Nakajo Mountain area.

What puzzled the devil officers was that according to their intelligence, although it was not clear how many troops of the Eighth Route Army had infiltrated in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

But the number should not be small.

After all, there had been three main combat regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain before, with a total number of more than 6,000 people.

After that, Kong Jie's first detachment sent a large number of troops south.

For this reason, some Japanese staff officers even believed that in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, there may already be nearly 10,000 main forces of the Eighth Route Army.

If you add the non-main combat forces, the number will be even higher.

This made the little devils feel a lot of pressure.

At the beginning, after the Japanese army swept the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area, it suddenly switched its troops to attack Zhongtiao Mountain, just to open up the north-south passage on the battlefield against the center.

Zhongtiao Mountain is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, the terrain is steep, choking the north-south passage, and has always been a headache for the Japanese army.

After that, the Japanese army relied on merchants to smuggle with the national army, and thoroughly felt the defense of the national army in the Zhongtiao Mountain base area.

The information of the entire Nakajo Mountain seemed to be transparent to the little devil.

In addition, the main general of the national army stationed at Zhongtiao Mountain was replaced, and the Japanese army took the opportunity to combine many advantageous factors and sent troops to take Zhongtiao Mountain in one fell swoop.

The national army won the most humiliating defeat since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

However, this drove out the Central Army, and if the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to infiltrate and occupy Zhongtiao Mountain.

The Eighth Route Army was difficult for the Japanese army.

It's like driving away the jackals and the tigers again.

I'm afraid the little devil will have more headaches.

The Japanese army wanted to continue to move south, attacking the city and plundering the land, and once the supply line of Zhongtiao Mountain, which was the necessary passage of the north-south passage, was cut off by the Eighth Route Army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The commander of the devil, Yoshio Shinozuka, was thinking of the heat, so he repeatedly ordered that the 47th and 41st divisions must wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the area of Nakajo Mountain.

To this end, the Japanese army that agreed on a temporary armistice with the Eighth Route Army.

Secretly built fortifications, mobilized troops, and strengthened the vigilance of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang and Taiyue base areas.

In order to block the southward movement of the Eighth Route Army at any time, make room and time for the 47th and 41st Divisions, and focus on dealing with the Eighth Route Army troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

But who would have thought?

The result of this sweep after another sweep surprised everyone.

The main combat force of the Eighth Route Army, which the Japanese army thought had infiltrated the area of Zhongtiao Mountain and perhaps had nearly 10,000 people, actually seemed to have evaporated from the world in the sweeps again and again.

In addition to the outbreak of local operations in some areas on the way to the sweep, the Japanese encountered some small groups of guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

The devil spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the entire Zhongtiao Mountain.

It did not surround any of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army.

A team of nearly 10,000 people, that is not a small target, can actually avoid this layer of sweeping nets?

What a hell of a life!

"Could it be that there are not as many eight roads in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain as we predicted?"

Under several sweeps, apart from encountering some small groups of guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army, which withdrew as soon as they were beaten, the Japanese army found nothing, and some devil officers who participated in the sweeps raised doubts.

But no high-level devil officer wanted to believe that not long ago, the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army went south with great fanfare to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain.

He even did not hesitate to engage in a head-to-head confrontation and contest with the Japanese Empire.

Is it just a false pretense?

But where are the main combat regiments of the Eighth Route Army, which once came to the fore, in the middle of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the three main combat regiments of the Eighth Route Army that appeared at both ends?

Where are the reinforcements sent south by Kong Jie again and again?

Is it a false pretense that there are not so many eight roads in the Nakajo Mountain area, or are these eight roads too good at hiding, so they avoid sweeping again and again?

The Japanese command was convenient, and it was a little difficult to figure it out for a while.

……

Nakajo Mountain.

After Wang Huaibao, commander of the Fourth Independent Regiment of the First Detachment in Northwest Shanxi Province, led the team to arrive in the vast guerrilla area.

