Chapter 174, Should I fight

"Brigade Commander, what's going on at the top of the Red Cliff?"

Yuan Lang, who was driving the truck, asked the brigade commander who was sitting in the co-pilot.

Before, he mainly focused on the situation in Yushe County, and didn't know much about the overall situation.

Red Cliff Top, I have never heard of it.

"The Red Cliff Top area..." The brigade commander paused, as if he was thinking about how to explain it better.

"You should know about Pingxingguan battles, right?" he asked.

The battle of Pingxingguan was like thunder.A great victory for the Eighth Route Army and a disastrous defeat for the Japanese Army.

In that battle, more than 1000 people from the enemy's elite Fifth Division were wiped out, more than vehicles were destroyed, and a large amount of military supplies were seized.

It was the first victory in an annihilation war since the National War of Resistance. It was of great political significance and broke the myth of "the imperial army is invincible".

It is also of great significance in the military, and it is a battle recorded in history.

Yuan Lang discussed with Li Yunlong and Ding Wei many times, and even analyzed the battle carefully.

If you want to make an introduction, then he can speak clearly and clearly.

Knowing that Yuan Lang knew it well, the brigade commander explained: "The topography of the Hongyading area is very similar to that of the Battle of Pingxingguan.

There's a trench there, perfect for an ambush.You are no stranger to the new regiment and the independent regiment arranged there.

Both Ding Wei and Kong Jie are experienced commanders.Setting up a pocket ambush couldn't be easier. "

Yuan Lang could already imagine it in his mind, and he said with a smile: "Then I understand, with their two regiments, if the enemy enters the ambush circle, they will suffer."

It was the th Regiment and the th Regiment that had just been adapted from the Red Army that started the Battle of Pingxingguan.

They are all 20 elites who survived the -mile long march from people.

Everyone's combat literacy is naturally good, and they are also very fierce when fighting.

Although there are many new recruits in the new regiment and independent regiment that went into battle this time, they have all gone through several months of training.
Coupled with the presence of veterans, there is nothing to say about combat capabilities.

Moreover, the two regiments at that time were far inferior to the Xinyi regiment and the independent regiment in terms of weaponry.

Especially in terms of light and heavy machine guns and artillery capabilities, it was twice as strong as the main regiment at that time.

This was affirmed by the brigade commander himself.

Although Ding Wei and Kong Jie were inferior to the two generals who started the Battle of Pingxingguan in terms of commanding operations.

However, there are mature examples in front of him, and Xiao Gui Cao Sui is still very easy to do.

After some comparisons, Yuan Lang could easily come to the result: this battle has at least an % probability of winning.

The remaining % ​​is mainly due to the enemy.

When the war started that year, the Japanese army was so powerful that they clamored to destroy China in three months.

At that time, they didn't take any enemies seriously, and plunged into the ambush circle, and were beaten with black noses, swollen faces, and bloody heads.

As long as the Japanese army, which has been fighting for three or four years, is not an idiot, it is time to learn some lessons.

If he still plunged headlong into the ambush circle, then Yuan Lang wouldn't even know what to say.

He also thought of the anti-aircraft guns towed behind the truck. In that kind of terrain, it was obviously impossible to pull them directly into the ditch.

If it is pulled to the ambush positions on both sides, then we can only see if the devil's plane will come...it should come.

The Japanese army would never dare to send planes to support just because three planes were shot down.

Seemingly seeing what was on his mind, the brigade commander said, "Don't worry, there must be a chance for you to show off.

It seems that we are approaching Liao County, and the st column should be ready.When the cannons and anti-aircraft guns are in place, start the siege.

At that time, you have to show your hand! "

If you want to say who is the most accurate with the howitzer, it must be Yuan Lang.

There should be less than Japanese troops in Liao County, and one day is not enough, but there are two or three days, and there are also offensive weapons such as howitzers and flamethrowers.

It's enough.

"Stop, stop!"

A cavalry communicator turned back ahead and stopped the advancing convoy.

The correspondent was sent by Ding Wei to report on the deployment of troops and the situation of the enemy.

After the brigade commander heard about it, he first asked the correspondent when it was time to leave, and then glanced at his watch.

When he got the news, there should be a fight there.

The speed at which the Japanese army advanced was a bit beyond his expectation.If Ding Wei and Kong Jie hadn't made arrangements earlier, the cucumber dishes would have been cold when he arrived.

Of course, there is no radio station at the regiment level, causing communication delays.It is also one of the important reasons for his late arrival.

