Chapter 54: The Tiger Comes Out of the Mountain
After Yue Siliang learned of the devil's conspiracy, his mind began to spin rapidly.
He had also thought about the idea of sending a telegram to the regimental headquarters and asking the large army to relieve the siege of the first battalion, but soon Yue Siliang himself overturned this idea.
It is not difficult to guess that the devil is obviously misled. Wrongly judged that Baiyatai, which was the place where the grain was traded, was the headquarters of his 424th Regiment. Otherwise, there would be no need for the devils to go out in unison, and it is clear that the target is not a battalion at all.
After thinking about this, Yue Siliang completely dispelled the idea of passively saving the first battalion.
This time the actions of the Japanese devils were planned for a long time, and the 424th Regiment itself was already in a passive state. If the large army goes to the rescue of another battalion at this time, it will be in a weak position in terms of strategic position.
For the Japanese, they belong to the attack and must be saved. If the regimental headquarters recklessly went to the rescue, it would fall into the vicious circle of being surrounded and sent to help.
The tactic of "encircling points to send reinforcements" was still a tactic invented by the commander-in-chief during the Red Army period, and Yue Siliang also studied it specially. Naturally, it was impossible for him to jump into this circle easily.
In the end, he decided to use the method of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" to break the situation.
There will be such a calculation is also Yue Siliang took into account the conditions of both the enemy and us, the 424 regiment has only two radio stations, and these two radio stations are still all in the regiment headquarters, except for Cheng Fei, there is only one second knife in the regiment that has just been taught for a few days, and it is still in the learning stage, and there is no unit sent to the battalion level.
That is to say, after Yue Siliang and the others now occupied the telegraph office, they were only able to communicate with the regimental headquarters, and there was no way to contact the first battalion.
However, the Japanese are different, and unlike the 424 Regiment, the conditions of the Japanese are much more advanced, communication is more convenient, and radio and telephone are also popularized among the grassroots troops. If there is a change in the county, the direction of the West Village Brigade will definitely receive the news.
For the West Village Brigade, the 424th Regiment is a threat, but the county seat is more important. Because Lingqiu is a small hub station from Hebei to Jinbei, if it is not guaranteed, the rear of the Japanese army will also become unstable. The Japanese would never allow the county seat in the occupied area to be threatened, and they would rather endure the hiding of rival forces in the countryside than the loss of the county seat.
Yue Siliang believed that once the Xicun Brigade received a threat from the county seat, it would definitely shake his determination to use force against Baiyatai. In that way, the pressure of the first battalion in the direction of Baiyatai will naturally be reduced a lot, and there will naturally be more room for maneuvering in the middle.
His strategy can be said to be taking the enemy's strengths as the direction of attack, attacking the Japanese army's information smoothly, clearly telling him that we are attacking the county town, and from then on to shake the enemy's mind.
As the saying goes, the first army to attack the enemy, the second to attack the enemy, and the second to attack the army, in the war, the rational use of the tactics of attacking the heart can often play a role in surprise. Of course, Yue Siliang's use of this trick can also be said to be a last resort, he is also gambling, betting that the first battalion can hold out long enough, enough to wait until the offensive tactics ferment to the most suitable time.
After all, don't forget, after the second expedition, there are four words that are attacking the city, but fortunately, the current Lingqiu is an empty city with empty troops.
……
Five drum beams, 424 regimental headquarters.
In the telegraph room, the two-knife telegraph operator received a word that made him a little confused.
"Deputy Commander, come and see, what does this sentence mean?"
The telegraph operator ran to Wang Shuangyin's side with the translated message in a bit of a panic, and handed it to him nervously. Because this telegram was sent in clear code, he didn't know who sent it, and in short, it would never be sent by his own people through the internal radio.
"Huh? Received a telegram from somewhere? ”
Wang Shuangyin received the message in his hand and said something uncertain. When it came to telegraphs, he didn't dare to make a decision lightly, especially at this juncture. Just now, Bai Lin sent a few communication soldiers to report to him a piece of news that made his heart fall into the ice cellar: the Xicun Brigade made a surprise attack on Baiyatai.
Just when Wang Shuangyin was undecided, he saw the content of the telegram at a glance, and he was shocked at that time.
"This telegram ...... Could it be that the head of the regiment sent it? ”
Wang Shuangyin, who saw this telegram with unknown meaning in the eyes of the telegraph operator, understood very clearly that this telegram was a secret language that Yue Siliang had mastered.
