Chapter Fifty-Nine: Encirclement and Reinforcement
The effect of recruiting troops is very good, with these several major battles, the Montenegrin column recruited troops much faster in the surrounding villages and towns, and many ordinary people know that there is an anti-Japanese team stationed in Montenegro that can win battles.

Therefore, when the recruitment team went down to recruit soldiers, many people enthusiastically signed up, and more than 1,500 people were recruited in less than half a month.
At the same time, the bandits in Montenegro also knew the attitude of Wang Long's subordinates towards them, and they could not allow others to sleep peacefully on the couch.
Some of them took the initiative to join the Eighth Route Army, while others were far away, far away from where Wang Lung was.
For a time, small Japan did not dare to come within a radius of several tens of kilometers with Montenegro as the center, the bandits were gone, and the lives of ordinary people had never been as stable as they are now.
However, Wang Lung knew that this kind of stability was only temporary, and with the character of a devil who would repay him, he would definitely not wait for them to sit down.
The reason why they did not continue to attack now was mainly because the devils were stunned by their fierce offensive some time ago, and they were confused for a while, and when they came to their senses, it was time for the war to resume.
In the command headquarters, Wang Lung kept tapping on the map with a pencil, thinking about how to eat Wangjia Town without letting the defenders of Heilong Town reinforce it, which is the solution that needs to be solved at present.
"Damn, why do I have to capture Wangjia Town?" Wang Lung suddenly slapped the table, and soon a battle plan came to his mind.
Zheng Wei and Xuan Yi next to them were suddenly startled by Wang Lung's actions and looked at Wang Lung together. Looking at the puzzled eyes of the two, Wang Lung smiled.
"Zheng Wei, what I mean is that we only carry out a feint attack on Wangjia Town, attracting reinforcements from the direction of Changheilong Town, we only send reinforcements, not attack, just now we have been thinking about capturing Wangjia Town, hehe, let us fall into a misunderstanding."
"Isn't there nearly two mixed divisions stationed in Heilong Town, and Heilong Town is the place with the most garrisons in this area, we attack Wangjia Town, the devils in Heilong Town will definitely send reinforcements, the devils are now sending at most one division of men and horses, and the number of men and horses is at most 8,000 people, and with our current strength, we should be able to gnaw and move." Wang Lung explained his thoughts to everyone.
After hearing this, several people suddenly realized.
Immediately, the quiet command resounded with the sound of discussion.
In the end, the three of them finally chose a battlefield 30 miles away from Wangjia Town, where the terrain was not very suitable for ambushes, but it was the most open place.
Soon the combat tasks were divided, Xuan Yi and the three of them led most of the men and horses of the headquarters, as well as the strong and heavy machine gun platoon, the mortar platoon, and the strength of the mortar platoon to attack the enemy's reinforcements, while Wang Long took the special company, 800 veterans, 1,000 recruits, artillery platoon, guard company, etc. to feint Wangjia Town.
Zheng Wei stayed in the base area to prevent the sneak attack of the devils.
After lunch, the troops set off on time and set off for their respective positions, and Genichi and the others came to the battlefield, and sure enough, like the map of the captured enemy, in the continuous mountains, the terrain here was open.
Only a myriad of shrubs grew, and a dirt road ran through the middle of the open field. This distance is enough for 4 miles, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at such a battlefield.
"Order the troops to dig a trench 30 meters from the roadside, it must be one meter deep, and all the excavated soil must be transported away so that the enemy search team cannot find it." Xuanyi immediately ordered.
"Regiment commander, so close to the road, the enemy won't be discovered!" Jiang Ping immediately raised his own questions (since there is a rank, it belongs to the brigade level, so Xuan Yi and the three became the regiment commanders).
"Hehe, Jiang Ping, how far did you say that the enemy's search team is generally far from the main force!" Genichi asked with a smile.
"Regiment commander, the enemy's search party is generally 500 meters away from the main force." Jiang Ping still answered Xuanyi's words suspiciously.
"Jiang Ping, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, hehe, we just want to dig trenches in the most dangerous places of the enemy, as long as our soldiers all hide in the ditch, and cover them with straw mats and floating soil, I believe that the enemy will not find out, when the time comes, we will use all the automatic fire and grenades, I don't believe those devils are iron," said Jiang Ping, looking at Jiang Ping.
Jiang Ping nodded after hearing this, although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, but obviously agreed with his head of the group's statement.
Soon, all the soldiers began to dig the fortifications, after all, there were almost 5000 people, and all of them started to do it, some dug trenches, some carried earth, and several hours passed.
As far as Xuan Yi looked, two trenches immediately appeared on both sides of the road, and looking at the soldiers who were working in full swing below, Xuan Yi was even more confident in victory.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, all the trenches were finished, and the soldiers were so tired that they sat in the trenches and you fell asleep.
Seeing this, Genichi hurriedly ordered all the cooking classes to cook a hot meal for the soldiers and let the soldiers have a good rest.
The next day, when Xuan Yi saw the two trenches in front of him, he was full of emotion, it was really a lot of strength.
Xuanyi discussed it with Xuanji and Xuansan, and immediately brought all the straw mats collected here to prepare for camouflage, and after all the soldiers were arranged, the reconnaissance platoon and himself and Xuanji personally checked to prevent the enemy from revealing flaws.
and immediately sent a report to Wang Long's side (6 radio stations were seized when he defeated the devil), saying that his side had been ambushed and could attack Wangjiazhen.
After receiving the telegram from Xuanyi, he immediately pulled out the hidden mountain artillery platoon, and the muzzles of the guns were all aimed at the outer positions of the devils.
Under Wang Lung's order, all 33 cannons roared, and 33 shells accurately landed on the devil's position, and immediately blew up a lot of devils.
Before the devil's artillery could reflect, the second round of shells fell again. A few rounds of shells fell, and the devil couldn't hold on any longer. They fled from their positions and no longer cared about their positions.
The devils stationed in Wangjia Town immediately asked Heilong Town for help, and after a while, they got a call back from Heilong Town and agreed to send a brigade to rescue.
Knowing that Wang Lung's side was starting, Xuan Yi immediately ordered the troops to enter the position to hide, and even the artillery men and horses hid the artillery, picked up infantry weapons, and hid in the trenches.
After a concealment by the guard company, almost all traces were swept away, and Xuan Yi and a few people also walked on the road again, conducted an inspection, and revised an anti-shortcoming.
After seeing that there was no way to find a trace of clues, Xuan Yi nodded with satisfaction, walked to the hidden headquarters, waited for the arrival of the enemy, and imagined the miserable appearance of the devil, Xuan Yi smiled.
When the commander of the Devil's brigade, Taku Hanazawa, also received the order from Katsuju Bao, although he didn't want to send troops, but the order of the command had to go, so he ordered the soldiers in his headquarters to prepare weapons and ammunition, set off, and went to reinforce.
