The Japanese army finally arrived. If the previous defeats of the Japanese army were due to underestimating the enemy, then this time the Japanese army will still suffer a disastrous defeat because of underestimating the enemy.
The commander of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army knew that there were no large groups of anti-Japanese armed forces in this area. According to the reports he received, most of the anti-Japanese armed forces were prisoners of war and laborers. Therefore, he believed that the previous failures were due to too few troops. , caused by too many laborers and prisoners of war.
He is now leading the main force of the independent mixed second brigade over. He believes that he can easily eliminate these rabble with little military literacy. Therefore, he never dreamed that this rabble has such superb tactics. How dare they set up an ambush far away from Shanyang County to ambush such a large Japanese force.
Therefore, when the Japanese army marched along the road, they were not prepared at all. Their machine guns and artillery were carried on horseback, and the cannons pulled by cars did not even take off their coats. They marched along the road in a mighty manner, as if they were on a trip, even though they saw the complex terrain of Yandang Pass, they still didn't care.
After the previous battles, the officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps were all very calm, as if they were veterans who had been in the army for many years. They were now full of confidence of victory. When they saw the Japanese and puppet troops swaggering into the ambush circle without any defense, they were all excited and ready to fight.
Xu Dalong saw that the Japanese army had entered the ambush circle and gave the order to attack.
Monk Wei personally took the detonator and pressed it hard.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of explosives hidden on the road exploded violently, and the entire mountains shook violently. After the fire flashed, a thick smoke instantly rose up and filled the entire valley.
The anti-Japanese armed forces ambushing in the mountains immediately fired fiercely at the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain. The miners pushed the stones piled on the mountain down the mountain. Countless stones rolled and rushed towards the road and rushed into the thick smoke.
Xu Dalong knew that he could not leave time for the Japanese army to react. The Japanese army had rich combat experience. Once they were given time to counterattack, the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas who lacked training would not be their opponents.
So after a minute of firepower attack and pushing down all the rocks on the mountain, Xu Dalong immediately issued the order to charge.
The officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps held sharp bayonets, shovels and pickaxes and rushed down shouting.
Xu Dalong also personally led his men to the front. As he rushed, he kept shooting, knocking down the enemy's machine gunners and officers who were stubbornly resisting.
The Japanese army encountered a violent explosion and most of them were wiped out on the spot. The surviving Japanese soldiers were also stunned by the bombing. Before they could react, rocks fell from the sky, breaking their bones and muscles, and breaking their heads in the snow. When they calmed down and prepared to organize a counterattack, the guerrillas The officers and soldiers of the Corps had already rushed to the road. The Japanese army had no time to organize effective resistance, so they could only fight on their own and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the anti-Japanese armed forces.
Tens of thousands of people and horses were fighting together in the valley, shouting and screaming.
Xu Dalong personally led the officers and soldiers of a special operations unit to bravely charge into the enemy group. In front of him, the Japanese and puppet troops were no match at all. The place Xu Dalong and his special operations team passed by was like a snowy alley, full of corpses of Japanese and puppet troops.
Xu Dalong fought hard while looking for the location of the Japanese brigade commander. The battlefield was so chaotic that Xu Dalong couldn't find the location of the Japanese army headquarters for a while, so he stopped charging at the Japanese army and climbed towards a small hill on the hillside.
The Japanese army is very experienced in combat. They fight hard while seizing advantageous terrain. Just as Xu Dalong climbed up the hill, seven or eight Japanese soldiers also climbed up, and the two sides immediately started fighting desperately on the top of the hill.
There were only four team members who followed Xu Dalong and rushed up the hillside, while the Japanese army had nine people. However, Xu Dalong and others were not afraid and rushed forward to face the Japanese.
When the two Japanese soldiers saw Xu Dalong rushing over, they cooperated with each other and stabbed Xu Dalong in front of him.
Xu Dalong kept his feet on his feet, raised his bayonet, and deflected the bayonet of a Japanese soldier. The knife stabbed into his chest. Another Japanese soldier stabbed Xu Dalong in the waist. Xu Dalong twisted his waist. The bayonet grazed his body.
