At this time, the battlefield with a total area of ​​up to 10 square kilometers was full of deafening guns and cannons everywhere!

Especially the explosive packs bombed by the 772nd Regiment using the "Flying Thunder Cannon", there was a violent explosion of nearly a thousand kilograms of explosives. Even the Tang Dao in Zhaojiazhuang, which is 4,800 meters away from them, can be clearly heard.

A total of 18 60-force and 18 MG42 machine guns firepower venting is nothing on such a large battlefield.

Therefore, neither Shinozuka Yoshio, who sent his deputy chief of staff, nor the infantry brigade that was only 1,200 meters away from the ambush, did not realize that there would be such a battle there.

Although there have been many battles in the process of searching on the battlefield, the cavalry squadrons suffered heavy losses, but after all, it was caused by too few troops. Who would have thought that the Chinese were so brave that they gathered forces to siege a reinforced infantry squadron with 300 troops inside the battlefield.

No, to be more precise, it is to encircle and annihilate it.

And, on a plain!

The Chinese, hidden in the tunnels and ditches, took advantage of their extreme familiarity with the terrain to divide the unexpected 300 Japanese army into two parts.

After using wooden boards, camouflage cloth and dead grass to hide themselves in the ditch, the Chinese used submachine guns and terrible light machine guns to kill the Japanese infantry circle in the wilderness, they used small-caliber mortar groups to strike the visible fire points and grenade launchers.

In almost 5 minutes, the Japanese army completely lost all their light machine guns and grenade launchers, which was a fatal blow to a light infantry.

The Chinese not only have weapons and equipment far better than them, but also have at least two levels of shooting skills.

Especially the reconnaissance company archers led by Niu Er, who was hiding within a straight line of about 250 meters in the Japanese resistance area, almost crushed the Japanese infantry that had exploded.

According to Niu Er's observations, Niu Er, who was hiding on a slope, fired 28 bullets in this battle, but killed 22 Japanese troops.

The "mindless" who has become a squad leader is not as perverted as Niu Er, but his semi-automatic rifle has become the No. 2 sharpshooter on the battlefield with 40 bullets.

Although Niu Er's hit rate is far less than usual, and his "mindless" hit rate is even less than 40%, don't forget that this is an encirclement and annihilation battle, not a defensive battle in the ordinary. There is enough time for the snipers to lurk and aim.

Everyone was able to output enough bullets at the fastest speed to kill the enemy before Japanese reinforcements arrived.

According to Gu Xishui's estimate, the time left for them is only 22 minutes at most. Once the time comes, no matter whether the Japanese have been wiped out or not, everyone will have to evacuate immediately.

What they do is assassin's work. With one blow, they will escape thousands of miles away!

The two elite infantry companies succeeded. After a violent output, the Japanese army, who were blinded by the precise rain of bullets and mortar shells, did not choose to wait for death on the spot, and tried desperately to break through the gap that they had left for them.

That accelerated their demise. 500 meters away from that area, Longyan took his mountain infantry platoon and waited for them to arrive.

Nearly a hundred Japanese troops who escaped by chance caused storm-like strafing and grenade attacks in the unrestrained wilderness.

The deputy chief of staff at the command center, who was used to mobilizing infantry brigade level, had no experience in grassroots combat at the command center. It was at the request of his eagerness to escape that the remaining Japanese soldiers embarked on a path of no return.

In just 5 minutes, Longyan and his mountain infantry platoon wiped out the remnants of the Japanese army whose troops were almost equal to them.

"No wonder the leader of the regiment often said that courage is more important than anything else on the battlefield. A despicable Japanese are not as good as a group of antelope. At least the antelope runs faster!" Long Yan's summary at the post-war celebration banquet received a lot of applause.

"Although my brother hasn't studied much, he has been instructing me for a long time and has become somewhat more educated!" Shen Laoliu grinned and showed off to his wife.

Long Ying rolled her eyes speechlessly. The two brothers were purely influencing each other. I don’t know how much personal quality has improved, but the thickness of the face is on the same level.

Touching his slightly raised belly, Second Lieutenant Long Ying couldn't help but worry. With such a father and uncle, the child's personal characteristics are really worrying.

But no matter whether Long Yan and Shen Laoliu were both arrogant or not, they did finish the 300th Japanese army.

When the infantry brigade, who was being taken to the top, reacted and arrived at the battlefield 23 minutes later, there were only more than 300 corpses lying quietly in the wilderness.

The Japanese Army Nakasa, wearing long leather boots and commanding knife, had nothing but lost his life. A bullet shot into his chest at close range left only a small bullet hole in front of his chest, but a cup size hole was blown out behind him.

The Chinese had no intention of cleaning the battlefield at all, but they just fled immediately after roughly replacing the gun, which also made the more than 300 Japanese unlucky men have a lucky one.

A senior privateer was stunned by the air waves of the grenade explosion and was covered by two bloody colleagues. Although it could not be ruled out that it was a human factor, no matter what, he accidentally escaped the disaster.

This also gives Lieutenant Yoshinosuke the opportunity to obtain the entire attack process and the actual combat power analysis of the Chinese.

