Chapter Twenty-Four: The Cheetah Is Established and Cannot Be Defeated

Xiaobao led everyone directly to the direction of Dingxian County, and he knew that the devil would come from the direction of Shiyu Town. Along the way, the people were panicked, and many began to flee to places where there was no fighting.

Da Zhuang, Shui Wa and others only knew at this time how difficult it was to live a happy life at home, and the embarrassment they were about to face, more than a dozen people had no reinforcements, no logistics, more than a dozen broken guns from a few years ago, how to eliminate the devil without many bullets?

Before leaving, Xiaobao also wanted his brother-in-law to change a few good guns, but now the army is in short supply of guns, many combat units are not fully allocated, and the security regiment is also short of ammunition and medicine. No guns, no cannons, the devils made them for us! Let my brother-in-law buy some rare drugs through connections, such as penicillin, and get more than a dozen boxes.

In the direction of Pingding County in Taiyuan, the 20th Division of the Devil Regiment advanced from Shiyu Town, Jingcheng County, Hebei Province along the Zhengtai Road to Pingding County, planning to capture the county seat, and the devil who should attack Datong head-on to Taiyuan was an unintentional revelation when he escaped from the staff officer of the Pingding County Garrison Corps Headquarters.

Xiaobao decided that the first battlefield was carried out in the mountainous area of Pingding County, relying on the advantages of the mountains, using effective guerrilla tactics, shooting a shot to change places can be fought, and if you can't fight, you can go, the Taihang Mountains will also become the main base of the Eight Road J, here is the border of the two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei, surrounded by mountains, heavy mountains and mountains, ravines and ravines, steep canyons, dangerous roads, is a good place to fight guerrilla warfare, convenient for concealed retreat, with their own dozen or so jungle trained team members, to catch them, like looking for a needle in a haystack, than to climb to the sky, Take advantage of this to strengthen your own power and strongly support the team of Eight Road J.

During the lunch break, Xiaobao informed everyone of his plan and said: "Today we have reached the boundary of Pingding County, which is very close to the devils, and there may be a battle with the devils at any time, and now it is announced that our thirteen people form the "Cheetah" team of the anti-Japanese war team, I am the captain, and the red soldier is the deputy captain, because the devils are well equipped, we must rely on the principle of not fighting tough battles in the mountains, the battlefield is not child's play, the whole squad must obey the order and obey the command, and now we are still weak, in order not to attract the attention of others, For the time being, do you know that you are a member of the security corps? ”

"Yes" everyone shouted back, and they all felt that the name of the "Cheetah" team was still domineering. In the future, the devils will definitely be frightened when they hear the "Cheetah" squad, in fact, they have long been a disciplined squad, but today they officially have the name of the squad, and thirteen squad members plus four war dogs will be the devil's nemesis.

Their strange combination made it inconvenient to stay in the homes of ordinary people, so Xiaobao arranged to find a cave on the mountain to live temporarily and familiarize himself with the environmental route of the nearby hillside.

At the regimental headquarters of the 123rd Regiment of the Jin Sui Army stationed in Pingding County, Regiment Commander Liu was throwing a teacup and was furious, and the regiment headquarters received an order from the brigade commander to block the attack of the advance force of the island army from Shiyu Town outside Pingding County, so as to win coordination and deployment time for the headquarters and friendly forces of all parties, and there were also troops in the Datong direction to block the attack of the 19th Division of the island army.

The brigade commander finally put the overall situation first, and promised to immediately send a chief of staff from the brigade headquarters to coordinate the formulation of the battle plan, and ordered the regiment commander Liu to immediately go to the middle section of the Taihang Mountain Zhengtailu Mountain Range to measure the necessary way to come in the direction of the fish, and to build fortifications to block the enemy. If necessary, the brigade headquarters will ask for the support of Zeng Wanzhong's troops of the Third Army in Jiuguan, and Xiyang also has the strength of a regiment of the Jin Slow Army, if they can get assistance from both of them, with natural risks, it is not a problem to block the Japanese army for two or three days, and the task must be completed.

Regiment Commander Liu personally commanded the construction of fortifications, led a battalion to fortify 10 kilometers in front of Niangzi Pass at the north gate of Pingding County, and built a second fortification, two of which were connected to power stations, and provided support at any time in case of danger.

