Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen Are You A Sinner?
The commander of the puppet army recognized him. The person who came was once a company commander under his command, named Wei Heping. He felt very embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He lowered his head in shame.
The gunfire still did not stop on the battlefield. Although a Japanese squadron leader was wounded, he still led dozens of Japanese remnants and ran into the Qiligou Valley.
Sun Desheng was about to lead his men to catch up, but was stopped by Xu Dalong. He said to Wei Heping: "Brother Heping, take the infantry squad and all the recruits, catch up, kill these devils, and let our recruits learn a lot.
.”
Although Wei Heping and his brothers joined the guerrillas, they were from the puppet army after all. The original guerrillas and fellow villagers would inevitably have some prejudice against them. He had long hoped to make achievements and make everyone think highly of him.
One glance.
Seeing that Xu Dalong gave him this opportunity, Wei Heping said gratefully: "Captain, don't worry. If you can't kill these devils, I will come to see you."
After saying that, he took the puppet soldiers and more than a hundred recruits and chased the Japanese.
Seeing Wei Heping and others entering the valley, Xu Dalong was worried that something would happen to them, and ordered Monk Wei: "You work harder and take the brothers to support them. Remember, don't take action until the situation is urgent. Understand
After speaking, he shouted: "Brothers of the Second Cavalry Squadron, follow me."
Sun Desheng had a very enjoyable battle today. Not to mention how many Japs he killed with a machine gun, he killed seven or eight with a saber. He couldn't even count the exact number.
At this moment, his energy had not yet come down, and Xu Dalong felt a little unhappy because he was not allowed to chase down the escaped Japanese.
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Brother Desheng, most of the supplies brought by the Japanese and puppet troops have been captured by us. Why don't you go in and take a look?"
When Sun Desheng heard this, he suddenly became excited. The unhappiness he felt just now was instantly wiped away. He smiled and said: "The little devil and the puppet army are really our caring people, and they have come to give us gifts again, hahahaha."
After everyone arrived in the village, Wang Xiaohu and others were counting the supplies. When they saw Xu Dalong and others walking over, Wang Xiaohu came forward and said excitedly: "Brother Dalong, we have made a fortune. This time is better than last time."
There is still a lot of oil and water caught, but it has not been cleaned up yet. I will report to you later."
Sun Desheng stepped forward and picked up a brand new machine gun with a crooked handle. He looked at it and said, "This gun is so new. The butter on the gun hasn't been wiped off yet."
Everyone was counting the supplies. Wang Chengzhu rushed over. He was still more than ten meters away from Xu Dalong and others. He shouted excitedly: "Captain, hahaha."
Sun Desheng smiled when he saw this guy patronizing him. Instead of talking about business, he said, "Wang Chengzhu, are you possessed by evil spirits? You keep giggling here."
Wang Chengzhu ignored him and said to Xu Dalong: "Captain, this time we have the Type 92 infantry gun again."
It turned out that Wang Chengzhu fired hard at the Japanese artillery positions. After the attack, he felt very distressed. It was estimated that all the Japanese artillery had been scrapped.
When Sun Desheng and others went out to pursue the Japanese army, he hurried to the Japanese artillery position and found that a Type 92 infantry gun was completely damaged by the explosion. The other gun was only overturned, and one wheel was deformed by the explosion. The gun was still intact.
can be used.
Wang Chengzhu and the soldiers of the artillery squad removed a wheel from the bottom of another Type 92 infantry gun and installed it on this Type 92 infantry gun, forming a complete Type 92 infantry gun.
Ever since Wang Chengzhu left the New Regiment, he had been regretting that he could not bring out the Type 92 infantry gun. Now that it was finally available again, he couldn't help but be ecstatic and hurried over to report the good news to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong was also very happy. Although they had a 75mm mountain gun, it was too bulky. One gun weighed as much as three Type 92 infantry guns, so it was not very useful to the guerrillas.
The Type 92 infantry gun can be disassembled and carried on horseback, which is much more convenient.
Xu Dalong asked: "Where is the artillery?"
Wang Chengzhu shouted towards the outside of the yard: "Hurry up, you guys, push the cannon over and let our captain take a look."
The soldiers pushed the Type 92 infantry gun in. Xu Dalong went up to take a look and said, "Good thing. It seems to be newer than the one we had last time. How many shells were captured?"
Wang Chengzhu said happily: "The devils set up the cannons and didn't fire a single shell. They captured a total of 40 rounds, haha, hahaha."
Wang Xiaohu said excitedly: "Vice Captain Wang, let me tell you another piece of good news. Among the supplies we seized, there are still twenty boxes of shells for the Type 92 Infantry Cannon."
"Really?" Wang Chengzhu was overjoyed. He hurriedly put his hand into the pile of supplies and dug out a box of Type 92 infantry artillery shells.
He opened the box and looked inside. There were four Type 92 infantry artillery shells that had not yet been installed with fuses.
He said happily: "Okay, twenty boxes, a full 80 rounds. I'm really rich, haha, hahaha."
After defeating the Japanese and puppet troops, the villagers of Qiligou Village also returned.
