Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

For traitors, any military commander hates them very much.Even if Yan Xishan thinks that those who are qualified to know the news are his confidantes.But if there is a betrayal by the confidants, that is the most heartbreaking and angry thing.

When the Jinsui Army secretly investigated the leaker, in the name of the artillery regiment directly under the headquarters, he entered the third regiment of the 127th Division's reconnaissance brigade, and also secretly arrived at the 127th Division's resident.But the Japanese army thought they were infantry attached to the artillery regiment.

Seeing that the headquarters sent all the artillery regiments directly under it, Dong Zhentang was equally happy and said, "With the artillery regiment's cooperation, our confidence in attacking Lingshi and Jiexiu will be much greater this time!"

On the contrary, the political commissar smiled and said: "Master, don't forget the boss's explanation. This time we attacked Lingshi and Jiexiu, saying that we were defending Fenxi by the Jinsui Army. In fact, it was the troops that covered Commander Zhou. , Let them infiltrate into Changzhi smoothly!"

The Third Regiment of the Reconnaissance Brigade, secretly transferred from Yulin, was naturally very happy about their mission this time.Even if they think that it must be very dangerous to operate in Changzhi with only one regiment.

But in contrast, their regiment entering Changzhi is equivalent to entering the belly of the little devil.At that time, the river will be turned upside down, and I believe it will make the little devil feel very uncomfortable.At that time, if you want to continue to attack Jincheng, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.

Zhou Bicheng, the head of the third reconnaissance regiment who stayed at the headquarters with the head of the artillery regiment of the headquarters, smiled and said: "Mr. Dong, political commissar He, Commander-in-Chief Zhu has already confessed when he came. Our third regiment will also cooperate with your attack on Lingshi. .

It will take a little time to smoothly send more than 3000 people from our regiment into the enemy-occupied area of ​​the little devil.After the battle begins, our first battalion, the main force, will act as the vanguard and enter Lingshi for pre-battle reconnaissance.

The remaining three main battalions will gradually withdraw from the battle and go to Changzhi to carry out our harassment mission.As for our current identity, we are still the infantry regiment sent by the headquarters to guard the artillery regiment.

If we leave by then, I also hope that Master Dong can send troops to protect the artillery regiment directly under it.Of course, if the little devil wants to surprise the artillery regiment, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.But beware, the little devil may dispatch planes during the day. "

'yes!In the past two days, our forward air defense observation post has discovered that the little devil's reconnaissance planes are conducting reconnaissance on our base area more frequently than usual.It seems that once a valuable target is found, the little devil's bomber will definitely be dispatched. '

Hearing Dong Zhentang's words, he was the head of the artillery regiment directly under the headquarters, and said with a smile: "Mr. Dong, why don't we also play a trick of deception. I heard Commander He say that artillery can actually be disguised.

At that time, in the Lingshi area, we will deploy a few more fake artillery positions and let the little devil's bombers bomb them.At most, some wood is wasted, but the little devil's aerial bomb shrapnel can be harvested.This deal should still be worth it! "

'That's a good idea!I hope that whatever we do, our main divisions can cooperate! '

Artillery camouflage is also a combat tactic handed down from the independent column.As the Eighth Route Army, the first unit equipped with an artillery brigade.The artillery tactics of the independent column are undoubtedly the most powerful in the Eighth Route Army.

Along with the heads sent by the two headquarters, they discussed the battle plan for attacking Lingshi with the division commander Dong Zhentang.After reporting to the headquarters and obtaining approval, the third reconnaissance regiment from Yulin set off as an advance force.

In the area where Lingshi borders Luliang, there are also guerrilla units of the Eighth Route Army.Just considering that the war was about to start, many people living in the area had withdrawn into the Luliang area and were placed in a relatively safe rear by the Eighth Route Army.

The first battalion of the third reconnaissance regiment began to enter the Lingshi area with a company platoon as a unit to conduct reconnaissance.Looking at the base established by the little devil in Lingshi, the first battalion in charge of reconnaissance also felt that the little devil had really lost his money this time.

