Chapter 173: Famous General's Mission: Ping'an County (1)
In Ouyang Yu's room in the Tiger Squatting Mountain, Wei Qingfeng listened to Ouyang Yu's story crying, touched a handful of snot with Ouyang Yu's towel and asked, "Are you the leader of the bandits but the battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army?"
Wei Qingfeng looked at Ouyang Yu suspiciously, and didn't believe what she said, in her opinion, fighting is a man's business, how can there be a place for a woman in the army, but this woman is still the commander of a unit.
Ouyang Yu knew that she wouldn't believe it, "Pack up and I'll take you to see my troops." "Because of Wei Qingfeng's matter, Ouyang Yu promised Jiang Shengli, and the matter hasn't been dealt with yet.
Wei Qingfeng hurriedly wiped his face, tidied up his messy clothes and hair again, and then walked out of the small courtyard behind Ouyang Yu with red eyes.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The soldiers of the second battalion on the huge training ground of Tiger Squatting Mountain were training hard and shouting to kill, Wei Qingfeng, who had never seen such training, felt very curious, and believed that Ouyang Yu was telling the truth, but after seeing the Japanese soldiers who were also training, her face changed instantly, and she pointed to those Japanese soldiers and asked: "What's the matter with those people? Don't tell me they're not little devils?" Although Wei Qingfeng is a bandit, he still has a patriotic heart, so naturally he doesn't have a good impression of the Japanese.
Ouyang Yu slapped his head and almost forgot about this matter, and made a calm gesture to Wei Qingfeng, shouting loudly in Japanese: "Captain Nanyun, come here!"
After hearing Ouyang Yu's summons, Second Lieutenant Nanyun Zhong immediately ran to her and bowed and said, "Your Majesty." Obey your commands. β
"I will wait for you to take your people with me to the munitions warehouse to change your uniforms, and don't throw away your current uniforms, which may be useful in the future. Also, until the others are familiar with you, don't come to the big training ground for the time being, there are so many places on the mountain that you can find a place after changing your uniform. β
"Hey, do as Your Majesty commands. "Nanyun Zhongji has no opinion on Ouyang Yu's arrangement, let alone changing the venue and changing the military uniform, even if he wants to commit suicide immediately, he and all the Japanese soldiers will obediently cut their stomachs.
Wei Qingfeng, who was on the side, looked at Ouyang Yu in surprise. Although she couldn't understand what she was talking about with the Japanese in front of her, she could see that Ouyang Yu was giving orders, and the little devil in front of her respectfully accepted her orders and didn't dare to disobey them in the slightest.
"You can even order the Japanese?"
Ouyang Yu turned his head and explained to Wei Qingfeng: "Although they are Japanese. However, he was a member of the Japanese Communist Party and a member of the toiling mass proletariat, and because he did not want to die for Japanese militarism, he abandoned the secret and defected to the Eighth Route Army, which is now under my command. β
"Oh. Wei Qingfeng nodded suspiciously.
"Battalion commander...... Yes. The big boss. An urgent call from my hometown!" Xiaobai ran over with a telegram.
"Don't call the big boss anymore, I've already told your 'sister-in-law'. Ouyang Yu took the telegram and read it, and after reading it, his face suddenly changed, "Xiaobai, immediately notify the instructor and the platoon commanders of each company to have a meeting with the battalion commander, there is a big battle to fight!"
"Yes!"
Wei Qingfeng asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Ouyang Yu gritted his teeth and replied: "My superior unit, the regimental headquarters of the Independent Regiment, was attacked by the Japanese special forces, and the political commissar Zhao Gang was seriously injured. The new wife of the regiment commander Li Yunlong was taken away, and the village where the regiment headquarters was located was burned down. Hundreds of villagers were killed, and the regiment commander Li Yunlong asked me to lead the troops back to attack Ping'an County, eliminate the Japanese soldiers, and avenge the villagers who were killed!"
"Huh?!" Wei Qingfeng covered her mouth in surprise.
"Let's go, come with me to a meeting and listen. Ouyang Yu took Wei Qingfeng's little hand and walked towards the camp finger.
The matter of sending troops was quickly agreed, because there was nothing to say about this, the second battalion all went out, changed into the military uniform of the Eighth Route Army again, brought weapons and baggage, and moved quickly all the way to the assembly point requested by Li Yunlong, Wei Qingfeng also joined the ranks of the march, Ouyang Yu didn't want her to go, but Wei Qingfeng wanted to go, and the reason was also very good, what if what you said was lying to me? Only when I went could I know if you were telling the truth, Ouyang Yu had no choice but to agree to her, so Wei Qingfeng, who was wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, happily joined the marching queue.
