Seeing that the second step of their plan was completed, Li Yan and Goudan each left their sniper positions, turned to the north of Xishan Mountain and quickly moved back to their own troops. At this time, the Japanese officer who was observing the battle situation had already discovered
The whereabouts of the two large armies, but they did not figure out how these Eighth Route Army soldiers marched to the northern part of Xishan despite the fact that they sent out reconnaissance teams to conduct repeated reconnaissance. The Japanese officer
Thinking of this, he wanted to call the reconnaissance team he sent to question, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't see any trace of the reconnaissance team. When he looked up at the woods on both sides, he found that there was a militia team waving on both sides.
Curious about what was in his hand, the Japanese officer picked up his binoculars and took a closer look. Only then did he realize that what these militia teams were holding were the military uniforms of his own army.
The Japanese officer gritted his teeth with hatred when he saw this. He first observed the woods on both sides for a while, and calculated the approximate distance between the two Eighth Route Army troops and his own troops. Then he turned around and approached the position of the heavy artillery. Waiting until he was away from these three
When the heavy cannon was less than a hundred meters away, he stopped and hurriedly
Then he quickly turned around, faced his large army, drew his saber and waved forward: "A large group of Eighth Route Army troops appeared in the woods on the left and right sides of the Western Mountain. Now I order you to immediately turn your guns and prepare these two positions.
Artillery attack!" As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the location of the heavy artillery.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yan immediately stopped, leveled his sniper rifle, and fired at the Japs officer who was giving orders. The Japs officer was unable to dodge, and was suddenly shot by a bullet from the woods on the left.
Pierced through the head, killed on the spot
Seeing that the commander was dead, the Japanese troops behind them immediately panicked. Upon seeing this, several Japanese captains immediately stepped forward to stabilize the morale of the troops. Then they turned around and urged the dozens of Japanese soldiers who were turning the direction of the heavy artillery to let them
Speed up.
Seeing this scene, Goudan on the right side of Xishan, together with Li Yan, raised their sniper rifles and killed several Japanese soldiers standing outside. However, this had no effect at all. The Japanese captain saw that the soldiers on the gun emplacement were being attacked.
The Eighth Route Army troops launched a cold gun attack. They hurriedly mobilized the large troops behind them, led the troops to advance to the perimeter of the artillery positions, and then directed the entire troops to shoot into the woods on the left and right sides, hoping to use intensive firepower to suppress the muzzles of the heavy artillery.
The transfer buys time.
Seeing that there was no ambush, the two Eighth Route Army troops quickly rushed out of the woods, preparing to attack the three heavy artillery positions in front of them just like they had stormed the Xiangmashan gun positions before. However, as soon as these Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed out of the woods, they were met with a burst of fire from the Japanese troops.
After firing wildly, the two rows of Eighth Route Army soldiers in front were unable to dodge and fell to the ground screaming. Seeing this, the Eighth Route Army soldiers behind them retreated into the woods.
The Japanese captains responsible for directing the battle saw that the Eighth Route Army troops had withdrawn into the woods, so they also issued an order to stop firing. The Eighth Route Army troops who were waiting for an opportunity in the woods saw that the Japanese troops had stopped shooting, so they organized their troops again.
Get up and prepare to launch a new round of charge, but before they can implement this second charge plan,
He was stopped by Li Yan who was observing by his side. Seeing that the Japanese troops did not find his location, Li Yan came to the team and said: "The Japanese ceasefire this time is only temporary. They are waiting for our second attack."
Charge, if you rush out of the woods recklessly again this time, I'm sure these devils will shoot at you again."
The Eighth Route Army troops who were ready for the second round of charge gave up the idea after Li Yan said this. Seeing that the troops behind him had completely stabilized, Li Yan took up his sniper rifle and aimed at the gun emplacement to observe for a while, and then shot towards him.
Several Eighth Route Army soldiers nearby asked for a large number of grenades and tied them into a bundle, and then groped along the woods toward the Japanese artillery position. They did not stop until they confirmed that their position was the shortest distance from the Japanese artillery position.
Continue to observe.
After a while, Li Yan discovered that the Japanese troops' defensive line had only reached the position of the gun emplacement, and did not extend further to the south. Seeing this, Li Yan had an idea in his mind, and he first moved a little southward.
