Chapter 583 Dispatch of Troops

Yang Juan's worries still have some reason. After all, I've been fighting with the little devil for so long, and I have a certain understanding of each other. The strength of the Kwantung Army is there, and with the current ability of the guerrillas, it is still a bit unrealistic to attack and attack the county town of Kangfa.

But there is no way, the military order is like a mountain.

"The commander is right, our Wunu Mountain is also a good place, there are volunteers in the back, it is a safe place, it's a pity." The Chief of Staff sighed.

"Let's not talk about that, let's go down and prepare, and do our best to prepare for the war, this is the only thing we can control by ourselves." Yang Juan forced herself to cheer up.

Yang Juan's heart understands better than anyone else that the operation of attacking Kangfa County is too risky, and the men and horses under his command sound quite scary, an army, but in fact, whether it is in terms of strength or weapons and equipment, according to the standards of the volunteers, it is a regiment, and it may not even be able to catch up with a regiment of the other party in terms of firepower. Even so, his team is still the strongest in the First Army.

At this time, although she didn't know which army was cooperating with her, she understood that the other party would have about 1,000 people at most.

Yang Juan led the team to the location designated by the superior before dark the next day.

"Commander Yang, it's finally time for you, the chief of the general staff is waiting for you, let's go, he asked me to go to him as soon as I receive you, and immediately go to him to study the siege plan." As soon as he saw Yang Juan, a deputy chief of staff of the First Army immediately came over and said.

"Okay, let's go immediately, Lao Gao, you can go over after you arrange the troops." After Yang Juan gave an order to her chief of staff, she led a group of subordinates to follow behind the comer.

"Commander Yang, hello, hello, hard work, hurry, sit down, I'm waiting for you." As soon as he saw Yang Juan, Liu Jun hurriedly took a step forward and said happily while shaking his hand.

"Hello, old chief. It's great to have you in command this time, I know the bottom of my heart. Yang Juan also said with some excitement, after all, the two have been together for the longest time and know each other, so Yang Juan has no doubts in terms of command and ability.

"Yang Juan, this attack on the county seat is also a helpless move. The Kwantung Army was to transport a large number of troops and munitions to Shanhaiguan through this road. Their ambition was very great, and they wanted to bring all of China under Japanese fascist rule. In the whole of Manchuria, except for the relatively strong anti-Japanese forces in the Benxi Lake area and the relatively good foundation of anti-Japanese resistance, the other roads leading to Shanhaiguan were all controlled by the Kwantung Army, which was also a major reason why the higher authorities chose to organize an attack on Kangfa County here. As soon as the two sides met, Liu Jun was not polite, and pointed directly to the map.

"Old chief, have all the troops to attack the county town arrived?" When Yang Juan heard Liu Jun's introduction from Chief of General Staff, she didn't ask much, but just wanted to know the situation of other troops.

"Yang Juan, there are two teams attacking the county this time, one is your Third Army and the other is the Ninth Army. As you know, this Ninth Army is newly established, with less than 1,000 people, and its weapons and equipment are not as good as ours, so your troops will be the main attack on the siege, and the Ninth Army will cooperate with you. Before you arrived, I had already sent people to reconnoiter the county seat, and the defense of the four city gates was relatively weak, so I chose the main attack point here. The task of the Ninth Army was to block the other four city gates and contain the firepower of the Kwantung Army and the Imperial Allied Army in the city. Liu Jun said.

"Old chief, which unit is in charge of sniping?" Yang Juan looked at the map and asked. This is because judging from the map, the distance between the Tongjiang River, which is closest to Kangfa, is very close to each other, and with the mobility of the Kwantung Army, the reinforcements can reach it in two or three hours at the earliest. Xinjing, which is relatively far away, can be reached in one or two days.

"That's right, in the direction of Benxi Lake, the Ninth Army will undertake the task of blocking. In the direction of Xinjing, the headquarters is now contacting the Second Route Army Headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which is closest to here, and if it goes well, after the fight here starts tomorrow, the Second Route Army will be able to rush to this line within four hours. Commander Yang, we don't have too much hope for the Second Route Army, after all, they are from the Northeast Army. ”

"Old chief, according to your meaning, if the contact is not smooth, there will be no troops to snipe the enemy in the direction of Xinjing?" Yang Juan didn't expect the situation to be like this, so she asked uneasily.

"You're right, if it doesn't go well, we'll need to end the fight in four hours. If the battle could not be ended within four hours, the plan to attack the county town would have failed. So, the situation is very unfavorable for us. At this time, Liu Jun didn't have to tell lies.

"How so? It's also too risky. For four hours, it is difficult to attack, and if it is not defeated, let the Kwantung Army and the Imperial Alliance Army be entangled, the consequences will be unimaginable. If this is when our team and weapons have not been divided, to speak from the heart, there is still a little confidence, now there are 2,000 people, plus the Ninth Army is less than 3,000 people, and it is both a sniper and a main attack, it is really too difficult. ”

"The difficulty is not small, but the First and Second Armies north of Xinjing are rushing in the direction of Xinjing to contain a part of the Kwantung Army."

