Chapter 267: On the Way Back to the West (1)

When the troops left the Rongshan base area, Liu Tianshu brought the first battalion, the second battalion and the machine gun battalion to the martyrs' graves buried in a mountain forest in Rongshan after sacrifice. ”

All the officers and soldiers raised their hands and saluted the most solemn military salute to the fallen comrades, and tears flowed silently from the faces of many soldiers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Subsequently, Liu Tianshu raised his pistol and fired two shots into the sky, and the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment followed and fired a few shots into the sky.

Returning from the resting place of the martyrs, the people of the Fuyashan Independent Regiment said goodbye to the soldiers and villagers of the Rongshan base area with tears and embarked on the journey back to Fuyashan.

When leaving Rongshan, Liu Tianshu chose to be at night, after all, they had to pass through the devil's defense area. Although the route chosen to return this time is a remote area controlled by the devil, once the devil knows that the Fuyashan Independent Regiment is returning west, the little devil who is annoyed and angry will not send heavy troops to intercept him on the road.

Out of the territory of the Rongshan base area, Shi Qiang's reconnaissance brigade immediately reconnoitred in front, followed by Hao Mengxuan's second battalion. Xu Zhongnan's Sixth Company only had more than 20 people left, but Liu Tianshu did not cancel the establishment of the Sixth Company, but asked Hao Mengxuan to draw two squads from the Fourth Company and the Fifth Company, and first let the Sixth Company restore its original shelf.

After this battle, the Sixth Company can be said to have completed the rebirth of Nirvana, not only the company commander Xu Zhongnan, but also the twenty or so soldiers who survived, all exuding a kind of bloody battle depression.

It can be said that the Sixth Company has faintly had the prototype of an iron-blooded company at this time, although the losses of the Sixth Company are too great, as long as it is replenished, it will definitely soon become an invincible heroic force.

Even the four squads that were newly transferred to the Sixth Company were quickly influenced by the veterans of the Sixth Company, and their bodies were full of an iron will.

In order to ensure the safety of the troops' return to the west, Liu Tianshu extended the guard post to both sides for one kilometer. As for the machine-gun and artillery companies, they walked in the middle. Jin Zhenbiao's battalion, although it maintained the frame of three companies at this time, actually only had the strength of one company, and Liu Tianshu transferred a squadron of the reconnaissance brigade to be temporarily commanded by Jin Zhenbiao to be responsible for covering the broken back.

On his return to the west, Liu Tianshu brought with him 12 heavy machine guns, 20 crooked handles, two 92 infantry guns, and 8 60 mortars.

Together with the ammunition and rations each soldier carried, the weight per person increased by almost twenty kilograms at once, which also slowed down the troops' advance.

Fortunately, at this time, the Japanese army in Shandong was attracted to the west because they learned that a main division of the Eighth Route Army suddenly moved eastward, so they did not pay attention to Liu Tianshu's return to the west.

Compared with the eastward advance of the main division, the return of the Fuyashan Independent Regiment to the west is just a small matter. Except for the devil commander in Jinyang County, who was a little vigilant, only Sasaki in Fuchang County was paying attention.

You must know that a main division of the Eighth Route Army suddenly advanced eastward, which was a force of tens of thousands of people, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army with extremely strong combat effectiveness suddenly became more powerful in Shandong, and the impact on the next situation was indescribably huge.

The Japanese army headquarters in North China stared at the western part of Shandong, and at the same time a large number of Japanese troops began to assemble in Luxi, but unfortunately the main force was the main force, the main division of the Eighth Route Army, which easily flashed the Japanese army's several blockades, and entered the northwest of Shandong in a blink of an eye, so that the Japanese army had to think about how to deal with it.

On the morning of the next day, Liu Tianshu learned through the radio that Liao Zhifeng had made contact with the main force that rushed to Fuya Mountain, and at the same time began to prepare to encircle and annihilate the devils in Pingyuan Town.

Shi Qiang received the order from the regiment commander and immediately excitedly called the two platoon commanders.

"Lao Wang, Lao Zhu, the regiment commander ordered us to uproot all the devil strongholds along the way. Come, you two come and see, this is the Lijiashan stronghold, this is the Yangqiaoba stronghold, this is the Jintangao stronghold, these three strongholds are about ten miles apart, and the devils closest to these three strongholds are all ten kilometers away, and according to intelligence, the enemies in these three strongholds are only one squad of the Japanese army and one platoon of the puppet army. Tell me, how will this battle be fought next? ”

The reconnaissance brigade has four platoons, also known as four squadrons, each platoon has three squads, sometimes called squads, Deputy Captain Chen Jian took away a platoon, and another platoon was temporarily transferred to the command of Battalion Commander Jin, and Shi Qiang only had two platoons in his hands.

As for Shi Hu, as an ace sniper, he served as the squad leader of the sniper squad directly under the brigade, and there were five snipers below.

It's just that these five snipers have guns in their hands that are not sniper rifles, but the best three-eight covers that have been selected.

The entire independent regiment had only two sniper rifles with scopes, one with a muffler on it, which was used by Shi Hu, and the other without a muffler, but was taken by the regiment commander for himself.

