The commander of the 40th Division of the Little Devil, Matsui Shichio, is a rare high-achieving student among the commanders of the military division, and he also studied in Germany.

Matsui Qifu's heart was blocked with a vicious aura, very uncomfortable, and he was silent for a long time.

The commander of the 51st Division, Ichiro Kuroda, with a black face, suddenly stopped after walking a few laps in the command headquarters and began to ask Matsui Shichio's opinion, "Matsui-kun, the artillery fire of the [***] team is too fierce, and our artillery wing does not dare to fire at all!" ”

"Matsui-kun, do you have any good way, if we can defeat the heavy artillery group of the [***] team, we will fight a lot, and if the [***] team wants to capture our defense line, it is not so easy."

Now, there are more than 30,000 little devils in Baoding, so the little devils still think that they can support themselves for a while.

Yesterday, the commander of the North China Front, Nishio Shouzo, had already hinted that Matsui Shichio and Kuroda Ichiro would send at least one more division to reinforce Baoding within two days, because the division that had boarded from the mainland of Japan was about to arrive at the port of Tianjin.

Matsui Shichio, who was silent, slowly stood up, walked to the side of the map, and looked carefully at this military map of Baoding, as if he wanted to see flowers from the map.

After a long time, Matsui Shichio finally spoke, "Heitianjun, there is nothing left now, the only way is to send a few troops to quietly bypass the positions of the 36th Group Army, insert them behind the positions of the 36th Group Army, and destroy these heavy artillery positions. ”

The location of the artillery positions of the 1st column is basically clear to the little devils, and after an hour of heavy shelling, the little devils can completely determine the location of these artillery positions.

For the little devils, the difficult thing is how to prevent the 1st column from discovering it, quietly reach these artillery positions, and destroy these artillery positions.

Hearing this, Kuroda Ichiro also frowned, feeling that this is also a certain degree of difficulty, but if you can destroy the artillery positions of these [***] teams, it is still worth taking a risk.

So, Matsui Shichio and Kuroda Ichiro plotted for a long time, and then the little devils sent three troops, intending to attack the three artillery positions of the 1st Column respectively.

Each unit is the size of an infantry brigade, and the leader is either Zhongzuo or Dazuo, so it can be seen that the little devil has made a bloody effort this time in order to destroy the artillery position of the 1st column.

In order to cooperate with these troops to bypass the encirclement of the 1st Column, many little devils also launched harassment tactics and launched an active attack on the units of the 1st Column that were resting.

The purpose of the little devils was to attract the attention of the soldiers in order to cover the little devil troops, and the little devils paid thousands of casualties before successfully covering these troops to bypass the huge encirclement formed by the 1st Column and the Eighth Route Army.

The two division commanders of the little devils were reported that these three troops had successfully bypassed the defense line of the squadron [***], and now they were heading straight for the artillery position of the 36th Group, and the face of the commander of the little devil division was only a little better.

As for the little devils who took the initiative to attack just now, killing and wounding thousands of people, the two little devil divisions didn't pay attention to it at all.

On the huge position of the heavy artillery brigade of the 1st column, dozens of 155-mm howitzers were divided into neat rows, and the huge muzzles pointed obliquely into the distance, looking mighty.

In the distance, dozens of tractor trucks were also lined up in neat rows on the flat ground, and on the position, many soldiers had just finished lunch and were resting.

The hour-long shelling just now, the soldiers were quite tired, and the hour-long shelling was a difficult physical work, and each 155-millimeter shell weighed dozens of kilograms.

Because they were too tired, many of the soldiers were resting, and in the shade, under the shadow of the cannons, the soldiers were either sitting, chatting, or lying down, squinting for a while.

Only the soldiers of the guard battalion are still on guard from a distance, and many of the soldiers of the guard battalion are holding AK-47 assault rifles and patrolling from a distance.

On several cars, there were also soldiers from the guard battalion, and on some cars, the soldiers of the guard battalion also set up machine guns, and the squad machine guns produced in the Datong base area, and the soldiers of the guard battalion of the heavy artillery brigade were also equipped with some.

The heavy artillery brigade is surrounded by endless plains, and in summer, the plains are full of life, and all kinds of crops are growing well, but this just provides cover for the little devils.

At this time, there was a group of little devils, about a thousand people, under the leadership of a little devil Dazuo, who was slowly approaching the position of the heavy artillery brigade under the cover of these green gauze tents.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the guard battalion of the heavy artillery brigade are very experienced, and in order to prevent the sneak attack of the little devils, the forward observation post of the guard brigade is thousands of kilometers away from the edge of the position of the heavy artillery brigade.

