Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Later that night.

The three columns launched an offensive against their respective targets at the same time, and the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area fell into a war for a while.

The local people have seen this kind of scene for a long time, and they closed their homes or hid in the cellar.

Neihuang and Nanle counties have one west and one east, and Qingfeng is in the south of the two counties. The west column led by Zhou Weihan started from the triangle at the junction of the three counties.

The first regiment and one mountain artillery company attacked from Neihuang and Qingfeng, and the fourth regiment and another mountain artillery company attacked from Nanle and Qingfeng. The two troops distributed infantry artillery, mountain artillery, and heavy machine guns to the company. The unit went south at the same time, and carried out a dragnet-style sweep against the Zhinan area. Along with it, some guerrilla fighters in the Zhinan area and comrades from the local government acted as guides.

Zhou Weihan personally led the reconnaissance company and the cavalry company, and he nicknamed it: Queen of the Palace.

Gao Shuxun had previously ordered the recalcitrant army in the Zhinan area to gather in the direction of the New Eighth Army in Pu County if they were willing to give up their family business.

It's a pity that most of the local big landlords can't give up their family business. Why did they fight the Eighth Route Army in the first place?

On the one hand, he was worried that Gao Shuxun's troops would be annexed by Gao Shuxun, and on the other hand, he looked down on the Eighth Route Army who could not get enough to eat, and ran out of ammunition and food after three shots.

On the other hand, it is believed that with the support of the local Japanese and puppet troops, the Eighth Route Army would never succeed.

Therefore, in the face of Gao Shuxun's order, most of the recalcitrant armed forces turned a blind eye, and very few responded.

The recalcitrant armed forces in the Zhinan area did not have a strict organizational structure. After being abandoned by Gao Shuxun, they did not even have a unified command.

In larger towns, three or five recalcitrant armies in the town barely gathered their teams together, with as many as four or five hundred people, while in smaller towns there were only a hundred or so.

As for the landlords in ordinary villages, either they were not killed by the former Eighth Route Army because of sabotage, or they belonged to enlightened gentlemen.

Only the recalcitrant armed forces in the villages and towns survived by luck because they were not weak.

Shunhe Set in the southwest of Qingfeng.

The regiment and company responsible for launching the attack on Shunheji were accompanied by two 82mm mortars.

The situation in Shunheji was really beyond the company commander's expectation: "Is this group of stubborn soldiers out of their minds? They built fortifications outside the town without guarding a good high-walled compound. How many people can they have? Standing guard on all sides in Shunheji? Isn't this like window paper, which can be broken if poked?"

The instructor on the side was still holding a telescope to observe the stubborn army position on the opposite side: "Most of them are the servants of the landlords' housekeepers. They have never been on the battlefield. They know that lying in the trenches is good. When the main force of the army is here, how dare they be arrogant?"

"Instructor, I will launch an attack from the north. You, the deputy instructor, and the deputy company commander will lead three platoons to set up a squad from the east, west, and south to encircle them. Ten minutes later, listen to the sound of artillery from my side!" The company commander said.

The instructor nodded after hearing this, and left with the soldiers in the third row.

"Cannon!"

A company of six 50 mortars, two 60 mortars, and two 82 mortars left in the north aimed at the stubborn army position on the opposite side at the same time.

On the opposite side of the stubborn army,
"The Eighth Route Army has guns, guns!" An exclamation sounded from the battlefield.

As soon as they saw that there was a real iron guy on the opposite side, many stubborn soldiers subconsciously wanted to shoot the town.

The leader of the recalcitrant army shot at the sky: "If whoever dares to run away, I will kill you now, and your family will starve to death!"

"Think about it, Mr. Jia said, as long as you hold your ground, you will get one hundred catties of white flour and two oceans per person!"

In the face of coercion and temptation, more than a hundred stubborn troops finally stabilized their formation.

"Call me!"

When the leader of the stubborn army gave an order, there were continuous crackling and chaotic gunshots, including two light machine guns.

It's just that the artillery position of the company is beyond the effective range of the opposite side, and it is in a depression. The stubborn army on the opposite side seems to have a lot of momentum, but it has no effect at all.

"Fuck, you're fucking giving me face!" The company commander estimated the time, and immediately ordered: "Boom!"

"Tom tom tom!" The first round of artillery shells landed near the stubborn army's position, and thick smoke suddenly rose from the opposite side, and the gunshots were also sluggish.

"Don't be confused, Tuba Road is bluffing, how many shells they can have, hold on, hold on!" The leader of the stubborn army is still trying to suppress the team.

In fact, the first round of shells just now can only be regarded as a test firing, and did not cause too many casualties to the stubborn army.

Immediately followed by the second round of shells, especially a few small cannons, one person carried the small cannons, and the other was responsible for carrying the shells, and the positions could be switched at any time.

After intensive training by the Japanese artillery instructors, the shots were accurate and ruthless, extremely tricky, where the gunshots were dense, the shells were aimed specifically at that side.

Recruits are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of machine guns. The lethality of artillery shells can easily collapse the psychological defense of recruits who have just entered the battlefield.

After another precise bombing of the recalcitrant army's position, the recalcitrant army immediately collapsed. No matter how the leader shouted, they ran to the town one by one.

"The trumpeter, blow the charge!" The company commander shouted when he saw this.

With the resonant sound of the trumpet, a company of more than a hundred soldiers rushed towards the town.

Seeing this, the fleeing stubborn soldiers ran even faster, fearing they would fall behind, a group of Wu Yang Wu Yang ran from outside the town towards the town, smashing down the defense line at the entrance of the town along the way.

"Hey, you ran really fast, after all, you still overestimated the fighting power of the stubborn army!"

From the perspective of combat effectiveness alone, any platoon of a regiment can defeat two or three hundred stubborn troops with their weapons and equipment, but the difficulty is to capture prisoners.

Chaos in the Shunhe Collection turned into a pot of porridge. The stubborn soldiers hid everywhere, eager to get into the cracks in the ground. Some ran back home, and some ran towards the high-walled compound of the landlord's house.

Those who ran slowly were captured by a company of soldiers, and the stubborn soldiers who ran in three directions were blocked by a row of gunshots.
Under the leadership of the local comrades, they launched an offensive against several landlords in Shunheji, with the local Jia family as the leader.

Even if the high-walled compound was used as a barrier, it was difficult to withstand the continuous artillery, and several landlords raised white flags one after another.

"He is Jia Daquan. Our captain was beheaded by him and hung on the wall of Shunheji for three days. In order to get back the captain's body, our guerrillas sacrificed another seven comrades!" A local guerrilla fighter said Seeing that Jia Daquan's eyes were red, he wished he could eat him alive.

"Comrade Eighth Route Army, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Jia Daquan knew the Eighth Route Army very well, so he called him Comrade when he came up.

"Who the hell is your comrade, who wants to get close to me, and you are worthy, come, someone, take these blood-debt guys out and cut them down!" The company commander said impatiently.

When Jia Daquan heard this, he immediately collapsed on the ground, urinating and excreting.
