Datong Japanese Army Command.

It was already deep at night, except for the command room, which was still lit up, and several figures were busy inside, and the rest of the place was dark, and even patrols were rare.

At about one o'clock in the morning, the radio on duty in the telecommunications room suddenly went off and the signal lights began to flash.

The dazed telegraph operator suddenly sobered up and quickly put on his headphones......

Ten minutes later, he strode into the command room and reported to the deputy chief of staff on duty: "Sir, there is an urgent call from the blockade line!" ”

"The stronghold of Pingshan Town was attacked, and the enemy's attack fire was very fierce, with mortars and mountain artillery, and the stronghold could fall at any time!"

"Behind the attacking troops, a large number of carts loaded with supplies took the road and headed for the garrison regiment's base area."

The deputy chief of staff is also considered a high-ranking member of the Datong garrison, and has access to some secrets.

Two days ago, the intelligence department forwarded a piece of information that said that the garrison regiment had collected raw materials in Datong and crossed the blockade line to enter the garrison regiment's base area.

When the brigade commander saw this, he was furious, changed several commanders of the blockade line, and also drew nearly 500 people from the already small number of troops in the city to strengthen the strength of the garrison there, so as to prevent further supplies from flowing into the garrison base area from Datong.

Unexpectedly, the anger of the brigade commander had only subsided for two days, and the blockade line had an accident again.

He could imagine that after this telegram appeared in front of the brigade commander, the command would definitely usher in a new storm, and someone in the blockade line would be held accountable, made scapegoats, and bear the wrath of the commander.

The deputy chief of staff knew in his heart that the commander on the blockade line was not to blame for tonight's accident.

No one could have imagined that the Eighth Route Army would change the way of crossing the blockade line, change from sneaky to forceful attack, and still have such strong combat effectiveness.

But the brigade commander didn't care about that.

"I don't want the process, just the result", this is the mantra that the brigade commander often reprimands his subordinates.

The supplies entered the garrison regiment base from the blockade line, and no matter what the reason, the responsibility was on them, and they could not push it off.

After receiving the telegram, he ordered with a long sigh: "Continue to keep in touch with the blockade line, and report the situation as soon as possible." ”

"I'll report this emergency to Your Excellency General right now."

The deputy chief of staff did not guess wrong, and the brigade commander, who received the news, entered the command room and began to curse, until the telegraph man walked in again.

The deputy chief of staff took the telegram and glanced at it, his face sank, and he watched the brigade commander report carefully.

"General, the blockade line is urgent: their radio contact with Pingshan Town has been cut off, and the stronghold has been conquered."

The brigade commander was even more angry, slapped the table and scolded: "A bunch of stupid pigs, so many troops can't even stop a transport team of the Eighth Route Army, what do I want them to do?" ”

"Call them back now: immediately send troops to plug the gap in the Eighth Route Army, if there is another truckload of supplies flowing from Datong into the garrison regiment base area, all officers above the squadron level in the blockade line will be demoted to one level, and the relevant commanders of the battle will wipe it to the end and send it directly to the military court."

"Hey!" At this time, the deputy chief of staff did not dare to say a word of nonsense, and lowered his head to receive the order.

After a few minutes, the anger on the brigade commander's face subsided a little, and he mustered up the courage to continue the report: "General, our garrison headquarters on the blockade line has sent troops to intercept it, and there should be news back soon." ”

"The farewell telegram from the Hirayama stronghold said that during the battle, they saw at least thirty carts full of supplies passing through the stronghold......"

Thirty truckloads of supplies and raw materials will certainly produce a lot of weapons and ammunition.

Thinking that in the near future, the Eighth Route Army would use these weapons and ammunition to attack himself and kill his subordinates, the brigade commander couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at the sand table, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "After dawn, another 500 people will be sent from the city to reinforce the blockade line." ”

"The news that the garrison regiment collected raw materials from Datong and mass-produced weapons and ammunition was known to the military department, and my face was lost."

"If any more raw materials enter the garrison base area from our defense area, and they make weapons and ammunition to attack the imperial army in turn, we are the sinners of the entire Shanxi garrison, and we can't apologize for the crime."

The headquarters of the Hunyuan Independent Battalion in Dongping Village has now become the former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment.

Hong Linfeng was happy to report on the troops' harvest last night.

"Regiment commander, last night we took down two artillery towers and a stronghold along the highway, and we also sent reinforcements, killing more than 100 little devils, more than 300 puppet soldiers, including 142 captured puppet soldiers."

"The weapons and ammunition in the stronghold and turret, except for the destroyed, were all captured by us, and they can almost equip two companies."

"I took matters into my own hands and let the wounded escort the prisoners and prisoners back to the base with the convoy."

Li Hao directly agreed: "The political commissar needs these prisoners and equipment more than us, and he will definitely send them back, your decision is right." ”

"Are our troops all in place?"

Hong Linfeng nodded: "The heavy artillery battalion, the three battalions, and the remaining troops of the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment are all in place, and the troops are lurking at these three points." ”

Hong Linfeng said as he marked the three locations on the map.

Then it went on to report: "In order to ensure the safety of the heavy artillery battalion, I transferred two companies from the anti-aircraft battalion. ”

"Each unit was given rations for ten days, guaranteeing that the target would not be exposed."

Li Hao's thinking turned quickly, and he immediately shifted his gaze to He Jun and Huang Sheng, and said with a serious face.

"Now that the army has gathered, as soon as your intelligence is in place, we can launch an attack on Datong City."

He Jun and Huang Sheng are well-deserved local snakes in Datong, especially He Jun, who led his troops to fight guerrilla warfare here for nearly half a year.

In his own words, he has been to every town in the territory except Datong City.

After glancing at each other, He Jun stood up: "Regiment leader, the information you want has been almost collected." ”

"There are only two pieces of information in the city that have not arrived, they are what we should send from the Imperial Army, no accident, we can get here tonight."

"We'll see how many there are first." Li Hao couldn't wait.

The political commissar is still singing about the empty city plan in the base area.

Before dividing the troops, they have thought of how to deal with possible accidents, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one dares to guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

The sooner you attack, the sooner you can take Datong City, and then return to the base area as soon as possible to solve the crisis.

He Jun didn't know why the regiment commander was in such a hurry, but he knew that the regiment commander's order must be right.

Hurry up and find out what information has been gathered.

"This is specific information about several large coal mines in Datong."

"There are three of them, all of them are in the hands of the devil army."

"Two of the coal mines are a little far away from Datong City, and there are many garrisons, including mine protection teams and devil soldiers, adding up to nearly 1,000 people, well-equipped and strong in combat."

"The devils also relied on the favorable terrain around the coal mine to build a large number of permanent fortifications, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"We've fought twice, and both of them ended in failure."

"Because the third coal mine is very close to Datong City, the infantry can rush over in two hours, and there is only a mine guard team of more than 300 people and a squadron of devil soldiers, but it has also built a large number of permanent fortifications, which are also easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"The other coal mines are all small and medium-sized, in the hands of the devil chaebol, there is a mine protection team in the coal mine, and there is a devil garrison nearby, so we usually take advantage of them."

"If you really beat the devils, you won't be heartbroken, after all, their real losses are very small, and it is easy to build a new coal mine."
