    Yang Zhen's telegram to stop Wang Guangyu's next move was very simple. It only contained two sentences. The first was to order Wang Guangyu to end the war on the front line of Wang Guangyu's camp as soon as possible.  [.Com text] The second is to tell him directly that the regiment will return to the organizational structure immediately after defeating the enemy in Fuguitun.  The additional troops allocated to the 1st Brigade at the same time will arrive later with the 1st Regiment.

    Looking at Yang Zhen¡¯s telegram, Wang Guangyu immediately understood that this was the commander¡¯s next big move and he didn¡¯t dare to mess around.  In addition to handing over Sugino Yan's remaining troops to the Second Regiment, he honestly stopped and made temporary adjustments within his own unit before additional troops arrived.

    Originally, Wang Guangyu thought that with the existing two battalions of the Second Regiment, it would be impossible to catch the snails with three fingers by eating up the remnants of less than two squadrons of Japanese troops currently trapped in the small village of Wang Shazitun.  Pinch?  He did not expect that Ma Fengqi, the commander of the Second Regiment, would be extremely unlucky.

    Compared with the villages in the pass, Wang Shazitun¡¯s scale is indeed not large.  But this village is a larger group of tribes formed by the residents of the entire western mountainous area of ????Tangyuan who were relocated after the Japanese army adopted the settlement system and merged households.  In order to cut off the connection between the people and the Anti-Japanese Alliance activities in the western mountainous area of ????Tangyuan, the Japanese army built a tall and strong wall here.

    As an outpost to block the resistance, it is different from other group tribes made of rammed earth.  The wall of Wangshazitun is entirely made of large pieces of granite poured into concrete.  Not only tall, but extremely strong.  The ninety-millimeter mortar shells hitting it were like scratching an itch.

    In addition to strengthening the powerful direct-aiming artillery, the infantry artillery and light and heavy mortars equipped by the second regiment have limited lethality against this wall.  Moreover, the Japanese army has less than two squadrons. Although its strength is definitely not large, it only refers to combat soldiers or even infantry alone.

    But its firepower is not thin, not only the number of machine guns and grenade launchers is large.  Especially the heavy machine guns, there are as many as twelve.  And it has always been the location of Sugino Yan's headquarters, and the ammunition reserves here are also extremely sufficient.  There's nothing wrong with sticking to it for at least three days.

    Relying on solid fortifications, a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and a tenacious will to resist.  At this time, the remnants of the Japanese army that had all retreated into Wangshazitun Village gave Ma Fengqi and his second team a solid lesson in what it means to attack difficulties.

    Originally, Ma Fengqi did not regard the Japanese soldiers who had retreated into Wangshazitun as a piece of cake.  In Ma Fengqi's view, the Japanese army in front of him is indeed very powerful, but when its main force has been eaten up, how much trouble can the defeated soldiers with less than two squadrons left cause?  His being too careless also affected his troops.  The Second Regiment launched the attack without even carefully surveying the terrain.

    The result of Ma Fengqi's carelessness was that he was hit hard in the head with a stick, and this stick beat the second group to a bloody head.  The first company to launch the attack had already been completely wiped out by the Japanese army in front of Wang Shazitun. On the almost unprotected area, it was hit by more than ten light and heavy machine guns from the Japanese army, as well as those who were moved onto the wall.  Four infantry guns fired intensively.

    A fully loaded infantry company, without even touching the edge of the wall, was forced to retreat with two-thirds of its casualties.  The number of people who retreated, including those who were injured, was only about fifty.

    Seeing that his entire infantry company was crippled without even exerting any effort, Ma Fengqi's eyes turned red and he cursed in distress.  But if you scold your mother, you must scold your mother. Problems will eventually have to be solved.  Just scolding here will not solve any problem.

    After calming down, Ma Fengqi raised his binoculars and carefully observed the Japanese deployment in Wangshazitun. Only then did he realize how big a mistake he had made in underestimating the enemy. At the same time, he felt lucky that he was among the first wave of attacks.  Not many troops were invested.

    The Japanese army invested 80% of the troops on hand that could be put into battle on the wall, and 100% of heavy weapons were invested.  Coupled with the well-trained Japanese army's precise marksmanship, the entire Wangshazitun is now like a hedgehog spitting tongues of fire everywhere.

