Chapter 15: The First Battle

Zhang Yunfei looked around, this is a relatively flat terrain, overgrown with bushes, using the cover of these bushes, Zhang Yunfei led the remaining dozen or so special combat team members to quietly lurk less than two hundred meters away from the little devil.

Seeing that Guo Wencheng, who was a few hundred meters away, led more than a dozen special combat team members into the combat position, Zhang Yunfei quietly made a gesture to Guo Wencheng to prepare to fire. Guo Wencheng also replied with a ready gesture after seeing it.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Zhang Yunfei raised his hand to shoot a point, and several little devils in the distance fell in response, seeing that Zhang Yunfei had fired, the rest of the special combat team members also opened fire, and suddenly, there was the unique "da, da, da" sound of Thomson's Chongfeng gun everywhere.

The little devil was stunned by the sudden powerful firepower, and before he could react, the little devil made a special combat team gun one after another.

[***] on the small mound on the opposite side saw that the little devil's firepower suddenly weakened, and the sound of the peak gun sounded around the little devil, knowing that they had encountered reinforcements, everyone suddenly came to their senses.

A [***] captain-like soldier suddenly stood up and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, everyone rush!" With that, he rushed down the mound with his gun in hand.

Under everyone's two-sided attack, more than 70 little devils in an infantry squad were wiped out in less than 5 minutes. Looking at the corpses of the little devils all over the ground, Zhang Yunfei ordered the special combat team members to check if there were any little devils who had not lost their breath, and if they were not dead, they would make up for the shot.

Captain [***] in the distance walked quickly in front of Zhang Yunfei and said gratefully: "Comrade, thank you for breaking the siege just now, otherwise it would be really difficult for us to break through." ”

This group was surprised to see that it was the Eighth Route Army that broke the siege, and they were also very surprised at first, there were still very few Eighth Roads in Shandong, and most of them were backwardly equipped, mainly in the form of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, seeing Zhang Yunfei Although they were not many in number, they were well-equipped, each of them was equipped with a submachine gun, accurate marksmanship, and sophisticated combat skills, most of the little devils just now were shot by the Eighth Route Army, and when they led everyone to rush down from the mound and prepare to fight bayonets with the little devils, few of the little devils were alive.

Because of this, Captain [***] became more and more respectful in front of Zhang Yunfei and them.

Seeing the gratitude and respect on the faces of the [***], Zhang Yunfei said lightly: "It's nothing, don't thank us, everyone is Chinese, mutual help is right, by the way, may I ask which unit your army belongs to?" ”

The captain hurriedly replied: "We are the 122nd Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 306th Regiment of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, and I am the company commander Wang Feng, dare to ask which unit your army is?" ”

"Oh, it's the comrades of the Sichuan Army! We are the 359th Regiment of the 719th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, it is estimated that the reinforcements of the little devils are also arriving soon. Zhang Yunfei said.

Hearing that Zhang Yunfei asked his troops to clean up the battlefield, [***] Captain Company Commander Wang Feng said excitedly: "Most of these little devils were killed by you, and these equipment are also yours, you mean to give us these equipment." ”

Seeing Zhang Yunfei nodding lightly, Captain Company Commander Wang Feng happily ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and the equipment of an infantry squad of the army alone had more than 60 pieces, as well as a few crooked handles and two 60 mm mortars.

Seeing that the [***] brothers were happily cleaning the battlefield, some soldiers even took off the little devil's leather shoes and put them on their frozen red feet, and the little devil's body was also carefully searched over and over again, Zhang Yunfei was full of emotion.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops went out of Sichuan, and without supply, they participated in the Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Xinkou, and the Battle of Nanjing with their poor equipment and tenacious will, and each time they dealt a heavy blow to the army.

The 122nd Division of Wang Mingzhang's department is a pure "straw sandal and rifle" Sichuan army's children, "pedaling tattered straw sandals, wearing shabby military uniforms, carrying home-made rifles on their shoulders, and hanging Sichuan home-made "twist grenades" on their chests are the image representatives of the 3 million Sichuan army that year.

This is an army that is poorly equipped to the point of being unusable, and this is a force that is undersupplied to the point of "almost nothing". However, it was this contingent of the Sichuan army, which was not strictly speaking a regular army, that broke through the great reputation of "the Sichuan army can fight" and "no army without Sichuan" by virtue of its tenacious fighting spirit and sacrificial spirit.

Xinkou War, Taierzhuang War, Songhu War, Nanjing War, Wuhan War...... In the smoke of artillery fire, the straw shoes of the Sichuan army stepped out of solid footprints.

