Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Two days later, the people led by Li Yunlong also arrived in the mountains about three miles away from the Beishan Mine. He immediately asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Li Jin.

"Captain, I have investigated the situation in the Beishan mine. The cave where the people live, the mountain peak, happens to be the commanding heights." Lu Changgong also came back to report to Li Yunlong at this time.

In fact, he arrived here earlier than Li Yunlong and went to investigate the Beishan Mine as soon as possible.

The mine is equivalent to an upside-down U letter. The longest distance is about 350 meters. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The Japanese and puppet soldiers have dug trenches for defense. The position where the people are imprisoned happens to be the highest on the left. That mountain peak.

"Well, once a fight breaks out, you have to seize the commanding heights as quickly as possible!" Li Yunlong nodded and said.

The position of the commanding heights is crucial. The position occupied by the Japanese will cause great harm to their soldiers.

Therefore, occupying the commanding heights can not only ensure that the people are not harmed, but also reduce casualties.

"Don't worry, captain, just leave it to me!" Lu Changgong said seriously. Their reconnaissance company is a sharp knife that will tear through the Japanese defense line as quickly as possible.

"Yeah." Li Yunlong nodded. He didn't have the slightest doubt about this.

"Old Zhao, go and call Song Yi and his company commander over for a meeting." Li Yunlong said, before fighting, you still need to specify the plan.

"Yes." Zhao Gang nodded, turned around and went to call someone.

Li Yunlong placed the map of the Beishan Mine on the ground. Soon, Song Yi came over with the deputy battalion commander and four company commanders.

They formed a circle around the map.

"Tonight's operation, the soldiers of the fourth battalion first opened fire to attract fire, and let the Japanese in the mine bombard the mine with artillery from their dormitories." Li Yunlong said.

Let the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion first attract firepower and draw the Japs out of the dormitory, so that the artillery can cause maximum damage to the Japs. At the same time, let the Japs think that there are more than just these people coming, so they will call for help.

"Understood." Song Yi replied.

"The Japs have occupied the mountains on several sides of the mine. When fighting begins, we must let the soldiers spread out and attack. The Japs' machine guns are not easy to mess with. We don't have to worry about that. Let the soldiers of the Sharpshooter Company kill the Japs' machine gunners." !" Li Yunlong continued.

In a condescending situation, the power of the Japanese machine guns is still very terrifying. If the soldiers fight concentratedly, one shuttle can knock down one piece.

Therefore, the Japanese machine gunners have to be dealt with by the soldiers of the Sharp Gun Company. Their marksmanship is accurate. If the Japanese machine gunners are targeted, it will be difficult to get more chances to shoot.

"Just leave the Japs' machine gunners to us." Xiao Jinming said. Without them, the Japs' machine guns couldn't fire.

It's not that they can't fire, but when the Japanese machine gun is firing, they will kill the Japanese machine gunner in the shortest possible time.

"Lu Changgong is responsible for capturing the commanding heights on the left. After you capture the commanding heights, pay attention to supporting both sides and eliminate the Japanese as much as possible." Li Yunlong looked at Lu Changgong and said.

With the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance company, it is not a problem to seize the commanding heights. They can also coordinate the four battalions of soldiers attacking the mine.

"Yes!" Lu Changgong nodded.

"Liu Changshun, your people are divided into two halves, responsible for supporting the four battalions to attack the mountain." Li Yunlong looked at Liu Changshun again and said.

Although the combat effectiveness of Liu Changshun's company is not as good as that of the reconnaissance company, it is not much weaker. With them here, the cooperation in attacking the mountain will be more effective.

"The operation is scheduled for one o'clock in the morning, so that the soldiers can take a rest now and not get sleepy during the battle." Li Yunlong said.

It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's still a long time before dawn. It's just a good time for the soldiers to have a good rest, so as not to affect their combat effectiveness when fighting at night.

"Understood!" Everyone replied.

"Then let's adjourn the meeting." Li Yunlong waved his hand, and then asked the telegraph operator to telegraph the action time to Li Jin, asking Li Jin to send someone to notify the troops attacking Yuanhe Bridge.

At the same time, Li Yunlong also sent messengers to inform the troops ambushing the railway supply depot and Yuanhe Bridge of the time of the operation, so that they all knew the specific time of the operation to avoid unnecessary problems.

"It would be great if every company had a radio station. Then there would be no need to send people to deliver orders and waste time." Deputy Commander Qian said with emotion.

