Chapter 226: The enemy's situation is still unclear

In accordance with the plan he set for persuasion before attack, economy before military, inside the city first and then outside the city, cultural follow-up, suppression and promotion at the same time, Nakagawa Eiichi respectively issued top-secret tasks to Qian Wanlin, the captain of the detective team, and Liu Guangxiung, the puppet county magistrate of Lin'an County. This heralded the official launch of the Mt. Fuji Plan, which had been planned by the Japanese government and the Japanese High Command for a long time, to turn the tide of the war and turn back the declining situation and support the Pacific and Southeast Asian theaters. However, the first step carried out by Nakagawa Eiichi was intended to test and consume the multi-point attack of the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment in Shuihe Village, but it was unexpectedly defeated, and the tactical goal was completely unachieved. What made him even more puzzled was that he didn't know the number and strength of the troops that launched the surprise attack from behind the Japanese army, and he couldn't help but be frightened and anxious. Although he strictly ordered his subordinates to investigate, he didn't know where to start.

All the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment and the leaders of their superiors did not know the specific content of the Japanese army's plan for Mount Fuji. Among all the troops of the Japanese army invading China in Lin'an County, only Nakagawa Eiichi knows.

Since Nakagawa Eiichi took office, Lin'an County has ostensibly implemented a series of Huairou pacification strategies, which has made the county seat of Lin'an County appear to be prosperous on the surface.

The county seat of Lin'an County. Lin'an Street.

Fang Luqing sat firmly in the closed rickshaw and used the radio station hidden in it to quickly send out a work report and a phrase telegram asking for instructions on the crowded and noisy street, and after three minutes, he turned off the radio station, put away the headphones, lifted the curtain in front of him, and gently stomped his feet twice, wearing a straw hat and wearing a rickshaw driver's number on his upper body, and his companion who was responsible for guarding and protecting himself bent down and grabbed the handlebars and strode towards the Chengdong National Model Middle School. Not long after, the radio signal detection vehicle of the Japanese army's special high school passed by Fang Luqing under the escort of two three-wheeled motorcycles, one in front and one behind, and many pedestrians on the street panicked and avoided it.

Just now, Fang Luqing strictly ordered his subordinates to stop all activities at Anping Bookstore, try to go out as much as possible, and wait for her next instruction. Now, Fang Luqing is going to school to visit her colleague Tian Yuanxiu and her four-year-old daughter Niuniu, and send some money to help their mother and daughter.

Lin'an County, Hebei border area. Shuihe Village Village Office. The Eighth Route Army supplemented the regimental headquarters in the courtyard.

The political commissar, chief of staff, Huang Zhongde, Wu Staff Officer, guards, correspondents, and others happily discussed and fiddled with a large pile of trophies, such as rifles, machine guns, grenadiers, mortars, and ammunition boxes.

Yu Genshan and Han Dagang hid in the war room of the regiment headquarters and stood in front of the map.

"Huh? Dagang, tell me more about it, what the hell is going on? Yu Genshan looked at the battle map, half-turned to look at Han Dagang and asked puzzledly.

"Regiment commander, three companies of our army fought with the Japanese army at three locations at the same time, shelling and firing at each other, and neither the enemy nor us took the initiative to launch a charge and fight bayonets. After about an hour of confrontation, the Japanese army stopped attacking and voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield. At that time, I was wondering what was going on, when the Japanese army was unexpectedly attacked suddenly and violently from the rear. I could hear that the blocking force used mortars, grenadiers, machine guns, and automatic weapons, as if they were German-style submachine guns, and I did not hear the sound of rifle fire, but after a while of intensive firing, there was a burst of explosions of dense grenades, and then the fighting suddenly stopped, and the blocking force completely disappeared, and it took about ten minutes before and after. In terms of the use of weapons, this is like the Kuomintang army, and in terms of tactical tactics, it is completely the tactical tactics of our Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas, making full use of the favorable terrain, approaching quickly and concealedly, pinching the right time and seeing the right time to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, but they will never entangle, nor do they intend to annihilate everything, and they will immediately withdraw from the battle and leave the battlefield after causing some casualties to the devils. ”

"Well, play smart and beautiful. Dagang, what happened then? ”

"After the gunfire died down for a while, the gunfire rang out again, and I knew that this was the Japanese army preparing to launch a counterattack. I ordered three companies to outflank and attack at the same time, and completely annihilate the devils of these three squads. Hey? When we arrived, we didn't see a single living corpse full of devils. I did the math, and the devil must have died about two-thirds of the time. The fighters cleaned up the battlefield and brought back a whole bunch of loot. However, there was one thing that was very strange, all three company commanders reported to me that the bodies of the devil communication soldiers had been found in three places, but the radio station had not been found. ”

