Chapter 441: The casualty ratio is 6:1

Seeing that all the machinery and equipment in the Huangyadong Arsenal were transferred by the Eighth Route Army, the devils became annoyed and angry, and they didn't have enough to gain after attacking for so long.

If they really go back with such a record, the devil troops responsible for attacking Huangyadong will inevitably be reprimanded by the commanders of their respective units and the commander of the First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio. Whether it was to achieve greater results or to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army, the devil did not have any idea of giving up the battle.

For these devils, they need to make more achievements that they can show to ensure that they will not be blamed when they go back.

What's more, in the eyes of the devils, the retreat of the special service group that has been responsible for defending Huangya Cave means that the special service group has no strong enough combat effectiveness, which is a good opportunity in the eyes of the devil commander, a chance to directly annihilate all the Eighth Route Army in the Huangya Cave area.

For the devils who attacked Huangya Cave, the soldiers of the special service group killed the devil soldiers continuously, and the casualties of the devils made the devils unwilling to end this battle easily, even if these devils knew that it was very difficult to successfully kill the soldiers of the special service group, but they still wanted to try.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the devil took the initiative to launch an attack on the 2008.5 heights of Zuohui Nanshan, and after the devil's observation, this is the location of the command post of the special service regiment. In order to be able to inflict heavy damage on the secret service group and make their attack on Huangya Cave have enough value this time, the devil once again desperately launched a fight.

The 2nd Company and 1st Platoon of the Special Service Regiment that stuck to the high ground fought and fought with the devils repeatedly, and they were particularly tenacious in the battle, and the devils advanced extremely slowly under the desperate fighting of the soldiers. During this period, Wen Desheng, Bian Qingzhang and other 3 soldiers of the 2nd Company and 1st Platoon, led the attacking devils to a dead end, located on the southeast cliff of Zuohui Nanshan, ready to wipe out the devils.

However, due to being outnumbered, the 2nd Company was unable to draw troops to support, so that Wen Desheng and the three were forced to the cliff by the enemy, and finally fought with the devil again, and after killing a few devils, the seriously injured Wen Desheng and the three calmly jumped off the cliff and died heroically.

In order to deal with the attack of the devils, Commander Ou ordered a battalion that had basically not participated in the battle in the past seven days to enter the fortifications to fight.

In the past few days of fighting with the devils, the first battalion of the special service regiment was used as a reserve by Commander Ou, and the soldiers of the first battalion had long been full of strength to kill the enemy. After receiving the order from Commander Ou to order the first battalion to attack, the soldiers of the first battalion rushed forward directly with a roar, like hungry wolves who had been hungry for an unknown number of days.

As soon as the 1st Battalion came into contact with the devils, it successfully suppressed the attacking devils with powerful firepower, and the performance of the 1st battalion machine gun company was even more outstanding. During this period, Li Changbiao, squad leader of the machine gun company of the first battalion, fired more than 480 machine gun bullets in one breath, directly inflicting heavy damage on the attacking devils, and many devils' bodies were directly damaged by the machine guns.

After being noticed by the devil mortar, he relied on the favorable terrain, flexibly changed the firing position, and constantly cursed with the attacking devils, and brought the mobile combat to the extreme, killing more than 60 devils.

At the same time, Commander Ou also gave full play to the flexibility of the soldiers, mobilizing the soldiers of the third, fifth, and eighth companies to counterattack the attack on Zuohui Mountain. During the battle with the devils, the warriors used the triangular style of hunting bears to beat the devils around, so that they could not care about each other in the attack and retreat.

Liu Gen stayed in the command post of the special service group, and he could clearly understand that every time Commander Ou issued a combat order, he did not go to the front line to kill the enemy, and he was a little helpless. But staying in the command post, Liu Gen found that he could learn a lot from Commander Ou.

In the hands of Regiment Commander Ou, commanding operations seemed to have become an art, and Liu Gen never expected that commanding operations could be so flexible. The continuous feedback from the front line allowed Liu Gen to easily grasp the situation at the front line, which undoubtedly provided sufficient information as a basis for commanding operations.

In the battle with the devils, the casualties of the special service group were not many, which had a certain relationship with the hard training of the special service group on weekdays, and it also had an inseparable relationship with Commander Ou. Liu Gen felt that if he was to be the commander of this battle. Then he will definitely not be able to do it like Captain Ou.

After discovering that he could learn a lot from Commander Ou, Liu Gen became a lot calmer, and he silently followed Commander Ou's side, constantly listening to Commander Ou's combat orders.

