501 Attack on Ping'an County
Staying in Luoshan Village, it took a few days, and Shen Wenyue and the three finally found a guerrilla force in the mountains.
It was a guerrilla unit of the New Second Regiment, and there was a Ban Yang soldier about it, and after the two sides met, Zheng Tian quickly introduced his identity.
The squad leader of the guerrillas was suspicious, but when he saw that Zheng Tian and the three of them were few and had no weapons, he did not have too much suspicion, and then led the three to see Han Feng.
The two sides met, Zheng Tian was the squad leader of Han Feng's company before, and Han Feng was the deputy company commander of the company at that time, and the two naturally knew each other.
"Ninth squad leader, why are you here?" Han Feng was puzzled, and the soldiers of the new first and second regiments around him suddenly let down their vigilance, and it turned out that they were really comrades of the independent regiment.
Zheng Tian explained Kong Jie's task of arranging him and Xiao Wu to escort Shen Wenyue all the way to Jinnan.
Han Feng had never seen Shen Wenyue, and after listening to the ins and outs of the matter, he nodded, and looked at Shen Wenyue with some hesitation:
"Are you sure that Reporter Shen wants to stay in our guerrillas?"
Shen Wenyue responded, her gaze resolute.
Han Feng stopped being verbose, and then led the three of them into the deep mountains and old forests.
In a dense mountain forest, Shen Wenyue and the three of them saw the soldiers of the mountain company led by Han Feng and others building a simple triangular camp made of wood in the mountains and forests.
The camps are very hidden, covered with vines and branches, even the devil's reconnaissance plane is difficult to find, coupled with the remoteness, it is no wonder that the Japanese puppet army is difficult to detect again and again.
When Shen Wenyue and the three of them arrived all the way, from time to time, there would be a sentry warrior on the side of the road who was wrapped in vines all over his body, and the green leaves were disguised as undetectable at all, which frightened the three of them.
These warriors simply blended themselves into the surrounding mountain environment.
Xiao Wu admired: "Company commander, are you really eating and living in the mountains?" ”
Han Feng nodded and glanced at the squad leader beside him.
The tacit understanding under the implicit understanding is very good...... Look at Xiao Wu, how sweet his mouth is, his mouth is connected, how like you kid, brainless, one deputy company commander in one mouth.
Han Feng said: "The national army is retreating one after another, the position is basically lost, the Japanese army is now occupying the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the north and south directions of Zhongtiao Mountain are blocked by devils."
It's like a big net closed from both ends, and the devil in the middle is sweeping back and forth, and it hasn't stopped for a day.
Only by hiding in this deep mountain and old forest can we avoid the sweep of the devils again and again, but fortunately, there are many mountains near the Taiyue Mountains, and the woods are dense, and it is not easy for the devils to pull the net if they get in.
The village below the mountain is absolutely afraid to go, and the devil is not stupid, and he may leave an eyeliner in the village.
A few days ago, several guerrillas of the national army entered the village to grab food to eat, but they were ambushed, and more than half of the hundreds of people surrendered, and the rest were wiped out. ”
Shen Wenyue was puzzled: "Then what do you eat every day in this big mountain?" ”
Han Feng said with a smile: "There are too many things to eat, as long as it is not poisonous, it can be put into the stomach, it is just summer, and there are some wild vegetables, tree bark, wild things and so on in the mountains and forests."
In addition, we divided the team into parts, sometimes even divided into a squad, eleven or twelve fighters acted together, and a mountainous area could feed a dozen or so people, which could still be done in a short time.
There are also times when there is a meal, that is when the devils sweep over, some small groups of devils will get lost in the mountains and forests, or leave alone, we take the opportunity to fight an ambush or two, and the captured food is like the New Year. ”
Shen Wenyue said: "Didn't you ask the villagers for help? ”
Han Feng shook his head and said helplessly: "The soil of Zhongtiao Mountain is poor, and the villagers themselves can't eat enough, how can there be extra food to help us?" ”
"In addition, after the outbreak of the Battle of Jinan, the villagers in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain had a more difficult time, bandits, national soldiers, Japanese, whoever entered the village had to grab so many times, and it was nothing new for people to starve to death in the village."
"When the Japanese poured in in large numbers, the enemy was strong and I was weak, and when the devils entered the village, our guerrillas watched from afar, and we were helpless, and we were already sorry for the villagers.
When the remnants of the national army entered the village to grab things, we were helpless, once we fired, we took the initiative to attack friendly troops, creating friction, and we could only watch the villagers suffer. ”
"How can you still have the face to ask the villagers for help?"
Shen Wenyue didn't ask any more questions, but silently made up her mind in her heart that she must find a way to contact her father in the future and secretly deliver some food and materials to the comrades of the guerrillas.
