In 1876, Li Hefei established a coal mine in Kaixian, which was later occupied by British merchants. In 1907, the old Yuan ran a coal mine in Luanzhou, which was merged into Kailun Coal Mine in 1912, and was later controlled by British merchants.

Look, this fat coal mine has no autonomy in mainland China, and Zhao Hu knows that even if he defeats the Japanese in the future, the British will come to occupy it. When faced with this kind of eating behavior, how can we reason?

In recent years, China and Britain fought around Kailuan Coal Mine for nearly ten years, but in the end, they still couldn't fight the traitorous and sloppy British businessman Cui Delin. However, when the two sides fought, they dug a large number of tunnels under the mine, called the first tunnel war in China!

Kaixian coal mine has dried up now, but Luanzhou coal mine is a giant, with a total of 330 square kilometers. It can be said that Luanzhou is a county seat sitting on black gold!

Then, if you want to fight against Luanzhou coal mine, you must take Luan County. If you want to fight against Luan County, Kulong Mountain on the west bank of Luan River in the east is the commanding heights, Jinniu Mountain in the north and Qincai Mountain in the south are the two gates to guard the Luan County coal mine. More importantly, there is a crucial node on the Tangluan Railway, that is, Jiashan in the west of the county town. As long as you are stuck here, you can block the Tangluan Railway and guard the west gate of Luan County!

In fact, there are still many mining areas from Jiashan west, but the Eighth Route Army only wants to occupy the main mining area, so they can't digest the others even if they take them down.

Now, if you want to fight, you have to move the troops to the west of the Luan River and seize three hills in one fell swoop. The Qincai Mountain in the south is not big, and there are no Japanese garrisons. There are only a small number of puppet troops in a small artillery tower, so it is no problem to capture it.

Jinniu Mountain in the north is close to the mining area, and the Japanese army only have guardhouses on it, but once it is launched, the Japanese army around will continue to attack, so not only must they be defeated, but they must also be defended.

The most difficult thing is Kulong Mountain, which is the commanding height of Luan County and the junction of the county town and the mining area, so it is the top priority of the Japanese defense, because as long as you take this place, it will be only five kilometers away from the railway station and the county town. As long as you set up a mountain cannon, you can hit whatever you want!

Commander Li looked at the sand table in the command center for a long time and said nothing. He said that this battle was easy to fight or easy to fight. As long as he seized a few hills, no matter how many reinforcements the Japanese army had, he would have no choice but to do anything to him. The difficulty lies in how to grab it.

It is easy to fight in the south, and it is no big deal to let the Japanese army escape, it depends on whether they want to escape.

In the north, Jinniu Mountain, you have to send people to enter the mining area from the tunnel. As long as the mining area is in chaos, it is very convenient to take down Jinniu Mountain in the chaos. It is the Jiashan in the west. It is the special forces that go deep into the enemy. But Kulong Mountain also needs a special forces, otherwise, the casualties will be huge just by attacking with firepower.

Alas, the special forces team, but now I find that this is the most needed group of troops. Unfortunately, they are all elites, and it’s hard to form a temporary one!

Zhao Hu saw Commander Li's troubles and pointed to the mining area and said, "Chief, actually, entering the mining area creates chaos. It also requires a special forces team to attract the attention of the Japanese army. However, we can go in two steps, and there is no need to become fat in one breath!"

"Oh, tell me what you think, how to use the special forces team reasonably?"

"It's very simple to fight a mining area, and it doesn't even require much force. Look, after we quietly touched in, we killed the Japanese sentry and the guardhouse on the top of Jinniu Mountain. At the same time, we sent the weapons hidden in the tunnel to the miners in advance, and we can immediately arm a strong army. They don't need to attack, just defend the mining area. Many of these miners are captives of the national army and our guerrillas. I believe that under the leadership of the underground party in the mining area, we will not disappoint us."

Commander Li nodded. The mining area sounds nice, but it is actually a man-eating cave. The miners inside have been abused for many years and want to resist at all times. As long as the weapons are obtained, no matter how many Japanese there are, they will not be enough for everyone to share.

