Chapter 364: Keeping a Hand

After the meeting in Zhaojiayu, Gu Zidi returned to Gujiayu overnight.

There were also ten militiamen who followed Gu Zidi back to Gujiayu.

Five of the militia were from the district brigade and five were from the district squad.

These ten militiamen were all armed with Liao 13 rifles, and each rifle was equipped with five rounds of ammunition.

For the militia, this is already an excess, and if it weren't for this counter-sweep, their ammunition allocation would never exceed two rounds, and generally only one bullet.

Now let's talk about Guzidi, Guzidi was originally the first batch of recruits to expand after the independent regiment was transferred to the Fuliang Mountains, and even participated in the white-knuckle battle between Yelangyu and the Kwantung Army.

Then he followed Shen Quan to the county brigade in a daze.

And now, Guzidi is back to square one: Gujiayu.

When Gu Zidi returned to Gujiayu, it was already ten o'clock at night, but Gujiayu's village elder, Gu Xiaobei, the head of the women's rescue committee, and the militia captain, and a few activists were waiting.

Wait until the grain comes back and gives them instructions.

Seeing Gu Zidi walking in, Lao Gu, Gu Xiaobei and others got up one after another.

Gu Xiaobei said even more excitedly: "Brother Gu Zi, if you go back to Gujiayu, we will have the bottom in our hearts." ”

Gu Zidi has been in the main group for more than half a year, and the whole person has been reborn and become more calm, although he is actually only nineteen years old now.

"Let me first convey the instructions of the regimental party committee."

Gu Zidi walked to the main seat, and with a sweep of his eyes, Lao Gu and the others suddenly became serious.

Gu Xiaobei's eyes showed even more envy and admiration, and he said in his heart that I would also strive to join the main force as soon as possible and become a tough guy like Brother Gu Zi, Xiaojuan will definitely like it when she sees it.

Gu Zidi paused for a moment, and said with a serious face: "The devil's sweep this time is different from the past, the situation will be extremely grim, the regiment party committee instructed us to fight for the village and the people for themselves!" ”

"It means that even if there is only one Gujiayu village left, we must continue to fight."

"Even if there is only one person left in our Gujiayu Village, this person must insist on fighting, we must persevere, as long as we persist, we will definitely win."

"Hold on! It's victory! ”

"The final victory must be ours!"

Gu Xiaobei, the village elder Gu, the women's rescue president Gu Sister-in-law, and a few activists suddenly perked up when they heard this, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they suddenly became full of confidence.

……

The trust of the 200,000 fathers and villagers in the entire Fuliang Mountain base area in the party committee of the Independent League is unconditional, but Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang feel heavy.

The reason is simple, this kind of trust is a whipping, but also a responsibility.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang thought the same, afraid of living up to the expectations of the villagers.

If the anti-sweep failed, they couldn't imagine what a tragic scene Fuliang Mountain would be!

Since Okamura Ninji took up the post of commander of the North China Front, the law and order strategy in North China tended to be the same, that is, to encircle the Chinese people in the Japanese-occupied areas in every possible way, to forcibly relocate the people in the guerrilla areas contested by both sides to the Japanese-occupied areas, and to adopt a cruel and barbaric three-light policy for the people in the base areas.

Therefore, in case this counter-sweep fails, none of the 200,000 fathers and elders in the Fuliang Mountain base area will survive!

Moreover, it is too late to transfer now, because the devil's sweeping troops have all been in place, and the periphery of the Fuliang Mountain base has been blocked.

Now even a fly can't fly out.

Therefore, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were particularly worried.

As soon as he moved into the underground headquarters of Fuliang Mountain Fortress, Li Yunlong brought Wang Ye over.

"Xiao Wang, you and Lao Zhao have a solid background." Li Yunlong said, "How sure is this anti-sweep going on?" ”

"Leader, why have you become a mother-in-law?" Wang Ye was surprised, "Didn't I tell you many times, the possibility of us losing this counter-sweep is very small, and we will win." ”

"Sure win?" Li Yunlong frowned and said, "There is no need to talk about these scenes for me and Lao Zhao, how sure are you of the truth?" ”

"Okay then."

