Predator Reborn

Chapter 160: Reinforcement (4)

"The encirclement and annihilation battle between the three main regiments of our army against the 117th Regiment of the Japanese Army will begin at noon today. It is estimated that the battle will continue until noon tomorrow. We hope that after the battle begins, all ministries must mobilize other Japanese reinforcements at all costs.

Block 10 kilometers outside the Changle Village battlefield and hold on until tomorrow night. Give the main force enough time to annihilate the enemy..."

After reading the telegram, the political commissar who stayed behind in the base area was silent. According to the current location of the Japanese army, there are now a total of three main Japanese regiments within 200 miles of Changle Village. If they march quickly, one day and one night will be enough to reach the battlefield and participate.

Battle. If this happens, the three regiments that encircled and annihilated the Japanese army will suffer heavy losses. If the three main regiments are lost, the foundation of the independent brigade will be gone.

The three main regiments must be held back. The political commissar secretly thought, but the three main regiments have a strength of nearly 10,000 people, while he only has three newly formed regiments, one garrison regiment, and dozens of militia companies.

.And a large part of these troops are still dragged into the remaining Japanese regiments. There is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves. Coupled with the advanced weapons of the Japanese army,... Thinking of this, political commissar Guan Xiangying shook his head.

.

"Political Commissar, I think we can hold back the Japanese army with our current strength. You must know that the Japanese army is in need of water and food. More importantly, their morale is very low after being continuously attacked by us.

But our soldiers are just the opposite. As long as we have the help of the common people, we can definitely hold back the Japanese." Xiao Ping, the county party secretary next to him, said excitedly after reading the telegram.

After listening to Xiao Ping's words, the political commissar did not speak. Because although Xiao Ping's words were correct, he had not had direct contact with the Japanese army. I knew how powerful the Japanese army was, so I still looked at the problem from the perspective of the former Inter Milan teacher. You know

, if the Japanese army becomes ruthless and fights for Bushido, it will be like going crazy. Although they have the right time, location, people and people... However, the quality of their soldiers, the political commissar can be said to be very clear, and the real quality of the Japanese army.

When it comes to fighting, the few people we have are not enough to fill the gap between nearly 10,000 Japanese troops.

However, no matter how difficult the battle is, we must fight it, because this battle is related to the future of the base area, and it is worth it even if we use up all the troops we have. Thinking of this, political commissar Guan Xiangying began to issue combat orders to various ministries.

It is also the company where Wang Da belongs. In order to strengthen the strength, a garrison company and two militia companies were all assigned to Wang Da. Now Wang Da is a veritable battalion commander. As for the quality of the soldiers under his command, there is no need.

As mentioned, except for the two companies that have experienced some combat and have certain combat experience, the two militia companies have not experienced any combat and can only help the main force, transporting the wounded, ammunition and other supplies.

The task Wang Da received was to use various fortifications to defend a village. Since the Japanese army's reinforcements to Changle Village had to pass through this village, the headquarters decided to have four companies of troops to use the tunnels in the village to block a Japanese alliance here.

The team needed at least two hours. Two hours was a severe test for Wang Da, who had a huge disparity in strength and combat effectiveness. Therefore, after receiving the order, Wang Da quickly rushed with the strength of four companies.

Go to Zhouzhuang and check out the terrain.

Zhouzhuang is only 150 miles away from the center of the base area. It is the second batch of villages liberated by the soldiers. Therefore, after nearly half a year of construction, the tunnels in the village are quite well prepared and can be used to prevent poisons and lightning.

It is said to have both offensive and defensive functions. Without heavy weapons, it would have been very costly to pass through this village. However, the Japanese army had many heavy weapons, which posed a great challenge to defense.

However, after seeing Zhouzhuang's complete tunnel defenses, Wang Da felt a little relieved. Because with the help of these tunnels, it would be much easier for him to hold on for two hours. Thinking of this, Wang Da was really impressed.

My own commander, you must know that if the commander hadn't insisted on digging tunnels in each village, it would have been several times more difficult to defend now.

Seeing the complete tunnel fortifications, Wang Da quickly came up with a battle plan. Two militia companies laid mines at the frontline outside the village. After completion, the militia companies all moved to the tunnels and waited for the two main companies to hold on in the village.

After a period of time, I entered the tunnels and fought the tunnel battle with the Japanese. I tried my best to drag the Japanese into the village.

Soon, the soldiers of the four companies began to get busy. The soldiers began to dig trenches along the village and build deep defense fortifications. Wang Da, who had many battle experiences, did not want to put all his troops on one position. If

In that case, after the Japanese artillery fire, I won't have many troops left. What will I use to defend myself then?

Therefore, Wang Da dug a total of two trenches 40 meters apart outside Zhouzhuang. The firepower was deployed in accordance with the commander's requirements, with heavy firepower at the front and light at the back.