The battle went on until the afternoon, and the soldiers on both sides became extremely tired, but still no one chose to give up, and everyone knew what it meant to give up the battle at this time, and the devil put so many troops into the attack on Zuohui Mountain, once he gave up, then the losses would undoubtedly be great.

The secret service group can't give up defense at all, whether it's to kill devils or to avoid the special service group being hit hard, this requires the full defense of the special service group soldiers.

During the period when the devils attacked Zuohui Mountain, the peripheral troops of the Eighth Route Army had successfully recovered more than a dozen villages such as Dongyadi and Zhaogu Village around Huangya Cave, and at the same time, the troops of the 129th Division also entered the ambush area on time according to the orders of the bosses.

The secret service group delayed the devils for so much time in the defense of Huangya Cave, all of which was in the plan of the headquarters bosses, and now the troops are in place. Then it will definitely be able to hit the devil's sweeping troops hard.

Late at night on the 18th, Regiment Commander Ou, who was staying at the command post of the special task force, received a telegram from the deputy chief of staff, saying that the enemy was very likely to have discovered the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the periphery of Huangyadong and might flee overnight.

Looking at the telegram sent by the deputy chief of staff, Commander Ou's face was a little more happy, and the reinforcements had finally arrived. Now there are troops of the Eighth Route Army on the periphery of Huangya Cave, and Commander Ou naturally understands what this means, and the special mission must seize this opportunity to strive to leave all these devils who dare to attack Huangya Cave behind!

After handing the telegram to Liu Gen beside him, Commander Ou summoned the three battalion commanders of the special service group, and he needed to get the soldiers to move and immediately launch a full-scale counterattack against the devils. If you can, you can firmly hold back the devils and try to keep all of them.

When Liu Gen saw the content of the telegram, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the time for a counterattack had come. Just thinking that the secret service group didn't have any shells, and his artillery couldn't be of any use, Liu Gen was very helpless, when would he be able to use endless shells?

If there are enough shells in his hands, then Liu Gen can be sure that with his artillery skills, he will definitely be able to kill more devils, and he can also destroy more mortars and firepower points of devils. It's a pity that if Liu Gen wants to have enough shells, he still needs to further expand the arsenal.

Less than ten minutes after the three battalion commanders of the special service group left, the soldiers of the special service group took the initiative to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the devils, and the soldiers rushed out of the position with a roar and rushed towards the devils.

And the devils were also as expected by the deputy chief of staff, they learned about the Eighth Route Army troops on the periphery of Huangya Cave, and even more so about how many troops the Eighth Route Army troops on the periphery had. At this time, in the face of the all-out counterattack of the soldiers of the special service group, the devils did not have the slightest idea of fighting, they continued to break up, and fled frantically, wishing that they had grown four legs.

In the all-out counterattack of the soldiers of the special service group, there was almost no effective resistance from the devils, and the commander of the devils was also well aware of the situation at this time, and knew that staying in the Huangya Cave area for a little longer would mean that there would be greater danger.

In order to avoid being left in the Huangyadong area by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, the commander of the devil ordered the devil troops to retreat at all costs, and he didn't want to be left here. After he returns, as an operational commander, he will definitely be punished to a certain extent, but even if he is punished again, he will not be able to die.

The Eighth Route Army troops successfully stayed in the Huangya Cave area, but there was a danger of dying, and the devil commander didn't want to die here, let alone let so many devil soldiers die here.

The whole night of pursuit did not cause too many casualties to the devils, but it was really because the devils had been running frantically and did not fight with the soldiers of the special task force at all. In the night, the marksmanship of the soldiers was also affected to a certain extent, which led to the fact that the casualties when the devils fled were not large.

At dawn on the 19th, the soldiers of the special service group successfully recovered almost all the positions of the Huangyadong Arsenal, but the devils were still fleeing frantically.

When the devil army escaped from the periphery of Huangya Cave, it was attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the periphery, and with the combat effectiveness of the devils, they stayed to fight with the Eighth Route Army, and they still had the strength to fight. But at this time, the devils were already frightened, and they didn't dare to stay at all, so they could only leave hundreds of devil corpses and successfully escape.

On this day, the cold wind was cold, the snow was heavy, and the devil troops fled south to thirty acres of land, and when they were on the front line of Caozhuang, they entered the ambush circle of the 129th Division. It was attacked by the four main regiments of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and more than 500 people were killed and wounded.

