As Xu Rui expected, Heiji Kawaguchi, who likes to play cards out of common sense, is precisely the most suspicious, so when he found out that the independent regiment was not fortified at Shaqiao Gang, he inevitably began to be suspicious.

Heiji Kawaguchi said: "What if this is exactly where Xu Rui's plot lies?" Don't forget how Shuichi Hamura died, who knows that Xu Rui will not repeat his old trick and plant a super bomb on the Shangsha Bridge? What if we rashly move the heavy machine gun position to the Shangsha Bridge and the other side detonates the bomb? ”

Muto Akira also had several high-ranking officers who were awe-struck by this.

Yongjin Daya still persuaded him: "You can send sappers to Shangsha Bridge to check first." ”

Heiji Kawaguchi was obviously a little impatient this time, and frowned and said, "Yongjin-san, do you think the sniper will allow the sappers to check on the Shangsha Bridge?" ”

Yongjin Da was also speechless.

Yes, there are snipers of the independent regiment guarding the front, and the Japanese sappers can't go up at all, let alone check the Shangsha Bridge, and it is not sure whether a super bomb is planted under the Shangsha Bridge, and no one dares to take risks, after all, Shuichi Hamura still has the bloody lesson of the motorized infantry brigade, just yesterday!

Yongjin Da also hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Then what does Your Excellency Commander mean......"

"Wait." Heiji Kawaguchi put his saber on the ground and said in a deep voice, "The artillery wing should arrive by noon at the latest, and as soon as the artillery arrives, the snipers of the Shina Army will no longer be an obstacle." ”

"Hello." Yongjin Da also replied.

(Dividing Line)

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was frightened and did not dare to attack rashly, the battalions and companies of the independent regiment were smoothly transferred to the tunnels, and the militia of the county brigade and the various district squads also assisted the common people in the town and nearby villages to move to the tunnels.

The 1st battalion platoon was at the end of the transfer sequence, and its battalion headquarters was the last group to evacuate the Hongjia compound.

He Guangming deliberately wanted to drag it to the back for a reason, he planned to sneak to the front to see the battle situation, but when he came out of the Hong family compound with a few guards, he saw Yao Lei, Gao Chu, and Zhu Chen, three company commanders, running over from under the old locust tree not far from the front.

Obviously, Yao Lei and the three of them had the same thoughts as He Guangming, and they also wanted to take a look at the front.

"Bah, stop me!" He Guangming immediately snorted and drank Yao Lei and the others.

Yao Lei and the three of them turned around and saw that it was the battalion commander He Guangming, so they hurriedly ran over.

"Why? Sneaky. He Guangming snorted, "It's like being a thief." ”

Gao Chu and Zhu Chen didn't say anything, Yao Lei took off his military hat, scratched his shiny bald head, and said, "Yingzao, let's go ahead and see how the special operations team kills the little devils." ”

"What kind of camp seat, call the battalion commander." He Guangming immediately corrected, "Now that we are also the Communist Party, our Communist Party team does not have the same system as the old army, and pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, so don't call me the battalion seat in the future, please call me directly the position, battalion commander, and battalion commander." ”

"Yes, Camp." Yao Lei snapped upright, and shouted the camp seat again.

"You rabbit cub, why don't you listen?" He Guangming slapped Yao Leiwa Liang on the head, and then asked, "Have the troops been transferred?" ”

"All of them have been transferred, and they are all hiding in the tunnels as groundhogs." Yao Lei stomped on the ground with his foot, and said proudly, "Don't say it, the Communist Party has a way to do things, and it only took a long time to dig out an underground palace, and I suspect that they have hollowed out the entire underground of Meizhen." ”

"What kind of Communist Party?" He Guangming slapped Yao Lei on the head again, and said, "Now, we are also the Communist Party, you have to say that we are the Communist Party, do you hear?" ”

"I hear you." Yao Lei said flatteringly, "It's our Communist Party." ”

He Guangming snorted and said, "Let's go, let's go to the front and take a look." ”

"Okay." Yao Lei, Gao Chu and Zhu Chen agreed and hurriedly followed.

He Guangming and the three didn't go too far, but found a hiding place near the entrance to hide, but they happened to see the scene of the special operations detachment sniping the devil infantry squad just now.

An entire infantry squad of devil soldiers knocked down all four snipers.

What is even more relieving is that the little devil has obviously suffered a big loss, but he has no way to return the field.

Such a scene is rare, at least not in the memory of their Northwest Army.

