Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

"Hey, leader, I'm Liang Shengquan!" After Zhang Dabiao heard a rustling noise in the walkie-talkie, Liang Shengquan's voice came: "I'm Zhang Dabiao, have you figured out the situation of the little devil?"

"Regimental Commander, the place where the Japanese troops are stationed is called Houjiazhai. From the map, it is only [-] miles away from Dazhao Village where the regiment headquarters is located!"

"We just scratched our tongues. According to the confession, this group of little devils is the 35th Battalion of the 220th Regiment of the 45th Division. There is no full staff, the number is about 45 to 900, including some lightly wounded, there is no additional reinforcement of mountain artillery, and all supplies are transported by mules and horses. This trip is at the request of the Japanese Army of the 1000th Division. Cao County reinforcements!"

"As for why the tongues caught in Houjiazhai were only ordinary soldiers of the Japanese army, I don't know the specific reason, regiment commander, as far as I personally guess, this group of Japanese troops may have discovered or predicted that my Eighth Route Army has a The main force of the gang is nearby, so that's why they stopped!" Liang Shengquan said all the information he got.

Originally, scouting the enemy was not an easy task, but now is not an ordinary time, and Liang Shengquan did not hesitate to be exposed, and directly captured a single little devil from the Japanese search force.

"Okay, I know that the reconnaissance company will continue to pay attention to the movements of this group of Japanese troops. The news that the Japanese troops of the 35th Division were wiped out in Cao County cannot be concealed tonight. The partial division will definitely go north to join its main force!" Zhang Dabiao said.

"Yes, I understand!" Liang Shengquan replied.

Zhang Dabiao ended the communication and said to several battalion commanders present: "Did you all hear that just now?"

"Listen clearly, regiment commander, the number of my new regiment is twice that of this group of Japanese soldiers, go ahead, this is a piece of fat, eat this group of Japanese soldiers, our new regiment can expand at least one battalion!"

"The worst thing is to surround this group of devils stationed in Houjiaji, or what if they run away?" said the third battalion commander.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army's offensive is really too fierce. According to reports from the soldiers, the Eighth Route Army on the east, west, and south sides may have thousands of people in total, and there are even established artillery to assist in the battle. This is only a one-time investment. There are more troops waiting for our department to throw themselves into the trap!"

"Sir, is there only these contents?" asked the adjutant beside him.

The Japanese army, stunned by the artillery fire just now, woke up and desperately blocked the way forward with machine guns. The bullets hit the soldiers who were charging like locusts.

On the other side, in the headquarters, the deputy chief of staff has gone to rest, but Zhou Weihan has been sitting in the headquarters.

As the so-called side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore and sleep, no matter how good your relationship with the New Eighth Army and the Eighth Route Army is, after all, you are not from the same way now, not to mention, after the New Eighth Army occupied Chaocheng and Fan County, they have been sneaking around on the west side city ​​development.

At the same time, on the east side, the soldiers of the new regiment of the guard company took charge of the main attack task, and they flew towards the Datuweizi at the entrance of the village like a sharp knife.

"Hurry up, the little devil is going to counterattack, take care of the supply company and the heavy machine gun platoon, and defend Datuweizi!" The captain of the guard company shouted.

Regarding how to deal with the attack, Zhang Dabiao had already had an idea in his mind: "The First Regiment, the Assault Regiment and other departments are on their way, and the current task of our department is to trap this group of Japanese troops so that they cannot go north!"

"My lords, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the imperial army. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. The imperial army cannot withstand such a blow. I have decided to change the original battle plan!"

Zhang Dabiao took the telegram and narrowed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind: "Do it"

In the sky full of gunpowder smoke, the heavy machine guns deployed by the Japanese army on Datuweizi were immediately pulled out, the guard company commander took the lead, and the soldiers flocked to Tuweizi like a tide.

"Division commander, the search troops sent out reported that the Eighth Route Army troops that went north to the Liangpu area were going south, and seemed to be encircling our troops. At the same time, the Eighth Route Army troops that were fighting with our troops suddenly stepped up their offensive not long ago. "A little devil officer stepped forward and said.

"Our troops attacked the defense line set up by the Eighth Route Army at the entrance of the village many times, but were all repulsed. The Eighth Route Army even shouted at the entrance of the village that our troops were surrounded by the main forces of the Eighth Route Army and ordered the imperial army to immediately lay down their weapons and surrender on the spot. Keep a prisoner!"

"What's the current situation in the north of the village?"

