Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "If there is, then what will this goal be?" ”

"Only by figuring out this question can we judge where the main force of the Eighth Route Army will appear?"

"Then the mobile troops of the 4th, 8th, and 3rd brigades and the main force of the 9th brigade can launch a targeted attack and deal a fatal blow to the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

Chief of Staff Takayoshi Tanaka said: "Maybe the Eighth Route Army does not have a more ambitious goal. ”

"For a long time, these dirt roads only dared to harass the baggage troops that ambushed the imperial army, or sneak attacked a few small strongholds, and never dared to confront the imperial army head-on."

"This time it's nothing more than a sneak attack, and the number of small strongholds is a bit large."

"I don't think it's a big deal, because the small strongholds that were lost were able to be rebuilt or repaired very quickly."

"If you really want to do this, just endure it, and wait for the end of the battle of Zaoyi to retaliate." Yoshio Shinozuka snorted coldly, and then said, "But I don't think it's very likely." ”

"Although the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is poor,"

"Don't say that it is compared with the Central Army of China,"

"Even if it is far inferior to the Jin Sui Army."

"But compared with the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army is obviously more aggressive."

"Although the Eighth Route Army rarely attacks head-on, their ambush warfare and sparrow warfare are extremely threatening, and they will not accept it as soon as the Central Army takes advantage of it."

"So, I dare to assert that the Eighth Route Army must have a bigger goal!"

"If I'm not mistaken, they will definitely attack the first-level stronghold next, and try to break the Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road and Baijin Line."

"Of course, this is just my guess."

"The Operations Division still needs intelligence as a basis when drawing up operational plans."

Ryuichi Sakamoto suddenly said: "Otherwise, order the 3rd and 4th brigades to each send a mobile brigade to take the initiative to attack?" Lure out the main forces of the Eighth Route Army? In this way, the intentions of the Eighth Route Army were exposed. ”

"Sortie?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked rhetorically, "In which direction?" What if the Eighth Route Army avoided the battle, how many kilometers did it go out before? Boundless? All the way into the hinterland of the bandit area? ”

"This ......," Ryuichi Sakamoto was speechless.

It is not a question of which direction to attack, the problem is that most of the Eighth Route Army will really avoid the battle.

When the time comes, will the attack continue to advance or stop? It's dangerous to keep attacking and moving forward, and if you stop, you're running for nothing, so it's really tricky.

"So, let's wait, wait another day."

Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice: "If nothing else, the Eighth Route Army will reveal their true intentions tonight, and then the Imperial Army will be able to launch a counterattack." ”

The staff officers bowed their heads.

……

Baijia Village, 386 Brigade Headquarters.

It was already noon.

The brigade commander and chief of staff were having lunch.

Lunch is roasted sweet potatoes and baked potatoes, because it's simple.

The cooking class is simple to make, and they are also simple to eat, and they can eat it by baking.

The two were eating with relish, when the phone rang shortly after they had just been connected.

The chief of staff wiped his hand twice on the hem of his clothes, and stepped forward to pick up the telephone: "This is the 386 Brigade." ”

The boss's majestic voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "I am the headquarters, how is the situation of your 386 Brigade?" ”

"Oh, boss." The chief of staff hurriedly smiled and said, "The situation on the side of the 386 Brigade has not changed much, and the devil puppet army is still cowering in several large strongholds and county towns, and they dare not come out of the hole." ”

"The devil's reconnaissance plane came twice and dropped a few bombs."

"Six houses were blown up, more than a dozen villagers were injured and two were killed."

"Okay, keep on your guard." The boss snorted and said, "Order the main regiments participating in the battle on the front line not to be in a hurry to concentrate their troops, continue to be covert and standby, and never reveal their whereabouts." ”

"Yes." The chief of staff said loudly, "Resolutely obey the orders of the headquarters." ”

Hanging up the phone, the chief of staff said with a smile: "The boss is still not at ease with our brigade, he has sent three telegrams from the morning to now, and now he has called again." ”

"It's not because of Li Yunlong, the troublemaker."

