While he was talking, a cavalry correspondent rode his horse and rushed over.

"Captain Sun." The cavalry correspondent shouted, "The column headquarters has an order to order your cavalry regiment to immediately send a cavalry company to Xiao Caozhuang to support and eliminate the Japanese cavalry that were operating there."

"I understand." Sun Desheng agreed and said to Gao Daquan, "Old Gao, you can deal with the matters in the group. I will take a company to Xiaocaozhuang."

"I'll go." Gao Daquan said and turned around and went out.

When Sun Desheng walked out of the town office, he saw that Gao Daquan had already summoned the cavalry company brought by the new regiment, waved at Sun Desheng on the back of the horse, and rode away.

Amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves, more than a hundred cavalrymen disappeared soon.

Fan Guangou heard the sound of horse hooves and rushed out of the barracks behind the town office.

"Old company commander, what's the situation?" Fan Guangu said anxiously, "Is there any night combat operation?"

"There is no combat operation, go back and feed your horse." Sun Desheng was about to return to the town office after he said that, when another cavalry correspondent rushed over.

"Captain Sun, Gujiayu was attacked." Before the cavalry correspondent arrived, he shouted loudly, "The Column Command ordered your cavalry regiment to send cavalry to reinforce Gujiayu immediately."

"Gujiayu was also attacked by the Japanese?" Sun Desheng looked shaking and said to Fan Guanyou, "Gozi, hurry up and take the cavalry company to support Gujiayu, hurry up!"

"Yes." Fan Guangou turned around and walked out.

...

The column's direct artillery regiment was stationed in Dagu Town.

The commander of the Artillery Regiment, Cao San Company, was brought by the brigade commander from the Taiyue Column, and was also an old comrade-in-arms of the Fourth Front Army of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Although Li Yunlong and the other three have become commanders of the detachment, while Cao San Company is still just a regiment commander, Cao San Company does not care about this at all.

Cao Sanlian was actually very excited.

Because when he was in the Taiyue Column, although he was nominally an artillery regiment commander, he was actually an artillery battalion commander at best. The hardest guy in his hand was just a dozen four-one mountain cannons, and the rest were all infantry cannons, and sometimes he even had to make up the numbers with mortars from his brothers.

But now it's different.

Now their artillery regiment is a real artillery regiment.

Not to mention, the 32 M1A1 type 75mm caliber mountain cannons alone are enough to support the facade of an artillery regiment, not to mention 18 92 infantry cannons and 12 Meiji 38-year-old 75mm caliber field howitzers. If the dozen or so four-one mountain cannons from the Taiyue Column cannons can be brought over, they can directly form an artillery brigade.

A year ago, he didn't dare to think about this firepower, and he didn't dare to think about it in his dreams.

The Eighth Route Army can actually form its own artillery brigade? My mother, I want to go to heaven.

Not only Cao Sanlian was very happy, but Tu Feng, Lou Daqiang and Liu Mangan were also so happy that they couldn't stop talking about it.

On the one hand, it was because they were promoted to battalion commander, and the artillery regiment was under the jurisdiction of three artillery battalions, with Tu Feng, Lou Daqiang and Liu Mangang as battalion commanders. Now they are serious and battalion-level cadres.

On the other hand, it was because the artillery regiment was formed.

As an old artillery soldier, Tu Feng and others knew the principle that firepower must be centralized, but because the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army was weak and the battlefield environment was too harsh, they usually could only operate in squads and platoons. The system of artillery companies was already very rare, and there were even fewer artillery battalions.

But now, their Northwest Shanxi Column has formed an artillery regiment.

Looking at the rows of M1A1 type 75mm caliber mountain cannons and Type 92 infantry cannons lined up under the night sky, Tu Feng and the other three could not wait to start looking forward to what kind of shock will their artillery regiments bring to the Japanese puppet army in northwestern Shanxi? Will it scare people?

Unfortunately, the 12 Meiji 38-year-old field cannons have not yet been in place.

Seeing Cao Sanlian coming, Tu Feng and the other two quickly stood up and saluted: "Captain!"

Tu Feng and the other three were old subordinates of Cao San Company. When Cao San Company was the battalion commander of the Artillery Battalion directly under the 386th Brigade, Tu Feng and the others had already followed him.

So Cao Sanlian seemed very casual.

Cao Sanlian asked, "Have you checked the equipment?"

"Checked." Tu Feng said with great confidence, "32 American Seven Five Mountain Cannons and 18 Japanese 92 Infantry Cannons, all of which are in good condition and can be put into battle at any time."

Cao Sanlian nodded and said, "Why are you still standing there?"

"Ah?" Tu Feng and the other two looked at Cao Sanlian with a blank look on their faces.

Cao San Company said angrily: "Before the war has not begun, we should quickly disassemble and install the assembly and train! We are already very familiar with the Japanese 41 75 mountain cannons and the 92 infantry cannons, but we have been touching the 75 mountain cannons of the beautiful country for a few days. We have to seize the time to familiarize ourselves with disassembly and install the assembly and install. I ask each of you artillerymen to reinstall the cannons with your eyes closed."

