Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

The 129th Division's takeover of the independent brigade defense area was not a full takeover by large forces, but rather the dispatch of some local government officials to focus on the construction of liberated areas.

In addition, some grassroots military backbones were dispatched to gradually transform into armed police forces with the cooperation of local troops.

After the independence brigade leaves, there will be no fighting here for the time being, and the army is mainly responsible for local security.

Therefore, it will not take up much strength in the 129th Division.

Most of the 129th Division still continued to exert pressure on the Plaster Army in southern Hebei.

The Independent Brigade in southern Shanxi swept away the remaining Japanese pirate enemies with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

In Qixian County, after receiving the news, the original Yellow Shoes Army immediately "taken care" of the Japanese and kept their weapons docile and well-maintained.

As long as the Japs stay in the barracks and don't come out, it's easy to say anything.

If you dare to go out, you will definitely be "taken care of" more comfortably.

When the third regiment and one battalion who came to "capture" Qixian arrived, they successfully took over Qixian without firing a shot and captured more than a hundred Japanese.

Accepted more than 300 yellow shoe troops who surrendered.

The Yellow Shoe Army in Qixian County also organized a welcome ceremony, which was as lively as that in Wuxiang.

With this lesson learned, the Japanese in other counties no longer dare to trust the Yellow Shoe Army.

The fight mode was started directly.

After the troops from each battalion and company of our independent brigade arrived, basically all that was left to do was to make a side stand openly and openly.

Pingyao is different from other counties:

The Japanese and the Yellow Shoe Army coexisted peacefully, lined up on both sides, waiting for the independent brigade to review.

Weapons and ammunition are placed in categories and a list is compiled.

Well, before coming to Pingyao, our army was still thinking about how to preserve the ancient city of Pingyao as much as possible.

Thanks to the implementation of the prisoner policy, our army's preferential treatment of prisoners has been well known to the Japanese pirates.

When the Japanese did not have orders, they would be punished by the plaster military if they fled to the north of Taiyuan; and if they surrendered to the Independence Brigade, they would still receive preferential treatment.

If you compare two and one, why should you fight so hard? Just surrender!

In the past, I didn't dare to surrender because I was worried about my family. Now my family is no different alive or dead, and the Japanese don't care much about it.

In the past year, the Japanese who fought with the Independence Brigade have almost never secretly fired weapons under the guise of surrender; in the past six months, the Independence Brigade has also implemented the prisoner policy very thoroughly.

After political commissar Zhao personally did ideological work, the majority of commanders and soldiers realized the importance of treating prisoners preferentially.

The effects of the captive policy are fully demonstrated today.

But it also made the commanders and fighters at all levels of the independent brigade feel unsatisfied.

The 386th Brigade encountered some troubles in its attack on Taiprinciple.

The 386th Brigade cleared Taiyuan's peripheral strongholds one by one early in the morning and surrounded Taiyuan.

This time, when it came to whether he could catch Souchong Yinan, the brigade commander decided not to use the method of surrounding three people.

Just like Li Yunlong fought against Xiangyuan, as long as the Japanese do not surrender, they will fight to the end!

There are three difficulties in fighting Taiyuan:

One is that in the past year and a half, some of our troops have been equipped with extremely advanced weapons and equipment. The Japanese have suffered successively at the hands of our Independent Brigade and the 386th Brigade. The Japanese are not fools and have been thinking of solutions.

Their own weapons and equipment are also constantly being strengthened and adjusted according to our changes. For example, the 110mm rocket launcher appeared some time ago.

This time, they obtained a large number of anti-tank mines, all of which were buried in and around Taiyuan.

The second one is that the Japanese dug a lot of underground fortifications to target our heavy artillery. This is also inspired by the pre-death report of the four people in Huashui County.

The last one, Taiyuan is an ancient city. Jinyang, Longcheng, and Bingzhou were all nicknamed by it. Its construction history lasts for more than 2,000 years.

Therefore, there are some cultural relics and historic sites in Taiyuan that our army is reluctant to blow up, including the Taiyuan City Wall.

Although these are not as precious as human lives, if the Japanese resist fiercely, our army would rather blow up the Taiyuan city wall completely.

But it makes our army somewhat unable to let go.

