The autumn breeze is cool.

Zhengtai Road is the railway from Zhengding to Taiyuan. The Hutuo River flows out of the Taihang Mountains, and when it enters the Hebei Plain, a county in Hebei is called Zhengding. Zhengding, also called Zhending, Changshan, "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong is also!" "It's this Changshan. On the south bank of the Hutuo River is Shimen. Shimen, now known as Shijiazhuang.

The railway is from Zhengding, westward, and after entering the mountain not far away, it is Jingcheng County. From Jingcheng County to the north, there is also a railway, which is a fork leading to the Jingcheng Coal Mine. To the west of Jingcheng County is the railway leading to Taiyuan, and the next famous station is Niangziguan.

Niangziguan to the west, the big station is Yangquan, and then to the west, Shouyang County, and then to the west, Yuci, and Yuci is not far from Taiyuan.

This is the Zhengtai Railway. The attack on the eastern section of the Zhengtai Railway was completed by the Jin-Cha-Ji troops.

The force that broke through Niangzi Pass was the right column of Jinchaji, with Guo Tianmin and Liu Daosheng as commanders.

Their mission was to break the enemy in the section from Niangzi Pass to Ranliu, focusing on strongholds such as Niangzi Guanmo River Beach, and at the same time destroying railway bridges, stations, and tunnels. Cut off the railway west of Chaoliu, the main force of a Yangquan development, with 129

Liaison with divisional participating troops.

Niangziguan is composed of passes, Niangziguan villages, Niangziguan railway stations, the Japanese military camp is near the station, it is a large courtyard surrounded by brick walls, there are two artillery towers and a bunker in front of the barracks. There is also a company of puppet troops here, and their station is in Niangziguan Village.

Before Niangzi Pass, the Fifth Regiment had sneaked into Niangzi Pass Village unconsciously, and captured more than 50 puppet soldiers stationed here without firing a shot, which was very smooth. The rest of the troops lay in ambush in front of the pass and waited until eight o'clock for a general attack. The captives have already made it clear where the devil is stationed, and the bazooka and the conscienceless cannon are ready.

The two warriors were talking in a whisper, and one said, "Oh mom, why don't you start yet?" Time flies too slowly. ”

The other said: "I don't know how to tidy up the ground, but I can't carry it because the chief's watch is not allowed." ”

The first said, "Can you aim accurately?" It's getting dark. ”

The second said, "Don't worry, the windows of the devil's house are still on." ”

The first said, "My bazooka is eyeing the bunker." Compare to one? ”

At this time, a red signal flap sounded and flew into the air.

The first man aimed at the car, and with a tom, the bunker was hit, and the ground exploded, and then the fire burst into flames.

The second man's conscienceless cannon was also fired, and with a tom, the explosive pack was launched, and it fell into the middle of a row of houses and exploded, the explosion was so loud that although the house was made of masonry, it exploded and shattered, and the wall in front of the house was also blown open.

The devils in several houses were apparently blown up, and no one came out. In a moment, bullets were fired from several other houses. The battle began.

Then, machine guns rang out in the gun holes of the two watchtowers, and several of the attacking Eighth Roads immediately fell and were suppressed.

In one corner, a dark figure held up a gun, a strange gun with a round tube on it. The black shadow looked at the flame of the muzzle of the machine gun on the gun hole on the turret, put his eyes on the round tube on the gun, and pulled the trigger, and the machine gun stopped immediately.

The black shadow scolded: "Small." Changed positions, aimed at another gunhole, fired again, and scolded: "Small." "Change positions again.

On the other side, there was also a black shadow shooting with his strange gun.

After a few shots, the machine guns in the turret stopped completely.

When the eight roads around saw it, they cheered loudly and rushed up, and a few people who rushed in front took ladders and set them up on the trenches, and dozens of people rushed in.

As soon as the gun hole in the turret moved, someone immediately opened fire.

A few shots rang out inside, and the drawbridge was lowered.

It was almost unbelievable that the two pillbox watchtowers had been brought down so easily.

The obstacle was cleared, and the large force quickly rushed into the railway station, where several machine-gun positions were knocked out by cold guns. Soon, the train station was taken down.

Thousands of militia took to the field. They took all sorts of tools and began to dismantle the railroad. Some people took some tools from the station and handed them out to the militia.

Under the cover of the troops, the militia blew up the bridge, cut the poles, collected the wires, moved things, dismantled the railways, and a large number of sleeper rails were removed and transported.

After a night, the lady was clean and clean.

Historically, the puppet army of Niangziguan was captured alive, but the Japanese army fought very tenaciously, and soon, two more trains of Japanese troops entered the station. Some said that they had been discharged from the army and returned to Japan, while others said that they had gone on leave.

The arrival of these two groups of devils complicated the war, and a large number of Eight Roads were temporarily transferred. The battle is getting bigger and bigger. The night was not over, and in the morning I had to retreat.

However, due to the postponement of the battle, all these contingencies were gone.

Oct. 20, 8 p.m. North of Jingcheng County, Jingcheng Coal Mine.

The attack on the Jingjing Coal Mine was a central column commanded by Yang Chengwu of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

The mine is divided into two mining areas: the old and the new. It is extremely important that the coal produced here is transported to Angang in the northeast to make steel.

In order to protect this important coal mine, the Japanese army built a wall more than 1 zhang high around the old and new mining areas, and set up a power grid on the wall, and also set up barbed wire and outer trenches outside the wall.

In the power grid, there are 3 bunkers in the old mine and 4 in the new mine. In addition, on the hill 4 kilometers north of the mine, there are also 3 pillboxes built to monitor the mining area.

The 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment, which mainly attacked the new mine, was also equipped with a sniper and a bazooka. There are no large fortresses here, no conscience cannons.

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, the workers inside cut off the power supply and the bazooka was launched, blowing up the first pillbox. By the time the second pillbox was shattered, the fighters had already charged.

They first cut through the barbed wire with their knives and laid the door panels on the trenches, and the assault team immediately rushed into the coal mine along the gap in the pillbox.

The Japanese army had a garrison detachment of more than 30 people here.

The garrison detachment rushed to the battle, and some of them had just gone to sleep and were killed without even putting on their clothes. After two hours of hiding in several battlefields and a bunker, the remaining four devils were all wiped out and the new mine was occupied.

With the help of the workers, the militia removed 14 machines, 10 boilers, and 3 windmills. Most of the supplies were removed, including food, tools, wood, etc. The remaining equipment, including two pools, two chimneys, 5

Iron bridges and winch houses, motor rooms, railway stations, etc. were blown up.

This time a number of Japanese were also captured, including some Japanese technicians, including an engineer. The Japanese engineer said that the Japanese army would lose more than 30 million yuan in this mine alone, and it would be half a year before it could resume work.

After taking the station, the troops turned back and attacked the station. The Japanese troops stationed at the railway station were already on alert, and when they saw the attack from the Eighth Route, mortars began to fire. The soldiers of the troops were blocked, and some of the commandos touched the roots of the walls of the houses. The Japanese spotted the assault team and opened fire on the residence.
