Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Let us turn our attention back to the direction of the third group.

Long before the official start of the attack, Commander Yang had selected a breakthrough position for the attacking troops in advance. This point is very tricky, and any unprepared troops will be caught off guard.

When Captain Han saw the Japanese's first squadron setting off from the Jingxing Coal Mine, he immediately ordered the soldiers of the three battalions to crawl forward to the predetermined position.

The starting point of the comrades was only 800 meters away from the high outer wall of the coal mine. They took advantage of the dark moonlight to take cover, waiting for the order to start the general attack.

This time, Captain Han's tactical arrangement was not complicated. It could be said that he used his power to suppress others in an upright manner. Moreover, everyone had just seen with their own eyes that the Japs divided their forces, and now he was more confident in this operation.

As for whether he would be worried about the enemy who had just left the house and would see through the ambush and come back to double-team him?

Then he, Old Han, can only say sorry. I'm afraid you are looking down on the commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Division.

Currently, the enemy's garrison forces in the mining area are at most two squadrons, and their regiment has a total of 2,700 combatants.

In addition, in the Jingxing Coal Mine, there is an underground worker guerrilla group established by the miners as support. These comrades have been enduring humiliation and burden for a long time. When the battle begins, they will wait for the opportunity to cooperate with the third regiment.

Under such an arrangement, Captain Han didn't even know what the Japs had left to fight with them.

The only problem now is how to deal with the Japanese in the Jingxing Coal Mine in the shortest possible time.

After all, the location of this mining area is very sensitive, and the enemy's reinforcements are likely to be slow. What's more, enough time needs to be left for sabotage operations. There are too many equipments in the coal mine.

In order to deal with many unexpected situations that may occur, Captain Han made the following arrangements. He called the three battalion commanders to him and began to issue specific combat tasks to them.

"First Battalion Commander, your battalion's target is the old mining area in Gangtou. The Japanese headquarters is also in that direction. You must move quickly to capture that area."

"Bring your portable wireless phones and report to me if the situation changes!"

Logically speaking, the old Gangtou mining area is a tough nut to crack, as there are a total of thirteen gun towers there. The third regiment also has no barrel guns, so it will definitely suffer a big loss in the face of the enemy's cross fire.

But now the enemy is extremely short of manpower. When they attack, it will be overwhelming to have three gun towers to participate in the defense.

After receiving the order, First Battalion Commander Wan Gaofei agreed without thinking. He immediately lowered his voice and said to the people around him:

"You guys, just be optimistic, our first battalion will always be the sharp knife of the third regiment! We guarantee to complete the mission!"

Regarding his battalion commander's bad behavior, Captain Han had an imperceptible smile on his face. Although Wan Gaofei's words sound a bit arrogant, they are all based on successful results one after another.

After thinking briefly, he looked at the second and third battalion commanders and told them his arrangements.

"Hengshan and Dongwangshe will be left in your charge. There are many miner comrades there. We must try our best to protect them while attacking. The people are the root of our army."

"Alright! Let's get ready! Leave it to the First Battalion to open a breach! Once you get in, disperse as quickly as possible."

Five minutes after assigning the task, the soldiers of the third regiment saw a red signal flare rising in the sky in the distance. Everyone ended their concealment and launched an attack towards the Jingxing Coal Mine.

The distance of a few hundred meters quickly shortened, and the comrades encountered the first obstacle on the way forward.

In order to prevent the miners from escaping and to stop the sabotaging guerrillas, the Japanese deployed a large number of power grids outside the mining areas.

In the original plan, workers inside the coal mine would cut off the power when the attack began. Obviously, they must have encountered some difficulties.

But it's not a big problem. The soldiers of the third regiment have already made multiple plans.

The simplest and crudest method is to ask the engineers to build wooden boards, or to ask the comrades of the first battalion to use grenades to open the way, but this method of treatment involves certain risks.

In order to avoid non-combat attrition, Captain Han chose the most prudent strategy.

The engineers of the first battalion took out gloves made of basketball leather linings and put them on their hands. Then they turned around and took the guillotines handed over by their comrades.

