Chapter 141: The fierce battle in the mining area
Chen Chen had no objection to the main force by the captain and instructor. He was kind enough to lend it to the main force. He was kind enough to be polite, but wasn’t it the same to directly order?
Although he did not participate in the battle at the mine, he still did not forget to make suggestions.
"The machinery and equipment that cannot be taken away is burned with fire first, and then pour cold water on it to completely scrap." Chen Chen blinked his eyes and said with a wicked smile: "This is what my uncle said, called quenching."
Chen Chen is not very clear about whether it is called quenching. He has never learned to craft iron and steel. But this is always a reason, which is taught by others.
Lao Zhou nodded in agreement at first and said, "Well, it makes sense. If the machinery and equipment are scrapped, it will be very difficult for the enemy to start production again."
Zhao Tie said: "This time we need to completely destroy it. Use explosives and water to make the enemy unable to produce it. Destroying the machinery and equipment is also one of them. Your suggestions are very good. Many team members probably don't know how to destroy it. The efficiency of smashing it with brute force is too low."
This is normal. Most of the team members who are from peasants are not sure how to destroy them completely. It would be good if they could be burned with fire, but this is not enough to completely scrap the machinery and equipment.
According to Chen Chen's idea, it would be better if the mine was completely destroyed! Anyway, the coal was underground, and it would still be your own if it defeated the Japanese devils. But if it was plundered and used by the devils, it would be transformed into the power of the invading army.
"I have to discuss with the team members." Seeing that his suggestion was accepted, Chen Chen hurriedly walked away. "This blockade is not easy to fight. It is so close that the mine can be buried as fast as possible."
Lao Zhou hurriedly waved and said, "Let the other teams participate in the discussion, they don't have much time to bury mines. It should be said that the faster the better."
Chen Chen blinked, said nothing, and turned around and left.
The technique of burying mines is very important. In addition to various detonation methods, there is also camouflage that makes the enemy unable to see it, at least it cannot be easily seen.
Therefore, mine burying usually takes a certain amount of time.
There are also ways to quickly bury mines. You can dig a shallow pit with one shovel, plant the mines in, pull up the tripwire, or connect the pull-out wire to the clip.
Fortunately, it is dark at night, so you don’t have to be too careful in disguise, and it’s enough to not see it at a glance. As for the pedals, don’t, it’s time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The result of Chen Chen's discussion with the team members was to dig quickly and bury them quickly. They used clips to detonate them, and buried the mines so that they could not be seen at a glance.
In addition to burying the method, Chen Chen also asked the team members to practice in groups. Three or five team members were responsible for digging pits, filling lightnings, nailing clips, pulling leads and other processes, and coordinated and cooperated to speed up the process.
In addition to these, various tools were also prepared. At the same time, simple mine-branching drawings were also drawn, allowing the team members to get familiar with them on a flat area of about dozens of meters.
With this, the efficiency has indeed improved a lot more than before, and the degree has been much faster, and it can basically meet the standards.
You should know that it takes only a few minutes to run within two miles. Although you can sneak near to the mines quietly, you must also consider the possibility of the battle starting in advance after exposure.
Everything is ready, and as soon as the time comes, the troops start to act and march towards the mining area.
Several guerrilla teams served as guides, wearing the clothes of the Imperial Army, leading the way forward; Chen Chen's squad is a mix of the Japanese and Imperial Army.
The guerrillas infiltrated several times, attacked Aoziding once, took a car to attack He Jingtang's family on a small scale, and did not get close to the mining area any other time, let alone any major actions.
More often, more battles are targeting villages near the mountains and forests, so that the enemy's troops are concentrated here.
At the same time, two more paths were reconnaissed to the mining area, and they could dive out in the forest closer to Hongshigang, thus avoiding the enemy's blockade.
Although the road is difficult to walk, the guerrillas are well prepared, with many ropes and long poles. It is not very difficult to climb mountains and cliffs. It is slower and it doesn’t matter much.
In the middle of the night, the troops had already arrived at the bottom of the cliff. After a short rest, they climbed up the cliff, gathered in different ways, and rushed towards their respective ambush areas.
Chen Chen led his team and followed the main force around Yaohuzhuang, crossed the Hongshui River, and got stuck on the road between the Japanese stronghold and the mine.
Time was tight, so Chen Chen commanded the team members to immediately lay mines on the road, while the main force arranged blocking positions based on the terrain and terrain.