Most of them are illiterate, and it is difficult for them to speak generously. In troubled times, they instinctively threw themselves into a great patriotic war, and some of them once carried the infamy of participating in the civil war, and at the critical moment of life and death of the country and the nation, they fought for the national territory and national reading, which really awakened their mission and honor as a soldier. The fire-like passion and unyielding spirit in their bodies made even the enemy have to be convinced.

In the following conversation with Captain [***], it was learned that they were the vanguard of the 122nd Division, and their division received an order from the top to hold Teng County for 3 days and wait for the arrival of the Tang Enbo Corps. The main force of the division headquarters will reach Teng County today.

If history has not deviated, at dawn on the 16th, that is, tomorrow, more than 5,000 people of the cavalry wing and the vanguard field infantry wing of the Yue army will appear in the eastern suburbs of Teng County, and more than 20,000 people of the 6th Division of the Yue Army will encircle Teng County in the morning.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, dozens of Type 92 infantry guns of the field artillery wing of the 6th Division of the Yue Army will shell Teng County for two hours, and in the afternoon, the Yue Army will break through Teng County, and then the Sichuan Army and the Yue Army will start a tragic street battle, and two days later, more than 5,000 people of the 122nd Division were all killed and martyred, including Lieutenant General Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 122nd Division.

This was one of the most tragic battles in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Since he has come here, he will make the army pay a heavy price.

In the grateful eyes of more than 100 Sichuan army brothers, Zhang Yunfei led the special operations team to embark on another journey.

All the way to the northeast, there is no point in entering Teng County to the east, Teng County's defense is naturally responsible for the 122nd Division, Zhang Yunfei's plan is to lead the special combat personnel into the Yue Theater to look for fighters, to see if they can deal a heavy blow to the Yue Army and give strong support to the 122 Division that is firmly defending Teng County.

After a few hours of marching, Zhang Yunfei began to see a large number of troops, the few were thousands of people, and when the army was lined up in a long marching line, there was no end in sight.

After an afternoon in Tengxian County, the sky slowly began to darken, and Zhang Yunfei led the special combat team to find a small village to prepare to rest here tonight.

Because of the war, the people in the vicinity all ran away, and the whole village was empty, Zhang Yunfei found a family at random, and the soldiers began to make a fire to cook, tired for a day, full of food and drink, and left a few soldiers on guard, and the rest of the soldiers seized the time to rest.

The next day, just after dawn, the faint sound of gunfire began in the direction of Tengxian outside, and it seemed that the battle in Tengxian had begun.

Zhang Yunfei and the soldiers hurriedly finished breakfast and moved closer to the outskirts of Teng County.

As soon as they walked more than a dozen miles, the special combat team members in charge of reconnaissance in front came to report that they had found a large number of devil soldiers in a valley in front of them.

Hearing that there was an enemy situation, Zhang Yunfei led the special combat team members to quietly climb a small hill, and through the telescope, they finally saw this group of little devils clearly.

Obviously, it is an artillery wing of the devils, and the devils are building an artillery position, and the position is about to be built, and the artillery on the position is neatly arranged, and the muzzle of the black hole is aimed at the direction of Tengxian.

The whole truck of shells had been delivered to the positions, and the little devils were busy unloading the shells from the trucks, and the whole position was quite a few people, at least two or three thousand, and in addition to the artillery and transport personnel, there was about one infantry brigade of guards.

The troops in charge of the guard, the cordon is very open, and there are mobile posts and patrol troops of devils hundreds of meters away, seeing this scene, Zhang Yunfei also frowned.

Obviously, it is impossible for him to lead the special combat team to eliminate this artillery position, not to mention the disparity in numbers, he will suffer a lot in the fight, and if the little devil turns the muzzle of the gun and gives himself a few shots, then he will not be able to eat and walk around.

But if you let yourself give up this opportunity, you are very unwilling, and you lead the special combat team to search hard, isn't it just looking for fighters?

It seems that the artillery position of this little devil is a hedgehog with thorns, and if you don't do it, you will get a scratch.

For a while, Zhang Yunfei fell into deep thought, and when Zhang Yunfei's eyes fell on the 60 mortar carried by a special combat member next to him, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, and a bold plan came out of his mind.

When the special combat team set off from Shanxi, Zhang Yunfei specially asked the soldiers to carry two 60-mm mortars, which seemed to be able to come in handy today.

The maximum firing range of this 60-mm mortar is 2,000 meters, and the visual distance from the artillery position of the little devil is about 1,500 meters.

As for the vigilant infantry brigade on the periphery of the little devil's position, it was already very scattered, and by the time they reacted and gathered their troops to pursue them, they were afraid that they had already fled.

Even if they are bitten by the devil's infantry brigade, they can take advantage of the dense bushes and complex terrain to get rid of them.
