"Look, these warehouses are full. Our harvest this time is huge. The little devils have hoarded more than 500,000 rounds of bullets and artillery shells here. I think they are all prepared to attack us. It's good now. They are all
It becomes ours. There are also a lot of clothes, cans, and food. Look, they are all ours." Li Long kept laughing beside him. Chen Geng nodded and asked as he walked, "I heard that for this warehouse, you
Had a fight with Wang Jinshan?"
Li Long's right eye was blue at this time. He rolled his eyes and immediately stamped his feet and said, "No! Absolutely not! Lao Wang and I were in the same company in Jinggangshan. We have an iron-clad friendship, how can we be blushing?
Brigadier, if you don't believe it, just ask him who won the fight between us."
Chen Geng chuckled lightly and said, "I also heard that when you and Zhang Guangbei fought to clear Xiling, you lost a minute and Zhang Guangbei was so angry that he almost burst into tears."
Li Long said with a helpless look, "You can't say this. It's entirely because my watch is one minute faster. Brigadier, why don't you change my watch? This watch is causing trouble. I'll just look at your watch."
good."
Chen Geng snorted coldly, "Are you still reasonable? You really can cause as much trouble to me as you can to achieve great merit. I don't think there is anyone in the whole army who can compare to this ability of balancing merit and fault."
Let me tell you, Zhang Guangbei is the brigade commander and you are the regiment commander. If you continue to be so indiscriminate, I will let you go to the quilt factory and become the director!"
Li Long chuckled and stopped talking. At this time, Wang Jinshan ran over and glared at Li Long. He only saw that Wang Jinshan's left eye was also blue. He ignored Li Long and said to Chen Geng, "Brigade Commander, here is the information."
, the Japanese army is less than fifty miles away from us. The fastest is tonight or the slowest is tomorrow. What should we do?"
Chen Geng immediately asked, "How many Japanese are here?"
"I don't know, it's so densely packed, at least tens of thousands of people." Wang Jinshan said with gestures.
Chen Geng nodded and said to Chen Lidao next to him, "This is consistent with the intelligence we had before. Eight Japanese brigades are rushing towards us. Our attack on Yixian this time has caused considerable losses. Although it was a sneak attack.
We have the advantage of firepower, but after all, we are attacking a fortress, and the loss of personnel alone is as little as two thousand. I think it is not appropriate for us to fight again, and we should retreat to the mountains and carry out the second step of the division commander."
Chen Zaidao nodded and said, "I think it's okay. We have taken the initiative in the war. Next, the Japanese will go wherever we let the Japanese go!"
When King Higashikata Minuhiko came to Yixian County, Yixian County was already deserted. Looking at the rows of simple graves of the Japanese soldiers by the river, King Higashikata Minuhiko couldn't help but closed his eyes, not daring to go any further.
look.
"Don't let the soldiers come here. In addition, dig out all the corpses of those who died in the battle, burn them into ashes, send them back to Japan, and let them go home." King Higashikata Miyazaki sighed and walked down the hillside.
.
Yamashita Fengwen waved to the people next to him, indicating that he should hurry up and follow behind King Dongjiu'er Palace Minuhiko and said, "The Eighth Route Army stopped its offensive soon after capturing Yixian County, and just emptied all the inventory in Yixian County.
After retreating to the mountains, I am afraid they hope that we will also enter the mountains and fight a decisive battle at a place that is beneficial to them."
King Dong Jiure Gong Minyan looked at the mountains towering into the sky in the distance and asked, "The Taihang Mountains must be leveled. If the Taihang Mountains are not leveled, there will never be peace in North China. The Eighth Route Army retreated because they saw the strength of our troops and were afraid."
I am not afraid that he is afraid, but I am afraid that he is not afraid, so I order the troops to continue our plan and start the sweep!! All the mountain people in Taihang Mountain are suspected of being red, and we must kill them all!"
Yamashita Fengwen stood at attention and said, "Hi!"
The corners of the eyes of King Higashikata Minuhiko twitched and he said, "In addition, the North China Plain also needs to be cleaned..."
——Chow Chow Village
This is a small village in the Hebei Plain. A group of people suddenly disturbed the peace here.
All the villagers were ordered to gather on the grain drying field. Several crooked poles were set up. A group of puppet soldiers were on the left and a group of Japanese soldiers were on the right. Rifles were pointed at the villagers. Four or five blood-soaked villagers were hung on the trees.
.
