Chapter Eighty-Seven: Revenge Doesn't Happen Overnight
Political Commissar Ai Chunan said in a deep voice: "Division Commander, you really plan to take revenge on the Japanese devils immediately, aren't you afraid that this is their trap?" ”
Wang Lung glanced at Yun Jian and said: "Don't think about it, I know that this is definitely not the improvised intention of the little devil, and the raid on Shenmu County and Fugu County under our jurisdiction in five places at once is definitely organized and premeditated, and now the little devil must have carried out heavy troops around Yulin and Shenmu County, waiting for us to collide." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"If you know, why are you still here?"
Before the political commissar Ai Chunan finished speaking, Wang Lung interrupted him and said: "Blood debt and blood repayment, since the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka has made a move, then we can't help but pay it back." Now Yulin is the only threat to us and the headquarters, and we can't run away after the fight as before, I analyze the meaning of the headquarters to let us go south is to join up with the headquarters to fight the devils around the base area, so as to ensure the safety of the base area, and expand the territory of the base area, so this time we can't run away with a shot, if we run, then the people of Shenmu County and Fugu County are afraid to suffer, just look at the action of the devils this time, we can't escape, And there is also responsibility for these people who are suffering. Now that the Japanese devils have carried out inhumane massacres against the common people of Fugu County and Shenmu County in our jurisdiction, then of course we have to give an explanation to the people. We have to let them know that our 88th Division of the Eighth Route Army is not here to fight soy sauce, and if anyone dares to violate them, we will call the shots for them, and this is the style of our 88th Division. ”
Then Wang Lung continued: "How can we win the trust and support of the people in the Eighth Route Army, it is not enough to win the battle, but to let the people see the tangible benefits. If because of our appearance, the Japanese devils continue to be angry with the people, and we turn a blind eye, I think soon we will be regarded as tigers and wolves by the people, and we will not be able to avoid them, then how will we make the people believe in us in the future, and what are we, we are soldiers, we are soldiers who defend our homeland and defend the country, you see, ah, what have these little devils done, invaded our country, killed our people, if we still have to sit idly by, then are we still soldiers? . ”
Listening to Wang Lung's words, the political commissars were a little excited, yes, we are soldiers, what are soldiers for, soldiers are to protect their families and defend the country, if this is not done well, what kind of soldiers are they.
Political Commissar Ai Chunan nodded and said: "Then how to fight the division commander, we must have a bottom in our hearts, and we must not let the little devil lead us by the nose." ”
Xuanyi said loudly: "Teacher, this group of beasts doesn't even let go of the old man and children, we must avenge this revenge, what do you say we should do now?" ”
Wang Long's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said murderously: "Since the devils are ready, then we must not directly crash into their pockets, in this case, it is equivalent to falling into their trap." But now the little devils don't know exactly how many troops we have, which gives us a lot of room to maneuver. ”
Then, Wang Lung said loudly: "Order: The entire Fugu County and Sheshenmu County are all in a state of first-level combat readiness, all ammunition is immediately distributed to all troops, and the grain must be made into dry food for wartime, at least ten days' supply." The cavalry regiment, the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, the Special Regiment, and the Motor Transport Brigade set out immediately tonight, and must rush to the mountains around Luliang before dawn, and let them all take cover. ”
"In addition, didn't we set up the second regiment of recruits, and ordered the main forces of the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, and the artillery regiment directly under the brigade headquarters to rush to the periphery of Luliang before tomorrow and make preparations to besiege Luliang. The main force of the 2nd Regiment was stationed in Wucheng City, preparing to meet the Japanese army on the Datong side. The guard regiment stayed behind one battalion, the other followed me, and the headquarters was notified to send personnel to stop the Japanese puppet army moving in Linfen for me, and the remaining part was left behind, and Comrade Ai Chunan, the political commissar, was responsible for the dispatch. Remember, do you understand that the code name of this operation is called "revenge"? ”
"Got it!"
"Alright, let's carry out the order!" Wang Lung said in a deep voice.
After the generals left, political commissar Ai Chunan frowned and said to Wang Long: "Division commander, what is your purpose for this battle?" ”
"What do you think, with the tactical command ability of the political commissar, you should be able to guess a little!" Wang Long said.
Political Commissar Ai Chunan frowned and looked at the map for a while, and finally said with some uncertainty: "Lu Liang? ”
"Hehe, you underestimate me Wang Lung too much, I took the initiative to take all the troops of the 88th Division, and even risked being surrounded and annihilated just for Lu Liang? And even if we defeat Lu Liang, we will be surrounded by devils. Wang Lung said with a smile.
