Chapter 140: On the eve of the sneak attack
In order to confirm whether the map is real, he repeatedly confirmed with the intelligence personnel and sent some soldiers to observe, and the result is not surprisingly true.
"The enemy has a lot of artillery here, and a lot of machine guns here, and we have to shoot from these places first. In addition, the overall defense of the enemy army is in accordance with the old rules, there are not many troops in the direction of the county town, and the west, south, and north have the most troops, and there are a large number of lakes in these directions, and the enemy army relies on these lakes to cover the ......" Xiong Kewu took a huge Anda map that was urgently drawn and discussed with several officers how to attack the enemy.
"Commander, our army has an advantage in strength, why not attack from the east and south at the same time, so that the Japanese army cannot concentrate its forces in any place, and our army's casualties will be reduced a lot!"
"Collect fishermen's boats and send soldiers to pretend to be fishermen to kill the Japanese troops at the front, so that they will not be discovered by the enemy in advance by bypassing these scattered lakes!"
"What can we do if we solve the enemy army at the front of the shore, where are there so many ships carrying troops to occupy the enemy's position, I am afraid that I will be besieged by the enemy before we can stand firm!"
Most of the officers surrendered from the revolutionary army leaders, and they were accustomed to "democracy" and did not let Xiong Kewu continue to talk about their own opinions, as if they were possessed by a military god.
Xiong Kewu also seemed to be used to it, and waited slowly for everyone to finish speaking before speaking, "What is the noise, we are facing the Japanese army, not bandits and bandits, it is not so easy to deal with." It is necessary to get around, not only because there are not enough boats, but also how the weather now crosses the lake, and most of the troops are northerners, how many can swim? ”
"How much more information have you collected about the Japanese army?" Xiong Kewu suddenly asked the intelligence officer who was standing aside and silent.
"The magistrate of Anda County is entertaining those high-ranking Japanese soldiers according to Xu Lanzhou's instructions, more than half of the officers went to the city to have fun, and many soldiers went to the nearby villages to forage for food, and they didn't pay much attention to defense!"
"Oh, so do you want to find a way to drag the top of the Japanese army in the county seat?"
"Some of our people are arranged at the county magistrate's house, you can try it, there is no guarantee of success!"
"Whatever your reason, be sure to buy us some time!"
"Roger!" After the intelligence officer finished speaking, he walked out.
…………
The county magistrate's family, Ihara and others have returned to the barracks, and some of the troops linger in various green buildings and kilns in the county. After Ihara left, the county magistrate warned his son to dissolve the marriage with the woman after the Japanese army left, this cuckold has a bad reputation, but his son refused to agree, thinking that these were nothing and did not mind this.
Because of Ihara and his son, the county magistrate did not drive away his son's fiancée as he wished, but he didn't show any women with a face.
In the room, Liu Hong, the son of the county magistrate, and Zhao Xiaoyun, the future daughter-in-law, were arguing about something.
"Hong, I won't embarrass you, I'll go abroad when this war is over, you can find a better one!"
"No, you believe me, my father will never refuse you at that time, if it doesn't work, I'll go abroad with you!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being, let's talk about the current situation first, the plaster army has been staying in Anda for two days but has no intention of leaving at all, it's very weird. If you want to go according to plan, it's best if you can convince the county magistrate again
Invite them into the county seat and carry out a sneak attack! ”
"What is the reason for the invitation? You know, they've only just returned to the barracks! ”
"Don't forget your mom's birthday, that's a good reason!"
“……”
Liu Hong's mother couldn't stand the difficult birth when she gave birth to him, and she was always raised by his father's concubine, who was a Qinglou woman with no fertility and was particularly spoiled by Liu Hong. The county magistrate never married after his wife's death, and the concubine became his favorite, and every year he held a birthday party for the concubine who was promoted to his wife.
Soon Liu Hong had a plan, and the day after tomorrow was his mother's birthday, and that was the best opportunity.
In the Japanese battalion, Ihara was unhurriedly discussing the affairs of Longjiang Province with a kind of officer, and a messenger ran in.
"Report to Your Excellency General, news has come from the empire that our army's army left in Mudanjiang has been shattered many days ago, the northeast army has recaptured the two areas east and north of Mudanjiang, and the Chinese army has also been driven down from the north, and our army will be temporarily cut off from the back road."
After speaking, the communication soldier continued to take out a document and said: "Our army's General Ueda defeated the Northeast Army in Jilin, and so far the imperial army has lost Yan zhòng in the three eastern provinces, and the follow-up rescue army cannot keep up, and the headquarters allows us to play freely, and requires that Longjiang Province must be held." ”
All the officers took a deep breath when they heard this, not to mention that the back road was cut off, the great imperial army actually lost so much after entering the northeast and did not take any province, when did the northeast army become so powerful, this is how many years the empire has not experienced it.