"Have you seen it? These are guerrillas. This is what happens when you resist the imperial army and Chairman Wang. The Red Party is the lackey of the Soviet Union and wants to annex China to the Soviet Union. Look, we
Chairman Wang is also flying the blue sky and white sun flag, but the Red Party, they want the sickle and ax flag. They are giving you rent and interest reductions just to win people's hearts. You must be clear-headed and understand right and wrong!" An officer wearing a puppet army uniform
Shouting loudly, the villagers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
After finishing speaking, he walked off the stage, pointed at a person and said, "Tell me, where are the guerrillas?"
The man took a step back in fear, but kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
There was a gunshot, and the man covered his chest and fell to the ground. The puppet army officer smiled and looked back at the satisfied Japanese captain, his excited face burst into laughter.
"Where are the guerrillas?" the puppet soldier continued to ask. The second person was an old lady. The old lady asked disdainfully, "Where are you from?"
The puppet army officer said impatiently, "You don't care who I am, I'm asking you, where are the guerrillas?"
The old lady stopped talking and closed her eyes as if waiting to die.
"It's red! Everything is red! Kill!" The Japanese officer yelled angrily, which frightened the puppet army officer and quickly stepped forward and said, "Taijun, these are four to five hundred people... Is this right?
.. Let’s just kill some of them and scare them, otherwise where will we go to collect rent and taxes in the future?”
The Japanese officer kicked the puppet officer to the ground and said, "Are you also from the Red Party?"
The puppet officer was so frightened that he quickly stood up and said, "Of course not, Taijun, I... shoot! Shoot me!!"
"Da da da" and "bang bang" followed the sound of gunfire. The villagers fell down one by one. The few who tried to escape were also caught and killed. Looking at this scene, the few Japanese and puppet soldiers who fired closed their eyes.
.Then the Japanese army searched everywhere and moved away all the property they could get. The God of Fire soon descended on the village, and the fire could be seen from more than ten miles away.
"Captain, then... isn't that the direction of Chow Chow Village?" In the mountain forest, a guerrilla team was lurking here, and a team member looked at the black smoke and said anxiously.
"Little Shitou, where are you going?" When he saw a team member about to run down the mountain, the captain shouted quickly.
"Shitou's home is in Chow Chow Village. I'm going to chase him back." With that said, another team member ran to chase him.
"Damn you little devil! Captain, we want revenge!" the other team members shouted one after another.
The captain gritted his teeth, patted the tree and said, "The little devils gathered a squadron and a regiment of puppet troops to raid our village. We are no match at all and cannot sacrifice in vain. Let's continue to move. Don't worry. One day,
We will call back."
——Taihang Mountain Headquarters
"After the Japanese army fell in Yixian County, they quickly counterattacked. Our army retreated back to the mountains in time. Now more than 80 brigades of the Japanese army are rolling back and forth in our Taihang Mountains in the form of millstones, hoping to find the main force of our army. And in
In the plain area, the Japanese army gathered more than 80,000 Japanese and puppet troops to sweep back and forth. You also know the situation in Hebei. After the White Party troops fled south, local bandits and some old military officers recruited troops to dominate each side; the wealthy gentry and landlords also established their own
Reactionaries, Huimen and militia groups. After we arrived, we vigorously attacked these teams that did not fight the Japanese, but only attacked the common people. These people also hated our Eighth Route Army to the bone, and they were very effective in fighting. The entire anti-Japanese force in Hebei
The situation has reached a low ebb. Now, wherever our guerrillas go, the Japs are killing them, burning villages and massacring towns. Many of our comrades cannot bear it anymore and fight the Japs desperately. The losses are huge.
." Deng Xianxian introduced in a somewhat low tone.
Liu Bocheng took off his glasses. He had a disease in one eye and could not see for long. He wiped his glasses and said, "The Japanese army is forcing us out... We must fight back! Now the Japanese army has entered the Taihang Mountains."
, will naturally be divided by our mountains and forests. Our next step is to take advantage of our familiar terrain to attack these Japanese troops. As for the plain areas, we should focus on guerrilla warfare for the time being, retain our effective forces, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
I warn the guerrillas not to be impulsive, but to counterattack in a planned way, and not to be fooled by the little devils."
"Report, Commander Zhao wants to see you." A soldier came in and said.
"Mr. Zhao? Which Mr. Zhao?" Liu Bocheng asked.
"It must be Zhao Dengyu who is entrenched on the wild hillside. It seems that the Japanese army is coming so fiercely this time that he can't sit still. Let's go and greet him. This is a famous anti-Japanese general." Deng Xianxian said excitedly.
When I arrived at the gate of the headquarters, I saw Zhao Dengyu still wearing the cavalry uniform of the 29th Army. The beard on his face had changed a lot from the past.
"Mr. Zhao, I have long admired your name, but we have visited you three times and you are not allowed in." Deng Xianxian said with a smile and raised his hand.
