Chapter 63: Opportunity

In order to complete the task issued by the headquarters, they temporarily transferred a large number of Japanese puppet troops from Lishi, Lanxian, Jiaocheng, Fangshan and other places in Luliang to move to Wuxiang, and this mixed force of more than 7,000 soldiers was commanded by a big man named Goro Hashimo. At this time, the new official Hashimoto Masa was losing his temper with a blue face, and the reason for his anger was very simple, that is, the troops who went out to look for mules and horses returned empty-handed:.

"Baga, why can't even a mule or horse be found with so many people? Why? Gorou Ita, Hashimoto, saw a squadron leader who had returned empty-handed again, and roared loudly at everyone in the headquarters.

"Hi, Your Excellency, I have searched all the villages within a radius of 20 miles with my troops. But except for the people in the village, there is not a single mule or horse in sight," Facing Goro Hashimoto, who was full of anger, the Japanese squadron leader replied in a low voice.

"Baga, it must be the damn dirt eight roads, they must have taken away the mules and horses in the people's homes, the eight grid tooth roads, the people of the branch are dead and bad," Goro Hashimoto said hatefully, and sat down on the stool of the headquarters. Although Goro Hashimoto is a big Zuo, he has only just been transferred from the Hebei Theater, and the mules and horses in the area of Luliang are either hidden by the people, or they are stewed by the Japanese puppet army.

"Your Excellency, it seems that it is impossible to find enough mules and horses. But we have to find a way, and tomorrow we have to go. Today, in one day, we have received three urgent telegrams from His Excellency the Commander, all of which ask us to speed up the march and hurry to Wuxiang as soon as possible," Seeing that Goro Hashimo's mood calmed down a little, the chief of staff standing on the side hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

"I know we've lost a lot of time. However, without enough mules and horses, our artillery, and our baggage, we could not carry forward with the troops. Especially the baggage ammunition, without these, when we meet the thunderous troops, what will we use to fight a decisive battle with the other party? After listening to the words of the chief of staff, although Goro Hashimoto understood the truth, he still shook his head helplessly.

"Dazuo, but His Excellency Commander's order is that if we can't leave tomorrow, he will re-appoint a Dazuo to take your command," the Chief of Staff reminded again in a low voice. "I think it's going to be a good one for the fight we're going to face. We have to carry the baggage ammunition of the baggage wing, but it is really not possible, our 92 infantry guns and 75 mountain guns can be dragged by the soldiers first, and on the way to Wuxiang, we will pass through many villages and towns of the Zhina people, and we can collect mules and horses while marching," the chief of staff suggested.

"Yo Xi, thank you Asakusa-kun for the reminder, your proposal is very good, and the reason is very strong. I have decided that we will set off immediately, and collect the mules and horses of the people of China as we go" After listening to the chief of staff's explanation, the division commander suddenly opened his hut and immediately nodded in agreement. The mixed forces of the Japanese puppet army, which had been assembled for a long time, finally marched towards Wuxiang, but their speed was too slow, and the heavy weapons and supplies carried by the army held them back.

"Let's go, let's go back" The last Japanese soldier disappeared at the end of the road, and a dirt bag suddenly rose on the dirt slope in the distance, and as the dirt bag slowly bulged and cracked, a young face suddenly appeared, and Wang Chen, who was covered in dirt, crawled out of the dirt pit. After taking Laiyuan County, Willis's infantry regiment was busy recruiting mules, horses and people to build an airport, and the regiment of the national army was also busy arranging a defensive line on the front line of the Xiangshui River.

"Don't rush me, I haven't finished writing this yet" Tian Lin, a little man lying in the dirt pit next to him, was dissatisfied with Wang Chen kicking his ass and muttering quietly. In the notebook in Tian Lin's hand, he remembered the weapon configuration and number of those Japanese puppet troops who had just left, and the Japanese army in Luliang had mobilized troops in such a big move, and Wang Chen, who was cruising in this generation, had already gotten the news, and before dawn, Wang Chen and they quietly hid on this mountain, and waited for a whole morning before they could figure out the information they wanted.

"Captain, I asked clearly, this group of Japanese puppet soldiers went to Wuxiang, it seems that our people beat down Ding'an and Wuxiang, they are going to the rescue" Wang Chen They came down from the earthen hill, and easily caught a single Imperial Cooperative Army, this kid has a translator's brother-in-law, and he knows more than the ordinary Imperial Cooperative Army.

"Wuxiang and Ding'an were beaten down by our people?" Wang Chen was a little dazed, he was recruited into the mercenary army by Zhao Zhi in Shanghai, this kid from the northeast was not very familiar with Shanxi. He had only seen Ding'an and Wuxiang on the map, but in fact, he didn't even know how to get to these two places, and he would suddenly hear that there had been a thunderous army to take these two places, and Wang Chen was a soldier of a hundred battles, and he also felt a little incredible.

