Chapter 475: Steady Gains, No Losses

Zhongtiao Mountain, Hunan, Northern Jiangxi, and Jindong China are in shambles, and the armies of both sides are fighting fiercely in this rich land, and people are falling every minute.

With the cooperation of the air force and armored troops, it took only two days for the little devils to control all the exits and positions on the periphery of Nakajo Mountain, and then the Japanese army began to encircle and advance to the inner side of Nakajo Mountain.

He Yingqin already knew that the defeat was decided, even if he still had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands at this time, but he had just taken office as the commander-in-chief of Zhongtiao Mountain, except for his own guard troops, he didn't know where the troops below were stationed, and the hundreds of thousands of troops were in chaos.

In just two days ago, they received more than 5,000 prisoners, the commander of the 15th Division, Cunqi, was wounded and captured, and many senior generals of the Yunnan Army were martyred.

Chairman Jiang, who was far away in Chongqing, watched the telegram from Zhongtiao Mountain, and his hands trembled angrily, but who could blame him? Blame the little devil or blame He Yingqin, Liao Fan has already warned in advance, but no one can pay attention to it, and he should bear the consequences of all this.

There is a fierce battle taking place on the front line, and of course it is the follow-up troops who receive the prisoners, 5,000 prisoners is not a small number, the little devils do not use trains or trucks to pull them, they still need these means of transportation to pull the materials needed for the operation, so these prisoners can only go to the rear step by step under the surveillance of the Japanese army.

"We Taiyuan sent a wing, these prisoners were received by us, this is our ID!" Shao Zuo, a little devil, said to the little devil who was escorting the prisoners with a fluent Japanese soldier.

The little devil's captives checked Shaozuo's documents and confirmed that they were correct: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, these captives will be handed over to you!" ”

"Don't worry, we'll definitely escort these captives back safely!"

In this way, more than 5,000 prisoners who had just been captured were taken over halfway, and no one knew where they were going next, only to see a huge group of Chinese soldiers being escorted east by the Japanese.

Hu Guoshan's troops were already fighting their own companies, and Hu Guoshan did not dare to attack the places where a large number of Japanese troops were hoarding around, and where there were few Japanese troops, there were too many troops in one battalion, so Hu Guoshan decided to only pick soft persimmons.

However, today Hu Guoshan received an urgent order from Liao Fan to concentrate the troops of two to three regiments and advance ten to twenty kilometers to the area occupied by the little devils to prepare to receive a group of people.

Ten to twenty kilometers is not a small number, especially since the little devil is already highly vigilant in Jindong.

"Brother Fan, what is this for? Don't you want it anymore? Hu Guoshan didn't understand what Liao Fan meant.

"Brother Fan's order is so strange, even if the situation in Zhongtiao Mountain is critical, there is no need to make such a big sacrifice, we are unilaterally rushing forward, and it is easy to be cut off by the little devil!" Zhao Caizhu didn't understand what Liao Fan meant, "Is this an order conveyed by someone pretending to be Brother Fan?" ”

Hu Guoshan picked up the order and read it again, he knew Liao Fan's handwriting, and this order was written by Liao Fan himself.

"There's no way, carry out the order, I believe Brother Fan won't send us to do something to kill us!" Hu Guoshan thought about it and said that they believed in Liao Fan on military issues, and they believed it unconditionally.

"Lao Zhao, you take a regiment of troops and howitzers to stay in Heshun County, and be ready to support at any time, I will take the remaining three regiments and all our mountain artillery mortars to prepare to carry out Brother Fan's order."

"Lao Hu, it's better for me to lead the team, you stay in Heshun County!"

"Don't fight, I hope Brother Fan won't push us into the fire pit!"

Hu Guoshan knew that Liao Fan would not pit his own people, but thinking of Liao Fan's inexplicable order, Hu Guoshan felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't figure out what Liao Fan was asking them to do.

Hu Guoshan concentrated the strength of most of his division and began to attack westward with all his might. Hu Guoshan concentrated his first target on the town of Hengling, the place where the Japanese army had amassed the most troops around the county town of Heshun.

Since he had mobilized most of the division's strength and so many artillery pieces, Hu Guoshan prepared a big meal for the little devils.

The heavy artillery bombardment soon covered the position of the little devil in Hengling Town, where a company of nearly 3,000 Japanese troops was stationed, and the commander of the Japanese wing immediately ordered all troops to enter the position and prepare for defense.

However, Hu Guoshan finally had so many artillery, and he had a feeling that he was poor and rich, and if he didn't make good use of it, he was sorry for these little devils.

The artillery covered the little devil's position for a whole hour, and the captain of the little devil's wing had never seen the Chinese army use such dense and long artillery fire, and the fortifications on the surface of their position were completely destroyed, and the strength of a brigade that organized the defense in the front had been destroyed.

The captain of the little devil wing looked at the fire on the position and his heart was like a knife, his troops had no combat effectiveness like this, and what about the bayonets that he said? As for the spirit of Great Japanese Bushido, the enemy has not seen the shadow, and the strength of his brigade has lost more than half of its personnel.

However, this was not the end, Hu Guoshan ordered the flying thunder cannon to move quickly within the firing range, and launched a second shelling at the little devil. The poor Japanese wing commander, who finally saw the end of the artillery fire and had the opportunity to fight the enemy, hurriedly sent two squadrons of soldiers into the frontal position, but Hu Guoshan did not want to give him a chance to fight with a bayonet at all.

Explosive packets began to fly in the sky, huge explosives packets fell from the sky, this one is even more powerful than a howitzer, and a single explosion can bury people alive.

