…
What kind of experience was it like to lead a large number of Japanese troops by the nose and let the little devils follow behind and eat ashes?
The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion will tell you two words - comfortable.
Facing the Japanese army's mopping up from the county town and the front, the troops were mobilized to encircle them.
The commander of the fourth battalion, Han Feng, immediately ordered the fourth battalion to use the company as a combat unit, divide it into multiple directions, and use the terrain to fight guerrillas in the mountainous areas to contain the Japanese army.
The Fourth Battalion was originally three mountain companies and was the first Eighth Route Army unit to enter Zhongtiao Mountain.
Zhang Min, former commander of the mountain company of the New First Regiment, and Du Zhongcheng, commander of the mountain company of the new second regiment, are commanders with extremely rich experience in mountain combat commanding.
It is completely possible to act alone after dividing the troops and act independently.
This is also the most powerful place of the Eighth Route Army.
Even the commanders at the grassroots level have considerable command experience.
Coupled with the full assistance and cooperation of the soldiers, the team's cohesion and tacit understanding.
Not to mention a company, even a platoon, a squad, or even two soldiers or one soldier can fight alone.
Persist in fighting the enemy to the death.
Facing the Japanese encirclement, Han Feng led the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion and the First Company to temporarily lurk in a ravine.
After the Japanese army opened the encirclement net and surrounded them, they directly selected an edge point of the net.
With the powerful firepower at hand, it was easy to break through.
Not to be outdone, several other mountain companies immediately divided into multiple directions from other directions in accordance with the agreement with Han Feng, and easily broke through the Japanese encirclement.
Japanese forward brigade headquarters.
After learning that the rear encirclement and suppression campaign had failed, the old Japanese soldier Uchida Nobu was also a little anxious.
He also counted on the rear to quickly eliminate the Eighth Route Army that had sneak-attacked the transport troops, and then turned around and continued to seek combat with the main force of the Fourth Independent Regiment.
The Fourth Independent Regiment was wiped out on the north bank of the Yellow River!
After learning that all the Eighth Route Army troops in the encirclement broke out.
Nobuya Uchida immediately adjusted his deployment, preparing to ensure transportation to the rear first and continue to focus on dealing with the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
But how could Han Feng do what this old devil wanted?
Not long after he led a company of soldiers to easily break out of the Japanese encirclement.
Han Feng actually led another company of soldiers into the Japanese encirclement from another direction.
Then fight out again, fight in again, fight out again...
In Han Feng's words: "Let's do Changshan Zhao Zilong today and kill him seven times in and seven out."
This move made the old devil Uchida Shinya's nose almost crooked with anger.
This is Chi "Luoluo"'s provocation!
The Japanese army, which was originally preparing to reinforce the mopping up troops and stabilize the transportation line on the other side, vowed to cut Han Feng and his party into pieces amid the anger of the Japanese officers.
This time, not only were there no reinforcements for the forward mopping up troops.
The Japanese Army General Command issued another transfer order.
Let the forward sweep troops deploy troops to the rear to encircle and suppress Han Feng and his party.
The original battle situation was divided into two parts spatially:
Part of it is the confrontation between the Japanese forward mopping up troops and the Fourth Independent Regiment.
The other part was behind the Japanese mopping up troops. Han Feng led the fourth battalion to deal with the Japanese troops who were hunting all over the mountains and plains.
In fact, to be precise, there should be another battlefield.
That was the county seat in the rear area of the Japanese army.
Duan Peng quietly sneaked into Ji County with his commando team, using the front counter-mopping up and the ambush of Japanese transport troops as cover.
In a very short period of time, using a well-thought-out plan, the Japanese warehouses and arsenals were successfully destroyed.
They also blew up the Japanese military power supply station and communication station in Ji County, including the train station.
The whole Ji County is in a state of turmoil.
When the Japanese commander was furious, he ordered the blockade of Ji County and launched a city-wide manhunt.
Duan Peng had already left Ji County with the elusive commandos and rushed to Yuan County, the nearby main county of the Japanese army.
The specific course of action was planned early in the morning.
First, they attacked Ji County.
Then, from the long-predetermined evacuation route, with the help of comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry, they successfully left the city.
He immediately mounted dozens of war horses prepared early in the morning and rushed to Yuanxian County.
Because it's fast enough.
While Ji County was searching the city for commandos, Yuan County was not particularly wary of it.
The next battle can be said to be a repeat of the same tactics.
As usual, he took the lead in blowing up the Japanese arsenal in Yuan County.
Then, time bombs were secretly planted in Japanese warehouses, communication stations, power stations, train stations, etc., causing big explosions.
A series of battles plunged Ji County and Yuan County into chaos.