The brigade commander said angrily: "This kid has already registered with the boss." ”

"Don't even say it." The chief of staff said with a smile, "Li Yunlong, this kid is a good hand at fighting, and he is not ambiguous in causing trouble, and since he got together with Wang Ye, he has become even more powerful." ”

The brigade commander said: "So I always feel that these two guys are hiding things. ”

"Oh my God." The chief of staff was taken aback and said, "Brigade commander, are you saying that Li Yunlong and Wang Ye will hide from us and the headquarters?" ”

The brigade commander shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be enough." ”

The chief of staff said again: "Then what else can be a problem?" ”

"I can't tell." The brigade commander said, "That's what worries about it. ”

The chief of staff thought for a while and said, "Brigade commander, why don't I go to the independent regiment to keep an eye on?" ”

The brigade commander was really a little moved, but in the end he shook his head and said: "Forget it, I promised Li Yunlong at the beginning that I would give him a certain degree of autonomy in action, and the brigade headquarters is indeed inseparable from you." ”

The chief of staff said no more.

……

Chengjia Town, Temporary Headquarters of the Independent Regiment.

The so-called temporary headquarters is actually an abandoned and broken kiln.

When Wang Ye first came to Chengjia Town, he and Wei Dayong's war horses were hidden here, but now this has become the headquarters of the independent regiment.

Li Yunlong was already asleep.

His snoring could be heard through the cave.

Zhao Gang couldn't sleep at all, and checked the post over and over again.

When I came out to check the post again, I happened to meet the security officer Zhu Ziming.

Zhu Ziming smiled and said, "Political commissar, why did you come to check the post again?" ”

"It's always right to be careful." Zhao Gang said, "There is nothing wrong, right?" ”

"Nope." Zhu Ziming said, "Even a fly can't fly out of Chengjia Town, what can be the problem?" ”

In Chengjia Town, the mass foundation of the villages and towns in the base area is better, and the eyes of the masses are the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, and any wind and grass can be fed back to the Eighth Route Army at the first time.

For example, if there is a person in any village who wants to tell the devil,

Before the guy could take action, the Children's Regiment killed him.

But not in Chengjia Town, which was originally a occupied area.

The mass base in the occupied areas is generally not good, and the common people are afraid of the Eighth Route Army, and there are many ruffians and even hidden traitors and lackeys who have their hearts set on devils, so they may secretly go to the devils to tell them.

Therefore, it is necessary to send troops to guard the garrison closely.

At least until the troops were transferred, the townspeople were only allowed to enter and not leave.

"It's good if you don't have it." Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But don't relax." ”

"Don't worry, Commissar." Zhu Ziming said, "Comrades know such a big thing. ”

Zhao Gang said a few more words before returning to the cave, only to find that Li Yunlong had already gotten up and was eating dry food.

At this time, it was already evening, and when it was dark, the independent regiment was about to start concentrating its forces, and then it was about to attack Niangzi Pass, and there was no time to eat as soon as the battle started.

So you have to fill your stomach now.

"Lao Zhao, hurry up and fill your stomach first."

Li Yunlong said: "There will be no time later." ”

Zhao Gang picked up the cornmeal tortillas that were simmering by the fire.

Li Yunlong asked while eating, "Lao Zhao, what time is it?" ”

Zhao Gang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "Five points is ten points." ”

"It's almost five o'clock? Half an hour before it would be dark. Li Yunlong turned his head again and shouted, "Fourth! ”

The communication squad leader entered in response and saluted: "Regiment leader, you called me?" ”

"Go!" Li Yunlong didn't say much nonsense, and directly ordered, "Immediately send a cavalry messenger to notify the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion and 3rd Battalion to assemble in the designated area!" ”

The communications cavalry was soon dispatched.

"Now it's up to Xiao Wang."

Li Yunlong turned his gaze to the east and said leisurely: "This time, whether our independent group will fight or show a big face depends on whether Xiao Wang's side can succeed." ”

"Show a big face?" Zhao Gang said, "What kind of face do you show?" ”

"Nothing." Li Yunlong's eyes flashed and he smiled, "I'm talking nonsense." ”

"No, you're not telling the truth." Zhao Gang said, "Lao Li, you have something to hide from me. ”

"No, really not, where will I hide it from you." Li Yunlong shook his head like a rattle.

"Really?" Zhao Gang was skeptical.

Li Yunlong smiled slyly: "There really isn't." ”

……

Jing Cheng is one of the eight Taihang Mountains.

During the period of the Chu and Han wars, it was once an ancient battlefield.

