Xiao Siming's plan was to camp in Nianzigou during the day, wait for Wang Wanyou and the reconnaissance platoon to figure out the enemy situation at the Shishi Railway Station, and then move quickly towards the old street to disguise the Japanese army's surprise attack on the Shishi Railway Station.

During the Battle of the Hundred Regiments in history, Fan Zixia, commander of the New 10th Brigade of the 129th Division, led the 28th Regiment and the 30th Regiment to attack the Stone Survey Station. However, at that time, the Japanese army had already built 7 gun towers and pillboxes on the Straw Hat Mountain in Langyu Village, where the test railway station was located, and built complete individual bunkers, machine gun bunkers and trenches.

The New 10th Brigade attacked the Stone Measuring Station and fought on Straw Hat Mountain, and fought for 5 days!

It was the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and after the Japanese army captured Taiyuan, it was busy replenishing troops and preparing for the establishment of a puppet regime, and it also hurriedly launched an eight-way siege to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area. Although the Japanese siege failed, they did not gain nothing, capturing seven or eight county towns, and their arrogance did not change at all. Next, according to the course of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in history, the Japanese army also launched a siege of the base area in the northwest of Shanxi, an offensive operation in the southwest of Shanxi, and a siege of the Nine Roads in the southeast of Shanxi.

The reason for this is that the Japanese army at this time basically did not know much about the Eighth Route Army, and their main combat objects were the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army. In their eyes, the Eighth Route Army is a guerrilla that runs away with one shot! Although they have suffered several big losses in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, because our army has fought ambush warfare that takes advantage of the terrain, and they leave after the battle, and they never fight the Japanese army to the death, the little devils have no idea about the tactics and strength of the Eighth Route Army until now.

Xiao Siming judged that the possible attack of the Japanese army on Yuxian this time was purely a retaliatory attack, and the scale of the troops dispatched was definitely relatively large, and it should adopt the tactics of quick battle and quick decision, with the tactical purpose of seizing the county seat of Yuxian.

Originally, Xiao Siming wanted to lead the troops, disguise the Japanese army, go west from Yuxian County, go around to Yangqu County, and from Yangqu County to Taiyuan City, looking for an opportunity to blow up the Japanese airfield. However, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region got that the Japanese army was about to attack Yuxian with heavy troops, so he could only bury his thoughts in his heart for the time being, and first cooperate with the four divisions to fight and escort Wang Lushui away.

There are priorities, there are so many devils, and there are many opportunities to fight, so I don't rush this moment!

After the troops camped in Nianzigou, Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui did not rest, gathered the cadres, and prepared to survey the terrain of Nianzigou. I didn't expect to set off before I started, and there was a gunshot in front of me!

Wang Quanyou, commander of the reconnaissance section, reconnaissance staff officer, and reconnaissance platoon commander of the independent battalion, is 23 years old and a veteran investigator.

The troops camped in Nianzigou, and Wang Quanyou was ordered to lead the reconnaissance platoon to go out to reconnoitre, and the task was to find out the strength and defense situation of the Japanese troops in the Jiujie area.

From Nianzigou to the old street, it was a highway in later generations, but at this time it was a mountain road. However, the villages in this area are dense, and the roads between the villages are connected, and the inconvenient thing is that although it is the upper reaches of the Xiushui River, there have been no roads along the river bank since ancient times, and the country roads are all over the mountains and mountains, uphill and downhill, and it is difficult to walk!

After walking for about six miles, as soon as he climbed a mountain beam, Wang Quanyou almost collided with a little devil!

Fortunately, Wang Quanyou was born in the old Red Army and had a high degree of vigilance, and he never left his gun when he carried out the tasks of the reconnaissance regiment.

After a shot was fired, Wang Quanyou had time to shout, "Lie down!" Little devil, shoot! ”

It was Wang Quanyou's shot, and the first encounter of the independent battalion started!

What collided with Wang Quanyou and them was a squad of sharp soldiers of the Japanese army. They are also climbing, but the reconnaissance platoon marching team led by Wang Quanyou went up from the yin side of the mountain beam, that is, the west side, and the Japanese army came from the yang side of the mountain beam, that is, the east side!

The habit of the Japanese army is that there are five sharp soldiers in front of the top soldier squad, a three-eight big cover of one color, and a military flag on the bayonet! The main force of the spearhead squad is two or three hundred meters behind.

Wang Quanyou's stained light was that he had a brand-new German-made 20-shot barge gun captured by the independent battalion from the Japanese special forces in Yuxian County, and that guy had fierce firepower in close combat!

A shot was fired, Wang Quanyou didn't think twice, and then he pulled the trigger continuously, the barge gun in his hand clicked and screamed, and a shuttle bullet swept towards the remaining four devil soldiers!

These five devil soldiers were unlucky, and under the continuous fire of the shell guns, they fell directly, and their bodies rolled down the steep mountain road on the hillside. However, the main force of the devil spear squad behind was alert, and saw that the devil squad leader gave an order, and the soldiers were lying down and rolling on the hillside, looking for shelter, and soon, from a distance of two or three hundred meters, they began to shoot at Wang Quanyou and them on the mountain beam.

After killing the five devil spears, the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon who rushed up behind also began to lie down and fired at the main force of the devil spear squad halfway up the slope.

Wang Quanyou only had time to observe!

This observation, Wang Quanyou gasped!

Behind the Devil's Spearhead Squad, there was a squadron of Japanese soldiers wearing steel helmets on their cotton caps, and on the opposite hillside were also Japanese soldiers, marching on the mountain road. At the top of the hillside, the road climbed up the mountain beam pass, and Japanese troops also appeared, and there was no end in sight!

This Japanese army, to say the least, has more than 2,000 people!

