With tanks and trucks, the march is much faster than on foot.

It only took three hours to drive nearly 100 kilometers back to Yangcun.

The brigade commander finally had a good time and got down from the Type 97 tank with satisfaction.

Li Yunlong was still a little unsatisfied, but he could only follow down from the Type 95 light tank.

Wang Ye asked Wang Xikui and them to drive four tanks and three trucks into the small forest at the entrance of the village to hide, and told them to use tree branches to camouflage.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

In case one day the devil air force has a whim and runs to Yangcun to take a turn, it may be discovered, and if this is the case, it will be too late to transfer.

The quality of the devil aviation is really not bad.

Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions and take precautions.

Watch tanks and trucks disappear into the groves,

The brigade commander said with emotion: "It's really a good thing, when we can also have a formed tank unit, so that it will be easy to fight." ”

Wang Zhixin said that it would not be long.

It's 1940 now,

In another 9 years, there will be a fully formed tank unit.

When the time comes, you, Brigade Commander Chen, will be able to command a heavy army group of hundreds of thousands to gallop across the Central Plains battlefield.

"It's a pity." Zhao Gang also said with regret, "It's a pity that we can't get a stable supply of diesel, otherwise these 4 tanks and 3 trucks can come in handy." ”

The brigade commander said: "Zhao Gang, you reminded me when you said that. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Wang Ye looked over.

The brigade commander said: "There is no need to count on too much diesel supply, but we can still think of ways to ensure the diesel supply of 4 tanks and 3 trucks." ”

Li Yunlong said: "What way?" ”

Wang Ye said: "Is the brigade commander saying that he will buy diesel fuel from the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army?" ”

"Yes, buy it from the Jin Sui Army or the Central Army." The brigade commander said, "The price is expensive, and gold must be used, but good steel is used on the blade, and I think it is worth it." ”

Zhao Gang said: "In fact, among the military supplies donated to our Eighth Route Army by democrats from all walks of life and overseas Chinese, there are diesel gasoline and other oil, but it is a pity that our secret communication line cannot bear such a huge task of transporting military supplies, so we can only go through the national control area, but from the national control area, it is inevitable to suffer layers of deductions, and when it is transported to Yan'an and even the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, there is not much left." ”

"The commissar is right."

Wang Ye said: "The last time I went to Shanghai, I met some students on the street to raise donations, and the materials they raised were all ready to be donated to our Eighth Route Army, but in the end, these military supplies were not handed over to us, basically cheaper than the Central Army along the way, and a small amount cheaper for local troops such as the Jinsui Army." ”

"Fuck." Li Yunlong said angrily, "Doesn't that mean that the diesel fuel we bought from the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army for gold was actually donated to us by the people?" ”

Zhao Gang said: "That's pretty much it. ”

"That's not going to work." Li Yunlong became more and more angry.

"Right now, the devils are about to sweep up, so that's it,"

"But after this battle, Lao Tzu has to settle accounts with the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army."

"Li Yunlong, don't mess around, kid." The brigade commander said urgently, "Don't provoke friction. ”

"Brigade commander, don't worry, our old Li knows it." Li Yunlong showed a sly smile on his face, and said, "I must have let the Jin Suijun and the Central Army suffer a loss and still can't find fault with it!" ”

However, he soon said with a gloomy expression: "But this is not in a hurry, and I can't catch up with this anti-sweep." ”

At this time, Wang Ye smiled and said, "Brigade commander, regiment commander, and political commissar, have you forgotten our Eighth Route Army's old business?" ”

"The old business?"

Li Yunlong said: "What old business? ”

The brigade commander also said: "Xiao Wang, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"Brigadier Commander, I don't have a good idea." Wang Ye said, "But we have traditional crafts." ”

"Traditional craft?" The brigade commander and Zhao Gang glanced at each other and asked blankly, "What traditional craft?" ”

At this time, Li Yunlong reacted immediately, slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted: "Robbery, the traditional craft of our Eighth Route Army is to rob little devils!" ”

"The head of the regiment is right."

Wang Ye said: "Guarding the traffic line of the little devil, guarding the traffic artery of Zhengtai, are you afraid that you haven't eaten or drunk?" ”

After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "Not surprisingly, after the arrival of the devil's guard division, the first thing to do must be to restore the transportation of Zhengtai Road. ”

"After all, the transportation efficiency of iron falls is much higher than that of roads."

