"One regiment of our 204th Division is deployed near Wanling Mountain in the right-wing mountainous area to protect our army's right wing. The 206th Division is deployed to set up three lines of defense on the front. One regiment of the 6th Independent Division is deployed at Liuyuan Mountain in the left-wing mountainous area. The remaining troops are prepared for our army.
If the Japanese army wants to attack our army, they can only attack from the plain area less than five kilometers in the middle, but this will definitely be hit by our cross fire." Yuan Shengping introduced to Tong Linge while standing on Wanling Mountain.
Tong Linge nodded and asked worriedly, "We only have one division on the front. Isn't it a bit weak, especially since it is divided into three lines of defense?"
Yuan Shengping smiled and said, "It will be okay. Our layout is to have light troops in the front and heavy in the back, and heavy firepower in the front and light in the back. For example, the 206th Division's first line of defense only has one reinforced battalion, but there are more than thirty light and heavy machine guns alone.
There are even more mortars on the mountain, so you can rest assured."
Tong Linge smiled and said, "Then I'll just wait and watch the show."
"The Japanese troops are coming!" the signal soldier shouted, and everyone looked to the northeast. Sure enough, they saw a red pill flag appearing on the horizon. The Japanese troops were lined up very far apart, with three people in a team, and there were ten people between each team.
A few meters, a small team is enough to launch an attack area of two to three hundred meters. Japanese mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars were pushed up one after another, and Japanese armored vehicles also appeared. Tong Linge squinted his eyes and said, "The little devils are well equipped.
ah."
Yuan Shengping laughed and said, "Commander, isn't this better? After this battle is over, our army's equipment will have at least half more firepower."
Tong Linge was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized what was the biggest difference between the original National Army and the Red Party. Whether it was the Central Army or the local army, most of them were afraid of the Japanese army. When they saw the Japanese army being well-equipped, they often did not fight.
Although he was afraid of himself, the Red Party always regarded the enemy as a trivial matter. Tong Linge seemed to have found in the Red Party a kind of arrogance and self-confidence that had been lost by the Chinese people for nearly a hundred years.
Tong Linge burst out laughing and said, "That's a good idea. I will stand tall in the middle of the town and suppress the two hundred states in the southeast. When the rogues come, I have to be brave. Why bother fighting Pixiu on the ground! Japanese pirates! Come on!"
As if they heard Tong Linge's order, the Japanese army suddenly moved. One mountain cannon was fired, and the shells fell like raindrops on the position. Looking at the bombarded position, Tong Linge nodded and said, "The fortifications built by the soldiers are very qualified."
, the Japanese artillery fire did not cause much damage."
Yuan Shengping laughed and said, "We used a lot of quick-acting cement to build fortifications. The Japanese mountain cannons can only knock off a corner of ours, and the infantry cannons can only make a mark."
The Japanese troops came from afar and didn't have much ammunition. When they saw that they were almost there, a large group of Japanese troops rushed up. From time to time, they were covered by grenade fire carried by the infantry. Three hundred meters...two hundred meters...one hundred meters.
.The position of the Eighty-third Army was still empty.
Tong Linge asked nervously, "What's going on?"
At this time, Tong Linge saw a blue sky and white sun flag suddenly raised in the position. Five or six hundred people suddenly appeared in the empty position, and machine guns showed their fangs. But this was not the most disturbing thing.
The Japanese army was frightened. They only saw countless grenades thrown out of the trenches. The Japanese army felt that the entire sky was filled with grenades. The shrapnel of grenades filled the open space about 40 meters away from the trenches. Machine guns and rifles opened fire.
, the mortars and infantry artillery on the mountains on both sides also opened fire. Kanji Tsuneoka was surprised to see that one of his squadrons only lasted for less than three minutes before half of them were killed. The remaining Japanese troops were lying on the ground.
People on the ground did not dare to raise their heads. The sound of machine guns stopped, but the sound of rifles became more intense. Many soldiers of the 83rd Army started practicing their marksmanship.
Kanji Tsuneoka couldn't stand it anymore and said, "The Chinese troops have a lot of troops, but very few artillery, only light artillery. He ordered two regiments to attack the mountains on both sides to attract firepower, and the tank troops, aviation and artillery jointly cleared the way.
Open the gap."
Tong Linge stood on the mountain and clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Well done, well done!"
Yuan Shengping hummed and said, "It's just that the cost of bullets is so high that it's not worth it. If the central government hadn't footed the bill this time, we would definitely not be willing to play this way."
Tong Linge smiled and said, "I finally understand why your party has been dormant in Shanxi for a year. With Shanxi Industry as a logistics base and enough ammunition, it will be much easier for us to fight."
