Chapter 409: The base area is expanding

Seeing nine light machine guns and four heavy machine guns suddenly appear in front of him, the heroic and fearless Imperial soldiers fell one by one screaming in the oncoming rain of bullets, Yoshino's mind went blank, and only one voice couldn't help but echo: "It's over, it's over." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Tianshu's 16th Regiment is very strong in combat, this Yoshino knows, and he also knows that the 16th Regiment's use of machine guns has its own unique side, and the two squadrons of the 138th Wing were ambushed by the machine gun positions of the 16th Regiment and the whole army was annihilated, which he had already heard.

At this time, seeing so many machine guns suddenly appearing in front of him, he still didn't understand what was going on.

He was ambushed by the Sixteenth Regiment. Just now he wondered how he had escaped from the town so smoothly, and dared to love the New Fourth Army waiting for him here.

It's a pity that there is no shelter around, and their own soldiers have simply become live targets, and in less than a minute after the machine guns sounded, more than 60 Japanese soldiers who escaped from the town fell, and the remaining 30 or so devils also lay on the ground and did not dare to move at all.

It's just that even so, they couldn't escape the blow of the New Fourth Army, and after seeing the devil lying on the ground, the three companies of the fourth battalion of the New Fourth Army arranged on both sides immediately rushed up, and the grenade grenade was thrown at the devil lying on the ground.

Before the smoke cleared, these New Fourth Army had rushed to the side, and those devils who were lucky enough not to die turned their hearts sideways, jumped up from the ground with guns, and viciously threw themselves at the rushing New Fourth Army.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these New Fourth Army saw someone rushing towards them, they immediately raised their guns and opened fire, and after knocking down a few devils who rushed in front, they immediately met them with bayonets.

The two sides met each other, and the devil realized that even if he fought with a bayonet, he had encountered a hard ballast. These New Fourth Army troops rushed forward without fear, and at the same time, the New Fourth Army shot flares into the air in the distance.

When a strong devil soldier saw a short New Fourth Army rushing towards him, he immediately raised his gun and stabbed him, but who knew that the New Fourth Army would use his gun, and his body immediately retreated.

Seeing this, the devil soldier was secretly happy, and immediately stepped forward, holding his gun and stabbing again, but unfortunately, as soon as his gun was handed out, there was immediately a sharp pain in his ribs, and when he looked down, he saw that a bayonet was being quickly withdrawn.

What made him even more painful was that the bayonet was not drawn directly, but also rotated.

The devil soldier immediately realized that his power was rapidly disappearing, and then his eyes turned black and fell to the ground.

The New Fourth Army, which rushed up, worked in groups of three, cooperating with each other to fight with the devils, while those platoon-level cadres raised their pistols in the air and hit them.

What's more, seeing the devils in front of him gathered together, a grenade flew directly over.

Under the rapid and effective blows of the three consecutive rounds, the remaining devils only lasted less than five minutes, and all of them turned into dead corpses on the ground.

Knowing that the devils who escaped from the south side of the town suffered heavy casualties under the sudden blow of the machine-gun position he had placed in the south, and that the remaining devils were all reimbursed under the attack of the third company, Kang Shuidong's face showed the joy of victory.

Next, he naturally commanded the troops to clean up the remnants of the enemy.

After all, the battle takes place in the dark, and it is difficult to guarantee that no enemy escapes, and even worse, there may be devils and puppet soldiers hiding in the homes of fellow villagers.

By dawn, Majiaji had regained its calm, and Kang Shuidong walked into Yoshino's headquarters in Majiaji, and when he saw that it was a mess inside, he couldn't help but pout and smile.

By the time the soldiers had cleaned up the headquarters, the situation of the companies was reported.

Kang Shuidong's four battalions lost sixty-two soldiers in the battle against Majiaji, and twenty-seven soldiers were wounded. However, the results were very brilliant, not only the elimination of the Yoshino squadron, but also the capture of a large number of weapons and ammunition, in addition to the capture of a large number of food supplies in the warehouse of Majiaji.

In addition, in addition to Gao Weiheng's troops, there were also 65 Imperial Allied Army battlefield surrenders.

All of these 173 Imperial Allied Army have agreed to join the New Fourth Army.

The news of the victory had already been reported to the regiment headquarters through the radio, and Liu Tianshu learned that Majiaji had been captured, and instructed Kang Shuidong to send troops to guard the devils in Linshan County. At the same time, it is planned to send local cadres to set up an anti-Japanese regime in Majiaji and carry out anti-Japanese rescue work.

The next morning, Liu Tianshu came to Majiaji under the guard platoon of guards.

"Shuidong, your four battalions fought well in this battle, after Majiaji was recaptured, our base area has expanded again, and now the top priority is to do a good job of mobilizing the masses, and second, to prevent the devils in Linshan County from counterattacking. By the way, the mines planted by the devils in the west of the town have to be taken out, so you can immediately draw out a platoon of soldiers and learn mine clearance with me. Liu Tianshu thought of the minefield arranged by the devils in the west of Majiaji, looked at Kang Shuidong and said.

"No problem, regiment commander, I heard Gao Weiheng say that he knows about some devil mines, otherwise, I'll call him over." When Kang Shuidong heard Liu Tianshu talk about the mines planted by the devils, he remembered what Gao Weiheng said.

After a while, Gao Weiheng received a notice to Kang Shuidong's battalion headquarters.

