The three battalions of the 62nd Regiment, nine companies, and the military commanders were all here, listening to Yin Zuogan's eloquent talk, but Feng Yi's eyes crossed the Taihu Lake and stared at Changzhou and Wuxi, which were only more than 60 kilometers away from Yixing.

Attacking Yixing at night, it is impossible for the devils to quickly reinforce through Taihu Lake, because the water surface of Taihu Lake is not easy to walk, there are countless small islands, but Changzhou and Wuxi are different, the devils must have troops here, and there will be no less, they can also quickly support by road, more than 60 kilometers, if the devils are transported by truck, at most three hours, the fastest two hours, you can reach Yixing, at this time I am afraid that waiting for the 62nd regiment is a catastrophe.

"Regiment commander, attacking at night, the devils can't quickly reinforce through Taihu Lake, but what about the reinforcements of the devils in Changzhou and Wuxi, they have a large number of trucks."

Feng Yi pointed to two points on the map to remind Yin Zuogan.

"The devil has less than one squadron of troops in Yixing, more than 200 people, and more than 2,000 people in our 62nd regiment, as long as one charge can be taken, and by the time the devil reacts, we will run away a long time ago."

The commander of the first battalion shook his head and reminded Feng Ye not to forget their current strength.

"Yixing has a city wall, according to intelligence, there are seven city gates, and there is a small Longbei Mountain in the south of the city, the mountain is very suitable for defense, whether the devil will have troops stationed here, these are all to be considered clearly; And if we can't take Yixing in two hours, how do we withdraw after the devil's reinforcements, I think we have to consider these issues first, the art of war has clouds, and we can not lose before we win, so we can not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

Feng Yi did not flinch in the slightest, and said his opinion, the war is together, it is impossible for all situations to go the way the 62nd Regiment expected, this is the life of more than 2,000 brothers, and it cannot be a victim of the negligence of the officers.

"The reconnaissance platoon will find out about these situations tonight, and I called you over to prepare for the opening after you go back, and you don't need to bring extra things, the brigade headquarters will help us transport them to Longjie Jianshan, let's dismiss."

Yin Zuogan waved his hand to announce the dismissal of the meeting, the situation is unclear now, the combat meeting is indeed a little early, and he can only wait for the reconnaissance platoon to bring back detailed information.

It was not yet dark, Feng Ye led the third company to follow the team through the mountains and forests, bypassing Tianmu Lake from the south, they needed to walk fifteen kilometers to reach the foot of Longjie Jian Mountain, and at this time the reconnaissance platoon of the regiment headquarters had already set off, taking advantage of the night, to reconnoiter in the Yixing area.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the hometown of corn in modern China, Yixing as the county seat by the Taihu Lake, through the Taihu Lake is Suzhou, there are many small towns walking around Yixing, maybe because the devils are in a hurry to prepare for the battle of Xuzhou, maybe because they are busy enjoying in the big city, their tentacles have not yet reached this kind of town, because at this time they have no puppet army except for the northeast.

However, there is no shortage of wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who take the initiative to take refuge in the Japanese, especially those wealthy businessmen who have children who have studied in Japan, it is much simpler, through classmates, teachers, etc., they quickly hooked up with the Japanese, and the Chinese government lost control of this area, so naturally they wanted to find a new backer for their lives, and the strong military strength of the Japanese naturally made them quickly stick.

Naturally, they give a lot of things, such as money, food, women, and worthless loyalty; Although loyalty is not valuable, their intelligence is really needed by devils, and even their families already have devils' spies mixed in.

The reconnaissance platoon completed the reconnaissance at night, and in broad daylight, carrying guns and wearing military uniforms, walked through the wilderness, and was soon discovered by the surrounding people, of course, the brothers of these reconnaissance platoons could not distinguish that it was a devil's spy agent, and they also thought that their actions were very secretive.

"Commander, the devils closed all the gates at night, there was a bonfire outside the city, and there were no patrolling devils on the city walls, I don't know if they were hiding behind the battlements, or if we avoided their patrols; There are no devils in Longbei Mountain, but there are many trenches and field fortifications, which look like they were built by our people, and they are full of craters and have traces of artillery bombardment. ”

At the foot of Longjie Jian Mountain, Yin Zuogan was checking the investigation situation of the reconnaissance platoon commander, and there was definitely more than one reconnaissance unit he had dispatched.

"Have you ever been discovered by the devil?"

Yin Zuogan asked.

"No, we didn't dare to go into the city, we just looked outside the city, and the brothers didn't even fart."

The reconnaissance platoon commander shook his head, he always kept in mind the regiment commander's instructions, he must not be exposed, and the devil must not be alerted.

"Okay, let's go down and rest"

One day and one night, a hundred kilometers back and forth, the brothers who reconnoitred were tired enough, but fortunately they brought back very valuable information.

Yixing, the Japanese garrison headquarters, the squadron leader took the latest information he had gotten, and felt a little incredible, because within a hundred kilometers of Nanjing, there had been no Chinese troops for a long time.

"Wearing a steel helmet, wearing a military uniform, and a formal rifle, this is the equipment only available to China's most elite troops."

The squadron leader shook his head, picked up the intelligence and put it down, he was very skeptical of the accuracy of the information.

"Your Excellency, the information of the special high class."

Another devil walked in and handed the squadron leader the same information.

"War Briefing"

"More than 100 corpses were found in Xuanguang, all of them were killed by local armed forces who had defected to the Japanese Special High School, and according to the analysis of the intelligence department, it is suspected that the Chinese government army did it, and it is suspected that an unknown number of troops have entered Jiangsu, and the garrisons in various places are requested to strengthen their vigilance."

All kinds of information gathered on the desk of the squadron leader, making this officer who only knows how to fight a very big head.

"Let the people from the special high class come over, let them confirm, and then give me an accurate reply, the number of Chinese scouts and the number of Chinese troops entering the Jiangsu area."

The squadron leader held his forehead and handed a stack of things to the officer next to him, he himself didn't understand these twists and turns, he still liked the atmosphere on the battlefield.

"Damn garrison duty, this should be a matter for the domestic reserves."

The officer cursed, then looked at the sunset outside, it was already getting dark.

"Bang, bang, bang"

There was a knock on the door, and the squadron leader had just poured himself a glass of sake and was enjoying dinner.

"Come in"

The squadron leader furrowed his brows, he hated it very much that his meal time was disturbed, and if the person who came in couldn't give himself a reasonable explanation, he would definitely slap the other party a few times.

"Squadron leader, according to various intelligences, there is indeed an unknown number of Chinese troops entering the Suzhou-Anhui region, and the preliminary estimate will not be less than two regiments; The scouts who appeared around Yixing this morning were about thirty people, and according to the Chinese establishment, it should be a platoon; If the Chinese army is really preparing to attack Yixing, I am afraid that the strength of the army will not be less than one regiment. ”

The incoming officer of the special high class reported to the squadron leader.

In their telecommunications wave verification, they quickly deduced the general situation, according to the Chinese's military configuration at all levels, a platoon of reconnaissance soldiers can only be photographed by the main force.
