Chapter 260

Zhou Yan's mischievous charge sounded. The conditioned reflex charge of the Eighth Route Army turned into an ugly look of attacks when the Japanese entered the village. This was something that neither the second squadron of the Liao County Guerrillas nor the Japanese army disguised as the Eighth Route Army had expected.

"I've fallen into the trap! Go quickly!"

"Don't be confused in the formation! Forced breakthrough!"

"All army assault!"

The Japanese army, who had just passed the level, were anxious and ran wildly, joking. Whenever the familiar trumpet that could be shocked to have nightmares at night, they would immediately face the collective charge of the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Looking around, half of the figure was missing. Duan Cheng knew he was fooled. He did not expect that this would happen. Just an inexplicable charge, the soldiers below were revealed without striking themselves. Nothing was more ridiculous than this. All the hard work he had put into trouble before was put into trouble.

"Your conscience is broken!" A Japanese officer dressed as an Eighth Route Army officer rushed to Duan Cheng on a horse and slapped his hand, which made Duan Cheng sway and almost fell off the horse.

"You!" Duan Cheng was furious, but the Japanese officer's words almost made him angry to death. "Mr. Duan, I will report to the division commander! You must be fully responsible for this exposure!" After saying that, he snorted and left.

"Damn it!" A clear purple-red handprint appeared on Duan Cheng's face, and he was so angry that he trembled all over his body. He was all disobedient and had to rely on himself for his responsibility?! He was boasting about some Bushido all day long, which was extremely hypocritical.

As he came over, he looked as though he was pointing at the Japanese soldiers majestic on the surface to do this and that, and he seemed to be a senior officer of this army, Duan Cheng knew very well that he was just a paper tiger. If it weren't for the orders of the Japanese superiors, these Japanese soldiers wouldn't have listened so honestly to his calls and turned against each other in a blink of an eye.

"Yes! Colonel Yizi!" Duan Chengqiang swallowed the resentment in his heart and endured it, without showing any resentment. In the eyes of even the lowest-level Japanese soldiers, killing himself is like slaughtering a dog. The Chinese have never been regarded as human beings in the eyes of the Japanese. Duan Cheng is often educated by the old man Duan Guishan for the survival experience of traitors. How can he not bow his head under the eaves?

After sneering a few times, the Japanese officers did not go to see Duan Cheng again. They pulled out a samurai sword from somewhere, and howled, "Don't stay here for a long time. Officers at all levels should take their subordinates and seize the time to meet with the 224th Regiment."

The Japanese army dressed as the Eighth Route Army ignored Xiao Xiami who was chasing the second squadron of the Liao County Guerrillas behind, and only threw away a dozen soldiers to hold the unequal guerrillas behind, and then accelerated collectively.

During the Second Public Security Strengthening Movement Campaign in the fall of 1941, the Japanese army also broke into the core area of ​​the base from Liao County. However, under the attack of the 129th Division and the 115th Division, and the 222nd Regiment on the Huangyadong battlefield encountered a loss of troops and failed to gain any benefit. However, this once successful breakthrough was used by the Japanese army again.

The amazing intelligence of the guerrillas in Liao County almost shocked the entire North China intelligence network of the Eighth Route Army. The intelligence line in the base area immediately entered full load operation, and the news that the Japanese army disguised as the Eighth Route Army and mixed into the base area was transmitted layer by layer.

Taking advantage of the attention of the Eighth Route Army branches being constrained by the combat strategy surrounding the anti-sweeping in central Hebei, Okamura Yasumi once again took a heavy move, using the slow intelligence network outside the base area to suddenly gather troops from a long distance, and unexpectedly killed a cold-defense, intending to attack the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

However, God did not expect that the will of heaven would make people. Liao County was successful and Liao County was defeated. It was just a small accident that neither side expected. The Japanese army responsible for sneak attacking the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was suddenly exposed to the sight of the guerrillas in the base area.

When an emergency news about the Japanese army disguised as the Eighth Route Army was transmitted to the various base areas, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was suddenly attacked by another Japanese gang disguised as the Eighth Route Army. The news of two huge bomb-like effects shocked the military and civilians in Shanxi, Cha, Hebei, Shandong and Henan.

The war was connected, and it was originally when the central Hebei region entered an extremely fierce anti-sweeping battle. The Taihang Mountain War Zone was dragged into the tragic war overnight.

The Taihang Mountain War Zone is in a hurry!

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters are in a hurry!

Everyone's attention was based on the dazzling movement of Japanese troops and combat trends outside the region, but the crisis broke out inside. No one expected that the Japanese army had quietly broken into the Eighth Route Army's own nest at this time and wanted to copy its own base camp.

The main Japanese forces in Taiyuan, Yangquan and Shijiazhuang went south at the same time, expanding the original local sweep into a large-scale sweep battle.

The Japanese army, which had a number of more than 10,000 suddenly, was based on the core area, which made the military and civilians in the Matian area unable to react quickly. The 129th Division guarding the Eighth Route Army Headquarters immediately launched a counterattack, regardless of casualties and sacrifice, and made every effort to cover the transfer of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. At the same time, the General Staff of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters urgently sent troops to various districts to collect troops from various departments of the Matian Town, which was affiliated to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Anti-Japanese University Branch, the Xinhua News Agency Branch, and the Logistics Department.

