"Old Ding, that is a coalition." Li Yunlong reminded.
He wanted Ding Wei to understand that it was not a small squad or a large group of troops, but a fully armed regiment.
"What happened to one alliance? If there is another alliance, I can deal with it." Ding Wei curled his lips and said.
"If the little devil only sends one regiment to conquer me, I will definitely scold my mother. This is just sending beggars. Who can feed only one regiment?"
Li Yunlong said: "That's your 28th Brigade. It's not like you don't know what's going on with my new regiment."
He wanted to say that although the New Regiment had developed into a relatively strong combat force, it would still be difficult for the New Regiment to fight against a regiment.
If there is only one brigade of troops, Li Yunlong will naturally not take it seriously.
"Old Ding, open your mouth and let me see your teeth." Kong Jie took a step forward and said: "You are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue. Good guy, you don't care about a team?"
"That's right, I wish the Japanese would send less people to provoke me." Cheng Xiazi said, "You don't have to worry if the troops are not in your face."
Ding Wei did not answer the call. The Japs made so much noise, so there must be some conspiracy.
"Old Ding, we have agreed before that you can't watch the show and ignore my new group!" Li Yunlong said.
Just as he was talking, another battle report came in. It was the Japanese troops pressing near the New Second Regiment.
"Are they attacking my new second regiment?" Kong Jie's eyes lit up and he asked, "Tell me, how many people did the Japanese send?"
Xu Hu glanced at the information and said: "A brigade is just an infantry brigade."
Li Yunlong said nothing, but Kong Jie was the first to become anxious.
"What do you mean, a brigade?" Kong Jie asked hurriedly: "Just the strength of a brigade?"
"That's right, just one brigade." Xu Hu confirmed again.
"Hey, damn, what do you mean, you stupid little devil!" Kong Jie was so angry that he said, "It takes a regiment to fight against the new first regiment, and it takes a whole brigade to fight against my new second regiment.
Who do these little sons of bitches look down on? A whole team is playing here!"
Kong Jie was furious. In his opinion, although the New Second Regiment was damaged, it was still only half as good as the New First Regiment.
Why would this stupid Japanese use a large force to attack the New Second Regiment? Isn't it obvious that he doesn't take the New Second Regiment into consideration and looks down upon him?
Kong Jie jumped to his feet angrily and kept talking about the quintessence of Chinese culture.
The cadres kept suppressing their laughter.
"Old Kong, do you see that the Japanese are treating you like a soft persimmon?" Li Yunlong said happily: "It took a regiment to beat me, and a large group to beat you.
What do you mean, kid? It's obvious that you look down on your new second regiment. Aren't you guys always arguing with me about which one of us has the strongest and best troops?
Now you know, I don’t need to say more, the different forces sent by the devils can already explain the problem."
"No, I can't bear this tone. This stupid devil looks down on my new second regiment, and dares to treat me like a soft persimmon. Can't you really treat me like my new second regiment?"
"Okay, what are you two arguing about here?" Ding Wei shouted: "You two are playing house here as children, can you argue about this kind of thing?
Don't care how many people come here this time, since he doesn't like your New Second Regiment, we have to let them understand that the New Second Regiment is not a soft persimmon, and they can do whatever they want to do to you.
We are going to make these devils pay a price, and we are going to win this battle at the minimum cost, so that they know they can never underestimate any of our troops."
"Damn, I just feel unbalanced." Kong Jie said a little depressed.
It's okay to be looked down upon by the Japanese, but this time they had to do a big sweep, so they sent a large force to their side.
If this matter were placed on Ding Wei, Kong Jie would feel more balanced, but if it was placed on Li Yunlong, Kong Jie would be very unhappy.
How could Li Yunlong's new regiment be so virtuous and capable as to make the Japanese attack them so ruthlessly that they actually dispatched a regiment of troops?
"Just be satisfied. In terms of paper strength, your new second regiment is not as good as the new first regiment." Ding Wei said unceremoniously: "Besides, you don't have much record.
They almost made dumplings for you last time. It's strange that they can look down on you, so it's completely reasonable for them to despise you, but since he doesn't look down on you.
It is also an excellent opportunity for us. It is our chance to win. If you want to fight a tough battle, just be honest and obedient.
Let’s see how I deal with these Japs. After I finish dealing with them, we can go support other brother troops and chase after these Japs!”
"good!"
