Chapter Ninety-Nine: Raid
"Commissar, commissar! Oh no! ”
Di Hanming was seriously working at his desk, and in a little while, he would be able to complete the report in his hand, and then he would be able to bind it into a book of work summaries and submit it to the political commissar of the brigade headquarters.
Just as he was choosing his words and contemplating the final paragraph. There was a panicked sound outside the door.
"What's wrong, what's wrong! What is the noise? ”
Di Hanming's voice was very loud, he put the unfinished report in the book, and strode out of the room.
When he saw that the person who shouted was Director Sun, Di Hanming's brows furrowed at that time. Director Sun has always been steady and able to suppress it, how can he shout today.
"Political commissar, the propaganda team we sent to Beijintai has been killed!"
"Slow down, what the hell is going on?!"
Di Hanming has seen a lot of winds and waves over the years, and although he heard such news at this time, he still has to be more stable. Raising his hand, Sun Gan signaled not to be in a hurry beforehand.
"That's right, commissar. Today, our propaganda and resistance team went to Beijintai to carry out work, and I took a few comrades to meet in Hedonggou.
As a result, I was suddenly attacked by the devils, and I don't know why, the devils of less than a squad suddenly arrived in a truck, and they were armed with machine guns, and I and the comrades who answered did not react.
By the time we arrived at Beijintai, it had already been occupied by little devils! And the little devils have no intention of leaving after occupying Beijintai, and when the truck drives away, those devils have already built fortifications! ”
Listening to Director Sun's description, Di Hanming's face also changed.
Beijintai is a village less than 10 kilometers west of Cangyan Mountain, where the main road and river bend are guarded, and the village is relatively wealthy.
The Hedonggou is a little more than a kilometer north of Beijintai, and the Xuankang team goes to carry out the work, and Director Sun and they can be regarded as monitoring the situation on the road to Beijintai in Hedonggou, playing a role of receiving and alerting.
Di Hanming knew all these things, and more than a month ago, after gaining an in-depth understanding of the situation in the area of Cangyan Mountain, he discussed with Yue Siliang and planned to go out of the mountains to carry out work.
In the past month or so, through the efforts of Di Hanming and the cadres, considerable achievements have been made.
First of all, some communication channels have been excavated in several villages and towns around Cangyan Mountain, and there is a relatively stable source of food and other materials.
Of course, the most valuable achievement was to win some mass base, and it was precisely because of this that Di Hanming decided to expand the scope of work again.
However, what he didn't expect was that today was just the first day of the expansion work, and he would suffer such a setback!
And Di Hanming has a hunch that this setback may not be accidental.
The devil dispatched a truck to attack Beijintai, clearly wanting to fight fast and slow, without leaving time to react, it is obvious that the enemy's target is the Xuananti team!
It was a premeditated raid!
Thinking of this, Di Hanming was shocked. I'm afraid that the little devil finally made a move, their first punch hit the Xuankang team, and they also put on a permanent posture in Beijintai, the little devil definitely has a backhand!
"I'll go to the head of the regiment to discuss."
Di Hanming comforted Secretary Sun a few words, and as he spoke, he was about to walk towards Yue Siliang's house. As soon as his legs opened, he saw Yue Siliang walking towards him.
"Commander."
The two sides nodded, and Yue Siliang rubbed his eyebrows and said.
"I already know the thing, several of our comrades encountered devils in Beijintai. I'm afraid that this group of devils is not good, they shouldn't be the devils of Lunan County. ”
Seeing that Yue Siliang was clear about the situation, Di Hanming also went straight to the point.
"Commander, what is the intention of this action of the devil? Provocation against our regiment? ”
"I'm afraid not."
Yue Siliang shook his head and said.
"This time, the movement of the devil is not small, and Li Jie in Jianshan has sent news. The devils are not just targeting Beijintai. In the northern part of Lunan County, several major villages and towns along the highway have devils stationed, and these devils have several things in common. That is, small numbers, heavy firepower, and high mobility. The sudden change frightened Li Jie, and the third battalion did not dare to react rashly, but reported the information. ”
Jianshan, more than 20 kilometers northwest of Cangyan Mountain, Li Jie of the third battalion and his troops are stationed here. The geographical location of Jianshan is very important, and it can be said that it is the nerve endings of the regimental headquarters of Cangyan Mountain, guarding at the intersection of many roads to understand the enemy's movements. This kind of task is indeed to arrange a person like Li Jie who is flexible, shrewd and capable.
The two walked into the regiment headquarters, and Yue Siliang marked the movements of the Japanese army on the map to Di Hanming. Looking at the dozen or so villages marked on the north of Lunan County, all of these villages are located along the kilometer. More than a dozen red dots are connected to each other, like a grid covering the north and south of Lunan County.
