I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 277 The ultimate goal of the devil is to join the

When Captain Cheng heard that the Japanese had only prepared a squadron of soldiers to attack, he was so angry that he started cursing.

"Damn these little Japanese devils, they look down on me, Cheng.

Comrades, hide well, we will get close to them and fight them later. I will definitely take care of this squadron of Japs today.

Hey, why are you militiamen still standing here?

The Japanese are about to start shelling, go to the position 500 meters behind. "

The trenches there were dug by me with the help of your Captain Li Yunlong.

You all go to the trenches at the back and wait for your commander there. He will be here in an hour."

After Captain Cheng finished speaking, he no longer cared about the Lianzhuang team and went to the front line to observe the enemy situation.

Commander Shi was still polite and led the soldiers of the Lianzhuang team to the back.

Even though he is not valued by Captain Cheng, the soldiers under him do not look down on him at all.

Their commander is very capable and has led them to victory in many battles.

Otherwise, at the beginning of last year, they would not have dared to use a battalion of militia to attack the camp of the 7th Division of the Imperial Army.

Shi Muqiao commanded the militia and quickly entered the rear position.

Because his artillery battalion arrived late, he was assigned to set up an artillery position behind the trenches of the New 1st Regiment.

The location of the new regiment is still very good, right inside the mountain pass.

The terrain here is narrow, and trenches have been dug on the hillsides on both sides, which is perfect for fighting a blocking battle.

This trench was dug with the help of Captain Cheng, so that the several regiments that were engaged in blocking operations could cross-cover their retreat.

This location was Li Yunlong’s main base in Song Wenwan’s previous time and space.

Halfway through the walk, a shallow ditch appeared in front of us, more than one person deep.

Shimuqiao immediately called out to the company commander of the first battalion, who led his company into the ditch.

Shi Muqiao: "Captain of the First Company, look at the Japanese attack outside, is there any problem?"

The company commander stuck his head out and observed for a while.

"Commander, the craters made by the Japanese artillery fire are wrong!"

Shimuqiao: "Why is it wrong?"

The company commander put down his binoculars and said, "Commander, the Japanese have only two tactics in fighting. One is to bombard with artillery and then charge with infantry.

Another tactic is to attack the junction of the defenders, and then infiltrate and encircle them.

But look at the Eighth Route Army’s two main positions, there are bullet holes everywhere.

Even on the left and right wings of the Eighth Route Army, there were many Japanese corpses left behind.

This shows that the Japanese had attacked these places in previous battles.

Only the junction of the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army was unexpectedly forgotten by the Japanese.

If you look at the trench at the junction, you can see that there should have been a company of soldiers guarding there.

But you see, there are only two squads left in the trenches now.

This shows that there is a commander who is constantly withdrawing troops from this position to other positions.

This location is also very strange and doesn't look dangerous.

But once occupied by the Japanese, the two main regiments would inevitably lose contact.

It’s easy to deal with Captain Cheng, but it’s hard to say if that regiment wants to retreat.

I'm afraid we'll have to go a long way before we can join up with the main force of the division."

But now is the anti-mopping-up period, and the devil's mopping-up troops are everywhere.

Both of them knew that once they were surrounded by the enemy, it would be very difficult to break out.

The company commander continued his analysis: "Look, five hundred meters away, there is only one squadron of Japanese soldiers preparing to attack the Eighth Route Army.

Seven hundred meters away, there was another large group of Japanese soldiers gathering. I estimated that the Japanese soldiers in that squadron had very dangerous intentions.

You see, two hundred meters in front of the position, there is a small hill which is a blind spot.

Once the Japanese reached the hill, they did not come out from the left to attack the main position, but instead attacked from the right.

A distance of two hundred meters can be covered in less than a minute even for a woman.

Besides, the Eighth Route Army’s habit of shooting is that they will not shoot unless they are within a hundred meters.

I'm afraid that the soldiers of the two squads in the juncture unit would not be able to fire two shots before the Japanese entered the trenches.

The Japanese brigade at the back rushed upwards, and their infantry artillery fired several shots on both sides of the junction.

I'm afraid that before Captain Li can reach Cangyun Ridge, the position here will be broken through by the Japanese.

It seems that the ultimate goal of the devils is the junction between the two regiments. "

Shimuqiao still had that kind smile on his face: "Tsk tsk, you are really a talented kid, why didn't I notice you before?"

The first company commander said, "Commander Shi, is there any difficult task you want me to do?"

Commander Shi: "What did Commander Song say at the beginning?

Oh, I am going to give you an opportunity to be rewarded for your meritorious service.

I just realized, what do you mean by giving you a difficult task?

Don't be so ungrateful here, or I'll go find the second captain, he won't say as many weird things as you."

The company commander quickly grabbed Shimuqiao and said with a smile: "Just tell me to do it. I'll change people now. The soldier behind me will eat me up!"

Shimuqiao: "Bring enough heavy weapons and follow this ditch back.

Do you see that hillside a hundred meters behind them?

You just hide behind the hillside, as the Japanese will launch a surprise attack there.

You must wipe them out completely within 200 meters, and then quickly enter the Eighth Route Army's position."

The first company commander said: "Why would I go there? They clearly don't welcome me.

Besides, the terrain behind the trench is very good, and the field of vision is wide, which is just right for the use of our heavy weapons."

Shimuqiao: "I just finished praising you and you're already gasping for breath?

There is not even a shelter on the hillside. After a few shells, how many people will be left in your company?

It's so nice in the trenches down there. We haven't been hit by a single shell in two days. It's very solid."

As soon as the company commander led his men to support the junction, Commander Shi transferred another battalion.

Be prepared to support the main position when Captain Cheng is in danger.

It can be said that their analysis just now is not much different from the attack method arranged by the Japanese.

The 3rd Regiment of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army is also called the Sakata Regiment because its commander is Colonel Nobutetsu Sakata.

At this time, Nobutsu Sakata was hiding in his regiment headquarters.

He was using a telescope to observe the Eighth Route Army's positions with his chief of staff.

Chief of Staff: "Sakata-kun, the two regiments of the brigade are marching too slowly, at the speed of a turtle.

If they could arrive at the designated location in Cangyunling this morning.

Now the brave warriors of our Sakata Regiment have already broken through the Eighth Route Army's blocking positions."

Sakata Nobutsu said proudly: "Haruta-kun, don't forget what I said, only when you are strong can you be truly strong.

As for the regiments under those two useless people, they are just a backdrop for our Sakata regiment to show off its glorious military achievements."

The Japanese Army Chief of Staff bowed to Sakata Nobutsu with sincere admiration.

"Hi! Thank you for your teachings, Sakata-kun. Every word you said is so profound and has benefited me a lot."

"Yoshi," Nobutsu Sakata was very satisfied with the attitude of his chief of staff.

“However, we still need to contact the brigade headquarters and ask those two useless regiments to catch up quickly.

We have spent nearly two days in this place.

Among the brave warriors of our regiment, two squadrons of soldiers have already been killed.

I will not allow such casualties to occur in my squadron again."