"If the Japanese army in Shanxi wants to launch a large-scale sweeping operation against our Taihang base area, it must mobilize tens of thousands of tons of military supplies."

"Zhengtai Road is an uphill road, and the capacity is not as large as that of the flat railway."

"So every time a military train pulls five or six hundred tons, it will reach the sky."

"That is to say, at least twenty or so freight trains will be taken!"

"With so many freight trains, how can we catch them once or twice?"

"And in addition to the freight train, we can also ambush the devil's truck convoy."

"Because the resumption of the Zhengtai Railway is not so fast, the little devil will definitely not be idle before this, and will definitely organize a truck transport team to deliver military supplies to Shanxi."

"If we are ambushed on the road, we have a better chance."

The brigade commander's eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded happily: "Cheng, I'll contact the underground party in Zhengding when I go back, and ask them to focus on collecting information related to military supplies." ”

"Brigade Commander, speaking of which, I have another situation report."

Wang Ye said: "Please inform the headquarters, just say that the No. 1 and No. 2 plans are invalid, and prepare directly according to the No. 3 plan, I'm afraid the headquarters organs can only evacuate the Taihang base area." ”

The brigade commander looked stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

Wang Ye stayed at the headquarters for seven days, and took a few staff officers to tinker with three sets of plans, and the brigade commander knew about it.

Among them, the No. 1 plan was that the headquarters insisted on staying in the Taihang base area, and the mobile column went out to threaten Taiyuan, forcing the Japanese troops who participated in the sweeping operation to return to the division to rescue Taiyuan.

Plan No. 2 is still insisted on by the headquarters organs.

After breaking through the blockade, the mobile column made a roundabout flank attack.

The Japanese troops involved in the sweep were forced to concentrate their forces to pursue the mobile column.

Then the mobile column led the Japanese away, and the mopping operation was abandoned.

Plan No. 3 is for the mobile column to break through the blockade line, and then hold the two wings, so as to ensure that the main forces of the headquarters organs and the Taihang Military Region break through the encirclement of the devils from the gap and jump to the outer line.

Each of these three sets of different battle plans had many plans made in advance.

Make a plan for different breakthrough directions, and make a set of plans for the different reactions that the devil may make, and the total number of zeros and zeros adds up to more than 30 plans.

But now, abandoning plans 1 and 2,

Immediately, there were only a dozen operational plans left.

At that moment, the brigade commander said again: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also cast solemn glances at Wang Ye.

"Yes, a new situation has arisen." Wang Ye nodded.

"This time we went to Taiyuan to rescue people, and we found that the devils are recruiting a large number of Japanese expatriates who know Chinese and traitor translators who can speak Japanese."

"Not only that,"

"The devils also train these translators."

"Although the interpreters who were trained at the Xincheng Military Station have been eliminated by us,"

"But the devil will definitely not stop there, and will definitely recruit more translators for training."

"In addition, we also saw a plan on the desk of the Japanese Taiyuan military police captain Shimizu Ichiro, with a report on the cover about the formation of several secret service advance teams."

Ichiro Shimizu found a plan on his desk,

Of course, this was compiled by Wang Ye in order to strengthen the persuasiveness.

But the formation of an advance team is absolutely real, and there is more than one!

"What? Agents marching into the team? The brigade commander looked stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, Agent Advance." Wang Ye said, "Although the Yamamoto special team has been killed by us, the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka is obviously a thief. ”

"Still have illusions about the special operations advocated by Kazuki Yamamoto,"

"There have even been improvements that have lowered the training standards for agents and increased the number of translators."

"If it's just one or two of these agent advance teams, it's nothing, and our Wolf Warrior Squadron will always find a way to get them out and eliminate them."

"But if it's a dozen or even dozens, it's very troublesome."

"Because special operations are asymmetrical operations, the attacker has the initiative to choose time and the battlefield, and our wolf squadron alone cannot defend against it in any way."

