- Yi County

Yi County is located between Baoding and Beiping, the population here is not much, but there are many nationalities, it is an area where many ethnic groups live together, here is also known as the seventh of Taihang Eight Mountains, the Japanese army in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from harassing down the mountain, stationed a wing of troops in Yi County, and built a large number of pillboxes, turrets, barbed wire, trenches and other fortifications, turning Yi County into a military fortress.

In fact, not only Yixian, but all the mountain road exits that can allow large troops to pass through have successively become like this in the past six months, and the Eighth Route Army simply did not take these avenues and took the unmanned trail, which was enough for a small force like the guerrillas.

In the Yi County Headquarters, several Japanese officers were in a meeting, and a huge map of Taihang Mountain was hung on the wall.

"The day after tomorrow is the time for the start of the sweep, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong, in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from knowing our offensive time, most of the troops are still stationed in Baoding and other big cities, so when the large troops come up, the follow-up reception work is also the focus, especially the logistics, as well as the security of the warehouse." As he spoke, the Japanese commander touched his beard and wondered if there was anything missing. "Although Taihang Mountain is big, the encirclement and suppression of our 300,000 army is to go over step by step, and we can also completely turn over Taihang Mountain. So stability is the most important thing, get it? ”

"Hey!"

And on the Taihang Mountain, where the Japanese army was worried, Chen Geng was making the final combat deployment.

"The terrain of Yi County is not precipitous, but in order to guard against our army, the Japanese army has built a large number of fortifications near the Yi Shui River, and according to reliable intelligence, at least six brigades of Japanese troops will arrive in Yi County at any time, so we must take Yi County in one day and one night to complete the task." Chen Geng said simply, pointed to the map and said, "We have eleven regiments and nineteen guerrilla brigades, which can be said to be the main force of our entire Taihang Mountain Theater, with more than 30,000 troops. ”

"Yes!"

"The 208th Brigade and the only regiment and the only third regiment attacked Wanglong Mountain on the left side, which is the location of the Qingxi Mausoleum, there are two regiments of the puppet Manchurian **** and a Japanese squadron, although the terrain is dangerous, but we will have air force cover, so don't ask me about difficulties, we must take it before eight o'clock!

The 69th Division attacked the town of Yongyang, where there was a large group of Japanese troops and a regiment of puppet troops, and your task was also to take the town before eight o'clock, remember, you must occupy Tanshan next to the town, which is the commanding heights nearby, and your task is to hold our right flank.

The 771st and 772nd regiments were the middle road, attacking Yixian County, and all positions north of the Yishui River were to be taken before eight o'clock.

All the guerrilla brigades were to sweep up the troops, and when the main enemy was defeated, they immediately pursued them, and they must completely annihilate this Japanese force.

This time, we have the rocket artillery supported by the division headquarters, plus the rocket units of our brigade headquarters, all of them are placed in the middle of the road, 13 o'clock, and half of the artillery of the remaining two roads is concentrated in the middle of the road, and I want to concentrate more than 200 artillery pieces to completely knock the devil down!

Finally, inform the comrades of Yi County to let the villagers try not to get close to the city, so as not to be affected. Still have questions? ”

"Nope!"

"Action!"

- Wanglong Mountain

Li Long looked at the black mountain and smiled at Zhang Guangbei next to him, "See?" Wanglong Mountain, this is looking at Lao Tzu, this mountain is looking forward to my main attack, don't rob it with me, how about it? ”

Zhang Guangbei was not only not reported by the soldiers in the last grievance meeting, but was promoted to a higher level in the recommendation, and is now the brigade commander of the 208 Brigade.

"I'm the brigade commander, you're the regiment commander, although Brigade Commander Chen hasn't decided who will attack the main attack, but in this army, there is still a distinction between the upper and lower levels, right? On the left side, I have the final say, our 208th Brigade will attack as the main attack, and your only regiment and the only third regiment will feint. ”

Kong Jie, the commander of the only regiment, immediately said urgently, "How can this be, you are a newly reorganized army, you should first familiarize yourself with the environment of the battlefield, I don't look down on you, but this war, it is still necessary to follow the objective law, I think it is still my only regiment to attack." ”

"Put your mother's loop fart, what is your only group to attack, Lao Tzu's only third regiment has the most experience in attacking fortifications, this part-time job, experience is very important, that is, we should let the only three regiments go on, Kong Jie, don't fight with me, don't forget, when I was fighting against machine guns on the Long March, you were still anti-rifle." Li Long glared at Kong Jie and said.

Zhang Guangbei looked at the two people who were arguing with each other to attack, and then recalled that he used to blame each other in the Jin Sui Army and the National Army because of who would withdraw first and who would attack, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Zhang Guangbei finally said, "Okay, no matter what, my military rank is higher than you after all, if you have any opinions, go to Brigade Commander Chen, my 208th Brigade will attack!" It's ten o'clock in the evening, and eleven o'clock the offensive begins! With that, he left the headquarters with the people.

