"The captain of the regiment already has the essence of Sun Tzu's art of war." Several staff officers flattered wildly.

However, several messengers had already dispersed and passed orders to various brigades, and more than 2000 devils were busy relying on the road on the south side of the blockade ditch.

Here it is necessary to explain the terrain again.

Zhengtai Road is a railway line connecting Taiyuan and Zhengding.

On the north and south sides of this railway line, at a distance of about 15 kilometers, a blockade ditch has been built. The average width of the blockade ditch is more than four meters, and the average depth is more than three meters.

On the inside of the blockade ditch, a barbed wire fence was also pulled.

On the inside of the barbed wire fence, a road was also built.

In addition, the two blockade ditches in the north and the south and the two roads are all built in the middle of the valley.

Therefore, what the Ogasawara detachment currently occupies is the south side of a river valley, so Ogasawara Taro wants the infantry brigade to seize all the commanding heights on the south side of the road, otherwise there will be no ready-made fire support. It is possible to beat them down in one go.

This is how the Duobuwei detachment was defeated by the Eighth Route Army.

He Ogasawara Taro would not make such a low-level mistake.

As for the north side of the road, there is a blockade ditch more than four meters wide, so don't worry about it at all.

After giving the order, Ogasawara Taro began to smoke leisurely by the armored car door, and only waited for the engineering brigade and the supply brigade to build fortifications before they could launch an attack.

However, at this moment, the night sky across the blockade ditch suddenly lit up.

Taro Ogasawara and several staff officers around him raised their heads quickly, and saw streamers of light piercing the night sky, rising from behind the mountain ridge opposite the blockade ditch in the north.

"This is... a cannonball?" Ogasawara Taro's eyes widened.

Because he was so surprised that he didn't even feel that the butt of the cigarette had burned his fingers.

Several combat staff officers in the regiment headquarters were also dumbfounded. A bombardment of this scale required at least one regiment!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of streaks of streamer blazed across the night sky and formed a large shower of meteors and fire, and then crossed the mountain ridge and the blockade ditch, accumulating and falling towards the side of the valley.

About ten seconds later, the shower of meteors and fire crashed to the ground and exploded violently.

In the river valley ahead, the engineering brigade and the supply brigade that were being built were immediately blown upright.

But fortunately, the entire defensive formation of the engineering brigade and the supply brigade was stretched apart, and the distance between them was very large, so the casualties suffered were not serious.

At most, the position of one squadron was covered.

This casualty is nothing to the Ogasawara detachment.

It was also at this time that Ogasawara Taro felt burning pain in his fingers, and immediately threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

"Kono-kun!" Taro Ogasawara rubbed his fingers, turned his head and asked, "Can you estimate the distance of the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, about how many kilometers away?"

The named staff officer was obviously good at judging distance from ballistic trajectories.

At this time, another stream of light burst from the opposite side of the blockade ditch.

After observing carefully for a while, Staff Officer Kono shouted: "The distance should be between two kilometers and five kilometers!"

"Baga." Ogasawara Taro said angrily, "What I want is an accurate distance, not a range. Should we let our artillery carry out carpet bombardment of a wide area of ​​two kilometers to five kilometers?"

"Hayi!" Staff Officer Kono paused, "Commander, I can understand your feelings, but the fact is that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is indeed distributed in a wide range of two kilometers to five kilometers! Moreover, there are many types of artillery of the Eighth Route Army. The 105nd infantry artillery with a range of less than three kilometers also has a [-]mm cannon with a range of more than ten kilometers."

"Nani?" Ogasawara Taro was a little dumbfounded, how to counter it in such a large area?

Staff Officer Kono continued: "Commander, even if the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is within a small area, our artillery will probably be unable to counterattack, because their artillery positions are located on the reverse slope of the mountain, and due to ballistic restrictions, Our artillery can't hit them."

"Baga, cunning Chinese!"

Ogasawara Taro's face suddenly collapsed.

But fortunately, they had been prepared for a long time, so they were not very afraid of the shelling of the Eighth Route Army.

