In Luxian County, the garrison headquarters, Fujino, who had not yet fully woken up, was disturbed by the soldiers early in the morning.

"Fujino Daisa, a telegram was sent from the direction of Jianzhuang, and it was attacked by the Jin Sui Army of the brigade, and the squadron leader of Ogawa asked for support!"

After hearing what the soldier said, Fujino didn't care about losing his temper at the soldier, took the telegram in the soldier's hand and looked at it, and after understanding the specific situation, Fujino silently put down the telegram in his hand.

"It seems that the one who attacked Jian Zhuang should be the Du Xingbang Department of the Jin Sui Army, it seems that we need to re-evaluate this Du Xingbang, I only thought he was a mature officer before, and now it seems that he has miscalculated him.

A few days after the adults and I discussed the strategy to deal with him, this Du Xingbang took the lead. ”

Fujino walked out of the office desk and stood in front of the map hanging on the wall and looked at it, Jianzhuang is adjacent to the mining area, it is a very important town, if it is lost, they will be constrained for a long time in the future.

"Which unit is closest to Jian Zhuang? Immediate reinforcement? ”

As soon as Fujino asked, his subordinate officer in the office immediately checked it, but the name of the team that he said made Fujino not very satisfied.

"Sir, the closest to Jian Zhuang is the railway garrison."

Fujino frowned and made a choice for a long time, Jianzhuang near the mining area is important, but the safety of the Zhengtai Railway is not important, the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong has been making trouble, and he does not dare to transfer the railway garrison casually.

"You can't move the railway garrison, call the garrison in the county to dispatch, send the Murakami brigade to support Jian Zhuang, remember to be dispatched immediately, and resolutely not give other enemy troops any chance to react!"

Quickly gave the order, Fujino picked up the battle report again, and he was going to report this matter to Yamaguchi.

……

Jian Zhuang and Squadron Leader Xiao Chuan were still stubbornly resisting Chi Zhongshun's attack. Even in the face of pressure of five times the number of people, Ogawa did not have any intention of surrendering.

In fact, to put it mildly, Chi Zhongshun's raid was not a successful raid, he originally planned to send a small group of elite troops to pull out the outer posts of the Japanese army in Jianzhuang one by one. But who would have thought that these devils were so vigilant, as soon as they destroyed the two sentry posts, the Japanese troops in Jian Zhuang reacted, and a surprise battle finally evolved into a positional war.

"Commander, those two heavy machine guns are too troublesome, and the brothers can't rush up at all!"

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Chi Zhongshun raised his binoculars and looked over, only to see that at a higher ground two hundred meters behind the Jinzhuang intersection, there were two small bunkers made of cement, and the cross fire formed by those two bunkers was enough to block their attack.

"Regiment commander, hurry up and support the artillery, that ash bunker is not afraid of guns at all!"

The battalion commander who asked for help said loudly that under the wave of charges just now, one of his platoons suffered heavy losses, which really hurt him, so he asked for help from Chi Zhongshun.

"I know, you go back to hold your position first, the little devils are all crazy, don't give them a chance to counterattack, artillery support will arrive soon."

Chi Zhongshun's worries are not unreasonable, the devils are not only advanced in weapons, and their will to fight is almost crazy, but they are also very arrogant and arrogant, and even in their concept, one Japanese soldier can beat several Chinese soldiers. Even when they are besieged, the devils dare to organize a counteroffensive against them.

Ironically, this approach of the devil can even really work in some cases, and often the devil's counterattack relies on killing and intimidation for three points, and intimidation for seven points. It is this method that can actually scare off the fighting spirit of your own soldiers, and you will be forced to break the encirclement by the devils.

In the Battle of Taiyuan, Chi Zhongshun once suffered such a loss. Shameful and courageous, he besieged Jianzhuang with five times the force today, and he had to take Jianzhuang earlier than the time specified by Du Xingbang!

"Cover the side mortar in a roundabout way, find a way to knock out those two bunkers for me! Tell the mountain artillery platoon to get ready! ”

Four mortars, under the cover of two dozen fighters, advanced separately from the flanks in order to find the best angle to blow up the bunker after coming within range. At the same time, in the rear of the position, more than 20 fighters began to assemble and debug the mountain artillery. At present, the situation is critical, especially in the Battle of Taiyuan, the losses of their Jin Sui army are not light, and there is a way that the landlord's family has no surplus grain, and Du Xingbang can only allocate him a mountain cannon before Chi Zhongshun sets off.

……

"Brigade seat, Commander Chi has sent a telegram, and the telegram says that the raid on Jinzhuang failed, and now there is a fierce exchange of fire with devils on the periphery of Jianzhuang."

In the temporary command post, listening to the reports of his subordinates, Du Xingbang's face did not have a trace of waves.

"I have long thought that with the military literacy of the little devils, it is not realistic to successfully attack them, after all, we are not as good at night attacks as the Eighth Route Army, and it is not easy to do an early morning raid.

