After the former puppet army soldier entered, he came back: "Regiment commander, the enemy refused, and he almost shot me!" ”

However, according to Yang Chaoran's idea, this soldier sent letters for one thing, and investigation was the real goal.

"Regiment commander, the enemy has about five or six devils, and there are more than twenty emperors in the army!"

Yang Chaoran immediately gave the order to bombard the enemy with mortars.

After two bangs, Yang Chaoran sent personnel again to persuade him to retreat: "Leave the stronghold, you leave with weapons and ammunition, and we promise not to attack you." ”

This time, the Japanese puppet army beat up the soldiers of our army who delivered the letter.

The warriors came back crying.

Hold your breath.

Yang Chaoran was furious.

In his hands, although he captured many enemy infantry guns and mountain artillery, the shells were too expensive to use, and he was reluctant to use them, and wanted to use blackmail and intimidation to scare away the enemy and then clean them up.

"Come, listen to my command and bombard with infantry!"

Yang Chaoran asked the warrior how many steps he had taken, and the warrior said.

Yang Chaoran patted him on the shoulder: "You have made a great contribution, turn back, we caught the little devil and the puppet army, you can fight casually, take revenge and come back, I don't count you as violating discipline!" ”

Actually, these two persuasion activities are obviously meaningless, why were they sent?

Because, Yang Chaoran played tricks. In fact, the real purpose of these two soldiers is not to send letters, but to measure distance.

Needless to say, Yang Chaoran's efforts in ranging and ranging, but he was worried that when he used artillery shells to hit the ground, if the data was inaccurate, he would lose it in vain.

Through two field trips of the soldiers, the distance was measured with footsteps, and together with the synthesis of his predictions, the distance was determined, and in this way, the artillery was ordered to open fire.

An infantry gun, against the enemy's turret, boom!

With great precision, it was in the middle of the turret, and the top of the solid brick square bunker was removed.

With a bang, the roof and a large number of bricks fell and collapsed.

The entire turret was three zhang high and collapsed more than one zhang.

A large number of falling bricks and stones, and the fairies splashed in all directions like scattered flowers, smashing the devils and puppet soldiers on the wall of the stronghold to the point of screaming and fleeing.

In the blink of an eye, a white flag was hoisted over the stronghold.

There are puppet troops who shouted loudly and were willing to withdraw, but the troops on this side could not catch up.

Yang Chaoran sent someone to talk to the puppet army and agreed.

The Japanese puppet army immediately packed up their things, carried the wounded, panicked, and fled from the stronghold.

If you don't escape, you will die in the stronghold, and a few more cannons can flatten the entire stronghold!

The Japanese army had a nervous breakdown.

As for running?

Hehe, soldiers are not tired of cheating!

Yang Chaoran was around, and there were indeed ambushes.

As soon as the enemy ran out of more than 200 meters, he encountered an ambush by our army, and with a sweep of the machine gun, several devils were taken care of and killed, and the rest of the puppet army surrendered.

Almost the same tricks, one artillery and one stronghold, coupled with the shouts of the captured puppet army, intimidation and offensive, the Japanese puppet army fled from the stronghold one after another, and was wiped out one after another.

In this way, in one morning, Yang Chaoran's troops swept away three strongholds in the north of the county seat, killed 17 Japanese soldiers, captured one machine gun, 13 rifles, five pistols, a large amount of ammunition, more than 130 grenades, exterminated 75 puppet soldiers, and captured 53 rifles, three pistols, one machine gun, and more than 400 grenades.

There are also other food and other supplies.

Let the party members and fighters go down and mobilize the masses and form militia companies in each village.

Captured weapons and ammunition were partially distributed to them.

The surrounding people, three villages and five miles, all came to see the excitement, and everyone was amazed when they watched Yang Chaoran's troops bombard the devil's turret with cannons.

"This unit is amazing! There are cannons! ”

"The little devil is also looking for death when he hides inside, haha!"

"No, I have to follow such a force, this army is powerful, there is hope!"

Many people, especially hot-blooded young people, watched and ran over to join the army.

The removal of the devil's turret had a great impact, and the heavy bombardment of artillery fire boosted the morale of the people and spread the prestige of the troops.

In the afternoon, we continued to sweep the surrounding strongholds.

This time, it's much more convenient.

Many devil strongholds knew about the situation here, and they could hear the sound of cannons from afar, and people could see it with telescopes, and they were all frightened, and five strongholds went to the empty building one after another.

Invincible.

In this way, Yang Chaoran's army will not get much benefit.

There are also benefits, the enemy was in a panic when he fled, and some things were left behind before they had time to destroy, a large number of food, furniture, bedding, etc., all of which were rare among the common people and urgently needed by Yang Chaoran's troops.

According to some puppet soldiers who fled, the devils demanded that all the land be destroyed, and the puppet army stayed to deal with the aftermath.

There are also puppet soldiers who tell the devil that they can't burn them all, otherwise, it will anger Yang Chaoran's troops, intercept them halfway, and chase them to death, and we will be unlucky.

Yang Chaoran simply divided the troops, one company and one direction, to attack the enemy's stronghold.

Three companies, each with an infantry cannon or a mountain gun. As heavy firepower for the offensive.

There are not many shells, and it can be used for a while.

On that day, there were constant explosions.

News of the capture of enemy strongholds kept coming.

It didn't stop all night.

The next day, Yang Chaoran grasped the situation, three companies had swept away 11 Japanese puppet army artillery strongholds, successively killed 23 devils, more than 30 puppet soldiers, captured 7 Japanese soldiers, and more than 50 puppet soldiers.

After each stronghold was conquered, the troops mobilized in the nearby villages according to Yang Chaoran's method, formed militia companies, and cleared garbage and dug tunnels in the ruins of the enemy's strongholds, implementing a long-term garrison strategy, and turning these places into strong base areas.

Basically, overnight, the area of this county, which was still controlled by the enemy, was conquered by our army.

With the blessing of cannons, the local people were highly motivated, and some two-faced people and landlords in some villages, as well as some small bandits, all came to surrender to Yang Chaoran's army.

Each company had political instructors, some of whom were real underground personnel, and most of them were ordinary people, who quickly mobilized the masses in accordance with Yang Chaoran's instructions and in accordance with some practices of the Eighth Route Army's armed engineering team.

On the third day, at ten o'clock in the morning, one of Yang Chaoran's battalions gathered and gathered for a meeting in the corner.

Here, at the bend of a great river, there was a village, but now, it was empty, with ruined walls.

More than a year ago, this place was washed in the blood of devils.

More than 800 people.

That's it, according to Yang Chaoran's order, try not to be absorbed, we must lay a solid foundation and form militias in various villages.

Many people are scrambling to become soldiers.

The militia companies of each village had people to hold the meeting.

As long as they are willing to support the troops, the armor protection organizations in each village are retained and come to the meeting.

Even if it's some two-faced people and maintain the association, as long as you don't be a hardcore traitor, it's okay.

Yang Chaoran described some policies and disciplines of the Eighth Route Army and the Armed Engineer Corps, asked everyone to implement them, and said that the real cadres of the Eighth Route Army and the Armed Workers Corps will be invited here to coordinate the overall situation.

He talked more about military issues, strategy and tactics, as well as the fortress tactics of the village.