, and then issued an order to fire to the troops in the north direction. The Eighth Route Army troops nearby saw
Then they all raised their rifles to the sky and pulled the triggers continuously. The Japanese troops thought that the Eighth Route Army troops hiding in the woods were about to make a second charge, so they focused all their attention on the Eighth Route Army headquarters in the northwest woods.
The troops above did not pay any attention to Li Yan, who was quietly approaching the east side of the woods.
Seeing that the matter was done, Li Yan stretched out his right hand to pick up the large bundle of grenades on the ground, and then quickly rushed out of the woods. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand, first pulled the string of one of the grenades, and then pulled the grenade with his right hand.
Holding it firmly, he threw it hard towards the location of the Japanese artillery position. Upon seeing this, the Japanese soldiers next to the artillery position immediately leaned down, and Li Yan also took advantage of this.
Opportunity returned to the woods. Just when Li Yan stepped into the woods, the grenade that landed in the Japs pile exploded violently, blowing all the dozens of Japs soldiers nearby into the air.
At the same time, the three heavy cannons on this emplacement were overturned and stuck upside down on the ground. Looking at this scene, they would not be able to be moved for a few hours.
Before the Japanese could react, Li Yan had already returned to the team and issued the order for a general attack. After hearing this, the troops behind him quickly picked up their rifles and rushed down from the woods. Qin Mo in the woods opposite saw this
The scene followed closely, and the second group of Eighth Route Army troops were pulled to the bottom of the hillside and met with Li
Together with Li Yan and Qin Mo's troops, the Japanese troops of less than 4,000 people were surrounded tightly. At first, this group of Japanese soldiers could still raise their guns to fight back, but as Li Yan and Qin Mo's troops pressed forward step by step, this group of Japanese soldiers
The Japanese soldiers had to attach bayonets to the Sanba Gai in their hands and prepare for hand-to-hand combat with the Eighth Route Army troops in front of them.
When Li Yan saw this, he didn't hesitate. He immediately stretched out his right hand to greet the troops behind him, and ordered all the Eighth Route Army soldiers to mount bayonets and join the battle. After all the troops behind him mounted bayonets, Li Yan pulled out the tactical weapon from his waist.
The dagger was aimed at the Japanese soldier in front of him, and then a side kick kicked the Japanese soldier who was about to attack him on his left hand away, and then he tightened his grip on the tactics in his hand.
Dagger led the team and pounced on the Japanese troops in front of them. The Japanese troops could resist for a while at first, but then they gradually lost their momentum. Li Yan and Qin Mo saw that the Japanese troops had completely lost their confidence, so they rushed straight to this group.
The Japanese soldiers slashed and killed them in front of them. After a while, the size of the Japanese soldiers gradually shrank. In the end, only two Japanese soldiers were left in the entire Japanese army, stubbornly resisting.
Seeing that the defeat of the Japanese troops was certain, Li Yan led his troops to surround the two Japanese soldiers. However, the two Japanese soldiers did not surrender their guns. Instead, they reloaded bullets into their rifles and prepared to fire the last few shots. Li Yan
Seeing that something was wrong, Yan rushed towards a Japanese soldier in front of him.
The knife pierced his throat. Upon seeing this, the Japanese soldiers behind him hurriedly raised their rifles and pointed them at Li Yan. But before he could pull the trigger, several Eighth Route Army soldiers behind Li Yan rushed forward with bayonets in hand and killed the man.
A Japanese soldier stabbed him through. The Japanese soldier groaned and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
The battle in the northwest of Xishan ended with the overall victory of Li Yan's troops and the annihilation of all the Japanese troops. This battle not only heralded that the entire Xishan front had been fully formed, but also to a great extent shocked the Japanese troops entrenched in Xiangma Mountain.
This group of Japanese soldiers continued to fight for a long time
Neidu did not make any further moves against the Xishan front, but the good times did not last long. Less than half a year later, the Japanese strongholds in Xiangma Mountain started plans to increase their troops. It was at this time that the Japanese regained control of the Xishan front.
Xishan, the ambition to break the Xishan front has revived again...