Kong Jie nodded excitedly and said, "I'll listen to you. Let's deal with these Japs first. After beating them, we can poke the other Japs in the assholes!"
News from the front line kept coming, and Ding Wei was also methodical, issuing combat orders according to the different situations of each regiment.
The orders were issued one after another, which surprised the cadres.
Because Ding Wei knew their troops very well, Ding Wei formulated different tactics according to the different capabilities of the combat troops.
This was not an advance arrangement, but a temporary operation. The cadres looked at Ding Wei a little differently.
Of course, the command cannot be comprehensive. Orders are only given to the regiment headquarters, and the specific operations still depend on their individuals.
Ding Wei's order to the new group was also very simple, just keep it close and fight.
As the saying goes, when you scold someone, you must first curse your mother, and when you catch a thief, you must first capture the king. To deal with these devils, Ding Wei's tactics are relatively simple.
Fight the Japanese commander first, then their machine gunners and grenade launchers.
As for the artillery, at most they are grenades, mortars and other artillery. According to the Japanese combat habits, heavy artillery should still be on the road now, and they cannot encounter it.
In addition, under Ding Wei's order, the new regiment took the time to lay out a minefield about 50 meters long.
This tactic is the best choice at the moment. The enemy's habit is to bombard the infantry with artillery, and then charge with artillery after the infantry has charged, back and forth, over and over again.
Placing the Japs close to him will not only maximize the firepower, but also cause maximum damage to them.
Naturally, Ding Wei doesn't need to explain these nonsense. They are all veterans in the battlefield. You can understand what Ding Wei is thinking at a glance.
The battle turned out just as Ding Wei expected, with several consecutive Japanese attacks being crushed.
The New Regiment relied on the terrain of the base area to repel several Japanese attacks. Instead of taking advantage, they lost a lot of their own firepower.
Many officers such as squad leaders and corps commanders were killed, and many units that could be used to suppress fire, such as machine gunners and grenade launchers, also fell.
Especially the minefield caused the Japanese to suffer a lot. Once the engineers came to clear the mines, they would inevitably be taken care of by the Eighth Route Army soldiers.
After going back and forth several times, Lei didn't mark many marks, but instead fell many engineers.
The commander of this unit knew that he could not continue like this, so he immediately used the simplest and most direct method.
Use artillery such as grenades and mortars to bomb minefields and carry out forcible blasting.
News of the Japanese bombing of the minefield quickly spread back to the temporary command post.
Ding Wei was not surprised by the situation. He sat on the chair calmly and even drank a cup of tea leisurely.
The same is true for the rest of the troops. They got a good start. They faced fewer troops, which were basically squad and squadron levels, mixed with some Japanese troops from the Imperial Association Army.
Because their troops were relatively scattered, the Japanese troops did not concentrate their troops.
From the Japs' point of view, if it was an Eighth Route Army unit, it would have to use brigade-level troops, so the raid would be meaningless.
This incident actually made Kong Jie feel more balanced.
"Old Ding, we're all in the way, why don't we just go out and have a fight with them." Kong Jie said excitedly.
The head-on attack on the Japanese greatly boosted Kong Jie's confidence.
"Fart, no one is allowed to go out without my order." Ding Wei said in a deep voice, "You are stupid, you don't use a good defensive position, you have to go out and fight the Japanese to the death?
Don’t forget, the Japs’ attack in the morning failed, and they will definitely try to bomb you in the afternoon. If we can get the Japs to enter the village obediently, the Japs will also restrain themselves on artillery.”
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "If we don't let the devils in, wouldn't the gifts I prepared for the devils be wasted?"
"Gift?" Li Yunlong looked a little strange.
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Yes, it's a gift. I prepared a big gift for the Japanese in the village!"
Everyone had strange expressions, wondering what other trick Ding Wei had thought of.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie looked at Ding Wei up and down, thinking about what ideas he could come up with.
During the recent period, Ding Wei would send a message to the regiment headquarters whenever he had something to do, asking him what he wanted to do, but he would remain silent. Could it be that Ding Wei had studied some tactics?
…
New Second Regiment Headquarters.
The captain of the Noda Brigade looked at the village in front of him with a worried expression.
In the previous attack, our troops suffered heavy losses and were blocked by the enemy in front of the village. Although they succeeded in closing in, the group of Eighth Route Army troops hid in the village.