"Regiment commander, this is Comrade Gao Weiheng, thanks to him leading the troops to revolt this time, my troops entered the town smoothly." Kang Shuidong pointed to Gao Weiheng and introduced to Liu Tianshu.

"You're the company commander Gao? Hello, I am Liu Tianshu, welcome to join our New Fourth Army, this time to conquer Majiaji, you have made great contributions, I thank you on behalf of the people of Majiaji. Liu Tianshu stretched out his hand to Gao Weiheng.

When Gao Weiheng heard that the young man in front of him was the famous Captain Liu, he couldn't help but be very excited, shook hands with Liu Tianshu, and shouted with a red face: "Hello Chief Liu." ”

"Hehe, Company Commander Gao, our New Fourth Army doesn't want to call the commander, you can call me the regiment commander." Liu Tianshu smiled, and then asked about the devil's minefield.

After listening to Gao Weiheng's introduction, Liu Tianshu knew that there were about 40 mines planted by the devils in front of the mountains in the west, mainly in the open land.

In the afternoon, Liu Tianshu took the soldiers of a platoon selected by Kang Shuidong to the minefield.

Hearing that the regiment commander was going to personally guide the soldiers in clearing mines, not only the company commanders of the fourth battalion came, but also many ordinary people came to watch.

Liu Tianshu held a long thin bamboo mark, tied with a wire tied to the front end, he walked to the minefield, carefully held the bamboo pole, and carefully tested the mud in front of him.

This muddy field, with a lot of fallen leaves on it, was carefully removed by Liu Tianshu, and then slowly probed, and after ten minutes, he had found out the location of the two mines.

It wasn't until he confirmed that there were only two mines in the mud in front of him that Liu Tianshu walked over very carefully, lying on the ground and digging the soil very carefully with his Swiss army knife, slowly exposing the mines below, until the soil around the mines was carefully removed, he took a closer look and found that the devil had buried just ordinary mines, so he carefully crawled over, stretched out his hand to remove the mine's firing device, and took out the mine.

It took him half an hour to get the two mines out.

The onlookers were naturally already worried, especially Kang Shuidong, who even had a heart in his throat.

The regimental commander is the soul of the sixteenth regiment, and if there is any accident, he will not be able to atone for his sins. But looking at the entire 16th Regiment, there seems to be no one who knows how to clear mines except for Commander Liu.

Now that the regiment commander took out the two mines safely, he was naturally relieved, and the next thing was to teach the soldiers of that platoon to clear mines.

After Liu Tianshu retrieved the mine from which the decompression device had been removed, he called the soldiers of the platoon and pointed to the mine and explained it carefully, especially the key points of the mine detection process.

It was not until two hours later that the fighters of this platoon basically mastered the main points of demining.

After seeing that these soldiers had mastered the essentials, Liu Tianshu encouraged: "Comrades, if you want to say that this demining is very dangerous, only by remembering the word "careful" and acting calmly and gently, the degree of danger will be extremely small. You should remember that when removing the hair compression, the movement must be light and the hands must be steady. ”

Subsequently, two clever soldiers began to detect and clear mines according to the essentials taught by Liu Tianshu, with Liu Tianshu pointing from a distance, these two soldiers put their safety at risk, and spent an hour successfully taking out a mine.

Next, the work of mine clearance was naturally taken care of by the soldiers selected by the Fourth Battalion to be responsible for mine clearance, and Liu Tianshu, after teaching Kang Shuidong the relevant points of mine laying, focused his main energy on developing eastward.

Because on the night of the second day after Kang Shuidong defeated Majiaji, Tong Guijie also successfully uprooted the stronghold of Liuzhuang, so that the nail between Zhang Baling and the base area was successfully removed, and the conditions for the 16th Regiment to develop towards Zhang Baling were ripe.

The devils of Linshan County, after learning that Majiaji had been captured by the 16th Regiment, did not gather heavy troops to attack Majiaji, but sent additional troops to Xingtian Town.

It seems that Senmu is now only thinking about how to ensure that Linshan County is not attacked by Liu Tianshu.

Seeing this situation, Liu Tianshu immediately asked Kang Shuidong to send a company of troops to attack the Longyan stronghold.

Who knew that the troops who went to attack the Longyan stronghold had not yet arrived, and the devils who were originally stationed in the Longyan stronghold actually gave up the Longyan stronghold and withdrew to Xingtian Town.

So the company sent by Kang Shuidong was arranged in the Longyan area to guard against devils, while mobilizing the masses there.

After the local cadres sent from Wangjiadian carried out their work in the Majiaji area smoothly, Liu Tianshu discussed with Guo Sizhong and Deputy Regiment Commander Liu and decided to send a battalion to develop in the direction of Zhangbaling, while Kang Shuidong's fourth battalion was stationed in Majiaji and was responsible for the first line of Liuzhuang, Majiaji and Longyan.

At the same time, in accordance with the instructions of their superiors, Liu Tianshu and Guo Sizhong began to set up independent battalions in the base areas, so that they could be responsible for the defense of the base areas after the main force went out to fight.

After completing a series of consolidation work in the base area, Liu Tianshu's eyes began to stare at the enemies around the base area, looking for the enemy's flaws.

Because at this time, Tong Guijie's work of mobilizing the masses in Zhang Baling was carried out well, the area of the base area was greatly improved, and the detachment had already come to order Liu Tianshu to form another independent regiment when the conditions were ripe. (To be continued.) )
