All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 149, fight around the point

"The devils in the Guanshannao stronghold are very weak. There are only about [-] Japanese and puppet troops. If the sneak attack is not enough, we can even make a spoonful of it.

However, the higher-ups asked to surround the spot to fight for help. We can't kill the little devils at once. We have to put pressure on them to ask for help as much as possible.

So for a while, give Lao Tzu a little bit of hands, and force the devils on the periphery together, and it's almost over. "

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, handed over the task to the eighth company. Yang Zhigang, the commander of the eighth company, called a meeting of the three platoon leaders below, and the nine squad leaders were also nearby.

They all frowned after hearing the request.

This... I always want to do my best to deal with little devils, so I put my hands back and beat, how do I fight?

The second platoon leader asked aloud: "Company commander, you have to teach us this, how can it be regarded as a little bit of beating?"

"I don't understand, but it's actually simple." The Eighth Company Commander glanced at everyone: "All the Bayi Guns in everyone's hands will be adjusted to single-shot mode for me, and I will use them as the original old rifles."

More than No. 100 people use burst assault rifles to bully the Japanese puppet army with single-shot rifles No. 60. If you don't restrain yourself, the devils may not be able to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

But another problem arose, and the second platoon leader asked again: "Isn't it enough to put pressure on the enemy? How about letting us beat the devils with hands and feet to increase the pressure on the devils."

The commander of the eighth company was very deliberate: "We don't need it now. The battalion commander left us a [-] infantry artillery. Let's shoot the little devil a few times. You should be anxious."

Everyone nodded unanimously after hearing this, and understood what the company commander meant.

For a long time, the Eighth Route Army had a cannon that was the symbol of the main force.

Moreover, defensive buildings with brick and tile structures such as gun tower strongholds are not very afraid of machine guns, but they are restrained by artillery.

Once the bombardment goes down, the people hiding inside will definitely not be able to please.

The sense of oppression brought by a cannon was enough for the Japanese soldiers in the stronghold to desperately call for help.

At 58:[-] in the middle of the night, the Guanshannao stronghold was completely silent, only occasionally there was a gust of cold wind howling.

Looking around, the entire Guanshannao stronghold looks like a giant beast lurking in the dark night, with only two large searchlights on the tower, illuminating the road leading to the stronghold back and forth.

In the place where the searchlights failed to illuminate, there was a group of soldiers lurking early. They were like wild wolves lurking and hunting, waiting for the prey to relax and launch a fatal blow.

The eighth company commander glanced at his watch, it was ten o'clock sharp.

"attack."

"Shoot him asshole."

Following Yang Zhigang's order, several marksmen with good marksmanship in the company fired at the target they had been aiming at for a long time.

Click, the glass of the searchlight was shattered, and the light disappeared and darkness was restored outside the stronghold. The Japanese soldiers standing guard on the watchtower collapsed against the wall and no one saw it.

Taking advantage of the cover of the dark night, the soldiers of the Eighth Company made a quick assault.

The soldiers carrying the wooden ladder ran the fastest, and they immediately put the ladder on the wide trench outside the stronghold, so that the blasters could rush over.

The fuse blazed, and the explosive package placed by the blaster at the entrance of the stronghold made a loud bang, blasting the thick wooden door to pieces and opening a passage.

Don't seek quick victory to destroy the enemy immediately, but also ensure that when you want to destroy the enemy, you have the ability to destroy them immediately.

The Eighth Route Army came in with a sudden attack, and there were gunshots and explosions, which woke up the devils in the stronghold from their beds.

A long-faced imperial association soldier wearing a big-brimmed hat eagerly ran to the stronghold commander, Second Lieutenant Suzuki, saluted and said:

"Taijun, it's not good. The main force of the Eight Routes has come in, and the periphery of the stronghold has been lost. You should quickly make up your mind."

Second Lieutenant Suzuki put on a coat and yelled out in surprise: "Baga, how could it be the main force of the Eight Roads?"

Their stronghold is too close to Yangquan City, five kilometers away, and the reinforcements in the city can arrive within 10 minutes.

Therefore, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army would not attack their strongholds out of boredom, and Second Lieutenant Suzuki was not afraid of them.

But if it is the main force of the Eighth Route, it is another matter.

Maybe they are really capable of eating their stronghold before the reinforcements arrive.

"Are you sure you are the main force of the Eighth Route?" Second Lieutenant Suzuki asked the last time before calling for help, covering the phone.

"Yes, how dare I lie to Taijun, this is definitely the main force of the Eight Routes."

As if to verify his words, a familiar cannon sound came from outside, stronger than a grenade, but smaller than the explosion of a dynamite bag.

Lieutenant Suzuki was all too familiar with it. This was the sound of the [-]-type infantry artillery, and the Eighth Route Army was probably using the [-]-type infantry artillery to attack and clear obstacles.

