On the mountainside next to Hougou Village, Yang Yuanshan's temporary forward headquarters is located.
When Yang Yuanshan heard the fierce sound of artillery and gunfire coming from the north of the town, he knew that the battle had officially begun.
He immediately ordered the correspondent beside him:
"Go tell Han Yang and ask him to send someone over within an hour to report on the battle situation."
"yes!"
At this time, Yang Yuanshan missed the walkie-talkies used by the army before time travel.
With that thing, battlefield command is so convenient!
In addition to sending people to Han Yang, Yang Yuanshan also sent people to report to He Yunfu, Li Dahe and Wei Dayong respectively, ordering them to send people to report quickly once the war started.
After arranging these things, Yang Yuanshan found a stone and sat down against it, pretending to close his eyes and rest, but in fact he was evaluating the battle situation through his own system rewards.
"Kill the little Japanese infantry*1, and you will be rewarded with 1 Sanba Daigai* and 100 rounds of Arisaka 6.5mm bullets."
"Kill the little Japanese corps leader*1, and you will be rewarded with a grenade*1 and 80 grenades."
…
After a while, Yang Yuanshan knew that Han Yang had killed 23 Japanese soldiers, as well as 3 corps commanders and 1 sergeant.
Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but frown and thought to himself: It has only been less than half an hour since the war started, and Han Yang has killed so many little devils. If you give him another half day, the more than 200 little devils in Qixia Town will be reimbursed. Pretty much the same.
When the time comes, will the little Japanese squadron leader send a farewell telegram, then charge forward, and give up Qixia Town to him?
How can that work?
Thinking of this, he suddenly panicked.
You kid can't be such a weakling!
Such a weakling has no energy!
You have to stand up!
What he wants is not just Qixia Town!
Alas, the team's combat effectiveness is too strong, which is not always a good thing!
Feeling panicked, he immediately opened his eyes and prepared to order the correspondent to tell Han Yang to hit him gently, and don't beat the little devil to pieces with three strikes.
Just at this time, the correspondent he had just sent to the first company came back, so he kept these words in his heart and prepared to listen to the other party's report.
"Battal Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander Han said that they have used infantry artillery to knock down the Japs' turrets and are currently dealing with the bunker."
"Did their infantry charge?"
"No, Deputy Battalion Commander Han has summoned four to five hundred militiamen. They are currently digging towards the entrance of the town through soil work. The tunnel has been dug less than twenty meters so far."
As soon as he heard this, Yang Yuanshan understood what Han Yang was thinking.
In order to put pressure on the little devils, not attack too fast, and reduce the casualties of the soldiers, digging trenches is obviously a very good way.
He also understood that he shouldn't need to remind Han Yang to hit him gently, as this kid completely understood what he meant.
Feeling relieved, Yang Yuanshan asked again:
"What are the casualties so far for the company?"
"Four people were killed and seven were seriously injured."
There were 11 casualties and 23 Japs were killed. This ratio was not bad and Yang Yuanshan was very satisfied.
"Okay! You go down and rest."
He waved the correspondent down.
…
At this time, Zhou Xianpei came over and asked:
"Battal Commander, how are you doing with Deputy Battalion Commander Han?"
"Everything went well, now it depends on the little devil's response.
This is what war is like. We have designed everything, but whether we can achieve the goal in the end depends on whether the little devil cooperates. "
Zhou Xianpei nodded and then suggested:
"Battal Commander, although Xipan Town is currently occupied by Chu Yunfei, shouldn't we remind Han Yang that it's best to send a platoon of people to monitor the mountain road from Xipan Town to Qixia Town?
Even one class will do! "
"Are you worried about friction?"
Yang Yuanshan understood what Zhou Xianpei meant.
"Yes. This kind of thing has not happened in the past two years.
If the people of the First Company were attacked from behind while attacking Qixia Town, the price would be too heavy. "
Zhou Xianpei looked sad.
Yang Yuanshan nodded and immediately called a correspondent and asked him to make a trip.
Although he believed that Chu Yunfei himself would not do such a thing, the same could not be said for his subordinates such as Fang Ligong and Qian Bojun, so it was better to be careful.
…
While Yang Yuanshan and Zhou Xianpei were discussing Chu Yunfei, Chu Yunfei was also listening to Fang Ligong's report on the spy camp in Xipan Town.
"Regiment leader, the Third Battalion stationed at Baishi Village called to report two days ago, saying that a group of Eighth Route Army troops came to the Dawan Village area to the south of us."
"Eighth Route?
Is it Li Yunlong’s independent group? "
"Yes. After the Third Battalion sent people to conduct reconnaissance, they reported that the other party's designation was the Independent Regiment Special Agent Battalion."
"Special agent camp? Could it be that Yang Yuanshan guy's special agent company has been upgraded?
Good guy, their tentacles are quite long.
After attacking Heyuan County, they came to Xipan Town. What do they want to do? "
Chu Yunfei frowned.
Although he has some affection and admiration for Li Yunlong, more importantly, he is still afraid!
In his opinion, this guy who doesn't play by the rules is very dangerous to his 358th regiment!
Fang Ligong was just about to say: What can we do? It's just to grab territory.
However, he was interrupted by a combat staff officer.