Time passed by minute by minute, and when the sound of a train cries sounded in the distance, almost an hour had passed.
Although the plan is to stop the train and then rush into the mine area directly, just in case, just a small team went to the side of the railway, while the rest of the attackers were with the blocking troops.
Once the train does not come, or it cannot stop it, you can only take a strong attack or use a disguised force to conduct invasion attacks.
At this time, all troops were in their positions and were waiting for the gunfire signal in the mining area. If the train drove in but there was no signal for a long time, the attack or attack would begin.
For the Japanese in the mine, they had no idea that they would be attacked from outside. The focus of the watchtower's surveillance is on the independent and closed miner's dormitory area.
Chen Chen had already figured out the patrol rules of the mine police during his reconnaissance the day before yesterday, and now the railway is the best route to sneak into it.
Not only this method, as long as the battle begins, our own teams have an absolute numerical advantage, and it should be only a matter of time before they can defeat them.
The gunshots that had been waiting for finally rang out in the mine. The searchlights on the wooden watchtower were scattered randomly. The Japanese on duty picked up the machine gun, but were immediately hit by a round of bullets shot from the tower.
Several figures flew up to the watchtower, snatched machine guns, and fired fiercely at the hasty and stubborn enemy.
The most threatening thing on the mine is the watchtower, which was seized by infiltrating troops, and the situation is moving in a more favorable direction.
The troops outside the mine shouted and charged, but they almost encountered any obstacles, so they rushed into the mine along the railway.
The battle unfolded everywhere in the mine, and the enemies that were in a hurry were in full passiveness and were constantly eliminated.
Although the battle is still going on, a large area of safety has been cleared out and the destruction work has also begun.
The oil and explosives stored in the mine became the best tools. Zhao Tie and Liu Biao were commanding the battle in front, while Lao Zhou commanded the team members to pour oil and set fires, laying explosives.
The time was not long, the water pump was blown up, the water truck fell down shakingly, the boiler was exploded, the motive was burned, and even the mine was poured into buckets of kerosene, turning into a fire cave. Various mine parts were thrown in, and the fireworks were rotating and rising.
Under the blazing fire, the guerrillas and rescued miners continued to work hard with the joy of victory and the pleasure brought by the destruction.
The Japanese strongholds were shooting machine guns randomly, but the distance was far away and could not relieve their thirst. Although the distance was not far, it was impossible to use bullets to rescue them.
The atmosphere inside the Japanese stronghold was dull and depressing. The Japanese officers held a telescope at the highest level of the stronghold, with their faces gloomy and unstable.
The situation outside was unclear. Communication with the outside world was interrupted again. Without clear information, he was a little afraid to act rashly.
The enemy was destroying the mine, and the Japanese officers saw the fire getting bigger and bigger on the mine and the rumbling explosion.
The enemy seemed tired of making small fuss and harassing and sniping, and this time they were going to do something big.
The Japanese officer was surprised. He didn't understand how so many people sneaked in and how many enemies would be waiting outside to ambush him.
"Your Excellency, Commander Murata has called back." A small officer hurriedly ran up and handed over a telegram.
The Japanese officer took the telegram and went to the lamp to read it. The general content of the telegram was to send troops to reinforce the mines and minimize the enemy's damage to the mines.
At the same time, Murata, who is in the county, has called various nearby strongholds, so that they can also hurry up and attack this deep enemy.
The Japanese officer fell into deep thought. Well, the sound of gunfire outside was not fierce, which seemed to illustrate some problems. Moreover, if the enemy had to sneak in silently, it would be impossible to have too many troops.
In the dark night, the enemy is taking advantage of the dark night's imperial army's easy movement and bluffing.
The Japanese officer put down the telegram and smashed his fist on the table, and he made a decision...
The enemy in the stronghold was still holding his troops. Captain Wang touched his chin and was thinking. Could it be that tonight it would be a single attack?
As for regular troops, of course, "eliminating the enemy" should be put first. Even if it will be a very successful attack tonight, Battalion Commander Wang will feel very unwilling.
Forced attack? These two words flashed through Battalion Commander Wang's mind, and he couldn't help but look at his old friend, Political Commissar Fang. There was hesitation and hesitation in his eyes, and he did not dare to make such a decision easily.
"Wait a little longer." Political Commissar Fang understood what Battalion Commander Wang meant and tried to comfort him in a gentle tone: "Even if we can't take the stronghold, this successful attack will have great strategic significance."