The scattered teams of the Eighth Route Army reunited in the planned deep mountainous area as agreed.

It turned out that in the face of the sweeps set off by the Japanese army again and again.

Wang Huaibao, commander of the Fourth Regiment, immediately ordered the four battalions of the regiment to be divided into parts, and the company and platoon were used as combat units to find the gaps in the Japanese army's sweeping net and jump out of the encirclement.

In fact, Wang Huaibao's four regiments had only more than 1,000 troops.

Coupled with Han Feng's four battalions, the original mountain even all the teams together, there were only more than 2,000 people.

This is too far from the nearly 10,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army judged by the Japanese army.

When the Japanese army carried out a large-scale sweep in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain, considering that there might be a large number of main forces of the Eighth Route Army in Zhongtiao Mountain, they did not dare to use too small a team as a separate sweeping unit.

Basically, at least the Japanese squadron, or even a larger team, was used as an independent sweeping point to cast a wide net.

In addition, the troops sent by Kong Jie constantly attacked and harassed the Japanese defense line in Jinnan.

The devil also divided his troops and stayed behind to garrison, and there were not too many sweeping troops that could be sent, and the mesh was relatively large.

After the four regiments were reduced to zero, the combat units in companies and platoons easily jumped out of the encirclement of the devils through the mesh.

Some of the accidents that were hit by the devils were broken out after a local scattered battle.

This is the only result of the sweeps launched by the Japanese army again and again.

In the face of Wang Huaibao's outstanding anti-sweeping command, the soldiers who joined the Fourth Regiment from the guerrillas of the Nationalist Army were deeply moved by this.

The platoon commander of the former National Army sighed: "This style of play of our Eighth Route Army is the essence of guerrilla warfare, and if the large number of guerrillas of the National Army who remained in Zhongtiao Mountain at the beginning can realize this, if the commander can skillfully use guerrilla tactics like our regiment commander."

The guerrillas of the national army would not have been exterminated or captured by the devils in such a short period of time. ”

Soon after the four regiments reunited, Han Feng reported to Wang Huaibao:

"Regiment Commander, our peripheral comrades have received news that the old regiment commander has sent a transport team from the secret transportation channel."

The cadres were immediately overjoyed, and every time Kong Jie sent a transport team over, he would always send a lot of good things, and there was no shortage of daily necessities, equipment, and ammunition.

For this reason, some of the people who were abducted and trafficked to join the Fourth Independent Regiment were Zhang Min, the former commander of the mountain company of the New First Regiment, and Du Zhongcheng, the commander of the mountain company of the New Second Regiment.

At first, I was depressed, and I was a little unhappy.

Then, the convoy of the independent regiment came over again and again.

There are too many good things to count, and they are much better than the life and equipment of Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng who led the troops in the regiment before.

Han Feng asked with a smile: "Comrades, guess what good things the old head has sent us this time?" ”

Dozens of minutes later, the convoy sent by Kong Jie arrived.

The two sides met smoothly.

...... "I'm a mother, all brand new M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, the old regiment commander has made a fortune again!" ”

Holding the Garand rifle in his hand, Han Feng, who couldn't put it down, was pleasantly surprised.

The tarpaulin was flipped open, and carts of brand-new American rifles were truckloaded.

Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng on the side were directly stunned, reacted, and hurriedly rushed up, hugged each other, and played with it in their hands.

This was the first time the two had touched a semi-automatic rifle.

"It's heavier than a conventional rifle, and the texture is different to the touch, obediently, with a capacity of eight bullets, you can shoot continuously by pulling the trigger, which is much better than the devil's 38 big gayer!"

Zhang Min said while groping.

Du Zhongcheng's eyes lit up on the side, "Good thing, I heard that this Garand rifle was in the hands of the elite of the Central Army, and I bought it from the Yankees, but I have never really seen it, and now it is a long insight." ”

As he spoke, he held the rifle in his hand and was stunned.