Datuweizi was occupied, like a nail being inserted into the village. After the supply company and the heavy machine gun platoon arrived, the guard company commander concentrated all the light machine guns and three heavy machine guns to form a semi-arc firepower network. The counterattack from the Japanese army was contained, and the Japanese army's thoughts of breaking out from the east were completely cut off.

"As long as the imperial army wins in the end, no matter how much my 35th division sacrifices, it is worth it. Many, please go and prepare. In order to live up to the trust of General Gangmura, for the great Japanese Empire, and for His Majesty the Emperor, we must Let the last drop of blood be shed!" Harada Kumayoshi looked around at the crowd, his tone slightly tragic.

Requested the Japanese Army of the 32nd Division to place the main target around Heze, and temporarily gave up the plan to attack the Luxi base of the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, it requested the 21st Division to change the combat route, and to attack along the Shanxian, Chengwu, and Dingtao lines instead of breaking through Yucheng, sweeping Cao County, where the Eighth Route Army may be empty, and then went north to attack Heze.

Matsumoto and Si Wenyan shook their heads, and their faces could not hide their panic. He already knew the news that the Japanese army of the [-]th Division had lost contact. Matsumoto and Si knew what it meant.

The adjutant has never seen Harada Kumakichi in such a depressed state: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, you must cheer up, the warriors need to win under your leadership!"

In the ensuing period of time, the battle between the enemy and us around Houjiazhai came to a stalemate. The Japanese army could not break through the soil enclosure firmly held by the Eighth Route Army. Get to the bottom of it.

After the adjutant left, Kazuji Matsumoto asked the telegrapher to send a report to the headquarters of the 35th Division again, and the content was full of urgency.

In the telegram, it directly stated that the Zhongze Detachment of the 35th Division was most likely to be completely wiped out by the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Cao County, and that the 35th Division was in a predicament surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. It also indicated that the [-]th Division wanted to attract the main force of the Eighth Route Army to Yu Dongming The determination of the territory.

During the operation of the reconnaissance company, sporadic gunshots alarmed the Japanese army stationed in Houjiazhai. Immediately, before the Japanese army had any more reactions, three signal flares rose in the direction south of Houjiazhai, like a brilliant The evening glow dyed half of the sky red.

"The sweep of the imperial army has just begun. Why is it so passive and constrained by the Eighth Route Army everywhere? Order the troops to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. The main force of the division will arrive at dawn!" Matsumoto and Si said in a deep voice.

After receiving the telegram forwarded by Tan Lin, in the telegram, Wang Zenan speculated that the New Eighth Army had taken a military operation to seize the Liangpu area.

Seeing that the advance of the security company was blocked, the commander of the security company was so anxious that his eyes burned and he waved his hand: "Everyone buy time for the grenadier team!"

"Now that the Japanese army is firmly guarding Houjiazhai, if our troops forcefully launch an attack, the casualties will be serious. If it is only surrounded on all sides, the troops are too scattered, and it is impossible to build a defense line in a short time. If the Japanese army concentrates its forces to break through to one side, how can it be blocked? ?”

"Hey, allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor!" All the little devil officers present shouted in unison.

"I have sent many search troops, but none of them returned to report the situation. The Eighth Route Army must have heavy soldiers lying in ambush on the way to the north, waiting for the imperial army to throw themselves into the trap. Sir, you must not break out to the north!" the adjutant advised.

The rapid advance of the guard company caused the Japanese army in the village to lose the defensive point at the entrance of the village. Looking around, there were black devils rushing over from all over the village.

"Sir, how did the Divisional Headquarters respond to the call? How should our department act?" said the adjutant at the side.

The first battalion and the second battalion lived in hiding on the north side and did not attack. The third battalion, the fourth battalion and the regiment directly under the regiment were arranged in the east, west and south directions respectively, and the new artillery company on the east side provided assistance.

The new regiment was brought out by Li Yunlong, and the commanders and fighters up and down had a bit of Li Yunlong's shadow on them. If Li Yunlong was here, he would definitely be eager to eat the Japanese army in front of him.

"Captain, what should we do?"

"However, division commander, once our troops go south, the Eighth Route Army will follow, and the situation on the battlefield will become more chaotic, and may eventually get out of control!" the captain of the 220th regiment questioned.

"So what if you know, you can't quench your thirst from far away, and where did General Gangcun mobilize troops for reinforcements? We are the sinners of the Great Japanese Empire, and we have caused the Eighth Route Army to grow to the present level. This is probably the last time I dispatched troops from North China. Organize heavy troops to sweep the Eighth Route Army's base areas, once the plan fails, how will you restrict the development of the Eighth Route Army in the future, I hope other imperial army units can win the final victory!" Harada Xiongji said disheartened.