If that is the case, fighting will become more convenient, because the troops can be informed of actions at any time, and there will be no delay in fighter aircraft.

Many times, it is because the order cannot be conveyed to the troops at the first time, which delays the fighter's opportunity.

"Damn it, let alone every company, it would be great if every battalion had a radio station!" Li Yunlong said.

Each battalion has a radio, which can quickly command troops to fight, let alone every company.

"That's true, but I feel like Li Jin, his special operations battalion, might actually be able to have a radio station for every company in the future." Deputy Commander Qian said with a smile.

He didn't know about others, but Li Jin would definitely find a way to get more radio stations so that the troops could be better commanded.

"It's not impossible. This kid can definitely do it. However, by then, the combat capabilities of the special operations battalion will probably be even more powerful." Li Yunlong said.

Each company has a radio station, which means that you can know the movements and distances of your own troops at any time, making it more convenient to launch a battle, which is even more important for the special operations battalion.

When the number of people in the special operations battalion increases, whether it can quickly command the troops to move becomes a problem.

Because commanding two, 300 people is different from commanding one, 2000 people. Orders need to be issued in a timely manner before the troops can take action.

And with multiple radio stations, you can do this.

"I really look forward to this kid being able to fight in Taiyuan together in the future. With him around, I always feel at ease." Staff Officer Zhong also said.

Unconsciously, they also became somewhat dependent on the special operations battalion.

"Think too much, and the attack on Taiyuan is still far away." Li Yunlong said. By the time they attack Taiyuan, it is estimated that the Japanese will not be able to hold on any longer. At that time, they will fight a counterattack.

The Japanese are now at their peak. Although Li Yunlong keeps shouting that he will attack Taiyuan in the future, he also understands this truth.

.........

On the other side, Li Jin received a telegram from Li Yunlong.

"Captain and others have arrived at the Beishan Mine. The operation time is set at one o'clock in the morning." Li Jin told the contents of the telegram.

"Captain and the others have finally arrived. I can't wait any longer." Shi Yan said. He had been waiting here for three days.

"There is no way, it will take time to go around there, and the speed is already fast." Li Jin said, in order to prevent the Japanese from discovering the troop's movements, one needs to be careful. It is not like just walking along the road in broad daylight.

"I'll send someone to inform the others." Xu Qingfeng said and turned to leave.

"Old Shi, then we will each act according to the previously planned plan." Li Jin said. This time, he divided into four groups of people to block the attack. After each block, the first group of people must follow the next group of people as quickly as possible. Convergence.

They simply knew the terrain here very well and found several shortcuts. "Okay!" Shi Yan nodded and turned to leave. He was the first to stop the Japanese.

"I have already sent people to notify them. I believe they will know the time of action soon." Xu Qingfeng came back at this time and said.

"Well, everything depends on the leader's side taking action first." Li Jin nodded, and now Li Yunlong's side takes the lead.

.........

Time flew by and it soon arrived at 12:30 in the morning.

Li Yunlong had already asked the troops to take action and arrived at their respective combat points. He only waited for the time to arrive and immediately began to attack the Beishan Mine.

On a large mountain, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and Staff Officer Zhong were looking at the Beishan Mine in the distance with telescopes.

This is one kilometer away from the mine.

Looking through the telescope, there are lights on in the mine. There are several 30-meter-high watchtowers built at the entrance of the mine. There are also high towers built on the tops of several mountain peaks.

There are many buildings in the mine, which are dormitories for the Japanese and puppet troops.

At this time, there were several long and deep caves dug at the foot of the highest mountain on the left side of the mine, and nearly a thousand people gathered in each cave.

Although it is already early in the morning, there are still some people who cannot sleep because of despair.

These people were skinny and skinny, their eyes had no light, the air exuded the unpleasant smell of feces and urine, and everyone smelled bad.

They eat less and work more every day. Once they get seriously ill, they will be thrown out of the mine and left to die. Every day, one or two people will be beaten to death by the Japanese because they do not work fast enough.

In this situation, they feel very depressed and don't know if they can still see their families alive.

If it weren't for the longing for their families in their hearts, I'm afraid many people here wouldn't be able to hold on.

"Brother Ning, can we still go home?!" A young man with a somewhat pale face asked the young man next to him in a feeble voice. His face was thin and sallow, and his cheekbones were protruding because he didn't have enough to eat.

