On November 12, the Japanese seemed particularly calm. They seemed to have given up their attack on Huangyadong, and the entire Huangyadong area seemed particularly quiet.
But outside the Huangyadong area, all units of the Eighth Route Army were at war with the Japanese troops. The fighting between the units was very fierce. In a short period of time, several battles entered a fierce state. In the battle, casualties were inevitable.
, soldiers from all units suffered certain casualties.
It's just that these casualties are still within an acceptable range. The Japanese's raids on the anti-Japanese base areas have long made the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army extremely angry. Previously, the headquarters ordered each unit to try not to fight the Japanese directly, which made the soldiers feel angry.
A lot of worries.
But now, in order to reinforce Huangyadong and block the Japanese reinforcements, the soldiers of each unit no longer have to have any scruples. The only thing they have to do is to devote themselves to the battle and kill as many Japanese as possible.
At the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, Yoshio Iwamatsu learned that many troops were fighting with the Eighth Route Army, which put him under a bit of pressure.
Faced with the active attack by the Eighth Route Army units, all units of the First Army entered a state of combat readiness, and the entire Shanxi Province became chaotic due to the battle in Huangyadong. After taking over the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu knew that he needed to make a decision
Only by achieving certain results can we gain the favor of the North China Front Army Headquarters and the Army Base Camp.
Iwamatsu Yoshio understood that after taking the initiative to dispatch troops to attack the Huangyadong area occupied by the Eighth Route Army, this battle could not be lost, otherwise he would probably be like the previous commander, who could only return to his homeland and sit on the bench.
As expected by Yoshio Iwamatsu, he quickly received an order from the North China Front Army Headquarters. Commander Okamura Neiji ordered him to take advantage of this opportunity to grasp the specific locations of the Eighth Route Army units and extract the First Army.
Most of the troops carried out encirclement and raids.
The Eighth Route Army, which has been active in the Japanese-occupied areas, has long become a serious problem in the eyes of the Japanese army. The Japanese army does not want the Eighth Route Army to grow stronger in the first place.
After allocating the troops of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at the Huangyadong area. He knew that the outcome of this battle was really decided by this small Huangyadong! The only way to attack Huangyadong was to
If the troops successfully enter Huangya Cave and destroy the Eighth Route Army's arsenal in Huangya Cave, then this battle can be considered a victory.
Can the troops attacking Huangyadong really do this? Yoshio Iwamatsu was a little uncertain. The troops attacking Huangyadong sent a telegram reporting the specific situation of the attack on Huangyadong.
The Eighth Route Army's defense in the Huangyadong area was too resolute, and the construction of fortifications was also extremely complete. Even though the offensive troops consumed a large number of artillery shells for shelling, they failed to make much progress in the Huangyadong attack. It was only the first day.
The attack resulted in hundreds of casualties. If there is still not much progress, then the troops attacking Huangyadong are likely to be exhausted, and they will not be able to successfully capture Huangyadong.
In order to successfully capture Huangyadong, the attacking troops sent a telegram to Iwamatsu Yoshio, hoping to receive more artillery support and to dispatch aviation units to ensure that the massive defenses built by the Eighth Route Army in Huangyadong were destroyed in the shortest possible time.
fortifications.
Naturally, Iwamatsu Yoshio agreed to the request of the attacking troops. After a day, a large number of artillery shells were sent to the attacking troops. Now, Iwamatsu Yoshio hopes that his support to the frontline troops will be effective. If there is still little progress,
, then don’t blame him for being rude!
…
Huangyadong, the command post of the secret service group of the headquarters, Liu Gen and Captain Ou are studying the movements of the Japanese.
The Japanese did not launch an attack or bombard the position all day long, which made both Liu Gen and Captain Ou realize that something was wrong. Based on the situation when the Japanese attacked Huangyadong on the first day, the Japanese were bound to
At that time, he wanted to capture Huangya Cave in the shortest possible time and destroy the Eighth Route Army arsenal in Huangya Cave.
The failure of the attack on the first day was nothing to the Japanese. With the troops they had, they should be able to hold on for several days even if they suffered casualties like this every day.
"Genzi, did you see anything?" Captain Ou rubbed his temples and said with a headache.