The story is divided into two parts. The main force of the 35th Division, which is fighting the Eighth Route Army west of Heze, is also aware of the seriousness of the situation.

After the many little devil officers left, many civilian staff of the 35th Division Division Headquarters also began to pack their bags. Taking advantage of this gap, Harada Kumayoshi thought twice and sent a telegram to the 21st Division and the 32nd Division respectively.

The guard company soldiers who rushed to the front spontaneously blocked the front of the grenadier team, forming a barrier with their flesh and blood, blocking the Japanese machine gun fire.

"What should we do? We can only gamble!" Zhang Dabiao had a murderous look in his eyes: "The Japanese army doesn't know the number of our troops. This is our current advantage!"

"Do you need to send a telegram to the dispatched army headquarters to inform General Gangcun of our current plight!"

Immediately afterwards, the artillery company's intensive artillery bombarded the soil fence at the entrance of the village on the east side of Houjiaji. The deer villages and barbed wire fences temporarily arranged by the Japanese army at the entrance of the village, like a hornet's nest set ablaze by the fire, rose into the sky one after another.

"Hey, you really slipped in by setting a trap for you?" Zhou Weihan looked at the telegram in his hand, instead of being angry, he showed a smirk.

"Since ancient times in China, there has been a saying in the art of war that is worth learning from all lords. If you are desperate, the immediate task of our department is to keep the confluence with the 45th brigade and strengthen the imperial army so as to hold back more of the main force of the Eighth Route Army and form the 32nd Division. , The 21st division fights for time!"

"How did this happen? Disrupted!" Harada Kumakichi pressed his temples with both hands, trying to stabilize his chaotic thoughts. The multiple telegrams sent by Matsumoto Kazuki disturbed him, causing Harada Kumakichi to be more and more concerned about the current situation. can't read.

Although there was no artillery support from artillery companies on the west and south sides, most of the Japanese troops were attracted to the east after the guard companies took the lead, creating opportunities for the third and fourth battalions. Completed the scheduled task.

"That's all!" Harada Kumayoshi waved his hand and said.

In the village, the little devils became a mess. After the artillery company stabilized the situation, they continued to shell the village.

"Except for a small number of troops to hold back the enemy in front of us, the rest of the main force quickly went south to join the 45th Brigade. At the same time, we sent a telegram to order the imperial army and Sun Dianying's troops in Huaxian County and Junxian County, which are fighting the Eighth Route Army, to immediately advance eastward to Dongming territory!" Harada Kumakichi ordered.

In the middle of the night, before the reinforcements arrived, in order to prevent the Japanese army from going north, the units of the Xinyi Regiment quickly encircled Houjiaji, and at the same time, the reconnaissance company launched a campaign to clear up the search forces on the periphery of the Japanese army.

Several grenade teams also lived up to expectations. A dozen or so grenades were accurately bombarded near the raging light machine guns of the Japanese army. Then the guard company quickly arrived at Datuweizi. With dozens of flower organs in their hands, they will be stationed here The Japanese squad was wiped out.

Just as Zhang Dabiao was hesitating, the radio station that was being set up beeped. After receiving the telegram, the telegraph operator got up and reported: "Regimental Commander, the military command will send the telegram directly!"

The decisiveness of the Eighth Route Army in launching the battle exceeded the expectations of the Japanese troops stationed in Houjiazhai. Before the battle began, the Japanese troops in the village were still hesitating whether to continue eastward or northward to join the main force.

As Captain Hou of Houjiazhai said before, the entire Houjiazhai is full of small roads leaving the village. In order not to disperse the troops too much and at the same time narrow the encirclement, Zhang Dabiao ordered the troops deployed in the three directions of east, west, south, To launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army at all costs, the position must be pushed forward to the entrance of the village.

During the period in Guancheng, there were no major conflicts with the Eighth Route Army, but small conflicts continued. Whenever the Eighth Route Army sent people to negotiate, Gao Shuxun claimed that they were his subordinates. Light down, fooling around.

If Tan Lin hadn't been persuading Zhou Weihan to focus on the overall situation, the situation would not have escalated.

Zhou Weihan kept these things in mind all the time. This time, the Fifth Regiment and the 19th Regiment could easily take the Liangpu area, but they never did it. Zhou Weihan dug a hole and waited for the New Eighth Army to jump down.

Dirty work, work that offends people, you New Eighth Army did it for me, and as much as you eat, you will spit it out for me with profit.

very sorry
