At twelve o'clock, the rainstorm completely stopped, the dark clouds were dispersed, and in a short time, the sun rose and shone on the people's bodies, even with a little bit of heat.

In the area of Kongtan in the north and south, on the east bank of the Qin River, in the former Japanese military camp, Han Feng was quietly waiting for the return of the signal troops, hoping to bring him some useful information.

As for radio communications, with the efforts of Lao Hei, he was able to keep in touch with the first battalion and evade the decipherment of the Japanese signal corps by constantly changing the frequency and changing the frequency.

It's just that it is easy to be exposed, so in order to operate covertly in this battle, the six battalions of the new third regiment, as well as the independent regiment and the 17th regiment, mainly transmitted messages through their respective signal corps.

In the morning, the plane flew whistling overhead, and Han Feng realized a problem, the enemy's attack was ahead of schedule.

Soon, the information brought back by the signal soldiers when they returned also confirmed this:

"Report to the head of the regiment, at about ten o'clock in the morning, the county towns around Linfen were attacked by the Japanese army, and a large number of Japanese puppet troops moved into the Linfen area."

"Report to the regiment commander, at about eleven o'clock, the small part of the 17th Regiment has engaged the Japanese army, and in a guerrilla way to attract firepower, the main force is moving to the area south of Fushan, and wants to carry out a surprise attack from the tail of the Japanese army.

Commander Zhou ordered me to tell the regiment commander that the 17th Regiment Headquarters would guarantee the completion of the task, and that once the Japanese army besieged too many troops, the 17th Regiment Headquarters would withdraw from the Fushan area to Anze in accordance with the agreement, and join up with the Independent Regiment and cross the Qin River to the east. ”

"Report to the regiment commander, the second and third battalions of our department have taken control of the high ground west of Mabi, and the main force is currently approaching the west bank of the Qin River, ready to cross the Qin River east at any time to jump out of the enemy's encirclement."

"Report to the regiment commander, the 1st and 4th Battalions have successfully crossed the Qin River to the east, and have now occupied the high ground such as the bottom of the mountain and the poplar root on the east bank, and have set up ambushes in these places, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army."

Everything was still in his own expectations, and this anti-sweeping battle seemed to have gone very smoothly from the beginning, and Han Feng was somewhat relieved.

However, there is no news from the 5th Battalion in Zhangdong in the Lintun area, and the people in the county town in the Linfen area do not know what the situation is.

Han Feng knew that communication with each other must not be interrupted, and he ordered several communication platoons to be sent out.

Sure enough, this anti-sweeping battle could never be smooth sailing from beginning to end, and soon, the communications corps brought bad news:

"Report to the regiment commander, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the second battalion and the third battalion took the opportunity to cross the Qin River east and were discovered by the Japanese army, under the cover of the second battalion commander, the third battalion successfully crossed the Qin River eastward, after the fierce battle, the second battalion could not continue to cross the river under the encirclement of the Japanese army, the second battalion commander ordered, led the team to break through, left from the west bank of the Qin River, and is currently active in the mountainous area of Anze County."

"Report to the regiment commander, the first and fourth battalions are currently in a fierce battle with the Japanese army in the area at the bottom of the mountain, and it seems that this battle will not end in a short period of time, and a large number of Japanese troops are moving closer to the bottom of the mountain."

After the latest batch of returning communications soldiers finished reporting the intelligence, Han Feng frowned and fell into thought.

Now he will give the order temporarily, and wait for the signal soldiers to bring the order over, and the rapidly changing battlefield situation does not know what it will become.

Rather than this, he chose to trust several of his battalion commanders.

"Bring my orders to several battalion commanders and let them act at the opportunity, or what I said at the meeting before the battle, if you can, you won't fight.

In this sweep, the devil gathered so many troops and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to encircle and suppress us, just to fight us and destroy our living force, but we just can't do what he wants, as long as it drags on, sooner or later the devil will be dragged down.

If we want to fight, we must not delay, and we must lead the troops to settle the battle and quickly withdraw before the new round of encirclement by the Japanese army. ”

After the order was issued, Han Feng no longer had too many worries, he believed that his several battalion commanders were all figures who could take charge on their own, and it was better than commanding from such a distance.

What's more, Han Feng's battle ten on his side was also quickly tightened, at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The scouts were the first to report that the Independence Regiment had appeared two kilometers away from the west bank and was being pursued by the Japanese.

