320 Provenance of grain
…… Two days later, Lao Hei, who lived up to expectations, brought good news to everyone when he returned to the new third regiment.
Everything was as Han Feng expected, after the granary in Heyuan County was taken by Han Feng and his party, the devils in the county ran out of food, and they could not raise it in a short time, so they could only transport grain from other counties.
The first few batches of grain were transported over one after another more than ten days ago, and Lao Hei also received information at that time, but that batch of grain was very small, Han Feng couldn't look at it, and he didn't want to startle the snake, so he simply generously released the devil's transport team into Heyuan County.
The devils have tasted the sweetness, in their intelligence system, in the area of Heyuan County, there are only the independent regiment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment of the Eighth Route Army dozens of kilometers away, plus the troops of Chu Yunfei of the 3rd, 5th, and 8th regiments of the Jinsui Army, a total of four relatively large-scale anti-Japanese armed forces, as for the other anti-Japanese armed forces, they are some scattered local militias and guerrillas, which are completely unsuccessful.
In the first few transports, the Japanese army only sent two squads to escort them, and they also successfully transported the grain to Heyuan County, all of which proved the judgment of the Japanese commander, and there was no decent anti-Japanese armed force in the vicinity of Heyuan County that could threaten their transport team.
But the little devil is very wrong to think like this, in Baijia Village, at the foot of the independent mountain less than 10 kilometers away from Heyuan County, there is an anti-Japanese armed force of more than 2,000 troops-the New Third Regiment.
It's just that the New Third Regiment has just been established for less than two months, and it has not yet had time to engage in any kind of confrontation with the Japanese army, and for this reason, in the intelligence department of the Japanese army in Heyuan County, the name of the New Third Regiment has not been heard of at all.
So Han Feng had an excellent opportunity to make a move: in a few days, the devils in Heyuan County ate up the several batches of grain that had been transported, and the Japanese army saw that this time the transportation was not a problem, and a large-scale transportation must be carried out to completely ensure the food problem of the Japanese soldiers in Heyuan County.
Then there is nothing to say, with the experience of successfully transporting grain in the previous few times, the little devil magnified his courage this time, and decided to transport all the grain collected in the past ten days to a dozen wagons of grain to Heyuan County at one time.
When Lao Hei sent the information back, the cadres of the New Third Regiment were happy about it.
Shi Wencai said happily: "Commander, if we are really sleepy, someone will send pillows, with this batch of food, the brothers will not have to worry about training." ”
Deng Pang, the commander of the second battalion, was an out-and-out militant, and what he was concerned about was not the issue of food, but the question of who would go to the convoy that fought devils this time.
After following Han Feng for so long, Deng Bi knew that it was impossible for him, the regiment commander, to use the strength of a regiment to deal with a small transport team, how many people were in the devil's transport team? It is not a regular combat unit, and the strength of a regiment to fight devils and a transport team is a bit overkill.
Then there is only one possibility, the regiment commander will only send one battalion at most this time to fight the transport team.
Who will you send? Deng Pang took the lead in asking for battle: "The brothers of my second battalion have been training for so long, and they have long wanted to do a big job, this time the transport team of fighting devils, you must let me go to the second battalion, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my brothers when I go back." ”
Shi Wencai, the commander of the first battalion, reacted at this time, and secretly scolded the second battalion elder Deng in his heart for not being interesting enough, isn't this a chance to fight with himself!
Is that worth it?
"Regiment commander, if you want to go, you will also go to my first battalion, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the past two months of training, our first battalion is the best, and when it comes to combat effectiveness, our first battalion must be the strongest."
Sun Desheng, the commander of the third battalion who did not speak on the side, was a soldier who absolutely obeyed orders, and he would not go to the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander to seize the opportunity to fight, but the meaning was very clear: "Regiment commander, as long as the gun sounds, our third battalion must all participate in the battle, we are soldiers, not sitting idly waiting for our comrades to exchange their blood and lives for food waste." ”
Shi Wencai: ......
Deng Pang ......
The two of them invariably gave Sun Desheng a thumbs up, this is a ruthless person.
Han Feng admired that his three battalion commanders all had the motivation to fight, and he said with a smile: "Don't fight, no one is indispensable in this operation, and all three battalions are dispatched." ”
Shi Wencai was stunned, "Regiment commander, three battalions, that's one of our regiments, and we're going to deal with a transport squadron of devils?" ”
Deng Pang and Sun Desheng were also a little puzzled, and the three of them looked at the head of the regiment Han Feng in confusion.
Han Feng said: "You don't have to look at me like this, this time we are the whole regiment, and the troops are only a few."
Have you ever heard of a saying? If you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster, or you don't do it, or you want to do it.
What is a transport squadron, just a little bit of food, my new third regiment is not in my eyes, the independent regiment has more than 5,000 people and dares to fight Ping'an County, and our new third regiment now has more than 2,000 people, why can't we take down this Heyuan county? ”
Sun Desheng and the three of them widened their eyes, since the Anti-Japanese War, it has always been the devils who easily occupy the cities of the people, and they have never heard of any regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and they want to knock down the devils in a county at every turn.
The independent regiment became famous because of the attack on Ping'an County, could it be that the new Third Regiment was also ready to follow suit and defeat Heyuan County?
…… Of course, Han Feng didn't think so, firstly, the Japanese troops stationed in Ping'an County were far more than those in Heyuan County, and secondly, he wanted to stir the entire northwest of Shanxi into a pot of porridge like Li Yunlong, which was basically impossible to achieve, because there was no ace team in Heyuan County like Yamamoto's special team that was worthy of the enemy's successive rescues.
Han Feng said: "You don't have to be surprised, the garrison of this Heyuan county is not as many as Ping'an County, and the county is far inferior to Ping'an County in terms of scale and strategic location, and there are no neighboring counties around that can quickly support."
Although our strength at the moment is far less than the scale of the independent regiment attacking Ping'an County, the difficulty of our attack on Heyuan County is much lower than that of Ping'an County, so it is not as difficult as you think to defeat Heyuan County.
The opportunity for us to attack Heyuan County also revolves around this transport team, you think about it, if the transport team is attacked by us not far from Heyuan County, the Japanese army in Heyuan County will definitely go out of the city gate to rescue, after all, this transport team is to send them food.
And at that time, our opportunity also came, if the little devils shrank in the county, we would definitely not be able to fight, but as long as they dare to come out, how many of us will have that appetite to eat.
The first battalion was responsible for killing the devil's transport team, and the second battalion set up an ambush in the middle of the way to ambush the Japanese troops who came out of the county town.
Lao Sun's third battalion and the other half of the second battalion must storm Heyuan County in the shortest possible time, at that time, Heyuan County was empty because of the aid transport team, which was an excellent opportunity for us to capture Heyuan County. ”
It was as simple as that, and Han Feng made the combat mission clear to the three battalion commanders.
Shi Wencai and the three of them were a little stunned when they heard this, they originally just wanted to kill a transport team of devils to grab some food, but how did it develop into a battle for Heyuan County in a blink of an eye?
The head of the regiment has never been able to figure it out......
