    Seeing that the Japanese artillery position was destroyed in one fell swoop, Wang Dayuan, deputy commander of the first brigade and second regiment, danced for joy. He turned around and shouted to Lu Gang: "Regiment leader, your plan is successful. Now we can make a great contribution." Lu Gang  He waved his hands, smiled, and kept mumbling.  In order to ambush the Japanese artillery this time, he specifically requested the brigade commander Han Tiecheng to concentrate all the Bayi mortars of the entire brigade on the Xionghebi line guarded by the Second Regiment.  Later, in order to ensure that the deception tactics were effective, he made the entire regiment endure shelling for half an hour during the first wave of Japanese attacks.  Until it was confirmed that the defenders had no artillery support, the Japanese army brazenly moved the mountain artillery and infantry artillery forward during the second wave of attacks, and finally entered the range of the August 1st mortars.  Now seeing the sea of ??fire on the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese artillerymen running around and causing heavy casualties, all the mountain artillery and infantry artillery were silenced, Lu Gang felt relaxed and refreshed in every pore of his body.  After eliminating the direct artillery of the Japanese regiment that was a huge threat to his own position, Lu Gang was completely relieved, waved his fist, and issued an order to the entire regiment: "Hit me hard, let the little devil know that our New Second Army is not easy to mess with."  " As soon as he finished speaking, from the artillery position behind the ridge, the sound of mortars being ejected came again.  Subsequently, in the Japanese offensive formation, fire and gunpowder smoke exploded when the artillery shells fell, accompanied by a large number of broken limbs and broken arms of the Japanese army.  "However, the Japanese offensive formation did not loosen up at all, and those young and energetic Japanese soldiers still rushed towards the national army's defensive positions, screaming.  Seeing the Japs getting closer and closer, Lu Gang shouted loudly: "Open fire with the machine guns and shoot at the Japs formation." As the order was conveyed in place, the light and heavy machine guns deployed on the front line began to spit out tongues of fire violently, with fire whips.  It's like a sickle wielded by the god of death, harvesting the lives of the devils at will.  The Japanese army began to suffer large-scale casualties, and the formation paused slightly.  The Japanese sergeant mixed in the offensive formation raised the crooked machine gun in his hand and kept shooting at the defenders in order to suppress the machine gun fire.  At the same time, the Japanese officers supervising the battle from behind waved their sabers to drive away the Japanese infantry attack. After a brief period of confusion, the Japanese formation returned to its original state and once again pressed against the New Second Army's defense line.  The Japanese army did not go far when they were attacked by a trap planted by the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment.  These traps are actually very simple. Most of them are just simple small traps. These traps are usually slightly larger than a foot, and the depth is four to five meters higher than the height of the ankle. As long as a person steps in, it can cause sprains of the ankle and neck, and even ankle sprains.  Broken bones.  Some Japanese soldiers stepped into the shallow pit, and their insteps were pierced by iron nails standing upside down. They sat down on the ground holding their feet and screamed miserably.  These vigorous student soldiers were not afraid of death, but they could not bear the pain. Soon the screams spread, and many young people had hesitation and uneasiness on their faces. They cowered in place and did not dare to say anything to those  The Japanese officer holding the command knife stepped forward and punched and kicked the soldiers. When that didn't work, one of the majors, Yu Jian, slashed a Japanese soldier lying on the ground to death, and then the team resumed its advance.  When the Japanese offensive formation advanced to a distance of seventy or eighty meters from the position, the pre-planted mines began to take effect, and Japanese soldiers were constantly blown into the sky by the hot air waves.  "Throw grenades, all fire, and resolutely knock down the Japanese troops." Lu Gang commanded the battle calmly. Almost instantly, gunshots burst out from the Second Regiment's position, submachine guns and rifles began to scream briskly, and grenades were fired one after another by the Japanese army.  Flowers are blooming in the rows.  The Japanese shouted and continued to rush towards the first position.  "Mother Xipi, the kid is really not afraid of death." Lu Gang's eyes were filled with cold light, and he shouted an order to the bugler: "Blow the charge horn, I'm going to hit the kid with a countercharge" "Tick tock¡ª¡ª" Bugler  Taking out the trumpet, the passionate charge horn sounded. The officers and soldiers jumped out of the trenches shouting, raised their guns and rushed towards the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain like tigers descending the mountain.  The grenades deployed on the second regiment's deep defense line began to show their power.  Melon grenades were sprayed out one after another, and a burst of fire flashed from behind the Japanese army formation. The Japanese soldiers who were hesitating when encountering a counterattack were blown to their backs and were instantly defeated.  The Japanese sergeants in front were trying to tell the Japanese soldiers to lie down on the spot. On the one hand, they were avoiding the incoming grenade shrapnel, and on the other hand, they were shooting at the attacking New Second Army officers and soldiers, but they did not wait for them to make any move.  , they were called out one by one by the sharpshooters on the Second Regiment¡¯s position.  The heads of the Japanese sergeants were like exploding watermelons, with blood and brains flying everywhere, frightening the surrounding student soldiers who had little combat experience.  The officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment were condescending and were unstoppable when charging. Light machine guns, submachine guns, and pistol bullets were like water splashing, rushing towards the chaotic mass.    At this time, the shortcomings of the Japanese student soldiers' lack of combat experience became apparent. Since there was no sergeant to lead the team to encourage them and make demonstrative actions, the officers holding the line were blown to pieces by the melon grenade launched from the grenade, and the remaining ones were also blown to pieces.  The team was separated, and the Japanese student soldiers could not move in unison. Some rushed forward, some lay down, and some retreated. The formation became even more chaotic.  