Chapter 325 The battle between ants and elephants

Chen Shanhe was caught off guard. It can't be said that he was caught off guard!

The most important thing is that the Japanese army's awareness of electronic warfare is a bit high. They can actually surround the place where the radio waves are emitted, and then arrest everyone and search them.

This was the case when they attacked Yan Xishan. The reason why they were able to chase Yan Xishan and bomb them was because Yan Xishan's radio station sent out telegrams all the time.

As the most elite Japanese army, the Kwantung Army, they must have found the reason for their defeat in the previous battles.

The biggest reason was intelligence issues, so along the way, wherever there was radio station fluctuations, they would round up people and arrest them all to search.

For this reason, many chess pieces within the pass were captured, and the people Chen Shanhe sent out also suffered a lot of losses.

They had traveled too far, and were no longer within the range that infantry walkie-talkies could communicate, so they had to use a radio, but the radio was alerted by the Japanese army.

When Chen Shanhe discovered that the Japanese troops were approaching his cordon, he was indeed caught off guard.

But relatively speaking, the warning circle he put out was a bit large.

It was so big that even if he was caught off guard by the Japanese army, he could react in time.

The busiest person is the correspondent. Although many places have telephone calls, what Chen Shanhe attaches most to is the smooth flow of command in the base area, so the telephone lines are extended wherever they can be reached. However, there are many places where the only way is to rely on the correspondent.

Go and notify immediately.

Inform the people to move and go to the tunnels!

But fortunately, the people here sincerely supported the Eighth Route Army from the beginning and received training and training on how to quickly enter the tunnels and how to prepare the necessary food and water for their homes in the tunnels.

Because at the beginning, the political cadres and staff sent out by Zhao Gang would hold meetings with the people and explain that the battle with the Japanese would definitely go on, and the Japanese would definitely attack, so they might encounter Japanese revenge at any time.

Tunnels and temporary evasion training were prepared for the people when they faced Japanese attacks.

The battle in Qinglongshan Town was used as an example. They mentioned it countless times just to give the people confidence.

Let the common people know that as long as they hide in time as required and temporarily avoid the enemy's sharp edge, they can survive.

As long as people survive, the land will still be theirs if they can't escape, and the food is in the tunnels, so there's no need to panic.

Every village has a militia to organize the people to hide, and the people are also divided into teams to supervise the people around them to prevent spies from appearing.

Once a spy appears, the whole village will be harmed.

The political workers of the Eighth Route Army often did this kind of work when they were in the customs. They were very experienced, so everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

Things in this world are like this, don't be afraid of too many things, just be afraid of doing things in an orderly manner.

There are many things, just like there are many people.

When trying to do these things, it is like a group of people trying to squeeze through a doorway that is just big enough for one person to pass through.

At this time, if you queue up and go out one by one, the people in the room will go out easily.

But if you are scrambling to squeeze through that door, you will usually be stuck at that door and no one can get out.

Therefore, order is very important. With order and organization, the safety of the people that Chen Shanhe is worried about can be guaranteed.

In this era.

Only the political workers of the Eighth Route Army have such strong organizational capabilities, whether it is the US or British army.

Oh! Sorry, the British army stretched their hips too much, so I won’t talk about it anymore.

Whether it is the US military or the Japanese army, they cannot organize all the people to carry out an activity so quickly.

Maybe the Japanese army could, but that was to suppress and intimidate through killing, so that's why it was there, but it wouldn't be that efficient.

The Soviet army can do that. At least the Soviet army during World War II was very good at ideological work.

In any case, when Chen Shanhe's first confrontation with the Japanese army in Qinglongshan Town was fired, all the people in the actual control circle he drew were ready. They could, at any time, in a

After the order was given, he quickly went underground.

The road from Tongliao to Qinglongshan Town is not very long, so the artillery position preset by Chen Shanhe can well cover the enemy's path forward.

To be honest, the range of the tank gun is far worse than that of the Type 94 75 mountain gun, and it is also far worse than the four Type 91 105 mm caliber field guns captured in the 130th independent mixed brigade.

Far away.

At the artillery position in Chenshanhe, the cars seized from the Japanese were always ready. As long as the hidden observation posts on the front line discovered that Japanese aircraft were flying in, or the Japanese artillery group was preparing to counterattack, the cars would be turned upside down at any time to fire the cannons.

Hang it up and transport it away.

The Japanese tanks will not just rush over like this. To put it bluntly, they are the backing of the infantry division in front.

When the infantry division in front fails to advance effectively, they will attack as a heavy hammer to penetrate the opponent's defensive formation. This is their role, instead of just pushing the tanks straight through at the beginning.

Therefore, the heavy artillery position prepared by Chen Shanhe did not sit blankly in the wilderness waiting for the Japanese planes to bomb it. Instead, it was camouflaged in advance, and just the cut trees were inserted into it, and many people, young and old, were inserted into it.

They are all playing tactics, and their hearts are dirty.

