- Chapter 465 Autumn Harvest and Winter Storage 23
The Japanese troops moving south from the north moved very quickly. Three days later, the Japanese troops moving south along the ninth detachment's defense area arrived at Lengshuipu, a large stronghold east of the Eighth Route Army's First Military Division in Northern Henan.
After this unit commanded by Captain Daozhong entered Lengshuipu, they immediately replenished their supplies and then rested for a night. Early the next morning, the soldiers under his leadership were gathered on the island and rushed to the Hu's shack, where the Eighth Route Army was stationed. A new Japanese raid on the Eighth Route Army began again.
The Japanese are coming, how dare Liu Zhenghong and the others take it lightly? Since the troops led by Captain Daozhong appeared in the sight of the Eighth Route Army intelligence personnel, every move of the Japanese was compiled into intelligence, which was then quickly transmitted to the Hu family shack through underground traffic officers.
The attack on the island was menacing, but he dared to attack the Eighth Route Army with only the few troops he had. When Liu Zhenghong saw the news that the enemy had set off, the "mopping up" force led by the island only had one reinforced squadron of Japanese troops and a large group of puppets. Jun, he couldn't believe his eyes.
The Japanese army traveled a long distance and fought deep into the Eighth Route Army base areas. They did not have any popular base. All food and ammunition supplies had to be carried with them. In this regard, they needed to occupy a certain number of manpower, and they had to be ready to fight at any time. . With only such a small force, the island wants to "mopping up" the Eighth Route Army, which has now established a foothold in northern Henan, and the Eighth Route Army already has nearly a regiment of troops. This is simply a fantasy.
Are the enemies really that arrogant?
Liu Zhenghong had this question in his mind, but he quickly rejected the idea. Liu Zhenghong, who had experienced many bloody battles with the Japanese invaders, never dared to underestimate the enemy. The Japanese are sometimes very bold and appear to be very arrogant, but they are never fools, especially in a military operation as large as the current one. They must make plans before taking action. Their current abnormal performance shows that it is very unusual, and there must be unusual arrangements following it.
The Japanese and puppet troops led by Captain Daozhong quickly entered the Eighth Route Army's defense area. As in previous combat patterns, the first to engage the enemy was the local armed militia of the Eighth Route Army.
The Eighth Route Army has an excellent tradition, which is to mobilize the masses and establish local armed forces. In the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, in addition to the regular army, there are usually local armed forces, such as county brigades, district brigades, and more often militiamen from various villages.
These local armed forces are generally composed of local farmers in the township, and are equipped with certain weapons after training by the Eighth Route Army to form combat effectiveness. Although the armed forces in these places are backward in equipment, they have familiar terrain and excellent mass base, so they are very comfortable in waging guerrilla warfare.
After Liu Zhenghong and others came to Hu's shack, they also actively developed local armed forces. However, because of the shortage of funds, weapons and ammunition, they only established militia squads in each village and did not establish county brigades or district squads directly controlled by the local government. Such a quasi-army.
Militiamen are composed of real farmers. When they pick up their guns, they are soldiers, and when they put down their guns, they are citizens. They understand the current situation best. The Japanese are now launching an attack. In addition to destroying the Eighth Route Army, they will also burn, kill and loot.
It has now entered early winter, and every household has stored food for the winter. The Hu family shack area has always been a barren land. Since the arrival of the Eighth Route Army, a rent and interest reduction campaign has been carried out, which has greatly reduced the direct burden on farmers.
In addition, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army also helped everyone open up wasteland to grow grain, which also greatly increased grain production. Farmers in this area had a bumper harvest this year, and every household finally had some surplus grain. This was a good thing that had never happened before.
Now that the Japanese and puppets are coming to seize food, ten thousand ordinary people will definitely not agree. Therefore, there is basically no need for the Eighth Route Army to mobilize. Those militiamen who have received simple training picked up their guns without saying a word. They want to protect the fruits of their labor and Ensure that your family survives the cold winter.
The first exchange of fire with the Japanese and puppet troops was the militiamen of Dawangzhuang. They opened fire when the Japanese and puppet troops led by the island just entered the area actually controlled by the Eighth Route Army.
Daozhong has been in China for several years, and this is not his first time fighting against the Eighth Route Army. He has a deep understanding of the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare. Therefore, after entering the Eighth Route Army's defense area, Daozhong strictly ordered the troops to strengthen their alert and search forward.
However, no matter how careful the Japanese and puppet troops are and no matter how many scouts they send out, they will still be hit because these militiamen are very familiar with the terrain and they know where to hide people and which way to retreat the fastest.
Those who were attacked for the first time were three scouts sent by the Japanese army. These three scouts stood out in front of the troops as scouts. When they walked into the ambush circle of the militiamen, the militiamen opened fire.
"Pa", "Pa""Pa", the militia's gun rang out!
