"Idiot, you know nothing about the sparrow tactics of the Tujiao Route!"

Kuroshima Morita slapped Kuroshima Jiro in the face with another backhand.

Nishitake Ichiyasu also explained: "Jirou, this is not a question of whether to be afraid or not, but the gathering and separation of the eight dynasties of the Tujiao Routes is invisible. Our corps cannot find an opportunity to fight head-on with them!"

"So what if you can't find a chance to fight head-on?"

Jiro Kuroshima roared: "Then slaughter Yang Village and the entire Taihang bandit area!"

"Then what?" said Morita Kuroshima. "On the way to Junyang Village, on the way to sweep the Taihang Bandit District, I was constantly suffering from sparrow battles from the Eighth Route Army. Every day, even every moment, the imperial soldiers were broken. How long do you think the more than 1,300 imperial soldiers in the Black Island United lasted? Three or five days?"

Jiro Kuroshima was speechless, there was nothing he could do about this.

Hiding in the strongholds made the eighth lords bully like this.

If you really go to the wild, it will be even more impossible to say.

"Get back!" Kuroshima Morita shouted, "Get out of here!"

Jiro Kuroshima glared at Kuroshima Morita fiercely and left unwillingly.

Watching Jiro Kuroshima walk away, Nishitakechi said with some concern: "Captain, Jiro's emotions seem to be a little unstable. Be careful of his excessive actions."

"Don't worry." Kuroshima Morita said, "He dare not do anything randomly."

Xizhuichi originally wanted to persuade him again, but when he said something, he changed it to another topic.

"Captain of the regiment, this is not a solution." Xizhuyi said in a deep voice, "If the Tujiao Route Army came to shoot one or two guns at the Huting stronghold every night, then the imperial soldiers in the entire regiment would not be able to rest well. Over time, the imperial soldiers would inevitably breed negative emotions and morale would be problematic."

"Don't I know this?" Kuroshima Morita said in a deep voice, "but now I can only endure it."

Xizhu said: "Otherwise, we will build several small strongholds three to five kilometers outside the Huting stronghold, and each stronghold sent a cavalry team to garrison."

"If there are not enough people, you can transfer the Imperial Army."

"There is no need to repair too strong fortifications."

"Just build a simple artillery tower."

"This way, we can protect the Huting stronghold."

After saying that, Xizhuyi was still a little satisfied and thought this idea was good.

"It's so stupid!" But Kuroshima Morita poured his head and poured it down with a basin of cold water.

"The Huting stronghold was just a harassment. If you built a small stronghold on the periphery as you said, it would not be a harassment. The Eighth Route Army can directly drop the stronghold, and the losses will only be greater at that time."

"How is it so easy?" Xizhuichi said unconvincedly, "If the outer stronghold is attacked by a large-scale Turkish Eighth Route Army, the Huting stronghold will send the main force of the corps to rescue."

"The question is how to judge the scale of the attack on the Turkish Eighth Route Army?"

"And can you really ignore the small size of the Tujiao Route Army?"

"The Tujiao Route Army just now can pull out a cannon tower by one person!"

"How can we ensure communication between the Huting stronghold and the peripheral stronghold?"

Kuroshima Morita raised a series of questions and said, "If you really do what you said, then the main force of the unit really doesn't have to sleep anymore. It's enough to just rely on rescuing the outer strongholds every night."

Xizhu was helpless and frowned and said, "Then there is really nothing to do."

A strange color flashed through Kuroshima Morita's eyes and said, "I said, use to tone!"

Xizhu asked, "Have you been patient until the ruling battle begins?"

Kuroshima Mori was silent.

...

Let’s talk about Wang Ye and Wang Chengzhu later.

It took about five kilometers to stop the war horse.

Wang Ye turned around and asked with a smile: "Company Commander Wang, are you happy?"

"Of course it's good!" Wang Chengzhu smiled, "Of course it's good to shoot a cannon."

Wang Ye said again: "Since it's so good, go back and have a shot?"

"No problem." Wang Chengzhu said, "Not just one shot, it's OK to do two more shots."

This time when Wang Chengzhu came out, he brought a whole box of shells, one box of exactly three rounds.

