After the messenger left, Wang Chengzhu looked at the scouts in front of him and ordered: "You continue to stare in the direction of the Japanese occupation area and monitor every move of the Japanese army.

As soon as you have any news, report it to me immediately!"

Wang Chengzhu knew that once other Japanese troops learned that the 9th Brigade was besieged in Hulu Gorge, they would definitely rush over for reinforcements.

Therefore, Wang Chengzhu must guard against this.

Otherwise, when they were trying their best to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 9th Brigade, other Japanese soldiers suddenly launched a counter-encirclement from behind, which would be self-defeating.

As a qualified commander, Wang Chengzhu must avoid this situation from happening.

"yes!"

The scout agreed, saluted Wang Chengzhu, turned around and ran away quickly to carry out his mission...

Within the canyon.

After listening to Shimokawa Hide's report, Watanabe Kazuo said with a surprised look on his face: "Nani? Shimokawa-kun, do you think the Chinese army wants to encircle us and annihilate us in this canyon?"

"Hiyi!"

Shimokawa Xiu nodded heavily.

A look of disdain appeared on Kazuo Watanabe's face: "I know the combat effectiveness of the China Eighth Route Army. Even if the combat effectiveness of this new regiment is a little stronger than the ordinary Eighth Route Army, it will not be much stronger.

In the battle at Cangyun Ridge two months ago, they were lucky enough to blow up the headquarters of the Sakata Regiment and were able to break through the encirclement.

But in that battle, the casualties of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army were no less than those of the Bantian Regiment.

Right now, even if they have the geographical advantage, they cannot be the opponent of our Imperial Army's 9th Brigade."

Having said this, Kazuo Watanabe raised his head, glanced around, and said: "Although the terrain of Calabash Gorge is dangerous, in addition to the two exits on the east and west, there are actually many trails that can be climbed up.

As long as a part of the Imperial Army successfully climbs up through the trail and stands firm, it can be used as a springboard for other Imperial Army to follow and climb out of the canyon.

That’s when these Chinese Eighth Route Army troops will die!”

"Your 15th Regiment continues to attract and contain the firepower of the China Eighth Route Army at the west exit of the canyon. The 33rd Regiment immediately looks for a way up the mountain in the canyon!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Watanabe Kazuo finished speaking, bursts of fierce gunshots suddenly sounded above his head.

Immediately afterwards, a large swath of bullets poured into the canyon like a sudden rain, covering it.

In an instant, the unsuspecting little devil was caught off guard.

They fell down in pieces like leeks being cut with a knife.

Immediately afterwards, the smoke-laden grenades fell down one after another.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! -"

The grenades exploded one after another.

The bottom of the canyon was so narrow, and there were rocks everywhere, so the little devils couldn't disperse quickly, and they were killed and injured in a large area.

The bloody stumps and severed arms were scattered everywhere under the influence of the explosion shock wave.

"Uh-huh! My leg, my leg is broken."

"I'm injured, please save me. Medical soldiers, please save me. I don't want to die..."

Countless injured Japanese were lying on the ground, wailing and screaming in pain.

The medical soldier next to him just ran over to rescue the wounded, but a large hail of bullets poured over him again.

"Puff puff puff puff!..."

These Japanese medical soldiers were unable to evade, and were immediately beaten. Blood was thrown out, and their bodies fell limply to the ground. After a few twitches, they became silent.

This scene frightened the other Japanese medical soldiers, and they huddled in the corners of the canyon. No one dared to step forward to save people.

Under the protection of a group of guards, Watanabe Kazuo escaped to a safe location in the corner of the canyon.

He looked at his subordinates who were constantly being shot and fell to the ground, as well as being blown away by grenades and grenades. He was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead, and his face was distorted to the extreme, almost deformed, and he was as ugly as a ghost.

"Baga! Damn it, these damn China Tubal Roads!"

"Counterattack, counterattack! Counterattack immediately!"

"Kill these damned China Tubal Roadmen, and I will use their blood to comfort the souls of those Imperial Army soldiers in heaven!"

Watanabe Kazuo vigorously waved the command sword in his hand and ordered the troops to launch a counterattack.

However, all the soldiers of the Independent Battalion were on the mountain, occupying favorable terrain, and the Japanese attacks could not cause effective damage to them.

In particular, the soldiers of the independent battalion only need to throw the grenade with a slight force to throw it down the canyon.

And the Japs below the canyon, even if they broke their arms, couldn't throw grenades up the mountain...

Massacre, this is completely a one-sided massacre.

In just a few minutes, the Japanese 9th Brigade suffered hundreds more casualties, with corpses lying almost all over the bottom of the canyon.

The blood flowed along the terrain, forming terrifying small blood pools in some low-lying locations.

The disgusting smell of blood and gunpowder smoke spread out, almost suffocating!

"Chu tuk tuk! Ta da da!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom! -"

The killing continues.

However, because the Japanese were prepared and hid behind bunkers, the rate of casualties behind them was significantly slowed down.

Of course, Wang Chengzhu is not helpless.

Molotov cocktails have a miraculous effect when dealing with enemies hidden in nooks and crannies. Their sustained damage and deterrence even exceed those of hand grenades.

In addition, it can also be used against tanks.

Due to the limited industrial level of tanks during World War II, the gaps between the sheet metal were very large.

The fire from the incendiary bottle can completely enter the interior of the tank through the gaps. It can not only burn the tank soldiers in the cabin alive, but also burn the entire tank into an empty shell.

This has been proven throughout history!

During World War II, Soviet guerrillas used incendiary bombs against German tanks countless times. However, the greatest example of using incendiary bombs to achieve the greatest results was the Soviet-Finnish War.

At that time, the Finnish army was able to draw a tie with the Soviet army, which had absolute superiority in strength and weapons, with absolutely inferior strength and weapons. It can be said that the Molotov cocktail played a crucial role.

Without the use of incendiary bottles, the Finnish army would never be able to deal with the powerful tank clusters of the Soviet Red Army, no matter how geographically advantageous it was!

Of course, Wang Chengzhu did not personally experience the Soviet-Finnish War, so he did not have the opportunity to witness the grand scene at that time.

However, Wang Chengzhu still saw relevant videos online about the riots in Paris at the end of 2018.

In the video, several Molotov cocktails were thrown over, and an explosion-proof vehicle of the French police burst into flames in an instant, and finally turned into a pile of wreckage...

Molotov cocktails can not only deal with enemies hiding in nooks and crannies, but also deal with enemy tanks and other armored targets. The most important thing is that they are simple to make and very low-cost.

All you need is a glass bottle or ceramic bottle filled with liquor and gasoline.

When he was in Wangjiacun before, Wang Chengzhu ordered the troops to make a lot of Molotov cocktails. When marching and fighting, they always carried them with the army as combat-ready ammunition.

Originally, these Molotov cocktails were intended to be used against Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, but now many Japanese soldiers from the 9th Brigade are hiding in the nooks and crannies at the bottom of the canyon. It is difficult for bullets to hit them, and even grenades are difficult to cause damage to them.

Kill.

Helpless, Wang Chengzhu could only let these guys taste the power of the Molotov cocktail first.

"Brothers, throw down all the Molotov cocktails!"
