Eight Roads still dare to resist?

Hearing the news, the commander of the 36th Division, Jing Guancheng, narrowed his eyes and his expression was indescribable.

He received an order to occupy the three county towns of Heyuan, Ping'an, and Anhua, and to monitor the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

However, in Jing Guancheng's view, using an entire division to monitor a regiment of the Eighth Route Army is simply like a cannon to fight mosquitoes.

Use a steam engine to crack nuts.

If the supplies are sufficient, the 36th Division only needs to launch a wave of sweeps, and it will soon be able to completely wipe out the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

No matter how much Li Yunlong and his new regiment can fight, there is only one regiment.

Could it be that an elite division of the Imperial Army can't even deal with a regiment of the Eighth Route Army?

However, Iwamatsu Yoshio's order was very clear, only the 36th Division was to monitor the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and wait for the collection of materials and mobilization of troops to completely solve it.

But Jing Guan felt that the new group was a little ignorant.

I don't use troops against you on a large scale, and you dare to stay in Dagu Town and not leave?

"Map!" Jing Guan shouted without looking back.

An operational staff officer hurriedly brought a map and spread it out in front of Jing Guan.

Jing Guan's eyes sank and he looked at the map.

Ishikawa Jisui, chief of staff of the 36th Division on the side, pointed to the map and said:

"Your Excellency Commander, judging from the map, the location of Dagu Town is very important, it can be attacked and retreated, and it can be defended, and after taking here, you can launch a sweeping operation at any time and attack the Eighth Route Base Area."

Jing Guanqian nodded, feeling the same way.

The Japanese occupation of Dagu Town was equivalent to driving a nail into the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

It not only divides the territory of the Eighth Route Army, but also makes the Eighth Route Army like a fish in the throat and a man's back.

Although the commander of the First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio, did not allow the 36th Division to attack the base area of the Eighth Route Army on a large scale, he did not say that it was not allowed to occupy the towns around the county seat.

At that moment, Jing Guan ordered "Order the 222nd Wing and the 36th Mountain Artillery Wing to immediately capture Dagu Town!" ”

"Hey!"

Ishikawa turned and walked towards the communications team.

With the order of Jingguancheng, the 222nd Wing, which had just entered Anhua County, and the 36th Wing, which had just entered Heyuan County, quickly went out of the city and rushed towards Dagu Town.

……

Zhaojiayu Village.

The new regimental headquarters.

"A devil infantry wing and an artillery wing are rushing towards Dagu Town?"

Li Yunlong received the information, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

If people lose land, people and land will survive.

Although the troops of the new regiment withdrew from the county seat, they left an intelligence system equipped with a radio station in the county seat, and the regimental headquarters of the new regiment would soon know what the devils were doing.

Not long ago, a battalion stationed in Dagu Town reported that a brigade of devils tried to occupy Dagu Town, but was repelled by the 1st battalion.

He didn't expect that the devil would not give up, and he actually dispatched an infantry wing and an artillery wing in an attempt to occupy Dagu Town.

Hearing this news, Li Yunlong was also a little angry.

Is the devil floating, or am I Li Yunlong unable to lift the knife?

Don't the devils know that it was the famous Li Yunlong's troops who occupied Dagu Town?

Zhao Gang stared at the map analysis, and his tone was a little solemn: "The place of Dagu Town is very important to the base of our new group, and it must not be easily given to the devils." ”

Dagu Town is only about 10 kilometers away from Zhaojiayu Village.

If the new group doesn't have these belongings now, it won't be a big problem to give up Dagu Town to the devils.

After all, there is no belongings, and when the devils sweep away, the new regiment organizes the masses to clear the wilderness, fight guerrilla warfare with the devils, and look for fighters in the sports war.

But now the new regiment has not only an airfield, but also 19 150-mm guns, 21 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, as well as more than 100 vehicles, grain depots and ammunition depots.

The airport has just been repaired, and we must not give up easily.

The kilometers of the base area have just begun to be repaired, and the 150-mm heavy guns and 37-mm anti-aircraft guns are not easy to maneuver and transfer quickly.

Once the devils occupy Dagu Town, and suddenly invade the base area with Dagu Town, the new group will not be able to react at that time.

Therefore, the place of Dagu Town must not be given to devils.

"Then beat him up as a son of a bitch!"

Li Yunlong slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily: "If you want to insert nails into the territory of labor and management, then labor and management will let the little devil take a look, how many eyes does Lord Ma have." ”

"Pass my order, the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, 4th Battalion, 1st Artillery Battalion and 2nd Artillery Battalion, Heavy Machine Gun Battalion, Machine Gun Battalion and Air Defense Battalion immediately assemble!"

Xing Zhiguo was taken aback, and immediately persuaded: "Regiment commander, after all, this is broad daylight, and if two artillery battalions are dispatched, I am afraid that it will attract devils' planes." ”

"Could it be that if there is a devil plane, there will be no war?" Li Yunlong said loudly, "Besides, the labor-management heavy machine gun battalion, machine gun battalion, and air defense battalion eat dry food? Labor and management are still afraid that the devil's plane will not come. ”

Xing Zhiguo said again: "Regiment commander, this is too hasty, it will move the whole body, what if the whole division of the 36th Division of the devil presses up, we don't know the bottom of our hearts, no matter what, we have to ask the new second regiment and the independent regiment to support." ”

At present, although the new regiment is strong in combat, its firepower is also very strong, and its ammunition is sufficient.

However, compared to the entire division of the Japanese army, the strength was still insufficient.

