789 Breaking through the front line fortifications
The news reached the rear temporary headquarters, and Japanese commander Yamauchi learned that Yan Sanfu actually led the guard battalion to take the lead and kill towards the frontline combat area.
There was a moment of astonishment on the old devil's face.
He sighed with emotion: "It seems that we have greatly wronged Yan Sanfu. This is indeed a general of the Imperial Association Army who loyally serves our Empire of Japan."
As for the frontline fortifications, after Yan Sanfu and his adjutant Wang Dacong discussed the countermeasures, they had already handed over the secret orders.
The pretentious Yan Sanfu arrived with the guard battalion, and there was loud gunfire.
Mixed with it was Yan Sanfu’s roar:
"Brothers, let's all fight out together!"
"Hit me hard until I die!"
It's a pity that the momentum is huge, but the thunder is loud and the rain is small.
The officers of the 8th Mixed Brigade, who had received secret orders a long time ago, followed the shouts with great enthusiasm.
When it came time to actually fight, they hid in the trenches and no one dared to show their heads.
As for ordinary puppet soldiers, let alone them.
No matter what the officers shout, as long as it makes us lose our heads, it is all nonsense.
With this little military salary, no one is willing to play with the Eighth Route Army.
But he talked about the other end of the fortification.
Those currently facing Yan Sanfu's 8th Mixed Brigade are just some local troops.
Of course, due to the constant battles big and small with the independent regiment.
Even if you just drink some soup, the local troops near the independent regiment are developing pretty well.
At least everyone has a uniform of military uniforms. At first glance, they really look like the main combat force of the Eighth Route Army.
In addition, the Strategic Camouflage Bureau of the Independent Regiment communicated with local troops in advance before the start of this operation.
After the battle started, local comrades blocked the advancing 8th Mixed Brigade along the way and launched a fire attack.
The camouflage weapons such as imitation heavy machine guns and imitation artillery prepared by the Camouflage Bureau were placed on the fortifications in advance.
Let the puppet troops on the opposite side detect them at any time.
In addition, the equipment level of the local troops in the independent regiment defense area is not bad at all, including machine guns and artillery.
The puppet soldiers of the 8th Mixed Brigade were just pretending to show the little devils behind them.
After a confrontation between the two sides, the puppet troops suffered certain casualties.
When Yan Sanfu came, he was very high-spirited, but when he arrived, he became a shouter.
A few random charges were organized, and hundreds of puppet soldiers rushed less than fifty meters, then abandoned dozens of corpses in disgrace and quickly returned to the fortifications.
The commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade used a telescope to investigate, and his expression changed with fright:
"Brigade, something is wrong. The opponent is definitely the main combat force of the independent regiment. Look, there are at least a dozen heavy machine guns in one glance.
There are definitely a lot of artillery pieces. We don’t have artillery reinforcements like the imperial army. It’s not an option to continue fighting like this!”
Yan Sanfu heard this and after the investigation, he quickly called the communications platoon leader: "You personally send someone to the headquarters and report the situation to Colonel Yamauchi.
Just say that we encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
The opponent's firepower is fierce, and the number of machine guns and artillery far exceeds that of our Imperial Army.
I have organized no less than ten charges, and suffered heavy casualties in the front, but I was unable to break through the Eighth Route Army's position."
"Yes, Brigade!" the communications platoon leader responded.
After the signal trooper left, during continued observation, the regiment commander soon discovered another clue: "Brigade, we seem to have been fooled by the Eighth Route Army.
Those pieces of equipment that look like heavy machine guns and artillery really look like the same thing at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see that there is no firepower at all. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army used it to scare us?"
Yan Sanfu scolded: "You fucking idiot, no matter whether he is real or fake, if we don't exaggerate the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, can the little devil allow us to withdraw?"
"Originally, I was thinking of converting all the light machine guns in the Eighth Route Army into heavy machine guns, and all the grenade launchers into larger caliber artillery pieces."
"It's just that the little devil is not blind. Now that the Eighth Route Army has disguised itself, we can just go with the flow. Even if something goes wrong, the war is urgent. Isn't it okay if we misunderstood?"
