Rise from eight hundred.

On February 1938, 2, the Battle of Yingtoujian broke out in the mountainous area west of Licheng!
进犯我部驻地的108师团108步兵联队第3步兵大队的第2步兵中队189人，全部被歼灭！
This is the battle report reported by the regiment headquarters of the 772 regiment to the 386 brigade after the war.

It is said that when Brigadier Chen, who was watching the Dongyangguan battle closely tens of kilometers away, received the victory report, his expression at that time was not joy, but shock.

The 772nd Regiment is his main regiment, and of course he knows how effective it is. If the entire regiment goes all out, it would be no problem to annihilate a Japanese infantry squadron. However, because of the tactics set by the 129th Division, the 772nd Regiment has nearly 3000 soldiers and needs to be controlled. The area is as high as more than a hundred square kilometers, and the troops are scattered. What's more, the main force of the regiment is supporting the 22nd Army on the flanks of Dongyangguan to fight against Japan.
But to be able to wipe out a Japanese infantry squadron, the 772 regiment must have used its superior force. In the absence of its main force, it must have used the militia.

Vigorously develop the militia. This is the strategy set by the 386 brigade for future development after it arrived in eastern Shanxi.

But now it is only the initial stage of the development of the militia, and the 386 brigade's own equipment is not enough, so there are weapons to equip the militia with weapons.

A group of militia troops with blunderbusses and shuttle guns used human sea tactics to attack the Japanese defense line composed of machine guns and rifles, and finally won a disastrous victory. This should be the most famous general in China in the future. The first screen that appears.

Therefore, it is rare for this general, who is hailed as a genius commander by both parties, not to be delighted by this complete annihilation-level victory.

For the first time, even brought subjective emotions, not happy, first startled, then angry!
Furious!
In fact, in this battle, the 772 regiment does not have the conditions to win by its own strength, unless it pays a lot of sacrifices!

And this, for Brigadier Chen, who is extremely transparent about the development of the war, is absolutely not allowed.

He and the two division heads had long had heated discussions on the progress of the Sino-Japanese War, and finally concluded that, no matter in the northern battlefield or the Central China battlefield, the current China does not have the strength to resist the Japanese army.

Resistance is necessary, but head-to-head confrontation will only waste China's elite soldiers on the battlefield meaninglessly.

The current Japanese army seems to be invincible, and they must overcome every battle, but their offensive has been slowing down. Every time they want to win a battle, they have paid much more effort and casualties than before.

It’s not just that the battle line is deepening into China, the Japanese army’s logistics line is constantly stretching, but also because their veterans are being consumed in constant wars, and a large number of second-line soldiers have been replenished to the front line. Compared with the early days of the war, Discounts have already begun.

The frontal battlefield is a very important battlefield. Nearly a hundred Chinese army divisions are desperate to fight, even if they are repeatedly defeated, but as long as they are repeatedly defeated, they will consume themselves and Japan at the same time. army.

The two sides are like two giants wrestling with each other. It is not terrible to be knocked down again and again. What is terrible is that one side completely admits defeat and never dares to stand up and continue fighting.

On the northern battlefield, the country has basically been occupied by the Japanese army, which is the so-called Japanese-occupied area. The Japanese Army Headquarters will definitely use the north as a base to provide logistical support for the Japanese Central China Front Army.

The 129th Division located on the northern battlefield has a total of only 10,000 taels, a thousand people, and more than 7000 guns, which are not enough to launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese army.

Then it will become the thorn in the heart of the Japanese army on the northern battlefield, do not fight big battles, focus on small battles, accumulate small victories into big victories, destroy the enemy during the movement, and destroy their logistical supplies, forcing them to deploy troops into the mountainous areas, to give With frontal battlefield support.

It can only be said that Brigadier Chen is a genius. The Great Patriotic War has only entered the second year, and he has given himself and his subordinates a precise position.

Of course, that is also the idea of ​​a great 'teacher' comrade. As early as the New Year, he had a view of 'on protracted war', but the genius general became more determined after entering the actual battlefield.

Using the mountainous and rural areas beyond the control of the Japanese army to continuously attack the Japanese aggressors and develop itself is the combat policy set by Brigadier Chen for the future 386 brigade.