The Japanese's communication system and power supply system were all paralyzed.
The Uchida brigade operating at the front could not even contact the Ji County and Yuan County headquarters by phone.
Communication can only be obtained through radio stations.
The special forces team was like magic soldiers descended from heaven, catching the Japanese and puppet security forces in Ji County and Yuan County off guard.
The Japanese officers at the Japanese command headquarters in the rear also realized the power of this small sneak attack force.
The Japanese army quickly contacted other counties and towns, including some important towns, to strengthen vigilance and beware of sneak attacks by small groups of the Eighth Route Army.
…
At this time, the temporary headquarters of the Fourth Independent Regiment.
The forward reconnaissance troops have reported back some changes in the Japanese mopping up troops.
When analyzing the battle situation, Wang Huaibao said: "The Japanese forward mopping up troops have sent two waves of reinforcements to the rear.
It can be seen that the fourth camp is making a lot of noise.
It's time for us to take action. "
"How is the situation in the first, second and third battalions now?"
Seeing Wang Huaibao's inquiry, the communications soldier immediately replied: "Report to the regimental commander, just ten minutes ago, the first, second and third battalions had sent communications respectively, indicating that they had arrived at the designated combat position and were waiting for orders from the headquarters."
"good!"
Wang Huaibao responded heavily, with a look of excitement on his face.
"No need to wait any longer."
"This time we just let the little devils care about the head and not the tail, so both ends will be busy."
"Immediately notify all battalions to start operations in accordance with the original combat plan."
"Remember, our combat mission is not to eliminate the Japanese troops who are mopping up, but to destroy the Japanese troops' settlement villages and to break the Japanese army's vicious plan to use the settlements to encroach on our guerrilla areas."
"yes!"
The order from the regiment headquarters was quickly transmitted to the first, second and third battalion headquarters through a small radio, and the three battalion commanders immediately issued combat orders.
The three battalions changed from passive to active in three directions.
He actually took the initiative to attack the steadily advancing Japanese mopping up troops.
After the battle broke out, the Japanese were confused again!
In the past, when large-scale raids were carried out on the Eighth Route Army's base areas, the Eighth Route Army never dared to engage in head-on confrontation. They could only block the enemy along the way, engage in guerrilla warfare, and carry out sneak attacks and harassment.
Nothing like this.
How dare you take the initiative to launch an attack?
"Do these damn Tuba Lu think that if some troops have detoured back to the rear of our army, they can attack from both front and back and eat up all our troops?"
Uchida Shinya's words were full of sarcasm.
As for the Japanese combat staff, he thought: "Your Excellency, Captain, the main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched an active attack. I think it is to coordinate the Eighth Route Army's activities in the rear of our army."
"They must be afraid that we will take the lead in wiping out the roundabout Eighth Route Army behind them."
"円西!" Uchida Nobu also nodded.
"Immediately notify the forward troops to guard the main passes, block the Eighth Route Army's advance route, and buy time for the rear to eliminate the Eighth Route Army's roundabout troops!"
Under the deliberate guidance of the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment, the location for the confrontation between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army was placed in the wild.
The four regiments displayed powerful firepower and excellent equipment.
For a time, the Japanese forward mopping up troops were retreating steadily.
However, the Japanese army quickly took advantage of the terrain to build fortifications, established a firm foothold, and blocked the advancement of the Fourth Regiment.
The two sides thus temporarily fell into a stalemate.
The Japanese troops are waiting.
Waiting for the encircling troops in the rear to completely wipe out Han Feng's fourth battalion, they then return to support the forward troops and wipe out the main force of the Fourth Independent Regiment in one fell swoop.
Wait for the county town in the rear to be stabilized and eliminate the small combat force that sneaked into the county town.
The commander of the Fourth Independent Regiment, Wang Huaibao, was also waiting.
He was waiting to use the main forces of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions to contain and attract the attention of the Japanese army, thereby covering the local troops and militia forces, as well as some of the main combat forces that were quietly transferred, to attack the Japanese army in the villages.
He believed in his fourth battalion commander.
He was waiting for Han Feng to lead the soldiers of the fourth battalion to completely cause chaos in the rear of the Japanese army.
He was still waiting for news to come that the commandos had set the Japanese backyard on fire.
The two sides are engaged in a desperate struggle.
2 p.m.
The intermittent sheep attacks launched by the Fourth Independent Regiment have also calmed down.
The Japanese forward sweep troops used the terrain as a defense.
The two sides gradually ceased fire from the original stalemate, and seemed to be waiting for their own opportunity to win.
The little devils who were hiding behind the fortifications even thought of taking out the cans they had prepared long ago from their backpacks to make lunch.