"It's possible, it's definitely possible. Don't be discouraged. Didn't the Japanese say that after we have worked for two years, they will let us go home?" Ning Ge said.

In fact, he didn't know if he could live for two years. He couldn't stand it anymore after working like this every day.

"Okay, don't think so much, go to bed quickly. We have to work tomorrow. If you feel sleepy while working, you will be whipped again." Brother Ning gave a few words and then closed his eyes to rest.

"Yeah." The young man nodded, but he couldn't sleep. He couldn't hold on any longer. He was really tired from mining every day and his health seemed to be getting worse. He wanted to go home and miss his parents.

He even thought about escaping, but those who escaped and were caught by the Japanese almost died miserably.

It would be great if someone came to save him. No matter who it was, as long as he could save him, he would set up a longevity card for him and pray for him every day.

At the foot of the mountain on the left, Lu Changgong has been lurking here with a hundred soldiers from the reconnaissance company. As soon as the gunshots are fired from the front, he will immediately capture this commanding height from this position.

.........

Time passed by, and at one o'clock in the morning, gunfire rang out outside the Beishan Mine.

The Japs in several watchtowers were killed directly, and most of the twenty-odd Japs and puppet troops behind the bunker at the entrance of the mine were killed and wounded almost instantly.

Fierce gunfire rang out throughout the nearby area.

Song Yi's fourth battalion of soldiers immediately began to attack both sides of the Beishan Mine.

At the same time, in the mine, many Japanese soldiers came out of their dormitories with guns in hand after hearing the gunshots.

The puppet army responded a little slower, but they were also awakened.

"Baga! What's going on?! Who dares to attack here?!" A Japanese major came out of the room in shock.

He couldn't understand how anyone dared to attack here. The key was how the other party lurked here and why there was no news.

"Major, there are at least a thousand people attacking. Judging from the weapons, there may be even more people coming." said a Japanese captain next to him.

"Since they dare to attack here, there can't be only such a few people.

Immediately ask the communications troops to send telegrams to the railway supply depot, Yuanhe Bridge, transfer station, and Guyuan County, and ask them to come over immediately for support! "The Japanese Major ordered immediately!

"Hi!" Captain Guizi nodded.

"Immediately let people guard the three sides of the mountain, don't let any side fall!" said the Japanese Major.

They occupy a favorable terrain and the enemy, no matter how prepared they are, will not be able to capture the mine in a short time. They may even retreat with heavy casualties while fighting!
Therefore, asking for help is not only to defend the Beishan Mine, but also to give the enemy no place to escape.

"The soldiers have already entered the position one after another." Captain Japanese said. Although he did not expect that enemies would attack here, both the soldiers of the empire and the Imperial Alliance Army had trained that once the mine was attacked, they would be the first to attack. Enter the position at once.

"Then hurry up and do it. I want to see who dares to attack here!" said the Japanese Major.

"Hi!" The Japanese captain nodded and immediately sent someone to send a telegram.

Just as the Japanese Major was going to the commanding heights on the left, artillery shells fell from the sky.

Boom boom boom! ! !
The shells fell into the Japanese camp like raindrops. Some of them landed on the houses and blew them up directly. Some of them fell on the crowds, and many of the Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces.

More than 200 artillery shells all covered the Japanese dormitory, killing dozens of Japanese on the spot. As for the puppet army, Li Yunlong did not let the artillery fire there because he did not pay attention to the puppet army at all.

Fierce gunfire still existed, and on the four- to five-meter-high walkway at the entrance of the mine, many Japanese soldiers were firing at the attacking fourth battalion.

But their machine gunners couldn't fire at all. Anyone who fired the machine gun for less than three seconds was immediately killed. They couldn't suppress the enemy with firepower. On the contrary, the enemy suppressed them greatly.

Not to mention them, even the machine gunners on both sides couldn't fire. They would die as soon as they fired, and they would die as soon as they fired. No one dared to touch the machine guns, just like they were named.

In the distance, Li Yunlong held a telescope and looked at the battle situation. Everything went smoothly. Several rounds of bombings directly killed many Japanese.

The soldiers attacking the mine were also pushing forward because the Japanese machine gunners could not fire up.

Now just wait for Lu Changgong to take the commanding heights, that's almost it!

Zhao Gang also looked at the scene in front of him, and he couldn't believe how smooth it was.

There are so many devils in this mine, they are like paper!
