Xiao Siming's judgment was right, and the Japanese puppet army in Fengqiu City rushed to reinforce it. Vertex. The update was the fastest, but they came too slowly, causing the soldiers of the regiment, battalion and heavy machine guns to wait for three hours before the prey fell into the trap.

The strength of the Japanese puppet army in Fengqiu City is indeed limited, and it is only a small team of devils, plus the pseudo-Fengqiu security regiment that the Japanese army cobbled together in Fengqiu.

The Pseudo-Fengqiu Security Regiment has not been established for a long time, and the strength of the Pseudo-Fengqiu Security Regiment is actually about 300 people per battalion.

Because it was necessary to leave part of the troops to defend the city, the Japanese puppet army that came out from Fengqiu to reinforce Chen Qiao was added together, and there were about 200 people. When this point of troops encounters a regiment and a battalion of the Eighth Route Army and a heavy machine gun battalion, and it is an ambush battle that is prepared to fight unprepared, it is like drinking cold water, and it is very smooth.

The cavalry battalion went to the docks to sweep away the remnants of the enemy, but they were empty. At this time, it was evening, because they were worried about air raids, the Japanese troops in Chenqiao Town only put observation posts on the wharf during the day, and did not put guard troops, let alone any materials piled up on the wharf.

Xiao Siming immediately ordered Liu Zhaoming to lead the cavalry battalion to quickly kill Fengqiu City and seize Fengqiu City.

What is surprising is that when the Eighth Route Army arrived at Fengqiu City, the Japanese puppet army in the city had already fled out of the city. It's a pity that they couldn't outrun the war horses of the Eighth Route Army, and ten miles west of the city, they were caught up by the cavalry battalion, cutting melons and vegetables, and wiped them out.

Xiao Siming immediately ordered the cavalry battalion to camp in Fengqiu City, and divided the troops overnight to mobilize the masses to publicize anti-Japanese propaganda and expand the army to recruit troops.

Due to the transfer of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army that originally captured northern Henan and garrisoned northern Henan to the battlefield in eastern Henan, the Japanese troops in northern Henan were extremely empty, if it weren't for the Japanese Fifth Division and the 16th Division following behind the buttocks, they might catch up at any time, Xiao Siming could completely let go and sweep northern Henan!

At this time, the 129th Division had begun to send supplementary regiments out of Taihang to open up the Tainan base area, and the anti-Japanese armed forces created by ** people also appeared in the Xinxiang area, but they were still very weak and could not pose a threat to the Japanese army for the time being.

Xiao Siming's purpose in moving south to northern Henan was to further mobilize the Japanese Fifth Division and the 16th Division to move southward and lead the Japanese army around the nose, so that the Japanese army could neither carry out a heavy sweep of the Hebei-Shandong border base areas, the central Hebei base areas, and the southern Hebei base areas, nor could it quickly mobilize troops to re-attack Zhengzhou and seize control of the Pinghan Railway.

According to Xiao Siming's thoughts, the longer he held the Japanese army by the nose, the more time he had in the First Theater to reorganize the troops and consolidate the defensive line. As long as it drags on until mid-July, the North China Front will feel that it is not able to catch its strength, and it may abandon its plan to seize Zhengzhou and attack Wuhan along the Pinghan Road, as it has done in history, and instead send the Second Army to attack from the Huaihe River valley along the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains, and assist the Central China Army to send troops to attack Wuhan along the Yangtze River, so as to bring the historical direction back to its original track.

Of course, it would be best to be able to hold off the Japanese army and prolong the time for the Japanese army to capture Wuhan. It's just that the Japanese army at this time has sufficient troops on the whole, and even if Xiao Siming drags the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division, it can't shake the Japanese army's determination to capture Wuhan.

Don't think about it so much, right now, what Xiao Siming has to think about is how to bring back the captured loot!

After returning to Chenqiao Town, Xiao Siming went to several warehouses where the Japanese army stored ammunition and supplies, and immediately organized troops to rush to transport them.

Judging from the stored materials, the 14th Division, the 3rd Mixed Brigade, and the 13th Mixed Brigade are indeed full of artillery and vehicles, and a large number of field howitzers, cannons, 75 field artillery, 75 mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, rapid-fire artillery shells, and tank artillery shells are stored in the warehouse, and the types are also very complete, including high-explosive shells, armor-piercing shells, and poison gas shells.

There is also a lot of gasoline and diesel, and when Xiao Siming took a look, he knew that compared with the Japanese mechanized troops and heavy equipment divisions, he had few tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles. With the gasoline and diesel stored in the warehouses of the Japanese army in Chenqiao, I am afraid that the cars of the armored battalion and the automobile company of the baggage battalion will not be used up in a year.

Not to mention bullets, anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, light and heavy machine gun bullets, vehicle-mounted machine gun bullets, rifle bullets, pistol bullets, everything, and the number is very large!

Think about it, the Japanese infantry carries 200 rounds of ammunition base in peacetime combat, and if the 14th Division, the 3rd Brigade, and the 13th Brigade are fully established, they will add up to almost 40,000 people.

The grenades were stacked neatly in boxes and boxes, occupying a warehouse.

There are also weapons ready to replenish the Japanese army, from infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers to light and heavy machine guns, rifles, pistols, bayonets, all stacked in boxes, there are enough weapons and equipment of four infantry brigades!

The medicines that the Eighth Route Army lacked the most, and they were also available in the Japanese army warehouses in Chenqiao, and there were many of them!

Canned beef, canned caviar, rice, white flour, all piled up in the warehouse!

In addition, there are Japanese military supplies such as soap, soap, toothpaste, and military uniforms.

It seems that Shouichi Terauchi also expected that the Battle of Wuhan would be very difficult and long, and the materials transferred to Kaifeng would be fully prepared.

