Ma Liang shouted loudly and disturbed Company Commander Luo Fugui, who was lecturing his subordinates. He came to the window with ugly eyes: "Didn't you see that he was lecturing? Why are you howling?"
"It's going to be dark soon. The company commander asked your team to assemble in the south of the village immediately. Why, didn't Xu Xiao inform you? Uh... when did you learn to lecture?" Ma Liang didn't believe it.
Just as he was talking, Xu Xiao ran over: "Platoon leader, quickly gather the team and go to the grain field."
In the direction Xu Xiao came from, soldiers, led by Wang Peng, were running rapidly to the south.
"Hey, little one, why didn't you inform the platoon leader first?"
"If they live far away, let me know first. If you live close to the village entrance, platoon leader, let me know later..."
"Don't you know how to play the brass horn you hang on your waist?"
"This is an enemy-occupied area and the target cannot be exposed?"
"Everyone stand up! Gather at the south square." Xiong turned to order the more than 100 people sitting behind him in the Lin family ancestral hall.
After a while, Ma Liang grabbed a familiar old soldier from the Ninth Company who ran out of the ancestral hall and asked: "The mule talks about lecturing. When did he learn to lecturing? What did he say?"
"Well... the techniques for catching chickens, three methods of roasting chickens, and the preparation of beggar's chickens were also discussed, and then the notes on how to deal with bandits were discussed..."
"You didn't lie to me?"
"Hehe, of course, how to keep the machine gun fire going, and how to protect yourself when charging."
"Uh... did he really say that? Hey, he really taught me everything..."
"Hey, you're done or not, let go quickly." Wang Xiaosan was finally promoted to platoon leader. During this reorganization, although he really wanted to stay under Ma Liang, he had no generals under his command, and all the people who came were veterans of the security army. Youtiao Newcomer, he was really taken away by a mule authorized by Hu Yi to select people.
The reason is that Wang Xiaosan is senior, and of course, he has to be the leader of the cooking squad. The point is, Hu Yi asked Luo Fugui, who was a bandit, to lead this group of newcomers who were mostly bandits, and no one was gossiping.
Ma Liang is unwilling. Li Xiang can't beat him with three sticks, so it's strange that he can manage it well.
Ma Liang continued to ask Wang Xiaosan: "You held a meeting all afternoon, and that's all you talked about? What a mess!"
Wang Xiaosan looked around: "Haha, I didn't talk about this for long..."
"Then you also talked about the discipline of the Eighth Route Army?"
"No."
"Did you do ideological work?"
"No way, the political commissar and the company commander are in a hurry to contact the regiment headquarters, so they have no time to deal with us."
"Hey, don't be pretentious and tell me honestly, what else did the mule say?"
"Didn't I tell you just now?"
"I asked about other times!"
"Other time? Sleeping of course."
Ma Liang was so confused that he dared these guys to go to the ancestral hall just to hide from the political commissar and sleep!
This is in enemy-occupied territory, and a mission is about to be carried out, so we should do some ideological education first.
Tian Xiaosan ran away, and Ma Liang ran around the village again, said a few words to Zhan who was standing guard at the entrance of the village, and quickly ran to the south square.
Wang Peng's company has been assembled. Luo Fugui was yelling at his scolding opponent. Li Xiang, the former platoon deputy, led others to help Luo Fugui's men organize the team.
The regiment headquarters has been contacted. The political commissar, company commander, Wang Peng and Xiao Bing are standing under the eaves beside the millstone, whispering something. The political commissar has a serious face, maybe because the regiment commander's order is a bit complicated, and the company commander next to him is still there. Pull the map and keep marking on it.
Ma Liang quickly ran to Hu Yi's side.
Hu Yi glanced at Ma Liang and said nothing.
"Do they really want to attack Qixian County? This is a Japanese railway transportation line. There must be heavy Japanese defenses. Why would they choose this tough nut? Isn't it better to attack Qixian County?" The political commissar actually basically thought of the reason.
"Since it is the arrangement of the division, and the Thirty-fifth Division is attacking now, it must be the 20th Army near Kaifeng that has requested our help from the First War Zone to cut off the Japanese logistics line and reduce their pressure." Hu Yi could tell at a glance. , with the strength of the Eighth Route Army, it is simply impossible to capture Qixian without heavy artillery.
"You are right. Just as Lao Lu and I analyzed, the Twentieth Army cannot defeat the Japanese. Then we asked the First Theater District to put pressure on the headquarters and ask us to carry out raids behind the attacking Thirty-fifth Division. Otherwise, the Army There is no need for the division to attack Qixian County where heavy troops have been assembled."
"Obviously, the military division wanted to capture an important town along the railway, but they lacked strength, so they asked for help from surrounding teams."
The political commissar smiled and said: "That's okay. The job assigned to us is quite easy. We are here to block the Japanese and puppet troops who are reinforcing from the north."
Wang Peng scratched his head: "We dug the road and blew up the bridge over the river and that's it. With so many of us, isn't it a bit wasteful?"
, originally said that they were going to call for reinforcements, but until now, not even a single sign of reinforcements was seen.
"In this case, we have to stay the same to cope with all changes. Now we add Wang Peng, a full battalion, with many people and guns. Ma Liang, you send a platoon and ask the sentries to ride around...ten miles away, each Let the sentry come back in half an hour."
