Chapter one hundred and forty-one suddenly enlightened
With a loud "boom", Qiligou Village flashed with flames, and then a huge mushroom cloud rose.
The ground trembled, Li Yinsuo's head buzzed, and then he passed out.
Yan Guiwu was sleeping when he suddenly felt a tremor beneath his body, knocking him off the wooden bed and onto the ground. He instinctively held his head in his hands and quickly lay on the ground.
After a long time, he got up and looked towards the place where the explosion sounded.
The scene in front of him made his hair stand on end. Under the moonlight, the originally dark buildings in Qiligou Village had disappeared.
He was very lucky that the Japanese commander sent him to relocate the people in the villages around Qilin Peak. When he returned to Qiligou Village, it was too late and he did not move in.
He stared blankly at the disappeared Qiligou Village, and suddenly realized that he was a blessed person. When he was a child, his father took him to a temple on Wutai Mountain, and an old monk there touched his head.
He said that this child would be blessed in the future. Later, his official career was prosperous and he became a brigade commander and a general. He only thought that it was because of his great ability, but now he discovered that he was really a lucky person.
He decided that after this battle, he would make time to go to Wutai Mountain again. But he didn't know if the old monk was still alive. If he was still alive, he would definitely donate more incense money to the temple.
.
Mantou Peak.
The big explosion that occurred in Qiligou Village alarmed Wang Chengzhu and others. They were all very happy, knowing that Li Yinzhu had succeeded, but they didn't know how many Japanese and puppet soldiers had been eliminated. Everyone was very excited and talked about it there.
Li Jinzhu was very nervous. He didn't know if Li Yinzhu was safe, so he stared blankly in the direction of Qiligou Village.
Gao Xiugu understood his mood and came to his side. She didn't know how to comfort Li Jinzhu, so she reached out and held his hand, accompanying him silently.
Guancheng County.
In the temporary headquarters, the confidential staff officer received a telegram from Captain Yamada of the 81st Regiment. He woke up Chiba Xunichi's adjutant and discussed with him whether to wake up Chiba Xunyi.
After reading the telegram, the adjutant felt very embarrassed.
Chiba Xunyi is a very serious person at work, and he just fell asleep at 1 o'clock in the morning. The adjutant felt it was a bit cruel to wake him up at this time and tell him such bad news. However, he knew Qianba Xunyi's temperament,
No major situation could be hidden from him, so he bit the bullet and went to wake up Chiba Xunyi.
The violent explosion in Qiligou Village killed 391 Japanese officers and soldiers, including the captain of the 81st Regiment. This blow was so heavy that Chiba Xunyi was in a daze for a while.
Qianye Xunyi is a Chinese expert, and he suddenly remembered an ancient Chinese poem: "Died before leaving the army, often making heroes shed tears on their towels." Nothing could describe his mood more aptly than this poem at this moment.
The chief of staff who came over after hearing the news saw Qianye Xun looking pale. He knew that no matter what words he said to comfort him at this time, it was meaningless, so he stayed by his side silently.
After a long time, Qianye Xunyi regained his composure. He waved his fist and slammed it on the desk, saying: "Bage Yalu, the little guerrillas are really too rampant. I must do it."
Completely eliminate them to comfort the heroic spirits of those Yellow Army soldiers who died for the country.
Chief of Staff, you stay in the county town while I go to Mantou Peak myself."
Soon after, the west gate of Guancheng County was opened, and Chiba Xunyi personally led the division and engineering team to Mantou Peak overnight.
Xu Dalong and others also felt the trembling of the earth, but they didn't know what happened.
In order to break the enemy's blockade, Xu Dalong decided to attack a Japanese and puppet stronghold on the blockade again tonight.
Xu Dalong and others took advantage of the darkness to launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops were very alert and discovered their traces before Xu Dalong and others could get closer.
The Japanese and puppet troops stayed in the trenches and fought against the guerrillas.
Xu Dalong and others used good tactical cooperation to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet troops.
Just when they were about to capture the trenches defended by the Japanese and puppet troops, a Japanese motorcycle convoy appeared in the distance, and Xu Dalong and others had to evacuate.
