*********************************************************************
To annihilate or severely damage the "infantry regiment", the Japanese will find it difficult to draw enough troops to compete with our army in eastern Henan within one or two months. Winning this precious time is crucial to defending the autumn harvest, restoring our army, and consolidating the restoration and restoration of the liberation area.
According to the training standards of the third column, armed forces often march at a speed of five kilometers per hour and persist for six hours; armed forces march at a speed of ten kilometers per hour and can persist for three hours. In other words, march can travel thirty kilometers per sixty miles within three hours. This is not the ultimate speed of the third column, but also the fastest marching speed, called forcing marching.
The Third Column stipulates that a single soldier should bear no more than twenty kilograms, which is lighter than the Japanese (usually twenty-three kilograms), mainly because he carries less ammunition than the Japanese.
At the same time, Yang Tianfeng asked the recruits to be trained before they could enter the army, which also ensured the overall ability of the army. Assassination training cultivates the courage of soldiers, tactical actions reduce casualties, and eating and drinking enough will help the recruits to maintain and improve their physical strength.
In the hazy light, whether it was the moon or the stars, several troops advanced quickly, carrying only a kettle, a small amount of dry food, as well as necessary weapons and ammunition, and drove the few mules and horses along their respective routes, and rushed straight to Xiayi County under the guidance of their guide.
Don’t fight or get entangled. Even if there is a base that finds abnormalities, don’t pay attention to it. You must arrive at the county town at 10 o’clock in the evening. This is a death order.
The guerrillas around Xiayi had already started to act in advance and began to destroy the enemy's telephone line as soon as the night came. This time it was more thorough and crazier than before.
The troops advanced rapidly and quickly bypassed the strongholds and bunkers built by the Japanese, and quietly approached the county town before 10 o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Jicai wiped the rain from his face, raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, and then focused his eyes on the dark south gate of the county town in the distance. I wonder if the two enemy with strongholds shooting at the troops on the way would affect this operation. I hope that the guerrillas' destruction will be thorough enough, or even if the news reaches the city, it will not arouse the vigilance of the Japanese devils.
At this time, the home of Chen Haoguang, the captain of the puppet army in the city, was full of swords and shadows, and the atmosphere was tense.
"Brother Chen, I, I have never treated you badly!" Du Yanhui, the captain of the puppet army, was drinking happily. Two thick makeup next to him attracted his soul and divine teachings, but unexpectedly, Chen Haoguang suddenly changed his face, and several black muzzles pointed at his head. He screamed in fear and drilled under the table.
"Brother Du, brother has no malice either." Chen Guanghao smiled, looked at Zhao Zhenzhong next to him, and said, "This one was sent by Commander Yang Tianfeng, and he was also from the Northwest Army. He is also a relative of his own. He will never harm us."
"Then, this, this--" Du Yanhui pointed with a trembling hand, hoping that the gun could divert the target.
"Captain Du, there are tens of thousands of people from the third column outside, and this county town cannot be saved." Zhao Zhenzhong sneered and said: "Captain Yang must also know how to deal with the stubborn puppet army. If Captain Du judges the situation and revolts in the face of the uprising, Commander Yang said that he would not blame him and would have four yellow croakers rewards, so he can come and go freely in the future."
"As long as the captain ordered the brothers to open the city gate, there would be nothing we had. If you want to continue, follow Commander Yang, who is a lieutenant general and has a bright future. If you don't want to do it, just find a place to have fun with money. Isn't it much better than doing it for the Japanese with your head?" Chen Haoguang was very tempted and sang a double act with Zhao Zhenzhong.
Du Yanhui was still hesitating, Zhao Zhenzhong had already snorted coldly and waved his hand. Several special forces team members stepped forward and pressed their hands and grabbed their shoulders, tied a row of grenades to Du Yanhui's waist.
Du Yanhui looked at the grenade that uncovered the cover and pulled the strings, and sweated coldly. He looked at Chen Haoguang's harmless smiling face, licked his dry lips, and said tremblingly: "As long as Brother Chen speaks, everything is easy to say, why bother, why do you make it so dangerous."
"No danger." A special forces member sneered and fastened his hat to Du Yanhui, took his arm, and grabbed the lead that was poked out of his sleeve, "My hand is very stable, Captain Du will be relieved."
Chen Guanghao looked at his watch, waved his hand, and ordered: "The Japanese patrol team has passed, let's set off."
More than a dozen members disguised as puppet troops surrounded Du Yanhui and walked in front, turning over two desolate and deserted alleys, and directly coming to Ximen.
"It feels a bit strange today." The squadron leader of the puppet army held the battlement of the city wall, looked around for a while, and said to himself: "Occasionally, there are always people who come to call the door, but there is not one today? It is so quiet that it makes people feel irritated."
"When the Japanese patrol came just now, why didn't you report it?" a puppet army asked in confusion.
"You are stupid!" The squadron leader of the puppet army glanced at the puppet army, "That's not asking for trouble. If the Japanese asked us to go out of the city to check, they might have eaten the black gun and they won't have any good food in the future."
"Captain, high opinion." The puppet soldier smiled and praised.
