Let’s not talk about the 5th brigade and Weiyuan brigade in a desperate battle with huge strength in the mountains and ridges, let’s talk about Xu Shijiu.

As the 19th Detachment's troops were greatly reduced, Xu Shijiu had to give up the overall contraction and focus on defense strategies, instead pulling the troops to the periphery, trying to rely on the sixteen-character policy to lead the 14th Brigade of Japan's independence and form a mixed 14th Brigade. When the Japanese are tired, tired, and lose weight, they will give a fatal blow.

This is actually the movement tactics that Zhu and Mao had tried in the Central Soviet Area, and the effect was very good. Chiang Kai-shek's first four encirclements and suppression were defeated by this tactic. If it weren't for the German adviser Li De usurping command power and abandoning the movement tactics and practicing the tactics of resisting the enemy outside the country, maybe China would have changed seven years ago.

The essence of sports warfare is that you always have to hold your opponent and make your opponent see you, but you must never let your opponent bite you. This is like driving a donkey. You have to put a carrot in front of the donkey and constantly lure the donkey forward, but you can't really let the donkey eat the carrot, so it is important to keep the distance.

In other words, the distance cannot be too far. If you are too far, you cannot mobilize your opponent at all, nor can you be too close. If you are too close, your opponent may surround you and eat you up.

But the problem is that he is not stupid either. He will not really follow you obediently, and you will be led by your nose and circling around the mountains. Moreover, the Japanese have the cooperation of the air force. He can detect your whereabouts from the sky and make corresponding arrangements according to the direction of your march. Therefore, you cannot just take care of your own actions, and you have to consider the other party's reaction.

In short, mobile warfare is also a very high risk, and it also tests the commander's wisdom and technical skills. This tactic cannot be played by any one. Otherwise, why can't the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area leave Xu Xiangqian? Otherwise, why can't the Central Red Army cross the Chishui River immediately after the parliamentary meeting, making Xue Yue unable to distinguish between the southeast, southwest and north?

Last time, Xu Shijiu had experience in using mobile warfare, but that time he was facing a brigade, but this time he was facing a brigade, equipment, firepower, and force, so the command difficulty was more than ten times higher than last time. Any small mistakes in the middle will immediately end up with the destruction of the entire army.

In order to win this mobile war and smash the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Independence, Xu Shijiu had to calculate his capital over and over again like a miser, and at the same time he tirelessly reminded several front-line commanders, especially the Lu Jianbang, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion who was responsible for the bait.

"Old Lu, please tell me. If the little Japanese does not enter within 100 meters, they are not allowed to fire. If it is absolutely necessary, machine guns are strictly prohibited. Our ammunition reserves are not much. We must save some money. When the end, we have to fight back. You can't destroy all your assets early, have you heard?"

"I heard it, Captain, don't worry,"

"There is, you must judge the situation. Do you know what it means to judge the situation? If the little Japanese is just a tentative attack, you must take it back. But if the little Japanese is ruthless and serious, then retreat quickly. Don't get too entangled with the little Japanese, especially not fighting with the little Japanese hand-to-hand combat. Remember?

"I remember, captain, I heard calluses in my ears."

"Old Lu, I tell you, don't be impatient. This battle is related to the life and death of our 19th Detachment. The tasks undertaken by your 3rd Battalion are particularly important. Therefore, there cannot be any negligence, and there must be no mistakes. Do you know?"

"I know, I know, I know, don't worry, captain, I will do as you told me, and I will ensure that there will be no mistakes."

"Okay, then you can tell me first, where are you going to choose the battlefield?"

"Huangyangao, I have carefully looked at the map. The terrain of Huangyangao is the most favorable. First, there are ready-made fortifications left by the 4th regiment in the past to be used. Second, the Dulong Valley is not far behind Huangyangao. The terrain is relatively complex, which is conducive to our transfer. Another thing is Huangyangao, which is located outside Erlong Mountain. The little Japanese will be relatively lighter in vigilance and will be more likely to be deceived."

"Okay, then choose Huangyangao."

As soon as the Vickers armored vehicle stopped, Major Yamamoto, the captain of the 56th Battalion of the Independent Infantry, rushed forward and opened the car door.

