Chapter 11 The Big Sweep (2)
After Li Xinmin settled the troops, he walked into the command room of the regiment headquarters with the regiment commander and others.
"Do you know why you are so anxious to summon you back?" The leader picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water.
"I don't know! Is there something important to happen?" Li Xinmin asked in confusion.
At this time, the political commissar smiled and said, "You kid has made a great contribution now!" Li Xinmin became even more confused when he heard the political commissar's words.
"How did I make a contribution?", "Do you know who the Japanese commander was in the land you killed this time? Do you know what was written in the documents you intercepted?", the political commissar completely confused Li Xinmin after a series of questions.
"Tell you! You caught a big fish this time. One of the Japanese devil officers was Tamura Shinyi, the captain of the Japanese Sakahara Division. Tamura Shinyi had just participated in the Pingxingguan War not long ago. He was injured and recovered from Taiyuan. This time he was shot dead by you on his way to the mission. The information he carried was that the Japanese had just formulated a land combat plan for our Eighth Route Army. This time you intercepted the information in advance so that we could prepare in advance." The political commissar told Li Xinmin one by one the causes and consequences.
"Because of your intelligence, we will not be in a passive situation during combat. Therefore, the head of the headquarters specially proposed to commend you. After discussion by the Youth League Committee, it was decided to appoint you as the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the Special Forces." The leader said.
"Yes! Thank you for your trust in the chief!" Li Xinmin was very excited at the moment. "Who is right away?" Li Xinmin asked then.
"We have seen it just now. Your men and horses are almost catching up with a battalion. Find the men and horses by themselves and equip the weapons by themselves."
"You boy! I'm afraid that a group of people can't take over your equipment now." The political commissar said with a smile.
At this moment, Li Xinmin and the others were celebrating happily. At this moment, the commander of the Third Brigade of the Qin County Japanese Command, Ichiro Hirata was slashing the items in the house with a command knife.
During the battle of Sunjiakou, none of the Japanese were spared. Colonel Tamura Nobuyi was shot dead by the enemy in the military service. These news were unacceptable to Hirata Ichiro. He believed that this was an insult to him. After insulting the troops, he immediately reported the information to Taiyuan. When Taiyuan received the news, he was even more angry and decided to carry out a more cruel sweep of the Eighth Route Army, intending to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army in the base area.
The Japanese army mobilized more than 100,000 people and launched a crazy revenge on the base. The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army ambushed and annihilated more than 500 enemies in Mazhuang. The Sakata United, the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army, rushed from Wuxiang to Mazhuang to rescue, attempting to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army to fight to the decisive battle. After losing the air, he marched towards Yunling, intending to attack the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Lizhuang.
The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army encountered it in Yunling. The two sides fought for a cruel position and suffered heavy casualties. Later, the 386th Brigade successfully evacuated Yunling with friendly forces.
During the battle, the Japanese felt that the villagers in the nearby areas were supporting the Eighth Route Army, which made them feel that the Eighth Route Army's strength was constantly expanding, and then the local sweep was even more crazy. The Japanese army concentrated in each county was divided into several directions. They implemented the policy of burning, killing, and robbing the villages in the Eighth Route Army base area, killing people when they saw them, raped women when they saw them, burning houses when they saw them, and burned 90% of the houses were burned out. The enemy used up all the most vicious methods, caught the little doll, chopped the legs, threw them on stones, and even threw their brains out, pulled out the intestines and hung them on trees. The villagers in the whole village were brutally killed by the Japanese, and all the villagers were killed.
There was not even a burying the corpse! The corpse was abandoned by the Japanese in the village. The corpse gradually rotted and stenched. The wild dogs nearby were infected with viruses because of eating dead bodies and meat, and attacked them when they saw living things. For a moment, the nearby area became a dead area. Faced with the enemy's large-scale sweeping and sudden attacks, the Eighth Route Army's organs turned into pieces to engage in guerrilla and counter-sweeping. They carried out "empty rooms and cleared the fields", buried the food, divided the animals into small groups, and rushed to the mountain. The Japanese burned the house, and the people made dirt holes in the mountains, built thatched tents, and two or three households were in groups. The militia stood guard and stood guard. They found that the enemy fired a shot first, and the people all rushed into the mountain when they heard the gunshots.
