Chapter 167: Coming for Us?
Although there is no definite evidence to show that the Eighth Route Army that is staying near Dongguan in Qi County at the moment is the group of Eighth Route Army that robbed the military column. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info can learn that this group of Eighth Route Army annihilated nearly a brigade of troops, and Mei Yan Mijiro, as the commander of the dispatch army, was also angry.
As the weapons and ammunition in the rear could not be transported to the front line in time, the encirclement and suppression war in southwest Shanxi, which had been advancing smoothly, had to be forced to move to the defensive stage. The various units involved in the encirclement and suppression also complained a lot about the failure to deliver supplies on time.
As the maker of the encirclement and suppression plan, Mei Yan Mijiro knew very well that the reasons for the unfavorable battle on the front line were more due to the encounter at the Dongguan Railway Station and the subsequent robbery of the military train. The garrison officers of these two counties should bear responsibility for dereliction of duty.
However, Mei Yan Mijiro could no longer punish these two garrison officers, because the two garrison officers had already died during the round-up in the Yunling Mountain Range. Including the garrisons of several surrounding counties, they were all killed in that battle.
At present, the regeneration incident in Qi County undoubtedly makes Mei Mijiro extremely angry. If the rear is unstable, how can we talk about supporting the fighting at the front? After all, along the Tongpu Railway, it has always been a key area for the Japanese army's prevention and control.
But now? A small elite unit of the Eighth Route Army wantonly caused trouble in these places, causing great problems in the overall combat deployment of the Japanese army in Shanxi. This made Mei Yan Mijiro not angry.
With the order of Mei Xian Mijiro, an infantry wing originally deployed on the border of Luliang and Linfen quickly assembled and marched towards the territory of Qi County. The search and arrest troops assembled in Taigu also advanced towards the territory of Qi County.
Even in order to prevent this Eighth Route Army from escaping again, Mei Mijiro sent reconnaissance planes used to reconnoiter the enemy situation on the front line to the territory of Qi County for aerial reconnaissance. On behalf of the ground troops, monitor the movements of this group of Eighth Route Army.
Zhao Tiehu, who had rested in the mountains for a night, saw that the dawn of the morning had appeared, and quickly ordered the troops to start gathering. For the time being, it is not suitable for the combat members to go on the road with the troops, and Zhao Tiehu also entrusted the Qixian guerrillas to take care of them on their behalf.
It is also inevitable to go out and fight. If he returns to Yushe now, Zhao Tiehu may take those wounded with him. But the problem is that the combat detachment will have to go through the battle next, and bringing the wounded is not conducive to the transfer to the battle.
Looking at Wu Zhongyi, who came to see him off, he was full of reluctance, but Zhao Tiehu said with a smile: "Captain Wu, we may not be long before we leave." The matter here will be left to you guerrillas.
Yesterday's incident, thinking about it, will annoy the little devils. So, all you have to do is send some scouts out and find out what the little devils are doing. Wait for a few days for the situation to calm down, and then resettle the villagers back into the village.
The wounded who are left behind are also troubled for you to take good care of them. When they recover from their injuries, they can also serve as instructors for your guerrillas for a while. In short, for a long time to come, it would be better for your guerrillas to develop in a low-key manner.
Don't easily attack the towns and villages where the little devils are heavily garrisoned, you can focus on developing some guerrilla fortified villages. Let's first expand the size of the guerrillas, and then think about fighting the little devils. I've already told you about that. ”
Listening to Zhao Tiehu's repeated advice, Wu Zhongyi nodded very seriously and said: "Thank you, chief, I will definitely defend this base area well, develop our armed forces well, and hope that we will meet again one day." ”
'There will be! There is another point I hope you will keep in mind, if the little devils really invade Jiugou Mountain on a large scale, you don't want to die with the little devils, just send a small army to deal with them, and the big army will all be transferred into the deep mountains.
We also walked the Yunling Mountains twice, and I believe you are clear about the situation in the mountains. If there is a big mountain, and the little devil wants to find you, it is probably not so easy. In the future, remember to set up a few more secret camp supply points in the mountains.
Whether it is used to garrison the army or to reassure the people, it can sometimes play a life-saving role. You are also an old revolutionary, and I won't say much about some things. In short, as long as we work hard, I believe that the final victory will be ours. ’
When Zhao Tiehu was chatting with Wu Zhongyi, the fighters of the combat detachment and the fighters of the guerrillas also cherished each other. Even many of the villagers who had been resettled in the mountains were also reluctant to leave the combat detachment.
But in the war years, this kind of life and death parting is also very common. Maybe the two who are still laughing hand in hand at this moment, when they meet again next time, they may no longer be in the yang world. As a soldier of the Anti-Japanese War, no one knows whether he will be able to survive until the end of the war.
After the materials on the road had been sorted out, after listening to Liu Cheng's report, Zhao Tiehu looked at the people at the base who came to see him off and saluted: "Fellow villagers, comrades, take care!" Let's go! ”
Looking at the combat detachment that walked out of the mountain, it seemed to be a little stronger than when it came, and Zhao Tiehu and Liu Cheng were also a little satisfied. Even if the new fighters are not as good as the old players, it should not be a problem to keep up with the team.
