Chapter 126: Wishing you prosperity
Near Cangyunling, the 358th regiment headquarters of the Jin Sui Army.
In the past two days, the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area has made frequent moves, stirring up restlessness along the Zhengtai Road heavily guarded by the Japanese puppet army, which has attracted the attention of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
At this time, Chu Yunfei and Chief of Staff Fang Ligong were talking in front of the big sand table.
Fang Ligong said: "Tuanzao, the Eighth Route Army has made great moves in the past two days, and it is said that it has taken more than 100 strongholds along Zhengtai Road, and I don't know if it's true or not?" ”
"What do you say, more than a hundred strongholds?"
Chu Yunfei was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "And it was overnight? ”
Fang Ligong said: "At least the Communist Party's Zhonghua News Agency broadcasts are of this caliber, and it is difficult to say whether it is true or not, but with the consistent style of the Communist Party, this matter is nine times out of ten true." ”
Chu Yunfei's eyes narrowed slightly and said: "Pulling out more than a hundred strongholds overnight, even if it is only a small stronghold garrisoned by a hundred and ten devil puppet troops, you have to use at least one battalion of troops." ”
Speaking of this, he said: "This means that the Eighth Route Army along Zhengtai Road alone has at least more than 100 battalions and more than 30 regiments? The speed at which the Communist Party pulls the ranks is truly terrifying. ”
Fang Ligong smiled and said: "The Communist Party is used to fooling ordinary people through political propaganda, so the team has been able to expand so quickly, but although the number of people has gone up, it is impossible for weapons and equipment to keep up so quickly, so the Eighth Route Army will not have any combat effectiveness, and a group of mud legs who can't make it to the climate are not worried." ”
"That's not right." Chu Yunfei shook his head and said, "Brother Meritorious Service, do you remember the last time in Cangyunling, the unit that defeated the Japanese Sakata Wing from the front?" ”
"Of course I do." Fang Ligong nodded and said, "That should be the main force of the 129th Division, if nothing else, it should be Chen Gen's 386 Brigade, at least two regiments." ”
"Brother Meritorious Service, you are wrong." Chu Yunfei muttered, "I have already inquired about this matter clearly, the Eighth Route Army in the Battle of Cangyunling only has one regiment, and it is also a miscellaneous regiment without a number!" ”
"A regiment?" Fang Ligong said in surprise, "And you don't have a number?" ”
Chu Yunfei said: "To be exact, there is no number of them on the establishment table of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but they still have a number internally, as if they are called a new group." ”
"The leader of the new regiment is named Li Yunlong."
"But this man has been transferred to another regiment."
"That's also a miscellaneous group without a number, what is it called an independent group."
"This person's military command ability is really extraordinary, I Chu Yunfei really want to meet him when I have time."
Fang Ligong said: "This means that this is a new regiment that was expanded after the 129th Division arrived in Shanxi?" ”
Chu Yunfei said: "A newly formed regiment has such combat effectiveness, it can be seen that the Eighth Route Army is not only capable of pulling the team, but also the improvement of combat effectiveness is also very fast, and he will become a big trouble for the party and the state one day!" ”
Fang Ligong's expression was also condensed when he heard this, but then he said: "Tuanzao, but now the headache should be the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army is moving so big now, the Japanese army in Shanxi will definitely pay attention to it, and in the future, maybe the main target of attack will be shifted from our Jinsui Army to the Eighth Route Army, so that we can take a breath." ”
As he spoke, the roar of an airplane engine suddenly sounded outside.
When the two of them walked out of the war room and looked up, they saw at least 30 planes whizzing through the sky in the southwest direction.
Fang Ligong lost his voice and said: "So many planes? ”
Chu Yunfei said awe-inspiringly: "It should be that something big has happened." ”
Fang Ligong said: "Looking at this direction, it seems to be going to Yangquan?" ”
"Could it be that the Eighth Route Army is besieging Yangquan County?" After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he subconsciously shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, the Eighth Route Army shouldn't have the strength to fight the county seat." ”
Fang Ligong said: "If it is really any big move by the Eighth Route Army, their Chinese Society will definitely take the opportunity to hype it up, so you might as well listen to their next propaganda first." ”
Chu Yunfei said: "Let's wait and see." ”
……
Yangquan County.
