Chapter 140: Tunnels
The Yamazaki Brigade under the command of Yamazaki Jihei belongs to an infantry brigade under the command of the 21st Wing of the Japanese Army, because it is impossible for the main force of the wing stationed in Daiyue City to go south, so Yamazaki Jihei can only garrison Huairen City with an infantry brigade with more elite combat effectiveness, and also take into account the defense of Daiyue City, after all, Huairen City is not far from Daiyue.
At this time, Yamazaki Jihei was annoyed that he could not perform military exploits on the battlefield, after all, according to his previous military exploits, if he could annihilate the Shina Army, which had recently posed a major threat to the Japanese troops in Jin Province, then his Yamazaki Jihei's military exploits should be able to rise one step further.
It's just a pity that the captain of the wing at the top also has to make war achievements, after all, there is also a tilt within the Japanese army.
At this time, Yamazaki Jihei was bored to defend Huairen City, and after watching the main force of the wing go south, his infantry brigade was doing the work of defending the city, which was really helpless.
At this time, Yamazaki Jihei was in the headquarters of the infantry brigade in Huairen City, looking at the map, although Yamazaki Jihei did not understand that the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Jin Province, Yoshio Shinozuka, the old devil, used the strength of five wings to besiege the new regiment of Shina hiding in Hengshan.
But thinking that the new regiment killed His Royal Highness Prince Toshihiko Fushimi Palace, as well as Her Royal Highness Princess Miyakoto Miyako, His Majesty the Emperor was extremely angry, and although he despised the combat effectiveness of the Shina army, the elite units of the Japanese army that the new regiment had been annihilated one after another during this period of time also made the chagrin of Yamazaki Jihei wake up, and the new regiment is an opponent, a difficult opponent.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, there is the latest development in the matter, our reconnaissance plane has discovered the movement of the new regiment after withdrawing from Shanyin City, and it is indeed in Yingcheng! It seems that before San'in Castle was raided, the garrison of Yingcheng should have been attacked, so that there was no warning in the direction of Yingcheng in the east of San'in Castle to San'in Castle, so that the Osaka merchants of the Eighth Wing did not notice that the enemy army had come under their noses! No wonder the Osaka merchants were defeated and taken prisoner by the Shina army! ”
In the headquarters of the Yamazaki Brigade in Huairen City, the chief of staff of the Infantry Brigade, Murakami Masano said to the captain of the group, Yamazaki Jihei.
Yamazaki Jihei's gaze shifted from the map, and he immediately waved his hand, signaling his henchman Chief of Staff Murakami Masano to sit down, and immediately despised the Eighth Wing and said: "Yaga, the Osaka vendors of the Eighth Wing, really have a low will to fight!" It belongs to the A division, and the equipment is the best, even if the Zhina army comes to sneak attack, the troops of one of their wings are actually hiding in the Dongcheng camp, isn't this a chance for the Zhina army to sneak attack and block them in vain? What rubbish! ’。
The chief of staff of the brigade on the side, Murakami Masano, also said with disdain: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, according to the latest information collected by our people, I heard that the Eighth Wing was originally going to set off for Yingcheng yesterday, but it took more than fifty minutes to assemble outside Dongcheng City. But by that time it was already dark, and these Osaka vendors were clamoring to march at night! I had to leave the next morning, and the wing commander Hashimoto Taro had no choice but to drive the assembled main force of the wing to live in the Tojo camp, and once Hashimoto Taro and his chief of staff, Taiichiro Yamamoto, were also sitting at the door of the Tojo camp in person, looking at a group of Osaka vendors, I was afraid that they would slip away in the middle of the night! ”。
Yamazaki Jihei suddenly sneered and said: "If our Yamazaki Brigade had the equipment of the Eighth Wing, we would have killed the so-called elite troops of the new regiment and this branch army a long time ago!" It's a pity! We can't make a move! ”。
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, right now, as long as we guard Huairen City, it's not bad. At present, all over Jin Province, there are local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army that are attacking, and many of the soldiers we scattered out have been shot black by the Eighth Route Army! Murakami Masano suddenly said that the Japanese troops have a headache for the recent public order.
When the chief of staff of the devil brigade said this, the old devil Yamazaki Jihei suddenly said angrily: "Bagaya Road, these local armed forces of the Zhina Army are simply mosquito-like, and they are very uncomfortable!" Forget it, let's not talk about this, Murakami-kun, you send people to strengthen the patrol of the city, and during this time, you must also pay attention to it, don't let the stragglers of the Shina Army sneak into the city! We still have to pay close attention to public security! ’。
"Hey! Your Excellency Shaozuo, you understand! Murakami Masano nodded.
At this time, just when Yamazaki Jihei regretted not leading the army to participate in the attack on the new regiment, at this time, his unfortunate opponent, Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment, had already led the troops straight from the direction of Yingcheng.
Li Yunlong led his men to cross the Sangqian River at the speed of a rapid march and went straight to Huairen City; although most of the roads were up the mountain, the new regiment had been engaged in guerrilla warfare in the northeastern part of Jin Province for many years, and it was already trivial to climb mountains and wade through rivers, and the soldiers' feet did not have to be much weaker than the wheels of the cars.
In a hurry, Li Yunlong led more than 430 people to a forest outside the southern city of Huairen, and the dense woods could hide the bodies of the soldiers well.
Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others stepped out of the back of a dirt slope thirty meters from the hidden place, and took out binoculars to observe the movement of Huairen City in front of them.
After observing for a while, Li Yunlong immediately withdrew his telescope, and immediately asked Wei Dayong to take out the map on the spot, pointed to Huairencheng above, and said solemnly to Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion: "Dabiao, look, this is Huairencheng!" Huairen City is separated from Dading Mountain in the east, facing Datong Yunzhou and Hunyuan City, adjacent to Hongtao Mountain and Datong Zuoyun County in the west, connecting with Shuozhou Yingcheng and Shanyin City in the south, and adjacent to Datong Pingcheng and Yungang in the north. It is no wonder that even if the main force of the 21st Wing of the Japanese Army went south, it would have to stay behind with an infantry brigade to hold Huairen, just to keep this important place. Once this place is occupied by us, hehehehe, Datong in the north will be fucking shaken! ”。
"It's a pity that the regiment commander, we only have more than 400 people now, plus Duan Peng's special combat team lurking in the city, there are only more than 480 people, it is okay to attack Huairen City, and it will be dead to attack Datong in the north! Head! Zhang Dabiao said with a smile.
Li Yunlong scolded with a smile: "Damn, of course Lao Tzu won't attack Datong in the north, but there is a Japanese division and regiment troops stationed there!" We, the people, after taking Huairen City, are going to disrupt the deployment of Yoshio Shinozuka's joint attack on Hengshan, and buy time for Zhao Gang to reorganize the troops and train new soldiers! In addition, you can also let Yoshio Shinozuka know that it is not so easy to kill me Li Yunlong! ’。
Li Yunlong continued: "What is needed now is how to seize this strategic place, there is a devil's Yamazaki brigade in the city!" There are more than 1,000 devils, if it is a face-to-face hard battle, we will not be able to please us! Now that the devils are on alert in the city, we have increased the difficulty this time! ’。
"Commander, why don't you follow the old way and attack the city at night?" Zhang Dabiao said.
"How to attack the city?"
Zhang Dabiao immediately thought about it and said, "Commander, how about we sneak into the city from the tunnel?" ”!
