Two hundred and fifty chapters candle dragon - the first stage (four)
——Luliang Mountain
Jiang Cheng yawned and looked at the blue sky. He wanted to see the exciting war scene but was forced to be the temporary commander of this radar unit. Of course, this was more because Boss Zhu and others were afraid of Jiang Cheng's appearance.
What danger.
"Um... Boss, does this mean that a plane has flown within our range?" Li Qian timidly tugged on Jiang Cheng's clothes. Jiang Cheng smacked his lips and looked over vaguely, but
I saw a large white spot appearing in the northwest on the radar screen.
Jiang Cheng quickly sat up and shouted, "Quick, zoom in, the Japanese plane is coming, measure their route and distance!"
Several white people with their own regional accents and Chinese people who had just returned from overseas took action immediately, and soon the data came out.
Jiang Cheng hurried to the command post with the information, where Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng were discussing something.
"Two bosses, the Japanese suddenly dispatched a large number of planes. As of now, more than 60 planes have flown in from the northwest." Jiang Cheng said quickly.
Boss Zhu immediately asked, "Where is the direction? Are there any divisions of troops?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "They are very concentrated. They are all flying towards Taiyuan. They should be preparing to go to Taiyuan to repair before attacking. Should we fight back immediately?"
Mr. Zhu closed his eyes and began to think. Mr. Peng lay down on the map and looked at it and said, "I don't think so. Our purpose later is to lure the enemy. If we can knock down all the enemy's planes, how can we lure the enemy?"
Moreover, we are so scattered that the Japanese planes cannot catch us! We also have radar, so as long as the Japanese planes are dispatched, we can hide our troops."
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Well, let's do it like this, but it seems that the little devils can't stand it for much longer. These planes are a sign. He ordered the troops to launch the most ferocious attack again, and allowed them to attack a few counties with weak troops to let the devils move."

——Taiyuan
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: Therefore, there are five kinds of time: there is the time of cause, there is the time of internalization, there is the time of reaction, there is the time of death, and there is the time of life. The five rooms all arise, and no one knows the way. This is called the order of gods and the treasure of human kings.
also.
Tada Shun watched the planes land slowly one after another. He couldn't help but nodded and said to Takeda Takeo next to him, "Takeda-kun, I asked General Terauchi to transfer 70% of the North China Air Force to our Shanxi. This is
The first batch, followed by the Eighth Route Army, were probably scared to tears when they saw so many planes in the sky. Your plan is very popular with General Temple."
Takeda Yixiong bowed and said, "This is all planned by His Excellency the Commander, with the great assistance of all the officers. I am just throwing ideas out there, and it is really not worth mentioning."
Tada Shun looked deeply at Takeda Takeo and said, "You are much better than your teacher, Takeda-kun, work hard. By the way, is there still no news about Yoshiko Kawashima?"
Takeda Takeo shook his head and said, "Not yet."
Tada Shun sighed and said, "I hope she is safe. Come on, let's go back and prepare for the next step. I see hundreds and thousands of losses every day. I don't want to live like this anymore."
Takeda Yixiong looked back at the densely packed Japanese aircraft and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He was a shadow and would never appear in the sun. He could not contact the organization. He only got what the organization wanted him to do from special channels, and then he went on his own.
After completing the mission, he did not get any response from any organization. Looking at so many planes, Takeda couldn't help but be afraid that the Eighth Route Army would be able to withstand it. However, the planes turned around very quickly. Even if he didn't say it, the Eighth Route Army would sooner or later experience this.
The suffering. Takeda Takeda calmed down his mood and secretly wished his comrades far away in his heart.
"Takeda-kun, come quickly." An officer waved to Takeda Takeo who was falling behind.
"Haha, I'm here. I just thought of some ways to deal with the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. I really look forward to the day when I can present the flag of the Eighth Route Army to His Majesty the Emperor." Takeda Takeo said with a smile.
——Liao County
Liao County is located in the southeast of Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, on the west side of the middle section of the main Taihang Mountains. This is the border county of Shanxi. After Liao County, it is Xingtai County in Hebei Province. Liao County is mountainous and has a population of only 100,000. It is a vast and sparsely populated area.
The mountainous area became the breeding ground for the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. At this time, there was no Japanese stronghold in Liao County except for the dwindling puppet troops in the county town.
Outside the county town, two Eighth Route Army officers wearing steel helmets and straw hats were looking at the county town with binoculars.
An officer put down his telescope and said, "The situation is already very clear. The Japanese and puppet troops are all huddled in the county. According to the order of the military headquarters, we can attack Liao County, but the location of Liao County is very clever. It is formed by a cross between four mountains.
On the plain, as long as these four mountains are captured first, the county seat can be easily taken. There are about fifty or sixty enemies on each mountain now. Commander Li, I think we can pick two of each to attack."
The person named Captain Li is Li Tianhuan. He joined the Youth League at the age of 16 and is 27 years old this year.
Li Tianhuan chuckled and said, "Then let's stick to the principle. I'll fight from the west, and you fight from the east. Brother Shicai, don't run too fast, and don't let your precious shoes run away."
