The two regiments that the 129th Division came to reinforce were the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, and when Liu Hua saw these two regiments, he immediately thought of Ye Chenghuan, the commander of the 772nd Regiment who died in history. You must know that Ye Chenghuan was sacrificed in this battle against encirclement and suppression. But now that he is here, he has completely changed the pattern of the anti-Japanese war in the entire Shanxi battlefield, so Ye Chenghuan, who sacrificed in history, may not be sacrificed.

Before the headquarters held a meeting, Liu Hua called the political commissar, and the two jointly drafted a combat order for the two regiments that came to reinforce them. And at the fastest speed, it was sent to the temporary headquarters of the two regiments, and at this time, the two regiments happened to be hidden in a small mountain village less than fifty miles from the same pavement. Seeing the telegram sent by the Jindong Headquarters, the two regiment commanders were stunned, and they used the strength of the two regiments to drag the heavy troops of the two wings of the Yue Army, and they had to delay it for half a month, "Looking at such an order, the two regiment commanders sat at the table and smoked cigarettes in a dull manner.

"Lao Ye, what do you think of our mission this time!" Xu Shenji, the head of the 771st Regiment, looked at Ye Chenghuan, who was smoking, and said.

"Lao Xu, there is nothing to say, resolutely complete the task, this time the division commander, our two regiments were sent to Jindong to participate in the anti-sweep, on the one hand, it is to support the reading brigade in Jindong, and on the other hand, it is to train the troops, the soldiers will block, and the water will come to the earth." Ye Chenghuan, head of the 772nd regiment, replied.

"The task must be resolutely completed, but our troops, ammunition, not to mention, I hope that after this battle, we can bring more veterans back." The head of the group, Xu Shenji, said with a sigh.

"Yes, now each soldier has less than 20 bullets in his hands, and there are only 5 grenades, not to mention artillery shells, there are only a few dozen mortars in total, and one is less than ten rounds, this is still specially strengthened by us to reinforce the Jindong battlefield, but the devil has two wings" After listening to Commander Xu's words, Ye Chenghuan also felt it.

Once again, the Provisional Command fell silent.

"Report to the regiment commander, there is a company from the Jindong base area at the entrance of the village to contact whether to let it go." Ye Chenghuan looked at the chief of staff in front of him, and said without a little expression: "Let their commander come to the command." ”

"Hehe, Lao Ye, only one company came, I don't know if Commander Liu needs a company to liaise with him. I really don't understand," Head Xu said jokingly.

"Hey, won't they know when they come in and ask?"

Soon, a sturdy man with a shell gun on his back walked into the temporary headquarters under the leadership of the chief of staff, looking at the two leaders in front of him, Huang Zhonghua, the commander of the first company of the baggage, immediately saluted: "Report to the two chiefs, the first company of the Jindong Logistics Department came to report." ”

After listening to Huang Lian Zhang's words, the two couldn't help but be stunned, what did they do with the baggage troops? "Huang Lianzhang, I don't know what is important for the headquarters to send you over?" Ye Chenghuan asked with a puzzled face.

"Report to the two chiefs, the first company of baggage, on the order of the headquarters, escort a batch of ammunition and transfer it to the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment. As he spoke, he took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Head Ye Chenghuan in front of him.

At this time, the two regiment commanders were very complicated, but when they heard that it was the escort ammunition that was handed over to them, they couldn't help but look happy, and took the list in Huang Lianzhang's hand with anticipation. Head Ye Chenghuan unfolded the list in his hand and looked at it carefully, but slowly, the hands holding the list were already shaking unconsciously. At the same time, his lips began to tremble.

Looking at Ye Chenghuan with trembling hands, the head of Xu next to him was anxious: "Old Ye, what is it, you are talking!" You see your hands are shaking. ”

"Lao Xu, come and see, come and see, you can see for yourself, now we have ammunition," Captain Ye said excitedly.

"Oh my god, there are so many, now the soldiers won't be desperate with bayonets and devils." Seeing the numbers on the list, Xu Tuan exclaimed loudly. Indeed, 200,000 rounds of ammunition is indeed a large number in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army. "And so many mortar shells, and mines? Lao Ye, it seems that Commander Liu has prepared in advance, hehe, now the few artillery under my command can finally have a good time. Head Xu continued with a smile.

Hearing Commander Xu's words, Ye Chenghuan also smiled, you know, he has been in the Red Army for so long, and he has never received so much ammunition from his superiors, "Company Commander Huang, where are these ammunition now!" Head Ye asked with excitement pulling Huang Zhonghua's hands in front of him.

"Report to the chief, all ammunition is now at the gate of the command headquarters, ready for acceptance at any time." Huang Zhonghua saw the several leaders with excited faces, and finally realized why the commander allocated his own ammunition to support these two regiments, these two regiments were too much

"Let's go, Commander Xu, don't look at it, let's go and see the ammunition outside." When I walked to the door, I saw several large carts parked at the entrance of the headquarters, with all kinds of boxes piled up on them, "Guard Company, immediately help the comrades of Jindong carry the bullets." Ye Chenghuan looked at the ammunition in front of him and shouted excitedly, soon, several truckloads of ammunition were carried out with the help of hundreds of people.