Han Feng didn't mind that there was an extra reporter like Shen Wenyue in the team, and it would be a good thing if the guerrillas' deeds of fighting the Japanese invaders in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain could be published.
In this way, Shen Wenyue temporarily stayed in the guerrillas.
……
……
The other side.
Kong Jie is ready to do a big one.
Not for other places, during this time, as the main force of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi went to fight in southern Shanxi, the Japanese troops who stayed in the northwest of Shanxi were a lot more honest, and took the initiative to switch from attack to defense, and retreated in major county towns and strongholds.
If the little devils do not take the initiative to take action, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which use mountainous areas and villages as guerrilla areas, will lose the huge advantage of using terrain and features to fight ambushes with ease, which is not very easy to do.
After thinking about it and considering various factors, Kong Jie set his sights on Ping'an County, the most famous county in the Bright Sword world.
"Of course, this transaction is not small, we can't do it alone, Lao Li and Lao Kong also have to be notified."
"Otherwise, these two old comrades-in-arms should complain that I eat alone without saying hello."
The news delivered by Kong Jie arrived after the new 1st and 2nd regiments.
If this is the head of another regiment, he will probably scold Kong Jie for going crazy.
At this juncture, the devils have turned from offensive to defensive, and the strongholds of the major counties are being defended to death, coupled with the recent spring sweep, the casualties of the various units of the Eighth Route Army are not small.
It's good that the devil didn't set off a sweep to deal with the base of the Eighth Route Army, but you Kong Jie actually want to take the initiative to attack the county seat?
You have to be clear here that in the current period, the average equipment level and combat effectiveness level of the units of the Eighth Route Army are actually far inferior to those of the independent regiment.
This is like an exam, the independent regiment, as the top student in the Eighth Route Army, scored close to full score.
And the troops further behind, except for the new second regiment, the new first regiment and some main regiments, the other troops that have just been pulled up have not even passed the passing line.
Not to mention the equipment and ammunition for the time being, just in this period, with the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area in the past few years.
With the blockade of the Japanese stronghold and the implementation of political and military control over the villages, the soldiers of these units did not even eat half of the usual food.
Before the battle, in order to maintain their physical strength, the soldiers participating in the battle gnawed a few bites of multigrain cakes that they did not have to eat at all, which was a rare charge food.
Don't underestimate these bites, some of the soldiers who failed to bite these bites, when they launched a charge, as soon as the enemy's guns rang out, they fell to the ground.
You think you got hit by a bullet? No, it was hungry and faint, or it was a lack of nutrition on weekdays, and his steps were vain, and he couldn't withstand the physical exertion of fighting and fell.
In this case, although Kong Jie's independent regiment developed well and helped other regiments a lot, it was still a drop in the bucket.
Later, Kong Jie went to the brigade headquarters, and even to the headquarters, and reported the matter to the brigade commander.
This is a point that Kong Jie has always been worried about, he knows better than anyone that although the Eighth Route Army played a majestic role in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, after the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the Japanese army continued to sweep, including the spring sweep not long ago, and the May Day sweep soon after.
Under the heavy blockade and continuous sweep of the Japanese army, the troops of the Eighth Route Army will usher in an unprecedented difficult period.
In some provinces, a great famine has even directly erupted, leaving the land full of hunger and mourning.
Therefore, Kong Jie has always wanted to alert the brigade commanders and them to engage in production in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, and strive for self-sufficiency.
If you usually have food, you can not panic in case of trouble.
Kong Jie's prediction that the situation in the base areas would become more and more difficult in the future, after reporting to the brigade commander, in view of the fact that the independent regiment's internal production has been impressive for more than a year, the regiment's high-yield potatoes, various crops, and all kinds of foreign trade commodities.
Not to mention more, when other regiments couldn't even eat together, the soldiers of the independent regiment were stunned and raised by Kong Jie to be fat for nothing.
The usual food in the regiment, in the words of the brigade commander, was better than that of the brigade headquarters during the New Year.
The well-informed brigade commander immediately realized the importance of Kong Jie's report, and quite solemnly reported the matter to the headquarters.
Later, after the headquarters issued an order, all units of the Eighth Route Army moved when they heard the news, and on the one hand, they engaged in streamlining the administration of the army and reducing the proportion of the population who were out of work as much as possible.
On the other hand, all regiments are encouraged to engage in large-scale production internally and reclaim wasteland, and the army grows its own crops and subsidizes military rations in addition to training and combat.
During the battle, the troops will base their strongholds, and the captured grain and poultry will also be tried to be planted and raised.
Anyway, most of the troops of the Eighth Route Army were peasants, and they were carrying hoes before the war.
The effect is naturally excellent, not to mention that each regiment can feed the soldiers to the point of being fat and fat like an independent regiment, at least no one starves to death.
