The great victory in Qinglong Town was not as hyped as Pingxingguan, but Mr. Zhu and others wished that the whole world would not know, otherwise the Japanese army's face-saving temper would definitely attack in advance, Mr. Zhu looked at the scene of countless corpses crisscrossing outside Qinglong Town, sighed and said, "It's still a bit of a loss to fight a positional battle." ”

Mr. Peng nodded and said, "This time we have the advantage, the devils have no artillery, and secondly, their tanks and planes are basically useless, and the ammunition is extremely lacking, and the number is not as large as ours, but even so, among the casualties reported by the various troops, there are nearly a thousand killed and even more injured. ”

Mr. Zhu picked up a shrapnel on the ground, which was shrapnel after a mortar exploded, and said, "This kind of battle, we won't have a few good fights in the future, this time we annihilated more than 4,000 devils, but the ammunition is also very consumed, 203 gave us shells, we hit nearly forty percent, and the special shells have lost more than half, and we can't afford to fight." ”

At this time, a war horse galloped over, and a communication soldier turned over and said, "Report to the two bosses, Yan'an is urgent." ”

Mr. Zhu took it and said, "It's good news, the bullet production line provided to us by 203 has been successfully installed, and we finally have our own production line, but the smelter and explosives factory are still under construction, so I'm really looking forward to it." ”

Mr. Peng looked at the telegram and said with a sigh, "I hope that the machines and workers we transport can arrive in Yan'an as soon as possible this time, and with this group of new forces, our development can be faster." ”

At this time, on the mountain road, the transportation team is endless, and after the first batch of experience, the team that set off later is much more adequate in terms of management and preparation, and the speed has also been significantly improved. Rest points in various villages. The Red Party cadres continued to do propaganda for the people, and the Shanxi New Army also used the limited time to do training as much as possible, they had learned of the brilliant achievements of the friendly army in Qinglong Town, and also understood that it was because of their own training that they were too little and their combat effectiveness was too weak to be sent to escort the people. The new army is holding its breath from top to bottom, hoping to go to the battlefield as soon as possible to prove its strength.

The 20th Division of the Japanese Army on the other side received the news of the disastrous defeat of the 2nd Mixed Brigade, and couldn't help but sneer at the legendary 1st Division, which is also one of the oldest divisions, and some of the soldiers are from Tokyo, which makes them unconsciously want to compare with the 1st Division. Although they were almost surrounded at Niangzi Pass, the fight was basically smooth sailing all the way, and the guerrilla warfare of He Longbu only made them feel overwhelmed. If there is any fear of the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, it is absolutely none.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo felt that this was a good opportunity for Yang Wei, and immediately ordered the troops to speed up, and soon surpassed the 109th Division, and even scraped the people everywhere along the way, preparing to use the people as a meat shield to force He Longbu to stop attacking him.

He Long took his pipe and lay on the mountain wall. Holding a telescope and looking at the Japanese troops not far away, I only saw that the Japanese soldiers were holding hundreds of civilians as meat shields. There have been many people injured because of landmines, and when the Japanese soldiers saw that someone was injured in front of them, they all laughed and shot directly.

"What's going on? Didn't you ask you to move all the folks? Why are there still villagers caught by devils? He Long directly mentioned the officer of the Shanxi New Army who was responsible for the departure of the people and asked.

"What are you doing? You are a member of the Red Party, and this is our comrade. You put it down for me and talk to it. Seeing that He Long was furious again, Guan Xiangying hurriedly stopped He Long.