"Captain, I think so, I am responsible for attacking the Yangqiaoba stronghold, and Platoon Commander Zhu is responsible for attacking the Lijiashan stronghold, after we capture the stronghold, we will immediately rush to Jintangao, and take the Jintangao stronghold together, so as to clear the way for the main force behind." Platoon Leader Wang said with a grin.

When Shi Qiang heard what he said, he stared at him with his eyes and said, "Lao Wang, this time to uproot the stronghold, it requires a quick battle, and there is no other army to cooperate, are you sure that you will successfully take the Yangqiaoba stronghold?" ”

"Captain, don't you worry, aren't there just dozens of enemies? If Wang Dachun can't even destroy this little enemy, I, the platoon commander, will have no face to be anymore. Wang Dachun patted his chest and said.

"Okay, if you have this determination, I will be relieved, but you must pay attention to reducing casualties, if the price paid is too great, I am afraid that the regiment commander will defeat me." Shi Qiang did not forget to advise.

Subsequently, the two platoons of the reconnaissance brigade immediately rushed forward, especially Wang Dachun, with the second platoon of the reconnaissance brigade, immediately bypassed Lijiashan and rushed to the direction of Yangqiaoba.

In order to successfully eliminate the devil, after Wang Dachun crossed Lijiashan with the second platoon, he immediately asked a squad of soldiers to follow him to change into the devil's costume, and then swaggered towards Yangqiaoba.

At noon, the group arrived outside the Yangqiaoba stronghold, he glanced at the devil turret in the mountain pass in front of him, explained a few words to Deputy Platoon Commander Li, and then took the twelve soldiers disguised as devils, turned onto the road and walked towards the turret.

Deputy Platoon Commander Li took the remaining two squads and quickly approached the turret from the mountains and forests, and prepared in the mountains and forests two hundred meters away from the turret.

Wang Dachun's action was a bit risky, and when Deputy Platoon Commander Li arrived in the mountains and forests, he immediately asked the mortar gunners to prepare for shelling, while the light machine gunners in the platoon were ready to shoot.

Each squad of the reconnaissance brigade was armed with a light machine gun and a grenadier for suppressive fire, and each platoon also had a mortar. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance brigade is not much worse than that of a squadron of devils.

As for special operations and jungle warfare, they are more than one level higher than the devils.

The devil sentry guarding under the turret saw a group of Japanese soldiers coming over in a bit of a panic, hurriedly waved their guns, and shouted and asked, "Stop, which unit are you from?"

Wang Dachun waved his hand to stop the pace of the soldiers behind him, and then said loudly in Japanese: "We are from the mountain brigade, we were separated from the army two days ago, and we got lost in the mountains, and we finally came out, may I ask which unit you are from, and where is this?" ”

Wang Dachun pretended to be a scattered unit of the Shanye Brigade, and he also pretended to be lost.

Anyway, Wildcat Gully is only seventy or eighty miles away from here, and it seems reasonable to say that he got lost in the mountains and arrived here after seven or eight turns.

The Shanye Brigade fought fiercely with the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Wildcat Valley, and the devils guarding the stronghold of Yangqiaoba still heard about it, but they didn't know the specific situation over there.

"Yamano's?" The Japanese soldiers guarding under the turret were a little confused, and said half-convinced, "You wait here for a while, and I'll report." The Japanese army was still very careful, let Wang Dachun and them stop where they were, and at the same time confessed to the two imperial troops guarding under the turret, and turned around and ran into the turret.

How dare those two imperial allies aim their guns at these imperial soldiers, they can only stand there with a smile on their faces.

Wang Dachun saw that his party was only 50 meters away from the gate of the turret, and immediately quietly signaled to Deputy Platoon Commander Li behind him.

Seeing this, Deputy Platoon Commander Li immediately ordered the mortar men to open fire on the turret. At the same time, the crooked handle also hit directly towards the turret.

Hearing the sound of gunshots, Wang Dachun shouted in a panic in Japanese: "Oh no, the Eighth Road is coming." With that, he led a few people and quickly ran towards the turret.

At this moment, the sound of cannonballs whistling in the sky was heard, and then it fell on the other side of the turret, and a huge explosion sounded.

Cao, the devil soldier guarding the turret, was listening to the sentry's report, when he heard the cannonballs flying, and at the same time the gunshots rang out outside, he was shocked, and when he turned his head to look, he saw the figure of the Eighth Route Army in the distance.

Those Eighth Route Army fired at the more than ten Imperial soldiers who were running towards the turret, he hesitated for a moment, and the ten or so Imperial soldiers quickly ran into the turret.

At the same time, the mortars of the Eighth Route Army seemed to have adjusted the parameters, and the impact point quickly approached the turret, two shells exploded at the root of the turret, and the flying stones hit the turret, and the two flying stones actually flew into the turret from the shooting hole, wounding the two soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army who were shooting outward.

Just as the Devil Army Cao ordered the soldiers to shoot and prevent the Eighth Road from approaching, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and a military Cao ran to the third floor panting with breath.

"Which of you is the commander?" As soon as the soldier went up to the third floor, he immediately asked aloud in Japanese. (To be continued.) )