"This bastard, that's it? This is a regiment of puppet troops and a brigade of Japanese troops, their brigade has been strengthened, and there are more than 30 mortars alone. Li Long said angrily.

Kong Jie licked his lips and said helplessly, "Then what else can I do?" He is indeed higher than us. ”

Li Long's eyes rolled, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, let's hurry up and prepare." After speaking, he left with Tian Jie and Shen Lang.

"Let the soldiers prepare, and the attack will begin at ten fifty-nine!" Li Long said, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised.

"Ten fifty-nine? Regiment commander, didn't Brigade Commander Zhang say eleven o'clock just now? Tian Jie hurriedly asked.

"Nonsense, we are really feints at eleven o'clock, a minute in advance, Lao Tzu is going to be the main attacker, and then Lao Tzu will say that my watch is fast, see what he can do with me? Hum! Don't let me be the main attacker, I want to beautify him. Li Long said with a ruffian face.

Tian Jie couldn't help but cover his mouth and want to laugh when he heard this, looked at Li Long and glared at him, and then hurriedly coughed, pretending to be serious.

"Remember, don't tell the government about this matter, otherwise our mother Zhao will have to be verbose again, that, Tian Jie, you pull up all the messy guns in our regiment, don't care if it's a mortar or the Italian artillery, it's all set up for me, and when the time comes, give me a hard beating!"

Tian Jie sighed and hurriedly agreed.

Zhang Guangbei inspected his offensive position, in the dark night, there was no light, only a little light on the side of Qingxiling, the mountains in July were full of mosquitoes, Zhang Guangbei instructed everyone to rub the medicinal oil, and on the other hand, let the soldiers be more patient, not to expose their position.

"Traveler, almost." The adjutant came over and said. Zhang Guangbei nodded, looked at his watch and said, "There are still three minutes, let everyone watch the flare action." ”

Zhang Guangbei stood next to the signal soldier and looked at the time, fifty-seven, five-eight-fifty-nine.

"Bang bang bang" suddenly a burst of artillery rang out, Zhang Guangbei hurriedly looked up, but saw a huge fire on the left side of Wanglong Mountain, and the attack horn sounded suddenly, and in the glasses, you can vaguely see that the blue sky and white sun flag are flying, and the searchlight of the Japanese army is also hurriedly shining there.

"Li Long, this bastard, actually played this hand with me, attack immediately, quickly, blow the trumpet of the charge, this is less than 2,000 enemies, we have nearly 10,000 people, don't care about the main attack feint, directly attack!" Zhang Guangbei said, hurriedly ran to the command headquarters, shook the phone and said, "Li Long, what the hell are you doing?" Why not look at flares? Why attack without permission? ”

"Huh? When the time comes, didn't you say that it was eleven o'clock, my brigade commander, I am not worried that you forgot to fight, and I think that I am a feint, this feint will naturally attract the enemy's firepower and attention, look, I did a good job. Ah, the devil has fought back, don't talk about it, comrades, follow me! With that, Li Long hung up the phone.

"Attack with all your strength, tell the people below that if you can't get the head of the devil captain, the whole army will give me a weight of thirty kilograms and march a hundred miles!" Saying that, Zhang Guangbei stomped his feet angrily.

Tian Jie looked at the artillery point carefully, constantly modifying the artillery position, and watching one stronghold after another being planted with the blue sky and white sun flag, the corners of Tian Jie's mouth became more and more raised.

"Grenades!" Shen Lang shouted, the first two soldiers around him immediately lay down and shot, and the soldiers behind him took out a grenade and threw it away, and soon the team approached the pillbox outside the stronghold.

"Recoilless cannon! Knock him out for me. As soon as Shen Lang waved his hand, a recoilless cannon squad immediately fired a cannon at the bunker, only one shot, the bunker was blown out of a big hole, Shen Lang did not wait for the smoke to dissipate, rushed over with the soldiers, saw a black shadow, smashed the gun, followed by a bayonet, and the others continued to attack after cleaning up.

On the mausoleum of Yongzheng, Daoguang and others, a battle scene was staged that they could never imagine, this battle was not for anyone's dynasty, but for the independence and freedom of the nation, for the nation that had been sleeping for hundreds of years to stand up again. The battle continues

- Yi County

"Co-Captain, Co-Captain!! Open the door. Something big happened, and the Eighth Route Army went down the mountain. ”

Fujiwara Hiroshi, who had just been lying on the bed, hurriedly got up, opened the door and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Countless Eighth Route Army has come down from Dabie Mountain, and there are Eighth Route Army everywhere from Wanglong Mountain to Yongyang Town, and Wanglong Mountain and Yongyang Town are urging us." As he spoke, the communications soldier took the telegram and handed it to Fujiwara Hiroshi.