If they had the ability, the Eighth Route Army would blow up the entire river valley in a few square kilometers, and we would have to see if the Eighth Route Army had so many shells.

……

The blockade ditch is not a straight line.

Due to the angle, the devil on the opposite side could not see the situation in the blockade ditch here.

In fact, in the blockade ditch here, two commandos from the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment were quietly ambush. These two commando teams were led by Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

More than 1000 fighters of two commandos,

All are selected from the new 1 group and the new 2 group.

In the previous battle, although the mobile column won the victory, it also suffered a lot of casualties. The regiments participating in the battle together suffered more than a thousand casualties, of which more than 500 were killed.

The six main battalions of the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment are all missing.

Because of this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie could only select the elite and temporarily formed a commando team.

The more than a thousand soldiers of these two commandos are all elites from the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment. They are not only agile, but also have excellent tactical skills and abundant physical fitness.

In front of the commando, four tanks were quietly parked.

The four tanks have all started up, and black smoke is spraying out from the exhaust holes.

Li Sigen was standing on the turret of the front tank, checking the time with his watch.

At a certain moment, Li Sigen yelled and waved again, and the Type [-] medium tank under him drove up the ramp first, and along the ramp, opened the blockade ditch from the gap.

Behind the Type 3 medium tank, three Type [-] tanks followed in file.

Seeing this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie immediately took out their pistols and roared again. More than a thousand elite veterans who were sitting and resting got up in unison, and followed with bayonet-mounted rifles.

In a blink of an eye, more than a thousand soldiers descended from the ramp that blocked the gap in the ditch to the ground.

Looking up, they saw that the road and the river valley in front of them had been bombed and smoked. They couldn't see what was ahead, and it was impossible for the devils in front to see them.

The artillery regiment hidden in the mountains on the north side of the blockade ditch is still firing shells continuously. Rows of shells continue to cross the night sky above their heads, and they continue to fall on the road and river valley ahead. After the explosion, more intense Gunpowder, now it is even more impossible to see the situation ahead.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Kong Jie held the shell gun and couldn't help sighing.

"Our old Kong Ba has never fought such a rich battle in his life."

"Who said it wasn't?" Ding Wei also sighed, this is the fucking war.

The artillerymen smashed shells on the little devil's head as if they didn't want money, and there were tanks in front of them responsible for opening the way. The only thing they had to do was to follow the tanks and walk forward slowly, and harvest the devils by the way.

At this time, the artillery fire was already extending forward, and they had already entered the devil's position.

Although the artillery fire of the artillery regiment was dense enough, it was impossible to kill all the devils.

"His Majesty is on board!" From time to time, devils jumped up from the bombed-out positions, or rushed towards the Eighth Route Army with bayonet-mounted [-] caps, or knocked grenades, but waited. What they have is the sharp bayonets or intensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

The devils you see along the way, no matter whether they are dead or alive or broken, will all make up their guns or make up their knives.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie did not forget to loudly remind the accompanying soldiers behind them: "Listen carefully to me, if you see devils, they will make up their guns regardless of whether they are dead or alive!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded loudly.

Then he walked forward slowly with the bayonet in his hand.

In a blink of an eye, I walked forward for almost 100 meters.

At this time, the firepower of the artillery regiment extended forward again.

"Old Ding, Lao Cao has some skills." Kong Jie couldn't help admiring.

Ding Wei snorted and said, "Do you think this is Lao Cao's skill?"

After a pause, he continued, "This is Xu Jin's barrage. I heard the deputy chief of staff talk about it when I was drinking. The Soviet Red Army used this tactic when fighting against Finland."

Kong Jie said: "Xu Jin barrage? It sounds very powerful."

"It doesn't matter how powerful it is." Ding Wei said, "This tactic is specially used to cover the infantry to launch a strong attack on the enemy's trench fortifications. Right now, the devil's fortifications have not been repaired, and there will be big trouble."

While speaking, the two commandos advanced nearly 100 meters.

……

"idiot!"

"Xu Jin barrage?!"

"Tubalu actually understands Xu Jin's barrage!"

