Anyone who knows something about military affairs or history knows that Jingxing has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
During the Anti-Japanese War, if you occupy this place, you can follow the Jingxing Grand Canyon to the west and threaten Taiyuan along the Zhengtai Line. You can directly threaten Shimen to the east and cut off the Pinghan Line.
The key point is that this area is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack throughout the world!
It was here that Han Xin made his last stand in history.
The Japanese also deployed a brigade to guard here. To the east of Jingxing is the Japanese 110th Division stationed in Shijiazhuang. To the southeast is the 108th Division of Xingtai. Along the entire Zhengtai Line is the Japanese Independent Fourth Mixed Army. A total of five railway garrison brigades were deployed in the brigade's defense area, from Jingxing to Yangquan, Shouyang, and Yuci.
Coupled with the Japanese invaders' North China First Army stationed in Taiyuan and Yuncheng, this means that if they want to cause trouble in the Jingxing area, they will be besieged by more than four Japanese divisions in a very short period of time!
Don't think about it, so the Eighth Route Army hopes to develop underground armed forces in the Jingxing area and carry out guerrilla operations. Currently, it has two bases in Jingxing Road North and Jingxing Road West, but Jingxing Road East is close to Shimen (Shijiazhuang). ) area is still blank.
Liu Yu and others were sent to form the Jingxing County Brigade with the attitude of giving it a try. The best they could achieve, and the loss would not be much if they failed.
On the mountain road, Liu Yu and Old Uncle Jiang were walking side by side.
They all changed into ordinary people's clothes. Liu Yu's clothes were borrowed from a soldier named Li Ergou. They always felt awkward wearing them at this time.
"There are probably fleas in Ergou's clothes, and they always feel itchy!" Liu Yu said with an uncomfortable look on his face as he twisted his neck and shoulders.
Jiang Fengchun rolled his eyes: "It's good if you have something to wear. Why are you so squeamish after being injured? You weren't like this before."
Liu Yu was shocked when he heard this and immediately changed the subject: "Uncle Jiang, I heard that you were a battalion commander in the Northeast Army. Is it true?"
"Yeah, that's not good!" Jiang Fengchun looked very proud.
"Then why did you join the Red Army?" Liu Yu asked curiously.
Jiang Fengchun opened his mouth and hesitated, but then he seemed to have made up his mind and sighed: "It's not a shameful thing, just let me chat with you. On September 18th, the Japanese invaded." , our regiment commander gave an order not to fight back, saying that if you don’t resist, just hold on and die, everyone will be a benevolent person and sacrifice for the country! What kind of bullshit order do you think this is? Later, the Japanese soldiers came to our position, and I led my brothers to fight back the Japanese soldiers. Four attacks, that’s a lot of fun!”
"What happened next?" Liu Yu asked again.
"It's okay, I was jerked off." Jiang Fengchun curled his lips, "Once I jerked off to the end, I was demoted from battalion commander to gang leader. If the regiment commander hadn't interceded for me, my head would have been moved."
"Later, the Northeast Army withdrew to the pass. It was because people were disgusted with dogs. We were looked down upon wherever we went! That was the year before last, the Red Army said it would march eastward to fight the Japanese. I thought it would be useless to stay there, so I took my family with me. He voted for the Red Army."
Liu Yu was a little surprised: "It's okay for you to go alone. How did you bring your family here?"
At this time, Jiang Fengchun's eyes gradually filled with tears, and after a while he said: "My wife and children have been following me from Northeast China to Shaanxi. They followed the troops wherever they went, which was a pain for them. I thought at that time They were about to join the Red Army and they decided not to stay in Xi'an, so I simply asked someone to bring them a message asking them to move to Yan'an."
Liu Yu gave a thumbs up when he heard this: "That's awesome, my brother!"
"Hehehe." Jiang Fengchun smiled miserably, and then said: "By the way, my eldest daughter is as old as you and very handsome. My son is two years younger than you, and they are both studying in Yan'an at the moment. I will be more promising than you in the future!"
"You show off your children, you show off, why are you burying me?" Liu Yu rolled his eyes and complained, "If your daughter is handsome, what kind of good seeds can you produce with a crooked melon and cracked jujube?"
Jiang Fengchun didn't take it seriously: "Yes, I'm crooked, but my wife is beautiful!"
Liu Yu suffered another critical attack. He has been single for two generations. This kind of pretense is the most fatal to him!
When Jiang Fengchun saw that Liu Yu had stopped talking, he chuckled, and then continued to raise the topic: "Hey, by the way, are you really from Sichuan? Why, your accent doesn't sound like you at all. If you hadn't always followed the directions... .If you chat a few words in Sichuan dialect with Guigui and the others, I really suspect that you are from the north."
I originally wanted to say instructor, but I was afraid that mentioning it would make Liu Yu sad, so I quickly changed my name to Wang Baogui.
This time it was Liu Yu's turn to complain: "I call it language talent. It is a talent that only people with high IQs have. No matter where it is, I can speak it after hearing it once."
"See what you can do..."
. . . . . .
The two chatted and laughed, and soon walked out of the mountain and came to the official road.
It was already close to noon. Fortunately, it was already October and the weather was getting cooler and not too hot.
Moreover, the two soon encountered a Japanese stronghold.
The system also sent a prompt:
"Ding, Japanese troops are found one kilometer ahead, thirty-six in total, crush them!"
Liu Yu was startled by the sudden sound. After reacting, he rolled his eyes and replied with his mind: "System, are you just a radar?"
However there was no response.
Shrugging, Liu Yu continued to lead Jiang Fengchun towards the road card.
Different from the previous TV series, the Japanese turrets in the TV series were all built next to the official road, or next to Luka. This is obviously unreasonable.
In reality, the enemy's artillery towers were basically not built along official roads. Most of them were built in villages and towns, and were built on commanding heights that could monitor the entire defense area.
Moreover, most of the turrets are made of earthen wood and masonry structures, which are quite solid and condescending. They cannot be easily knocked down by the armed forces behind enemy lines who lack heavy weapons.
Once a situation arises and the opponent has few people, they can solve it by themselves when they come out of the turret. If there are many people on the other side, just huddle in the gun tower and wait for reinforcements. The Japanese reinforcements will arrive quickly along the official road.
As for those strongholds built on the roadside, they were usually the garrison of the Japanese military police or regional garrison brigades. They were built on the roadside to enable troops to be quickly transferred through official roads when necessary. This kind of stronghold has at least several hundred Japs inside. Not to mention the armed forces behind enemy lines, even ordinary regular troops may not be able to defeat it.
At this time, the stronghold that Liu Yu and the others encountered was built on a hilltop about 400 meters away from the official road. There was another roadblock on the official road at the foot of the mountain.
In other words, it is difficult to hit this road card. This distance is completely within the range of the machine gun in the turret.
The two of them were dressed like poor people (actually they were poor), and the Japanese didn't pay any attention to them when they walked past Luka. It wasn't because the Japanese were kind-hearted, but because Luka was mainly targeting the traveling businessmen, setting up traffic jams on the official roads. You can collect toll taxes from them, and secondly, you can prevent someone from transporting military supplies to the Chinese army.
As for ordinary pedestrians, those with baggage must of course search, but people like Liu Yu don't even bother to search.
"There are six on Luka, and there are at least 20 in the turret over there. It's hard to fight!" Jiang Fengchun looked back at Luka behind him and said with a frown.
"It's not easy to fight? In our current situation, we will die if we come here!" Liu Yu complained.
