A radio wave flew from Hedong across the mountains and rivers into the high mountains and ridges of Sichuan...
Another radio wave flew from central Shu to central China and was received by Zhou Weiguo's Ministry who was performing a special mission in the Dabie Mountains;
"Captain, the president is calling urgently, it's top secret!"
The operator handed the message to Zhou Weiguo and left. After reading it, Zhou Weiguo threw it into his mouth and swallowed it. A flush appeared on his face, which was caused by excitement, and disappeared after a few seconds.
"Zezhou! It's time for King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace to avenge the hundreds of thousands of wronged souls in Jinling City!"
Zhou Weiguo's heart was raging with war, and he wished he could immediately grow wings and fly to the Taihang Mountains.
This time Zhou Weiguo led a team to replace training with combat, and the overall effect was quite obvious. Most of the students in the first phase of the special training class withstood the test, especially Meng Jiaqi, Gao Xiaoling and others. The trip to the Taihang Mountains was regarded as a test for them. Final exam!
This time I went to the Taihang Mountains, unlike the last time I took a plane. I had to rely on my legs for hundreds of kilometers, and there were almost enemy war zones along the way. Too many people would easily expose me, but too few people would not achieve the effect. It must be small but An elite team is very particular about staffing...
An hour later, Zhou Weiguo led Wang Han and other 15 people to form a special operations team and headed straight for Zezhou. Among them were sniper Meng Jiaqi, communications expert Gao Xiaoling, blasting expert, etc. The sniper alone led 3 people, and the others were led by others. A deputy captain led the team back to Shuzhong.
Five days later, the security war in southeastern Shanxi began in Zezhou. The Japanese dispatched the 25th Division, the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade, the 2nd Brigade and the 5th Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, with a total strength of about 40,000;
Among them, there were as many as 30,000 Japanese soldiers, divided into nine groups, and they came directly to our base areas in southeastern Shanxi. It was called an anti-nine-line siege in history.
The Eighth Route Army base areas were fortified and cleared, leaving a small number of troops to carry out guerrilla warfare and cover mass transfers;
The main force jumped to the outside and launched a arduous anti-mopping battle with the Japanese using a combination of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare;
After the Japanese broke into the base area, they burned, killed, and looted, adopting the cruel three-guang policy, and burned every village to the ground;
Groups of people were rounded up and killed by the Japanese; entire villages were massacred;
Thousands of miles of fertile wilderness turned into no man's land. Troops fought bloody battles with the Japs until only one person was left. The soldiers and civilians in the base area suffered huge losses, and the Japs also paid a heavy price!
Chuxiong's Liuzhen base area was not included in the raids this time because it was too remote. Their target this time was the area where the headquarters was located. The purpose of the nine-way siege was to mobilize all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army so that they could reach them. Hidden purpose.
As the Japanese offensive unfolded, the 28th Regiment and the New Second Regiment were also transferred out. Only one battalion was left around Chenjiayu, and the strength was extremely empty;
Xiaowangzhuang, the temporary residence of the Second Battalion and Third Company of a certain regiment
Due to the large-scale Japanese raids, the main force of the regiment has jumped to fight on the outside. The mission of the third company is to persist in fighting guerrillas on the inside;
The people in Xiaowangzhuang have already evacuated to the mountains. The third company has been fighting for several days in order to cover the evacuation of the people. The team is very tired and in urgent need of rest.
The base area Hujiayu has been occupied by the Japanese, and the third company commander decided to rest for a day in Xiaohuangzhuang.
The reason why Xiaowangzhuang was chosen as the temporary residence was that Xiaowangzhuang had just been attacked by the Japanese. More than half of the houses were burned down and there were ruins everywhere. Resting here would not attract the attention of the Japanese;
The more dangerous the place, the safer it is!
After a period of development, the third company with only one platoon and two squads was now fully staffed;
Li Chenxi, the squad leader of the second squad, also rose to become the second platoon leader. In the Chinese army, it is easy for scholars to get ahead. As long as they survive a few battles, promotion is a matter of course.
Seven or eight months ago, Li Chenxi was a rookie who threw a grenade and forgot to pull the rope. Now he is a platoon leader with dozens of people under his command. His command ability has been certified in the second battalion.
Li Chenxi had a bright mind, lots of ideas for fighting, and good luck, so he won the trust of the third company commander, so the task of guarding at night was naturally given to their platoon.
The second platoon has 4 squads, each with 10 people. They are equipped with 2 crooked light machine guns and a grenade launcher. Each person has a 38-gauge or Zhongzheng rifle, and each person has dozens of rounds of bullets. It is considered well-equipped among the Eighth Route Army troops.
After receiving the mission, Li Chenxi summoned four squad leaders to discuss the night's security mission. Now there are Japs everywhere, and there is no room for carelessness;
"Comrades, the company's decision to hand over the task of night vigilance to our platoon shows a great deal of trust in us. This is equivalent to putting the safety of the entire company in our hands, and there is no room for any mistakes."
"I know that our comrades are also very tired, but no matter how tired we are, it is not as important as the safety of the entire company!"
"From eight o'clock in the evening to eight o'clock in the morning, a total of 12 hours, each shift lasts 3 hours. The machine guns must be hidden in the dark. There are 2 open sentries, 3 mobile sentries, and the others. Silent whistle, password: corn pancakes, reply: sweet noodle soup."
"In a moment, you squad leaders will follow me to select sentry posts and hiding spots for machine gun fire!"
War is the easiest way to train people. In less than a year, rookie Li Chenxi has grown into an excellent grassroots commander. If he came out of Lijiacun largely because of Zhao Paner, now he has only one goal in mind, to The stubborn Japanese were driven out of China.
The impression of Zhao Pan'er in his mind became increasingly blurred. This was actually quite normal. He and Zhao Pan'er barely exchanged a few words and didn't even bow to each other.
The reason why he came out to pursue Zhao Pan'er was more for the so-called face. It has been almost a year, and the shadow in his heart is not even as clear as Hu Jingwen's!
There was no way, Hu Jingwen had been wandering in front of him like a follower all day long, and the longer she hung around, the clearer her shadow became.
Hu Jingwen has also become a veteran and is now a soldier in Class 6 of the Second Platoon. The weapon in her hand is still the Zhongzheng rifle captured in the first battle;
The gun was shiny and shiny with oil she had maintained. The oil was rapeseed oil that she used to rub in from the cooking class. She used a bayonet to carve dense lines on the butt of the gun. Each line was a Japanese life, and there were already 19 lines on it. , she wanted to protect dozens of lives in their family.
She is not greedy either, one life for another!
In her opinion, it was already a big loss. Her mother had to pay at least a hundred Japanese in exchange.
Hu Jingwen is that kind of natural sniper. After a period of actual combat training, even Li Chenxi admired her for her marksmanship. The second squad leader will not waste her talent, so her task at night is to serve as a secret sentry. It's her choice.
This night is destined to be anything but peaceful!
