Looking at the barracks of the River Defense Brigade that had become like ruins, the first little devil reinforcement unit to arrive, felt that the scene in front of him was very unbelievable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn their opinion, this kind of battle scene seems to be too tragic.

What made it even more difficult for the little devils to come to their aid was that after some cleaning and searching, the little devils found that the entire barracks of the river defense brigade had been ransacked. Even the wires that were erected were cleaned by the Eighth Route Army.

As for the little devils who were killed, in addition to the incomplete corpses, there were also broken clothes wrapping, and the corpses of many little devils who left the whole corpse had been frozen and stiffened, and the scene looked extremely cruel and bloody.

Many little devils who collect corpses have a anger that cannot be vented. But what frightened the leading officer even more was that the ships of the river defense brigade were gone. This means that the troops who raided the river defense brigade last night were afraid that it was not simple.

'Damn it! There is a high probability that our ship has been hijacked by the other side, and the situation should be reported to the garrison command immediately. The river defense forces must be informed of this news so that they can find a way to find out the stolen ships. ’

The leader of the Japanese squadron who led the team was very clear about the role of the river defense brigade stationed here. Now that the ships of the River Defense Brigade have fallen into the hands of the anti-Japanese forces, God knows what will happen to this lake area in the future.

When the Japanese squadron leader began to report the situation to Zaozhuang, he learned that the river defense brigade was completely annihilated, and even the ships might be robbed by the enemy. The brigade commander, Matsuyama Hiroyoshi, really realized that this matter was very troublesome.

At present, the Xinpu Railway has been interrupted, and many of the materials transported by the Japanese army to the south can only be transshipped through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. If even this route is blocked, then the north-south communication line that the Japanese army has managed to open up will also be interrupted.

Realizing the seriousness of this kind of matter, Matsuyama Hiroyoshi immediately said: "Send a telegram to the river defense brigade in Jining to inform the Zaozhuang river defense brigade of the seizure of the ship. At the same time, send a telegram to the division commander and ask the Air Force for tactical guidance! ”

Even if you know that the weather is not suitable for the Air Force to take to the skies for combat. But Matsuyama Hiroyoshi couldn't wait, hoping to find the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible through air force reconnaissance, and then encircle and annihilate it as quickly as possible.

As Matsuyama Hiroyoshi reported the situation, Kimura Hyotaro, the commander of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Jining, also said in disbelief: "Has the Eighth Route Armed Forces in Zaozhuang been rampant to this extent?" ”

In Kimura Hyotaro's view, the only armed forces in the Chinese War of Resistance that deserve the attention of the Japanese army today are the Zhongyan Army, which is not weak in strength and strength. As for the Eighth Route Army, which was reorganized from the Red Army, it was not worth fighting in the eyes of many Japanese generals.

But the current bad situation in Zaozhuang made Kimura Hyotaro realize that if he didn't annihilate this group of wandering Eighth Route Army as soon as possible. Then they want to ensure the stability of Zaozhuang, but I'm afraid it's really unlikely.

In contrast, Kimura Hyotaro promised to send an air force reconnaissance plane to Zaozhuang to search for the hiding place of the Eighth Route Army. The Jining River Defense Wing, which learned the news, also looked furious and immediately dispatched a number of ships to search.

In addition, they also need to transfer troops to reorganize the Zaozhuang River Defense Force. As for the lost ships, the wing commander of the river defense unit also instructed that they must find a way to recover them.

After all, if these ships are rebuilt, they are not cheap either. The most important thing is that if these ships are not found, no one can guarantee that these ships will raid the Japanese convoy passing through the canal that day.

He was a little angry with the little devil, and he did not hesitate to start sending the air force to search for his whereabouts, after Zhao Tiehu ended the campaign of attacking the river defense brigade. But instead of letting the troops rest, they chose to fight continuously.

After eating a hot meal and hot dishes, seeing that the ship captured from the river defense brigade successfully drove into the river cave, Zhao Tiehu was also very pleased and said: "This place is very good, it seems that this matter is handed over to Lao Yu, you really found the right person!" ”

'That's it! I grew up in the Lake District and am familiar with the terrain. It's just that now the ship is coming in. But it's still not safe, I think the little devil may send a ship to follow and search! ’

In order to drive all the captured ships into the water cave, Yu Zhenghe organized a number of fishing boats to break the surface of the lake that was originally covered with thin ice. This allowed the ships to enter, but it also created a broken waterway.

If the little devil sends a ship to search, it is estimated that it is very likely to find this broken lake. In this way, as long as the little devil sends a patrol boat to search downstream, it is estimated that the water cave where the ship is hiding can also be found.

Facing Yu Zhenghe's worries, Zhao Tiehu thought for a while and said: "Okay, your worries are very reasonable, give me a little time, I'll make you something good, wait for you to let people spread it into the river, as long as the little devil dares to come, there will definitely be fun!" ”

On the way over before, Zhao Tiehu also took a look at this inland river that was not spacious. Now when the water level is full, gunboats with large tonnage are still no problem, but I am afraid that they will not work in the dry season.

But similar to small patrol boats and fishing boats, there is no problem with the passage. This also means that the captured ships can inform the river, so the search ships sent by the little devils are also likely to enter the river to carry out a search.

