Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 407 Chapter 406, How about taking over a county town?
The special forces soldiers could not hear the voices on the mountain and were meticulously completing the final work.

Puff, puff...swish...the familiar rhythm, the familiar sound, after the fierce and continuous bombardment, unexpectedly has a sense of peace and quiet in it.

As the special forces soldiers roamed around the battlefield, stabbing each of the Japanese soldiers who were either lying prone, lying on their backs, or with their bodies twisted, the bloody smell on the battlefield became even heavier.

Buzz, buzz, buzz... Groups of flies, after realizing that there was no danger, flew in from afar, stopped on the "fat" blood food, sucked, and reproduced, as if this was the meaning of their existence. And their behavior also brought a lot of trouble to the special forces, it was so annoying!

On Lion's Head Mountain, looking at the special forces who were still finishing off the enemy, Captain Kong finally responded as he should: "What are you still standing there for? What if the comrades from the brother units get tired? First Battalion Commander, where are your grandma's legs? Go help finish off the enemy and clean up the battlefield!"

Hearing Captain Kong emphasize the words "clean up the battlefield", the battalion commander understood what he meant and led the battalion down the mountain to finish off the Japanese and collect some spoils of war.

"Haha, Lao Kong, you are so narrow-minded!" At this time, the commander of the 769th Regiment, Zheng, arrived at the position of the 14th Regiment on Lion's Head Mountain and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that the Beishan guerrillas are famous for giving away money? How can they be interested in these spoils of war at the foot of the mountain? Wait, they are all ours! At most, they will take some ammunition to replenish the consumption in the battle."

"I know they are money-giving boys, but I also know that they are acting with the Independent Regiment this time! What do you think would happen if Li Yunlong knew about this?" said Captain Kong.

"I...how could I have forgotten about this lunatic! Haha, let's pick them up first and send them back to the brigade headquarters, and let the brigade commanders decide. Hahaha...The Japanese in Yangquan City should have been almost wiped out this time, right? What do you think about us attacking the county town?" Commander Zheng pointed in the direction of Yangquan and said, "This is the headquarters of the Japanese independent mixed brigade, and it's also an important railway station!"

"Attack the county town?" Upon hearing what Captain Zheng said, Captain Kong was stunned for a moment, and was a little dazed for a moment. Yes, attack the county town, this was something he had never thought of before, but what about now?

"It's not impossible to attack the county town! According to the enemy's troop deployment, the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade has a total of more than 5000 people, occupying at least 7 county towns, as well as strongholds around railways and highways. The troops are too dispersed! And now, Shouyang and Yuci in the west are cut off, and the reinforcements from Ping'an County and Xiyang County in the south have not arrived. In the east, there is an independent regiment and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region's 18 infantry regiments, a cavalry regiment, two cavalry battalions, and 5 guerrilla detachments..."

"So, we have a great chance! As long as the 386th Brigade in the south can contain the devils in Yushe and Liao County, all we need to face are the remaining devils in Yangquan and the reinforcements from the three counties in the south!"

"Yes, we currently have two main regiments with a total of about 5000 troops. Together with the independent regiment and the guerrillas, the total force exceeds 6000, which is enough! If it is not enough, we can also transfer some troops from the west, or even from Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei! A major city occupied by the devils, I think no one can resist this temptation!" Here, while the two regiment commanders were still discussing whether to attack Yangquan, Li Yuexuan had already made a decision: "Instructor, according to my judgment, the devils now have a force of dozens of people in the city, including the gendarmerie, there are only more than 100, and most of them are civilians! At most, there will be some traitor detective teams in it, but it doesn't matter!"

"This amount of troops is no different from an empty city compared to our current strength! Now our external situation is tense, and the internal situation is even more tense. Guosu directly has a set of arguments that the Japanese are invincible and it is better to surrender than to fight! In this case, if our Eighth Route Army directly captures Yangquan, even if it is only occupied for a few days, the significance will be different!"

"Moreover, Yangquan is also a big railway station and the location of the brigade headquarters. How much supplies are stored there? I won't talk about other supplies. If we can find some steam engines and generators, it will be a great help to the development of our arsenal! So, I decided to beat him up! What do you think, instructor?" Li Yuexuan said passionately, and then asked Zhu Xingyu.

"Full support!" Zhu Xingyu waved his hands vigorously, and then said: "But you can't participate in the siege, you must stay with me and keep commanding outside! Now, I will send a telegram immediately to let the main force of our guerrillas come over, and let the independent regiment come as well! Attacking the county town and tearing up the railway is nothing compared to this!"

Zhu Xingyu sent a telegram after he finished speaking. He never worried whether Zhao Danian would disagree with this question! What do you think of Li Yunlong? As old comrades who have fought together, who doesn't know who?

Sure enough, after Political Commissar Zhao handed the telegram to Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong jumped up and said, "Everyone, gather! Don't wait here, let's attack the county town! Zhang Dabiao, now, you take the first battalion and go west along the railway line. When you get to Yangquan, don't do anything else but attack the city immediately! Third Battalion Commander, you take the third battalion to help. Even though it's just one company, we can still help!"

"Signalmen, where are you all? Ride your horses and go find people along the way. Gather all the people from our regiment, including the guerrillas! Don't say anything when you get there. Just say that Yangquan is short of troops. I, Li Yunlong, have decided to attack Yangquan County. Follow me and attack the county!"

"Old Li, is this appropriate?" Political Commissar Zhao was still steady and decided to ask in person.

"Didn't you see the telegram sent by Peregrine? Today, more than 1000 Japanese troops were wiped out outside Yangquan City, and the artillery battalion in the city was also blown up by him! How many Japanese soldiers are left? Hey, this is our chance, a chance to make a fortune! Whether our independent regiment will eat meat or eat shit in the future depends on whether we can capture the county town today!"

"Don't hesitate, send a telegram to the brigade commander to tell him the current situation! I think the brigade commander will give us the greatest support, I know him!" Li Yunlong said, lit a cigarette, and smoked anxiously. He actually wanted to go with Zhang Dabiao, but Lao Zhao was watching, so he couldn't lead the team away. Moreover, he was worried about leaving the independent regiment because of its current situation.
