Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 290 Chapter 289, With smoke bombs, it is easy to attack the stronghold

It's not surprising that the Japs are asking for help. What's strange is that the Japs were able to make a phone call for help!
What's the problem? It's a big problem! Because when the Eighth Route Army attacked the base, they would usually cut off the communication between the base and the outside world. In addition to the radio station, basically all the telephone lines that can be seen will be cut off. And the cut telephone lines can also be brought back to the base for their own use.

This time, even the commander in the Japanese stronghold did not expect that they could make a call directly to the nearest independent mixed brigade 9. You know, in the past when they were attacked, they needed a radio to get in touch with the upper level.

However, the Japanese had no time to think about this problem! Because the Japanese had lost their basic combat capabilities due to the smoke, such as not being able to aim accurately when shooting or bayoneting, the Eighth Route Army's attack went smoothly. They quickly attacked the office of the Japanese defenders and killed their commander.

Therefore, the last sound that the operator of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade heard through the phone was a scream amid the sound of gunfire.

Although there was no one on the other end of the phone, and the call was hung up immediately, the operator of the 9th Brigade knew that the Nanguan stronghold had been captured. So he quickly reported to the brigade commander, reported to the military headquarters, and called the strongholds adjacent to the Nanguan stronghold to ask them to reinforce...

The situation on the Japanese side did not escape the detection of the Eighth Route Army at all! The messages transmitted by the Japanese radio station were intercepted and someone would decipher them, so naturally someone would monitor the line where the Japanese made calls. At this time, monitoring the phone was really simple. Just take a phone and connect it to the line. As long as you are not discovered by the Japanese, you can monitor it all day long.

Of course, the Japanese will also find our telephone lines to monitor them, and this is mutual.

After monitoring the Japanese's call to mobilize troops, the soldier in charge of monitoring decisively put down the phone in his hand and waved to his comrades. Then, not far away, a soldier climbed up the electric pole swiftly, used his legs to stabilize his body, grabbed the top of the pole with one hand, and pulled out a pair of pliers from his waist with the other hand, and cut the Japanese's telephone line with a click.

"Okay, let's get started. All the telephone lines along the way are ours!" The soldier who cut the telephone lines slid down the pole and called on his comrades to carry out the next activity together.

I saw them moving continuously up the mountain, winding up the telephone wires as they walked, and when they came across a telephone pole, someone would go up and remove the wires...

The telephone line issue was just a small matter. After all, they were not the protagonists today. Outside the South Gate, looking at the plaster flag that had been thrown off the turret, Captain Guo felt a little uncomfortable.

"Captain, when we attacked Nanguan last month, although we did take it down, we also suffered dozens of casualties, and we mobilized more troops than today, and it took a long time... So?"

Listening to the deputy commander's question, Commander Guo took over the conversation and said, "So, today ended so quickly, and there were not many casualties. This shows that the smoke bomb is really effective! If used properly, it can save a lot of trouble! Well, now that the stronghold has been taken, report to the brigade commander and let the brigade know the situation. Next, let's go pack up, there are a lot of supplies in the stronghold."

"The political commissar has already reported! I mean, don't you have any ideas?" the deputy head asked. "Of course I do! We think we can make a fortune this time, and we will have the confidence to speak to Minister Zhang! So, we should apply for more of these smoke bombs, it should be no problem!"

After they finished speaking, the two partners smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

In the Nanguan stronghold, the Japanese puppet troops had been killed, and the plaster flag dropped from the artillery tower was picked up and taken away. It is said that the plaster on this plaster flag has some healing effect, and it is probably used as a dog-skin plaster. Of course, this does not hinder the fact that the plaster flag is a large piece of cloth, and it is still good to use it as a shoe insole.

"Company commander, we found it! The laborers are all locked up here!" In the stronghold, the soldiers found the detained railway construction workers and shouted excitedly.

"Comrades, don't be afraid, we are the Eighth Route Army, we are here to rescue you! Don't panic, it's okay, don't be afraid..." Seeing the laborers being uncomfortable with the chili smoke, soldiers quickly came up to calm them down. Fortunately, these laborers were captured by the devils from all over the place, and they knew what the pungent smell of chili was, so they were not worried about their lives.

Well, it was just that the smoke made them feel uncomfortable, but there was nothing wrong with them otherwise. And this physical discomfort was nothing to them who were whipped, bayoneted, and hit with rifle butts all day long.

Some people may wonder why the laborers were not building the railway but were instead in the stronghold? Because the Japanese engineers also needed to rest and prepare building materials, so the laborers were locked up in the cells.

Of course, this is not important anymore. What is important is that the stronghold was taken down at a very fast speed. Then it was time to plunder the spoils! The first thing to do was to clean the bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers, and then throw the bodies aside. After all this was done, the laborers also recovered and just helped to move the supplies from the Japanese warehouse out and take them away.

There are more than 1000 laborers and more than large livestock here. This is the ready-made labor force! With them, the Japanese cotton coats, quilts, food, explosives, cement, wires, telephone lines, construction tools, rails waiting to be laid, sleepers under the rails... In short, there are too many things to be transported away!

"I didn't expect the stronghold to be taken down so quickly! Send a telegram to the 772nd Regiment, and ask them to transfer two companies from the first battalion to the north and two companies from the second battalion to the south, to support the blocking positions at Beiguan and the watershed respectively! In addition, ask other places to report the current enemy situation! The Japs have already issued an order for reinforcements, so tell them to be ready to block the enemy and report immediately if there is any situation! We will never let go of the good stuff captured this time!"

Time is always moving forward. At the same time node, different things are happening at different spatial nodes.

Just when the Japanese plaster flag was picked up and was about to be cut into insoles, the Japanese in Beiguan, Fenshuiling and Laiyuan Town received orders to reinforce. The Japanese who received the order naturally did not dare to neglect it, and each of them mobilized half of their troops from their strongholds and rushed to the Nanguan stronghold as quickly as possible to reinforce.

Just when the telegram from the brigade arrived, Li Yuexuan had already seen the Japanese soldiers from Laiyuan Town coming out!
