In this sabotage operation, the area in charge of the 129th Division was the section from Yuci to Yangquan on Zhengtai Road. There are 13 strongholds in this area, and it is the most important transportation hub in Jinjian Province.

For the Eighth Route Army, the biggest threat was naturally the headquarters of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Yangquan, where there were 1,500 devils.

Since the fall of Jin Province three years ago, it has hardly been attacked by anyone, and the only time it was because of the decision "the arrogance of workers behind enemy lines"

This was followed by Shouyang and Yuci, each of which had two brigades responsible for garrisoning. In addition, the devil can rely on the county town for defense, and each one is a difficult bone to gnaw.

With the above information, it is naturally impossible for the 129th Division to go head-to-head. These three points are not the main objectives of this offensive.

After all, the Eighth Route Army's siege ability was inherently weak compared to other aspects. Without heavy weapons such as barrel cannons, it would be difficult to break through the city gates.

Even those straw bale generals in the preserved fruit know to promote their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and our teacher naturally has his own arrangements.

The 129th Division was to attack eight stations and enemy strongholds, including Mashou Village, Shanghu, and Lujiazhuang. These stations and strongholds were closely connected, and each stronghold formed a line to guard the railway.

However, because for many years, there has been no reason why the enemy has taken the initiative to attack. The strength of the 4th Separate Mixed Brigade at these points of communication was reduced again and again, from the initial one brigade to the size of the squadron.

Among them, Lujiazhuang, which has the largest number of troops, only has 200 people, and Mashou Village, which has the least, only has about 100 people in two squads.

After careful discussion, the division headquarters decided to attack these ten points at the same time.

And before the attack, the base regiment was used to destroy all the stations and bridges around the stronghold for ten miles. Strive to divide the western section of the Zhengtai Railway into points that cannot support each other, and use the other way to return the other.

So at the same time, troops were sent to nail the vicinity of the three large county towns, although the big strongholds were difficult to gnaw, but no one came to fight what's the use.

Once the enemy left the city and lost the advantage of defense, he immediately relied on the favorable terrain to block the attack, so that the enemy could only shrink into the three county towns as a turtle with a shrunken head.

This is the same as Tian Ji horse racing, the 129th Division used high-class horses to comfortably eat the enemy's medium and inferior horses. But the devil's superior horse has no chance to use it at all.

The tactic of hitting ten small strongholds is also very simple, and it is also overwhelming people with momentum.

There are clouds in the art of war, five are to surround it, and ten are to attack it.

This means that if the attacker has five times as many troops as the defender, they can be surrounded and wait for the enemy to run out of supplies.

But if your own strength is far greater than that of the opponent, even ten times higher, then you can completely eat the enemy.

Therefore, of the ten strongholds between Yuci and Yangquan, the 129th Division sent a full ten regiments. After all, the Eighth Route Army now lacks heavy weapons, and there are many things to consider when attacking a stronghold.

According to the words of the division commander at the time, if you want to fight, you have to smash a walnut! Use a hammer to smash enemies along with their shells and flesh.

————————————

Let's switch to the new second group that hasn't been seen in a while.

At this time, it was half past nine o'clock in the evening of August 20, and Grand Master Li and the soldiers of the whole regiment had already been doing a road pick-up army for an hour and a half.

I have to say that he, Li Yunlong, is indeed an all-rounder, and he can get started quickly in fighting and logistics, and now he is even doing everything well in destroying railways and dismantling power lines.

You must know that he originally thought that the new second regiment could participate in the war and attack the various strongholds of the devils. In Li Yunlong's mind, the most secondary option was to block the enemy's reinforcements.

Therefore, when the regiment headquarters was conducting sabotage training, Grand Master Li made the old mistake of not liking to study again, and secretly deserted when everyone was not paying attention.

But now it has only been a little more than an hour, and the speed at which he picks up the railroad and dismantles the wires is not at all inferior to the railway guerrillas who have come to help.

Listening to the sound of gunfire in the distance, Grand Master Li had a bitter face.

The old man carefully handed over the wires wrapped around his body to the fellow on the side, and then pretended to be painful and said to his partner beside him:

"Lao Zhao! When did you say it would be our turn to support! I'm dying, three years and three years, and I'm going to forget how to shoot if I go on like this! ”

"Why can Cheng be blind and fight Lujiazhuang, you don't know yet, when he joined the army, I taught him to put the gun by hand. It's good now, I'm not as good as others. ”

"And Lao Kong and Lao Ding were directly borrowed by the Jinchaji Military Region! Why don't you want me, is it because his head is bigger than mine and his neck is thicker than mine? ”

Looking at the chattering head of his own regiment, Zhao Gang's head was about to crack.

During this period of time, this high-achieving student felt that he was not a political commissar, but an old mother who took care of children.

But in fact, he is also eager to participate in the battle, after all, he has studied in the rear for so long, and he has not experienced a major operation.

If this opportunity is missed, I don't know when the next operation of this scale will be.

"Lao Li, just say a few words, my ears are about to become calloused. If you have the ability, you can ride on your horse and complain to the brigade commander. The headquarters let our new second regiment sabotage, naturally it has its own arrangements, and you have to think more about the overall situation. ”

"And the brigade commander protects you a lot, you don't know, he must be in order to preserve the strength of the regiment. Our new second regiment has just been set up, and except for the first battalion, many soldiers have never been on the battlefield. ”

"And you hope that something good will work, if any regiment calls for help because the attack did not go well, it must be heavy casualties. Those are our allies, and you can't see this kind of thing. ”

After hearing his own political commissar say this, Li Yunlong's face was obviously much better. In fact, he understands the truth, but he has held it for too long and hopes that someone can listen to him.

"Hey, I see. Our Lao Li is a life of manual labor, poor man. ”

Seeing Li Yunlong pretend to demonstrate his embarrassment, Zhao Gang smiled and shook his head.

But just then, a friendly cavalryman appeared next to the railway in the distance. The comrade rode a horse and carried a torch so that the troops who sabotaged the railway could find him earlier.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Dabiao, who was on the outermost part of the new second regiment, suddenly became heavy.

This kind of behavior is very dangerous, and if there are devils nearby, the cavalry will definitely be killed. Being able to do this shows that the current tense is urgent, and in order to bring the news out, even my life is not wanted.

Thinking of this, he immediately mounted the communicator's horse and hurried towards the comrade. After the two met, after a short communication, they came to Li Yunlong's side.

"Captain Li! Hurry up and bring someone to help us with the 772nd regiment! ”
