Chapter 411 The chaotic situation of making a fortune outside the encirclement

"How's the situation?"

"Battalion Commander, the Devils have dispatched two Iron Battalions, which look like Devil's Type [-] medium tanks. The Iron Battalion is in front, and advances forward. The Devil's infantry follows behind the Iron Battalion."

Lei Dasheng nodded, his face full of sarcasm, "It seems that this little devil's infantry-tank coordination tactics are not very good. In the tactics class, the team leader said that this tank is not as strong as we imagined.

Can't go to the battlefield, let the infantry hide behind the tank, use the tank as a shield, such a tank is no different from scrap iron.

On the battlefield, infantry and tanks cooperate, and infantry must protect their own tanks.

Of course, if we are dealing with our former troops and there are not many bullets, then it doesn't matter.

But the little devil in front of me is afraid that he didn't understand the situation. Our independent group does not lack sharp weapons to knock down the iron king.

This devil's Type [-] medium tank is light in weight, thin in armor, and weak in firepower, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

The little devils are just used to bully and bully our Chinese army. "

"Are the traps and pits ready?"

"The Battalion Commander, don't worry, the preparations were made early in the morning. In order to let the Devil Tank fall into the pit smoothly, we dug obvious trenches on both sides of the trap pit. In order to prevent the Devil Tank from falling into the ditch, the Devil Tank can only advance along the road we reserved , In the middle of the road is a well-set trap pit.

On the surface of the trap pit, we used medium-thick wooden sticks as a frame, then pressed it with reed mats and corn stalks, and finally covered it with soil, and dried the soil on the soil.

At first glance, it looks like ordinary ground. If people walk on it, the weight will not be able to bear it down, and nothing will happen.

But as long as the tank drives up, with the weight of the tank, it will definitely plunge headlong into the sinkhole.

For this trap pit, we dug it shallow in the front and deep in the back. The length is twice the length of the Devils tank, and the maximum depth is also twice the height of the Devils tank. .

As soon as the Devil Tank rushed into the pit, it would rush to the opposite pit wall. Coupled with its own speed, the tank body was easy to turn over, but it was difficult to turn over again!
When the time comes, we'll catch the devil's tank! "

"We used to use this kind of trap to catch prey on the mountain, but this is the first time we have caught a tank!"

Lei Dasheng smiled and said: "Good job, after the devil's tank fell into the pit, the little devil must find a way to rescue the tank, and then we will start to stop the Japanese army on the spot."

"Yes!"

……

Independent regiment.

Kong Jie also got the news that the Japanese army used tanks to move forward from the two directions of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang at the same time.

"The little devil is being pushed into a hurry."

As Kong Jie said, his eyes focused on the sand table, and he tapped lightly on the edge of the sand table with two fingers.

Captain Kong was thinking about the situation in the first battalion, second battalion and third battalion.

According to the time calculated by Kong Jie and the three battalion commanders at first.

It was after the Japanese troops who attacked West Village and Zhangjiazhuang fell into the village, reached the second half of the village, and got entangled with the soldiers of the Independence Regiment thoroughly, the first, second, and third battalions took the opportunity to dispatch again.

Count the time, it's almost too soon.

At this time, if you look down from the perspective of God.

The mopping up forces dispatched by the Japanese army from Shouyang, Yangquan, Taiyuan, Ping'an counties, and Taigu, Zhangzhuang, and Tan counties were like a big net, encircling and controlling the entire Taihang area.

With the shrinking of the big net, the main forces of the first, second, and third battalions that Kong Jie secretly hid in the mountainous area seemed to have slipped through the net, and were directly ignored by the big net.

At this moment, somewhere in the mountainous area, the three battalion commanders are discussing the next battle plan.

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan said: "According to the long-distance reconnaissance in the base area, the devils have already entered the village and exchanged fire with the Fourth and Fifth Battalions."

The commander of the first battalion, Wang Leihu, was a little worried, "Our three battalions are now surrounded by the devils. The main force of our independent regiment is not there, and the devils must be attacking our independent regiment with heavy troops. There will be no danger for the regimental commander, right?"

Shen Quan said with a smile: "Lei Hu, let's not worry about it. It's not like you don't know the leader's ability. If you really don't have this confidence, the leader will decide on this flipping tactic?"

"Besides, even if we go back to the original place now, we won't be able to help much, and we may even be surrounded by the main force of the Japanese army. The next thing we have to do is to make a fuss in the rear of this devil. The more fierce it is, the safer the team leader will be."

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, said with a smile: "The main force of the Japanese army in the Yangquan area has gone to mop up our roots. At this moment, the rear area is empty. There is no way to attack casually, as long as there is a fight, the devil's reinforcements will arrive soon.

