Early the next morning, the four main regiments of the 386th Brigade or the mobile column, the 772nd Regiment, the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment, and the Independent Regiment, were divided and marched in the same direction.

Two days later, the four main regiments quietly entered a small mountain village called Gushanzhai.

Near Gushanzhai is the old base area, and a company of the 129th Division created a base area in Gushanzhai at the end of 37, so the mass base is very good.

After the end of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the little devils fought back.

The county seat of Jingcheng, the county seat of Houlu and many villages and towns along Zhengtai Road fell again, but Gushanzhai withstood many crazy counterattacks by the Japanese army and persevered.

In this ambush, Gushanzhai will play a key role.

It will not only become a staging point for the 386 Brigade, but also a material transit point.

Tomorrow afternoon, the four main regiments of the 386th Brigade will set off from Gushanzhai to Tumen Pass, 20 kilometers away.

Once successful, the 300 tons of materials carried by 2,000 mules and horses will also be transported to the Taihang base through Gushanzhai, so the status of Gushanzhai is really very important.

At this meeting, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Cheng Shifa, and other four regiment commanders and Wang Ye were holding a meeting to discuss the deployment of troops for the ambush and the blockade.

In order to protect the flanks, it was impossible for all four regiments to go to Tumen Pass to fight an ambush.

And it doesn't take four regiments to ambush, at most two regiments can go.

The remaining two regiments are used to block the attack, because after the devils hear the news, they will definitely quickly mobilize troops to copy the retreat route for them to withdraw to the Taihang base area, so it is necessary to leave enough troops to block the attack.

Wang Ye said: "It is enough to ambush at Tumen Pass with a maximum of two regiments, and the remaining two regiments are used to block the devil reinforcements in Jingcheng County and Pingshan County, so as not to be intercepted by the little devils." ”

"I agree." Ding Wei said, "If you don't think about winning, you should think about defeat first, and you must protect the back road." ”

"I agree." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "However, our independent regiment will definitely go to Tumen Pass." ”

Cheng Shifa also said: "Our 772nd Regiment is the first-class main force of the 386th Brigade, and we will definitely go to Tumen Pass to ambush, and none of you are allowed to rob Lao Tzu." ”

"Why?" Kong Jie slammed the dry tobacco pipe to the foot of the table and snorted, "I don't agree." ”

Ding Wei also said: "That is, why should a good thing go to your independent regiment and the 772nd regiment, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, where is our new 1st regiment worse than your two regiments?" ”

"Yes." Kong Jie said, "Which of us is worse than you?" ”

Seeing the four regiment commanders arguing there, Wang Ye suddenly felt that the brigade commander was really clever.

The brigade commander decided not to follow, it was really a wise decision, otherwise he would definitely be annoyed to death by these four guys, and whoever the fuck ambushes and who will fight to block the attack? Interesting?

What else you can't fight?

Now that they have all joined forces, they are not working alone, so there is a difference between who ambushes and who blocks? If you get the benefits, aren't you fighting together? Is there a difference?

Wang Ye said: "I said the four big chiefs, who ambushes and who blocks, is there a difference?" ”

"Nonsense, how is it that there is no difference?" Li Yunlong said, "To fight an ambush is to attack the main attack, to fight a blocking attack is to fight an auxiliary, is it the job of the main force to do it?" ”

"Lao Tzu's independent regiment is a well-known main regiment."

"Let our independent regiment use the big and small to assist, Lao Tzu can't afford to lose that person."

Cheng Shifa said: "That's right, let our 772 regiment play auxiliary, Lao Tzu can't afford to lose this person." ”

Kong Jie said angrily: "What I said, you can't afford to lose this person, can Lao Ding and I afford to lose people?" ”

"Brothers, listen to me." Ding Wei waved his hand and said, "If you keep arguing like this, it will definitely not solve the problem, I think it is still according to the old rules and draw lots." ”

"To catch a block is to hit a block."

"Catching an ambush is an ambush, what do you think?"

"Eh, Lao Ding, don't mention the lot." Kong Jie said angrily, "The last time I drew lots, what you kid wrote on the four slips of paper was all playing assistance. ”

"It's in vain that Lao Cheng and I believe in you so much,"

"But you kid is playing our brother like a monkey."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie was so angry that he pointed at Ding Wei with a dry tobacco pipe.