"The Chinese have roughly about 400 troops, but they can kill 300 people from the Imperial Army within 20 minutes." Yoshio Shinozuka's face was even more ugly at that moment than receiving his last strengthened infantry squadron being attacked and wiped out.

This means that in the confrontation at the infantry squadron level, his 10th Division is no longer on the same level as his opponent, the Four Lines.

Even if it is enlarged to the level of an infantry brigade, can the two 92 infantry artillery equipped by the infantry brigade change the pattern of the entire battlefield?

When I think of the small-caliber mortars equipped with the infantry squad with a range of more than 1,000 meters, maybe one or two doors are not obvious, but in terms of conversion, a single infantry battalion is definitely close to 30 doors, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but get numb from his scalp.

Even as tough as Yoshio Shinozuka, at this moment, he had to admit that without the assistance of the fighter fleet and heavy artillery wing, his 10th Division could no longer pose a major threat to the current Chinese army.

No, to be precise, it is not him who is threatening the Chinese now, but the Chinese army, whose troops are absolutely not weaker than him, is threatening him.

It will take a full 40 hours for the two mixed brigades to arrive at the battlefield, and the heavy artillery wing will take 5 days. Now the battlefield between the two armies is almost the same as me and I. The bomber group that cannot enter the low altitude has temporarily lost its function.

Even Saburo Kuroda's 2,000 people have lost the front line of trenches, and the defense line is already shaking. Yoshio Shinozuka has not completely lost his fighting spirit. He still has an army of nearly 14,000 people under his command. Even by consumption, he can persist until 40 hours later, cooperate with more than 10,000 reinforcements to defeat the Chinese army in one fell swoop.

Especially when he thought that Tang Dao, the empire's confidant, was surrounded by himself on that battlefield with 80% chance of being surrounded by himself, Shinozuka Yoshio knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might never have another chance.

But all the persistence and ambitions, after the surviving private described his personal combat experience, Yoshio Shinozuka was panicked.

He finally knew why the empire's confidant dared to lead a large army into this battlefield, because he had the confidence and strength.

That is the light infantry with only a few hundred people, and they already have the ability to kill all opponents with similar strength in field battles in just 20 minutes. What if they multiply it by ten or even twenty?

It has been a year and a half since the Four Army Regiment entered the Taihang Mountains, and there have been nearly ten battles with the Japanese army, all of them. If anyone else treats the Four Army Regiment as an infantry regiment at this time, then it will be a broken brain.

Although the intelligence personnel lurking in China have given the special regiment structure of more than 5,000 people in the Four Corps, the intelligence departments of the North China Army of Japan did not believe it at all. It was not so difficult for them to fight a Chinese infantry division, okay?

Even the 683rd Brigade, which has been defined as the most difficult force to fight on the battlefield in North China, and the Japanese generals who have really fought against Tang Dao and the Four Army Regiment, all believed that they would rather face the latter.

"Baga! Tang Dao, what is his idea?" The 10th Division was waiting for reinforcements from the Empire, so what were Tang Dao and the Four-Ship Regiment waiting for? This was a question that Shinozuka Yoshio had to associate deeper after personally experiencing the terrifying combat power of the elite infantry of the Four-Ship Regiment.

No, the Chinese still have nearly 20,000 troops in southern Hebei, but obviously, the troops here are far from enough.

The 5,000 regular troops stationed in the depths of the Taihang Mountains in southeastern Shanxi can quietly cross the blockade line of the 108th Division and advance to Xingtai 200 kilometers away. Will there be more troops lurking on the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain not far from Handan City?

This thought was not important, and Yoshio Shinozuka was frightened and sweated!

The lessons of the war in Eastern Jin Dynasty in September last year are still vivid in my mind. Isn’t it that the two sixth brothers in the Front Army Command planned for a long time to play a so-called "induce the king into the trap". As a result, the gentleman did not wait, but waited for a fierce attack tiger, which not only broke the urn, but also captured the stone gate.

If the Chinese take down both Handan and Xingtai with this move, they will swell the old face of the new commander of the front army.

Who would be the one who could take the blame for the commander?

Who else can he be, apart from the lieutenant general commander? I guess even a lieutenant who is the most politician, can answer this first-grade question in one go.

As for Yukinosuke Okumi, who was also blocking Chinese troops in the wild under his orders, if Yoshio Shinozuka still had hope for this guy, it would be a mess.

If the Chinese really attacked Handan City in large numbers, the chances of those Osaka vendors running away with oil on their feet are higher than 95%.

No wonder the Chinese dared to fight their 10th Division on this plain. First, they had enough strength to hold back their 10th Division and even reinforcements, and second, they used the routine of "speaking east and attacking west" and secretly attacked the city while the two big cities were empty in defense.

Although Yoshio Shinozuka knew that even if the Chinese broke through the city, they would not stay forever and would probably leave again, there were weapons and supplies in the city. What’s more important is that counterattacking the city and occupying it has extremely important political significance.