He Long's eyes were red and he said, "This is dereliction of duty, it is an extremely serious dereliction of duty!" I will report to the central authorities and must be punished. ”

The commander and fighter were told to have tears in their eyes, and saluted and shouted, "I'll go and bring people to rescue the villagers." We will complete the task even if we die, and we will definitely not discredit the troops. ”

He Long grabbed him and scolded, "What kind of hero are you now?" Don't let the warriors die in vain. ”

Guan Xiangying also asked, "What the hell is going on?" Are there any other folks who haven't been evacuated? ”

The commander said, "We checked, it was from Dafa Village, when we went, we said that they would go to the mountains to take refuge, but as soon as we left, they came back, I heard that there was a son of a landlord who went to Japan to study, and said that the devils are all good people, civilized people, and will not mess around, but they all believed it, and they all went back, and they just happened to be caught by the devils, and our people watched from afar, and there was no way to save it." ”

Guan Xiangying scolded: "It's a dog traitor again!" ”

He Long thought for a while and said, "The fellows can only step on the anti-infantry mines, but the devils want to attack Taiyuan, those trucks and tanks must be brought, so don't lay anti-infantry mines in front, use anti-tank mines, I don't believe it, the devils dare to attack Taiyuan City that has just wiped out a brigade with light equipment." ”

Sure enough, when the devil found that it was okay for people to step on it, and his tank exploded as soon as it was pressed, he understood that this was an anti-tank mine, and the Japanese army's tanks and logistics trucks could only be transported by road, and they abandoned these things and went to Taiyuan lightly, and the Japanese troops of the 20th Division said that they still wanted to go home for the New Year next year, and they didn't want to go to Kudanzaka to meet the gods so soon.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo was so angry that he actually ordered the Japanese army to tie up all the people, and then slaughter them en masse, while killing them, let the son of the landlord who went to Japan to study loudly tell the Eighth Route Army, saying that this was all because of the resistance of the Chinese army, and all the sins were the Chinese army, He Long looked at the people who fell under the machine guns and bayonets, his eyes were red, but the Japanese army had tens of thousands of people, and it was not at all that the 120th Division, which had only 10,000 people, could face it head-on, He Long could only let the soldiers write down the hatred, Fight back with cold guns, cold cannons, and denser minefields.

But after all, these methods could only delay the speed of the Japanese attack, and four days later, the Japanese finally reached Yuci.

-- Taiyuan

"The devil has finally arrived, the 115th Division and the 129th Division have already retreated into the mountains, and we are also preparing to retreat." Zuo Quan said with a telegram.

Mr. Zhu touched the map and said, "I'm really reluctant, there are too many Chinese treasures in this Taiyuan City, and so many machines and equipment have to be abandoned, I'm really unwilling." ”

Zuo Quan nodded, not knowing what to say.

Mr. Zhu closed his eyes for a while and said, "Blow it up!" I'd rather blow it up than invest in the enemy, we will have these things sooner or later. ”

Mr. Zhu's order. The various factories in Taiyuan began to sabotage work, all the machinery and equipment were destroyed, because there were not so many explosives, only by hand, the workers dismantled the core parts of the machinery, or transported away. Either thrown into the Fen River, or smashed with a hammer, places like iron and steel factories and explosives factories were the focus of destruction, and a large amount of cement was even directly poured into the blast furnace, and the leadership of the Red Party learned from Jiang Cheng that a large part of the weapons and ammunition used by the Japanese army invading China originated from the northeast, so they made up their minds that the Japanese army must not be given the opportunity to increase its industrial strength again.

Kawagishi Fumizaburo easily entered Yuji. The imaginary bloody battle did not come, and for such a long time, the Japanese army had figured out that the opposite side was the legendary Red Army Eighth Route Army, and the occupation of the location of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army made Kawagishi Bunzaburo feel ridiculous about the fiasco of Honda Masachi, is this the Eighth Route Army that is said to be a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general? It's ridiculous, it's just a guerrilla force that relies on some intrigue and trickery, and the first division was actually defeated by such a force, and it seems that Manchukuo has indeed softened these imperial warriors.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo immediately ordered. If you don't do it, you don't stop it. The whole army entered Taiyuan City, and sure enough, it took the Taiyuan City Gate without a single shot, and the entire Taiyuan seemed to be empty, too, in the face of tens of thousands of imperial troops. What army in the whole world dares to defend a city to the death?

