After the Japanese troops wreaked havoc for several days, they finally withdrew. Hancheng also received orders to go down the mountain and go home. After staying in the mountain for nearly half a month, the lice all appeared on the body.
"Let's take a walk. After we come down from the mountain, let's tidy up our house first. I don't know how many rooms the Japanese have left for us. When the time comes, we'll boil water in a big pot. After boiling the water, we'll take a shower. I'm so itchy that I can't do it."
Han Cheng first explained the plan and left the rest to others. He couldn't be idle when he got down the mountain. He had to go to each village to count the losses and borrow food from villagers who were living without food.
Borrowing tools must ensure the normal progress of production and life.
"Well, then, I will use our manpower first. Now all the villages under the mountain are probably affected by the disaster. There are probably not many farm tools, spades, and even cooking pots left. I have to make some first."
Let’s talk about things later.”
"It's okay, you can take it and use it. It just so happens that I take some time to take a rest. The days are still long anyway, and I'm not in a hurry to deceive the Japanese."
Han Cheng's scalp is still a little numb now, because most of the villages he passed on the way down the mountain were hit by military disasters. A few old people who were too late to move were hung at the entrance of the village, and young people had their heads chopped off entirely.
"The Japanese really think we have no temper."
The man said helplessly, his initial anger turned into helplessness by the pouring of cold water, while Han Cheng was calculating how much manpower and material resources would be needed to resume production.
"There is nothing we can do. We are safe now, and we can basically guarantee that the Japanese will not invade again. Even if we keep all the Japanese here, such a huge loss will be irreversible."
Destruction is always easier than construction. Anyway, while the weather is still dry, we can re-make mud molds and make mud bricks and then build them up. The Japanese are doing this now and everyone is used to it. It is better than leaving nothing behind when planes come and blow up.
is better.
"In the past, I was always afraid that Japanese planes would come over and drop an egg. Now, I'm even more afraid that Japanese planes will come over and set fire to you."
However, there is not nothing left in Hancheng. At least there is a steel beam left on the house. As long as it is repainted, it can still be used. It is like the Japanese heat treatment of the beam.
That’s all.
"Okay, I'll take people to each village to check the situation. You can organize the remaining people to pack up the place where we will stay tonight."
Han Cheng led the soldiers from the guard battalion and began to set out for each village. Although there were not corpses everywhere along the way, it could only be said to be a mess.
"Oh, look, look!"
Seeing this mess in Hancheng in the rear gave me an even more headache, but for the front line, the confrontation was actually more intense. Countless food buildings were destroyed. The form of war has not changed with the development of science and technology, and the destruction is still eternal.
theme.
"It's not that easy to restore the production department!"
"It is not easy to recover. We cannot continue to support so many people. Production must be restored. The war in the future will be more difficult than now."
Han Cheng frowned and said, "Every village has suffered losses to some extent, but it's just a matter of the size of the losses. If it's more serious, there are basically no living people in this village. If it's more serious, there are only a dozen people dead."
This is very annoying. There are not many people in the total base area, and so many people have died. Food production depends on these farmers! But the Japanese counterattacked in a big way, and you couldn't find a chance to make a sneak attack, so you could only endure it silently. But.
From the moment the Japanese began to withdraw their troops, war has changed. The strong cannot remain strong, and roles must be reversed.
At this time, the roles on the front line were being reversed. After enduring it for so long, the Eighth Route Army had long been holding back its energy. The district squad and the county brigade cooperated with the main force to start a counterattack, and the siege of the city began. The People's War cooperated with the city offensive.
, Yes, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi now dares to attack cities.
First of all, the city gates of the county town were the first to suffer, being blown down one by one. These historic city gates are all old things, and the brass nails on them have been rusted, telling the history above. But these history
Now that they have been blown down by newly produced explosives, these city gates have been trampled underfoot, and history is about to open a new page.
"Shoot all the cannonballs! I won't be able to survive today!"
The hidden artillery shells were fired like rain at this time. The Japanese had never seen the Chinese army react so fiercely. They were instantly defeated. The main force surrounded and suppressed the Japanese elite troops, interspersed and surrounded them.
It was learned from the Japanese, and combined with specially customized military weapons and equipment, countless Japanese troops lost contact with each other for a while.
"Baga, contact the headquarters quickly!"
The surrounded Japanese were trapped on the top of the mountain and did not dare to come down. But what was there on the top of the mountain? There was nothing but grass, and the water source problem was the most difficult thing now.
It is impractical to dig a well from the top of the mountain, but this is what the Japanese did. Even when the besieged Japanese lacked water sources, they still sent people to dig wells. There are not many wells in Shanxi here, and those that can produce water
There are fewer wells, and as a result, the water dug out is salt water, which is not drinkable at all.
"The mortars are all aimed at me. If there is any movement from the Japanese on the mountain, I will fire immediately."
The light machine gun is the main machine gun of the army. The more the main force is, the more it pays attention to the continuity of firepower. There will be some light and heavy machine guns. It is also because Han Cheng has a good foundation. Without so many bullets made by his repairs, they would not be as desperate as they are now.
The use of artillery fire.
"Commander, why are our weapons and equipment different from those of friendly forces elsewhere? The total number of light and heavy machine guns in our regiment is much greater than that of other regiments, and there are so many bullets."
"This thing was all made because of our Chief of Staff Han. Our Chief of Staff Han came here to solve the bullet problem. The first problem he solved was the bullet problem. He didn't talk about the light and heavy firepower and just solved it based on this thing. We are very comfortable.
Long time."
These main forces have been favored by Han Cheng to some extent, and each regiment has quite sufficient bullets. Although it is difficult to get bullets now, the bullets stored in the early stage are enough for them to squander for a long time.
"Aren't we feeling comfortable now? I see that compared to the troops in other places who have eight or ten rounds of ammunition on hand, each of our soldiers has at least fifty rounds of ammunition on hand!"
"50 rounds? Let me tell you, before the repair shop was completely empty, the most glorious time was when each soldier had 80 rounds of ammunition. We dared to go head-to-head with the little devil's troops and consumed all the ammunition and food of the little devil alive.
Absolutely."
"It's just a pity! Because the large arsenal needs to find a better place to build, so the talents have been transferred. However, Chief of Staff Han has not left. It will take some time to resume production, but this time will not be long.
.”
The regiment leader and the new political commissar were talking about the importance of Staff Officer Han. The regiment leader was actually more worried about ammunition reserves. If they had their backs to the armory, he didn't have to think about these issues himself. He could get as much supplies as he gave.
Bullets. It doesn’t work now! The repair machinery has been allocated. It’s not difficult to resume production. Is it going to take a lot of effort again?
"How about I make a report and ask the superiors to resume the production of weapons repairs. If this continues, our bullets will only become less and less, and it will be quite troublesome to replenish them."
The political commissar discussed with the regimental leader and then went to write a report. Not only the political commissar of this regiment was writing the report, but the political commissars of other regiments were also writing reports at this time, applying for the restoration of the production status of the repair shop.
