Chapter 1341 Chapter 1357, Hey, now it’s better

The Pingliao Highway is more than 90 kilometers long, with four county towns along the way. Starting from today, Liao County has been captured, Ping'an County has also been captured, and the remaining two county towns must not be spared.

Therefore, with the special service team paying close attention to the Japs of the 36th Division, the 2nd Division formulated an attack plan against Heshun and Xiyang. This plan included the 1st Division. After all, the two divisions are next to each other.

Just take down the two county towns in the middle. Then, everyone can develop the military and people's livelihood to their heart's content.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the six brigades that had entered the Zhuozhang River Valley, under the order of Yasuyuki Okamoto, changed from the rear to the front and quickly returned to the Lu'an area. In Beiping, Gangcun also stopped those

Let the reinforcements go back wherever they came from. Of course, the three brigades that were originally independent and mixed into the Fourth Brigade still have to return to Yangquan.

"Baga..." Gang Cunkuo sat at his desk, looking at the map. Apart from cursing, he really had no other choice.

What can he do? Soldiers? The soldiers are incompetent; generals will not obey orders; equipment? It seems that the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is better than that of our own... In short, everything is not going well!

"With the current method, we can only hope that Wang Jingwei can stand up and complete the policy of using China to govern China!" Gangcun sighed helplessly. That's all that can be done at the moment.

In fact, up to now, the Eighth Route Army in Luzhong is still attacking some Japanese strongholds. Various guerrilla groups are also in action, and landmines are buried at the entrance of the strongholds... And these are not regular troops.

The so-called militias and guerrillas are in action every day, and occasionally take away the defenders of one or two strongholds, causing the Japanese casualties to continue to increase.

Now, the military strength in the Japanese army is becoming more and more tense. Many divisions are being mobilized to Southeast Asia and the Pacific battlefield, and there is simply no supply of new soldiers. Therefore, transferring from the Chinese battlefield has become a good choice.

But, is it so easy to mobilize troops? No, this time the offensive has already been wiped out more than 7,000 troops before it even started. More than 7,000 troops may seem to be less than 10,000, but for the Japanese army in North China,

It's enough to break the bones. The key is that this time, the control area of ​​4 counties has to be lost again, which makes Gangcun feel frustrated.

"Obviously, there is no problem with the order I gave! In fact, there is no problem with Okamoto's order. One brigade went north. According to the previous combat effectiveness comparison, this brigade can fully support a regiment or a brigade of the army. But facing the Eighth Route Army

..." Gangcun himself felt that he had attached great importance to the increase in the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, but he always underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.

"Could this be the morale of the military and the morale of the people?" Gangcun began to think about this question. Because he also understood the situation of the Central Army, and even more so the situation of the Eighth Route Army.

As for the Central Army, even though it is China's regular army, it has sufficient military expenditures and supplies, but most of the military expenditures and rations have been embezzled. The soldiers at the bottom cannot be paid, and the military rations are not enough to eat. In the long run,

There are many troops that are in a state of hunger. For such troops, don't even think about their combat effectiveness.

However, the Eighth Route Army, which has always been called the beggar army, tried its best to ensure that the soldiers had enough food, and even provided educational measures such as cultural studies. What is even more frightening is that when they ensured the support of the army, they did not

Squeezing the people can even ensure their production and life and make their lives better!

Gangcun couldn't understand how the Eighth Route Army did it, but he knew that a well-educated, well-fed, and ideologically educated army would be much stronger than those of Preserved Fruit. However, he didn't expect it to be so much stronger!

"Now that the Pingliao Highway is gone, Yangquan must be preserved! The 62nd Division must ensure the safety of the Yangquan front line!" Gangcun murmured to himself. In his heart, Heshun and Xiyang had already been given to the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, anyone with a discerning eye can understand this, and Gangcun himself also understands that the Eighth Route Army will not let go of the other two counties. And what do the two protagonists of this matter, the Japs stationed in the two counties, feel at this time?

What about?

Heshun, the Japanese who had been fighting all night, had already packed their bags, prepared gasoline, and burned documents. When Captain Watanabe confirmed that the order he received was to break out, he gave a final sigh.

"Light it up!" In Watanabe's cold voice, the city defense headquarters was burned to the ground, and the nearby buildings were also set on fire. Hearing the cries of the people, the Japanese immediately shot and killed them.

In this way, they walked all the way out of the city gate and headed towards the mountains to the east. They didn't know what they were going to face during this trip. But orders are orders, and they must break through to break through.

Like them, the Japs from Xiyang also left the city with their supplies and headed towards the mountainous area to the east. However, they were more unlucky because just 10 miles out of the city, they ran into Lao Kong's team of the New Second Regiment.

That's right, after Lao Kong learned that Li Yunlong had captured Ping'an County, he arranged the defense of the defense area, and finally led a battalion directly to Xiyang.

In Lao Kong's opinion, Xi Yang would threaten Li Yunlong and needed a force to provide flank cover. Then, by some strange combination of circumstances, he fought against the Japanese.

"What? The Japs from a squadron opposite, with hundreds of puppet troops, are coming towards us?" Lao Kong's first reaction was that we had been discovered by the Japs?

"Captain, I just received a telegram from the headquarters: The Japs set a fire in Heshun and have fled to the east; the Japs from Xiyang have also fled!" At this time, the communications corps sent the latest information.

"Hey... it's okay now, the little devil has run into the arms of our old man Kong!" Captain Kong was happy this time. These devils are from Xi Yang's team.

"Pass my order and set up defensive positions on the spot! 1st Company is to the north, 2nd Company is to the south, 3rd Company and the regiment's direct team are following me here. Move quickly, hide well, and ambush if you can!"

Lao Kong gave an order, and without the Japs knowing anything, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment directly built a small ambush position. How long has the New Second Regiment been operating here? The terrain is familiar, little Japs.

But without this convenience, he ran directly into the ambush circle.

There is really nothing to say about the ensuing battle. Lao Kong and Xin's Second Regiment are not bad with weapons and have sufficient grenade launchers. There are many people bullying the few... In short, it is easily solved.

Three days later, on Hu Changyi's military map, four county towns were added to the red area. The entire northern district of Taihang District was completely red, and there was no longer an eye-catching area.

"Okay, the fight against the Japanese has come to an end, and all our troops have returned. The only drawback is that our artillery battalion was in vain this time. But it doesn't matter, you continue to intensify training. I have received news that the headquarters intends to expand the artillery force.

Troops. Based on your military exploits, there is no problem for Comrade Xin Lu to be promoted to the head of the new artillery regiment. And Comrade Lei Dapeng, there is a place for you in the rocket artillery regiment!"