Now that the empire has not yet fought head-on with the most elite army in China, it is already like this, and Ihara feels that if this war drags on, it will definitely be detrimental to the empire. Fusang's plan to enter the Northeast was not so fast according to the original, and the preparations this time were not sufficient at all, so the losses were so strict when facing the weak Northeast Army.
"Don't care about any back roads, as long as you hold Longjiang Province, the imperial reinforcements will arrive soon, and when the reinforcements arrive, Longjiang will be ours, and then go south from Longjiang, the three eastern provinces will not be able to escape!" Ihara said confidently.
"Your Excellency General, we still have a 100,000-strong Wehrmacht in front of us and 70,000 or 80,000 troops who defected from Mukden, and there is also a Wehrmacht in the north going south. One officer said worriedly.
"According to the latest intelligence I received, the general of the National Defense Force who entered Longjiang Province in the south is the general of the original Chinese Revolutionary Army, and his personal strength is not very strong, and his army has more than half of the recruits who have only been trained for a short time, as for the Northeast Army, Xu Lanzhou naturally has to deal with it, and our victory rate is not low!"
When the officers heard this, they no longer continued to worry, and the Wehrmacht, which had more recruits than veterans, could cope with it.
"Report to Your Excellency General, Xu Lanzhou sent a telegram saying that the rebels in Mukden are frantically attacking the city, and they are urgently asking for help from us, and the Wehrmacht is missing, so let the General be careful of the Wehrmacht! At the same time, the tracks and railway station of the Manchurian Railway leading to Longjiang City were destroyed and looted by bandits, and the train was paralyzed! Another communications soldier walked in and said.
Ihara frowned and asked the communication corps to retreat, he already knew that the Wehrmacht was not on the side of Longjiang City, and he was in it for this reason if he was not in a hurry, as for the destruction of the railway, he was very depressed, and without the train, they would have to walk to Longjiang Province, and the speed would slow down a lot.
"This is probably done by the National Defense Forces of China, and there are no bandits and bandits in Longjiang Province who dare to rob our railway station, let alone sabotage the railway, so the National Defense Forces of China are already coming towards us, and if it is not surprising, they will meet us soon, so that the soldiers do not relax and are ready to fight at any time!"
No one knows more about the affairs of the three eastern provinces than Fusang, and they have recorded the bandits and bandits of all sizes in Longjiang Province, and they have not heard of the bandits who suddenly appeared, and then give these bandits in Longjiang three leopards dare to touch the Manchurian Railway, combined with Xu Lanzhou's telegram, there is no doubt that the bandit is the national defense army.
…………
Xiong Kewu soon received a message from the Anda intelligence officers, he didn't expect the intelligence officers to really have a way, and finally he decided to launch a sneak attack while the Japanese military high-level went to the banquet.
The Wehrmacht immediately sprang into action, sending soldiers from the northeast disguised as farmers and fishermen to probe the terrain farther afield, and a route for night operations was soon determined.
Anda County is full of news that the current county magistrate's wife is going to hold a banquet on her birthday at this time, and the county magistrate is preparing gifts, and the county magistrate is also very happy, because it is time to attract money again, and one invitation letter after another was sent out of the county magistrate's house.
The county magistrate, who was originally reluctant to invite the Japanese army again, was persuaded by his son Liu Hong to send invitations to the Japanese officers, which made the county magistrate very painful.
Ihara, who received the invitation, agreed without shirking, and he agreed to the banquet except for the officers who were to be stationed, and prepared a big gift for the county magistrate's wife.
"I don't know if you'll forgive me! I've done everything I can, and I'm really not worthy of you! Zhao Xiaoyun hid in the corner and shook her head as Liu Hong ordered the people to arrange the banquet.
The Japanese troops outside the city rushed to the county seat with gifts, and the national defense army on the other side went to the Japanese base camp under Xiong Kewu's order, and the remnants of the sun were like blood!
Crackling, firecrackers rang out in front of the county magistrate's mansion continuously, and the neighborhood was full of people, and one by one the squires and businessmen walked into the county magistrate's mansion with invitations.
"Da Da ......"
A sound of horses' hooves came, it turned out that the Japanese officers had arrived, Ihara and others rode their horses to the county magistrate's door, followed by a small group of infantry who ran to the front of the door without saying a word to guard the door, and the remaining soldiers pulled the war horses and followed the county magistrate's subordinates to release the horses.
Ihara led people to be polite to the county magistrate for a while, and then asked people to carry a box of gifts into the gate, which at this time had gathered a large number of people with heads and faces in their own or neighboring counties, and these people immediately came up and bowed their heads and bent down to say hello as soon as they saw Ihara.
Soon the banquet began, and the Japanese officers were fascinated by the female companions brought by the squires, while the squires were laughing and smiling at Ihara.
