    The Japanese army first dispatched two regiments of troops and began to move closer to the defensive positions of the 1st and 2nd regiments. They deployed ultimate general positions and mortar positions on both wings.

    This is the only heavy weapon they can use.

    As for the original mountain cannon and large-caliber heavy artillery, they were discarded directly on the roadside.

    Those mountain artillery and heavy artillery are really too cumbersome for them.

    If they were carrying these big guys, they would have no choice but to march hundreds of kilometers in such a short period of time to reach this area, which is less than 50 kilometers away from the ancient Yellow River Road.

    Now, these issues that the Japanese army needs to consider have become very simple

    That is how to use the mortars and heavy machine guns on hand, as well as the flesh and blood of soldiers, to tear a gap in the enemy's defense line through which their main force can pass.

    There is no doubt that this will be a big challenge.

    ¡°At least, for Jiro Kuroyama and Kazen Watanabe, the blocking force on the first line of defense will cause them a lot of trouble.

    Especially the enemy¡¯s troops are the Eighth Route Army with the strongest willpower to fight.

    Compared with other Japanese regiments, the two regiments they dispatched can be considered to have maintained a complete organization.

    The captains of the two Japanese regiments, after conducting a simple investigation, decided to launch an attack on the defensive positions of the 1st and 2nd regiments.

    At the same time, Jiro Montenegro personally commanded an elite regiment of troops to launch an attack from the front.

    This will attract the firepower from the front of the defensive positions of the 1st and 2nd regiments, and provide conditions for the other two regiments to attack from the side.

    The first regiment commander Xie Wenbin and the second regiment commander Bai Yaowen were both ready to fight at this time.

    They ordered their soldiers not to expose the location of their machine gun firepower until the Japanese army was completely close to the position.

    Even ordinary soldiers holding rifles should never show their heads easily.

    Because the Japanese army's marksmanship is very accurate, especially those veterans, they can hit the target within 100 meters. It is not difficult for them to pierce the enemy with a hundred steps.

    At this time, Xie Wenbin, the commander of the first regiment, had seen the Japanese attacking troops through the telescope, ready to move on the flanks.

    He knew that the enemy's attack would most likely be launched from three directions.

    They are their wings and front respectively.

    If the enemy's main attack direction is on the two wings, then the frontal attack is a feint.

    They only need to send a part of their troops to defend the front and focus on blocking the enemy's troops on the flanks to complete this blocking mission.

    However, if we talk about the three directions of the enemy, they are all the key directions of attack.

    So for Xie Wenbin and Bai Yaowen, it is also a more difficult matter.

    They may suffer very heavy casualties in this extremely bloody battle.

    But at this moment, Wu Xinchuan, the commander of the 118th Brigade, had given the two of them a death order.

    That is, no matter what, we must hold on to this defensive position for more than 6 hours.

    It was not until dark that they were able to open an opening in their position and allow the Japanese troops to enter their pockets through this opening.

    Behind this line of defense, other troops under Wu Xinchuan have also formed lines of defense to block the Japanese attack.

    On this line of defense, there are dozens of defensive positions, large and small, some with only one company of troops stationed, and some with an integrated regiment staying behind.

    If.  If the Japanese army wanted to break through from here, they would have to send a large number of troops to attack,

    at the same time.  It will also waste a lot of precious time,

    If they choose to take a detour, although they can bypass some positions, they will also waste precious retreat time.

    Behind Wu Xinchuan was a brigade of more than 20,000 people led by Zuo Wen.

    They are on the north side of the Yellow River Ancient Road.  A line of defense has been built, which is the bottom of the pocket. If the Japanese army breaks through all the defense lines here, then they will be able to break through the encirclement. In this case.  This blocking operation was jointly commanded by the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.  It will also end in failure.

    Wu Xinchuan had already told Zuo Wen before the battle officially started.

    "The soldiers I bring will definitely be able to stop the Japanese army."?Inside this pocket array.

    Your troops may not even have a chance to participate in a direct battle with the Japanese army.

    I think you can just follow our people and clean the battlefield in the pocket array and capture some Japanese soldiers.  "

    Zuo Wen naturally didn't care about Wu Xinchuan's joke-like ridicule.

    He just responded calmly: "Just wait and see, I want to see it. How capable is your 118th Brigade?

    Even 20,000 people can stop 50,000 Japanese troops from breaking through in one direction.  "

    Although he said this, he still sent a telegram to Wu Xinchuan after he separated from him.

    The content of the telegram was very simple. It told Wu Xinchuan that if their troops needed reinforcements, he still had two regiments of mobile troops that could be dispatched to Wu Xinchuan at any time and let him personally command the reinforcements on the front line.  Combat.

    Bai Yaowen, the leader of the second regiment, picked up the walkie-talkie.

    This is a batch of walkie-talkies given to them by the 4th Army. At this time, they have been equipped to the company level.

    The emergence of this walkie-talkie allowed him to easily contact the positions of the nearby regiment, and even the defensive positions of his various companies.

    He can also communicate with these troops in real time through walkie-talkies, no longer like before.  They were worried that the phone lines would be interrupted and they would be unable to contact various positions, or even know the situation of nearby positions.

    On the other end of the intercom was Xie Wenbin, the commander of the first regiment.

    Bai Yaowen said to him: "Lao Xie, let me tell you, I have at least one regiment of little Japanese troops here, and there are half a regiment of troops on the front, waiting to launch an attack on us. What are you doing there?  Condition?"

    Xie Wenbin yawned and said: "I have at least one and a half regiments of troops here, waiting to attack.

    And the deployment is basically the same as yours.

    This time, the little devil didn¡¯t have any conspiracy. He just wanted to deploy as many troops as possible on the frontal battlefield to attack our defensive positions.  "

    Bai Yaowen laughed and said: "Then come, the soldiers will block it, the water will cover it with the soil.

    This time, let these little devils have a taste of the power of our Eighth Route Army.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
