The Third Column used the right location to block the attack, and did not use heavy weapons such as mortars. It was not that there was no, but that there was another mysterious and mysterious person at the foot of the mountain, so he did not dare to bombard it with cannons.

Four main explosion points, nearly a hundred mines of various types, and a landmine feast is waiting for the enemy to become more and more dense. It is best if the group charges, it will burst out happily.

More than 200 puppet troops, under the command of a small number of Japanese troops, listed several squadrons. Hiroji Otake was confident that he would use this surge charge to capture the enemy's positions in one fell swoop and open the road to Yongcheng.

The guns and cannons started to sound, and the enemy shouted, and attack lines charged along the hillside toward the top of the mountain. The sound was very loud and spectacular.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters...

Four detonating handles were suddenly pressed down, "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"... The deafening explosions sounded one after another, the earth was trembling, and the smoke was spreading. The hillside, within a thousand meters of the foot of the mountain was like a sea of ​​fire.

The main explosion point detonated the partial explosion point, and the partial explosion point caused more branched mines. Gravels and shrapnel flying in the air, like a storm shattered by the god of death.

In this death storm, the Japanese and puppet troops screamed and wailed in the smoke, and were overturned like scarecrows. Especially around the two main explosion points, there were many enemies falling down, with holes in the bodies, and some were beaten into sacks.

On the surface, these two main explosive points are two huge rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms, but dozens of kilograms of explosives are buried under the huge rock. When exploded, the broken iron pressed under the big rock, the sharp stones will scatter to all directions under the squeeze of the big rock, just like a gate knife passing by in the waist that can sweep the surroundings! In principle, this mine, which is not a mine, is similar to anti-infantry directional thunder.

In addition to these two large directional mines and other ordinary mines, Yang Tianfeng also designed a small trick, which is to add a few grenades to the ordinary mines. Once the mine exploded, the grenades with the leads pulled off flew around, expanding the range of killing.

Some grenades exploded in the air, leaving the enemy without even a blind spot to dodge; some fell to the ground and rolled with blue smoke, exploding under the enemy's terrified screams and gaze.

Not only did the Japanese and puppet troops who were surging and charging suffered heavy losses, but the standby troops who were preparing to attack were also affected. The Japanese infantry cannons that were used to approaching bombardment were blown up by grenades flying in the air. The shells that had been loaded with fuses exploded. Not only did they destroy the artillery, but they killed and injured the Japanese artillery, but they also caused greater chaos and panic.

A grenade flew into the sky like a little black thorn and smashed it down hard. Several enemies were overturned to the ground in the rising smoke.

"Firepower cover, rescue the wounded, retreat..." Koji Otake struggled to get up from the ground, blood flowed down from his forehead, and the scenery seen in his eyes turned red.

He knew that he could not continue to fight. After this attack, chaos and panic would not be suppressed, and the troops would be difficult to fight without rectification.

The machine gun and rifle kept ringing like a bean, repelling the remaining charge enemy. Amid the shouts, the Third Column chased the defeated soldiers and launched a counterattack.

…………

For sweeping, it was a small battle that was originally a pursuit and suppression, so naturally it was not like regular troops who opened up the racks, cannons, planes, and tanks. From top to bottom, the Japanese did not regard the military goal of extermination of the Third Column as any important event.

Hundreds of thousands of national troops defeated them effortlessly, what can thousands of local troops do to me? But when I encountered a hard bone like Tiejiao Mountain, which combines various defense advantages, was attacked by landmines because of neglect of prevention and negligence, it was inevitable that heavy losses were caused.

"The enemy's losses are huge." Zhou Zhizhong, the commander of the 61st regiment, was very pleased. He pointed his hand and said, "Brother Yang, please see, the body is everywhere along the road from the foot of the mountain. Should I strike while the iron is hot and start a large counterattack?"

Yang Tianfeng had already raised his telescope to observe. Zhou Zhizhong was not wrong. The enemy retreated and left a large number of corpses. But looking at the military uniforms of the corpses on the ground, the puppet army accounted for the majority. This is not to say that the mines do not have eyes, but the puppet army rushed forward, with poor psychological quality and low training level. They ran around in panic, which increased casualties. The Japanese responded quickly and avoided more skillfully, so the casualties were naturally much smaller.

However, this round of mine attacks also achieved great results. The enemy's heavy weapons were too close and moved slowly, so they suffered considerable losses.

Although he had the advantage in military strength and repelled the enemy, Yang Tianfeng was still cautious about the large counterattack suggested by Zhou Zhizhong.

"I think it's better to make a decision after the situation is cleared." Yang Tianfeng put down his telescope and said to Zhou Zhizhong: "Brother Zhou, the Japanese suffer because they don't know our background. We should not be too tempted and make the same mistake."

Zhou Zhizhong smiled and nodded, not very concerned about his suggestions being not accepted. According to the original plan, he would lead the two battalions that he arrived in the early stage, plus the special forces drawn by the Third Column to form a roundabout force, attack the enemy's rear route, and strive for a complete annihilation. The Third Column can consume the enemy in blocking, and his troops will be less casualties during counterattack.

However, Zhou Zhizhong was still surprised by the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Third Column. He was a smart person, but he was afraid of death when fighting. He was just more interested in thinking than those officers who rushed and beat hard, and his temper was gentler. Although the plan for the roundabout encirclement was determined, he still did not act rashly. He first observed whether the Third Column could successfully block the attack and withstand the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Now, Zhou Zhizhong felt that he could lead the team to set off with confidence and attack by circling around. He didn't spend a long time together, but Zhou Zhizhong was originally a smart officer and observed it very carefully. He already recognized that the Third Column was a trusted teammate.

The relationship between Zhou Zhizhong and Yang Tianfeng is quite harmonious. Under the governance of Sun Tongxuan, the Third Army had strict military discipline, which has a lot to do with the old traditions of the Northwest Army. Because of this, military and local conflicts can be avoided as much as possible. You must know that Yang Tianfeng is the army that hates loose military discipline the most, and has always been very strict in governing the army.

In fact, the Third Column does not have much practical experience in this kind of battle that opens its posture. It only depends on the territorial and fortifications, so it is more at ease. In field battles, although they have the advantage of military strength, they are not the most confident choice.

This is also something that Yang Tianfeng has some concerns. He lured the enemy into deep, surrounded and annihilated it. This sounds simple and is also a very advanced tactic, but he is not sure whether the troops can be competent to achieve it.

Therefore, based on favorable terrain and complete fortifications, it can not only block, train troops, but also consume the enemy and destroy the enemy's spirit. It is a more realistic and safe way to play.

Of course, Yang Tianfeng and the staff did not have to defend and take the lead. There were other tricks in the anti-sweeping military plan. For example, the 61st Regiment of the reinforcements had to detour to the enemy's side and rear to prepare for intercepting and siege.
