Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Although the main force had not made any movement, Zhao Danian was not panicked at all!
Why? The Japanese entered the base in three groups. One of them was completely wiped out, and the puppet troops in the other group were also completely wiped out. The Japanese only had one and a half troops left, so it was easy to fight! Although the Japanese occupied Yin Jiulang Village and Mianyang Mountain on the mountain to the west of Weijia Village, Zhao Danian was not panicked at all!

Why panic? As long as the Japanese attack, their position in Jigongling is enough to make a regiment of Japanese soldiers suffer heavy losses, especially after the heavy mortar company's position is set up!

"Oh, right..." Thinking of the heavy company, Zhao Danian glanced at the woods to the northeast behind him and said to the messenger Yin Jianping beside him, "Xiao Yin, come here. I have an order for you. Go and pass it on!"

After Zhao Danian finished speaking, he put a notebook on the ammunition box, wrote an order, and stamped it with the seal of the Beishan Detachment. The content of the order was actually very simple, which was to mobilize the 9 120mm heavy mortars temporarily stored in the warehouse to the Jigongling front line, and mobilize 180 heavy mortar shells to bring them together!

At the detachment meeting, everyone unanimously decided that the heavy mortar battalion should have at least 27 mortars, so these mortars were reserved in the warehouse. However, due to the lack of artillery, 9 mortars were still unused. Now the remaining mortars were brought over and Zhao Erwa was commanding the novice artillerymen to use them, just in time for a battlefield actual combat training.

In order to quickly form the artillery battalion, Zhao Danian also risked his life and planned to give each gun 20 rounds of shells for actual combat! When the Japanese attacked later, they could join the battle. It didn't matter if they couldn't hit accurately, they could continue to practice, as long as they didn't hit their own positions!
Anyway, from Jigongling to the west, except for Yin Jiulang Village and the surrounding crops, which were a pity to be bombed, other places can be bombed! As long as the artillerymen grow up and can accurately fire shells in the next battle, it won't be a loss!
Yin Jianping took the order, mounted his warhorse, and went to Liangjia Village to mobilize. Zhao Danian looked at the signalman again: "Xiao Ge, send another telegram to the main regiment to inquire about Zheng Changfeng's location and whether he needs reinforcements?"

The telegraph signal was transmitted again, and Xiao Ge got the recovery of the main regiment: We have set up a pocket formation on the Erlangyu line of Paijia Mountain, waiting for the Japanese to come! At present, the Japanese are sweeping the villages one by one, clear of the threat, and have reached the vicinity of Longfenggou. Our regiment is confident that we can win this battle!
"Why did Zheng Changfeng deploy the pocket formation over there?" Zhao Danian gave Zheng Changfeng enough freedom to fight, and only then did he start to pay attention to the situation in the south. After thinking about it, Zhao Danian also understood the reason for deploying the pocket formation over there - the terrain was suitable, the location was suitable, and it was far enough from Xiyang County, so it was completely possible to annihilate the Japanese puppet troops that had penetrated deep into the base area in the Gantao River Valley.

You read it right, it is the Gantao River Valley, which is actually the same river as the Gantao River where the Third Battalion is located at this time. The location of the main force regiment is the upper reaches of the Gantao River, and the location of the Third Battalion is the lower reaches. Both sides drink the water of the same river and are engaged in fighting the Japanese.

The river is flowing, and the river valleys are connected, so the roads along the river are also connected, so there is no problem with driving! So Zhao Danian came to the phone and called Liangjia Village: "Old Zhu, this is Old Zhao! Has the battlefield of the Third Brigade been completely cleaned up now? How about the spoils?"

"Just now, the Third Squadron called again and told us that they found a complete radio among the Japanese spoils. I was just about to tell you that this radio is the kind that can be used for calls at any time! The Japanese's technological strength is getting stronger and stronger!" Zhu Xingyu's voice came from the phone.

"Let's not worry about the enemy's technological level for now. Sooner or later, we will surpass them! Now let's tell you an important news. The main first regiment is... I plan to send the second heavy mortar company to assist them in the battle. What do you think?" Zhao Danian said in a negotiating tone.

"You are the military commander, you have the final say on combat matters, and I agree to mobilize the Second Heavy Mortar Company! But just one Heavy Mortar Company might not be enough, I suggest adding another infantry company! It just so happens that the Fifth Company of the Third Battalion is guarding Gushan as the general reserve and cannot participate in the battle, so let's transfer the Fifth Company as well! It just so happens that the Third Battalion has gathered 5 drivable trucks from the captured trucks!" Zhao Danian smiled as he listened to Zhu Xingyu's report, and then said, "Okay, you can call the Third Battalion directly to mobilize them! By the way, I just asked Yin Jianping to go over..."

To the north of Ceyu Town, at the Gushan position, the captain of the third detachment, Chen Changsheng, hurriedly arrived with a convoy and gave an order to the soldiers guarding there: "Bring all your equipment, get on the car and set off to reinforce Dongyetou Town."

Soon, the trucks started moving, carrying heavy mortars, artillery shells, infantry, and some soldiers riding sidecar motorcycles in front, rumbling south along the river valley. At this time, the soldiers of the 385th Regiment of the 13th Brigade who stayed on the hilltop a few kilometers east of Jiulong Pass not far east of Dongyetou discovered the Japanese marching column coming from afar in the valley.

"Captain, there are so many Japanese invaders and puppet troops coming, at least more than 2000 of them!" The sentry hurriedly ran inside the pass and reported the news.

Although there was still at least 4 kilometers of straight-line distance, the commander of the 13th Regiment did not dare to neglect this news. After all, this was a force of at least 2000 Japanese devils, and half of them were Japanese and puppet troops, so they were very strong.

At this time, the 13th Regiment was not with the brigade, because the brigade took the hastily reorganized 14th Regiment and the 769th Regiment to protect the headquarters. Their 13th Regiment stayed here to gather the troops returning from the Jizhong Plain. At present, their regiment had only more than 700 combat soldiers, which was obviously not superior to the number of the Japanese.

More importantly, they had lost a lot of mortars and other weapons during their breakout, and only had 7 shells left, which they had not yet been replenished. There were still some bullets, and each soldier could get about 20 rounds, but this amount of ammunition was a bit stretched for the Japanese team. Of course, there was also good news, that is, they had enough grenades, because the Beishan Detachment had just delivered 1 of them.

"Captain, what should we do?" The political commissar of the 13th regiment had an unpleasant look on his face. After all, there were too many Japanese and puppet troops, and it was hard to say whether they could stop them.

"What else can we do? The Japanese have arrived at this time, and it is obvious that they are entering the base to raid. Their target is either the headquarters or the Pingdong base! Regardless of other things, immediately report this news to the headquarters, the brigade and the Beishan detachment! Perhaps the Beishan detachment can give us some reinforcements!" The head of the 13th Regiment, who was unaware of the great victory of the Beishan detachment, made the most correct decision. (End of this chapter)