Basketball sounds a bit nonsense, and it doesn't seem to be something that should have appeared in that era, but this sport is indeed very popular within the Eighth Route Army.

As we all know, Mr. Hu, who started his career with two kitchen knives, has three major hobbies. That is smoking, dunking, and beating Zhang Moutao. And in terms of basketball level alone, none of the 100 reasons are his opponents.

Even under very difficult material conditions, this macho man has always regarded sports activities as an important part of military construction.

Basketball was popularized in the army by Commander Hu, and the 120th Division also organized a combat basketball team.

Many outsiders know this hobby, and even the Japanese and puppet troops know how to identify the headquarters of the 120th Division. After all, wherever there is a basketball court, there is Mr. Beard.

This man is known as a master of the court who plays basketball while playing devils and doubles with devils.

"After the war, he served as director of the Sports Committee for fourteen years."

You can say that the 120th Division lacks troops, or you can say that the 120th Division lacks artillery, but you can never say that the 120th Division lacks basketball.

With these insulation materials, engineers and soldiers can handle the power grid with confidence.

They first cut gaps in the grid with guillotines, and then put up prepared wooden boards. The soldiers of the entire regiment crossed the power grid through wooden planks and rushed towards the three mining areas where the Japanese were located.

————————————

At this moment, Fujimura Hiroto was already under great pressure. As the only squadron leader still defending in the Jingxing Coal Mine, this devil was about to curse his mother.

When the red flare flashed in the sky in the distance, he knew that there would be a massive enemy attack tonight.

As if to confirm this idea, all the circuits in the mining area were suddenly cut off.

In this situation, even he, a junior officer who crawled out from the dead, was a little panicked, let alone his soldiers who usually neglected training.

But this little boy knows that if he wants to survive, he can only rely on himself now.

After being attacked, the first thing he did was to strengthen his defenses as much as possible, and at the same time sent correspondents to ask for help from surrounding friendly forces.

After the circuit is cut off, the high-power radio station will definitely be unusable. This thing is a no-brainer.

However, small radios and walkie-talkies that use batteries and hand-cranked generators can still work normally.

The Japanese correspondent stumbled into the room, sent distress messages to Weishui Town, Pingshan County and Jingxing County respectively, and asked for help in contacting the Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade in Shimen.

When Hiroto Fujimura and his adjutant hid in the artillery building and looked out, they realized how many attacking Eighth Route Army troops they had to face now.

Although there are no searchlights, the visibility of the entire battlefield is very poor.

But with the help of the moonlight, I saw countless groups of the Eighth Route Army forming skirmish lines on this small day, attacking them like a sea of ​​people. Moreover, these enemies seem to have updated their equipment, and the original worn-out hats have been replaced by steel helmets.

Under the current circumstances, Fujimura Hiroto did not dare to think about protecting the coal mine and equipment.

As the 1st Squadron went to inspect the damaged Shota Railway, the 3rd Squadron went to perform routine rural clearing activities. At this time, there were less than 200 professional soldiers left in the three huge mining areas.

Even if we include those mine policemen who are so powerful that they can only be assigned a maximum of about a hundred people to each location. The number of enemies on the opposite side was at least five times theirs, and this battle was doomed to fail from the beginning.

Thinking of this, the desperate Fujimura Hiroto roughly pushed away the machine gunner in front of him. He directly took over the Type 92 heavy machine gun and fired wildly at the Eighth Route Army below.

Due to the lack of lighting, it is difficult to achieve an effective kill by relying solely on moonlight. In this small day, the bullets were fired one after another, but the casualties caused were completely insignificant to the first battalion.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army getting closer and closer to the gun tower, Fujimura Hiroto left the machine gun and drew out his command knife. He kept urging his soldiers to increase the frequency of shooting.

But at this moment, a violent explosion sounded below the turret, and a powerful impact directly opened a gap in this "strong" fortress.

Countless wooden-handled grenades were thrown in from the gap, and Fujimura Hiroto knew that there was no way back now. This little day, he gritted his teeth and adjusted the collar of his military uniform, then launched the last attack in his life downwards.

Alas, being able to buy the Varyag is inseparable from the boss’s only son.
