Chapter 247: A Bad Feeling

Mount Taiyue, 386 Brigade Headquarters.

According to the order of the headquarters, the 386 Brigade was officially merged with the Taiyue Military Region half a month ago, and now the brigade commander has concurrently served as the commander of the Taiyue Military Region.

The 772nd regiment was drained of 3 more backbone companies,

Coupled with the local troops of the former Taiyue Military Region,

It was combined into three main regiments: 16, 17 and 18.

After half a month of training, the unit basically took shape.

But this combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable with the original 4 regiments.

Even the 772nd Regiment, an old backbone regiment, is not what it used to be.

In Cheng Shifa's words, eh, why is it me who is unlucky?

The brigade commander always remembered the three regiments that stayed in the Taihang Military Region to contain the Japanese sweeping troops.

"Brigade commander, the order from the headquarters has come down." The chief of staff rushed in with a telegram and said in a loud voice, "The fathers and villagers of the Taihang Military Region have all been safely transferred. ”

"Really?" The brigade commander was overjoyed when he heard this, "All transferred? ”

"Yes, all transferred." The chief of staff nodded and said, "The headquarters also ordered us to immediately organize a large-scale offensive operation in the Changzhi area, in addition to our 386th Brigade, the 385th Brigade, the New 1st Brigade and the New 4th Brigade will also participate in the battle, with the aim of forcing the Japanese army to return as much as possible." ”

"Damn, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

The brigade commander said angrily: "Correspondent, let the commanders of each regiment come to the brigade headquarters for a meeting." ”

After saying this, he gritted the back tooth socket and said: "This time, Lao Tzu wants to turn Changzhi upside down, so that Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, knows that Ma Wangye has a few eyes!" ”

……

358 regimental headquarters.

Chu Yunfei came to the war room again after breakfast.

"Tuanza!" Several operational staff officers stood up in unison and saluted Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei returned a military salute and asked, "Is there any latest news from the intelligence department?" ”

"Tuanza, it's really a coincidence." Fang Ligong entered in response, holding a telegram in his hand, "Our Jin Suijun has just gotten another piece of information from the inner line of the Jin Sui Army in Taiyuan, the battle report on Shuiyao Mountain. ”

"Really?" Chu Yunfei said, "How is the battle situation in Shuiyao Mountain?" ”

"It's still a stalemate." Fang Ligong handed over the telegram.

"It's been almost a month, and you're still in a stalemate?" Chu Yunfei was a little surprised.

After reading the telegram, Chu Yunfei said again and again: "Incredible, it's simply incredible." ”

Fang Ligong said: "It is indeed surprising that the Eighth Route Army can hold out for so long, I originally thought that the Eighth Route Army would hold out for about a week at most, but I really didn't expect that they were still holding on for almost a month." ”

Chu Yunfei said: "The tenacity of the Eighth Route Army is really admirable. ”

After saying this, Chu Yunfei said again: "If it were any unit of our Jin Sui Army, I am afraid it would be difficult to hold out for such a long time, and at the beginning, several of our troops only defended Taiyuan for five days. ”

"Tuanza, there is no comparison between the two." Fang Ligong said, "In the Battle of Taiyuan, the 60,000 Japanese troops were all elite. ”

"Isn't the 40,000 Japanese troops in Shuiyao Mountain the spirit now?" Chu Yunfei disagreed, "In any case, the Eighth Route Army is fighting more tenaciously than our Jin Sui Army, this must be admitted." ”

Fang Ligong was silent because he didn't want to argue with Chu Yunfei.

After a pause, Chu Yunfei continued: "However, the Eighth Route Army is estimated to be about to reach its limit. ”

"Yes." Fang Ligong nodded and said, "If I guessed correctly, there should be the preset fortifications of the Eighth Route Army in Shuiyao Mountain, as well as the food, ammunition and drinking water stored in advance, otherwise it wouldn't last so long, but now that it has been a stalemate for almost a month, the stored materials should have been almost consumed." ”

only heard a snapping sound, and the pencil in Chu Yunfei's hand was broken.

"Seeing my country's national defense force being eaten by devils, I really don't feel good in my heart, according to my temper, I really want to send troops directly to attack Taiyuan! Give Yoshio Shinozuka a siege to save Zhao. ”

"But the problem is that the commander's department strictly ordered our 358th Regiment not to attack."

Fang Ligong said: "Tuanzuo, disobeying military orders is not a trivial matter. ”

"I know that." Chu Yunfei sighed, "I'm not Li Yunlong. ”

While he was talking, Sun Ming walked in with a snowstorm and stood up and saluted.

"Sun Ming, are you back?" Chu Yunfei said, "How is the Tiger Squadron training?" ”

Sun Ming said with a smug face: "Report to the regimental seat, the Tiger Squadron has formed combat effectiveness, as long as the regimental seat gives an order, you can set foot on the battlefield at any time to fight for the country!" ”

"Good!" Chu Yunfei was overjoyed.

