Zhaozhuang Village on the plain is an ordinary village, which is somewhat different from other villages.

During normal times, Zhaozhuang Village is four or five miles east of the east, and the Wei River flows into the Grand Canal from south to northeast.

Due to the drought, the people in the upper reaches of the Wei River close to the riverside. When they arrived at the section of Zhaozhuang Village, the river that was already slowly flowing on the plain had long been cut off.

The low-lying rivers are not completely dried up. If you open up land and farm in the rivers, the land will appear very fertile.

However, there is no water in the river, so the water truck naturally cannot bring the small amount of water in the river to the plains and ditches, resulting in no water everywhere on the plains, so that there is no way to grow crops.

The people who stayed behind had to take great risks in the river reclamation!

One may be killed by the Japanese who have swept the raids, on the other hand, in summer, even if the weather is about to rain two times, it will cause all the crops planted by the people in the river to be destroyed by the river.

Faced with such a situation, most ordinary people on the plains have to choose to leave their hometowns!

There are only villages along the river, and some people are still waiting here. They hope that it will rain in spring. Seeing that spring is coming, the sun will still rise every day, but it will not rain.

There are always people who are lucky enough to start digging and farming in the river. Their hope is very simple. Until summer harvest, God must not rain!

The information Captain Yang could grasp was not comprehensive, and even the information obtained by many working team members could not be delivered to him as soon as possible.

On the plain, the Japanese had too strong mobile ability. They originally planned to clear out the reactionary forces of the Huidao Sect to the north, but new variables were found due to the negotiations between the two sides.

The four of them were discussing how to fight this battle just now, and they must fight!

The reason is very simple. Those demons and monsters and monsters in the sects must realize that the Eighth Route Army is not that easy to mess with! Otherwise, when the Eighth Route Army troops leave, those villains will jump out to fight against the Japanese forces under the temptation of the Japanese.

Unexpectedly, the original plan to supplement the troops did not arrive, but the superiors arranged a national guerrilla team!

The enemy also reinforced a company of Japanese devils, and also brought an unknown public security army, with a scale of about one or two hundred.

The strength of both sides has become subtle again.

All the wounded were sent away. The Independent Regiment and Wang Peng's reinforcements are currently more than 300, and the weapons and equipment are not bad.

This time there is nothing to worry about, so the people have already moved away. Anyway, the houses in nearby villages have been burned by the Japanese several times, and even if the Japanese burn them again, it will be that way.

The Japanese have armored vehicles, which are almost invincible on the plains, but that thing is nothing when it leaves the road!

It can only be used as a fire point at a long distance.

Long Fanzhang sat opposite Hu Yi and Captain Yang: "...If the armored vehicle could be knocked out, he would have more than 100 Japanese devils, and my brothers didn't take it seriously yet! This time, my army brought two mortars... I heard... Gui Jun invented the mortar flat-fire tactic. Can you tell me?"

Gao Yidao was stunned for a moment. The mortar had no shells and could not use it. He immediately turned his head to look at Hu Yi, meaning that he would find a way to get the support shells of Long.

As for asking him for shells to his friendly forces, it is absolutely impossible! What is the national army? That is the mortal enemy!

Hu Yi understood the meaning of Gao Yidao's eyes. When he was studying in the teacher, he heard that a simple mortar shot directly, digging a pile of soil to fix the seat plate, laying the mortar flat, placing the grenade in the muzzle, and pushing the grenade into the barrel with a sorghum rod, allowing the firing needle at the bottom of the mortar to hit the bottom fire, thus detonating the gunpowder at the tail and the additional medicine pack wrapped around the shrinking tail and the warhead to control the range.

To put it bluntly, it is just changing the cracking of the hair with its own gravity to using a sorghum pole to push the cracking. However, Hu Yi never saw the instructor demonstrate when he was studying, and it is said that it is very unsafe.

However, if it is actually changed to a direct-fired cannon, the mortar must be modified and the fixed firing needle at the bottom of the cannon barrel will be changed to a movable firing needle.

