"Your Excellency, Commander!"

Inoue Yasudon said: "The 3rd Fast Detachment is missing!" ”

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka and Tadanobu Maeda were stunned at the same time when they heard this.

But soon, Yoshio Shinozuka frowned again and asked, "Inoue-kun, how long has the 3rd Fast Detachment been missing?" ”

Inoue said: "More than 20 minutes ago, we had a routine communication with the 3rd Rapid Detachment, and half a minute ago, when we called the 3rd Rapid Detachment again according to the order, there was no response. ”

"Yaga, is there a radio failure?" Yoshio Shinozuka said.

Maeda Tadahisa also said: "If nothing else, it should be a radio station malfunction." ”

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka and Maeda Tadahisa didn't think badly at all, and they didn't think that anything would happen to the 3rd Fast Detachment.

This is a fast detachment!

In addition to having 1,500 elite imperial soldiers,

There are also 6 75mm field guns and 5 tanks!

Is it possible that such a strong armed force will be annihilated by the Eighth Route Army in a short period of time?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even the most powerful 386 Brigade, even if the Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region concentrated all the main forces, it was absolutely impossible to eat the 3rd Rapid Detachment in such a short period of time, and even the most crazy combat staff officers would not dare to make such crazy assumptions.

At this moment, Kosuke Chida suddenly jumped up again.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Kosuke Chida said loudly, "That man, I'm calling you again." ”

Yoshio Shinozuka and Maeda Tadanobu glanced at each other, and an inexplicable heaviness suddenly floated in their hearts.

Yoshio Shinozuka is now starting to be a little afraid to talk to the prince, because every time he calls, the prince seems to bring him bad news.

What's the bad news this time around?

It can't be about the 3rd Rapid Detachment, right?

However, Yoshio Shinozuka still strode over to the radio station and grabbed the microphone and earpiece.

"Maxi Maxi." Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice, "I'm Yoshio Shinozuka, is the prince you?" ”

"That's right, it's me." The prince sighed and said, "Shinozuka-kun, didn't I tell you not to rush over and send your fast brigade to death?" ”

"Why don't you listen?"

"It's okay now, another brigade has come in, why bother?"

"What do you mean?" Yoshio Shinozuka's heart jumped violently, and he said in a deep voice, "Why don't I understand?" ”

"No, you understand, Shinozuka-kun, you just can't believe it." Wang Ye said lightly, "You can't believe that a well-equipped fast brigade with more than a thousand troops will be easily annihilated by our Eighth Route Army in less than half an hour, because for you, this is simply unimaginable." ”

"Don't be ashamed." Maeda Tadanobu who was eavesdropping next to him blurted out in a hurry.

"If your Eighth Route Army can annihilate the 3rd Rapid Detachment in less than half an hour, I will eat!"

"Oh, Maeda-kun, you're there too?" The prince smiled and said, "Are you trying to find an excuse to eat and drink?" ”

"Eat and drink?" Maeda Tadanobu didn't react for a moment, and said blankly, "What are you talking about this bastard?" ”

Wang Ye smiled and said: "I often hear people say that many Japanese people have very special habits, such as transvestism and pica, but I didn't expect Maeda-kun to be an pica?" ”

"And you also like to eat Chinese?"

"What's that, our Eighth Route Army is poor,"

"But you can still meet this request."

"Yagayalu." Maeda Tadanobu said angrily, "What are you talking about? ”

The prince smiled and said, "Didn't you say it yourself just now?" Want to eat? ”

"I said that." Maeda Tadanobu said angrily, "But you have to annihilate the 3rd Rapid Detachment. ”

"The problem is that now we have annihilated." The prince said, "Maeda-kun, remember to eat, and I have another piece of advice I want to give you." ”

Maeda Tadanobu said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Wang Ye said abruptly: "I want to tell you, are there more reinforcements behind the 3rd Rapid Detachment?" I advise you not to let these reinforcements come. ”

"I'm serious."

"They came and died, so why bother?"

"You little Japan doesn't have a lot of people, so it won't last long."

"I'm afraid that's what you'd like to see, right?" Maeda Tadanobu said abruptly, "If reinforcements don't come over, you can slowly eat the 3rd Rapid Detachment?" ”

"Then calmly cross Zhengtai Road?"

"It's beautiful to think, but it's a pity that we won't be fooled."

