late at night.

Southwest Shanxi, Goutou Mountain.

The independent group that has just been upgraded to a brigade-level unit is here to fight the attack.

The battle has been going on for a month intermittently.

Since the 20th Japanese Division attempted to attack Luyang, it has been entangled with the Independent Regiment.

The 20th Japanese division is about to attack.

The Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is about to block the attack.

The two sides started to meet and the fight was very lively.

One side is good at attacking.

One side is good at defense.

Catch and fight. The sky is dark and the sun is dark. The sun and the moon are gone. They will kill all the way to Goutou Mountain.

Goutou Mountain has a very ordinary name. The terrain is undulating, rugged and steep, and there is almost no road access. There is no way for the Japanese invaders to try to attack from here.

The road is not clear!

The road from Linfen to Anze was destroyed.

There were all kinds of landmines along the way. Engineers were dispatched to sweep mines, but they were killed by the sharpshooters of the Eighth Route Army.

He tried to forcefully use tanks to open the road, thinking that the mines of the 8th Route Army were not very powerful, and he could not do anything to the tanks of the Imperial Army. As a result...

"Boom..."

With a loud bang, the Imperial Army's tanks turned into pieces.

A huge pit with a depth of one meter and a diameter of three meters appeared on the ground. It directly overturned the Japanese tank into the sky.

“Baga…”

The division commander Ichiro Shida was stunned.

Is this still a landmine from the Tujiao Route Army? Why is it so powerful?

The information does not mean that grenades in the border areas of the Eighth Route Army have no lethality at all. The mines also use black gunpowder, so isn't it enough to cause trouble?

how?

Isn’t the Eighth Route Army that I met?

Landmines made of black gunpowder can break the Imperial Army's tanks into pieces and disappear?

A grenade with no lethality could smash the Imperial Army soldiers to pieces and no bones left? Three grenades were thrown over, and a small team of the Imperial Army was killed.

Baga!

The intelligence departments are all pigs!

They should all be sent to the front line to die!

Death by a mine from the Tujiao Route Army!

It was shattered by a grenade from the Eighth Route Army!

waste!

big eater!

"boom!"

"boom!"

Suddenly another shell fell down.

But it was the 82mm mortar of the Tujiao Route Army. It was simply crazy.

No matter how the Imperial Army attacked, it would be intercepted by the mortars of the Eighth Route Army. Hu Tian was bombing endlessly.

As the main force of the Imperial Army, one of the seventeen permanent divisions, the 20th Division is still well-equipped with sufficient food and food. It is under its jurisdiction, two brigades and four corpses. The total force exceeds 22,000. This is because some of the soldiers are not replenished. If all the forces are replenished, the total force will exceed 25,000.

The weapons and equipment of the 20th Division are also very well-established. There are tanks, armored vehicles, heavy artillery, field artillery, infantry artillery, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and rifles...

Therefore, Ichiro Shida was full of confidence and felt that he could show off his strength in southwest Shanxi.

What is a sneak attack on Luyang?

It is not a problem to take down the Eighth Route Army headquarters!

The Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, and the Shaanxi Army were completely ignored.

Sure enough, he led his large army to attack Luyang, and easily broke through the defense of the Central Army and Shaanxi Army in Zhongtiao Mountain. Its momentum was like a broken bamboo and destroyed.

until……

Encountered the Turkish Eighth Route Independence Group.

Well, intelligence shows that they encountered the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Turkish Eighth Route.

Of course, Ichiro Shida would not take it seriously if he had only one regiment of troops. He immediately ordered a brigade to launch an attack. In his opinion, dispatching a brigade was enough. Sweep directly.

However……

A brigade was quickly gone.

It only went less than a kilometer.

Yes. It's only one kilometer. It's a mountainous area. One kilometer in a straight line, and at least three kilometers can be walked.

The Independent Regiment set up an ambush on the hillside, which gave the Japanese army a head-on attack. With a fierce firepower, half of the Japanese invaders lay on the ground. The remaining Japanese invaders were beaten and lost their souls.

They have never encountered such fierce firepower!

So many mortars!

So many machine guns!

The Japanese army was covered in an instant and there was no chance to hide.

Then the Independent Regiment launched a counterattack, encircled and intercepted the remaining Japanese invaders, and tried to wipe out them all. Fortunately, the other Japanese invaders fought to save them, which prevented the entire brigade from being wiped out.

However, hundreds of Japanese soldiers who came up to rescue also suffered casualties and were a little confused.

I feel like I'm not meeting the Eighth Route Army.

How could the Tujiao Route Army have such strong firepower!

"Baga!"

"How is that possible?"

Ichiro Shida was so angry. Something was wrong!

Why is the combat power of the Tujiao Route Army so strong?

One of my own field brigades, with a total of 1,200 people, was it gone so quickly?

Hurry up to the front line to watch.

The result is amazing.

Many strange phenomena have been discovered.

First, most of the Imperial Army soldiers were killed by artillery shells.

What does this mean?

This shows that the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was very fierce.

In the past, the lethality of the Tujiao Route Army mainly relied on bayonets and then bullets. There were very few shells.

When the Imperial Army attacked, there was no need to worry about the artillery attacks of the Tujiao Route Army. Because the Tujiao Route Army had no artillery at all! Unexpectedly, the Tujiao Route Army actually used extremely fierce artillery fire here.

One squadron leader, three squadron leader, and nine squadron leader were all killed by shells!

It can be seen how cruel the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is!

Second, the Imperial Army's infantry artillery actually curbed the mortars of the Tujiao Route Army.

The 82mm mortar used by the Tujiao Route Army was very long and it actually exceeded the Imperial Army's infantry artillery.

As soon as the Imperial Army's infantry artillery began to be fired, it was curbed by the mortars of the Eighth Route Army and then destroyed. There was almost no chance of playing a role. Being discovered was death.

Moreover, the number of mortars in the Eighth Route Army was greater than that of the Imperial Army's infantry artillery. The shells were also very sufficient.

There are remaining statistics from the Japanese invaders, and in just one minute, hundreds of shells fell down. It is simply terrifying.

Third, the Eighth Route Army seems to have larger caliber artillery.

Details are unknown.

“Baga…”

Ichiro Nada never dared to take it lightly again.

So he organized all the troops, took out all the tricks, and fought with the eighth Tujia.
To be continued...