"Old chief, didn't the troops of the Second Route Army participate in the operation this time?" Yang Juan asked unrelentingly. After all, when it comes to life and death, she is responsible for more than two thousand fighters.

"Yang Juan, there are some things you may not understand, the connection between the First Route Army and the Second Route Army is not so smooth, and we do not have the authority to directly command the teams below. Let's talk about the Volunteers, the closest to us, but ......

Now the team of the Volunteers has joined the team of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which is a DL division under Yao Zhenshan of the Second Route Army. This time, your superiors did not approve your many proposals, and at the same time, when attacking Lotus Mountain, the headquarters did not agree to your support, so ......" Liu Jun said here, and did not continue.

“...... It's up to us. Chief of the General Staff, how is the situation in the county? Yang Juan sighed helplessly and then asked. Yang Juan knew in her heart that her superiors had already made up their minds, so no matter whether they succeeded or not, the order to attack the county seat must be carried out.

"Here's the situation in Kangfa County." Liu Jun took out a piece of paper, spread it on the map, and said while analogizing: "There are two Kwantung Army squadrons and one Kwantung Army military police brigade in the county seat. Although it is a gendarmerie brigade, the formation is still a squadron. In total, there are about 600 little devils. At the same time, there was also a brigade of the Imperial Cooperative Army, with two regiments and about 3,000 people. In addition to this, there are pseudo-police stations and plainclothes squads, both of which together have about 600 people.

Commander Yang, the reason why this operation is so urgent is because the headquarters has obtained information that a batch of weapons and equipment transported from the Mishan Kwantung Army Base will pass through here the day after tomorrow, and we must take this place before tomorrow to stop the southward transportation of this batch of weapons. This is a dead order from above. Yang Juan, we ...... We need to be mentally prepared. Liu Jun looked at Yang Juan with a very ugly face and said.

The army is the army, and once the order is given, the military order is like a mountain.

At this time, Yang Juan, although she was not sure of winning the siege, had to carry out the orders of her superiors to attack the city.

The next morning, before Yang Juan led his troops to the south gate of Kangfa County, before dawn, the three city gates of the east, west, and north sounded the sound of siege gunfire and explosions. This was specially arranged by the chief of staff of Liu Jun, and the other three Zhen attacked the city gate to take the lead in the battle, so as to attract the firepower of the Kwantung Army in the city, and after the troops at the south gate were attracted past, Yang Juan's troops would start the battle again.

It should be said that such tactics and ideas are still very good, but there is one thing that Chief of General Staff Liu did not expect, that is, the total number of these people in charge of the itching attack is less than 1,000 people, divided into three groups, and there are less than 300 people outside each city gate. The number of people is not too big a problem, the biggest problem is that the weapons and firepower of these teams are very backward, known as an army, not to mention heavy machine guns, even the light machine guns that each platoon of the volunteers are equipped with, the whole team is less than ten, this is divided into three, the most one has three light machine guns outside the city gate, and the other two city gates are only two.

In terms of its combat effectiveness, the Kwantung Army at Benxi Lake is not only not inferior to other regions, but may be even stronger, because they have seen large formations. After being entangled with the Volunteers for so many years, there were no less than 100 battles of all sizes, and finally planes, tanks and artillery were used.

Although the Volunteers did not have planes and tanks, basically what the Kwantung Army had, they had. Therefore, these guys of the Kwantung Army fought very well, and they didn't need to observe, as long as they listened to the movement outside, they could judge the opponent's firepower and troop strength. Of course, this is only an approximate number, and it is impossible to say that the judgment is very accurate.

Commander of the Kwantung Army in the Benxi Lake area, Asumoto, except for the attack on Lianhua Mountain once last month, did not go anywhere during this time, and always stationed in the city of Kangfa with his men and horses, because he had already received an order from the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Xinjing, and a batch of arms destined for the Kannai had to pass through here in the past few days, and it was necessary to do a good job of escorting them, and there must be no mistakes, and this was related to whether the next step of the Great Japanese Empire's plan in the entire city could be successfully realized.

Yasumoen is a smart guy, and he knows that even if he has a backer, he still doesn't dare to be careless about this order. Therefore, during this time, on the one hand, he secretly dispatched troops and stepped up preparations, and on the other hand, he sent all kinds of plainclothes to inquire about the surrounding situation, especially paying special attention to the intelligence of the volunteers, because in the Benxi Lake area, except for the volunteers, there is nothing else that can threaten the Kwantung Army.

What reassured Aberdeen was that the Volunteers had not made any major moves in the recent past except for retaking Lotus Mountain, which made Aberdeen very happy.

The volunteers did not make any moves, but the guerrillas stationed in Wunu Mountain moved frequently: first joined the Anti-Japanese Federation, then separated most of the team, and even left the Benxi Lake area. At the beginning, Aberdeen did not understand the intentions of the guerrillas, thinking that there was going to be a big operation, but after studying for a long time, under the staff of these traitors, he realized that this was the anti-Japanese alliance to strengthen the voice of the guerrillas and divide the guerrillas into two.

When he heard the news, Aberdeen was very excited.
