Operations in the area of Aoyama Village.

Three mountain companies used heavy machine guns and mortars already stored here to fire more intensely.

The militia around Qingshan Village and many people who volunteered to help were communicated early in the morning.

Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng led a team from Guhe Village, interspersed nearly 80 kilometers in one night, and rushed to Qingshan Village.

After resting for less than half an hour, the team, with the help of the militia and civilians in the vicinity of Qingshan Village, launched an attack on the established Japanese military county.

The battle near dawn came too suddenly, and the Japanese puppet army defending the city was caught off guard.

Coupled with the fact that the firepower of one side of the mountain is really fierce.

When the battle first broke out, the devils and the puppet army thought that the elite of the national army had returned to Zhongtiao Mountain.

Then I took a closer look at it with the help of the faint sky, and found that it was a large number of combat troops of the Eighth Route Army.

While the Japanese troops defending the city struggled to hold the position at the city gate, they reported the situation to the Japanese higher command as soon as possible.

The content of the intelligence was not alarmist, and it was stated at the time:

The main combat force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared under the city gate and showed strong firepower to attack the county seat.

The strength of the army was estimated at two or three thousand.

When the news reached the higher-level headquarters of the Japanese army, the devil officers were all stunned.

They didn't care to consider why there was such a Eighth Route Army unit near Qingshan Village because there was only one main combat regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the area of Guhe Town.

The Japanese army hurriedly dispatched reinforcements to the direction of the county seat.

It turns out to be a reenactment of the history of the Furukawa area.

By the time several Japanese reinforcements arrived at the county seat, the three mountain companies had already withdrawn without a trace.

On the morning of the same day, the sky was completely bright, and the news that the Eighth Route Army made a large-scale sortie, first attacking Guhe Town, and then sneaking into the county seat around Qingshan Village.

The headquarters of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army in Linfen.

Kenichi Yamato, the commander of the Devil's Division, immediately received an order from his superiors, asking his 41st Division to not only explore the Eighth Route Army in the area of Guhe Town, but also explore the troops of the Eighth Route Army operating in the mountainous area around Qingshan Village.

Find out the situation of the Eighth Route Army troops who suddenly attacked the county seat in the occupied area in the vicinity of Qingshan Village.

Kenichi Yamato had a headache over this.

First there was Guhe Town, and then there was Qingshan Village.

The two places were nearly 80 kilometers apart, and suddenly two main combat regiments of the Eighth Route Army appeared.

How many dirt roads are hidden in this mountainous area?

His 41st Division was originally responsible for the security of Linfen and the surrounding area, and used up a lot of troops.

If you garrison troops to guard against the Eighth Route Army in the area of Guhe Town and Qingshan Village.

His 41st Division was lacking in skills, and he would no longer have any extra troops, so he went to the direction of Taiyuan to attack the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area.

The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is very strong, which is not reflected in their equipment, even if it is relatively backward equipment, in the impression of the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army can still exert a strong force.

So the main combat regiment of the Eighth Route Army of two or three thousand people.

Kenichi Yamato also did not dare to be careless, and believed that at least two to three times the number of troops must be dispatched to be sure to enter the mountains and encircle and suppress these Eighth Route Army.

After receiving the order from the superiors, the 41st Division immediately sent reinforcements.

In the area of Guhe Town and Qingshan Village, the 41st Regiment Division each sent two wings to station, which were responsible for maintaining local law and order, and entered the mountainous areas to encircle and suppress the two main combat regiments of the Eighth Route Army.

The transfer of these two wings has already used up nearly half of the strength of the 41st Division.

In addition, it is necessary to maintain law and order in the Linfen area.

Kenichi Yamato smiled bitterly, it seems that the matter of rushing to the direction of Taiyuan to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area is afraid that it will not be his turn.

Most of the Nakajo Mountains will be handed over to his 41st Division.

Next, only the 36th Division of Changzhi and the 47th Division of Yuncheng can be transferred to the direction of Taiyuan.

Castle Peak Village.

After the battle of the feint attack on the county seat was over, the soldiers rested for a while, and then rushed to the direction of Dashu Village without stopping.

Starting from Furukawa Village, after a whole night of running, plus two battles that quickly unfolded.

Even if the fighters were iron, they were actually quite tired.

After staying up all night, his eyes were red and covered with horrible bloodshots.

Rushing all night, the exhaustion of the battle made the soldiers' heads a little dizzy.

Departing from Qingshan Village, on the way to Dashu Village.

In the words of Zhang Min, commander of the second mountain company: "The greatest happiness now is the kind that lies quietly on the ground and never has to move again!" ”

During the long-distance attack, even if they were wearing more comfortable field military boots, many soldiers still had blood blisters on their feet.

When they took a break, the soldiers took off their military boots and wanted to breathe their feet, and the breathable thin socks produced by the independent regiment quilt factory were all stuck to the blood blisters, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and they couldn't pull them off.

Han Feng's condition was also not much better, with two or three large blisters on the soles of his feet.

Although the soldiers of the Mountain Company have honed their physical fitness quite well, such a long-distance continuous attack is unprecedented for everyone.

