The shelling controlled by Tie Haichuan himself continued, and in less than ten minutes, six members of the special forces had already died under the shells he fired, and even the commander-in-chief Kimura Jiwu was cut by shrapnel on the right cheek, and blood trickled out of the wound like a stream.

Kimura ordered the 1st and 2nd battle teams to resist the attack of the opposite 8th road, and the rest of the battle teams gathered their troops around the cliff and assembled as fast as they could through the rope down the mountain. After receiving the order, Sato Shaosa immediately organized firepower to counterattack, and Tie Haichuan and others, who were in charge of bombing, had to enter the trench for temporary concealment.

I have to admit that the combat quality of this group of devils is indeed very high, and their superb marksmanship has reached the point of perfection. If it weren't for the fact that this group of devils was blown up by the shells of the Eighth Route Army, according to their shooting level, if they were willing to calm down and give full play to their advantages as they did at the beginning, and use the * in their hands to carry out point shooting, it is very likely that they would sweep the Eighth Route in the trench, including Tie Haichuan and Yang Longfei.

Yang Longfei hunched his waist and curled up in the pit and laughed at himself: "Damn, in the past, Lao Tzu blocked others in the fortifications and couldn't show them, but now the way of the world has really changed, and feng shui takes turns." Don't even say it, it's not nice to be pressed in the pit here like yam eggs......

Tie Haichuan humorously proposed: "Why don't you find a translator who understands Japanese and shout to the other side and talk to them about peace......

Yang Longfei scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, also Japanese translation?" There are more than 1,000 people in our regiment, and even if the family tree is turned up, there may not be anyone who understands Japanese. Alas, you kid has stayed in the ocean, can you speak Japanese? ”

Tie Haichuan shook his head and smiled: "No, I learned a few words of German abroad, and they are all occasional dialects, the Japanese don't eat this set, if it is used on the battlefield in Czechoslovakia, it may be useful...... Alas, according to the information provided by my intelligence department, your regiment was less than 700 people before the Ono brigade, and after the war, it was reduced to nearly 200 people, where did you get more than 1,000 fighters? ”

Yang Longfei said disdainfully: "Nonsense, is it possible that we are only allowed to reduce the number of members of the regiment and not allow us to expand?" To tell you the truth, since the defeat and eating the Ono brigade, Lao Tzu's equipment has been turned over and new. Damn, it's all Japanese 38 big covers, 92 style, crooked handles, grenadiers, mortars...... In the blink of an eye, Lao Tzu compared all the other regiments in our brigade! Don't say it, this gun is really a good thing, it's like a backbone, the guy is naturally hard, as long as the reputation spreads, the soldiers will come in batches. ”

"Then I have to consider the matter of aiding your regiment, you have just captured a brigade of Japanese weapons and equipment and expanded by nearly two battalions, if you replace it with the German firearms I reinforced you, you must not expand two regiments?" Tie Haichuan said deliberately.

Yang Longfei immediately played a scoundrel: "Then don't worry about it, if you regret what you promised, is it still a gentleman?" You are also the commander of a regular army, and what you say is like water spilled, how can there be any reason to take it back? I can talk about the ugly things in front of you, if you go back on your word and don't admit it, Lao Tzu will have to go around ruining your boy's reputation. Anyway, Lao Tzu is already like this, and I'm not afraid of others saying strange things, as long as you don't care......"

Tie Haichuan sighed helplessly and said, "Isn't this a mess?" Brother Long Fei, with all due respect, brother, you weren't like this before. Why do you learn to rob while the fire is burning now? Could it be that living in a different environment can really change a person's personality? It is necessary for me to remind you that whether or not your armed forces have the right to expand their strength is subject to the approval of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of Military Affairs. The establishment of more than 40,000 troops in the three divisions, six brigades, and twelve regiments under the jurisdiction of the 18th Group Army is written in black and white on the troop establishment table of the national army. If there is an extra team of hundreds or thousands of people in the future, there will be an extra establishment of tens of thousands of people for no reason, and the peak will blame it, and your Eighth Route Army headquarters will be in trouble. This is not alarmist, throughout the ages, without the permission of the central power, the fact that the vassal generals outside dare to recruit troops without permission is equivalent to rebellion! Are there still few such historical lessons? ”

"You kid doesn't speak with conscience, and you're still alarmist? Lao Tzu is not frightened. You said it yourself, is Lao Tzu's expansion wrong? Before the Battle of Nanjing, Lao Tzu was a reinforced regiment with more than 3,000 people, all of whom were armed with German firearms, mountain artillery, and guns, and even American-style bazookas! But what's going on now? Also * cannon? Fart! There were only a few grenadiers and mortars that could be counted on your fingers, and the captured shells were not enough to be used once! That's it, it was captured by Lao Tzu's men who sacrificed nearly a platoon of soldiers! Let's not talk about guns and ammunition for the time being, Lao Tzu has reduced the number of troops by four-fifths since the end of the Nanjing Campaign, and the veterans who can fight are basically gone. Yang Longfei complained with a displeased face.