The story of the idiom "The Last Battle" took place in Jingjingkou, and Han Xin relied on this battle to pacify Zhao Di, which also indirectly laid the foundation for Liu Bang to pacify the world.

Two thousand years later, the well is still so steep.

The only difference is that there is an extra railway.

This railway is the Zhengtai Road that crosses the Taihang Mountain.

Due to the large drop on both sides, the technical difficulty of building Zhengtai Road is extremely high, and it is not inferior to the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, especially the section of Fenghuangling has the largest slope.

Because of the steep slope, the train is slow when climbing.

Therefore, Wang Ye chose the answering point in Phoenix Ridge.

Wang Gensheng's team had already stayed near Longwang Cave, looking for an opportunity to carry out the blasting.

Wang Ye also had to take Wei Dayong to Jingcheng County, and the rest of the team would stay in Phoenix Ridge.

Before parting, Wang Ye quietly called Wang Xikui to the side and said, "Black wolf, listen well, including the green fox, no one is allowed to act alone." ”

"I can't even do it."

"There must be more than two people."

Wang Xikui's eyes flashed, and he said, "Northwest Wolf, are you worried about ......?"

"It's not necessarily a problem, but you have to be careful." Wang Ye said, "Because this operation involves too much, and it is related to the life and death of more than 2,000 brothers in the whole group, we can't afford to be negligent in the slightest. ”

"Yes!" Wang Xikui said solemnly, "I understand. ”

"See you later." Wang Ye patted Wang Xikui on the shoulder and walked away.

"See you later." Wang Xikui snapped his feet and stood upright, saluting Wang Ye's back.

After sending Wang Ye and Wei Dayong away, Wang Xikui led the wolf team into the dense forest of Phoenix Ridge and lurked, because it was still early and he couldn't get close to the railway.

So as not to startle the snake.

……

Swallow ditch, a new group of assembly places.

Ding Wei said: "Chief of Staff, have all the battalions and companies arrived?" ”

Chief of Staff Li Xiaoxian responded: "Regiment commander, everyone has arrived. ”

Li Xiao was first a hardcore old subordinate brought over by Ding Wei from the 3rd Division, and when he first came over, he succeeded Zhang Dabiao as the commander of the 1st Battalion, but now he has been promoted to the chief of staff of the regiment.

"Map!" Ding Wei said again.

The guard hurriedly took out the map from his satchel.

Li Xiaoxian snapped and turned on the flashlight.

This is not a regular map, but a defense map of Yanzigou.

Looking at the firepower points, trenches, pillboxes and turrets marked on the map, Li Xiaoxian said: "Regiment commander, why do you even have a defense map of the Yanzigou stronghold?" ”

"That's too detailed."

"Pretty much everything is marked."

Ding Wei said: "Li Yunlong sent it to me." ”

"It was sent by Captain Li again?" Li Xiaoxian said, "Eh, Regiment Commander Li is really interesting, first sent the regiment commander four small stronghold maps, and then sent a large stronghold map, your old comrade-in-arms is interesting enough, with this map, this battle is much easier." ”

"It's not just us."

Ding Wei smiled and said: "Kong Jie's new Second Regiment, Cheng Shifa's 772nd Regiment, and all the more than 30 regiments of our 129th Division participating in the battle have such deployment maps. ”

"Huh?" Li Xiaoxian was surprised, "What's going on?" ”

Ding Wei muttered: "Li Yunlong picked more than a dozen good men from his regiment and formed a small unit, called the Wolf Warrior Squad, which is actually a reconnaissance squad. ”

"It took this reconnaissance team three months to survey more than 100 strongholds along Zhengtai Road, and then drew more than 100 defense maps."

Li Xiaoxian was surprised and said, "God, there is still such a small army? ”

Ding Weimo rubbed his chin and said: "Chief of Staff, I think so, after this battle, we will also gather the good men of the whole regiment and form a small reconnaissance unit." ”

"Such a good thing cannot be monopolized by Li Yunlong."

"Commander, I fully support it." Li Xiao said first.

"Then it's decided." Ding Wei slapped his thigh and said, "What about the political commissar?" ”

"I was just here." Li Xiaoxian said, "I don't know where to go." ”

"Then leave him alone." Ding Wei also said, "Pass on my order, all battalions and companies will immediately enter the designated position, and the artillery platoon will immediately enter the designated position to build an artillery position. ”

"Start on time at zero o'clock!"

