"We are the division's security forces, and we are searching for nearby enemies!" Someone shouted not far away.
Liu Gen frowned and looked into the darkness. He twitched his ears and could hear these people lowering their steps and still approaching this area.
"Fight! These are enemies!" Liu Gen ordered decisively.
If it were really the troops responsible for protecting the division headquarters, they would definitely report their unit numbers directly, but the information given by these people was too vague, and they were still moving forward quietly. At this moment, Liu Gen could already confirm that these were the enemies.
It was a small force that the Japanese soldiers secretly sneaked into the base area.
When the soldiers of the artillery battalion received Liu Gen's order, they did not hesitate and chose to shoot decisively. For the soldiers of the artillery battalion, they had enough trust in Liu Gen and believed that Liu Gen's judgment would be correct.
"Bang", "ta-da-da", "boom"
In an instant, the soldiers started shooting. Facing these enemies, the artillery battalion soldiers chose to attack with all their strength without any reservation. The artillery battalion is too important, and most of them are artillery, so naturally they cannot be attacked by these enemies.
Rush to the artillery camp.
"Comrade! Don't shoot! We are really the division's defense force!" Faced with the shooting from the soldiers of the artillery battalion, those people not far away were still shouting.
However, they were suddenly attacked by the artillery battalion, and there were many casualties among these people. Some people couldn't help crying out in pain, but Liu Gen heard the screams of pain from these people in the sound of gunfire, and it was definitely the Japanese.
"Keep fighting! These are the little devils!" Liu Gen shouted again.
Liu Gen shouted in time. The soldiers who were hesitant at first because of the Japs no longer had any hesitation. They kept shooting at the Japs' position, firmly suppressing the Japs.
Facing this small Japanese force, Liu Gen did not dare to show any contempt. Being able to quietly reach the headquarters of the 129th Division already demonstrated the capabilities of this Japanese army. It was night again now, and if he really relaxed, he would be charged by the Japanese.
It would be too troublesome to come out.
While ordering the soldiers of the artillery battalion to continuously suppress the Japs, Liu Gen also chose to contact the division commander, hoping that the division commander could mobilize his troops to successfully trap the Japs in this area and annihilate them all after dawn.
.
Liu Gen felt that there was no need to worry too much about dealing with this small group of Japanese soldiers. As long as this group of Japanese soldiers could be trapped in this area at night, it would only be a matter of time before dawn to completely annihilate this group of Japanese soldiers.
After contacting the division commander, Liu Gen learned that the division commander had ordered the troops to move toward the enemy's rear to encircle them.
The division commander's attitude is very firm. He must not let go of this small Japanese force no matter what. He must annihilate this Japanese army! This time being touched by the Japanese near the division headquarters is already very clear. The division commander does not want to do it again in the future.
Something like this happens.
At the same time, the infiltration of a small group of Japanese troops also made the division commander realize the advantages of small unit operations. Small unit operations are too flexible, and it takes too much energy to defend against such a small unit attack. If you want to deal with such a small unit,
Only small units can do this job.
What's more, if the Japanese's small force can reach the headquarters of the 129th Division and the depths of the anti-Japanese base area, then the small force formed by the Eighth Route Army cannot sneak into Taiyuan? Can't sneak into Peiping? Or even say, can't sneak into
Tokyo, Japan?
In the opinion of the division commander, the Eighth Route Army can still do it if it wants to form such a small unit. Even if it requires a lot of resources to train a truly qualified combat team, he is willing to do it. When the Japanese small unit does not touch the division
The division commander could be indifferent or despise the capabilities of the small Japanese troops.
But when the Japanese small force successfully reached the 129th Division headquarters and took the initiative to launch an attack on the 129th Division headquarters, how could the division commander not pay attention to such a small combat unit? The performance of the Japanese small force has fully demonstrated
The formation of a small unit is very necessary, and its combat effectiveness is also very strong.
On the 24th, in the early morning, as soon as it got dark, the soldiers who besieged the small Japanese army took the initiative to launch an attack. After several hours of suppression, there were not many remaining Japanese troops. After a simple charge, the soldiers defeated this small Japanese army.
All were wiped out in this area.
As for whether any Japs managed to escape under the cover of night, Liu Gen and others were not very clear, but from cleaning up the battlefield after the war, they found that these Japs were wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and the weapons in their hands were exactly the same as those of the Eighth Route Army troops. Anything can be exposed
None of the weapons and equipment identifying them could be found on these devils.
The only thing that can prove that these people are Japs is that these people are wearing loincloths, and only Japs would wear them like this.
After successfully killing this small Japanese force, the 129th Division headquarters and artillery regiment continued to move. At the same time, the division commander also ordered the correspondent to contact the bosses of the headquarters who were transferring and inform them of the news that the small Japanese force had entered the anti-Japanese base area.
There is definitely not only one small army like the Japs. If there are any remaining small Japs troops, then it is very likely that they have gone to where the bosses at the headquarters are.
For the safety of the bosses, the division commander needs to report this news to ensure that the bosses can take precautions.
But after contacting the headquarters and learning about the transfer of the headquarters, the division commander's face became extremely ugly. From the correspondent, he learned that in the early hours of this morning, that is, the same time that the division headquarters was attacked by a small group of Japanese troops.
, another small Japanese army launched an attack on the headquarters.
Due to the serious shortage of combat troops in the headquarters at that time, the headquarters suffered a lot of losses. Fortunately, the bosses did not have any problems. Except for Zuo Quan, the deputy chief of staff, who continued to evacuate the headquarters, the other bosses had evacuated safely.
.
The bosses wanted Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan to be transferred together, but Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo refused. He chose to stay and take charge of the overall situation. Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo was worried that after he left, the transferred staff would become chaotic and affect the situation.
to their next transfer work.
In order to better complete the transfer work and stabilize the mentality of the comrades, the left deputy chief of staff stayed.
The small Japanese force attacked Guojiayu, about ten kilometers away from Wujun Temple. Wujun Temple was the former headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. It is conceivable that this small Japanese force came towards the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. They did not encounter the headquarters.
The bosses and these little devils discovered that some of the evacuees from the Eighth Route Army headquarters were retreating, most of whom were civilian personnel.
After learning the location of the small Japanese army, all the evacuating troops chose to change their direction to avoid encountering this small Japanese army again.
At this time, Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan was commanding operations on Cross Ridge near Nan Aipu Village, and was still some distance away from this small Japanese force.
