The roundabout infantry squad that Songbei Youji had high hopes did arrive at the flank of the 3rd squad's position on time and on time.

Unfortunately, they fell into the minefield again.

Although the landmines here are not as dense as burials, there are less than 40, when the Japanese army attempted to evacuate from the minefield, another Japanese army was killed. The nearly 50 infantry team was really confused when they stayed in the minefield.

How could you do such a thing? You bury the road to prevent us, but you bury precious landmines all over the mountains. Is it for Mao?

It’s not that the Japanese don’t understand, but that the world is changing rapidly. As soldiers of the 10th Division who have fought with the Chinese army for more than a year, the Chinese army they see are all characterized by ‘poverty’. It is normal to have no artillery or shells. Even heavy machine gun bullets have to be used for saving. Unlike here, it feels like the mountains are full of mines.

The so-called advance and retreat are about these more than 40 Japanese soldiers!

After receiving the report from the Shuigu Squadron, Songbei Yuki almost spit out an old blood. He had already asked for help from the corps headquarters in the county, hoping to send a metal detector over, but then the Chinese had long known where to escape.

Captain Yuki Songbei is probably still dreaming of having the advantageous troops to kill his opponent and destroy the mountain village.

He might not have thought that two Japanese troops who set out from the county town, with two tricycles and one truck carrying four metal detectors, were ambushed 3,000 meters away from Panzhai.

They will never reach Panzhai.

After receiving the "beacon fire" in Panzhai's direction, Wei Donglai, the highest commander of the Four Regiment in Guangping County, issued a military order to block the dirt road to Panzhai.

An infantry squad and an infantry platoon of the Eighty Army buried electronic ignition explosive packs on the side of the dirt road. The power of roadside bombs can blow up all American cowboy armored vehicles on the desert battlefield in the future, let alone a simple small truck like the Japanese army.

No mine clearance tools were just secondary. At the moment when Yuki Songbei launched two consecutive attacks and finally returned in vain, a warning soldier located behind him came from a surprise and joyful news.

There seemed to be a lot of gray military uniforms in the mountains and forests behind, which meant that reinforcements from Chinese people arrived.

What shocked Songbei Youji was that he didn't know how many Chinese people had come, but he was happy that the Chinese were overestimating their abilities and dared to siege themselves.

Although more than 50 people have been killed in battle, more than 100 injuries, and nearly one infantry squadron has been reduced, he still has more than 200 infantry and two infantry artillery, which is not something a group of "Tu Eight" can bully.

What's more, Guangping County is not the only one of him, the hundreds of imperial troops. As the deputy captain of the First Infantry Brigade of the 63rd Infantry Regiment, Yuki Songbei knew that this military operation to sweep southern Hebei was initiated by the commander of the front army himself.

To this end, the division that returned to Pingbei City from the front line to rest and rest sent three infantry corpses to Handan City. If the original garrisons in Handan and Xingtai were added, the imperial side had 5 infantry corpses with only infantry. If the auxiliary troops such as baggage, artillery, engineers and other auxiliary troops and the security forces of the three regiments, the empire's troops in southern Hebei were actually as high as 30,000.

For example, in Guangping County, there are 63 infantry corps, 2 infantry brigades and a security barracks stationed, with more than 3,000 troops.

This time he led his troops to destroy a village that supported the rebellion against the empire. It was just a test attack by the corps captain. If everything went well, it would take less than a few days for all villages 4 kilometers away from the county town to be treated as such.

The empire should not resist, nor should it need any good people, they only need slaves!

"Yoxi! The Chinese actually dared to gather people to come and generate electricity to the corps headquarters, telling the corps captain Kurokawa that the plan to draw snakes out of the hole has been successful, and our headquarters will firmly attract the main force of the Chinese and wait for the reinforcements to arrive!" Songbei Yuki ordered with a sneer.

As a veteran Chinese-class division of the Japanese army, the 10th Division has naturally had extremely rich battlefield experience. Even if it was a "killing chickens with a ox knife" removal operation, it actually did enough homework before departure.

It was not that I imagined that Dalala was walking towards the mountain village on the map. After all, the vast rural areas of North China have never been their control area. The Eighty Army and various rebellious armed forces are endless. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, this "Earing Operation" actually has another hidden tactical code name "Turn the Snake Out of the Cave"!