"Nonsense!" Ding Wei naturally denied it, and he couldn't admit this kind of thing.

"Who said that my four notes are all written to play auxiliary, you are a bloody spurt."

"Don't deny it." Kong Jie said angrily, "Last time I drank, Lao Li drank too much this dog's day, and he threw it all away, and he said that the note he caught later was also written on the assistant." ”

Ding Wei glared at Li Yunlong and scolded: "This dog's drunken talk." ”

"Yes, yes, I drank too much, and I was drunk at the time." Li Yunlong said busily.

"Anyway, Lao Ding, your credibility with me has gone bankrupt." Kong Jie snorted, "Even if you want to draw lots, these four notes can't let you write them, ask Xiao Wang to write!" ”

Cheng Shifa said: "Yes, let Xiao Wang write." ”

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong could only agree.

Wang Ye really didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but he couldn't hide from it.

At that moment, Wang Ye tore a page from the notebook, tore it into four pieces, and wrote on it two pieces of paper each, namely ambush and blockade, and then crumpled them into balls and grabbed them in the palm of their hands for them to grasp.

As a result, the 772nd Regiment and the new 2nd Regiment were ambushed.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei only caught the attack, and they were immediately angry.

Li Yunlong was about to scold people if he was not happy, and immediately scolded Wang Ye: "Xiao Wang, what's the matter with your dog's day?" You're still not part of our independent group? How do you turn your elbows outward? Rise? ”

Wang Ye's face immediately darkened, can I be blamed for this?

Kong Jie took the opportunity to fall into the well and said: "Xiao Wang, you have also seen it, Lao Li is a dog, he will turn his face when he says that he will turn his face, and if he is in a bad mood, he will scold his mother, what is the meaning of following this dog day?" ”

"Why don't you come to our new 2nd regiment, if you agree with Lao Tzu, you will make a report."

Cheng Shifa suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "Xiao Wang, there is a fart meaning to go to the new 2nd regiment, that is, a new regiment, in terms of qualifications, it is far worse than our 772nd regiment, if you want to come, come to our 772nd regiment, I dare not guarantee anything else, but there is absolutely no problem with giving you the position of the main battalion commander." ”

"Lao Cheng, what do you mean by that?" Kong Jie was furious.

"I'm not interesting." Cheng Shifa said, "Just tell the truth. ”

Yes, before Li Yunlong and Wang Ye could say anything, the two who dug into the corner of the wall quarreled first.

Wang Ye didn't bother to pay attention to it, and walked to the communication room next door, only to see Li Xia debugging the radio station.

Li Xia has officially taken up the position of captain of the fox wolf squad of the wolf squadron, and there are only three people in the fox wolf squad for the time being, except for Li Xia, there are only Cheng Yue and Cheng Kui.

Liu Xiaoshan, Yuan Lang and Heipi, the three Wenzhou soldiers, were only seconded and did not belong to the Wolf Warrior Squadron.

"Team King." Seeing Wang Ye coming in, Li Xia nodded slightly, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

Wang Ye said: "How is it?" Questions? The straight-line distance from here to Taiyuan is a bit far. ”

Li Xia said: "No problem, before leaving, I modified it, the power has doubled, the communication distance has increased from the previous 100 kilometers to 200 kilometers, and the signal is enough to cover Taiyuan." ”

As he spoke, the green indicator light of the radio station lit up, and Li Xia said with a smile: "It's done." ”

Li Yunlong, Cheng Shifa, Ding Wei and Kong Jie came over one after another, although they only knew a little Japanese, they still couldn't help but want to listen to Wang Ye and Shinozuka Yoshio.

"Massie Massie." Wang Ye grabbed the earpiece and said into the microphone again, "Call Shinozuka-kun, call Shinozuka-kun, please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it." ”

……

Taiyuan, headquarters of the 1st Army.

Yoshio Shinozuka is pacing back and forth in the communications class.

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka's heart was a little expectant and a little apprehensive.

How to describe it? It's like a gambler in the casino, who peeks at his opponent's hole cards through cheating, obviously his heart is already full of ecstasy, but on the surface, he still has to pretend to be unhappy.

Yoshio Shinozuka really wanted to chat with the prince through the radio station, but he was afraid of startling the snake and reminded the prince that it would not be beautiful if the prince canceled the plan to ambush the military column.

However, the counter-ambush plan against the Eighth Route Army had already been deployed.