Xu Dalong had no time to pull out the bayonet from the body of the Japanese soldier he had stabbed before. He simply let go of the rifle in his hand, stepped forward, and punched another soldier in the face.
The guy screamed, raised his hands and fell down.
When a soldier saw how powerful Xu Dalong was, he stabbed him in the chest while he was still on his feet.
Xu Dalong didn't have time to dodge, he reached out and grabbed the barrel of his rifle, and pulled hard. The Japanese soldier couldn't resist Xu Dalong's power. His hands hurt, and the rifle was already out of his hand.
Xu Dalong took advantage of the situation and swung his rifle and hit him on the head with the butt of the rifle, killing him.
The four team members following Xu Dalong have also fought with the Japanese army. After Xu Dalong solved the enemy in front of him, he went to help other guerrillas and soon wiped out all the Japanese soldiers on the mountain.
Xu Dalong was condescending,
Observe the situation on the battlefield and find the location of the Japanese brigade commander.
Soon after, he saw the Japanese command post. He saw a large group of Japanese officers and soldiers covering the brigade commander and fighting with the guerrilla officers and soldiers.
Xu Dalong immediately raised his sniper rifle, aimed at the head of the Japanese brigade commander, and shot him. The Japanese brigade commander was killed immediately.
In order to create chaos and boost the morale of the anti-Japanese armed forces, Xu Dalong immediately shouted loudly. He shouted: "Brothers, the Japanese brigade commander is dead, and the Japanese are finished."
Then he shouted in Japanese: "No, the brigade commander has been killed in action."
The special forces team members who were following him understood what Xu Dalong meant, so they also shouted together.
When the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party heard that the Japanese brigade leader had died, their morale was greatly boosted.
When the Japanese soldiers heard that the brigade leader was dead, they all felt a little panicked, and their morale was greatly affected.
Originally, the officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps had a great advantage. When such a situation occurred, their morale became stronger and their offensive became more fierce.
The Japanese army itself was at a disadvantage and their morale was affected, so their situation became even more passive. Xu Dalong and several of his special forces members were condescending. They kept firing cold shots at the fighting Japanese and puppet troops, killing the Japanese commanders one by one.
The Japanese army without a command became even more chaotic, and the situation on the battlefield was more conducive to the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces.
The advantages of the anti-Japanese armed forces continued to expand, and slowly it became a situation where many people besieged a Japanese soldier, and eventually the Japanese and puppet troops were completely annihilated.
This brutal fighting lasted for a full hour. The officers and soldiers of the Guerrilla Corps paid a price of more than 1,300 people and annihilated more than 5,500 Japanese and puppet troops, achieving the biggest victory since the establishment of the Guerrilla Corps.
The officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps were all extremely excited and burst into cheers.
Since joining the guerrilla corps, the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army and the Zhongyang Army have fought vigorously in every battle. Every one of them was extremely excited and cheered desperately.
In this way, a group of unarmed prisoners of war and laborers who were tortured to the point of being transformed into human beings were trained into a powerful anti-Japanese force in just a few days. At this moment, they were full of momentum and dared to defy everything. An invading enemy.
After the victory at Yandang Pass, the guerrilla army returned to Shanyang County and continued training in Shanyang County.
During the training of the troops, the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade led by Ma Zhenyu launched a fierce attack on the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops with Shanyang County as the center, wiping out many small groups of Japanese and puppet troops and destroying the basic Japanese and puppet organizations. , mobilize the masses to build base areas.
Now that things had happened, Xu Dalong finally felt at ease, so he reported the rescue of prisoners of war and the subsequent series of battles to his superiors.
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
After reading the telegram sent by Xu Dalong, the commander happily said: "Xu Dalong is amazing." After saying that, he went to the headquarters in person to report to the bosses.
After listening to the report, the boss was very happy and said: "This little guy Xu Dalong is really capable. He not only rescued all the prisoners of war, but also ate tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops, and raised an army of tens of thousands of people. Anti-Japanese armed forces. Such cadres are exactly what we want."
The chief of staff suggested: "Now that the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps has just been established, it is better to leave Xu Dalong there temporarily and bring this team out completely."