Just look at who is more evil-hearted compared to the two Japanese division commanders and Chen Shanhe.

Air force bombing has become the standard before the Japanese attack. Frontline positions have already suffered casualties due to the Japanese bombing, because some positions have to be defended.

But almost always at key points, there were few defenders and few casualties, but there were casualties after all.

"It is impossible to fight without casualties. This is still within our ability to bear!" Sun Tiansheng said.

The Japanese armored group came from Tongliao and happened to encounter the strongest team from Chen Shanhe.

Chen Shanhe has three battalions of more than 3,000 veterans, namely the first battalion of more than 1,000 men, and two reconnaissance battalions of the original Second Independent Regiment.

If you include the newly recruited troops, it will be much more, several times that of the veterans.

But the only ones who are really good at it are the veterans of those three battalions.

Such veterans, whether they are the first battalion from the Special Operations Regiment or the two reconnaissance battalions from the Second Independent Regiment, are the best in the military. The death of every veteran will make Chen Shanhe feel heartbroken.

But this was unavoidable on the battlefield. The Japanese army's fierce aerial bombardment wasted too many bombs in the Qinglong Mountains where not many people showed up.

The Japanese infantry division's attack still encountered strong resistance at the key point of Qinglong Mountain.

Mortars and grenades are weapons that both the enemy and ourselves like to use. It is best to use them lightly. Especially in the 1st Battalion of the Special Operations Regiment, the soldiers most like to use mortars without brackets.

They have matured to the point where they can hit the target so quickly just by holding it with their hands.

After firing, you can carry the barrel back to the cave, but if you shoot too many, more than five rounds, you may not even be able to hold the barrel.

From this aspect, the attacking Japanese army suffered more than the defending Eighth Route Army.

So the Japanese lost one and a half squadrons in one hour's attack.

Although for an infantry division of nearly 30,000 people, the loss of only one and a half squadrons was acceptable, the results they achieved were minimal.

The machine gun position dug into the mountain is not afraid of any projectile bombardment at all, but when fired from above, it has a good view.

The opponent's resistance was not too fierce, but the position they occupied was too disgusting for the army to pass.

If you want to get over, you must bulldoze the opponent's current resistance positions. Aircraft bombing will not work. Only close-range artillery fire is effective, and you can accurately hit the firepower points of those positions.

An army with faith after having combat experience is very scary!

Just like in the original history, south of the Yalu River, a regiment of the world's most powerful country at that time was blocked by a company of our army on the top of a hill and couldn't get through.

It was useless whether it was planes or artillery that almost flattened the mountain. In the end, it was our company that ran out of ammunition and food and held the position for four days before taking the initiative to withdraw from the position, so that the enemy could leave.

Now, in the special operations battalion that Chen Shanhe placed in front of him, he had actually given up his strengths and used his weaknesses to fight.

This was Chen Shanhe's intention.

Du Chengcai, the commander of the first battalion, still remembers what he said at that time: "This battalion is a gathering of the elites of the entire army. Since it is an elite, it must not only be able to special operations, but also be good at positional offensive and defensive warfare!"

The most important thing is that I need you to withstand the first wave of Japanese attacks, so that you can use this wave of Japanese soldiers to slowly train these soldiers we have just recruited.

The reason why you are asked to withstand the first wave of attacks is to let these newly recruited soldiers see that the Japanese army is not terrible. As long as there are reasonable positions and reasonable tactics, you can withstand their attack and defeat their arrogance.

Being arrogant is actually not difficult!”

For Chen Shanhe, is it difficult to defeat the Japanese from these two divisions?

It is not difficult at all for Chen Shanhe, but if he does not train the soldiers and let them fight battle after battle, the Northeast will still be the fat in the mouth of the Soviet army.

So he needs to train his troops, and the steady stream of Japanese troops is the target of his training.

Now Du Chengcai of the 1st Battalion of the Special Operations Regiment is the kind of person he wants to show off to other soldiers.

Du Chengcai also understood that he had a heavy responsibility, so he fought very shrewdly. He was a master of special operations, and special operations must consider all weaknesses.

And he looks at his position from the enemy's perspective, finds all the weaknesses he can find, improves them, finds all the places he can exploit, and strengthens them.

And because the place was too small, even though the Japanese army had an infantry division of nearly 30,000 people, it was impossible for him to invest that much if they were to invest it all at once.

The Japanese army attacked one regiment after another, which was a tactic of adding fuel to the fire.

For Du Chengcai, he took advantage of the terrain to attack the Japanese army. The most fearless thing was the refueling tactic.

With Chen Shanhe here, or with the captures from previous battles, Du Chengcai is not afraid of the Japanese army at all now, either in terms of equipment or the military quality of his personnel.

In the depths of the mountains, there are enough weapons and equipment stored deep in each cave entrance. You can replace them after you finish them.

For a full day and night, the Japanese army fought miserably, losing one regiment but making no progress.

Du Chengcai's battle was also very miserable. His battalion only had nine companies, but he had already lost one company.
