In the next week, the Japanese army dispatched a total of six attack troops with a size of about 2 infantry squads.

Because the Yellow River bank is long enough, no matter how many defenders are, they cannot cover hundreds of kilometers of river banks. They can only send heavy troops to deploy defenses in some places where it is easy to cross the river on a large scale.

For the Japanese army, the Chinese army on the other side of the Yellow River had more than 100,000 troops. Not to mention smuggling an infantry brigade, an infantry gang or an infantry brigade. Without subsequent troops following, it was also a tactic of killing dogs and giving away people for free.

Therefore, it is the right way to capture an effective ferry crossing on the other side and then continuously send troops.

But Fujita Jin has been taught a lesson by Tang Dao these days, and he actually learned a truth from it. If you can harass me, can't I come to harass you? Is my great Japanese Imperial Army not as good as you weak Chinese troops?

‘Treat the person’s body by his own way’, the cunning Fujita Jin, based on the six infantry brigades under his command, drew 12 elite infantry squads to form a special attack team, searching for gaps on the long river bank line, and crossing the Yellow River!

The reason why there are only 6 infantry brigades is that the Sixth Infantry Regiment, which only has hundreds of remaining, has basically completely lost its combat effectiveness. The 3rd Division, which was originally strong and powerful, now has only 2 infantry brigades and an infantry brigade directly under the division headquarters, with less than 7,000 soldiers available.

Moreover, the tasks received by these Japanese troops lurking across the river in batches were different. Some were sneaking towards the Chinese heavy artillery positions based on intelligence, while others were exercising the functions of destruction and harassment!

It is easy to say that the target is aimed at the heavy artillery position, which is an attempt to blow up the heavy artillery that is extremely important to the Japanese army, just like the guard platoon led by Tang Dao.

For the past week, four heavy artillery fired every day, making the Japanese army feel like they were stuck in their throats!

Although China only had four heavy artillery shots and were also 150MM, the Japanese army realized that they had been deceived by the Germanic blond and blue-eyed Russians.

The Japanese 150MM heavy artillery actually used technology from the German Empire, but the range was only 11 kilometers. However, the range of the SFH18 150mm howitzer imported from Krupp was as high as 13 kilometers.

Don’t underestimate the range of these 2 kilometers. This means that Chinese heavy artillery can fully attack Japanese heavy artillery positions outside the range of Japanese artillery!

As for the 280MM howitzer that still exists, it has never dared to fire at all this week. This thing is heavy shells and has strong firepower, but its cannon body is too heavy and can only be used as a turret.

Moreover, the range is closer than the 150MM howitzer. When one shot is shot, the smoke rising up is as strong as if he was shot. The weather was extremely sunny and had a very good vision that week. If the Chinese artillery observer saw the specific location, the turret would not be able to run.

Therefore, after the two sides' artillery battle this week, China's only four heavy artillery pieces miraculously suppressed the 8 150 heavy artillery pieces that the Japanese army still owned. To be more precise, in the end, only 7 left of the Japanese army, one heavy artillery was shot during the artillery battle between the two sides because a shell exploded 40 meters away, so it could only be towed back to Pingbei City for maintenance.

The Japanese army also tried every means to attack the four heavy artillery pieces of China. In addition to using heavy artillery groups to aim at the area mentioned in the information, they also used bombers to launch more than 30 bombs.

Unfortunately, China has already made sufficient precautions for this. The heavy artillery position not only has enough camouflage, but also has a strong bunker. It is a cave more than 20 meters deep dug in the mountain by blasting. When it is necessary to fire a cannon and fight back, it is pulled out of the hole with a tractor. Once the air defense alarm sounds, it will be pulled back. The whole process will never exceed 3 minutes.

Not to mention that the artillery shells cannot be bombarded, even the 500-pound aircraft bomb dropped by Japanese planes can do nothing about it!

Moreover, the dozen or so 20mm machine guns deployed around the heavy artillery position are not vegetarians. They rely on the strong shelter in the mountain to form cross-fire power in the air. Japanese aircraft did not dare to drop to a height of 2,000 meters. The bomb dropped, which caused a lot of damage to the flowers and plants.