"Hehe, to be honest, no one believes me." Wang Ye said with a smile.

"I've already said what I need to say anyway, believe it or not."

After speaking, the prince on the opposite side interrupted the communication, and the indicator light dimmed.

Yoshio Shinozuka returned the microphone to Kosuke Chida and began to be skeptical.

"Maeda-kun." Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and said, "The 3rd Fast Detachment won't really have an accident, right?" ”

"Impossible!" Maeda Tadanobu said categorically, "Even the 386th Brigade you mentioned will never be able to eat the 3rd Rapid Detachment in half an hour!" When pigs fly! ”

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and said, "If the Eighth Route Army sets up an ambush on the road in advance, it is still possible to annihilate the 3rd Rapid Detachment in a relatively short time. ”

Maeda Tadanobu's face sank when he heard this.

At this time, the phone in the battle hall suddenly rang.

Yasushi Inoue, the head of the communications section, grabbed the microphone and said, "Maxi Maxi." ”

After a while, Inoue's face fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Commander, Xiao Lizhuang's stronghold reports that the 3rd Fast Detachment was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army near Zhaojiayuan. ”

After saying this, he said in a low tone: "It has been completely annihilated." ”

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka and Tadanobu Maeda, although they are already mentally prepared,

But when I heard the news, I still couldn't believe my ears.

After a long time, Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Inoue-kun, you said that the 3rd Fast Detachment has been completely annihilated?" ”

"It can't be, it can't be!" Before Inoue could reply, Maeda Tadanobu had already roared loudly, "Where did you get this rumor?" It's a rumor, it's a rumor! ”

More than a dozen officers present looked at it together.

"Your Excellency, General!" Inoue Yasushi said with a sad expression, "This is not a rumor. ”

"Two imperial soldiers from the cavalry squadron belonging to the 3rd Fast Detachment escaped by chance and fled to the nearby Xiaolizhuang stronghold, and reported the news to Yangquan."

"The 3rd Rapid Detachment has really been completely annihilated!"

"Really?" Maeda Tadanobu was stunned when he heard this.

Since it was a report from a cavalry who had escaped by chance, he couldn't help but believe it.

But not long after, Maeda Tadanobu had a look of ecstasy on his face.

Almost at the same time, Yoshio Shinozuka's face also showed a mixture of surprise.

What surprised Yoshio Shinozuka was naturally the performance of the Eighth Route Army, which completely annihilated the 3rd Rapid Detachment in less than 20 minutes, which was really surprising.

And what made Yoshio Shinozuka overjoyed was that the annihilation of the entire army of the 3rd Rapid Detachment fully illustrated one point, that is, the Eighth Route Army assembled in the direction of Zhaojiayuan was by no means a brigade!

The two old devils made almost the same judgment.

"Shinozuka-kun, this is all the main force of the Taihang Bandit District!"

"Maeda-kun, this must be the entire main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

After saying that, the two old devils laughed at each other again.

Officers such as Kosuke Chita, Inoue and Ryuichi Sakamoto were stunned.

The heart said, the two generals can't be crazy, right? The 3rd Fast Detachment has been wiped out, and more than 1,500 elite imperial troops have been collectively shattered, and the two generals can still laugh out loud? This must be insane.

Of course, the two old devils are not crazy, on the contrary, they are very sober.

The reason why the two old devils are happy is because the fighters that completely annihilated the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region in one fell swoop have been placed in front of the 2nd Guards Division!

Compared to this opportunity,

A fast detachment is a fart?

Smiling slightly, Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Maeda-kun, it's up to you next." ”

"Hello!" Maeda Tadanobu slammed his head, and shouted in a low voice at Yasushi Inoue, "Inoue-kun, you have to call the 2nd Core Detachment and continue to move in the direction of Zhaojiayuan's stronghold!" ”

"Also, remind them to step up reconnaissance."

"Don't fall into the ambush of the Eighth Route Army again."

"Order again, the 1st and 3rd core detachments and the final detachment will immediately rush to the aid of Zhao's homeland!"

Speaking of this, Maeda Tadanobu said to Yoshio Shinozuka again: "Shinozuka-kun, it seems that I am not blessed to stay and enjoy your hospitality, so don't leave it at that." ”

"Yo Si." Yoshio Shinozuka said with a pause.

