411 The New Wave of Anti-Sweep

Since Yoshio Shinozuka took charge of Shanxi, he has been implementing long-term public security, and the most important thing is the stability of public order in the occupied areas of Shanxi, and he must not cause turmoil in the rear because of the current sweep of the Eighth Route Army.

The independent regiment took the lead in jumping out of the sweeping encirclement and went so far as to attack Yangquan and other Japanese county towns in the rear, which was beyond the expectations of the Japanese.

What shocked the Japanese army even more was the speed with which this independent regiment attacked the city.

Yangquan, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, did not hold out for an hour before and after it was breached by the city gate.

I really don't know how these Eighth Route Army did it.

Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't sit still, and ordered the troops to sweep the Taihang area, and immediately transferred troops to return to Yangquan and other county towns that were being raided by the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, the independent regiment base was nearby.

The advance of the Ishii Wing and the troops of the Yamaguchi Tree Side from Nishicun and Zhangjiazhuang was slow and the losses were huge.

The persimmon picks the soft pinch first, and this Ishii Haraichi and Yamaguchi saw that the situation was not right.

Attacking from Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang may not be realistic, and the two immediately divided their follow-up forces into multiple routes, first besieging other villages around the base area of the Independent Regiment.

And when the Japanese army dealt with these outlying villages, there were many amazing stories that happened:

Longwo Village.

Only five comrades from the local district squad remained, plus more than 20 militia comrades.

Although these comrades were not many in number, they were not soldiers of the regular army of the Independent Regiment, but they all behaved very heroically in this anti-sweeping battle.

Before the devils entered the village, the comrades of the district squad and the comrades of the militia squad dragged the devils and puppet troops all the way in the field with guerrilla warfare.

After the devils and puppet troops officially entered Longwo Village, they fought tunnel warfare with the help of mine warfare in the village and some tunnels dug in advance.

The militia comrades, armed with a batch of shotguns distributed by the independent regiment at hand, attacked the Japanese puppet army at close range, and the bullets hit like splashing ink, and five or six devils met them, and they could all be injured at one time.

In the end, the Japanese puppet army that swept forward did occupy Longwo Village, but at the cost of more than 200 casualties, of which more than 50 devils were killed, more than 20 puppet soldiers were killed, and more than 100 enemies were wounded.

A small Longwo village, with only a few dozen villagers in the entire village, has caused such a lot of casualties to the devils.

When the news reached Ishii Haraichi's ears, Ishii Haraichi couldn't help but shudder, and always felt that the villages near the independent regiment base were not like villages, but like hell.

Ding's camp.

A squadron of devils swept all the way over, and finally set fire to the Dingjia camp, and the whole village did not see half a person, and in the village, the devils and puppet soldiers did not capture half of the grain.

But it was this village where no one existed, but it was full of traps, and the devils of this squadron were halfway through the village, and nearly a third of them were killed.

Along the way, there are all kinds of mines and traps everywhere.

The last frightened devil squadron hurriedly retreated from the middle of the village and set fire to the entire Ding family camp.

Because of the burning fire, the squadron was held back from the village, and waited for several hours, until the fire was extinguished, and then it passed through the village again and continued to sweep forward.

Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village.

In the two small villages on the outskirts that Kong Jie had personally visited, the militia had only five or six people combined.

Kong Jie still remembers the names of the three militia comrades in Xiaonan Village: Chen Xiaomin, Luo Siwa, and Zheng Gui.

Before the devils swept over, the villagers of Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village had already been safely evacuated, but how could these hot-blooded militia comrades watch the village where they have lived for generations being persecuted by the devils?

So he stayed in the village and finally stopped the Japanese army.

The little comrades of the three peoples have applied guerrilla warfare and movement warfare in the mountainous areas to perfection.

The three of them led more than 100 devils to go around in circles in the mountains.

Later, he even came to kill people with a knife, and killed the little devil by the hand of the devil.

What's going on?

It turned out that these three militia comrades lured the pursuing devil puppet army all the way, and deliberately lured this devil puppet army to the vicinity of the other team of devils and puppet army that swept over, and let the two devil puppet army troops fight across a hillside.

The devil puppet army troops across the mountain did not find each other, and they all suffered a fire raid from the opposite side, and thought that they had encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the two sides fought more and more fiercely, and wondered at the same time, how could the other party be the weapons of the imperial troops?

It wasn't until later that a devil sentry made a detour to check in advance, and it didn't matter if he saw it, it turned out that he was hitting his own people.

The misunderstanding was resolved, but the two sides were in a fierce fight, and the Japanese puppet troops of the two sides who bombarded each other with grenadiers and shells across the hillside suffered more than 100 casualties.