If the Chinese reinforcements don’t come, then slaughter all Chinese mountain villages with a population of more than 1,000 as planned. If they really dare to come, it will immediately become an annihilation battle of central attractions and external counter-encirclements.

The purpose of Kikugawa Jiro, the 63rd Infantry Regiment of the 10th Division, was to wipe out the main military forces of the 80th Army located in Guangping Prefecture in one fell swoop.

The lives of more than a thousand Chinese people and the power of the imperial forces close to 500 are the baits that make fish take the bait!

The emergence of a large number of Chinese people has basically achieved the tactical plan of the secret military meeting of the 63rd Infantry Regiment two days ago.

Perhaps the only two that exceeded Songbei Youji's vision was that the Chinese actually had a large number of landmines, and the other was that the combat effectiveness and equipment of the Chinese were far beyond his imagination.

They actually own a lot of German submachine guns, and their firepower is extremely fierce!

In addition, what made Songbei Yuki the most depressed was that the other party had a sharpshooter that even he, the veteran imperial officer, had to admire.

The sharpshooter has killed no less than 10 people under his command, including Yoshikawa Takeo Tomokazu, who is famous in the infantry corps!

But until now, the Songbei Squadron, who was killed by the sharpshooter, had not even seen his shadow. Not to mention the grenade launcher, he had no choice. Even two infantry cannons continued to cover the area where he might exist, and the deadly bullets still shot from time to time.

This is also one of the reasons why Songbei and Mizugu squadrons returned in vain when they launched two rounds of attacks!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Of course Yuki Songbei won't know. Until now, the MG42 machine gun and 60-force that were under the box have not been used.

Yang Bicheng, who had further shot his marksmanship after the New Year's Eve military competition, was only the fourth-ranked weapon spectrum in the third squad.

The third squad that was rebuilt after the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in southeastern Jin only added 4 new recruits, and the rest were all veterans. There were 11 people with ranks of sergeants, 3 sergeants, 4 sergeants, and 3 corporals. Add Lao Abacus, a second-level sergeant commander who is comparable to the lieutenant level.

When the Japanese "New Year's Day offensive" was completed in January, the third squad shone with a record of not being killed or injured by only three people. Perhaps the combat power was not as good as the fourth squad of the 7th Company with a force of up to 20, but if you want to talk about the second squad, you probably won't be convinced.

The number one in the weapon spectrum of the 3rd class is not the MG42 or the 60-force that can reach 30 rounds per minute, but the overall combat effectiveness of the 3rd class. There are three elite soldiers like Takeo Yoshikawa, in the 3rd class.

In other words, Yuki Matsuki did not launch a full-scale attack. If he invested two infantry teams to attack the defense line of the 3rd squad, he would have painfully discovered that no matter whether it was 50 people, 100 or even 150 people, his command would still not be close to the defense line of the 3rd squad 50 meters!

The old abacus was also very clear. He was afraid that he would scare the hundreds of Japanese people to get away and would not wait until reinforcements arrived.

This is the spirit of the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Regiment. What they want is not to block the Japanese army, but to kill them completely.

At this time, the highest commanders on both China and Japan were all "unlike" and that created a strange situation in which China and Japan fought for the first time on the anti-sweeping battlefield in southern Hebei.

At 1 pm, all Chinese troops of more than a thousand people had arrived near Panzhai Village.

The four infantry squads of the four-rank regiment were divided into two groups, one group and two squads, two infantry platoons of the Eighty Army, and 300 militiamen, totaling more than 600 people, completely blocking the rear of the Songbei Yukibu area located in the mountains.

The other two infantry squads and an infantry platoon of the 80th Army met with 200 militiamen, a total of more than 400 people, to set up blocking positions on the outskirts of the mountainous areas to prevent the Japanese army from coming to aid.

This is the valuable combat experience summarized by the Eighty Army and the Four Army Regiment on a one-and-a-half-year battlefield. At any time, do not put all your troops on the battlefield where the Japanese army was annihilated.

Otherwise, once Japanese reinforcements arrive, they will be in a dilemma. They will not only be able to chew off the hard bones in the encirclement, but may also face the danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army.

Sure enough, their choice was the right one!

