Chapter 593: Fighting the Baggage Troops

A courtyard house in the county seat is where the brigade headquarters of the new Second Brigade is located, and in the main room is where Sun Weiguo, Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong and others work, and it is already full of people at this time.

"The Japanese army has assembled troops in Yangquan County, Xiyang County, Meng County, and Yuzhong County, and at present, according to the report of the reconnaissance battalion, the Japanese army has assembled the strength of at least four infantry wings, which are the troops of two brigades, and it seems that the Japanese army wants to take some action this time."

Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu Jianwei picked up the baton, pointed to the map on the wall, and said in a solemn tone.

Zhu Jianwei originally served as chief of staff in the first regiment, but this time he was directly transferred to the brigade headquarters as deputy chief of staff.

"Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu, the build-up of the Japanese army is more like pinning us down, according to the intelligence of the intelligence section, the Japanese army has a large number of military supplies will be transported to Hebei Province through Mengxian, and the Japanese army has assembled four infantry wings this time, they obviously want to contain us, so that these military supplies can be safely transported to Hebei Province."

Yin Jin, the deputy director of the staff office, stood up and said softly.

Sun Weiguo directly asked Wang Kunyao, the section chief of the Intelligence Section, to tell him about the situation, and Wang Kunyao immediately told what he had learned.

At present, the work of the intelligence department has been launched, Wang Kunyao is not only responsible for external intelligence, but also Wang Kunyao is responsible for monitoring Fan Shuming, so as to find the traitor inside the new Second Brigade, Fan Shuming can almost be determined to be a traitor, but Sun Weiguo still did not move him, Sun Weiguo wants to use Fan Shuming to dig out all the personnel buried in the new Second Brigade by the Japanese army.

Wang Kunyao said about the Japanese army's transportation of military supplies, and the expressions on the officers' faces began to change when they heard it.

Most of the weapons and ammunition of the Eighth Route Army came from the captured and ambushed Japanese transport troops, which would have a lot of oil and water.

The Japanese army put on a position of four wings to contain the troops of the New Second Brigade, and everyone can imagine how many munitions the Japanese army will transport this time.

"The Chinese and Japanese troops in the Lanfeng area are fighting fiercely, this batch of military supplies must be replenished to the front line, brigade commander, if we can take this batch of military supplies, we can not only support the front-line operations, but also replenish our troops." Sun Ziyuan, the head of the pre-first regiment, said excitedly.

"Brigade commander, the 6th Cavalry Regiment has also been training for a period of time, and now the troops also need to be tested in actual combat, this is an opportunity, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese transport troops is not strong, if we can launch a surprise attack on them, we will definitely win." Yin Jinshan, the commander of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, also said immediately.

The two regiment commanders both wanted to fight the Japanese baggage troops, Sun Weiguo got up from the chair, and he walked to the map.

The Japanese army obviously wanted to prevent the activities of the troops of the New Second Brigade, and they had assembled troops of two brigades and regiments in four county towns, and if the troops of the New Second Brigade took action, the troops of these two brigades and regiments would certainly be dispatched, and the troops of the New Second Brigade would have no way to deal with the troops of these two brigades at all with their current strength.

"Brigade commander, if we directly enter Yangquan County, the four infantry wings of the Japanese army will definitely take action, then we will be forced to fight with the four wings of the Japanese army, even if we can deal with their attacks, but the Japanese army's military supplies will definitely enter Hebei Province safely, there is no point in doing so."

Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong pointed to the location of Yangquan on the map, and he said in a solemn tone.

Sun Weiguo nodded, he looked at the map and began to ponder, and the officers began to talk.

Some officers advocated concentrating their forces to fight the Japanese army a little, so as to attract Japanese troops, and sent small units to raid the Japanese baggage troops.

Some officers took the initiative to directly concentrate the troops of the whole brigade to storm Yangquan County, from Yangquan County to Meng County, and directly attacked the Japanese army's baggage troops.

Most of the officers felt that the new 2nd Brigade was now strong and strong, and even if it carried out a fierce attack with the Japanese troops, there would be no situation.

"Section Chief." While the officers were talking, a man in civilian clothes shouted softly from outside.

When Wang Kunyao saw this man, he immediately stood up, and after greeting Qin Xianliang, he walked outside.

When Wang Kunyao came to Qin Xianliang's side again, Wang Kunyao whispered a few words to Qin Xianliang, and Qin Xianliang stood up after hearing it and came directly to Sun Weiguo's side.

"Brigade commander, according to the latest information obtained by the Intelligence Section, the materials transported by the Japanese army include gasoline, weapons, ammunition and canned food, and the Japanese army has sent hundreds of trucks and hundreds of mules and horses to transport them, as for the escort troops, it is not clear for the time being." Qin Xianliang came to Sun Weiguo, and he said softly.

When Sun Weiguo heard Qin Xianliang's words, his face couldn't help but show a fine light, his eyes were fixed on the map, and his right hand was tightly clenched into a fist.

Weapons and ammunition, canned food, and especially gasoline, these are all things that the new 2nd Brigade needs at the moment.

Until now, the New Second Brigade has more than 6,000 troops, and these 6,000 troops spend a lot of money every day, and Sun Weiguo's accumulated family funds are almost eaten up.

Fortunately, the New Second Brigade has achieved a lot of achievements, and the commendations of commanders at all levels and donations from all walks of life have enabled the New Second Brigade to solve the problem of food and clothing.

But people have no long-term worries, and Sun Weiguo must solve the problem of eating these more than 6,000 troops, and he must accumulate some family funds for emergencies.

Sun Weiguo was determined to eat these Japanese military supplies, even if the Japanese army deployed four infantry wings, Sun Weiguo still had to find a way to eat them.

"The Sixth Cavalry Regiment went to Jingcheng County, Hebei Province, and we ambushed the Japanese army in Jingcheng County, and then quickly withdrew." Sun Weiguo clenched his fist with his right hand, and he slammed it hard in Jingcheng County.

Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong and Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu Jianwei immediately began to formulate a combat plan, and the General Staff Office immediately worked out the marching routes of various departments and the weapons and ammunition needed.

Political Commissar Shen Wei began to mobilize the people of Pingding County, and she asked them to prepare carts that would be used to carry captured weapons and supplies.

The troops of the New Second Brigade began to get busy, and Zhao Lerong and Zhu Jianwei quickly worked out a detailed combat plan based on the ideas provided by Sun Weiguo.

1. An ambush unit was set up with the 6th Cavalry Regiment, the reconnaissance battalion, the 2nd Artillery Battalion, and the engineer company, and the ambush troops immediately entered Jingcheng County to set up an ambush and ambush the Japanese baggage troops.

2. The 1st Regiment and the 2nd Artillery Battalion were used to set up a defensive unit, and the defensive unit was fortified in Binh Dinh County in order to create a false impression to deceive the Japanese troops.

3. The brigade headquarters is directly under the guard battalion, the special combat team is the reserve, the brigade commander Sun Weiguo carries the staff of the staff office to command the ambush troops, and the deputy brigade commander Fu Tao carries the chief and deputy chief of staff to command the defense troops.

The order began to be delivered, and the various departments quickly began to prepare, and at ten o'clock in the morning, the ambush troops under the leadership of Sun Weiguo began to set off.
