Chapter 51 Posing as the Eighth Route Army
Seeing this large coal mine factory built during the Guangxu period, Deng Chenggong felt from the bottom of his heart that he would lead people to demolish it today, but it would be impossible to start construction in a short time. This way of hurting the enemy a thousand times and hurting himself 800 times was spread. Those who spent their time in building this coal mine would hate him from the bottom of his heart.
But as long as the Japanese thought of taking over this, converting these coals into steel or other strategic materials, in addition to increasing the Japanese army's war advantages, they would be more arrogant and rampant in China. Deng Chenggong felt that it would be better to protect the underground coals as much as possible, and wait until the Japanese were driven out of the country, which would be the national or national.
Just as the relocated militia were disassembling generators and equipment into the vehicle under the guidance of some mechanical technicians, the scout outside who was responsible for the guarding sent a telegram saying that a Japanese infantry unit with a population of about 500 was advancing on the road less than five kilometers away from the coal mine. The militia regiment responsible for the guarding and defense in the front asked whether it would block the Japanese army.
A Japanese army of about 500 people, that is, half of the Japanese brigade, should not have any large artillery, and they should be equipped with heavy firepower weapons such as mortars or grenade launchers. With a minimum of 800 people in a militia regiment, the light and heavy weapons are equipped with no less than those of the Japanese.
But this place itself is not far from Shijiazhuang. If the Japanese escape a few times as soon as the battle begins, or send the situation here with telegrams, I am afraid that less than half of the coal mines that have just been demolished will inevitably be thrown here.
Knowing that time was urgent, Deng Chenggong immediately arranged the accompanying blasting team and immediately carried out the previously planned explosives burial. When he announced his retreat, he immediately blew up all the mines that had been built. He immediately ordered the militia regiments on the road in another direction to immediately draw a battalion of militias and go around the rear of the Japanese army to block the Japanese army. When the battle in front began, he would prevent the Japanese army from fleeing backwards.
As for Deng Chenggong, he immediately set off with his accompanying special forces members and headed to the militia regiment that was ambushing on the mountain road. When Deng Chenggong appeared at the command center, he asked before waiting for several commanders to salute: "How many people are there on the other side? What weapons and equipment are there? Have you learned how these Japanese guys suddenly appeared here?"
Xu Chang, the head of the Lin County Militia Corps, immediately said: "Commander, this group of Japanese Japanese divisions belonged to the 14th Division. They should have gone to Shijiazhuang to participate in the battle. But for some reason, they suddenly changed their route to this Jingzhi Coal Mine.
According to the revelations from the scouts in front of us, the Japanese led the team were a Zhongjiao, with ten mortars of various caliber and grenade launchers with light and heavy machine guns. Other large-caliber artillery were not found. Moreover, according to the revelations from the scouts, these Japanese only sent a vanguard force of less than ten people, and they were only concerned about rushing during the march, as if they were not worried about encountering ambush."
The 14th Division of the Japanese Army is the A-level division of the Japanese army. It can be called the elite troops of the Japanese. Although there are only 500 troops, if you really underestimate him, with the current strength of your own troops, you may not be able to deal with the other side even if you can.
However, in Deng Chenggong's opinion, it was undoubtedly a failure, but since he decided to fight, he had to wipe out all these Japanese troops. Fortunately, this time, the Flying Eagle Special Forces accompanied him also came with fifty people, and the team of nearly a thousand regular militias around him might have to ambush with the Japanese.
Deng Chenggong, who quickly made up his mind, immediately asked Xuchang to start paving a minefield next to the second road, and also told all militias to launch a sudden attack with his gunshots. As for the special forces, they were assigned to various battalions of the militia regiment by five teams, and asked them to focus on attacking Japanese officers, sergeant commanders, light and heavy machine gunners, and Japanese radio operators who had to focus on solving the problem in the first round.
After the combat order was issued, the militiamen who participated in the battle for the first time were naturally nervous and excited. Although they were training in the militia regiment, they have always been to fight these upcoming Japanese devils today.
But when they were in the battle, many militiamen found that their hands holding guns began to tremble involuntarily. Only some veterans who had experienced gun battles understood the mentality of these new militias and used chat to distract the new recruits from their attention.
When three tricycles appeared in the ambush area, the militia lying beside the second side did not dare to breathe, for fear of letting the other party discover it. Especially these Japanese men did not seem to feel sorry for bullets at all. The light machine guns mounted on the motorcycle were not shooting into the mountains and forests next to the second side of the road.
Hearing the sound of bullets flying overhead from time to time, the somewhat anxious soldiers wanted to kill the ten arrogant Japanese in front of them immediately. They had accepted militias who had learned specifically at the Japanese combat habits. They all knew that this should be what officers often call firepower reconnaissance, and it was not that the Japanese who had really discovered them hiding beside them. Seeing that the three motorcycles had already driven out of the ambush area, the Japanese infantry brigade was standing on the entire mountain road.