……
A new regiment.
Ding Wei is also a bold person, in fact, before Kong Jie's news came, Ding Wei was already thinking about the county, but he has been lacking an opportunity.
After Kong Jie's news came, Ding Dawei was overjoyed, and said with a smile at the regiment headquarters, "This is called the same thing that heroes see." ”
The plans of the two coincided.
Of course, there is also a coincidental idea - to pick up Li Yunlong to fight Ping'an County.
Why?
"How can it be a backpot? Lao Li, who do you think of our Lao Kong? I just have to carry the blame myself, and I can't let your brother carry the blame. ”
After the spring sweep, as more and more telephone lines were seized by the three regiments of the Iron Triangle, telephone calls were connected between the independent regiment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment along the secret transportation channel.
On the phone, Kong Jie was relieved: "Lao Li, don't think about it, this time let your new second regiment be responsible for attacking Ping'an County, this is nothing else, the new second regiment is the closest to Ping'an County, this has a natural geographical advantage, Lao Ding and I will not be reluctant to seek the near and far, and rush over, right?" ”
"I really don't want you to take the blame, if the brigade commander asks, I'll say that the idea came from our old Kong, it's always okay, right?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Yunlong was not easy to fool, just like Lao Li's scolding words, "Kong Er is stunned, you kid don't come to fool me, when Lao Tzu was doing business to feed the whole regiment, you kid was still waiting for the brigade commander to give you relief food!" ”
"I don't care if you don't carry the blame, you and Lao Ding don't work together to calculate, anyway, we Lao Li has a lot of lice on his head, and he is not afraid of itching."
"If the brigade commander really wanted our head, he wouldn't know how many times he would have chopped it off."
"It's just that I have to tell you ahead, our Lao Li doesn't do loss-making business, let our Lao Li take the blame, I have to take the lion's share of the benefits of Ping'an County."
On the other end of the phone, Kong Jie said with a smile: "There is nothing to say, it is your independent regiment that is the main force to fight Ping'an County, and your Lao Li has the greatest credit, and the distribution should be the most." ”
"Lao Ding should not object."
"In addition, don't worry about attacking Ping'an County, I won't let you do it alone, I will let the commandos cooperate with you to fight, take the first step to completely mess up Ping'an County, blow up all the power supply stations and communication stations of the devils, and paralyze them."
Li Yunlong said: "There is another one, besieging Ping'an County, the number of devils is small, and the devil estimates that I don't believe it, the main force of my new second regiment has to stay for reinforcements and eat meat, and it can't be used in the siege."
Your two regiments lent the local troops, as well as the militia units, to the Tun first. ”
Kong Jie said: "Okay." ”
In this way, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have negotiated.
Niukou Village.
Regiment headquarters.
For the next plan to attack the county seat of Ping'an, Kong Jie convened a pre-war military meeting.
At the military meeting, the cadres were also taken aback by Kong Jie's sudden proposal to attack Ping'an County.
"Regiment Commander, not long ago in the spring sweep, the losses of our troops from all sides are not small, will it be too big to attack the county seat at this juncture in front of you?" Shen Quan was the first to raise doubts.
Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, said with a smile: "Recently, the devil has been a shrinking turtle, and the turtle has not been able to shrink, and we can't fight any decent battles. ”
Acting Political Commissar Li Wenjie was a little worried, "Regiment Commander, if we fight the county seat, should we report to our superiors in advance?" ”
Kong Jie said with a smile: "You all think too much, it is true to attack the county seat, but the real purpose is not to attack the county seat, and the scale will not be too large, and even said that it is still within the scope of guerrilla warfare, so there is no need to rush to report to the brigade headquarters." ”
"It's not to fight the county seat for the sake of going to the county seat, regiment commander, what do you mean?" Wang Leihu was puzzled.
Kong Jie said: "It's very simple, as everyone said, after the main force of the devils rushed to Jinnan during this time, the remaining troops were not enough to carry out a sweep of our base area, so the devils simply couldn't hold out." ”
"The main force of the First Army of this devil is not here, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Eighth Route Army, if we can't seize this opportunity, it will be a pity."
"Didn't the devil become a turtle with a shrunken head? Then let's fish out this king, how to fish? Take the county fishing. ”
"Ping'an County is not a military town, and the garrison and defense force are far inferior to a large county like Yangquan. But the military value is still not small, and the most important thing is that the Japanese army will never watch us take a county town, causing his little devil military prestige to be damaged. ”
"As long as we come up with the posture of attacking Ping'an County, the reinforcements from all directions of the devils will definitely rush to the direction of Ping'an County.
As long as the devil goes out of the county seat and stronghold, won't our opportunity come? ”……