In each stronghold, the little devil has deployed an infantry squadron and puppet army.With the strong fortifications of their strongholds, it is really not easy to destroy them.But this time, the work of the First Reconnaissance Battalion was not to attack the defenders of these strongholds.

With the cooperation of the local guerrillas, they quickly decided to surround the spot for help.Send a main company to cooperate with the local guerrilla forces to encircle these strongholds and attract Japanese troops from surrounding strongholds to come to support them.

Xiaowangzhuang, a very inconspicuous town in Lingshi.But this small town is also the nearest town to Luliang.The little devil, who was already ready for battle, saw a lot of troops wearing Eighth Route Army outside the city in the evening.

The Japanese army, which sounded the battle alarm, quickly entered the defensive position and watched the Eighth Route Army gradually surround them.Discovering that the Eighth Route Army still had mortars, the defenders at the stronghold immediately said, "Call the regiment commander and let us know the situation!"

Not long after the call was made, the captain of the Japanese army stationed at Lingshi was also surprised: "The Eighth Route Army is moving so fast! Which troops are closest to Xiaowangzhuang?"

'Reporting to the captain, the troops closest to Xiaowangzhuang are the troops we have deployed in Lizhuang and Chencun.However, there are not many troops in these two strongholds, only one infantry squadron and one puppet army squadron.

Except for these two strongholds which are closest to them, we have an infantry brigade stationed in Laoliuzhuang.If troops are sent out at this time, I believe they should be able to reach Xiaowangzhuang before dawn.But we don't know at the moment how many troops the Eighth Route Army has sent! '

'Call Xiaowangzhuang and ask how many troops surrounded them.In addition, call the commanders of the frontline strongholds and inform them to prepare for battle.We must stop the Eighth Route Army from attacking us! '

'Hi! '

What made the captain feel helpless was that the messenger returned shortly after and said, "Report to the captain, we have lost contact with the Xiaowangzhuang base. I'm afraid the phone line has already been cut by the Chinese army.

As for Li Zhuang and Chen Cun, no major hostility has been found for the time being.When talking to the commanders of the two strongholds earlier, they said that they also found signs of small groups of Tuba Road activities around their strongholds. "

According to the information obtained, the captain of the Japanese army stationed at Lingshi was also really aware of the Eighth Route Army's offensive.For him, the defender of Lingshi, he really felt an unspeakable pressure.

Even if there are many troops stationed in Lingshi, once the Eighth Route Army launches an attack.I'm afraid it's not easy to keep the Lingshi! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

<> Compared with the Japanese troops stationed in other areas, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi now have no contempt for the Eighth Route Army.The previous battle of Xintaiyuan, coupled with the later winter offensive, made the Japanese army feel the strength and uniqueness of the Eighth Route Army.

In previous battles with other Nationalist Army units, it was easy to see scenes of defeated troops surrendering.To the surprise of the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi, since they fought against the Eighth Route Army until now, they have not been able to capture a single prisoner who voluntarily surrendered.

It can even be said that most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were injured in their opinion would rather fight to the death when they were persuaded to surrender by them.Even the "Glorious Bomb" move shocked and admired the little devil.

It is said that the little devil admires Bushido very much. Among the main forces of the Eighth Route Army today, surrendering on the battlefield is a more painful thing than death.As long as there is some ability, no one is willing to be a prisoner of the little devil.

The reason is very simple. There are many prisoners of war included in the Eighth Route Army.These prisoners of war used to be members of the Nationalist Army, and later surrendered to the little devil, and were finally rescued by the Eighth Route Army.

These prisoners of war who thought they had died once knew very well that surrendering to the little devil is sometimes really worse than death.In addition to the political propaganda of the troops, the personal accounts of these prisoners of war also formed the atmosphere of the Eighth Route Army who would not surrender to the little devils.

