    Yang Zhen has never concealed his admiration for Dong Ping, a young man who once served as the political commissar of the Anti-Japanese Second Route Army.  [.Com text] Although this so-called young man is still two years older than him in this world, even compared to him in later generations, he is only one year younger.  But Yang Zhen liked the tenacity in his bones.

    Dong Ping is a man of stability but also agility, and he has good skills in both military and political aspects.  Although he is a political cadre, he is also very good at military affairs.  It¡¯s not just about brain work, but also willing to work hard to learn where you are weak.  No matter how tired I was in training, I never missed any of the teaching team¡¯s classes.

    He listens carefully to every class and memorizes it carefully.  He observed every sand table deduction in class extremely carefully.  He was the first among all the cadres in the entire army to learn map surveying.  Nowadays, even Guo Bingxun, who has a professional background, highly appreciates his skill in doing drawings.

    As for other subjects such as military topography, various tactical commands, recognition of flags and bugles, and even radio transmission and reception, as well as the study of the reconnaissance subjects taught by Yang Zhen, no matter which subject, his performance was outstanding.  It is extremely excellent.  In Guo Bingxun's words, given time, he can at least be the chief of staff of an army group.

    He was the first commander in the entire reconnaissance battalion to learn how to calculate artillery density. The speed and accuracy of his calculations were not even worse than those of Ma Qichang, who graduated from the artillery department of the Northeast Lecture Hall.  Now he is quite an all-rounder.  If it weren't for the fact that the reconnaissance camp couldn't do without him now, Yang Zhen would have transferred him to his side as a combat consultant or moved him to other places to stand alone.

    Seeing Dong Ping disappear into the night with one company of reconnaissance troops and one company of combat troops, and the communications squad behind them who were seizing the time to follow their footsteps to set up field telephone lines, Yang Zhen knew that with Dong Ping, this battle would be successful.  The certainty is at least about 60%.

    After Dong Ping left, Yang Zhen did not hesitate at all.  Immediately command the artillery to follow up immediately and launch silently to a high ground 1,500 meters south of Taipingchuan.  This location is about one thousand meters away from the Japanese cordon in Taipingchuan.  it's here.  It can not only exert the best power of various artillery including mortars, but also achieve the maximum suddenness of firepower.

    After the arrangement was completed, Yang Zhen gave orders to Ma Qichang.  As soon as the news came from Dong Ping, they concentrated all their wild mountain artillery and immediately launched fire coverage on Taipingchuan Village.  Yang Zhen prepared a big meal for this small village with only two Japanese squadrons.

    Yang Zhen¡¯s meaning is very clear. I don¡¯t care what¡¯s wrong with Taipingchuan. If the 300 or 400 shells from my more than 30 wild mountain cannons hit it, no matter what you hide there, it will explode to pieces.  Even if you have some tricks, you can't do it.

    According to Yang Zhen¡¯s request, the wild mountain artillery directly under the artillery regiment must fire out all the remaining shells of each cannon except ten shells in the shortest possible time.  However, in order not to affect subsequent combat capabilities, Yang Zhen hesitated and did not allow the mortars of each regiment and battalion that had obtained the best firing range to participate in the bombardment.

    My own artillery shells are all stored at the Liangzi River line.  Only by returning there can the shells be replenished.  If I shoot out all the mortar shells belonging to the regiment and battalion here, I will lose almost all the supporting firepower before the follow-up shells are sent up.

    After the battle on the southern front, not only the shells carried by the wild mountain artillery were consumed more than half.  Even mortar shells consume a lot of money. Once Wang Guangyu or Guo Bingxun is in urgent need of reinforcements, and the supply is unfavorable and the shells are consumed too much, it will be extremely detrimental to subsequent operations.

    So despite some hesitation, Yang Zhen canceled the decision to participate in the mortar war.  He believed that there were more than thirty wild cannons from the direct artillery regiment, and three to four hundred rounds of artillery shells were enough for the two Japanese squadrons gathered in the small Taipingchuan Village.

