Chapter 124 Who is not crazy when a gun is pointed at the back?

The Japanese army must retake Lion's Brain Mountain, and Brigadier Chen of the th Brigade has already judged this.

After the battle in the morning, Brigadier Chen took a quick bite, and took a few combat staff officers to check the terrain on the right side of Lion's Brain Mountain.

"Look, the terrain here is relatively flat and there are not many obstacles, which is suitable for the Japanese army to exert its firepower advantage.

On the other side, along the rest of the mountain, there are more steep slopes and large rocks.It is suitable for our army to play.

Especially behind that stone, it is condescending and has an excellent shooting range. Putting a light machine gun on it can give the enemy a great suppression. "

The older staff officer is teaching several younger staff officers how to fight.They will be transferred to other positions in the future and will definitely be useful.

It is also the tradition of the Eighth Route Army to learn while fighting.

Brigadier Chen checked the terrain and added a few words from time to time. Judging by their relaxed appearance, they looked like they were here for an outing.

Director Lu from the Political Department rushed over excitedly and said good news from a long distance away.

Brigadier Chen asked with a smile: "Old Lu, what are you so happy about?"

Director Lu ran a little anxiously, panting heavily, but he still didn't wait for a moment, excitedly reporting the good news:
"Of course it's a great thing. The th Brigade attacked Xinjing Coal Mine, and by early morning, they had achieved complete victory.

Victories have been won everywhere else, and the railroads are now being wrecked, and the spoils transported. "

soon!
Brigadier Chen was a little surprised. There are many enemy bunkers in Xinjing Coal Mine, and the task of attacking them is very heavy.

It can be conquered in one night, and the means of attacking fortifications are indeed excellent.

He couldn't help being a little curious, "This is a good thing, which army attacked Xinjing Coal Mine?"

Director Lu smiled and said, "You forgot, it's Li Yunlong's new second regiment."

As soon as he was reminded, Brigadier Chen also remembered.

It was Li Yunlong who defeated the Sakata Alliance head-on and killed a Japanese chief.

It is not an easy task to achieve either of the two achievements.

Li Yunlong has achieved both, let alone the Eighth Route Army, that is, the entire Shanxi, all the troops of the enemy and us all remember such a thing, such a person.

Besides, both the th Brigade and the th Brigade belonged to the th Division, and the brother troops were next to each other, so they naturally understood clearly.

Brigadier Chen also heard more than once about Li Yunlong stabbing Lou Zi.The teacher was angry with him several times.

"This thorn, don't mention it, there are really two brushes in war." Brigadier Chen said with emotion.

At this moment, an idea flashed through his mind, but it was quickly extinguished.

After all, there are still 800 Japanese and puppet troops in the city. Relying on the solid city walls and fortifications, it is definitely a tough bone.

If you attack hard, the casualties will be too great.

Director Lu also brought news of the New First Regiment and the Sixteenth Regiment, "The New First Regiment has two Type infantry artillery, and lent one to the Sixteenth Regiment.

There are weapons for attacking the fortifications, and the attack on the gun towers, strongholds and stations is very smooth, and they have all been taken down now.

People are being organized to destroy railway bridges and other buildings and demolish railways.This time, there will be no shortage of steel in the arsenal in the base area. "

The first-level troops of the Eighth Route Army have no radio stations, and the fastest communication is the cavalry correspondent.

The situation in the morning was not collected at the brigade headquarters until noon.

The Xinyi regiment and the th regiment took down the gun towers along the line, which was expected by Brigadier Chen.

But things went so smoothly, and the enemy was beaten helplessly, which is still a gratifying thing.

Brigadier Chen laughed heartily and said hello twice: "Okay, time is life.

Tell them to let them destroy the enemy's equipment and railways as soon as possible, and try their best to destroy them thoroughly.

Even if the little devil wants to fix it in the future, it will cost them a lot. "

The fundamental purpose of the big raid is to break the enemy's cage and destroy the enemy's transportation network.

The Eighth Route Army did not have the conditions to ride in a four-wheeled vehicle, so they could only walk on their feet, so the speed would naturally not be fast.

Then find a way to make the enemy, who can't sit on four wheels, have to race against us with his feet.

The enemy has a lot of equipment and weapons, and is highly dependent on logistics.

Letting the enemy use oxen and donkeys to carry shells and cannons is naturally a great drag.If the speed cannot reach the feet of the Eighth Route Army, the effect will not be as great as imagined.

Director Lu replied with a smile: "Yes, I will tell them.

Our slogan is: not a single track, not a single sleeper, not a single station,
Not a bunker, not a bridge, not a single electric pole.Give the little devil a clean slate. "

"Hey, that's right."

Brigadier Chen laughed.

What the Eighth Route Army is best at is to turn slogans into reality, which will definitely cause big troubles for little devils.

At this moment, soldiers on guard in the distance spotted the enemy.

Brigadier Chen and the others also saw the shadow of the enemy advancing here.

"The little devil is going to attack from our right side!" The senior staff officer immediately judged the enemy's plot and quickly reminded him.

