As time goes by, more and more Japanese invaders enter Dawangou.
The terrain here is very dangerous, with several twists and turns. If the people are densely packed, it can accommodate 6,000 Japanese soldiers without any problem.
Only more than 3,000 Japanese came, and the length of the Japanese team would only account for half of the entire length of the canyon.
This means that half of the Eighth Route Army troops in ambush have no fight.
However, Li Yunlong was sure to kill a whole table of guests, let alone half a table of guests.
If you kill half the table of guests, you probably won't even need a reserve team.
In addition to the main battle plan, Li Yunlong prepared a total of three sets of preparations. The second set of preparations was a strategy in which the Japanese only came half way.
That is to put all the Japs in completely, and then fire when the leading Japs are about the same distance from the canyon exit and the trailing troops are about the same distance from the canyon entrance.
The advantage of fighting like this is that there is no need to deliberately cut off the head and tail. The enemy, whether they are the leading troops or the tail troops, have to run far to reach the entrance and exit of the canyon if they want to escape.
Eighth Route Army soldiers have been ambushed everywhere in the canyons on both sides. This distance is the road to death for the Japanese.
In the field of vision of the telescope, Li Yunlong saw that the Japanese were all within the ambush circle, and that the leading and trailing troops had reached their expected positions.
He walked to the phone in person, picked it up, and said firmly: "Fire!"
After giving the order, Li Yunlong walked back to the observation window of the headquarters and raised his telescope to look.
"Bah!"
A few seconds later, a red flare shot into the sky.
The bomb-dropping teams of the ambush troops on both sides of the canyon jumped up and threw the grenades in their hands towards the road.
Densely packed large tumors, cantaloupe grenades, and border-made grenades whizzed past, like a flock of sparrows flying across the sky.
Boom boom, boom boom boom, boom boom...
In an instant, the grenade exploded in the air or landed on the road, and the sound of short and continuous explosions was deafening.
The flying shrapnel raged with the breath of death, and the panicked Japanese soldiers could not find a safe corner.
The soldiers of the three infantry regiments are well prepared. Each bombardier is equipped with at least 20 grenades, and ordinary soldiers also have at least 3 grenades.
The bombardier continued to drop bombs continuously, and many Japanese soldiers were directly hit by several grenades at the same time, and their heads were blown apart.
Half the length of the canyon road was instantly enveloped in fireballs and smoke within a dozen seconds.
From the perspective of the New Regiment Headquarters, countless orange-red mushroom smoke clouds are constantly rising from the highway.
"What a big scene!" Looking at this scene, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but marvel.
Next to Commander Li, Chu Yunfei witnessed the battle scene in which the Japanese were beaten and had no power to resist, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked by the power created by the war.
The scene in the original play where more than 3,000 border-made hand grenades were thrown at Li Jiapo was completely incomparable to the scene before us.
In less than a minute, the ambushing soldiers threw at least tens of thousands of grenades of various types at the Japanese.
It wasn't over yet, the sound of mortars flying through the air was drowned out by the explosion of grenades, roaring down towards the Japanese on the road.
An explosion louder than a grenade soon came.
This is still the case without using mountain artillery, because once the battle starts, the mountain artillery cannot modify the shooting parameters, and it is easy to hurt your own soldiers.
The reason why Li Yunlong brought the mountain artillery was to see if there was a chance for a head-on artillery battle with the Japanese.
Let the Japanese feel the fear of being completely suppressed by artillery fire.
As the bombardier used grenades to throw the Japanese into chaos, the Eighth Route Army soldiers raised their weapons and opened fire on the Japanese on the road.
"Captain Chu is right." Zhao Gang nodded, "It is indeed a big scene."
However, Li Yunlong kept his eyes calm and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.
The battlefield situation often changes rapidly, and if you are not careful, the Japanese may seize the opportunity to counterattack, so you must be ready for the reserve team to attack at any time.
In fact, in Commander Li's military career of more than ten years, being able to observe and command such a large battle from this perspective has set a new record for him.
The remaining Japs who were amidst the explosion and a hail of bullets finally came to their senses, and under the command of the Japs officers, they howled and fought back, showing no fear on their faces.
The heavy rain of bullets fired at each other from both sides left the roads and slopes covered in dust.
The Japs' marksmanship was very powerful. As the machine guns were set up, Eighth Route Army soldiers were constantly shot and fell down during the Japs' counterattacks.
