Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 169

July 1940, [-] at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The Southern Hebei Independent Detachment divided into two groups, and went straight to the third remnant of Shi You who had fled in Weixian County.

The headquarters received Zhou Weihan's telegram and immediately ordered all the ministries to move to Weixian County.

"Boom boom boom!" Mortar shells exploded on the blocking positions of the 23rd and 28th regiments in Jizhong.

The 23rd and 28th regiments encircled from the northwest became surprise soldiers at this time, and they were the first troops to arrive at Weixian County among all the participating troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"How about it? I said that Shiyou Sanbu will flee to Weixian County, let's catch it right this time!" Ding Wei, the head of the 28th regiment, nestled in the trench, observing the enemy's offensive with a telescope.

"If you want me to say, you are a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. It's just a coincidence!" Hao Zigui, the head of the 23rd regiment, joked.

"Fuck you, I'm anticipating the enemy's opportunity. Apart from our Eighth Route Army and Shi Yousan's [-]th Army in southern Hebei, the strongest force is the little devil. Shi Yousan is in danger, and the little devil is his lifeline.

Although I don't know why the little devil didn't send troops to support at the beginning of the war, but judging from the current situation, Shi Yousan must have reached an agreement with the little devil!Otherwise, he wouldn't have fled to Wei County! "Ding Wei analyzed.

"Our two main regiments have nearly 3000 people, and we will stop them on the spot according to the command of the headquarters. In less than two hours, reinforcements from various ministries will arrive, and Shi Yousan will be besieged in Shuangma Town, outside Weixian County!"

While speaking, more than 1500 people from Shiyou's third special service brigade rushed towards the position of the first battalion of the 28th regiment like a tide.

Ding Wei's 28th regiment has four infantry battalions. Except for the fourth battalion as a reserve team, the first battalion stands out in the center, and the second and third battalions are arranged on the left and right wings, forming a triangular defensive position.

"Papa papa!" Seeing the enemy approaching, the light and heavy machine guns on the position opened fire immediately, and then threw out an overwhelming number of grenades.

Although the quality of the hand grenades of the Eighth Route Army was not as good as the long-handled grenades of the national army and the grenades of the Japanese army, the quality was insufficient, and the quantity made up for it.

One after another, the grenades exploded around the charging enemy soldiers, causing the charging enemy soldiers to fall on their backs.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army on the ground was tightly defended and had intensive firepower, the charging enemy troops turned their guns around one after another, routing towards their own side.

"Go back to the motherfuckers, I'm going to shoot if I'm retreating!" Seeing that the troops in front were blocked from attacking, the supervisors in the rear rushed to their own squares, raising their guns one after another.

"Fucking bastard, who are you scaring? When I am carrying a gun, you are still fucking sucking! If you have the ability to try the firepower of the Eighth Route Army yourself, don't use your mother's prestige on me!" A veteran soldier said. Said cursingly.

"Commander Li, I am here to supervise the battle under the order of the military seat. Anyone who flees and mutinies will be killed without mercy!" An officer of the supervising team looked stern and merciless, and directly shot and killed the veteran who had just led the trouble .

The veteran Youzi who took the lead in making trouble was shot and killed by the supervising team, and everyone in the chaotic group fell silent.

The head of the first regiment of the enemy's spy brigade looked gloomy and uncertain, then walked to the officer of the supervising team, and said in a low voice: "Commander Song, it's enough to serve as an example to scare the monkeys. Good!"

After hearing this, Company Commander Song nodded slightly to express his agreement.

"All of you be honest with me. Officers at all levels must restrain their subordinates! If you dare to make trouble again, be careful that I will not show mercy!"

"Company Commander Song, the Eighth Route Army that is blocking the way is very strong, brother, I still need to discuss the next battle plan with the military seat!" The head of the first regiment said loudly.

28 regiment positions.

"The commander of the first battalion, the commander ordered that all troops retreat, and the 23rd regiment has built a second-line defensive position!" Ding Wei's order to retreat sounded in the positions of the three battalions.

