Chapter 4 The enemy's countermeasure plan is in vain 2
As soon as Li Yan's reinforced regiment team returned to the county seat, the Eighth Route Army troops near Xishan Nanqiao began to take action. In less than three hours, the second brigade commander led the entire army to leave the Xishan Nanqiao base area and push southward.
, he stopped when he reached the north exit of Xiangmashan Middle Road, and then started driving
In less than three days since the construction of the new base area began, the Eighth Route Army troops in the Xishan Nanqiao base area completed the transfer plan and stationed themselves in the middle of the road leading to the South Avenue of Xishan County from the north of Xiangma Mountain in order to further
Tie up these Japanese soldiers and completely suppress them in Xiangma Mountain.
Half an hour later, a Japanese soldier responsible for reconnaissance around Xiangma Mountain discovered this scene, and was frightened by the large number of Eighth Route Army troops in front of him.
Below the hillside, an Eighth Route Army soldier who was standing guard outside the gate of the Xishan Nanqiao base area saw a gun suddenly grunting down on the hillside, and became curious.
He looked up and saw a Japanese soldier standing on the hillside. At this time, he didn't think too much. He picked up the rifle in his hand and aimed towards the hillside. When the crosshair was aimed at the Japanese soldier, he looked up.
, the Eighth Route Army soldier quickly pulled the trigger, and after a crisp gunshot, the Japanese soldier standing on the hillside swayed and fell to the foot of the mountain.
The second brigade commander who was in the combat conference room heard gunshots outside, and hurriedly ran outside and took out the telescope hanging on his chest to observe. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal, the second brigade commander came to the gate of the base area and faced
asked an Eighth Route Army soldier, and this
The soldier in front of the second brigade commander was the Eighth Route Army soldier who had just fired. When the Eighth Route Army soldier saw that the commander came out to ask questions in person, he did not hide it. Instead, he pointed at the corpse of a Japanese soldier not far away and told him what had just happened.
Convey everything to the second brigade commander.
The second brigade commander nodded slightly while listening. After the Eighth Route Army soldier finished explaining all the causes and consequences, the second brigade commander looked directly at the Eighth Route Army soldier and asked, "Did you only see this one Japanese scout just now?"
The Eighth Route Army soldier nodded, and the second brigade commander called over several Eighth Route Army soldiers and asked them to dispose of the Japanese soldier's body.
After this was done, the second brigade commander picked up his binoculars and looked carefully in the direction of the Japs stronghold on Xiangma Mountain Road, but found that there was no movement from the Japs troops at all. The second brigade commander felt that something was not quite right.
, he transferred the two regiments to the south gate of the Xishan Nanqiao base to prevent the Japanese from making a surprise attack. He quickly walked back to the combat conference room, came to the transmitter, and sent a telegram of what had just happened.
It was given to Li Yan in Xishan County.
And just as the second brigade commander finished typing the last code of the telegram with his right hand, two small black figures suddenly appeared in a small forest on the left side of the Xishan Nanqiao base area. After staying in place for a short time, they ducked out again.
Walking in the direction of the Jaap Middle Road stronghold in Xiangmashan, half an hour later, we were in
The Japanese Dazuo Yamaguchi at the stronghold of the Xiangma Mountain Middle Road received information from the Xishan Nanqiao base area and had already transferred large forces to penetrate into the northern part of the Xiangma Mountain. The secrecy and large number of the actions of the Eighth Route Army troops in the Xishan Nanqiao area made Yamaguchi at this time
I was surprised and felt a headache.
Seeing this scene, Yamaguchi wanted to ask for help from the other two Japanese troops in Xiangma Mountain, so that they could cooperate with his troops to launch a sneak attack on the Eighth Route Army in the Xishan South Bridge area that had just been stationed in Xiangma Mountain. However, just as Yamaguchi was about to start generating electricity,
When asking for assistance, another Japanese scout ran into his combat command room.
, conveyed to Yamaguchi the information that the Second Brigade Commander had deployed defenses at the Xishan Nanqiao base area. Because he was afraid that his rash actions would cause unnecessary losses, Yamaguchi gave up the idea, sat back on his chair, and looked for
There is another way to eliminate the hidden danger of the Eighth Route Army troops in the Nanqiao area of Xishan.
After thinking for a long time, Yamaguchi returned to the transmitter, typed his plan into a code, and sent it to the other two Japanese strongholds in the Thieves Mountain and the superior troops. At the same time, in Xishan County,
Li Yan has also analyzed this telegram from the Xishan Nanqiao base area. After reading it, Li Yan realized that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly walked out of the border area.
In the battle command room, he came to the observation hole on the south wall of Xishan County, raised the sniper rifle with its flat end and pointed it due south. At the same time, he adjusted the multiple of the sniper rifle sight to the maximum. After everything was ready, Li Yan gently turned his head to the right.
He put his right eye close to the sniper rifle scope and observed carefully, but until evening, Li Yan did not notice anything unusual about Xiangma Mountain.
In desperation, Li Yan had no choice but to return to the temporary combat conference room, go to the transmitter, and convey his findings to the Second Brigade Commander in Xiangma Mountain, asking him to stay alert and conduct uninterrupted secret investigations.
After sending this telegram, Li Yan came to the Black Dragon troops again.
He and Heilong explained the whole story, and then selected two smarter brothers and sent them to Xiangma Mountain to serve as the eyes of Xishan County. Then they returned to the Xishandong base area and worked hard to get from Jiang Zhen.
I borrowed five cannons and placed them in Xishan County.
After this series of arrangements were completed, Li Yan returned to the temporary combat conference room and waited for the intelligence coming from Xiangmashan. However, for three days in a row, the two scouts sent by Li Yan did not obtain any valuable intelligence.
Until ten days later, the Japanese troops
Only then did some clues of the response plan gradually emerge. It turned out that the Japanese soldiers in Xiangma Mountain had been secretly building artillery towers and bunkers in the past few days. Due to their clever use of the shelter between the hillsides and the woods, they had not been sent by Li Yan.
Found by two scouts.
After Li Yan learned this information, the Japanese artillery towers and bunkers on the side of Xiangma Mountain had been completed, and there was a tendency to continue to advance north. Li Yan knew without thinking that the Japanese should want to take advantage of the strong fortifications.
Little by little, he penetrated toward the location of the Eighth Route Army troops near Nanqiao of Xishan Mountain until they were eliminated or forced out of Xiangma Mountain. Thinking of this, Li Yan did not delay any further.
Instead, he quickly walked out of the door, greeted the brothers in the reinforcement group, pushed the five cannons borrowed from Jiang Zhen along the south gate of the county to the center of the south avenue of Xishan County, and adjusted the muzzles to Xiangma Mountain.
Direction, after doing this, Li Yan did not return to the county seat immediately. Instead, he temporarily stayed on the south avenue of the county seat with these cannons, mentally calculating the completion time of the Japanese fortifications.
