Chapter 482 Yukou Coal Mine, the battle begins!
Datongyukou Coal Mine, Nangou.
The Japanese's plunder of Datong Coal Mine was systematic. They not only had combat troops responsible for guarding the mine, but also had gendarmerie, mine police, secret agents, foreign dog teams and other personnel in the mining area to monitor the miners. They also set up a series of small bosses within the miners to manage these miners. It can be said that the miners inside had almost no possibility of escape.
Every day, new miners were captured or deceived, and every day, miners died from disease, accidents, exhaustion, or even beatings by the Japanese.
Under the Japanese plan, this place was almost a purgatory, with the tragedy of exchanging people for coal constantly happening.
Almost one Chinese life is lost for every 230 tons of coal produced.
Currently stationed near Datong is the Japanese Third Mixed Brigade. According to previous reconnaissance, a regiment of Japanese troops is stationed near Yukou.
This caused considerable trouble for the independent regiment in its attack on the Yukou Coal Mine.
"Commander, according to your deployment, we can quickly contain a regiment of the Japanese, making it impossible for them to worry about the situation at the coal mine.
But the devils still have a lot of military police or puppet troops at the coal mine. Once they get the news and choose to kill the miners on a large scale, our plan will fail."
Zhang Dabiao pointed at the distribution of the Japanese on the map and said with some headache.
In fact, judging from the current strength of the independent regiment, defeating a regiment of Japanese invaders is not a difficult task, as they are just a Class B unit. However, it is actually a very difficult task to contain the Japanese invaders so quickly and control the order in the mining area.
Now there is no way to send people into the mining area to act as insiders, and the news cannot be spread out at all.
"In this case, we will double the pressure and arrange for the monks and others to use rotorcraft to quickly break into the Japs' mining area and complete the breakthrough and targeted elimination of the Japs' key nodes.
Then, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, Lu Guoliang, led his troops to meet up with the Liangshan Detachment and actually occupied the mining area.
The troops of our three battalions quickly completed the cleanup of the Japanese regiment stationed on the periphery.
Furthermore, we must immediately cut off the connection between the Japanese troops stationed outside and the Japanese military police inside the mining area."
Li Yunlong looked at it for a while and finally made a decision.
"Yes, Captain, I'll arrange it right away."
The monk and several battalion commanders quickly received the order and went to make preparations.
"Monk, wait a moment."
Li Yunlong called the monk.
"Captain, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, your Liangshan Special Forces went there for reconnaissance before. Are our personnel densely distributed in the mining area?"
"Yes, Captain, do you mean that we should be a little more careful when attacking so as not to hurt those miners?" the monk said with some confusion.
"No, I don't mean to make you shrink back. I mean to make you fight decisively and eliminate those devils and puppet troops in the fastest and most decisive way.
When Lao Yu talks to you, the phrase he always says is that only drastic measures can reveal a kind heart.
At this time, the faster the knife, the fewer people will die."
Li Yunlong looked into the monk's eyes and said.
The monk nodded. He saw a determination in the captain's eyes.
"Captain, I will."
"Go."
The team leader waved his hand and said nothing more.
......
The Liangshan Special Forces drove a truck and found a suitable location ten kilometers away from the Japanese coal mine. It was a mountaintop with a road extending to it, which was just right for the Liangshan Special Forces' rotorcraft to function.
At this time, the entire Liangshan Special Forces already had eight gyroplanes, and these gyroplanes no longer used the engines modified from the Japanese two-seater motorcycles at the beginning, but used engines that had been redesigned and modified by Yu Ye, which could be regarded as a training ground for the workers in the precision machining workshop.
The new rotorcraft will have a higher climbing altitude and longer air time, which is much better than the four rotorcraft that were hastily put together before.
Yu Ye also arranged for Li Junhua to strengthen the design of the rotorcraft's ammunition bay. Not only did he use steel plates to strengthen the protection, but he also increased the capacity of the ammunition bay. It was no problem to carry 10 rockets and fuel-air bombs at a time.
While the monk was making intensive preparations, Lao Li, with four heavy artillery pieces, was also making adjustments before the attack.
Before coming, Yu Ye was a little confused when he saw that Lao Li only brought 4 heavy artillery pieces. Why did Lao Li only bring 4 heavy artillery pieces? Lao Li only replied with one sentence: "To deal with these devils, there is no need to use all our assets."
After quick preparation, all combat units of the independent regiment have arrived at their designated locations and are ready for war.
Although Lao Li said it lightly, he had done very thorough preparations and left no chance for the Japanese.
When the pointer pointed to half past twelve noon, the monk simply pulled the engine of the gyroplane, and eight gyroplanes took off directly on the spot.
The sound of the propeller mechanically stirring the air sounded the clarion call for this battle.
......
Yukou Coal Mine.
Driven by the Japanese gendarmerie, the ragged Chinese miners walked towards the work shed where meals were served. They all had tired faces and were covered in black coal dust and dirt, and they hardly looked like human beings.
What was waiting for them was some moldy noodles mixed with sweet potato vines, some of which could even be called pig food.
Even this kind of food was hard to come by for the miners, as most of them could not even get enough to eat.
On their almost numb faces, there was only a moment of expression after they received the food, as if at this moment they were themselves.
They only had less than half an hour to eat at around 12:30, as they had to go down the mine to continue working.
The Japanese soldiers on guard post around looked at the Chinese miners underground fighting for the food that even pigs would not eat. There was a flash of disdain in their eyes. They even treated these people as human beings. They thought that the Chinese miners were just animals used for mining.
Before, they had killed too many of these animals with knives, guns, and whips. These "animals" did not know how to resist, nor could they resist, and they gained some perverted pleasure from it.
Just when everything was developing as usual in the past two or three years, the Japanese on the high alert position suddenly heard an unusual buzzing sound, and they didn't know where the buzzing sound came from.
Just as the Japanese turned around and looked around, four helicopters carrying people suddenly appeared behind the top of a mountain not far away.
The moment the Japanese saw the gyroplane, the soldiers of the Liangshan Special Forces who were responsible for shooting on the four gyroplanes simultaneously pulled the trigger on the 4 guns in their hands.
Four rocket launchers fired directly at the predetermined key targets, the Japanese bunkers and strongholds.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Four balls of flame shot up into the sky.
