When Wang Ziming heard this, he not only admired: "It's so encouraging, we are so close to the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, but we don't know that such a big thing happened during this period, no wonder the little devil suddenly launched an autumn sweep against my base area, this is revenge." ”

Lei Jian nodded and said: "Comrade Ziming is right, in the first stage of the attack, from August 20 to September 10, our Eighth Route Army completed the initial combat mission under the efforts of more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians.

In light of the speed and scope of the campaign, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army drew up a plan for 'expanding the results of the battle and extending the development to the outside world,' submitted it to the Yan'an General Headquarters for approval, and immediately sent it to all military regions and corps, ordering all units to launch the second phase of the 100-regiment battle from 22 September.

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region mainly carried out the Lailing Campaign, the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region conducted the Yuliao Campaign, and the main front of the main division (120) was in Tongpu Road.

Senior General Okamura Ninji, commander of the Japanese North China Front, received an urgent report from the commanders of the railway and highway garrisons in the rear and immediately convened an emergency military meeting. ”

Commander Okamura stood in front of the map of the war room, holding a thumb-thick and delicate wooden stick, knocking on the main railway lines on the map, such as Zhengtai, Pingjin, Tongpu, Pinghan, and Bac Ninh, and said angrily: "Generals, the Eighth Route Army, more than 100 regiments, and more than 100,000 people have concentrated on destroying our main railway lines, destroying tracks, blowing up bridges, tunnels, stations, water towers, and communication equipment.

Because of your carelessness and the fact that the Eighth Route Army launched such a large-scale sabotage attack, slacked off without fighting, and passed the buck to each other, resulting in the interests of our Japanese Empire in North China suffering huge losses, the Army General Staff Headquarters demanded a thorough investigation of the incident and the inactive generals, do you understand? ”

"Okay, I didn't expect that we participated in the capture of the Jingcheng Coal Mine, the destruction of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge, the Laoye Mountain Resistance Battle, and the Lailing Battle, our only regiment was fortunate to participate in the first and second phases of the Hundred Regiments War, if I Wang Xiaoliang could live to see the defeat of the little devil, I must have married a beautiful daughter-in-law and had a lot of children, tell them that Lao Tzu was ...... back then."

Lei Jian looked at Wang Xiaoliang for a while, and he was dancing to look forward to the prospect, when he said that he was going to give birth to a lot of children, the sharp-eyed Lei Jian looked at Zhang Guanghua, but he didn't expect the two to be on the same page, Zhang Guanghua subconsciously blushed, and immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lei Jian again.

Everyone just heard something meaning, but they didn't expect to be interrupted by Wang Xiaoliang, a muddy boy, and just wanted to say a few words to him, at this time Zhang Guanghua seemed to react, she said angrily: "Xiaoliang, don't interject, Captain Lei won't think you're not there, be quiet and listen, okay?" ”

Wang Xiaoliang looked at everyone's eyes with complaints, and hurriedly waved his hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, Wang Xiaoliang is abrupt, Captain Lei continues, please continue." ”

Lei Jian shook his head with a smile, and then continued: The commander of the North China Front, Okamura Ningji, tore off his usual Sven mask, and his voice was almost roaring, and he almost exploded into a foul mouth.

The generals of the 1st Army Corps of the Japanese Army stationed in Shijiazhuang, the 2nd Army Corps stationed in Taiyuan, the 180th Division, the 36th Division, and the 110th Division stationed in the towns along the railway, as well as the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 26th independent mixed brigades, stood 'with a bang', their chests and stomachs bowed, and the commander of the First Army Corps, Kiyoshi Kazuki, first said: "Please Commander Okamura instruct us to work 100 times harder and send a large force to destroy the Tuba Road that attacked the railway and highway lines in our rear in North China. ”

General Okamura Ninji sneered and said: "Xiangyue-kun, the main force of your army and other troops has been transferred from the frontal battlefield to the rear to destroy the large force of the Eighth Route Army that broke the railway line, do you want our North China Front Army to abandon the large number of cities and transportation arteries that have been occupied, as well as the resource bases occupied?" Your thinking is too simple, too naïve. ”

"Hay, please make it clear to Commander Okamura." The commander of the Xiangyue Qingsi Corps attacked the Eighth Route Army with a hundred regiments this time, and at first he arrogantly thought that it was the small troops of the Eighth Route Army that sneaked up at night and ran away during the day as usual, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Due to carelessness and miscalculation, the Eighth Route Army's sabotage campaign was vigorously launched, and the more than 3,600 Japanese troops stationed along the railway line were simply unable to resist the continuous sabotage attacks of the huge Eighth Route Army.