"Not good!" Wang Ye's face changed greatly, and he opened his throat and shouted, "Devil bomber! Quick, scatter the carts into a nearby alley and hide, quick! ”
"Listen to Xiao Wang!"
Zhao Gang also shouted: "Scatter the cart into the alley!" ”
"Monk!" Wang Ye said again, "Protect the political commissar and go into the alley!" ”
"Yes!" Wei Dayong hurriedly escorted Zhao Gang to run into the alley.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were loading supplies, also scrambled to drive the mule and horse carts into the nearby alleys, but the group of devils' bombers came too quickly.
Before the mule and horse carts on the street dispersed, a group of black-pressed planes appeared over Yangquan.
"Holy!" Wang Ye glanced up, and couldn't help cursing, this was too ruthless.
This wave of devil bombers and fighters came to bomb, to say the least, there were thirty of them!
This is almost two aviation squadrons, and the 9th Flying Team of the Japanese Army stationed at Taiyuan Wusu Airport is only afraid that it will be dispatched this time, right? It's really enough to look up to them.
But if he were Yoshio Shinozuka, he would definitely do the same.
This is done on the one hand to save face, this time by the Eighth Route Army annihilated a brigade headquarters, the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi can really be said to have lost face, if he can't save a little face, he Shinozuka Yoshio will become a laughing stock in the army.
On the other hand, it is necessary to destroy as much as possible the weapons and supplies left by the 4th Brigade in Yangquan.
Including the 94-type armored train of the 11th armored train team, and the equipment of the 4th brigade, if it is captured by the Eighth Route Army intact, then the equipment level of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will be able to rise to a great level, and the combat effectiveness will also usher in explosive growth, which is by no means a good thing for the 1st Army.
In the future, the 386 Brigade may well become a super-strong enemy of the 1st Army!
It is precisely because of this that Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the 9th Flying Sentai stationed in Taiyuan to go out to bomb.
It's just that relying on the bombing of the aviation forces alone to destroy the benefits that the 386 Brigade has already eaten in its stomach is too wishful thinking, and the aviation forces are not so godly.
At least the aviation of small Japan was not so powerful.
The ceiling of aviation is still the US Air Force at the end of World War II, and a large piece of aerial bomb can turn a city to ashes in an instant, and even flatten a mountain!
The napalm was thrown down, and it burned tens of thousands of square meters!
However, at this time, the Japanese air force was far behind the US Air Force at the end of World War II in terms of the lethality of aerial bombs, the number of aircraft sorties, and the density of bombs.
And the Eighth Route Army has been bombed for so long,
Rich anti-bombing experience has long been summed up.
To put it bluntly, as long as you don't panic and don't go in the open field, the bombing is actually not as terrible as you imagined.
A moment later, more than a dozen slightly larger Type 96 land bombers began to lower their flight altitude, and the devil pilots even dared to reduce the bomber's flight altitude to less than 100 meters, even because the Chinese did not have much air defense power.
More than a dozen smaller Nakajima 97 fighters also launched dives towards the intended target.
The first target of the Devil Air Force was very clear, it was the 4th Brigade Headquarters in Yangquan, or more precisely, the quartermaster warehouse of the 4th Brigade Headquarters.
The first row of bombs fell quickly, and it was Brimstone bombs.
Brimstone bombs are also a type of incendiary bombs, although not as terrible as later napalms, but they are still capable of arson.
The warehouses of the 4th brigade headquarters soon burst into flames.
Immediately afterwards, the two wing headquarters were also bombed, and a sky-high fire was ignited.
Ten minutes later, more than a dozen Type 96 land attack planes finished dropping their bombs and returned to Wusu Airport.
The remaining dozen or so Nakajima 97 fighters launched a dive strafing attack on the transport units of the Eighth Route Army that had dispersed into the alleys and hidden.
Thankfully, the alleys are rarely straight.
Therefore, the dive strafing of the devil fighters is often blocked by the construction of houses.
The devil fighter raged for half an hour before finally pulling up and returning home.
In the process, Wang Ye did not try to snipe the fighter with a rifle.
It's not that he couldn't hit, in fact, when the devil fighter repeatedly dived just now, Wang Ye had a chance to snipe the pilot, but he didn't want to take this risk.
Because if you want to snipe a fighter, you have to face the dive direction of the fighter.