Fujiwara Hiroshi crowded up to the top of the building, looked at the east and west sides, and sure enough, he saw a little fire, it was artillery fire.

"Baga is fast, send electricity to Beiping, the Eighth Route Army is attacking us. We need tactical guidance! Saying that, Fujiwara Hiroshi hurriedly took his clothes, walked down the stairs and said, "Gather everyone, go to the Yishui River defensive position, and be sure to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army." ”

Before he finished speaking, Fujiwara Hiroshi saw dozens of meteors flying in his direction.

"Not good! It's the Whistling Grim Reaper! Fujiwara Hiroshi had already heard of the name of this mysterious weapon, and where did he dare to stay on the roof, so he hurriedly ran to the basement. Before he had run a few steps, a huge roar and vibration sensation followed, and the entire headquarters was crumbling under artillery fire. The Japanese flag hung on the roof of the building was burned into a cloud of rags.

- Jing Chen

Dong Qiwu wore a tank cap and looked back at the tank group behind him, which was a hundred strengthened modified LT-38s, with a 47mm main gun, widened tracks and strengthened engines, which made him more adaptable to the Chinese environment.

Dong Qiwu touched the muzzle of his tank, and his confidence increased greatly, he had tried it, this cannon went down, whether it was a 94 Xiaodouding or an 89 tank, it was a cannon to understand, he sat on it, and he simply had the feeling that he could drive to Tokyo in one breath.

"It's time! Switch! Let's go! Fu Zuoyi stood at the head of the city and shouted loudly, the gate of Jingcheng Pass was slowly opened, and countless troops of the Seventh Army who had been redressed and reorganized strode out of the gate with high spirits and rushed towards the Japanese defensive fortress.

The first to bear the brunt was Dong Qiwu's tank group, but in just over 20 minutes, Dong Qiwu saw the Jingcheng fortress that was already facing the enemy.

"Bang" and "bang" tank groups opened fire in turn, countless artillery pieces were arranged in rows, and the Japanese heavy artillery in the fortress also went crazy and opened fire, and in the sky, there were dense thirty or forty fighters, throwing bombs and rockets at the fortress, where had the Japanese troops in the fortress seen such a formation, and the wing commander stationed here hurriedly sent a telegram to Beiping, hoping to send reinforcements soon.

- Beiping

King Minoru Higashikurenomiya looked at the battle report in shock, and said to Yamashita Fengfumi, "What's going on?" Could it be that our plans have been leaked? ”

Yamashita Fengwen nodded and said, "There is only one reason, now it seems that the Eighth Route Army is ready to strike first." ”

King Minoru of the East Kure Palace shook his head and said, "The geographical location of Yi County is very important, from there, the Eighth Route Army can go north to Beiping, or it can go south to Baoding. It is difficult to judge the next move of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Yamashita Fumi, on the other hand, disagreed, saying, "Your Excellency, Commander, we should hold on to our goal, shouldn't we?" I believe that we will continue to sweep up, and we only need to use the forces of Baoding and Beiping to completely defeat this force. ”

King Minoru of the Higashikure Palace nodded and said, "It's me who is a little panicked. ”

"Report! Shijiazhuang emergency electricity. Another communications soldier came running.

Yamashita Fengwen took the telegram, glanced at it a few times, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Commander, I'm afraid we have misunderstood, the Eighth Route Army didn't know about our plan, but they wanted to swallow Hebei!" ”

King Minoru Hitoshi of the East Kyure Palace took a look, but saw that it was written that the main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly came out of Jingcheng and attacked Shijiazhuang, and there were a large number of tanks and armored vehicles in the attacking troops, so it can be judged that this is definitely not a feint. It must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Eighth Route Army is attacking Baoding in the north and Shijiazhuang in the east, this is preparing to swallow Hebei." Yamashita Fengwen hurriedly said, "Once Shijiazhuang and Baoding fall, the whole of Hebei will be really dangerous." ”

King Minoru of the East Kure Palace wiped his sweat and said, "Absolutely not, we must block the Eighth Route Army, first easy and then difficult, first defend Shijiazhuang, the troops of Beiping and Tianjin immediately dispatched to counterattack Yi County, and told the defenders of Shijiazhuang that within a month, if they lose Shijiazhuang, they will kill myself by cutting my stomach!" ”

Yamashita Fengwen hurriedly nodded yes, and then asked, "Then what about our sweeping plan?" ”

"Defeat this attack first, and then immediately start sweeping, we can't let the Eighth Route Army develop anymore, this time it's to swallow Hebei, and next time maybe it's going to annex North China!" After King Minoru of the Higashikure Palace finished speaking, he sat down in his position and touched his head, his whole face was extremely hideous and fearful. (To be continued.) )