"Li Xiang!" Hu Yi shouted to the busy crowd in the square.
"We're here." Li Xiang and Luo Fugui, who were arranging their team, hurried over.
"Immediately arrange for people to work with Ma Liang to cut off all telephone lines within a ten-mile radius."
"Mule, tonight, you take people to seize the gun tower in the east of the village." Hu Yi ordered.
"Okay, but I need Li Xiang to cooperate and give me the mortar." Luo Fugui felt itchy. This time he could finally try that big guy.
"Can."
...
When it was getting dark, an explosion finally came from the direction of the county town, twenty miles south of the station.
The battle to attack the county seat has finally begun!
Listening to the dense gunshots that followed, followed by a burst of explosions, a dozen or so people standing on the roof of a landlord's house at the entrance of the village did not speak, looking at the twinkling sky to the south. daze.
There was a table on the roof, and the anxious political commissar drank countless cups of water from the teapot in front of him. Anyway, he went to the hut more than ten times.
Time passed by, and political commissar Hu Yi and Wang Peng were discussing how to attack the county town. The political commissar had participated in the uprising during the Red Army period and had attacked the county town countless times. However, he was still a soldier at that time.
Among all the people present, only Hu Yi had fought countless times before and was considered to be rich in experience. Under the instructions of the political commissar, he began to explain.
"For this kind of critical battle, it is best to arrange the internal response in advance. As long as the city gate can be blown open and the troops are sufficient, they can directly attack the city and carry out street fighting. Grenades will open the way, machine guns cover, and infantry charges. According to the predetermined target sequence, first of all, we must capture Get down to the Japanese arsenal, and at the same time surround the Japanese barracks. Depending on the importance of the target, attack the security army barracks, gendarmerie, police station, and reconnaissance team that have enemy resistance..."
"Then, other places are not important?" Wang Peng asked.
Hu Yi thought for a moment: "Not really, but there is a place that must be taken down first."
"Where?"
"Hospital! There will be casualties in any battle. If we capture the hospital first, we can at least ensure that the injured can receive timely treatment!"
Wang Peng stared wide-eyed: "I understand, I have been to the city before, but I always feel that I have no sense of direction and feel that everything is the same. We have spent too little time in the city and have no idea at all. Company Commander Hu knows better .”
"Combat experience is difficult to improve just by relying on what others say. If you have the opportunity, go to the city more and pay attention to the terrain. Based on the pre-war targets, such as Japanese ammunition depots, military camps, gendarmerie, police stations, reconnaissance teams, grain depots, and government "For fighting in the mountains or on the plains, rifles are best. When attacking Japanese soldiers in the city, a large part of the battles are street fighting, so firepower is very important. Automatic firearms are the best. For example, the submachine gun made in Taiyuan can suppress fire."
"I think the shell gun is also good, right?" Ma Liang asked.
"The recoil is too great. If you fire continuously and load three magazines, try again to see if you can hold the handle of the gun! In addition, the rifle has a low aiming point and a short range. It is not suitable for front-line combat at all, and is more suitable for policing in the rear. Security mission."
During the explanation process, people kept coming to report the situation.
Wang Peng arranged for people to dig trenches on the road beside the Qihe River, and the explosive packs were ready!
The road has been dug up.
Ma Liang sent soldiers sent to the north to report back.
There was no sign of any reinforcements from the Japanese security forces on the highway.
The reconnaissance of the eastern artillery tower was completed, and the telephone lines had been cut long ago. Just waiting for Hu Yi's order, Li Xiang led the artillery team to attack.
No Japanese reinforcements were found, which was a bit surprising.
In this case, either the troops attacking the county town encountered difficulties in attacking the city and the Japanese in the city felt that there was no need for reinforcements, or they had discovered the Eighth Route Army's intentions early and hid the people in the city in advance.
One can imagine how difficult it would be to attack the county town in an eight-pronged attack without even two heavy artillery pieces.
Attacking battles are different from the encounters, chases, and sparrow battles that the Eighth Route Army is good at. Don't even think about all kinds of sneaky tricks such as outflanking and ambush mine tunnels.
It's purely about terrain, strength, who has more firepower and more awesome equipment.
As far as the Japanese are concerned, do you think I can't mobilize my troops if I cut my phone line?
Demo, I still have a radio station!
There was an explosion from the west. Needless to say, the friendly forces in the military division had already blown up the railway bridge and the main highway bridge.
Hu Yi's idea is that the small stone bridge he is currently guarding is not a big problem whether to blow it up or not. If a small force comes, let them cross the river on the bridge. A trench has been dug on the opposite side of the bridge. If there is a blockade, one shot If you don’t let go, where will the harvest come from?
What's more, a platoon of people was released on the north bank of the river.
Paint the county city wall.
The Japanese colonel, who had arrived from Meixian for reinforcements a long time ago, had a sinister smile on his face. He had been hiding in the city for two days, and Tubal Road outside the city finally officially attacked!
The information obtained by the Special High School was really accurate, and Tubal Road actually carried out a suicide attack.
We have raided the mountains countless times, and these dirty roads have reappeared. This time, let me see where you are going.
This was all in his eyes. If there weren't really a lot of people outside, he might have ordered his subordinate Sakazai to charge before dawn.
