The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 439 Xie Baoqing, Xie Baoqing, what are you doing with Li Yunlong? (two)

West Village.

To say that Yan Sanfu, commander of the [-]th Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army, really has a character of doing what he says.

After making up his mind, Yan Sanfu called the platoon leader who used to live around the West Village to lead the way, and led the Eighth Mixed Brigade team, from a hidden small mountain road in the northwest, to the flank of the West Village.

During the Anti-Japanese War, many establishments of the puppet army were quite mixed.

For example, it is not uncommon for a puppet army with less than 1 people to have more than a dozen commanders.

There are also quite a few mixed brigades of this puppet army, some with a strength of four to five thousand people, and some with only a few hundred people. They dare to claim that they are a mixed brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

The Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army is doing pretty well. It used to be a team of the Security Regiment, but when it was pieced together, it became the Eighth Mixed Brigade in front of it.

The organizational system is considered sound. In the beginning, there was even a cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town.

The Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army now has nearly 3000 troops, which is why Yan Sanfu dared to attack Xicun from the flank.

In addition, Yan Sanfu was not a fool to be the commander of the Eighth Mixed Brigade.

Before the attack, Yan Sanfu carefully studied the map of the West Village.

He chose the northwest path through the flanks, not too far from the village head area of ​​Xicun, where the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army was stationed.

Therefore, Yan Sanfu believed quite firmly that as soon as the battle started, the Japanese troops from the Fourth Mixed Brigade would definitely rush over to help. .

That was Yan Sanfu's big backer.

Before the battle officially started, Yan Sanfu convened some of the staff officers appointed by the Eighth Mixed Brigade to discuss the battle plan.

Then a leading scout unit was sent to explore the situation near the West Village from the northwest path.

I have to say that Yan Sanfu was lucky this time, the blind cat met a dead mouse, and stumbled across the small mountain road facing northwest by mistake.

Still in the West Village, the soldiers of the Independence Regiment who were on guard against the Japanese army, as well as local comrades and militia comrades, did not find this uninvited guest.

In addition, the path to the west has been abandoned for many years, and weeds and trees have grown along the way, completely covering the path. People who have not lived in the West Village area will never know the path here.

Even in this attack, the Japanese army did not consider this path at all.

So Kong Jie just arranged some guards on the edge of this path, and didn't take it too seriously.

However, under Yan Sanfu's command, there is a platoon leader who knows this path.

After Yan Sanfu arrived with the puppet army team, he immediately sent a team with bayonets to forcibly re-open the northwest path.

Then gradually touch the West Village flank.

The journey along the way made Yan Sanfu feel excited and full of ambition.

"What is wisdom? This is wisdom. We, Yan, penetrate directly from the flanks and open up mountain roads, and we will definitely be able to hit the eight roads by surprise."

……

"Reporting sir, no large-scale Eighth Route Army troops have been found in the village, but there are some militiamen dressed in civilian clothes, and some guerrillas that look like the Eighth Route Army."

"We estimated that there are only less than 200 people in the team."

"There is less than one platoon of regular combat troops of the Independent Regiment."

"The Eighth Route Army just left some sentries on the edge of this small mountain road to guard, and there is no other means of defense other than that."

The scouts returned and reported to Yan Sanfu what they had detected on the flank of the West Village.

Adjutant Wang Dacong said: "Traveler, God help us, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"According to intelligence, the Imperial Army of the [-]th Mixed Brigade is now trapped in the village head area of ​​Xicun, and the surrounding retreat nodes have also been blocked by the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment with the help of fortifications.

This is our chance to give charcoal in a timely manner.

As long as we can successfully open the passage here, we will find a way out for the Imperial Army of the Fourth Brigade.

At that time, the imperial army will definitely cooperate with us inside and outside, and quickly break out from the northwest to the trail. "

What a reasonable analysis, in the eyes of these puppet soldiers, the Japanese army's advance cannot be stopped by the Eighth Route Army after all.

Yan Sanfu was overjoyed and said: "Okay, tell the fifth and sixth regiments to go first and find an opportunity to launch an attack."

"Yes! Traveler, I'll give you an order right now." Wang Dacong replied.

And what happened to the fifth and sixth regiments?
You must know that the eighth mixed brigade of the puppet army has only about [-] soldiers. If it is really divided into six regiments, each regiment may have less than [-] troops.

It turned out that Yan Sanfu played a clever trick by declaring to the outside world that he had six infantry regiments under his Eighth Mixed Brigade.

But in fact there are only the first regiment, the fifth regiment and the sixth regiment, and each regiment only has more than a thousand people, but it is just to scare people.

