Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Back to Long Town.

Li Ziwen had been observing the battle situation ahead, and when he saw two [-]-type infantry guns blown up by the Japanese army, he immediately realized that the little devil was about to run away.

"Captain, the little devil is going to run away!"

After hearing this, Jing Dagang sneered, "Run, where are you going?"

Right now, except for the artillery company, all the troops of the regiment are pressing up. Jing Dagang has no extra troops to detour to the front to intercept the Japanese troops who are trying to escape.

But this does not mean that Jing Dagang has nothing to do with the little devil. At this time, the two are standing behind the artillery company's position.

"Deng Chengwu, don't save the shells, the artillery company will use shells to stop the little devil!" Jing Dagang said to the artillery company commander Deng Chengwu.

"Yes!"

The six 82 mortars of the artillery company continued to shell the assembled Japanese army, while the four [-]-type infantry guns continued to bombard the advancing direction of the Japanese army.

The commander of the Japanese army, who commanded the battle, reacted very quickly when the battle started. He realized that there were a lot of Eighth Route Army soldiers encircling him, and that they would be trapped in a hard fight. In addition, the battlefield was far away from the main force of the imperial army, so he decided to save his strength immediately. Break through first.

But he never expected that the Eighth Route Army he was fighting against was not an ordinary Eighth Route Army unit, and his reaction speed was equally quick.

"Boom!" An explosion sounded nearby, and several Japanese soldiers around were hit by shrapnel one after another. The accompanying medical soldiers hurriedly moved the wounded soldiers to a safe place for bandaging.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was too violent. The artillery shells intercepted the troops' advance direction, and the soldiers couldn't rush out!" said the adjutant at the side.

"Baga, how could this group of Eighth Route Army have so many shells? It's unreasonable. The damned First Brigade actually concealed the true strength of the Eighth Route Army!"

At this time, the situation on the battlefield became chaotic. More than [-] Japanese troops were still fighting fiercely with the Sixth Company on the hill as the rear troops. A small unit of the Japanese army.

The guard company advancing in the middle bit the rear troops of the Japanese army firmly.

It took three to five minutes from the time when the Japanese army retreated and assembled to being intercepted by artillery fire, but it was these three to five minutes that allowed the troops on the left and right wings to seize the opportunity.

"Quick, don't let the little devil run away!" Although the second battalion commander Geng Erdong only had an infantry company in his hand, he did not give in and led the soldiers to the front.

Braving the hail of bullets, the soldiers charging on both sides kept getting shot and fell down.

Although the troops in charge of the outflanking on the two wings have strengthened a heavy machine gun company, it is useless at this critical moment. It all depends on the bravery of the soldiers to step forward and bite the little devil.

In an instant, the soldiers on both sides handed over hand in hand and fought together.

At this time, the Japanese army was under continuous shelling, and the personnel were divided into two groups. The Japanese army on the main battlefield was less than [-] people.

On the other hand, although the group of soldiers who came up had suffered losses during the charge, there were four infantry companies and guard companies, with a total of more than [-] people.

As Jing Dagang said in answer to Zhou Weihan before, the combat effectiveness of a regiment needs to be tested on the battlefield.

Although the soldiers from both sides fought together, the group of soldiers was quite organized, and there were few people who were alone. Two or three soldiers formed a group and strangled the little devils who were alone.

The combat effectiveness of the regiment also surprised the Japanese Major. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the Japanese Major simply ordered hand-to-hand combat to defeat the encircled Eighth Route Army.

Unexpectedly, as far as the eye could see, the battlefield was filled with the wailing and wounded soldiers of the Japanese army.

Watching this scene, the Japanese Major's scalp felt numb, and the background of the [-]-odd Japanese soldiers he led was not simple.

This group of Japanese troops is a quick-reaction force specially formed by the [-]th Division. The members are all veterans selected from the [-]th Division.

This time, he was specially seconded by Sadaji Suzuki to drill into the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army for a surprise attack.

Who would have thought that this group of little devils had a bad start, or that Zhou Weihan's side was favored by the national fortune, so that the little devils bumped into a group that also detoured the Zhang River.

"Baga, give it a shot!" Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was approaching continuously, and the Eighth Route Army was everywhere, the Japanese commander drew out his saber and rushed towards a group of soldiers.

"careful!"

Cai Dali, a soldier of the Ninth Company, was born in martial arts. When he joined the army, he liked to use a big gun. However, the army pays attention to team fighting, so he abandoned the gun and used the bayonet instead.