But under such a combat policy, the 772 regiment was greedy for merit, and at the cost of a large number of casualties of the basic militia, it could not wipe out the 200 Japanese army. This is unacceptable to genius generals.

If they grow up, they can kill more than 200 Japanese troops, and at least add 0 to the end.

Immediately send a power call to the 772 regiment, ordering them to immediately report to the brigade headquarters all troop deployment and tactical arrangements, as well as their own casualties.

Faced with the chief's nonchalant but obviously emotional questioning, the reply from the 772 regiment was very simple: the 3rd company used the advantage of Yingtoujian to ambush and attack the Japanese invaders, with no casualties and 5 injuries!
The 386 Brigade Headquarters was silent!
"Zhu Sanhei, what kind of drug did he take?" After a long time, Brigadier Chen recovered from the shock and said to himself.

Who is Brigadier Chen?One of the famous Whampoa Three Heroes. He has joined the army for nearly 20 years since his youth. He has participated in countless battles like the crucian carp crossing the river. Most of the victories are won, and there are many defeats. The weak win the strong There are also many battle examples. He has experienced all kinds of battlefields and jaw-dropping results.

But like this, an infantry company completely wiped out a Japanese infantry squadron with more troops than themselves. It is beyond anyone's imagination, even if he is already a famous general in China at this time.

"Did the 772rd company of the 3nd Regiment mistake the number of the Japanese army, not a regular infantry, but a team of heavy soldiers? This must be clarified, otherwise the battle report will be reported to the division headquarters and then reported to the group army headquarters. It will be a joke." The brigade chief of staff had a look of concern on his face.

"I believe Zhu Sanhei on this. That guy has no habit of fooling his superiors against his enemies!" Brigadier Chen shook his head, but there was a smile on his face: "There must be other factors in this. However, the 772 regiment probably hasn't figured it out yet, so there is no way to report it to the brigade! It's not important. I will go to the 772 regiment in two days and meet Zhu Sanhei and the officers and soldiers of the 3rd company who have made such great achievements. .

However, I still have to rely on the chief of staff to spend some effort and help me get some supplies. If I want to see these meritorious ministers, why don't you give me some rewards! "

"My brigade commander! This time I supported the battle of Dongyangguan for the 772 regiment. I asked hundreds of people in the brigade to tighten their belts before sending them supplies and ammunition. Now it's crowded again. Where can I find it?" Ah!" the chief of staff called poor with a bitter face.

After half a year of fighting, it was really difficult for the 386th Brigade to cross the Yellow River and come to fight in the east of Shanxi. The government also cashed in the military salary and some supplies, but the continuous fighting consumes a lot of money. In addition, being in a mountainous area, it can't be paid for a month or two. The supply is normal, and the brigade headquarters, including the lieutenant general, has not received military pay for a long time.

"Materials! Just like that ditch, there is always a squeeze!" Brigadier Chen is cheerful and lively, and he couldn't help laughing when his chief of staff called him poor.

Then there was seriousness on his face: "But no matter how difficult the brigade headquarters is, how can it be difficult for the frontline commanders? They have less than half a catty of food a day, less than a silver dollar for a month, and no more than 10 rounds of bullets per battle. They are great, they are our heroes! You say they have won such military merits. Can I, the brigade commander, not reward them? Even a piece of meat !"

The officers of the brigade headquarters fell silent again!
"How about this! If the brigade department really can't raise supplies, pawn this pen, and at least give me 50 catties of pork, otherwise I will be embarrassed to face Zhu Sanhei, a black-hearted guy!" Brigadier Chen felt a little pained He took a gold-plated pen from his coat pocket.

The pen is very well made, it comes from France, and can be pawned at least ten oceans, but for this brigade commander, the heartache is not because of its value, but because it was when he was in Huangpu. The gift given to him by the director is a testimony of the teacher-student friendship that has been established for a lifetime since then.

"No, no, brigade commander, I will carry out your order. Even if I sell my desk, I have to raise 50 catties of pork money for the soldiers. How can I ask for your personal things?" The chief of staff knew the pen For the importance of Brigadier Chen, I will pick it up there and wave my hands again and again.