In order to study the Japs' thoughts, Captain Ou had been thinking for a whole day, but he didn't get any good answers. Considering the Japs' situation, if they really want to continue fighting, they can definitely do it. As long as the Japs are willing to pay
At the cost of enough casualties, the Japanese could still attack the position defended by the Seventh Company.
After all, the position defended by the Seventh Company does not contain all the soldiers of the special agent group. As long as the Japanese are willing to risk human lives, they can still attack the position.
For the special agent group, the gain and loss of positions is actually not that important. There are more than 300 defense fortifications in the Huangyadong area. Even if the seventh company's position is lost, it will not have too much impact on the defense of Huangyadong.
Big impact. Soldiers can still rely on various fortifications to resist the Japanese attack.
Commander Ou did not believe that the Japanese could not see this, but they did not choose to attack, leaving Commander Ou unaware of his intentions. Could it be that the Japanese were not worried about the support of the Eighth Route Army troops?
"I can't see anything. The Japanese haven't attacked all day. They must be brewing some conspiracy."
"Perhaps we don't need to worry too much. With the defenses of Huangya Cave, no matter what plots and tricks the devils use, they can't easily break into Huangya Cave. However, we still need to remind the soldiers to be prepared for poison gas.
Fighting is what the Japanese are best at." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.
Like Captain Ou, Liu Gen did not understand the Japanese's thoughts. If they continued to attack with their strength, the soldiers of the special agent group would not have the slightest chance to breathe.
"Then let's not think about the situation of the Japs. I will ask the soldiers to be on guard against possible attacks by the Japs at any time." Captain Ou has no idea of continuing to speculate. He has too little information.
For some, it is not that simple to find out what the Japanese are thinking.
"Genzi, how are you prepared? The next step depends on you." Captain Ou looked at Liu Gen and asked expectantly.
Liu Gen smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, Captain Ou. The artillerymen and I of our special agent group have been prepared for a long time. As long as the Japanese artillery fires again, it will be our chance to kill them."
"According to my judgment, most of the Japanese artillery should be in the direction of Paoma Mountain, mostly heavy artillery and mountain artillery, while the Japanese mortars and infantry artillery are deployed in combat troops."
"Our target is the Japanese heavy artillery and mountain artillery. As long as these are killed, the Japanese mortars will not dare to be used easily. At that time, we can completely rely on the range advantage of the rocket launchers to continuously kill the remaining Japanese artillery."
"..."
In order to allow Captain Ou to understand his combat plan, Liu Gen described it in great detail. During this period, Captain Ou also asked a lot of questions, some of which supplemented Liu Gen's combat plan and became
Be more perfect.
It is inevitable to fight with the Japanese artillery soldiers. If the secret service group wants to reduce casualties in the defense, it must let Liu Gen kill as many Japanese artillery soldiers as possible! Without the Japanese artillery, the Japanese will be like a tiger without fangs. Soldiers
Relying on various fortifications for defense will undoubtedly greatly increase security. You don't have to worry about Japanese shells falling around you from time to time.
"Genzi, it seems that I have been worrying too much. You have already made enough preparations and your battle plan is quite complete."
"I'll be waiting for your good news then!" Captain Ou said with satisfaction.
After listening to Liu Gen's battle plan, Captain Ou felt relieved. He could see Liu Gen's intentions and knew that the battle plan was perfect enough. If the battle went as smoothly as Liu Gen expected, then Liu Gen would
The lives of Gen and others should not be in great danger.
"Well, the next defense of Huangyadong will depend on the special agent group. I need to lead the soldiers and set off." Liu Gen said.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Gen left Huangyadong with the artillery of the special service regiment. When they left, he also led a company of soldiers, more than a hundred people. In addition to a small number of soldiers who were on guard, most of them
Some of the soldiers were carrying rocket launchers. Rocket launchers were not included. Any soldier could carry a rocket weighing 18 kilograms.
The soldiers carried rockets on their backs and pushed three rocket launchers. These were the weapons used to attack the Japanese artillery. The shells the soldiers had spared were enough for three rocket launchers to fire three salvos. In Liu Gen's battle plan, the rocket launchers were only
Three volleys will be fired.