Right now is a good opportunity, which means that the main force of the devils is not here, so we can make trouble at will.

How many supplies and equipment do you have to stockpile in this large stronghold?The head of the regiment was right. After this battle is over, our independent regiment will make a fortune. "

Wang Leihu said: "That's a good point, as long as the devils don't get reinforcements, don't we just eat these strongholds?"

"We made a detour from the mountainous area this time, but we specially brought a lot of flat-firing guns modified by repair equipment. These artillery cannons are perfect for attacking devils' strongholds."

Shen Quan smiled and said: "Then continue to detour forward, wait for another hour, and do it directly. Now I really want to know what the expressions of those devil officers should be when the devil's mopping up troops know that they have encountered a surprise attack behind them." How wonderful."

"I guess everyone is stupid." Wang Leihu said happily.

……

……

The new second group.

Li Yunlong, who was studying the battle plan at the regiment headquarters, became livid with anger when he learned of the deployment of the devil's brigade.

"Old Zhao, look, this bastard little devil really took our new second group as a soft persimmon."

"With the strength of a brigade, damn it, you dare to split into three groups and advance towards our new second regiment at the same time, showing a tendency to encircle them."

"This is really not taking our old Li seriously!"

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "This Japanese army captain is indeed a little bit too big. Even if we know that our new second regiment is a newly formed regiment, we will not divide into three troops and advance forward. This way the troops will be dispersed, which is a big taboo for military strategists."

"Old Li, how do you want to fight this battle?"

Li Yunlong scolded: "It's not about how to fight, it's about how we, Lao Li, want to eat this piece of fat. Doesn't this devil treat our new second regiment as a newly formed local army that doesn't even have a few guns?" ?”

"A brigade of troops dare to fight around our new second regiment. Next time I see Lao Ding and Lao Kong, those two old boys must laugh at me."

"Zhang Dabiao."

"To!"

"Assemble the first battalion immediately, take the broadsword team, and choose the way to Taiyuan. After destroying the devil's artillery first, let me stand out from the front, and then divide the troops into two groups, unite the second battalion and the third battalion, Clamp the devil's other two fronts back and forth, and eat them for me."

"This bastard little devil looks down on our new second regiment, we have to let the devils see that our new second regiment is not a soft persimmon."

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao replied loudly.

……

Li Yunlong's counterattack has always been swift and violent.

When the battle near Yangcun started, it didn't mean to be a tester at all, it was a decisive battle.

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, led the Broadsword Team. With the help of the cover of the mountains, they quickly touched the artillery position behind the Japanese army.

The combat troops of the first battalion of the new second regiment, ready to go, directly launched a frontal assault in the direction of Taiyuan City.

The offensive is swift and fierce, and the firepower is powerful.

As soon as the battle between the two sides started, the devil was immediately stunned.

The information that the Japanese army commander received at first was that this was an Eighth Route Army unit with only a thousand men, and it had only been newly established.

In such a situation, according to conventional speculation, the new second regiment of the Eighth Route Army should have outdated equipment and scarce ammunition.

This is also the reason why the captain of the devil's battalion dared to be so rampant that he divided his troops into three groups and directly encircled Yang Village.

The devil originally thought that the new second regiment was just a sheep, but when the sheep looked back, it turned into a tiger.

The First Battalion of the New Second Regiment was the most elite unit in the whole regiment. They suddenly launched a merciless assault, and the devils were divided into three groups. With one-third of the brigade's strength, how could it be possible to stop such a fierce attack?

It was just a round of confrontation. The Japanese army's line of soldiers encircling Yangcun from the direction of Taiyuan City was directly broken by the first battalion of the New Second Regiment.

Originally, if the devil brigade concentrated its forces and fought steadily, although Li Yunlong's new second regiment was powerful, it might not be able to get much benefit.

Who knew that this little devil was stupid and took the initiative to disperse his troops, which gave Li Yunlong a chance.

Once Lao Li caught the opportunity to eat meat, he would never let go of it.

The rise of Zhang Dabiao's killing, according to Li Yunlong's account, after leading the troops to successfully break through the army in the direction of the devil's Taiyuan City, he went out and came back, and broke through the devil's blockade back and forth several times, only a seven-in Seven out.

The devils of this group were immediately stunned, and the team almost collapsed. The scattered soldiers fled to the nearest stronghold in a hurry.

Then, Zhang Dabiao divided the first battalion into two groups, detoured to the back of the other two attacking troops of the devils, joined forces with the second battalion and the third battalion, and attacked back and forth to deal with the devil's troops.