After a period of development, Ouyang Yu's second battalion is now strong and strong, with seven infantry companies, a sniper brigade of more than 100 people, and an artillery company, with two Type 92 infantry guns and twelve 90-mm mortars, plus logistics and battalion command, the total number of the entire second battalion exceeds 1,000 people, and the number has already reached the scale of the regiment.
The assembly point of the independent regiment was set up in a village less than ten kilometers away from the county seat of Ping'an, and after several days of intense travel, Ouyang Yu and the second battalion finally arrived here.
It has been so long since the commanders of each battalion met each other that they felt very cordial, and there were still some comparisons between them, such as who had more machine guns than others, and who had more mortars than others, because these weapons were captured from the Japanese, and showing off their weapons was also showing off their combat exploits, and comparing the number of people in each battalion was also comparing their own development.
Li Yunlong was very happy to show off and compare with each other among the battalion commanders, because the better their development means that their strength is stronger, and the higher the success rate of attacking Ping'an County.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Xing, have all the battalions arrived?"
Xing Zhiguo, the deputy commander of the regiment, looked at it, thought about it in his heart, and replied: "In addition to the second battalion, all battalions can reach it, and it is estimated that it will take a little time for the second battalion to travel farthest. β
Li Yunlong nodded, "Well, when the second battalion comes, we will arrange combat missions, I want to see how Ouyang's girl is developing now? She is much stronger than us in Huqu Mountain, and she also went to Tianjing to choke the little devil enough." β
"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, head of the regiment, you see, the second battalion is here. β
Li Yunlong looked in the direction of Xing Zhiguo's finger, and a long line drove from a distance. There were countless long guns and short cannons in the team, and Li Yunlong even saw two cannons.
"Yo, Ouyang's girl is really developing well. I thought that only the first battalion had artillery, but I didn't expect the second battalion to have it now, but I don't know if the Italian artillery of the first battalion is a little more powerful? Or is the cannon of the little devil a little more powerful?"
The arrival of Ouyang Yu and the second battalion caused a sensation, especially the two Type 92 infantry guns, which caused onlookers from the commanders of the battalions. Ouyang Yu, commander of the second battalion of the Independent Regiment, reports to you!"
Li Yunlong returned the salute and said appreciatively: "Good guy, your second battalion now has a thousand people, right?"
"The whole battalion was 1,375 men. β
"Hahahaha. Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Ouyang, what kind of battalion are you, it's already a regiment." It seems that I should report to my superiors and let you come to be the commander of our independent regiment. β
Although it was a joke, Ouyang Yu still said modestly: "Commander, I don't dare to ask for your position, if you have to give me a promotion." Just give me a regimental deputy. β
Li Yunlong quipped: "Hahahaha." The deputy head of the regiment gave it to you, what should Lao Xing do?"
"Deputy Commander Xing is naturally promoted to the main regiment as the head of the regiment. β
"Hahahaha......!" ΓN, Ouyang Yu's words made everyone laugh.
The jokes were also opened, and the old stories were also recounted, and when Li Yunlong came to the temporary regiment headquarters, he put away his smiling face and began to give orders.
"Except for the second battalion, all battalions are not divided into feints and main attacks, all of them give me all my strength to besiege Ping'an County, fight Ping'an County and rescue your sister-in-law!"
"Yes, fight Ping'an County to rescue my sister-in-law!" ΓN.
Today's independent regiment is also strong. Eight battalions of men, plus militia such as county brigades and district squads. All the troops add up to 10,000 people, almost the same as the strength of a division, although Ping'an County is stationed with a large group of Japanese troops and two brigades of puppet troops, but it will definitely not be the opponent of the independent regiment, it is only a matter of time to break through the county seat and how many casualties to pay, but the enemy of the independent regiment will definitely not only be a little bit in Ping'an County, once Ping'an County is attacked, the surrounding devils will definitely send reinforcements, so someone needs to block the enemy reinforcements, and this difficult task Li Yunlong intends to hand over to Ouyang Yuγ
Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said: "Ouyang, your second battalion is nailed to a fifteen-mile small temple for me, the fifteen-mile small temple is the only way for little devils to reinforce Ping'an County, there will definitely be a large number of devil reinforcements passing through here, your second battalion must hold on to me for seventy-two hours, do you have the confidence to complete the task?"