Before the Chinese had fully assembled, the Japanese army had already lined up to walk out of the barracks. A fully organized infantry brigade and a security infantry battalion, and an army of more than 1,700 people rushed towards Panzhai along the highway.

There are 10 tricycles and 15 trucks ahead, and there are even 4 Type 94 small bean dendrill tanks, which fully demonstrate the strength of the semi-motorized A-type division!

At the same time, all gates in Guangping County are locked, and are allowed to enter and not exit, so as to prevent anyone from informing you.

However, the small radio stations purchased by the Four Lines Group are not only for the front-line troops, but the intelligence department commanded by Gong Shaoxun has developed very rapidly in the past two months.

At least two intelligence stations have been developed in all counties in southern Hebei to prevent one from being destroyed and the entire county town is in an intelligence gap.

Although there are loopholes in reconnaissance intelligence such as Yuki Songbei who scattered out of the city and attacked Panzhai without timely transmission, the unconcealed large-scale assembly of the 63rd Infantry Regiment could not be concealed by the intelligence stations in the city.

"Order the entire company, no matter what method is used, quickly gather in Panzhai! The artillery company of the power generation battalion, my company needs heavy firepower support. Before 5 pm, I will see the 80mm howitzer thrown into battle! Notify the head of the Guangping County Division of the 80th Group Army that our department needs their full assistance! And report to the head of the regiment headquarters!" Wei Donglai, located in a plain village in the countryside of Guangping County, immediately issued a general mobilization for the entire company after receiving emergency information from Guangping County.

The platoon departments who received the company commander's telegram immediately ordered the communicator to run and verbally notify the villages and towns under the infantry platoon. They did not need to meet with the platoon department and rushed to Panzhai directly!

The Guangping Division of the 80th Group Army has two infantry companies and a county armed brigade. The regular army has a strength of 1,200 people. In addition to the two platoons that had already rushed to Panzhai, there were still more than 800 people. After the military orders at all levels were issued, they all started to run in line and head towards Panzhai in less than two hours.

For a time, on various simple village roads, I would occasionally see fully armed gray military uniforms rushing to the road.

The entire Guangping County was like a pot of boiling water, boiling in an instant.

In terms of the regular army alone, China has about 1,500 people, while the Japanese army also has 1,500 people. If 600 people are added to a security army infantry battalion, the Japanese army will naturally have a more dominant position.

After all, the security army's ordnance equipment is at least tied with one Chinese Division B, which is better than the Chinese militia with only bird guns and spears.

Tang Dao, about 70 kilometers away from Guangping County, made a quick judgment the moment he received a telegram from Wei Dong. Thousands of Japanese soldiers were easy to fight, but the Japanese army might have subsequent reinforcements.

Although Li Jiujin's troops and Cai Yongguan's troops near Guangping County can also be supported by cameras, they cannot rule out that the Japanese army will "surround Wei and save Zhao". If the Japanese army in those two counties steals their homes, it will be a strategic failure.

"Order, the first platoon of the mountain infantry company Longyan, the third platoon of the reconnaissance company Shen Laoliu, and the second platoon of the guard company Qin Wulang to support Panzhai at full speed!" Tang Dao looked at his watch.

"Tell them that except for the necessary weapons, ammunition and other equipment for combat, the rest of the personal supplies are thrown at the base. It is not me who need it, but the comrades in the 2nd Company need them to arrive at the Panzhai battlefield within 10 hours!"

"In addition, we ordered Yang Xiaoshan, the 1st Company of the Guard Battalion, the 1st Company of the 1st Company and 2nd Platoon of the Resistance Battalion, Mo Songzi's 1st Company of the Air Defense Battalion, and the 1st Company of the 1st Company of the Packet to head to the Panzhai battlefield. The entire army does not need to hide its whereabouts and advance at full speed. I will telegraph the 80th Group Army's Hebei South Military Sub-district to intercept the Japanese invaders along the way!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Reloading 70 kilometers in 10 hours is definitely the most severe test for the officers and soldiers of the three most elite special company teams of the Four Lines Regiment.

You should know that in the time and space, the Chinese army, which once entered the ice field battlefield, was famous all over the world, also took 14 hours to run 72.5 kilometers in the mountains and ridges!

At roughly the same distance, Tang Dao shortened this time by 4 hours.

