The cave is surrounded by the corpses of devils.

In the cave, there were many extremely miserable Japanese-style screams.

The M2 flamethrower has been improved to send flames up to 60 meters away.

Although the devil officers hide in the cave, they can hide from aerial bombs and napalm.

But as soon as this flamethrower sprayed like this, there were only a dozen or so devil officers left in it, and there was nowhere to avoid it.

Under the fire dragon, almost all the devil officers were enveloped in flames.

After spraying napalm, the Pyro quickly retreated, crawling behind cover.

As the flamethrowers expected, these devil officers were wrapped in flames, brandishing lieutenant generals' swords, and rushed out of the cave with heart-rending shouts, wanting to die with several Eighth Route Army.

"Company commander, there is a command knife!"

A young but battle-hardened soldier with an M3 submachine gun in his chest lit up his eyes.

"Fire!"

The company commander did not hesitate to give the order to open fire.

The company commander really wanted to see the devil officer burned to death, but capturing the devil's katana was a great achievement.

Although the devil officer who was wrapped in flames couldn't see the rank on his shoulder, it was possible that he was a general.

"Da Da Da..."

The company commander and the soldiers around him opened fire with semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns.

The three devil officers who rushed out were immediately shot and fell down, motionless, and were beaten into a sieve.

Warriors swarmed up, scooping up nearby shell-blown dirt and covering it with katanas and devil corpses to extinguish the fire.

However, the fire on the corpse is difficult to extinguish.

The deputy company commander was quick to see and pull out a katana that had been captured earlier, and cut off the hand holding the katana on the devil's corpse.

Soon, covered with a large amount of dirt, the flames on the katana were extinguished.

The other two katanas were also preserved in the same way.

Although it is also napalm, the napalm of the flamethrower is not as terrifying as the napalm carried by airplanes.

"Company commander."

"It's a general's sword!"

"Heavenly Locust Gift!"

Looking at the golden chrysanthemum pattern on the katana, the deputy company commander exclaimed in surprise.

The soldiers on the side all opened their eyes suddenly, and the surprise came too suddenly.

The company commander glanced at the cave, and his eyes showed a hint of pity, there must be devil generals in the cave, at least with the rank of major general, but unfortunately at this time the cave has been burned into a sea of fire, and no one dares to go in to get the general's knife.

As for the major generals and lieutenant generals who captured the devil alive, the company commander and the soldiers did not think about it.

Unless it's to blow up the devil generals and stun the prisoners.

Otherwise, with the stubbornness of the devil officers, the last bullet will definitely be left to themselves.

"Wang Jiatian, you kid has made a great contribution!"

The company commander looked at the flamethrower who was crawling not far away, then took the walkie-talkie from the guard's hand and called to Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion:

"Call the battalion commander, call the battalion commander."

Wang Jiatian's eyes were clear, and when he heard the words of the company commander, he couldn't help but look happy.

Killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions in the army is a matter of glory to the ancestors, and it is also his honor.

"What's the matter?" Shen Quan's voice came from the phone, "Seventh Company Commander, do you need reinforcements for your company?" ”

"Company commander, let's not get reinforcements." The commander of the seventh company replied, "Company commander, we have made a fortune in a row, and we have seized three devil generals' official knives, all of which are gifts from the emperor!" ”

"What did you say?"

When Shen Quan heard this, his tone instantly rose to a high pitch:

"Three devil swords, are you sure?"

"Battalion commander! I'm sure! The company commander took the walkie-talkie and said loudly in a sure tone.

Although neither the company commander nor the soldiers had seen the real devil general's sword with their own eyes.

However, it was not the first time that the Eighth Route Army had seized the Devil's Commander's sword, and the self-made brochure had pictures of the Devil's Commander's Knife, and taught each soldier how to distinguish the rank of the Devil and the general's knife.

Shen Quan immediately inquired about the location, and then ordered the commander of the seventh company to stand by.

Then, Shen Quan quickly came with the main force of the second battalion, which was the credit of the second battalion, and Shen Quan naturally attached great importance to it.

At this time.

Not far away, sporadic gunfire was still ringing, and there were still a small number of devils resisting stubbornly.

However, it won't be long before the battle is over.

……

About half an hour later.

Separate regiment command.

"Commander, the battle is basically over."

The Chief of Staff reported to Kong Jie:

"Some devils have been captured, the number of casualties and killed enemies of the troops is still being counted, and the troops are already cleaning up the battlefield."

Kong Jie nodded first, and then asked eagerly: "Have you found the devil headquarters?" ”

According to intelligence, among the devils surrounded by the Independent Regiment and the Jizhong Military Region this time, there were 4 devil lieutenant generals and 2 devil major generals.

This is a big business, if you kill these 6 devil generals, it will be a wealth for the Eighth Route Army.

It is possible that the Devil's command was taken out in the previous shelling or aerial bombardment.

It is also possible to hide somewhere.

However, Kong Jie could see from the two attacks from morning to noon that the devil's stubborn resistance was fierce, and there must still be a unified command, and the devil's generals had not been killed.

"Found it!"

The chief of staff smiled slightly:

"Just when the regiment commander squinted for a while, the second battalion had already sent a battle report, and a cave was found on a hill in the central area of the devil's encirclement."

"The 7th Company of the 2nd Battalion was stubbornly resisted when attacking this cave."

"In the end, the flamethrowers of the Seventh Company used flamethrowers to serve the devil generals in the cave."