If there are no airplanes and cannons, then use people. At least three task forces will touch the position quietly.

Little did they know that after the Japanese learned this trick, Master Dong also learned the lesson of the Japanese being attacked by Tang Dao's troops.

A more than 500 infantry battalion formed by veterans and guard battalions protected the mountain area strictly. They took turns to rest every night. Half of them were waiting for battle in the first half of the night, and the other half was replaced.

Moreover, bonfires will be lit in accordance with military orders 30 meters in front of each trench, not for heating, but for lighting, and there is no chance for the Japanese to approach the trench in the dark.

There is nothing missing in the mountains beside Tongguan, and the most undesirable ones are wood and stone!

As for the locations that were not covered by trenches and posts, Commander Dong spent a lot of money and buried nearly 1,000 anti-infantry thunders, accounting for almost two-thirds of the storage capacity of the anti-infantry thunders carried by the entire 28th Division.

These elite infantry squads sent by Fujita Jin are good at the front battlefield and have the experience of roundabout attacks, but they still lack the experience of so-called "special combat".

Special operations itself is a tactic born in war. Its essence is to lurk in a few elite soldiers into the enemy's defense zone to harass, destroy and guide their own artillery fire and bombing. These soldiers need to undergo strict and systematic training, not only to be proficient in various techniques and tactics, but also to understand astronomy and geography.

No one like the Japanese army, hundreds of people sneaked into the mountains in the darkness of the night. Seeing that there were trenches, the lights were bright and they couldn't get through, so they crawled into the dark mountains.

Alright! Just lie on the mine.

What's even more terrible is that these Japanese soldiers are really stubborn. When their companions who were unfortunately on the mine were blown away, their whereabouts were exposed, the most important thing they should do was to run away no matter the moment they ran away, and even started a strong attack.

How can the Chinese soldiers who are already on high alert?

We can't beat you in the field war. That's because you have cannons and planes, so we can only hide in the trenches and get bombed. But now, you are the ones with light weapons, the most powerful firepower is light machine guns and grenade launchers. How dare you show off to me?

The Lieutenant Colonel infantry battalion commander, who is responsible for the protection of heavy artillery positions, is the guard battalion commander of Master Dong. If he is sent to the front line, he will be the commander of the infantry regiment. He has rich and decisive combat experience. Except for leaving an infantry company to continue to strengthen defense to avoid the Chinese and Japanese army's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, the remaining two infantry companies will shoot against the Japanese army with two infantry platoons, and the remaining four infantry platoons will be surrounded from both wings, and use the Japanese tactics to directly counter the bold Japanese army!

Compared with nearly 4 to 1, the infantry battalion also had the assistance of heavy machine guns and mortars, and the firepower completely defeated the Japanese army. Although it took nearly 3 hours, it also wiped out the first wave of attacks before dawn.

The deepest impression this wave of Japanese troops left on Chinese soldiers is probably nothing else except for the stubborn and stubbornness that he would rather die than surrender.

Such similar attacks were as high as 3 times a week, and the process and results were almost the same!

Wouldn't that be a complete victory? After the first attack, Master Dong, who came to the heavy artillery position to inspect in person, felt that the protective power was not enough. Not only did he draw the veterans again to supplement the infantry battalion's troops, he also sent an additional firepower company to them.

Not to mention the increase of 6 heavy machine guns, there are 4 mortars, which leads to the use of heavy firepower of the infantry battalion reaching 12 heavy machine guns and 6 mortars, almost catching up with the heavy firepower of the previous Sichuan military advisor.

The reason why the Japanese army made the same mistakes continuously was not much related to the IQ of the Japanese commander, but was closely related to communication.

The Japanese military communications are actually better than China. Communications between departments below the brigade level are basically the conditions for communications to rely on traffic.

Such a 100-man team-level unit is qualified to take a field radio station, and only a few signal flares will be used to tell the other side of the river that my buddy is finished, and if you want to do it, send someone again!

If one team doesn’t work, then send another team, maybe which team will succeed! The gradually rising Fujita Jin is not only cruel to the Chinese, but also not much better to his own people. Then it’s just a wave after wave of sending him off!

This made the infantry battalion feel a little embarrassed. It was too easy to get military merits. Can you increase the density to once a day, Japanese?