Zhao Tiehu, who quickly thought of a way, brought people to the guerrilla base and asked Yu Zhenghe to find a lot of things and explosives. After a bit of skillful crafting, a few simple mines were made.

Looking at these simple mines made of iron buckets, Zhao Tiehu said with a smile: "Although it looks a little ugly, the power should be good." Lao Yu, wait for someone to put these iron lumps into the river, which should be able to prevent the little devil's boat from entering the river. ”

'Detachment leader, can this thing really stop the little devil's boat?' ’

'Of course! Mines, you've probably heard of them, right? Although this mine is a little ugly, it should not be bad. The materials are limited, so I can only make these few first. Wait a minute, pick a few fishing boats and put the mines in the middle of the river.

In addition, put two at the mouth of the river, and as long as the little devil's boat dares to come in, it will be blown up and sunk. There is just one thing you should also pay attention to, you must remember the place where you put it, and if it is not detonated, you must take it back. ’

By making these simple mines, Zhao Tiehu also realized that in the future, the Weishan Lake guerrillas could also be equipped with a sharp weapon. This sharp weapon is a mine, and from time to time put a few in the river, it is estimated that the little devil will also have a headache.

Thinking of the tunnel warfare he had seen in his previous life, Zhao Tiehu felt that maybe on the side of Weishan Lake, he could engage in a mine warfare. As long as there are enough mines, Zhao Tiehu can completely paralyze the little devil's waterway.

After informing Yu Zhenghe of the method of arranging the mines, Yu Zhenghe, who knew that these iron bumps were extraordinary, was also very careful, and personally drove the boat to lead people to bury the mines at the entrance of the central river and tributaries.

After everything was arranged, Zhao Tiehu asked Yu Zhenghe to keep an eye on the river, and then send someone to inform him if there was any situation. After the wounded and supplies were properly placed, the reconnaissance unit sent earlier also sent the information that Zhao Tiehu wanted.

'The little devil is there in the river defense camp?' ’

'Yes, the first to arrive was a squadron of little devils from Weishan Town. Not long after the little devil squadron arrived, more than 500 little devils reinforced by Lincheng also arrived, and now it has been completely sealed off! ’

'Okay! Let's do it too! Let the fighters change their costumes and get ready to go! ’

'Yes, Captain! ’

With the remaining fighters of the commando, they began to change into the costumes of the little devils according to Zhao Tiehu's request. A team of more than 200 people began to swagger towards Weishan Town.

On the way to Weishan Town, Chen Wan, who was in charge of radio liaison, suddenly stepped forward and said: "Detachment leader, I just received a telegram from the third detachment, the little devil stationed in Zaozhuang has sent an infantry brigade to Weishan. ”

Zhao Tiehu, who heard the news, was stunned, but sneered: "The little devil really looks up to me, and so many troops were dispatched at once. Okay, come on! The more the better, I'm afraid that the little devils won't come enough!

Order the troops, speed up and run forward, I'm going to Weishan Town for dinner. They wanted to surround me, but Lao Tzu led his troops to raid his lair. Send a telegram to Zhu Zixi, asking him to send a small detachment with two cannons to shell Lincheng tonight! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

Chen Wan is completely used to Zhao Tiehu's foul words like 'Lao Tzu' at every turn. In the eyes of many people, Zhao Tiehu may seem a little rude, but Chen Wan knows that this rude detachment leader is not simple.

Zhao Tiehu is also very familiar with something like a radio station. If you are not the leader of the detachment, you need to command the troops to fight. Let Zhao Tiehu be a newspaper operator, I believe there is no problem at all.

After receiving a telegram from Zhao Tiehu, Zhu Zixi, who was resting in the mountains and seizing time to train new soldiers, quickly dispatched an artillery detachment and secretly went down the mountain in the evening to sneak into the vicinity of Lincheng.

The purpose of this is also very simple, that is, to attract the attention of the Japanese army by shelling Lincheng, and make the little devils in Lincheng nervous. After all, in order to support Weishan's river defense brigade, Lincheng also sent a large number of troops to reinforce it.

Now that the reinforcements have not returned, and the sound of shelling suddenly comes from outside the city, what will the little devils stationed in the county town think? After all, these Eighth Route Army, but even the strong Zaozhuang has been beaten, let alone a small Lincheng?

As Zhao Tiehu expected, the infantry brigade sent from Zaozhuang had just left Lincheng. Before he arrived at Weishan, he suddenly received a telegram from the garrison headquarters, informing him that Lincheng had been attacked, and ordering him to quickly return to the division for reinforcements.

The continuous night road itself made the troops very tired. Now that they were about to turn back, the Japanese brigade that had been ordered to reinforce was undoubtedly very angry. But no matter how angry it is, it's useless, the order has been given from above, do they dare to disobey?

It's just that no one expected that not long after the garrison of the city sent a telegram asking for help, the artillery outside the city suddenly stopped. The defending troops who were waiting on the city wall, until the infantry brigade returned to the city, still did not see any shadow of the Eighth Route Army attacking the city.

This means that after tossing back and forth, the little devils soon found that the so-called siege was just a trick of the Eighth Route Army, and they wanted to come this time to run in vain!