Kong Jie's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked, "Are you sure it's the devil's general?" ”

Since it was the Pyro who wiped out the devil's command, it is estimated that the corpse was scorched, how can you confirm that it is the devil's general?

"Sure!"

The chief of staff nodded: "The Seventh Company captured three intact generals' swords, and the rest of the katanas were basically burned black. ”

"Haha, that's great!"

Kong Jie couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground:

"This time, Lao Li has to invite our Lao Kong to drink!"

The battle, which was expected to end in two days, ended in only one day, and the command of the devils was given a pot.

This time, the Niangzi Pass blocking battle made Kong Jie fight a war of annihilation.

Of course, the battle was won.

In addition to Kong Jie's seizure of the fighter plane, it was inseparable from the bloody battles of the Independent Regiment, the 2nd Independent Brigade, the Central Hebei Military Region, the Southern Hebei Military Region, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and other fraternal units.

The chief of staff also smiled slightly, and sighed in a tone of emotion: "It's still good to use incendiary bombs, and directly turn the devil's position into a sea of fire, what resistance do the devils have?" ”

As the chief of staff of the independent regiment, he is also more and more realized.

The strength of an army, in addition to a strong will to fight and a superb tactical level, should also be reflected in the strength of firepower.

The troops of the Independent Regiment and the Jizhong Military Region were not the most capable troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong's new regiment is the most capable unit of the Eighth Route Army.

If a new regiment had been allowed to fight this battle, the battle would have ended long ago.

Kong Jie felt the same way, nodded, and immediately ordered: "Give the weapons and ammunition to the 2nd Independent Brigade and the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region, we don't need the equipment of these devils." ”

Most of the equipment used by the Independence Regiment today is American.

The equipment of the Japanese army is only used by the militia in the base area of the independent regiment, and the Japanese-style weapons in the hands of the militia are more sophisticated than those in the hands of ordinary second-line divisions of devils.

"Yes."

The chief of staff straightened up.

The independent regiment did not need these equipment, and all of them were given to the brother troops, which was very suitable.

The business won by this battle was enough for the independent group to make a fortune.

Moreover, in the future, the independent regiment will also be replaced with five or six gun families, and the American-style equipment will be eliminated sooner or later.

After making sure that there were no fish that slipped through the net, Kong Jie said loudly:

"Immediately send a telegram to the General Command of the Front ..."

Kong Jie said as the chief of staff took notes there.

……

Cai Dongcun, General Headquarters of the Front.

"Regiment commander, just now the brigade headquarters of the 386th Brigade sent a telegram that the 40th and 56th divisions of the Japanese army have broken through the encirclement in a scattered manner."

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou held a telegram in his hand and reported to Li Yunlong.

"Okamura Ninji, this old devil is quite fast."

Li Yunlong's expression moved, and he asked:

"The devils of the 40th Division and the 56th Division, where did they break through from Zhengtai Road?"

This time, Okamura Ninji did not hesitate at all and was very decisive.

After receiving Tanabe Moritake's farewell telegram, he decisively issued an order to the 40th and 56th Divisions to break through the encirclement.

The encircled Japanese army at Niangzi Pass was completely annihilated, and there were more than 200,000 main forces of the Eighth Route Army around the 40th and 56th Divisions.

Continuing to stay in Shanxi as a division and regiment is a dead end.

How many devils can escape from Shanxi depends on the will of God.

"Near the Sangzhang Bridge."

Wang Dehou pointed to the map and said:

"The troops of the 386th Brigade and the 385th Brigade intercepted the devils of the two divisions at the Sangzhang Bridge to block them, and the large troops behind were speeding up to move closer, and the devils suddenly scattered in all directions, and even blew up the heavy firepower such as mountain artillery that could not be taken away."

"In addition, the pilot of our reconnaissance plane sent a message by radio."

"The devils are divided into dozens of units to the north and south in squadrons and squads, and they are fleeing."

Li Yunlong nodded, I have to say that this tactic of breaking up the whole and dispersing the breakthrough is indeed a bit troublesome.

The devils of the two B divisions gathered together, and the main force of the 200,000 Eighth Route Army could destroy them all without much effort.

Once these devils are scattered, it will take more effort to eliminate them.

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said: "Immediately send a telegram to the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region, you can pick up the grass and beat the rabbits, capture the Jingcheng Coal Mine and the Jingcheng County Town, cut off the main roads and small roads from Shanxi to Hebei Province, and block the fleeing devils." ”

"Send another telegram to the 385th Brigade and the 386th Brigade to pursue the devil with all your might."

"In addition, the guerrillas will be fully mobilized to block the attack."

"Under the siege and interception of our hundreds of thousands of troops, labor and management should see how many devils can escape!"

Li Yunlong's tone was fierce.

The Eighth Route Army played the tactic of breaking through the encirclement and breaking into pieces, because this is the land of the Chinese and can get the support of the common people.

And if the devil dares to play this tactic, he can only completely fall into the war between the Chinese military and the people.

"Yes."

The chief of staff quickly prepared the telegram, and after Li Yunlong signed it, he ordered the telegraph operator of the communications platoon to quickly send the telegram.

Soon, a telegram was handed to Wang Dehou, and Wang Dehou's eyes lit up after reading it.

"Commander, good news!"

"Just now the independent regiment sent a telegram, Niangzi Pass annihilation battle, we won a complete victory, annihilated the devils, and also wiped out the devil's headquarters."

"Well done!" When Li Yunlong heard this, he couldn't wait to ask: "Kill a few devil generals?" ”