Yuan Shengping shook his head and said, "But our ammunition still cannot support us in a long war. When we were studying at the Anti-Japanese University, we learned that the US military highly praised a theory called victory by firepower alone, which is to use absolute ammunition and firepower to drown the enemy, regardless of
The local area invested a huge amount of ammunition for intensive bombing and artillery to carry out powerful suppression and devastating blows to the enemy. The lecturer at the time was Lin Sanhu of the 115th Division. He said that such tactics are extremely difficult to crack."
Tong Linge couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this the favorite tactic of the great powers? Isn't it impossible to fight?"
Yuan Shengping laughed loudly and said, "How is it possible? To put it bluntly, wars still rely on people. There is no unwinnable battle in this world. To take it a step further, the Japanese plane is coming."
Tong Linge nodded and said, "Order the air defense battalion to prepare for battle and contact our air force immediately to request support."
More than a dozen Japanese fighter planes waited for the Japanese tank troops to be assembled. They deliberately slowed down and followed the Japanese tanks forward. Li Qiwen, who commanded the artillery, frowned. He was originally a college student in Peiping, and this time he returned to Tong Linge's.
His subordinates made him extremely excited.
"The anti-aircraft machine guns are ready for air defense, and the combat anti-aircraft guns are aimed at the Japanese tanks. There are Japanese planes in the sky, everyone, be careful!" Li Qiwen shouted loudly. There were six combat anti-aircraft guns beside him. This is the first front line.
The main anti-tank weapon.
Relying on the cover of the air force, the Japanese tanks rushed forward unscrupulously, firing artillery shells at the newly exposed firepower points. Li Qiwen smiled slightly, and the soldiers around him constantly adjusted their gun positions in order to conceal these combat defense guns.
, Li Qiwen thought of many ways. In the battle just now, these cannons did not even move, just to give the Japanese tanks a hard hit.
"Fire! Aim each gun at one and fire with full force!" Li Qiwen shouted loudly. The gunner next to him suddenly pulled the gun rope. The artilleryman next to him didn't care whether he hit or not, and immediately loaded again. After fine-tuning,
Fired again, the six anti-tank guns fired thirty-seven rounds in just one minute. The Japanese tanks that were hit with all their strength had been beaten to death. Looking at the six tanks riddled with holes,
The other Japanese tanks were so frightened that they quickly retreated.
Seeing this, the Japanese fighter plane quickly pressed down the nose of the plane and prepared to bomb. However, it only felt as if its eyes were dazzled. The plane spun up. At first glance, the entire wing was blown away. A plane with the blue sky and white sun logo
The monoplane was above his head, and pilot Wang Hai continued to fly forward as if he despised it.
Tong Linge said reassuringly, "The Japanese army is at the end of its rope."
At this time, dozens of black spots suddenly flew from the sky. Wang Hai suddenly felt cold. They only had eight fighters as cover. They had to fight against at least thirty or forty Japanese planes. Even with the model advantage, Wang Hai
I also feel a lot of pressure.
"Comrades! Below us are our comrades! Behind us is our motherland. For the people, kill!!" The captain's order came from the earphone. Wang Hai took a deep breath and flew towards the Japanese aircraft group.
Just when the war in Ulanqab was in full swing, He Long and Fu Zuoyi met in Houhehot, more than 100 kilometers away from Ulanqab.
"Why don't the enemies in Baotou come out? Isn't this in line with the character of their Japanese army?" He Long said while smoking his pipe.
Fu Zuoyi laughed and said, "Now the Japanese and puppet troops are in Baotou, Houhehot, and Bayannao'er. The combined total of the three places is only 20,000. How can they dare to divide their troops?"
He Long shook his head and said, "This enemy is easier to destroy in the wild, but in the city it costs a lot of artillery shells."
At this time, a general dressed as a Mongolian came over, saluted He Long and said, "Ulanfu has met the chief."
He Long looked at him, patted him with a smile and said, "Comrade Ulanfu, good, your Mongolian Banner Independent Brigade is famous in the Mongolian grassland."
Fu Zuoyi praised him and said, "General Ulanfu is so powerful. He knows the mountains and rivers around here well, and he even instigated a Mongolian cavalry division. When we first arrived, the Japanese wanted to fight us in the field, but we were flanked and defeated."
.Now the Japanese do not dare to come out. The most important reason is that they are afraid that if they come out, the Mongols in the city will rebel."
Ulanfu was only 33 years old. He had joined the Chinese Red Party as early as 19 years old. He also went to the Soviet Union to study and participated in the Battle of Bailingmiao. After July 7, he continued to persist in guerrilla resistance on the Mongolian grasslands.
He Long asked, "Comrade Ulanfu, what are your thoughts on attacking Houhehot?"
