It’s just that the Japanese army in the middle attack was a little later.

It was not until the Japanese troops on both sides that crossed the ridge lines on the hillsides on both sides that the two Japanese infantry squadrons of the middle route attacked along the highway under the cover of a chariot squadron.

The 1st Division really invested a lot this time.

So Okamura Yasuji saw everything he wanted to see.

In order to see more clearly, Okamura Yasuji asked Nakamura Moritao to reduce the height to 500 meters.

From a low altitude of 500 meters, Okamura Yanji could see clearly that when the Japanese army launched an attack, when the three Japanese troops on the left, middle and right broke into the Eighth Route Army's defensive positions at the same time.

A shocking scene immediately appeared.

Countless fire points suddenly emerged from the originally silent wild boar ditch.

From the ground, there is actually a drop on the hillsides on both sides of the Wild Boar Gully, and there are also gullies in the middle, and the entire terrain is divided into each other.

But Okamura Yanji looked down from the air, it was a two-dimensional figure.

Therefore, the visual effect given by Okamura Yanji, the machine gun firepower points of the Eighth Route Army are more dense and terrifying.

In the field of view, along the left and right sides of the Wild Boar Gully, about one hundred meters north and south, suddenly at least two hundred firepower points emerged.

Okamura Yasuji hasn't counted it,

There is no time to count at all.

However, based on years of experience, he could determine that the Eighth Route Army had at least two hundred firepower points!

More than two hundred fire points shot wildly towards the middle canyon and the opposite hillside, not only forming dense cross firepower to the middle canyon, but also forming cross protection to the opposite hillside.

In other words, the Japanese attacking from the left hillside will be shot by firepower on the right hillside.

The Japanese who advance from the right hillside will be shot by fire from the left hillside.

The Japanese and tanks that advance from the middle of the canyon will be covered by cross-border firepower on both sides at the same time.

In addition to light and heavy machine guns, the Eighth Route Army's firepower points also had artillery. It was these artillery that posed a fatal threat to the Japanese tanks advancing in the middle.

Just as Moetao Nakamura was driving the Mitsubishi 97 reconnaissance plane for the second time, Okamura Yanji clearly saw through the porthole that more than ten Type 95 light tanks advancing along the middle road had been basically destroyed, but the two infantry squadrons and four squadrons on both sides were still advancing forward.

At this time, a scene that surprised Okamura Yasuji even more appeared.

As the Japanese army advanced forward, more machine gun fire points appeared deep in the canyon.

Originally, some firepower points were close to the valley entrance, but after the Japanese attack troops moved forward, these firepower points basically lost their function, and they stopped shooting one after another.

However, deep in the canyon, a large amount of machine gun fire emerged from the originally empty hillside, causing continuous damage to the Japanese infantry advancing forward.

After barely advancing forward for about two hundred meters, the six infantry squadrons that were put into the attack finally couldn't hold on.

Because more than half of the six infantry squadrons involved in the attack had suffered casualties, it was meaningless to continue to advance.

So a brigade leader decisively issued a retreat order, and the Japanese infantry who received the order immediately retreated along the original path like a tide.

At this time, the Type 97 reconnaissance plane passed over the Wild Boar Gully for the third time.

Through the porthole, Okamura Yanji suddenly discovered that the fire point on the hillside deep in the canyon had stopped firing, but the fire point near the valley entrance opened fire again, causing continuous damage to the retreating Japanese troops.

Watching teams of Japanese soldiers falling to the ground under the crossfire of the Eighth Route Army, Okamura Yanji's face was as heavy as water.

However, the casualties of these Japanese soldiers were not worthless. At least it helped him understand the defense deployment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in Wild Boar Gate. It was really not easy!

The person who came up with this defensive deployment is a genius!

...

Half an hour later, at the headquarters of the Northwest Shanxi Column in Anhua.

Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were gathering in the battle to chat with the brigade commander.

As commanders of the three detachments of the regular army, Li Yunlong and the others are relatively idle now.

While Li Yunlong and the other two chatted, Cheng Yue hurried in and reported: "Commander, I just received a call from the first and second detachments. They each repelled a fierce attack from the Japanese army. Moreover, the Japanese army's attack this morning was very strong. Not only did they invest six infantry squadrons, but also a chariot squadron were responsible for guiding!"

"Huh?" Kong Jie suddenly looked shaking when he heard this and asked again, "What's the result? Have you kept it?"

Li Yunlong cursed unhappily: "Kong Erlangzi, are you stuffed with donkey hair in your ears? When Xiaoyue came in just now, she said directly that the Japanese have already repelled this attack. Do you think you have defended it?"

"Oh, yes." Kong Jie slapped his forehead and said mockingly, "Look at my memory."

Ding Wei asked: "Xiaoyue, what about the results of the battle? How many Japanese devils were wiped out in the two battlefields?"

Cheng Yue replied: "A total of more than 2,000 Japanese killed and destroyed twenty-one tanks."

"Beautiful job!" said the brigade commander happily, "Add to add the three thousand yesterday, that's five thousand!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I killed more than 5,000 Japanese devils in less than two days. At this speed, one division is enough for local troops to fight for six days, and eight divisions are only one and a half months. It doesn't take our regular army to take action. The local troops of the two military sub-districts easily clean up the eight divisions of Okamura Nishi's."

"What are you thinking?" Ding Wei said angrily, "Is it really stupid to think of the Japanese?"

The brigade commander also said: "The Japanese have suffered such great losses in the past two days because they have not yet experienced the powerful defense of the collapsed fortress Xiao Wang has created. But now they have tasted the power of their strength, so it is impossible for them to attack without any brainstorms, so there will definitely be no more great results in the future."

"That's nothing," Li Yunlong said, "As long as these four fortresses can help our three military sub-districts drag down the Japanese's four elite divisions, it's enough."

"That's right." Kong Jie also said, "The remaining four divisions will be handed over to our regular army. Our regular army's performance cannot be worse than that of local troops, right?"

"But it's strange. Why haven't the other four divisions come yet?" Li Yunlong said impatiently, "When we saw the local troops killing and killing, our regular army could only sit next to us and stare at us. This is not a big deal. Brigade commander, otherwise we should replace the local troops first?"

"Shut up." The brigade commander cursed, "What trouble is causing here? It's really."