No wonder Yan Rou, who was following Zheng Xiuchuan's side, smiled when she saw Xiao Siming, saying that this battle was absolutely worth and how many problems she solved for the logistics department!

It's a pity that because of the emphasis on the speed of the attack, Xiao Siming brought Chen Qiao a fast column, and there were only cavalry battalions, heavy machine gun battalions, artillery regiment infantry artillery battalions, rapid-fire artillery companies, and one regiment and one battalion.

The most important thing is that it must also be transported away tonight. Tomorrow, Chen Qiao will become the focus of the Japanese plane's reconnaissance and search, maybe the little devil will bomb Chen Qiao indiscriminately and burn all the jade stones!

Xiao Siming asked Zheng Xiuchuan how many Japanese cars and rubber ** cars were captured?

Zheng Xiuchuan replied that 50 cars and 200 rubber trucks were seized.

Zheng Xiuchuan only grinned, and when Xiao Siming asked him if his existing vehicles could transport all the seized materials, he remembered and muttered, "What can I do about this?" You can't set fire to the supplies you can't take away, right? What a pity! ”

Xiao Siming was also worried, 50 cars were seized, he brought 100 cars, plus 200 rubber ** cars, all of which were used and could not be transported. Because at this time, the Japanese army's car load was only 1.5 tons, and they couldn't pull much. As for the rubber truck, this is a plain area, the road is flat, according to the full load of 1 ton, 200 rubber trucks can only transport 200 tons of materials at a time.

150 automobiles and 200 rubber trucks can only transport 425 tons of materials once, which is only equivalent to the cargo capacity of a ten-car wagon.

Hey, in the end, it's the railroad that has a strong transportation capacity. Cars and rubber cars are time-consuming and laborious, and they are still weak!

That's it, the Japanese army still transported to the other side of the Yellow River by ship every night, otherwise, Chen Qiao would have stored more Japanese supplies!

Yan Rou is good at financial management, took an abacus and pulled and calculated for a while, and told Xiao Siming and Shi Poshan that even if all the cars and rubber cars were used, all of them were fully loaded, the cars would have to run three times, and the rubber cars would have to run twice to transport Chen Qiao's arms and materials. That's not counting the rice and white noodles, if the rice and white noodles are all transported away, it is estimated that the car will have to run 6 times, and the rubber ** car will have to run 4 times!

That is to say, Chenqiao Town has stored two entire columns of munitions!

Xiao Siming immediately asked Shi Poshan to assign tasks to the troops in Chenqiao, giving priority to the shipment of gasoline, diesel, weapons and ammunition. Each car is shipped according to the standard of 4 tons, and the rubber ** car is shipped according to 2 tons per car.

As for rice and white noodles, Xiao Siming asked that a task force be organized to publicize and mobilize the masses around Chenqiao, and mobilize villagers to assist the troops in rushing to transport them. In the end, I really couldn't get rid of it, so I opened a warehouse to release grain and help the villagers!

Yan Rou couldn't listen anymore, and reminded Xiao Siming that the Japanese army's truck could only pull 1.5 tons, and if it pulled too much, would it crush the steel plate and burst the tire?

Xiao Siming thinks about the era before he traveled, and the trucks were all overloaded. Some even overload several times the design load capacity. This is again in the plain area, the road is flat, there is no problem of climbing mountains and mountains, so I replied that there is no problem!

The beautiful Yan Rou's long eyelashes fluttered, and once again confirmed in his heart that Xiao Siming was a simple and bold child!

Xiao Siming said that there is no problem, there must be no problem, no matter whether Yan Rou believes it or not, Shi Poshan absolutely believes it!

However, Shi Poshan raised a problem, there are not so many drivers and drivers of rubber ** cars!

Xiao Siming originally wanted to use the wire rope of the trailer to connect the two cars together and use the car to tow the car. But considering that every car had to be overloaded and it was impossible to tow it anymore, I asked how many car soldiers could drive among the Japanese soldiers captured by Shi Poshan?

Shi Poshan was meticulous in his work, but he didn't know Japanese, and he didn't know how many of the captives could drive cars. There was no way, Xiao Siming had to check it in person.

At this time of the Anti-Japanese War, because the Eighth Route Army was accustomed to ambushing the Japanese army's transport fleets, the automobile soldiers also became the arms with a relatively high casualty rate in the Japanese army, and they were replenished relatively quickly. Automobile soldiers are also technical troops, and compared with those fanatical young soldiers in the field troops, their will to fight is much worse, and if they have the opportunity to surrender, the probability of their surrender is relatively high. In addition, the average Japanese soldiers have a degree of initial Chinese, and many soldiers in the heavy army can drive cars and ride motorcycles.

Xiao Siming gathered those captives and counted them, but there were not many of them, only 152 people.

Xiao Siming told the captives in Japanese that if anyone could drive a car or drive a rubber car to assist the Eighth Route Army in transporting supplies, he would unconditionally release them when they arrived at their destination, and escort them to a safe place where they could easily communicate with the Japanese army, let them leave freely, and not announce that they had been captured.

This condition is absolutely tempting!

The Japanese treated captured soldiers with cruelty, and even if they escaped, they were often executed. But if the Eighth Route Army did not announce that they had been captured, they might return to the army disguised as missing and returned personnel, and their families would not be implicated.

As a result, what surprised Emperor Hirohito and Terauchi Shouyi was that when the 5 little devils who refused to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army were stabbed to death on the spot by the soldiers with bayonets, the remaining 157 captured Japanese automobile soldiers, drivers, and veterinarians all honestly chose to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army, and kept bowing to Xiao Siming, and muttered "I'm sorry for you!"
