Chapter 423: News from all sides

The loose rocks on the rock wall were shaken down, but the second underground floor was very safe, and even the sound of the cannon seemed to come from a long distance, in fact, the shells exploded a few meters above their heads.

Ma Wanzhong quietly listened to the sound of the little devil's cannon, and in half an hour, the little devil was about to occupy the fortifications above their heads, and at this time, the second underground floor was quiet, and Hu Guoshan could even hear the breathing of the communication soldiers around him.

The artillery fire ended after ten minutes, and five Japanese battalions launched an attack on the first line of defense from different directions, and the first place to be captured was the first line of defense.

The Japanese attack was very smooth on the front line, except for stepping on a few mines planted by Liu Chundao on the way forward, the little devil was not hindered in any way.

Finally occupying the first line of heaven, the captain of the little devil immediately sent a telegram to Gangcun Ningji to report the good news. Then the captain stood on a rock in the first line of heaven and looked at the entire first line of heaven, they were blocked by the first line of heaven for more than twenty days, countless warriors of the empire were buried in this place, and today he finally landed here.

However, in the distance, a sniper aimed at this arrogant little devil, the sniper did not know that this little devil was the captain of the Japanese army, only that he was an officer, and his ostentatious appearance immediately attracted his attention.

The sniper was waiting for an opportunity, constantly adjusting his breathing, and just as the captain of the little devil opened his arms and embraced Taihang Mountain, a bullet sent by death ended his life. After a one-shot kill, the sniper quietly moved away from the sky.

After receiving the news that the first line of heaven had been captured, Gangcun Ningji was very excited, and he immediately ordered the large army to move closer to the first line of heaven and prepare to attack the hinterland of the 33rd Independent Division's garrison from the first line of heaven. However, another piece of news came, which made Gangmura Ningji, who was just about to give the order, frown.

The attacking troops had already occupied the positions of the 33rd Independent Division on all fronts, which proved that the 33rd Independent Division had withdrawn on its own initiative and was not routed by them. In order to ensure that the Chinese army would not play tricks, Gangmura did not rush to the Chinese positions he expected to be in place, but let the attacking troops search the positions where the Chinese troops were stationed first.

After confirming that it was impossible for the Chinese army to leave a lethal means, Gangmura Ninji ordered a large force to occupy the positions of the Chinese army.

At noon, Gangcun Ningji had just finished inspecting the first line of defense of the occupied 33rd Independent Division, and he could not but sigh and admire the Chinese who commanded the construction of this defense line. Gangcun Ningci even felt that the 100,000-strong army had not captured this defense line for more than 20 days, which was really a matter of course.

However, Gangmura Ninji could not show any praise for the enemy in front of his men, who had just occupied the first line of defense of the 33rd Independent Division, and it was a good time to restore the morale of the troops, and it was impossible for him to raise the enemy's morale and destroy the prestige of his own people.

However, as the supreme commander, it was impossible for Gangmura Ningji to cheer, after all, he realized from now on that the unit of the 33rd Independent Division was not only strong in combat, but also outstanding in other aspects, and Gangcun Ningji was even more determined to annihilate the 33rd Independent Division.

Occupying the first line of defense is definitely a very big victory for the Japanese army who have been attacking frantically for more than 20 days, in order to reward all the soldiers for their efforts in this battle, mainly to improve the morale of the soldiers, Gangmura Ningji gave the little devil a half-day vacation, during this half a day, the soldiers can drink and revel, but they can never leave the defense line.

So the underground fortifications of the first line of defense of the 33rd Independent Division turned into a place for the little devils to revel, because the solidity of this place had already been proven by their artillery fire, so they did not fear that the 33rd Independent Division would inflict artillery fire on them.

Just when the little devils were reveling, they didn't know that there was still a pair of eyes staring at them on the battlefield, and they could tear a piece of meat from them at any time when they let their guard down the most.

……

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still hanging high in the western sky, and in a small county town in eastern Jindong, a person who looked like an ordinary person followed a neatly dressed businessman into a deserted courtyard.

The merchant asked the people a few questions, and finally determined that the two of them were from the same place.

"Our head asked me to come to you!"

It turned out that the two of them were soldiers of the 33rd Independent Division, ordinary people were platoon commanders of the Third Regiment, and businessmen-looking people were fighters of the special combat team. Originally, when they were on the street, the two of them had already exchanged codes, but for the sake of safety, the soldiers of the special combat team asked a few more private questions after entering the courtyard, such as whether Liao Fan drank and smoked, and whether Hu Guoshan's temper had changed.

Finally, after confirming the identity of the other party, the platoon commander of the third regiment explained his intention.

"I can't call the shots about this matter, I can only report this matter to our captain!" The fighters of the special combat team said to the platoon commander.