During the break, the instructor panted in front and said loudly:

"Comrades, how is it, are you tired?"

"Not tired—"

As long as you say that you are not tired, then the designation is a lie.

But the instructors all asked so, and the soldiers who refused to admit defeat still replied in twos and threes.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at Dashu Village, no soldier was willing to be left behind halfway.

"Comrades, if you insist on persevering, you will soon arrive at Dashu Village, which is about to succeed, and giving up now means that we have run more than 100 kilometers in vain, which is called failure and is the most pity."

The instructor continued:

"Let me tell you some biological common sense about human physical fitness, you are tired at the moment, right? Let me tell you, in fact, these exhaustions are more spiritual than physical. ”

"What do you mean? In fact, your body can continue to persevere, but if you are cowardly, you want to be lazy, you have to admit defeat, at this time you will feel more and more tired, and you don't want to move your feet. ”

"But if your willpower is tough enough, then you can even push the limits of your body with your tenacious willpower."

Han Feng said with a smile: "Comrades, what our instructor said is right, in our independent regiment, when the regiment commander trained the commando members, he constantly let them break through their physical training. ”

"Today is five kilometers, tomorrow is six kilometers, the day after tomorrow is ten kilometers, little by little to break through everyone's physical limit, when the real physical limit and break through again, everyone will feel more and more relaxed."

"The meaning is very simple, everyone continues to grit their teeth and insist on running forward, maybe when the body is tired to the limit, suddenly no longer feel tired, or even feel very relaxed and comfortable, congratulations, at this time you have broken through your physical limits."

After laughing for a while, everyone started again.

There seemed to be echoes in his mind the previous words of Han Feng and the instructor.

The soldiers gritted their teeth and continued to persevere, trying to break through the physical limits that the company commander had said.

When the most tormenting time on the rapid march, a platoon commander suddenly said with excitement on his face:

"Hey, company commander, that's weird, I was almost ...... just now I couldn't hold on, and this suddenly ...... I felt lighter, and even the blisters on my feet ...... I don't seem to feel it...... It hurts. ”

"Am I supposed to ...... You've already broken through your physical limits, right? ”

Han Feng also gasped and replied, "It looks like ...... It's like this, only willpower...... The toughest warrior...... in order to break through the limits of their physical fitness. ”

As soon as the other platoon commanders heard this, how could anyone be willing to admit defeat, bury their heads and continue to persevere.

The warriors also wanted to prove themselves by pushing the limits of their physical abilities, and the otherwise boring march seemed to become more interesting because of the addition of a sacred purpose.

With the guidance of interest, the long-distance run seems to be a little easier.

Du Zhongcheng, the company commander of the third mountain company, even shouted that he wanted to compete with the first and second companies:

"The comrades of the third company have listened to me, the rabbit cubs of the first and second companies are almost unable to hold on, let's compare them!"

Roar Roar Roar –

The soldiers of the Third Company became excited, and even the pace on their feet was a little faster.

As soon as the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd companies heard this, they paid back.

In this way, the long-distance run, which was originally exhausting and painful, turned out to be a competition between the three mountain companies.

The warriors seem to have been beaten with blood, and they have tried their best to stimulate their every bit of potential.

At about 7:20 p.m. that day, when the sun was about to set in the western mountains.

After almost thirteen hours of rapid marching.

With an unusually heavy pace, some soldiers who really couldn't hold on were supported by their companions, and the three mountain companies were miraculously rushed to the area of Dashu Village without anyone being left behind.

Originally, the nutritious rations that everyone had been given when they set off had already been eaten.

I only heard the empty bellies of the soldiers screaming one by one.

The kettle I was carrying had already drunk the bottom, and I couldn't lick the water stains when I licked it.

At a glance, the soldiers' lips were chapped from extreme dehydration.

When they arrived at the tree and took a short rest, the villagers brought sweet well water to the warriors.

Han Feng, who had learned in the medical general knowledge class offered by the independent regiment, ordered.

Each fighter could only drink a small amount of water slowly.

In order to prevent sudden drinking of large amounts of water when close to dehydration, which may lead to physical problems.

After resting for more than twenty minutes, the warriors recovered a little, and the sun had completely set in the western mountains, and it was the last twilight before night.

"Let's go!"

Han Feng opened his mouth, and there was no extra half a word, and the soldiers who were originally repairing became resolute one by one, and they helped each other to get up from the ground.

Running for more than a hundred miles, fighting in three places, for this last moment.

"Fire!"

Boom –

Three 60 mortars opened fire together, exploding on the top of the county town of Devil in the area of Dashu Village, and the sound of artillery was mixed with the sound of gunfire and the shouts of killing that still broke out under the exhaustion of the soldiers.

Under the shocked judgment of the Japanese puppet army defending the city, the main force of the Eighth Route Army, with more than 2,000 people, launched a fierce attack on the county seat.

The headquarters of the 41st Regiment of the Japanese Army.

The division commander Kenichi Yamato once again received news that in the area of Dashu Village, a main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared and attacked the county seat.

This old devil was stupid at that time.

"Guhe Town, Qingshan Village, Dashu Village, Baga, how many Eight Roads are there? Didn't you stab the eight-way nest? ”……