At noon, all positions were basically set up. After everyone had lunch, they all returned to their respective positions to rest and recharge their batteries. Soon, at one o'clock in the afternoon, a scout sent by Wang Da came

News came back that an advance squadron of the Japanese army had been discovered.

"Damn, we came here so quickly. It seems that the commander's side is fighting very well. The Japanese must not be able to hold on any longer. Haha, tell the soldiers to prepare for battle. By the way, Xiao Wang, how is the marching speed of the Japanese army?

"Wang Da said excitedly.

"Company Commander, the Japanese army is marching very fast. There are no patrols on both sides, only one vanguard squadron, and the vanguard squadron does not conduct reconnaissance at all. Anyway, it is as if they are on their way." Xiao Wang replied excitedly.

"Well, we're on our way. You should go and take a rest first. The battle should start soon. Keep your strength up." Wang Da patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder and said. After speaking, he picked up the telescope and observed the front of the position.

of highway.

Sure enough, just when Wang Da picked up the telescope, the Japanese vanguard squadron had appeared in everyone's sight. Of course, the Japanese army must have noticed that the village in front had been occupied by the Eighth Route Army and had built fortifications. Because, right there

When Wang Da observed the formation of the Japanese army, they were forming three attack formations and slowly rushing towards their position under the command of a commander.

"Damn, the little Japs are so anxious that they dare to charge up with only a squadron of troops. I really don't know how they died. Go and tell the soldiers to open fire when the Japs get close and use all our machine guns."

Use it to give the Japanese a show of strength, make them think that we have more than one battalion, and use this as a trick to trick the Japanese." Wang Da said to the instructor behind him.

Since the Japanese were eager to rescue the trapped 117th Regiment in Changle Village, they didn't care at all about the harassment and minor losses along the way. They just asked the troops to rush on their way without stopping. The order given to the Japanese avant-garde squadron leader was,

No matter who resists, the vanguard squadron must open the passage in the shortest possible time at all costs.

Besides, in the mind of the captain of the Japanese regiment, the current main force of the Eighth Route Army should be in Changle Village to encircle and annihilate the 117th Regiment. It is impossible for a large force to be his way. Therefore, he believes that he can strengthen the squadron.

He has enough troops to defeat all the people who stand in his way.

Under this kind of psychological stimulation, although the soldiers of the Japanese avant-garde squadron saw the trenches in front of the village, no one took it seriously. They all thought that the Eighth Route Army was using it to confuse them, and the Eighth Route Army in these trenches was at most

There were some Tuba Road, so the soldiers held the rifles in their hands arrogantly and rushed towards the position at a trot. Some Japanese soldiers were even slowly firing.

Soon, the Japanese attack formation was approaching the mine array. Wang Da did not want to expose his mine array just because of a squadron of Japanese soldiers, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to open fire.

The machine guns of the two companies, plus the three light machine guns captured by Wang Da in previous battles, all opened fire, which was enough to match the firepower density of two battalions of the Chinese army. Under the crazy shooting of the machine guns, those arrogant Japanese soldiers were hit one after another.

The bomb fell. Although the Japanese quickly organized their own suppressive firepower, the density of firepower between the two sides could not be the same. Coupled with the geographical difference, the Japanese army obviously suffered a huge disadvantage.

Gradually, the gun battle continued for a few minutes again, and the Japs once again laid down dozens of corpses. The soldiers also suffered dozens of casualties under the precise shooting of the Japs. It looked like only half of the combat effectiveness was left.

The Japanese squadron leader finally had the intention to retreat. Because according to his combat experience, there were at least one battalion of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite position. If he did not retreat earlier, death would be waiting for him.

Soon, the Japanese troops, who were pinned 150 meters in front of the position by the soldiers, began to slowly retreat with the wounded. In the end, only dozens of corpses were left on the battlefield, still bleeding. The retreating Japanese troops

According to statistics of the vanguard squadron, a total of 58 soldiers were killed in the charge just now, and 16 were seriously injured. Almost a squad of troops lost their combat effectiveness.

Soon, the report that at least two battalions of the Eighth Route Army were stationed in Zhouzhuang reached the hands of the regiment commander through the vanguard squadron. "Baga, it's impossible. According to the intelligence, there is only one brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Now there are at least one brigade around the 117th Regiment.

Three regiments of Eighth Route Army soldiers, and two infantry battalions from Zhouzhuang." The commander of the regiment cursed loudly.

Because he received the order from the North China Headquarters to rush to Changle Village within 12 hours. The time was originally very tight, but now his way was blocked by two battalions of the Eighth Route Army, and the vanguard squadron unexpectedly lost one

With multiple squads of troops, can the commander not be angry?

"Order, the mortar squadron immediately builds a position, and the first battalion serves as the attack force. The first battalion is required to break through Zhouzhuang within half an hour, otherwise military law will be imposed." The commander of the regiment issued an order to storm.
