Chapter 443: Qingxiang (Chapter 5: Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Shuanghe Town is a large town less than 20 miles away from the county seat of Heyuan.

The reason why Shuanghe Town is called Shuanghe Town is because there are two rivers flowing through the town, thus scouring out a large plain, which is already a rare grain-producing area in the northwest of Shanxi Province, where every inch of land is valuable.

Half a year ago, Shuanghe Town was a stable security area for the Japanese army.

But since two months ago, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army began to extend its tentacles to Shuanghe Town, and the people in the town began to refuse to pay grain to the Japanese puppet government.

The Japanese puppet government in Heyuan County sent several groups of Qingxiang squads to Shuanghe Town to collect grain, but instead of collecting the autumn grain accumulated last year, they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army several times in succession, and the losses were very heavy.

It's pitiful to say, the activity area of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province has actually approached the county seat.

The scope of the Japanese puppet army's activities has been basically reduced to the important strongholds along the Tongpu Railway and more than a dozen county seats, and the towns and towns that are a little farther away from the county seat have completely lost control.

As for the remote towns, not to mention, they completely fell under the control of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, it was the cold time of spring, and most of the people in the town shrank on the kang for the winter.

The big bell at the entrance of Lengbuding Town suddenly rang, and when they heard the alarm bell, the people in the town rushed out one after another.

I saw that the members of the militia team, the women's rescue association, the elderly team, and the children's regiment that had just been established in the town were running around, telling the villagers that the Japanese army was about to arrive in Shuanghe Town.

After getting the news, the people of the town exploded at once.

The originally silent town was like boiling water, boiling all at once.

The east family carried the burden, the west family led the piglets, and even carried a load of children, running towards the mountains in a chaotic manner.

The militia, women's relief associations, elderly squads and even children's regiments are busy maintaining order and directing traffic so as not to cause jams.

However, it was the Eighth Route Army that really covered the transfer of the people in the town, and the Wolf Tooth Squad had established a blocking position on two small hills less than three miles away from Shuanghe Town, and was fighting a blocking attack.

……

"Horn hook!"

A gunshot rang out, and a ghost sapper who was clearing mines in front of him pounced forward and stopped moving.

"The third!" Wang Xikui pulled the bolt of the gun and withdrew the cartridge case, pushing another bullet into the chamber.

"Kiko, your marksmanship has improved a lot." Wei Dayong, who was lying not far away, immediately shouted, "One shot six hundred meters away, your kid's marksmanship is to chase after Instructor Nosaka." ”

Wang Xikui smiled and said modestly: "It still can't be compared with Instructor Nosaka." ”

Wang Yan smiled and said nothing, now Wang Xikui's marksmanship may be slightly inferior to Nosaka Kuancheng, but after a while, the marksmanship of the two will definitely be about the same.

Because their marksmanship level is the same, they are all ** passes.

At this time, Sun Ming put down the binoculars and said, "The devil cavalry has come around. ”

Wang Yan patted Sun Desheng on the shoulder and said, "Old Sun, it's time for your cavalry to play." ”

"Yes!" Sun Desheng agreed, rushed down the hill, and gathered more than 20 cavalry Pegasus to meet him.

Seeing Sun Desheng lead a cavalry platoon to meet him, Sun Ming said: "Lao Wang, the devil has really not grown at all, and the offensive routine will not change for 10,000 years." ”

"yes, I can memorize it." Wei Xiaoyong said, "When you encounter a mine on the road, you will send sappers to clear the mines, and once you encounter our snipers sniping and killing their sappers, you will send cavalry or infantry to outflank them from both sides." ”

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Although the devil's offensive routine is rigid, it is effective. ”

"The Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Xinkou, the Battle of Xuzhou, and even the Battle of Wuhan all proved that this routine of the Japanese army was very effective against the national army."

"It's just that when we meet our Eighth Route Army, this routine is completely ineffective."

"I know." Sun Ming said, "That's what I want to say, the devils know that this routine against the national army is not effective against us, but they still blindly follow the same routine." ”

Wang Yan said: "If they want to change, they have to have a better routine." ”

After a pause, Wang Yan said again: "In fact, the routine is not the most critical, the most important thing is the technical and tactical level of the troops. ”

"The technical and tactical level of the troops is high, no matter how old the routines are, they can be played, but the technical and tactical level of the troops is not good, and no matter how good and novel the routines are, they are useless!"

Sun Ming said: "When it comes to the level of technology and tactics, the devils in the past two years are really not as good as the other, and they can't be compared with the devils before the Republic of China 28 years ago." ”

……

While the two were talking, the cavalry platoon led by Sun Desheng had already exchanged fire with the devil cavalry who had come around.

When there was no firefight, it could not be seen, and in this firefight, the gap between the two sides was immediately apparent.

More than 20 cavalry of the Eighth Route Army were obviously superior to the devil cavalry in both horsemanship and shooting.

After a few rows of guns, even seven or eight devil cavalry fell off their horses.

On the other hand, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army was unscathed.

However, the devil cavalry had an obvious numerical advantage, so the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army did not take it lightly, and after firing a few rows of guns, they turned their horses' heads one after another, turning over and shooting while retreating.

The devil cavalry chased down relentlessly.

The pair launched a chase on the open plains.

……

At this moment, on a small hill five miles away from Shuanghe Town.

Ryoichi Yamamoto was holding a telescope and watching the cavalry chase on the plain ahead.

Seeing that a cavalry squadron that attacked had an absolute numerical superiority, but the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army held their noses to death, and they were always in a situation of being passively beaten, Yamamoto Ryo's nose was crooked.

"Yaga, what are these idiots doing?"

"Seven or eight times the strength advantage, but it was still beaten by the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Don't mind, Your Excellency Chief of Staff." Kato Masao hurriedly persuaded: "The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army are all veterans of a hundred battles, and the cavalry of the Imperial Army are all new recruits, and they haven't even finished the basic equestrian lessons, so it's not surprising that this situation will occur." ”

"What's more, from the very beginning we did not expect to defeat the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army through cavalry, the cavalry squadron was nothing more than a decoy!"

Ryoyochi Yamamoto: "Having said that, seeing the cavalry of the Imperial Army being beaten so embarrassed by the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, I really don't feel good in my heart. ”

Kato Masao said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the important thing is the result, and it doesn't matter whether the process is embarrassing or not!" Is that right? ”

"Okay." Yamamoto Liang nodded, and said, "I think the time is almost ripe, so let the cavalry squadron withdraw according to the predetermined plan." ”

"Hay!" Kato Masao slammed his head, then turned back and shouted, "Order, the cavalry squadron withdraws!" ”