Cai Dali saw a Japanese officer rushing forward, swiping the bayonet in his hand and swiping away the commander's saber of the Japanese army.

The force was so great that the Japanese army commander forced him to take two steps back before gaining a firm foothold.

"Baga!" The Japanese soldier Shao Zuo clenched his command saber tightly, feeling a little sore in the tiger's mouth.

Before he could react further, a soldier in Cai Dali's group with a broadsword in his right hand raised his left hand and shot.

As the gunshots sounded, the Japanese army major slowly knelt on the ground unwillingly.

Cai Dali stepped forward and took a look: "Hey, you're still a major, Shi Yuansheng, you got a great deal!"

The words are divided into two parts.

On the Beigaodi side, Dong Jiang led the soldiers to open boxes of weapons and equipment brought by the little devils, and carefully checked them.

Zhou Weihan on the mountain has already received a bunch of telegrams.

"I didn't expect it. It's really not easy for the little devils. They almost sneaked into our base area without making a sound. If these little devils arrive, it will be difficult for the political commissar!" Zhou Weihan said with lingering fear.

"Yeah, fortunately, I was bumped into by a group by mistake. Otherwise, it would be troublesome. This time, the little devil really made a lot of noise. Just watch it. Although there is no movement of the Japanese army in Anyang, it must be Not far from us!"

"Once the Fushimi Palace is in the hands of the little devil, it's time for the big troops behind it to approach!" Li Yunlong said on the side.

Zhou Weihan is also very troubled by this. War is not only a battle on the frontal battlefield, but also an indispensable part of intelligence warfare behind the scenes.

It's just that there is no effective information from the enemy's engineering department. On the other hand, the Japanese army can quietly approach the base area, which also shows that the Eighth Route Army's foundation in the Japanese-occupied areas and guerrilla areas is weak, so the news was not known in advance.

This kind of crappy feeling is not good.

Before Zhou Weihan received a group of telegrams, the third group and the fourth group sent telegrams one after another. The telegrams stated that a large number of Japanese troops appeared at their locations.

Liangpu area.

The third regiment went south from Nanle, originally to keep an eye on the 76th Independent Infantry Battalion of the Japanese Independent First Mixed Brigade with Puyang as the core.

The main force of the Japanese army is in Puyang, and there are Japanese troops stationed under its command in Puxian to the east, Qingfeng to the north, and Dongming to the south.

After the third regiment left the base area, it quickly rushed to the vicinity of the joint road between Qingfeng and Puyang.

According to Zhou Weihan's prediction, once the battle started, the Japanese army in Puyang would definitely go northward along the road to attack the base area, and one of the missions of the third regiment was to stop this group of Japanese troops.

At this time, along the highway from Puyang north to Qingfeng.

The gunshots continued, and the three regiments were divided into three groups under the command of Wu Qin, and they were fighting tenaciously along the highway.

The battalion at the top had the worst battle. Due to the sudden move of the Japanese army to the north, under the tense time, the first battalion fought the Japanese army before they could even build a position.

The headquarters of the third regiment was set up on a high ground four or five miles away from the east side of the highway.

"Regimental Commander, the Second Battalion has finished building its position!" The correspondent of the regiment headquarters rushed back to report.

"Okay, you are working hard, go to the commander of the first battalion immediately, and the first battalion will immediately retreat to the back of the third battalion!" Wu Qin said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

After the correspondent left, Wang Lin, the political commissar of the Third Regiment, put down his binoculars and frowned: "Regimental Commander, there is something wrong with these little devils. According to the previous information, the 76th Battalion of the Japanese Independent Infantry is stationed in the Liangpu area. At best, there are more than a thousand people!"

"Look at the present, the Japanese army alone has a brigade and a half, with at least four mountain cannons accompanying the army, and the puppet army has at least [-] people. Even if the little devil gathers all the troops in the Liangpu area here, it won't be so There are so many people!"

"Hmph, what's so strange about this, it must be the Japanese army from Kaifeng, and there is only one explanation!" Wu Qin snorted coldly: "But don't be afraid, even though our three regiments can't handle these Japanese and puppet troops, don't worry about it." Want to pass under our noses!"

On the other side, the situation faced by the Fourth Regiment was even worse.

More than [-] Japanese soldiers from Xinxiang, plus a tank squadron, brought together the Japanese troops from Junxian County and Huaxian County. A total of more than [-] Japanese troops marched across the endless plains and marched towards Neihuang.

The scouts sent out by the Fourth Regiment immediately rushed back to report after learning about the situation.

