The battle outside the mountain was raging, and a Japanese brigade actually broke into the hinterland of the base without fear. This is intolerable under no circumstances.
After the end of the second phase of the raid, various units of the Eighth Route Army turned to the battle to counterattack the enemy's invasion of the base area. Due to the enemy's rapid response, loopholes appeared in the counterattack, and the Yamazaki Brigade actually broke into and discovered the arsenal.
The Eighth Route Army headquarters was furious. What did it mean that a Japanese brigade was able to run rampant in the base? The Japanese underestimated the capabilities of the Eighth Route Army, and this would definitely bring considerable difficulties to future counterattacks. This Japanese brigade must be annihilated and let
The Japs know the capabilities of the Eighth Route Army. In this way, the Japs will not dare to act rashly in the future. And if the Japs attack as a unit, there will be an obvious shortage of troops. The Eighth Route Army will be able to exert the power of mobile warfare behind enemy lines and move in the gaps between the enemy.
Strike through the enemy.
As the Eighth Route Army issued orders one after another, nearby Eighth Route Army troops quickly gathered here. The peripheral troops had blocked the Japanese reinforcements, and the Yamazaki Brigade was also surrounded by several regiments of troops.
However, at this time, the enemy's strength was strong, and the headquarters demanded a quick victory, which made the encirclement and annihilation troops face considerable difficulties. The Yamazaki Battalion was an elite force of the enemy. Although they went deep, their soldiers fought fiercely, and they had supplies in the air.
The supplies and firepower are quite fierce.
Yamazaki also had great combat and defense capabilities. He led his troops to occupy a hillside. Behind and on both sides of the hillside were wide trenches, and in front was a low slope. Here, hundreds of meters down, you could see the open space at a glance, and you could only see it.
The attacking troops here are completely exposed to the enemy's sight and firepower.
Not only that, the soldiers of the Yamazaki Battalion also showed strong and well-trained fighting qualities. They quickly established a deep defense under the crisis of being annihilated. trenches were spread across the top of the slope like spider webs, and according to the height,
A dense fire network has been established, and machine gun positions and mortar positions are also in place.
Under such circumstances, the attacks of several regiments of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army were all repelled. Although the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army launched a brave attack with a fearless spirit, they lacked powerful fire support to suppress it. Under the fierce firepower of the enemy
Next, batches of soldiers fell, and hundreds of gray figures fell densely a few hundred meters in front of the position.
The frontline commander felt heartbroken, and the division commander also felt heartbroken. He asked the deputy commander to give up the attack on the enemy, and it would be better to lure the enemy to a favorable terrain for an ambush. However, he was angrily rebuked by the deputy commander.
If the 129th Division cannot defeat a Yamazaki Battalion, then what use is it? It is better to cancel the designation. Whether it is for future counterattacks in the base area and deterring the Japanese, or to establish the Eighth Route Army's combat capability, in short, this Yamazaki Battalion must be eliminated.
, no matter how big a sacrifice it is.
The order was passed to Chen Geng, the commander of the 386th Brigade. Brigadier Chen also felt a headache. He decided to concentrate the artillery fire of the entire brigade to provide fire cover for the attacking troops. However, the troops on this small hillside could not be deployed. At most, only one regiment could be deployed.
Launch a strong frontal attack.
At this time, the chief of staff on the side suggested: "Why don't you let Su Yuan go up and give it a try? This guy fought well some time ago, and he is really good at fighting tough battles."
"Yes, this boy has a lot of hard guys in his hands, let him go up and try it." Brigadier Chen responded immediately.
After receiving the order, Su Yuan immediately led his troops to take over the offensive troops on the front line and made preparations quickly. In front of the position, the terrain and battle situation in front of him also made Su Yuan feel the pressure.
If you want to break through the enemy's fire blockade and break through this open area of several hundred meters, it seems that you will have to pay a considerable price, and you may not be able to succeed in one fell swoop, and taking turns to attack is absolutely necessary.
Su Yuan observed that the power of the enemy's mortars was obvious. The enemy was at a high position, and his own mortars were completely at a disadvantage. They would be destroyed by the enemy before they could reach them, not to mention that the number and shells were far higher than the enemy's.
It is no match for the opponent, and the oil barrel mortar invented by Sanbao is even less powerful...
"It would be great if the Three Treasures were here." Su Yuan thought of the Three Treasures again at this time. He was the most thoughtful and might be able to come up with a good idea.