    Dong Ping moved very quickly.  Two hours after leaving Yang Zhen, he had used the cover of night to eliminate several Japanese security positions.  After cutting off all the phone lines in the village to the outside world, he quickly penetrated into an extremely hidden corner on the edge of Taipingchuan Village.  Here, every move of the Japanese soldiers in the village fell clearly into his eyes.

    Although Taipingchuan Village has an important geographical location, it is less than fifteen kilometers away from Tangyuan County, and it is on the main road from Jiamusi to the west and into the Xiaoxinan Mountains.  But the whole village is not big enough to accommodate two squadrons of Japanese troops.

    Therefore, in addition to Sasaki¡¯s headquarters and some Japanese troops, they occupied the magpie nest and occupied the houses of the people in the village.  Many Japanese soldiers could only live in temporary tents or even camp around campfires.  Although May is about to enter, the weather in Beiman at night is still a bit chilly.  In order to keep warm, many Japanese soldiers in the village lit bonfires.

    He raised his telescope and took a look. There were piles of people gathering in the village, surrounded byAfter watching the movements of the Japanese troops warming themselves by a bonfire, Dong Ping picked up the communications team that had been following him, set up a field phone as quickly as possible, and reported in a low voice the first batch of shooting Zhu Yuan.

    After receiving the report from Dong Ping about shooting Zhu Yuan, Ma Qichang did not hesitate at all. After quickly adjusting the firing range of his artillery, he fired the first batch of shells in the shortest time.  Then, after correcting a very small error according to the data reported by Dong Ping, the shells were shot out as quickly as possible according to Yang Zhen's orders.

    In fact, the first batch of artillery shells fired by Ma Qichang accurately landed on the heads of the Japanese troops in the Taiping River.  Although Dong Ping's calculation of shooting density is a postgraduate study, it is extremely accurate.  As for the subsequent corrections, Dong Ping just wanted to concentrate more artillery shells around the two houses with obvious radio antennas.

    Dong Ping¡¯s most urgent idea now is to smash the Japanese army¡¯s brains as soon as the battle starts.  Therefore, the correction of ballistics was more focused on the Japanese command.

    When the first artillery shell fell in the village of Taipingchuan, Sasaki had just finished talking to Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, the commander of the 4th Division stationed in Jiamusi, and was preparing to ask for Tangyuan County seat again, but found that the phone could not be reached. Sasaki was furious.  Chong Chong ordered the adjutant to immediately send troops to check the line.

    I found that all the phone lines were disconnected, maybe I realized that something was wrong.  Sasaki gave a death order to his adjutant, asking him to find out the cause of the interruption of the phone line as soon as possible, and at the same time ordered the Japanese troops in the village to prepare for battle.

    But it is a pity that Sasaki could not wait for the Kwantung Army headquarters to respond to his request to check whether there were any abnormalities in the secret ammunition reserve in the Northern Manchuria area.  He didn't wait until the adjutant reported to him the reason for the disconnection of the phone line.  What he was waiting for was a series of cannonballs hitting his head.

    I don¡¯t know if Sasaki Toichi has read the almanac today, or if he has checked whether he is destined to commit a crime today. Otherwise, how could he fail everywhere?  First, the two brigades of the South Road as a surprise force were completely wiped out in the Yuntou Lizi area, and then the Japanese troops on the Middle Road and the North Road also had trouble advancing.

    Especially the 24th Regiment in the middle, as the main force, suffered heavy losses under the attack of the opponent's cold guns and mine formations.  Finally, under the full cover of the aviation force, they barely reached the Jianshanzi line.  An infantry brigade used as a bait on the North Road was also besieged by the opponent and could not even cross the Fasi River.