"Maeda-kun, I will wait for your good news in Taiyuan."

Seeing Maeda Tadanobu go out, the entire battle hall immediately exploded.

Ryuichi Sakamoto asked, "Your Excellency Commander, does the Eighth Route Army really want to concentrate all its main forces and forcibly tear a hole in the direction of Zhaojiayuan's stronghold?" Isn't that stupid? ”

"yes." Inoue Yasuya said, "Don't they know that the imperial army can also concentrate its forces?" ”

"Moreover, the Imperial Army can rely on Zhengtai Road and Highway to maneuver, and the reaction speed will only be faster than that of their Eighth Route Army!"

Shibata Shinichi, the captain of the 9th Flight Squadron, also said: "For a long time, the most troublesome thing for the Eighth Route Army is that it can't find a chance to fight it head-on, but now, the Eighth Route Army has sent such a plane to the Imperial Army, why do I think everything is so unreal?" Isn't this a fraud? ”

"Fraud? What can there be? Yoshio Shinozuka said suddenly.

Ryuichi Sakamoto said: "I'm afraid that this is another plan of the Eighth Route Army to attack the east and west, and divert the tiger from the mountain." ”

"yes." Inoue Yasuya said, "More than a month ago, the reason why the No. 1401 military column was hijacked was because we fell for the Eighth Route Army's plan to attack the west. ”

"yes, it's possible."

Shibata Shinkazu: "What should I do when the main force of the 2nd Guards Division is attracted to the vicinity of the stronghold of Zhaojiayuan, but the main force of the Eighth Route Army launches a breakthrough from other directions?" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka said very confidently: "This is absolutely impossible. ”

"The situation this time is significantly different from the last time in the 1401 military column."

"The 1401 military column itself has no defensive capability and is vulnerable to attacks by the Eighth Route Army."

"But there is a reinforced squad stationed in the Zhaojiayuan stronghold, and the 3rd Rapid Detachment is even more of a reinforced infantry brigade!"

"However, the stronghold of Zhaojiayuan was lost in less than twenty minutes, and the 3rd Rapid Detachment was completely annihilated in less than half an hour, which is enough to show that the strength of the Eighth Route Army assembled in the direction of Zhaojiayuan stronghold is extremely large, and this must be all the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area."

After a pause, he said: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if it is not all the main forces, at least the vast majority of the elite main forces are concentrated, so it is impossible to have the main force of the Eighth Route Army in other directions, but there is still a cordon blockade line and 4 fast detachments to be responsible for the blockade of the entire Zhengtai Road, and it is still impossible for the Eighth Route Army to break through the Zhengtai Road blockade line." ”

Shibata Shinichi and a few other senior officers said more.

……

Wangjia Village has now become the headquarters of the mobile column.

At this time, not only the 772nd Regiment, the new 1st Regiment and the new 2nd Regiment had already arrived, but even the brigade commander and chief of staff also arrived with the organs directly under the brigade headquarters.

The brigade commander said, "Li Yunlong, come here." ”

Li Yunlong walked up to the brigade commander and asked with a smile, "Is there something wrong with the brigade commander?" ”

The brigade commander said: "Just now, the brother troops of the fifth division reported that something seems to be missing. ”

"Really?" Li Yunlong pretended to be stupid and asked with a smile, "I don't know what's missing?" ”

"6 guns missing." The brigade commander said, "The brother troops said that in addition to 5 tanks and more than 50 trucks, the fast detachment of the devils also has 6 field howitzers of 75mm caliber. ”

"The wreckage of tanks and trucks has been found, and the number is right."

"Only the six 75mm field guns are missing."

"How can such a thing happen?" Li Yunlong hurriedly said, "Then these guys are really careless." ”

"You're still here to pretend to be me, aren't you?" In the next second, the brigade commander's whip was whipped on Li Yunlong's back, "Hurry up and send the 6 75mm caliber field howitzers you hid to the artillery regiment!" ”

"How many times has Xiao Wang told you? Firepower must be used intensively in order to exert its power. ”

"Therefore, the six 75mm caliber field grenades can only be given to the artillery regiment to maximize their effectiveness."

"Besides, your independent regiment has no shells, what's the use of your kid deducting those 6 cannons? It can be used for fart! ”

Li Yunlong said with a slumped face: "Aren't we poor and afraid, thinking that if there is a bad situation in the future, we will dig out these 6 cannons, which can be of great use." ”

"Just your kid has a lot of eyes."