The stupid devils and the puppet army were turned around by the three militia comrades in this way.

Such an anti-sweeping deed can be regarded as a legend.

……

The news of the sweep in the surrounding villages also quickly reached the ears of Ishii Haraichi and Yamaguchi Shubi.

"Obviously, these peripheral villages are not the center of defense of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and they have shrunk their main forces in the areas of Xicun, Zhangjiazhuang, and Niukou Village, but the peripheral villages also have militia units for some defense."

Ishii Haraichi analyzed the specific situation, and his face was not good-looking.

"But such a peripheral village has also caused a lot of casualties to our imperial troops, which is really unforgivable!"

In the midst of the anger, the communication soldier rushed over in a panic and reported:

"Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, news has come from the strongholds in the rear that they have been attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, news came from Yangquan that it was raided by the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

……

"Report to Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, the main gate of Yangquan has been broken through by the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the commander has sent an order, let my department immediately send troops back to Yangquan!"

……

One news after another came, each time more urgent, each time worse and worse, Ishii Haraichi went from shock, shock and consternation at the beginning, to now dumbfounded.

"This is absolutely impossible, the troops of the Eighth Route Army are being besieged by our regiments, where did they come from The main force suddenly appeared in our rear?"

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, according to the news coming back from the county, it seems to be the main force of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"Independent regiment? No way, this is absolutely impossible! ”

The angry Ishii Haraichi even scolded.

He didn't want to admit that he couldn't quickly break through the defenses of Yangcun and Zhangjiazhuang.

He was even more reluctant to admit that he had led his troops to fight the village for so long, and the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army that defended internally was not the main force.

But what's going on? The independent regiment that was obviously surrounded by him, how could the main force appear in the rear of Yangquan?

Yamaguchi Shubian didn't care about the reason at this moment, this time against the independent regiment, it was he and Ishii Wing who joined forces, and as a result, the main force of the independent regiment slipped to the rear under his nose.

It's a great shame.

If this continues, the failure of this sweep will be caused by his independent Fourth Mixed Brigade.

The Eighth Route Army had to deal with it, but the county town in the rear could not be lost.

After receiving the order from the headquarters, the mountain pass tree did not dare to delay, and immediately dispatched a large group of troops to return to the direction of Yangquan County.

……

West Village.

The roar of the devil's Type 97 medium tank engine spread far away, the barrel was deeply inserted into the pit, and the tracks of the entire tank turned on its side, constantly turning, but it never reached the bottom, and it was so embarrassing that the bottom was stuck in the trap pit.

Not far away, the soldiers were overjoyed, "Battalion commander, we have caught the tank." ”

The devil captain of the chariot squad was a little stunned.

When the tank came here, there were deep trenches on both sides, and in order to prevent the tank from falling into the trench, the tank pushed forward along the dirt road in the center, and several soldiers walked a little in front of the tank, all of which were safe, but the tank drove past and fell directly into a deep pit.

These Eighth Route Army are really very cunning.

"Hit!"

The follow-up troops of the devils wanted to rescue the tanks, and even wanted to use ropes to pull out the tanks that had fallen into the pit with another tank, but the commander of the fourth battalion would not give these devils a chance, and immediately gave the order to open fire.

Niukou Village.

Separate regiment, regimental headquarters.

"Report to the regiment commander, the news came from the fourth battalion that in the direction of Xicun, our comrades let a Japanese tank successfully fall into the trap pit."

Kong Jie nodded, turned his head to Shen Wenyue and said, "Our Eighth Route Army is far inferior to the equipment of the national army, and we don't have anti-tank weapons at hand. ”

Shen Wenyue said: "The Japanese tanks are very powerful, are these local methods really practical?" ”

Kong Jie said: "It's better than sitting still." ”

As the two were talking, the correspondent received the latest situation from the direction of Yangquan through the radio, and immediately got up and reported to Kong Jie with a happy face: "Report to the regiment commander, good news, the first battalion commander, the second battalion commander and the third battalion commander have become the commanders, and they have successfully hit the rear of the devils, and now they have broken through Yangquan." ”

"Well played!" Kong Jie spoke.

Shen Wenyue on the side was a little stunned, and the pen that was originally recorded in the book subconsciously stopped.

"Hit the rear of the Japanese army?"

Kong Jie laughed and said: "Our Eighth Route Army is not easy to bully, the little devil swept and hit our door, why can't we hit his devil's door?"

