The wind was biting, and the gray mountains seemed lifeless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Japanese troops came in the wilderness, and the commander of the 10th Wing of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army in Liery, Nakano Toshio rode on his horse, looking arrogant. Before departing from Yantai, Toshio Nakano carefully learned about the situation at the Zhaoyuan gold mine, where a certain heavy detachment of the 18th Division had been frequently attacked by an armed force in the gold mine and suffered heavy losses.

Through the information provided by the intelligence agency, Nakano learned that there was a mine protection team at the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine, and it was obviously this mine protection team that attacked. In Nakano Toshio's eyes, a small mine protection team is not a problem, and it is reserved for himself to fight tooth sacrifices. His mission was to eliminate the convoy as quickly as possible and restore the mine's production.

"In the report, Noye Dazuo, the forward troops report, the front is the Zhaoyuan mining area." A subordinate came to report. "Order the troops to search and advance in battle formation and occupy the Zhaoyuan mining area as soon as possible."

The Japanese soldiers quickly dispersed and continued to advance with meticulous attention to the situation of textbooks. Toshio Nakano rode on his horse and held a telescope to inspect, and a small north-south mountain range appeared in front of him. "What's up ahead?" "Report to Dazuo, there is Luoshan in front, and after Luoshan is the Linglong Gold Mine." "Order the forward troops to quickly pass through Luoshan and occupy the Linglong Gold Mine!" Toshio Nakano seemed to realize something and said: "Order the artillery brigade and immediately arrange the artillery positions!" ”

Nakano Toshio's premonition was not wrong, and Yingda, the captain of the Zhaoyuan Mine Protection Team, received the news of the Japanese army's attack, and immediately decided to block the attack at Luoshan and defeat the arrogance of the Japanese army. The Luoshan Mountains are high in the north and low in the south, and the highest point above sea level is only more than 700 meters. Yingda led the troops to block in Jiuqu, which is the only way for Yantai to Zhaoyuan. The purpose of blocking the Japanese army was to first give the Japanese army a dismount and strike a blow at the arrogance of the Japanese army.

Yingda's mine protection team still maintains a strength of 500 people, and according to Ge Yunfei's plan, the mine protection team should take advantage of the natural geographical advantages of the gold mine to carry out guerrilla warfare, so there is no need to expand the force. Zhaoyuan Gold Mine is divided into three major mining areas, with a radius of more than 100 kilometers. It is necessary to persist in long-term guerrilla warfare, because a large number of troops will be a burden. After He Zhi led the main force of the mine protection team to leave the gold mine, he left some personnel to form a new mine protection team.

Yingda was one of the first members of Ge Yunfei's team when he was the captain of the gold mine, when he was only 18 years old, and he was deeply appreciated by Ge Yunfei. Yingda once served as Ge Yunfei's bodyguard, and after He Zhi led his troops to leave the gold mine, it was Ge Yunfei who named Yingda to stay in the gold mine and serve as the captain of the mine protection team. After more than ten years of training, Yingda has grown into an excellent commander. Ge Yunfei used the mine protection team to carry out guerrilla warfare in the gold mines, with the aim of making it impossible for the Japanese to mine gold.

The road at the foot of the mountain stretched into the distance, and the subordinates were waiting for it. Yingda seemed to be lying in the bunker very leisurely, and his subordinates couldn't see any nervousness. First, it can be seen that the mine protection team is well-trained, and secondly, they have fought against the Japanese army and accumulated combat experience. "Captain, the Japanese army is coming!" When Yingda heard this, she turned over and raised her binoculars to check, and sure enough, Japanese soldiers appeared on the road. "Order the troops to enter combat readiness and put the Japanese army closer!"

The mine guard team had two heavy machine guns, which formed a crossfire. The Japanese forward troops entered within 100 meters, and at the sound of an order, light and heavy firepower opened fire together, and a dense rain of bullets swept through. The men who were beaten by the Japanese forward troops turned on their backs, and they did not expect the fire of a local armed force to be so fierce. The Japanese forward troops were hit so hard that they were killed and wounded, and they retreated back in disarray. Toshio Nakano in the rear team was shocked to hear the fierce gunfire coming from the front, and hurriedly dismounted.

After a while, an officer of the forward unit arrived: "Report to Dazuo, the front is blocked by the enemy, the fire is very fierce, there are two heavy machine guns, and the number is about four or five hundred. "Order the artillery brigade to open fire immediately, send troops to outflank on both flanks, and eat all this enemy!" Toshio Nakano was excited when he heard this, what professional soldiers need is to fight. The Japanese quickly divided their forces on both flanks, and soon the artillery fire began to roar.

The bomb exploded on the blocking position, and Yingda did not expect such a quick artillery bombardment by the Japanese army. Shells continued to fall on the blocking positions, and the Japanese troops took the opportunity to attack.

"Captain, the Japanese artillery fire is fierce, and it looks like a Japanese wing is coming." "Order the troops to retreat immediately!" The team quickly descended the hill and entered a ravine. When the Japanese attacking forces found the enemy fleeing, they gave hot pursuit. Soon the Japanese soldiers drained the water around the ravine. Mizoguchi, the figure of Toshio Nakano appears.