Captain Wang nodded slightly and looked at the dark artillery tower in the distance. A faint light like a blink of an eye was emitted from the shooting hole of the artillery tower.
"Report." A correspondent hurriedly ran over, stood attentively and said briefly: "The enemy in the stronghold has moved and is advancing along the highway."
Battalion Commander Wang let out a long breath. He looked at each other and smiled at Political Commissar Fang, turned his head and ordered: "Order the troops to be prepared and wait until the enemy enters the mine formation before attacking."
Footsteps were mixed and figures were shaking. The Japanese came out of the stronghold and ran towards the mine along the road.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the intelligence work of the Japanese army can be said to be a weakness, while the work of the Eighth Route Army penetrated into the masses.
Therefore, during the war, the movements of the Japanese army were often monitored by the people and reported to the Eighth Route Army, but the Japanese army had no idea about the Eighth Route Army's intelligence.
In fact, this is also a difficult difficulty for the invaders to solve, involving the problem of people's support.
Murata made a wrong judgment without knowing the situation, while the Japanese officers made wrong orders based on existing information. A series of mistakes caused the enemy who rushed out of the stronghold to enter a trap without knowing it.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The enemy who entered the ambush circle stepped on a series of thunder.
The fires shone brightly and the eyes were filled with the eyes. The smoke columns rose one after another. The shrapnel flew everywhere, and the loud noises were deafening. The enemy panicked and avoided them everywhere, which instead touched more landmines.
The mines on the ground are exploding, the grenades in the air are exploding, in the fire, under the moonlight, the broken limbs and broken guns fly up and fall.
Amid the continuous explosions, the enemy's screams and howls were completely covered, and they could only be seen running wildly, falling and rolling.
The carefully designed mine array, clever contacts, dozens of mines of all sizes, are of various types and large numbers. The enemy was hit hard, but this is not the end.
The smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, the lingering sound of the explosion was still echoing, and the gunshots began to sound rapidly. The Eighth Route Army fired bullets of hatred at the enemy, and the real battle began fiercely on the road.
"Bang!" Chen Chen gently pulled the board in the hidden place, and the Japanese officer who had just gotten up from the ground and waved the commanding knife fell down like a piece of wood.
"Bang hook!" The gunshot sounded again, although it was inconspicuous on the battlefield, it had a great effect. The Japanese machine gunman fell down and the machine gun became mute.
"Bang hook!" Another murderous intent appeared. The Japanese deputy shooter pushed away his companion and grabbed the machine gun. A bullet penetrated his chest.
Chen Chen smiled faintly. Under his suggestion, in addition to him, there should be at least two Eighth Route Army sharpshooters scattered and hidden, destroying key enemies.
This kind of tactic is more effective. Wasting good gunmen on the battlefield of charge and fighting is short-sighted and not worth the loss.
Dispersed and concealed, the greatest advantage of the attraction of other warriors makes it difficult for the enemy to see gunmen who cast cold guns.
Of course, the other two or three sharpshooters were not as good as Shen Chen in terms of shooting distance and technology, nor did they have his sharp night eyes.
This shows how smart Captain Wang is and how he values Chen Chen.
The ambush in the other two places has a clear advantage, only here is facing more attacks from Japanese devils, and the battle situation is expected to be fierce.
With Chen Chen's help, according to the shooting and accuracy rate that Battalion Commander Wang knew, it would be no problem to kill at least four or five Japanese devils. If there were more, it would not be too rare to have more than ten.
To eliminate such a number of Japanese soldiers normally, it would cost almost the same casualties, or even twice or three times the price.
In other words, Chen Chen can at least reduce casualties by five to ten soldiers here.
Now, Chen Chen's moves farther than Battalion Commander Wang's expectations, and even the casualties caused by landmines shocked Battalion Commander Wang.
After all, there are not many battle scenes of large-scale landmines used by Battalion Commander Wang. There are not many such battle scenes today.
The Japanese, who were hit by a head-on attack, panicked for a while and soon entered a state of combat. After all, they were well-trained, stubborn and hard-working enemies, and they began to fight back on the spot based on the ditch.
Although the Japanese seemed to have stabilized their positions, the blocking had already achieved initial success. It was unlikely that they would rush into the mining area to reinforce by relying on the advantage of the number of people and the mines on the road.
The sound of gunfire and explosion sounded in the distance, and it was the other two troops fighting with the reinforced enemies. In this local area, the enemies who could arrive as fast as possible could not be effectively reinforced.
