After Wang Xikui's sharpshooter class went out, it was indeed effective.
The scout reported that the little devil's movement speed had dropped visibly to the naked eye.
In addition, after Wei Dayong's guard company also mined the road from Shahukou to Hedi Village, the little devil only walked 20 miles west of Shahukou until dark.
There are still about 15 miles away from the battlefield in Hedi Village.
As soon as it got dark, Tian Wenshan's regiment of the Locust Alliance Army was determined to leave again. The little Japanese captain could only order the team to stop and camp, and prepare to leave after dawn.
Hearing the news reported by the scout, Yang Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief.
The soldiers of the secret service camp finally got a night's rest.
Zhao Li was asked to lead people to deliver hot white flour steamed buns and canned beef stewed with cabbage to the soldiers, but Yang Yuanshan didn't bother to eat it himself. He came to the grain drying field in Hougou Village.
Here, Zhou Xianpei is entertaining the militiamen and villagers who are helping them to have dinner, and is going to let them go back to their homes later.
Yang Yuanshan came to the scene and saw everyone gathered around the big iron pot stewing beef and cabbage. Everyone was eating with their mouths full of oil and smiles on their faces. He was immediately very satisfied.
These beefs were cans seized from the Jaap's armored train. Zhao Li originally wanted to keep them and eat them slowly, but he gave the order directly, which brought disaster to everything. He said that the soldiers and villagers were very tired and needed to be replenished.
Zhao Li couldn't resist him and had no choice but to agree, but he couldn't help but secretly curse Yang Yuanshan as a prodigal son.
There are so many cans, so save some and they will last you a long time!
How did he know Yang Yuanshan's purpose?
…
Arriving at the scene, Yang Yuanshan immediately thanked the militiamen and villagers, and then announced that each person would be given 10 kilograms of grain and three yuan of cash to thank them for their help.
Anyway, this time in Qixia Town, the spy camp seized a huge amount of food and various materials, and there was no shortage of them.
When the villagers and militiamen heard the good news, they were all so surprised that their eyes could fall to the ground.
10 kilograms of grain and 3 yuan are now in the ocean!
This is the savings that many people in Jin cannot save in a year!
Everyone was grateful to Yang Yuanshan and thought to themselves: This main force is really heroic. No wonder they can eliminate so many little devils. This kind of courage is not ordinary people!
They all clamored that next time the secret service camp needs help, they will definitely bring more people to help.
This is what Yang Yuanshan wants, so he is naturally very satisfied.
Isn't the so-called expansion and consolidation of base areas meant to make people willing to support the Eighth Route Army through various means?
The team that was short of supplies could only help the common people carry water, cut firewood, and do household chores. But his secret service camp had plenty of food and oceans, so of course he had to spend money.
After all, this is the most effective way.
The common people are not stupid, they know exactly which team is good to them!
Later, Yang Yuanshan announced that the secret service camp would expand and recruit soldiers. Anyone who was willing to serve as a soldier would be given 5 yuan as a settlement allowance and 20 kilograms of food.
Now the big guy is even more excited.
These are all young and strong young men who are at their most passionate and hero-worshiping years. How can they not be moved by the splendor of the soldiers from the secret service battalion in fighting the little devils these past two days?
What's more, there is still so much food and ocean to take?
Immediately, some people shouted that they would join the secret service camp and serve as soldiers.
However, Yang Yuanshan did not accept them immediately. Instead, he asked Zhou Xianpei to announce the conditions and disciplines for our army's recruitment, and then asked them to go home today. When the spy battalion finishes beating the Japs tomorrow afternoon, they can come back and recruit other people in the village. Bring those who are willing to serve as soldiers.
People distributed food and oceans to the villagers, and watched them leave in groups with torches. Only then did Yang Yuanshan have time to eat and sleep.
…
The next morning, 7 o'clock.
A scout rushed into the camp headquarters and woke Yang Yuanshan up.
"Battal Commander, the Japs started setting out at 6:30 today. Their vanguards have already exchanged fire with our guard posts."
"The little devil is here in such a hurry? It seems that he is rushing here to die!"
Yang Yuanshan muttered.
After waving the scout to go down and rest, he went to the next room to wake up Li Yunlong, who was half-dead from exhaustion after working as a machine gun instructor for a long time:
"Captain, we estimate that the little devil will reach our blocking position around 9 a.m."
"Okay, finish the fight quickly, I have to go back to the regiment headquarters.
I've been stuck here with you for several days. When I go back, Lao Zhao might have to nag me in my ears again. It's really annoying! "
Li Yunlong got a headache when he thought of how Zhao Gang was just like Tang Monk these days, chanting mantras in his ears.
He can't be beaten again and again, and he can't be scolded again and again.