Suddenly an explosion came, and when he heard this voice, Kawagishi Bunzaburo didn't even need to ask to know that this was another damn mine.

"Yaga, Yaga. These cunning Chinese troops, don't they dare to compete with us head-on, and damn mines, don't they have anything else but these things? ”

At He Long's strong request, the 129th Division and the 115th Division evacuated through the mountain road first, and Mr. Zhu stood on the mountain and looked at Taiyuan City and said, "Let's start, let's take a look, the gossip array we arranged, the devil is not satisfied." ”

After Kawagishi Bunzaburo entered Taiyuan, he immediately divided his troops and attacked various factories and military and political offices, and bank warehouses, Kawagishi Bunzaburo rode a tall horse, looked at the empty Taiyuan City, and said with a smile, "The people of China only know how to escape, I want to know where they will go when we occupy the whole country?" ”

An officer stepped forward and said, "Maybe we will go to the South Seas, maybe we will go to the Soviet Union, but it doesn't matter, sooner or later these places will be our empire." ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo nodded approvingly, and then another explosion came, Kawagishi Bunzaburo frowned, but this was just the beginning, the next Taiyuan City was like a feast, explosions were heard one after another, and then, even the gunshots rang out. Kawagishi Bunzaburo looked into the distance suspiciously and said, "Go and find out immediately, what's going on in front of you?" ”

Soon a soldier reported back: "Report to Your Excellency, Division Commander, that we have encountered mines at various points, and that some troops have found broken troops on the other side of the Fen River. ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo touched his beard suspiciously, and said, "Why are there still people?" Didn't the Chinese army retreat entirely? ”

The Fen River, from which the Fenjiu of later generations came from, is an important tributary of the Yellow River and the main waterway of Taiyuan. He Long looked at the increasing Japanese troops on the opposite side of the river, and after the Japanese army found that the 120th Division was stationed on the west side of the Fen River, they immediately concluded that this was the Chinese army that had not finished retreating, and as long as they bit him, they could find the real main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo finally saw the enemy blocking his way, looking at the machine gun fortress on the opposite side that was constantly spitting out tongues of fire to block his troops, Kawagishi Bunzaburo nodded and said, "This should be the main force of the Shina army, immediately order the troops to assemble and collect the boats used to cross the river." ”

The staff officer next to him replied, "Your Excellency the division commander, we have already looked for it, and there are no boats to cross the river around, but because it is November and it is the dry season, the water in the river is not deep, and there is no urgency. It's just that it's too cold, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the soldiers to go directly. So I suggested cutting down the trees and making them into rafts. ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo took a telescope and looked at the slowly flowing river, drove a few horses into the water with orders, and saw that the horses really swam to the opposite bank by themselves, nodded and said, "Go and do it immediately, contact the aviation troops, and be sure to prevent the Shina Army from escaping." ”

He Long looked at the horse he led, and finally put that heart in his stomach and said, "This is a devil testing the depth of the water, it seems that the devil is about to attack." ”

Guan Xiangying said, "The devils and others will definitely use planes to stop us from retreating, and the mountain road is already narrow." It turned out that it was because our anti-aircraft fire on the outside line attracted Japanese planes, so they never found out, and when they found out, they pursued us. Our losses will be huge. ”

He Long rolled his eyes and said, "The devil has been cleaned up by Mr. Peng once, and he must not dare to attack us too low, let's just leave them some sweetness." ”

It was noon soon, and Kawagishi Bunzaburo was sitting in the former Second Theater Headquarters. On the table were several telegrams.

"Report, General Itagaki sent another telegram to remind us to be cautious." A staff officer came in and reported.

"Hmph, what does Seishiro Itagaki mean, in a day's time, from the military headquarters to General Terauchi to him, he kept sending me telegrams to make me pay attention to the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, I don't understand, what is terrible about the Eighth Route Army that only uses mines and cold guns." Kawagishi Bunzaburo threw the telegram to the ground. At this time, an explosion in the distance reminded everyone in the headquarters that they had not really occupied Taiyuan City, and the Japanese troops in the city would lose several or even dozens of lives every time they occupied a key department.

