Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 272 Chapter 271, Alternating
After walking for more than 300 days and covering more than 4 miles, they still hadn't reached their destination, and they still needed to walk for another two or three days. This marching speed was really... not slow at all!
You have to understand that they were marching on foot the entire time, and the only horses they had were either carrying supplies or carrying soldiers who were still learning to ride, so they couldn't go fast.

And the key point is that the road they are walking on is all mountainous, not to mention the bumpy roads. They also have to carry 25 rails and various supplies on the march, which is a heavy-duty march, and they can't go fast at all! Strictly speaking, Li Yuexuan's team should be classified as a baggage team.

The team has arrived at Liao County, which was renamed after the general. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Liao County is located in the southern section of the Pingliao Highway. To the south is a passage leading to Panlong Town, and further south it leads to Changzhi City. It is also an important transportation node.

Liao County was constantly seized in the past, resulting in several tug-of-wars, and the Japanese did not occupy it for a long time. However, at this time, Liao County was occupied by the Japanese, and the Japanese also built some strongholds along the western source of the Qingzhang River, extending eastward and westward.

To the west of Liao County is Yushe, to the south of Yushe is Wuxiang, and to the east of these two counties is the front line of Taihang Mountain, with only a few obstacles to pass through. For example, the Zuohuishan obstacle, through which you can enter the east of the front line, which is the destination of Li Yuexuan and his team - Huangyadong Arsenal.

From the perspective of administrative location, Huangyadong belongs to Licheng, but it is deep in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain. The Japanese who have occupied Licheng have no time to take care of these places, because they have to control the transportation lines, and they are really powerless to these villages deep in the mountains. Not to mention anything else, if you want to mobilize troops here, don't even think about it without a brigade...

From a geographical point of view, Huangyadong is located in the south of Liao County, separated by the main peak of Taihang Mountain. It is impossible for the Japanese to mobilize troops from Liao County and fly over the mountain to attack here. It is meaningless when they don't know that there is an arsenal here.

Therefore, the headquarters used this place as the location of the arsenal, which meant that they had made up their mind! Moreover, the current location of the headquarters is near Panlong Town, west of Taihang Mountain, and it is not far from the arsenal, just separated by a mountain. Moreover, during the Anti-Japanese War, the headquarters never went to northwest Shanxi, and the 386th Brigade has always been active in Taihang and Taiyue in southeastern Shanxi. Neither the Independent Regiment nor the New st Regiment could go to northwest Shanxi! Therefore, some writers will not check the information carefully except for holding up the red flag to oppose the red flag and using bravery and suffering to allude to some things.

"So, in his book, Lao Wai used Huangya Cave as the prototype and created a Jiuzhaigou? What is that?" Walking in the valley of the eastern source of the Qingzhang River, Li Yuexuan couldn't help but complain about Lao Wai.

"Ahead is Guaier Town. After passing Guaier Town, we will turn west and then go to Tongyu Town! The most dangerous part now is the journey to the west, because no one knows whether the Japanese will be active in this area? So, Comrade Youshun, you need to be prepared to fight at any time!" Niu Youtian's words interrupted Li Yuexuan's unconventional thinking.

"What did the comrades from the vanguard squad and the special forces company say?" Li Yuexuan asked.

"There are no traces of the Japs in the direction of Jiaozhang Village ahead. They are already heading towards Guyi! As long as there are no Japs in Guyi, we can go all the way south! Now we are more than 60 miles away from our destination, and we can get there in two days!" Niu Youtian was very familiar with the road and spoke directly.

"From here, going south along the river, it's Matan, right?" Li Yuexuan asked casually.

"Yes, last year, Mata also blocked the attack of the Japanese 16th Division! There was also a battle in the direction of Qinquan where we just came. It's just that the Japanese attack this year is more purposeful, so there is no fighting here for the time being! Of course, it may also be related to the fact that we mobilized the Japanese Sakata Regiment! After all, a regiment of Japanese is no small matter!"

As Niu Youtian walked, he analyzed the battle situation for Li Yuexuan. Then, he realized a problem that everyone had overlooked - the results of our battles in the past few days seem to be quite a lot! Well, adding up the results of the battles before and after, there must be about 4000 Japanese soldiers who were annihilated, right? This result will definitely have an impact on the strategic deployment of the Japanese.

Combined with the results of some previous battles, although the Japs' attack this time was effective, the loss of troops was obvious to all. Therefore, the Japs saved people and lost territory... Although the Japs occupied some cities, the loss of troops hindered the Japs' offensive strategy and also consumed the Japs' war potential...

After looking at each other in tacit understanding, everyone continued to move forward. Not long after, they passed Guaier Town and came to the place where two tributaries of the Qingzhang River converged.

From a distance, in the wide river valley, the water of two tributaries, one from west to east and one from north to south, converged in the south valley to form a new river with a wider surface. The midday sun shone on the water, reflecting dots of golden light. The mountain wind blew through the valley, making the riverside more turbulent and the rice in the farmland beside the river more lush and green.

"This is a great place! We can grow rice here..." Niu Youtian exclaimed as he looked at the riverside scenery.

"So, we can also establish a base here, and then we will have a part of the rice production! In the future, when we want to eat rice, we don't have to always think about seizing it from the Japanese!" What Li Yuexuan didn't say was that in a few years, Matan in the south will become the location of the headquarters, and the rice planting area here will indeed increase a lot.

Because there was a possibility of coming into contact with the Japanese, the team only stopped temporarily by the river and then continued to move forward.

When turning west, Li Yuexuan led the soldiers away from the baggage train and quickly went to the old post station.

Fortunately, no Japanese invaders came to Guyi, but the comrades of the special forces company still set up guard posts and blocking lines here to cover the arrival of follow-up troops.

And in this tense atmosphere, the replenishment battalion led by Niu Youtian hurriedly turned south from Guyi and headed towards Tongyu Town.

At this time, a search team of a squadron of the Japanese army went up the Qingzhang River valley in the south and missed the transport team perfectly! So, sometimes luck is really amazing...
