The journey to the heavens starts from the underground station

Chapter 212 Dagu Town

Early morning on August [-]nd.

The city of Ping'an was lively all night, not only the soldiers stayed up all night because they were busy with post-war affairs, but also the common people in the county town stayed up all night.

Eight Routes took down the county town, drove away the little devils, and arrested the traitors for public trial. The people were like Chinese New Year, even more lively than Chinese New Year, and the sound of firecrackers for celebration continued all night.

Casualties and battle results are also counted.

In this campaign, the Independence Regiment suffered more than 200 casualties, but wiped out 500 devils and nearly [-] puppet troops, and captured more than [-] devils and more than [-] puppet troops.

The street fighting, which was expected to cause the most casualties, was easily taken down due to the existence of rockets. Instead, it was the last attack on the devil's gun tower and was bombed by the devil's plane, which cost a lot of casualties.

The puppet army held a public trial overnight, and all those who committed crimes and oppressed the people on weekdays were all tried. Those who were fooling around or were forced to arrest strong men were given travel expenses and dismissed on the spot, and they could return to their hometowns to work in agriculture. They were willing to stay and fight devils together can also.

The captive devils are even more miserable.

The army is disciplined and it is not allowed to abuse prisoners, even the captured devils. Zhao Gang immediately stopped Li Yunlong's idea of ​​shooting the devils prisoners of war on the spot, and sent a company overnight to escort these prisoners to the [-]th Division.

Li Yunlong did not express any objection, and for safety, he specially sent a monk with a special force to escort him, and whispered a few words to the monk before leaving.

With a fierce look in the monk's eyes, he looked at the devil's prisoner with an unkind expression.

Anyway, the brigade headquarter sent the rewards to the independent regiment and the warnings to Li Yunlong and the Liangshan Special Forces together afterwards, and Zhao Gang scolded Li Yunlong in a perfunctory manner.

There are more seized.

12 rifles, Zhongzheng rifles, made in Hanyang, all kinds of light and heavy machine guns, including those in stock, there are a total of about 92 pieces; grenades, mortars, add up to about [-] pieces, the only pity is the [-] [-] The infantry gun was melted by the high temperature, and only some useful parts could be disassembled. The rest, as Li Yu said, was used for forging knives.

A lot of reserve tickets, military tickets, oceans, and gold bars were also seized, but there were not many supplies such as food and medicine. Self-sufficient, not only to be self-sufficient, but also to search for supplies to support the country.

Other places are fine, but in the territory of Ping'an County, the devils are squeezed by the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army and can't leave the county town or the artillery stronghold. Where can they go to search for supplies?Just that little food, or through the Jinsui Army...

Or how can I say that Yan Laoxi is indecisive and forgets his righteousness when he sees small profits!

Next to the devil's already burned headquarters.

Shanxi Northwest Iron Triangle gathered again.

Perhaps there were too many weapons seized, and the independent regiment couldn't digest them. In this battle, it was rare for Li Yunlong not to eat alone, but let Ding Wei and Kong Jie choose.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were not too polite. The independent regiment had expanded to more than 7000 people, which was more than their two regiments combined.

This time a lot of weapons were seized. The New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment each divided up [-] rifles, ten light and heavy machine guns, and [-] rounds of ammunition.

The remaining light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenades, and other supplies were left to the independent regiment.

The independent group is the protagonist.

As for being embarrassed?Stop talking nonsense, how could Ding Wei and Kong Jie have such emotions!
"Old Li, this Ping'an County has also been taken down, are you planning to garrison it or not?"

The three of them got together, all smiling, Ding Wei took out a cigarette and lighted it up for Li Yunlong graciously.

"I see, Lao Li will most likely move the regiment headquarters to the county seat, and also enjoy the addiction of the county magistrate?" Rejecting Ding Wei's cigarettes, Kong Jie took out his own cigarette pouch and filled a bag, and took out the seized cigarettes. Light the match slowly and speak casually.

"Pure nonsense!"