The manoeuvrability of hiding behind the walls of houses and relying on bunkers to defend steadily has also been greatly reduced.

Major Suzuki didn't hesitate anymore, he shook the power lever vigorously, and connected the Yangquan Garrison Command to ask for support.

The sound of explosions and cannons outside the city could also be heard by the Japanese army in Yangquan.

The garrison command is responsible for the city defense of Yangquan, and the surrounding strongholds are stationed for defense.

Commander Sato Dazuo is a middle-aged man with a square face, he was not surprised to receive a distress call from the Guanshannao stronghold.

Because as soon as ten o'clock arrived, it was as if the god of death was urging them to die. Nine out of ten stronghold stations within the jurisdiction were attacked, and the phones were about to go off.

What does this mean?
It shows that this is a premeditated attack, but it is not yet known what the purpose of the eight roads is.

He ordered the city defense forces on all sides to be on alert and called the troops.

Sato Osamu called Major General Yama Shotaro, head of the Fourth Brigade, and asked for his opinion.

After all, the other party was older than him, and the most elite troops in the city were also their brigade headquarters and artillery, and the lightly wounded evacuated totaled more than a thousand people.

The garrison command has only a downsized infantry brigade of 500 people, and the Eight Hundred Imperial Army.In terms of combat effectiveness, they are completely inferior to them.

Hearing the serious tone of Shan Taro on the phone, Sato knew that the matter was serious.

The news was even more explosive, shocking him from ear to ear.

"The headquarters called back and said that not only our Yangquan, but also the entire Zhengtai Line were attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

This is a great war involving tens of thousands of people mobilized from the Eight Routes. There are beacon fires everywhere, and the roads have basically been cut off. It is impossible for us to have support in a short time. "

Yamasho Taro warned the other party to clarify his own meaning.

The current situation is unclear, and he is unwilling to send out limited troops to fight fires.It is also the matter of the city defense command to send people to support.

Sato Osamu frowned, he understood the other party's thoughts, and felt uncomfortable for the other party's rejection.

Everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, who can escape when something happens?
"General, I can make them give up and withdraw from other strongholds, but not Guanshannao stronghold. Once the Eight Routes occupy there, setting up heavy artillery can directly threaten my city defense.

If we want to ensure the continuous transportation of the railway in the future, we must not let the Guanshannao stronghold fall into the hands of the enemy. "

Sato patiently explained that Yamasho Taro naturally understood the importance of Guan Shannao's stronghold.

I also know that the garrison command lacks mobile troops due to city defense problems.

"I still say the same thing. It's no problem to send people to control the city defense and defend Yangquan. It's up to your garrison headquarters to send troops to support it."

"Okay, that's great, General Xie." Sato Dazuo thanked him repeatedly.

Withdraw the city defense troops, and among the mobile soldiers under him, there will be 350 imperial troops and [-] imperial alliance troops, so there are many things to do.

A captain ran in from the outside: "Sir, the Second Security Squadron has assembled, requesting instructions."

The downsized Japanese garrison brigade consisted of 500 people, divided into three infantry squadrons and one directly subordinate squadron.

The [-]rd Guard Squadron is assisting in the defense at each stronghold station, and the [-]st Guard Squadron is standing guard on the four walls of the city.

Right now, there are only No. 150 people in the Second Security Squadron, who is the most powerful wealthy force in the hands of Sato Osamu.

"Order them to set off immediately and quickly reinforce the Guanshannao stronghold."

Following Sato Dazuo's order, the assembled 150 Japanese troops, and more than 200 dog-legged imperial association troops, trotted across the straight avenue, and set off from the open north gate for reinforcements.

One kilometer to the north of the city, in the fields on both sides of the road, a group of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army lay quietly.

They are the first battalion, the second battalion and the commando.

Hearing the sound of guns from Guan Shannao's side, he knew that the battle was about to start. The soldiers' heartbeats suddenly accelerated, and they were gearing up one by one, eager to launch an attack immediately.

Unlike them, the battle-tested cadres sat down like old monks and waited patiently in the cold field.

Under the faint moonlight, Li Yunlong stared at a mosquito that landed on his hand. The slender mouthparts of the female mosquito pricked the skin of his finger several times but failed to penetrate.

It made the mosquito suspect life, straightened its mouthparts with two mosquito legs, and prepared to fight again.

Hey, little thing.

Li Yunlong sneered, his hands were full of calluses, the skin was so thick that it could block a knife, and the little mosquitoes wanted to suck blood on his hands.

Slap, the other hand slapped it, and the three-dimensional mosquito became a two-dimensional image.

Zhang Dabiao, who had been watching the movement on the road with his binoculars, hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Regimental Commander, the devil's reinforcements have come out."

