Outside the coal mine, Hong Linfeng looked anxious, as if he was waiting for something!
“Boom, boom, boom… da da da…”
As soon as a gunshot rang out two kilometers away, the anxious look on his face disappeared!
Next to him, Huang Sheng reacted even more and shouted with excitement: "Chief of Staff, the regiment commander has already started fighting. The Japanese reinforcements must have gotten into our pockets! Can we strengthen our offensive and capture the coal mine?"
!”
"Wait two more minutes!" Hong Linfeng also showed a smile on his face, and then began to give orders!
"Move the mountain cannon forward. Two minutes later, the cannon has a bayonet. Use the mountain cannon to directly target the remaining firepower points in the coal mine one by one and completely destroy them!"
"Yes, Chief of Staff!"
"Boom boom..."
The two mountain cannons fired at the same time, and the stone wall blocking the garrison was instantly blown up and turned into a pile of ruins!
"Boom boom boom..."
Explosions continued to sound in the stronghold, and the mountain cannons blew up and the mortars continued to explode!
Soon, dozens of black smoke rose from the Japanese stronghold, and more than a dozen firepower points were blown up into silence!
"Blow the charge horn, cover with machine guns, and start attacking!" Huang Sheng, the commander of the third battalion, shouted an order!
At the Japanese army headquarters in the mine, the lieutenant squadron leader was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He walked back and forth in the headquarters and cursed!
"Have the reinforcements not arrived yet? What do they do for food? They were stopped two kilometers away and couldn't rush over for such a long time. They definitely didn't want the troops to suffer too many casualties and deliberately delayed their efforts! I want to contact the headquarters and find out
Your Excellency General, sue them!"
The deputy captain hesitated and reminded: "Sir, judging from the sound of gunfire coming from the blocking position, there is at least one battalion of the Eighth Route Army blocking them, and it is also equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars, with powerful firepower!"
"It's definitely impossible to break through the position in a short time!"
"Perhaps the Eighth Route Army's attempt to stop them is a lie, but eating them in one bite is the real thing!"
The squadron leader fell silent, his face getting paler and paler!
There are so many troops in the Eighth Route Army and they have such powerful firepower. If they were allowed to command by themselves, they would not be limited to passive blocking!
The more I thought about it, the more likely it was that the Eighth Route Army would wipe out all the reinforcements, and then I became even more anxious!
"Then why are you still standing there!"
"If our conclusion is true, the Eighth Route Army will not only capture the coal mine, but also eat our reinforcements, then all of us will die here! Contact the garrison headquarters immediately and report our judgment. We will need more reinforcements.
!”
"Hi!" The adjutant quickly responded!
But before anyone could move, a second lieutenant rushed in injured: "Sir, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, and there are also mountain artillery participating in the battle. Our heavy firepower has almost been lost, and we can no longer stop it!"
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has entered the coal mine!" Another officer rushed in, with wounds all over his body!
After saying this, he fell to the ground with a plop and fainted!
"Boom boom..."
Two artillery shells hit just outside the headquarters. The shells exploded and the stone wall blocking the headquarters collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins!
Without the stone wall blocking the view, and with the constant firelight from the explosion of artillery shells, the squadron leader could already vaguely see the Eighth Route Army!
"It's over!"
These two words flashed through the squadron leader's mind quickly, and his face became paler, with a look of despair!
"Boom boom..."
Before anyone could react from the shock, the explosion went off again!
This time it was directly in his ear, and then he saw a burst of white light flashing in front of his eyes. As if he had been hit hard, he flew directly from the ground and hit the stone wall behind him hard, making him lose consciousness!
In order to make a quick decision and prevent the little Japanese from jumping over the wall and destroying the equipment and supplies that will soon belong to the garrison, the gunners who controlled the two mountain cannons had a great time today!
In the mining area, all houses that could hide people were destroyed by them!
The headquarters where the Japanese squadron leader stayed was their final bombardment target!
As the Japanese squadron leader was buried in the ruins, the gunfire on the battlefield began to gradually weaken, and the entire offensive war came to an end!
The communications staff officer of the Japanese garrison headquarters in Datong walked up to Major General Noda with a solemn expression!
"General, our connection with the coal mine was interrupted five minutes ago!"
"The radio station can't contact them either. I judge from my humble position that the coal mine has been captured by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Snapped!"
Major General Noda punched the table, his eyes were red, as if he could spit out fire!
What he was most worried about happened!
At this time, a scene appeared in his mind that made his back shiver!