Zhao Hu pointed to Kulongshan and said, "During the turmoil in the mining area, our second group of troops had already taken the periphery of Kulongshan. At that time, we can enter the mountain from behind while the Japanese army was aiding northern part and attack with short weapons and flamethrowers. It really doesn't work. We also have rocket launchers and large grenades. Even if we can't catch them, we can still keep the Japanese inside. Anyway, we just need to get the top of the mountain!"

"What should I do in the west? The Japanese army in Tangshan took the train but arrived as soon as possible!"

"Let me take the engineer company to the west, oh, it's better to bring a few artillery soldiers."

"What are you doing when you sneak in disguise and take the artillery soldiers? There...hey, it's not right. Is there a cannon on Mount Jia?"

"Haha, I heard that if there is a real cannon, it would be better. Even if there is no, I will not suffer any loss, right?"

"Are you sure you are alone and bring some engineers?"

"have!"

"Okay, as long as Jiashan is not lost, we will send troops to reinforce once we attack the county town. But you have to be mentally prepared. It may take longer to defend the mountain!"

"Don't worry, commander, as long as you bring enough explosives, you won't have to worry about many Japanese!"

Commander Li quickly issued an order, and the newly formed 14th Regiment of Qincai Mountain in the south was attacked and defended. Of course, if the Japanese army is large, it can be handled according to the situation.

The 14th Regiment was formed by several county brigades. It took a short time and had not been successfully completed. Therefore, it was understandable that they were stationed in Qincai Mountain. Even if they could not defeat it, they could still evacuate. Anyway, the purpose of this battle was to seize the mining area, not to fight the Japanese army.

But no one expected that this 14th Regiment, in the late stage of the battle, was nailed to Celery Mountain and made great contributions to the complete annihilation of the Japanese army!

On the northern line, the four-legged snake led a special operations team to infiltrate in advance. After taking the post, a battalion of the 13th Regiment assigned ammunition to the miners, while the other two battalions were guarding the mountain.

Of course, the 12th Regiment of the 11th Regiment was the main meritorious in the east. Commander Li led the 11th Regiment. After the battle started, he immediately inserted into the county town. After driving away the Japanese army, he divided his troops to advance westward to reinforce the Jiashan engineer company!

After the battle mobilization, Commander Li smiled and said, "This is the first time our army has implemented a new combat mode. If you have any difficulties, you must raise them in advance. Once the battle starts, I will not blame me for being ruthless if you are the regiment commander or battalion commander. If anyone is dragging me down, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

It is indeed a brand new style of play. Before the battle starts, no shooting or artillery is allowed. In other words, no firepower advantage can be exerted before the end of this battle!

However, the Eighth Route Army has been used to hard life, and this kind of fighting style is not new, but it is not so systematic and comprehensive. After hearing the order, everyone shouted in unison: "There is no difficulty, guarantee to complete the task!"

"Okay, after the troops sneaked across the Luan River, the special forces will take the lead and give the Japanese a color in the mining area first!"

The battle was about to start. Zhao Hu had already taken the engineering company and some artillery troops to attack in advance. Once he crossed the Luan River, he was occupied by the enemy. There were Japanese posters and traitors and puppet troops everywhere. There was no chance for more than a hundred people to enter in a big swagger.

So more than a hundred people went straight south, quietly crossing the river from the south of Xiangzhen, and heading west at night. This is a plain area and there are a large number of green gauze tents that have just been raised. As long as the enemy is not alarmed, there is no problem moving northwest.

After arriving at the south of Jiashan Road, Zhao Hu did not rush to pass. He turned around and said, "Gouyuan, take a few soldiers, bring some explosives to the Shahe Bridge first to see if there is any possibility of explosion and buy us some time!"

Gou Sheng took the order and left. Zhao Hu looked at the deep trench and said, "Low, it depends on our engineer company. It's a dream to stop this small trench!"
Chapter completed!