It seems that his eighth mixed brigade is strong and strong.

……

The battle quickly kicked off.

For the puppet troops of the [-]th Mixed Brigade who used bayonets to cut through the weeds, thorns, and trees all the way, and drilled out from the northwest to the small road, the soldiers of the independent regiment stationed in the West Village area, as well as the local troops and militia comrades, it was indeed unexpected. and.

I didn't expect these two devils to be so bold and fight so hard.

You said these traitors, with a salary of tens of dollars a month, what kind of life are they playing?
The Puppet Army of the Eighth Mixed Brigade has a lot of troops. If the equipment at hand is compared with the Eighth Route Army troops with outdated conventional equipment and scarce ammunition, although the whole team is not equipped with artillery because of the devil's distrust, it is quite Not bad.

Before the battle started, Yan Sanfu also solemnly issued the combat deployment:
"After crossing the trail from the northwest to enter the West Village, the Fifth Regiment rounded to the left, and the Sixth Regiment rounded to the right. They quickly set up light machine guns for me and suppressed the Eighth Route Army troops in the village with firepower."

"After eliminating the Eighth Route Army in the village, immediately build fortifications on the spot to buy time.

And send troops to inform the [-]th Mixed Brigade in the village head area, and tell Yamaguchi-kun that our [-]th Mixed Brigade penetrated into the West Village from the flank, repelled the Eighth Route Army defending the West Village, and opened a passage to break out, please fourth The imperial army of the mixed brigade moved quickly. "

"Yes!"

...A large number of puppet troops suddenly appeared, and the firepower of the burst light machine guns was quite strong.

Zhao Dazhong, the platoon leader of the No. 17 Company of the Independent Regiment in charge of stationing in the West Village area, immediately got the news that a large number of puppet troops had rushed from the flank of the West Village.

"It's broken. It probably came in from the northwest mountain road."

Platoon Leader Zhao, who came back to his senses, thought something was wrong.

"Platoon leader, there are too many puppet troops here, and they have a lot of machine guns on hand. All our sentry comrades who were in charge of guarding the northwest path were sacrificed."

"These puppet troops suddenly pressed in, and our soldiers stationed in the village were forced to retreat."

Platoon Leader Zhao nodded, with a serious expression on his face: "What I'm worried about now is that the puppet army suddenly penetrated from the northwest to the small road. Will it have any connection with the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army? If the Japanese army at the village head unites If the intruding puppet army fights, the defense of our West Village may be in danger."

The third squad leader said anxiously: "Platoon leader, what should we do now? Right now we only have one platoon of troops, plus local comrades and militia comrades, there are less than 200 people, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it."

Platoon Leader Zhao shouted: "If you can't stop it, you have to stop it, buy time for the regiment leader, right now the devils are being besieged by us at the head of Xicun village, if we let the devils beat us and run away, you and I can't afford it." responsibility."

"Tell comrades, get ready for a deadly battle, and use the defensive layout in the village to hold back this group of puppet troops."

"In addition, the third squad leader, find a way to catch someone alive, and ask clearly the origin and purpose of the puppet army on the opposite side, and whether it has any connection with the devils at the village head of Xicun."

"After the news investigation is clear, immediately report the situation to the regiment headquarters through the phone number of the temporary headquarters."

"Yes!"

……

Niukou Village.

In the Independent Regiment Headquarters, Kong Jie soon received the news.

Du Aiguo, commander of the Fifth Battalion, is in charge of the defense of the West Village node. At this moment, the temporary headquarters of the West Village is in charge of the Fifth Battalion instructor Li Wenjie.

Li Wenjie reported on the phone: "Commander, a group of long-lived men captured the puppet army and asked about the situation. This team is the eighth mixed brigade of the puppet army. I don't know what method they used to find the Northwest Army. The small road in the direction, and then interspersed all the way in."

"This puppet army and the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army at the village head of Xicun probably didn't say hello in advance. When this puppet army came in, the Japanese army at the head of the village didn't have any timely response."

Kong Jie asked puzzledly, "The Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army, why does it sound so familiar?"

Since the eighth mixed brigade of the puppet army was stationed far away from Niukou Village, and the value of lurking in it was not high, the enemy industry department of the independent regiment did not infiltrate the eighth mixed brigade of the puppet army.

That's why, this time, the [-]th Mixed Brigade quietly touched the small mountain road to the northwest, but the independent regiment didn't get any news.

Li Wenjie said: "Regimental Commander, do you remember the cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town? That cavalry battalion belongs to the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army."

