Fighting has just broken out.

The mountain company directly put on a posture of starting a battle and fighting a decisive battle, and the Japanese puppet army defending the city did not suspect that these Eighth Route Army were rushing to take Guhe Town.

The Japanese troops stationed in Furukawa Town panicked, and immediately transmitted the news of the sudden attack on Furukawa Town by the main combat force of the Eighth Route Army to the Japanese troops in all directions.

The general content of the newsletter is:

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army, which is more than a regimental size, has raided Guhe Town, the city gate has been broken, the situation is extremely urgent, and it is urgent to ask for tactical guidance......"

And there is only one squad of devils stationed in Furukawa Town, plus more than 100 people from a puppet army garrison, and more than 60 devils from the gendarmerie.

These Japanese puppet troops, both in terms of strength and firepower, are obviously no match for the mountain company.

Under the fierce attack of the mountain company, the Japanese puppet army continued to retreat to the interior of Furukawa Town.

Trying to rely on the defense of the town, hold out until Japanese reinforcements arrived.

The scale of the Eighth Route Army's sudden attack, the ferocity of its firepower, and its combat effectiveness made the Japanese puppet army in Guhe Town tremble.

This is simply not comparable to some units of the national army that they have encountered.

Outside the town of Furukawa.

Seeing that the city gate had been successfully taken by the soldiers, the Japanese puppet army retreated to Furukawa Town.

The military objective has been achieved.

Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng quickly reached an opinion and issued an order to withdraw the troops.

In this way, at the beginning of the battle, a decisive battle was put on a posture, as if it was going to take down the three mountain companies of Guhe Town in one go.

It comes like a tide, and retreats like a tide.

The Japanese puppet army in Furukawa Town was also caught off guard by this, and it was not until the mountain company retreated for a long time that the devil puppet army dared to try to reoccupy the city gate.

When the reinforcements of the two brigades that the Japanese army quickly drew from the neighboring county town arrived, they were already empty, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army were no longer visible.

"Yaga, what's going on? What about the main force of the Eighth Route Army that appeared here? ”

Looking at the devastated image of the war at the gate of Guhe Town, the corpses of the Japanese army and the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army that could be seen everywhere, a devil captain who led the team to come asked with a shout.

The captain of the gendarmerie of Guhe Town replied: "Sir, after the troops of the Eighth Route Army took the position of the city gate, our department relied on the buildings in the town to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army. ”

The captain of the devil brigade nodded and asked, "How many people are there in this Eighth Route Force, and what is the equipment?" ”

The captain of the gendarmerie replied: "There are a lot of people, like a river, and they should be more than two thousand." ”

"They are quite well armed, with machine guns, grenadiers, submachine guns, and even some light guns of small calibers."

"Their military uniforms are quite uniform, each soldier has a gun in his hand, and even wears military boots, which is definitely the main combat force of the Eighth Road!"

The captain of the devil brigade listened to it and thought in silence.

What he can't figure out now is.

First, after the disastrous defeat of the Nationalist army in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the imperial troops carried out a grate-like sweep back and forth in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain, and a large number of remaining national guerrillas in the mountainous area were eliminated or absorbed.

According to the information gathered, I have never heard of such a main combat regiment of the Eighth Route Army with more than 2,000 troops in Zhongtiao Mountain.

It's incredible, how exactly did this Eighth Route Army unit survive the sweeps of the empire again and again?

And it's such a large-scale combat unit.

Second, as a border town, this Guhe Town does not have any major strategic use.

Why did the Eighth Route Army use such a large scale to raid Guhe Town?

And just after taking the city gate position, then immediately after evacuating?

Isn't this a thankless waste of their limited ammunition and a revelation of their strength?

The captain of the devil team couldn't figure it out, and he didn't think much about it, but just passed the news back.

It was just a main regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which was a little troublesome, but it was not enough to affect the security of the imperial troops.

The headquarters of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army, stationed in Linfen, southern Jinnan, was the first to learn the news that a main force of the Eighth Route Army with more than 2,000 troops appeared near Guhe Town.

When the news came, the 41st Division had received an order from its superiors only a day earlier.

With the end of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the two group armies of the Central Army of the National Army, which were originally in Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Jin, were defeated and retreated to the south of the Yellow River.

The 41st Division, which was used to clamp down on the base area of the Zhongtiao Mountain National Army, could also be freed up.

Preparations were being made to reinforce in the direction of Taiyuan in accordance with the orders of the superiors.

Use the accumulated strength to eliminate the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area.

As a result, there was such a thing.

The Japanese army has done its homework on the strength of the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese intelligence department has also listed a list of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army.

Among them, the combat effectiveness of the elite main combat units of the Eighth Route Army, according to the division of the Japanese army, is listed in the first echelon of the Chinese army.

Even above the Central Army.

At present, a main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared in the area of Guhe Town, Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Japanese army did not dare to let it go.