The brigade commander said: "Is the devil's agent advance team really that threatening? ”

"Really." Wang Ye said solemnly, "Because the devils are equipped with a large number of translators, as long as they change into the military uniforms of our Eighth Route Army, it will be difficult for the people in the base area to distinguish them even if they find them, and even the militia will not be easy to distinguish them, so that they can pass through our base area unimpeded." ”

"Then, they will be able to find our regimental headquarters, brigade headquarters and even headquarters organs."

"If the headquarters organs and the main force of the military region insist on fighting on the inside line, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid the lock-on of the devil agents' advance team, and then guide the sweeping troops to launch a precise encirclement and suppression."

"Guide the sweeping troops to accurately encircle and suppress?"

The brigade commander said: "You mean, the devil's agent advance team will also be equipped with a radio station, right?" ”

"There's no doubt about it." Wang Ye said, "Otherwise, how can you achieve rapid contact?" ”

"It's really troublesome." The brigade commander said, "Okay, I'll report to the head of the headquarters." ”

Speaking of this, he said: "Eh, no, why don't you report it yourself, Xiao Wang?" ”

"Brigade commander, we have to rush to Niangzi Pass immediately to reconnoiter the Devil Guards Division that came to help."

Wang Ye said: "Take advantage of the fact that the devil's guard division has just arrived, find out the details of their strength and weapons and equipment as soon as possible, otherwise when they enter Yangquan County, it will take a lot of effort and more time to find out." ”

"Oh yes." The brigade commander suddenly said, "Okay, I see. ”

After speaking, the brigade commander turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Yunlong.

"Brigadier, I'll discuss something with you." Li Yunlong said with a sad face.

"Is it a matter of 4 tanks?" The brigade commander said angrily.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Brigade commander, don't hand over these 4 tanks to the brigade headquarters, right?" ”

"Look at your little bit of interest." The brigade commander glared at Li Yunlong, and said, "Okay, you can keep these 4 tanks for yourself, Lao Tzu won't worry about it, okay?" ”

Li Yunlong immediately got out of the way, and said with a smile: "The brigade commander walks slowly, you go slowly." ”

"Virtue." The brigade commander scolded with a smile, and took the chief of staff and the two guards on his horse and left.

"Brigade commander, walk slowly, be careful on the road." Li Yunlong kept waving his hand until he couldn't see the brigade commander anymore.

Then he turned around and said to Zhao Gang and Wang Ye with a smile: "Lao Zhao, Xiao Wang, our independent regiment has armored troops, hahaha, not only in our Taihang Military Region, but also in the entire Eighth Route Army, our independent regiment is also the only one!" ”

Zhao Gang said with some regret: "There are not many soldiers who can drive trucks and tanks." ”

"That's a problem." Li Yunlong said, "Right now, only the people of the Wolf Warrior Squadron will drive. ”

Wang Ye said: "Regiment Commander, now we have more than 100 people in the Wolf Warrior Squadron, and it is not a big problem to transfer more than a dozen people. ”

"Really? That old man is not polite to you. Li Yunlong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said, "Then you recommend me a candidate for tank platoon commander." ”

Wang Ye said: "Why don't you have four?" ”

Wei Dayong, Wang Xikui, Wang Gensheng and Lu Changsheng, Wang Ye will definitely refuse, this is the four King Kongs under him! It's about the same as Li Sigen.

Zhao Gang said: "Li Sigen? I think it's a good fit. ”

"Cheng, it's Li Sigen." Li Yunlong said, "But the people in your wolf squadron are all baby bumps, and it's not easy for you to train them, so I just need one Li Sigen." ”

"The rest of the tank platoon, let him practice on his own."

Wang Ye didn't say much nonsense, turned around and yelled: "Li Sigen! ”

Li Sigen, who was resting under the big camphor tree at the entrance of the village, jumped up and trotted over again: "Captain? ”

"From now on, you are no longer a member of the Wolf Squadron." Wang Ye said with a straight face, "The specific duties will be arranged separately by the head of the regiment." ”

"What?"

Li Sigen jumped up when he heard this.

"Captain, I didn't make any mistakes, why should I be fired?"

