Chapter 22 Breaking the Road is the War of Resistance
"Folks. The devils entered our China, hit our doorstep, killed our people, robbed us of our things, and were more vicious than robbers and lake bandits! Our army is at war with Little Japan, and we have to help destroy the big and small roads, so that the chariots and cannons of Little Japan can't pass! My old man took over this job! Now I declare that whoever is here is the village chief, go back to the village immediately, and organize the people to destroy the nearby road, as long as the two-wheeled car can pass, it will have to be destroyed for me! After Old Man Liu finished speaking, he waved his hand heavily, and he turned out to be a general.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we'll go back now!"
The three people in the crowd arched their hands at Mr. Liu, turned around and left. More than a dozen strong men were squeezed out of the crowd, and a few followed by each of the three people, it turned out that these three were village chiefs, but I didn't know, these village chiefs were not staying in their respective villages, what were they all doing in the township?
"Aquatic!" Mr. Liu shouted again at the crowd.
"Hey!" With the sound of answer, a tall man was squeezed out of the crowd, this person was wearing a white coarse cloth shirt, and the color of his exposed neck and arms was light soy sauce color, which was particularly distinctive. "Mr. Liu." Shui Sheng is quite polite, and after coming out, he first hugged his fist and arched his hand at Mr. Liu.
"Shui Sheng, you go and inform the other village chiefs in our township, repeat what I just said to them, and let the big guys hurry up and move."
"Hey!" Shui Sheng agreed, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd and left.
At this time, two or three hundred villagers had gathered at the gate of the township office, and Mr. Liu bowed his hand to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, the big guys are going home now, take hoes and shovels, the men follow me to the south road, and the women go home to cook and prepare to deliver food to the construction site, tonight, we will do it overnight!" ”
"Okay!" The villagers agreed, and they went back to their homes, and after a while, the group of people gathered at the gate of the village office dispersed.
"Mr. Liu, that's a good job!" Liu Xing stretched out his thumb and praised it, and then gave Mr. Liu a solemn military salute.
"I'm just doing a small favor, it's up to you soldiers to really fight devils!" Mr. Liu replied with a bow.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Liu, is on the battlefield, but he has never been merciless to the little devil!"
On the highway north of the Xinqiang River, hundreds of people were busy on the road waving hoes, shovels, and shovels in their hands, as if they were turning over the ground in their own fields. The peasants didn't know what it meant to destroy the road, they just cut the road and loosen the soil, just like they planted crops in the field, but they dug deeper into the soil.
It is certainly not enough to just mobilize a township. Liu Xing, with his guard platoon, searched several township offices along the way, most of which found the local township chief. Seeing that it was the officers of the government army who came to send official business, and it was for the purpose of fighting devils, of course they would not refuse, so they gathered the villagers one after another, and divided all the major roads and small roads in the township, and the peasants, like Xitang Township, began to turn over the land on the road.
Soon, all the villages, counties and towns in the vast area southeast of Yueyang got the news, and the local young and middle-aged laborers all spontaneously went to the nearby roads to participate in the construction. Destroying roads is a war of resistance! This statement quickly spread throughout the land of northern Jiangxi, southern Hunan, and northern Hunan at a speed like the wind.
Not only north of the Xinqiang River, but even the vast countryside south of the Xinqiang River has also spread all over the country, digging up the road, it is the War of Resistance! From the Xinqiang River to the north, almost every large and small road section has farmers with hoes working, and a huge all-** movement has been carried out unconsciously in the east bank of Dongting Lake in 800 miles.
At the beginning, Chief Xue of Changsha did not receive a report on this. The commander only pays attention to the group armies at his disposal, as well as the movements of the Japanese invaders in several directions, and the commander will not worry about any movement of the common people. It wasn't until the momentum of this movement was so great that there was a posture of not going over all the big and small roads in the area of the Ninth War Zone and vowing not to give up, that some staff members who were not clear about the situation took this matter as a joke and mentioned it to Chief Xue.
was different from the reactions imagined by the speaker, after Xue Yue listened, he was stunned, his face was red and white, "Check!" Check it out for me! Where did the road start to dig, who opened this head first, and who said these words first, you must find out for me! After a few minutes of silence, General Xue quickly gave this order to the staff officers beside him.
This battle has just begun, who is spreading such a message? The south bank of the Xinqiang River has also dug up the road, so doesn't that mean that the Xinqiang River will definitely not be able to hold it? Even if it really can't be held in the end, then it should be up to him Xue Boling to give the order to destroy the road and block the enemy's advance! Which unknown prophet concluded that the New Wall River defense line could not be held as soon as the battle began? Examine! Be sure to check! Find out who it is, the commander must give this guy who pretends to be a ghost a little bit of power!
The commander of the theater wants to find out one thing, but is it not extremely simple? However, the attack momentum of the front-line devils was too fierce, and before Chief Xue got the name of the perpetrator, the New Wall River had already been lost! Looking at the telegram on the table that Guan Linzheng had successfully retreated south from the south bank of the Xinqiang River, and then looking at the piece of paper with the name of the perpetrator written on it, Chief Xue smiled slightly, and tore the piece of paper in his hand casually. The retreat is already a fait accompli, what else is there to pursue?
In the northern Hunan region, Dongting Lake is in the west, and the mountains are in the east, Huangdou Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Fangshan Mountain, and Dayun Mountain, which stretch for thousands of miles. Gao Quan stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the soldiers who were busy in the col for a while. This is the battlefield he chose, and the vicious plan can only be carried out in a sparsely populated place. Just as the book says, too vicious tactics are harmful to heaven and harmony, and the fewer people who know, the better. Although this Phoenix Mountain is not an extinct wild mountain, it is indeed much more desolate compared to the fertile fields and fishing grounds on the shore of Dongting Lake.
The road-breaking movement initiated by Liu Xing did cause a lot of trouble to the devils. The 45th Wing of the Japanese Army was ordered by the commander of the Shiro Inaba Division to clean up the troubled Chinese army, but as a result, the Chinese army did not find it, but the 45th Wing fell into an embarrassing state of being unable to advance or retreat.
It is known that the 45th Wing is the main infantry wing in the 6th Division. The reason why the Sixth Division is so powerful is that its soldiers have been trained for a long time is one aspect, and the most important thing is that this division has fierce firepower and a high degree of mechanization. When we talk about the fierce firepower of a unit, we certainly do not mean how advanced the rifles in the hands of the soldiers of this unit are, but generally refer to the fact that there are more tanks, artillery, and armored vehicles in this unit, that is, the degree of mechanization is relatively high. And the 45th Wing of the devil is precisely such an infantry wing with a high degree of mechanization.