At this moment, Captain Noda was debating whether to enter the village and fight.
This village is like a plaster, nailed to the intersection. It is impossible to bypass this village. Once you choose to take a detour, you will definitely be stolen by the enemy.
But the village was completely quiet, and nothing could be seen at all. Even if the troops were ordered to shoot inside, there would be no reaction inside.
Have they already retreated?
After thinking about Ryozo, Captain Noda finally sent a small team to go in and check the situation inside.
A Japanese infantry squad cautiously approached the village with guns in hand.
Captain Noda couldn't help but bend down, hold up the binoculars, and observe the situation over there. After watching them enter the village safely.
The little devil finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Eighth Route Army inside might have really escaped, otherwise how could they not fight back.
But before he could relax, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the village.
Immediately afterwards, several shrill screams were heard coming from inside.
The sudden explosion scared Captain Noda and almost dropped the telescope in his hand.
"Nani?" Captain Noda quickly raised his telescope and looked towards the village.
The screams were still ringing out, and the smoke was rising high. Team Noda's eyes widened, obviously a little surprised by all this.
But the explosion obviously did not disappear. After a while, explosions sounded one after another, and screams came one after another.
Within the village.
It turned out to be a cheap Japanese soldier who had nothing to do after he was full and insisted on touching a pottery can in the corner.
The Eighth Route Army has always been thrifty and thrifty, so the things that can be thrown on the roadside cannot be ordinary clay pots.
There was a booby trap set up inside, and that cheap little devil just happened to kick it up, triggering the booby trap inside.
The Japanese soldier had one of his legs broken off. He was covering his leg and screaming on the ground. Several Japanese soldiers around him were also thrown to the ground.
The sudden explosion immediately caused chaos among the troops.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"There are enemies, go out and report!"
"Retreat, retreat!"
…
The shrill screams resounded through the Japanese troops. The panicked Japanese soldiers wanted to fight back, but they triggered more booby traps and fell into a trap laid out in advance.
In just this moment, more than ten Japanese soldiers from this small group fell, and the screams of the injured soldiers were irritating their nerves.
When people were knocked to the ground by landmines one after another, and they couldn't see half of them, the Japanese soldiers finally knew they were afraid.
After leaving stumps on the ground, the Japanese soldiers dragged the injured soldiers and fled.
The soldiers hiding in the dark looked at the embarrassment of the Japanese. They were all covering their mouths and snickering, thinking that Captain Ding's trick was good and the Japanese would be blown up like his grandson.
Captain Noda looked at the wounded soldiers all over the ground and was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. No wonder those Tubalu hid in the village. It turned out that there was an ambush inside.
"Your Excellency, Captain, there is a trap in the village. The Eighth Route Army is very cunning. We didn't even see anyone, and the Imperial Army stepped on a mine." The leading team leader said with a sad face.
Captain Noda had a dark face, leaning on his command knife and staring at the village in front of him.
The village is now peaceful again, as if nothing happened.
The vanguard force encountered a trap, which made the captain afraid to make other decisions for a while. He was really worried that if he went in again, he might be ambushed again.
But there is no way around this village. If you want to go deeper, you must clear all the Tubal Road in the village.
The Japanese captain had seen many obstacles on the road and ambushes set up in the village, so he was not surprised by this.
"As you advance along the path, remember not to enter the house or yard at will. The Eighth Route Army is very cunning and there will definitely be an ambush inside!" Captain Noda warned.
After a pause, he warned again: "If you encounter some strange things on the road, don't touch them, they might be traps left by the Eighth Route Army!"
All the Japanese soldiers listened and nodded. There was no need for the captain to say anything, and these Japanese soldiers did not dare to be mean-spirited.
Unfortunately, this ambush was not something they could avoid if they wanted to. After appeasing the morale of the troops, Captain Noda sent his troops to move forward again.
At least find out where the Eighth Route Army is hiding and occupy some villages first.
It's a pity that they had a good idea this time, but concentrating all their troops on the road to the village was more in line with the ambush army's wishes.
I was still thinking that if the Japanese troops were scattered, it would be difficult to deploy their troops.
This time it was better. All we had to do was occupy a high point and use machine guns to block the front and rear. The Japanese soldiers on the village road would definitely be beaten.
After the loss last time, the Japanese soldiers were obviously more cautious this time. Even before entering the village, they were nervously looking at their feet, worried about stepping on another booby trap.