The atmosphere seemed a little stiff for a moment, and at the same time the gunfire on the opposite side had died down. Shi Chahai reminded: "Commander, the devil is not moving, will he slip away?" ”

"Let's go, go up and have a look!" Yang Longfei waved his hand, and his tone was slightly softened, and he took the lead in jumping out of the fortification.

Everyone ran to the edge of the cliff only to find that there were only four thick and long climbing ropes hanging from the cliffs, and the so-called Japanese commandos had long disappeared without a trace.

In the battle, the independent regiment lost 29 people and seriously wounded 7 people. The Kimura Secret Service Department has also lost eight people killed in the battle, and two people have been seriously wounded and withdrawn from the battle, but their retreat direction this time is not Moyunling, but the headquarters of the First Army stationed in Taiyuan.

Tie Haichuan learned from a line of English wedged at the end of the rope that this climbing rope was produced in a rope factory called "Carothers" in the United States. From the perspective of texture, it should belong to nylon material, which has strong flexibility, is not easy to wear, and also prevents static electricity.

This made Yang Longfei feel crying and laughing, and he said in his heart:, these devils are getting more and more evil, not to mention that the guns equipped are imported, and even these broken ropes are made in the United States? Yang Longfei, who had seen some of the world, suddenly felt as if he had been silent in the most primitive village for many years, and only when he left the village did he find out, hey! Why do you all have flat hair and short hair? What about the braids of our Qing Dynasty? Alas, no, where is our Emperor Kangxi?

Tie Haichuan said in a big way: "That's it, Brother Long Fei, I'll take one of this rope and entrust a few friends who work in my military technology room to help check it." After this battle, I am interested in this small Japanese army, and I must find out the ins and outs of this group of devils! ”

Yang Longfei also looked very generous: "No problem, as long as you can find out the origin of this group of devils, let alone a rope, you can open your mouth if you need anything, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely do it!" When you have news, you must notify me as soon as possible, damn, I have to pick the skin of these dogs! ”

Tie Haichuan patted the dust that didn't exist on his body and got up to say goodbye: "Okay, Brother Long Fei, Tie is going to leave......

Yang Longfei also stood up: "What? Leaving now? Why do you have to stay for two or three days when you come to me? ”

"Another day, you and my brother are less than 200 miles apart, and we are still worried about seeing each other? To tell the truth, my troops have just been stationed in Pingyao, and the morale of the army and the people has not yet stabilized, and my adjutant chief of staff will have to wait for me to return to preside over the overall situation. The next time we get together, I will go to my brother, and I, Tie Haichuan, will set up a banquet in Pingyao to wait for Brother Long Fei. Don't leave it at that, there will be a date later! Tie Haichuan clasped his fists and saluted.

"No problem, I'll definitely go then. Go all the way, I won't be far away......" Yang Longfei also hugged his fists.

……

The time entered August 1940, and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had been fought for three years, and the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province had also turned from the initial defensive stage to the stalemate stage against the Japanese army in North China. Since last winter, Tada, commander of the Japanese Front in North China, has single-handedly concocted the famous "cage policy," that is, a series of military operations centered on "railways as pillars, highways as chains, and pillboxes as locks." Not only Shanxi, but also the entire North China region has launched an unprecedented large-scale clean-up and sweeping campaign.

From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the Kuomintang launched a second ** in North China, during which the Shanxi Jin Sui Army and the Central Army each began to launch local attacks on the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi New Army in the central Shanxi area. Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the Japanese First Army stationed in Jinzhong, seized the opportunity to mobilize troops to encircle and annihilate the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the 129th Division under its jurisdiction, in a vain attempt to take this opportunity to eat the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the area of Jinzhong.