"Oh, yes!" Tu Feng and the other two woke up as if they were dreaming, and quickly led their people to start disassembling and assembly.

Soon, the row of M1A1 type 75mm caliber cannons was dismantled into a bunch of parts.

Artillery training has a complete set of procedures. It is not enough to disassemble the gun into parts. It also needs to package and package the disassembled parts according to the strict operating process, and then fix the parts to the back of the mule and horse. Until this time, it can be considered as a disassembly training, and then the assembly training is carried out again.

When Tu Feng and his team led the soldiers to conduct disassembly and assembly training, Cao Sanlian stood beside him to supervise.

Seeing that a soldier was negligent and did not wear a sleeve, Cao San went up to the soldier and kicked the soldier's butt. The soldier immediately realized the problem and quickly put on his sleeve.

While training, a team of horses entered the artillery camp.

"Hurry, hurry up, remove the things quickly, hurry up."

Cao Sanlian heard a familiar voice, Lao Gou?

When I got closer, I saw that it was the elder of the former Independent Group Supply Department.

Lao Gou is also an old man from the Fourth Front Army, and he used to be a very powerful soldier.

However, after one serious injury, he was unable to return to the battlefield and was assigned to work in the logistics department. Then he went to the independent regiment to serve as the director of the supply department.

"Lao Gou, are you giving us supplies to raise again?"

Cao Sanlian smiled and said, "But it's not right. Didn't we just receive supplies?"

"Provision? This is not supply." Lao Gou said with a smile, "I'm here to send you babies."

"Baby?" Cao Sanlian smiled, "What baby? Let's take a look."

While speaking, Cao Sanlian had already walked to the horse team at the supply office.

I saw the soldiers from the supply office moving canvas bags from the horse's back.

The canvas bag is so full that it is full of bulge. I don’t know what is inside?

However, Lao Gou quickly solved the answer to the mystery and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang said this is a walkie-talkie, the big one can enable wireless calls within fifteen kilometers."

"Really? Wireless calls?"

Cao Sanlian's eyes immediately lit up.

Until today, Cao San Company still clearly remembers the wonderful scene of Wang Ye guiding the artillery through the phone during the Hundred Battles.

Looking back now, Cao San could still feel inexplicably excited.

Because before that, Cao San Company had never thought that artillery could play like this.

Therefore, the idea of ​​accurately shooting by telephone was deeply engraved in Cao Sanlian's mind. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to try this tactic again.

But this time, he finally had the chance to try this tactic again.

Moreover, the equipment Wang Ye sent this time is more advanced and can actually make calls directly with wireless calls, which is much more convenient than wired phones. Otherwise, it will take a long time to lay the telephone line. Once the artillery position needs to be moved forward, it will take another to retract and disassemble the switchboard, which is too troublesome.

But now it is much more convenient to have a wireless phone.

"Let's take a look, let's take a look." Cao Sanlian couldn't wait to open a canvas bag.

After opening it, it was a square iron box. I held it with my hands. It weighed about fifteen kilograms, which was quite heavy and needed someone to carry it.

A telephone microphone hung on the iron box.

Cao Sanlian picked up the phone and wanted to turn on the walkie-phone.

"Hey, don't." Lao Gou stopped him quickly, "Xiao Wang said, you should save some money."

"Oh, yes." Cao Sanlian woke up as if he was dreaming and hurriedly hung up the phone again.

This walkie-talkie consumes battery, so Lao Chang will not provide them with batteries continuously. Once the battery is used up, this thing will be useless, so it has to be saved.

...

Gujiayu.

There were more than 200 people in the village, young and old, and they were hidden in the second floor of the underground shelter, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Speaking of which, the Japanese have not come to harass them for a long time, even though their village is less than five kilometers away from Ping'an County.

The reason for this is also very simple, because Gujiayu is stationed in the Independent Regiment.

The Japanese in Ping'an County knew very well that even if they came, they would not get any advantage, so they simply stopped coming.

But this is how people are. The string that is tight over time will relax and gradually lose vigilance. The villagers in Gujiayu are the same.

Last night, the Eighth Battalion of the Independent Regiment, which was originally stationed in Gujiayu, was suddenly transferred away.

Then tonight, the Japanese in Ping'an County suddenly came to kill and set fire. And this time the cavalry came, which was too fast. Before all the villagers in Gujiayu moved into the tunnel, the Japanese cavalry arrived.

Fortunately, there were militias in Gujiayu, and they both took their own casualties and delayed the Japanese cavalry.

Under the cover of militia, more than 200 entries in the village successfully moved into the tunnel.

I don’t know how long it took to hide in the dim underground space, but a beam of light finally lit up in the corridor ahead, and someone came over with a flashlight.

"Who?" A militia immediately raised the Hanyang rifle and pointed the muzzle at the corridor.

"I, Duan Guoxing." A peaceful voice came from outside the corridor, "Where is Uncle Lao Gu?"

"Secretary Duan, are you here?" Uncle Lao Gu hurriedly came forward and saw Duan Guoxing, a senior official from Qingyun District, walk in with a flashlight, followed by an Eighth Route Army soldier.
