Chapter 1158 Songs of victory are flying all over the sky

After the war between China and Japan, the Eighth Route Army carried out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, recovered large areas of lost territory, and established a series of anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines such as Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Shanxi-Suiyuan, and Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu.

The Eighth Route Army actively resisted the war, causing great panic among the Japanese invaders. The Japanese committed 86 of the 54 Japanese troops who invaded China into the security war in the occupied areas, and built many bunkers around the border area in an attempt to block and divide the border area.

In March 1939, Shun Tada, commander of the Japanese Army in North China, named this blockade the "cage policy."

The specific measures are: use railways as pillars, roads as chains, bunkers as locks, supplemented by blockade trenches and blockade walls, to form a network cage for the guerrilla areas and anti-Japanese base areas, and compress and surround the anti-Japanese troops.

The intention was to restrict the mobility of the anti-Japanese armed forces so that the Japanese army could launch surprise attacks to eliminate the anti-Japanese armed forces and destroy the anti-Japanese base areas.

According to this policy, from the beginning of 1939 to August 1940 alone, the Japanese army repaired and built 8 kilometers of railways and 2000 kilometers of roads in North China. They also built bunkers and strongholds every 15000 places on both sides of these roads, with a total number of More than 10 seats.

At the same time, the Japanese army also dug rivers and ditches in lakes and Pingyuan areas, cut the anti-Japanese base areas into small pieces, and led the puppet troops to take turns "mopping up," "cannibalizing," and "clearing out the countryside," and committed countless murders.

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

In order to smash the enemy's "cage", on the night when the remaining troops in the border area launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against Fang Lao Liu and other political bandits, the main force of the Eighth Route Army concentrated a large number of troops and launched a large-scale attack on the communication lines and strongholds in the enemy-occupied areas of North China. .

The specific plan of the operation was to remove numerous strongholds of the Japanese army on major railways and highways in North China, leaving not a single railway track, not a single sleeper, not a single bridge for the enemy, so as to completely paralyze the enemy's transportation network in North China.

The most important target among them is the Zhengtai Railway connecting Shanxi and Hebei Provinces. Based on the principle of leniency to the enemy, the Eighth Route Army headquarters dispatched more than a hundred regiments of troops in this battle.

The first to launch the attack was the main force of the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi. They successfully mobilized the Japanese independent 16th Brigade stationed in Fenyang. A gap was opened in the prison of the Japanese. The land of North China was full of flames, and Taiyuan's Yoshio Shinozuka was caught off guard.

"Moxie? Moxie?"

In the headquarters of the 1st Army, Yoshio Shinozuka slammed the phone back with a clang. The Japanese staff officers and officers in the war room were silent. No one dared to offend the commander at this time.

In half a night, just half a night, the security situation in Shanxi Province and even North China has undergone earth-shaking changes, and no data points have been lost.

Even the heavily guarded Niangziguan Station is now surrounded by resistance elements that suddenly appeared. Telephone lines and wireless communications have been destroyed, and the Zhengtai Railway may be at risk of interruption.

Once there is a problem with the Zhengtai Railway, coal, grain and other resources from Shanxi Province cannot be transported out, and the material supply to the Japanese front line will inevitably be in short supply. No one can afford the accountability of the base camp.

"idiot!"

Yoshio Shinozuka cursed angrily and immediately issued an order: "Recall the 16th independent mixed brigade and tell their brigade commander that they must rush back to the station before dawn and block the transportation lines leading to the Shota Railway.

The Army Aviation Force was ordered to take off immediately and conduct tactical reconnaissance and support for the strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway. The Empire spent countless money on the Air Force. Darkness was no excuse for being unable to fight.

Then send electricity to Beiping and inform Commander Shun Tada that the 1st Army needs tactical guidance. Our strength alone can no longer effectively curb the destruction of the rebels. After the war, I will apologize to His Majesty Tianhao and the base camp. "

After saying that, he sat back weakly on the chair and stared at the map of Jin Province on the wall, as if he saw countless Eighth Route Army troops coming out of the darkness and tearing the 1st Army defense area into pieces.

Thinking of the contempt and disregard of the underground party troops by the big shots in Tokyo, Yoshio Shinozuka laughed to himself. In just a few years, the Eighth Route Army has grown into a force that cannot be ignored. North China will not be too quiet in the future.

At the same time, Niangziguan Station.

The Japanese Type 94 armored train rumbled near the station, and the situation between the enemy and ourselves suddenly changed.

This type of armored train has two carriages equipped with 100-year-old 75mm high-level dual-purpose guns and machine guns, and one carriage equipped with two -type mm anti-aircraft guns.

Others such as the front warning vehicle, shooting command vehicle, power vehicle, power vehicle and auxiliary carbon water vehicle are also equipped with two heavy machine guns each, and the firepower is very fierce.

The Eighth Route Army sacrificed dozens of soldiers in a short period of time. The station that was about to be captured almost changed hands and was about to be reoccupied by the Japanese army. The situation was critical.

In desperation, the Eighth Route Army troops participating in the war prepared to use a train to ram the armored vehicle, but the train and the armored train were not on the same route, so the soldiers were divided into two groups, one responsible for driving the train and the other responsible for switching the track.

The enemies on the armored train and on the ground discovered the Eighth Route Army's intentions and strengthened their defense of the turnout. The battle between the enemy and ourselves continued repeatedly, and the turnout was filled with corpses from both sides.

An Eighth Route Army soldier was shot a few meters away from the switch. He used his last strength to hold the handle, pressed down the switch with his body, and opened the door to victory with his own life.

The locomotive, which had already been prepared to boost the pressure, immediately rushed towards the armored train with a rumble. The Japanese in the train looked at the determined-looking Eighth Route Army soldiers on the opposite side of the train and howled in despair. Some people wanted to jump out of the train, but unfortunately it was too late.