Almost in an instant, the advancing Japs were overturned by the dense rain of bullets. The lying Japs had just opened up their field of vision, and before they had time to shoot, they were covered by a round of grenades. In the violent explosion, the Japs were blown to pieces.  Seeing that their companions were covered in blood and howling loudly, the remaining Japanese had no fighting spirit anymore. They got up and turned around and ran away, blending in with the fleeing team and running like a tide.  As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. The officers and soldiers of the Lugang Regiment were like sharp knives, cutting through the Japanese army. The Japanese army could only disperse and escape.  Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were being chased down the mountain and running around like ducks, Lu Gang was very pleased - after all, his efforts in the past year were not in vain, the recruits made rapid progress, and the Japanese army was almost completely suppressed.  "Michi Komatsubara, commander of the Japanese 23rd Division, who was observing the battle at the division headquarters on the top of Gaohongjian Mountain in the north, saw all this, his eyes widened and he was extremely shocked.  When we were in Manchuria, the imperial army had always driven the Chinese guerrillas into the mountains. Now the situation was reversed. The Japanese soldiers kept having grenades falling on their heads, and the Chinese soldiers were chasing after them. There were Japanese soldiers every minute and every second.  The soldiers were killed and wounded, and the tragedy was unbelievable.  Lieutenant General Michio Komatsubara was about to order the artillery regiment directly under the division to suppress the pursuing New Second Army, when suddenly the roar of aircraft engines sounded from behind.  "Yoshi" Komatsubarachi turned around in surprise, just in time to see the Japanese aircraft flying towards the battlefield. Among the twelve aircraft, there were eight bombers. They were grouped in twos, swooping down from high altitude and rushing towards the battlefield.  go.  Wu Ming was also observing everything happening on the battlefield.  In this defensive operation, the Second Regiment had been holding back. After dropping the artillery of the Japanese regiment and dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese army, it launched a decisive countercharge and achieved great results.  Now that the Japanese aircraft have provided timely reinforcements, the Second Regiment is not reluctant to fight, and retreats cleanly and neatly. Because the formation is widely spread out, it does not suffer many casualties. Whether it is defense or offense, it is impregnable.  After that, the Japanese army, unwilling to be defeated, launched two waves of attacks in other directions. One of them drove two regiments of puppet troops to the front, but they were easily repelled by the officers and soldiers of the New Second Division and the New Third Division. One day passed like this  .  The sun sets in the west, and the tired birds long for their return.  Having seen the performance of both the enemy and ourselves in the field, Wu Ming had a more intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the new Japanese divisions, and was very satisfied with the performance of the new Second Division and the New Third Division.  Most of the officers of the two divisions have been baptized on the battlefield, and the soldiers are well-trained, and there is no panic that leads to unnecessary casualties.  "It seems that the two divisions we are currently facing are indeed not as good as the Japanese standing divisions we encountered before. But you must not be careless. The Japanese army will definitely use tricks when encountering difficulties, such as using poison gas bombs. Therefore, the deployment of troops must be careful  "Don't let others dictate the rules and regulations." Wu Ming walked out of the new second division headquarters and gave detailed instructions to Luo Yuming who was seeing him off.  "Yes" Luo Yuming gave a solemn salute and answered with his head held high: "The military often says that a lion fights a rabbit, and we must do our best to do so. All the generals and colonels of the New Second Division will not underestimate the Japanese devils." At this time, a man rushed out from the command post.  The staff officer strode to Wu Ming: "Military seat, an urgent telegram has been transferred from the military headquarters." "Oh?" Wu Ming took the telegram curiously, looked at it carefully, frowned in thought, and nodded to Luo Yuming.  He nodded, and then took Zhang Ying, Chengyuan and others down the mountain.  Staring at Wu Ming's disappearing figure, Luo Yuming secretly guessed what the content of the telegram Wu Ming had just read was.  On the way back to the military headquarters, Wu Ming remained silent, and the atmosphere in the car was a bit dull.  Zhang Ying couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Military seat, what happened to make you so troubled?" "It's a telegram from the task force I have told the Chief of Staff before that if there is any news,  , you must inform me as soon as possible," Wu Ming said.  "What big move can I make if I'm a little devil?" Zhang Ying didn't care too much, and then asked curiously: "Military seat, why do you attach so much importance to the task force? The battlefield behind enemy lines is now at a low ebb. A few simple raids  It does not have much impact on the overall war situation. It is not worthy of such attention." Wu Ming shook his head: "You are wrong. After continuous fighting until the strategic materials reserved by the Japanese army are almost exhausted, they will definitely strengthen the occupied areas in order to plunder our country's resources in order to achieve the goal of war.  The purpose of maintaining the war. At this time, the less we can give up easily. As the Japanese army turns its attention to the front, the battlefield behind enemy lines will play out again."The role of imagination" Once the New Second Army's enemy rear troops launch continuous harassment operations in the hinterland of Jiangnan, the Japanese army's logistics supplies will inevitably be weakened, thus bringing opportunities to the frontal battlefield. Zhang Ying suddenly realized: "The Japanese army mobilizes the main force to confront our army, and the rear area will inevitably be empty.  , the task force will have room for development.  Once the Japanese army deploys troops to maintain law and order, our main force can cooperate with the task force to attack the Japanese army fiercely. This will prevent the Japanese army from looking at each other. It is a wonderful move." Wu Ming nodded: "The tactical characteristics of our army have gradually been understood by the Japanese army.  We have to use our brains and find ways to distract the Japanese army and make the Japanese focus on one thing and the other, so that they will not be able to fight with all their strength, and our opportunity will come." Zhang Ying nodded repeatedly, deeply touched.
