Since the Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River from the east and rushed to the anti-Japanese front, it has been resolute in resisting the war. At the same time, it has conscientiously implemented the anti-Japanese united front policy, actively developed the masses to establish an anti-Japanese democratic regime, and implemented the policy of rent reduction and interest reduction. This has won the support of the masses and the troops have received
Rapid development, in less than a year since the 129th Division was launched, its troops have rapidly grown from more than 10,000 to more than 50,000, becoming a strong anti-Japanese force.
The Eighth Route Army continued to attack the Japanese invaders behind enemy lines, the Japs' transportation was constantly ambushed, and the weakly defended counties in the rear were constantly recovered, and the base areas also continued to expand. This made the Japs gradually pay attention to it. If this continues, their rear will be unstable.
, the frontal battlefield against the Kuomintang will also be defeated.
For this reason, the Japanese army mobilized troops and began to launch siege and raids on the Eighth Route Army base areas such as the Taihang Mountains and northern Shanxi. At this time, the growing Eighth Route Army began to develop into the plains. Under the Japanese raids, the main force retreated to the mountainous areas to carry out counter-mopping operations to defend the base areas.
In the areas close to the plains, the remaining troops were localized and attacked the Japanese invaders behind enemy lines. While attacking the base areas, the Japanese also tried their best to clear out the anti-Japanese forces developing towards the plains.
What the Japanese wanted to deal with this time was not only the guerrillas left behind by the Eighth Route Army, they also took the opportunity to eliminate all anti-Japanese forces, because they saw that the local anti-Japanese armed forces admired the Eighth Route Army, and some even had the name Nine.
The purpose of the Tenth Route Army is to learn from the Eighth Route Army, and in accordance with the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese united front policy, the Eighth Route Army unites all anti-Japanese forces. Even many bandits who occupied the mountains were reorganized under the inspiration of the Eighth Route Army. This is an army that cannot be ignored.
power, so while under military pressure, the Japanese also tried their best to win over some wavering armed forces, but they also tried their best to eliminate those who were determined to resist.
In order to clear away the forces developing towards the plains, the Japanese not only launched a sweep against the guerrillas left behind by the Eighth Route Army, but also began to wipe out various armed forces here.
Although the Japanese who attacked the area where Sanbao was located suffered a disastrous defeat, the situation in other places was not optimistic.
The Japanese also launched a raid on Black Tiger Mountain, dozens of miles away from Yujia Village, where Sanbao was stationed. There was an armed group of bandits occupying the mountain. The leader was Zhang Yunbiao. He had occupied Black Tiger Mountain many years ago and pulled up a bandit army.
A team of dozens of people, after the Japanese came, because he was determined to fight the Japanese, many people went up the mountain to defect, and the army quickly grew to hundreds of people. They intercepted the retreating Kuomintang army and obtained a lot of weapons, and many times ambushed the Japanese transportation and surrounding areas.
The strongholds gradually made some names.
On this day, Zhang Yunbiao heard that there were Japanese activities at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Yunbiao ordered his second boss, Cao Liang, to guard the mountain stronghold. He led dozens of people down the mountain to look for opportunities to attack the Japanese.
Not long after Zhang Yunbiao came down the mountain, he heard gunshots coming from the front. His subordinates came to report: "Master, there are seven or eight Japanese soldiers in front of us who are chasing a dozen young people."
"Go and have a look." Zhang Yunbiao immediately ordered.
Following the sound of gunfire, they approached quickly. Soon, Zhang Yunbiao saw the fighting in front. A dozen young men and women were running towards the mountains, followed closely by seven or eight Japanese soldiers. Behind the young men, there were two men with guns.
The soldiers resisted step by step, but they could not stop the enemy's approach. A soldier with a gun was hit by the enemy and fell to the ground. The enemy rushed towards him crazily...
At this time, a woman among the young men in front ran back. She came to the soldier who was hit to check, and quickly bandaged him briefly. Then, the woman actually picked up the gun in his hand.
Start shooting at the Japs.
Another shouted: "Quickly, I'll leave cover." However, the woman refused to leave when she saw that the wounded could not be evacuated, and continued to block them in place.
"Brothers, come on!" Zhang Yunbiao shouted immediately.
They rushed towards the Japs from the flanks. With a burst of gunfire, five or six of the unsuspecting Japs immediately fell down. The remaining two Japs immediately found bunkers around to block them. After all, the Japs were well-trained. How many of Zhang Yunbiao's men were there?
People fell and they were suppressed by the Japanese.
At this moment, the woman threw something at the Japs. With an explosion, the two Japs escaped howling. Then there was another explosion. One Japs fell down, and the other Japs tried to escape.
Zhang Yunbiao immediately raised his gun, and with the sound of a gunshot, the last Japanese man fell down.