"How many casualties?" Bunzaburo Kawagishi, who listened to the sound of explosions one after another, asked.

"There have been more than 500 casualties, Your Excellency the division commander, do we think of some other way, if we continue like this, the losses are too great." A staff officer suggested.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo thought for a while and said, "There won't be so many mines in the Shina people that there are in every corner, go." Find out all the people of the Zhina, I don't believe that there is not even a single people in this Taiyuan city. Let these mines kill their own people. ”

Indeed, Taiyuan City is not really without people, China is the most land-loving country, no matter how the Red Party persuades, there are still people who are unwilling to leave their homes, they think wishfully. The Japanese came just to pay taxes, and it would not be any different, and they even fantasized that once the Japanese came, they could live the same life as the Japanese, after all, nominally. If you are a person under the jurisdiction of Japan, then you are not a Japanese? This is actually quite normal, just like there are many people in a certain place in later generations who have such similar thoughts.

But He Long has already suffered a loss, will he give the Japanese a second chance?

Looking at the safe zone surrounded by a group of blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, Kawagishi Bunzaburo never thought that these damn Shina troops would use such a method, and several cameras were already prepared. The innermost are the Chinese people who drag their families with their families, most of whom are old and weak.

"Please get out of here, this is our residential area, we don't care about the war between Japan and China, but please keep us safe, otherwise we will report to our consulate." A big-nosed foreigner said viciously to Kawagishi Bunzaburo.

As a powerful local warlord, Yan Xishan is actually very concerned by international forces, after all, everyone knows that supporting a warlord is the best and fastest way to meddle in China's internal affairs. Therefore, in fact, at this time in Taiyuan, although there are not many Europeans and Americans, but there are still hundreds of people, although the common people are reluctant to leave Taiyuan, but they are not stupid, knowing that with the protection of these big noses, they will be much safer, of course, these protections are not free, and the dozen boxes of penicillin lying in the basement indicate their price.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do?" The staff officer asked in a low voice.

"Attack!! Offensive!! Kawagishi Bunzaburo's voice seemed to be like a beast.

"Yes, prepare to attack!" The staff officer's eyes lit up, and he pulled out his command knife and prepared to break through.

"Attack the Fen River!" Kawagishi Bunzaburo glanced at the big nose viciously, and said as he walked, "These damn white pigs, I must slaughter you with my own hands, you wait for me!" ”

-- Fenhe

The Japanese army's firepower superiority finally appeared, a division of the Japanese army will generally have a field artillery wing, this wing has 36 75mm mountain guns and 12 75mm field guns, plus 16 mountain guns and nearly 100 mortars and infantry guns of four infantry wings, the firepower can often suppress the three armies of China, He Long also became the first general of the Eighth Route Army to really see the firepower of the Japanese army, only to see the Japanese army under an order, more than 200 guns of different calibers and sizes collectively fired, Suddenly the position of the Fenhe River was shattered.

"This is the true strength of the devil, we are too far behind. Fortunately, the troops were withdrawn in time. Well, the Japanese army is starting to move, it can begin. He Long sighed from the mountain as he looked at the mud and trees that were constantly being blown up on the riverbank position.

The Japanese soon discovered that there was no movement on the other side, and the commander of the 40th Brigade, Yoshio Kamitsuki, led them. Thousands of Japanese troops began to force their way across the Fen River. I only saw that the river was full of rafts and bent Japanese troops, and the Japanese artillery fire also began to extend to the rear, and at this time the Japanese planes were also ordered to arrive, and from the air you could see that there were a lot of people in the trenches on the river bank, as well as several artillery positions, and the Japanese planes knew that this unit had a lot of anti-aircraft firepower. Nor does it lower the altitude, but starts throwing bombs high.

"Yo Xi, this is the strength of our Imperial Japanese Army, are those white animals trembling now?" Kawagishi Bunzaburo laughed maniacally, as if he had seen the proud Caucasian people kneeling on the ground in submission.

