Over at Shuishen Mountain, Yang Yuanshan slept soundly.
After waking up, he found that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, so he quickly called Han Yang for questioning:
“Han Yang, how is the situation at the observation post?
Is there any movement of the Japs chasing soldiers? "
"Well, in the morning, the observation post in Heyuan County came back and reported that at dawn, reinforcements from a regiment of Little Japs entered Heyuan County.
However, they did not pursue him. They were currently driving the people in the county to repair the city wall. "
Han Yang's eyes were still bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not slept well.
——Yang Yuanshan throws a lot of things into him, can he sleep well?
"A team?
The little devil is very cautious!
If he only came to a large group, I would want to kill him and eat up his whole group. "
Yang Yuanshan looked regretful.
He really thought so. If only one group of Japs came, he would prepare to attack Heyuan County again tonight and kill hundreds of Japs, which would be considered a success.
Just take advantage of the collapsed city wall to rush into the city and save a lot of artillery shells.
It's a pity that the little devil didn't give him this chance.
As for a regiment, he would not dare to take action against them until his special agent battalion expanded to three to four thousand people.
——You can’t treat the little devil as a clay puppet!
“Batalion Commander, it’s just a regiment!
After we have digested the gains from taking the county seat this time, it is not impossible to strengthen the training of the soldiers and have a chance to compete with the little devils in the same team! "
Han Yang joked.
Of course, Yang Yuanshan knew that this guy was talking nice on purpose to make himself happy, so he rolled his eyes at him.
"Good boy, you are very brave!
Do you know that other regiments in our army must move quickly when encountering a brigade of imps? "
"Hey, isn't our battalion equipped well?
It was so damn enjoyable to bombard the little devil last night! "
Han Yang chuckled.
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Yang Yuanshan asked about serious matters:
"Isn't the kid's plane coming?"
"How is it possible not to come to nirvana?
Throughout the morning, four or five waves of reconnaissance planes came.
But I didn't let the soldiers show their heads, so they probably didn't notice us. "
"What direction are you coming from?"
"It's all west."
"Oh, it looks like they are the Japs Army Air Corps from Jinyang City.
Our little movement still didn't alert the little devils at the Northern Hebei Front. "
Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
If he had captured Shuiquan instead of Heyuan County, then the kid's Northern Hebei Front would probably have been alerted.
By then, it is estimated that the little Japanese planes from the east and west will come to conduct reconnaissance.
After listening to Han Yang's report on various aspects of the information, there was no danger at Shuishen Mountain for the time being, so Yang Yuanshan ordered him to rest first.
Then he called He Yunfu and asked him to take the warriors who had woken up and had nothing to do and start sorting the mountains of loot in the cave.
As soon as it gets dark, we have to start moving towards Lujiacun.
Although the little devil has not entered the mountain now, it will not be certain in two days when they have figured out the situation or have their troops in place.
Don't stay in this sacred water mountain for a long time. It's better to leave early.
…
While the soldiers of the special agent battalion were sorting the loot in the cave, on a mountain road thirty or forty miles away from them, there was a local force of two to three hundred people fully armed and rushing towards the little devil's stronghold on the north slope.
They are the Heyuan County brigade.
A brigade of little devils occupied the county seat. Their county brigade could only hide in the countryside and work hard to develop the team.
However, a few days ago, they received orders from their superiors, requiring them to attack the roads, railways, bridges, etc. of the Little Devils at all costs.
After discussing with the political commissar Fang Ding'an, the team leader Su Zhen immediately decided to blow up the railway near the stronghold on the northern slope of the Little Devil. The terrain here is narrow, and once blown up, the Little Devil's railway could be interrupted for a longer period of time.
It is precisely because of the dangerous terrain here that the little devils established a large-scale north slope stronghold here.
As soon as they reached the halfway point, a scout who had been sent out earlier hurried back to report:
"Captain, something happened!"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhen and Fang Ding'an felt a thump in their hearts.
Both of them thought: It can't be so unlucky, right? Did the little devils increase their troops?
