Chapter 250: Candle Dragon - Phase 1 (4)

-- Luliang Mountain

Jiang Cheng yawned and looked at the blue sky, he wanted to see the exciting war scene, he was forced to be the temporary commander of this radar unit, of course, this is more because Mr. Zhu and others are afraid that Jiang Cheng will be in danger.

"The owner, does this mean that a plane has flown within our range?" Li Qian timidly pulled Jiang Cheng's clothes, Jiang Cheng smacked his mouth, and looked over in a daze, but saw a large white dot in the northwest on the radar screen.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly sat up and shouted, "Hurry, zoom in, the devil's plane is coming, calculate their route and distance!" ”

A few white people with their respective regional accents and Chinese who had just returned from overseas immediately took action, and soon, the data came out.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly walked to the command post with the information, and Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng were discussing something inside.

"Two bosses, the devil suddenly dispatched a large number of planes, and as of now, more than sixty planes have flown from the northwest." Jiang Cheng hurriedly spoke.

Mr. Zhu immediately asked, "Where is the direction?" Is there a division of troops? ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "They are very concentrated. All of them are flying in the direction of Taiyuan, they should be preparing to go to Taiyuan for repair before attacking, should we fight back immediately? ”

Mr. Zhu closed his eyes and thought about it, Mr. Peng looked at it on the map and said, "I don't think so, our purpose behind is to lure the enemy, if we shoot down all the devil's planes, then what kind of enemy will we lure?" And we're so scattered, the devil's plane can't catch us at all! We have radar again. As long as the devil's plane is dispatched, we will let the troops hide. ”

Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Well, that's it." But it seems that the little devil can't bear it for long, these planes are an omen, and the troops are ordered to launch the most ferocious attack again, allowing the attack on several weak county towns, and letting the devil move! ”

-- Taiyuan

"The Art of War" cloud: Therefore, there are five uses: there is a cause, an inner room, and an anti-room. There is a time between death and a place between life. Five of them are all up, and I don't know what to do. It is called the age of the gods, and the treasure of the king.

Tada Jun watched the planes slowly land one by one, couldn't help but nodded, and said to Takeda Yio next to him, "Takeda-kun." I have transferred seventy percent of the North China Air Force to our Shanxi Province. This is the first batch. Later, the Eighth Route Army looked at so many planes in the sky, I am afraid they were going to cry in fright. Your plan is very favored by the Terauchi general. ”

Takeda Yixiong bowed down and said, "All of this is the strategy of His Excellency the Commander, and the great assistance of the commanders. ”

Tada Jun looked at Takeda Takeo deeply and said, "You are much better than your teacher, Takeda-kun, work hard." By the way, Yoshiko Kawashima still has no news? ”

Takeda shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

Tada Jun sighed and said, "I hope she's safe." Let's go, let's go back, and the next step is to get ready to begin. Seeing hundreds and thousands of losses every day, I don't want to live a day like this. ”

Takeda Yixiong looked back at the dense Japanese planes, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, he was a shadow, never appeared in the sun, he couldn't contact the organization, just got what the organization wanted him to do from special channels, and then he went to complete the task independently, during which he didn't get any response from the organization, looking at so many planes, Takeda couldn't help but be a little afraid that the Eighth Route Army would be able to withstand it, but the plane changed quickly, even if he didn't say it, the Eighth Route Army would experience such suffering sooner or later. Takeda Yixiong sorted out his mood and secretly blessed his comrades from afar in his heart.

"Takeda-kun, hurry up." An officer beckoned to Takeda Takeo, who had fallen behind.

"Hehe, I'm here, I just thought of some ways to deal with the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and I'm really looking forward to the day when I present the flag of the Eighth Route Army to His Majesty the Emperor." Takeda said with a smile.

-- Liao County

Liao County is located in the southeast of Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, on the west side of the middle section of the main vein of Taihang Mountain. This is the border county of Shanxi, beyond Liao County is Xingtai County of Hebei, Liao County is mountainous, the population is only 100,000, the vast and sparsely populated mountainous area has become the breeding soil of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, at this time Liao County except for the county town only three or four hundred days of puppet army, there is no Japanese stronghold.

Outside the county seat, two officers of the Eighth Route Army wearing steel helmets and straw hats were looking at the county seat with binoculars.

An officer put down his binoculars and said, "The situation is already very clear, the Japanese army and the puppet army are all cowering in the county seat, according to the order of the military headquarters, we can attack Liao County, but the location of Liao County is very clever, it is on the cross plain between the four mountains, as long as the four mountains are occupied first, the county seat can be easily taken." Now there are about fifty or sixty enemies on each mountain, Commander Li, I think we will pick two of each to attack. ”

The head of the regiment is Li Tianhuan, who joined the Red Youth League at the age of 16 and is 27 years old this year.

