Starting from the bright sword to engage in military industry

Chapter 1222 Chapter 1231, Songzhuang
After experiencing the tension at the end of May, Jiuzhai quickly regained its calm. Even the headquarters moved back to its original location, and continued to coordinate this anti-sweeping campaign.

That's right, this time the anti-sweep is not over yet, especially the Jizhong District is still suffering endless raids by the devils, the smoke of beacons is everywhere, and the people in distress are everywhere, and it no longer looks like it was thriving before.

It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to abandon the people here. Apart from the team that jumped to the outside line to fight, there are still many troops staying here. With the help of the village, they kept fighting with the devil's sweeping team to protect the people here.Fighting on two fronts, inside and outside, is an effective way to mop up the devils, and it has been done successfully many times before.

It's just that this time the devils have too many troops, so it hasn't ended for such a long time.

In fact, the devil's mopping up battle has reached the third stage.After occupying all the county towns and larger towns in Jizhong District, the devils are arresting people everywhere, digging blockades, building barbed wire, building strongholds, and building roads, planning to divide the Jizhong Plain into pieces for convenience. to rule.

That's right, Okamura Ningji planned to treat the Jizhong Plain as a "security zone", which was thoroughly implemented by the devils.Moreover, although Jizhong District also has an arsenal, it is still far behind the Jiuzhai Arsenal, so the strength of the troops in Jizhong District is still weaker.The point is, there are so many devils!More than 5 troops were invested in the early stage, and later the troops withdrawn from the Taihang District came...

The Jizhong District also implemented streamlined troops and simplified administration. After many troops were streamlined, they became small regiments with only five or six companies.For example, the 7nd regiment in the 22th division has only 4 infantry companies, a guard company, and a small regiment of a reconnaissance communication company, with a total strength of 655 people, which is really small.

But this regiment is the core regiment of the 7th division. It has few people but is elite, especially the left regiment leader, who can fight, especially ambushes.

Now this regiment is active in the area of ​​Xiguluo Village in Shenze County. This area used to be controlled by the Eighth Road, and the mass base is very good. Unfortunately, it is now being raided by the devils, and the people are miserable.

If troops at the regiment level are active here, there will naturally be a radio station sending a telegram, and then the little devil will detect the radio waves.

On June 6th, through the radio wave detection equipment, the little devil judged that there was an eight-way agency here, and if there was trouble, it would still be a big boss, such as the one surnamed Lu.

Is this okay?Hurry up and send troops over there!Therefore, Colonel Sakamoto Kitaro of the 26th Regiment of the 12th Division led a team with two brigades as the backbone and went straight to Xiguluo Village.It's just that when the devils arrived here, they were all in vain.Not to mention people, the dogs didn't even see one, so they had no choice but to retreat.

In fact, the 22nd Regiment is currently operating in two groups. It is Liang Zhengwei who is leading two companies in Xiguluo. When the devils arrived here, he had already led the team across the Shahe River and went to Dading Village for activities. .

The devil saw that there was nothing to do, so we simply divided our troops into two groups, and let Fukasawa sweep away along the way.Unbeknownst to them, just south of Xiguluo in Songzhuang, the Zuo regiment leader had already hid here with three companies.

At this time, it was already June 6th, and the left regiment leader, who was good at ambush warfare, seized a powerful opportunity in such mobile warfare.

Then why did the head of the left appear here, and also brought three companies?And also take the initiative to provoke devils?This wasn't the night before, when he was active in Xisong Village, he happened to meet a battalion of the 17th Regiment, protecting the people who were moving.These people lost their villages, and the soldiers of the 17th regiment were reluctant to leave the people behind, so they simply took them with them.

It is duty-bound to protect the people!The head of the left group wanted to take the initiative to find the devils to fight, to attract the attention of the devils, and to cover the transfer of the people.

Head Zuo, who was worried about where to provoke the devils, received a telegram that the political commissar wanted to transfer, and at the same time received information that the devils came out of Fukasawa to raid their regiment headquarters.

What else is there to say?Our old Zuo is worried about where the devils come from, so here we are.

As for why you chose Songzhuang?One is because there are only more than 300 households in this village, which is not too big or small, which is just conducive to defense and also has strategic depth.The second is because the mass base here is good, the tunnels and so on are well repaired, and the sandwich walls and so on have been repaired a long time ago. There is a proper Iron Wall Village and a Hedgehog Village.

Therefore, when the devils went straight to Xiguluo from south to north, the head of the left regiment took two infantry companies, plus a company from the 17th regiment, and walked 20 miles by a small road to Songcun.

In Song Village, the people who had been busy all night had already hid in the tunnels. Only militiamen and guerrillas were still active in the village, helping comrades from the 22nd Regiment to fight devils.

Just yesterday evening, the people warmly welcomed the arrival of their soldiers.The women boiled water and cooked, and the men helped the soldiers build fortifications, blocked the streets of the village, and took the soldiers through their own tunnels to familiarize themselves with the environment.Especially for those with interlayer walls, they lead the soldiers to familiarize themselves with the terrain so as to facilitate the next battle.

This busy work lasted all night, and I didn't go to the tunnel to rest until it was dawn.

Sakamoto didn't know that his family was already in Eight Road's calculations.Still according to his plan, he took a brigade of troops and headed south from Xiguluo, preparing to return to the county seat.

As the captain of the alliance, Sakamoto has his own guards, and they are all on horseback. Sakamoto also rides on the horse, heading south along the dirt road.

In the village, the soldiers of the 22nd Regiment were already ready for battle. After the sentries found the devil's cavalry, they immediately reported to the left regiment leader.

Looking at the village at this time, it looks the same as before from the outside.But if you look closely, you will find that there are many egg-sized holes on the wall of the village wall. The holes get bigger and bigger, and there is a soldier holding a semi-automatic or [-] big cover hidden behind it.

Thanks to the fact that the wall of this village is made of loess, it is thick enough to allow the soldiers to dig a single soldier pit on it, and use a door panel to make a roof on the top of the head, and it can also be covered. earth.This method of hiding in the wall can effectively avoid the bombing of artillery fire.

Of course, this is not the time.When the head of Zuo arrived at the north of the village, he found that the devil's cavalry was not far from the village.

At this time, Sakamoto Kichitaro was riding triumphantly on the horse, chatting and laughing with the devils around him, very unhappy. The 30 horses were divided into two teams, rattling slowly, there were 6 pioneers carrying flags in front of them exploring the way, and more than 500 troops from the headquarters 300 meters behind.Later, there are more devil teams.

The devil just passed through this village yesterday, so he didn't expect that there would be more than 300 Eight Routes in this village overnight, and he wanted to ambush them, so No. [-] didn't care.