After evacuating the battlefield, Xu Dalong and others counted the number of people and discovered that seven more guerrillas had been killed or injured in this battle.
In the past few days of continuous fighting, the guerrillas had lost 22 soldiers and still had not broken the Japanese blockade.
In a forest, Xu Dalong and others discussed the current situation, and everyone felt a little frustrated. They discussed for a while, but couldn't find any good solution to the problem, so they ended the meeting and went to rest.
Xu Dalong was resting against a tree. Lin Xueying knew that he was not in a good mood, so she wanted to go over and comfort him.
But she was a woman after all, so she still had some scruples. She hesitated for a while before she mustered up the courage to come to Xu Dalong's side.
Xu Dalong saw her, reached out and patted the grass beside him, smiled and said, "Sit down."
Lin Xueying said: "We are encountering some difficulties right now, but I have confidence in you and I believe you will definitely find a way."
The trust and encouragement from Lin Xueying made Xu Dalong feel very comfortable, and his mood improved instantly.
He nodded and said confidently: "You are right, there is always a way."
At this time, a breeze blew by, and Xu Dalong saw Lin Xueying's body trembling slightly.
He naturally took off his coat and put it on Lin Xueying's body.
Lin Xueying was a little nervous, her heart was beating fast, and her face was a little feverish. She tried to calm herself down and said with a smile: "Thank you."
Xu Dalong was not sleepy at this time. Seeing that Lin Xueying was in good spirits, he simply started chatting with her.
He asked: "Ms. Lin, why did you join the military?"
Lin Xueying has a good family background. It can be said that she joined the military out of a misunderstanding. A few years ago, she was an ignorant girl, very individual, even a bit rebellious. Originally, when she was about to graduate, her family had already
It was arranged for her to work in the rear organization of Guofu. However, the Anti-Japanese War had just broken out at that time, and there was a wave of joining the army to serve the country on campus. Like all patriotic and passionate young people, she had the idea of joining the army and going to the front line to fight against Japan and save the country.
.
At this time, the military commander held a special training class for military commanders in Ganzhou and recruited 50 students in their school. Lin Xueying did not know much about the military commander and only wanted to fight against Japan and the country, so she signed up.
By the time her family found out about this, it was already too late. After Lin Xueying learned the inside story of the military commander, she also felt a little regretful. After several years of training, she has now become mature and steady, and can face her situation calmly.
.
Xu Dalong admired Lin Xueying's beauty, generosity, maturity and ability. He said: "That's good. There are many anti-Japanese comrades in the military who are truly passionate about serving the country. Just like the agents in your working group who sacrificed their lives for the country, they fought for the anti-Japanese war.
The sacrifices made are equally touching and admirable."
The affirmation from Xu Dalong made Lin Xueying feel very warm in her heart. She had a feeling of unhappiness that she had suppressed for many years. She said a lot that night. After speaking, it seemed that a heavy burden had been lifted, and she felt very relieved.
A feeling of relaxation.
Xu Dalong chatted with Lin Xueying and felt his trust in him, and he felt a desire to care for her. This feeling was very beautiful and made people feel comfortable.
Through the conversation with Lin Xueying,
His spirit was lifted and his thinking became clearer. He suddenly figured out a question and couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Xueying felt Xu Dalong's excitement, and she asked: "Have you thought of a good way to solve the problem?"
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "There is a way. It's getting late, you go to rest first, and we will discuss it together after dawn."
It's dawn, and the rising sun casts warm sunlight into the woods, shining with countless light spots on the ground.
Li Kun didn't sleep well last night. He was also thinking about how to solve the current dilemma, but he had no clue.
After waking up, he saw Xu Dalong in high spirits and confident, and Li Kun couldn't help but laugh.
He admired the resourceful young commander in front of him and knew that he must have thought of a solution to the problem. He smiled and said: "Brother Dalong, good morning."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Sir, good morning."
After breakfast, Xu Dalong, Li Kun, Sun Desheng, Wei Monk and Lin Xueying discussed the future combat deployment of the guerrillas.
☆☆☆☆☆☆
Xu Dalong said: "We have been a little passive these days. The main reason is that I made a mistake and thought about how to break the Japanese encirclement. Therefore, I passively attacked the enemy's defenses again and again. Not only did I not achieve any results,
Instead, many guerrillas were sacrificed.