Wang Ye was silent for a moment and then said, "Fifty percent." ”

"It's only fifty percent?" Li Yunlong's face collapsed instantly, "Half and half? ”

"Commander, half and half are good." Wang Ye said, "You don't want to think about it, the devil mobilized two divisions and a brigade this time, as well as two divisions of the puppet army!" ”

"What about us? We only have three regiments of troops. ”

"And the new 1st and 2nd regiments can only respond from the periphery."

"So all we can really rely on is the two thousand men of the Independent Regiment."

"Oh yes, there are more than 4,000 militiamen from the county brigade, the district squad and the villages."

"Even if it's a militia, we're only 6,000 people, but what about the devils? The devil puppet army that directly participated in the blockade and sweep of our Fuliang Mountain base area is full of 40,000 people! ”

"The strength of the devil's puppet army is more than six times that of us."

"If it hadn't been for the tunnels, this battle wouldn't have been fought at all."

"That's why I'm worried." Li Yunlong muttered, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, in case the devils storm the tunnels of each village at any cost, can they only defend it with only about 20 militiamen in each village?" ”

Zhao Gang also said: "Yes, there are only about 20 militiamen in each village. ”

There are only twenty militiamen, and the ammunition ration is still small, how can you fight with the devils?

In case the devil is ruthless and rushes into the tunnel desperately, it is estimated that no village will be able to defend it.

Wang Ye said lightly: "We know that there are only about twenty militiamen in each village, but the devil doesn't know. ”

Li Yunlong said: "The devils don't know, but they will definitely launch a tentative attack, relying on the militia alone, even with the help of tunnels, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the devils from attacking." ”

Zhao Gang also said: "Yes, the devil will definitely enter the tunnel." ”

"The devil puppet army will definitely go down to the tunnel, at least in the initial stage." Wang Ye nodded, and then said, "So we have to beat the devil puppet army in the initial stage, until the devil puppet army is scared when they see the tunnel, and they are frightened, so they can't wait to take a detour, so that the villages behind will also have a safety guarantee." ”

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were stunned when they heard this, this Wang Ye didn't say it before.

Li Yunlong said: "Xiao Wang, if you really left a hand in the dog's day, I know." ”

Zhao Gang asked: "Xiao Wang, your wolf squadron will also attack next, right?" ”

"Yes." Wang Ye said, "Next, our wolf squadron will be divided into three combat groups, and they will enter the outermost three villages respectively, and cooperate with the local militia team to fight the devil puppet army. ”

Li Yunlong said: "Xiao Wang, then you must be careful." ”

The members of the Wolf Warrior Squadron are all treasures, and there can't be any mistakes.

"Don't worry." Wang Ye said, "Regiment leader, political commissar, then I'll go." ”

Back in the cave of the Wolf Warrior Squadron, more than fifty Wolf Warrior members have completed the assembly.

Seeing Li Xia and Cheng Yue carrying the receiver and transmitter on their backs, he waved his hand and said, "I don't need to use radio contact when I go out this time, so I don't need to bring the radio station." ”

Li Xia and Cheng Yue hurriedly put down the radio.

Wang Ye said again: "You don't need to bring submachine guns, snipers carry sniper rifles, and the others are uniformly equipped with 38 big covers, and each person carries two shell guns. ”

The Wolf Warrior Squadron has a special camp in the fortress of Fuliang Mountain, and there are several large caves.

One of the caves was dedicated to storing weapons and equipment, and contained more than 100 rifles, more than 100 submachine guns, and more than 200 20-shot box guns.

Ammunition reserves are also separate.

It is not counted in Lao Gou's supply.

"Two hundred rounds for each rifle and four hundred rounds for each box gun." After saying this, Wang Ye said again, "Gather again in five minutes, move quickly." ”

After a few moments, the whole outfit was completed.

Wang Ye called Wei Dayong and Lu Changsheng to him again.

"Monk, you take the second group to the direction of Qingyun Town."

"Lao Lu, you take the third group to the direction of Lijia Town."

"Start sniping from Dongzhang Village and Xiwang Village on the periphery, snipe as many devils as possible, and ignore the puppet army."

"After retreating to Qingyun Town and Lijia Town, the first and second battalions will be waiting for you there, you cooperate with the first and second battalions to fight a powerful sniper, and you must hurt the devil."

"Yes!" Wei Dayong and Lu Changsheng nodded solemnly.