Zhao Tiehu, who had already determined the route of the march, was going to infiltrate Pingyao with his combat detachment this time. In Zhao Tiehu's opinion, at present, Taigu and Qi County are deployed with heavy troops of little devils, and it is not so easy to fight the autumn wind.
Pingyao is not too far from Qi County, and many mountains in Qi County can be worn to Pingyao. On the next marching route, Zhao Tiehu also gave up those easy-to-walk roads and chose remote mountain paths to advance to Pingyao.
Considering that the troops were not very familiar with the route, Zhao Tiehu also specially selected a few guides from the guerrillas to lead the way. With these guides leading the way, it will also save the time for the troops to find their way and arrive in Pingyao faster.
Not long after the troops set off, Zhao Tiehu, who was walking in the team, heard the roar of planes in the distance. After ordering his troops to stop advancing, Zhao Tiehu quickly rushed to a high ground and looked in the direction where the roar came from.
Liu Cheng, who rushed to the high ground with Zhao Tiehu, said with a little surprise: "It's a little devil's reconnaissance plane!" ”
Looks like there were still fish that slipped through the net yesterday! These little devils react quite quickly! The order was passed down, and the troops paid attention to the air situation. For the time being, do not walk in the open field and pick mountain paths, preferring to spend more time and not expose the whereabouts of the troops. ’
'Captain, you said the little devil's plane is coming at us? ’
'If it weren't for us, there would be only one guerrilla force in Qi County, would it be worth sending a reconnaissance plane from the little devils?' Looking at the direction in which this reconnaissance plane flew, isn't it exactly near Zhangbei Village?
Even reconnaissance planes were sent, indicating that the little devils must have gathered a large force again. The order went down and ordered the troops to speed up the march. If you don't do it, the big army of the little devils will soon form an encirclement near Dongguan.
If we don't leave quickly, I guess we might be stuck here by them. Tonight, we'll find a place to fight again, and lure the little devils over and let them run after our butts. ’
Isn't that revealing our goal? ’
'Indeed! But if I don't, I'm worried that the base of Jiugou Mountain will be exposed. With the little strength on hand of the martial arts team, if they really encounter the large-scale encirclement and suppression of the little devils, how long do you think they can hold out?
As for us, if it really doesn't work, we will give up the plan to go to Pingyao, and we can go to Wuxiang and Qinxian. Anyway, we are here to divert the attention of the little devils, can we achieve this purpose and go there? ’
After some discussion, the two looked at the little devil reconnaissance plane that had left overhead, and the troops once again accelerated their speed and advanced towards the territory of Pingyao. At this moment, the infantry wing that was coming from the border quickly advanced along the highway towards the territory of Qi County.
The Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army, which had always been concerned about this infantry wing, naturally felt very puzzled when they learned that the Japanese army had sent an infantry wing to the territory of Qi County. For a while, the two forces also began to find out what was going on in Qi County.
The 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army in Luliang was somewhat puzzled when they learned that this little devil infantry wing that had been staring at them had left. Not long after the scouts were sent to collect the situation, they learned that Dongguan had been attacked again.
As the scouts returned to report the investigation, Division Commander He said in surprise: "You mean, the day before yesterday, one of our teams raided Dongguan again and annihilated the little devils stationed there?" ”
'Yes, Commander! And according to the news sent by our underground transportation station, the team that defeated Dongguan cut off the heads of the little devils, saying that it was a retaliation for the little devils who slaughtered the people of one of our villages in Dongguan before.
Later, the little devil learned the news and sent an infantry brigade over. It's just that this infantry brigade, in addition to the troops left in the town, sent to that village was completely annihilated. It is precisely because of this that the small devil army was provoked to advance towards Qi County. ’
Hearing this report, Master He said with a little surprise: "Cut off your head? And annihilate an infantry brigade entirely? Is there such a strong combat force in Qi County? ”
'Nope! We only have one guerrilla unit in Qi County, but this incident should not have been done by the guerrillas. According to the information from our underground transportation station, a reconnaissance company of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division had contacted them earlier.
And according to the information sent by the underground transportation station, the troops who robbed the little devil army in Taigu some time ago seem to be this reconnaissance company. Maybe the little devil knows this, so he will mobilize the army to gather in Qi County! ’
'A reconnaissance company with such combat effectiveness? ’
Commander He, who seemed to be a little unconvinced, finally decided to send a telegram to the 386th Brigade. When Brigade Commander Chen received the telegram from Master He, he also felt a little surprised, but he also began to worry about Zhao Tiehu and his party.
After informing Zhao Tiehu and the others of the situation, Master He, who received the telegram, was also surprised: "It turned out to be that tiger boy!" It seems that this kid is really a tiger general, with more than a hundred troops, he can make such a big move. ”
If Zhao Tiehu knew that he still had such a deep impression in the eyes of these division-level leaders, he would be very surprised. After all, the more you know about his chief, the more attention he receives in the Eighth Route Army.
In this way, as long as you have enough combat merits, it will be much easier to be promoted to senior commander in the future!