"Donkey day, these guys from the special operations team are really good." Yao Lei scratched his bald head and whispered, "Four or five hundred meters away, without aiming, just raise your hand!" This marksmanship, tsk, if our 1st company can have a few such sharpshooters, that combat effectiveness, tsk, think about it makes people look forward to it. ”

"What surprised me even more was that the regiment commander expected the enemy to take the lead." Gao Chu said, "All the actions of the devil are discussed with the regiment commander, as if they are in a drill, the regiment commander asked the devil to send a small group of troops to feint, and the devil really sent a small group of troops to feint, and the regiment commander made the devil suspicious, and the devil really began to be suspicious, and there has been no movement for two hours." ”

Zhu Chen was more concerned about another question, and asked in a low voice at the moment: "Yingzuo, there are still a few brothers, what do you say this anti-sweep will be?" Can we win? ”

"Can we win? It depends on what your definition of winning is. Yao Lei said, "I think the best result is nothing more than to use the tunnel to clear the walls of the devils, not give them food and drink, and force the devils to return in vain, even if they win, but if they want to hit the Kawaguchi detachment, it is impossible." ”

"That's not for sure." Gao Chu said, "Didn't the regiment commander completely annihilate a detachment of devils in Nantong?" At that time, the strength of his troops was even less than 500 people, and they were all remnants, and now the devil is only a detachment, but our independent regiment has more than 1,000 people, and the soldiers are strong, how do you know that the miracle will not be repeated? ”

"You listen to them blowing nonsense there, I don't believe it anyway." Yao Lei said abruptly, "Less than five hundred people, or remnants, actually annihilated a well-equipped detachment of devils?" By whom? Who are you coaxing? ”

"This shouldn't be blind, right?" Zhu Chen said stunned, "It seems to have been in the newspaper." ”

"What can you do if you get in the newspapers, it's not all about propaganda." Yao Lei paused when he said this, and then said, "Let me tell you, the Taierzhuang victory actually killed less than 10,000 devils, that is, plus the previous series of blockades in Tengxian, Zaozhuang, and Linyi, a total of more than 20,000 devils were killed and injured, but the national government dared to boast that more than 20,000 devils were eliminated in Taierzhuang alone, and a total of 50,000 devils were eliminated in the entire battle. But these are indeed fake, not true. ”

Gao Chu said: "Little demon, where did you get this gossip?" ”

"What grapevine?" Yao Lei said proudly, "To tell you the truth, I have a relative who is an operational staff officer in the Theater Commander's Department, didn't the Theater Commander's Department send a liaison group to our base two days ago?" My relative is inside, and he told me these numbers himself, so can there be any fakes? ”

Gao Chu was immediately dumbfounded, two days ago, the Commander's Department of the Fifth Theater did send a liaison group over, the intention was nothing more than to determine the command authority of the theater, hoping that the Dameishan Independent Regiment could cooperate with the **** main force of the Fifth Theater to fight the Battle of Xuzhou, but in the end, there seemed to be no result, Xu Rui should have refused.

This is also the consistent guiding principle of the Communist Party, which adheres to the independent War of Resistance.

Although the "Comintern Returnees" represented by Wang Ming advocated that the Communist Party troops should unconditionally accept the unified command of the Nationalist Government, this view did not achieve a dominant position within the Party, and the Party Central Committee headed by Comrade ****** still adhered to its principles and did not succumb to the pressure of the Comintern.

Zhu Chen said: "According to what you say, the regiment commander's detachment of all devils in Nantong is also fake?" ”

"I don't believe it anyway." When Yao Lei said this, he also felt that he was too arbitrary, so he went on to explain, "Unless I can completely annihilate the Kawaguchi detachment this time, then I will believe it." ”

He Guangming suddenly turned his head, knocked on Yao Lei's head, and scolded: "Believe it or not, do you think the head of the regiment will care?" Will he still be reluctant to approve of you? ”

Yao Lei's level was not enough to attend the meeting in the early hours of this morning, but He Guangming participated, and he also heard Xu Rui say with his own ears that he wanted to leave the Jichuan detachment in Meizhen, to be honest, He Guangming didn't quite believe that Xu Rui could do it, but He Guangming's intuition told him that Xu Rui was definitely not talking casually.

In the final analysis, Xu Rui's past achievements are there.

The battle of Nantong is exaggerated, even if there is no total annihilation of the Chongteng detachment, but no one can deny the heavy damage to the Chongteng detachment, however, even if it is only the Chongteng detachment, it is already scary enough, and the remnants of a battalion have severely damaged a well-equipped full-fledged detachment of devils, how can it be a fluke?

At that moment, He Guangming scolded again: "In the future, don't say strange things about the head of the regiment behind your back." ”

Yao Lei touched his bald head and said, "Yingzuo, that's what I said." ”

"Alright, hurry down the tunnel and be a groundhog." He Guangming turned around and left after speaking.

Although the tunnel network of the entire Dameishan base area has taken shape, at least there is no problem in dispersing tens of thousands of ordinary people in the hidden base area, but no one will think that the tunnel is too long and too wide, right? Therefore, while there are no combat missions for the time being, it is reasonable to mobilize troops and young and strong laborers to continue to widen and lengthen the tunnels.

Yao Lei and the three of them followed behind He Guangming's buttocks, anyway, there was no excitement to see here in Shaqiaogang, since the first tentative attack was frustrated, the little devil stopped cooking.