There is a militia team in Dawangzhuang. This team has a total of fourteen militiamen, but it only has six rifles in total. The rifling of one of the guns is too badly worn and it cannot shoot far and accurately. Although the weapons and equipment were insufficient and old, this did not affect the militiamen's desire to fight. When three Japanese scouts entered their shooting range, the six guns fired a salvo under the command of Zhang, a militia team.
Although the first shooting of the militiamen was concealed and sudden, it may be that the shooting skills of the militiamen were not up to par, or there was indeed a problem with the accuracy of the firearms. This first time the platoon gun did not hit a single Japanese.
The sudden gunshots startled the three Japs, but the combat qualities formed by strict military training immediately took effect on them. The three Japs immediately relied on the favorable terrain to hide, and then they began to hide from the militiamen. to fight back.
The militiamen in Dawangzhuang did not have many bullets. Before the war, each of them was issued a magazine with five bullets. In addition to the ones saved from the past, each gun only had seven or eight bullets, so every shot was Need to budget carefully.
Behind the cover, the three Japs were lying there fighting back. Although there were guns firing from the militiamen, it sounded like there was only one gun firing, which made the three Japs soldiers very strange.
According to the Japanese army's combat practices, in a battle like this with superior troops and superior terrain, they will usually try their best to launch a war of annihilation. However, the Eighth Route Army in front of them only fired at them under extremely favorable circumstances. This is extremely inconsistent with the formal rules. Principles of Warfare.
Although the Eighth Route Army only fired one or two shots from time to time, the three Japanese soldiers did not dare to risk their lives and rush forward. They were just stalling for time, waiting for reinforcements to arrive from behind.
The sudden sound of gunfire meant that the scouts had encountered anti-Japanese elements. He led the team behind the island and did not dare to make a big move. He urged the team to quickly arrive at the location of the gunfire.
Daozhong is a cautious commander, but he cannot be careless. In the Chinese battlefield, Daozhong fought against the Northeastern Army, the Northwest Army, the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army. After comparing with each other, he knew that the Eighth Route Army with the worst equipment was the enemy of the Japanese army. The tactics of the Eighth Route Army were particularly confusing. through.
In fact, not only the locust troops fighting on the front lines on the island know who China's most dangerous enemy is today, but the Japanese base camp in the rear also has a deep understanding, so the base camp has a saying of "not treating the Chongqing army as the enemy, but Declaration that the elimination of the communist army is the top priority."
There was an opponent ahead. The island deployed its troops step by step at the front, and strictly followed the provisions of the "Infantry Drill Code" to launch a tentative attack. Of course, the leader this time was the Imperial Association Army, which was used as cannon fodder.
Under the coercion of the Japanese, the yellow-skinned Imperial Alliance Army suddenly attacked once. When they entered the range of the militia, the militia fired two volleys.
The puppet troops who often deal with the Eighth Route Army are the ones who know their opponents best. They know that the Eighth Route Army is short of bullets. They usually fire volleys for a few times and then throw grenades, followed by a lifeless counterattack. When these experienced puppet soldiers heard the firing of platoon guns from the opposite side, they immediately fell to the ground. Although they shouted "Charge, kill!", their bodies were not willing to move forward at all.
The militiamen¡¯s shooting had some effect this time. They shot and wounded two puppet soldiers indiscriminately. However, the grenades expected by the puppet army did not come over, nor did the Eighth Route Army with shining bayonets rush over from the other side. Instead, the other side became quiet, which surprised them.
When these puppet soldiers cautiously stepped into the militia position that blocked them just now, they found that there was no one there, the fortifications used to block the attack were very crude, and there were not even a few bullet casings on the ground. If someone hadn't been injured by a bullet just now, it would be really hard for people to believe that a battle had just occurred in this quiet place.
"Keep moving forward!" Daozhong knew that it was the Eighth Route Army's small force that was blocking them this time. He was not surprised as he had experienced battles for a long time. After sorting out the formation, Daozhong issued such an order.
The team continued to move forward, but this time they were more cautious, because they had already made their first contact with the Eighth Route Army, which proved that they had truly entered the Eighth Route Army's defense zone. The next battle was likely to happen soon, and it might not necessarily be the same. The militia resistance was on the verge of collapse just now.
As we walked, we entered a place with small hills on both sides and a road in the middle. There were some sparse plants growing on the low hills on both sides. This kind of terrain is very suitable for combat, and it is the kind of battle that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The island suddenly became alert, and he immediately issued an order: "Slow down and search forward!"
In this dangerous zone,The Japanese and puppet soldiers under the island had already lowered their guns and were searching carefully. However, there was no one on the hills on both sides, and the expected blocking battle did not happen!
They really all ran away? Is this base really no longer needed? This idea actually came to Daozhong's mind.
However, this thought did not last long, as a loud noise quickly brought him back to reality.