All divisions were also facing the shadow of the Japanese main attack. On the 25th, the Third Regiment of the First Division received an emergency document from the superior 115th Division, covering the attack of the 223rd Japanese Regiment that sneaked into the base at Cross Ridge. The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army that broke out was transferred to the Sixth Division.

The First Arsenal of Huangyadong took advantage of its own advantages and urgently opened up a batch of new weapons to each subdistrict to respond to the heavy attack of the Japanese army. The Third Regiment received a batch of grenade launchers and grenade ammunition from the 115th Division. Along with this batch of new weapons, there was an emergency transfer order.

To cover the transfer of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Battalion Commander Wu of the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment issued an emergency assembly order. Before that, there were training to deal with sudden situations. In just two hours, the entire battalion had already prepared for the departing, and everything was saved.

After the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Cross Ridge was severely damaged, the Japanese army following and pursuing had reached more than 30,000. It seems that Okamura Yaji would not give up until he was in charge of the Eighth Route Army headquarters. The troops that launched the Black Tiger Heart-to-Head War were the 223rd and 224th Regiment under the 36th Division of the North China Japanese Army, in order to avenge the 222nd Regiment in the Battle of Huangyadong at the end of last year.

The troops covering the transfer of the Eighth Route Army headquarters will inevitably face 30,000 pursuers directly. The transfer of the bloated headquarters organization is obviously not as convenient as ordinary combat troops. A large number of materials and staff without combat capabilities will inevitably put great pressure on the cover troops, and the troops participating in the cover must have the awareness of dying with the enemy.

This battle was unusual. In the previous anti-sweeping, the troops of each sub-district had prepared in advance and formulated detailed combat plans. The troops could cooperate with each other in a timely manner. However, the original focus of the troops of each sub-district was to surround Wei and rescue Zhao to assist the Yizhong base. Thirty thousand Japanese troops suddenly entered the hinterland of the base and attacked the Eighth Route Army headquarters. Without superior command, the troops in various places could not help each other because they could only rely on the main forces of each local area to take turns to meet the Eighth Route Army headquarters. In just two days, several local anti-Japanese armed forces had resolutely crashed into the Japanese army like moths to the flames, and chose to die together with the enemy, and used their lives to win a minute and a second for the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

When the regiment headquarters held a battalion-level cadre meeting, Commander Gu had clearly explained the risks of covering the battle. The Third Regiment not only had to cover the headquarters' transfer, but also tried every means to attract the enemy's main force, leading the Japanese army to leave the original target. The ratio of 10 to 1 enemy-to-me, and the opponent was also elite main combat troops. In isolation, the final result of this battle was almost obvious. But for everyone, the Third Regiment had prepared for a major sacrifice. After the meeting, almost the battalion commanders of the three battalions had wet eyes. Who said that comrades who lived and died together were no more brothers than brothers.

"This time the battle to cover the General Command is the honor of our third regiment and the glory of our second battalion. Because we are the strongest combat force in the first division, this is the affirmation of our combat effectiveness by the superiors. This time the enemy came very fiercely, and the number is several times that of ours. This time the cover mission is also likely to be gone forever. My surname Wu doesn't want to say much, and I don't want to go. Now I can withdraw and stay and follow the division headquarters to transfer. I will never blame him. Comrades who have a wife and no children please stand up and move with the division headquarters together to leave a root for our second battalion." Battalion Commander Wu stood in front of the playground of the camp and made a pre-war mobilization, but his heart was heavy. He was mentally prepared to die in the battlefield, but he couldn't help but feel selfish, wanting to leave some bones and blood for the second battalion.

The second camp was silent, and no one stood up.

"One row after another, Comrade Li Wei, come out!" The camp instructor Xu Yiting glanced at the entire camp and suddenly shouted.

"Li Wei, the leader of the squad, report!" Li Wei stood out of the queue in a reflexive manner, "I'm so fucked!" He wondered, it seemed that he hadn't made a mistake recently, why did he call him another name?

"This is a transfer order from superiors! Comrade Li Wei was specially approved by the Military Industry Department of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to report to Huangyadong Arsenal today and set off immediately!" Xu Yiting took out a piece of paper from the folder and handed it to Li Wei.

Li Wei hesitated to receive the transfer order, took a look, and understood it all in his heart. In the final analysis, although his superiors put himself in the Third Regiment due to his identity, he still considered that the Third Regiment was the old Red Army with the strongest combat effectiveness and the place with the highest survival chance of grassroots bases. Even if he was far away from fighting, it was not as safe as the Third Regiment protected by a large number of veteran soldiers who had experienced many battles at any time. Now the Third Regiment is facing an extremely fierce battle. As a person who has a close relationship with Huang Yadong Arsenal and the Military Industry Department, and who usually enjoys special allowances higher than the original position, it must be a surprise that he was recalled by his superiors to protect him in a special period.
