Chapter 1181: Explosives Planted Two Years Ahead of Time

Just when Zhang Ruhao led all the 150 red soldiers armed with submachine guns and short-range firearms hidden in the trucks and two independent regimental infantry companies equipped with pure Japanese equipment to pass through the first line of defense of the Japanese army and continue to advance towards the 26th Artillery Wing of the Japanese army, 60 kilometers away, a huge convoy of 130 large trucks and 80 three-jumpers had arrived at a position ten miles away from the Shimen City Gate.

There, Liu Lang met Yu Xiancheng, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

Yu Xiancheng, who had personally led the Third Special Squad of Lushan East to infiltrate Shimen City for four or five days, brought the city defense map of Shimen City and the deployment of the 20th Division.

Because the Japanese army was very strict in detecting the radio signals in the city, Yu Xiancheng, who had entered Shimen City four days ago, turned off the field radio station he was carrying, and even came to the designated place to report such important information to Liu Lang in person. He had been waiting in this mountain all night, until he saw the unique communication signal sent by Niu Er, who followed Liu Lang, to the special operations team.

This can make Brigade Commander Chen of the 343rd Brigade, who just got out of the car and hurriedly ran over, very excited.

An infantry regiment and an elite infantry battalion of an independent regiment ran 60 kilometers for more than four hours to counterattack Shimen.

You must know that Shimen is not only the headquarters of the 20th Division, but also the logistics base of the entire Western Front Corps of the Japanese Northern Dispatch Army, with a total strength of more than 50,000 people, and the defense of such an important base as Shimen is by no means too bad.

Even if the 20th Division has exhausted its elite infantry, as long as the 108th and 109th Special Divisions and Regiments retain one infantry wing, this battle will be difficult to fight. Even with a surprise attack, the casualties must have been unacceptably heavy.

To a certain extent, this reconnaissance information is completely worthy of the role of an infantry regiment.

"The Japanese troops stationed in Shimen City are: a field hospital, more than 300 medical non-combatants; one engineer wing with more than 660 personnel; two baggage squadrons with more than 1,000 personnel; one guard infantry squadron at the division and regiment headquarters, with more than 200 personnel; The division headquarters includes more than 250 people, and the communication brigade has a total of about 330 people, with a total number of about 2,500 people. After reading Yu Xiancheng's information on the strength of the Japanese army in a soft voice, Brigade Commander Chen not only smiled like a flower on his face, but also took the initiative to shake Yu Xiancheng's hand and shook it again and again: "Captain Yu, this information of yours is so useful, I finally put one of my old Chen's hearts in my stomach completely." ”

It was no wonder that Brigade Commander Chen was so pleased, the strength of the Japanese army was really much weaker than he expected. However, the Japanese army of more than 2,500 people, not to mention the more than 500 non-combatants, the engineer wing and the baggage squadron are the second-line soldiers of the Japanese army, and in the opinion of Brigade Commander Chen, the only one with some combat effectiveness is only the No. 200 people of a garrison squadron.

And what he and Liu Lang led was the most elite Chinese army in the entire Jindong. Brigade Commander Chen, who was already equipped with a large number of Japanese-style light and heavy machine guns and artillery, was already a very modest idea, otherwise, he would dare to say that he was the most elite army in the whole of China.

This is not arrogance, but self-confidence that has been fought on the battlefield for several years.

"Hehe, Brigade Commander Chen, you're laughing early, wait a minute! There is something to be happy with you. Liu Lang chuckled.

It seems that he has discovered a little bit of mystery from the deployment of the Japanese army, if his intuition is correct.

"Hehe, two commanders, it's not so difficult to get the head of the old devil Kawagishi Bunzaburo, these days Lao Lu and a few of them are lurking in the attic of the restaurant five hundred meters away from the headquarters of the Japanese division, and there are at least three chances to blow up the old devil's dog head with one shot, but I didn't agree." The older he gets, the more calm he becomes, and he rarely smokes cigarettes, but at this time, he pretended to be coaxed, and when Brigade Commander Chen had a toothache, he said: "However, two chiefs, it's not that we are afraid of death if we don't let them kill Kawagishi Bunzaburo, but that I have discovered something more important, something much more important than the old devil's head." ”

"What could be more important than the head of the old devil Bunzaburo Kawagishi?" The red general was a little curious.

"Let me guess." Liu Lang smiled slightly, "Isn't it that all the baggage of the Little Devil Western Front Legion is in Shimen?" ”

"Sir, you cow." Yu Xiancheng smiled and stretched out a thumbs up to Liu Lang, "That's true, the Japanese army's train has been carrying a large amount of baggage from Beiping for several days, and it is still hoarded in Shimen. ”

"The baggage of the Japanese Army on the Western Front? Hiss~~~" The red general gasped and was stunned.

He was completely stunned by the sudden fall of this big pie from the sky. Jingcheng County is only a part of the 20th Division, and the baggage is enough for the entire 129th Division, which is almost the baggage of two and a half divisions, so you can't blow up your belly!

"Yes, according to the observation of the inner line among the porters in the past few days, the baggage of the 20th Division has been transported to Jingcheng County, and the warehouses belonging to the 20th Division are basically nothing. However, the logistics and baggage bases of the 108th and 109th divisions are also located in Shimen, and the two baggage squadrons are not subordinate to the 20th Division, but to the 108th and 109th Divisions respectively. Yu Xiancheng may indeed be in a hurry, but he said witty things at this time.