When someone is annoyed, he will send a telegram to the brigade commander at every turn.
This day, don't mention how sad it is.
"Haha, leader, if you find Political Commissar Zhao annoying, why don't you ask him to come to our camp and help us with our ideological work?
Our battalion will soon recruit a large number of new recruits. This ideological work will probably make Lao Zhou exhausted and out of breath. He needs help! "
Yang Yuanshan smiled and used damaging moves.
"Hey, you boy, that's a good idea.
In this way, when you finish the war, you can write me an application. When the time comes, I will work hard to get Lao Zhao for you.
Once he's here, just keep him busy for three to five months, and don't let him go back and nag me.
How about it? "
Li Yunlong was pleasantly surprised and thought to himself: This guy's brain is really good, he can come up with such a harmful idea.
"I'm fine.
Commander, as long as you can get Political Commissar Zhao here, I will have plenty of recruits and Japanese prisoners here.
Make sure not to let political commissar Zhao sit idle! "
He longed for someone to help him with the work. Zhao Gang was so talented because he, Yang Yuanshan, had earned it with his blood.
"Okay, then it's settled."
The two hit it off immediately.
Behind Zhao Gang's back, he arranged his work for the next six months.
I wonder if Zhao Gang will want to hit someone after he finds out about this.
…
The two of them took some steamed buns from the cooking team and ate them while walking towards the Hedi Village position.
The morning light was dimming on the horizon, and they walked through the early morning dew to the position. They saw the soldiers holding their guns and sleeping in trenches and shell-proof holes.
There are only a few sentries patrolling and guarding.
Han Yang was sleeping lightly. When he heard someone moving, he woke up immediately. Seeing that Yang Yuanshan and Li Yunlong were coming, he quickly walked out of the trench to greet them:
"Regiment commander, battalion commander, why are you here?"
"The kid is about to arrive. I have just asked the logistics company to send breakfast. As soon as breakfast arrives, you will immediately organize the soldiers to eat and then get ready."
Yang Yuanshan explained.
"Okay! It's better for the little devil to come quickly. It would be better if we can finish the fight in time for lunch."
Han Yang said viciously.
Li Yunlong saw that these two people were planning to eat a whole group of little devils in one morning, and he couldn't help but boast:
“Good fellow, your camp’s style is really bad for me.
Just like Zhang Dabiao's first battalion, they are a team that can fight tough battles! "
As soon as they spoke, He Yunfu, Li Dahe, Gao Yuanzhi, Feng Shuanglin and others on the battlefield also woke up and hurriedly came over and asked:
"Battal Commander, how will we fight later?"
"how to spell?
Simple, just use firepower to bully them! "
Yang Yuanshan snorted coldly.
Then explained:
"All infantrymen should not open fire yet. After the Japs enter the range of the cannons and mountain artillery, engage in an artillery battle first and try to blow up the Japs' artillery as much as possible.
They have 6 cannons and we have 12, and the shooting elements have been calibrated in advance. The advantage is mine!
Then when they charged to a position of about 600-800 meters, the 40mm anti-aircraft gun opened fire with full force and rapid fire.
If the little devil doesn't retreat at this time and continues to charge forward, then when he reaches the position of 500-600 meters, all the machine guns will fire immediately. He must use the fastest speed to shoot out all the bullets for me!
To the maximum extent, consume the little devil's vitality.
I don't believe that the little devil is made of iron. I won't retreat like this! "
7 anti-aircraft guns, with a range of more than 7,000 meters, and 8 machine guns, with a range of more than 4,000 meters. When the time comes, they will fire at full speed. Yang Yuanshan cannot even imagine the scene.
Definitely more exciting than the cold weapon era when a Maxim heavy machine gun strangled thousands of charging infantry!
"If they don't retreat, we will open fire with the whole army when they reach about 400 meters. First, we will use the 38 cover and grenade to teach the little devils a profound lesson. When they reach 50 meters in front of the position, our boxes The artillery also opened fire with all its strength, and at the same time retreated to the second position, increasing the distance from the little devils, and continued to bully them with firepower!"
"Then what if the little devil retreats?"
Han Yang asked.
“Then of course I’ll catch up and beat up the drowned dog.
The regiment leader had previously sent political commissar Zhao to lead the regiment's soldiers to destroy the road that the little devils used to retreat. They will definitely not be able to outrun us. We will pursue them all the way and try to annihilate all these little devils.
Understand? "
"clear!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
But everyone is inevitably doubtful, and everyone thinks: Is it so easy to deal with these 1,000 little devils?
Can our cannons easily destroy them?
Isn't it?
If we can win in this way, wouldn't the little devil's field brigade turn into clay puppets?
…