"That's good, you old Li is the same, you insist on scaring me, I said how can my 386 brigade be so poor, no matter how bad it is, there is still a desk for sale, right? If it doesn't work, we will use stone as a desk in the future , isn’t your old Li ancestor a stonemason! The ancestral handicraft just comes in handy.” Brigadier Chen laughed, quickly took back the pen and put it back in his purse, with a look of joy.

The chief of staff smiled wryly, knowing that he had been blackmailed by his brigade commander again.

The brigade headquarters of the 386th Brigade was full of relaxed laughter. This is their supreme commander. He not only maintains the seriousness that a leader should have, but is also lively. Fighting under his command is definitely the most popular among the brigades of the 18th Army. comfortable.

The key is that he is extremely capable of combat command. Even the well-known deputy head of the thorn king in the 18th Army is convinced by him. Da Dao led the death squad to charge and cut a bloody path for the whole army. The fierce general will not be so quiet anymore.

The brigade headquarters of the 386th brigade received the battle report on the evening of February 2th, and was busy because of shock and raising supplies.

The 772rd Company of the 3nd Regiment was very happy this afternoon.

Zhu Sanhei's big black face hasn't closed his big mouth since the battle ended.

However, the corpses of 189 Japanese soldiers were scattered on the front hundreds of meters long. The number is not large, and it is not a large number of corpses, but it is definitely considerable for the small 3rd infantry company.

The last time I saw so many Japanese corpses was the Battle of Qigen Village, but it was the credit of the 6 infantry companies that participated in the battle. If you add the peripheral fighters, there are 9 infantry companies.

But now, he is all three in a row, you say Zhu Sanhei is so unhappy?

The corpses of the Japanese invaders are military achievements, but what is more gratifying is that they were seized, more than 140 intact 4-type rifles, 11 Taisho 5-year machine guns shining with a faint blue luster, 12 grenadiers, 360 Southern Ten Four pistols, 80 rounds of yellow-orange machine rifle bullets, 300 melon grenades, 100 grenade grenades, 160 tins of canned meat, more than 175 catties of rice, individual engineers 200 shovels, 180 steel helmets, more than [-] military uniforms, and [-] pairs of military boots.
Shen Laoliu also kept his mouth open!

Of course, he wasn't surprised because he killed more than 180 devils. In the Battle of Bihe, more than 3000 devil corpses were lined up, and they could be discharged for more than a mile. bird!
This is insight, some things will become normal once experienced, just like a boy becomes a man, after experiencing a woman, he will no longer be full of mystery about the female body as before.

This is also the height. Once you have set foot on the peak, you will not pay too much attention to the small hills.

Shen Laoliu opened his mouth wide, taking in air-conditioning.

He was in the Four Elements Regiment, so of course he knew the style of the Four Elements Regiment, he always killed and looted all the devils, and he didn't even spare the blood-stained boots to prove it.

But in front of the infantry company of the 386th Brigade, Shen Laoliu realized that the Four Elements Group was so insignificant compared to them in terms of loot hunting.

Why did Zhu Sanhei's 3rd company seize more than 200 pieces of Japanese military uniforms?That's how meticulous they are. Even if it's a Japanese soldier who was blown into two pieces, as long as the pants or jacket are still usable, even if it's bloody, they will all be pulled off.
But this is not the most awesome thing. Those guys even collect the damaged gun parts. It’s no problem. The Four Elements Group has also collected guns damaged by explosions. As long as it can be repaired, it will be a good gun sooner or later. .

But, what the hell are you collecting shell casings for?Have you ever seen dozens of elite soldiers pick up shell casings in the grass with their heads down after a big battle?Shen Laoliu said that he had never seen the cliff.

But here, he saw it.

"This is their style, because bullet casings can be made into new bullets!" Tang Dao patted Shen Laoliu on the shoulder, his voice low. "Even, in order to pick up the bullet casings, they made sacrifices! A lot of sacrifices."

This is not fabricated by Tang Dao. In the past time and space, in order to help soldiers make new bullets, many children in the Japanese-occupied area secretly went to collect bullet casings on the battlefield after shooting. A child who was only 8 years old picked up bullet casings. The three shells cheered happily, but they were noticed by the Japanese soldiers in the bunker more than 300 meters away, and they shot the Chinese child inhumanely.
Fathers and folks brought back a child who was no more than 8 years old from the battlefield. His body was covered with blood, but his little hand was clenched tightly. There were three empty bullet casings in it. He continued to protect his body until his young body lost temperature. reward.

