The land of Sanjin is surrounded by mountains. Now the little devils occupy the main plains and big cities, while our army can only move between the mountains.
This time when the independent regiment moved to northwestern Shanxi, they also traveled all the way through mountains and ridges, specifically walking on mountain roads, so as to avoid the eyes of the little devils.
Now Yang Yuanshan led three companies of the secret service battalion to the smoking village, also running on the rugged mountain road.
However, the three 400-pound Type 92 infantry guns in the three companies are relatively light and can be dragged by a mule, but under such road conditions, the speed is still not fast.
At this time, the advantage of each of the three companies equipped with a 60 mortar is shown.
Yang Yuanshan immediately ordered:
"The infantry artillery squad walks slowly behind, and the mortars follow first!"
The gunners and ammunition handlers of the three infantry guns quickly agreed and took the initiative to move out of the way to let the comrades behind them pass first.
A group of more than 900 people sprinted on the mountain road for less than ten minutes when they heard the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer. At this time, they heard the sound of horse hooves again, and Wei Dayong returned with three soldiers.
"The battalion commander is a dissatisfied little Jaap who formed a large group to besiege the village in front. I roughly counted it, and estimated that there were six to seven hundred people. I don't know the number. I don't know how to speak like a Jaap, so I didn't catch a tongue.
The village is full of gray military uniforms. It seems that they are our main force, relying on houses and walls to resist. "
Wei Dayong reported loudly before he had time to dismount.
"A large team? Not bad!
The little devil saw that our journey was too boring, so he came to give us some fun. "
Yang Yuanshan chuckled.
Hearing his words, Han Yang, He Yunfu and others were immediately speechless.
A large group of little devils can't easily swallow even two or three regiments of our army.
But now, Yang Yuanshan actually said that the little devil was here to have fun.
This is really a bit outrageous.
Since He Yunfu returned to Yang Yuanshan's command, he had not fought with him yet, so he couldn't help but suggested uneasily:
"Battal Commander, when I was in the New Regiment, Captain Ding would only choose to attack a squadron of imps when he encountered them, but he would only avoid them if they were in a brigade.
Now, should we just create momentum, scare the little devils, and help the friendly forces in the village break out? "
"Old He, what is a brigade?
Our special agent battalion has eaten up too many squads of little devils.
Just watch it! "
Yang Yuanshan said disdainfully.
Then he said to Wei Dayong:
"Monk, hurry up and go to the back and ask Wang Gensheng to bring a mountain cannon. There are at least two infantry cannons in one brigade of Japs. Now we have three infantry cannons, and we can hardly bully them."
"yes!"
Wei Dayong immediately rode away.
Yang Yuanshan then said to the three company commanders Han Yang, He Yunfu and Li Dahe:
"My goal is to capture this whole group of little devils without letting anyone slip through the net!
So Han Yang, you should immediately take a company of people to bypass this low mountain and block the escape route of the little devil. "
"yes!"
Han Yang agreed and immediately led a company of people to climb a short mountain nearby.
"Second Company, Third Company, when we arrived at the outer perimeter of the Hou Jap's position later, we immediately seized the commanding heights, set up heavy machine guns, and suppressed the Jap's firepower.
When the mountain artillery and infantry artillery come up and fire a few rounds to knock out their artillery and heavy machine guns, victory will be in our hands. Do you understand? "
"clear!"
"Then act! Quick!"
Yang Yuanshan took the lead and took the lead in running wildly.
Soon, they arrived at a location less than one kilometer outside the Jaap's position.
At this time, Yang Yuanshan had already seen through the telescope that in the village, those fighting with the Japs were indeed the main force of our army. They were all wearing neat gray military uniforms. The sound of firearms was mainly composed of 38 big guns, and occasionally There are sounds of other firearms such as those made in Hanyang, Shui Lianzhu, Zhongquan, and old slides.
It seems that they arrived in time. The combat effectiveness of this unit in the village is still intact, and the continuous gunfire proves their strength.
As for the little devil, as Wei Dayong reported, it was indeed an unsatisfied brigade, about six to seven hundred people, all of whom were very capable. At this moment, they were using heavy machine guns, rifles, and grenade launchers to attack the Eighth Route Army in the village. shooting.
And Yang Yuanshan saw keenly that the arrival of the spy battalion seemed to have been discovered by the Little Japs' observation post. The Little Japs' offensive had slowed down, and there was about a squadron of men turning around and preparing to respond.
He immediately understood that the commander of this group of little devils was extraordinary!
Now that it has been discovered, there is no need for Yang Yuanshan to hide it. When he saw a hillside not far ahead, he immediately ordered:
"Quick, get to that hillside and prepare to attack!"
The two companies of the secret service battalion, with more than 600 people, immediately rushed to the hillside. As soon as they reached the hillside, they immediately set up heavy machine guns and were ready to fire.
…
At this time, the Eighth Route Commander in the village was also keenly aware of the changes in the Japs' offensive, and suddenly said suspiciously:
"Hey, why did this little devil slow down his attack?"
This man is about thirty years old, not tall, but very strong, with a somewhat honest face.
If Li Yunlong saw his face, he would definitely laugh.
Aren't these his old comrades Kong Jie and Kong Erlunzi?
It turned out that it was Kong Jie's new second regiment who was surrounded by the little devils at the moment.
Like Li Yunlong's independent regiment, they were ordered to go to northwest Shanxi and happened to camp in this village. Unexpectedly, there were traitors in the village reporting to the Japs. When they woke up, they were surrounded by the Japs.
Hearing Kong Jie's question, the political commissar Dou Guangjie next to him observed carefully with the telescope in his hand and said excitedly:
“It looks like we have reinforcements coming.
Lao Kong, look at the hillside on the right. Are there any comrades in gray military uniforms? "
"Reinforcements?
Is there anyone in this barren mountain who comes out to help me?
What luck!
Wouldn't it be a local army? That won't help anything. "
Kong Jie was naturally very excited when he heard that there were reinforcements.
Now his new second regiment only has one 60-meter mortar, and it is a bit unbearable to face a large group of Japs.
He had just been planning to hold out until nightfall, and then took advantage of the darkness to disperse and break out.
"Definitely not local troops, look at their neat military uniforms.
Hey, is that a heavy machine gun?
Lao Kong, I saw a heavy machine gun! "
Dou Guangjie shouted excitedly.
"Okay, we are saved, it seems we don't need to break out!
Look at their heavy machine guns, good guys, there are at least a dozen of them! "
Kong Jie also saw the heavy machine guns set up by the secret service camp on the hillside, and immediately shouted excitedly.
To break out of the encirclement by spreading out, to put it nicely, it means breaking out of the encirclement, but to put it worse, it means...
When we get together afterwards, there are often only 30 to 40 percent of the people left, which is considered pretty good.
"Lao Kong, not only are there heavy machine guns, I also saw mortars! Several of them!
Good guy, what kind of group is this? It’s really good! "
Dou Guangjie clicked his tongue and praised.
Kong Jie couldn't hear the word "Pao". As soon as he heard the word "Pao", he muttered:
"If the division commander hadn't robbed my two Type 92 infantry cannons, would I be afraid of these little devils now?
Damn it, it's all Li Yunlong's fault for not knowing how to hide his cannon. "
Hearing this, Dou Guangjie couldn't help laughing and said:
"Lao Kong, it's been so long since the Battle of Lijiapo, and you're still thinking about those two cannons!"
…