However, the equipment of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment is not inferior to that of the Japs, while the equipment of the soldiers of the New Regiment far exceeds that of the Japs.
Some Japanese soldiers even countercharged with rifles in hand, but the next moment they were cut off by bullets from an oncoming large-caliber heavy machine gun.
At such a close distance, with a large number of machine guns, sufficient ammunition, and being attacked from two sides from a high position, it is simply a nightmare for the Japanese.
The soldiers carried out Li Yunlong's orders very well, using grenades, artillery shells and bullets to kill the Japanese as much as possible, and finally got off the road to collect corn.
"Brigade commander, call the brigade commander!"
At this time, the 9th Brigade Chief of Staff Yoneoka Saburo Ozuo was holding the receiver and microphone in the armored vehicle and shouting loudly.
Through the observation gap of the armored vehicle, the bodies of Japanese soldiers were already lying on the road in front and behind.
The battle continued, and dense bullets hit the armored vehicle with a crackling sound. Saburo Yoneoka's face turned green with fear.
Because Yoneoka Saburo personally sent a search team to Dawangou to search last night, and two squadrons of Japanese soldiers passed by in trucks in the morning.
And because the brigade commander was in a hurry, Saburo Yoneoka didn't send scouts to search Dawangou at all. In his subconscious, this place was absolutely safe. He never dreamed that there was an Eighth Route Army ambush here.
"Migang-kun, have you arrived at Hanjia Village so soon?"
Koshiki Toranosuke's voice came over the radio, and when he heard the intensive gunfire, he thought the troops had arrived at Hanjia Village.
Saburo Yoneoka sounded anxious: "Commander of the brigade, we were attacked by the Eighth Route Army in Dagou Bay. Please ask for tactical guidance!"
"Nani?" Koshio Toranosuke's tone changed, "You were attacked at Dagou Bay? How many troops are there on the Eighth Route Army? What's the firepower?"
Saburo Yoneoka casually listened to the sound of gunfire outside: "The Eighth Route Army has at least 10,000 people. The firepower is very strong. We can hardly withstand it. Please ask the brigade commander for immediate tactical guidance and tactical guidance!"
A rocket struck and hit the armored vehicle Saburo Yoneoka was riding in. The armored vehicle turned into a ball of fire amid the explosion, and then a cloud of smoke rose up.
…
"Papa, sizzle, sizzle..."
Huting Stronghold, Japanese 9th Brigade Headquarters.
Along with a sizzling noise, Saburo Yoneoka's green indicator light slowly dimmed on the radio communication machine in front of Koshiki Toranosuke.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, it seems that Chief of Staff Yoneoka's communication machine was damaged."
The communications staff officer said from the side.
"Baga crushes the road!"
After hearing this, Kosei Toranosuke's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Saburo Yoneoka should be in the armored vehicle at this time, and the communication machine should also be in the armored vehicle.
If the communication machine is damaged, then there is only one possibility: the armored vehicle was blown up.
There is a high probability that Yoneoka Saburo Ozuo has been broken into pieces.
The battlefield observation group was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. Toranosuke Koshio didn't pay much attention to it, but when something happened to Saburo Yoneoka and the soldiers of the 9th Brigade, he was really distressed.
After all, they are his subordinates, equal to the meat on the back of his hand, and there are more than 3,000 of them, which is equivalent to an entire arm.
Koshiki Toranosuke's face was gloomy and terrifying, and his tone was cold and stern: "Order, all soldiers must assemble immediately!"
His adjutant immediately ran out of the communications team tent to assemble the troops.
Subsequently, Koshiki Toranosuke ordered the communications troops to switch the radio to the same channel as the special agent team and the battlefield observation group.
Koshiki Toranosuke took the receiver and shouted: "The 9th Brigade is calling Yamamoto-kun!"
"This is the special agent team." The voice of the special agent team's communications officer Koro Goro came from the receiver.
"Haga, this is the commander of the 9th Brigade, Koshiki Toranosuke, ask Yamamoto Kazuki to call me immediately!"
"Hi!" Xiaolu Goro said hurriedly, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please wait a moment!"
Before Kazuki Yamamoto arrived, Naoomi Hattori started to express his gratitude.
"Yue Shengjun, why hasn't the main force of the 9th Brigade arrived yet? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Koshiki Toranosuke ignored Hattori Naoomi and continued to wait for Yamamoto Kazuki.
To be continued...
