Chapter 3 The enemy's countermeasure plan is in vain 1
Seeing that the Jaap Railway at the southernmost end of the Xishan Railway had been blown up, Li Yan immediately ended the rest of the troops and led the team to the east section of the Xishan Railway. When the front row of the team was less than two meters away from the temporary base of Xishan South Bridge,
At 100 meters, Li Yan fired the signal gun in his hand. At this time, he was on the Xishan Railway.
The two Eighth Route Army soldiers waiting in the middle of the road saw that Li Yan had given the order to take action, so they tightened their grip on the explosive fuses in their hands, pulled back hard, and quickly moved to the side before the fuses had burned to the detonator itself.
He ran into the woods and hid behind two trees outside the blast radius of the detonator.
At the same time, the detonators under the railway sleepers exploded simultaneously in an instant. The powerful impact split the entire railway track into parts and threw them into the air. Finally, they fell to the ground with green smoke. Li Yan saw this section
The railway had been successfully destroyed, so he felt relieved and continued to move forward with the team behind him. However, Li Yan was not in a hurry to go to the middle section of the Xishan Railway to check the damage. He just led the team to slowly move forward to the Xishan South Bridge.
He stopped in front of the Eighth Route Army troops.
Li Yan looked back and saw that there were no Japs following him, so he temporarily pulled his team into the second brigade commander's large unit, temporarily gathered with it, and at the same time waved his hand and gave the order to rest in place.
When the entire team began to sit down and rest, Li Yan took steps towards the second brigade commander who was not far away from him, but after only taking two steps, he found that the second brigade commander was already heading towards him.
When Li Yan saw this, he did not move anymore. Instead, he stood still and waited for the arrival of the second brigade commander. When the second brigade commander was less than five meters away from him, Li Yan leaned forward and prepared to move the second brigade commander just now.
I told him what happened on the Xishan Railway, but I didn’t think about it.
The second brigade commander was the first to say: "I just heard an explosion from Xiangma Mountain, so I looked back and found that it was already burning... Look at the smoke. If I guessed correctly, you
They probably took away the Japanese oil depot, right?"
Li Yan smiled: "Actually, it's not really an oil depot. It's just some tank trucks that haven't arrived and been transported. The rest are just a bunch of train skins, which have no value..." Li Yan smiled.
At this point, Yan changed the subject and pointed in the direction of Xiangma Mountain and continued:
"However, no matter what kind of Japs oil depot or oil tank, the Japs troops in Xiangmashan can no longer use the railway to infiltrate our Xishan ministries. If they want to attack Xishan again, they probably can only take the north exit of Xiangmashan, but
They have to pass through the Xishan Nanqiao base area. In this way, these Japanese soldiers may be destroyed by your troops before they penetrate into Xishan. Therefore, I judge that they will not dare to attack Xishan easily in the short term.
Big abacus.”
After hearing this, the second brigade commander silently thought about it for a while, then quickly raised his head and said: "Well done... Now your mission has been completed, and these Japanese soldiers have been suppressed by us."
Don't move at Xiangma Mountain. Later I will lead a large force back to the South Bridge of Xishan Mountain and tightly hold the only way for these Japanese soldiers to pass through. When the time is right, I will encircle and suppress them..." II
The brigade commander paused when he said this, and then patted Li Yan on the shoulder:
"We are leading the team back, take care." After saying that, he came to the main force, separated Li Yan's reinforcement team from the team, brought it to Li Yan, waved to Li Yan at the same time, and then
Turn around and prepare to lead the team to leave
When Li Yan saw that the second brigade commander was about to leave, he hurriedly caught up with him. He reached out and grabbed the second brigade commander's right arm, asking him to wait for a while. The second brigade commander looked back and stopped when he saw it was Li Yan.
footsteps, then turned around and asked: "Captain Li, what's wrong?"
"Second Brigade Commander, I suggest that after you bring your troops back to the Xishan Nanqiao base area, you'd better move the location of your base area southward." After hearing this, the Second Brigade Commander frowned, expressing his displeasure.
Upon seeing this, Li Yan took the second brigade commander to the top of a nearby small mound. Seeing that the line of sight was just right, Li Yan extended his right index finger to the boundary between the south bridge of Xishan Mountain and the north of Xiangma Mountain.
He pointed, and then asked: "Second Brigade Commander, did you find anything?"
The second brigade commander followed the direction of Li Yan's finger and observed it carefully for a while, and then slowly replied: "There is no obstruction around our Xishan South Bridge, and the road is bumpy and difficult to navigate, but the north exit of Xiangma Mountain not far from us is
The road is extremely smooth, and there are trees around it, which is conducive to concealment..." the second brigade commander said
He immediately guessed what Li Yan meant. In order to confirm the accuracy of his intuition, the second brigade commander turned his head to face Li Yan and asked: "Li Yan, don't you want me to move the large army forward?"
Let's go to the north exit of Xiangma Mountain?" Seeing Li Yan nodding in confirmation, the second brigade commander hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he would not follow Li Yan's idea.
Seeing this, Li Yan moved his body forward, put his hand on the second brigade commander's left shoulder, then slowly squatted down, stretched out his fingers and drew two lines on the sandy ground, then raised his head and explained:
"Second Brigade Commander, if this Japanese army wants to invade Xishan from Xiangma Mountain,
, there are two roads that must be taken. One is the short-term Xishan Railway, but it is now completely scrapped..." Li Yan said, drawing a cross on the left line with his right index finger, and then
He added a few more strokes to the line on the right, and then continued to explain:
"And this second road is the middle road at the north exit of Xiangma Mountain. This road is the last way for the Japanese troops to break through Xiangma Mountain. Therefore, I judge that after you lead your troops back to Xishan South Bridge, the number of times you will be harassed by the Japanese will also increase.
The number of attacks has increased. The location of the Xishan Nanqiao base area has fewer obstacles. Once attacked, it is difficult to find a bunker. In this way, the damage caused will be very small.
It will be greatly increased. It will be much better if the base area is moved slightly southward and placed at the north exit of Xiangma Mountain, because there are dense forests there, which can be used for concealment and guerrillas, and we can also scout the movements of the Japanese troops in Xiangma Mountain and provide us with
The troops in the rear will provide an early warning." After Li Yan said these words, he stood up and looked at the second brigade commander, waiting for his final decision.
The second brigade commander thought about it carefully for a while, and felt that what Li Yan said was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement. Then he came to the team and led the team back to the south bridge of Xishan Mountain in the direction of the place. Seeing that nothing happened, Li Yan turned around and left.
