Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Commander Huang and Political Commissar Wang stood at the command post on Jiashan Mountain, looking at the excited soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and were also very excited.

After all, this time the two battalions of the 139th Regiment were dragged to death on the way of the mopping-up operation by himself and others with three regiments of troops through tunnel warfare and guerrilla warfare.

This battle was not just about destroying two Japanese battalions, but also tested the ability to cause heavy casualties to the Japanese army through a combination of tunnel warfare and guerrilla warfare on the plains.

After all, when the Tainan Military Region passed on their experience, they knew that tunnels had been dug throughout the mountainous area as well as on the plains.

Ambushing small-scale Japanese troops is very effective, but there are still some concerns when the Japanese army conducts a large-scale mopping-up operation.

At the same time, the two were also curious about the construction of the Fourth Division troops.

After all, when the two were temporarily transferred to command the troops of the Fourth District, they were very uncertain.

After all, it was too risky to block the Japanese army's regiment on the plains.

However, when Political Commissar Liu revealed the financial situation of the Fourth District to the two of them, they were immediately shocked by the financial situation of the Fourth District.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Division had quietly assembled an 82mm artillery battalion. Meanwhile, although several main regiments couldn't manage to have a gun for every man, most of them were able to get a weapon.

Unlike his own three divisions, except for the three main regiments equipped with full weapons, the other two regiments and the guerrilla army did not have many weapons.

And I heard that most of the wealth was obtained when they were still in the Tainan Military Region and were working together with a regiment under it.

The two of them immediately became interested and planned to wander around District 4 and ask for advice after this big raid.

Afterwards, the two men reported the end of the battle to the military district headquarters.

Wangdu. At this time, the 3rd Battalion of the 139th Regiment had been harassed by small units of the Eighth Route Army after leaving Wangdu.

When the captain of the 3rd Battalion, Tanaka Ichiji, tried to contact the regiment headquarters again, he could not get through.

He suddenly had a bad feeling, so he reported the situation to the commander of the 108th Brigade, Kaho Ishii.

When the commander of the 108th Brigade, Yoshiho Ishii, received a telegram from the 3rd Battalion of the 139th Regiment in Baoding, he felt something was wrong and immediately ordered the signalman to contact the 139th Regiment, but there was no response.

Ishii Kaho suddenly became panicked and reported the news to the division commander Kuwaki Takaaki.

After understanding the situation, and taking into account the situation reported by Nagata Fumio last night, Sangmu Chongming immediately ordered the 163rd Regiment in Ding County to stop sweeping towards Yi County and quickly gather troops towards Baoding.

At the same time, the 140th Regiment was ordered to turn around and advance towards Quyang, and the 3rd Battalion of the 139th Regiment continued to advance towards Quyang.

As Sangmu Chongming's order was issued, the troops below also began to move.

At noon, the military district headquarters received local reports.

The troops that were sweeping towards Yi County in the Third District began to withdraw. At the same time, the 140th Regiment of Shunping also began an urgent march towards Quyang.

At this time, the previous plan to lure the 110th Division deep into Quyang was successful.

At noon, the 110th Division also received news that two battalions of the 139th Regiment, including the commander Fumio Nagata, were completely wiped out.

On the way to Quyang, the third battalion found some bodies of wounded soldiers left behind by the previous two battalions.

It was obvious that they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.

Subsequently, the spy organization in the Quyang area also reported to its superiors that the two battalions of the 139th Regiment were completely wiped out in Lidongwang Village near Jiashan, Quyang.

When the news reached the North China Front Army Headquarters, Sugiyama Gen was stunned when he heard the news.

The locust army has just started its sweep, and two battalions are already gone. How exciting!