The first ones were two sidecar motorcycles, one of which was carrying three devil soldiers, with a crooked machine gun.

Headlights illuminated the road, and the machine gunner occasionally fired a few rounds into the wide field for fire reconnaissance.

Devils have been ambushed so many times, even fools should have a long memory.

It's just that due to time constraints and heavy tasks, firepower can only be used as a simple and crude method of reconnaissance.If the trace of the enemy is found in advance, it will be profitable.

Fortunately, the place where the Eighth Route Army was lurking was far away from the road, and the bullets they fired were too far away to pose any threat to them at all.

Immediately afterwards, the Royal Association Army trotted along in a column of two people.

Don't look, they must be cannon fodder for doing dirty work and attracting firepower.What can really fight is the Japanese army who is more than 100 meters behind them.

Li Yunlong made a rough count: "There are two hundred puppet troops, and about one hundred forty or fifty devils. This is too little, and I set up three battalions for nothing."

He originally thought that the devil would come out with three or four hundred, but now it is at most one hundred and fifty.

To defeat this number of devils, one battalion is enough.Two battalions are more than enough to fight encirclement and annihilation battles.

Chen Hao, who was lying next to Li Yunlong, said casually: "Then you can use the walkie-talkie to inform them to withdraw a battalion and put it in another position."

"Good idea." Li Yunlong agreed very much.

In the past, this kind of communication could only be informed by communication soldiers.

Because of the inconvenience of communication in the last battle, Chen Hao learned from the painful experience. This time, he not only bought a batch of radio stations, but also bought a batch of high-power walkie-talkies.

Therefore, the independent regiment now not only has a radio station that can directly contact its superiors, but also an intercom system that can quickly issue orders to each company.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yunlong not only notified the number of enemies in the third and fourth battalions, but also gave orders to the fifth battalion to divide their troops into two groups and go to the east and west of the city to ambush.

With two more companies in one direction, more enemies can be intercepted.

"Received." ×3
After finishing the communication with the three battalion commanders under him, Li Yunlong handed the walkie-talkie to Huzi, feeling that this high-tech is good.

It's so much more convenient to deliver the news, compared with before, it's a heaven and an earth.

It would be even better if there were more of them, with one level of support and one level of class.There will be a more significant improvement in the ability to organize and command troops in combat.

The battle was imminent, and Chen Hao casually lay on his back on the grass.

Dark clouds covered the only crescent moon, using the most appropriate metaphor.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, killing people and setting fires.

If there is no accident, at ten o'clock just past, more than a dozen regiments of the 50,000th Division, together with the guerrillas called from the county brigade and district squad, a total of [-] people launched an attack on the Japanese army at the same time.

This is not a battle of hundreds of regiments, the time of occurrence and the size of the troops do not match.

Of course, if we had more ten days and a half months of preparation time, consulted with the Yan'an side, and coordinated the participation of several other military regions, perhaps the scale could be comparable to the Hundred Regiments War.

There is nothing to regret about this. This time around the capture of Yangquan, a major traffic attack on the Japanese army, and the destruction of the artillery strongholds outside the city, the scale of the battle can be called huge.

A large part of the reason was the influence of Chen Hao. He brought a total of three divisions of weapons and equipment, which was the biggest confidence for the Eighth Route Army to stir up the whole of Shanxi.

If you fight well, you may change your offensive and defensive positions after this battle.

The Japanese army can only shiver in the city, and the vast towns and rural areas outside the city will become the Eighth Route Army's world.

Compared with the general situation of the entire battle, the battle to win the third largest city and wipe out a brigade headquarters of the Japanese army seemed insignificant.

"What do you think?"

Li Yunlong's words interrupted Chen Hao's thoughts, and he replied lightly that it was nothing.

Li Yunlong didn't believe it, and joked with a smile: "You don't mean the five tons of gold, do you?

Don't worry, it's not easy for the devils to transport such a heavy thing away.There are our tanks blocking the periphery, and no car will be able to escape Yangquan. "

It takes a big truck to pull five tons of gold.

Chen Hao, who was misunderstood, really remembered something: "I almost forgot, I have to inform, and try my best to protect the antiques in the house of the devil's official.

Those guys are thieves, and the antiques they collect are all high-quality goods and even national treasures.A good one is worth several tanks. "

Good resources and antiques are gathered in big cities, especially in the hands of the most powerful people.

It is absolutely impossible for a major general to search for resources comparable to a major general.

The amount of resources obtained is directly proportional to the size of power.

Therefore, one can imagine that the antique gold resources in Yangquan City must be richer and more valuable.

Li Yunlong heard that a piece of antique might be able to support several tanks, his eyes were glistening, and he said to Huzi:
"Send an order, and enter the city in a short while, we must first occupy the house of the devil's official, and protect any things that may be antiques."
