This time, the results of the first company are great!

The Devil's artillery position was originally garrisoned by the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 119th Wing, with strong troops. Wing Commander Ishida Kanzo took the 3rd Infantry Brigade with him when he left, leaving the Wing Transport Team to take on the task of protecting the artillery positions.

The Japanese wing artillery was actually a 195-man mountain artillery squadron, in addition to a 122-man wing infantry artillery squadron. The wing transport team is also a squadron, with a total of 121 people, mainly carrying the wing headquarters and the squadron directly under the wing for one day's provisions, and an ammunition squad of 81 people, carrying one day's ammunition.

The number of people in a single round, the strength of the Japanese artillery position is 519 people, which is equivalent to two and a half infantry squadrons. But they were not charging infantry squadrons, but artillery, baggage men, equipped with few guns that could be used in close combat. Moreover, the little devil has already received the order and is busy preparing to open fire, and he is not prepared for a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army!

The full strength of the infantry companies of the independent battalion is 251 men.

The first company was not fully staffed, and the whole company had 220 men, plus the personnel of the artillery team that acted with them, it was only 250 people. In terms of troops, it was only half of the strength of the Japanese artillery positions. However, the first company was a standard combat company, well-equipped, calculated with heart and without intention, and fought most of the Japanese artillery and baggage soldiers with bare hands, so this battle was not fancy. The fighters spoke directly with machine gun bullets, rifle bullets, pistol bullets, grenades and little devils, and even stabbed with bayonets.

Solved the little devil, artillery captain Zhao Xiuchuan, deputy captain Liu Li, Zhao Fu took the gunner, loader, and observer to the field, they did not use the four infantry guns, but directly went to the mountain artillery position, quickly adjusted the shelling parameters, and began to fire at the mountain beam where Ishida Jinzo was located!

At this time, Zhao Fufu's actual combat technical advantages were reflected, helping each gun to adjust the parameters, and personally acting as the gunner, the action, the speed, there is no choice!

After a test firing, according to the instructions sent back by the observer, the coordinate parameters were quickly rested, followed by four artillery and five salvos!

Qiu Wei and Yuan Gang commanded a company to take advantage of the gap when the main force of the Japanese army did not react, and was busy cleaning up the battlefield.

The pack horses of the Japanese artillery pulling the cannons were brought over, the four infantry guns were disassembled, and the shells, bullets, guns, and supplies were all put on the back of the pack horses.

What excited Qiu Wei and Yuan Gang the most was that the artillery team of the Japanese wing and the infantry artillery squadron of the wing were equipped with two radio stations, two field telephones and a three-door switchboard!

It's a pity that Qiu Wei didn't bring a newspaper operator, otherwise, they would have been able to talk to the battalion headquarters directly!

After cleaning up the battlefield and packing up the pack horses, Qiu Wei was about to order the troops to immediately build fortifications and prepare to block the attack, when a military horn was heard in the distance.

That trumpet turned out to be a rallying cry ordering the troops to retreat!

Qiu Wei didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the troops to blow up the artillery and retreat!

The gunners led by Zhao Xiuchuan were having a good time, but Qiu Wei ordered to retreat, but Zhao Xiuchuan's boss was unwilling, saying that he would wait a while and leave after ten more rounds!

Qiu Wei yelled at Zhao Xiuchuan: "Do you want to disobey the battalion commander's military orders?" A little later, the little devil's plane came, and he couldn't run away! ”

Only then did Zhao Xiuchuan order to stop the shelling, explode the artillery, and retreat!

Explosives are as simple as stuffing a small melon grenade into the muzzle of each cannon!

Zhao Xiuchuan was still not at ease, and ordered to unload all the running bolts before the bombing and take them away.

As for the remaining mountain shells, they can't be taken away, they can only be blown up!

As a result, when the company withdrew from its position, an earth-shattering explosion sounded on the mountain beam!

Xiao Siming's original order was to let the first company seize the Japanese artillery position, carry out artillery bombardment on the Japanese army, and then block the Japanese army trying to recapture the artillery position, and then evacuate after inflicting heavy damage on a part of the Japanese army. Now that the trumpeter has blown the trumpet and ordered a company to evacuate quickly, the situation must have changed!

What else could be the case at this time? It can only be that the eighth brigade and the ninth brigade of the three detachments blocked the Japanese army in Shouyang on the east and west fronts, and the Japanese army in pacifying was not smooth, and the devils broke through the defense line of our army and approached the county seat of Yuxian!

After the attack of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 119th Wing of the Japanese Army was repulsed, it has been lying there without moving. Wang Lushui, who had already led the battalion unit to withdraw to Baijiagou, and arranged for two squads of the baggage team and the guard platoon to be on combat alert, he was restless in Baijiagou, and his heart was as anxious as a cat's claw!

After thinking about it, Wang Lushui thought that it was not only the Japanese army with a huge number of troops that would affect the fate of the independent battalion, but also the progress of the Japanese attack from Shouyang and Pingding to the county seat of Yuxian.

Thinking certainly, Wang Lushui told Shi Poshan, deputy instructor of the independent battalion, and Mo Shan, secretary of the general branch of the battalion, to control the troops and strengthen the vigilance, so he took the guards Guo Tian and rode back to Nanlou Village to see Ye Changgeng in person.