"You're not going for Yulin, are you?" Political Commissar Ai Chunan asked in surprise.
"What do you think?"
Looking at Wang Long's smiling expression, Political Commissar Ai Chunan patted his head and said: "You are really going to Yulin, don't you want to die, that is Yulin, and the devil is arranging heavy troops there waiting for us?" ”
"What's wrong with Yulin, Longtan Tiger's Den, why can't I go there?" Wang Lung said with a frown.
"I know you're very angry, the little devil's slaughter of innocent people has touched the back of your heart, but you really can't go to this Yulin." Political Commissar Ai Chu Nan Dao.
"Why?"
"Because Yulin is already heavily defended, and it is the location of the headquarters of the 10th Division, according to the information we have received before, the Japanese army is stationed in Yulin with heavy troops. At present, the field troops of the Japanese army in Yulin City alone have a complete infantry brigade, in addition to a tank brigade and a large number of puppet army and devil gendarmes. So that's a few hard bones! ”
Then the political commissar Ai Chunan frowned again and said, "No, even if we can take it, we will definitely pay heavy casualties, and in the end, the gains will outweigh the losses." With your character of a profiteer who only takes advantage and does not suffer losses, you will definitely not storm Yulin, and you are also preparing to bring troops around Luliang, what are you going to do? .
Wang Lung smiled and said, "I really won't attack Yulin, but I will definitely take Yulin!" ”
"Unless the little devil is crazy, Yulin is different from small cities like Fugu County and Shenmu County, which are a battleground and the city fortifications are extremely perfect. Although our whole division is dispatched now, the total strength is only about the same as that of the 10th Division, and now you are not leading all the troops, only the bayonets, the guard regiment, and the cavalry regiment, you will not use your men to attack Yulin! ”
"Besides, all eyes are on Yulin now, and there is still a train and other places in Yulin, and the devil can reach it in less than two hours by train, if you don't have that time in 2 corporals, then you know that you will be in danger, division commander?" Political Commissar Ai Chu Nan Dao.
Wang Lung pointed at Lu Liangcheng and said, "The key is here!" ”
"Lu Liang?"
"Yes, this time we will attack Luliang, isn't the devil waiting for us now, the devil is not worried about us counterattacking, and even hopes that we will take the initiative to attack and have a decisive battle with them, so as to create a good opportunity to annihilate our army."
"Well, it makes sense, but what does this have to do with your attack on Lu Liang?" Political Commissar Ai Chunan asked again.
"Of course it matters, since the Japanese army has arranged in Yulin, where did the devils here come from?"
"That's right, Lvliang is so close to Yulin, so if we attack Lvliang, the devils must come out from Yulin and Datong to reinforce, and we have arranged ambushes on the Datong defense line to ambush the devils who come to reinforce, and if the devils from Linfen come to reinforce, didn't you just notify the headquarters, then Yulin is left, and Yulin is not arranging heavy troops waiting for us to take the initiative to attack? Will Yoshio Shinozuka in Yulin still ignore things? Political Commissar Ai Chunan's eyes lit up and said.
"That's natural, there are only a few little devils in total, I think there is at most one wing of defenders in Yulin City, plus the strength of the nearby strongholds and county seats, there is only one brigade, at most four or five thousand people."
Then Wang Long continued: "Now I have placed two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment on the periphery of Luliang, with a total strength of more than 6,500 people, which is equivalent to more than one reinforced brigade of the Japanese army. I believe that there are certainly not so many troops that the Japanese army has placed in Lvliang, and as long as we put on such a posture, the Japanese troops in Yulin will definitely move to Lvliang. ”
"Are you trying to turn the tiger away from the mountain?"
"Well, as long as the defenders in Yulin City are transferred to a little more, then the entire city defense will be much empty. In addition, no one would have thought that we would make a roundabout attack, so even if we had a calculation or not, the odds of winning were quite large, and there were bayonets, so Yulin City would not be worried. Wang Lung said.
"How are you going to take a detour, is it a detour to the south?"
"Yes, I will surround the heavy troops of the devils and garrison the heavy troops on the periphery of Shenmu County, then I will pass from the west of Yulin City, the terrain in the west is open, and the excited troops will soon be able to reach Yulin, and I will leave some cars as our mobile troops to act, as long as the troops are detoured back to Yulin City, then this battle is equivalent to winning half, as for the remaining half, it depends on how many devils can be mobilized by Luliang's side!" Wang Lung said in a deep voice.