"Our old Li is a native villager, but he can't do the work of the county magistrate!"

"As for Ping'an County..." Li Yunlong pondered for a moment.

"What?" they both asked at the same time.

"Of course it is impossible to give up!"

"The little devil is dead. The army is so empty. Among the devils we killed this time, there were quite a few fifteen or sixteen-year-old children. This war is about to come to an end. The little devil probably won't come to counterattack." Li Yunlong took it for granted He replied: "In this case, why should I withdraw from Ping'an County?"

"The independent regiment withdrew from Ping'an County, and the Jinsui Army probably had to take advantage of it. Hehe, there is something you don't know yet. Yesterday, they attacked the county seat, north,"

Li Yunlong pointed in the direction of Heyuan County: "Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment not only sent troops to stop the devil's reinforcements, he also took advantage of Laozi's mobilization of troops and sent troops to occupy Dagu Town! Huzi! Bring the map!"

"Look!"

When Huzi brought up the map, Li Yunlong spread the map on the ground and found the location of Dagu Town.

"Here! Chu Yunfei put two battalions here! One infantry battalion and one artillery battalion! Put it in this position, tell me, who is he attacking?"

Dagu Town is located in the middle of the independent group's activities. Zhaojiayu belongs to Dagu Town in terms of geographical division and administration.

In other words, the two battalions of the 358th Regiment are not far from Zhaojiayu. Even if the artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment moves a little further west, Zhaojiayu will be within range!
Chu Yunfei stabbed the independent group's nose with a gun!How could Li Yunlong endure it?

"He really shouldn't take our old Li as a ignorant! I think he doesn't want this precious artillery battalion of Chu Yunfei!"

"Old Li, don't make trouble! After all, this is a period of cooperation, and we must focus on the overall situation." Ding Wei reminded, then changed the subject, and said: "However, people don't offend me, I don't offend others, Dagu The position of the town is usually invisible, but once the situation changes, the 358th regiment will occupy a strong position!"

"Yeah, this war is not over yet, and he is already thinking about the next one! Lao Li, what are you going to do?" Kong Jie asked.

"What should I do? Hehe!" Li Yunlong smiled slyly, and the corner of his eyes just turned to Li Yu who was walking this way. Li Yunlong quickly waved: "Little Lizi! Come here!"

"What's the ghost's name! What little plum, it sounds like a eunuch!"

Li Yu complained dissatisfiedly, and he didn't know where Li Yunlong learned it, he learned it badly!

"Old Li, are you free? The army just finished the battle, and I, the political commissar and Lao Xing are busy like dogs, why don't you just sit here and talk nonsense?" Li Yu took out a notebook from his pocket, and slapped it on the ground In front of Li Yunlong: "Look, this is the garrison list I arranged, can you see if there is anything to change?"

The independent regiment not only doesn't know Ping'an County, but also has to garrison in Ping'an County. The local Ping'an County Committee Secretary Duan took people to the county seat yesterday afternoon and took over the county's administration.

Li Yu just arranged for the garrison in Ping'an County and the dispatch of troops to settle the payment, or to hunt down the devils in the gun towers around the county.

Once the county seat was lost, the Japanese and puppet troops in the few remaining artillery strongholds around the county seat could not sit still.

While the Independence Regiment was still clearing up the county town, the devils in these blockhouses made the same choice almost at the same time: hand over the blockhouse to the puppet army, and ordered the puppet army to persist in resisting, while they ran away overnight.

Can't run!
The county is gone, even if the independent regiment doesn't beat them, their supplies will be gone, if they stay any longer, they will starve to death sooner or later!

The puppet soldiers left behind were not stupid either. The devils clearly ran away. They became bereaved dogs. They were doomed to be wiped out for their stubborn resistance. The puppet soldiers made the same choice almost without discussion.

Before dawn, the puppet troops who came to surrender arrived.Almost as soon as the devil ran, he went to the county town to find the puppet army who surrendered on the eighth route and set off!
Guan Dashan was sent to take a battalion of soldiers to receive the gun tower in several ways, and Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan were sent to try to hunt down the escaped devils. Li Yu just came to Li Yunlong to discuss the garrison after he had finished his busy work.