"Reporting to the regimental commander and chief of staff, the third battalion called and said that there was gunfire from the direction of Qixia Town today, and it was suspected that someone was exchanging fire with the Japs.
After they sent people to conduct reconnaissance, they discovered that the Eighth Route Army was attacking Qixia Town. "
"Good guy, give me the phone, I want to talk to Zheng Guangcai!"
Chu Yunfei immediately walked to the phone.
Zheng Guangcai was his third battalion commander.
…
Soon, Chu Yunfei finished talking to Zheng Guangcai on the phone, and then said to Fang Ligong who was following closely:
"Brother Ligong, the people in this independent group really have Li Yunlong's brave behavior!
Now they are attacking Qixia Town with less than a thousand people.
I don’t know whether I should praise them for their courage to kill the enemy and not be afraid of dangers, or it’s a pity that they overestimate their capabilities! "
"Tuanzuo, there is a squadron of Japs and a battalion of Locust Alliance troops in Qixia Town. In addition, there are artillery towers and bunkers at the entrance of the town. Without artillery, it would be really difficult to deal with them.
There are less than 1,000 people on Tubal Road to dare to attack Qixia Town, which is really a bit audacious.
Moreover, the Japs and the Locust Alliance Army who retreated from our Xipan Town also retreated into Qixia Town, which strengthened the power of Qixia Town! "
Fang Ligong also looked surprised.
The 358th Regiment walked all the way from southeastern Shanxi to northwest Shanxi. When passing by Qixia Town, of course they scouted the enemy situation there.
"Haha, brother Ligong, this is the style of an independent group.
They never seem to care about the strength of the enemy, and often launch attacks without hesitation, regardless of whether they can win or whether they will be sacrificed! "
Chu Yunfei said, admiring Li Yunlong even more.
For the army, what they need most is often not weapons and equipment, but two words - "dare to fight"!
Obviously, he knew very well that his 358 regiment's "dare to fight" theory was far inferior to Li Yunlong's independent regiment.
“It’s so incomprehensible!
However, if the members of the independent group are attacking Qixia Town, what should we do? "
Fang Ligong didn't have much interest in the Independent Regiment. He only cared about the interests of the 358th Regiment.
"We? Of course we want to help out!
The little Japs were squatting next to us, which made me sleepless and had to ask the Third Battalion to guard against them.
Now that the Independent Group is going to drive them away, of course I, Chu Yunfei, can't just sit idly by! "
Chu Yunfei said matter-of-factly.
Fang Ligong was speechless after hearing that the group members were using the same rhetoric of "helping others" again.
However, as the chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, he still asked dutifully:
"Tuanzu, how can I help?
Do we want to send troops and follow the Eighth Route Army to attack Qixia Town?
That's hard to explain to Chief Yan! "
"of course not.
We just need to be ready to send troops. Once Tubal Road is over, it will be our turn to occupy Qixia Town. "
Chu Yunfei looked enigmatic.
"Tanzuo, what do you mean?
Do you think Tubal Road will be completely wiped out because of Qixia Town? "
Fang Ligong was stunned and thought to himself: What the hell are you talking about?
Isn’t there just more than one squadron of Erjizi and more than one battalion of the Locust Alliance Army in Qixia Town?
Even if Tubalu's team of less than a thousand people couldn't take the town, it wouldn't be a total annihilation, right?
If they can't defeat it, won't they retreat?
Did he crash to death in this town?
Is your brain flooded?
Chu Yunfei did not answer directly, but explained slowly:
"I know the fighting power of the Independent Regiment. After paying a certain price, they should be able to capture Qixia Town.
But by then, the kid's reinforcements should have arrived.
In my estimation, it will be at least a large group of reinforcements, and there may even be an air force to help. By then, this Eighth Route Army of less than a thousand people will definitely be annihilated in Qixia Town.
Of course, they should also be able to inflict heavy damage on the reinforcements of the Japs. At that time, if our 358 regiment rushes into Qixia Town like a tiger descending from the mountain and eliminates the remnants of the Japs, Qixia Town will naturally be in our hands. "
"I see. Tuanzu, you are waiting for the snipe and the clam to fight and the fisherman will profit!"
Fang Ligong understood what the other party meant, but he vaguely felt that Chu Yunfei's idea was too idealistic.
Even if Tubalu can't defeat the Japs reinforcements, can't they run away?
How could they fight to the death with them and inflict heavy casualties on the little Japanese reinforcements?
Qixia Town is surrounded by mountains. As long as they disperse and retreat, what can the little devils do to them?
But now seeing the excitement on Chu Yunfei's face, he would not pour cold water on Chu Yunfei.
"I can't say that. I still hope they can have fewer casualties. After all, they are our national defense forces!
Alas, if it weren't for the strict orders from the superior officers, I would have directly led the artillery battalion to help them blow up the Japs' fortifications and give them a helping hand. "
Chu Yunfei looked very regretful.
Fang Ligong couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this. Now they were quite far away from the territory controlled by the Jinsui Army. They really consumed a lot of artillery shells, and it was not as easy to replenish them as before!
After the two discussed it, Chu Yunfei immediately ordered the entire regiment to enter combat readiness and be ready to dispatch at any time.
At the same time, a large number of scouts were sent to Qixia Town to observe the fighting between the independent regiment and the little devils.
