After lunch, Ding Wei and the three of them were sitting on chairs chatting and fartizing, when a correspondent's report interrupted their leisure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The correspondent said: "Report to the brigade commander, our scouts have found a large number of little devils on the road more than twenty miles away from the valley. ”

"I found the little devils, how many of them are there? What are you going for? As soon as he heard that the little devil had appeared, Li Moran suddenly stood up from the chair like a spring, he had been suffocating in the valley these days, and he had already been suffocated.

The correspondent replied: "It is the baggage force of the devil, about 2,000 people, driving more than 100 trucks, and it should have come from Taiyuan to deliver supplies to the Japanese army in Xinzhou." ”

"More than 2,000 people? Transporting supplies? Ding Wei's eyes suddenly brightened, how is this so similar to the 115th Division's Pingxingguan victory, is our Second Brigade going to repeat the Pingxingguan story this time?

"Brigadier, do you still need to think about it? Hurry up and do the special mother, as long as you kill more than 2,000 devils, it is enough to attract the Japanese army in Xinzhou! Li Moran was eager to fight, and his face was full of anxiety.

Political Commissar Chen Zhongchun also said; "Brigade commander, don't miss the opportunity, don't come again, do it!"

Ding Wei looked at Chen Zhongchun's determined face, nodded slowly, and said very forcefully: "Dry!" ”

At this time, on the road from Taiyuan to Xinzhou, a Japanese transport unit was on the march. This Japanese army unit is the Fifth Wing of the Heavy Infantry under the Fifth Division, and the wing leader is Shinichi Haraguchi, with the rank of Osa.

This time, the transport wing of Haraguchi Shinichi will go all the way north, respectively to the Japanese troops stationed in Xinzhou and Datong to transport supplies and recruits, Taiyuan to Xinzhou is more than 80 kilometers, the distance is not far and not close, but fortunately, Yan Laoxi in Jin Province loves farming, and the roads in Jin Province are wide and flat, and Haraguchi Shinichi sitting in the car does not feel how bumpy the road is at all.

Although he was a little sleepy in the car, he did not dare to sleep peacefully. Recently, the Eighth Route Army has not known what has gone crazy, and often ambushes the transportation arteries of Jin Province, Zhengtai Road and Tongpu Road have suffered one after another, and the trains have been suspended, otherwise the division commander would not have let the transport wing send out to transport supplies to the defenders in various places.

"Are these dirt roads looking for death? Originally, the imperial army wanted to solve the central army of China and the Jin Sui army and then clean them up, but these dirt roads are too ignorant, and they are in a hurry to provoke the imperial army, if the imperial army is serious, there are definitely 10,000 ways to let them die without a place to be buried! ”

For the Eighth Route Army's jumping up and down, Haraguchi Shinichi really doesn't understand, no matter how you look at it, there is a taste of death, they think that they can fight against the Imperial Army with only millet plus rifles, they really underestimate the Imperial Army, if it weren't for the fact that most of the Imperial Army's troops were used in Central China, the Eighth Route Army would have pinched them to death a long time ago.

Without thinking about why the Eighth Route Army suddenly went crazy, Shinichi Haraguchi asked the driver next to him: "How far is it from Xinzhou?" ”

The driver replied, "It's still forty minutes away." ”

"It's only forty minutes, so there shouldn't be any surprises for that short journey." Shinichi Haraguchi thought so, and then went to sleep with peace of mind.

In the nameless valley, Ding Wei was making urgent combat arrangements for the cadres of the Second Brigade.

"Lin Zhengwen, how long does it take for the devil to get here?" Ding Wei asked Lin Zhengwen, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion.

"Brigade Commander, there are about forty minutes to reach the road below the mountain, and we have time to hurry up and prepare now." Lin Zhengwen said.

This nameless valley is only a few hundred meters high, and it is not as good as going up the mountain for a few minutes, and there are thirty minutes to build an improvised position to ambush the devils, which is very hasty.

"Good! Comrades, this time we are going to ambush about 2,000 Japanese troops, and with our tremendous superiority in strength and the fact that we are prepared to ambush the enemy, victory is a sure thing. However, the elimination of the devils on the highway is only incidental, our real goal is still the devils in Xinzhou City, as long as we attack the devil's transport troops, they will definitely ask the Japanese army in Xinzhou to come to the rescue, and then we can take the opportunity to set up an ambush and wipe out the reinforcements from Xinzhou in one fell swoop. Ding Wei said.

"Then the brigade commander means that we are going to send reinforcements to the Japanese army?" Li Moran said.

"That's right, after we surround the devil's transport force, the Japanese army in Xinzhou City will definitely send troops out to rescue, which just gives us the opportunity to ambush again, this time I want to destroy the Japanese army of the devil's two wings in a row, and at the same time take Xinzhou, cut off the connection between Taiyuan and Datong, it is best to attract the Japanese army in Taiyuan, and create the most favorable conditions for the main force of my instructor to attack Taiyuan." Ding Weiwei said loudly.

"Brigade commander, if we mobilize and eliminate the fifth division of the Japanese army, then it will be effortless for the main force to attack Taiyuan again, and our second brigade should be regarded as the first merit in terms of meritorious deeds, right?" Li Moran said excitedly.

"Of course, our second brigade will either not make meritorious service, and if it does, it must be the first merit!" Ding Wei said proudly.

"Good!" The comrades were all encouraged by Ding Wei's words, and everyone looked anxious to fight, and their morale was very high.

"Now the time is only forty minutes, I won't say more nonsense, I announce the combat deployment: the fourth, fifth, and sixth regiments will immediately move to set up an ambush near the road under the mountain, be careful of the devil's fire reconnaissance, and never be discovered by the devil in advance, and after the devil enters the ambush circle, give full play to the automatic firepower, and hit the devil fiercely."

"Brigadier Commander, what about us?" The fourth, fifth, and sixth regiments all received combat missions, and the other three regiment commanders began to be anxious.

"What's the hurry, you set up an ambush in the middle of the road to this side of Xinzhou City, once the devils in Xinzhou City enter the ambush circle, you will beat me hard and wipe them out!" Ding Weiwei said loudly.

"Yes, resolutely complete the task." The regimental commanders shouted excitedly.

"Okay, the tasks have been issued, you hurry up and prepare, remember, you must give full play to the firepower on the battlefield, do not use human lives to fill, our instructor's Yulin Arsenal is now a bullet and shell production line, there is no need to desperately save ammunition, when encountering a strong counterattack by devils, you must use the maximum firepower to destroy them, do not make unnecessary sacrifices. Just like the division commander said, if the ammunition is gone, it can be captured and manufactured, but if the life is gone, it will be lost forever. ”

"Yes, Brigadier General!" The comrades replied loudly that the division commander and the brigade commander believed that the lives of the soldiers were more important than weapons and ammunition, which made the comrades feel very shocked, after all, whether it was the Red Army before or the current Eighth Route Army, in order to capture the enemy's weapons, they did not do less to charge with human lives.

"Adjournment!" Ding Dawei waved his hand.