In the afternoon, the staff officer of the brigade headquarters came, and Regiment Commander Liu returned to the regiment headquarters to discuss military affairs. The cadres at and above the company level were notified to hold a meeting, and the staff officers conveyed the order of the brigade commander and sent a team to supervise the battle.

The battalion and company commanders were quite frightened when they saw this formation, it seemed that Commander Yan was really fighting against the devil this time, in order to defend the old nest Taiyuan, he did not hesitate to fight a decisive battle with the army of the island country to the end, and he also wanted to give an explanation to the people of Shanxi.

Seeing this situation, Regiment Commander Liu discussed with the staff officers to set up the regimental headquarters in the second fortification office and send a . The second battalion went to the Zhangjiawan Pass 25 kilometers away from Niangzi Pass, the first battalion held the pass, the second battalion responded on the side of the mountain, and faced the enemy with a flanking attack from above and below, the command left three battalions and an artillery battalion to prepare for support, and each of the two positions sent a squad of soldiers to supervise the battle. Besides, the devil's heavy weapons are not useful, and they can fulfill the orders given by the brigade commander.

The Yamada Brigade, which had just stopped in the town of Shiyu, was ordered by the brigade commander to immediately march to Pingding County as an advance army, opening up the road and blocking obstacles, and the large army followed up and prepared to attack the county seat.

Yamada Dazuo immediately gathered the team, commanded the brigade to prepare for the march, and advanced to Pingding County, the devil soldiers were screaming, and the battle after entering China made the little devils think that they were invincible in the world, invincible, and had not encountered strong resistance in China, and many of the national D army gave up the pool when they saw the devils attacking and firing a few shots, and did not meet the enemy at all...... As a result, the army of the island country was unscrupulous and arrogant in the face of the Chinese army.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yamada's brigade came to the pass of Duanjiawan not far from Niangguan Mountain, Yamada Dasa saw that the mountain was steep and was a place conducive to ambush, for the sake of safety, he ordered the troops to stop and sent more than 10 soldiers to reconnoitre, and the second battalion that had been ambushed on the mountain had already received a report from the scouts, and the devils had come over and were ready for battle.

The fighters of the first battalion got the devil coming, the bullets were loaded, and the machine guns were mounted. Just wait for the devils to enter the position, before the bombing on the highway is sounded, the second battalion will not be exposed and shoot, and it is necessary to wait for the devils to enter the encirclement roll, so as to attack up and down, and try to eliminate the devil's living force.

The soldiers of the first battalion saw that many devils were within range, and they had not yet heard the battalion commander give the order to shoot, and for the first time they had short-distance contact and engagement with the devils, the string in their hearts was very tight, and the hands holding the guns were sweating.

It's a pity that the devil's car stopped more than 20 meters behind the road where the bomb was buried, and it exploded at this time, and the damage to the devil was not great, and more than a dozen devil fire reconnaissance bullets were shot in front of a soldier and on the stone, he thought that he was found by the devil, and he was particularly nervous The gun suddenly went off and the gun went off, and the devil reacted quickly and immediately flashed to both sides to find cover and shoot back.

Exposed, the battalion commander gave the order to open fire, and in an instant, the gunfire was loud, and hundreds of guns of the battalion shot at the devils, and suddenly several devils were shot and fell.

Later, Yamada Ichiro heard the rush and knew that he was ambushed, and analyzed the number of people from the number of robbing, so he pulled out his command knife and waved, "Go forward and destroy that army." ”

A Nakazo shouted and led nearly a hundred people to rush forward, and some medical soldiers went up to rescue the wounded.

The commander of the second battalion saw that dozens of devils had arrived at the place where the bomb was buried, and immediately detonated a "boom" sound, and more than a dozen devils were blown up and fell to the ground, and the soldiers of the second battalion opened fire together, and suddenly machine guns, rifles, and grenades also flew towards the crowd of devils, and the devils were caught off guard for a while, and many devils were killed and wounded, and the devils who rushed forward hurriedly retreated.