Li Yunlong opened the book and saw that there were so many kids inside that it gave him a headache. He glanced at it hastily, but luckily he knew most of the words on it.

"Are you going to let the third battalion stay in Ping'an County?"

The so-called old three battalions refer to the first to third battalions. The battalion commanders are Guan Dashan, Shen Quan, and Zhang Dabiao. These three battalions are the old foundation of the independent regiment.

Moreover, these three battalions were the earliest to develop, with the strongest combat effectiveness and the largest scale. They were all reinforced battalions with more than a thousand people.

"Yes, the southeast of Ping'an County is still occupied by the devils after all. I plan to leave one battalion to guard the county, and guard against the 358th regiment. The other two battalions, one going south, will eventually connect with the base of the new regiment, and the other will go to the south. Advance southeast, continue guerrilla warfare, and open up new base areas."

"The political commissar has also read it, and he also means the same."

"I have no objection, just follow your plan." Li Yunlong agreed, beckoning, and pointing to the map.

"I called you here for something else."

"Received the news in the early morning that Chu Yunfei sent two battalions to enter Dagu Town, and put their guns in front of my eyes!"

"I plan to clean them up!"

Li Yunlong glanced at Ding Wei and Kong Jie, continued to point to the map, and arranged: "I plan to send five battalions...Xiao Li, you will lead the team!"

"Yes!"

"Old Ding, Lao Kong, and Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment's supplies, no matter which direction they are transported from, they have to pass through the defense area of ​​our three regiments. When the time comes..."

Leaving aside the things in Ping'an City, Li Yu ordered five battalions of troops in the afternoon, carried weapons and ammunition, and marched in the direction of Dagu Town.

Among the five battalions, apart from an infantry battalion, there is also Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion.

Not in a hurry to fight, Li Yu put his marching speed at full speed, and it took him two days to finish the less than eighty miles.

It was just dark on August [-]rd, and the five battalions of the Independent Regiment quietly entered the outskirts of Dagu Town.

The next day, six in the morning.

The resounding reveille sounded simultaneously from the four directions of Dagu Town, southeast, northwest.

This is Li Yu's bad intentions. He deliberately asked five trumpeters to blow the bed horn in five directions at the same time, absolutely guaranteeing that the Jinsui Army in Dagu Town can be called up.

At the same time as the wake-up call sounded, the five battalions assembled half an hour earlier, 2000 people formed into fifteen phalanxes, shouted loudly, and began to run around Dagu Town.

There are several large courtyards in the center of Dagu Town, where the 358st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment and the Artillery Battalion are stationed.

The soldiers of the 358th regiment woke up from their sleep, put on their clothes and lined up with their guns and walked out of the barracks.

However, the officers of the battalion were not present.

The soldiers didn't have watches, so how could they know what time it was? They all followed orders.

Not long after, the two houses in the middle, the residences of the two battalion commanders of the battalion headquarters, opened their doors almost at the same time.

Wu Ziqiang, commander of the 358st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment, came out with his clothes on.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Wu Ziqiang was a little puzzled, the wake-up call was obviously not sounded from the station.

"Hey, Battalion Commander Liang, it's just six o'clock, and it's still half an hour before the time to wake up. Did you let the wake-up call be blown earlier?"

"No, I'm still wondering, I thought you arranged it?" Liang Guoping, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, also said with a puzzled expression.

As soon as the words were finished, the chant "One Two Three Four!" came from outside the courtyard. The two looked at each other and changed their expressions almost at the same time.

Since neither of them gave an order, and the sound of the trumpet came from outside, then...

"Quick! Bring the ladders over here and put them on the wall. The whole battalion has them. Get ready for battle!"

Things were strange, Wu Ziqiang didn't dare to let his soldiers go out rashly to find out the situation.

Soon, two ladders were brought over and placed on the eaves. The two battalion commanders climbed up the roof along the ladders, carefully lying on the back of the roof and looking over their heads, they were suddenly shocked.