Let’s keep as much of the things left by our ancestors as we can.

As for the reinforcements to the north of Taiyuan, the brigade commander was not worried.

With the strength and firepower of the 386th Brigade, the Japanese are welcome to come to our aid! It's best to fight a big battle like the siege and annihilation of Huashui County Four!

In that battle, the Japanese and puppet troops lost a total of more than 80,000 troops.

Now the weapons and equipment of the 386th Brigade have been further upgraded, battle losses have been replenished, and new recruits have been trained.

Although it did not set up an air force like the independent brigade, it also learned the technology of launching missiles from drones.

If such a war were to happen again, I'm afraid the enemy's losses would be more than 100,000.

Even if the Japs have millions of troops in China, they can't stand being attacked like this!

The 386th Brigade first encountered mine warfare instead of tunnel warfare outside Taiyuan City.

There are anti-personnel mines, there are anti-tank mines.

Until the 21st century, anti-tank mines remained an effective weapon against tanks.

Compared with the tracks of tanks during World War II, the tracks of our army's infantry fighting vehicles have been strengthened, and their strength is two to three times that of those during World War II.

But even so, being blasted by an anti-tank mine is still unbearable.

The brigade commander ordered the artillery to suppress the Japanese artillery fire and sent engineers to clear mines. Certain results have been achieved. But engineers are also very dangerous, and many young soldiers gave their precious lives.

Someone summarized the top ten dangerous occupations in relatively peaceful times:

War correspondents, deminers, deep-sea divers, firefighters, aerial operators, mining workers, border patrol agents, oil drillers, wildlife rangers, mercenaries.

Demining engineers were prominently present.

Now during the war, demining work is even more dangerous.

Engineers not only have to guard against mines under the ground, but also against bullets and artillery shells fired by enemies on the ground.

In order to reduce casualties, the brigade commander ordered the engineers to withdraw, covered the minefield outside the city with artillery fire, and detonated a large number of mines.

Compared with manual mine clearance, the method of artillery fire coverage is much more efficient, but it has a drawback: it cannot guarantee that all mines will be detonated.

In the end, personnel are still needed to clear mines.

Just when the brigade commander was at a loss to deal with the Japanese mine array, he received a call from the headquarters:

"Brigadier, what are you so anxious about? The Japanese planes don't dare to come, the Japanese inside don't dare to come out, and the reinforcements from outside don't dare to come. Just clear the mines slowly!"

"Boss, don't hurry! Since the beginning of the year, we won a great victory and annihilated more than 80,000 Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese have transferred a lot of troops from the south and some from the northeast, and they are on their way here.

In the south, the Japanese and Jiang Wufa have effectively ceased war, and Jiang Wufa is also eyeing us.

I'm afraid that if we delay it any longer, something might happen! "

"What you said makes sense. Not only domestically, but also internationally, the situation is not good for us. But you still don't have to rush to send engineers to clear mines.

Researchers from our General Logistics Department have just developed a remote-controlled vehicle that can remotely control mine clearance. Although it is slower, it is safer.

You stop first, and the first batch of ten cars will be delivered in three days. From now on, we can produce almost ten cars every day. "

"Really? That's great! The researchers of the General Logistics Department are really good! I think, after this battle is over, I will give them credit!

In the past few days, more than 100 soldiers have died due to mine clearance. Many are still children under the age of twenty. Many soldiers were disabled by the bombing.

Seeing the sacrifices of the soldiers, I felt very guilty. I couldn't imagine what their parents looked like when they heard the news. It was as if the sky was falling! "

"I understand your feelings, but how can there be immortality in a war? All we living people can do is to destroy the enemy and achieve peace in the world as soon as possible!

Only in this way can we live up to the dying wishes of the fallen soldiers and comfort their spirits in heaven.

Fortunately, now there is a perfect solution.

However, you may encounter some unexpected situations in the future, and you need to be more vigilant. It is better to go slower and sacrifice fewer soldiers. "

"I understand!"

"Notify the forward position to stop the attack! The infantry fighting vehicles are placed at the front and form a circle. The drones and artillery continue to suppress the Japanese. Wait for the demining vehicles to arrive before continuing to clear the mines."