Ouyang Yuli replied loudly: "Yes! I promise that there will never be any devil who will pass through the fifteen-mile small temple, not even a devil's hair!"
"Okay, whether this attack on Ping'an County can be successful, this burden is not on our shoulders but on your shoulders, as long as you can hold the fifteen-mile small temple, you will definitely be able to succeed, if you can't hold it, our independent regiment will not only not be able to attack, but there will be a danger of annihilation of the whole army, so even if you die, you will die on the position for me!"
"Yes!" Ouyang Yu replied loudly again.
After the task was arranged, Li Yunlong pulled up his sleeves, "Now start to face the table, and start attacking in two hours!"
"Yes!" ΓN.
Two hours later, the battle to attack Ping'an County started on time, and hearing the fierce gunfire from the direction of the county seat, Ouyang Yu just glanced back, and then concentrated on the defensive arrangement.
The terrain of the fifteen-mile small temple is more complicated, it is a typical geographical environment of the Taihang Mountains, there are many small hills and hills, and a winding road runs through the mountains, which is the most suitable for blocking battles.
"The first company is here, the second company is here, these two mountains are like two door gods guarding the road under the mountain, as long as the reinforcements of the devils will not be lost here, they will not be able to reinforce Ping'an County, I don't need you to save bullets and shells in this battle, you just open up to fight, I can replenish as much ammunition you knock out, all the squad leaders of each company before the start of the battle went to receive a Suomi submachine gun and enough ammunition, and each squad was receiving a Degegalev light machine gun, so that the little devil could see what a barrage isγ β
In order to win the battle, Ouyang Yu armed her fighters as much as possible, if it weren't for the fact that there were too few soldiers who could operate artillery and no soldiers who could operate tanks at all, she would have taken out both the large-caliber howitzer and the No. 4 tank.
The soldiers of the second battalion desperately dug the fortifications according to Ouyang Yu's orders, and after a few hours, the fortifications gradually took shape, and trenches, communication trenches, anti-artillery holes, and machine-gun fortresses were built one by one.
In the eighth hour of the battle in Ping'an County, the first Japanese reinforcement approached the fifteen-mile small temple.
The reinforcements of this Japanese army were the Matsumoto Brigade stationed in Huangzhuang fifty miles away from the county seat of Ping'an, and Yamamoto Kazuki in Ping'an County did not immediately send a telegram for help at the beginning of the battle, but only sent a telegram for help to the headquarters of the First Army after several hours of fierce fighting, and the headquarters of the First Army issued an order for reinforcements to the garrison of Jin Province after receiving the telegram, so that the Matsumoto Brigade of the Second Brigade only arrived at the fifteen-mile small temple at this time.
The commander of the Matsumoto Brigade, Matsumoto Thirty-eight Junior Commander, because of the death order of the First Army Headquarters and the fact that he also looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, thought that a few charges could easily defeat the Eighth Route Army blocking in front of him, so he gave the order to attack despite the fact that his soldiers had just stopped the rapid march.
Ouyang Yu arranged the seven battalions under her command in turn, blocking them step by step, and the entire defense line was divided into three main positions, the front was the fifth and seventh companies, the middle was the fourth and sixth companies, and the most elite one, two, and third companies were arranged to the last and most important defense line.
The Japanese army of 1,500 men did not have time to open fire, and lined up more than ten to the skirmish line and launched an assault on the positions of the 5th and 7th companies.
"Fire!"
Ouyang Yu arranged the artillery company in the first line of defense, and immediately started the artillery bombardment after the Japanese army entered the effective firing range, anyway, in this battle, Ouyang Yu said that the artillery barrel is enough, and they can fight whatever they want.
"Chirp...... Boom, boom, boom......!"
The Japanese soldiers who launched the attack continued to advance against the falling shells, and Matsumoto Shaosa, who was commanding in the back, immediately felt that the eight roads in front of him were very different from the eight roads he had encountered before, although he had an ominous premonition in his heart, he still chose to believe in his soldiers, and did not give the order to retreat but let them continue to attack.
When the Japanese army entered the position of 600 meters, the light and heavy machine guns on the positions of the fifth and seventh companies rang out together, and the light and heavy machine guns of the two companies that had been greatly strengthened added up to dozens of units, and the dense rain of bullets fired out instantly shot down a large number of Japanese soldiers, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers immediately lay down and launched a confrontation with the fifth and seventh companies.