……

Wang Ye and Wei Dayong had already infiltrated Jingjing County.

Before this, the two had been to Jingjing County many times, so they were already familiar with Jingjing County, and even the action plan had been drafted many times.

So the whole process of action is like a routine.

After entering the county seat, I went straight to a high-end apartment area.

Under the cover of night, it was easy to avoid the patrolling pseudo-police, climb through the wall more than two people high, and then go straight to one of the apartment buildings.

Guan Dahu, the head of the service section of Jingjing Railway Station, lives here.

The head of the service section is not big, but his authority is not small, and the logistics affairs of the Jingjing railway station are all under his control, including adding coal and water to the trains arriving at the station.

……

In normal times, Guan Dahu hardly works overtime.

But since the 11th armored train team was transferred to Zhengtai Road to patrol three months ago, Guan Dahu's hard days began, and every night at about eleven o'clock, he had to go to the railway station to keep an eye on it.

In the affairs of the Japanese, the big tiger does not dare to take it lightly.

But if something goes wrong, you can't save your head.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Guan Dahu walked out of the house scolding.

However, as soon as he stepped into his foreign car, two men burst out of the shadows and caught him.

Guan Dahu instinctively wanted to shout, but in the next second, he was choked by an invisible thing and couldn't make a sound.

Because the two men suddenly opened their clothes, revealing a whole row of explosives inside, and these two men actually had high explosives tied to their bodies!

If this is detonated, it will blow him to pieces!

These two men are naturally Wang Ye and Wei Dayong.

The dozen or so sections of explosives strapped to the body are naturally fake.

It's just a matter of scaring a dog traitor, and you don't need to really tie explosives to yourself.

"Two good men!" Guan Dahu was so frightened that he almost knelt down, "We have no grudges in the past and no hatred in the near future, so why is this?" ”

"Why is that?" Wang Ye said, "You dog traitor, how many evil things have you done to help the Japanese, don't you have any points in your heart?" ”

"Where to start, where to start?"

Guan Dahu swore with a curse: "I'm just eating with a mouthful, if you want to say that you have to eat some with the past business travelers, there must be, but I really haven't done anything hurtful." ”

"Really?" Wang Ye said, "You dare to swear? ”

"I swear." Guan Dahu hurriedly said, "If I have done anything hurtful to heaven and reason, then, let the Japanese arrest me tomorrow, endure all kinds of torture, and I will not die well." ”

"Looks like you're not lying." Wang Ye said again, "So you haven't forgotten that you are Chinese?" ”

"Can't forget, don't dare to forget." Guan Dahu said, "I never dare to forget that I am Chinese. ”

Wang Ye said: "Well, since you haven't forgotten that you are Chinese, do us a small favor today, treat us as small workers you temporarily recruited, and try to bring us into Jingxi Railway Station." ”

"Huh?" Guan Dahu's face immediately showed embarrassment.

"How?" Wang Ye's expression cooled, "Unwilling?" ”

"No, no, I do." Guan Dahu hurriedly said, "Of course I do." ”

"If you want, let's go." Wang Ye sat directly in the back seat of Guan Dahu.

Wei Dayong also dragged out another foreign car from the carport, and without any movement, he picked the lock of the foreign car, and then stepped onto the car with a tire leg.

Guan Dahu had no choice but to carry Wang Ye on the road.

With Guan Dahu leading the way, Wang Ye and Wei Dayong entered the station smoothly.

Then Wang Ye became a coal shovel at the station, and Wei Dayong became Guan Dahu's "follower", standing behind Guan Dahu to supervise the coal shovelers' work.

Wei Dayong doesn't have to deliberately pretend, he can be a thug when he plays in his true colors.

Those coal shovelers at the Jinghe Railway Station did not dare to look at Wei Dayong squarely.

But only Guan Dahu knows, what the hell is this follower, it's a life-seeking Hades! But he didn't dare to say that this guy had always been the fuse!

It was eleven o'clock in the evening.

With the sound of a whistle, a train slowly pulls into the train station and finally stops in front of Platform 1.

Wang Ye immediately exchanged a look with Wei Dayong, and it was the armored train of the 11th Armored Train Fleet, the Type 94 armored train composed of a total of eight carriages.

The two of them swept their eyes to the coal water truck behind them.

PS: Kneel and beg for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket.