In addition, the humiliating defeat of the national army in Zhongtiao Mountain is eyeing the tiger, and there are still some national army guerrillas in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the occupied areas also need public security.

On the side of the Japanese higher command, the order was then issued.

Let the 41st Division send troops to the Guhe Town area to investigate the specific situation.

Prevent the emergence of this Eighth Route Army from causing chaos.

Once the traces of the other party are discovered, they will immediately carry out encirclement and suppression, and this Eighth Route Army must be completely wiped out.

The devils and senior officers in the command headquarters were also a little panicked.

At present, preparations are being made to transfer the three divisions that are staring at Zhongtiao Mountain to the direction of Taiyuan to attack the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area.

But you can't always press the gourd to get up the scoop.

The Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountain area has not been eradicated!

If you let this cunning eight roads run to Zhongtiao Mountain and take the opportunity to open up a base area, it will be more than worth the loss.

In the words of the commander of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Linfen:

"The troops of the Eighth Route Army are really cunning, and every place we occupy, in some surrounding mountainous areas, there are always guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army who are the first to emerge.

Immediately after that, they gradually opened up their bases, and then used the mountains and the vast villages in the vicinity to fight against the troops of our empire.

This mode of infiltration and confrontation will sooner or later drag down the imperial forces! ”

"This sprout must be strangled in the cradle, and Zhongtiao Mountain must not become another base of the Eighth Route Army after Taihang and Taiyue."

"These dirt roads running around in the mountains are much more difficult to deal with than the national army that is rigid in combat and blindly confronts our imperial troops."

……

……

Shortly after the battle in Furukawa ended, the sky came to an end, and night replaced day.

Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng ordered a quick count of casualties.

The wounded comrades temporarily stayed near Furukawa Village to fight guerrilla warfare and pin down the Japanese army.

The fallen soldiers were buried on the spot, and the soldiers took off their hats to mourn, and with a heavy heart in their hearts, they turned all this into a stronger determination and fearless courage.

After making all the preparations, the three mountains were covered with stars and moons and embarked on the trip again.

The first stop, before dawn, arrived at Qingshan Village from Guhe Village, and marched nearly 80 kilometers all the way.

And at the dawn of Tianma, he launched an attack on the Japanese county seat in the area of Qinghe Village.

When the repaired soldiers set out from Furukawa Village, they were in good spirits.

Everyone hurried overnight, taking the mountain path from Guhe Village to Qingshan Village that the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon had opened in advance.

A rapid march all the way.

The warriors were basically trotting forward.

Considering the physical consumption of the soldiers, Han Feng and the three of them ordered a short rest every almost two hours on the way to lead the team.

Fortunately, the sky is beautiful, the moon and stars are scarce tonight, and the mountain road can be seen.

It seems that he also wants to help witness the miracle of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army running out with two feet.

Of course, the road was not all smooth sailing, and while passing some steep mountain roads, some warriors accidentally fell off the cliffs.

Dozens of meters high cliffs, people fall, how can there be any life?

In order to achieve the purpose of this operation, the non-combat attrition caused by the rapid march at night is the most heart-wrenching.

The team didn't stop, just fell silent.

The instructor shouted with red eyes: "Comrades, not stopping at this moment and speeding up the pace is the best reward for these comrades who sacrificed heroically!" ”

"We've taken this step, and there's no turning back."

"Bear with it, grit your teeth, when you are hungry, take out the nutritious rations and nibble on two bites, and then insist on it, you will arrive at Qingshan Village!"

With grief and determination, the warriors moved a little faster.

The night was silent.

It is true that the warriors are not afraid of difficult marches, and the ravines are only idle at night.

All the hardships are swallowed in the stomach by faith.

The warriors trotted with their heads buried in their hearts, and there was only one belief in their hearts:

Keep up, keep up with the team, and never be left behind!

The instructor said, it's almost there, it's almost there!

The veterans of the mountain company had nothing to say.

It has only been less than a month since joining the mountains.

There are also soldiers of the national army, who are also roaring in their hearts and persevering.

They themselves are sometimes confused in their hearts.

Since when did the former self who couldn't even look down on himself burst out with such courage and will?

…… Until about 5 a.m. the next day.

The three mountain company teams finally arrived at Qingshan Village from Guhe Village, and it took only one night.

After a short rest, the fighters took out nutritious rations to replenish their physical energy, and raised water bladders to fill a few sips.

When the sky is between the light and the day.

The area around Castle Peak Village.

Three mountain companies suddenly appeared near the county seat.

What followed was the same as the battle for the town of Furukawa.

Under the bright sky, the main combat regiment of the Eighth Route Army attacked in a big way.

This time, some heavy machine guns and mortars that had been temporarily stored in the mountains of Qingshan Village were added, and the fire was even more ferocious than when attacking Guhe Town.

The city gate fortifications in the county town of Devils were almost blown down.

When the news reached the Japanese command, the devil officers were completely dumbfounded.

In the middle of Zhongtiao Mountain, why did the main combat regiment of the Eighth Route Army emerge again?