The brigade commander said: "Hurry up and dig it out and send it to the artillery regiment." ”

"Yes!" Li Yunlong responded and turned away unhappily.

Seeing Li Yunlong leave gloomily, Cheng Shifa, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie laughed.

The chief of staff also laughed, and after laughing, he asked Liu Xiaoshan: "Xiaoshan, you contact the wolf squadron in front to see if the follow-up reinforcements of the devil have come?" ”

As soon as the voice fell, the indicator light of the radio station suddenly turned on.

Liu Xiaoshan hurriedly grabbed the earpiece and the microphone: "Dong Yu Dong Yu, I am Dong Duo." ”

Liu Xiaoshan spoke the Wenzhou dialect, and almost no one in the audience could understand it.

After a while, Yuan Lang's response came from the other side: "Dong Liang Dong Liang, there is a Japanese army rushing to the direction of Zhaojiayuan's stronghold, with about two infantry brigades and one artillery brigade. ”

"The hole two received." Liu Xiaoshan put down the receiver and the microphone.

Then he said to the brigade commander and chief of staff: "The brigade commander, the chief of staff, and the wolf squadron report that there is a Japanese army that is reinforcing in the direction of Zhaojiayuan, with two infantry brigades and one artillery brigade. ”

"The devil came pretty fast!" Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa were in high spirits.

"It's amazing." The chief of staff said, "Little devil, this is a tactic to add fuel to the fire, and it is a taboo for soldiers." ”

Ding Wei also said: "Yes, the devil's reinforcements actually came in batches, didn't it become a refueling tactic?" This is easy for us to seize the opportunity to break each one, and the devil should not make such a low-level mistake. ”

Kong Jie said: "Lao Ding, it's a good thing for us that devils make mistakes." ”

Ding Wei said: "Of course, it is a good thing for devils to make mistakes, but we can't pin our hopes of winning the battle on low-level mistakes made by devils, otherwise it should be us who make mistakes." ”

The brigade commander said: "In my opinion, the devils subjectively didn't think about refueling tactics, they just lacked enough knowledge of the concentrated use of firepower!" Or, the devil doesn't think that our Eighth Route Army will understand the principle of concentrated use of firepower, after all, our Eighth Route Army has always given people the impression that they are poor and have never been able to afford to fight a rich war! ”

The chief of staff said: "That's what I said, if I were a devil, I would also underestimate the enemy." ”

The brigade commander said again: "You guys should also go back and prepare." ”

Ding Wei and the others immediately got up and left.

……

Blockade of the ditch.

Wang Ye lurked behind a hill with a team of fox wolves.

Less than fifty meters away from them, an infantry detachment of the devils was searching and advancing.

On the highway two kilometers away from this search detachment, the devil's brigade is moving forward in a mighty way.

With the combat effectiveness of the Wolf Warrior Squadron, it can be said that it is not a matter of effort at all to eat this search detachment of devils, but Wang Ye did not do it.

He couldn't have made such a low-level mistake as losing a big mistake because of a small mistake.

Wei Xilai lowered his voice and said: "Captain, the devil actually expanded the search distance to two kilometers, fortunately, we temporarily moved the hiding place back one kilometer, otherwise the devil would have discovered it." ”

"Expected." Wang Ye said, "After suffering two big losses in a row, even a pig should have a long memory." ”

"I don't have a long memory when I think devils." Wei Dayong also whispered, "Otherwise, there shouldn't be just such a few people, isn't this a head-off for our mobile column?" ”

Wang Xikui also nodded again and again.

Even Li Xia nodded subconsciously.

"That's normal, too." Wang Ye said abruptly.

"In the impression of the devil, we are still the Hanako army wearing tattered military uniforms, holding rifles with smoothed rifles in our hands, and only a few bullets."

"One of the devil's infantry brigades can shake one of our divisions."

"So with more than 2,000 and less than 3,000 people, we dare to shake our entire Eighth Route Army!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ye said with a smile: "But next, we will use fierce artillery fire to tell the devil that our Eighth Route Army has long been different from what it used to be." ”

Wei Dayong immediately began to look forward to it.

Looking forward to the scene of the artillery regiment in full swing.