Han Feng deliberately said: "Yo, isn't this Company Commander Zhang of the new first regiment and Company Commander Du of the new second regiment?" Why don't you let go of the rifles of our separate regiments? ”

Zhang Min's mouth grinned, and he said happily: "It doesn't matter what regiment he is, Lao Han, just rush at this batch of Garand rifles, hehe, in the future, our old Zhang Na will be a soldier of the Independent Regiment in life, and he will be a ghost of the Independent Regiment in death!" ”

"Yes, that's a must!" Du Zhongcheng echoed.

He then shouted: "Don't rob anyone from me, this batch belongs to our battalion!" ”

Wang Huaibao watched quietly from the side, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This is the charm of the old independent group!

The fighters were immersed in this batch of semi-automatic rifles in their hands, and it took a while to come to their senses.

Zhang Min didn't let go and hugged an M1 Garand, and looked at the company commander in charge of the transportation: "Company Commander Meng, I said that our detachment leader has made some money?" ”

"Good fellows, a whole 900 Garand rifles!"

Company Commander Meng looked at Zhang Min and his party with envy, and replied angrily:

"Don't mention it, it's a batch of arms that the regiment commander bought back from the Yankees, but the quantity is very limited, just this little thing, the detachment left 300, and the rest were all sent to your four regiments."

"Because of the remaining 300 Garand rifles in the regiment, they are all about to fight, you guys are good, almost everyone has one."

"It's really more popular than people, I knew that I also applied to lead a team to your Zhongtiao Mountain."

Seeing the commander of the transport company with a depressed face, he took the transport team and pulled the empty cart away.

Zhang Min and his entourage didn't come back to their senses for a while.

"Regiment leader, emotional detachment leader, this is to send all the good things to our regiment!"

But I saw that Wang Huaibao, the fourth head of the regiment, nodded indifferently, with a profound appearance that everything was as I expected.

He spoke slowly and asked several battalion commanders around him: "The enemy situation in Zhongtiao Mountain is dangerous, but there are also more development opportunities, and the number of battles with the Japanese army will be more frequent.

I know that before I came to Zhongtiao Mountain to fight this time, several regiment commanders were about to break through, but why did our old regiment commander choose to let me come? ”

The battalion commanders shook their heads in bewilderment.

Wang Huaibao said: "Because among our group leaders, my personality is most similar to our old group leader." ”

"Isn't it, Captain, because of this?" Some battalion commanders were puzzled.

Wang Huaibao said: "Naturally, there is a reason, the environment of the Zhongtiao Mountain team is precipitous, our old head is cautious, if it is really to ensure success, if possible, the old head will even personally lead the team to Zhongtiao Mountain." ”

"But at the moment, the base camp still needs the old head to sit in charge, so the old head has to choose me who is most similar to his personality to lead the team."

What is the rationale behind this? It seems that the old regiment leader believes in my ability, but it is better to say that the old regiment leader believes in the ability brought by his own character! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Huaibao paused and said with a smile:

"Look, where is this equipment?"

"The so-called indisputable is fighting, we opened up an anti-Japanese revolutionary base in Zhongtiao Mountain, the beginning was the most difficult, plus we only have a regimental team, the old regiment commander must be worried!

In the future, if there are any good things and good equipment in the base area, the old regiment commander will send them to our four regiments as soon as possible. ”

When we were there, needless to say, Lei Hu and Lao Shen couldn't compete with us, and the key was that they didn't notice us at all.

Completely free from the competition!

When we weren't there, they couldn't compete with us.

Wait until Lao Shen and the others react.

Due to the complexity of the anti-Japanese war environment in Zhongtiao Mountain, the development speed of our Fourth Regiment was designated to be much faster than that of the Second and Third Regiments.

This is great wisdom!

It's really high mountain Ankeyang, and the master is in the south.

Han Feng and other cadres all cast admiring glances at their own head Wang Huaibao......