A guard battalion sentry, three guards battalion soldiers are lying motionless in a cornfield, the hot weather, sweat almost soaked the soldiers' camouflage uniforms, but these fighters are still very focused.

Not far from this outpost, less than fifty meters away, there was also an infantry squad of soldiers patrolling back and forth. In order to ensure the safety of the positions of the heavy artillery brigades, the guard battalion set up a number of cordons on the periphery of the positions.

But the little devils definitely didn't think about it, the artillery positions of the 1st column would be so heavily guarded, and the cordon was set so far that it was beyond the effective range of small-caliber artillery.

The training manual compiled by Zhang Yunfei not only described in detail the training of infantry, but also involved in artillery, armored troops, and other arms.

With such layers of defense, the combination of open and dark sentinels, it is basically difficult to succeed in a sneak attack.

Less than a kilometer away from the outermost guard post of the guard battalion, thousands of little devils, in a scattered formation, were bent on their waists, carefully advancing in the green gauze tent.

The little devil Dazuo who led the team was holding a telescope and kept looking ahead, and the little devils had already discovered that two or three kilometers ahead was a large artillery position.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to this position, and if he advanced more than a thousand meters further, he could use the mortars he carried to sneak attack, and this time, the little devil carried several 60mm mortars and a lot of shells.

The little devils wanted to hit the artillery positions of the 1st column with mortars, in order to detonate the mountains of shells on the artillery positions of the 1st column.

If this trick doesn't work, the little devil is still ready to attack, and the three teams sent by the little devil are all the size of a field infantry brigade, and the little devil thinks that it is fully capable of a strong attack.

Now, seeing that the artillery position is getting closer and closer, and the soldiers of the 1st column have not yet found themselves, many little devils are in a burst of ecstasy in their hearts, and the little devil Dazuo who led the team is also happy, and secretly shouted in his heart, "Yo Xi!" ”

The little devil Dazuo put down the binoculars, waved his hand, and signaled the little devils to speed up their travel, the sooner they reach the designated position, the better, the longer they stay here, the more unsafe they are.

Here is the rear of the 1st column, and the little devils know that they are completely alone, and as long as they are discovered, they will be at least half defeated, unless, when they are discovered, they have already reached the designated position, only a few hundred meters away from the artillery position.

The distance is only a few hundred meters, and the little devils can either use mortars to detonate the shells on the positions of the heavy artillery brigades, or they can launch a strong attack, but the little devils do not believe that they have an infantry brigade that cannot capture this artillery position.

Receiving the signal of the little devil Dazuo, the little devils held their guns, risked their waists, accelerated their march, and used the cover of cornfields, sorghum fields and other crops to move forward quickly.

The team of the little devils is getting closer and closer to the outermost defense line of the guard battalion of the heavy artillery brigade, although the little devils are very careful, but there are thousands of people, and the sound they make is still not small, at least one or two hundred meters away, they can still be heard.

At a secret post in the guard battalion, three soldiers were lurking in the cornfield, and at this time, they heard a sound of scolding in front of them, as if there were many people advancing in the cornfield.

These fighters, looking at each other, all comprehended, tightly grasped the AK-47 assault rifle in their hands, not far from these three fighters, there happened to be a group of fighters, a soldier of an infantry squad, who happened to be patrolling, and also heard an unusual sound.

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen soldiers immediately dispersed to meet the enemy in concealment, and when he heard such a sound at this time, it must be a little devil who came to sneak attack.

Everyone had just hidden, the sound was getting louder and louder, and it didn't take long for the soldiers to see the figure vaguely appearing in front of them, although there was a lush cornfield blocking it, but the yellow military uniform of the little devil was more conspicuous.

"Not good! It's really a little devil. ”

The soldiers secretly screamed in their hearts, and they were still so many little devils, and there were only a dozen fighters here, but thinking about the artillery positions behind, all the fighters had firmness on their faces.

"Hit!"

With a shout, the AK-47 assault rifles in the hands of all the fighters fired fiercely at the little devil, even the three secret sentinel fighters, shooting at the little devil.

In this case, the soldiers had no choice but to regard death as home, hoping to pull a few little devils on their backs before the sacrifice, hoping to warn the rest of the soldiers, especially the large troops of the guard battalion.

The little devils never imagined that in this cornfield, thousands of meters away from the artillery position in the distance, there would be an ambush of the soldiers of the 36th Group Army.

The little devils were completely defenseless, and they were killed by fierce fire twenty or thirty people at once, and the soldiers almost finished half of the magazine before the little devils reacted.