"Go ahead." Wang Ye waved his hand, and most of the people walked away.

There were only eighteen people left in the same place, Duan Peng, Wei Xilai, Zhao Erwa, and Liu Dongtang......

Wang Ye walked in front of the team members one by one, patted Duan Peng's shoulder, touched Wei Xilai's head, and tightened the strap of Liu Dongtang's tactical vest until Liu Hui was standing at the end.

The team members seemed to feel it, and their faces became solemn.

But Wang Ye didn't say much, just waved his hand.

Duan Peng, who was standing at the head of the line, immediately turned around and entered the Yongdao.

Wei Xilai, Zhao Erwa and other team members also followed one by one.

Wang Ye was the last to enter the deep corridor.

……

Mount Taiyue, the war room of the brigade headquarters.

The brigade commander looked worried, and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Fuliang Mountain is not optimistic. ”

"yes." The chief of staff also said abruptly, "According to the intelligence, the devils mobilized two divisions, one brigade and two divisions of the puppet army this time, of which there are 20,000 devils plus 20,000 puppet troops who were directly used to sweep the Fuliang Mountain base area, and the total strength is 20 times that of the independent regiment, how can this battle be fought?" What a disparity! ”

The brigade commander breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That is, Li Yunlong and Wang Ye, if they were to be replaced by others, I would have ordered them to move in advance, and this battle has no need to be fought at all!" ”

The chief of staff said worriedly: "But Li Yunlong will lead the troops again, Wang Ye will fight again, I'm afraid it's useless, this time the situation is far more dangerous than any before!" This time, they not only want to smash the sweep of the devil puppet army, but also protect the 200,000 people in the Fuliang Mountain base area, which is too difficult! ”

The brigade commander was silent for a while and said: "But fortunately, Li Yunlong can always come up with some ghost ideas at critical moments, let alone Xiao Wang, whether it is military literacy or theoretical level, it is top-notch, I believe that the two of them can still create miracles!" This time, they can not only smash and sweep, but also protect the 200,000 people in the base area! ”

……

Tiandagang, the headquarters of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army.

Liang Gang is taking several officers from the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps to do war games.

"Brigade." One of the officers pushed the war game in his hand and said with a wry smile, "This battle has nothing to fight at all, and the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army doesn't even have a chance of one percent." ”

"yes." Another officer said.

"It's a must-lose battle."

"I can't figure out why the independent regiment didn't run?"

"yes, that's not in line with their usual style."

"That's right, the Communist Party has always fought when it wins, and runs away if it can't win? Why is it unusual, this time, I have to stay in the Fuliang Mountains and fight hard with devils ten times my size? Just because of the tunnel? ”

"The tunnel is not a panacea, and everything will be fine if you fix it."

Liang Gang ignored the officers' comments and walked to the window alone.

The terrain of Tiandagang is high, so through the window of the headquarters, you can vaguely see the main peak of Fuliang Mountain in the south.

Liang Gang secretly wondered, Li Yunlong and Wang Ye, I don't know if you can create a new miracle this time? As the brigade commander of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, I hope that you can fight with the Japanese army and lose both, but as a Chinese, I hope that you can severely defeat the sharp spirit of the devil and play the prestige of Chinese soldiers!

……

Jiugong Town, the new regimental headquarters.

Kong Jie hurriedly walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Lao Ding, this time it's a big trouble." ”

Ding Wei's eyes kept staring at the combat map in front of him, as if he didn't see Kong Jie.

"Lao Ding?" Kong Jie stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Ding Wei's eyes, and said angrily, "When I am air?" ”

"Lao Kong, you interrupted my train of thought." Ding Wei said angrily, "I'm thinking about how to support Lao Li." ”

"How else can I help?" Kong Jie said with a dark face, "Iwamatsu Yoshio specially transferred the Third Brigade back, just to block the two of us, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for us to directly support Lao Li across the Tongpu Railway, at most it is to make a fuss along the Tongpu Railway and on the periphery of Anhua." ”

After a pause, Kong Jie suddenly thought to himself: "Lao Ding, how about we fight Anhua?" ”

"Lao Kong, don't make trouble." Ding Wei didn't have a good breath, "Just our two regiments, we don't even have a decent cannon, and it takes a lot of effort to pull out a slightly larger stronghold, and what do you say to fight Anhua." ”

