Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

When talking about Shanxi, what is your first impression? In terms of food, it should be old vinegar; in terms of resources, it should be coal; in terms of geography, it is the Hengshan Mountain in the north, the Taihang Mountains stretching from north to south, the Zhongtiao Mountains and the Wangwu Mountains in the south stretching from east to west, and the Yellow River flowing from north to south in the west; in terms of culture, it is the Hongtong Big Sophora Tree that many people dream of.

Since ancient times, when people looked down from Shanxi, they saw the vast Central Plains, the flat and fertile Jizhong Plain, and large tracts of land suitable for farming.

From these plains, you can see cliffs. The towering cliffs blocked people's sight and forced them to find passages to pass through. Thus, there were the Eight Passes of Taihang Mountain, and many passes such as Yanmen Pass, Niangzi Pass, and Pingxing Pass.

In the past, the King of Qin conquered the six kingdoms and pacified the world. The God of Death Bai Qi fought the famous Battle of Changping here. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, the Battle of Baideng took place here, and Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang was besieged here. In the Song Dynasty, the Battle of Jinshatan also took place in Shanxi. Well, this is where the Yang family generals were pitted badly in the storytelling...

Putting aside these ancient things, the current SX Province also played a very important role in the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and assumed the most important strategic position in the entire northern anti-Japanese war!
SX Province was defended, and the Japanese dared not cross the Yellow River, dared not attack Xi'an, and even had to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison here to ensure the stability of the rear. Imagine if SX Province was completely occupied without resistance like the three northeastern provinces, what would the Japanese strategic position be like?
They occupy the high ground, and can cross the Yellow River to the west to attack Shaanxi, and to the south to attack Henan. The Pinghan Railway in the east will also be a very important transportation route...

Of course, the strategic advantage of the devils did not form in the Eighth Route Army's repeated counter-mopping-up operations! From the anti-six-way siege in Jinzhong to the two anti-nine-way sieges in southeastern Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army always insisted on the front line of the War of Resistance, ensuring that southeastern Shanxi and northwestern Shanxi were not lost, and also opened up bases such as Beiyue District, making the entire Shanxi a battlefield for the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army was born to grow and develop in encirclement. The bald man has the most say on this! It is precisely because of the Eighth Route Army that it can continue to grow and develop behind enemy lines, so that it has now developed to more than 35 troops and actually controls a large area of ​​northwest and southeast Shanxi, and even the Taiyue District is under its control.

The Taiyue District, which is the area where the Taiyue Mountain is located, is located to the south of the Zhongtiao Mountains!
Li Yuexuan learned a text when he was in school. The sentence he remembers most clearly is: A wind in Zhongtiao Mountain lasts from the beginning of the year to the end of the year; eating four ounces of soil a day, if it is not enough during the day, make up for it at night.

At that time, Li Yuexuan was still young. Personal computers were not popular, and many people had never heard of them! Therefore, Li Yuexuan at that time only knew that there was such a place from the textbooks, but he didn't know where it was! Of course, he could probably see it in the geography atlas, but the geography teacher was often asked to take sick leave...

Later, with the popularization of computers, Li Yuexuan finally knew about Zhongtiao Mountain. However, at that time, Li Yuexuan did not pay too much attention to this place, but just had some understanding of it.

But now, Li Yuexuan had to re-recognize this place! After all, the copper mines in Zhongtiao Mountain are definitely an existence that cannot be ignored! Even though the copper reserves in Zhongtiao Mountain are not the highest in the country, this is the place where the Eighth Route Army can get copper resources most easily! After all, other places are too far away from the location of the Eighth Route Army... Zhongtiao Mountain has copper mines, and the devils will naturally not let it go! Therefore, there is a division of the devils stationed in Yuncheng.

The Japanese here have plundered the copper mines in Zhongtiao Mountain and the salt in Yanchi. These are also what the Eighth Route Army wants, so the 386th Brigade was sent to open up the Taiyue Base, and then developed southward, gradually penetrating into Zhongtiao Mountain! Why is it the 386th Brigade? Who is our brigade commander? The Japanese who can fight wrote on the tank: Specially attack those with the words 386th Brigade!
He has to be the one to take on the task of seizing territory and resources from the Japanese!
Therefore, Li Yuexuan had no doubt that our brigade commander could get ten tons of brass from there! After all, the Eighth Route Army has developed to this point, except that the military strength is similar to that of his world, but the equipment is not on the same level! Although these troops will not be as strong as the Beishan Detachment, they will not lack semi-automatic, light machine guns, Type 82 horse rifles, grenade launchers, 120 mortars, and heavy mortars! The key is bullets! With the output of bullets from the Beishan Detachment and the headquarters arsenal, the general shortage of bullets in the Eighth Route Army can also be partially solved!

You have to understand that the combat effectiveness that can be displayed by the Eighth Route Army where each soldier has only 5 bullets is different from that of the Eighth Route Army where each soldier has 15 bullets!

Now, since the headquarters asked to send a team to receive the 10 tons of brass, the Beishan Detachment had to consider who to send to receive it! After all, this time, in addition to receiving the brass, they also had to send 210 mortars and 1000 rounds of artillery shells to the headquarters.

In Liangjia Village, in the conference room, several detachment cadres including Zhao Danian, Li Yuexuan, Zhu Xingyu, Lu Xiaoran, four regimental-level cadres Zheng Changfeng, Guo Zhongmin, Guo Liandong, and Chen Changsheng, as well as the cadres directly under the detachment sat together, and a small meeting was in progress.

"The autumn harvest work has already begun, and we have finished talking about the things that your departments need to pay attention to. Now let's talk about who will go to the headquarters to deliver the things and bring back the brass?" Zhu Xingyu said.

"For this mission, I think it is most appropriate for our main regiment to set out! If for no other reason, it is because we are the entire detachment's fully-organized regimental-level mobile force!" Zheng Changfeng said.

"We, the First Infantry Battalion, request to join the war!" said Guo Zhongmin.

"Okay, stop arguing. Our Second Battalion requests to carry out this mission! Listen to me..." Guo Liandong said, "Since our battalion was established, or when we were still a squadron, we have been responsible for the garrison mission of the team headquarters! It's not that we don't want to carry out such a mission, but we also want to have a combat mission!"

"Look, have you all seen so many battles? Did our Second Battalion participate? No, right? So, giving us a chance to go out and perform a mission, even if it's just a long-distance march to deliver supplies, is a good training! It's impossible that our Second Battalion will stay in the base area until we have defeated the Japanese and have no chance to go out, right?" (End of this chapter)