The brigade commander thought for a while, and said to Yuan Lang: "I'll go in the front car first, and you go slowly with the convoy."

The number of trucks seized was not large, and in addition to towing the artillery, they had to be loaded with ammunition, so the speed could not be increased.

There is only one truck, only loaded with ammunition supplies, no need to tow the artillery, and it can be faster.

The brigade commander was a little anxious. When the battle started in the Hongyading area, the Japanese army huddled in Liao County had to be restrained, and they couldn't be let out to be demons.

After seeing off the brigade commander, Yuan Lang, who drove the truck back on the road, remembered the information about the first column in his mind.

The full name of the Desperate Column is the first column of the Shanxi Youth Anti-Enemy Desperate Squad, which is the product of the national war of resistance after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.

The story is rather long, but to be brief, Yan Laoxi found that the old army could not stand up to the Japanese.

So an army established in cooperation with the Eighth Route Army.

The nature of the Death Squad and the Death Squad is the same. If you go to the battlefield, you are not prepared to survive.

But the Death Squad cannot be simply understood as the Death Squad. Sacrifice to save the country is the anti-Japanese slogan put forward by Yan Laoxi, which has a special political background.

Most of the members of the Shanxi Anti-Enemy Death Squad are patriotic students. Some people call it "a troop with a book in one hand and a gun in the other". It is the product of the third KMT-CPC cooperation.

As we all know, the captain of a certain transportation brigade is very reactionary.

Even if the Japanese defeated his entire country, he never forgot "Anne".

At the end of 39, with his support, Yan Laoxi launched the "December Incident",
On the grounds that the second decisive column did not obey the command, they attempted to eliminate the new army led by the Eighth Route Army.

But after the incident, the Death Squad openly joined forces with the Eighth Route Army and became even stronger.

In the battle of Cangyun Ridge, those who covered the retreat of the headquarters had a column of death.

The five regiments under the command of the first column.

In this battle, it was the 25th and 38th regiments of the first column that attacked Liao County.

Whether it is the number of personnel or weapons and equipment, there is a big gap between these two regiments and the main regiment.

If you talk about it carefully, it is similar to the new one when it was handed over to Ding Wei.

It is not an easy task to attack the well-fortified Liao County with five times the strength of the two regiments.

The brigade commander was anxious to go to preside over it himself, and he also had concerns about that.

The enemies who have been surrounded in Liao County are already meat in a bowl.With the howitzer he brought, it would not be a problem to blast the city wall.

Destroying the enemy is only a matter of time.

Right now, in fact, the Japanese army coming to aid from Hongyading is more important.

There are more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops, if they can successfully meet up with the enemy in Liao County.

Then the Eighth Route Army can retreat directly.

What happened to Ding Wei and Kong Jie?
While Yuan Lang was thinking about it, Ding Wei looked at the Japanese and puppet troops advancing in the ditch with a frown.

Three hundred puppet troops opened the way ahead, followed by two hundred Japanese troops.

First passed the position of the second battalion, then the third battalion and the fourth battalion, and it seemed that they were about to pass the position of the first battalion and walked out of the ambush circle.

There is still no movement from Kong Jie, Ding Wei is very anxious at the moment!

Is the news wrong, and this Japanese army is the main force that arrived first?
Did you just watch them pass by?

Why don't you just start fighting and beat him up, you little devil?
If you fight now, you can get some meat to eat. If the Japanese and puppet troops are all let go, there will really be nothing left.

At this time, in Ding Wei's mind, heaven and man were at war, and the finger on the trigger of the flare gun kept loosening and tightening.

"Regimental Commander, you can't let the little devil pass!" The commander of the first battalion next to him saw that the puppet army in the front was about to walk out of the ambush position, and persuaded him anxiously.

Ding Wei sighed uncontrollably, loosened the finger on the trigger, and said in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, pass down the order, and no one is allowed to move without an order."

At this moment, he chose to believe in his old comrade-in-arms.

Besides, compared with the bigger piece of fat in intelligence, the -day puppet army is nothing.

"Ugh!"

The first battalion commander sighed unwillingly, and turned to appease the soldiers who seemed to be on the string.

"Be quiet, don't be impulsive."

"Wait for the commander's order, no one is allowed to move without an order."

The familiar voice rang in the ears, and the tense nerves of the soldiers relaxed a little.

But a new question popped up in my mind: "Should we just let those devils go?"