In fact, as long as we think about this problem in a different way, the sea and the sky are vast, and there are countless good fighters waiting for us.
Mantou Peak has always been easy to defend but difficult to attack. The guerrillas have enough food and ammunition. I believe Wang Chengzhu and the others will be able to hold Mantou Peak. Since they can hold Mantou Peak, there is no need for us to get in touch with them now, and there is no need to break through.
Encirclement by Japanese and puppet troops.
Since the main force of the Japanese 32nd Division is concentrated in this area, their strength in other places must be empty. There is no need for us to fight with them here. We can simply leave Mawu Mountain and go deep into the enemy's war zone to attack their weak links.
This is called he fights his, and we fight ours.
This time the Japanese and puppet troops dispatched such a large force to besiege Mantou Peak. They had to eat what was eaten by horses, and their daily consumption was a huge amount. They simply could not hold on for a long time.
Let's go deep into the enemy's rear and destroy their lair. I don't believe that they don't feel bad. I'm afraid it won't be long before they bring their troops back to protect themselves, and their siege on Mantou Peak will be naturally lifted.
Already."
Sun Desheng stretched out his hand and patted his thigh and said: "Captain, you are the one with the brightest brain. The main force of the Japs has been transferred here. We are not going to deal with the remaining soldiers and generals casually. I agree, let's just do this."
Dry."
Monk Wei also had no objection.
Li Kun also appreciated Xu Dalong's opinion. Inspired by Xu Dalong, he said: "Since the troops behind the enemy lines are empty, I would like to send a telegram to the World War II District Commander's Department and ask the Chief of Staff to approve Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment to act with you."
Xu Dalong said happily: "This is the best. With the 358th Regiment acting together, we can attack some important targets of the Japanese and puppet troops."
Li Kun just did what he said. He drafted a telegram and asked Lin Xueying to send it to the Second War Zone Commander's Department.
The chief of staff quickly sent a telegram back to Li Kun, saying that the 358th Regiment had been notified and asked them to contact Chu Yunfei to discuss matters related to coordinated operations.
Before Lin Xueying could send a telegram to Chu Yunfei, Chu Yunfei's telegram arrived first.
He expressed his willingness to act with Xu Dalong's guerrillas and agreed to meet at Sanduozhuang in Xinhe County.
After Xu Dalong and others returned the telegram to Chu Yunfei, they all mounted their horses and headed for Sanduo Village.
Mantou Peak.
Qianye Xunyi set out all night. After entering the mountain, he met Yan Guiwu, commander of the 7th Puppet Brigade. He briefly asked about the situation and ran directly to the foot of the mountain ridge west of Mantou Peak without taking a rest.
He observed the situation on the mountain through the gun mirror, and said to the captain of the 82nd Regiment who had just arrived: "Why haven't you organized your troops to attack?"
The captain of the 82nd Regiment was a little confused by the training, because Chiba Xunyi's pre-planned tactics were to surround the enemy and did not allow him to launch an attack.
He saw Chiba Xunyi's face ashen and understood that he was angry because of the incident with the 81st Regiment. He did not dare to talk back, so he ordered his men to prepare for an attack.
The last time Yan Guiwu acted with the 83rd Regiment, Taro Inoue and his troops were wiped out. This time he acted with the 81st Regiment, but the captain of the 81st Regiment also died.
He was worried that Qianye Xunyi would cause trouble for him. Seeing Qianye Xunyi's face ashen, he was worried that if the Japanese launched an attack and failed to defeat Mantou Peak, Qianye Xunyi would become angry and use him as a punching bag.
Yan Guiwu felt that he should behave well in front of Qianye Xunyi so that Qianye Xunyi would not anger him.
He thought clearly that most of the people in his seventh brigade were supplemented by Qianye Xunyi. He didn't care whether these people lived or died, so he said: "Your Excellency, division commander, thank you for your continued support."
With regard to Beizi, please leave the attack on Mantou Peak to Beizi. If Beizi cannot take Mantou Peak, please ask Huang Jun to take action."