Li Shicai is 32 years old and is a native of Xingguo County, a well-known "Jiangjun County" in later generations. He smiled and said, "That's hard to say. Besides, I have always carried these shoes in my arms and can't drop them!"
After saying that, Li Shicai led his men and ran to his army. His army was the Third Regiment of the Taihang Mountain Military Region. There were 1,340 people in the regiment, most of whom were developed locally in Liao County. There were four people in the regiment.
Five hundred guns, the rest of the soldiers were still armed with cold weapons such as swords and spears. However, in the previous battle, another one or two hundred usable guns were captured, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness.
Li Shicai shouted loudly, "The first and second battalions followed me, crossed the village on the back to attack Wenfeng Pagoda, and the third battalion crossed the river to pretend to attack Xiaobeigou. They arrived at the designated position at six o'clock in the afternoon. The artillery battery followed me.
Act now!”
Since all the township strongholds were wiped out, in order to stabilize the situation, all militia teams acted as temporary police, patrolling between various townships and villages. Therefore, only two regiments, Li Shicai and Li Tianhuan, participated in this battle.
The sun slowly came to the west side of the sky, and stars and a bright moon gradually appeared in the sky. Through the moonlight, Li Shicai could clearly see the stronghold on the mountain road with a telescope. He was shocked to find that they not only dug tunnels,
They also cut down wood to build a shelter. On the flat ground at the top of the mountain, a machine gun position was also set up. Higher up, you can see two plaster flags representing the Japanese army and the Blue Sky and White Sun flag of the Imperial Association Army. But there is another stripe on the Blue Sky and White Sun flag.
An ugly pig tail with the words "Anti-Red and Peaceful Founding" written on it.
When Li Shicai saw the blue sky and white sun flag, it seemed that he had returned to the Jinggangshan period. He couldn't help but touch the shoes on his chest. They were made for him by a girl from the same village. The soles had seven thick layers and were extremely strong, but he never wanted to wear them.
, even if his straw sandals were worn out during the Long March, he was still willing to walk barefoot, but in the war years, who was qualified to fall in love. I don’t know if the girl lived well in Jiangxi.
After the retreat, I heard that the returning regiments killed the people in the red zone horribly... Xingguo, are you still going back?
Li Shicai shook his head and shook away his distracting thoughts. He observed the terrain again and found that the attack route was only a path about two or three feet wide. It was not easy to attack in such terrain. Especially for safety, the Japanese army also planted torches along the way, but
Only there was no trace of fire at the stronghold. If the troops attacked, they would all become targets.
At this time, Li Shicai heard a faint explosion in the distance. He knew that fighting had begun in other directions. Li Shicai gritted his teeth and said, "The artillery battery will cover with five rounds, and the first battalion will attack!"
Five mortars were lined up in a row, and shells were placed on the ground. A group of soldiers sneaked up the mountain under the leadership of the squad platoon leader.
"Bang!" There was an explosion, and a soldier at the front suddenly flew up. Then, as if a button was pressed, the machine guns on the mountain started shooting at the troops, and a few tongues of flame suppressed the troops at once.
Arrived on the ground.
"Damn it, it's a mine! Artillery cover, go up with the machine guns and suppress the Japanese machine gun points! Pull a donkey and help me with the mines!" Li Shicai shouted loudly, and five mortars aimed at the enemy who kept spitting out tongues of flames.
The place was bombarded with "pass, pass, pass", and several machine guns also started to show off their power and began to cover.
A donkey with a pierced eardrum was blindfolded. After being whipped, it rushed up the mountain like crazy. Sure enough, another landmine exploded. For the Eighth Route Army, donkeys and horses are more valuable than people.
, seeing this, Li Shicai couldn't help but feel in a dilemma.
Although the Japanese army was on the offensive most of the time in China, it was not without landmines. These landmines often caused huge trouble to the attacking Eighth Route Army.
"Captain, where the torch is, if the Japs want to set it on fire, there must be no mines," a staff officer shouted. Li Shicai nodded repeatedly. Although he knew that this was the Japs' purpose, he could only accept it.
Mortar shells exploded all over the Japanese positions, causing several fireballs to appear in the Japanese positions hidden in the darkness.
"Charge!!" the soldier at the front shouted. He stood up and wanted to charge, but after running a few steps, he was knocked to the ground by a shuttle. The Japanese machine gun point was not affected at all. Two grenade rounds hit the attack.
Among the crowd of troops, four or five soldiers stopped moving.
"Captain, no, the enemy's machine guns are all in the bunker. Our mortars can't explode, our machine guns can't hit, and the enemy's rifles can also hit very accurately. Let's get down first!" A battalion commander came anxiously.
said.
Li Shicai looked at the top of the mountain and listened to the sound of gunfire. There were only forty or fifty people on the top of the mountain, but they relied on three machine guns to defend the entire mountain top impregnably.
Li Shicai lamented the defensive capabilities of the Japanese army and said, "The Japanese's two light machine gun bunkers are temporary wooden sand fortifications. Although they are bunkers, their shooting angles are limited. The most terrible thing is the small fortress on the platform. Not only
It's a brick structure, and there are two grenade launchers... Let me load up the cannon! Shoot a few rounds of illumination bombs!"
