Well, this battle is actually the follow-up to the decisive battle of Huangqiao, and it is another battle of the New Fourth Army against the stubborn army. The difference is that this time the fifth column of the Eighth Route Army participated in the battle. Which army is the fifth column? Okay,

Not to mention that most people don't know, even Hu Changyi, who lived in this era, was a little confused. However, this column was developed from the troops of the 344th Brigade.

By the way, the 344th Brigade fought in the Battle of Dingdian the year before last and helped fight the Battle of Caodian. In the meantime, they were seconded by the headquarters to help guard the situation in southeastern Shanxi. It was not easy. In fact, Hu Changyi saw the 344th Brigade from Minister Zhang.

After reading the introduction to the development process of the brigade, he was still a little confused. Just the various names of regiments, detachments, guerrilla corps, etc., made his head buzz.

Well, the reason why I am writing this is because when the Eighth Route Army was fighting the Hundred Regiments War, the die-hards from Guo Prefecture launched the second round of anti-Red upsurge. The die-hard troops from all walks of life targeted us everywhere, especially Han Deqin who was diligent and diligent.

They fought the Battle of Huangqiao, but were pushed back by the New Fourth Army. Now, the Battle of Caodian is a battle that continues to pursue Han Deqin.

However, the final outcome of this battle did not achieve the expected results. Instead of annihilating all the stubborn troops, some strategic locations were occupied, allowing the New Fourth Army to have a communication channel to advance eastward.

Even if Hu Changyi wanted to help with matters in the south, he was beyond his reach. All he could do was check the news from Minister Zhang and learn about the progress of the battle. In fact, there was very little information available.

This is not a battle in the southeast of Shanxi. It is so far away that the only way to transmit information is through telegraph, which is too difficult.

Here at the shooting range, the rocket launcher training was really completed in three days. In fact, it was just 42 rockets, which could be fired very quickly. Multiple units were installed in the launch tube, and it took less than a minute

They all flew out. However, Li Yuexuan and the others used a triple launcher, the kind placed on a flatbed truck. After the launch, reloading was very time-consuming.

The key issues are aiming, calculating ballistics, etc. This is a new weapon, or even a transitional weapon. It is useless if too many people master it. It is good to give it to special forces for one-time combat purposes.

"You sent out the special forces just to blow up the Japanese city gates? What do you think?" After listening to Hu Changyi's report about the rocket launcher reaching the second phase of the experiment, Minister Zhang was very dissatisfied with Hu Changyi's arrangement.

"Then what to blow up? They are just dealing with some experimental products that are not up to standard. They can fly out and hit the city wall with a bang and explode. The best case scenario is to blow up the city gate." Hu Changyi said to this

I am very confident in the power of the test product, but as for the accuracy... forget it, this thing is not famous for its accuracy.

"If you really want to cause some trouble for the Japanese, then go here and blow it up!" Minister Zhang pointed to a point on the map and said.

"Red Earth Mountain? What's here?" When Hu Changyi said this, he suddenly remembered that he had written it in his book, and then said directly: "Did the little devil build a turret here?"

"It's not a turret, it's a fort! The Japanese captured a lot of civilians to serve as young men and built a large fort here. Look at this location. To the west and north, control and fire to the Liao County Highway. To the east, the direction is the control area.

Liao Highway. Look here, this is the place where Li Yunlong ambushed him. The fort has not been repaired. Once it is repaired, Li Yunlong will be in danger," said Minister Zhang.

"So it's fixed now?" Hu Changyi's mind was a little confused and he asked.

"It is still being repaired, but the main body has already been formed, and about five to six hundred people are being forced to work. Do you know the virtues of the Japanese devils? Hu Sanxi of Zhaojiacun, six people were driven by the devils into a lime pond to stir lime barefoot.

Both legs were burned. Six of them were pulled back to the village by trolleys. One of them couldn't hold on, and the bones in his legs were exposed when he died..." Minister Zhang said.

"Huh..." Hu Changyi breathed out and said nothing more. As for this fort, he knew that it was the largest fort in North China. It was a group of forts. It was not destroyed until 1944. It is said that a large amount of explosives were used to blow it up. Since

Now that we have started to repair it, don't let it continue. There are still more than 300 people who were buried alive by the Japanese, and more than 200 people who died of exhaustion. We also need to save them.

"Okay, let's not go to Changzhi for experimental rocket launchers or anything like that. We'll change them to Liaoxian, Yushe and Wuxiang. We won't let Li Yuexuan and the others go, and we'll let the reconnaissance company of the main regiment lead our artillery team.

Just go. Li Yuexuan and the others, together with Li Erniu from the brigade headquarters and the brigade special team, directly destroyed this place!" Hu Changyi pointed at the location of Hongtu Mountain.

"Hmm... OK, we can also blow up the city gate. At least let the people know that we are still fighting the Japanese and will not stop just because the Chinese New Year is coming. Also, to attract some attention..." Minister Zhang helped with the analysis.

The target of the operation was determined, and the division headquarters was submitted for approval. The division headquarters also ordered the 385th Brigade to cooperate with the operation, and the matter was settled.

Then, when Li Yuexuan and the others received a sudden change in the target of their operation, instead of being disappointed, they were all excited.

"That's right, it's just a matter of blowing up a city gate, a job that can be done by the guerrillas, let's go and kill a chicken with a knife. Now it's okay, we still have to do this job!" Zhao Yuanbao was more active and spoke.

road.

"The work is left to you, and then it is your responsibility to finish the job! In this operation, one is to blow up the half-repaired fort, and the other is to rescue the people captured by the Japanese.

Three to one..." Hu Changyi's eyes were sharp: "All the Japs in this fort, not even a single one left, were thrown into the lime pit and buried by me!"

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" Many team members agreed in unison.

After two days of preparation, the special force team, with the cooperation of the transportation team, left Sanli Gorge and headed for the brigade headquarters. When they crossed the mountains and reached Shimen Village, Li Erniu had already led 135 soldiers of the brigade headquarters special force team.

Waiting here. Well, the two parties nodded to each other as greetings when they met, and then marched towards the north with the guide prepared by the brigade headquarters.

At the same time, the main regiments of the two brigades were mobilized one after another, making the Japanese troops guarding the stronghold nervous after receiving the news. What was the Eighth Route Army going to do? They were all psychologically affected by the Eighth Route Army's attack.

Then, the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were mobilized and stabilized. The news released was to consolidate the construction of the base area and help the people build houses for the winter.

Then, the time came to December 31, 40 years ago.

Hu Changyi sat alone in the office, holding a radio in his hand, adjusting the channel, waiting for the broadcast of our own radio station to start.

Outside the three counties, there are also people waiting for the time of time. Well, it will be about a year immediately. You always have to put a firework for the devils to celebrate it?
Chapter completed!