In order to keep it as secret as possible and reduce the number of people involved in this plan, Yoshio Shinozuka even avoided the combat section and entrusted the entire combat operation to the special high division.

In the communications section, only a few communications staff officers such as Kosuke Chida knew about it.

Yoshio Shinozuka is still worried about the spy lurking in the headquarters.

Before the special high class finds out this spy, everything must be careful.

Just as Yoshio Shinozuka was pacing, Kosuke Chida, who was guarding the radio, suddenly stood up.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Chida Kosuke held the microphone and earpiece and said, "The prince of the Eighth Route Army has asked to talk to you. ”

"Oh, really?" Yoshio Shinozuka was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately walked over in a hurry, taking the microphone and earpiece from Chida Yuki's assistant.

However, when facing the microphone, Yoshio Shinozuka quickly regained his composure.

As a high-ranking general, Mount Tai collapsed without changing color, which is just the most basic quality.

"Hello Lord Wang, I'm Yoshio Shinozuka." Yoshio Shinozuka smiled, "We meet again." ”

The prince smiled and said, "Shinozuka-kun, have you been waiting for me to call you just now?" ”

"Nani?" Shinozuka Yoshio was shocked when he heard this, and he forced himself to calm down, "I've been looking forward to talking to you on the phone, and I'm even more looking forward to you seeing the situation clearly and making the wisest choice." ”

"I remember that you have a wise saying in China."

"Let the good birds choose the trees to perch on, and the good ministers choose the lord to do things."

"With all due respect, the rotten national government is not worthy of your allegiance."

"The great Japanese Empire, which is full of vitality and the rising sun, is the hope of all the peoples of East Asia."

The prince on the opposite side interrupted: "Shinozuka-kun, when it comes to you and me, why do you have to talk this nonsense again?" ”

"Hello." Yoshio Shinozuka was silent on his face, but he was ecstatic in his heart, because the prince inadvertently revealed a very important information, as he guessed, the prince's status in the Eighth Route Army is very high, so he will say that you and I are in this position, it seems that he is the second person in the Eighth Route Army.

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka pressed down and asked happily, "So, what do you want to say?" ”

Wang Ye said: "I just want to inform you that we are going to take offensive action again." ”

"Really?" Yoshio Shinozuka smiled in his heart, I have already seen through everything about you.

However, on the surface, Yoshio Shinozuka is still uneasy: "I don't know where you are going to fight this time?" ”

Wang Ye said: "I can only tell you that it is near Shouyang, but you can't say too much about the specifics, in short, you should prepare early, otherwise when you suffer a loss, you will complain that I did not inform in advance." ”

"Shouyang?" Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly felt a pang in his heart when he heard this.

Almost subconsciously, Yoshio Shinozuka remembered the last time.

Last time, the prince said that they were going to ambush the transport team in the Niangziguan section.

In the end, the Eighth Route Army really ambushed the transport team in the Niangziguan section.

This time, the prince said that they were going to take an offensive operation in Shouyang,

Yoshio Shinozuka can't help but worry, in case what the prince said is true?

Inexplicably, Yoshio Shinozuka has a sense of powerlessness to be dominated.

Speaking of which, the strategy adopted by the Japanese army now is too passive, and passive defense is doomed to no way out, so it is still necessary to make preparations as soon as possible and launch a large-scale sweep of the Taihang bandit area as soon as possible!

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Yo Xi, this time I will take precautions seriously." ”

"Really? I don't think you're going to take it seriously. The prince smiled, "In short, after you suffered a big loss, don't blame me for not reminding you, haha." ”

"That's it, we're going to pull out."

After saying that, the opposite side cut off communication.

Putting the receiver and microphone back on the radio, Yoshio Shinozuka's brows furrowed.

After a long time, Yoshio Shinozuka asked Chida Kosuke, "Chida-kun, what do you think the prince will mean?" ”

Chida Kosuke said without thinking: "I think this is a plan to attack the east and the west, the prince deliberately said that he was going to take offensive actions near Shouyang, just to attract the attention of the imperial army to the vicinity of Shouyang, but their real intention is definitely to ambush the military column in the east section of Niangzi Pass." ”

Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Are you so sure? ”

"Hello." Kosuke Chida paused, "But mine is definitely based on technical means, and guessing. ”

"Oh, based on technology?" Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly became interested and asked, "Tell me about it." ”

"Hello." Kosuke Chida paused again and said, "Your Excellency Commander, the three radio stations captured by the Eighth Route Army from the Yamamoto Special Forces, the Observation Group, and the 9th Brigade are the same model as ours, and the maximum effective communication distance that can be achieved is 100 kilometers. ”

"No matter how far away the distance is, the signal strength will decay dramatically."