In the face of the ambush of the 129th Division, the devil desperately escaped from the ambush circle, in order to be able to complete the breakthrough as quickly as possible, the devil blew up, or directly dropped the heavy machine gun and infantry gun he carried, in order to be able to escape, the devil paid a large enough price.

The four main regiments of the 129th Division were naturally unwilling to let these devil troops leave easily, and they continued to pursue the devils, and finally gave up the pursuit of the devils after the devil troops fled into the stronghold of Weizi Town, Lucheng, Devils.

Although the strength of the four main regiments was enough to launch an attack on the stronghold of Weizi Town, considering that the devil's reinforcements were on their way, the four main regiments still gave up the idea of attacking and quickly withdrew with the capture obtained from the devil.

When the results of the ambush came from the headquarters, Liu Gen and Commander Ou were both extremely excited, this is the price that the devils need to pay for attacking the Huangyadong Arsenal.

On the 20th, Liu Gen and Director Xu brought the more than 700 workers of the Arsenal who had been transferred to Muslim Mountain back to the Huangyadong Arsenal.

The Battle of Huangyadong was victorious, but the resumption of production after the war was quite severe, due to the destruction of the Huangyadong Arsenal by the devils, what the workers needed to do was to restore the arsenal to its original state. At the same time, all the machines and equipment that were previously transferred and buried were recovered, and production was resumed in the shortest possible time.

During this time, all units of the Eighth Route Army fought with the devils, and a lot of ammunition was consumed. The early resumption of production at the Huangyadong Arsenal can also replenish the ammunition of various units to a certain extent and reduce the pressure on the soldiers during combat.

At such a juncture, Liu Gen also took Kong Jue and others to devote themselves to the reconstruction of the artillery department, and in the battle with the devils, the rocket artillery regained its power, which also proved the strong suppressive power of the rocket artillery in the face of artillery.

Due to the objective conditions of the arsenal, the mass production of rocket artillery was not allowed, and the next work of the artillery department was the production of 60mm mortars and grenadiers. For the units of the Eighth Route Army, there were never too many grenadiers and mortars.

While Liu Gen was busy rebuilding the artillery department, Commander Ou was not idle, he was counting the casualties of the special service group and calculating the number of enemies killed. After the statistics were completed, Commander Ou was a little surprised, he didn't care about these during the battle, and it wasn't until the statistics after the battle that he realized that this was a big victory!

According to the statistics of Regiment Commander Ou, in the defense of Huangya Cave, the special service group resisted the attack of more than 5,000 devils with 1,300 people, annihilated more than 1,000 enemies, and suffered 166 casualties on our side (including 43 casualties), with a casualty ratio of 6:1.

When the Kuomintang government in Chongqing learned of this news, it specially issued a commendation order to the Second War Zone, and such a great victory deserved to be commended. It's just that all the Eighth Route Army can get is a commendation order, and as for the material support, there is nothing.

In Taiyuan, Shanxi, the commander of the First Army of the Devils, Iwamatsu Yoshio, after learning the specific casualty statistics, directly asked the commander of this battle to report to the emperor! Such a fight. It was simply a disgrace to the First Army, and he Iwamatsu Yoshio was also condemned by the headquarters of the North China Front and the army base camp.

At the Second Theater Command, Yan Xishan, after confirming the casualties of the Eighth Route Army's defense of Huangyadong, moved the idea of letting his Jin Sui Army go to the base area of the Eighth Route Army to communicate. Yan Xishan wanted to determine the development of the Eighth Route Army's base area, and also wanted to find out what the current strength of the Eighth Route Army was.

For this reason, Yan Xishan quickly began to consider the possibility of this matter, but if he wanted to visit the base of the Eighth Route Army, it would take a certain amount of time, and the high-level communication between the two sides would also take a certain amount of time.

Considering the complexity of the reconstruction work, Director Xu divided the staff of the arsenal into two parts, one part insisted on production under poor conditions, and the other part was responsible for the reconstruction of the arsenal.

This time the devil's attack on the Huangyadong Arsenal means that the devil clearly knows the specific location of the Huangyadong Arsenal, and this time the Huangyadong Defense Battle is a victory, but the exposure of the location of the Huangyadong Arsenal also means that the Huangyadong Arsenal needs to find a new station.

The victory in this battle does not mean that the next battle can be won, it is always good to take precautions, not to mention that there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.

For this reason, Liu Gen left Huangya Cave and went to the headquarters, ready to listen to the decision of the bosses.