Facing such an anti-Japanese army that always had to fight to the end, how could the little devil who was used to fighting with the wind dare to be negligent.At least for the Shanxi dispatched army, from Itagaki Seishiro to ordinary soldiers, they dare not underestimate the Eighth Route Army.

Knowing that the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold was besieged, the reinforcements from the surrounding strongholds were ordered to quickly retain a certain number of defenders, and the rest of the troops rushed to Xiaowangzhuang for reinforcements.The nearest infantry brigade also sent troops overnight to help.

Not long after these reinforcements left the stronghold, the Japanese army far away in Lingshi discovered that the two strongholds that sent reinforcements could no longer be contacted.Even if the stronghold did not fall, at least the communication line of the stronghold has been cut off.

Although the communication level of the Japanese army is much superior to that of the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to equip every stronghold with a radio station.Cutting off the telephone line set up by the little devil is undoubtedly too simple for the troops of the reconnaissance brigade.

As soon as the main force guarding the stronghold left, the remaining officers and soldiers at the two rear strongholds saw the Eighth Route Army troops surrounding them in the dark.Even though there were not many people, it made the little devils and puppet soldiers in the stronghold tremble with fear.

The Lingshi Guerrilla Brigade, which cooperated with the First Battalion of the Third Regiment of the Reconnaissance Brigade, looked excited and looked forward to seeing these regular Eighth Route Army soldiers.The reason is that these strongholds pose the greatest threat to their guerrilla activities.

'Chief, according to what we have detected.The little devils guarding this stronghold had already left more than 100 people before.In the current stronghold, including those second devils, there are probably less than 100 people.However, they have light and heavy machine guns with very strong firepower! '

Hearing what the guerrilla captain said, the reconnaissance company commander who was in charge of clearing out the stronghold said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are sure to deal with these little devils. Try to end the battle as soon as possible, we still have tasks ahead!"

The reconnaissance company commander who was talking nodded to the mortar soldiers beside him, and several artillerymen quickly set up mortars outside the stronghold.Seeing the Eighth Route Army set up mortars, the defenders in the stronghold were even more worried.

The squad leader who stayed behind said worriedly: "Have you not contacted the higher authorities yet?"

'No!Our phone lines should have been cut by them.In this situation, we can only stick to it.As long as we wait until dawn, we still have a chance.At that time, they will definitely retreat! '

The Japanese army squad leader naturally knew this truth.It's just that the squad leader is more aware that it is almost impossible to guard until dawn!After all, the troops attacking the stronghold were not the guerrillas they had contacted in the past.

After several artillerymen set up the cannons, the reconnaissance company commander smiled and said: "First platoon leader, lead a surprise attack and see the firepower deployment in the little devil's stronghold. Remember, warn those bastards to pay attention to me."

'Yes, Captain! '

'Sniper squad, get in place! '

When the first platoon was about to test and attack the stronghold, the sniper squad of the cooperating company had all found their positions.For these snipers, they are also the security and fire cover of these offensive forces.

As the mortar artillery fired first, a platoon of more than 40 soldiers, under the command of the platoon leader, began to rush towards the Japanese blocking positions and fortresses ahead.For such an attack, the Japanese army in the stronghold would naturally not sit still.

It's just that the blocking Japanese army outside the stronghold did not dare to raise their heads in the face of mortar attacks.Only the heavy machine guns deployed in the stronghold opened up quickly and fired at the attacking Eighth Route Army.

At the same time as the gunshots sounded, the attacking platoon of soldiers also got down in good time.By crawling forward, they kept approaching the Japanese blocking position outside the stronghold.Such a situation also worried the Japanese squad leader guarding the stronghold.

He roared: "Hit, hit me hard, don't let them get close to our blocking position."

In this process, the sniper squad that was in place in advance began to exert its strength.Accompanied by gunshots one after another, the Japanese soldiers on the stronghold were quickly killed one after another.The Japanese army in the blocking position also suffered a fatal blow.

'Baga, why do the other side have so many sharpshooters? '