Yan Guiwu is worthy of being a veteran, and his show of loyalty really made Chiba Xunyi very happy. In his mind, Huang Xiejun was just a dog-legger, and of course he would be happy to sacrifice them to reduce the casualties of the Japanese army.
He said: "Yoshi, just lead your men to attack."
Yan Guiwu quickly organized his troops and sent out a battalion to prepare for an attack.
He stood in front of the assembled battalion and shouted loudly: "Brothers, now is a good opportunity for us to be loyal to the Yellow Army. We must fight bravely and do not let down the high expectations of the division commander.
As long as you can rush up the mountain, each of you will be rewarded with ten yuan and promoted to the third level."
Having said this, he pointed to the security company at the brigade headquarters behind him and said: "I will personally lead the security company to supervise the battle. Anyone who dares not to advance in fear of the enemy will be shot to death."
Yang Guiwu's performance made Chiba Xunyi nod frequently and said: "Just launch an attack. The Huang Army's artillery will provide you with cover."
"Boom, boom, boom."
The Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery began to bombard. The Japanese artillery summed up previous experience. They did not place the artillery together according to the original infantry drill. Instead, they dispersed the artillery and bombarded the top of the mountain.
Wang Chengzhu placed four Type 92 infantry cannons on the top of the mountain. He had been waiting for the Japanese artillery to appear. At this time, he had a great advantage on the terrain and could see the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannons.
But the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain couldn't see them.
Wang Chengzhu saw that the Japanese artillery was scattered, so he concentrated all the artillery to hit one of the Japanese artillery alone.
The Japanese army couldn't see the guerrilla artillery, so they fired blindly at the top of the mountain. The area on the top of the mountain was not large, and they hoped to hit the guerrilla artillery.
The two sides engaged in an artillery battle. Wang Chengzhu and others destroyed three Japanese Type 92 infantry guns in succession. Seeing that this was not an option, the remaining Japanese artillerymen retreated with their artillery guns.
Since the top area of Mantou Peak is not too large, a shell from the Type 92 infantry gun fired by the Japanese army landed near a guerrilla gun, killing three guerrilla artillerymen.
When Qianye Xunyi saw this situation, he became even more angry and ordered Yan Guiwu to attack immediately.
The officers and soldiers of the puppet army climbed up the mountain under the pressure of the supervising team.
To deal with the infantry of the Japanese and puppet troops, Wang Chengzhu was reluctant to waste artillery shells, so he left it to the infantry of the guerrillas to deal with them.
Wei Heping's fighting was getting better and better now. When the Japanese army started shelling, he only left two sentries on the position to monitor, and the rest retreated into the cave.
When the Japanese army stopped shelling and charged towards the mountain, he led the guerrillas out of the cave and into the position.
The guerrillas were very calm. When they saw the puppet troops rushing up, they just waited patiently. When the puppet troops rushed to a place sixty or seventy meters away from the guerrilla position, they started shooting.
Although the guerrillas were reluctant to waste artillery shells, they had plenty of bullets. Machine guns and rifles poured bullets like a heavy rain on the puppet troops who climbed up, killing and wounding them all.
The puppet troops were hit by fierce firepower and immediately panicked. They couldn't help but retreat back.
Yan Guiwu could not embarrass himself in front of Qianye Xunyi, so he immediately ordered the supervising team to open fire and knock down the puppet soldiers who tried to escape to the ground.
Seeing that there was no way out, the puppet troops could only bite the bullet and continue charging up the mountain.
The guerrillas fired bullets at the puppet troops at the foot of the mountain and threw grenades and grenades down the mountain.
They were condescending and threw them far away. Many grenades and grenades exploded in the air.
The puppet soldiers suffered heavy casualties. They had no way to retreat and had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue charging upward.
The firepower of the guerrillas was so fierce that even though all the puppet soldiers at the foot of the mountain were dead, no one could rush within 30 meters of the position on the mountain.
Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, the puppet soldiers were all silent, and Yan Guiwu also felt his scalp numb. He looked at Qianye Xunyi, hoping that he could give an order to stop the attack.
Chiba Xunyi didn't regard these puppet soldiers as human beings at all. He didn't care about the life or death of these puppet soldiers. He just hoped that these puppet soldiers would be used as cannon fodder to consume the ammunition of the guerrillas.
