For a long time, the intelligence front has been regarded as a battlefield without gunpowder. Compared with the vigor of the frontal battlefield, the battles on the intelligence front often appear to be swords. Many people die without knowing their true identities.

Hu Biao, who has experience in his military career in his previous life, is very aware of the importance of intelligence to combat troops. Even in later generations, the secret war of intelligence in various countries in a peaceful environment has never stopped. This is enough to show how important intelligence work is!

It is clear that the Japanese army's raid on Gui Province this time is more to cut off the international supply line in the southwest. But in Hu Biao's view, even if the international supply line is cut off, he does not want to see the Japanese army stationed too many troops along the border.

If possible, Hu Biao hoped to compress the Japanese army along the coast. In this way, the Japanese army could not easily threaten Hu Biao's foundation in Xilong. Correspondingly, Hu Biao was also able to constantly confront the Japanese army and train the troops.

Without the cooperation of the intelligence officers, the Japanese infantry brigade that had just occupied Zongzuo did not dare to send troops easily after learning that the infantry brigade had been completely annihilated. If we don't understand the reasons for the total annihilation of the infantry brigade, how can the Japanese army dare to attack easily?

The Japanese army did not come, and Hu Biao was happy to rest for two days. The troops stationed in Longzhou also had more time to build fortifications to cope with the subsequent Japanese invasion. What's more, the longer it drags on, the more materials Hu Biao transfers.

First, all the merchants who cleared the goods were sent to the rear that had not yet been occupied by the little devils, and then the caravans specially hired by Hu Biao also entered Longzhou City one after another, and began to transport the materials purchased by Liu Shixing at a low price out of Longzhou City one after another.

Considering that the Japanese army would send reconnaissance aircraft during the day, it was possible to threaten the transport horse fleet. Hu Biao deliberately asked the horse gang to go into the city at night and transport it. The longer it drags on, the more supplies are transported. When the time comes, leave an empty city for the little devils.

When Hu Biao hurried to build fortifications and transfer materials, the Japanese infantry brigade and regiment that had already occupied Zongzuo City also took the opportunity to let the combat troops rest for two days. Attacking continuously all the way, the little devil is actually a little tired, and it is necessary to take a break.

Taking advantage of the time for the troops to recuperate, the commander of the infantry brigade transferred elite scouts from the army and began to infiltrate the territory of Longzhou, trying to let these scouts find out the situation in Longzhou City at this moment. But as a result, the commander of the infantry brigade was shocked.

"Na? All the reconnaissance teams sent out failed to return on time? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! According to the time we agreed with the reconnaissance team, we waited outside Longzhou City for a long time, but we did not see the reconnaissance team return. On the side of Longzhou, I'm afraid that there will be a special situation that we don't know! ”

"Yaga! How is this possible? Could it be that the Chinese army has gathered heavy troops in Longzhou? ”

As far as the commander of the infantry brigade is concerned, he has a lot of confidence in the intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities of his scouts. The many reconnaissance teams dispatched are extremely experienced in reconnaissance. How is it possible, all of them are planted in the hands of the troops of Longzhou City?

Even if you can't detect the information, no matter what, you can escape a few of them, right?

There is only one explanation for this situation of going and not returning, that is, a large number of troops have been gathered outside Longzhou City. Only in this way can the reconnaissance team that has infiltrated the past be completely annihilated. Is there any other explanation?

If the commander of the infantry brigade knew at this moment that Hu Biao had dispersed his task force into pieces and scattered them in the mountains and forests outside Longzhou City, he would have understood why his reconnaissance team had never returned. The reason is very simple, they are all wiped out in the mountains and forests.

The task force arrived in the southwest and then conducted a series of jungle special operations training and exercises. In addition, they have already mastered the situation of the mountains and forests near Longzhou, and they know where to lurk most safely and hidden.

Once an unknown armed person is found and tries to touch the city of Longzhou from this side of the mountain forest, he will be outflanked and annihilated by the task force. As long as they enter the mountain, it is impossible for these little devil scouts to escape again!

For other defense units, if you want to guard against these little devil scouts with rich combat experience, you really need to send a large number of alert troops. It can be replaced by a task force, but it doesn't need much manpower at all.

Many times, the Japanese reconnaissance team, which had just entered the mountain, suddenly found that there was one person missing. Just as they tried to find the suddenly missing team member, the silence of the mountain forest instantly became terrifying.

The Japanese scouts, who had gone through countless life and death tests, were also frightened: "Baga! Are we going to meet mountain ghosts? Damn, our people, how could they disappear for no reason? Squad leader, what should I do? ”

In fact, these little devils didn't know that when they were cautiously groping forward, the scouts who were wandering on the edge of the mountains and forests were suddenly knocked down and killed by the people who scurried up. Then the corpse was directly covered up by camouflage.

Jungle camouflage was already a very familiar combat item for the officers and men of the task force at that time. If it weren't for Hu Biao's explanation, let them practice with the little devil's scouts, and if they really used the gun, the little devil wouldn't have survived for a few minutes.

Walking in the mountains and forests, I clearly saw a green meadow or bush next to me. But just as they turned their backs, a figure suddenly appeared under the grass or in the bushes, dragging the lone little devil away and killing him.

