Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Just when Li Yunlong and his men were preparing to intervene on the battlefield, cut off and reap the Japanese, the expected battles broke out one after another in several other locations!
The first to start the battle was the New 1st Regiment, because the New 1st Regiment's base in Dazhai was just southeast of Xiyang County, and the New 1st Regiment's base expanded directly northward, encompassing Xiyang City and merging it with the area controlled by the Beishan Detachment.

As mentioned before, after the New 1st Regiment adopted the strategy of clearing the countryside in its own base and using a small part of its forces to defend its home, it moved its main force to between Xiyang and Ping'an counties and prepared for an ambush in advance.

Unlike Li Yunlong and his men who rushed over to block the enemy, they had most of the night to prepare, and they also had to take into account the time to attack Ping'an County in the morning and the time for the devils to ask for reinforcements, so they dug and built four lines of defense at the blocking site, with heavy machine gun fortifications, grenade launcher fortifications, and artillery positions all arranged. Even the New 4st Regiment still had heavy pressure...

So, while Li Yunlong was assigning tasks to Zhang Dabiao, Ding Wei's blocking battle had been going on for more than ten minutes.

There were fewer Japanese soldiers coming out of Xiyang, only one squadron of Japanese soldiers with more than 800 puppet troops, so the New st Regiment was not under much pressure and was very relaxed.

"Commander, according to your instructions, the second battalion commander and his men have already gone around behind the Japanese and can kill them at any time!" The signalman ran in and reported.

"Very good, order the artillery company's 82 mortars to bomb the Japanese positions and drive them back. The rest is up to the Second Battalion!" Ding Wei did not intend to wait any longer and directly used heavy firepower.

"Yes, Commander..." The signalman went to make a phone call to deliver the order, but Ding Wei waved and called a messenger over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chirp, chirp, chirp... Boom, boom... The whistling sound of artillery shells flew from the hilltop in the east and landed on the enemy's position. The enemy was a reinforcement force, and when they were blocked, they pushed the puppet army forward. They planned to build some simple fortifications in the back to prepare. As a result, as soon as the fortifications were started, artillery shells whistled down, and dozens of enemy soldiers were immediately killed on the spot.

The Japanese gathered on the hills on both sides of the road, bending over and working hard, without any anti-gun holes or other facilities. Such a place is the most ideal state for artillerymen, and the effect of artillery bombardment is awesome!
Two consecutive rounds of artillery fire swept across the so-called positions of the Japanese, and more than half of the Japanese squadron was killed or wounded. They no longer had the intention to continue to reinforce and just wanted to escape back to Xiyang City. At this time, some Japanese veterans remembered the warning someone had given them that year - outside Xiyang City, you will die!

The devils in Xiyang naturally didn't believe in evil, and as a result, the team that went out to mop up the situation last year never returned, and the reinforcements that went out today... probably...

Just as the Japanese were thinking about these things and retreating towards Xiyang, the sound of bullets passing through bodies rang out in the team, and screams came out of their own mouths. Then, the sounds of light machine guns, assault rifles, submachine guns, semi-automatic guns and other firearms suddenly rang out from the mountains on both sides, and there was also the whistling sound of grenade launchers whistling through the air.

Boom, boom, boom... accompanied by gunshots, grenade launchers exploded, creating clusters of death zones in the Japanese troops.

"Comrades, charge..." someone shouted, and then the rapid charge horn sounded throughout the battlefield. More than a hundred commandos rushed down the mountain, firing as they rushed. By the time the soldiers rushed down the road, there were only a few Japanese who were still alive and able to resist. Of course, this was not a reason for the comrades not to shoot, so they naturally shot or stabbed each one with a bayonet.

The Japanese were dealt with cleanly, efficiently and quickly, and the hundreds of puppet soldiers in front were surrounded at this time. Someone even held a loudspeaker and shouted at the puppet soldiers to surrender quickly!
The puppet soldiers were not stupid. Seeing the locust soldiers behind them being quickly wiped out, they naturally raised their hands and provided more than 500 prisoners to the New st Regiment. "Okay, leave the third battalion here to guard, and the rest of you, take the prisoners, and go back to the base to stop the devils in the direction of Heshun! Little devils, don't let me down!" After the battle, Ding Wei changed the battlefield and led the main force to fight away...

The New First Regiment fought quickly and cleanly, but the New Second Regiment was a bit "slow"!

The situation here was that Ping'an County also asked for help at the beginning. When the devils from Shouyang came out, the battle started! However, this time it was the New Second Regiment that took the initiative to fire in the direction of Hujiazhuang to attract the devils. Ran Guzi noticed that there were actually hundreds of people firing here.

So, the Japanese soldiers from Shouyang, two squads of Japanese soldiers with more than 400 puppet soldiers chased up and followed the team of the New Second Regiment, with the intention of catching up and destroying them one by one.

However, as they chased, the Eighth Route Army in front ran farther and farther, causing some of the puppet soldiers who were chasing them to speed up their pace. However, as they chased, one of the puppet soldiers tripped, and there was a loud bang, and the puppet soldiers around him flew into the sky. That's right, the New Second Regiment used the method of landmine warfare to delay the Japanese, and fought them slowly, without any hurry.

The battle in Xiyang was clean and neat, the battle in Shouyang was dragging on, and the situation in Niangzi Pass can only be described as spectacular!

Why is it so grand? Well, didn't the second battalion commander lead his men to dig a section of the railway line west of Niangzi Pass last night? Hey, just this morning, a train came from Shimen City. The place where the railway was dug was a big bend, and the driver couldn't pay attention to the road conditions. The whole train rushed out of the railway with a bang and overturned on the river beach beside the road.

Well, the train derailment was quite spectacular!

After the train derailed, no fighting took place immediately, and the Japanese soldiers at Niangzi Pass could only come to check. So, when the Japanese troops left Niangzi Pass and arrived at the scene of the incident, a loud explosion sounded in the Japanese troops. It was the masterpiece of the grenade throwers who were ambushed here, and the Japanese soldiers were blown away in panic.

Then, the devils will go back to where they came from, and those who can't go back will never go back again! Well, the next step is for the devils to mobilize the defenders of Jingxing and Shimen City...

It can be said that on this morning, around Ping'an County, battles broke out everywhere. The most notable feature is that we were well prepared for these battles, and we took advantage of them without any intention! Of course, the next battle in Yangquan is the most important!
Even if we attack Ping'an County, no matter how big the noise is, it is hard to say whether we can mobilize the Japanese troops who are sweeping the Beiyue area to turn back.

But to attack Yangquan, an important city on the railway, the Japanese had to mobilize their troops to turn around! Otherwise, Yangquan would be emptied again, and even all the railway facilities would be completely damaged.

Although, these railways and so on, once belonged to us! But now they are important blood transfusion channels for the Japanese, they really can't afford to lose them! (End of this chapter)