Li Tianhuan smiled and said, "Then let's be close to the principle, I will fight from the west, you will fight from the east, Brother Shicai, don't run too fast, don't run away with your baby shoes." ”

Li Shicai is 32 years old this year, and he is a native of Xingguo County, a very famous "General County" in later generations, and he smiled and said, "That's not good, besides, my shoes have always been in my arms, and they can't be dropped!" ”

After speaking, Li Shicai led people to run to his own troops, his troops are the third regiment of the Taihang Mountain Military Region, the whole regiment has 13,400 people, most of them are developed locally in Liao County, the whole regiment has four or five hundred guns, and the rest of the soldiers are still holding cold weapons such as broadswords and spears. But in the previous battle, one or two hundred more usable guns were captured, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness.

Li Shicai shouted loudly, "The first and second battalions follow me, turn over from the village on the back to fight the Wenfeng Tower, the third battalion crosses the river, goes to feint to attack Xiaobeigou, and at six o'clock in the afternoon they will all arrive at the designated position for me, and the artillery company will follow me and act immediately!" ”

Since all the township strongholds were uprooted, in order to stabilize the situation, all the militia units acted as temporary police, patrolling between the various towns and villages, so only the two regiments of Li Shicai and Li Tianhuan participated in this battle.

The sun slowly came to the west side of the sky, and the stars and a bright moon gradually appeared in the sky. By the moonlight. Li Shicai could clearly see the stronghold on the mountain road with a telescope, and was shocked to find that they not only dug tunnels, but also cut down wood to build shelters. On the flat ground at the top of the mountain. Machine gun emplacements were also set. Further up, you can see two plaster flags representing the Japanese army and the blue sky and white sun flags of the Imperial Army. It's just that there is an ugly pig's tail on the blue sky and white sun flag, on which are written the words "anti-red and peaceful nation-building".

Li Shicai saw that the blue sky and white sun flag seemed to be back in the Jinggangshan period, he couldn't help but touch the shoes on his chest, which were made for him by a girl from the same village back then, the soles had thick seven layers, which were extremely strong, but he was never willing to wear them. Even during the Long March, when his straw sandals were worn out, he preferred to walk barefoot. It's just that during the war years, who is qualified to fall in love. I don't know if my sister is doing well in Jiangxi, but after the retreat, I heard that those homecoming groups killed the people in the red area miserably, ah Xingguo, do you want to go back?

Li Shicai shook his head. Shake out the distractions. Observing the terrain again, I found that the attack route was only about two or three feet wide, and it was not easy to attack in such terrain. Especially for safety, the Japanese also planted torches all the way, but there was no fire at the stronghold. If the troops attacked, they would not all be targeted.

At this time, Li Shicai heard a faint explosion in the distance, he knew that this was a fight from other directions, Li Shicai gritted his teeth and said, "The artillery company has five consecutive rounds to cover." A battalion is the main attack!"

Five mortars lined up in a row, shells fired one at a time on the ground. A group of soldiers sneaked up the hill under the leadership of the squad platoon leader.

"Bang!" With an explosion, one of the soldiers at the forefront flew violently, and then, as if pressing a button, the machine gun on the mountain opened fire on the troops, and several tongues of fire pressed the troops to the ground at once.

"Damn, it's a landmine! Artillery cover, machine guns go up to me to press the devil's machine gun point!! Pull a donkey and give me a thunderstorm! Li Shicai shouted loudly, and the five mortars were blasted at the place where the tongue of fire was constantly spitting out, and several machine guns also fired their might and began to take cover.

A donkey with a punctured eardrum, blindfolded, rushed madly up the hill after being whipped, and sure enough, another mine exploded. For the Eighth Route Army, donkeys and horses are more expensive than people, and seeing this, Li Shicai couldn't help but be in a dilemma.

Although the Japanese army was attacking in China most of the time, it was not without mines, and these mines often caused great trouble to the attacking Eighth Route Army.

"Commander, go to the torch there, the devil lights the fire, there must be no mines." A staff officer shouted. Li Shicai nodded again and again, although he knew that this was the purpose of the devil, he could only accept it.

Mortar shells exploded all on the Japanese positions, causing several fire clusters to appear in the Japanese positions hidden in the dark.

"Rush!!" The soldier at the front shouted, and one got up and wanted to charge, but before he could run a few steps, he was knocked to the ground by a shuttle, and the Japanese machine-gun point was not affected at all. Two grenadiers hit the crowd of attacking troops, and four or five fighters stopped moving.

"Regiment commander, no, the devil's machine guns are all in the bunker, our mortars can't blow up, the machine guns can't hit, and the devil's rifles are also very accurate, let's go down first!" The commander of the first battalion ran anxiously and said.

Li Shicai looked at the hill and listened to the gunshots, there were only forty or fifty people on the mountain, but they relied on three machine guns to hold the entire hill impregnable.

