Chapter 194: The devil is out of the hole

Time back to the day of Lunan's recovery.

The night is quiet, and Dushan Island is quiet.

Yue Weihan and Liu Yi were standing by the radio, closely following the movements of the Japanese army in Jining and nearby.

At this time, Yue Weihan did not know what kind of impact the news of the restoration of Lunan would have on the entire Anti-Japanese War.

Second Lieutenant Hu Dan translated the telegram as quickly as possible and handed it to Liu Yi, Liu Yi hurriedly read it, and said to Yue Weihan beside him: "Luzao, Suzuki, this old devil is too cautious, he would rather we take down more than a dozen county seats, and would rather we pull out dozens of strongholds along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, but he will shrink in Jining and refuse to come out, what the fuck." ”

"It's no wonder." Yue Weihan said suddenly, "The little devil was scared by our Baoshan Brigade. ”

"Luza is right." Liu Yi nodded, and said, "Suzuki, this old devil, is also guarding us from diverting the tiger from the mountain, and he will never act rashly until the exact whereabouts of our Baoshan Brigade are detected." ”

Yue Weihan smiled slightly and said, "Wait, soon he should get out of the cave!" ”

…………

Jining, the front-line command post of the army.

Major General Suzuki was pacing back and forth anxiously in the war room, and just now, Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo, commander of the Second Army stationed in Shandong, scolded him on the phone.

However, Major General Suzuki believes that the situation in Lunan seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is not at all.

As for the strongholds and artillery towers along the canals and railways, there are Chinese laborers in the Lunan area, and when the time comes, tens of thousands of laborers will be captured and rebuilt.

All in all, in short, the key is Baoshan Brigade!

As long as the Baoshan Brigade is eliminated, all the problems will be solved!

However, where is the Baoshan Brigade hiding now? If you can't find the Baoshan Brigade, everything is out of the question.

For Nanzao Yunzi, Major General Suzuki has no hope, since the last message was sent in the morning, more than ten hours have passed now, but Nanzao Yunzi has never had any news back, it seems that her identity has probably been recognized by Yue Weihan, Yue Weihan is really powerful!

Major General Suzuki had a faint intuition that the Baoshan Brigade was lurking in the shadows not far from Jining!

After all, this is the territory of the Chinese, and it is not easy to find the whereabouts of the Baoshan Brigade!

Although Chi Dianwen's Jining Maritime Garrison (Anqing Daoyi Society) and Sun Liangcheng's Imperial Alliance Army were also Chinese, Major General Suzuki did not trust them, because the Anqing Daoyi Society was inextricably linked with Lunan's bandits, Huidaomen organizations, and major families, and Sun Liangcheng had just defected to the Imperial Army!

Therefore, Major General Suzuki would rather wait a little longer than act rashly.

…………

Outside Zaozhuang City.

Qiao Cheng Baoshan Brigade's Yanzi Army had already converged with Liu Fengsheng's cavalry battalion.

According to Yue Weihan's plan, Liu Fengsheng's cavalry battalion first dressed up as bandits, and after cooperating with the Eighth Route Army to conquer Shanting County, he quickly advanced to Zaozhuang, and the Lunan guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Route Army also sent a brigade to cooperate with the action, so that with the addition of the Yanzi Army, the middle [***] team outside Zaozhuang City reached more than 1,300 people, which was almost the size of the Baoshan Brigade.

Before they could rest, the cavalry battalion, the Yanzi Army and the Eighth Route Army began to attack the city, and the cavalry artillery company was the first to come with ten rapid fires!

At this time, there was only half a squad of devils in Zaozhuang City, more than 100 people in the plainclothes team, and more than 500 people in the puppet army.

The city gate was quickly blown open, and the Yanshan fox led the Yanzi army into the city of Zaozhuang.

In less than half an hour, the more than 20 devil soldiers who resisted stubbornly were all cleared, and Zaozhuang was recovered!

…………

Shanting County, Headquarters of the Lunan Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighth Route Army.

Peng Mingzhi had already set off with his troops, planted mines and ambushed them.

Political Commissar Wu Faxian is assigning tasks to Cao Xiuwen, deputy director of the Political Department: "Comrade Xiuwen, the more than 800 combat backbones of the Shanting County Brigade and the district and district squads have all been transferred to the detachment, and your work at the present stage is to fully mobilize the masses, propagate our party's anti-Japanese proposition, and strive to reorganize the county and district squads in the shortest possible time. ”

"Okay." Cao Xiuwen nodded and said, "Don't worry, political commissar, I promise to complete the task." ”

Wu Faxian said to Tang Shaoyi, deputy director of the Ministry of Secret Service: "Comrade Shaoyi, the focus of your work at this stage is still to find a way to contact the Yanzi Army, and you must try by all means to win this armed force into the camp of our Eighth Route Army. ”

After saying this, Wu Faxian said: "Thanks to the vigorous cooperation of the Baoshan Brigade, our army has won successive battles, and the current situation in Lunan is very good, and it is a great opportunity to fully mobilize the masses, fully strengthen our party and our army, and give the army a heavy blow, and we must not miss such an opportunity!" ”

"Yes." Tang Shaoyi replied crisply.