Zhao Dengyu was a little embarrassed, held Deng Xianxian's hand, shook hands with Liu Bocheng and said, "Am I here? Commander Liu, this time the Japanese army is coming fiercely. Commander Tong and I have no choice, so we came to seek help."
Liu Bocheng smiled and said, "What do you mean by help? We are all anti-Japanese troops. This time the Japanese army came, we were also under great pressure. With you, we are much more relaxed. Let's go back and discuss how to deal with us who came from afar."
friend."
After entering the headquarters, the three chatted for a while. Zhao Dengyu asked, "This time the Japanese army is coming fiercely. All major forces in the Taihang Mountains are panicked. I wonder what the Eighth Route Army's plans are?"
Liu Bocheng thought for a while and said, "The enemy is like a net, trying to trap us. We just want to cut through this big net. Therefore, we are ready to concentrate our forces and swallow up the enemy all the way."
Zhao Dengyu's eyes lit up and he asked, "I know that your Eighth Route Army has strong troops. If you agree, Commander Tong and I are also willing to cooperate in this battle."
Liu Bocheng and Deng Xianxian looked at each other and nodded. Liu Bocheng said, "We really need your help on this matter. This is our plan."
——Qingjiazhai
Zhenbai Siwen looked at the ruins of Qingjiazhai, shook his head and said, "Murder and arson, this is really clean. Was this done by your old classmate?"
Zhou Weiguo nodded, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there is a high possibility. I think this army is the one that destroyed Lijiazhuang. Looking at the route, this army went up the mountain from Shiting, and then
They wanted to Zhuma River, but we had soldiers guarding all Dadukou, so they returned to Qingjiazhai. This is an old village that has been there since the late Qing Dynasty. The mountains and rivers of the Taihang Mountains are basically the same as Qingjiazhai.
We all know it, so...he came to get the map, which is the main reason why they disappeared later."
Mashiro hummed politely, narrowed his eyes slightly, pulled out a cartridge case from the ground, looked at it in his hand and said, "This is a 38-cap bullet. It is indeed all Japanese weapons. We also have such troops in the Eighth Route Army."
Some, coupled with the Nanjing dialect you spoke of, Takeshita, maybe there is more than one Takeshita in this army who can speak Chinese, and it would be difficult to catch him from the surface."
Zhou Weiguo looked at Zhenbai Siwen and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhenbai Siwen touched his chin and said, "Fishing requires bait. For this unit, I think there are two most effective baits. One is the headquarters of our 129th Division, which is their destination. I
I thought that no matter which route they took, they were all heading to the wooden Buddha platform, and they could only take small paths, so they would definitely not be able to walk fast, and we still had time to get in front of them.
The second is his human weakness. Doesn’t he like art, and he is already in a state of madness? In this case, we will set up a trap. Even if we can’t catch him, we can still get his traces.”
Zhou Weiguo touched his chin, nodded and said, "Okay! I know you have a lot of clever ideas, so I'll just listen to you."
Mashiro Siwen said reluctantly, "What do you mean by a clever idea? It's just wisdom."
Zhou Weiguo raised his eyes lightly and said, "Okay, wise Zhenbai, what's behind your hand? Hand it over. Do you still remember the order to hand over all seizures?"
Zhenbai stretched out his hand politely, but in his hand was a small golden unicorn. He threw it into the hands of the guard next to him and said, "I'm just going to take a look. No, let's see how nervous you are. Let's go. Let's go."
Let’s discuss how to deal with your old classmates while we go.”
——Yesanpo
"In front of you is Tong Linge's 132nd Army. Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, this 132nd Army is the original 132nd Division. After Song Zheyuan was defeated and retreated to Hebei, Tong Linge was unwilling to withdraw from Hebei, so he stayed here and we never paid much attention to him.
"A Japanese military staff officer said to a middle-aged Japanese general.
That Japanese general was Kanji Tsuneoka, who was 52 years old at the time and was the commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade. He looked at the lush mountain forest and said, "Very good, how many troops do they have?"
The staff officer said, "There are three to four thousand people in total. It is said that there was not enough food at the beginning. Later, the Eighth Route Army kept supplying them, but they only cooperated with the Eighth Route Army, not subordinates. In the past, Liu Bocheng sent people to invite them three times, but they were all rejected.
We have different affiliations and if it is inappropriate to meet each other, we will keep them away."
Tsuneoka Kanji smiled slightly and said, "We have six brigades and three regiments of the Imperial Army, which are enough to deal with these people. Immediately contact the aviation force to carry out bombing. Then the Imperial Army will be in front, and our army will intersperse on the left.
Divide, encircle, and annihilate the enemy in one battle. This Tong Linge escaped back then. This time, we must not let them go!"
