Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

As everyone waited, time passed little by little, and the battle to liberate Jingxing and other places was about to begin.

According to the decision of the meeting, Jingxing was fought by three local regiments of the Ninth District, and a regiment of the independent detachment went straight to Tumenguan as reinforcement. And fighting Jingxing was not just as simple as fighting the county town, but also fighting the county town and the mining area 8 kilometers west of the city! Moreover, the area of ​​the mining area was much larger than the county town.

In this era, Jingxing County is not famous for Jingxing in the Eight Mountains of Taihang, but for Jingxing Coal Mine, one of the three largest coal mines in the Republic of China! The other two coal mines are Kailuan Coal Mine and Fushun Coal Mine. Of course, due to the cruel exploitation of the devils, the output of Datong Coal Mine is not low, but it was obtained at the cost of the lives of the workers...

Similarly, there are mass graves in Jingxing Coal Mine. The remains of 4.6 miners who died in the accident are buried in Nandagou alone...

Because the Jingxing Coal Mine was so important, during the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the Eighth Route Army attacked the mine, all the buildings on the ground were destroyed, and the workers were rescued, so the mine was not put into operation for at least half a year. But later, the mine was reopened and the coal mine was still plundered.

At that time, the Beishan Detachment was still very weak, and the Eighth Route Army was also very weak. They could not liberate the mining area for a long time. They could only carry out constant harassment and destruction, and gradually occupy some small mines.

Today, since we are going to drill Jingxing, we naturally cannot let go of this coal mine area! There are many ways to drill a coal mine, you can drill from the outside in, or from the inside out!
At 10 a.m. on October 10, in a small mine a few kilometers away from the mining area, commandos armed with live ammunition were winched down the mine. Then, led by veteran miners, they went either straight or in a detour, gradually going downwards, and finally came to a wall of coal gangue that blocked the mine.

Then, several miners kept waving their pickaxes and shovels, and the soldiers behind them transported the mined materials one basket at a time, and finally they opened up the blocked mine tunnel.

It must be said that everyone was very lucky. There was no gas deposition and no water seepage. The comrades of the commando team successfully entered an abandoned mine tunnel in the Jingxing mining area, and then gradually moved forward under the leadership of the old miners...

In a new mine, Lu Zhengzheng, a supervisor hired by the Japanese, was whipping a miner with a whip. He felt a chill on his neck, and then blood rushed out, and his life ended.

"Let's go to the wellhead and wait for the winch to bring the cage down..."

The winch creaked and turned non-stop, and the cage sent new workers down and brought up miners who had worked hard all day. At the edge of a mine, the Japanese supervisors waved their wooden sticks triumphantly, watching the cage filled with black workers rise from the mine and gradually reveal their figures...

When the cage came to a complete stop, the cage door was opened and the miners staggered out. Some of the weaker ones fell to the ground after only a few steps.

"Get down..." Someone shouted behind the miners, and the miners, who were almost dead from exhaustion, obediently lay down on the ground. And the workers waiting to go down the mine also lay down on the ground without any instruction. So, there was a dark cage on the dark well mouth, and the miners were lying on the ground outside...

Da da da... Da da da... Just at this moment, the sound of submachine gun fire rang out, and the Japanese supervisors who were still in a daze were shot one after another. Fifteen soldiers holding submachine guns also appeared at the door of the cage.

"Spread out, move quickly..." the squad leader shouted, and the soldiers dispersed in pairs, taking control of the motor room that operated the winch and the buildings near the wellhead. The winch continued to work, lowering the empty cage down to pick up more soldiers. At the same time, the commandos who had been lurking around the mining area also fired at the guards in the mining area from different angles. For a while, gunshots rang around the mining area, and the sound of grenade launchers exploding rang out from the fortifications around the mining area.

"Fellow villagers, come here quickly and hide in here..." While the battle was going on outside, the commando team controlling the mine discovered that the guards' housing was quite sturdy, made of reinforced concrete, so they brought the 10 or so miners who came up with them into the guard room.

Then, the three soldiers exposed their gun barrels through the shooting hole of the guard room, waiting for the Japanese soldiers from the mining area to come.

"This way, quickly..." The Japanese mining protection team came very quickly. The battle outside was still going on, but the mining patrol team in the mining area rushed to the vicinity of the mine with Type 38 rifles and other weapons.

What greeted the devils was, of course, merciless bullets! The sound of submachine guns kept firing short bursts, and any devils or traitors who dared to show their heads would be mercilessly attacked.

The Japanese never expected that the Eighth Route Army would have an internal attack, and the patrols in the mining area usually dealt with those exploited miners, and they had no combat effectiveness against submachine guns! Therefore, as a patrol team was eliminated near the mine, the mine entrance was occupied.

Then, the winch continued to work, the cage continued to rise, and 30 commandos with live ammunition were sent up directly...

With more people, there is more power. After securing the mine, the commandos continued to spread out to the surrounding areas, gradually occupying more than a dozen houses in the mining area, and also eliminated dozens of Japanese or puppet troops who dared to come. After all 90 commandos went up the mine, the real battle began!

The commandos who came up later were no longer limited to submachine guns. They brought semi-automatic sniper rifles, grenade launchers, light machine guns and other weapons. There were even special ammunition soldiers who brought boxes of ammunition...

There were attack positions, and the soldiers also built some safe houses. The commandos took the mine as the center and the safe houses as the focus, and continued to attack toward the west. When there were wounded, the miners took the initiative to help send them to the safe houses.

During this time, the attacks outside never stopped for a moment, and even the artillerymen were not idle, directly hitting the Japanese fortifications with pepper bombs, launching a chemical offensive against the Japanese...

"Moses Moses... Yes, I'm in the mining area. I've been attacked by the Eighth Route Army. I need reinforcements, yes, I need..." In an office in the mining area, the Japanese second lieutenant Mitsui listened to the noise on the phone and hung up the phone helplessly... He knew that the telephone line had been cut.

"Okay, the devils have asked for help, our mission is accomplished!" Under a certain electric pole leading from the mining area to the county town, the soldiers of the local regiment were satisfied to dismantle the telephone from the cut telephone wire, and then coiled up the telephone wire, which was not a good idea to waste.