The Japanese army used railways and highways as pillars to conduct frequent sweeps against Japanese bases, and attempted to cut off the connections between Taihang, Jin-Cha-Hebei and other strategic areas, and implemented the so-called "cage policy" of "using railways as pillars, highways as chains, and bunkers as locks". Because the Eighth Route Army Headquarters learned of the intelligence in advance, it made a counterattack plan for the "cage policy" of the Japanese land, launched a traffic sabotage war against the Japanese, destroyed the Japanese roads and railway facilities, and gave a powerful blow to the Japanese North China Front Army.
After a long anti-sweeping, the Third Battalion of Li Xin Mindi did not lose much personnel, but instead improved their camp combat effectiveness.
"Battalion Commander! The investigator just came back to report that the headquarters was surrounded by the Japanese, and the large army was fighting fiercely with the main force of the Japanese in the Cangyunling area." Huang Yukai rushed into the command room of the battalion headquarters. Now Huang Yukai is already the company commander. When he came to the command room, he immediately reported to Li Xinmin the information he had just received. Due to the accurate information and Li Xinmin commanded properly, the third battalion successfully broke through the defense line of the Japanese and was resting at this moment.
"Cangyunling?" Li Xinmin immediately opened the map, carefully studied the map, and circled it from time to time.
"Notify all soldiers of the battalion to gather in an emergency!" Li Xinmin raised his head and ordered.
"Battery Commander! The whole battalion is gathered!", "Comrades! Our headquarters and our brothers are surrounded by the Japanese troops in Cangyunling at this moment. What should we do?", "Go to rescue! Kill the Japanese!", "Yes! Our third battalion will not produce cowards! Brothers will never hide when they are in trouble. Now let's go to Cangyunling to support them." Afterwards, Li Xinmin led the troops to quickly head towards Cangyunling.
At this moment, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army killed one column of the first column, and was fighting fiercely with the main force of the Japanese on three hills in the main position of Cangyunling. The Japanese invested more than 7,000 people this time. The Eighth Route Army launched thirteen consecutive attacks and launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese army.
"Battery Commander! The main battlefield of Cangyunling is ahead!" Huang Yukai introduced the situation to Li Xinmin.
"We launched an attack from Yujialing. The terrain is strong on us, so that we can hold our positions. The first and second companies are responsible for attacking the weak points of the Japanese. The third companies build offensives on the high ground and cover the withdrawal of friendly troops." Li Xinmin introduced the action plan.
"Yes!" All three company commanders went back to prepare.
Amid the sound of charge, the first and second companies rushed towards the Japanese fiercely. At this moment, the Japanese were fighting fiercely with the 386th Brigade. Suddenly, the Eighth Route Army's charge came from behind, and then a group of Eighth Route Army rushed over. The Eighth Route Army inside was also confused, but the commander was still awake. He immediately ordered the troops to cover the personnel of the headquarters' headquarters to break out from the site where Li Xinmin and the others attacked. Finally, with the help of one and two companies, he successfully broke out from the surrounding area of the Japanese.
"Brother! Which part of you are?", the soldiers in the protruding siege asked the soldiers in the third camp.
"We are in the first company of the Third Battalion of the Special Forces. Our battalion commander will be there to help you!" the soldier replied.
Seeing the large army breaking through the siege, Li Xinmin knew that he could retreat, but another problem was placed in front of him. The headquarters was very slow to move, so that he could not get rid of the Japanese chasing. If the Japanese did not stop the Japanese chasing, it would not take long before the Japanese could catch up with the headquarters, and then the actions just now were all in vain.