When the marching Japanese troops entered the minefield, Deng Chenggong immediately commanded the special forces around him to prepare and ready to press the detonator at any time.
As most of the Japanese troops entered the explosion area, Deng Chenggong roared: "Start explosion! Fight!"
A series of explosions suddenly sounded beside the originally silent mountain road II. The explosion's shock waves were filled with countless iron pieces and stones, blowing the Japanese army that was close to the corner into swarms. Before the Japanese army could wake up from the explosion, countless light and heavy machine guns and rifle bullets shot into various parts of the Japanese army's body.
However, after the first round of shooting, the Japanese troops who escaped quickly relied on the dead corners of the mountain road in groups to counterattack. The artillery and grenade launchers who had been following the team, and those who survived, soon looked for a good launching position and fired at the heavy machine gun firepower on the mountain.
As a heavy machine gun fire point was blown up by the Japanese mortar, Deng Chenggong, who was a little angry, shouted: "Xuchang, where is your group of artillery? Why not fight back? Are the mortars assigned to you used to see?"
Just when he blamed the militia for not carrying out effective counterattacks, the militia's artillery finally fired the first round of artillery shells. However, compared with the Japanese's ability to hit the first round, they only bombed the infantry in front of the Japanese artillery positions in the first round. Fortunately, the artillery of these militia's artillery quickly adjusted the angle and blew up the Japanese artillery that was about to transfer the position.
As the Japanese artillery was silent, the artillery of the militia began to clear the Japanese heavy firepower points at a designated location. Not long after, Deng Chenggong discovered that there were not many Japanese troops who survived on the road and could fight back. He immediately ordered the trumpet officers to blew the charge and jumped up to run towards the Japanese at the foot of the mountain.
His sudden impulse shocked the special forces members who were staying by his side, and he quickly jumped out of the trenches to block Deng Chenggong. Although he felt that these special forces members were a little interested in defeating him, considering that they were using their bodies to block bullets for him, Deng Chenggong calmed down and took two box cannons from time to time to count some surviving Japanese devils.
When the Japanese team of more than 500 people was finally left with only one major and a few Japanese who gathered together, holding a rifle and staring at the militia that gradually surrounded them with fear. Just as the militia officers who were surrounding the team were preparing to issue a shooting order, the Japanese soldiers, who were protected in the middle suddenly shouted loudly: "Whose troops are you? Why am I ambush us?"
Well! This Japanese man can speak Chinese. Deng Chenggong, who happened to come over, got a little interested and walked forward quickly and said, "I want to know who we are? Then should you tell us your official troops number first? As for the so-called ambush, it is just a common method in war. As a belliger country, we have the right to ambush you at any time and place. Do you still have less of this kind of thing?"
The master looked at Deng Chenggong, who was almost indifferent to the ordinary soldiers in front of him, and then shouted: "I am Major Watanabe of the 14th Division of the Great Japanese Army. Can you tell me now, who are you?"
Deng Chenggong smiled and said, "For the sake of your impending elimination by us, I will tell you with mercy! We are the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army led by the People's Party, and I am the brigade commander Chen Geng. You are satisfied with this answer! Since you know our identity, you either put down your weapons and surrender to us, and I promise to save you your lives, or let me order you to kill them directly. If you choose that road, you should say it quickly."
People’s Party! Eighth Route Army!
Xu Chang, the militia commander standing next to him, almost laughed out loud, while the other soldiers felt that his commander was really lying without blinking.
Unfortunately, after listening to Deng Chenggong's self-introduction, the master said arrogantly: "Brig Commander, since the War of Resistance Against Japan began, have you seen the Japanese army surrendering to your army? If you are a samurai, I hope to have a one-on-one contest with you. If I unfortunately lose at your hands, I will never complain."
Well! When Deng Chenggong heard what the Japanese said, he wanted to shoot this guy who is still so arrogant now. It can be seen that the other party made a single challenge, and Deng Chenggong felt that there should be enough time.
He happily pulled out the dagger he carried with him and said, "Although I hate your bushido very much, for your dedication, I will meet your requirements and let you see my Chinese martial arts, which are not comparable to your samurai!"
Seeing that his commander became a militant again, the special forces members could only retreat aside and instruct Xuchang to keep an eye on the alive Japanese devils to prevent the opponent from attacking Deng Chenggong's cold gun. The Flying Eagle members were focused on the Japanese devils' every move. Once the commander was in danger, they would kill this annoying Japanese devils first at the risk of being scolded. After all, the importance of Deng Chenggong to the militia column is far beyond the level of the Japanese devils' officer in front of them.