Li Shicai sighed at the defense capability of the Japanese army, and said, "The two light machine gun bunkers of the devil are temporary wooden sand fortifications, although they are dark forts, but the shooting angle is limited, and the most fatal thing is the small fortress on the platform, not only the brick structure, but also two grenadiers for the old man to shoot!" Hit a few flares! ”

The first battalion commander's eyes lit up, and he shouted repeatedly, "Good, good!" I'll go! ”

I only saw a small group of the Eighth Route Army, they were wearing camouflage uniforms, straw hats, carrying a large and thick pipe, rapidly approaching the hill, this unit gradually approached the front line, Li Shicai let the mortar fire a flare.

The flare ignites the illuminator in the air, and the gas pressure generated by the projectile throws the illuminator and the parachute out of the projectile, and the landing can be opened under the action of air resistance, and the illumination box is hung at a speed of 5-8 meters per second, slowly descending and burning, and the incandescent light shoots to the earth. All at once the whole mountain was like daylight.

The group took the opportunity to quickly aim the thick pipe at the light machine gun fortifications on the left side that were still firing, which was an 82 fragmentation shell, which accurately hit the light machine gun fortifications, the thin shells were deformed or shattered under the action of the huge impact, and the plastic explosives inside were tightly pasted to the surface of the wall like plasters, neither shattering nor scattering. Under the action of the time-delay fuse, the explosives attached to the outside of the wall exploded, and the resulting shock wave blew the wall to pieces with tens of billions of pascal pressure, turning the clods of earth and wood into deadly weapons, killing all the people in the fortifications.

"Good! Again! Li Shicai exclaimed excitedly.

The group saw that the other side was not easy to fight, so they fired a shot at the pillbox on the platform at the top of the hill, and the shell grazed four or five meters from the head of the pillbox. The distressed Li Shicai immediately covered his chest and shouted, "Bastard, I don't know how expensive this thing is?" Hey, if I can't capture that heavy machine gun, I'll have to punish them for running 10,000 meters. ”

The gunner also knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly picked up the gun and ran, and sure enough, he found that their Type 92 heavy machine gun was hitting their buttocks, which frightened the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army and hurriedly fired to help the artillery crew attract firepower.

The flare dimmed. Li Shicai waved his hand, and another flare was fired, and at this time, because of the lack of machine gun suppression on one side, the troops had already rushed to a place less than 100 meters in front of the Japanese position.

Finally, the crooked handle of thirty rounds stopped, the design of the crooked handle is to use the magazine of 5 bullets, to press up one by one, extremely time-consuming, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army know the shortcomings of this machine gun, just because the two machine guns cover each other, now there is only one, everyone secretly counts, one to thirty, no one to greet them, everyone rushed together, the Japanese puppet army on both sides hurriedly wanted to shoot with rifles, but was suppressed by the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army. The distance of 100 meters is only more than ten seconds, and when the Japanese army loads the bullets and looks out, they only see the grenades like raindrops smashed down, and when the grenades are blown up, there are already a bunch of Eighth Route Army on their positions fighting hand-to-hand with their own army, maybe they are timid, maybe they don't want to fight with the Eighth Route Army at all, those puppet soldiers see that the situation is not good, as if they throw away their guns and squat in the trench with their heads, they all know that the Eighth Route Army will not kill prisoners of war casually, and the heavy machine guns on the platform don't care about the Japanese troops in the positions below, Shooting like crazy.

At this time, the artillery team that found the right opportunity was a shell at the heavy machine gun fortress that was anxiously looking at the battlefield below, and this time the shell hit the fortress, and in the shouting, Li Shicai shouted, "Quick, attack!" ”

The trumpet blew loudly, and the plaster flag fluttering on the top of the mountain slowly fell. Li Shicai stood at the top of the mountain, looked at the county seat of Liaoxian County under the mountain and said, "Haha, now, it is difficult for Liaoxian County to take it, let the artillery company set up a position here, send a message to ask about the situation on the other side, and immediately rush down as soon as it is dawn!" ”

The sky slowly brightened, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was condescending, and several people rushed towards Liao County in all directions, and the blue sky and white sun flags were planted all over the hills around Liao County, making the only remaining Japanese troops in Liao County tremble.

Suddenly, a communications soldier ran up and said, "Report, news from the military district, two planes are flying towards us. ”

Li Shicai said indifferently, "It's only two, I'm afraid of a fart, let me continue to attack." Let the light machine gun be ready, and give him a shuttle as soon as he dares to descend. ”

When the flag of the county government was also replaced with the flag of the Eighth Route Army, a plane really came to the sky over Liao County, but what the hidden Eighth Route Army did not understand was that the plane did not strafe or bomb, but kept hovering in a safe area of 7 or 800 meters.

Li Shicai touched his head and asked Li Tianhuan next to him, "What is this little devil flying on it?" ”

Li Tianhuan also shook his head and said, "I don't understand, as if he just wants to know where we are, ah, did you say that there will be a large army of devils coming soon." ”

Li Shicai hurriedly said, "It's possible, let's send a telegram to the headquarters quickly." (To be continued.) )