At that time, Wang Yigong was leading people to choose a suitable position, but the surrounding terrain was really not suitable for blocking. If it was summer, there would be a green gauze tent as a cover.

Let alone whether it is suitable for fighting, once the Japanese army has no intention of fighting, they can immediately turn around and take a detour.

When Wang Yigong received the news reported by the scouts, his face suddenly sank,

Then Wang Yigong ordered the Fourth Regiment and One Battalion to stay here to fight the Japanese army, and the main force of the Fourth Regiment retreated for more than [-] miles, waiting for an opportunity to find favorable terrain and block it.

Looking at the entire Hebei-Shandong-Henan region, except for Neihuang, where the Eighth Route Army traded with the Japanese army, there was no fighting, and fighting took place in other places.

More than [-] Japanese and puppet troops in Guancheng, which is the closest to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region in northwest Shandong, went deep into the base area alone. Tan Lin led an independent group to deal with it.

The Japanese troops in Fan County and Chaocheng were tightly entangled by the troops sent by the Luxi Military Region, unable to move.

The main force of the Luxi Military Region is deployed on the east side, always on guard against the dispatch of Japanese troops in Tai'an and Yanzhou along the Jinpu Railway.

In addition, the Supplementary Regiment of the 280th Division of the Tainan Military Region on the west side of Anyang and the [-]th Regiment of Yang Han were dispatched again to flank the western area of ​​Anyang again according to the previously implemented plan.

A series of battles due to the trade of Fushimi Gong Mingyi intensified. On the contrary, Beigaodi, where Zhou Weihan was located, was peaceful.

At this time, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the far north also learned of the battles that took place in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

After the boss listened to the report from the Intelligence Department, the muscles on his face twitched visibly, and then he said, "Zhou Weihan is really a master, there are nearly [-] troops in our Eighth Route Army alone. Not too small!"

The deputy chief of staff at the side said: "This time the Japanese army's reaction was really violent, and it can be said to be a big fight. We didn't expect this before. It seems that Zhou Weihan really hit the Japanese army's pain point!"

"Yes, send a telegram to Zhou Weihan immediately, asking how the battle is going, and at the same time, share all the information reported by the intelligence department about the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area with Zhou Weihan in time!"

"It's very difficult for Zhou Weihan right now, we must do our best to help!" The boss finally said.

At the same time, here at Beigaodi.

After Zhou Weihan learned that there were successive battles in the surrounding area, especially the one group that had just ended the battle and was on the way to the south forcibly marching.

In response to this situation, Zhou Weihan sent a monk to inform Dong Jiang, and continued to delay the time to buy time for the group.

At this time, Zhou Weihan and Li Yunlong were sitting together, carefully analyzing the several telegrams they had received.

"Unfortunately, the intelligence of the enemy engineering department is one step late. Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army in Kaifeng must have been dispatched secretly yesterday, otherwise they would not be able to reach the Liangpu area now!" Zhou Weihan said with a little regret.

"Report, the telegram forwarded by the headquarters!" The telegraph operator who was in the mountain temple stood up and reported.

Li Yunlong hurried over to receive the telegram, turned around, glanced at it quickly, and then read the telegram to Zhou Weihan.

"That's right. The Japanese brigade headquarters in Anyang City have mobilized some Japanese troops from Tangyin, Qi County, and Ji County. In addition to the mobile forces of the Japanese Army in Anyang City, there are more than [-] soldiers in total. Depart from the Zhangzhuang stronghold outside Anyang City, all the way to the east!"

"The Japanese army in Kaifeng dispatched a brigade of infantry and a squadron of mountain artillery, which arrived outside Puyang City last night, but did not enter the city!"

"One of the Japanese troops around Xinxiang went north to station in Anyang, and the other was dispatched this morning with a tank squadron!"

Zhou Weihan said after hearing this: "After all, it is the headquarters, the intelligence force is stronger than ours!"

"The little devil wants to advance in three directions at the same time, plus one way to sneak attack the base area. This is to bloom internally and externally. It's a pity, the little devil is daydreaming!" Li Yunlong saw through the Japanese army's plot at a glance.

Right now, the post of Chief of Staff of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region is vacant, and Xing Zhiguo is not with Zhou Weihan. Li Yunlong is a replacement for the establishment of the Chief of Staff for a while, and he is good at analyzing intelligence.

"Hmph, no matter what, as long as Fushimi Gong Mingyi is still in our hands, we have the initiative. Now, with a single word, I will not only take away the equipment in front of me, but also annihilate the Japanese army dispatched from Anyang in one fell swoop! "Zhou Weihan said in a deep voice.
