When he received Wang Quanyou's report, Xiao Siming had just fallen asleep.

I'm tired, I'm so tired!

After heading south from the Shaluchi Bypass Daoguan Tao north of the Zhanghe River, Xiao Siming led a rapid column composed of an armored battalion, a cavalry battalion, a regiment and a battalion, an infantry artillery battalion, and a rapid-fire artillery company to attack and occupy Chenqiao, and then rush to transport supplies. Until the seized materials were transported across the Yellow River, Xiao Siming continued to fight, working day and night, without even closing his eyes, and he was already sleepy to death. This one lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Chen Qiang, the director of the radio station, took Wang Quanyou's telegram, stood at the door of the room where Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui were staying, hesitated for a moment, and still shouted the report.

Xiao Siming was too tired and slept too deeply, Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun were awakened by Chen Qiang's report, they got up immediately, walked to the door, took the telegram in Chen Qiang's hand and read it, Hu Qingyun said: "The commander is really expecting the enemy like a god, and the independent mixed fourth brigade is finally here!"

Wang Lushui made a silent calculation in his heart and said: "Judging from the map, the distance from the road from the Daimyo to Puyang is less than eighty kilometers. From the Wei River to Puyang, that is, more than 60 kilometers. The 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade has been on standby in the Daimyo for a few days, and it will be very fast to recuperate! If the Japanese really did not know that our army controlled Puyang, they would probably dispatch motorcycles, tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles to carry part of their troops and quickly seize Puyang. ”

Hu Qingyun's brows furrowed suddenly: "In other words, two hours later, three hours at most, the vanguard of the Japanese army may arrive in Puyang City!" ”

Wang Lushui did not hesitate and ordered: "Wake up the commander and prepare for battle!" ”

Hu Qingyun jumped into the house with an arrow step, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Siming's nose, and shouted in his mouth: "Commander, wake up, the little devil is coming!" ”

This trick really worked, Xiao Siming woke up in a flash, reached out to touch the pistol under the pillow, and asked in a daze: "Where is the devil?" ”

Hu Qingyun hurriedly reported: "Commander, Wang Quanyou sent back a telegram that the Japanese army's independent mixed fourth brigade has moved south from the Weihe line!" ”

Xiao Siming woke up, sat up from the bed, and asked, "What about the telegram?" ”

Hu Qingyun called Wang Lushui to come in and handed the telegram to Xiao Siming.

Xiao Siming took the telegram and read it, and then said: "Political commissar, chief of staff, let the radio station contact the other detachments of the reconnaissance battalion to find out whether the Japanese troops who are independently mixed into the two wings of the fourth brigade have been dispatched." Don't be in a hurry, let the troops hurry up and sleep and regain their strength. Five hours later, the troops finished camping, had dinner, and set out to meet the devils! ”

The vanguard of the little devils is likely to arrive in Puyang City in two or three hours, but Xiao Siming said that he would sleep for five hours!

Is this product still not awake and confused?

Wang Lushui immediately said: "No! The Daimyo is less than 80 kilometers away from Puyang, and the Weihe River is more than 60 kilometers away from Puyang. Moreover, there were no units of our army along the way, and no one stopped the Japanese army. The Japanese army mistakenly thought that Puyang City was still in their hands, and it was very likely that they would dispatch motorcycles, tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles to quickly occupy Puyang with a tank brigade, and in three hours at most, the little devils would arrive at Puyang City! ”

Xiao Siming smiled immediately: "Political commissar, you regard the independent mixed fourth brigade as the fifth division and the third division!" When we were in Shouyang, we fought with the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Formation, and they were fighting Qiufeng behind the butts of the troops of the 16th Division! This kind of garbage troops, where can there be any tank brigades? ”

Wang Lushui didn't believe it: "The little devils all have tanks, armored vehicles, cars, motorcycles, and the fourth brigade can be an exception?" ”

Xiao Siming had no choice but to explain: "After Chen Qiao eliminated the 15th Independent Infantry Brigade, I figured out the structure of the Japanese army's independent mixed brigades. This independent mixed brigade is a new establishment of the Japanese army, with complete engineers, artillery, baggage troops, cavalry, and communication troops, and it is a miniaturization of the division and regiment, the purpose of which is to reduce the command level and be more flexible! However, the task of the independent mixed brigade is to garrison the place, and the equipment cannot be compared with the division. They have very few tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles, and they all act with the infantry, and do not fight in separate formations. This is stipulated in the drill code of the Japanese army! ”

When Hu Qingyun heard this, he was also suspicious, and asked suspiciously: "Commander, I think what you said is mostly subjective!" In case the little devil is anxious for revenge and is eager to enter Puyang, he will definitely speed up the march in accordance with the requirements of the soldiers. We can't be careless, we still have to be guarded! ”