Because, three shell casings have a chance to become three bullets!
The record recorded on the battlefield in northern Hebei was very inconspicuous. No one even remembered the name of the child, but as a soldier, Tang Dao looked at the three bullet casings displayed under the glass cover, and his eyes were wet.

The three bullet casings did not become a sharp weapon to shoot and kill the Japanese invaders, but they became a testimony of the determination of the Chinese army and civilians in that era. I do not know how many young people went to the battlefield without hesitation because of this story.

On the night of the child's sacrifice, the regular army and armed brigade active in the county gathered more than a thousand people. At the cost of 80 deaths and 90 injuries, they blew up 4 bunkers including this bunker, annihilating more than 90 Japanese invaders and more than 100 puppet troops. .

Shen Laoliu was silent!
As a soldier, he knew the pain of not having bullets. On the Songhu battlefield, he, an old machine gunner, only issued 400 rounds of bullets. While shooting, he scolded the stingy superiors to die.

But he didn't expect that in this mountainous area, those friendly soldiers who wore the same military uniform as him, but with a slightly different color, would be so difficult that the bullet casings became such precious supplies.

"These seizures are all yours, we don't want them!" This was the third sentence Tang Dao and Zhu Sanhei, the army captain, met.

The first two sentences were introduced by Li Dadao, and Tang Dao explained his designation and his purpose of coming.

When Zhu Sanhei heard Tang Dao's number and rank, he didn't salute, but when he heard that Tang Dao didn't want any capture, after a while of silence, he stood at attention and saluted!

Of course Tang Dao knew the veteran's state of mind.

As opponents who have been fighting each other for nearly ten years, countless close comrades in arms on both sides died in the flames of war. Not shaking face when they meet each other is already the greatest restraint of this veteran in the face of a big victory.

His military salute is not only a thank you to Tang Dao for not having any seizures, but also a recognition of Tang Dao and others.

Of the 89 Japanese soldiers who died in Yingtoujian Canyon, as many as [-] died at Taniguchi and before Taniguchi.

That also means that Tang Dao killed more than a hundred Japanese soldiers with the strength of 9 people. No one dares to ignore this kind of sturdy combat power, and the same is true for the army captain who has experienced many battles.

Even Zhu Sanhei doesn't know what the Four Elements Regiment is, and he hasn't even heard of the number of the 43rd Army. Since crossing the Yellow River in September, the 9th Division has been able to keep in touch with the outside world through the radio except for the division headquarters and the brigade headquarters. The following The battalion and company are almost isolated from the outside world, and the news they can hear is the results of several large-scale battles on the frontal battlefield that the regiment headquarters received from the brigade headquarters. They all lost, and they no longer want to hear from their former opponents Bad results.

But this friendly colonel is absolutely different!
This is not only evidenced by the Japanese corpse, but also from the instinct of the veteran Zhu Sanhei.

Except for his own troops, he had never seen such a high-ranking officer among his former opponents, leading the way!
What's more, in this battle alone, according to Li Dadao, no less than 15 Japanese soldiers died under Colonel Tang's gun, and this was only what he could see.

Li Dadao, a fairly good guy from the 3rd company, took a submachine gun and killed three devils. No matter how lucky the other three were, they were at most similar to him, which meant that 4 elite soldiers killed at most 10 people.

That means that Colonel Tang and his subordinates killed nearly 90 Japanese troops, but only 5 of them!
Whether it was out of the generosity of the other party not to seize it, or the awe of the strong, Zhu Sanhei gave a military salute to Tang Dao, the superior officer!
Tang Dao laughed!

Being able to gain the respect of the infantry captain was a good start for his trip to the mountains.

However, when he heard that on the ground in Licheng, the supreme commander of the 772 regiment was the deputy commander Wang, Tang Dao felt a little pain in his head.

That one is not someone to mess with!

Tang Dao knows more about the prototype of the protagonist of the future "Bright Sword" than his subordinates.

Sure enough, after contacting the deputy commander Wang who was still on the battlefield through the field radio station seized from the Japanese army by the left-behind 3rd company, that person actually chose to leave Tang Dao, the dignified colonel commander, aside!