After three rounds of salvos, no matter what the result is, Liu Gen and others need to complete the retreat in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can the safety of Liu Gen and others be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
The soldiers of a company who are responsible for carrying rockets now need to carry rockets. When encountering the enemy, they need to be responsible for the safety of Liu Gen and other artillerymen.
Before leaving Huangya Cave, Liu Gen told the soldiers about this combat mission. He asked the scared soldiers to quit, but in the end no one quit. The soldiers were not willing to miss such a good opportunity to kill the Japanese!
I chose to leave Huangya Cave and venture to the outskirts of Huangya Cave because the range of rocket launchers is limited, only five kilometers. The range of the Japanese heavy artillery and mountain artillery is far beyond that of rocket launchers. In order to ensure that the Japanese heavy artillery and
The mountain cannon is within the range of the rocket launcher, so it is very necessary to move the rocket launcher to the outside of Huangya Cave.
In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese, Liu Gen and others did not make the slightest sound while walking. At the same time, there were many soldiers scouting in front.
Since the place Liu Gen and others went to after leaving Huangya Cave was relatively remote, there was no trace of the Japs in this area. It was also one of the few places in Huangya Cave that could remain quiet. But Liu Gen also knew that this area
The silence could not be maintained for long.
After finding a suitable place, Liu Gen and his soldiers hid. In order to prevent the Japanese from discovering them, they also made some disguises. Not far in front of Liu Gen and others, there was a high ground. Wait until the Japanese
When artillery fires, this high ground will become the best location to attack Japanese artillery.
At dawn on November 13, the Japanese, who had been quiet for a day, made a move. They concentrated all their artillery fire and launched an attack on the 1461 highlands of Paoma Mountain and Tiaohuazhai.
Under the suppression of the Japanese's powerful artillery fire, the soldiers of the secret service regiment defending Paoma Mountain and Tiaohuazhai 1461 highlands could not raise their heads at all, and the Japanese took advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack. These two places are located east of Huangyadong
Both sides of the entrance.
The soldiers deployed by the special agent group in these two places are mainly to detect the movements of the Japanese, which means that there are not many soldiers stationed in Paoma Mountain and Taohuazhai 1461 Highlands.
"The opportunity has come!" The moment the Japanese artillery sounded, Liu Gen led the soldiers and set off for the high ground not far away.
Driven by the soldiers, the three rocket launchers reached the height in the shortest time and were ready for the attack.
"After thirty seconds of inspection, if there are no problems, we will immediately launch the first round of attacks on the Japanese artillery!" Liu Gen said in a deep voice.
The artillerymen present took action. They quickly inspected the three rocket launchers, which had already been loaded with rockets. The three rocket launchers contained a total of 36 rockets. Once they launched an attack on the Japanese artillery, they would definitely be able to defeat the Japanese.
The artillery was caught off guard!
"no problem!"
"no problem!"
"..."
Thirty seconds passed, and the artillerymen had no problems. Liu Gen nodded, and after confirming the angles of the three rocket launchers again, he gave the order to launch!
The moment the rocket launcher was launched, rockets flew out quickly. In less than ten seconds, all thirty-six rockets flew out. At this time, Liu Gen and others did not have time to observe whether the rockets could hit.
They acted as fast as they could.
For Liu Gen and the others, the most difficult time is not when launching rockets, but during the process of loading missiles. Loading rockets is not a simple matter. It takes at least a minute to reload all three rocket launchers.
time.
For heavy artillery and mountain artillery, one minute is enough for them to fire about ten shells. In an artillery battle, every second is extremely important, let alone one minute.
One minute of loading time is already very fast for a rocket launcher. According to the rocket launcher information that Liu Gen knew, some rocket launchers take more than ten minutes to load. Of course, such rocket launchers will be more powerful.
At this time, thirty-six rocket launchers directly covered the Japanese artillery position. This artillery position was the position of the Japanese heavy artillery and mountain artillery. The Japanese gathered these artillery for better command.
But now, thirty rockets fell, and after the loud explosion, many craters appeared on the Japanese artillery position. Among them, the heavy artillery mountain artillery that was directly hit by the rockets was directly destroyed!