Xiao Siming let out a long yawn, his eyes were full of tears, and he endured his sleepiness and said: "Don't worry, the little devil's tanks, armored vehicles, and cars won't come so soon, when will the infantry arrive, when will they arrive!" Besides, the little devil is here to intercept our eastward advance detachment, and we have the means to destroy the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles! Even if the commander of the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, Kawamura Dong, was eager for revenge and advanced alone, the commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi, and the commander of the First Army, Mitsu Mijiro, would not allow him to march at night, and the little devil would camp as soon as it was dark. Even if they didn't camp and marched continuously, at the fastest speed of the infantry, they would have to walk for 10 hours! Let the troops sleep with peace of mind, and recover their strength first! ”

After speaking, Xiao Siming no longer paid attention to Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun, and lay back on the bed and fell asleep!

Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun looked at each other, feeling that what Xiao Siming said was too wishful thinking, wasn't the combat characteristics of the Japanese army quickly outflanked?

Xiao Siming had fallen asleep again, but Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun were no longer sleepy, and began to prepare for the withdrawal of troops from Puyang one by one.

By the time Xiao Siming was shouted by Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun again, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

After sleeping for five hours, although the sleep was still insufficient, the young man's physical strength recovered quickly, and after washing his face, Xiao Siming felt full of energy again.

The cooking squads of all units have already prepared their meals and are serving them. Xiao Siming ate a good meal like a whirlwind, and Wang Lushui, Hu Qingyun, and Zheng Xiuchuan, who had been waiting for him for a long time, pulled him to the map and reported to him the movements of the Japanese army on the northern front.

Xiao Siming is right about one thing, that is, the Japanese army's independent mixed Fourth Brigade did not use tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles intensively to quickly occupy Puyang; But there is also a mistake in saying that the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade did not camp after dark, but continued to rush and rushed straight to Puyang!

The reason why Xiao Siming was able to say that he was right was because at this time the German army had not yet launched a blitzkrieg against Poland, the Japanese army had not seen the fierce attack of the armored force group, and the tactical thinking was still stuck in the First World War period, so there was no independent tank division, so it was naturally impossible to concentrate on the use of armored forces. The reason why Xiao Siming was wrong at the latter point was because Kawamura Dong was too eager to avenge the 15th Independent Infantry Brigade, too eager to wash away the humiliation brought to the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade by losing Chen Qiao, too eager to intercept the northward return passage of the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and too confident in the information he learned through the phone!

Because Major General Kawamura Dong was too proactive, the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade started one hour earlier than the Nara Detachment of the 16th Division on the west side and the Independent Mixed Third Brigade on the east side. Now, the Nara detachment and the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade are camped on the spot after dark, but the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade is still on the way, isn't this in a hurry to send them to death?

As for the second on the east side of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade is the 62nd Wing and the 82nd Wing of the division, because they are new troops on the battlefield, they are strictly on par with the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade and are in the same step. The 3rd Brigade was camped independently, and they were also camped. Follow suit!

After listening to Zheng Xiuchuan's report and carefully reading the telegram sent back by the reconnaissance battalion, Xiao Siming said slowly: "This Hecun Dong is really an ignorant and fearless!" Since he wants to be the first bird, Lao Tzu will shoot the first bird! ”

Hu Qingyun looked eager, gestured on the map with his hand, and said to Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming: "Political commissar, commander, you see, the independent mixed fourth brigade and the Nara detachment of the 16th Division on the west side and the independent mixed third brigade on the east side have opened up the distance. ”

Zheng Xiuchuan followed and said: "Judging from the current situation, we have been very successful in deceiving the enemy, and the little devil does not know that the main force of our army is in Puyang. Fight unprepared, this battle, our army will win! ”

By this time, the trend of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade being alone had already taken shape, and as long as the main force of the eastward advance detachment pounced, it was almost a foregone conclusion that the Fourth Independent Brigade would be defeated.

Wang Lushui is also eager to try, but he is a political commissar, so he has to be calm and can't think about things too well.

Wang Lushui said: "We are short of troops, and we don't expect to completely annihilate the fourth brigade and regiment independently, and we can't do it. However, it is still entirely possible to destroy one or two infantry brigades and crush its main forces! Commander, give the order! ”

This is an independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army!

When a brigade meets an independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, not only does it not immediately transfer and retreat, but also thinks about how to kill the little devil, looking at the Eighth Route Army system, and even the entire Chinese anti-Japanese army, only Xiao Siming's department has the guts!

No way, strength is everything! Although the eastward advance detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army is a brigade-level formation, it has an armored assault force, an artillery regiment, and a much more artillery than all the other units of the Eighth Route Army combined, and there is also plenty of ammunition! No wonder Wang Lushui, Hu Qingyun, and Zheng Xiuchuan are all eager and eager to try!

Don't be verbose, what Xiao Siming is waiting for is to be independently mixed into the Fourth Brigade to die quickly!