Ogasawara Taro has also realized that something is wrong.

There is nothing commendable about Xu Jin's barrage tactic itself, but there is a saying that there has never been a good tactic in this world, only applicable ones.

For the Eighth Route Army at this time, Xu Jin's barrage is a very applicable tactic.

Because at this time the Ogasawara detachment had no firm foothold, not to mention fortifications, even the machine gun firepower point on the right side of the road hadn't been built. The Japanese army launched a fierce attack.

But retreat, absolutely cannot retreat.

Not to mention that your Excellency the Commander will not allow the retreat, even if the retreat is allowed, there is no way to retreat, because at this time the retreating troops will immediately collapse and collapse.

Among other things, do you still need heavy weapons?

Do you still want to carry the luggage?

Without heavy weapons and supplies, how much combat power is left?

At that moment, Taro Ogasawara roared: "Order, all light and heavy machine guns aim at the barrage and fire at me, and the artillery team also aim at the front of the barrage, and carry out blanket artillery coverage!"

Due to the occlusion of the barrage, the Japanese army had no way to aim at all, so whether it was a light or heavy machine gun or a howitzer, they could only shoot indiscriminately, firing crazily at the barrage.

……

Ding Wei and Kong Jie reacted quickly, and immediately hid behind the rear of the Type [-] tank.

Dazzling streamers of light pierced through the barrage and swept over violently. The four leading tanks were instantly hit straight on. The bullets hit the front armor of the tanks with a clanging sound and sparks scattered everywhere.

The soldiers hiding behind the tank were unscathed, and they were even in the mood to joke.

However, not all soldiers can have such good luck. After all, four tanks are still too few to cover the entire infantry formation.

So many soldiers were still hit by stray bullets and fell to the ground screaming.

In addition to machine guns, shells kept falling and exploded among the commandos.

However, the devil's shells are not so dense, and their lethality is very limited.

Although soldiers were hit by stray bullets or bombed by shells from time to time, more soldiers advanced steadily at a speed of 50 meters per minute under the guidance of four tanks.

As the barrage continued to advance, the devil's positions were also bloodbathed one by one.

These poor little devils had just been subjected to heavy shelling, and finally waited until the point of impact stretched back, thinking they could catch their breath, but when they looked up, they saw dark tanks and countless Eighth Route Army.

The devils of the 2nd Guards Division were indeed extremely fierce. Even at such a desperate moment, they still instinctively launched a fierce counterattack against the Eighth Route Army, but the result was the same.

The Eighth Route Army not only has tanks, but also has advantages in strength and firepower.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie are sure that if they continue to fight like this, they can easily reap the fruits of victory.

Taro Ogasawara also realized this, but he obviously didn't want to accept such a result. He decided to fight back, yes, he wanted to counterattack the Eighth Route Army against the barrage.

Seeing that the barrage is about to extend to the wing headquarters,

Taro Ogasawara has finally made up his mind, and it's time to fight back.

"Order!" Ogasawara Taro gritted his teeth and roared, "All charge to the death!"

Chapter 229 The corpse is everywhere

Toshiki Kimura is the squadron leader of the Communication Squadron of the 4th Guards Infantry Regiment.

After receiving the order from Taro Ogasawara, Toshiki Kimura ordered the communications soldiers of the communications squadron to blow up all the radio equipment of the entire squadron, leaving only the last transmitter.

"Miura-kun." Toshi Kimura's eyes fell on a communication soldier.

Communication soldier Ryo Miura suddenly stopped his feet and stood at attention, paused and said with a miserable expression: "Hai!"

"It's up to you to send a farewell telegram to the headquarters." Kimura Toshi patted Miura Ryo's helmet, and said, "After sending out the telegram, follow up with the charge until the final battle to the death."

"Hay!" Miura Ryo nodded heavily again.

Kimura Toshi drew out his saber with his backhand, and glanced at the artillery position not far away.

I saw that the artillerymen of the artillery brigade were already blowing up the cannons. After blowing up all the field cannons, all the artillerymen would also launch a desperate charge.

"Communication Squadron!"