During this period, the three forces of the enemy and the enemy all coincidentally set their eyes on the same piece of fat, the material transfer hub line from Shanxi to Hebei ——— Zhengtai Railway. Around this railway line, the three forces also have their own calculations and make their own articles. The Nationalist Army in Shanxi and the Japanese Army in North China took advantage of the convenience provided by the Zhengtai Line to transport supplies and soldiers, while the Eighth Route Army disrupted the enemy's communications by removing steel rails, sleepers, and road spikes, and took the spoils of war to the logistics department and arsenal to be transformed into guns and ammunition.

Since August 20 this year, the famous large-scale offensive and counter-sweeping campaign launched by our army against the Japanese army in North China during the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which was personally commanded by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, began. The battle lasted until January 24 of the following year, and the fighting lasted for five months.

According to statistics, in the first three months after the start of the campaign alone, the units under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army fought as many as 1,824 large and small battles. At the same time, the blocking units of the Eighth Route Army also reported the results of the battle to the headquarters as soon as possible. After verification and confirmation, Peng Dehuai, the top commander of the battle and deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, couldn't help but gasp: My God, a whole hundred and five regiments! How many years has the War of Resistance been fought? It has actually increased from more than 40,000 people at the beginning of the division to 400,000 now! In just three years, the army has expanded tenfold! Even if the crops in the field increase their income, they won't have such a high yield, right? Mr. Peng, who has always been known for his serious reorganization of the army, was also happy at this time, and for him, it was not easy for the Eighth Route Army to expand from 40,000 to 400,000 in just three years. As soon as the boss was happy, he immediately clapped the decision and said that no matter how many regiments he had, he would call it a hundred regiment battle!

Less than two months after the battle began, Yang Longfei set his sights on the Japanese stronghold in Yuxian. Since the end of 1939, when the regimental headquarters withdrew from the area of the General Temple to Miaozhuang, the Japanese troops stationed in Yuxian County swept through the countryside twice in three days, making the independent regiment unable to survive in peace for nearly a year. Yang Longfei gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, damn, you deserve the bad luck of your dogs, you have bullied Lao Tzu for nearly a year, and you should have some blood! There is just such an opportunity, I didn't say it, beat him up as a bitch!

The night before the battle plan was drawn up, Yang Longfei sent three messengers from the regiment headquarters to the three battalions' stations to report that all units must assemble in Miaozhuang by 12 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and that the troops should be under unified command and assigned combat tasks.

It was not until the next day that all three battalions were rebuilt, and Yang Longfei was pleasantly surprised to find that the whole regiment had expanded from cadres to soldiers, and there were more than 4,000 people. In particular, the first battalion, which has only been in the past two years, has actually expanded from more than 300 people before the division of troops to nearly 2,000 people today. Yang Longfei was so happy that his mouth was almost closed, and he punched the first battalion commander Xie Dacheng in the chest: "Okay, you can be the regiment commander for a dog......"

Xie Dacheng looked very useful, but still pretended to be modest and said, "What's the line?" If you don't get promoted, our battalion will be expanded to 10,000 people, so I will still be a battalion commander. ”

Qian Liyuan, the commander of the second battalion, and Cao Guang, the commander of the third battalion, stood aside and looked coldly at Xie Dacheng's boasting, and they all sneered. Qian Liyuan said provocatively with a thorn in his words: "You can't say that, right? Dacheng. As the old saying goes, 'there are not many soldiers, but they are fine,' and the purpose of our independent regiment has always been to pay attention to 'rather lack than excess'. I heard that when you kid fought the Miyano team two months ago, he took a lot of puppet soldiers with him, so you won't recruit them into the team of our independent regiment, right? Brother, don't you don't like to listen to me, it's useless for you to co-opt them into that messy team, to put it bluntly, it's a group of grandchildren who eat and wait for death, and they do some things that bully men and women, chickens and dogs on weekdays, and when they hear the gunshots, they are worried about slipping away. Alas, Dacheng, this is really going to be a war, I really sweat for your battalion......"

