Chapter 141: Commander Hu Zi's Three Hobbies

Let's turn our attention back to the direction of the Third Regiment.

Long before the raid officially began, Commander Yang had already selected the breakthrough position for the attacking troops. This point is very tricky, and any troops who are not prepared will be caught off guard.

When Commander Han saw the first squadron of the Japanese set out from the Jingxing Coal Mine, he immediately ordered the soldiers of the three battalions to crawl to the predetermined position.

The starting point of the comrades was only 800 meters away from the outer high wall of the coal mine. They hid themselves in the dim moonlight and waited for the order to start the general attack.

This time, Commander Han's tactical arrangement was not complicated. It can be said that he used his power to suppress others. And just now everyone saw with their own eyes that the Japanese divided their troops, and now he is more confident in this operation.

As for whether he is worried that the enemy who just went out will see through the ambush and turn back to surround him?

Then he, Old Han, can only say sorry, you are probably looking down on the commander of the First Division of Jin-Cha-Ji.

At present, the enemy's garrison in the mining area is at most two squadrons, while their regiment has a total of 2,700 combatants.

In addition, there is an underground worker guerrilla team established by miners in Jingxing Coal Mine as support. These comrades have been enduring humiliation for a long time. After the battle begins, they will wait for an opportunity to join forces with the Third Regiment.

Under such an arrangement, Commander Han didn't know what the devils had to fight against their Third Regiment.

The only question now is how to deal with the devils in Jingxing Coal Mine in the shortest time.

After all, the location of this mining area is very sensitive, and the enemy's reinforcements are likely to be fast. What's more, enough time needs to be left for the sabotage operation, as there are too many equipment in the coal mine.

In order to deal with many possible unexpected situations, Commander Han made the following arrangements. He called the three battalion commanders to his front and began to give them specific combat tasks.

"Captain of the First Battalion, your battalion's target is the old mining area in Gangtou. The Japanese command post is also in that direction. You must act quickly to take over that area."

"Take your portable wireless phones with you. If the situation changes, you must report to me at any time!"

In theory, the old mining area in Gangtou is a tough nut to crack. There are thirteen artillery towers there. The Third Regiment also has no barreled guns, and it will definitely suffer a great loss when facing the crossfire of the Japanese.

But now the enemy is extremely short of manpower. When they attack, it will be the best if they can have three artillery towers to participate in the defense.

After receiving the order, the commander of the first battalion, Wan Gaofei, agreed without thinking. He immediately lowered his voice and said to the people around him:

"Just watch it, our first battalion will always be the spearhead of the third regiment! Ensure the completion of the mission!"

For the arrogant behavior of his own battalion commander, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the face of the regiment commander Han. Although Wan Gaofei's words sounded a little arrogant, they were all based on successful results one after another.

After a brief thought, he looked at the second and third battalion commanders and told them the arrangements for them.

"Hengshan and Dongwangshe are in your charge. There are many miners there. You must try your best to protect them while attacking. The people are the root of our army."

"Okay! Let's get ready! Leave the breakthrough to the first battalion! Disperse as quickly as possible after entering."

Five minutes after the assignment, the soldiers of the third regiment saw a red flare rising in the sky in the distance. Everyone ended their hiding state and launched an attack on Jingxing Coal Mine.

The distance of several hundred meters was rapidly closing, and the comrades encountered the first obstacle on the way forward.

In order to prevent the miners from escaping and to stop the sabotaging guerrillas, the devils arranged a large number of power grids on the periphery of the mining area.

In the original plan, the workers inside the coal mine would cut off the power supply when the attack began. Obviously, they should have encountered some difficulties.

But the problem was not big. The soldiers of the third regiment had already made multiple plans.

The simplest and crudest method is to let the engineers build wooden boards, or let the comrades of the first battalion use grenades to clear the way, but this method of handling has certain risks.

In order to avoid non-combat casualties, Commander Han chose the most stable way of playing.

The engineers of the first battalion took out gloves made of basketball leather lining and put them on their hands, and then turned around to take the guillotine handed over by their comrades.