Not far from the garrison, less than 500 meters apart, teams of Eighth Route soldiers lined up into more than a dozen targets were orderly chanting and running.

"Fuck! More than 900 people!" Wu Ziqiang counted and cursed angrily.

"Fortunately!" Liang Guoping felt lingering fear.

"It even touched our periphery without making a sound. Our sentry didn't notice it at all. Fortunately, it's not a devil!"

"He came here for us, can we find out?" Wu Ziqiang muttered angrily, got up and left the room: "Let's go!"

"What are you going to do?"

"What can you do, go to Eighth Road to negotiate!"

It was already half an hour after the two battalion commanders tidied up and thought up their speech.

In the outskirts of Dagu Town, the soldiers of the five battalions of the Independence Regiment have finished their routine five-kilometer run every morning. More than a dozen cooking teams have prepared meals. The soldiers, led by the company commanders, lined up to fight meal.

Li Yu took Sun Desheng, the commander of the Sixth Battalion, and a platoon of soldiers, and set up a stall not far from the Jinsui Army garrison. On the stall, there were stacks of military uniforms of the Japanese and puppet troops. It seemed that there were about a thousand pieces .

The people of Dagu Town gathered together in a short while.

"Folks, our Independence Regiment has taken down Ping'an County, and brought the little devil to the ground!"

"Okay!" "Good job!" "Chief of staff, how is my third child?" Li Yu just finished speaking, and the surrounding people applauded in unison.

Dagu Town was originally the territory of the Independence Regiment. The people in the town basically had relatives who were soldiers in the Independence Regiment, and most of the people knew Li Yu, the Chief of Staff of the Independence Regiment.

"Folks, be quiet!" Li Yu pressed his hands together: "This county has been conquered, and a lot of weapons and ammunition have been seized. These troops can use them. Only the army uniform of this devil and traitor can't be used by us. We are independent. There is no cloth dyeing workshop in the regiment!"

"So, I brought these clothes here, everyone took two pieces, went back and changed them, and dyed them with plant ash by themselves. You can wear them when you go to work in the field, or you can wear them for dolls if you make them smaller. Dislike it!"

"But there is one thing, everyone has to remember to change the style when you go back, otherwise you will be beaten to death by our own people when you go out wearing it, do you think you are wronged!"

"Everyone line up, old grandson, you send it to the fellow villagers."

"Haha!" The people burst into laughter.

Although it is the clothes of devils and traitors, the common people will not dislike them.They are all poor people, and some clothes are not bad.

No matter how ugly these clothes are, the children in the family are still naked!

As soon as Li Yu came out of the crowd, he raised his eyes and saw a group of Jinsui troops coming out of the station.

Li Yu went forward without fear.

At this time, Wu Ziqiang and Liang Guoping also saw Li Yu. As the battalion commander of the 358 regiment, although he had never seen Li Yu's face, he had seen Li Yu's portrait.

Chu Yunfei was drawn by someone, one of the few characters that the independent group needs to be wary of the most.

"Chief of Staff Lee."

Wu Ziqiang approached, and looked at Li Yu without fear, and the two sides were at war.

A platoon of soldiers who had just distributed clothes to the people quickly picked up their guns and planned to come up to protect them.

"Go back! Do what you should do!" Li Yu turned his head, waved his hand, and asked the soldiers to continue distributing clothes in a stern tone.

"If I'm not mistaken, the two should be Wu Ziqiang and Liang Guoping from the 358th regiment, right? Why, your regiment commander Chu didn't teach you how to salute when you meet the chief?"

Li Yu turned his face away, squinting his eyes half-closed, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"This... you are not Guo Jun." Liang Guoping muttered in a low voice.

"Look here!" Li Yu stared, pointing to the armband on his left arm.

"No.18 Army! Isn't it the battle order of the national army?"

"..."

"Hello sir!"

The two battalion commanders looked aggrieved and raised their arms to salute at the same time.
