The villagers of Dongwuling have seen planes flying back and forth over the village in the past year, but they have never been bombed by Japanese fighters, and today they saw planes diving in the air again, and they did not expect it to be so big, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

The villagers did not know that the planes in the air were getting bigger and bigger, mainly due to the altitude, and this time the planes in the air were like behemoths flying and swooping down from the east, and it looked like they were about to fall from the sky.

Lei Yunfeng led the 54th Regiment to Dongwuling, and found that the Japanese fighters were flying from the east, and immediately issued a loud order: "Order the troops to protect the villagers and quickly evacuate outside the village, and hide in the mountains to prevent Japanese planes from bombing."

The villagers of Dongwuling Village saw the rapid dive of the fighter planes in the air getting bigger and bigger, and did not feel the danger, like the devil, about to destroy their homes and destroy their lives.

The battalions, companies, and platoons of the 54th Regiment received the order to evacuate the masses to the fields outside the village, and immediately mobilized the villagers to abandon everything and quickly evacuate outside the village.

Some villagers not only did not cooperate with the evacuation, but instead ran into their homes shouting and bolted the door, no matter how they knocked on the door, they would not open.

Lei Yunfeng saw that some villagers did not cooperate, in order to protect the villagers and the soldiers of the 54th Regiment, he ordered to withdraw from the village as quickly as possible, and arranged for those villagers who refused to evacuate to hide, and did not run around in the village, so as not to become the target of hunting by Japanese fighters.

The Japanese fighter plane consisted of three bombers, and the captain of the plane, Ichiro Noda, was ordered to bomb the Shina troops that were ambushed on the front line of Dongwuling and secretly attacked the Japanese transport convoy.

It was also found that the Japanese transport convoy stretched for more than ten kilometers, and at this time, the smoke and flames of gunpowder rose into the air, and the entire transport convoy was completely destroyed by the Chinese troops, paralyzed on the road and became a pile of scrap metal.

Captain Ichiro Noda, the commander of the crew, angrily ordered three bombers to carry out retaliatory bombing of all the villages in the area of Dongwuling.

Three Japanese bombers roared and launched a savage and indiscriminate bombing of Dongdong, Xiwuling, Wangzhai Town, Xinjiahe, Majiawa and other villages. Dongwuling became the main target of the bombing by Japanese fighters, and it was also the first village to carry out the bombing.

Captain Ichiro Noda was the first to dive towards Dongwu Ridge from an altitude of 5,000 meters, and when he was still 1,000 meters above the ground, he began to drop extremely lethal bombs and fire at any living creature that appeared in the village with the most ferocious airborne machine gun.

Dongwuling was suddenly bombed by Japanese bombers, and the bombs exploded from the sky, killing and injuring the houses, villagers, and all the living animals within the range, either destroying or instantly strangling the lives of those who seemed very weak in front of the bombs.

The east and west Wuling were bombed by three waves of Japanese fighters almost at the same time, and the village, which was not too big, was bombed by Japanese fighters six times, and at this time it had been destroyed into ruins, and there were few houses that were not affected by the bombs.

The three Japanese bombers that bombed indiscriminately completed their retaliatory bombing mission against Dongwuling and Xiwuling, and immediately turned around and carried out savage and brutal bombing of villages in the vicinity of Majiawa, Wangzhai Town, and Xinjiahe.

Lei Yunfeng saw three Japanese bombers in the air, raging and indiscriminately bombing nearby villages, and had returned at this time, and the airspace around Dongwuling was temporarily safe, so he ordered the 54th Regiment to rescue the nearby villages as quickly as possible to minimize the losses.

The soldiers of the three battalions of the 54th Regiment were brutally and indiscriminately bombed several villages by Japanese fighters, causing huge casualties and losses to the villagers.

Lei Yunfeng sent three battalions of the 4th Regiment to nearby villages to carry out rescue, and more than an hour later received a report from the battalions that the Japanese bomber group bombed the villages around Dongwuling, causing great losses and casualties. Beautiful

He ordered all battalions to allocate manpower and material resources to help the villagers recover and save themselves, and organized the villagers to set up self-rescue teams to help the villagers whose houses were destroyed by Japanese fighters and whose families suffered heavy casualties.

The next day, the battalions basically completed the task of helping the villagers to save themselves and returned to Dongwuling.

Deputy Regiment Commander Hou Sheng reported: "Boss, this time our army fought a beautiful ambush battle against the Japanese transport convoy on the front line of Dongwuling, and the captured loot was very large, due to the hasty evacuation of the battlefield, a lot of loot was not taken away, you see ......." ”

"The deputy regiment commander ordered each battalion to organize two or three task forces to go to the nearby villages to mobilize the villagers to rush home the trophies that the troops had not taken with them, so as to relieve the difficulties caused by the bombing of enemy fighters.

If possible, we can do some propaganda and mobilization work to mobilize these mountain children as long as they want to resist Japan and fight devils, and our 54th regiment warmly welcomes them. ”

The 54th Regiment soon organized 10 work teams to go to the nearby villages to guide the work, and with the guidance and help of the work teams, the villages recovered their confidence from the pain and followed the work teams to the highway to rush the important materials left behind by the Japanese transport convoys.

The 54th Regiment carried out a selfless rescue of the villages, and risked rescuing the villagers in the bombing of the Japanese fighters in the air.

In just two days, the 54th Regiment has increased its strength by more than 200, and the actual number of troops of the 54th Regiment at this time has reached nearly 1,000, which can be regarded as a combat regiment with a basically full strength of the entire organization.

The Battle of Dongwuling was the first largest ambush battle on the defensive front of Zhongtiao Mountain, which not only wiped out seven transport squadrons, five garrisons, and seven operational garrisons of the Japanese military station in Qinshui City, but also severely damaged the Japanese army's logistics supply line.

Although the remnants of the Japanese convoy successfully broke through, it inflicted great casualties on this huge convoy, and the large quantities of weapons and equipment and important military supplies carried by the convoy became trophies of our army.

The materials that were not taken away were rushed back by the villagers in the nearby villages, which solved their temporary food and clothing.

The commander of the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater sent a telegram to Shangfeng: "'Investigating the 10th Division's encirclement and annihilation of the enemy in the area of Wangzhai Town, East and Xiwuling west of Qinshui, Division Commander Peng and all the officers and men of the division took the lead in the battle and rushed to kill them.

More than 1,500 enemies were killed, 24 were taken prisoner, 250 long and short guns, 28 light and heavy machine guns, 7 mortars, 289 trucks, 4 armored vehicles, 7 cars and other military supplies were captured. "The remnants of the enemy are still surrounded and annihilated by me in the areas of Doupogou, Gugou and Maoershan." ”

The battle at Dongwuling was a complete victory, and the capture of Japanese weapons, ammunition, vehicles, and military supplies was much more than reported above.

Among them, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the Third Column of the Decisive Death Brigade launched a sneak attack on the Japanese transport convoy and launched a large-scale attack in the battles of Wangzhai Town and Xinjiahe, and the 54th Regiment in the battles of Majiawa and Maoershan.

In order not to be snatched back by the Japanese army and continue to cause trouble, the commander of the 10th Division, Peng, ordered all units to blow up all the vehicles and burn the trophies that could not be taken away.

On the highway on the first line of Dongwuling, a terrifying series of explosions soon came out.