This is a gamble, even if he kills the devil pilot, he will most likely be beaten into a sieve by the airborne heavy machine gun, Wang Ye doesn't want to exchange his life for a mere fighter.
He's worth more than just a fighter.
The devil fighter is finally gone, leaving behind a mess.
There were still many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were hit by machine guns, wounded or even killed.
The fire in the warehouse also gradually spread, and began to spread to the surrounding houses.
"The wounded, rescue the wounded first!" Zhao Gang rushed out of the small alley for the first time to command, "If you are not injured, hurry up and find tools to fetch water to put out the fire!" ”
"Commissar, the fire doesn't need to be extinguished."
Wang Ye said: "The fire is no longer under control, and we don't have the tools to fight the fire. ”
Zhao Gang sighed when he heard this.
Zhao Gang is undoubtedly a noble person.
He really has the common people in his heart.
Therefore we cannot see the loss of the people's property.
But there is an iron law of war, and if you should lose, you must lose, and if you should sacrifice, you must sacrifice.
From the moment the devil set foot on the land of China, all compatriots have lost their right to choose.
Li Yunlong finally ran out of the ruins of the 4th Brigade Headquarters, thanks to the fact that the devils bombed the warehouses just now, and if the bombardment was the ruins of the 4th Brigade Headquarters, the Independent Regiment might have to change its commander.
"Lao Li, where did you go just now?" Zhao Gang didn't have a good airway.
"Isn't this a search for remnants? As a result, I met Lao Ding and a few of them, so I chatted a few words. ”
Li Yunqi spoke in a brisk tone, and it seemed that he had a good conversation with Cheng Shifa, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and he should have reached a compromise acceptable to both parties.
I don't know how much concessions the independent regiment made?
After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong said to the surroundings again: "Hold on, Taiyuan Wusu Airport is not far from here, the little devil's bomber will be back soon, and there is not much time left for us." ”
While speaking, Li Yunlong helped lift an overturned cart again.
A cardboard box fell from the car, and two boxes of Western medicine were poured out.
The box is full of foreign words, and it is an anti-inflammatory drug.
"Monk!" Wang Ye put the two boxes of Bailang Multi-Interest Needles back into the carton, and then handed a whole box of Bailang Multi-Interest to Wei Dayong, who hurriedly ran over.
Wei Dayong took the cardboard box and asked, "Captain, what is this?" ”
"Hundred waves and more breath needles!" Wang Ye said, "Xiaoyue's life-saving needle!" ”
"Really?" Wei Dayong was overjoyed when he heard this, picked up the box and ran.
"Xiao Wang, what's wrong with Xiao Yue?" Li Yunlong walked over and asked.
Wang Ye said: "The armored train was also bombed, and an aerial bomb fell directly on the locomotive, the locomotive was blown up, and Xiaoyue was also seriously injured and was sent to the headquarters hospital for surgery." ”
"What?" Li Yunlong's face suddenly changed greatly.
He asked again, "What about the other members of the Wolf Warrior Squad?" ”
"And what about the people of the artillery battery? Nothing, right? ”
Li Yunlong's first reaction was the safety of the personnel, although he cared very much about the four guns, in order to keep these four guns, he even did not hesitate to make concessions on the proportion of other trophies, but no matter how important these four guns were, no one mattered, because if the weapons and equipment were gone, they could be done again, and if the people were gone, they would really be gone.
"Nothing else is going on." Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Just Xiaoyue." ”
"This girl must be fine." Li Yunlong said again, "What about the 4 cannons?" ”
"The cannons are all there." Wang Ye said, "The pillar with the people of the artillery company is being dismantled." ”
Li Yunlong sighed lightly, looked around and shouted: "Hurry up, you must evacuate Yangquan before noon!" ”
After saying that, Li Yunlong himself also took Xiao Zhang into the queue to carry the materials, the number of people was strong, and more than 6,000 commanders and fighters of the four regiments quickly emptied the warehouses of the 4th Brigade Headquarters and the two wing headquarters of the devil as if they were moving to the army, and a total of more than 200 mules and horses were loaded and transported to the base area.
The men and horses of the four regiments also evacuated Yangquan County one by one.
Li Yunlong and Wang Ye were the last to evacuate.
……
It is more than 60 kilometers from Yangquan County to Baijia Village.
The Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the 772nd Regiment walked for a day and night because they carried a large amount of supplies, and did not arrive until noon the next day.