"Report to Dazuo, the enemy has entered the ravine, and the troops on both flanks have completed the outflanking." "Attack now and wipe them all out!" The Japanese tossed for several hours, and the attacking troops joined the division, but they did not find a trace of the enemy. "Report to Dazuo, the enemy has taken refuge in a hole in the ditch!" When Toshio Nakano came to the cave, one of his subordinates reported, "Your Excellency, according to the footprints left by the enemy, I entered through this cave. ”

Toshio Nakano looked at the black hole and asked, "How many holes are there in this ditch!" "There are 6 holes!" "The enemy entered the grave, blew up 4 holes, and smoked them out." The Japanese soldiers received the order and quickly blew up the four holes, found firewood and grass to light the holes, and then used fan means to drive the smoke into the holes. After a while, smoke came out of another hole, but there was no movement inside.

It was getting late, and Toshio Nakano decided to leave two squadrons to defend the entrance to the cave, and the brigade quickly occupied Zhaoyuan and the surrounding market towns. The gold mines were well ventilated in all directions, and the holes were connected, and the smoke released by the Japanese army did not work at all. In a spacious cave, the team members talked a lot, and each recounted the battle scene of Fang Cai, and their emotions were particularly high.

"How's the casualty?" Indah asked. The subordinate replied: "Report to the captain, the Japanese army suddenly launched an artillery bombardment, and our side lost 11 people and wounded 32 people!" ”

"The Overseers have instructed us not to fight the Japanese army, but to use our brains to deal with the Japanese army. Let's eat something and rest for a while. After dark, I guess the Oriental devils must be ambushed in Mahuagou and waiting for us to go out. Tonight, we're going to put on a good show. From now on, the day is the world of Oriental devils, and the night is our world. The Oriental devils didn't know that our underground cave was open in all directions, and they wanted to give the Japanese army a taste of being beaten.

When night fell, the Japanese troops in Mahuagou were still waiting at the mouth of the ditch. Suddenly, there was a terrible gunfire from behind the Japanese troops, and the two squadrons of Japanese troops were fiercely attacked to varying degrees, and the Japanese soldiers were stunned, thinking that reinforcements had come. Due to the unfamiliar terrain, the Japanese army was completely passive and had to retreat to Linglong Town in embarrassment. At the end of the battle, the subordinates in the ravine reported: "Captain, the attack was a great success, 32 little devils were killed, and only 5 of us were wounded. ”

A subordinate rejoiced. "Fight like this, and now I have the order to break up into pieces, form 10 assault detachments with 50 people as a combat group, and strike at the Japanese army in all directions tonight. Remember not to fight hard with the Oriental devils, and kill and injure Japanese soldiers while protecting yourself, do you understand? "Understood!" "In addition, I ask that after dawn, we will concentrate in Mine 18 in the north, and we must be prepared for a long-term battle."

In order to hold the Zhaoyuan gold mine for a long time, they stored food for 500 people to survive for a year, as well as vegetables and salted fish. In order to ensure that the team members are nutritious, a large amount of salted meat, beef jerky and other foods are also stored. Such a sumptuous preparation is something that Ge Yunfei strictly ordered to do. In addition, in order to ensure that the team members eat well, a 30-person fire head army was formed in the cave to ensure the logistics needs of the mine protection team.

That night, the commander of the Japanese army was in the compound of the Zhaoyuan County Government, listening to the gunfire coming from all directions, and almost did not sleep all night. Attacked everywhere, he concluded that the convoy had come out of the mines, and that the underground mines were in all directions. In the morning, Toshio Nakano, whose eyes were bloodshot, received the news that the various divisions had withdrawn from the mine to a nearby market town, and that the losses of the divisions had been counted as more than 200 casualties.

Toshio Nakano ordered all the holes in the gold mine to be blown up and the enemy buried underground. The chief of staff of the wing said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, the Zhaoyuan gold mine has been mined for hundreds of years, and there are tens of thousands of holes, and it is impossible to blow up all the holes in a few months." Even if we blow up the hole, the enemy will have plenty of time to dig through. Besides, the enemy must have a secret hole, and his subordinates don't think it's a wise move. Toshio Nakano seemed to come to his senses.

"What do you think should be done?" "Your Excellency, we are new to the gold mine, and we are not familiar with the gold mine. The subordinates believed that they should occupy the towns of the gold mines first, and then take corresponding countermeasures after gaining a foothold. The enemy was apparently well prepared, and his subordinates believed that the mines would not be able to resume production in the short term, and advised them to report to the commander. Nakano thought calmly and thought that what the chief of staff said made sense. On the one hand, he reported to the headquarters, and on the other hand, he ordered all units to temporarily station in Zhaoyuan County and Linglong Town, and then formulate a strangulation plan.

The next night, the detachments were full of confidence and prepared to do a big job, but all of them came up empty. Captain Yingda reported to the detachments: "The Oriental devils are very cunning, and they must have retreated from the mines to nearby towns. Our first goal was achieved, and the Japanese army could not do it if they wanted to resume gold production as soon as possible. But we can't let the Oriental devils stop, and since the Oriental devils are retreating, we will take the initiative to attack. Cancel all operations tonight and strike during the day tomorrow. ”

When the guerrilla operation in the Zhaoyuan gold mine was in full swing, at the same time, in Qiujiazhuang in the southwest, tunnel warfare was once again staged.