"It's not surprising. It may be that the devil who didn't die brought it back. Da Gang, you can briefly analyze the two things of the simultaneous parallel attack of the three-way devils and the blocking force from which they came from. ”

"Yes. The devil's three-point offensive has an obvious tactical purpose, which is intended to test our army's response to battle, defense system, firepower allocation, current combat effectiveness, and ammunition reserves. Obviously, this is a preparation for a strategic big war in the future. Where did the blocking force come from? It's hard to say, I'm thinking about it, maybe my master's sixth brother Fang Jiren secretly deployed the eyes, nails, and hidden stakes in several villages near the battlefield in advance. ”

"Wait, wait. Deputy Head Han, Comrade Han Dagang, what do you mean by eyes, nails, and hidden stakes? Why can't I understand? Explain it to me first."

"Yes, Commander. Eyes, nails, and dark piles are folk sayings, and they are also a common language and practice of Jianghu people. The eye is a wandering observation post that is not fixed in a specific area, and the nail is to secretly track and monitor the suspicious person or thing after discovering it, and probe the final result. The eyes and nails are a bit like the plainclothes scouts of our Eighth Route Army in enemy-occupied areas. The secret stake is a secret stronghold set up in the enemy's area, which is responsible for collecting and transmitting intelligence, transferring one's own people and transporting materials, and concealing and covering three or five combat personnel, similar to the underground secret intelligence traffic station of our army. Before joining the Eighth Route Army, Fang Jiren and I had done things like eyes, nails, and hidden stakes. Commander, you understand if I explain it this way, right? ”

"Well, I see. Da Gang, according to what you say, the troops that launched a surprise attack from behind the devils in these three places were organized by Francis? Is this possible? How would he know when the devils in Lin Anzhen would be dispatched? It was also divided into three ways. Why didn't the blocking forces cooperate with our army to completely annihilate these three devils? Since they are fighting devils together, why do you want to hide and not take a picture with our army? Can you explain these things? ”

"Hey, Commander, what else does this need to explain? Okay, then I'll break it up and crumple it with you, and I'll talk to you one thing at a time. First, it is very likely that the attack on the devil behind the back was initiated by the Franciscan organization. Commander, think about it, who else can there be besides him in the entire western Hebei region? It is certainly not the Kuomintang army, nor will it be the county brigades, district squads, and guerrillas under the leadership of our party and our army, who are not even equipped with rifles, let alone automatic weapons. And, now they're all trimming. Second, the apprentices of the Fang family Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall are all over the western Hebei and North China, many of them are the apprentices taught by Fang Jiren, they are the eyes, nails, and dark piles of the Fang family. Once the secret stakes deployed by Fang Jiren in several villages discovered the enemy's situation, he would immediately fly pigeons to exchange information, and then go out together. Not to mention three ways, even if you come out of ten ways, you can't escape their eyes. Third, it is indeed a pity that there are no devils who are completely annihilated, they must have their own tactical ideas and concerns. The hidden stakes deployed by Fang Jiren in a few villages may only be a squad of troops, and the total annihilation of the devils is slightly insufficient, and it is even more necessary to take care of the devils in the county seat of Lin'an County to quickly dispatch to copy the back road. I pondered that Fang Jiren's tactical strategy might be to secretly lurk in front of the devil, not to expose it, not to face the devil. Once they seize the opportunity, they will launch surprise attacks and sneak attacks, attack quickly, fight quickly, and leave quickly, with the principle of effectively striking and killing devils and protecting their own living forces. Fourth, you can secretly cooperate with our supplementary regiment to conduct joint operations, but you will never show your face, because there are still hidden agents in the supplementary regiment that have not been dug up. Ouch, Captain, I'm finally done. ”

"Ouch, you said that this chase is quite neck-wrapping. But I get it all. Francis did the right thing and did it well. In doing so, he not only relieved the pressure on my supplementary group, but also secretly restrained the devils, and the cunning devils were still confused. Ay? Dagang, why didn't you talk about these things when the political commissar and chief of staff were there just now? ”

"Can't say. Leader, as long as Fang Jiren is involved in the future, no matter what it is, we can only say it separately and privately, and we must keep it secret. Do you understand? ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I understand, listen to you, and that's what I'll do in the future."

The political commissar, chief of staff, Huang Zhongde, Staff Officer Wu and others walked into the war room one after another.

"Commander, where are you so the leader? I don't give you a few cigarettes to smoke, it's too stingy, right? Han Dagang glared and complained with a white face.

"Why do you have to give it to you as soon as you ask me? I'm almost out of nowhere. If you don't give, you don't give, you don't give a single thing, you can say whatever you like, and it's useless to say anything. Yu Genshan, who understood it, pouted his lips and refused in a tough and resolute tone.