Basketball sounds a bit nonsense, and it seems that it is not something that should appear in that era, but this sport is indeed very popular in the Eighth Route Army.

As we all know, the Hu Zi Division Commander who started with two kitchen knives has three hobbies on weekdays. That is smoking, dunking, and playing Zhang Tao. And in terms of basketball level alone, a hundred people are not his opponents.

Even in the current difficult material conditions, this tough guy always regards the development of sports activities as an important part of military construction.

Basketball was promoted by the Hu Zi Division Commander in the army, and the 120th Division also organized a combat basketball team.

Many outsiders know about this hobby, and even the Japanese and puppet troops know how to distinguish the headquarters of the 120th Division. After all, wherever there is a basketball court, there is a bearded division commander.

This is a master of the court who is known for playing basketball while beating the Japanese, playing doubles with the ball ghost.

"After the war, he served as the director of the Sports Committee for 14 years."

You can say that the 120th Division lacks troops, or you can say that the 120th Division lacks artillery, but you can never say that there is a lack of basketball.

With these insulating materials, the engineers can handle the power grid with confidence.

They first swung the guillotine to cut a gap in the electric fence, and then put up the prepared wooden boards. The soldiers of the whole regiment passed through the electric fence through the wooden boards and rushed to the three mining areas where the Japanese were located.

————————————

At this moment, Fujimura Hiroto was already under great pressure. As the only squadron leader still defending in Jingxing Coal Mine, the Japanese were about to curse.

When the red flare flashed in the air in the distance, he knew that there would be a massive enemy attack tonight.

As if to confirm this idea, all the circuits in the mining area were suddenly cut off.

In this situation, even he, a grassroots officer who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies, was a little panicked, not to mention the soldiers under his command who were usually not trained.

But Xiao Ri knew that if he wanted to survive, he could only rely on himself now.

The first thing he did after being attacked was to try his best to strengthen the defense, and at the same time sent a communicator to ask for help from the surrounding friendly forces.

After the circuit was cut off, the high-power radio station would definitely not be able to be used, and there was no need to think about it.

But the small radio and walkie-talkie using batteries and hand-cranked generators can still work normally.

The Japanese communicator stumbled into the room and sent distress messages to Weishui Town, Pingshan County and Jingxing County respectively, and asked them to help contact the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade in Shimen.

When Fujimura Hiroto and his adjutant hid in the artillery tower and looked out, they realized how many attacking Eighth Route Army they had to face now.

Although the vision of the entire battlefield was very poor due to the lack of searchlights.

But with the help of the moonlight, this little day saw countless groups of Eighth Route Army soldiers forming a scattered line, attacking them like a sea of ​​people. Moreover, these enemies seemed to have updated their equipment, and the original broken hats were replaced with steel helmets.

In this situation, Fujimura Hiroto didn't dare to think about guarding the coal mines and equipment.

Because the first squadron went to check the damaged Zhengtai Railway, the third squadron went to carry out daily rural cleanup activities. At this time, there were less than 200 professional soldiers left in the three large mining areas.

Even if we count those mine policemen who are just pretending to be powerful, each place can only be assigned about 100 people at most. The number of enemies on the opposite side is at least five times theirs, and this battle is doomed to fail from the beginning.

Thinking of this, the desperate Fujimura Hiroto roughly pushed away the machine gunner in front of him. He directly took over the Type 92 heavy machine gun and fired wildly at the Eighth Route Army below.

Due to the lack of light, it is difficult to kill effectively by moonlight alone. These little days, the bullets hit one after another, but the casualties caused were completely insignificant to the first battalion.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was getting closer and closer to the position of the artillery tower, Fujimura Hiroto left the machine gun and drew out his command knife. He kept urging his soldiers to speed up the frequency of shooting.

But at this moment, a violent explosion sounded below the artillery tower, and a powerful impact directly blew a gap in this "solid" fortress.

Countless wooden-handled grenades were thrown in from the gap, and Fujimura Hiroto knew that it was too late to save the situation now. He gritted his teeth and adjusted the collar of his uniform, launching the last attack of his life downwards.

Alas, the purchase of the Varyag was inseparable from the boss's only son
