"Under normal circumstances, if we want to uproot the stronghold of the Japanese army and break through the county seat of the Japanese army, it is basically impossible, and the devil reinforcements will arrive at any time, and we will not be given such an opportunity."

"Out of the roots, without the vast deep mountains as a barrier, in the county and the plains, we are definitely not the opponent of the devil."

"But once the Japanese army pours out of the nest because of the sweep, the rear troops are empty, and there are only some puppet troops with little combat effectiveness left, this is our golden opportunity."

"There are only some puppet troops left, and there are some county towns and towns with the devil gendarmerie, what else is there to fear?"

"Remember, such an opportunity may only come once in ten years, we either don't do it, or we will do it, once our plan is successfully implemented, your battalions must turn the sky for me in the rear, seize equipment and materials as much as possible, and at the same time destroy all kinds of military facilities built by the Japanese army in the county."

This is when the first, second, and third battalions were leaving, Kong Jie explained to the three battalion commanders.

The situation in front of him is just like Kong Jie's judgment.

Because of the Japanese army's sweep in the Taihang area this time, the main combat forces of the county towns almost poured out, leaving only an empty shell in the rear.

When the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Battalions of the Independent Regiment, which were well-equipped and had strong combat effectiveness, made a detour to the rear of the Japanese army, it was as if they were in a no-man's land.

When they reached Yangquan, there were still some devils and puppet soldiers who desperately resisted, but under the guidance of the comrades of the enemy's Ministry of Works, they still broke through the city gate.

By the time the commander of the third battalion led the team to other towns and towns, there were few devils, and the township guards of the puppet army abandoned the town and fled without a few shots.

The main control areas of the Japanese army are still in some county towns, such as these relatively remote towns, the defensive forces are very small, coupled with the emptiness of the rear troops, there are no reinforcements, and the devils also know that it is impossible to stop the pace of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

In this way, Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, led the soldiers to defeat the villages and towns around Yangquan, and attacked all the maintenance associations and some puppet army organizations in the town.

The smooth flow of the road is almost like a dream.

The devil is not there, this is the deep mountain without the tiger, let it be tossed.

……

When Li Yunlong led the team to the vicinity of Yangquan, he only hated that he had not grown two more legs, and that he had run too slowly, and some of the strongholds he encountered on the way had been pulled out by the men and horses of the three battalions of the independent regiment that had moved faster.

"Regiment commander, there is a medium-sized stronghold of the Japanese army on the road not far away, but the artillery tower has been blown up, and it seems that the comrades of the independent regiment moved it."

The scout came with news from the front.

Li Yunlong trembled in distress, this finally hit the rear, encountered so many strongholds, I thought I could get some meat to eat, but in the end, I followed the butt of the independent regiment and ate ashes, and I didn't even pick up the leak.

"Da Biao, I don't think this direction is right, we can't continue to go in this direction, we are all following the butts of the independent regiment, and we can't even drink soup!"

"These bunnies of the Independent Regiment, the stronghold was knocked down, and the bricks of the stronghold were almost taken away."

"Commander, let's change direction?" Zhang Dabiao suggested.

Li Yunlong thought about it, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "In this big sweep, the devils underestimated our new second regiment, and now our new second regiment has been killed all the way, and it is estimated that all parties of the little devils have not come to their senses." ”

"At present, the rear of the Japanese army is empty, such an opportunity is rare, since we are here, we can't come in vain."

"It's better to change directions, it just so happens that the troops of the Independent Regiment are also making noise in the rear of the devils, and they attract all the attention of the devils in that direction, so it's better for us to do it here."

Zhang Dabiao was overjoyed and said: "Commander, then let's hurry up and do it!" ”

"There's no hurry." Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "At present, only our first battalion of troops has broken through from the new second regiment, and the other troops are still holding back the Japanese brigade in the base area. ”

"In such a big rear, the main force of the little devils is not there, there are more opportunities to make a fortune, the more people we have, the better."

"In this way, first divide the team into three roads, rescue the local troops in the surrounding area, and then let's join forces with the comrades of the local troops, let's eat meat, let the local comrades drink some soup, and by the way, get more captures."

"Yes!"

"By the way, Da Biao, there is one more thing, the metal detector that came out for you to prepare this time, right?" Li Yunlong asked.

Zhang Dabiao replied: "Commander, bring it, isn't this just a thing for devils to detect mines!" It's just that I didn't understand, what are we going to do with this thing? ”

Li Yunlong said: "Originally, I thought that after the stronghold was built, I would use these mine detectors to dig out all the mines buried by the devils on the edge of the stronghold, which would always come in handy in the future." ”

"But just before that, it occurred to me that these metal detectors might be of great use."

"You kid don't know, when I was a Red Army in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, I used a detector to find the copper coins and gold bars buried by the landlord's old wealth around the house."