Although more than 40 kilometers of this are not an advantage in the mountains, the individual soldiers of the three special infantry platoons are far more burdened than that infantry regiment.

Since the Japanese grenade launcher was completely eliminated and the Tang regiment magic was modified, the infantry squad's firepower has been greatly enhanced, but accordingly, the 60-force 8 kg gun body and 1.1 kg shell weight have also been greatly increased.

Fortunately, thanks to the emergence of general machine guns such as MG42 and MG34, the difference between the four-line group of light and heavy machine guns is whether to use a tripod or a bipod. Even if it is a tripod used to stabilize the ballistic, the weight of the entire set of machine guns does not exceed 20 kilograms. The machine gun shooter and the deputy shooter can bear most of the load of a heavy machine gun team with an ammunition hand. Otherwise, the machine gun alone can make the soldiers exhausted and vomit blood.

But even so, the soldiers who threw away individual food and bedding, changed their clothes and other supplies and loads were loaded around 15 kilograms.

If they can arrive at the specified time, they will inevitably create a miracle of long-distance field raids in the history of war.

Tang Dao's judgment is correct.

At 4 pm, when the main Japanese forces arrived in the mountainous areas around Panzhai continued to attack the Chinese side, obviously in a hurry to set up defense lines without advancing, Colonel Kikugawa Jiro, who was in charge of the 63rd Infantry Regiment of the 10th Division in Guangping County, felt the crisis.

Just a group of "Tu Ba" and underground armed rebels would never be able to stop the impact of more than a thousand regular troops. If they can stop it, it means that it is not an ordinary Chinese army.

Could it be that in addition to the 80th Army, the Chinese actually have elite regular troops entering southern Hebei?

When Kikugawa Jiro was shocked when he thought of this possibility!

Jiro Kikugawa is an outlier of the middle and senior Japanese officers. He is a typical stable personality. When he feels the crisis, he doesn't care about his face and is immediately asking for help from his own brigade commander who is in Handan.

When he heard that his family had dispatched a half-infantry brigade and a security army infantry battalion, he could not guarantee victory. He even had the risk of being eaten up two infantry squadrons and an artillery squadron, the Japanese Army Major General in Handan was a little confused.

What, isn't he in his own occupied area but in Zhongtiao Mountain and the southeastern Jin frontline?

After being confused, he was overjoyed again. He was originally dissatisfied with the tactic of using the A-type division to sweep away China's barren rural areas with cannons. At this time, he could even encounter big fish like the regular Chinese army, which was a military achievement that fell from the sky.

The two counties closest to Guangping County each sent about 2 infantry squadrons, a heavy machine gun squad and an artillery squad, a total of about 1,200 people, and rushed towards Panzhai in a mighty manner.

Just this, the regular Japanese army dispatched reached 2,500. If auxiliary troops were added, the strength was only one infantry corps.

According to the understanding of Japanese commanders at all levels, even in the face of a regular Chinese infantry division, the imperial warriors of the 10th Division were not afraid at all.

Unfortunately, what they are facing now is a reduced version of the four-line group.

Although the regular infantry has not many troops, it is just an infantry company with more than 300 people and three special infantry platoons, which is only about 530 people.

However, the large-caliber heavy force that should have is the same as the anti-aircraft high-air artillery. Its ground-to-air firepower has actually surpassed the entire Four-line Regiment that ambushed an infantry regiment of the 14th Division in the Bihe River and needed to attack with all its strength.

Just this afternoon and evening, reinforcements from both China and Japan arrived continuously!

Both sides have the intention to kill the opponent in one fell swoop!

But no matter what the commanders of both sides thought, Captain Aki Matsuki, who was located at the center of the encirclement, discovered in the evening that the "concealing the world and crossing the sea" tactics set by Lord Kikugawa Jiro were very good, but he really asked him not to use it in the future.

The sinister Chinese people actually hid cannons. Although they were small cannons, they could not stand the crackling wave of dozens of shells that were like raining.

Compared with the Chinese cannons, the two infantry cannons weighing 220 kilograms are like a fool, with no motivation at all!

What does it mean to be beaten? The infantry cannon that has been blown into two scrap iron lumps are proved by the tragic scene.

Baga! It turns out that no matter what the final battle situation is, his "bait" is the kind that is about to be lost.
Chapter completed!
