Chapter 13 The brigade commander has to treat me to a drink, good wine! The headquarters of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Yangcun. Six large trucks, guided by several Eighth Route Army soldiers on horseback, stopped directly in the open space at the entrance of the village. Qin Yangming jumped out of the car carrying a bag containing Nakamura Shaoxiong's head and ran towards the regiment headquarters. Li Yunlong, who had received the news long ago, was now anxiously walking back and forth in the regiment headquarters, smoking. After a while, the roar of a truck engine was heard. Li Yunlong immediately left the regiment headquarters excitedly and ran outside. He couldn't help but be excited, the Japanese command headquarters in Linyuan County was destroyed. This is a great achievement and also a great opportunity. In this way, Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming met halfway.
Qin Yangming didn't say much and directly handed the deputy officer's sword and Nakamura Shaoxiong's head to Li Yunlong. "Captain, this should be Nakamura Shaoxiong's head. Please send someone to confirm it." Li Yunlong took the package, opened it and took a look at it, then handed it to Hu Zi who was following behind him. "Well, I have ordered the first battalion to return as quickly as possible. The entire battalion will be back in service in half an hour at most." "Little bastard, you really gave me, Old Li, a big surprise." After the two talked for a while, Zhang Dabiao and two other battalion commanders also rode their horses and brought a few people back to Yang Village first. The three of them quickly arrived at the regiment headquarters. Political Commissar Zhong Zhicheng had also opened the map and prepared hot water, waiting for the three people to arrive. "I won't say any more nonsense." "You know the general situation. Xiao Qin destroyed the Japanese command center in Linyuan County. I decided to take advantage of the Japanese's chaotic command to destroy the Linzhen stronghold. We took down the four artillery towers that the Japanese had built in our base area." "Zhang Dabiao, the Linzhen stronghold is now handed over to your First Battalion. I will give half of the equipment Xiao Qin brought to your battalion. The Type 92 infantry guns and the regiment's machine gun platoon will also be added to your battalion." "I have only one request for you. Take down Linzhen stronghold within two hours!" "Captain, don't worry. One hour, I only need one hour, Make sure to capture the Linzhen stronghold!" Zhang Dabiao took off his hat and assured Li Yunlong with a firm look on his face. "The remaining equipment will be taken by the Second and Third Battalions, each taking half. Replace all the Hanyang-made rifles and old slides in the hands of all the soldiers.
Xiao Qin brought over at least 700 rifles. It was either the Type 38 rifle or the Type 65 rifle made by Yan Laoxi. Enough to replace the entire regiment’s equipment.” When Qin Yangming sent Goudan to wake up Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong was completely confused. Qin Yang had only been at the base for one day. It would have been fine if he didn't familiarize himself with the environment around the base first, but he also took people to attack the artillery tower. Later, he took someone with him and ran to the county town. Then tell him that the Japanese command center and arsenal in the county had been destroyed. When did the Japanese become so easy to defeat? The Japanese county town with tight defenses could be entered at will, and the Japanese headquarters could be taken down at will. If Goudan hadn't told Li Yunlong, Qin Yangming was driving a car with his men to deliver equipment to the regiment headquarters. He really thought he was dreaming. "As for the ammunition that Xiao Qin brought back, Enough for each soldier to have fifty. These are genuine bullets made by the devils. It's much better than the bullets in our headquarters arsenal that fall to the ground as soon as they leave the muzzle." "Xiao Qin, your vanguard company's mission this time is to deal with the artillery towers near the base. Destroy as many artillery towers as you can!" "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" After Li Yunlong completed the tasks, he arranged for Zhong Zhicheng to do the logistical support work, and then ordered the troops to set off. Qin Yangming also hurriedly took Goudan on horseback and rushed to the location of his troops. Zhong Zhicheng in the regiment headquarters looked at Li Yunlong with some concern. "Captain, we are going to mobilize the whole regiment. Should we inform the higher-ups about such a big matter?" "No, no, since the brigade commander has given me the autonomy, That means he definitely has no objection to me mobilizing troops, As long as we win, we will rely on this thing." Li Yunlong patted the bag on the table and said proudly to Zhong Zhicheng. "The brigade commander has to treat me to a drink, and it has to be good wine!" After returning to the company, Qin Yangming directly organized the soldiers to board the large truck, and drove the truck towards the target location with the remaining machine guns and mortars. There weren't any trees nearby, so the truck couldn't be hidden. Parking in an open space will only attract bombing by Japanese planes.
