outskirts of Donghui Town."

"Of course, the little devils are not stupid, they don't do what we command, so you need to use your mind to attract them. Huang Gang's second battalion was responsible for luring the Japanese troops, trying to find a way to attract at least one brigade of Japanese troops into the outskirts of Donghui Town. ”

"We will first eat part of the Japanese army, and then carry out a surprise attack on the Japanese troops attacking Woniu Mountain, and after defeating them, we will besiege the Japanese troops attacking Dazhai Fushan, as long as the operation goes well, we can eat two Japanese infantry brigades, and the remaining one infantry brigade, naturally there is no need to worry."

Sun Weiguo directly stated his idea, and he accurately mastered the conventional tactics of the Japanese army.

When the Japanese troops encounter an insurmountable position, they will concentrate artillery and aircraft on bombardment, and at the same time send a strong force to make a detour.

For the 132nd Wing of the Japanese Army, their battle plan this time was not to conquer Dazhai Nu Mountain and Woniu Mountain, they could attack from the middle of these two mountains and directly capture Donghui Town, and then they could join forces with the First Brigade in Baijing Town.

Sun Weiguo's tactics of closing the door and beating dogs can be said to be a tactic aimed at the Japanese army, at this time in the 132nd Wing Headquarters of the Japanese Army in Mengjiazhang Village, Wing Commander Eki Meiyi has begun to formulate a new battle plan with the three captains.

"Sun Weiguo's new 2nd Brigade troops are good at defense, and now they rely on dangerous ground to hold on, if we continue to storm Dazhai Nuying Mountain and Woniu Mountain, the troops will definitely pay heavy casualties, even if we conquer these two mountains, it is meaningless, so tomorrow we will use secondary troops to contain the Zhina troops on the mountain, and attack Donghui Town with the main force."

"The Chinese troops do not have heavy artillery, even if they capture these two mountains, they will not pose any threat to our troops, tomorrow the third brigade will quickly conquer Donghui Town in the artillery of the wing, and the infantry artillery squadron directly under the second brigade will contain Woniu Mountain and Dazhai Nuying Mountain respectively, and the first brigade will serve as a reserve."

Ebichi immediately began to give orders, and the expression on his face could be described as very serious.