Needless to say, Brigadier Chen, who has experienced many battles, immediately reacted.

He turned his head and made deployments to several combat staff officers: "Order the first battalion, and the third battalion will immediately go into battle.

The third battalion counterattacked from the front, and the two companies of the first battalion attacked from the left and right flanks, putting the enemy in front of them under attack from three sides. "

The troops resting nearby arrived at the predetermined position after a while and started a firefight with the enemy.

However, this time the enemy is not ordinary, it is the main force in Yangquan City - Artillery Squadron.

Under the command of the squadron leader Ichiro Takahashi, the artillery squadron attacked the position of the th regiment in skirmish formation.

Artillery generally provides fire support in the rear, and the usual casualty rate is not high.

Therefore, more than half of the soldiers in the artillery squadron are veterans who enlisted three or seven years ago.

Their combat quality is good, and their psychological quality is even better.

In addition, the artillery squadron has no shortage of artillery, and the rear artillery support is very sufficient.

The defending Eighth Route Army was constantly being bombed, and the battle was very hard.

In the rear headquarters.

Director Lu was a little worried about the first battalion, and was very worried: "Old Chen, the defensive position of the first battalion is too flat, which is very conducive to the enemy's firepower. I have to go and see."

The enemy only had one squadron of devils, and Brigadier Chen would not think that two infantry battalions could not defend against danger.

He moved his gaze from the map to Director Lu, "Old Lu, if you are worried, go and have a look. Bring the guards and be careful."

To be the director of the political department, he would naturally not be the kind of person who would hold a machete and fight the enemy with bayonets.

Director Lu set off with the guards.

For a defensive battle without much suspense, the presence of the head of the th regiment is enough.

Brigadier Chen is still staring at the map, Xinjing Coal Mine, Shouyang, Taiyuan, place names one by one, group after group of troop figures of both the enemy and us.

He didn't know exactly how many devils there were in Yangquan City.

But after the preliminary investigation and the information from some channels, he could guess a rough idea.

No more than 1000 people at most.

That team was disabled in the morning, more than half of the devils were killed or injured, and there should be less than 30 people still fighting.

More than 200 devils have been dispatched now.

Brigadier Chen dropped his pen and sighed, "The enemy is still very cautious!"

He also knew that breaking Yangquan City and capturing Major General Yamasho Taro of the th Brigade alive was a bit whimsical.

But if you don't imagine it, how will you know if it can be done?

A general who can only follow the rules, not a good general.

Bold vision, rigorous analysis.

Judging from the current situation, Yangquan is still difficult to capture.Even if it succeeds, the casualties are a terrifying number, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It would be nice if the number of enemies was smaller and there was an army capable of attacking the fortifications.

Brigadier Chen couldn't help sighing.

When Director Lu arrived at the command post of the No. Battalion with his guards, the No. Battalion had just repelled an enemy attack, and Battalion Commander He Yurong was deploying forces.

"Director Lu, let me report the battle situation to you!" He Yurong said.

Director Lu was about to agree, when the rumbling cannons sounded again, and another attack by the devils was about to begin.

The two sides were fighting fiercely. Director Lu took a telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield.

After a while, the gunfire stopped, and the devils began to climb up.

However, at this time, it was raining, and the raindrops fell on the neck, which was cool.

Director Lu looked up at the sky and whispered, "It's raining."

The rain is fair to both parties, but it just doesn't come at the right time.

When it rained, the fortifications that were not deep in the first place were about to be filled with rainwater.

Many soldiers were lying in the muddy water with their guns in hand, watching the devils who were climbing up.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer.

100 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters,

They opened fire just as the rain was about to overflow them.

Rifles, cluster grenades, and what is particularly exciting is the crisp, continuous, rattling sound of light and heavy machine guns.

Together they constitute a symphony, played on the lion's brain mountain position.

The Eighth Route Army repelled a group, and another group rushed in.

Director Lu, who was observing the enemy's situation, felt that it was evil. Why did the little devil look crazy today, attacking non-stop.

He didn't notice that behind the devil's attacking troops, the heavy machine guns of the supervising team were aiming.

Retreating will be punished, deserters will be shot, can the little devil not attack like crazy!

The continuous Japanese attack caused heavy casualties to the First Battalion.

In this case, Director Lu cannot remain indifferent.There are not many troops in the th regiment who have not participated in the battle.

He called the instructor of the second battalion, Sun Gaoze, over.

He personally recruited Sun Gaoze into the Eighth Route Army. He has a tough style and is brave in battle. He often rushed to the front line to fight the devils with bayonets.

As a result, more than a dozen scars were left on his body, and he was sure to be scary when he took off his clothes.

Director Lu said to him: "You take a company and attack from the side to relieve some of the pressure on the first battalion. Don't be greedy for credit, just beat the enemy back."

"No problem, Director, you can rest assured that I will complete the task." Sun Gaoze readily agreed.

I don't know if there is any, but I heard Director Lu's words in my heart.