The devils are indeed well-trained, and the reaction is extremely fast, a few machine guns cover the retreat of the devils in front, and at the same time quickly set up mortars, shells cover the positions of the first and second battalions, the position was hit by a number of shells and suffered heavy casualties, the position was in a panic, although the devils who rushed to the front were killed and wounded, forty or fifty people, but after withdrawing, they used cars and stones as cover to fight back, although they shot from the bottom to the top, many soldiers were hit or wounded by shrapnel, and the soldiers were huddled in the trenches, holding their heads with both hands, and had no power to fight back, Two soldiers of the inspection team were also killed, and several other people were stunned when they saw this situation, only to be beaten, not to mention the soldiers, they all wanted to run, looking at the battalion commander with an anxious face and not knowing what to do.

The two battalion commanders felt helpless and sad, a good ambush battle, two battalions of nearly 800 troops, and strong fortifications, but they were in a state of being beaten, and now each battalion has suffered nearly 100 casualties, and they can't retreat, are they waiting to be killed by the devils? With such a powerful firepower, even if it is completely annihilated, it will not take long, and the blocking task issued by the regiment commander will definitely not be completed, what should I do? Faced with the current predicament, they don't know whether to fight or withdraw?

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Yamada Daisa thought for a while and decided to reduce unnecessary casualties. It is better to use plenty of shells to bombard the positions on both sides, the terrain is not conducive to the charge, so use the shells to destroy the soldiers! There's no way, who makes the devil rich?

Six mortars fired in unison, the shells fell into the positions of the first and second battalions like hail, and the first battalion suffered more than half of the casualties, because they were directly in front of the attack, the soldiers were hiding in the trenches, and they were easily hit by falling shells, the commander of the first battalion saw that the situation was not good, if he did not retreat, the whole battalion would be explained here, and the supervising team had long been blinded by the firepower of the devils, and first thought that with their numbers and terrain, even if they could not eliminate the advance brigade of the devils, at least there was no problem in repelling the devils, and the majesty of the 123rd regiment of the Jin Slow Army was played. Now I know that the gap between the two sides is so big, no wonder the devil occupied so many cities in China in such a short time, and hurriedly retreated, withdrew to Niangziguan and joined head Liu, the telephone line has been blown up, and there is no way to ask for instructions, so I can only make a decision immediately. After a brief discussion between the commander of the 1st battalion and the overseer, he issued an order to retreat, carrying the seriously wounded, supporting the lightly wounded, leaving the bodies of the fallen soldiers, not bothering to bury them, abandoning the position, and betraying the previous promise to advance and retreat with the 2nd battalion and fled in embarrassment.

The second battalion had already retreated a few dozen meters back of the mountain during the second round of artillery bombardment, and the commander of the second battalion decisively ordered to withdraw from the shelling range at that time. Twenty or thirty people have already been sacrificed, and dozens of others have been injured in different ways, so we can only blame the first battalion for shooting before the devils entered the encirclement, disrupting the combat deployment, and the first battalion should bear full responsibility for this? Go back and report to the regiment commander like this? Just when the order to retreat was about to be issued, who expected that the first battalion would abandon him and retreat, and not give himself the opportunity to violate the regiment commander's order to be in the position first, leaving the second battalion alone to face the murderous devils, how could they deal with it? Didn't they make their second battalion cannon fodder? He hated the battalion commander in his heart, and he didn't want to think that he didn't think the same way, but it was just easier for the battalion to slip down below? The commander of the second battalion ordered the soldiers to retreat to the rear while fighting, looking for an opportunity to retreat back to join the regiment commander.

Seeing that the troops in front of him had fled, Yamada Osa immediately sent a small team to pursue, and sent another squadron to encircle and suppress the ambush soldiers on the mountain, and they could no longer escape, and the imperial soldiers were killed in four or five and ten people had to be buried with them, and more than 200 devils chased them up the mountain, and soon found that the shadows of the soldiers of the second battalion were shooting.

The commander of the second battalion saw that it was difficult to get rid of the pursuers behind him, so he could only use the stubborn resistance of the stones and woods to fight back, and when he saw this situation, he knew that today was more than auspicious, and at this time the soldiers of the whole battalion had no fighting spirit and no love to fight. The devils attacked more and more, getting closer and closer, the bullets of the devils flew by, and from time to time soldiers fell. If this continues, it is impossible to escape the situation of annihilation, and the hearts of the soldiers of the whole battalion are desperate.

"Fight, kill one and count one, and you have to pull a few pads when you die," the second battalion commander shouted at the remaining soldiers.

When the devil saw that the Jin Sui army in front of him had retreated to the mountain col and had nowhere to escape, he screamed even more and rushed even more crazy.