At this time, Yangquan is only a town in Pingding County, but because it is located on the Zhengtai line, convenient transportation, the town has been built since the Republic of China Yangquan Branch of Shanxi Baojin Mining Company, Yangquan Coal Company and other enterprises, among which the Yangquan Branch of Baojin Mining Company has built 6 large-scale coal mines powered by steam engines and a Baojin Iron Plant, realizing the idea of "using Yangquan coal to train Taihang Iron" put forward by Sun Yat-sen, the former prime minister.

Because of these industrial and mining enterprises, Yangquan already has a prototype of the city. After the Japanese army captured Taiyuan, it took Yangquan as an important fulcrum to control this area, and now it has set up the headquarters of the 118th Brigade of the 109th Division in Yangquan. In other words, the Japanese troops who set out from Pingding County to attack Yu County actually set out from Yangquan.

When I went to Nanlou Village, I saw that the stretchers for the wounded sent back from the front line were parked everywhere in the village. When Ye Changgeng was found, Ye Changgeng told him that the Japanese offensive was very fierce and the casualties of the troops were too great.

Wang Lushui asked where the Japanese army had entered now?

Ye Changgeng said that the little devil was a sneak attack, but fortunately, the independent battalion discovered the enemy early, and the troops were not attacked by the Japanese army. However, the little devil's firepower is too fierce, and the progress is very fast, and he has already crossed the Nanshang Society and is rushing along the highway to the Nanlou area.

Wang Lushui asked how the Ninth Brigade was fighting in the direction of Pingding, where was the battle?

Ye Changgeng said that the situation was not good. The Ninth Brigade, like the Eighth Brigade, is pulled up on the basis of a company, and if it encounters the main force of the Japanese army, it will definitely suffer a loss, and it will suffer a big loss! Just now, Commander Zhou reported that the Japanese army had crossed Qingcheng, and the nine detachments were also fighting and withdrawing.

Qingcheng and Nanlou are almost in a straight line, except that Nanlou is on the side of the highway leading to Shouyang in the west, and Qingcheng is on the side of the highway leading to Yangquan and Pingding in the east.

There is no danger to defend in the county basin of Yuxian County!

Judging from this situation, the Japanese army will soon attack the county seat of Yuxian.

Wang Lushui suggested that Ye Changgeng send a report to Commander Zhou and Political Commissar Liu to report the situation and listen to instructions.

Ye Changgeng said that there was no need to send a report, Commander Zhou sent a telegram in half an hour, and sent a cavalry correspondent every hour, and he knew the situation!

Ye Changgeng then asked how the independent battalion was blocking in the direction of Nianzigou?

Wang Lushui said that before he came, he had already judged that the Japanese army was a fully equipped infantry wing, with powerful artillery fire, and that planes had been dispatched to bomb indiscriminately, and that the independent battalion had shifted its position while blocking the attack, and had already withdrawn from the two mountain beams, and now retreated to the mountain beams northwest of Nianzigou.

While the two were talking, the operator came in and reported that Commander Zhou had called.

Ye Changgeng and Wang Lushui took the telegram and looked at it, and Zhou Jianping said on the telegram that the evacuation work from the county seat of Yuxian County had been completed, and he ordered the Eighth Brigade to immediately gather its troops, quickly break away from contact with the enemy, bypass the county seat, and deploy defenses in Changchi. At the same time, Ye Changgeng was ordered to immediately send a cavalry correspondent to inform the independent battalion that was blocking the Japanese army at Nianzigou, cancel the order to block until dark, and immediately withdraw from the battle.

Wang Lushui is in Nanlou Village, so there is no need for Ye Changgeng to send a cavalry correspondent to deliver the letter!

After returning to Baijiagou quickly, Wang Lushui didn't even enter the village, and rushed directly to the battlefield to find Xiao Siming.

At this time, Xiao Siming, deputy battalion commander Zheng Xiuchuan, second company commander Cao Ming'an, second company instructor Zhang Huaide, artillery team instructor Li Hubao, and heavy machine gun team captain Mou Guangyao were all holding binoculars to observe the enemy situation on the position!

As soon as he heard Wang Lushui say that the three detachments had withdrawn and the blocking task of the independent battalion had been completed, Xiao Siming was silent, and no one knew what he was thinking!

Wang Lushui was in a hurry, and urged Xiao Siming to give an order to withdraw the troops quickly. It's late, it's too late. After the Japanese troops from Shouyang captured Nanlou and the Japanese troops from Pingding captured Qingcheng, they would definitely divide their troops to copy the back road of the independent battalion. At that time, there will be Japanese planes in the sky, and heavy Japanese troops on the ground, and they will not be able to withdraw if they want to!

Xiao Siming still didn't squeak, took out the map from his purse, spread it on the ground and looked at it for a while, then said: "Political commissar, don't be anxious!" I know the virtue of the little devil, and the two armies compete with each other. I estimate that after the Japanese army in Shouyang captured Nanlou, they would be worried that the Japanese army in Pingding would capture the county seat of Yuxian County before them, and they would definitely go to seize the county seat first, and then turn around and outflank us! The same is true for pacifying the Japanese army, if they don't capture the county seat of Yuxian, it won't prove that they won the battle! So, we still have time, I ask you to see the big drama! ”

Wang Lushui didn't need to ask to know that Xiao Siming must have made another cruel move to the little devil!

After observing for a while, seeing that the Japanese army that had entered Nianzigou still did not move, Xiao Siming wondered in his heart, how did this Japanese army change his sex, so many people died, didn't he want to take revenge? Why not go on the offensive quickly?

When I thought about it again, I laughed, the little devil was hurt and timid, waiting for the Japanese plane to provide air cover!
