Kill one to make an example, let alone kill more than 20 people! It's all honest now! No matter how familiar the devil soldiers are, they look at each other as if they want to expose their own informants, and in a few days, in addition to naming and speaking, there are many people who don't say a word!

After Shimizu Dazuo cut off the head of the squadron leader, he simply didn't show his face, he was stuffed in his room, he recuperated from his injuries with peace of mind, and he didn't leave the door of the wing headquarters for seven days, and everything in the wing was handed over to the adjutant general and the law enforcement team.

And he is waiting for the weather, the whole area of the horse post under the two snows is covered with snow, the roads and small roads are not passable, to wait for the snow to melt a little and then hard, to walk, people in the north know that the snow just finished is soft, walk up and wade the snow, can not walk a few steps to get tired, after the sun comes out, the snow on the surface melts after the cold wind blows at night, frozen into a hard shell to walk up without sinking.

At present, Qing Shui has a headache for breaking through, he can feel that there are many Eighth Route Army troops around, but he can't figure out the real situation of the opponent, how many people are there? What's the number? What weapons are equipped? Wait, I basically don't know anything, the information he has at hand is still the information of the 11th Division transferred from Beiping and Baoding, which is relatively outdated.

Also, the defense line of the Eighth Route Army seems to be loose and not a system, but Shimizu Dazuo understands that these Eighth Route Operations are never fixed in one place, and they often quietly release heavy troops at key points, and many of the troops who show up on the front line are bait, teasing you to drill into the area where the heavy troops are gathered.

Therefore, if you want to break through smoothly, you must first find out the surrounding situation, and of course, there are quite a few reconnaissance planes in the air. Some intelligence was also provided. But this is mountainous after all. It is the old nest of the Eighth Road, and the Eighth Road is also good at hiding its whereabouts from the plane, and cannot take the intelligence of the reconnaissance plane seriously.

Judging from the current situation, if you want to break through, you must go through a bloody battle to stand out, if you don't plan well, you have to fall into a siege or be hunted down and exhausted, Shimizu Dazuo is such a force created by himself, and he doesn't want to see it wiped out.

The road to Laiyuan in the north is the shortest. But it is also the most rugged road, don't see that the straight-line distance of Laiyuan County is only more than 80 kilometers, but these more than 80 kilometers are separated by two mountains, five major mountains and Baishi Mountain! Listen to the name, the five major mountains, that is, the five east-west mountains and ridges across the highway, any eight roads to hold on to it, it will be a disaster.

Even after the Five Great Mountains, there is also Baishi Mountain, Qing Shui knows that the 222nd Wing is suffering a big loss here! Don't look at Baishi Mountain, which is only dozens of miles away from Laiyuan County. But for so many years, it has never been possible to occupy this mountain. Therefore, the road from Laiyuan to Zhumayi has not been opened, and the best 40 years are still from Lingqiu to Zhumayi.

So Shimizu Dazuo didn't want to bring the troops to this kind of death, he knew that in the original Wuzi battle plan, Lieutenant General Anda was preparing to send the rapid troops of the 47th Division from Laiyuan to the south along this mountain road to meet them, and now that the Eighth Route has obtained this plan, wouldn't it be self-defeating to break through along this line?

The north can't go, the south doesn't seem to work, Qingshui's wing is from the south of the horse village and the dragon king temple all the way north to the horse post, and then turn south, the deep ditch is also a road of no return.

It seems more secure to break through from the east and west, and go east to Chuankou Town, which can either go east to Mancheng or go north to Bauhinia Pass, but Chuankou Town is the primary town of the Eighth Road Yang Bangzi Division, and once the whereabouts of the troops are detected by Yang Bangzi, he will do his best to intercept himself, and it is difficult to say whether he can stand out.

Now look at the water fort in the northwest direction first, and then under the reinforcement of Lingqiu, it seems to be more certain to stand out, although this road is the longest road, there are more than 200 miles, but the terrain is relatively gentle, there are no steep mountains like the five major ridges and Baishi Mountain along the way, and there are mostly low earth beams and hills on both sides of the road, which are easy to attack and difficult to defend, even if there is an interception of eight roads, you can also rush over with artillery fire and air support.

As long as the Tang Family Garden can be taken down, it is equivalent to getting the key to breaking through from the northwest. After a few days of study, the captain and staff officers were called to check together, and they all felt that it was safe to break through from the northwest direction, after all, looking at the past few years, the troops who could penetrate into the hinterland of this mountainous area really all went from Lingqiu to the water fort and then went south to the horse post, which shows that the northwest road is suitable for long-distance maneuvering of large troops.

The direction of the breakthrough has been set, and the next thing is to reconnoiter and find out, his subordinates have been cleaned up and obedient, and the propaganda on the peripheral eight roads is still being renovated, but in the current atmosphere of the Shimizu United, no one dares to talk to Yokoyama-kun and Akiyama-kun outside.