In fact, it is not necessarily a secret language, just because this way of speaking is actually a semi-public, but at this moment, Wang Shuangyin is very sure that this is a telegram sent by Yue Siliang, because apart from Yue Siliang, he can't think of anyone else in the army under the world who will use this kind of secret language.
"The moon is the rule, the middle is all Ding, and the mold is ten thousand beams."
The meaning of this sentence translates as:
"The 424th Regiment, all the combatants stationed in Wuguliang, sent troops to attack Lingqiu County."
This way of speaking is actually widely mastered among some specific groups of people, its scientific name is called "spring point", it is a way of communication used by people who run the rivers and lakes to communicate with each other in order to prevent the layman from hearing out that they are in the industry, to put it bluntly, it is actually the black language spoken by the rivers and lakes, and it is widely used in the fight for the arts, the knife wound medicine, the fortune teller, the petty thief, and even the green forest road.
Yue Siliang's ability to use this kind of thing is inseparable from his special experience, and in 1925, Yue Siliang was forced to escape from Baoding, when he was wanted by warlords and forced to change his name to today.
A fifteen-year-old boy walks alone in the rivers and lakes, and the money on his body is quickly spent, if it is not for the pistol on his body to defend himself, he may even have a problem with personal safety.
After two or three years in the rivers and lakes, Yue Siliang can be said to have truly learned how to survive in the mighty torrent, and of course he has also learned a lot of things that ordinary people may not be able to touch in their lifetime, such as the "spring point" that only the so-called "people in the door" on the rivers and lakes understand.
After entering the ranks of the revolution, Yue Siliang rarely mentioned those things. Sometimes, though, this mess can be of great use. However, Di Hanming is a little resistant to these, after all, there are too many gray things on the rivers and lakes, and this kind of things that are heavy in the rivers and lakes cannot be brought in.
On the contrary, Wang Shuangyin has to look at it a lot, but he thinks that things like "spring dots" are indeed somewhat useful, at least using this "encrypted form" to transmit information, not to mention that even if the Japanese intercept it, they can't understand it, even if they are "old friends". How could those young masters, gentlemen, and military cadets understand such "ninth-rate" things?
"This ......"
Although he said that he understood the meaning of the message, Wang Shuangyin made a difficult mistake.
Before receiving this telegram, Wang Shuangyin had already learned that the first battalion had been attacked by the Japanese army. According to Wang Shuangyin's idea, of course, he wanted to go to Baiyatai to rescue. But now he suddenly received such a telegram asking the second battalion and the third battalion to attack the county seat, if it was not sent in a special way, Wang Shuangyin really would not believe that this was Yue Siliang's order.
"Deputy Commander, what are we going to do?"
Seeing that Wang Shuangyin was in trouble, the telegraph operator had no idea on his side, and it was not to stand here and wait, nor was it to leave.
"Can you call back?"
Hearing Wang Shuangyin ask, the telegraph operator was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hesitantly.
……
In the county telegraph office, a strange exchange of fire between the guard platoon and the security regiment is going on.
Outside the telegraph office, more than 100 security regiments were firing continuously at the telegraph office, which was closed at the gates. However, they did not make any additional moves.
The guard platoon in the telegraph office was also in a state of unsuspecting, and it was not a very fierce confrontation with the security regiment outside, they were just vigilantly holding guns and staring outside.
The gun used by the guard platoon was a Mauser pistol, that is, a twenty-shot box gun. In addition, the guard platoon uses a special Mauser pistol, which can be attached to the pistol grip as a butt. In the Eastern Theater, where firepower is insufficient, the Mauser pistol can be used as a submachine gun.
"Smack! Syllable! ……”
The guards did not fire very often, but a blank area was cleared in front of the telegraph office, so that the members of the security regiment did not dare to approach easily for a while.
"Commander, there's a callback!"
In the process of stalemate between the two sides, Yue Siliang finally waited for a call back from the regiment headquarters.
Holding the translated message in his hand, there was only a question from Wang Shuangyin.
"How about leaving the plate, plain Wan?"
Wang Shuangyin was asking what to do in the direction of the first battalion.
struck a match, lit a cigarette for himself, and burned Wang Shuangyin's callback.
"Call back!"
Wugu Liang didn't let Wang Shuangyin wait too long, and Yue Siliang's call back arrived. After taking it in his hand, only four words were written on it.
"Execute the order."
