The heavens begin with the bright sword

Chapter 53
It's not the same if they are rich and powerful. A military commander and an ace brigade, even if there are a lot of casualties during the siege, it is relatively easy to encircle and suppress the remaining 600 devils at this moment.

If a city has been defeated, what about a stronghold within the city?
The brigade commander looked at the lingering devils, and the several bunkers in front were still struggling desperately, temporarily restraining the soldiers from advancing.

"The regiment that is attacking now?"

"A brother of the 17th Regiment."

"Xiucai just took some of the devil's arsenals, and went to move all the mortar ammunition here. I want to see if the brat's blockhouse is tough, or the shells we captured are more powerful."

"Li Yunlong, how is the monk Wei from your group?"

"That kid was even more stupefied than Zhang Dabiao when he fought. He insisted on charging forward when he was injured. He was punched by the scholar who caught up with him, and he went to the temporary medical station for treatment."

"I don't know how you train it, kid. There are seven or eight regiments in our brigade, and your independent regiment is the worst."

"It's all taught by the brigade commander."

The 17th Regiment launched a total of three rounds of attacks, and finally with the fire support of the whole brigade, they flattened the outer bunkers and rushed into the devil's stronghold.

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled here, Zhang Xiu made a report and led a team to sweep away the scattered devils hiding in the city.

"Commander, if it were us, we would have knocked down the blockhouse in one round." Li Huaizhong said sullenly, "Why don't you like to take the main attack?"

"Where is the interest in stealing the main attack to make a fortune?" Zhang Xiu shot a devil who was hiding in the house and wanted to attack them through the window, and said, "Besides, let the other brother troops earn some credit. ?”

"That's true. Anyway, we followed the head of the group to carry three arsenals in a row. If it weren't for the brothers of the independent group who were clever and followed closely, I'm afraid our receipts would be even bigger."

"Just be content. Our regiment has hundreds of people. It's useless to have so many guns. The important thing is the bullets. As far as our regiment's combat effectiveness is concerned, it's just a sniper team. There are more than 20 people, and each person has a hundred bullets, how many devils do you think they can take down on the other side?"

Li Huaizhong shut up and didn't speak, it's outrageous to say that the "beasts" of the sniper team are simply not human, and at least four devils should be knocked down with five bullets, like Wang Xikui who hangs people, one bullet pierces two It's all common.

Not to mention their team leader, Wang Xikui was aiming at someone beating Zhang Xiu and exploded the grenade hanging from his waist from time to time, which was extremely cruel.

With the successful liberation of Qinyuan County, the devils who came to support from all over the country gradually retreated. Qinyuan County has already fallen, and it is still useless to send reinforcements. Moreover, the fierce resistance of the anti-Japanese armed forces in various regions of Shanxi also caused the Japanese army a headache. .

Even many armed forces teams lurking behind the enemy in major counties are fanning the flames everywhere, firing a cannon here, lighting a fire there, and a few spies lurking in the puppet army successfully assassinated several devil officers , led the troops to take the opportunity to mutiny and surrender to the enemy, but unfortunately the fighting power of the puppet army was too impressive, and did not cause any powerful attack on the devils.

Moreover, most of the puppet soldiers are not willing to be dogs to the devils. If the people above coaxed them to save the country with curves, they would have mutinied long ago.

Headquarters.

The boss continued to receive good news from various departments, and he burst into laughter.

"Haha, little devils are commonplace. Not only the Central Army and Jinsui Army in Linfen, Qinyuan County, also took advantage of this opportunity to recapture Daning County and Xi County, which were lost a while ago, and sent heavy troops to garrison them. "

"After this battle is over, I'm afraid the little devil's life will be completely difficult." The chief of staff said with a smile: "The little devil has only so many troops, and every casualty is one, which is different from us. Others are different. Let’s just say that the puppet troops who have surrendered over the years are enough to fight a few more similar siege battles with the little devil.”

"That being said, the siege battle still had too many casualties after all. Although three counties were won in this battle, the casualties of each department were not small, especially the troops responsible for blocking the enemy's reinforcements. The casualties were not small. .”

"You can't say that. The [-]th Brigade in charge of the siege had the fewest casualties. I see that in the report sent, Li Yunlong's independent regiment, Li Yunlong, who was in charge of the siege, was the first to enter the county. Zhao Gang, who was in charge of blocking enemy reinforcements, also fought vigorously. He not only suppressed the enemy troops in Ping'an County in Brown Yanggou, but also dispatched cavalry companies to cooperate with the puppet troops who had secretly surrendered, and pulled out multiple Japanese strongholds to face each other. As for the reinforcements in Qinyuan County, the little devils in Ping'an County obviously still care more about their own territory, and they are sneaked around by the independent regiment. This is also a new idea that can be cited." The chief of staff looked at the battle report and said with a smile: "Except for the independent regiment In addition, Ding Wei's new regiment used water to attack, and Kong Jie's second regiment used fire to attack and ambush. Both have merits."

"Well, let each regiment send up their own battle summary reports. This attack on the county seat has accumulated valuable experience for our army in tackling tough cities. We will learn the essence and lessons from it."

"Actually, the biggest gain for our army in this battle is not the capture of Qinyuan County." The chief of staff looked at the distribution of points on the map, pointed to several areas, and said: "After the Japanese army swept up, the attack on my base area The implementation of a grid blockade has led to a sharp shrinkage of the base areas. But now, you can see that these small base areas have inadvertently joined together, and all the troops participating in the war have gained a lot. Whether it is from a tactical or strategic perspective, they are all worthwhile. Call it a classic."

The siege of Qinyuan is now over.

Zhang Xiu's New Sixth Regiment also began to wipe out the remnants of the devils in the entire Qinyuan County. Because of its unique combat style, the brigade commander joked that it was a "wretched" tactic. He was the number one figure in the entire southeast of Shanxi , suddenly became famous.

With the success of the "Battle of Qinyuan Gele", the entire Jinsui region set off a storm of siege. In particular, the Central Army and the Jinsui Army jointly captured several counties in Linfen within a month. A big piece of news, faintly implying the siege of Linfen.

"Good guy." The brigade commander looked at the distribution map of the Jinsui Army and said in his heart: "Is Yan Laoxi planning to pass it? It seems that this is a taste of sweetness, and a few counties can no longer satisfy his appetite. .”

Judging from the current international situation, the defeat of the Japanese army is only a matter of time. Logically speaking, as long as the Japanese army surrenders after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they can directly take over the fruits of victory.

But the Eighth Route Army launched the Battle of Qinyuan at this time and won the victory, which made him feel a little nervous. After all, the territory in his hands is only a few dozen counties in southwestern Shanxi. If the Eighth Route Army really has the ability to regain lost ground, then in the future.
It's better to strike first, Qinyuan can be attacked from all directions, why can't he attack Linfen?

The war in Shanxi, which had been calmed down, seemed to be ignited again, and even the Japanese offensive in the south was affected.

Whether to continue to go south and completely open up the communication lines in mainland China, and to connect Japan with Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific front through mainland China, or to free up hands to deal with some anti-Japanese coalition forces in Shanxi has become an important issue for the Japanese War Department.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu has already followed the brigade commander to Yan'an, and will not return to Shanxi for a period of time.