The government is now taking advantage of the battlefield in Central China to force the Chinese government in Shancheng to surrender to resolve the war that has used the empire's reserve resources for decades.

The war that had been launched for two years has declined due to the decline in the domestic economy due to a large number of young and strong joining the army. The imperial finances are already overwhelmed. The Germanic Empire is lobbying the Empire to join the alliance, and the Empire may face a stronger enemy.

It is said that private secret negotiations have certain prospects. If such an accident occurs on the battlefield in North China, the intentions of the empire's senior officials will be disappointed, it will be much more serious than the so-called battlefield failure.

Withdrawal of troops and defending the two most core cities in southern Hebei are the key to this battle.

As soon as this idea was opened, all kinds of thoughts came to you. The final decision he made was that he could not fight with the Sixing Group here, so we had to stay home first.

So, even Tang Dao did not expect that before dusk in the afternoon, the 10th Division actually gathered heavy troops to launch a counterattack against the 772nd Regiment and the Independent Battalion of the Southern Hebei Division, which had a smooth attack on the 772nd Regiment and the Hebei-South Division.

For this reason, the few remaining artillery brigades even exposed their coordinates and bombarded them for more than an hour in one breath.

More than 1,500 shells and three infantry brigades took turns to attack, which made the regiment commander Wang Xiaoqiang, known for his toughness, look as if he had to give up the Japanese trenches that had been occupied by many explosives and sacrifices, and returned to the starting point of the battlefield.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Is the Japanese army trying to fight to the death?" Several infantry company commanders who returned to the Zhaojiazhuang regiment command made such a judgment.

Li Jiujin, who has always been careless, looked very serious at this time.

He was not afraid of the Japanese army fighting attrition here. This time, the Tang Dao prepared very well, and all kinds of supplies were enough for the entire regiment to fight the Japanese army here for ten days.

Selling bullets for life has always been the combat policy of the Four Lines regiment. If the materials are gone, you can buy them and steal the Japanese, but life is precious.

Therefore, Li Jiujin was afraid that the Japanese army would fight to the death, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese A Division was not weak. If he really wanted to fight his life, the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Regiment who participated in the battle this time would have to pay at least half of the casualties.

Two days ago, he was killed by the Japanese army with one move. Li Jiujin was so distressed that he burst into tears, not to mention that he had half of his comrades who had been with him day and night.

"Why, it's rare to see your company commander Jiujin so serious. You dare not fight the Japanese devils?" Tang Dao looked at Li Jiujin with a stern face, and didn't even take the initiative to smoke the cigarette on the table. He couldn't help but smile and joke.

"Sir, you don't understand me yet. From the four leaders to now, I have been afraid of fighting with the Japanese. But I thought that the Japanese suddenly tried to kill them and wanted to annihilate them. I said that there were only a hundred good guys. I have said goodbye to too many people in the past two years. I still feel a little uncomfortable when I think of this." Li Jiujin's face was bitter.

As soon as these words were spoken, let alone the white-faced scholar Wei Donglai's eyes flashed with gloomy, even Cai Yongguan, nicknamed "The Three Armys of the Warriors", twitched violently.

Both of them remembered the Mouse Mountain back then. Although that battle won the titles of hard bones and steel companies for their infantry companies, those brothers would never come back.

But what scared the two even more was that when they remembered those brothers, they could not remember their eyebrows and eyes.

Are they about to forget those people? If they even forget those who are brothers and superiors, will those people still exist in this world?

Yes, as soldiers, although they fear death, they are brave enough to welcome death, but they are afraid of forgetting.

"Okay, you old Li feels sorry for your soldiers. This company commander is already qualified for 80% or 90%." Tang Dao did not feel dissatisfied because Li Jiujin showed his vulnerability at such a nervous moment, but instead praised him with a smile.

"However, this time you don't have to worry too much about the Japanese in the 10th Division's devils to play with us. After all, they have not reached the end of desperate situation, and when they have reinforcements about to arrive."

"The Japanese were so desperate to do that in the afternoon with the 772nd Regiment? Could it be that the leader Wang accidentally stabbed an old Japanese back door, and the old Japanese were so angry that they insisted on sending him to the leader Wang?

I want me to tell you! What I admire most in the Eighty Army is Captain Wang. It would be fine if he doesn't play according to the routine. This stabbing person is also a sarcastic type." When he heard Tang Dao say this, Li Jiujin, who had lost all his heart, returned to his usual shape.

Several company commanders who were very familiar with Wang Xiaoqiang burst into laughter.

This generous personality and likes to play pigs and eat tigers. He looks like a silly man, but he is actually very cunning. He has two styles with his wise and brave brigade commander who is famous all over the world. The cliff is considered an alien in the Eighty Army. In addition to Tang Dao, he is very close to several company-level officers of the Four Corps, such as Li Jiujin, Cai Yongguan and Pang Dahai. In private, he has drunk and chatted with Dashan a lot.

"Haha! You guys are just here to arrange the Commander Wang. Be careful that if he knows, he will cheat you pistols from you in the name of drinking, and leave the submachine gun!" Tang Dao also smiled softly.