"You think, let's hit the rear of the devil-occupied area, take those towns and towns, and defeat the devil's maintenance association, and his two devils and traitors will definitely not hand over the finances to us honestly when they receive the news.

Maybe before we can fight over, we will bury all those valuables in the surrounding ground in advance.

At that time, our metal detectors will come in handy, find all the treasures hidden by these traitors and two devils for him, and dig them out. ”

"In addition, this Japanese sweep is advancing in the form of a large encirclement."

"Our new second regiment is here because the little devils don't pay much attention to it, so they can easily break through, but the other troops, the current situation of the counter-sweep, it is estimated that it is difficult!"

"In the process of advancing the devil's sweeping troops, many of our troops from other regiments will ambush them in the middle of the road."

"When our troops fight devil ambushes, they usually encounter such a situation, that is, after successfully completing the ambush and eliminating the devils, the devil's reinforcements will soon arrive.

We can't take a lot of equipment with us, heavy machine guns, and even some artillery, take it, it's too heavy, don't take it, throw it to the devil or blow it up and be reluctant.

So what to do? I can only find some place to bury these artillery equipment or something, and wait until I find an opportunity to come back and dig up these weapons in the future.

Because of this, there are many times equipment that is buried in the ground, and later there are also equipment that cannot be found.

In addition, even around the stronghold that has been defeated, there may be equipment that devils and puppet soldiers have not had time to take away and bury. ”

Zhang Dabiao's mind spun quickly, and he immediately came back to his senses, "Commander, do you mean that we use the metal detector we brought to find all the weapons that may be buried in the ground for him?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "That's what it means. ”

Zhang Dabiao was dumbfounded and said: "But, regiment leader, if this is buried by our own comrades, isn't it not good?" ”

Li Yunlong glared: "What's wrong?" Lao Tzu doesn't dig, what if he is poached by the returned devils? It's a big deal which of their regiments buried it in the future, as long as the name of this weapon can be reported, and where it is buried, we Lao Li will return it to him. ”

Zhang Dabiao: "......"

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, the head of the regiment said that he was happy to listen to.

The key is that who knows exactly where it is buried?

If you don't admit it, who can do anything to you?

"When we get to the place, first ask the surrounding folks to see where the battle has happened, and then use our metal detector to let the detection team explore around the battlefield to see if we can find the treasure."

Li Yunlong commanded, as if he saw a golden strip to make a fortune.

Then, under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the 1st Battalion of the New 2nd Regiment quickly took action, first crushing the small forces of the Japanese army stranded in the rear in some surrounding villages and towns, and saving the local comrades of the local army and the militia.

Then he led the militia and local army comrades to continue to penetrate into the rear of the Japanese occupation area and capture them everywhere.

And the metal detector that Li Yunlong specially explained also came in handy.

The metal detector ring in front of these metal detectors uses electromagnetic induction to detect metals buried deep underground.

After successfully conquering the towns and villages where there were not many Japanese troops stationed, Li Yunlong led his troops to quickly take down the local maintenance association.

Those traitors really buried the treasure in the ground as Li Yunlong speculated, but Li Yunlong inquired about it, found it with a metal detector, and dug it up.

I have to say that Li Yunlong's way to make a fortune is really amazing.

……

……

On the other side, Wang Leihu and Shen Quan led the troops and ambushed the Japanese troops returning to the reinforcements in the middle.

Less than an hour after the battle began, Ding Wei's new regiment also arrived.

The area where the devil was originally located was in the defense zone of the Iron Triangle, and as soon as the battle started, it was impossible for the little devil to deal with a regiment alone.

The Japanese captain who was flanked by the front and rear was very depressed.

Forget about this independent regiment, where did the troops emerge from in front of you?

What did the sweeping troops in front do to make it easy for these Eighth Route Army to break through?

The reason for this, I am afraid that I have to thank the Independent Regiment for the battle of eliminating the Yamazaki Brigade in Lijiapo.

In the battle of Lijiapo, the Yamazaki brigade was destroyed too suddenly, so that the Japanese command judged that the Eighth Route Army had the strength to quickly eat a brigade of the empire.

After the big sweep, naturally they did not dare to act alone as a combat unit smaller than the brigade level.

In order to be wary of being broken by the Eighth Route Army one by one.

This is like a large net of sweeping the Japanese army towards the Taihang area, and when the Japanese army has limited strength, the larger the combat unit, the larger the mesh.

Once the mesh is large, the fish in the net can easily get out.

The independent regiment is even more absolute.

Directly hid the main force in the mountains, avoided the large net swept by the Japanese army, and then made a fuss in the rear of the Japanese army.

Then the new second regiment broke through.

At present, Ding Wei also led a new group to break out.