"Expulsion? Who said they were going to fire you. Wang Ye said, "This is a normal transfer. ”

"Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go, I'm not going anywhere." Li Sigen said repeatedly, "I'm going to stay in the Wolf Warrior Squadron." ”

"Really?" Wang Ye smiled and asked, "What if the regiment commander wants to transfer you to serve as the platoon commander of the tank platoon?" You won't go? ”

"Huh? The platoon commander of a tank platoon? Li Sigen's heart was pounding, of course he wanted to go, but he was indeed a little reluctant to go to the Wolf Warrior Squadron.

The training of the Wolf Warrior Squadron is really hard,

But the food is good, and the war is especially enjoyable.

If you leave the Wolf Warrior Squadron, I'm afraid you won't be able to live such a good life.

At that moment, Li Sigen asked in a low voice: "Captain, can you be both the captain of the wolf squadron and the tank platoon leader?" ”

"The beauty of thought." Wang Ye scolded with a smile, "All the good things are for you Li Sigen to occupy alone?" Wolf squad leader or tank platoon leader, you can only choose one of them. ”

At this time, Li Yunlong suddenly said: "Cheng, let's leave it at that." ”

"Huh?" Wang Ye turned around when he heard the sound and looked at Li Yunlong in astonishment.

Li Yunlong said: "There are so many battalion and company-level cadres in our independent regiment, and Xiao Wang, you graduated from a regular military academy and have studied tank warfare, so I really don't feel at ease when I hand over this tank platoon to someone else's command, so I simply put this tank platoon into the wolf squadron and hand it over to you to command." ”

Wang Ye said: "But our wolf squadron is on a special operations mission, and most of the time it has to march in the mountains or even on cliffs, and the tanks can't carry it at all." ”

"That's easy to do." Li Yunlong said.

"In normal times, let the wolf squad follow your wolf squadron."

"When there is a need for a tank platoon to fight independently, let the four with a dozen people serve as tank soldiers, so that the problem will be solved?"

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "I think it's okay." ”

"Okay." Wang Ye also nodded, "That's it." ”

Li Yunlong said again: "That's okay, Xiao Wang, you continue to be busy, and Lao Zhao and I won't bother you." ”

After speaking, Li Yunlong walked slowly with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune that he didn't know what tune, and Zhao Gang encouraged Wang Ye to leave with a few words.

Wang Ye grabbed the whistle and blew it.

Suddenly, a shrill whistle burst into the sky.

"Wolf Warrior Squadron, all assemble! Urgent gathering! ”

……

At the same time, at the headquarters of the 1st Army in Taiyuan.

The list of losses from last night was finally counted and sent to Yoshio Shinozuka's desk.

The chief of staff of the 1st Army, Takayoshi Tanaka, has been officially relieved of his post by Yoshio Shinozuka, and now the post of chief of staff is temporarily replaced by Ryuichi Sakamoto, chief of the Operations Division.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

Ryuichi Sakamoto opened the folder and read: "Last night, the list of losses caused by the attack of the underground forces of the Eighth Route Army on the Taiyuan Xincheng Railway Station, Xincheng Military Station, and Xincheng Airport is as follows. ”

"There are 586 imperial soldiers, including 51 officers above the second lieutenant level."

"The more than 100 Japanese-Chinese translators who were prepared for the advance team were also killed."

"More than 50 Japanese comfort women and more than 30 Korean comfort women in the comfort station were also killed."

"One Type 97 medium tank, three Type 95 light tanks, and 15 Type 6×6 Type 94 military trucks produced by Isuzu Company were robbed."

"Another 12 Type 95 light tanks were destroyed."

"The runway of Xincheng Airport, the aviation club and other airport facilities have been basically destroyed."

"Fifteen Type 96 land attack planes were destroyed, 17 Type 97 fighters were destroyed, and more than 190 tons of aviation kerosene stored at the Xincheng Airport oil depot were also destroyed."

"Also, Ichiro Shimizu, the captain of the gendarmerie and the head of the special high section, also sacrificed his life for the empire last night."

"He's dead!" Yoshio Shinozuka gritted his teeth and said, "If this idiot hadn't been clever enough to transfer the intelligence personnel of the CCP's underground party to the military station, how could he have provoked these things?" ”

Then his eyes turned to Takuya Mizuhara, who was already the head of the special high section, and Yoshio Shinozuka asked again: "Mizuhara-kun, have you found out anything about the gang of militants last night?" ”

"Hello." Takuya Mizuhara nodded slightly.