Wang Quanyou didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the two scouts to run back to Nianzigou to report to the battalion commander, and he commanded the reconnaissance platoon to block on the spot!

Hearing the gunshots, Xiao Siming immediately realized that it was the reconnaissance platoon led by Wang Quanyou who had encountered the Japanese army!

At this time, as soon as the sky was dark, the Japanese army had already arrived here, needless to say, this Japanese army was taking a shortcut to sneak attack Yuxian!

The 4th Division ordered the independent battalion to sneak attack the Japanese troops in the Jiujie area, but unexpectedly, the Japanese troops rushed to Yuxian in advance along this passage!

The last time the Japanese army in Shouyang attacked Yuxian, it was along the road from Yuxian to Shouyang. Historically, the Japanese army in Pingding captured Yuxian, and they also attacked and advanced along the road from Pingding to Yuxian. Now this Japanese army suddenly appeared on this mountain road that could not pass through tanks and cars, which shows that the Japanese army's attack on Yuxian County had been planned for a long time, and the purpose was to fight our army coldly!

Think about it, if it weren't for the Japanese army suddenly encountering the reconnaissance platoon of the independent battalion here, and when they walked out of the mountains and suddenly appeared in the basin of Yuxian County, Ye Changgeng's troops who stayed in the Nanlou area would definitely be caught off guard! Not to mention the city of Yuxian, which can only retreat in a hurry, and even the supplies have no time to be transferred!

From this, Xiao Siming thought that the Japanese army's tricks must be more than these, could the Japanese army send another troops to attack from Shouyang and Pingding, and attack Yuxian?

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Siming felt that it was absolutely possible. The little devil's sense of revenge is so strong, and so many people were killed in Yu County, they must have to take revenge tragically!

Thinking of this, Xiao Siming immediately ordered the cavalry communication squad of the communication platoon to immediately send a messenger to return to Nanlou Village on horseback, report the enemy situation to Ye Changgeng, and ask him to immediately report to the leaders of the Fourth Division, Chen Yisheng and Han Chunde, and make preparations to meet the Japanese army in the direction of Shouyang and Pingding, and urgently implement the clear of the wall! The independent battalion will block the Japanese army in the area of Nianzigou and resolutely repel the attack of the Japanese army on this road! After completing the blockade, wait for the opportunity to transfer and continue to complete the scheduled combat mission!

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Siming ordered the troops to assemble immediately, Wang Meng, the commander of the third company, commanded the first platoon, the fire support platoon, and the first platoon of the heavy machine gun team to seize the commanding heights of Nianzigou, and Chen Minghui, the instructor of the third company, led the second platoon and the third platoon to seize the hilltop position on the south bank of the Xiushui River; Zheng Xiuchuan, deputy battalion commander, commanded the second company, the engineer team, the artillery team, and the heavy machine gun team to seize the position on the mountain beam west of Nianzigou, and not only to establish a blocking position, but also to establish an anti-slope position; A company was on standby in Nianzigou Village; Shi Poshan, the deputy instructor, commanded the baggage team and the battalion team to escort Wang Lushui's political commissar to Baijiagou, and set up a guard position in Baijiagou to prevent the Japanese army that might attack from Shouyang to Yuxian from turning south from the road and cutting off our army's rear road! All units immediately took action to prevent Japanese planes from bombing and firing poison gas bombs and incendiary bombs!

After the troops began to move, Xiao Siming ordered the trumpeters and the flag soldiers of the communication platoon to go up to the mountain beam to blow the trumpet and wave the flag, notify the reconnaissance platoon, and after blocking for a while, quickly retreat!

As soon as Wang Lushui heard Xiao Siming's deployment, he knew that because he had not had time to survey the terrain and did not know the situation of the terrain in front of him, Xiao Siming established the main position of blocking the attack on the mountain beam west of Nianzigou, leaving a company as a reserve, in order to fight a counter-attack and support the third company to fight!

The weapons and equipment of the third company were the concealed weapons of the Jin Sui army from Jueshan Temple. The reason why they were put in front was to paralyze the Japanese army and make the Japanese think that it was the troops of the 4th Division who were blocking the attack!

The reason why Xiao Siming did not order the troops to run to reinforce the reconnaissance platoon was because the terrain in this area was mountainous and hilly, and if the fortifications were not built in advance, it would be easy for the Japanese army to occupy the position. It can only be fought day by day!

The enemy situation was urgent, and as soon as Xiao Siming gave the order, the troops moved quickly!

Wang Quanyou heard the sound of the military horn and saw the flag, but at this time he was having a good time!

In mountain warfare, it is very important to seize the commanding heights. Wang Quanyou and the others climbed the road pass of the mountain beam before the little devils, and opened fire condescendingly, naturally taking advantage of it!

The squad leaders of the reconnaissance platoon were all carrying Jinzao submachine guns on their backs, with Wang Ba boxes pinned to their waists, and the soldiers were all 38 big covers, and the three squads were also equipped with three Type 96 light machine guns. As soon as this firepower was launched, the devil team that was shooting upwards on the slope of the hill couldn't bear any strength, and little devils kept being hit.

It's a pity that there is a large army behind the little devil, and he is not timid in his heart, and he will not retreat from the fight. It's just that Wang Quanyou participated in the three-day tactical training of the teaching team organized by Xiao Siming, and learned the principle of what target to hit first and what target to hit later, and concentrated his fire on the squad leader of the little devil and the machine gun group and grenadier group that were exposed because they needed to establish a position. After a round, he sent the devil squad leader, machine gunner, and grenadier back to Amaterasu's arms. Only those devil riflemen who are not dead, under the cover of the trenches on the hillside, are still shooting upwards!
