Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 799 Taking the opportunity to expand (the first update!)

The same thing happened in every village in the base area.

Bags of grain were brought home, pieces of fertile land became their own, the whole base area was boiling, and everyone was grateful to Xinyituan.

The recruiting office, which was deserted two days ago, suddenly became lively.

The new regiment headquarters of Sanquan Town, the political commissar and the chief of staff appeared together in the war room with smiles on their faces.

As soon as he saw Wang Ping, the political commissar in charge of recruiting excitedly reported: "Commander, the people in the base area are too enthusiastic! I don't know about other places, but the villages near Guangsanquan Town recruited 173 soldiers within two days. A recruit!"

"According to this speed, in a few days, when villages farther away will share their fields and food, more ordinary people will come to join our Eighth Route Army!"

"I estimated that if all four towns are added up, we can recruit at least fifteen to two thousand recruits!"

Wang Ping replied very satisfied: "That's right, in this case, our new regiment will be full again!"

Then he changed the subject and continued: "However, in this way, the source of troops in our base area will almost be exhausted. Continuing to recruit troops here will definitely affect local production. Therefore, I decided to take advantage of the change of generals of the Japanese and puppet troops in Linfen City. , the morale of the army is unstable, it is impossible to attack our favorable opportunity, and expand our base to several surrounding counties!"

"Look at the map! Behind the four towns we currently occupy, there are exactly four county towns, and all of these county towns happen to be under the urban management of Linfen."

"More importantly, because these counties are not major traffic routes or strategic locations, the Japanese and puppet troops did not deploy many troops there. Each county has only one devil garrison and one regiment of the puppet army, and most of the troops are Stationed in the county seat!"

"First Battalion, leave half of the troops to continue to confront the Japanese and puppet troops in the direction of Linfen City. Battalion Commander Xiong Changhe brings the rest of the troops to occupy all the villages and towns in Nanxiangfen County of Linfen except the county seat and surrounding areas!"

"Now is the time when these Japanese and puppet troops are grabbing food in the local area. I ask the troops to attack quickly to destroy the grain grabbing troops of the Japanese and puppet troops leaving the city and help the people keep their food. The food grown by us Chinese can only be given to our Chinese people. Soldiers eat it, never give it to devils!"

"In addition, when the troops are attacking, build me a garrison battalion and use it as the main force for training and use!"

"Finally, every time a town is occupied, a platoon must be left behind to form a real garrison!"

"I request that every town we occupy should form a garrison company. Large villages with more than 1000 people should form garrison platoons, and smaller villages should form guerrillas. This is the real local garrison in our fourth division. Maintain local law and order and assist the main force to protect the base!"

"The mission of the third battalion is the same, take Fushan for me... the fourth battalion take Guxian... the second battalion take Hongdong..."

"Political commissar, you must arrange enough local cadres to cooperate with the main force to form a local government!"

"Insufficient manpower, directly use the underground party members in these places. They are familiar with the local conditions, let them cooperate with the main force to form local regimes, and completely control these counties!"

Although Linfen is big, it is obviously very difficult to feed the new regiment with more and more troops.

Going out and killing Linfen is obviously the best way out for Xinyituan.

As long as the new regiment can take these four counties, the base area can be expanded by more than five times at once, and the population of the base area will also be expanded by at least four times.

At that time, food, soldiers, and everything will be available.

Political commissar Huang Yuanqiang assured him after thinking about it: "Please rest assured, the leader, there must be no problem on my side!"

"The main force occupies a town, and I will arrange cadres to control a town and let them completely become our base!"

Wang Ping immediately turned his attention to Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong.

"Chief of staff, whether it is the garrison battalion being formed by the troops or the garrison company to be formed next, the staff department needs to cooperate. All cadres above the company must report to the regiment headquarters. The cadres below the company and the garrison can let them Several battalion commanders decide for themselves!"

Zhong Chenggong affirmed: "Regimental commander, don't worry, the garrison battalion has already set up a shelf. I plan to give them a hundred recruits for each garrison battalion first, and let the garrison battalion follow the main force to move, train troops while fighting, and expand troops at the same time." If the troops take these four counties, the four garrison battalions will definitely be full!"

"In addition, the shelves of the cavalry battalion have also been set up, and soldiers who can ride horses are being selected among the recruits!"

"The eight mountain cannons captured have been sent to the mountain artillery battalion. Our mountain artillery battalion has now formed five mountain artillery companies with twenty mountain artillery, which is richer than the artillery regiments of many troops. Battalion Commander Chen Dong reported that the troops have initially formed Combat power, you can join the battle at any time!"

Dengzhuang, Xiangfen County, is less than five kilometers away from the control area of ​​the First Battalion of the New First Regiment.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from rushing into Xiangfen, the garrison of Xiangfen County, which had a small number of troops, directly selected a garrison squadron and two puppet companies. A total of nearly 400 people were stationed here, using gun towers and strongholds as fortifications, and a battalion confrontation.

If the first battalion wants to enter Xiangfen, it must first win Dengzhuang.

After the night fell over the land again, the Dengzhuang Japanese puppet army garrison remained the same as usual, with one-third of its troops patrolling and guarding the stronghold.

"Baga, there are people in that direction, shoot immediately!" A devil sergeant who was on duty on the top of the gun tower suddenly hid behind the crenel of the gun tower and ordered, pointing to a small gentle slope more than 100 meters away from the base.

"Da da da……"

A light machine gun fired quickly, followed, and the screams of sacrifice sounded more than 100 meters away.

"Fire flares!" The leader of the devil squad who heard the news ordered loudly.

"Woooooo... Boom..."

An explosion sounded above their heads, and the stronghold and its surroundings were instantly illuminated by the white light produced by the explosion of the flare, as if it were daytime.

Without a telescope, Captain Guizi can see his surroundings clearly.

"Baga, it's the Eighth Route Army. Why are there so many Eighth Route Army troops outside the stronghold!" Seeing the Eighth Route Army approaching the stronghold like a wave, Captain Wang Ping was startled and couldn't help exclaiming.

Then he reacted: "Hurry up, go to the squadron leader immediately, our stronghold has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, it is the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and they want to attack our stronghold!"

"All light and heavy machine guns, shoot immediately, block them!"

"The troops enter the position and assist the machine gunners to counterattack!"

"Boom..." As soon as the order was issued, two cannon shots were heard.

The squad leader's expression changed, he subconsciously threw himself on the ground of the gun tower, and shouted: "It's bombardment, everyone hide..."

"Rumble..."

The violent explosion sounded directly in the ear, deafening.

Not only that, but the turret where he was lying on his stomach began to tremble from the explosion.There was also a very painful scream from inside the gun tower!
"It's infantry artillery. The Eighth Route Army intends to use infantry artillery to destroy the artillery tower... immediately contact the mortar squad, counterattack, and kill the Eighth Route Army infantry artillery!" The team leader, who was sweating profusely on his forehead, immediately made a judgment.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered: "Evacuate the blockhouse immediately. The blockhouse can withstand the mortar shelling, but it can't withstand the direct fire of the infantry artillery!"

After speaking, the team leader rushed to the stairs first!