"I remembered." Kong Jie suddenly realized, "Are these two devils here to seek revenge on us?"

"Wenjie, in the direction of Xicun, how about the casualties of the platoon leader?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and Li Wenjie reported: "Commander, this puppet army is quite large, estimated to be two to three thousand people, suddenly came in from the west side of the road, and the soldiers were caught off guard.

A long line, as well as comrades from the county brigade and the militia, have so far suffered more than [-] casualties.

A platoon leader is leading the comrades to defend the West Village, and the fortifications in the village are still in our hands. "

More than eighty people...

This is not just a number, in Kong Jie's eyes, it is more than 80 living lives.

It was even sacrificed at the hands of these two devils.

The spontaneous anger filled Kong Jie's heart in an instant.

Captain Kong's voice on the phone suddenly became icy cold, which even made Li Wenjie on the other end of the phone shudder suddenly.

"Notify the first platoon leader to immediately lead all the troops to retreat and throw the fortifications to the eighth mixed brigade of the puppet army. No one of our soldiers can stay in the position area."

Although Li Wenjie was a little puzzled by the sudden order, he still responded without hesitation: "Yes!"

Snapped--

After hanging up the phone, Kong Jie with a gloomy face strode to the door and called, "Communication soldier."

"To!"

"Notify the mountain cannon company quickly, tell the howitzer, let him lead the soldiers of the mountain cannon company and all the artillery, and rush westward at a rapid speed. I only give him 10 minutes, and I will delay it for an extra minute. I, the company leader of the mountain cannon company, directly Fetched him."

"Once the 10 minutes are up, the full firepower will directly cover the fortification area at the intersection of Xixiang Xiaoshan Road and Xicun, and there is no need to save shells."

"Without my order, the artillery fire continued."

Sensing the anger in these words erupted from the commander's chest, the signal soldier didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly responded: "Yes!"

The news quickly spread to the Mountain Pao Company.

The howitzer also heard about the situation in the direction of Xicun at this time, and the howitzer shivered when it received the news.

The platoon leader on the side said: "Company commander, since the establishment of our mountain artillery company, the regimental commander has never issued such an order."

"Full firepower coverage, shells are not counted, who made the commander angry?"

Howitzer looked in the direction of Xicun, swallowed, and said with a sympathetic look, "Who else is there, the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army that belonged to the Cavalry Battalion of Wanjia Town back then.

You said, who is not good to offend these two bastards who don't have long eyes? Why did they offend our independent regiment?

Is the anger of our regiment leader easy to bear?
Isn't this a typical birthday star who hangs himself and thinks he has a long life? "

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. I, the company commander, want to continue working! Pass my order. This time, our entire company will participate in the battle. All artillery will be sent to the direction of Xicun quickly. In order to ensure accurate strikes, the range will be controlled at 800 meters. within distance."

"Yes!"

……

West Village, at the intersection of the west-facing Xiaoshan Road and the flanks of the West Village.

"Platoon leader, why did you withdraw? If we withdraw, the fortifications will definitely be occupied by the puppet army. If the little devils take the opportunity to break in again..."

The platoon leader Zhao Dazhong looked at the puppet army that continued to advance, with anger in his eyes. The puppet army's sudden surprise attack caused many casualties among the soldiers defending the West Village.

At this moment, Platoon Leader Zhao wished he could kill all these two devils.

Facing the general commander's hesitation, Zhao Dazhong shouted: "Stop complaining, just hold back if you can't figure out anything, the order is from the commander, and immediately notify all soldiers to retreat quickly, and the machine gunners and artillery fire cover."

"Yes!"

Following the order of the platoon leader Zhao Dazhong, the team quickly retreated from the west to the intersection of Xiaoshankou and Xicun.

And all of this, in the eyes of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army, means that the Eighth Route Army lost and retreated!
"Lu Zuo, you are really good at commanding. The Eighth Route Army team on the flank of the West Village has been completely repelled by us."

News came from the front that the attacking team had occupied the fortifications in the intersection area.

Adjutant Wang Dacong flattered him.

Yan Sanfu laughed and said: "You are so clever, you see! What kind of nonsense independent group, everyone has blown him up like a god, how is it now? In Yan's opinion, it is nothing more than that, isn't it still being mixed into the eighth brigade by us?" Beaten down?"

"Give me an order to quickly occupy the fortifications of the Eighth Route and reinforce the fortifications to prevent the Eighth Route from coming back again.

Waiting for the imperial army team of the [-]th Mixed Brigade at the village head to join us and transfer from the west to the mountain road. "

"Yes!"