"That won't work." Wang Ye waved his hand, "Don't do it all in one go, then our shell reserves can't stand it. After all, we don't have any room to replenish."

"Listen to you."

Wang Chengzhu said: "Anyway, I just want to shoot the cannon."

The two of them immediately took a big circle and then returned to the west of the Huting Staff.

From a distance, I saw that the Huting stronghold had returned to peace again, as if nothing had happened.

Wang Ye asked Wang Chengzhu to lead the war horse and stay in the area three kilometers away, while he himself held a rifle alone and searched quietly under the cover of the night.

This is to clear out the hiding Japanese gangs nearby.

Otherwise, the Japanese would come to them from behind, which would be a problem.

Wang Ye searched very carefully. His vision was enhanced by legendary snipers, which was incomparable to owls, but it was probably not much different from that of a dog's night vision ability.

Moreover, Wang Ye's hearing is also extremely sensitive.

However, even so, whether the Japanese can find the hidden whistle depends entirely on luck.

Because the Japanese's lurking whistles were all disguised, it was difficult to detect in broad daylight, let alone at night?

Listening to the sound of breathing is even more irritating. How close is it to be to hear the sound of breathing? So unless you are lucky, it is difficult to find the Japanese lurking whistle in the dark.

Last time, Wang Ye was able to find the Japanese to lurk with a hidden whistle, which was really lucky.

But then again, it is just a little troublesome to not be able to find the Japanese to lurk.

Because the Japanese's lurking area reaches a radius of three kilometers, the density will definitely not be high for such a large range, at most two or three Japanese within a distance of one hundred meters.

So unless you have a bad luck,

Otherwise, they would basically not be with the Japanese lurking whistle.

Wang Ye searched carefully for more than an hour, but found nothing.

It seems that next time I have to come here two hours in advance, determine the location of the Japanese lurking whistle, and then clear it at a fixed location, so that we can clear out a relatively safe artillery position for Wang Chengzhu.

But today there is nothing I can do, so I can only just put it in.

He immediately turned back and met Wang Chengzhu, first concealed the war horse, and then helped Wang Chengzhu carry the shells. Wang Chengzhu himself carried the mortar and soon found a cannon position.

The movements between the two of them were very small throughout the process.

In order not to alarm the lurking Japanese whistle.

Relying on the sporadic lights coming out of the Huting Staff,

Wang Chengzhu quickly measured the distance, which was about 2,500 meters.

The maximum range of the Type 97 81mm Infantry Crank Cannon is 2850 meters, so there is no problem with the distance.

Taking advantage of the short gap between Wang Chengzhu and the cannon, Wang Ye also chose a hidden sniper position twenty meters away.

Wang Chengzhu's mortar faces the Huting stronghold, and Wang Ye's muzzle faces the bare hills around Wang Chengzhu. His first priority now is to protect Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu quickly set up the mortar.

He opened the wooden box and took out a shell and loaded it into the muzzle.

The shell weighing 3 kilograms slid into the barrel with a slight sound, and the base fire and the striker made a slight sound.

Then, with a loud sound, accompanied by a red light, the shells roared out from the muzzle, and drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the Huting stronghold two kilometers away.

This loud muffled sound and red light were still very eye-catching at night.

Then Wang Ye saw something about ten meters away from the right front. It seemed that someone was adjusting his posture! Damn, there was a hidden whistle of a Japanese man avoiding here!

Wang Ye's surprise was really amazing.

The Japanese lurking whistle actually hid less than twenty meters!

If the Japanese didn't move, Wang Ye wouldn't really be able to find him. But now when he moved, he probably wanted to turn the gun and aim at Wang Chengzhu, but he exposed himself.

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

The Japanese lurking whistle had just turned the gun, and Wang Ye had already pulled the trigger first.

With a puff sound, the Japanese whistle more than ten meters away fell to the ground, and the 38-large cover that had been aimed at in his hand had no chance to fire.

However, there were two Japanese who were lurking and pulling the trigger at the same time.

Two dazzling tracers immediately shot from two different directions to the hill where Wang Chengzhu was located, but the distance between the two Japanese was a bit far apart, so they failed to hit the target.

Only if they can get the chance, there will be ghosts, because they can't even see Wang Chengzhu's figure clearly.