Isn't Reporter Shen curious about where the rest of the troops of my independent regiment are arranged? Now you should understand that just before the main force of the Japanese army came over, the main force of our independent regiment had already broken through and attacked directly by taking advantage of the emptiness of the rear of the Japanese army. ”

Shen Wenyue, who suddenly came back to her senses, was shocked: "Oh my God! Commander Kong, is this kind of fighting style of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle also a common anti-sweeping tactic used by your Eighth Route Army? ”

Kong Jie said: "There is no absolute tactics, only flexible application, just like the tactics in front of you, this time it may be easy to use, but everyone will know it in the future, and it may not work if you use it again." ”

……

……

When the news reached the new second regiment, Li Yunlong had already personally led a battalion and once again burst out.

"What, Yangquan was beaten down by Lao Kong's kid !!"

Li Yunlong, who heard the news, was dumbfounded on the spot.

"Damn, Lao Tzu easily broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army, I originally thought it was good, but now compared with Lao Kong, it's not a fart."

"Lao Kong, this kid is ruthless enough, this is a tactic to change homes with the little devil!"

"Commander, what should we do now? Is it to kill back or ......," Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, asked.

The first battalion is the absolute main force of the new second regiment, and Li Yunlong is eccentric, and when he led the new regiment, he equipped most of the elite equipment in the first battalion.

Now that the new second regiment is still like this.

The firepower of the first battalion exceeded that of the second and third battalions, and machine guns and grenadiers could even be equipped with combat units at the squad level.

When Zhang Dabiao led a battalion to kill suddenly, it was like a sharp knife, directly tearing a big crack in the defense of the Japanese brigade.

The blockade devil troops were stunned by the fire of the first battalion.

"Kill back a fart, now kill back, just those two melons and dates, our old Li can't look down on it, and we can't do the business of losing money."

"In this way, Da Biao, Lao Kong's kid has gone to Yangquan, and we can't lag behind. Hit in the direction of Yangquan County, first pull out the surrounding areas of the devils, the rest of the county seats, villages and towns, and strongholds, and then plan for the attack of the independent regiment in the enemy's rear. ”

Li Yunlong, who had fully comprehended the essence of the tactics of changing his family, gave the order.

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao replied excitedly.

As for the follow-up defense of the new second regiment, Li Yunlong was very relieved and handed it over to the second battalion, the third battalion, and the political commissar Zhao Gang.

The Japanese brigade besieging the New Second Regiment has been crippled by the back and forth assaults of the first battalion, and the devils have now lost the sharpness to take down the New Second Regiment.

……

A new regiment.

Knowing that Kong Jie's independent regiment broke through the blockade of the Japanese army, directly hit the rear of the devil, and broke through Yangquan, Ding Wei couldn't help but smile.

Sun Zhenguo, the commander of the first battalion, was very emotional, "Regiment commander, this regiment commander Kong is also too powerful, I heard that their independent regiment's anti-sweeping defense operation was fought well, I thought that the commander of the Kong regiment deployed the main force in the defensive battle of the village, who knew that as soon as the people turned around, they hit the rear of the devil." ”

Ding Wei said with a smile: "Lao Kong is now a big business, after the battle with the Shijing Wing, I heard that the Independent Regiment has captured a lot of puppet soldiers, and now the strength of the whole regiment has exceeded 4,000 people, and he has this capital." ”

"But then again, Lao Kong's move is indeed bold."

"If the devil is determined to eat his independent regiment base and ignores the Yangquan in the rear, his independent regiment is afraid that it will be in trouble."

Sun Zhenguo said with a smile: "Regiment Commander, what's the trouble here, it's a big deal to throw the base to the devils, this is a tactic to change families, and they can't afford to lose Commander Kong." ”

Ding Wei said: "That's the truth, it seems that the anti-sweeping operation of our Eighth Route Army has been played by Lao Kong with new tricks!" ”

"If you don't get this change tactic, it will even become a new wave of our anti-sweep in the future."

"Regiment Commander, I heard that after Commander Li's first battalion broke through, it also went straight to Yangquan, should we also join in the fun?" Sun Zhenguo asked.

Ding Wei thought about it, shook his head, and said with a smile: "We can't be unproductive, just play with the rest of Lao Kong, now rush over, the daylily is cold, and the soup can't be drunk."

In this way, we will do our best to hold back the Japanese troops attacking our new regiment, and then find a way to ambush him on the way back to Yangquan on the way back to Yangquan, which can be regarded as indirect support for Lao Li and Lao Kong.

Not to mention the favor of Lao Li and Lao Kong, the key is that we also have meat to eat. ”

"Hehe, Commander, you can still see it." Sun Zhenguo replied with a smile.