Ulanfu said, "Houhehot is the largest and most solid city in the entire Mongolian grassland. The city was officially built here from the Ming Dynasty. The old city was destroyed by fire in the early Qing Dynasty. During the Kangxi period, the current new city was built outside the old city. The new city was for the army. The old city was
The city is for the people, and the two cities are connected. After the Japanese occupation, the Japanese and Japanese troops were placed in the new city, and the old city was for the puppet Mongolian army. Now in order to defend our army, the Japanese army has arranged troops to guard the old city, but the main force in the old city
It is still the puppet Mongolian army. Many of them are loyal to our army. There are even some company and platoon leaders who are our people. We can arrange for them to blow open the city gate and then take the opportunity to rush in. As long as the arrangement is good, I believe it will be
It can be successful."
He Long asked in disbelief, "Is it really possible? If it goes well, Houhehot will not have to suffer from the flames of war. This is a great achievement."
Ulanfu nodded and said, "A large part of the Mongolian people are loyal to the Republic of China, and Houhehot has been the center of Mongolia since ancient times, but now it has been changed to Bayannur. This is a choice made by the Japanese army in order to balance the power of East and West Mongolia, but it has harmed
It has won the hearts of the people of Hehot, so you can rest assured."
He Long nodded and said, "Then let's do it!"
--late at night
He Long, Fu Zuoyi, Wu Lanfu and others looked nervously at the gate of the agreed old city. Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared on the gate, followed by a huge explosion. He Long shouted excitedly, "Comrades! Charge in."
Go to the city! Liberate our Mongolian compatriots!!"
Ulanhu had already mounted his horse. He took a sip of wine, sprayed it on his saber and shouted in Mongolian, "Our wives and sisters are waiting at home for the news of our victory. The enemy is right in front of us. Kill the Japanese and Japanese who oppressed us."
We were raped, let the sunshine of victory shine on us! Kill!!"
At this time, the city of Houhehot was already in chaos. There were gunshots and shouts everywhere in the dark night, especially when the troops entering the city kept shouting in Japanese, "Defeated! The city is broken! Run!" It was even more disturbing.
The Japanese army was panicked.
"Don't be chaotic!! It's just that the old city was opened by a traitor! Warriors of the empire, join me in counterattack!!" Japanese commander Hoji Sakai shouted loudly, waving his samurai sword, hoping to turn the tide.
"Artillery attack! Artillery attack!! It's a roaring heavy artillery! Hurry and take cover!" A shrill sound that seemed to pierce the sky tore through the sky. Just as Sakai Hoji wanted to turn around, a huge force pushed him from behind.
The ground was followed by a thunderous explosion. Countless artillery shells and rockets fell into the Japanese military camp in the new city. The firepower of 12 122 heavy artillery and hundreds of rockets crashed into the new city. The soldiers who had just assembled
The Japanese army was once again dispersed, and the Japanese army was gone.
——Taihang Mountain
At the Military Medical General Hospital in Taihang Mountain, Lin Jinliang and several arsenal experts were carefully observing the bombs delivered.
Lin Jinliang is from Fujian. He joined the Red Army at the age of 19 and studied medicine diligently. At this time, he was known as the best knife in North China. A military expert said, "Anyway, let us open this bomb first. You said there may be a virus in it, then we will
Just be well prepared and find a closed place to open it."
Lin Jinliang nodded and said, "Go to the freezer. It's sealed for freezing." After that, Lin Jinliang said to the soldiers next to him, "If we don't come out for a long time, you don't have to go in. Just use gasoline to burn the freezer."
."
When the soldier heard such an order, he couldn't help but be stunned. Before he could react, Lin Jinliang led everyone to the freezer.
"Let's start!" Lin Jinliang said. Several arsenal experts slowly opened the bomb. As soon as they opened it, a black shadow flew out. Lin Jinliang grabbed it, slowly opened his palm, and surprisingly found that it was actually a small
flea.
This was just the beginning. Countless fleas jumped out. Looking at the dense sea of insects, everyone felt sick in their hearts. Lin Jinliang shouted loudly, "Quick, turn up the air conditioner to the maximum, we must not let these fleas escape."
go!!"
Several experts from the arsenal were frightened and quickly turned on the air conditioner in the freezer to the maximum. After the fleas jumped out, they quickly stopped jumping because it was too cold and just crawled around, looking extremely disgusting.
Lin Jinliang swallowed his saliva and said, "Fortunately we wore the protective clothing sent by Yan'an, otherwise we would have been bitten by these fleas."
The arsenal personnel nearby asked, "What on earth are these fleas?"
Lin Jinliang slowly caught a flea and said, "It's very simple. The plague that has been raging in the Taihang Mountains recently was infected by these fleas... The Japanese... are so cruel!"