The reason why the two Japanese lurked whistle fired tracer bullets was to guide the heavy machine guns at the stronghold.

In the blink of an eye, two dazzling tracers met at the hill where Wang Chengzhu was located. This intersection point was the target that heavy machine guns needed to fire!

The next moment, four tongues of fire poured out from the Hu Pavilion stronghold two thousand meters away.

However, at this distance, even if the heavy machine gun has a strong ballistic area, it spreads greatly, and the hit rate is very low.

However, Wang Chengzhu immediately carried the mortar and shell box and rushed down the hill, and the Japanese heavy machine gun firepower was isolated from the front of the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, two flares rose into the air.

Wang Chengzhu called out mom, and quickly made various tactical evasion actions.

Now the two Japanese hiding whistles lurking a hundred meters away finally saw Wang Chengzhu clearly.

The two Japanese hiding whistle turned the guns as soon as possible and pulled the trigger almost at the same time.

If this is during the day, at a distance of more than 100 meters, the well-trained Japanese soldiers will basically raise their hands.

But now it is at night. Even if there are flares in the sky, the visible conditions are still not as good as during the day, which seriously affects their accuracy.

Neither of the two Japanese were able to hit the target.

When they pulled the gun and were ready to fire a second shot, they had no chance.

Wang Ye raised his hand and shot the first Japanese devil, then completed the shell removal and the bullet at a faster speed, and then fired the gun at a faster speed and completed the shooting.

The second Japanese lurked whistle just raised his rifle when a blood flower suddenly bloomed on his chest. Then he rushed forward and there was no movement again.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Only two flares were still burning in the air.

The sound of horse hooves sounded like tides in the direction of the Hu Pavilion stronghold behind him.

You can know without looking back that the Japanese cavalry must have come out.

Wang Ye also rushed up and ran forward while making tactical avoidance moves.

Although three Japanese lurking whistles had been shot and killed just now, there must be more lurking whistles in the distance. It would be foolish to wait until you are stunned under the flares.

The first set of evasion has just been done.

A sharp whistle suddenly sounded above his head.

Needless to say, another Japanese man must have been lurking at him and shot him.

Although he was running, Wang Ye did not lose his observation of the surrounding environment. With the gunshots and the observation from the corner of his eyes, he soon discovered and locked in the Japanese.

Wang Ye ran forward two steps and suddenly fell to the side.

The moment he came to his side, Wang Ye quickly fired his gun. With the superman's first-class gun feeling, he shot about a hundred meters away from the right front. Then, before he could see the result, he rolled on the ground and got up and ran forward.

While rolling and crawling, he made avoidance actions as usual, and not far ahead was Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu's movements seemed clumsy, but in fact they were very practical. At least the Japanese were unable to hit him just now.

In less than two minutes, Wang Ye and Wang Chengzhu had already rushed to the hiding point of the war horse, and then stepped onto the war horse and ran forward without delaying for a second.

From time to time, bullets roared past the two of them.

It was the Japanese who were lurking and shooting at them from afar.

But there is nothing to worry about with this kind of stray bullet.

Unless you are lucky enough to get home, you will never be hit by a stray bullet.

This time, the two of them ran seven or eight kilometers before they dared to stop.

Looking back, there was darkness and silence on the mountain road behind me.

Obviously, the Japanese cavalry only chased after a while and stopped chasing.

The Japanese cavalry were still afraid that the Eighth Route Army guerrillas would be ambushed on the way.

It was already past three o'clock in the morning. I was sure that there were no Japanese cavalry behind me and they turned over and got off the horse and found a shelter for midnight snack.

"It's so good!" Wang Chengzhu said while gnawing on the steamed buns, "I'll have a fuck after I finish eating?"

"I'm afraid it won't work today, there's no time." Wang Ye said, "Besides, I've already done two Japanese guns today, enough, and it's not too late to use the remaining shells tomorrow."

"It's OK," Wang Chengzhu said, "Come again tomorrow."

The two of them had enough food and drink before they walked back leisurely.

Wang Chengzhu was a little sorry for the equipment of those Japanese.

"Xiao Wang, how many Japanese secret whistles have you killed just now?"

"Three, or four, right? Can you stop calling me Xiao Wang? It seems like I'm your subordinate."