Everyone was very happy to see that their house had not been burned down. They were also very happy to see that the guerrillas had won a great victory and had seized so many things, and they gathered around to watch the fun.
Xu Dalong was very happy and murmured a few words to Sun Desheng.
Sun Desheng stood on a cart and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet. I will announce good news now. The captain said that there will be a big banquet tonight for all the guerrilla members and the folks in Qiligou Village.
Participate. Enough of the wine and meat, now everyone hurry up and start organizing."
Upon hearing the news, the soldiers and fellow villagers all cheered and went to work.
When dinner was almost ready, Wei Heping, Wei Monk and others came back.
Wei Heping said excitedly: "Captain, we have killed all the Japanese who escaped."
Xu Dalong asked: "What are the casualties?"
Wei Heping said: "The little devils are indeed difficult to deal with. They injured more than ten brothers, but only two people were sacrificed."
Xu Dalong said: "Well done, well done, brothers, thank you for your hard work."
Hearing Xu Dalong's praise, Wei Heping smiled all over his face. The guerrillas and recruits behind him all stood tall with their chests high and their faces full of pride.
Sun Desheng smiled and said: "You have come at the right time. The celebration banquet has been prepared, so hurry up and sit down."
The soldiers of the infantry squad and the recruits cheered, but no one washed their hands for fear that they would be late and not get a good spot.
After the dinner, Xu Dalong returned to the team headquarters, drafted a telegram, and said to Lin Xueying: "Send this telegram to our team leader."
Niutoushan, the blocking position of the Independent Regiment.
The independent regiment was responsible for the cover of the headquarters organs and logistics, and launched a desperate struggle with the main force of the Japanese independent mixed fourth brigade. By the end of the day, it had repelled five enemy attacks.
The Japanese army dropped many corpses on the hillside, and the independent regiment also suffered heavy casualties. More than 420 officers and soldiers were killed or injured, including Li Ligong, commander of the third battalion.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunset gradually turned gray, which was very depressing, and everyone's mood was inevitably a little low.
In the temporary command post, Zhang Dabiao said: "Commander, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce. It is not possible to continue fighting like this."
Li Yunlong glared and said: "The brigade commander did not give an order to retreat. We will die on the battlefield."
Zhao Gang also felt sorry for the heavy casualties suffered by the soldiers of the independent regiment. He said: "Old Li, the opinion of the chief of staff is not unreasonable. Should we change our tactics, for example, conduct mobile defense?"
Li Yunlong has much more battlefield experience than them. He said: "What you say is not unreasonable, but most of our regiment are recruits. Although they have gone through several months of training, they have no battlefield experience and can still defend the position."
Hold on, once this movement starts, the army may collapse. Let's just stick to the hilltop position. It is normal for people to die. Don't worry, after this battle is won, the living people will be the backbone in the future.
"
At this moment, the operator received a telegram, translated it urgently, held up the telegram and shouted loudly: "Regiment leader, political commissar, Captain Xu and the others have won another great victory."
Zhao Gang received the telegram and read loudly: "Regiment Commander, Political Commissar, Chief of Staff: At noon today, the Japanese army dispatched an infantry garrison brigade and a puppet army regiment from Guancheng County to launch an attack on our base area. After three and a half hours,
In a fierce battle, our army annihilated a Japanese garrison brigade of 823 people and a puppet army regiment of 1,298 people, and captured all their weapons and equipment.
Our army suffered 87 casualties during the battle, including 29 who died.
Some of the weapons, ammunition and supplies seized will be sent to the regiment headquarters early tomorrow morning.
Xu Dalong, captain of the Mawushan guerrillas, Sun Desheng, deputy captain, and Wang Chengzhu are here today."
"Haha, hahaha."
Zhao Gang couldn't help laughing while reading.
Li Yunlong stepped forward and grabbed the telegram. Only then did he remember that he could not read all the words on it. He slapped the telegram on the table and said loudly: "Xu Dalong and the others are really good, little guerrillas.
It was such a relief to annihilate a Japanese brigade and a puppet army regiment in just a few hours."
Zhang Dabiao said excitedly: "Commander, this is simply a miracle of war."
Zhao Gang said: "We must quickly convey this good news to every soldier in the regiment. After the soldiers hear this, their morale will definitely be boosted."
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and make arrangements."
Zhao Gang called Zhang Feng, the police platoon leader, and told him the contents of the telegram, asking him to convey the news to every company and every soldier.
Zhang Feng said loudly and excitedly: "Yes." He arranged for correspondents to go to each battalion and company to deliver the good news.
Soon after, at the positions of each battalion and company, the battalion and company commander stood on the position and shouted loudly, announcing to the soldiers the news that the Mawushan guerrillas had won a great victory.
The soldiers suddenly became energetic and their morale increased.
There were thunderous cheers on the Eighth Route Army's position, and the Japanese at the foot of the mountain heard it and wondered what was happening on the mountain.
The Japanese commander at the forward position was a little suspicious. He was wondering if reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army on the mountain had arrived.
He was also a little unsure, so he decided to cancel the order to attack the Eighth Route Army again at dusk, and reported the situation to the brigade commander.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others also reported the results achieved by the Mawushan guerrillas to the brigade commander.