In terms of method, it is not difficult and it is not a military secret. Because the national army is rich and powerful, when it comes to attacking, it directly pushes mountain cannons into battle, unlike the Eighth Route Army without heavy firepower!

After Hu Yi briefly explained the principle, Long Fanzhang next to him was stunned: "According to your opinion, it is definitely not realistic to modify now... However, will poking a sorghum rod block the shell? It will explode..."

Hu Yi was speechless, and Li Xiang made only a few shots in the entire independent regiment: "I haven't tried it, but I heard that a brother army used this method to attack the Japanese artillery tower. Anyway, it's done, so it shouldn't be stuck!"

Long Fanzhang nodded: "Then you can try it when you fall. At worst, you can just blow up a cannon, it's just that artillery soldiers are precious..."

Just a cannon? Gao Yidao was stunned for a moment and quickly interrupted: "Why are you responsible for the shooting parameters? Battalion Commander Hu also has artillery soldiers. Let Battalion Commander Hu arrange people?"

Long Fanzhang was a little surprised. In his impression, many regiments of the Eighth Route Army did not have mortars, and the battalion commander in front of him...

However, he was delighted: "Do you have mortars?"

"There are two...but the shells were all exhausted last night!" Gao Yidao immediately became interested. Although it was fired by bandits yesterday, the shells were indeed exhausted yesterday.

…

The sun is slightly west, just a little bit.

After lunch in the fire in the artillery tower.

The battle arrangements for the lieutenant of the Japanese have been released.

Under his personal command, the army divided into three groups and pressed southward along the three artillery towers.

The offensive team actually divided into five levels!

When the bandits suddenly came, each team took a squad as the vanguard's vanguard's headquarters, and most of the bandits followed closely.

Then there was the reorganized Imperial Army battalion.

The Japanese followed the Imperial Army to command, and the convoy could maneuver to the two wings at any time in the middle to provide firepower to the bandits and the Imperial Army attacking in front!

Finally, there were the baggage team of civilians brought by the bandits.

Perhaps because the bandits and the Imperial Army were both ambushed at night, this time they adopted the tactic of steady and parallel advancement.

What made the lieutenant very strange was that the bandits had no comment on the arrangements for the previous battle...

Maybe they really want to take revenge, but it’s not right... they should be with the imperial army behind them, and their courage has become bigger.

In Chinese, this should be called "Dog Relying on Human Power"... There is another word called "Foxes marrying tigers"? I can't remember it...

Half an hour later, the leading bandit squad arrived at the artillery tower.

The south side of the Blockade Ditch is boundless and without the suspension bridge, it is difficult to fall down the attacking bandits and directly fill the bricks and rammed earth in the demolished artillery tower into the Blockade Ditch. The armored vehicles of the Royal Army have to pass here later.

A security army stared at her exhausted red eyes and kept thinking about whether she could get close to the armored vehicle and threw a grenade into the observation hole of the armored vehicle.

However, the Japanese were very prepared. As the Imperial Army, they had no chance to connect to armored vehicles.

I can only think of a solution after the battle begins later.

The lieutenant of the Japanese commanded one or two thousand numbers. Although most of them were mobs, he felt the pleasure of being a captain.

He did not expect these vulnerable bandit soldiers and the Imperial Army to really wipe out the rebels!

By the way, the eighth route ran very fast, but if he couldn't beat him, he would definitely run.

What he cares about now is how to make this group of mobs become helpers in the empire's governance and occupied areas. The superiors have issued strict orders to restore local public order as soon as possible.

In his eyes, even if a few Eighth Route Army soldiers were killed, the National Army guerrillas would be useless. On this poor plain, they would have snatched up all the things they should have.

It is said that in some places in the south where ordinary people starved to death, the imperial army has begun to distribute food and porridge to the poor so that they can farm well and collect grain when harvested in summer.

Those ordinary people have nothing to do with him if they die... In his eyes, can those who can't even wear clothes... be considered human?

The desolate scenery on the plains made the Japanese lieutenant not as nervous as before the war. He just came out to move his body in spring.