…………

Jining, the front-line command post of the army.

In the suffocating waiting, Captain Ozawa, an intelligence staff officer, suddenly walked into the war room with a panicked expression, and immediately suddenly retracted his feet and said to Major General Suzuki: "General, half an hour ago, the Baoshan Brigade raided Zaozhuang, and after half an hour of fierce fighting, the Ono squad guarding Zaozhuang was collectively broken, and the plainclothes team and the Imperial Allied Army were also defeated, and Zaozhuang was lost!" ”

"What?" Major General Suzuki said in disbelief, "The Baoshan Brigade raided Zaozhuang!? ”

That's not right! Isn't the Baoshan Brigade going to attack Jining? Why did you go to Zaozhuang again?

"Hello." Captain Ozawa suddenly bowed his head and said, "Before Second Lieutenant Ohno sacrificed his life for His Majesty the Emperor, he once called the headquarters and personally said that there were more than 1,000 people in the [***] team attacking Zaozhuang, and they also had a company of artillery, and the quality of the artillery was not below the imperial army, so it should be the Baoshan Brigade!" ”

"Yaga Yaru!" Major General Suzuki was furious and tore the map in front of him to shreds.

The [***] team attacking Zaozhuang actually has artillery, and the quality is extremely high, it seems that it should be the Baoshan Brigade!

After the "Order ......" was vented, Major General Suzuki gritted his teeth and said, "The 2nd Infantry Brigade, the 116th Infantry Wing, and the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Wings of Reading Force will be drawn immediately, be sure to rush to Zaozhuang before dawn, find and eliminate the Baoshan Brigade, no matter how bad they are, they must be clenched tightly, this time they must not be allowed to slip again!" ”

Suzuki still kept an eye on it and didn't play all the cards in his hand.

However, only half an hour later, Major General Suzuki realized the seriousness of the problem.

The 2nd Wing of Reading Motorized Infantry from Yanzhou, the 3rd and 4th Wing of Reading Cavalry, and the 116th Infantry Wing from Tengxian were all attacked and harassed by the Eighth Route Army and the local armed forces in southern Lunan, especially the Eighth Route Army, which planted a large number of mines on the road, which greatly delayed the marching speed of the Yue Army.

Moreover, every time the army pushes forward, the resistance will increase by a few points!

Two hours later, Wing Commander of the 116th Infantry Wing, Kakuji Nakasa, reported to Major General Suzuki that a large number of local Chinese forces were arriving from all directions, and that the Chinese local forces gathered around the 116th Wing had exceeded 5,000 men, and the only good news was that the combat effectiveness of these local Chinese forces was extremely poor enough to pose a threat.

In addition, Heze, Jinxiang, and Juye Chengxiao also appeared in the figure of the Chinese local armed forces, and the Chinese local armed forces in the Huxi area did not seem to be satisfied with the status quo, and after recovering the four counties of Shanxian, Chengwu, Dingtao, and Caoxian, they hit the idea on the heads of Heze, Jinxiang, and Juye, which were heavily guarded by devils.

Major General Suzuki, the commander of the 122nd Wing of the Japanese Army stationed in Jinxiang, Matsukamatsu Nakakasaku, asked for the initiative to attack.

In the telegram, Xiaojie Nakasa also said that the local armed forces in China are expanding at an alarming rate, and that the local Chinese armed forces gathered on the outskirts of Jinxiang alone have exceeded 3,000 people, and if the imperial army continues to wait and see what happens, the situation in Huxi seems to be in danger of getting out of control, and Major General Suzuki has finally lost his calm, and everything seems to be in chaos!

Major General Suzuki doesn't know how the situation has evolved into the way it is?

If the army does not move any longer, I am afraid that the situation in the entire Lunan will really get out of control!

Once the local Chinese armed forces that launched the rebellion exceeded 100,000 men, the situation would be difficult to contain.

No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the imperial army is, it is impossible to face such a huge Chinese armed force, not to mention that this is China, it is the territory of the Chinese, China's armed forces have been lost, and they will soon be replenished, they will only get stronger and stronger the more they fight, while the warriors of the imperial army are one less dead, so they can only get weaker and weaker the more they fight!

There is no other choice, we must cut through the chaos quickly and put down this rebellion as quickly as possible!

…………

Dushan Island, the temporary station of the Baoshan Brigade.

Another telegram was sent to Yue Weihan and Liu Yi.

The contents of this telegram were the operational orders issued by Major General Suzuki, chief of staff of the Second Army of the Chinese Army, to all units of the Chinese army, which were deciphered by Gao Jingwu, the master of the Yanzi Army, and forwarded by Major Liu Xin, the commander of the left-behind headquarters.

Moreover, this infantry brigade is not yet field infantry, but a garrison.

After reading the message, Liu Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Great, this old devil Suzuki finally can't hold his breath!" ”

Yue Weihan didn't have much excitement on his face, and ordered Hu Dandao: "Immediately telegraph this battle order of the Yue Army to the Eighth Route Army, and then telegraph to Master Gao of the Yanzi Army, and ask him to find a way to notify the local armed forces in the Huxi and Hudong areas, so that they will not fight the Yue army head-on, and must find a way to lead the Yue army to the mountain nest." ”