"It's finally here, Sixth Battalion Commander, you take two companies to pick up the old regiment commander, and in addition, send out the reconnaissance discharge, expand the search area by one kilometer, and prepare to cover the independent regiment across the river."

There was no need to say much about the tacit understanding between the two, and without Han Feng's order at all, Xu Zilin issued his first military order since the New Third Regiment.

Excitement and excitement are naturally there, even though Xu Zilin is not inferior to Han Feng in terms of military theory, but before the order is really given, Xu Zilin still subconsciously thinks:

If I were Lao Han, what would I do, how would I mobilize troops.

That's how she finally gave the order.

On the east bank of the Qin River, Han Feng, who was standing on the dirt slope to reconnoitre, noticed the transfer of the Sixth Battalion, and he ordered at the same time, "Duan Peng, let's cross the Qin River once, we are very experienced in crossing the river, send all the soldiers out, and prepare to lead the main force of the independent regiment to cross the Qin River eastward."

In addition, it is necessary to reconnoiter the movements of Japanese troops within a few kilometers of the surrounding area at any time, and to terminate the river crossing operation as soon as there is a situation. ”

"Yes."

"What about the pillars, call them to me."

When Wang Chengzhu, the sharpshooter of the new third regiment and the leader of the commando firepower group, was called in front of Han Feng, there was still an uncontrollable smile on his mouth.

These days, this kid is living too nourishing, why! It's a life that I never dreamed of before.

I think that Wang Chengzhu joined the Eighth Route Army and arrived in the new regiment, that is, an ordinary artillery scout in a defeated artillery battalion of the national army.

At that time, he had just joined the Eighth Route Army, and when the new regiment fought against the little devils, the whole regiment did not even have a grenadier in the whole regiment.

Every time he fought, watching the soldiers around him fall under the devil's artillery and machine guns one after another, Wang Chengzhu always thought that as long as he gave himself a mortar, even if it was a grenadier, it would never be possible for the little devil to be so arrogant.

Later, there was a Han Feng in the third class, and Wang Chengzhu also recognized the third brother.

Why do you want to recognize Han Feng as the third brother? Because Han Feng promised Wang Chengzhu to get him a mortar.

In this way, in less than half a year, the commando team had everything, grenadiers, mortars, battle defense artillery, Type 92, mountain artillery, Italian artillery, and the new regiment became rich.

Later, he went all the way, from the new regiment to the independent regiment, and then to the new third regiment, Wang Chengzhu handled more and more artillery, and his experience as a gunner was also increasing, plus his talent in artillery.

Soon, he went from an ordinary soldier to the current leader of the fireteam of the commando of the New Third Regiment.

It is no exaggeration to say that the number of artillery pieces in the hands of Wang Chengzhu's fire team is even more than that of a battalion of the New Third Regiment combined.

After all, the regiment commander gave him the privilege, and Wang Chengzhu could requisition all the baggage artillery of the new third regiment at any time.

In order to cooperate with the firepower team to burst out with effective firepower strikes in battle, Han Feng even specially transferred a reinforced platoon to obey Wang Chengzhu's orders.

As for the Japanese position on the east bank of the Qin River this time, it gave Wang Chengzhu an unexpected surprise, and it is no wonder that there is always a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Han Feng couldn't help but scold: "Pillar, what are you smirking at?" Are the fireteams all in place? ”

Wang Chengzhu said: "Report to the head of the regiment, the fire team is all in place, hehe, the head of the regiment, we have made a fortune again this time." ”

"What's the fortune?"

"Don't you know? Although there are not many devils here, that is, a squadron, what we didn't expect is that this is an arsenal of devils! Obediently, there are more than a dozen grenadiers alone, two of the 92 type, and one mountain cannon, hehe, there are only a lot more than the ones we captured in a big victory. ”

Han Feng said: "Look at your little interest, there are still more opportunities to make a fortune in the future!"

Less nonsense, after a while, the fire team will be on the whole, and Lao Tzu will not be reluctant to give up shells, and the range of all artillery will be adjusted to the maximum, not to be able to blow up the enemy, but to separate the enemy pursuing at the tail of the independent regiment, and cover the main force of the independent regiment to cross the Qin River eastward. ”

"Yes."