At the opening of the car door, Colonel Haneda, the captain of the Longkou military police, got out of the car first, then turned around and protected the upper edge of the car door with his hands. Then, Takae Fujido lowered his head and walked out of the car. Major Yamamoto quickly took a step forward and paid tribute.

Takayo Fujido pulled the white gloves on his hand and asked in a relaxed tone: "San Yamamoto, what's going on before?"

Major Yamamoto lowered his head and replied: "God of General, our vanguard team had just been blocked by the Chinese army in Huangyangao. A tentative attack launched by the vanguard team was disintegrated, but it also identifies the virtuality and reality of the opposite Chinese army. The vanguard team had about one battalion of troops and a small number of artillery."

"Is that true, the troops of a battalion and a small number of artillery?" Fujido Takayoshi said thoughtfully, "According to the principle of preparing part of the front, part of the flank, part of the preparation part, if there is a battalion on the front line, the nearby Chinese army will definitely have more than one regiment. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is now only one regiment of troops, and this should be their main force."

Haneda said: "Your Excellency General, Xu Shijiu is always cunning, and it is not ruled out that this is his suspicious plan."

"Well, Haneda Sang, what you said makes sense. It is indeed impossible to rule out this possibility." Fujido Takayo nodded and said, "However, is this a suspicious plan set by Xu Shijiu? Just try it and you will be clear. Order the artillery brigade to prepare for artillery fire, and the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade takes the back and launches a general attack on Huangyangao."

"Hayi"

"Hayi"

Yamamoto, the captain of the 56th Battalion of the Independent Infantry, and Ikeda, the captain of the Artillery Battalion, were also the captain of the brigade.

"Anti-cannons are here, anti-cannons are here, hurry up and hide in the anti-cannon hole."

"Why are you talking about it? Are you still stunned? Are you trying to die?"

"You sloppy guy, you're about to die, and you're still in the mood to smoke?"

Lu Jiangang bent over and ran forward along the main trench while loudly reminding all the officers and soldiers of the battalion to defend against artillery.

If it were the 19th Brigade of the past, the Lu Jian Gang didn't need such a hard work. He just needed to say hello, and the brothers would all hide in the anti-aircraft artillery hole in the blink of an eye. But the 19th Brigade is not good now. Most of the brothers today have not been bombarded by little Japanese, and they don't know how powerful the Japanese artillery is.

The little Japanese shells were coming, and there were still people standing in the trenches and smoking and chatting.

As the battalion commander, Lu Jiangang could only grit his teeth and crawl out of the anti-cannon hole, loudly reminding these indifferent green guns.

"Boom" A shell landed more than ten meters away and exploded. The shock wave generated by the explosion overturned Lu Jian Gang to the ground. Fortunately, the caliber of the Japanese shell was only 75mm, and the lethality of the shock wave more than ten meters away had been greatly reduced. If a shell with a caliber of more than 10 meters was not hit by a fragment, the shock wave could tear you into pieces.

However, the explosion of the 75mm caliber shell was not a joke. Lu Jian Gang was blown up and there was only a buzzing roar in his ears. He could not hear any other sounds. Lu Jian Gang sat up from the ground and looked around and saw that the entire defensive position was covered by strong smoke, and he could not see clearly the figure twenty meters away.

"Boom" another shell fell not far away, causing the ground under your feet to tremble violently.

The guard platoon leader rushed over from the anti-aircraft hole and yelled at the Lu Jian Gang, but the Lu Jian Gang could not hear anything. He only saw the guard platoon leader yelling there with his mouth wide open. Then the guard platoon leader rushed over and threw Lu Jian Gang to the ground. Then, the Lu Jian Gang felt a violent shock under him. The Lu Jian Gang felt like he was hit by someone in the chest and almost stopped breathing.

Next, there was a huge explosion, a sharp whistling sound from shells flying over the head, and the shouts of brothers. Various sounds gathered together and poured into his ears like a tide, almost shattering his eardrums. Lu Jian Gang screamed and quickly covered his ears with both hands. It took a while before he could let go.