"I'm afraid there won't be a way to make effective calls."

As he spoke, Kosuke Chida drew a line on the map.

This line is near Niangzi Pass, and Chida Kosuke said: "Here, it is the maximum distance to achieve effective communication with Taiyuan, and there is no way to talk no matter how far away it is." ”

"I don't know if Your Excellency the Commander remembers,"

"The last time the prince talked to you, the signal was not very stable."

"That's because the distance between the two radios was at its limit."

"Shuffle!" Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes lit up immediately, this was something he never expected, and the prince might not have thought of this?

Kosuke Chida said: "And just now, the signal that the prince spoke to you was also problematic and not clear enough. ”

After a pause, he said: "So I'm sure that the location of the prince just now is near Niangzi Pass, and it is definitely not Shouyang as he himself said, if he is really in Shouyang, the signal will be very clear!" ”

"After all, the straight-line distance from Shouyang to Taiyuan is only fifty kilometers."

"Yo Xi!" Yoshio Shinozuka said happily, "Chida-kun really deserves to be the radio technical elite of the Imperial Army. ”

After a pause, he said: "However, we still can't rule out another possibility, that is, the prince is playing tricks, he may also know this characteristic of the radio station, so he deliberately took the radio station to the vicinity of Niangzi Pass to carry out tactical deception against us, but secretly transferred troops to launch an offensive near Shouyang. ”

Kosuke Chida said, "It's possible. ”

Otherwise, what else can Kosuke Chida say?

You are the commander, and everything you say is right.

As he spoke, a communications soldier suddenly stood up and handed a telegram to Kosuke Chita.

After reading it, Kosuke Chida's face changed, and he immediately handed the telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka.

After Yoshio Shinozuka finished reading it, his face was pale: "Sure enough, the prince still accidentally exposed his feet." ”

The telegram was sent by the 2nd Guards Division, reporting that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had been found near Shouyang, with at least two regiments or more, and the intentions were unknown.

"Command!" Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice.

"The mobile unit of the 2nd Guards Division is divided into two routes."

"A section is ready to rush to the aid of Niangzi Pass, and is ready to rush to Shouyang all the way."

"Hello!" Kosuke Chida was stunned and began to send telegrams to the 2nd Guards Division.

At this time, Takuya Mizuhara hurriedly walked in, and immediately saluted: "Your Excellency Commander! ”

"Oh, Suwon-kun is here." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily and said, "How are you preparing?" ”

"Hello!" Takuya Mizuhara paused and said, "In order to save time as much as possible, improve efficiency, and avoid being detected by the Eighth Route Army, I have coordinated with the Beiping side. ”

"Before the 1401 military train is loaded, 10 empty cars will be reserved."

"The 4 heavy machine gun squadrons and 2 anti-aircraft artillery squads of the 2nd Guards Division are already on standby in Jingcheng County."

"In order to avoid being discovered by the spies of the Eighth Route Army at Jingcheng Railway Station, the 1401 Army Column will not stop at Jingcheng Railway Station, but will stop ten miles outside Jingcheng City."

"Four heavy machine gun squadrons and two anti-aircraft artillery squadrons will board the car ten miles outside Jingcheng City."

"With these 4 heavy machine gun squadrons and 2 battle defense artillery squadrons, Your Excellency Commander, it will be enough if the Eighth Route Army does not come, if you dare to come, it will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"At that time, the 5 Rapid Rescue Strike Brigades of the 2nd Guards Division will intercept them again,"

"Then none of the Eighth Route Army who participated in this ambush operation want to go back alive."

"Yo Xi!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily and said, "But Mizuhara-kun, the plan needs to be revised." ”

"Nani?" Takuya Mizuhara was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Your Excellency Commander, I don't know where to revise it?" ”

"Shouyang." Yoshio Shinozuka pointed to the county seat of Shouyang and said, "The Eighth Route Army may also make a move in Shouyang, so we must also be fully prepared on the Shouyang side." ”