By the time the devil captain came back to his senses, both of his troops had been routed.

In this way, the troops of the devil's brigade failed to reach Yangcun, but were easily killed by the troops of the New Second Regiment from three directions.

……

And just when the New Second Regiment was in full swing, the first battalion, second battalion, and third battalion of the independent regiment finally began to toss around the periphery of the encirclement and the rear of the Japanese army.

Under the powerful attacking flat-fire artillery, the devils made a big sweep this time, and there were not many people left behind in the stronghold, and more were even puppet troops.

In less than half an hour, the three battalions of the Independence Regiment divided into three groups, laid down eleven strongholds in a row, and captured four places in the town occupied by the Japanese army.

Then the main force of the three routes went directly to the city of Linyangquan.

In the hands of the Japanese invaders, Yangquan, which had been occupied for many years, experienced the fear of being crushed by the Chinese army for the first time.

The people of Yangquan who heard the news were overjoyed.

"The Eighth Route Army has come to the county, and the Eighth Route Army is coming to restore the county!"

"The devils and traitors in the city are finished, our Eighth Route Army comrades are here!"

When the people heard the news, they rushed to tell each other, full of cheers and joy.

As for Yangquan County at this moment, it is indeed empty of troops. The regular field army stationed in the county has less than one squadron, and the rest are some troops from the Devil Gendarmerie and the Puppet Guard.

Takeo Nakahara, the leader of the Devils Command in Yangquan, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly asked for help from Taiyuan City and the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade attacking the Independent Regiment.

It is really that the main force of the Eighth Route Army came too suddenly.

This time, the sweeping net of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area was gradually pushed forward in the form of encirclement circles from the major counties.

How could the devil think that there would be a fish that slipped through the net, or such a powerful fish that slipped through the net, would come directly to Yangquan?
This exaggerated style of play was the first time the devils in Northwest Shanxi had encountered it.

Wang Leihu, Shen Quan, and Wang Huaibao led their troops to break through the Japanese stronghold.

Then go directly to the city of Yangquan.

On the way, two infantry cannons were seized at a certain stronghold, and they were pulled directly under the city gate with a mule cart. The two cannons bombarded together, and the gate of Yangquan County was directly blown down.

At the same time in Yangquan City, comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry immediately took action. At this time, in Yangquan City, the number of puppet troops was far greater than that of the Japanese army, and one of the puppet army commanders was on the spot.

The puppet army on the top of the city mingled with the Japanese army, and Shen Quan and others took the opportunity to break through the main gate of Yangquan in one fell swoop.

Then the soldiers of the independent regiment did not stop. After entering the city gate, they quickly controlled the city gate and directly attacked the puppet army guard and gendarmerie to wipe out the devils and puppet troops.

In Shen Quan's words, "The head of the group has explained that the opportunity in front of us is once in a lifetime, and if we want to make trouble, we will make big trouble."

After the troops quickly broke through the city gate, Shen Quan and the three battalion commanders directly issued orders:
"Hurry up and seize the devil's granary and arsenal."

"All the equipment and supplies that can be taken away are taken away, and all that cannot be taken away are distributed to the people in the city."

"The head of the regiment said, our people, who do we believe if we don't believe it? Send guns to the people who are willing to fight the devils and puppet troops, and let the people join us in killing the enemy!"

As soon as this order was issued, it would be terrible. The men in the county who had been bullied by the devils and traitors for a long time stood up one by one, and ran to the direction of the city gate to cooperate with the attack of the soldiers of the independent regiment.

Then, with the support of the common people, the troops who entered the city quickly paralyzed the power supply station, communication station and other military facilities in Devil County.

Captain Nakahara Takeo of the Devils was defeated in the battle, so frightened he fled with a dozen guards through the side door.

However, the three battalions of the Independent Regiment attacked the county not only in Yangquan, but centered on Yangquan, and quickly spread in all directions, and the news spread first:

The Eighth Route Army aggressively attacked the Japanese-occupied areas.

The Eighth Route Army welcomes patriots who dare to stand up and resist.

The area occupied by the devils quickly turned into a mess. The Japanese and puppet soldiers in various counties and towns were panicked.

Explosive news.

It soon spread to the Fourth Brigade attacking the Independent Regiment, the Ishii Regiment, and the Japanese troops attacking the Taihang area from other directions.

The troops of the Japanese army who were besieging the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area were in chaos for a while.

Taiyuan City.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi, who also received the news, sat down on the armchair in case of a thunderbolt in the clear sky, dazzled for a long time, without knowing what to say.

The sweeping campaign launched by his first army with all its manpower and material resources is probably a big joke...