Facing Yan Guiwu's gaze, he didn't even bother to say anything. He waved his hand to signal them to continue the attack.
Yan Guiwu had no choice but to transfer another battalion and continue his attack on the mountain.
This time the attack had the same result. Not one battalion of puppet troops survived.
Qianye Xunyi was very angry. He originally wanted the puppet soldiers to continue attacking, but he also saw the anger in the eyes of the puppet soldiers. He also knew that if this continued, it was very likely that these puppet soldiers would be completely angered.
army, leading to a mutiny.
So he ordered Yan Guiwu to stop the attack and let the Japanese troops of the 82nd Regiment take over the offensive task.
An infantry squadron of the Japanese army launched an attack, with similar results. They still did not rush within 30 meters of the position on the top of the mountain, lost half of their troops, and had to retreat.
"Baga crushes Lu, this damn terrain." Chiba Xunyi cursed a few times. He knew that if he continued to attack like this, the soldiers would die in vain. So he ordered to stop the attack and continue to besiege the guerrillas on the mountain.
.
When Xu Dalong and others arrived at Sanduozhuang, they saw Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and others.
Chu Yunfei and Xu Dalong attacked the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp last time and tasted the benefits. This time they brought out the main force of the 358th Regiment.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they began to study the next battle plan.
Fang Ligong asked his staff to lay out a local military terrain map on the ground. Xu Dalong picked up a red pen, drew a circle on the map, and suggested: "Mr. Chu, there are not many Japanese and puppet troops in Xinhe County. Let's
Let’s start with Xinhe County.”
Chu Yunfei and others had full confidence in Xu Dalong, and they had no objections, so they led a large group of troops and rushed directly to Xinhe County.
That afternoon, Chu Yunfei and Fang Liqueng led a large group of people to the gate of Xinhe County.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the city had already experienced abandoning the city and escaping last time. Seeing the large number of Jinsui troops, they opened the city gate again and fled.
The cavalry team led by Xu Dalong and others were already well prepared. This time, none of the Japanese and puppet troops who escaped from the city slipped through the net, and all were wiped out.
Headquarters.
According to the intelligence provided by the underground party, the headquarters has learned that the main force of the Japanese garrison 32nd Division, with the cooperation of the 7th Puppet Brigade and the Japanese and puppet troops in the six counties around Mawu Mountain, launched a siege against Xu Dalong's headquarters.
The chief of staff said worriedly: "Xu Dalong and the others only have 500 people. The total number of troops dispatched by the Japanese and puppet troops this time is at least 15,000. There is such a disparity in the strength of the two sides. I really feel sorry for Xu Dalong and the others."
The boss didn't seem that worried. He said: "The last time the Japanese and puppet troops besieged Xu Dalong, they sent out a lot of troops. In the end, Xu Dalong and the others still won the battle. I think this time, Xu Dalong and the others will still have something to do."
The division commander said: "My boss and I have the same feeling. I believe that Xu Dalong and the others will be able to defeat the Japanese and puppet troops' encirclement and suppression. But I am a little curious and don't know what tactics they will use this time."
In fact, Xu Dalong and the others are now able to directly communicate with the headquarters via radio. These three chiefs did not send a telegram to Xu Dalong. It is not that the three chiefs do not care about Xu Dalong and others, but because as senior generals, they all have rich experience.
Practical experience.
They currently do not understand the actual situation faced by Xu Dalong and others, so they will not actively interfere with their combat operations.
Of course, there is one exception, and that is when Xu Dalong takes the initiative to request guidance from the headquarters. Since Xu Dalong and the others did not send a telegram, the leaders will not interfere with his military command.
However, this does not prevent the leader from studying tactics to break the enemy's encirclement and suppression.
The three leaders conducted deductions on the map and came to a common conclusion.
That evening, representative of the Eighth Route Army, Wang, who was stationed in the World War II District Chief's Department, sent a telegram to the headquarters.
After reading it, the three leaders couldn't help laughing.
The head of the headquarters said: "The so-called heroes think alike, but I didn't expect that little guy Xu Dalong actually thought the same as the three of us, haha, hahaha."
