Predator Reborn

Chapter 137 Tong Pu trapped in the enemy

The two regiments that the 129th Division came to reinforce were the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment. When Liu Hua saw these two regiments, he immediately thought of Ye Chenghuan, the commander of the 772nd Regiment who died in history.

We know that Ye Chenghuan died in this anti-encirclement and suppression battle. But now that he is here, he has completely changed the anti-war pattern of the entire Shanxi battlefield, so maybe Ye Chenghuan, who died in history, will not die.

Before the meeting at the headquarters, Liu Hua called the political commissar, and the two jointly drafted a combat order for the two regiments that came for reinforcements. They also sent it to the temporary headquarters of the two regiments as quickly as possible.

.

At this time, the two regiments happened to be hiding in a small mountain village less than fifty miles away from Tongpa Road. Seeing the telegram from the Shanxi East Command, the two regiment commanders were stunned and used the strength of the two regiments to hold them back.

The two regiments of the Japanese army have heavy troops, and they will be held back for half a month." Looking at this order, the two regiment commanders sat dully at the table and smoked cigarettes.

"Old Ye, what do you think of our mission this time!" Xu Shenji, the leader of the 771st Regiment, looked at Ye Chenghuan who was smoking and said.

"Old Xu, there is nothing to say. Resolutely complete the mission. This time, division commander, our two regiments will be sent to Jindong to participate in the anti-mopping up. On the one hand, it is to support the independent brigade in Jindong. On the other hand, it is to train troops. When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, soil will come.

Tun." Ye Chenghuan, leader of the 772nd Regiment, replied.

"The mission must be completed resolutely, but our troops, ammunition... well, let's not talk about it. I hope that after this battle is over, we can bring more veterans back." Xu Shenji, the regiment leader, said with a sigh.

"Yes, each soldier now has less than 20 rounds of ammunition, and only 5 grenades, not to mention artillery shells. Several mortars have only dozens of rounds in total, and the average is less than ten rounds each.

This was specially strengthened by us to reinforce the Jindong battlefield. The Japanese have two regiments..." After hearing what Commander Xu said, Ye Chenghuan also felt inspired.

The temporary command headquarters fell into silence once again.

"Report to the leader, there is a company from the Jindong base area at the entrance of the village to contact us to see if we can let them go." Ye Chenghuan looked at the chief of staff in front of him and said without any expression: "Let their commander come to the headquarters."

"Haha, Lao Ye, there is only one company here. I wonder if Commander Liu needs a company to contact him for something. I really don't understand." Commander Xu said jokingly.

"Hey, won't you know when they come in later and ask?"

Soon, a strong man carrying a shell gun walked into the temporary headquarters under the leadership of the chief of staff. Looking at the two chiefs in front of him, Huang Zhonghua, the commander of the first baggage company, immediately saluted: "Report to the two chiefs, Jindong Logistics

The baggage company from the Department came to report."

After listening to Huang Lianzhang's words, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned. The baggage company was carrying a baggage company. Why did the baggage troops come here? "Huang Lianzhang, I wonder if there is any important matter why the headquarters sent you here?" Ye Chenghuan asked with confusion on his face.

"Reporting to the two chiefs, the first baggage company, under the order of the headquarters, escorted a batch of ammunition and handed it over to the 771st and 772nd Regiments. At this time, I would like to ask the two chiefs to review the list of supplies." He said, taking it from his pocket.

He took out a list and handed it to Captain Ye Chenghuan in front of him.

At this time, the two regiment leaders felt very complicated. However, when they heard that the escorted ammunition was handed over to them, they couldn't help but look happy and took the list from Huang Lianzhang's hand with expectation. Captain Ye Chenghuan unfolded the list in his hand.

, looked carefully, but, slowly, the hands holding the list began to tremble unconsciously. At the same time, the lips began to tremble.

Looking at Ye Chenghuan with trembling hands, Captain Xu next to him became anxious: "Old Ye, what is it? You are talking! You see your hands are trembling."

"Old Xu, come here and see, see for yourself, now we have ammunition..." Captain Ye said excitedly.

"Oh my God, there are so many. Now the soldiers will not fight the Japanese with bayonets." Seeing the numbers on the list, Captain Xu exclaimed loudly. Indeed, 200,000 rounds of ammunition were in the Eighth Route Army

It is indeed a big number in the team. "There are so many mortar shells and landmines? Lao Ye, it seems that Commander Liu has prepared them in advance. Haha, now my subordinates

The artillerymen can finally have a good time." Commander Xu continued with a smile.

Hearing Commander Xu's words, Ye Chenghuan also smiled. You know, he has been a Red Army member for such a long time, and he has never received so much ammunition from his superiors before. "Captain Huang, where are these ammunitions now?"

!" Captain Ye asked with excitement on his face, pulling Huang Zhonghua's hands in front of him.

"Reporting to the chief, all ammunition is now at the entrance of the command department and is ready for acceptance at any time." Huang Zhonghua saw the excited chiefs and finally realized why the commander had to allocate his own ammunition to support these two regiments.

It’s just too...