"Tell the brothers, give me a good beating. If you don't want to die, no one can put their head out of the fortifications. Just shoot, even if it's to shoot birds from the sky!"
"Yes!" The leader of the regiment suddenly came to his senses and responded quickly.
After the news about Yan Sanfu reached the rear wing headquarters.
As expected, Yamauchi did not have too much doubt. After all, he had already preconceived the idea that Yan Sanfu was loyal to the Japanese Empire.
In addition, the sound of gunfire in the frontline combat area is indeed extremely intense.
The old devil looked over with a telescope. In the smoke-filled front combat area, the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army of the 8th Mixed Brigade showed no sign of any weakening in their offensive firepower.
But every attack seemed to be easily repelled by the Eighth Route Army."
The Japanese adjutant yelled at the side: "Your Excellency, Commander, these Imperial Alliance troops are really incompetent. Look at the attacking soldiers. They are all greedy for life and afraid of death. Even before the enemy's firepower has covered them, they have already fled back in fear."
."
"The Imperial Alliance Army is not doing well in combat and deserves to die."
Old Guizi Yamauchi smiled: "If the Imperial Alliance Army could fight bravely, it would not become a subsidiary of our army."
"What the Empire of Japan needs is not their ability, but their loyalty.
Now you can scold the Imperial Army for being incompetent, but you cannot scold the Imperial Army for being disloyal."
When the Japanese woo the puppet troops, they just want to use China to control China and use the Imperial Army to maintain law and order in the occupied areas.
In regular operations like this, the Japs have never placed their hopes on the puppet troops.
"That's almost it. The Eighth Route Army's ambush area has been completely exposed. Notify Yan Sanfu that his troops can be withdrawn and replaced by our warriors from the Japanese Empire."
"At the same time, notify the artillery unit, and after locking the enemy's specific coordinates, support forward operations with firepower!"
"Hi!"

...When he withdrew from the front-line fortifications, Yan Sanfu became cruel and took out his gun again. This time he held it in his left hand and fired a shot into his right arm.
There was a bang.
Adjutant Wang Dacong said with sincere admiration: "Master, you are really a ruthless person!"
Yan Sanfu endured the pain, but with a proud look on his face.
"What do you know, kid? You have to do a complete show, and the trick is always the best. This time we fought bravely, and I was injured on the front line again. Do you think the Japanese have the nerve to embarrass me?"
"Sir, we are brothers who share weal and woe, why don't you give me a shot too?" Wang Dacong said to show his loyalty.
"That's a great feeling!"
Without saying a word, Yan Sanfu raised his gun and shot Wang Dacong in the arm.
Ah——
After a scream, he touched his blood-stained arm and felt the severe pain. His intestines almost turned green with regret.
I have a bad mouth...
……
Seeing that the puppet troops that originally attacked retreated, all the fortifications were replaced by Japanese soldiers.
With the help of a higher hillside, he could see the artillery positions being built behind the Japanese from a distance. The captain of the district team analyzed:
"The two Japs retreated and were replaced by the little Japs. It seems that the Japs are ready to take action.
Before the Japanese infantry charges, they will definitely conduct artillery bombardment in advance and notify the comrades to retreat immediately and enter the second-line blocking position."
"Yes!"
Boom——
Just after all the comrades in the district team evacuated from the blocking position, the entire rear position was flooded by Japanese artillery.
After the artillery bombardment, the infantry charged.
After the sound of artillery ceased, the Japanese forward troops launched a direct attack.
Ten minutes later, the Japanese army fully occupied the first-line defensive position previously stationed by the comrades of the district team.
When the news arrived at the headquarters, Lao Guizi Shanuchi's face glowed with joy.
"Xinxi, it seems that the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, which has been rumored to be difficult to deal with recently, is nothing more than that."
The adjutant echoed from the side: "What your Excellency Commander said is exactly that on the frontal battlefield, the troops of the Imperial Japanese Empire are invincible. In the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, our Thirty-sixth Division only took one morning to capture it.
Eleven positions of the national army.
Five of these positions were captured by our troops.
What we are facing now are just some remaining beggar teams in the occupied areas."
The two old devils who have never really fought against Kong Jie, you said to me...