    ??Three ways to suppress the troops, all the troops were wiped out along the way, heavy losses along the way, poor progress along the way, it can almost be said to be a total setback.  Especially in the two Japanese brigades on the southern front, not even one person came back to report the news.  If the aviation force hadn't found out, he might have died without knowing the outcome of the two groups on the southern front.

    In addition, the Kwantung Army suffered large-scale damage from the Haoliang River to Chenming line of the Jiasui Railway built in order to better plunder the resources of the Xiaoxing'anling area and prepare for future wars against the Soviet Union.  This series of losses has almost made Sasaki feel mentally and physically exhausted, and his mind has cast a thick shadow over the prospects of this campaign.

    He personally spoke on the phone with Lieutenant General Zetian Shigeru, commander of the Fourth Division garrisoned in Jiamusi, hoping to receive reinforcements from the Fourth Division when necessary.  It was not that Sasaki lost confidence in a pair of troops participating in the invasion, but that after a series of things happened, he discovered that his rather difficult opponent was no longer Wu Xia Amon.  It can even be described as strong.

    Sasaki, who was mentally and physically exhausted from the successive blows and in a restless mood, rarely got angry at his adjutant who had been with him for many years because of such a trivial matter as the phone line being blocked.

    But before the adjutant who took the order walked out of the courtyard that was requisitioned as the headquarters, he suddenly saw two artillery shells falling from the sky, hitting the house where Sasaki was staying.  Before the adjutant, who was stunned by the sudden blow, could shout out, almost at the same time as the two shells exploded, the entire Taipingchuan Village was already covered by artillery fire.

    It¡¯s not that Dong Ping knew that Sasaki Chuiichi was in this room, it was just that the house chosen by Sasaki Chuiichi as the headquarters was the best building in the entire Taiping River and was the original location of the Taiping River Police Station.  It is also the most obvious target in the entire Taipingchuan Village.  Because in the whole village, this is the only place with brick and tile houses.

    Dong Ping only used this as the reference point for artillery fire because the target here was obvious and the radio antenna was set up in this yard.  I just didn't expect that the first two shells fired by Ma Qichang to rest the ballistic trajectory would unexpectedly land directly on the house where Sasaki was.

    Even if the house Sasaki visited was a brick house, it was only built with ordinary bricks and tiles, not a reinforced concrete structure that could be roofed.??The bombardment of a 75mm field artillery shell.  What's more, he was hit by two shells almost at the same time?

    Under the intensive artillery fire, the adjutant could only lie on the ground, not even daring to raise his head. He watched sadly as his commander and the headquarters house were blown up into the sky.  As for the ending of Lieutenant General Sasaki, the adjutant knew it almost without looking.  No one could escape from the house that was hit by two consecutive shells.

    As soon as Sasaki arrived, he got on the earthen plane that Yang Zhen gave him for free and flew to the west to meet their Amaterasu.  The outcome of the Japanese troops in the village was no better than that of their supreme commander.  They were thrown into chaos under the sudden attack of artillery fire.

    Although these Japanese troops are elite troops.  But Yang Zhen's firing distance was too close.  With a shooting distance of more than a thousand meters, the Japanese soldier had just heard the sound of the shell breaking through the air, and the shell had already hit his head.

    No matter how well-trained the army is, its performance will not be that good when faced with a sudden and intensive artillery attack.  What's more, the brains of the entire Japanese army in the Taipingchuan area were smashed immediately.

    When the Japanese soldiers who were bombed and turned around wanted to escape from the village that had become a hell along the north and south exits of the village, they found that these two paths of survival for the Japanese soldiers in the village had been crossed at some point.  Two heavy machine guns.

    The two Imperial Army-standard Type 92 heavy machine guns, in cooperation with several Army-standard crooked machine guns, used intensive firepower to harvest the lives of all those who wanted to escape the village that was trembling under the artillery fire.

    The Japanese soldiers who wanted to break out and escape from the village that had now become a bloody hell were defeated in large numbers on the way to breakout.  The dense 77-caliber bullets and 65-caliber bullets, almost without aiming, killed all the Japanese soldiers trying to escape in the gate of the group tribe they had painstakingly built.