The first battalion commander’s eyes lit up and he shouted repeatedly, “Okay, okay! I’ll go right away!”
Only a small group of the Eighth Route Army was seen. They were wearing camouflage uniforms and straw hats. They were carrying a large and thick pipe and were approaching the top of the mountain rapidly. The army gradually approached the front line. Only then did Li Shicai let the mortar fire a
Send out flares.
The illuminating bomb ignites the illuminating agent in the air, and the gas pressure generated by the propellant throws the illuminating agent and the parachute out of the bomb. The landing can be opened under the action of air resistance, and the lighting box is hung and slowly lands at a speed of 5-8 meters per second.
Burning, incandescent light shot to the earth. The entire mountain suddenly seemed like daylight.
The team took the opportunity to quickly aim the thick pipe at the left light machine gun fortification that was still firing. It was an 82 armor-breaking bullet. The armor-breaking bullet accurately hit the light machine gun fortification. The thin shell casing was affected by the huge impact force.
The plastic explosive inside is deformed or broken, and the plastic explosive inside sticks to the surface of the wall like a plaster, neither breaking nor flying. Under the action of the delay fuse, the explosive stuck on the outside of the wall explodes, and the shock wave generated is tens of billions.
The pressure blew the wall into pieces, and the clods of earth and wood turned into deadly weapons, killing all the people in the fortification.
"Okay! Come again!" Li Shicai shouted excitedly.
Seeing that the other side was not easy to hit, the team fired a round at the bunker on the top platform. The shell passed four or five meters above the bunker. The distressed Li Shicai immediately covered his chest and shouted, "You bastard."
, I don’t know how expensive this thing is? Hey, if we don’t capture that heavy machine gun later, I will force them to run 10,000 meters.”
The gunners also knew that they had made a mistake, so they quickly picked up the artillery and ran away. Sure enough, they discovered that their Type 92 heavy machine gun was pointing at their butts and began to beep. This frightened the Eighth Route Army's machine guns and fired quickly to help the artillery crew.
Attract firepower.
The flare dimmed. Li Shicai waved his hand and fired another flare. At this time, due to the lack of machine gun suppression on one side, the troops had already rushed to a place less than 100 meters in front of the Japanese position.
Finally, the crooked handle of thirty rounds of ammunition stopped. The crooked handle was designed to use a five-round magazine. It had to be loaded one by one, which was extremely time-consuming. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were well aware of the shortcomings of this machine gun.
Ming, just now it was because two machine guns were covering each other, but now there is only one. Everyone secretly counted, from one to thirty, no one needed to say hello, everyone rushed together, the Japanese and puppet soldiers on both sides were holding rifles and wanted to shoot.
, but was suppressed by the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army. The distance of one hundred meters was only ten seconds. When the Japanese army loaded their bullets and looked outside, they saw only raindrops of grenades falling down. Waiting for the grenades to explode.
At the end of the day, there were already a bunch of Eighth Route Army troops fighting hand-to-hand with our own troops on their own positions. Maybe they were timid, maybe they didn't want to fight the Eighth Route Army at all. Seeing that the situation was not going well, those puppet soldiers seemed to throw away their guns and squat with their heads in their hands.
In the trenches, they all knew that the Eighth Route Army would not kill prisoners of war casually. The heavy machine guns on the platform did not care about the Japanese troops in the positions below and started shooting like crazy.
At this time, the artillery crew that found the opportunity fired a shell at the heavy machine gun fortress that was looking anxiously at the battlefield below. This time the shell hit the fortress. Amidst the shouts, Li Shicai shouted, "Quick, attack quickly!"
The charge horn blew loudly, and amid the sound of the horn, the plaster flag floating on the top of the mountain slowly fell. Li Shicai stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the Liao County town with lights dotted below the mountain, and said, "Haha, now, Liao County
It will be difficult for the county not to take it, so let the artillery company set up a position here, send a message to ask about the situation on the other sides, and rush down as soon as daybreak!"
The sky was slowly getting brighter. The Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was condescending. Several groups of people rushed towards Liao County from all directions. The blue sky and white sun flags filled the hills around Liao County, making the remaining Japanese troops in Liao County frightened.
Suddenly, a communications soldier came over and said, "Report, news from the military region, two planes are flying towards us."
Li Shicai said nonchalantly, "There are only two of them. You are so scared. Keep attacking. Keep the light machine gun ready. If he dares to descend, give him a shot."
When the county government's flag was replaced by the Eighth Route Army's flag, a plane arrived over Liao County. However, what the concealed Eighth Route Army did not understand was that the plane did not straf or bomb, but kept flying.
A 7,800-meter safety zone hovers.
Li Shicai touched his head and asked Li Tianhuan next to him, "What is this little devil flying up there for?"
Li Tianhuan also shook his head and said, "I don't understand. It seems like he just wants to know where we are. Ah, do you think there will be a large army of Japanese soldiers coming soon?"
Li Shicai quickly said, "It's possible. Let's send a message to the headquarters quickly."