Of course, even if the raid is not successful, Chi Zhongshun can quickly take Jianzhuang with his superiority in strength, as long as we can successfully intercept the devil reinforcements according to the deployment, the victory in this battle will belong to us. ”

Du Xingbang said confidently, and then a staff officer next to him said.

"Brigade seat, judging from the failure of this raid by Regiment Commander Chi and his previous combat experience, our army does have a certain gap with the Eighth Route Army in terms of night attack and combat capability, if we can learn the night attack tactics of the Eighth Route Army and bridge this gap, then our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."

The staff officer's suggestion obviously entered Du Xingbang's ears, but he shook his head again and said.

"If you don't draw a scoop according to the gourd, you won't be able to draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog, so don't think about stealing other people's unique skills now. As for the above board, don't even think about it if you don't speak at the peak. Although they are nominally allies, it is better not to have too much contact. It's too far to say that these are all nonsense, so let's take care of the things in front of us first. ”

……

Niu Jinzhai, 424 Regiment Headquarters.

"Lao Wang, Houlu County dispatched a large number of troops, what do you think of this matter."

There are more than 1,000 people in a brigade, and even if they turn over, they can't be small. Just after the Murakami brigade left the county seat of Lu, Yue Siliang had already received the news here, and hurriedly convened the team members to discuss.

"Commander, I don't think the devils of this brigade are coming for us. The intelligence made it clear that after the devil left the county seat, he walked from the main road in a car. This doesn't look like the road to us, I guess it's going north. ”

Wang Shuangyin sipped his cigarette and said his speculation, Yue Siliang first nodded in approval, and then looked at Huang Kebei next to him.

"Lao Huang, what do you think?"

Huang Kebei has been in the regiment headquarters for half a year, and his heart has obviously sunk a lot, and he doesn't even want to be so impatient when he speaks.

"What the deputy head of the regiment said makes sense, from the current point of view, it is more likely that the devil's destination is Lubei, but before the devil arrives at the fork in Xuzhuang, all this is still in between, let's be careful and vigilant after all."

From the deer to the well, Xuzhuang is a very important node, from where you can walk from both the south and the north of the road.

"Lao Huang is right, as soon as people raise their hands, we have to deal with it with all our strength, and it's always right to be cautious. Of course, even if the devils are really not coming at us, we have to figure out where they are going. Good guy, a big devil in a brigade, don't be the new arrival Brigade Commander Du poking any big basket. ”

Yue Siliang said with a smile, and then the whole room laughed. After laughing, Di Hanming couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Regiment Commander, I've heard you mention this Brigade Commander Du a few times. What kind of person is this? It's a pity that I went to the countryside to work that time, and I didn't see him in person. ”

As soon as Di Hanming said this, Yue Siliang immediately laughed.

"Yes, Li Jie and a few of them met that time. This Dushing Bang ...... How to say it, the first impression is that he is stubborn and self-serving, but he should also have some skills to look at his appearance. At least the two battles with the two devils are still good? ”

As soon as Yue Siliang said this, several people laughed again, and Wang Shuangyin choked on the cigarette with laughter, and explained to a few people after extinguishing the cigarette butt.

"I heard Lei Zi say, this Du Xingbang didn't give our regiment commander face at that meeting, I guess he really held a grudge, look at the evaluation that our regiment commander gave to others, he was a brigade commander, and let our regiment commander say that it was a straw bag."

When Wang Shuangyin said this, Yue Siliang also laughed.

"You old Wang, this is still arranged in front of me, I haven't said that Brigadier Du still has a stinky problem."

As soon as Yue Siliang said this, several of them joked again. But after laughing, Yue Siliang said again.

"Laughing and laughing, I don't know anything about this Brigade Commander Du, what if this Brigade Commander Du is really a straw bag?

The little devil's dispatch this time is nothing more than several possibilities: coming to us, going to the brothers' troops, and going to the Jin Sui army.

If it's really coming at us, we'll do it. If we rush at the brother troops, we will support if we can, and contain if we can. But what if you really went to the third brigade?

If this Du Xingbang is really a straw bag and let the devil scatter as soon as he pokes it, it will inevitably deal a serious blow to the anti-Japanese passion in our central Hebei region. ”

After Yue Siliang finished speaking, Di Hanming also fell into deep thought.

"Yes, there are 6,000 people in a mixed brigade, and these are all Chinese soldiers in the anti-Japanese team."

Wang Shuangyin and Huang Kebei were a little stunned when they heard the head of the regiment and the political commissar say this, they had never considered the problem like this. In the end, Yue Siliang pondered his decision.

"Now send a telegram to the brigade commander to ask, and at the same time, the comrades on our side are also taking action, and use the fastest speed to find out who is making the move, as for the devil's brigade, we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but we are also ready to add some blockage to them!"