The continuous shelling blew up a huge gap in the front position of the little devils, and Liao Fan ordered one regiment of soldiers to charge from the front, and the other two regiments detoured from the side to surround the little devils in Hengling Town.

After the overwhelming artillery shells, there was an overwhelming infantry, and the soldiers soon rushed to the position of the little devil, who thought that he finally had a chance to fight you head-on with bayonets. But Hu Guoshan still didn't give the little devil a chance, and the vanguard troops who rushed to the position each had a submachine gun in their hands, and the continuous firepower beat the Japanese soldiers who were just about to jump up and fight bayonets into a sieve.

The infantry in the rear swarmed up, the Japanese began to rout, retreating to the rear, and the two regiments, which had already been roundabout, immediately surrounded from all sides, and the Japanese were powerless, because these Chinese soldiers did not fight with them with bayonets at all, and opened fire when they saw them.

After a fierce battle for most of the day, Hu Guoshan led his troops to eliminate all the Japanese troops in Hengling Town.

"Arrange a battalion of troops to hold Hengling Town, you can't retreat without my order!" This offensive battle went smoothly, and the casualties of the troops were not large, but Hu Guoshan and his troops had to divide their troops and garrison Hengling Town.

"Division commander, where is our next attack?" The three regiment commanders came up and asked, this battle was too painful, and it was completely one-sided.

"Beizhai Township!" Hu Guoshan slowly said three words.

"Divisional commander, why isn't it Yang Zhanxiang?" A regimental commander asked.

"There is only one squad of Japanese soldiers in Yangzhan Township, and the rest are all puppet soldiers, do you think we have a sense of accomplishment to fight the puppet army with such good equipment?" Hu Guoshan said, "Don't be verbose, act immediately, what we need now is speed, and before all the little devils in Jindong react, we will hold the place where we are defeated!" ”

"How many days are we going to keep watch, division commander?"

Hu Guoshan scratched his head, and Liao Fan didn't tell him after a few days: "Wait for the order, nothing must retreat without my order, and those who violate the order will be shot on the spot!" ”

When the Japanese army attacked Zhongtiao Mountain on a large scale, Jindong was already in a mess, and there were calls for help everywhere, and the commander of the little devils had no reinforcements to support them except for ordering them to hold on.

The cannons rumbled on the land of Jindong, and the towns and towns where the little devils and puppet armies were stationed were broken one by one, and many puppet troops surrendered without a fight, and the Japanese troops stationed there were very passive.

For two days, Hu Guoshan led his three regiments to break through the surrounding five towns in a row, but his back was also facing the danger of being cut off by the Japanese army, especially the Japanese troops from the two counties of Pingding and Xiyang were assembling and preparing to attack south, intending to take advantage of the emptiness of Heshun County's troops, preparing to break through Heshun County in one fell swoop, so as to cut off Hu Guoshan's retreat.

When the time comes, the Japanese army conquered Zhongtiao Mountain, occupied Heshun County by the way, and then eliminated 10,000 people in a division of the New 33rd Army, which was not too good for the Japanese army in Shanxi, and the commander of the little devil began to dream of his own Spring and Autumn Festival.

However, in the evening of this day, a captain walked into Hu Guoshan's headquarters with a soldier, this captain was a captain of the special operations brigade, and he conveyed Huang Changsheng's order to Hu Guoshan.

"What? Captives of five thousand? Hu Guoshan couldn't believe that so many prisoners came out of nowhere.

"Yes, our division commander asks Master Hu to be ready to receive it, and at the same time keep this matter as secret as possible, because we will continue to receive prisoners!" Captain said.

It turned out that the thing Liao Fan discussed with Huang Changsheng was to receive the soldiers captured by the little devil from Zhongtiao Mountain, Zhongtiao Mountain has nearly 200,000 troops, many of which were captured in formation, as long as they were given a gun, they could return to the battlefield at any time.

After two days and one night of walking, Huang Changsheng finally arrived at Xima Township, which Hu Guoshan had just occupied, with the vanguard of the first batch of captives.

"Captain Huang, you guys are doing a big deal!"

Hu Guoshan, who already knew what was going on, couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the arrival of the prisoners of war, and he received five thousand prisoners of war in the hands of the little devil, which was really unimaginable.

"Old Hu, arrange the wounded back first, and then find them some food, two days and one night, they haven't gotten a drop of water, and if they continue like this, it is estimated that their group of people will be exhausted to death, I don't want us to work hard to send back a pile of dead bodies," Huang Changsheng suddenly remembered something, and said softly to Hu Guoshan, "By the way, there are a few seriously injured people who are specially cared for, you must arrange for someone to personally send them back to Taihang Mountain and tell Brother Fan about this!" ”

"What do you mean, there are some of these captives who are particularly noble?" Hu Guoshan asked.

"Lao Hu, Lao Hu, I don't have a long memory after so long, the affairs of the special combat team, you will know what you should know, what you shouldn't know......"

"Gotta gotcha, you are becoming more and more like Brother Fan, I thought there was nothing we couldn't say between our brothers, since I don't want to say it, I don't want to listen to it!" Hu Guoshan waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Huang Changsheng's businesslike style.

Huang Changsheng glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he quietly leaned on Hu Guoshan's ear and said a few words.

"I'm obedient, your business is really sure to make a profit, but Brother Fan's doing things is a bit unauthentic, the most important thing, my old Hu worked hard, and I didn't know what happened until now!" Hu Guoshan was surprised at first and then dissatisfied.