"Captain, what are we going to do now?" Tian Lin grabbed a handful of loess and rubbed the blood stains on his hands, the six of them had been out for several days, and they had also gone around in a big circle in the Luliang area, Tian Lin wanted to go back to Laiyuan.

"Let's not be in a hurry to go back first" Seeing Tian Lin's thoughts, Wang Chen smiled and rewarded Tian Lin with a burst of chestnuts, "Immediately use the radio to contact Zhangwu County and ask if there are any of our people who have gone to Ding'an and Wuxiang" Wang Chen is also a guy with a fast head, carefully pondering the news that he just asked from the mouth of the Emperor Xiejun, and looking at the location of Ding'an and Wuxiang on the map, Wang Chen was a little impatient to ask Tian Lin to contact Zhangwu County.

Yu Dazhi has been away from Zhangwu County for a long time, only old mercenaries like Wang Chen and others know the news of Yu Dazhi's presence in Yangquan, and then contact the location of Ding'an and Wuxiang, Wang Chen is a little convinced that what the Emperor Allied Army said is true. If things don't go well on Yu Dazhi's side or if there is a new plan, Mr. may really send someone to Ding'an and Wuxiang to respond to Yu Dazhi in Yangquan, Wang Chen now needs to urgently verify this news.

The radio ticked and ticked, Wang Chen, who was squatting next to Tian Lin, was smoking a cigarette, the Japanese army had transferred more than 7,000 Japanese puppet troops from Luliang, and his own husband had always liked to win more with less, so the Japanese puppet army ran to Ding'an, I don't know if the people sent by Mr. can bear it. "Captain, it was said that Mr. personally led the team to Ding'an this time, and Mr. only had less than 100 brothers and 4,000 big noses around him" Tian Lin translated the received message and handed it to Wang Chen, but Wang Chen didn't have the heart to read it for himself, he just motioned for Tian Lin to read it to him.

Knowing that it was Zhao Zhi who personally led the team to Ding'an, Wang Chen's heart was a little lighter, 4,000 well-equipped Jewish soldiers were not so easy to deal with, not to mention that there were dozens of mercenary brothers by Mr.'s side, but he couldn't defeat the more than 7,000 puppet troops from Luliang in the past, and it should be no problem to save his life. "Ask Mr. over there for the radio band, and tell them that we have important information to inform Mr." Now that he knew that Mr. was in Ding'an, Wang Chen thought about informing Zhao Zhi of the weapons, equipment and number of the puppet army of Lu Liangri.

"Captain, I contacted Mr. and them, saying that our people have arrived in Pingyao, and let us find out the movements of the puppet army in Luliangri, how should I reply over there?" Contacting Zhao Zhi and them, who were far away in Pingyao, Tian Linle couldn't close his mouth, and he could see his throat when he smiled, and asked Wang Chen stupidly what to do.

"Silly you, hurry up and reply to the things you just wrote down in the small notebook over there, and tell Mr. They should prepare early" Wang Chen glared at Tian Lin faintly, this kid is all right, but sometimes he will be confused, isn't it just to contact Mr. Zhangwu County by radio to report the information he just obtained, as for asking himself what to do?

"Let's go, let's go back to Laiyuan to find the squadron leader" Put the received message into his pocket, Wang Chen repeatedly beckoned the others to pack up their things and hurry up to Laiyuan. After the telegram from Pingyao was translated by Tian Lin, Wang Chen just took a rough look, and his husband had already expected that the Japanese army would send troops from Luliang to Wuxiang and Ding'an, just like the telegram said, after the Japanese army transferred a large number of troops from Luliang to Wuxiang, the Japanese puppet army in the entire Luliang area would be empty because of this rescue.

Willis has been waiting for the opportunity according to Mr.'s orders, isn't the departure of the puppet army more than 7,000 days a good opportunity, these days Wang Chen has walked a lot in the Luliang area, and has a general understanding of the deployment of the Japanese puppet army in the Luliang area, the Japanese army accounted for half of the 7,000 puppet army just now, and the Japanese army in the Luliang area cut out the more than 3,000 people who left today, and there is not much left, Laiyuan has 4,000 big noses plus the infantry regiment of the national army, It shouldn't be a problem to capture Lu Liang, and Wang Chen is now in a hurry to return to Laiyuan to report the news.

"Sir, Wang Chen of the scout detachment contacted us on the radio, saying that when they were lurking on the front line of Luliang, they found that the Japanese army in Luliang had transferred more than 7,000 Japanese puppet troops to make a mixed unit, and their destination was Wuxiang, and they had already set off at noon today, this is the information sent by Wang Chen's reconnaissance, and it is the weapon configuration and number of this group of Japanese puppet troops" The newspaper soldier received the information sent by Tian Lin, so he hurriedly ran to hand it over to Zhao Zhi, and at this time Zhao Zhi was making a plan with Xiao Ziyun and them to meet the enemy.