Uchida Shinya was eating a box of canned food that was mixed with a lot of ingredients and no longer tasted like beef.
First, he took a small taste with a spoon, frowned, and then put it into his mouth as if he was swallowing a date.
...Han Feng was also hiding in a hidden mountain forest with a company of soldiers, enjoying the military cans seized from the Japanese transport troops.
A mouthful of beef was put into his mouth, and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang Min almost couldn't hold back and spit it out.
"Damn it, is this canned beef? There's no way in hell that it tastes like beef. It's clearly just a can of mixed meat!"
Zhang Min couldn't help but cursed, "This stupid little devil really knows how to trick people, even his own soldiers follow him!
The canned beef we seized before was much more delicious than this. "
Han Feng smiled and said: "What you eat is a canned food, but what you see are the facts hidden behind the canned food."
"What fact?"
“The fact that the Japs’ resource supply is insufficient and military supplies are gradually in short supply.
Think about it, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese had sufficient logistical supplies and domestic supplies for the war were abundant.
So at that time, the canned beef that the little devils ate was basically pure beef, without any adulterated meat. "
"But now why do you guys use canned beef like this to deceive your own army?"
"Isn't it just because the resources in the country are scarce and the military supplies are insufficient that the Japanese cut corners?"
When all the cadres heard this, they were all stunned.
Zhang Min was even more impressed and said: "You old Han, you can still make so many senses when eating canned food.
Just for this reason, I am not as good as you! "
Hahaha--
After joking for a while, Han Feng slightly raised his voice and shouted: "Comrades, let's hurry up and eat. After eating, we will continue to fight the Japanese."
"As long as we finish lunch fast enough, the Japanese will have to fight us on an empty stomach."
"This is a battle. If we take advantage of every bit of it, we will form a huge advantage. If we win, we will not be able to escape!"
…
2:25 p.m.
The Japanese communications corps rushed over in a panic and reported to Uchida Shinya:
"Your Excellency, Captain, the situation is not good. These cunning Tubalu took advantage of the confrontation with our army's forward troops to sneak attack on a large number of villages that our army has recently developed."
"A considerable number of maintenance associations were eliminated, and a large number of Imperial Association troops and pro-Japanese elements were captured by the Eighth Route Army..."
Then another communications troop arrived:
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Eighth Route Army has attacked our army's Bingtun Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 5, and looted a large amount of military rations stored in the Bingtun warehouse.
We also filled in the trenches used by our army to blockade the village and destroyed some nearby gun towers and strongholds.
Finally... they burned down our Bingtun Village! "
"idiot!"
Uchida Shinya was furious, and he realized that he had been fooled.
These cunning Tubal Roads build plank roads openly and secretly visit Chencang.
They used the confrontation between the main force in front of them, the sneak attack by the troops in the rear, and the commotion in the county in the rear as cover.
But the actual target from beginning to end turned out to be the Bingtun Village of the Japanese Empire.
The Japanese military command immediately made adjustments, ordering troops from all sides to immediately send reinforcements to and defend Bingtun villages.
...For the convenience of management, the Japanese army organized all the villagers gathered from each village into a large merged village.
And use one, two, three, four... as the number of each colony.
A large number of villagers who were originally dispersed in villages and people were gathered into a local village.
The Japanese wanted to completely cut off the mass base of the Eighth Route Army.
Because the Japanese army had long discovered that as long as the vast Chinese countryside existed, these nasty Tubal Road activities in the occupied areas could never be completely eliminated.
No one knew that those Chinese villagers were quite honest.
Will he suddenly become a member of Tuba Road?
It's just that the Japanese army gathered all the villagers in the originally scattered villages together.
Bingtun was established.
If you expect the unscrupulous little devil to ensure the livelihood of the villagers, then you are completely stupid.
The land in Zhongtiao Mountain is barren and the villages are scattered. The people work hard and can only barely maintain their survival.
When the Japanese built a merger settlement, they forcibly moved the villagers together, and directly plundered the food and materials hoarded by the villagers in the original villages.
The Japanese would not give the villagers even half a grain of food to help them.
In Bingtun, one can imagine the miserable life of the villagers.
In order to completely eliminate contact between the common people and the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army implemented a militarized closed management of Bingtun.
Deep trenches were dug around the village.
There are patrols monitoring the area 24 hours a day.
Artillery towers were built at the entrance and end of the village, and Japanese soldiers armed with machine guns were watching eagerly. Anyone who left the camp without permission would be shot mercilessly by the Japanese army.
The Japanese planned some farmland for the villagers to cultivate.
Of course, the crops grown and the final harvest have nothing to do with the people.
In essence, the people of Bingtun are simply puppets and slaves of the Japanese invaders...