The heavy firepower of the infantry battalion in the heavy artillery position was naturally contributed by the Tang regiment. The returned Tang regiment was very trustworthy. Before the defensive battle was completed, they directly sent 30 heavy machine guns and 150,000 bullets to the 28th Division from the Sichuan Army's new recruits, and also sent 8 additional mortars.

At that time, the commander Hu had to pull Tang Dao to burn yellow paper and worship the handle on the spot. That is, Tang Dao was rational enough to know that this person was too deeply involved with him, which would definitely be harmful to his future.

The commander in the Tenth War Zone is different from Commander Xue. He is the direct descendant of the Ministry of Military Affairs and will never tolerate his subordinates being a brother of the Tang Dao, who is obviously different from a leader.

After all, Brigade Commander Hu is not a general of a military like Guo, Zhang and Wu. They all represent one faction. Even if the person is dissatisfied, he dare not easily replace him for this reason when using people in this wartime.

"We are close friends in the army, so we need to do those old things and don't mess around!" Dong Zhao was more aware of the way of being an official, and he took the initiative to eliminate this big hidden danger without waiting for Tang Dao to speak.

If you don’t get a favor, the northwest man like the Brigade Commander Hu, who was straightforward, was in return for Tang Dao, but he suggested that the security of the entire Tongguan traffic line be handed over to the Sichuan Army’s new recruits regiment.

This naturally prevents the Sichuan Army's new recruits from suffering losses in the next wave of landing war in the Japanese army. Now the troops in Tongguan have been newly replenished. Nearly 4,000 people from two supplementary regiments pieced together by security groups from various places have arrived two days ago.

However, for some unknown reason, Tang Dao and the Sichuan Army's new recruits did not receive any military orders to evacuate the Tongguan Defense Zone.

Tang Dao was willing to accept this thank-you gift. He could use this time to train the new recruits again. The actual battlefield is the best training ground for the new recruits.

Then, Tang Dao really waited for the attack from the Japanese army, "Dan Dao in front of Guan Gong".

Unlike the Japanese army that sneaked into attacking heavy artillery positions, there are also several Japanese troops who quietly cross the river to harass the military orders, which are actually ambushing the traffic lines or indiscriminately massacred the Chinese villages along the river to hit the morale of the Chinese military and civilians.

The first Japanese task force crossing the river was considered successful in the first wave of attacks. A bloody case was created in a small village 23 kilometers away from Tongguan County. More than 60 villagers were all massacred. When an infantry company of local garrisons more than 5 kilometers away from the village arrived, the men, women, young and old in the village had basically fallen into a pool of blood, and even cattle and sheep were not spared.

The infantry company, full of grief and anger, had not buried the whole village's old and young, but was attacked by the Japanese army who returned. More than 50 people were killed on the spot and more than 40 were injured. It was not because of signal flares asking for help, another infantry company stationed in the area came to the rescue at full speed. If it was not done, the final encounter of this infantry company with only 120 people was similar to that of the villagers.

When Tang Dao, who was responsible for maintaining the traffic line, led an infantry company to the village, it was already morning. The corpses of the slaughtered villagers and the soldiers who were killed in the attack were not yet buried. Dozens of soldiers were digging a huge tomb and preparing to bury them all on the flat ground at the entrance of the village.

"Tang Dao, the leader of the Fourth Army Corps of the Second War Zone of China, swears with military honor that all Japanese invaders who set foot in this village and this village will pile them into Jingguan to be the tombstones of the elders and brothers! Those who break this tombstone are all the enemies of my Tang Dao's life and death!" Tang Dao stood in front of more than a hundred corpses, saluted and turned around and left.

The strong murderous aura made all the soldiers present frightened!

The Sichuan Army New Corps launched a comprehensive operation during this day. On the critical 20-kilometer traffic line behind Tongguan, a total of 10 infantry companies and 5 baggage and artillery companies were deployed with guns. Each company was responsible for 1.5 kilometers of road sections.

The Sichuan army was not afraid of being spying on by the lurking Japanese army. They crazily dug various bunkers and trenches during the day. The trenches dug by this simple transportation line alone were as high as dozens of kilometers.