Looking at the piles of ammunition in the room, the two of them were in a very good mood, and they no longer had the dullness just now.

"Haha, Lao Ye, with these ammunition, we have enough capital to rub off with the two wings, this time we must let the two wings of the devil not die but also shed their skin." Head Xu said with a smile.

With the help of ammunition, the two men had enough confidence to calmly arrange combat missions, except for the two regiments that each left a battalion of troops to carry out mobile operations, and the rest of the troops all took companies and platoons as their basic combat units, received enough ammunition and a certain number of mines, and scattered them along the entire Tongpu line.

Perhaps because the Tongpu Railway was too far away from the base area, the devils launched an attack a few days earlier than the other devils, but the devils who had just left the county town got a taste of what guerrilla warfare was. It turned out that a company of the 771st Regiment actually touched the base camp of the devils. In the night, a mine was planted on the road at the gate of the city, and countless nails and gravel were scattered on the mine. After completing the task, the company quietly retreated, and just like that, the gate of the devil's city was planted by the Eighth Route Army with a mine.

In the morning, the city gate opened, and a squadron of the army's avant-garde, under the leadership of the squadron leader, walked out of the city gate with great force. But it was not yet 200 meters away from the city gate. A violent explosion pushed him off his horse, and the squadron leader's first reaction was to encounter the enemy's shelling, and shouted loudly, "Enemy attack, hurry, hide", and after shouting, he also lay on the ground.

However, until the smoke on the highway cleared, the devil squadron leader never heard an explosion again. Looking at the place of the explosion in front of me, I saw a large crater in the middle of the road, and several Imperial soldiers were wailing beside it.

"Baga, it's a mine, it's not shelling, quick, go and treat the wounded, count the casualties." The squadron leader, who learned that he had been fooled, shouted loudly, and slowly walked towards the explosion point.

I saw that a half-meter deep pit was blown out of the road, and at least a dozen elite imperial soldiers were injured next to it, and it could be seen that there were several stumps and broken arms next to the pit, and the casualties were quickly counted, "The avant-garde squadron broke a total of 5 soldiers and injured 18. Most of the wounded Imperial soldiers were hit by explosives such as nails and gravel thrown by the explosion, and six of them were hors de combat."

"Baga, despicable Chinan, report to Dazuo at once and ask for sapper support." The squadron leader scolded loudly.

The wing commander, who had not yet left the city, suddenly heard a loud explosion in front of the team, and suddenly, the entire marching team stopped, and just as he was about to ask what was happening in front of him, the report of the vanguard squadron was delivered to him.

"Baga, before the war began, he lost the strength of a combat squad, ordered the engineer squad, running forward, to support the avant-garde squadron." The Wing Captain said loudly.

Soon, the engineer team that received the order came to the explosion site, and when they saw the deep pit of the explosion, the team leader immediately knew that this mine was a high-explosive mine with shrapnel such as iron nails, no wonder why the troops suffered so many casualties.

The team leader did not stop long, and immediately ordered the accompanying demining soldiers to start a slow search on the road, but they kept advancing for hundreds of meters and did not encounter a single mine. At this time, the wing commander behind him was angry, and the troops stayed at the city gate for half an hour, but they did not gain anything, and immediately ordered the engineer squad to stop clearing mines, and the troops immediately advanced

Unbeknownst to the Wing Captain of the Devils, this mine was just a small appetizer, and there were even better dishes waiting for him and his Wing in the back.

Less than an hour after the entire wing marched again, a "bang, bang, bang" wave of guns rang out on the hillside next to the road, and a dozen devils were suddenly knocked down by the sudden sound of gunfire in the marching column. Hearing the gunshots, the entire marching brigade immediately lay on the ground, and the machine gunners set up light machine guns one after another to return fire, and the bullets hit the leaves of the trees, but they couldn't hurt a single person, and they could only waste hundreds of rounds of bullets in vain.

It turned out that a platoon of the 772nd Regiment was ambushed here, and after firing the platoon guns, it quickly retreated. And after the troops of a squadron of devils surrounded it, there was nothing here except dozens of bunkers and dozens of bullet casings on the ground. wanted to chase it, but the shadow of the enemy could not be seen, so the squadron leader who led the team had to give up and return to the wing commander.

This kind of thing happened constantly during the march of the devils, in just one morning, the devils encountered seven attacks, although the casualties of dozens of soldiers were nothing for the imperial army with a wing, but in a whole morning, the troops only walked less than 20 miles, so if it goes on, when will it be able to reach Jindong

In this way, there is a mine in the east and a volley of guns in the west. A few shells were fired from time to time, completely stunned the devils, and the entire devil wing was completely turned around by the strength of a regiment, unable to sleep at night, unable to march during the day, and completely supported along the same pavement road