Cao Guang, the commander of the third battalion, also took the opportunity to echo: "That's it, Dacheng, this grinding mouth is not as good as fighting, it is a real knife and a real gun step by step!" What's the use of you saying you're co-opting those puppet armies? Don't wait until the battle starts, and your battalion will be crippled as soon as it starts. But don't worry, we are all old comrades-in-arms, as long as you are willing to seriously confess your mistakes to the organization, we will forgive you, and the regiment commander will also forgive you. ”

Xie Dacheng sneered and sneered: "Are you embarrassed to say that I practice my mouth in front of the regiment leader?" You're not bad! Here you can sing and wear a pair of pants. Old Qian, don't blame me for you, you kid is too good-looking, and you can't see others. To tell you the truth, Lao Tzu does not have a puppet army background in the whole camp, and everyone is rooted in the red! You don't look down on a third-rate team like the puppet army, so you pour dirty water on me, Xie Dacheng? Tell you, if you really want to co-opt the puppet army, I'm still disgusting! I don't think let's talk nonsense, let the regiment commander send a mission, whether it's a hero or a bear, let's pull the team up and do a fight! ”

Yang Longfei didn't wait for Qian Liyuan and Cao Guang to fight back, so he stopped him sharply: "Okay, shut up Lao Tzu!" One by one, they are like fucking donkeys barking troughs, what are they yelling about? Look at you all like bears, and when you are an upstart, you will be like this? Do you know what it's called? The typical poor get rich...... Get back to business, come over to Lao Tzu! Yang Longfei led the three of them to a table with a map on it, and said, "Lao Tzu asked you to gather all the teams in Miaozhuang this time, but I didn't let you come to see the Western scenery. Recently, someone has been smearing lard on Lao Tzu's body, so I'm not in a good mood, and I'm going to take a few dog mongrel sacrificial knives that don't have long eyes, just to go to bad luck......"

The second battalion commander Qian Liyuan raised his eyebrows and said first: "Regiment commander, don't say it yet, let me guess...... Are you fighting the idea of the devils stationed in Yuxian County? ”

Yang Longfei smiled: "You kid quite understands Lao Tzu's thoughts, what's the matter?" Do you dare to fight him? ”

Qian Liyuan said with disdain: "Regiment commander, I will speak straight and you will be more responsible, if you want me to say that your appetite is too small, do you still need to transfer all three battalions to beat him up as a little devil in Yuxian County?" Isn't that too much of a little devil face? If you want me to say, since we want to do it, let's just give him a big job! What do you think of Pingyang County? I've heard that the devils there are so rich that they don't have more than a squadron to defend the city. The soldiers of our second battalion are short of oil and water in their stomachs, if you fight Pingyang County, our battalion will be the first echelon, and you will cut off my head if you can't beat it! ”

Yang Longfei shouted: "If you don't come to this set, we don't have the strength to fight Pingyang County yet!" Our regiment is said to be more than 4,000 people, but less than one-third of the soldiers really have combat experience, and we do not have heavy weapons to attack the city. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you want to fight Pingyang County, you have to wrap up the three layers inside and three layers outside this bone! In case the nearby devil reinforcements come to reinforce it, it is still a question whether we can stop it. I estimate that if the war really starts, the number of troops deployed on the periphery to block and send reinforcements will not be less than 10,000. When Lao Tzu becomes a brigade commander and division commander, it will not be too late to think about this...... Now listen to me! According to intelligence, in order to prevent the stronghold from being attacked, the devils have filled in all the trees, soil slopes, and depressions within a radius of 500 meters, so as to avoid the hidden danger of blind spots for their machine guns. I'm going to let the sappers go up first and start the earthwork ahead of schedule. Considering the possibility of being discovered by the devils during the mission, I plan to have the sapper platoon touch it in the second half of the night when the devils' defense is the most lax, and it is expected that it will take three hours to complete the construction of the ring fortification before dawn. The distance doesn't need to be too close, just within 200 meters of the devil's stronghold. ”

Xie Dacheng thought about it: "Leader, I have dealt with the devils in Yuxian. As far as I know, the devils in this stronghold do not belong to the Japanese combat troops, to be precise, this is a group of Japanese military police, which belongs to the Japanese military police stationed in Yangquan, and it is a second-rate devil unit in terms of combat effectiveness. But there was one thing, their defensive positions were well built. I saw that in addition to ring fortifications, hideouts and foxholes, the devils also built several fire support points and chain bunker groups. I heard that the broken bricks and tiles used to build the bunker at that time were mixed with several tons of broken steel, not to mention *, * it was useless to blast over. If you really get involved with the devils in the Yuxian stronghold, these firepower points are really a bit troublesome......"

Cao Guang, the commander of the third battalion, immediately patted his chest and said, "Regiment commander, I think this main attack task will be handed over to our third battalion." You don't know, in the past two years, we have produced quite a few grenadiers, and all of them have been born. I know that there is no other way to deal with the devil bunker, so I can only try to smash them into the machine gun hole with *, and leave this matter to our third battalion. You can rest assured, guaranteed to give you a good shot! ”