Tang Dao’s move is called a human-sea tactic. There are nothing else, there are a lot of people, and more than 2,000 people are ranked. If you have the ability, you can fight.

An infantry company is equipped with 2 heavy machine guns and 9 light machine guns. If the firepower is still not enough, then several nearby infantry companies will be launched together. If they cannot even enough, then more infantry companies will be added together.

As the highest commander of the defense line of transportation, Lu Sanjiang still has these ability to respond on the spot.

The other 13 pure infantry companies were all scattered by Tang swords. Instead of searching for Japanese troops in the mountains, they used infantry companies as units to change into local villagers' clothes and entered 10 villages along the river.

Tang Dao knew that the Japanese army, who could not find fighter jets on the other side of the traffic line, would definitely target those villages again.

It's like a dog who tastes the delicious taste of meat bones will never think the shit is delicious, it will also desire another meat bone.

Although the method of waiting for the rabbit seems stupid, every village where the infantry entered actually analyzed the Tang Dao through its terrain and population and simulated the psychology of the Japanese army.

The first wave of the Japanese army only gained less than a hundred villagers' lives. After tasting the sweetness, they will definitely place their targets in larger villages, and even look forward to a greater ambush on the Chinese army that rushed to the scene.

So, a group of little rabbits caught off guard and crashed into a village with a population of 120 people.

However, this time, unlike what they imagined, the village was no longer just ordinary Chinese villagers who could be allowed to slaughter them, but a group of Chinese soldiers who were fully armed with temporary fortifications.

Although their shooting level was average, many people even dared not show their heads, and they only dared to hide behind the cover and shoot at Xia Jiba in front of them, but they were 150 prepared Chinese soldiers after all, and the Japanese army who knew they had the trap could only evacuate while fighting.

But it is so easy to get out of the battle in a short time, not to mention that the terrain here is so familiar to the Japanese army. Although the local people who were captured as guides did whatever they wanted to do, did the Japanese army really dare to believe it?

The Japanese Army Lieutenant led the team is more willing to believe in the map in his hands.

Little did they know that the Tang regiment had already run here with two infantry companies under the guidance of the signal flares several miles away.

The effect of weight-bearing training on the thousand-mile journey out of Sichuan was fully demonstrated at this moment. An hour later, this wave of Japanese task force with more than 80 troops was surrounded by more than 300 infantry led by Tang Dao on a small hill.

Tang Dao was not in a hurry to surround and kill the Japanese. Instead, he waited until dawn and transferred three artillery squads and four heavy machine gun squads, and was furious to ask Commander Dong, who had owe others, for a wave of heavy artillery support.

Even if only eight shells were shot, the 80 Japanese soldiers who had spent the middle of the night finally excavated the individual bunkers to death.

The Japanese army was very good at civil fortifications, and in front of heavy artillery, nothing was there!

Then, the remaining more than 30 Japanese troops were facing six heavy machine guns, three mortars and nine infantry platoons in turn.

The battle lasted for 40 minutes, and the recruits ended the battle with a huge gap in strength with absolute advantage in firepower and troops!

They saw the blood of the Japanese army with their own eyes for the first time and also faced their own death for the first time.

The new recruits who annihilated these more than 30 Japanese troops and had enough heavy machine guns and mortar fire to cover still paid the price of 15 deaths and more than 20 injuries.

But Tang Dao still thinks it is worth it. If you don’t experience these things now, one-fifth of the new recruits can survive in the more terrifying battlefield in the future is a gift from God.

Of course, for Tang Dao, what is more important is that the "tombstone" he promised finally has excellent materials.

The dozen Japanese soldiers who died and were secretly buried by the Japanese army during the battle with Chinese soldiers the night before died early, but were much happier than their colleagues who died one day later.

As for battles similar to this, the recruits encountered as many as three times this week.

Two times they were killed by waiting for the rabbit to kill the stupid rabbit, and once, the Japanese army tried to attack a camel horse team that transported military rations without knowing their lives.

The four infantry companies fought and beat the Japanese task force with hundreds of troops, and the hundreds of corpses were lying in a row, making it easy for the reporters who arrived at the 10th War Zone of the 28th Division to take photos.