Even if it can win the war, it is estimated that it will be a miserable victory, and the new regiment is estimated to have suffered more than half of the casualties, wounding 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of itself.

Li Yunlong said lightly: "We don't have the right to transfer the troops of friendly neighbors, it's okay to notify us, just say that our new group is drinking wine and eating meat, if anyone looks greedy, come over and eat together, if you don't come, forget it, we are not afraid to hold on, as many meters as big a pot can be dropped, our new group is enough!" ”

Zhao Gang said: "But we also have to prepare for the fortified wall and clear the wilderness, once the Japanese army in Taiyuan, Datong and Xinzhou and other places are reinforced, then our pressure will be too great, there is no need to put the entire new regiment into it for the position of Dagu Town." ”

"What Lao Zhao said makes sense." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "On the one hand, we must dare to show our swords, and on the other hand, we must be prepared for the reinforcements of the devils." ”

"In this way, we have a clear division of labor."

"I led the main force to fight the devils in Dagu Town, Lao Zhao, you lead the militia to prepare for the fortification and clearing, and be ready to evacuate at any time."

Zhao Gang nodded: "Okay!" ”

After that, Li Yunlong said to Wang Dehou: "Chief of Staff Wang, immediately report the battle plan of our new 1st Regiment to the headquarters, and inform the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment, saying that we have a fortune here, and if we are brave enough, we will make a fortune together." ”

"Yes!" Wang Dehou immediately drafted three telegrams and asked the telegraphers to send them to the headquarters, the new second regiment, and the independent regiment respectively.

The order of the regimental headquarters of the new regiment was issued, and the main forces of the various divisions were quickly assembled.

That is to say, the expansion of the new regiment has just begun, and if the newly expanded 15,000-odd units have formed a combat effectiveness, the 36th Division of the Japanese army will be looking for death.

However, at present, the only thing that the new regiment can fight is the old troops brought by Li Yunlong from the southeast of Jin.

The Sword Squadron and more than a dozen car soldiers, driving trucks and jeeps, dragged howitzers and mountain guns, loaded with shells and artillery, and then drove to the direction of Dagu Town.

Although the road between Zhaojiayu Village and Dagu Town has not yet been opened to traffic, the road has been repaired to a position 5 kilometers away from Dagu Town.

Pulling artillery and artillery with trucks will not only greatly save time, but also greatly save the physical strength of the artillerymen.

At the shooting range in the mountains behind Zhaojiayu Village, hidden in the air-raid shelter and under the cliffs, the secret heavy artillery positions in the rocks were all activated.

The heavy iron gates disguised as rocks slowly opened, and a German-made 150mm howitzer slowly slid along the track towards the mouth of the tunnel, the barrel sticking out of the mouth of the tunnel.

At this time, Li Yunlong no longer hid his strategic weapon, heavy artillery.

After all, after losing this battle, the 36th Division of the devil took advantage of the situation to attack the base area, and if it couldn't take away these heavy artillery, it would all have to be blown up at that time.

Li Yunlong first rode in a jeep, and then rode to Dagu Town, the forward command post of the first battalion.

"Da Biao, report on the current battle situation."

"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao pointed to the map and reported:

"Three hours ago, the devils launched two attacks with the strength of a brigade, but they were repelled by our battalion and killed more than 140 devils."

Li Yunlong nodded, and asked again: "Tell me how you defend the situation." ”

Zhang Dabiao said: "Dagu Town is surrounded by mountains, the first battalion to Dagu Town is not idle during this time, although there is no reinforced concrete fortifications, in addition to the town has a tunnel leading to the outside of the town, Anhua County's attack on the mountain in the direction of Dagu Town, has also been dug by our battalion to dig a tunnel, just like the kind of tunnel dug by the fourth battalion in Baozi Mountain, the artillery position is set in the anticline, when the devil shells, the troops are hiding in the tunnel, and when the devil infantry attacks, then drill out of the tunnel to shoot the devil infantry. ”

After listening to Zhang Dabiao's defensive deployment, Li Yunlong looked very satisfied.

Da Biao, this kid, was not idle after leading a battalion into Dagu Town, so that Li Yunlong was sure to hold Dagu Town, and maybe even had the opportunity to hit a wave of devils.

Li Yunlong said: "The devil is rushing here from an infantry wing in Anhua County and an artillery wing in Heyuan County, it seems that they want to capture Dagu Town, have the people in Dagu Town evacuated?" ”

"Not yet." Zhang Dabiao said, "The attack of the devils came suddenly, and the people had not had time to evacuate. ”

Li Yunlong ordered: "Immediately organize the evacuation of the people of Dagu Town." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao turned around and picked up the walkie-talkie to give an order to the company commander below.

Li Yunlong inspected the fortifications of the first battalion, and the soldiers of the first battalion were very excited and their morale greatly increased when they saw the arrival of the regiment commander.

In this kind of defensive battle, Li Yunlong would usually go around the position before the battle and chat with the soldiers, so that the soldiers would know that the regiment commander was always by their side and fought side by side with them.

Soon, the 1st and 2nd Artillery Battalions set up artillery positions at a distance of 5 kilometers from Dagu Town, and the two artillery battalions were actually ready for the artillery regiment's firepower.

In addition to pulling defensive nets and constructing a number of false large artillery positions, the newly formed air defense battalion and machine gun battalion also protected the two artillery battalion positions at any time.

Reinforcements from various battalions also arrived in Dagu Town one after another.