"The enemy is squeezing our living space!"
Di Hanming was very sensitive, and immediately realized what the Japanese army was doing.
"Yes, that's what the devil is going to do. And I have a hunch that the enemy's target is by no means just our regiment. Since the Fifth Division left Shanxi, it has been the most frequent use of troops by the devils recently. Nearly a few thousand devils were transferred before and after. There has been such a big movement, and the purpose of the devil will never be just a corner of our Lunan County. ”
As soon as Yue Siliang said this, Di Hanming also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Could it be...... The enemy's target is our entire Jizhong?! ”
"I hope my guess is wrong, let's get in touch with the brigade first."
……
Won Lu County, the headquarters of the Japanese army.
Fujino, who was the chief official here, stood cautiously to the side and looked at the person who was sitting in his seat: Sasaki Shiroku.
When he learned that the next governor in charge of the affairs of Jizhong was this person, a ridiculous thought rose in Fujino's heart. Although he was not part of the Fifth Division, he had heard of Sasaki's defeat in the northeastern part of Jin.
But what he didn't expect was that Sasaki arrived here. The state of display made him tremble, and he first quickly took over the entire headquarters with vigorous and resolute means, and then suppressed several officers who did not obey his discipline.
After giving the officers stationed in Ji a big dismount, Sasaki let them see that he was not the rumored firewood officer. The Sasaki Wing is worthy of being the elite unit of the Steel Division, and after being reorganized and strengthened, the two infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade, and two supplementary artillery squadrons show a military appearance that Fujino was excited after reading it.
It can be said that although Fujino doesn't like this bad character commander in his heart now, he already thinks that Sasaki will definitely be able to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong.
Since he was able to establish meritorious deeds and get benefits, Fujino simply chose to stay under Sasaki honestly for the time being, not to provoke the anger of the moment, of course, in his heart, he knew whose orders he should follow.
"Wing Commander, the soldiers of Beijintai Village have been deployed, and it has been reported from Beijintai that all the Eighth Route Army operating there has been eliminated. Up to now, our deployment in Houlu, Pingshan, Lunan, Lubei, and Yuanshi has all been completed, and we are waiting for your orders. ”
Fujino looked at the folder in his hand and read the words on it meticulously.
Sasaki seemed to close his eyes and quietly listened to Fujino's report. There was still some surprise in my heart. Before he came to Taklu, he had learned about the garrison of Taklu, but all he heard were some bad rumors: Fujino, the warden of Takelu County, was an idiot who knew how to mess around.
At that time, Sasaki was still thinking in his heart: Brother Childe's subordinates are really stupid.
But after coming here, Sasaki found out that it was fundamentally different from the rumors, and that Fujino may have all kinds of careful thoughts, but he is definitely not a fool. On the contrary, Fujino has a strong ability in the execution of specific affairs, which makes Sasaki can't help but think deeply, whether the boy brother who he has always looked down on before is also hiding clumsy.
With these thoughts in his stomach, Sasaki straightened the military hat on his head. Bypassed the desk and stood in front of a huge sand table.
This is a huge sand table five meters long and three meters wide, and the terrain depicted on the sand table is the terrain of the entire Jizhong area. On the sand table, small flags are planted in small villages dotted on the sand table. These villages are connected into grids, more like a chessboard than a grid!
"Hehe, my chessboard has been set, and now I'm waiting for you to come and land."
In Sasaki Shiroku's heart, perhaps the real opponent is only Yue Siliang. In the breakthrough battle of Lingqiu, Sasaki's most direct opponent was Yue Siliang. In that battle, the game between the two ended up in a draw. And today's layout of Sasaki in Jizhong is the second game of chess between him and Yue Siliang.
……
In Mengjiadian Village, a fierce battle is unfolding.
"Company commander, the firepower of this group of devils is too fierce!"
A small squad leader of the Eighth Route Army said with a crying voice that this was the third attack they had organized, and as a result, the losses of this attack were even greater than the losses of the previous two attacks combined!
The company commander of the Eighth Route Army was full of indignation, there were more than 200 people in their company, and they were blocked from the fortifications by the twenty devils on the opposite side! And their company has now lost more than thirty people!
"No! Gotta take it down for me! If I can't beat one out of ten, I'll lose face! ”
The company commander roared angrily and said that he had not been able to take it for a long time when he attacked with ten times the number of troops, and this kind of battle had never been fought before. In a hurry, the company commander urged the soldiers of the whole company to launch a general attack on the devils in the center of Mengjiadian Village!