    The thickness of the walls of Wang Shazitun is obviously different from those of the group tribes he has fought before, although it is not made of reinforced concrete.  But it's obvious that those large granite stones are no worse than concrete.  The ninety-millimeter mortar shells tickled me when I hit them.  Even if a 120mm mortar shell is fired, it will not have much effect.  Where is this wall?  It can almost compete with the city walls of those small counties in the pass.

    Ma Fengqi, who lacked direct-aiming artillery, hesitated for a long time, but still hung up a phone call to Wang Guangyu, hoping to get support from the field artillery battalion that the pre-war headquarters had strengthened for the 1st Brigade.  Although this wall is formidable,Bullets can't do anything, but in front of the 75mm field artillery, although it can't be like paper, it will no longer be indestructible.

    Wang Guangyu¡¯s reply made Ma Fengqi feel as if a basin of cold water had been poured from head to toe.  The artillery shells of the field artillery battalion reinforced by the headquarters have been exhausted in the previous battle.  Now before new supplies are sent from the headquarters, this field artillery battalion is already out of a single shell.

    Although Wang Guangyu¡¯s words were tactful, the meaning was clearly expressed.  He told Ma Fengqi that if the Second Regiment wanted to take down the fire hedgehog, they had to find a way on their own.  Don't even think about artillery support.  At least until new supplementary artillery shells are delivered from the headquarters, it will be impossible to support artillery fire like in the battles of the past few days.

    Putting down the phone in his hand, Ma Fengqi, knowing that there would be no more artillery support, looked back at the surrounding walls that could kill people at any time, but he felt a headache.  Without the support of artillery fire, how many people would have to be added to the wall to take it down?  Think more about it?  how to think?  You can't bite that stone wall that's as tall as two people with your teeth, right?

    ??Looking at Ma Fengqi, who was like a vicious wolf trapped in a room, with red eyes stroking back and forth.  At the request of Yang Zhen, as one of the political cadres newly transferred from the pass by the central government.  Selected from the 129th Division of Yang Zhen's old army, he served as deputy director of the regiment political office and instructor of the main battalion when he was in the Red Army.

    As a veteran political worker, Huang Guanglie, who replaced the former Political Commissar of the Second Regiment who was transferred to the Propaganda and Education Section Chief of the Political Department of the Military Region at this time, and served as the political commissar of the Second Regiment, was very stable.  He smiled and said: "Lao Ma, don't be too anxious. Think about it carefully, and there will eventually be a way."

    Having said this, Huang Guanglie pondered for a while and said: "During the Long March, because we had lost all our heavy weapons, we could only use our brains to think more when attacking the enemy. Without the support of heavy weapons, this battle would not be fought at the right time.  We have to fight. Does it mean that we won¡¯t be able to fight without the support of heavy weapons?¡±

    "I just took a look. This group of devils is very cunning. When they reduced their forces, they cleared the entire three hundred-meter radius around the village. There was not even a tree left for us. If we want to launch a  Attack, with such intensive Japanese firepower, it would be difficult to pass the three hundred meters distance."

    "However, it is difficult to pass through on the ground, but it is not necessarily impossible underground. Without the firepower of direct-aimed artillery to help us blow up this wall, don't we still have explosives distributed and seized by our superiors on hand? We can use explosives to blow it up  The explosives on that wall might as well be bigger, even if they can¡¯t kill them, they can still stun them.¡±

    Hearing this, Ma Fengqi looked at the political commissar who was still unfamiliar to him, and said with some confusion: "How to go underground, maybe we have to drill a mouse hole. My political commissar, don't say there is no one, even if there is really one now  Even people our size can¡¯t get through this mouse hole.¡±

    After hearing Ma Fengqi's words, Huang Guanglie smiled and crouched down, asked for the kettle from the guard beside him and placed it on the ground. Then he used a branch to draw a big circle outside the kettle, then placed a little more emphasis on the outside of the circle and said: "Captain, look  This is Wang Shazitun, and this circle is the area that the Japanese have cleared. This is our position."

    "That is to say, the straight-line distance between us and the Japs is only three hundred meters. If we dig a few tunnels at our current location, we can dig directly under the Japs' walls and place explosives. If we don't have enough time, we don't even need to dig.  A fully concealed tunnel, as long as one person is tall enough to cover our attacking troops."

    "The Japs' light and heavy machine guns are all set up on the wall that is more than two people high. As long as we go underground, it will be difficult for the Japs' firepower to hit us. Even if our mortars cannot collapse the wall, the covering troops can't.  Just dig in. Besides, we can also light something to cover the troops with smoke."