This still mobilized a large number of people to help with transportation.
Otherwise, with more than 6,000 commanders and fighters of the four regiments of the 386 Brigade alone, they would not be able to bring back so many supplies in two days and nights.
However, it should be noted that most of the materials brought back were steel rails removed from railways, as well as steel plates removed from armored trains and tank armored vehicles.
There is an arsenal in the Taihang base area.
The steel can be of great use when it is transported back to the base area.
At this time, the seizures of Niangziguan, Yanzigou and Sangzhang's strongholds had already arrived.
Only the two 105mm cannons and two 75mm anti-aircraft guns removed from the armored train were so bulky that they were still halfway up to now.
Li Yunlong and the wolf warrior team finally returned to Baijia Village.
As a result, as soon as he walked into the village, Li Yunlong was directly dumbfounded.
What's the situation, why were all the seizures sent to Baijia Village, where the brigade headquarters is located?
The headquarters of the 386th Brigade was temporarily stationed in the ancestral hall of Baijia Village, and there was an open space in front of the ancestral hall, which was usually used as a threshing field, but it was already full of weapons and equipment.
There are also several reporters who are taking pictures with their cameras.
In front of these reporters, piles of 38 big covers and Liao 13 rifles were put together and piled up into sharp piles, which can really be described as a mountain.
In front of the rifle are rows of light machine guns, including the Taisho 11th year, the imitation Czech type, and more the 96 type, that is, there are many light machine guns that lack this or that.
Just a rough count, there are at least a hundred.
More than 100 machine guns were arranged in three rows in front and rear, and the scene was still very spectacular.
Still, the reporters preferred to point their cameras at the heavy machine guns in front of them.
In front of the light machine gun is the Type 92 heavy machine gun, some of the heavy machine guns have intact brackets, but more heavy machine guns do not have brackets, and they are directly resting on bricks, as if they have broken legs.
Needless to say, these heavy machine guns were disassembled from tanks and armored trains.
More than 40 Type 92 heavy machine guns were laid out, and the scene was still very shocking.
However, what made Li Yunlong dumbfounded was not the more than 40 Type 92 heavy machine guns, but the grenadiers, infantry guns, and 37mm rapid-fire guns placed in front of the Type 92 heavy machine guns.
Grenadier canisters and 70mm caliber infantry guns are also counted,
How could there be 12 rapid-fire guns of 37mm caliber here?
2 gates were seized at Niangziguan, 6 gates were seized in Yangquan County, and there were only 8 gates.
Wang Ye said: "Needless to say, it must be the private collection of the Niangziguan stronghold that was discovered by the brigade commander." ”
"Captain!" Xu Yougeng, who stayed in Niangziguan to clean up the battlefield, stepped forward and said with a bitter face, "Brigade commander, he ......."
"Yougeng, I know, I don't blame you for this." Li Yunlong also knew that Xu Yougeng was not to blame for this, how could his small company commander stop a big brigade commander?
"The regiment commander, the brigade commander and the regiment commander Ding, they are here."
Wang Ye said: "You still have to think about how to explain it to them." ”
"Explain?" Li Yunlong's duck was stiff, "I have to explain to them?" ”
While speaking, the brigade commander had already walked to them with Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Cheng Shifa.
Kong Jie's faces were ugly, as if Li Yunlong owed them five million.
The brigade commander smiled and said with a smile: "Li Yunlong, I want to congratulate you again on making a fortune." ”
"Harm, what kind of wealth." Li Yunlong said embarrassedly and politely, "If you really want to say congratulations, this time you have to congratulate the brigade commander for making a fortune, haven't all the seizures been handed over to the brigade headquarters?" ”
"Li Yunlong, don't wronged people, you kid." The brigade commander laughed.
"Lao Tzu robbed you before, and that was to support the new second regiment."
"But now the four of you have already discussed how to divide it,"
"Lao Tzu is still guilty of being a wicked person, and then looking for you to rob the booty?"
"Brigade Commander, you don't rob, wow?" Li Yunlong was overjoyed when he heard this.
Immediately, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the weapons and equipment placed on the threshing floor and said, "Then what does this mean?" ”
"Oh, that's what you say?" The brigade commander said, "Isn't it just that a reporter was interviewing at the headquarters, and I learned from the boss that our 386th Brigade had won a big victory, so I came here to interview." ”