Kong Jie said: "Then you say, what should the two of us do?" ”

Ding Wei squinted his eyes and said: "I'm thinking, it's definitely not okay to come hard, we have to fight skillfully, and we can't fight indiscriminately, we have to find the key point of the devil!" ”

"Critical?" Kong Jie said, "What's the point?" ”

Ding Wei pondered for a moment and then said: "Lao Kong, let's first gather the Violent Wolf Squadron and the Heavenly Wolf Squadron, and then select about two hundred veterans from the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment to form an assault brigade!" ”

"And then?" Kong Jie said, "What happened after it was formed?" ”

"Wait." Ding Wei said, "Yes, wait." ”

"Wait?" Kong Jie was dumbfounded.

……

Chu Yunfei took Fang Ligong to the forward observation post of the only brigade of the Jin Sui Army.

This forward observation post is located in the southwest of the Xiji stronghold, less than five kilometers away from the Xiji stronghold, and the terrain is high, so that you can see the Xiji stronghold and the terrain north of it from a high vantage point.

With the help of the artillery mirror, it can be seen that the Japanese army is digging a blockade trench two kilometers north of the Xiji stronghold.

Fang Ligong directly took the telescope and looked down from the lookout hole, and said: "In my estimation, the width of the Japanese army's blockade ditch is about four or five meters, and the depth is only about two meters, and the specifications do not seem to be high. ”

Chu Yunfei said: "Meritorious brother, haven't you seen it yet? This time, the focus of the Japanese blockade was not on the blockade ditch, but on the pillboxes along the blockade ditch, and the independent regiment was afraid that it would be in big trouble this time. ”

Fang Ligong said: "Is it difficult to pull out the bunkers along the blockade ditch? ”

"It's easy for our only brigade to pull it out." Chu Yunfei snorted and said, "A simple bunker like this can be destroyed with a single shell!" ”

"But for the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army,"

"It's not easy to uproot these bunkers."

"First of all, they had to cross the blockade ditch, and after crossing the blockade ditch, they could only use excavation, blasting and even storming to destroy the Japanese pillboxes."

"The problem is that these improvised bunkers can be easily repaired."

"In other words, the independent regiment spent a lot of effort and heavy costs, and finally destroyed a pillbox, but the Japanese army repaired it in the blink of an eye, you say, the independent regiment is not discouraged?"

"Deflated, for sure." Fang Ligong said with a smile, "If you change me, I'm afraid I'll give up directly." ”

"The Independent Regiment will definitely not give up easily, and they will definitely fight the Japanese army to the end."

Chu Yunfei snorted twice, shook his head again and said, "This time, the independent regiment is afraid that it will be difficult to escape." ”

Fang Ligong subconsciously looked left and right, fortunately, there was no one else in the observation post, and it would not affect Chu Yunfei's personal image.

At that moment, Fang Meritorious Service said: "So now, the only suspense is how much damage the independent regiment can inflict on the Japanese army before it is finally wiped out?" ”

"yes, I'm afraid that's the only suspense."

Chu Yunfei nodded lightly, and said: "Brother Yunlong, you must not let Chu down, to borrow your brother's words, even if you die, you will also die on the way to the charge, so even if your independent regiment cannot escape the annihilation of the whole army, you must bite off a piece of meat from the Japanese army before the whole army is destroyed." ”

……

Nearly dawn, Wang Ye led the first combat team of the Wolf Squadron to Gujiayu.

Hearing that Wang Ye had arrived in person, Gu Zidi was overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly led the militia team back from the forward position.

"Counselor Wang!" Gu Zidi stood up and saluted, and said happily, "I really didn't expect you to come here in person." ”

Wang Ye returned a military salute and asked, "Has the devil puppet army ever been to Gujiayu?" ”

Gu Zi said: "Before dawn, we sent a team of puppet soldiers over, and we beat them back. ”

"Okay, then I got it." Wang Ye said again, "Have the villagers all moved into the tunnel?" ”

"It's been transferred to the tunnels a long time ago." Gu Zidi said happily, "Not only the personnel, materials, and even livestock have been transferred into the tunnel, even if the devil enters the village, don't think about finding a grain of rice." ”

"Okay." Wang Ye nodded, and said, "Go to the front line." ”
