Li Yan saw that the arrangement of troops was almost done, so he no longer focused on it. He first reached out and took out his pocket watch to check the time. He felt that there should have been movement in the Japanese troops, so he turned back and said to Jiang Zhen:
"Brigadier Jiang, the time is almost up. I am going to rush back to Xishan County to organize the battle. I will also convey the signal to the brothers in the first and second regiments that the attack signal will be sent to the southwest area of Xishan after I lead the team.
The signal gun was fired. After the battle began, we first faced the Xishan Railway Central Road.
The second unit of the section opened fire to bomb the Xishan Railway, and then my unit launched the first attack, driving the Japanese soldiers to the location of the first regiment. When my unit completely left the southwest of Xishan and approached the north exit of Xiangma Mountain, it would be
Launching the second signal flare represents the final general attack, so don’t forget it!”
"Don't worry, I will lead the first group this time, and leave the second group to Qin Mo, you can't go wrong!" Jiang Zhen said firmly. Li Yan saw that Jiang Zhen had decided to lead the group himself, so he didn't worry about it anymore.
What, but quickly turned around and left the combat conference room, leaving
They left the base area and rushed towards Xishan County. After Li Yan arrived at Xishan County, Jiang Zhen and Qin Mo had already followed Li Yan's plan and led two groups of troops out of the West Shandong base area, towards the northwest section of the Xishan Railway and
Walk towards the middle section of Xishan Railway.
Li Yan went up to the wall of Xishan County and saw that Qin Mo and Jiang Zhen's team had already set off. He hurriedly returned to Liu Guangyao to briefly explain the action plan, and then integrated the entire reinforcement group, leaving
More than 500 brothers, including Heilong, were responsible for the defense of the county. The rest were all pulled out of the south gate of Xishan County by Li Yan and accelerated along the south avenue of Xishan County.
When the team came to the south of Xishan County, Li Yan turned the team leader again and pushed towards the southwest section of Xishan. Because he was concerned about the mines on Xishan Southwest Road, Li Yan did not go along the road, but moved the team leader again.
Turning northwest, we followed the woods along the road to the southwest section of the Xishan Railway near the north exit of Xiangma Mountain, and stopped. Two minutes later, Qin Mo's second artillery unit and Jiang Zhen's first unit had also arrived.
designated location.
Seeing that the time had come, Li Yan suddenly pulled out the signal gun from his waist, raised the muzzle to the sky, and pulled the trigger. A signal bomb shot into the sky with the sound of the gun, emitting a dazzling red light.
Qin Mo, who was facing the middle section of the Xishan Railway, immediately stood up when he saw this, stretched his right thumb flat in front of the scrapped train covering the central section of the Xishan Railway, measured the distance, and then moved his steps and slowly retreated to the gun.
Behind the seat, he shouted loudly:
"The first battalion, target the middle section of the Xishan Railway, a distance of 4,000 meters, twenty-five to the right, load one round! The second battalion, target the middle section of the Xishan Railway, a distance of 4,050 meters, load one round! The third battalion, target the Xishan Railway
Middle section, four thousand meters away, load one shot!" After Qin Mo confirmed that all gun positions had been loaded according to the order, he shouted loudly: "Let go!"
As soon as Qin Mo finished speaking, the ten artillery placed on the spot made a loud noise at the same time, and ten shells came out of the barrel. After a brief silence, the shells fell one after another on the central section of the Xishan Railway. Several people
just
The Japanese engineers who were clearing mines had no time to dodge, and were directly blasted to pieces by a shell. The huge impact continued to spread to the surroundings, throwing the few Japanese soldiers on the east side away, and slapped them hard on the surrounding mountain walls.
superior.
Upon seeing this, the remaining Japanese soldiers dispersed and prepared to avoid the artillery fire. However, as soon as they came up with this idea, they heard a burst of killing shouts coming from the southwest of Xishan. When they looked closely, they saw Li Yanzheng.
With the reinforced group behind them, they rushed towards them. At this time, the Japanese soldiers realized that their decision to disperse and avoid the artillery fire was wrong, but it was already too late.
Just when these Japs were about to change tactics, Li Yan had already rushed forward with a reinforcement group. Seeing that the Japs were not ready to counterattack, Li Yan took advantage of this opportunity and led the team to annihilate the Japs troops first.
The first two rows of Japanese soldiers in the rear wanted to fire back at Li Yan's troops and cover the retreat of other companions. However, because Li Yan's firepower was too strong, the Japanese soldiers' cover and retreat ended in failure.
Ended in failure.
Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were unable to fight back, they immediately turned around and ran towards the north of Xishan. When Li Yan saw that the Japanese soldiers had taken the bait, he raised his right hand and swung forward vigorously, speeding up and chasing in the direction in which the Japanese soldiers were fleeing.
Go over and wait until the whole branch
When the reinforced regiment troops passed through the middle section of the Xishan Railway, Li Yan raised the signal gun in his hand again, pointed at the sky and fired a second flare. When Jiang Zhen saw that the signal for the general attack had appeared, he immediately led his troops and rushed forward, preparing to
The final encirclement and suppression began.
At the same time, Qin Mo, who was next to the artillery position, was not idle. Because he was worried that the remaining Japanese troops would jump over the wall under the encirclement of Jiang Zhen and Li Yan and turn around to attack the southern part of Xishan, Qin Mo sent 400 Eighth Route Army soldiers
The soldiers stayed in place and were responsible for defending the artillery positions, while Qin took care of the rest.
Mo personally led the team, sighted the direction of attack, and rushed towards the location of the Japanese troops. Under the rapid siege of Li Yan and other three parties, the Japanese troops of less than a thousand people were quickly depleted. Half an hour later,
There is no longer a single living Japanese soldier to be seen around the Xishan Railway.
Seeing that the battle was over, Qin Mo led the team back to the location of the second artillery unit. Along with the troops, he pushed the ten artillery beside him back to the West Shandong base area before Jiang Zhen and Li Yan. Jiang Zhen
Seeing that Qin Mo had brought the troops back, he temporarily gathered Li Yan's reinforced regiment and his own troops together, preparing to return to the West Shandong base along the Xishan Middle Road.
But just when Jiang Zhen was about to give the order to return, Li Yan suddenly stopped in place as if something suddenly occurred to him. When Jiang Zhen turned around and saw that Li Yan had no intention of following him back, he ordered the troops to stop marching.
, then slowly approached Li Yan, reached out and patted Li Yan on the shoulder and asked: "Li Yan, if you don't return with the team, what are you doing standing here?"
Li Yan did not answer Jiang Zhen immediately, but continued to stand there and think. After a while, Li Yan raised his head again and replied: "Commander Jiang, I am going to go to the Xishan Nanqiao base area to talk to them about the Xishan Railway.
Son, I just simply destroyed Xishan twice in a row.
Railway, but it did not cause any serious damage. In this way, as long as these devils are still here, they will definitely try to take advantage of the Xishan Railway. So this time I want to ask the Eighth Route Army troops at the Xishan South Bridge to help me completely destroy this railway.
Stop thinking about the Japanese troops in Xiangma Mountain."