    Having said this, Huang Guanglie said: "Old Ma, our troops are much better now than when we were on the Long March. Everyone has enough bullets. The number of light and heavy machine guns in your regiment is incomparable to even the best brigade in the pass.  There are also light and heavy mortars, infantry artillery, grenade launchers, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc. This is something that neither the previous Red Army nor the current 18th Army dared to think about.  I¡¯m afraid the Second Route Army has never thought about it, right?¡±

    "But what the brigade commander just said is right. The troops and equipment have come up, which is a good thing. But we must not develop the habit of relying on firepower to solve everything. We are not that generous. We do not have enough support in military industry capabilities.  We must change this habit before. We cannot fight without the cover of artillery fire."

    Ma Fengqi didn't listen to Huang Guanglie's preaching words at all, but the novel tactics in front aroused his great interest.  This political commissar justIt had only been a few days since the appointment, and although the two parties were not yet familiar with each other, Ma Fengqi could tell that his new partner was definitely not a simple person.  At first glance, he appears to be a battle-hardened character.  If you don't come up with this, give yourself a surprise.

    The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the idea proposed by Huang Guanglie was very likely to be realized. After thinking about it for a long time, Ma Fengqi stood up and patted the dust on his hands and said: "Political Commissar, I think your method is feasible. But what we have now is  There is a shortage of wood, and it is too late to find it now.

    "I think we can just create a few semi-hidden trenches one person deep, three hundred meters away, deploy a few companies and directly affiliated engineering companies, and I think we can definitely dig under the Japanese wall before dark. At the same time,  Two heavy machine guns and a mortar were deployed at the rear of each trench to suppress the grenades and machine guns of the Japs."

    After that, Ma Fengqi called over the three battalion commanders and several direct company commanders of the regiment, and directly used the formation that Huang Guanglie had set up to divide the three battalions into one area and said: "Spread your three battalions evenly for me to advance together, one  Even a tunnel. The engineer company has prepared explosives for me and distributed 500 kilograms to each battalion. "

    "At the same time, light and heavy machine guns and mortars were sent to me in advance to suppress the Japanese firepower on the wall. I must ensure the safety of the troops' excavation. The political commissar is right, your mortars cannot blow up the wall.  Is it possible that even the enemy fire on the wall can¡¯t be suppressed?¡±

    "This time there is no distinction between main attack and assist. The company that digs under the wall first and blows up the wall first will be the main attack. This time I can't sell the iron. ***, one regiment can't connect two squadrons of devils.  If we can¡¯t eat it, how can we have the face to meet people?¡±

    Ma Fengqi¡¯s change of tactics made Colonel Yan Sugino dumbfounded.  When the opponent made such a move, they all went underground, making all his light and heavy machine guns and other direct-aimed firepower instantly useless.  The only grenade that only had time to fire a few rounds was either shot into the sky by the opponent's mortars that had been aimed long ago, or was beaten to death or disabled by the opponent's snipers.

    Looking at the tunnels his opponents were entering more and more, Colonel Sugino broke into a cold sweat instantly.  If he still doesn't find a way to stop his opponent's actions, at this rate, they will be able to hit him right in front of him before it gets dark.  But apart from mobilizing troops to attack, Colonel Sugino couldn't think of any other way.

    Gritting his teeth, Colonel Yan Sugino, who really couldn't think of a countermeasure, dispatched two infantry squads and rushed out, trying to destroy the opponent's tunnel fortifications.  It's just that the opponent's firepower has already been aimed. As soon as the gate of his side of the village is opened, the opponent's light and heavy machine guns mixed with mortar shells sweep over like a violent storm.  Before the two teams even approached the tunnel, they were beaten back.

    Seeing that the two teams that were fully staffed when they set off, but only less than half of them came back, Sugino Yan completely gave up the idea of ??destroying the opponent's tunnel fortifications.  He knew that his opponents were now eager to leave their fortifications and fight with them head-on.  As soon as you break away from the existing fortifications, your opponent will calmly eliminate you.

    In desperation, Yano Sugino could only increase his firepower and tried every means to use firepower to stop his opponent from implementing this extremely shameless and devoid of bushido-like tactics.  But no matter how many machine guns there are, the bullets fired will not turn, and the ability to stop the opponent is really limited.  The Japanese soldiers on the wall watched little by little as their opponents almost calmly dug the tunnel right under their noses, but they were unable to do anything.