"Haha, Brother Yu, don't feel distressed now, the deputy commander-in-chief and I are here to help the little devil move supplies, but it's to my Shanxi." The red general couldn't help but laugh out loud with joy.

Quietly, even Liu Lang's title was changed from head Liu to deputy commander-in-chief.

Obviously, at this moment, he was completely convinced of Liu Lang. The use of soldiers has reached this point, and it is no longer something that can be described by using soldiers like gods.

"Deputy commander-in-chief, you give the order! With the full assistance of the artillery, I promise that within thirty minutes we will be able to storm the city. After laughing, the red general took the initiative to ask for an order.

"Okay, Brigade Commander Chen, I'll wait for your words." Liu Lang's face also became solemn, "The four gates of Shimen, the three gates of the east, west and south are each defended by a brigade of more than 200 people of the Japanese engineering wing, you personally led the 686 regiment to storm the east gate, the artillery battalion will have four mortars and two infantry guns transferred to your use, after entering the city, in addition to sending an infantry battalion to quickly outflank the west gate to prevent the Japanese from escaping, the remaining two infantry battalions are fully committed to the area of its baggage warehouse, and the 343 brigade guard company is ambushed three miles outside the north gate to establish a blocking position, strengthening two light and heavy machine guns and two mortars, Be sure not to let the devil rout escape alone. I led the bayonet battalion to attack the south gate, and after breaking the city, I broke through to the direction of the Japanese division and regimental headquarters, and when the time came, you and I will compare and see whether you will capture the Japanese baggage warehouse first, or I will get the head of the old devil Kawagishi Bunzaburo first. ”

"Haha, okay, that's it, whoever loses, will be invited to drink." The red general laughed, turned and left the assembled troops.

Seeing the back of this neat red brigade commander who had only seen one side but had a good impression of it and disappeared into the darkness, Yu Xiancheng couldn't help but quietly laugh, "Tuanzao, you are a little unauthentic!" I'm going to have to eat this drink. ”

Langtuanza also bared his teeth: "Xiancheng, is the south gate ready?" ”

"Well, I contacted the inner line of the city, and he took the opportunity to repair the city wall and buried 100 kilograms of explosives into it, but I don't know if the explosives can be exploded after two years." Yu Xiancheng nodded and replied with a somewhat strange face.

If Brigade Commander Chen is still imagining Liu Lang with soldiers, then Yu Xiancheng and others, who are extremely close to Liu Lang and know Liu Lang's arrangement, use unpredictable words to describe Liu Tuanzuo.

As the curtain of war was opened little by little, Liu Lang appeared in front of them little by little in the past five years. And as it turned out, that vision was not ordinarily unique.

In the past five years, the most important function of the Huashang Group is not only to become the money bag of the independent regiment and provide sufficient funds for the independent regiment's firepower equipment far exceeding that of other troops, but also to become the independent regiment's spy system throughout China. From the north to the southeast and even in the south, where Yu Xiancheng did not know, there were hidden agents of the Chinese business group in almost every important military place.

They, either wealthy merchants or peddlers, may be less than enough to see elsewhere, but in the city where they live, they are absolutely familiar with every corner.

Take the wealthy businessman who connected with Yu Xiancheng as an example, he took over the city defense renovation project of Shimen, a military town, three years ago, and he is definitely the top three richest people in Shimen, and he is also a member of the Chinese Business Group. He not only provided Yu Xiancheng with a hiding place that the Japanese army had no way of knowing, but also told Yu Xiancheng a secret, as early as two years ago, he was ordered by his boss to plant a large amount of explosives under the foundation of the south gate city wall, as long as it was aimed at that point and bombarded with artillery, it would cause a big explosion.

The moment he heard this secret, even Yu Xiancheng, who knew that Liu Tuanzuo had been preparing for this war for five years, couldn't help but be "frightened", Liu Lang knew a few years ago that he would definitely fight in Shimen?

If so, it is not an exaggeration to describe Liu Bowen who "knew 500 years before and 500 years later"!

The city wall of the south gate, with this arrangement in advance, don't look at the thickness of the high wall of the city, it may not be able to support three artillery, even if Brigade Commander Chen is a regiment attacking, the speed is definitely not as good as a battalion of the independent regiment, that meal, please decide.

Of course Yu Xiancheng didn't know that the fat man in front of him, who had already admired him to the point of throwing himself to the ground, definitely did not have the ability to know for 500 years, but he had the awesome sparkle of 85 years of knowledge. Even how he, the fat future master, beat up his future disciples, he knew it.

This is the biggest advantage of the little butterfly that comes through time and space! Although I don't have the ability to kick the wheel of history in one kick, if I don't make some small arrangements in advance in the place where I may fight, let myself take advantage of it, and the fat butterfly's head will not fly!

Not only did he arrange spies in major strategic places, but he also stockpiled a large amount of arms and food, and wherever he went, the fat man could pull up a team alone, and the overseas branches of the Chinese Commercial Group continued to earn dollars from the American continent and then flowed into China through Huamei Company, which was not piled up somewhere.

Nearly 150,000 employees of China Commercial Group, five years is enough to spread all corners of China.

On the surface, the business empire that only shows the tip of the iceberg is actually not inferior to the espionage organization under the leadership of the military commander Dai Boss. However, their focus was mainly on all Japanese, and for the national government, it was more about defense and self-preservation.