    As a group tribe planned by the Japanese army in Tangyuan County, Taipingchuan Village, regarded by the Japanese army as the anti-Manchu anti-Japanese base in Tangyuan, is not big, but the walls are very high and strong, and there is a barbed wire fence on top.  In the entire village, there are only two exits in the north and south directions that are not large and can only pass one truck.

    If the two radio antennas of the Japanese army were not too obvious, Dong Ping, who had no choice but to climb a tree to observe the entire village, discovered that the tall wall that could block all sight would have made Dong Ping give up.  All fantasy.

    When Dong Ping sneaked into Taipingchuan Village, it would not have been so smooth if he had not found a hidden dog hole under the leadership of the former Taipingchuan Police Station Puppet Manchukuo policeman who was eager to save his life and atone for his crimes.  The infiltration of this Japanese army in Tangyuan and even the Jiamusi area was registered as a key prevention and control area. At this time, due to the arrival of Sasaki, the group tribe was even more heavily guarded.

    Of course, the reason why this Puppet Manchukuo policeman is so cooperative is not only because he cherishes life and understands that people have to bow their heads under the roof, but also has a huge relationship with the speed machine behind him that never leaves his back.  relation.  As long as he makes the slightest move, the speed machine behind him won't mind beating him into a hornet's nest in a short time.

    The high wall built by the Japanese army around Taipingchuan Village cut off the people's connection with the Anti-Japanese Alliance on weekdays.  But now it also cuts off the hope of survival for the Japanese troops in the village.  Trapped in a cocoon, this sentence is undoubtedly very suitable to describe the Japanese army in the Taiping River.

    Taipingchuan Village is not big, and three to four hundred artillery shells are enough to roll the place back and forth five or six times.  After directing the last few rounds of artillery shells to blow open the village wall, and after the artillery fire completely covered Taipingchuan Village, Dong Ping thought that he no longer needed to correct the trajectory of the artillery, so he quickly withdrew from the village and commanded a reconnaissance company to start the battle.  The formation rushed toward the village along the breach created by the shells.

    Behind them, the regular field company, under the instructions of the flares fired by the two mortars that had moved over, still blocked all the escape routes for the Japanese troops in Taipingchuan Village with intensive firepower.

    In fact, by the time Dong Ping rushed into Taipingchuan Village, the two Japanese squadrons in a narrow range had been bombarded by intensive artillery bombs, leaving less than two squadrons, and almost none of them were uninjured.

    Nearly all the buildings in the village have been razed to the ground by this intensive shelling, and not a single intact house can be found.  On the ground, the broken walls of houses were littered with the broken limbs and arms of Japanese soldiers.

    Although the few remaining Japanese troops have become more powerful, they are still resisting.  But in the face of close combat weapons such as speed machines equipped with a large number of equipment in the reconnaissance company, they had almost no power to fight back.  The only remaining light machine gun with a crooked handle was mounted by the reconnaissance company just before it could fire.A large number of grenades exploded into the sky.

    Dong Ping¡¯s mopping up battle lasted less than half an hour. Except for the captured adjutant of Sasaki Juichi, there was no longer a single living Japanese soldier in Taipingchuan Village.  After Yang Zhen led the main force to approach, the gunfire here had completely subsided.

    Seeing Yang Zhen coming over, Dong Ping, who had already cleaned the battlefield, handed him a Japanese general-level officer's sword, stood at attention and saluted: "Commander, the battle of Taipingchuan has ended successfully. With the cooperation of artillery fire, our army died in battle  Six people, 21 were slightly injured, and two Japanese squadrons were killed. "

    "Except for the captured Japanese major officer, all the other Japanese troops were wiped out, and no one escaped. In addition, in a courtyard outside the village, a Japanese ammunition depot was seized. The specific number is not yet known