"Retreat? The enemy's offensive is like paper, and they will retreat with one blow. Why do they retreat?" the first battalion commander wondered.

"Battalion Commander, let's retreat. Our regiment's position is just dug some foxholes. Is there any terrain advantage here? When the enemy gathers forces here to attack, casualties will definitely come up!" the instructor of the first battalion persuaded.

"withdraw!"

Although Ding Wei expected that Shiyousan would approach Weixian County, he was not sure which way Shiyousan would go. The 23rd and 28th regiments suddenly contacted Shiyousan and immediately started fighting. Ding Wei's 28th regiment exchanged fire with them first. The regiment took the opportunity to build tight fortifications in the rear.

"See, the remnants of Shi Yousan have no will to fight at all now, and the strength of one regiment has just been beaten down! Give me the strength of two more regiments, and I will dare to go up and eat him!" Ding Wei looked at the front line Said excitedly about the situation.

"Don't tell me, Shi Yousan is the commander of the regular army anyway, how come there are no large-caliber artillery when attacking, but mortars?" Hao Zigui of the 23rd regiment wondered.

"Then needless to say, it must have been lost when he ran away, but I don't know which brother army is cheaper!" Ding Wei said with a grin on his teeth. This look clearly shows that he is thinking about Shi Yousan's artillery unit.

Sixty-ninth Army Headquarters.

Shi Yousan sat in the first place, thinking that the troops that had worked so hard to pull out were beaten and fled in all directions by the Eighth Route Army, his face was gloomy and uncertain.

Apart from him, only his brother Shi Youxin, the major general brigade commander, was left among the generals present, and the remaining school officers were the two heads of the secret service brigade and the staff officer of the military department.

At this time, Shi Yousan had already seen him, and the major general counselor and director of the political training department that Lao Jiang arranged to join Shi Yousan's department were all detained by Shi Yousan's people.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army may have seen through our intentions, otherwise it would not have just blocked our marching route near Wei County. For the present plan, in my opinion, elite troops should be organized to attack the Eighth Route Army's position again, otherwise Once the main force of the Eighth Route Army encircles them, the entire army will be in danger of being wiped out!" said Shi Youxin, commander of the Secret Service Brigade.

"Order the guard battalion of the military headquarters, the Second Regiment of the Secret Service Brigade to continue to attack the Eighth Route Army on the ground, gather all the mortars together, I don't believe it, I can't smash this bone in front of me!" Shi Yousan said angrily.

"Report to the military seat, report from the forward observation post, and the Eighth Route Army retreats to the second-line defensive position!"

Shi Yousan is also a person who is proficient in military affairs. After hearing the report, he was furious and slapped the table and cursed: "Okay, Li Wenqi, you are a fucking pig, you are all trash, and the Eighth Route Army has not even repaired the positions. , your group of more than 1500 people can't take it down!"

"Military seat, the enemy is at hand, and all of you here need to join hands to fight against the enemy. Let's talk about it after the war!" Shi Youxin persuaded, and Li Wenqi, the head of the first regiment, was his confidant.

"I'm afraid the second-line defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army are not so easy to break through. Now it's better to stick to it and wait for reinforcements, build fortifications, and wait for the arrival of Japanese reinforcements!"

"Listen to me, everyone, let me build fortifications, otherwise the main force of the Eighth Route Army will come, let's all die together!" Shi Yousanhong said with eyes.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only three friends and two friends in the house.

"How do the Japanese respond?"

"The Japanese army in Xingtai promised to dispatch half of the regiment's troops to join the planes in Shizhuang to support our army, but our army failed to arrive at Weixian County as scheduled. Will this happen?" Shi Youxin said worriedly.

"Don't worry, as long as I have soldiers in my hands, the Japanese will not leave them alone. The Japanese still need me to do things for them! Hurry up and urge the Japanese to send troops to support them!" Shi Yousan said