The Japanese army swept the large net towards the Taihang area, and when the three regiments of the Iron Triangle were at the gateway where they were located, they were sparsely fragmented, and the troops of the three regiments of the Iron Triangle broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army one after another.

……

Time passed to the second day of the Japanese army's sweep.

On the way back, the Japanese brigade drawn from the independent 4th mixed brigade of the independent regiment, the new 1st regiment and the new 2nd regiment was first ambushed by Shen Quan and Wang Leihu, and then attacked from the back by the new regiment led by Ding Wei.

The Japanese brigade suffered more than a third of the casualties, and retreated all the way to a town in the occupied area, holding out.

The headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi.

Far water can't save the near fire, Taiyuan is too far away from Yangquan, and I don't know when I rush over.

That's why Yoshio Shinozuka asked the Fourth Brigade to send troops back to Yangquan.

At present, the brigade that returned to the reinforcements was beaten by the Eighth Route Army in the rear, and they hid in the town and did not dare to go out.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who learned the news, was furious and ordered the independent mixed into the Fourth Brigade, and then two brigades and a puppet regiment were transferred back to Yangquan.

"Yangquan must not be lost, this involves the face of my great Japanese empire!

Let the Fourth Mixed Brigade immediately return to help, and in addition, the direction of Taiyuan City will hurry up and send reinforcements.

Reinforcements are expected to arrive near Yangquan within two days.

Let the mixed 4th Brigade besiege the troops near the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army, temporarily contain the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment, and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

The other sweeping forces continued to advance. ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff of the First Army, Kitagawa Ayumi, responded and immediately went to arrange for Yoshio Shinozuka's order.

West Village and Zhangjiazhuang.

It was getting dark.

The fighting continued, and in less than two days, the Japanese attacking the two villages were forced to retreat six times.

At present, the Japanese troops attacking the villages on the two roads chose to withdraw from the villages after dark.

As for the reason, just the night before, the troops of the Independent Regiment, which had been forced to defend, launched a night attack after nightfall, taking advantage of their familiarity with the environment of the village, and inflicted a lot of casualties on the Japanese army.

At the moment, the devil is afraid that he will be attacked by the independent group after dark.

After the order of the headquarters of the First Army of Taiyuan City arrived, the commander of the Devil Wing, Ishii Haraichi, and the brigade commander Yamaguchi Shubian were full of helplessness.

This independent mixed 4th Brigade originally drew a brigade to return to the reinforcements.

Now the order from the commander demanded that two brigades be drawn out again.

The independent regiment, which was already difficult to bite, is even more hopeless at the moment.

"Secretly send troops back to help, to beware of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment taking the opportunity to sneak attack, now our troops are getting smaller and smaller, originally wanted to eat the three regiments of the Iron Triangle in one go, but now it seems that it can only be temporarily contained!"

When analyzing the battle situation, Ishii Haraichi said helplessly.

……

Niukou Village.

After the Japanese army transferred troops back to Yangquan that night, the next morning, the attack continued with a significant decrease in intensity.

The fourth battalion commander, Lei Dasheng, and the fifth battalion commander, Du Aiguo, quickly sensed the situation and reported the situation to Kong Jie.

"The devil's offensive intensity has weakened? It is estimated that it is related to the commotion of Shen Quan in the rear, and they immediately sent people to investigate to see if the devils had secretly withdrawn their troops to help. ”

Kong Jie ordered.

Soon, the news reached the regiment headquarters, and Lei Dasheng reported: "Regiment commander, your guess is really good, according to our investigation, the devil at least removed a total of about two brigades from the troops that attacked our independent regiment and the new regiment, plus a regiment of puppet troops, left from around our base area, and it seems that they are returning to the direction of Yangquan." ”

"Once the devil comes to help, I'm worried that Lao Shen will ...... them"

Kong Jie said: "Don't worry, that kid in Shen Quan has a lot of ideas.

Now the main forces of the devils are still in the Taihang area, and there is such a large combat space in the rear, even if they can't beat Shen Quan, they can avoid the devil's reinforcements.

However, we can also help. ”

Lei Dasheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Commander, what are we going to do?" ”

Kong Jie said: "The remaining troops of the devils, the offensive momentum has weakened, it seems that it is because of the return of troops and the lack of manpower, just to contain the troops in our base area."

Then let's just follow his devil's intentions, pretend to be restrained by the little devil, and then secretly transfer troops, through the secret transportation channel, interspersed with the devil's big rear, and go to other directions surrounded by the devil to make trouble! ”

Lei Dasheng said: "Hehe, regiment commander, this is a good idea, I heard that in this anti-sweep, except for the three regiments of our Iron Triangle, the situation of the other troops is not ideal, and the casualties are not small." ”

"Let's take the opportunity to fight over, and we can also reduce a lot of pressure on these brother troops." ……