If you go to the Tang Family Garden, you still have to go up the river, I am afraid that you will be ambushed by the eight roads on the riverbank, Qing Shui Dazuo thought about it, and decided to attack head-on and flank detour, the Tang River is now very thick on the ice, and the troops sent will not be like last time on the narrow river beach by the eight roads on the earth cliff to get caught in a hurry, just be beaten, walk from the river surface hundreds of meters wide, and suppress the earth cliff on the side of the riverbank.

This way is the open attack is actually to contain the attention of the eight roads, the side detour is the main attack force, this side detour to choose a good breakthrough, Qing Shui took a few staff officers to walk two circles of their own defense area, and finally fell on the western section of the mountain beam on the mountain Huozi, this mountain Huozi is a fracture on the mountain beam, the narrowest part of the cliff bottom can only accommodate one person to pass, overgrown with shrubs and wild grass, on both sides of the barbed wire fence, blocked by the cliff.

After comparing it, Qing Shui found that the west side of this mountain is a large plateau, probably down the platform through the ravine can go around to the hillside behind the Tang family's garden, the distance is not very long, there is a seven or eight miles of land, in order to verify it, he selected three members of the old special combat team, and climbed out of the mountain at night to reconnoitre.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, three scouts set off, climbed out of the barbed wire, went around to the south side of the platform, and gradually disappeared from Qingshui's sight.

The three little devils came back happily before dawn, saying that the road was very smooth, and there were eight roads stationed on the hill on the edge of the platform outside, but there were not many people, and they went around the ditch under the mountain without being discovered, and all the way to Tangjia Garden was a mountain road with no defense, and there were eight roads stationed on the hillside behind Tangjia Garden Village, and the number of people was not much, probably dozens of people.

The reconnaissance was very good, Qing Shui was very happy, and when he came back, he made a plan, and also reported to Lieutenant General Anda, saying that he would start to break through on the moonless night in early January, and the specific time of the breakthrough would be notified to Lieutenant General Anda at most one day in advance, in order to prevent leaking secrets after contacting too early in advance.

At the same time as they began to break through, they let the Japanese troops in Lingqiu and Laiyuan go south at the same time, Lingqiu's to attack the first line of Shuibao Township, open up the breakthrough gap of the Qingshui Wing, and Laiyuan's troops detoured along the west foot of Baishi Mountain to the east side of Shuibao Township, threatening the flank of the Eighth Road, so that the Eighth Road could not devote all its forces to the pursuit of the Qingshui Wing.

Lieutenant General Anda also accepted the lesson of the leak of the Wuzi plan last time, and the redrawn plan this time was only known to him, General Gangmura, and the division commander of the 47th Division, and a few other people, and the combat mission was not issued to the designated troops in advance.

Of course, how the Wuzi plan was leaked, the intelligence organs in Beiping are still investigating, and there is no clue at present, this Wuzi battle plan was sent to the military aircraft room in Beiping for a period of time, and it is a plan that is to be shelved, to put it bluntly, it is an invalid battle plan, waiting to be destroyed in a centralized manner, and I don't know how many people have seen it.

The leakage of intelligence and military secrets within the Japanese army has always been a very serious problem, and Lieutenant General Anda can only try his best to limit the number of people who know about the new Shimizu Wing's breakout plan to the smallest extent to prevent leakage.

There were still ten days left before Qing Shui's expected breakthrough date, and he never dreamed that even if his breakthrough plan was not intercepted by the Eighth Road, it was also detected by the cunning Eighth Road of Yang Bangzi, and the reason was because of a few series of footprints.

Although the three devil soldiers who went out to reconnoiter were indeed not noticed by the soldiers and guerrillas of the teaching brigade along the way, when they returned the next morning, they forgot one thing, their big-toed shoes stepped on the hardened snow, leaving a small but clear shoe print!

The Eight Roads and the villagers are wearing cloth shoes, and the most flat cloth shoe prints are left on the snow, while the big-toed shoes on the devil's feet are rubber-soled, patterned, and there are patterned footprints when stepped on the snow, and the guerrillas and the militia responsible for monitoring the devil's position saw the footprints on the snow in the ditch as soon as the sun came out.

Gao Yufeng came to inspect and confirmed that there were a few devils who had come out of the mountain, and when they went down to investigate, they found that this kind of footprints went from the mountain to the back mountain of the Tang family's garden, and it seemed that the devil's scouts went there to reconnoitre. As soon as the situation was reported to Yang Bangzi, Fan Daring was also assigned to come over to check it, and as soon as he went back to report, Yang Bangzi immediately decided that the devil was going to attack the Tang family's garden!

There is only one purpose for the sneak attack on the Tang family's garden, to seize the passage to Qinglonggou and Shuibao Township, and now the problem of which direction the devil who has confused Yang Bangzi for a long time has also been solved. (To be continued......)