The other little devils who were on the march turned back and couldn't find the corpses that had been covered up in camouflage. As for the task force of the raid, they have already quietly changed positions and looked for a new opportunity to carry out the raid.

If the Imps' scout team realizes that they have been ambushed and tries to leave the jungle, they will be entertained with crossbow arrows. When they tried to resist or fight, after a burst of gunfire, the mountains and forests quickly calmed down.

In melee battles, crossbows are greeted with pistols or submachine guns, and in distance battles, snipers control the whole field. These little devils in disguise simply can't hold out for long in the hands of the task forces. If you want to escape from the jungle, it is naturally a luxury.

The reconnaissance team that couldn't wait to return, the commander of the infantry brigade finally gritted his teeth and said: "Order the Jiubao Wing to march to Longzhou early tomorrow morning." Then send a telegram to the HNA side, requesting that a squadron of fighters be sent to cooperate in the operation! ”

"Hey!"

Knowing that the longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will become for the infantry brigade that wants to capture Longzhou. In order to find out what was going on in Longzhou, the commander of the infantry brigade finally decided to send a wing to fight.

In his opinion, there should be no problem with the implementation of a squadron of air forces, plus an elite infantry wing, to take Longzhou, which is defended by only one security regiment. Even if the Longzhou defenders crossed a regiment, he didn't feel too worried.

As long as he finds out how many troops are defending Longzhou, then he can make arrangements for the follow-up, whether to ask the division for support or continue to increase troops. If we continue to delay like this, I believe that the division and regiment will also be extremely dissatisfied.

According to the experience of the commander of the infantry brigade, an infantry wing of the Japanese army can often defend a division of the national army. In order to increase the attack power of the infantry wing, the commander of the infantry brigade also sent an additional mountain artillery squadron to the infantry wing.

In addition, there is also a squadron in the air to provide air cover and fire support, even if there is a division of defenders in Longzhou City, the commander of the infantry brigade believes in the infantry wing and is confident that it will be defeated. If the defenders are too strong, increase the air strike force.

At least one thing was well known to the commander of the infantry brigade, that is, the naval air force, which was cooperating with the offensive operation, was eager to have the opportunity to carry out large-scale bombing missions. There are many main forces of the national army assembled there, and those pilots like to fly there to join in the fun.

When the Japanese infantry wing set out from Zongzuo, Hu Biao, who was located in Longzhou, received a telegram. After receiving the telegram sent back by the reconnaissance team, Hu Biao also said directly: "Send this information to Lao Xu immediately, so that he can prepare for battle!" ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

The news of the attack of the Japanese infantry wing was transmitted to Xu Sandao, who was stationed in Longzhou City, as soon as possible, and Hu Biao also began to analyze: "Before we find out the situation in Longzhou, the little devil sent an infantry wing, which is somewhat wrong!" ”

"Wolf head, with the combat ability of the little devil, the combat effectiveness of an infantry wing should be comparable to one of our divisions, right? What's more, these little devils have also pulled a lot of mountain cannons over, and their attack strength is not simple! ”

The subordinates who stayed by his side, when they heard Hu Biao's muttered words, also gave their own answers directly. But Hu Biao still shook his head and said: "Having said that, the little devil still has some tricks!" ”

"Devils attack cities and like to send planes to bomb first. When these little devils come over, they should also call for air support, right? ”

"That's right! If my prediction is correct, the little devil will definitely send planes to help in the next battle! Attack a small county town and send an infantry wing. So the number of fighters sent by the little devil is not too much, right? ”

"Wolf head, what do you mean?"

"The Eagle Strike Brigade has been training for so long since it stayed on the Shillong side. I think maybe we can consider having the Eagle Strike Brigade organize a real battle. If you want to become an ace pilot, you can only experience more baptism in actual combat.

Send a report to the gray wolf and order all intelligence stations along the coast to keep an eye on the movements of the little devil's plane. Once it is discovered that an enemy plane has flown in the direction of Longzhou, the number of little devil fighters will be reported immediately. Telegraphed to the Eagle Strike Brigade to make preparations for the attack.

In order to avoid being discovered in advance by the little devils, let the Eagle Strike Brigade send the second squadron to attack. The second squadron piloted the Japanese fighters captured earlier, and even if they were discovered by the little devils in the process, the little devils should mistake them for their own planes.

As long as the timing is grasped properly, we will have the opportunity to inflict heavy damage or even annihilate the Japanese fighters flying over Longzhou. If you can shoot down a few more little devil fighters, I believe that the little devil will also feel pain and fear! ”

Hu Biao, who had this idea, immediately sent a telegram to Lei Xiong, who was in charge of operations behind enemy lines in the occupied area, and asked him to dispatch an air defense observation post to pay close attention to the situation of enemy planes that might fly to Longzhou from the sea.

Secondly, let the Eagle Strike Squad, which has been expanded into a brigade, be ready for engagement and actual combat. Once there is a chance, you may be able to take advantage of the little devils' inattention to shoot down the invading Japanese fighters. When the time comes, I believe that the little devil will be even more shocked!