"Come on, Captain Xu, stop looking. Let's go see the ammunition outside." Walking to the door, I saw several large trucks parked in front of the command department with various boxes piled on them. "The guard company

, immediately help the comrades in Jindong carry the ammunition." Ye Chenghuan looked at the ammunition in front of him and shouted excitedly. Soon, with the help of hundreds of people, several large carts of ammunition were transported all at once.

Looking at the piles of ammunition in the room, the two of them were in a particularly good mood, no longer as dull as before.

"Haha, Lao Ye, with these ammunition, we have enough capital to fight with the two regiments. This time we must make the two Japanese regiments peel off even if they are not dead." Commander Xu said with a smile.

.

With the ammunition, the two men were confident enough to start arranging combat tasks calmly. Except for the two regiments each leaving one battalion for mobile operations, the remaining troops all used companies and platoons as basic combat units.

Enough bullets and a certain number of mines were scattered along the entire Tongpu line.

Perhaps because the Tongpu Railway was too far away from the base area, the Japs actually launched their attack a few days earlier than other Japs. However, the Japs who had just left the county had a taste of what guerrilla warfare was. It turned out that a company of the 771st Regiment

They actually touched the Japanese base camp. Under the cover of night, they laid a mine on the road at the gate of the city and sprinkled countless iron nails and gravel on the mine. After completing the mission, the company became silent again.

They retreated, and just like that, a loaded mine was planted by the Eighth Route Army at the gate of the Japanese city.

In the morning, the city gate opened. A squadron of the Japanese vanguard, led by the squadron leader, walked out of the city gate in a majestic manner. But he had not yet left the city gate 200 meters. A violent explosion pushed him off his horse, and the squadron leader's third

His first reaction was to encounter enemy shelling, and he shouted loudly, "Enemy is attacking, hurry up, hide quickly!" After shouting, he also lay on the ground.

However, when the smoke on the highway cleared, the Japanese squadron leader never heard another explosion. Looking towards the place where the explosion occurred, he saw a big hole in the middle of the highway, and there were several Imperial soldiers next to it.

The soldiers were wailing.

"Baga, it's a landmine, not an artillery bombardment. Hurry, go treat the wounded and collect casualty data." The squadron leader who learned that he had been fooled shouted loudly, and slowly walked towards the explosion point.

I saw a half-meter deep pit blown out on the road. At least a dozen elite Imperial Army soldiers were injured next to it. You could also see several stumps and broken arms next to the pit. The casualties were quickly counted.

"A total of 5 soldiers of the avant-garde squadron were crushed and 18 were injured. Most of the injured imperial soldiers were hit by explosives such as nails, gravel and other explosives thrown up by the explosion, and 6 of the imperial soldiers lost their combat effectiveness."

"Baga, you despicable Eighth Route Army man, report to the colonel immediately and ask for engineering support." The squadron leader cursed loudly.

The captain of the regiment who had not left the city suddenly heard a huge explosion in front of the team. Suddenly, the entire marching team stopped. Just when he was about to ask what happened in front, the report of the vanguard squadron was sent to him.

in hand.

"Baga, before the war started, I lost a combat squad. I ordered the engineering team to run forward to support the vanguard squadron." The commander of the regiment said loudly.

Soon, the engineer team who received the order arrived at the explosion point. Seeing the deep pit where the explosion occurred, the team leader immediately knew that the mine was a high-explosive mine with iron nails and other shrapnel added. No wonder why the troops suffered so many casualties.

The squad leader didn't stop for long, and immediately ordered the accompanying demining soldiers to start a slow search on the road. However, they continued to advance for hundreds of meters and never encountered a single mine. At this time, the commander behind him was angry.

Zu stayed at the gate of the city for half an hour, but failed to gain anything. He immediately ordered the engineering team to stop clearing mines, and the troops immediately moved forward...

The Japs' commander didn't know that this mine was just a small appetizer, and there were better dishes waiting for him and his squad behind.

Less than an hour after the entire regiment started marching again, "Bang, bang, bang..." a volley of gunshots rang out on the hillside next to the highway. The sound of gunshots that suddenly occurred to the marching column knocked down more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.

At the sound of gunfire, the entire marching group immediately fell to the ground. The machine gunners set up their light machine guns to fight back. The bullets made the leaves fly, but they couldn't hurt anyone, and they could only waste hundreds of rounds of bullets.

It turned out that a platoon of the 772nd Regiment was ambushing here, and they quickly retreated after firing. After a Japanese squadron surrounded them, there were only dozens of bunkers and dozens of bullet casings on the ground.

, there was nothing. I wanted to chase him, but I couldn't see the enemy's shadow, so the squadron leader who led the team had to give up and report back to the company leader.

Such things kept happening during the march of the Japs. In just one morning, the Japs encountered seven attacks. Although dozens of casualties were nothing to the imperial army with a regiment, but a whole

In the morning, the troops have only traveled less than 20 miles. If this continues, when will they arrive in eastern Shanxi...

With this method of warfare, there was a mine in the east and a volley of guns in the west. A few artillery shells were fired from time to time, which completely stunned the Japanese. The entire Japanese regiment was completely turned around by the strength of one regiment. They could not sleep at night and could not march during the day.

...I was completely entrusted along the road with Tongbu...