General Okamura Ninji looked at Commander Kazuki Kiyoji with disdain again, this usually arrogant guy, heard Commander Okamura Ninji propose that the Army Headquarters should be held accountable, and finally lowered his head and recognized the cowardice of Commander Okamura to deal with him.

General Okamura faced the generals who were standing with their chests and stomachs bowed, and glanced at them with a majestic momentum and eyes, and ordered in a fierce voice: "The order ......." ”

Just when Lei Jian said this critical moment, a soldier ran in from the pit and reported nervously: "Report to Captain Lei, the little devil who digs the pit quickly digs through the key part connected to the pit inside, what should I do?" ”

Lei Jian ordered Wang Xiaoliang: "You lead a squad of guards, quickly rush to the mouth of the tunnel, stuff four ten-kilogram explosive bags from above, stretch the fuse, and detonate the explosives when the little devil is about to dig through, blow up the tunnel, bury the excavated devil in the soil and suffocate to death, block the hole, and prepare to implement the third setting to eliminate the devil who continues to dig into the tunnel." ”

Wang Xiaoliang said to Chu Shaopeng, the leader of the first squad: "Order the soldiers to bring four explosives bags, as well as pickaxes and shovels, and follow me." ”

More than a dozen soldiers, led by Wang Xiaoliang, soon came to the second setting, and saw a boulder of nearly 1,000 catties blocking the tunnel, and the earthwork under the boulder buried most of the boulder, and the little devil digging the pit was blocked by the boulder and the collapsed soil.

The Japanese squadron leader personally entered the tunnel to inspect it, ordered the soldiers to remove the mud and rocks, and continued to dig inside.

The little devil dug in front of the boulder, and there was no way to move in the face of nearly a thousand catties of boulder, and he did not dare to blast it, once the large area of the tunnel inside was blown up, the amount of excavation would be greater, and in desperation, the leader of the excavation team had to report to the captain of Ikeda.

Ikeda checked again, and found that he was indeed unable to move the boulder, so the bastard ordered a new tunnel to be dug again, bypassing the boulder and continuing to dig through it at all costs

Tunnel.

The leader of the devil squad asked puzzledly: "Captain Ikeda, the labor force of the Imperial Japanese Army, after hard excavation, twice touched the detonation mechanism that was deployed in advance by the Eighth Road of the Earth, and the tunnel collapsed and buried the soldiers in the soil, and after several rescues, all the jade was broken, why not bury the heavy explosives in the excavated tunnel, completely blow up the tunnel, and suffocate all the Eight Roads inside, this is a very good ......." ”

"Bastard, stupid pig, we found an important tunnel in Fuping City, the commander of the Katayama Brigade thinks that there must be the head of the Tubalu hiding in it, once they can all be arrested and interrogated strictly, even if there is a leader of the Tubalu who surrenders to the Japanese Imperial Army, they will be wiped out by the Tubalu and the anti-Japanese elements hidden in the city, do you understand?" Captain Ikeda said conceitedly.

The captain of the devil squad did not expect the commander of the Katayama Brigade to be so clever, so he respectfully saluted Captain Ikeda and shouted: "Please rest assured, squadron leader, I will lead the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army to dig the passage that connects with it in the shortest possible time." ”

He waved his hand to the devils around him and ordered: "Bypass the big stone blocking the tunnel, dig from the left side, and dig the tunnel quickly." ”

The exhausted little devil lazily picked up the pickaxe and dug a new tunnel even harder, and the hard soil went down with a pickaxe, digging a little bit of soil, and the digging speed was quite slow.

Wang Xiaoliang, who was in the tunnel, stepped on the collapsed soil and walked forward seven or eight steps, approached the big stone, put his left ear on the big stone, frowned and squinted and listened carefully, a group of soldiers didn't know what their deputy head Wang was doing, chattering and suspicious.

Wang Xiaoliang waved his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Don't be silent." ”

He listened with his ears pricked up for a while, jumped down from the mound in front of the big stone, and the first squad leader Chu Shaopeng asked, "Deputy Commander Wang, did you hear anything?" ”

"Heard, cunning little devil, must not be able to move this nearly 1,000 catties of boulder, come up with a trick to bypass the boulder, dig in from one side, if the enemy digs fast, it should be dug through within two hours." Wang Xiaoliang frowned and looked at the soldiers beside him and said.

Chu Shaopeng asked anxiously: "Deputy Head Wang, Regiment Commander Lei asked us to bury four five-kilogram explosive bags here, if we can't find a suitable location, it will detonate the explosive package, and it will not cause casualties to the little devils, maybe it will help the little devils, where do you say we start?" ”