With a roar, the locomotive hit the armored train hard. Under the huge impact, both of them broke off the rails. The overturned boiler quickly detonated the ammunition, and a violent explosion sounded instantly.

Without the support of armored trains, the situation at Niangziguan is decided!

Qingjian County, Border District.

The battle to encircle and suppress Fang Laoliu also entered the final moment. When the Eighth Route Army detachments attracted the bandits in front of them, other groups of soldiers used the cover of darkness to wading around to both sides of the bandit's nest and suddenly opened fire. Ordinarily, Fang Laoliu's men included the remaining defeated generals of the Guo Army, as well as the defeated troops and some officers of the Northwest Army and Northeast Army, so he should not have thought of the flank defense.

But the reason why bandits are called bandits is that they have no discipline and no formal training. Even Sun Wu couldn't command and use his fingers when he was in a mess, let alone a bunch of half-hearted officers. .

Being able to gather their personnel well and resist the Eighth Route Army's attack head-on without being disintegrated, these bandit leaders are already worthy of the military pay given by Fang Laoliu.

As for high-end operations such as side fortification and counter-penetration, not to mention bandits, even most of the Guojun troops cannot do it.

When the war reaches this point, Fang Laoliu's defeat is only a matter of time. This is normal. Using the combat effectiveness of the troops left behind in the border area to fight a group of bandits is really like using a cannon to fight mosquitoes.

In the past, Fang Laoliu was able to escape encirclement and suppression only because of the protection of Guojun. Now that Zuo Zhong came forward, some people in the second theater did not even dare to let go.

The sound of gunfire extended from the foot of the hill to the bandit's nest on the top of the mountain. From time to time, messengers came from the front line to the mountain temple, bringing the latest progress to the observation group and Deputy Minister Li. After learning that the enemies outside had been eliminated, Vice Minister Li decided to move the observation position forward.

Under the protection of the Shannan Guerrilla Detachment and the Anti-War Alliance, Zuo Zhong and others walked to the location of Xiaoshiqiao. The Eighth Route Army soldiers they saw along the way were all in high morale. Some soldiers who were slightly injured were determined not to get out of the firing line and continued with a little bandage. Attacking the bandits' nest, Xu Enzeng was stunned.

Are there such soldiers in the Guo army? There are, and there are quite a few of them, but most of them are committed by individual soldiers or small groups out of hatred of the country and family. The integrated Guo army rarely has such high morale and desire to fight┴ .

The reason is that a large part of the Guo army lacks faith and does not understand the country or the nation. They join the army and fight just to eat. Some of them are strong men who were forcibly dragged in. The performance of fighting can be imagined.

Following the combat troops, everyone wound their way up a mountain road, and it didn't take long to arrive near the bandit's nest. At this time, one of Fang Laoliu's leaders took several hostages and hid them in a room, shouting at the Eighth Route Army to get out of the way. the way.

These hostages were meat tickets who were tied up the mountain, and they were all ordinary people around them. Seeing this situation, the Eighth Route Army's originally smooth attack was stalled, but after a while, a team of 5 people took over the operation.

Unlike ordinary Eighth Route Army soldiers, the members of this team only carried short guns. Their movements were vigorous and fast. Their gun-holding postures and tactical movements were also completely different from ordinary soldiers.

"Vice seat, this is"

Gui Youguang, who was watching the battle, pointed at the opponent and stammered something to Zuo Zhong.

"My left-hand movement technique!"

Zuo Zhong said what he had not finished word by word.

Good guy, this elite team of the Eighth Route Army not only uses left-style maneuvers, but it is also the latest version of the operational textbook for the military command training class. Many official members of the military command have never been exposed to it.

The underground party is indeed everywhere, even the "tightly guarded" military command has been penetrated like a sieve, Zuo Zhong thought happily in his heart, but on the surface he looked angrily at what Deputy Minister Li wanted to say.

"Deputy Director Zuo, please be patient."

Vice Minister Li spoke first and blocked his words: "This is your information we seized from the Japanese agents. If you have any questions, you can ask the Japanese."

Zuo Zhong, who was "ashen-faced", suppressed a smile as he watched the Eighth Route Army soldiers burst into the room. After a few crisp gunshots, the hostages were successfully rescued. The battle in the bandit's lair was declared over, but the bandit leader Fang Lao Liu was nowhere to be seen.

The member of the border area social department in charge of the investigation reported that Fang Laoliu had recently fled to the Guojun defense area several miles away. After hearing this, Deputy Director Li looked at Zuo Zhong. The meaning was obvious. Can you do what Deputy Director Zuo promised? Do it.

Zuo Zhong raised his head slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, those military leaders don't dare to do tricks. If Fang Laoliu doesn't go to the Guo Army defense area, he can still survive. If he does, he will definitely die!"

The function of gloves is to protect the owner. If the gloves are broken, there is only one fate waiting for them - being abandoned.

Just as he was talking, the sound of machine gunfire like fried beans rang out from the direction of Guojun's defense area. Zuo Zhong smiled and nodded to Vice Minister Li, then stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the loess land where it was already dawn.

In the faint morning light, groups of Eighth Route Army soldiers shouldered weapons and strode toward the rising sun, singing the Eighth Route Army March ①. The victory songs were so beautiful and inspiring.

"Go forward, go forward,

Our team faces the sun,

Stepping on the land of the motherland,

Carrying the hope of the nation,

We are good warriors,

We are the armed forces of the nation. "

Xu Enzeng looked at this scene and murmured, is there really no hope for the party and the country?

For a die-hard like him, after watching the performance of the Eighth Route Army, he can't help but doubt the future of a certain person and the Party. People's hearts cannot be violated, and the trend of history cannot be stopped!
