Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 512 Chapter 511, Harvest Day

The telegram soon reached the hands of the head of the headquarters, which made the head happy and he clapped his hands on the table.

"Haha, well done! Xiao Chen has grown up! I still remember that he didn't know what gold bars looked like at that time, so he threw the captured gold bars into the toilet and used the rest as pads for the bed legs. But now, he is already the commander of a main brigade! Moreover, he knows how to mobilize artillery and concentrate firepower to destroy the enemy's marching team! Not bad, very good!"

Listening to the chief's praise, the chief of staff rubbed his swollen eyes and said, "In fact, the people who should be thanked the most are our comrades in the arsenal! If it weren't for their hard work, our troops wouldn't have so many mortars, grenade launchers, shells, and grenades! So, chief, you have to praise one more person!"

"Haha, you mean that guy, right? Well, the defense battle he commanded this time was also very good, especially the use of artillery, but the consumption of artillery shells was a bit high! Of course, our soldiers paid a very small price in life, which is worthy of praise! Well... what do you think, how about giving him another first-class merit?"

"If you have no objection, that means I agree! However, considering the positive role that he played in this battle due to the arsenal, let's make this first-class merit a special merit! Then all the combat units that participated in the defense of the narrow line of sky will be collectively awarded first-class merit! Over at the 385th Brigade..."

After a simple commendation of military merit, the deputy commander turned to look at the map hanging on the wall and pointed to Licheng with the pencil in his hand: "Now, 5000% of the Japanese in Licheng don't know that we have completely wiped out the more than Japanese who came north from Licheng! However, the Japanese should know it by tomorrow morning at the latest!"

"So, without further delay, we must make sure that the Japanese in Licheng have nowhere to escape before tomorrow morning! I order the 385th Brigade to stop cleaning up the battlefield, replenish ammunition on the spot, and immediately march south to arrive near Qiaojiazhuang in the north of Licheng by 4 a.m. I also order the 1st Regiment, 3rd Regiment, and 1st Core Regiment of the rd Division..."

What does it mean to seize the opportunity and kill with one blow? This is what the deputy commander-in-chief does! As the most important Far East battlefield during World War II, although there was no so-called world-famous general, our deputy commander-in-chief specializes in fighting world-famous generals!
Since the day the Japanese invaded southeastern Shanxi, our headquarters has been mobilizing troops against them! Now, we have seized the opportunity, and the troops mobilized in the past few days are in place, just in time!

The telegram came quickly. After a series of beeping sounds, Brigade Commander Chen received the order.

"Everyone, pay attention..." Having just completed several days' forced march and fought a battle of annihilation, and before they had time to clean up the battlefield, the soldiers of the 385th Brigade set out again!
They left, but they had to clean up the battlefield! So, the 2nd Regiment of the Third Division, which had just fallen asleep in the narrow sky, received an urgent order...

The comrades of the 2nd Regiment are already a little numb! That's right, what have they been doing these days? Acting as bait to attract the Japanese to the narrow side of the sky, and then what? Digging pits, cleaning the battlefield, cleaning the battlefield, digging pits... After finally fighting a hand-to-hand combat, they have to continue cleaning the battlefield. They seem to be sleeping soundly, but they have to get up again and clean the battlefield...

Walking in the narrow gap in the sky, by the light of the torches, Captain Hu and Political Commissar Wei looked at each other and saw the helplessness and... funny in each other's eyes!
Well, from today on, when it comes to cleaning up the battlefield, the Second Regiment of the Third Division dares to say that they are the most professional in front of the entire army! There is no way, there are too many things to do... The transfer of the Second Regiment did not affect Li Yuexuan. He did not return to the dormitory tonight, and still slept on the simple camp bed in the air-raid shelter, and slept peacefully.

The high mental tension of the past few days finally got released and rested tonight, so he naturally slept more deeply. When he woke up early the next morning, Li Yuexuan felt that he was relaxed and energetic from the inside out, from top to bottom!
After hurriedly eating breakfast and running around the arsenal, Li Yuexuan discovered that the special forces regiment's troops were much smaller, with only one battalion left in the arsenal. No one knew where the other comrades had gone.

Li Yuexuan knew that there were still battles to be fought, so he did not ask any more questions. He just returned to Yixiantian and arranged the next defense issues.

Li Yuexuan couldn't go out easily. It was already very good that he could lead people to the southern ridge to set up a heavy position yesterday afternoon. Therefore, Li Yuexuan didn't plan to go out today.

He didn't go out, but outsiders could come in! So this morning, all kinds of cars kept coming from Xijing Town, Matan, and Tongyu Town. After carefully checking the documents at the checkpoint at the south entrance of Yixiantian, a small number of these vehicles were allowed in, and the rest were left in the wild outside, waiting for the arsenal to transport supplies or for vehicles to pick up goods.

Xijing Town, as one of the two important towns next to the arsenal, has a very important geographical location! Especially since the Japanese had been stationed here in the past few days, everyone had to check the town from inside to outside in the next period of time. Apart from anything else, the wells in the town had to be checked carefully to prevent the Japanese from poisoning people.

In addition, there are many soldiers working on the former Japanese mountain artillery position today! This is the Japanese mountain artillery position. Although it was bombed by our heavy mortars, there are really a lot of good things left! Yesterday afternoon, the soldiers of the basic regiment searched in the dust and found more than 1000 artillery shells.

Yesterday, time was tight and the soldiers were very tired, so they didn't search carefully! Well, today the sun is bright, so let's search carefully. Even if we find one more mountain artillery shell, it will be a profit!
There is also the mountain ridge that was badly bombed. The heavy siege position has been withdrawn to the narrow gap. Under the dust here, we have to search carefully. After all, this was once the frontier command post of the devils. Although it was bombed into slag and ashes by the heavy siege company, it is still necessary to explore!
In short, today is a day of harvest, and everyone is thinking about finding some good things!

It was a good day for harvest in Yixiantian, but it was a good day for fighting in Licheng! According to the dispatch of the deputy commander, a 385th Brigade and several local regiments surrounded the county town in the early morning of today. Not only that, before dawn, the soldiers of the 385th Regiment of the 769th Brigade also took down all the devils guarding Dongyang Pass in a sneak attack.

Just as the sun rose and the sky was covered with morning glow, several regiments launched an attack on Licheng...