More than two thousand absentees joined the Eighth Route Army, seized the weapons and ammunition of the Imperial Army on the battlefield, and then attacked the Imperial Army. There were constant tragic scenes of the Imperial Army being killed!
It is certain that once this picture becomes a reality, the military balance in the Datong area will be broken. The imperial army will no longer have the advantage in strength and will no longer have the initiative on the entire battlefield. Instead, it will suffer heavy casualties in the endless attacks of the Eighth Route Army. In the end,
We had to give up a large number of occupied areas and retreat to Datong!
After the Eighth Route Army occupies those occupied areas, it will definitely develop into base areas and use these new base areas to continue to expand its strength!
The strength of the Imperial Army in Datong will become weaker and weaker, while the Eighth Route Army will become stronger and stronger!
The more Major General Noda thought about it, the more desperate he became, and his face became paler and paler!
"Sir, something happened to the reinforcements!" Another staff officer rushed in!
"Two reinforced squadrons on the front line to reinforce the coal mine were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army two kilometers away from the coal mine. More than 400 imperial troops were wiped out, and 25 vehicles transporting the imperial troops were also destroyed!"
"bump……"
This time Major General Noda did not smash the table, but slumped down in his seat!
This bad news can definitely make things worse for him!
After a long time, he regained his energy and ordered with a serious face: "Order all the troops stationed in Datong to strengthen their alerts from now on to prevent the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army from taking the opportunity to attack us!"
"Without an order, no unit can take the initiative to provoke the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army!"
"Coupled with the losses just now, the total strength of the imperial army in Datong has reached a serious shortage. There are no mobile troops. No matter where the forward position is broken, we have no troops to reinforce!"
"At that time, the entire front line will collapse!"
"We absolutely cannot allow this kind of thing to happen, so everyone must hold back during the next period of time, properly handle the provocations of the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army, and never trigger a large-scale battle!"
"I will immediately report to the top the casualties of our Datong garrison during this period and request reinforcements!"
In the mine that had been blown into ruins, the gunfire stopped completely!
When Li Hao rushed over, the troops were cleaning the battlefield!
Compared with ordinary small and medium-sized coal mines, the large coal mine with garrison in front of us is not only larger in scale, but also has a rich variety of materials stored in it!
"Captain, we are rich!" Hong Linfeng shouted excitedly as soon as he saw Li Hao!
"The Japanese also built a small arsenal in the mine, which contains nearly 100,000 rounds of various bullets!"
"The equipment and ammunition we have seized recently belong to the Japanese combat troops. They use some of them themselves, and not much ammunition ends up in our hands!"
"Now that we have these 100,000 rounds of ammunition to replenish our troops, our combat potential will definitely be raised to a higher level. We will definitely have no problem fighting two battles!"
"There is also food: there are more than 500 little devils in the mine alone. They only eat fine grains and not coarse grains. They have stored up rations for nearly a month. Therefore, we seized 30,000 kilograms of fine grains in the coal mine, including rice and white flour.
!”
"There are more coarse grains, almost 100,000 catties!"
"There is also Dayang. Several traitors captured in the coal mine confessed: Because of the unrest outside during this period and the lack of troops stationed in Datong, the Japs have not transported minerals out of the country for almost a month. The income from last month plus the sporadic income from this month, and the Japs
It turns out that all the profits deducted are in the small treasury where the coal mine devils are stationed!"
"Oceans, gold, and yen, if all converted into oceans, it would definitely exceed 100,000!"
"In addition, we also rescued 2,856 people who were absent from work and seized all the equipment of the little devils in the mining area!"
"Except for those that were damaged by the bombing, there are still two heavy machine guns, one mortar, six light machine guns, and 264 rifles, which can almost form two infantry companies!"
The smile on Li Hao's face became thicker and thicker, his eyes flashed and he ordered: "Take it back, bring all the harvest back to the secret camp, not a bullet or a grain of food will be left to the little devil!"
"There are also bullet casings, collect them all and take them back!"
"The political commissar reported that although the repair shop has moved to the mountains, their research has not stopped!"
"During the counter-mopping up, they have already produced the propellant for bullets. Due to the shortage of raw materials, although the daily output is not large, it can already meet the demand of reloading 10,000 rounds of bullets every day!"
"I gave an order to the political commissar to support the armory at all costs to produce and reserve bullet propellant, and then expand the production of reloaded bullets!"
"I am certain that when we return to the base and bring back all the equipment seized in the past few days, our production of reloaded bullets will be at least five times higher!"
"So every bullet casing on the battlefield is a treasure in the eyes of our defense regiment!"