The boss agreed with the chief of staff's opinion and said: "Then let Xu Dalong stay there temporarily and carve out a base there."
After a week of training, the army's organization was more complete. Xu Dalong decided to take the initiative to attack the Japanese and puppet troops before the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops came to attack.
At a whirlwind speed, with Shanyang County as the center, the guerrilla army launched a fierce attack on the surrounding areas. In one week, they captured four county towns in succession, swept through the vast countryside of five counties, and annihilated more than 3,000 people. The Japanese and puppet troops seized a large amount of weapons, equipment and supplies, and initially established an anti-Japanese base area.
On this day, Sun Desheng was ordered to lead the cavalry brigade to Shanyang County. His task was to escort the prisoners of war from the Jinsui Army and the Zhongyang Army back to their original units.
The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army and the Zhongyang Army have been fighting side by side with the officers and soldiers of the Guerrilla Corps these days, and have formed a deep friendship. Although they have to say goodbye to the Guerrilla Corps for the sake of their future, everyone is somewhat reluctant to part with it. At the farewell party held by the guerrilla corps, many officers and soldiers shed tears, and some grassroots officers and soldiers insisted on staying.
The division chief of staff of the Zhongyang Army and the regiment commander of the Jinsui Army did not stop these soldiers. They always felt that they should do something for the guerrilla corps. In the end, they said goodbye to Xu Dalong and others and returned to their respective units.
After Sun Desheng completed the task of escorting prisoners of war from the Zhongyang Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army, he once again led the main force of the cavalry brigade to Shanyang County and was temporarily incorporated into the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps.
Without the troops of the Zhongyang Army and the Jinsui Army, the Guerrilla Corps became an exclusively underground party anti-Japanese force. According to the orders of its superiors, it was reorganized and was still known as the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps. It had jurisdiction over the First, Second and Third Army. , four guerrilla detachments and cavalry detachments. After the corps was established, the recently recruited recruits were incorporated into the army. The guerrilla corps has a total strength of 13,400 people, all of whom have weapons.
After the reorganization of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps, they continued to capture cities and territories and expand the Anti-Japanese base areas.
The vigorous development of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps caused great panic among the Japanese and puppet troops. They began to mobilize troops and prepare to launch an attack on the Daqingshan anti-Japanese guerrillas.
In order to train the troops and enhance their combat effectiveness, Xu Dalong decided to take the lead in attacking the Japanese and puppet troops before the heavy troops of the Japanese and puppet troops were assembled.
The most valuable occupation target in this area is Mine 13. Mine 13 is one of the most important coal bases of the Japanese and puppets. Destroying Mine 13 can deal a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppets' plan to plunder strategic materials from the country and have a huge impact. It even affects the domestic economic development of island countries. In these coal mines, the Japanese army did not have enough troops for defense, but they also had important supplies, which could provide the guerrillas with a large amount of weapons, ammunition, living supplies and various funds.
Of course, Xu Dalong couldn't let go of such a good target, so he led the main force of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps back to the mining area, and in just two days, he knocked down all the coal mines here.
This offensive campaign yielded huge gains, liberating more than 100,000 workers, seizing more than 4,000 guns, as well as a large amount of living supplies and funds.
Xu Dalong believed that the terrain of the mining area was favorable, so he simply placed the core of the guerrilla army's base area in the mining area, preparing to use the favorable terrain here to repel the overall attack of the Japanese and puppet troops.
The guerrilla army captured the mining area and destroyed the important coal base of the Japanese army, which had a huge impact. It not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi, but the impact of this incident even caused a huge shock in the island country.
The Japanese base camp severely reprimanded the First Army stationed in Shanxi and asked them to retake the mining area and resume production as soon as possible.
Under tremendous pressure, Yoshio Shinozuka decided to dispatch heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps.
The guerrillas captured the mining area, and the World War II District Governor's Department and the underground party's anti-Japanese armed headquarters also attached great importance to it. They sent a telegram to Xu Dalong, asking them to continue to occupy the mining area and cut off the coal supply to the Japanese invaders. They told Xu Dalong that whether it was the Guo Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army or the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party, they would fully cooperate with the combat operations of the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps.