"How long will it take?"

"I'm not sure how long it will take, if the captain agrees, he will give the order directly, and we will try to arrange everything before you act!"

The platoon commander lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Tell Commander Huang that I hope he can hurry up." The platoon commander was about to leave the yard.

"Wait, what's going on at home?"

The platoon commander shook his head and said, "It's not good, I have to rush back in a hurry and report the situation to our regiment commander." ”

After saying that, the two of them left the courtyard one after the other.

In a small village where the special combat team assembled, there were only two special combat team fighters in the village at this time, and fortunately Huang Changsheng happened to be here today. When he heard the soldiers of the special combat team tell him that Hu Guoshan had something to look for him, Huang Changsheng's only feeling was that the situation in Taihang Mountain had become serious.

"How did the platoon commander of the third regiment find you?" Huang Changsheng asked the soldier, although Hu Guoshan's request was a top priority, but it was not a good sign that their special combat team was found so easily behind enemy lines.

"It wasn't him who looked for me, it was me who saw him suspicious on the street, so I took the initiative to contact him!"

Huang Changsheng nodded with satisfaction, he didn't believe that the special combat team couldn't even do the most basic secrecy, so they were in danger of being found by the little devils behind enemy lines.

"You go and contact the second squadron, let them take charge of this operation, and after receiving the order, let them rush to Heshun County as quickly as possible!"

Since the railway was repaired, the little devil launched an attack on Taihang Mountain, but the transportation of the railway line was harassed by a reconnaissance battalion, so the little devil was calling on migrant workers and prisoners of war to repair the road, and after 20 days of emergency repairs, the road that was destroyed by the 33rd Independent Division was finally repaired.

The traffic from Yangquan to Heshun County became unimpeded again, and in order to provide supplies for the front line, the little devils used the captured strong men to help them carry the supplies. Moreover, due to the shrinkage of troops, there are now more than 2,000 Japanese troops stationed in Heshun County.

Now the Japanese army is very tightly defending the important transportation hub in the east of Jindong, especially now that the Taihang Mountain is in a big battle, once the rear transportation line has a problem, then the entire offensive plan of the Taihang Mountain has to be delayed or even stranded.

In the face of the county town where the little devils are tightly patrolled, the soldiers of the special combat team have no way to sneak in through the gate of the county town, especially during the day, let alone sneak into the county town with weapons.

"We have to enter the county tonight!"

It has been a day and a night since the special combat team received the news, and although Hu Guoshan did not specify the specific time for action, judging from the contact situation, the most likely time for the three regiments to act is tonight.

Last night, Hu Guoshan received news from two sides, one news came from the Fifth War Zone, Hu Guoshan learned that the Fifth War Zone had begun a counteroffensive on all fronts under the orders of General Li Zongren, and the little devils were retreating step by step.

After hearing the news, Hu Guoshan understood why Gangcun Ningci came to Taihang Mountain, it turned out that Gangcun Ningci suffered a defeat in the Fifth War Zone, and the troops in his hands were not enough to carry out a full-scale attack on the Fifth War Zone, and now he needs Taihang Mountain, a new force.

The second news is the news of the special combat team, but although the special combat team is contacted, they get an uncertain answer.

"Regardless of the special combat team, we must act tonight, if the time drags on for a long time, I'm afraid that Brother Fan will have problems!"

Hu Guoshan decided that regardless of whether the special combat team would enter Heshun County tonight, they must act tonight. Heshun County is the transportation artery of Jindong, whether it is south or north, the location of Heshun County Card is just the only way to pass through the railway and highway.

After some discussion, Hu Guoshan and Zhao Caizhu decided to attack Heshun County tonight, and Heshun County was no stranger to the 33rd Independent Division, and they had already attacked Heshun County several times. However, now Heshun County is more than five times the strength of the usual Heshun County, and there are already more than 2,000 Japanese troops, not counting the puppet army.

After more than 20 days of fighting in Taihang Mountain, the third regiment has been seriously reduced, and in addition to the wounded and sick, the fourth regiment now has 4,500 soldiers, and this attack on Heshun County is very risky, and once the attack is frustrated, their morale will be seriously hit.

However, Hu Guoshan felt fortunate that a reconnaissance battalion cooperated with the third regiment to attack the railway lines and highway lines south of Heshun County, and in two days, Jin Sanshan and the reconnaissance battalion extorted a batch of materials from the puppet army in various towns and towns to give the soldiers of the third regiment as spare materials.

After everything was ready, Hu Guoshan and the others could only wait quietly for the night to fall, and tonight was the most desperate night for their three regiments.

"I took two soldiers to scout close to the county seat, and the rest of the soldiers rested in place, and when we came back, we were discussing how to enter the county seat!" The captain of the special operations team said to his soldiers.