In the darkness, the shrill screams of wild dogs came from afar. The captain of the puppet army shook his head suspiciously, yawned, and said to the soldiers on the city wall: "It's all a bit of energy. If there is any situation, go call me immediately."
A puppet soldier suddenly ran up and said, "The captain is here, right below, I have something to do with you."
The squadron leader of the puppet army quickly ran down the city wall and came to Du Yanhui. He didn't notice anything abnormal. He smiled and said, "Brother, why are you free to check the sentry today? If you have brothers here, nothing will happen."
Du Yanhui grinned and said bitterly: "What did your brother treat you in the past?"
The captain of the puppet army was stunned for a moment and replied, "Brother has nothing to say to me. I have money and food. Why do you say this?" At this time, he realized that something was wrong. Several strange men surrounded him, and his cold eyes made him feel cold all over.
"Okay." Du Yanhui reached out and patted his shoulder, "I can't treat my brothers without any treatment. Open the city gate, let's revolt and join the National Army."
"Ah?" The captain of the puppet army squadron opened his mouth, and his head couldn't react for a moment.
"Listen to me," Du Yanhui sighed, opened his clothes slightly, and asked the puppet squadron leader to look at the grenades on his body, and said, "Brother, if you don't want to die, just do as I say. The Japanese in the city are going to be finished. Don't take our brother's life."
Three flashlights lit up on the top of the city. Jiang Jicai's pupils suddenly contracted. With a sudden wave of his hand, Deputy Captain Gao Peng, led the Pioneer Team, could no longer hold back. When he saw the order, he immediately jumped up and ran towards the city gate.
The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate opened with a creaking sound. In just a moment, the soldiers of the Jiang Detachment rushed into the city. The puppet soldiers hid in the corner, and silently watched the officers and soldiers of the Jiang Detachment rush in on the city wall, and rushed into the city in a row.
Jiang Jicai let out a long sigh and asked the telegrapher to send a successful raid. Then, under the protection of the guards, he walked through the city gate hole, turned around and shook hands with Zhao Zhenzhong, Chen Haoguang and others on the city gate tower.
"Brother Zhao, you have made great contributions!" Jiang Jicai smiled and said, "Even I didn't expect you to do so beautifully. You successfully occupied the city gate without a single shot."
"It's mainly because of Brother Chen's credit, and Captain Du's understanding of justice." Zhao Zhenzhong humbly patted Du Yanhui who was squatting on the ground, and smiled and said, "Captain Du, get up quickly!"
"Boom!" A loud bang came from the east, followed by a loud gunshot. Then, gunshots rang out almost at the south and north of the county town at the same time.
Du Yanhui had just stood up, and the sudden loud noise scared him so much that he shivered all over and almost collapsed.
"Haha, Captain Du seems to be pampering and no longer as brave as he used to be." Jiang Jicai smiled lightly and turned to look at the county town. At this time, it was already bustling with a burning spree.
…………………
The Blade of Revenge has been unsheathed, how can it be returned without blood staining?
It was already late at night, and Yang Tianfeng was sitting in the command room without any sleepiness. After receiving Jiang Jicai's call, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and issued a series of orders to the staff.
The troops from the Yongcheng base attacked Longhai Road; the special forces attacked the station town in disguise, and Ma Bingzhong's brigade responded; the 81st Division, the 1st Brigade of the First Cavalry Division, and the 14th Brigade of the 1st Cavity Brigade surrounded Yucheng...
The troops in eastern Henan were mobilized, and in this late night, the battle situation would be unexpectedly drastic changes by the Japanese.
As he stood up and looked out the window, Yang Tianfeng seemed to see the battlefields reflected by the cold moon and cold stars. Tracers, flares, and signal flares intertwined and danced in the air, the screams of shells, grenades, explosions, and the dull explosion sounds made by the explosive packs echoed endlessly.
On the nearly 100-kilometer-long railway line, the enemy and us were fighting fiercely. It was a majestic and magnificent scene he had never seen before, and a scene that would make any commander who had experienced many battles feel thrilling.
If you read 300 Tang poems well, you will be able to recite them even if you can't write poems. By memorizing, turning others into your own and knowledge into life may be a very smart choice.
However, in military terms, it is difficult to be as relaxed and comfortable as writing poems. It is by no means that you can become a famous general in the world by memorizing the great works of "The Art of War" and "On War" in the flow. The wonderful use of the art of war lies in one's heart. The clever use of the art of war lies in being good at thinking, flexibly adapting to changes, copying and copying will only end up like Zhao Kuo who talks about war on paper.
The large-scale deep penetration is an innovation, but it is also based on the actual situation of the troops. According to the weaknesses of the Japanese army's scattered stations in the occupation area, the weaknesses become loopholes and become fatal flaws.
"Commander, telegram." A staff officer came over and handed Yang Tianfeng a telegram.
Yang Tianfeng withdrew his thoughts, read the telegram, and smiled.
Chi Fengcheng, the commander of the 30th Army of the Second Army, led the 27th and 30th divisions to Zhoukou and had crossed the river to participate in the battle.