Although they were dispatched today with the determination to complete the mission even if they sacrificed everything, Su Zhen did not want the entire county brigade to sacrifice themselves and still not be able to complete the mission!
He quickly asked:
"Xiaowuzi, what's wrong?"
"The North Slope stronghold is gone!"
Xiao Wuzi was covered in sweat and his face was full of shock.
"What? It's gone?
How could such a big stronghold of Little Devil disappear?
Have all the little devils been evacuated? "
Su Zhen and Fang Ding'an looked at each other.
For this combat mission, they discussed for two days and prepared a lot of explosives to blow up the little devil's railway.
Is it going to be in vain now?
"No...it's not a retreat, someone knocked down the stronghold.
When I went to conduct reconnaissance, I saw that the Japs' turret had been blown down, and all the Japs inside were dead. Dozens of them died!
Everyone was stripped naked and their bodies were thrown on the ground. It was so miserable! "
Xiaowuzi explained.
"What? Someone captured the North Slope stronghold?"
Su Zhen screamed.
The mountain village where they had previously hidden was not close to the North Slope stronghold, so they had not heard any movement at all.
Fang Ding'an had a bit of a smile on his face and said quickly:
"Old Su, I think this must have been done by our main force!
The hard days of the little devil are coming again! "
"Main force? Aren't all our main forces withdrawn?"
Su Zhen was puzzled.
"Lao Su, there is a small group of Japanese soldiers and a company of second Japanese soldiers in their northern slope stronghold.
If it weren't for the main force, who could win?
Especially in this stronghold, there are two gun towers and several heavy machine guns!
Even if we are, aren't we just going to send people to stop the little Japs coming out of the stronghold, and then blow up the railway and then withdraw? "
Fang Ding'an was very excited. Ever since the main force in northwestern Shanxi had withdrawn, he had been feeling empty and unsure.
Now seeing that this must be the main force coming back, he instantly felt confident again.
The main force has arrived, and local troops like them have something to rely on!
Although the Heyuan County brigade only has a team of two to three hundred people and does not have heavy machine guns or artillery, at least every soldier has a gun, but most of them are made in Hanyang and old sleeves.
Moreover, they also have two crooked-handled light machine guns, and each of them can shoot two or three rounds of bullets. They are considered the strongest among the local troops nearby.
Therefore, they dared to develop the idea of a railway near the North Slope stronghold.
"What you said, Lao Fang, makes sense."
Su Zhen nodded.
Seeing that the captain and the political commissar were going to have a long talk, the scout Xiao Wuzi couldn't wait any longer and said quickly:
"Captain, let's go to that stronghold quickly to pick up the things. Those who captured the stronghold didn't even clean up the battlefield!
You see, I picked up a pistol casually, but it was out of bullets. "
As he spoke, he took out a 90% new Southern Type 14 pistol from his arms.
When Su Zhen saw the gun, his eyes suddenly widened.
He grabbed it and exclaimed:
"What? There is such a good thing?
Bastard box?
Not broken? "
As he spoke, he loaded the pistol and fired into the sky.
The crisp sound of the firing pin impact proved that this was an intact pistol.
This was naturally when He Yunfu led his men to attack the Beipo stronghold. Due to the rush of time, the soldiers were too lazy to pick up the tattered results.
If Li Yunlong knew about it, he would probably have to call them prodigals again.
Although this bastard box stretches the crotch, it is still a gun after all!
It's better to assign missions to new recruits than to use them with bare hands, right?
Su Zhen couldn't help but marvel:
"You're so lucky, kid!"
Although this broken gun is not as good as the big eye box on his waist, it is still a 90% new pistol! In our team, you are the number one! "
In the county brigade, each person could barely have one rifle, but only he and the political commissar had pistols.
Now this little boy is considered the number one member of the team.
"Hey, captain, let's go quickly. Maybe we can pick up some other good things. I think the people who established the stronghold must have left in a hurry. Maybe they left a few rifles behind."
Xiao Wuzi said while reaching for the pistol back.
"Well! You kid, hurry up and lead the way!"
Su Zhen nodded.
Then he ordered:
"Comrades, hurry up, target the stronghold on the north slope, run and march!"
