Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

The train had left Hongdong, but the Japanese still had not lifted the blockade of the train station.

"Young Marshal, according to the code given by Chen Dezhi and the identification documents we forged, I have already found out that the four truckloads of civilians captured by the Japanese were locked up in the waiting room of the train station, probably waiting for the train to return from Linfen.

According to Chen Dezhi, there are still several thousand Japanese devils on the train. They will definitely rob many civilians in Linfen. When the train returns, these people will also be sent back on the train. The same should be true for Zhaocheng, Puxian and other places.

In the end, these people will probably be sent to the devil's secret test base to undergo various experiments!"

Xu Le was watching every move of the train station in the distance from the teahouse: "The forged identities can only allow two people to get in at most, but two people alone cannot break into the train station.

Only by attacking the train station and preventing the train from passing through can the people on the train have a chance to escape!"

Finally, he slapped his thigh and said, "Since we can't hit the ones close by, let's hit the ones far away! Xu Da, notify the people at the intelligence station and ask them to gather all the manpower and wait for the enemy train to return. Then we can have a big fight..."

.....

The words are divided into two parts.

8 kilometers north of Yonghe County is Xichuankou, where there is a small road leading to Yan County. The Japanese originally wanted to send reinforcements from Yan County through this road to support Yonghe, but were opposed by Numata Tokushige.

Although there was no additional support, the Japanese in Yonghe resisted fiercely, and it took the 664th Regiment a day and a night to enter the city.

When they arrived in the city, they were met with stubborn resistance from the remaining Japanese troops. Many civilians were taken hostage, which delayed the attack of the 664th Regiment a lot.

Fortunately, the troops were well-equipped with firepower and had many accurate shooters. In the end, all the devils were wiped out at a considerable cost.

The 664th Regiment also suffered heavy losses, with more than a hundred soldiers killed or injured.

"Captain, these devils are so inhumane. They even use the common people of the Tang Dynasty as a shield!"

Guo Di Tie also sighed helplessly: "Alas, we all know the devils, how could we not know their style. I was afraid that the devils would seize this point, so I ordered the troops to be more indifferent on the surface and pretend not to care about the people.

Only in this way will the Japanese feel that the hostages they captured are not only useless, but also a waste of their manpower. Only then will they give up the method of fighting with hostages! "

"But Commander, many of our troops are from Jin Province, and even dozens of them are from Yonghe County. They couldn't hold back, so the Japanese got hold of them. As a result, hundreds of civilians were accidentally injured in this battle."

"Forget it!" Guo Di Tie shook his head helplessly: "There will be casualties in war, whether we are soldiers or civilians, what we can do is to try our best to avoid casualties. Pass the order down, each company and platoon must strictly abide by the combat plan, and in future operations, we will never let the Japanese get hold of any handle!

By the way, how is the battle going in Yan County?"

"I just received a call from there this morning, saying that they have occupied 80% of Yan County, and the last Japanese soldiers are fighting a desperate battle. This group of Japanese soldiers may not look that impressive, but they are not afraid of death!

However, the 667th Regiment said that the battle in Yan County can be completely resolved today, and asked us when we can reach Shuitou Town so that both sides can cooperate in the final round-up! "

Guo Tietie picked up the map and observed it for a while: "As long as we pass Xichuankou, it will be easy. Shilou County does not have many Japanese troops. Our long-term battle has caused the soldiers' physical strength to be unable to keep up, but the fighter plane cannot wait, so it seems that we can only send the Independent 2nd Regiment to go ahead.

Go, tell Captain Jiang that the rear team will become the front team, let them set out first and clear the road first. After our group has rested, we will meet up in Shilou!"

......

As the intelligence said, the 667th Regiment completed the entire occupation of Yan County in the afternoon, and Numata Tokushige led the remaining thousand people to retreat to Shuitou Town.

The troops followed closely and pursued Numata relentlessly, but due to the terrain, the motor vehicles could not be fully utilized, and in several places they even slowed down the troops' march, causing Numata Norishige to escape.

On the other hand, the 666th Regiment and the Independent 4th Regiment began the siege of Fenxi County in the morning, while the Armored Regiment roamed around the periphery, using its superior passability and mobility to eliminate all the enemy's artillery towers and strongholds.

As of this afternoon, the two city walls of Fenxi had been shattered.

However, the 666th Regiment left and handed over the task of attacking the enemy to the 4th Independent Regiment and the 2nd Artillery Regiment. The 666th Regiment and the Armored Regiment quietly moved to Majiazhai.

The ultimate goal of this three-front war is to take over the Majiazhai Iron Mine. They want to catch the Japanese at the Majiazhai Iron Mine by surprise before they can react.

According to Xu Da's previous investigation, there were many visible and hidden firepower points outside Majiazhai, but these firepower points were vulnerable to the Type 59 tanks.

"Platoon leader, we found a heavy machine gun firing point of the Japanese 500 meters ahead!" a tank shouted via the radio.

Zhu Zhaolan looked according to the report and saw not one heavy machine gun, but two, blocking the road and making it impossible for the infantry to pass.

"The enemy's firepower point is so cleverly set up, behind a small hill. Our tank gun is a cannon, with a low firing angle, and the shells can't hit it. But the armor of the armored vehicle is not enough, and it is difficult to withstand the fire of the two heavy machine guns of the enemy at close range. There is no way to send rocket launchers up!"

At this point, Zhu Zhaolan's heart hardened, and he shouted to Wuxiandian: "No matter what, we must eliminate this firing point before the main force rushes up. Drive up and press on!"

The driver was stunned: "Platoon leader, are you planning to use our front to withstand the enemy's firepower? Although the enemy's heavy machine guns can't cause any damage to us, this terrain is very suitable for ambush. What if the enemy anti-tank soldiers rush out? Our sides and bottom can't withstand the bombardment of a mine!"

Zhu Zhaolan was unmoved: "Don't be afraid. Although the power of the Japanese grenades and explosive packs is not small, I know our tanks. As long as they are not blown up continuously, we will have no problem rushing through! Listen to my orders, drive to the maximum horsepower, and crush them in order! As long as we pass fast enough, the Japanese will be helpless!"

This is Zhu Zhaolan. Although he was the last to join the armored regiment, he knows a lot more about the Type 59 tank. He would also sum up experience in battle and adjust his combat methods according to changes in terrain and situation.

Since the battle started in Yan County, he had led his three tanks to destroy several Japanese fire points and killed more than a hundred enemies, causing his men to admire him greatly, and no one looked down on him because of his young age.