"Hey, you are just a deputy platoon. I'm a serious corps. Isn't it your superior? Salute me quickly and shout for the leader."

"Go to you, are you the leader of the ball?"

"If I don't make a mistake, I'm in full swing now."

"You bastard, I really have to salute the leader when you see me."

"Who made you make mistakes? But to be honest, you did a pretty good job in that matter! There are not many people who can admire me in our independent group. The leader is one, and you are one."

The two of them came to Yangcun while talking nonsense.

...

Huting stronghold.

A horse face from Kuroshima Morita turned black again.

Because the baggage squadron had just brought back four bodies.

The second shell that the Tujiao Route Army just now did not cause substantial damage to the Huting stronghold because the bullet point was in the trench outside the stronghold.

This is dark and lantern,

The artillery of the Eighth Route Army actually does not have much threat.

But four lurking whistle ambushing the periphery died!

Nishizhu lifted the shrouds of four corpses one by one, observed for a while, and came back to Morita Kuroshima, saying, "The four imperial soldiers were all hit by the vital points and were shot to death, without exception."

The squadron leader of the baggage squadron added: "One of them was a gun fired a hundred meters away. The Tuyao Route Army just ran and shot through Hasegawa's heart."

Xizhu said: "This must be the previous Tu Eighth Route Army."

Kuroshima Morita was silent and didn't know what he was thinking.

But the officers standing behind Morita Kuroshima were furious.

Xizhu said: "Captain of the regiment, otherwise he would withdraw the lurking mail, right?"

"Can't retreat!" Kuroshima Morita refused flatly, "Once the lurking post on the periphery is withdrawn from the stronghold, the situation will immediately return to its original origin. The bold Tu Eighth Route Army dares to be close to the stronghold within a thousand meters to fire cold cannons! At that time, there will only be more jade-shattered imperial soldiers."

"But this won't work."

Xizhu said: "Two jades are broken today, three jades are broken tomorrow, when will it end?"

"I said, thorn!" Kuroshima Morita said gritting his teeth, "Wait for this time."

Nishitake Ichi was silent. He had already said everything he should say. What should I do is to do with Morita Kuroshima.

After all, the captain of the Second Guards Cavalry Regiment is Kuroshima Morita, not Nishitakechi.

...

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and it was the end of 1939.

During this period, Wang Ye and Wang Chengzhu would go to the Huting stronghold to work one or two shots every night, but they did not let the Japanese in the stronghold stop for a night.

There will inevitably be danger in the middle.

Once, the Japanese cavalry were ruthless and chased for thirty miles!

But the result was extremely painful. Not only did he fail to kill Wang Ye and Wang Chengzhu, but Wang Ye seized the opportunity. He first ran away and then killed more than a dozen Japanese cavalrymen during the pursuit.

Another time, the Japanese suddenly added a large number of secret whistles.

The radius of the base is almost covered with Japanese soldiers within three kilometers.

When Wang Ye was about to clear one by one along the marked positions during the day, he suddenly poked the hornet's nest.

Then, about ten days ago, the Japanese suddenly became a turtle with their heads and withdrew all the lurking whistles outside the stronghold, and even the cavalry were no longer sent out.

Wang Chengzhu even mounted the mortar to a distance of one thousand meters.

The Japanese in the stronghold also refused to get out of the hole, and at most they used heavy machine guns to fight back.

Time passed quietly in such a harassment, and New Year's Eve was approaching in a blink of an eye.

In another day, it will be New Year's Eve, and after New Year's Eve, it will be 1940. For the War of Resistance Against Japan, 1940 was the most critical year.

If we talk about it alone, it is actually even more difficult for 42 years and 43 years.

But the key point is that 40 years are even more critical, because over the past 40 years, almost the entire China was shrouded in despair, and the argument of saving the country or destroying the country was prevalent. On the front line, the national army, which consolidated divisions, army and even the entire army, turned against the Wang puppet government and fought for the puppet army.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army also declined very significantly after expanding their troops. They are catching up on time to train troops and are temporarily unable to launch a large-scale offensive.

It is no exaggeration to say that the first half of 40 years was the lowest period of the entire War of Resistance.
Chapter completed!