About ten miles away from Taiyuan City, there is a place called Daliu Village, at this time Wang Zhen is carefully looking at the sky, for fear that a plane will fly in the sky to find this place, and he is not far from the Fen River. At this time, the Fen River was firmly restrained by him and his soldiers with mud and sandbags, only to see that behind the dam more than ten meters high was more and more full of water, suddenly, a soldier ran and said, "The division commander's order is here, let the outside immediately blow up the dam." ”

Wang Zhen snatched the telegram and shouted, "Bomb!" After speaking, he said to an old man in a robe and horse coat next to him, "Mr. Yang, our mission is complete, we are leaving here." The devils will definitely find this place, and you'd better get the villagers out of the village and hide. ”

The old man surnamed Yang said hehehe: "You can see the flooding of the ancient times and the Seventh Army re-staged. It's really a great joy in life, you know, Guan Gong is our Shanxi people, although General Wang is gone, the devil is here, and there is nothing else in our village. There are still some hard bones, and they will never be slaves of the country. ”

Wang Zhen saw that he could not be persuaded to do so, so he could only leave a few soldiers just in case, so he retreated with his troops, and these soldiers quickly became tinder. By the time Wang Zhen returned to the village again, these soldiers had already pulled out a platoon of militia and killed many traitors.

With a loud bang, the Fenhe River that was suppressed by Wang Zhen for seven days finally released itself, indeed, the Fenhe River is the dry season in November, but it does not mean that it cannot be attacked with water, the Fenhe River has flooded more than 30 times in the hundred years before and after liberation, this is not a tame girl, but a violent woman, at this time, with the anger of this land, madly rushed downstream, and everything along the way was destroyed by her.

Those who have read the map of Shanxi know that the Fen River is narrow in the upper reaches and the water is urgent, and when it reaches Taiyuan, it will suddenly slow down, which is also caused by the mountainous geography of Shanxi.

At this time, Kawagishi Bunzaburo saw that the imperial military flag was successfully planted on the position of China, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was too easy, and suddenly heard a sound like thunder, and like a galloping horse, Kawagishi Bunzaburo stretched his neck to look at the location of the sound, and suddenly saw the plane in the sky kept turning in circles, shaking its wings, as if he wanted to say something, of course he didn't know the terrifying scene seen by the aviation in the air at this time, only to see a silver dragon flying quickly south, Everything along the way was destroyed, and it seemed that the Japanese army was about to seize the beach.

"What's going on?" Kawagishi Bunzaburo stood up suspiciously, at this time, he heard the neat inhalation sound around him, he looked at it, and immediately took a breath of cool air, only to see countless water as if flying from the sky, and instantly rushed to his troops, he himself in order to command on the tall building, there is no danger, but at this time there are still a large number of Japanese troops gathered by the river to prepare to cross the river, or in the middle of crossing the river, the Japanese army who saw the river ran frantically to the high ground, and what guns and ammunition were thrown everywhere.

"Amagasu!" "Help, Mom!" All kinds of shouts seemed to tear through the sky.

The shouting could not stop the arrival of the river, Kawagishi Bunzaburo watched the river brush away his troops like a brush, the water came and went quickly, and soon the river slowly stabilized, but the river could no longer see the Japanese army just now, only some clothes or wooden floating objects.

"Quick, go and save people." Kawagishi Fumizaburo collapsed on the ground and shouted frantically, while the foreign reporters watching the battle from another high-rise building were stunned to film this scene, they could never have imagined that in a modern era like 1937, there would be a water attack in the classical method of warfare.

"Hmph, the devil is going to be busy for a while, inform He Long, let's withdraw." Mr. Zhu and others, who had been watching the battle on the mountain, left the city with a smile, and the descendants had a poem saying: "The sound of the sunset expedition shook the sky, and the dragon city was flat as an abyss." Guan Gong's clever trick was deduced, and the river swallowed millions of soldiers. (To be continued......)