Rather than being blown up by the Japanese, it is better to make use of the remaining energy. Because Qin Yangming had already seized a large truck. Even if six vehicles were donated to the regiment headquarters, he still had five vehicles. Because they were traveling by truck, Qin Yangming and his troops arrived at the first target artillery tower in less than twenty minutes. At this moment, the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops in the artillery tower had no idea what had happened in the county town and were completely unprepared. Some puppet soldiers saw a truck coming and thought it was a Japanese truck, so they opened the fence early. "Order everyone to get ready and act according to the first plan! As soon as the truck stops, everyone gets out and starts fighting!" "Notice it to everyone, only the clothes will be judged, not the person. Kill all those with different clothes!" Seeing that the puppet army directly opened the fence to let them pass, Qin Yangming, who originally wanted to stop the car to fight, immediately changed his mind. The first plan was to drive directly into the blockhouse while the enemies in the blockhouse were still unaware of what had happened in the county. Then use firepower coverage to quickly kill the enemy troops in the turret. In order to increase the firepower of the troops, Qin Yangming distributed all the remaining light machine guns he brought back from the armory. All the light machine guns were concentrated in one squad, turning it into a machine gun squad with each member having a machine gun. Sixteen light machine guns, the firepower is enough to give the Japanese in the artillery tower a good beating. The truck rushed into the artillery tower and stopped violently. Just as several puppet soldiers were about to step forward to see what was going on, dense bullets were fired from the truck. The soldiers of the vanguard company, who had been prepared, jumped off the trucks and rushed into the main building of the artillery tower, shooting and killing the awakened Japanese soldiers and puppet troops. “Clean up the battlefield quickly and take away all the machine guns and ammunition. Refuel the trucks, plant the bombs to blow up the turrets, and ignore the rest!" Under Qin Yangming's arrangement, the convoy left the artillery tower and headed towards another artillery tower in less than ten minutes. As the fuse burned to the end, the artillery tower turned into ruins with a roar. The turrets behind are not as easy to attack as the first one. Qin Yangming directly stopped the truck one kilometer away from the artillery tower, and then ordered the artillery to use field artillery to blow up the wall of the artillery tower. Several heavy machine guns provided suppressive fire on the artillery tower. The field artillery accurately targeted all the bunkers next to the artillery tower. Because the artillery tower was collapsed by an artillery shell, Qin Yangming didn't even have the money to look for a machine gun inside the tower. He just drove his men and rushed to the next target quickly. Using this method, Qin Yangming did not waste any time and destroyed five Japanese artillery towers in just two hours! Zhang Dabiao had also captured the Linzhen stronghold long ago. After handing the battlefield over to the Third Battalion and the transport team led by the political commissar to clean up, they immediately rushed to other artillery towers to expand the results of the battle.
At this time, Linyuan County was in chaos. Qin Yangming killed most of the Japanese commanders, and the only remaining officer was a second lieutenant who was guarding a stronghold outside. Faced with this situation, the second lieutenant had no idea what to do. I had just left the base and returned to the county town. As soon as he arrived at the stronghold, he was besieged by the New 1st Regiment which had joined forces with Zhang Dabiao. This stronghold was called Majiadian Stronghold, and it was the largest stronghold of the Japanese outside Linyuan County. There was a Japanese garrison squadron of about 150 people, and a battalion of more than 400 puppet troops guarding the place. The captain of this Japanese squadron was sent to Taiyuan for treatment due to health reasons, and the new captain was the Japanese whose identity Qin Yangming borrowed. The Japanese soldier just arrived in Linyuan County last night. Because the other party has a colonel brother, Therefore, the Japanese major in Linyuan County summoned most of the Japanese officers in Linyuan County. A welcome party was held for the other party at the headquarters. Unexpectedly, Qin Yangming attacked the headquarters at night and killed all the officers in one fell swoop. (End of this chapter)