He turned his head to the other party and said: "Chief of Staff, it is definitely not possible to mobilize troops to launch combat operations without authorization, but it is still okay to let the Tiger Squadron conduct a decapitation operation with combat training, right?" ”

"This ......," Fang Ligong said with some embarrassment, "Tuanzao, isn't this appropriate?" ”

"Right!" After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he said to Sun Ming, "Sun Ming, I order you to take the Tiger Squadron into Anhua County and kill the gendarmerie headquarters in Anhua County!" ”

"Yes!" Sun Ming responded abruptly.

……

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the gendarmerie.

An intelligence staff officer hurriedly walked into Takuya Mizuhara's office and snapped.

"Section chief, this is an urgent telegram just sent by the Anhua Gendarmerie, a special force codenamed 'Tiger Squadron' of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army is about to launch a beheading operation against the Anhua Gendarmerie."

"Really?" Takuya Mizuhara had a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

Jin Suijun also wants to follow his example and learn from the Eighth Route Army to form special forces?

As everyone knows, from the very beginning, it was infiltrated into a sieve by their special high class.

"That's right." The intelligence staff officer added, "There is a new situation. ”

"What's the situation?" Takuya Mizuhara got up and dressed, and he had to go to the headquarters.

The intelligence staff officer said: "The prince we knew before is actually not a code name. ”

"Nani?" Takuya Mizuhara chuckled in his heart, "The prince is not a code name?" ”

"Yes." The intelligence staff officer said at a moment's notice, "It's our sleeper who misheard, the commander of the special forces of the Eighth Route Army is surnamed Wang, and his single name is a wild character." ”

"It's a German overseas Chinese who just returned to China this year."

"By the way, Wang Ye graduated from the Berlin Military Academy in Germany!"

"Wang Ye?" Takuya Mizuhara's eyes widened suddenly, "It's not the prince, but the prince?" ”

"Yes." The intelligence staff officer said, "The local accent of Shina is too complicated to distinguish. ”

"Yaga! This killed me. Takuya Mizuhara's head began to ooze a fine cold sweat.

If it is Wang Ye, not Wang Ye, then all the judgments based on the code name of Wang Ye are wrong, and this guy is an overseas Chinese in Germany, not a senior general of the Eighth Route Army at all, it's over!

Seeing that Takuya Mizuhara was suddenly like this, the intelligence staff officer asked, "What's wrong with you, section chief?" Uncomfortable? ”

"I'm fine." Takuya Mizuhara took a deep breath, tried his best to calm himself, and said, "Onoda-kun, you go back and get busy, I'm going to the headquarters for a meeting too." ”

……

In the water kiln mountain, Huangyang Cave.

After a busy night, Wang Ye was lying in the cave and falling asleep.

Although it is cold and freezing outside the cave, it is warm as spring in the Yellow Sheep Cave.

Because it was wartime, the training of the wolf squadron was also canceled, and all the team members except for eating and sleeping, anyway, they had enough physical strength and energy, and when they broke through, they were immediately a group of howling wolves.

When it was noon yesterday, Wang Ye was woken up by an enticing fragrance.

"Well, what does it smell like?" Wang Ye sniffed twice, "It's so fragrant!" ”

", this is the smell of spicy seeds!" Wei Dayong turned over and jumped up, "It's oily noodles!" ”

"What? Eat oily noodles at noon today? Hearing Wei Dayong's shout, the wolf warriors who were still lying on the straw pile just now jumped up and rushed towards the entrance of the cave like a swarm.

At the entrance of the Yellow Sheep Cave, there is a specially carved out wooden house as a room.

The space in the room is large enough, and the squad leader of the independent regiment, Lao Wang, is busy cooking noodles with dozens of men.

Today's lunch is really oily noodles, white noodles, spicy oil, and even toppings mixed with pickled donkey minced meat, and the fragrance wafts out of the Yellow Sheep Cave, along the wall-hung road, into the nostrils of every soldier.

Almost all the warriors craned their necks and stilted their heads in anticipation, so anxious.

There are not many days to eat oily noodles, and I occasionally eat them during the New Year's holidays.

But the soldiers had to wait obediently, waiting for the cooking class to be ready and brought to them.

The only one who can directly enter the room for dinner without waiting is the Wolf Warrior Squadron.

Seeing more than a hundred war wolves rushing into the room with a roar, the soldiers were so envious that they couldn't do it.

Soon, there was a snoring sound in the room, and more than a hundred pigs were eating.

From time to time, there will be praise from the wolf warriors: Well, fragrant, really fragrant! It's so fragrant!

Hearing this, not only the eyes of the soldiers were hot, but also Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

"Damn, this is a bunch of starving ghosts." Li Yunlong scolded with a smile, "Eating is like eating a pig." ”

Unexpectedly, Wei Dayong's ears were very pointed, and he actually heard the movement inside so loudly, and immediately counterattacked: "Commander, your appearance is not much better than ours." ”

"Monk, eat leisurely on your dog day."

Li Yunlong said angrily: "Don't eat Lao Tzu's share." ”

As the head of the regiment, he is often the last to eat, and sometimes he can only get some soup to drink.

As he was talking, Zhao Gang walked over quickly and said excitedly: "Lao Li, as well as Head Ding and Head Kong, the headquarters has lifted the radio silence and sent an urgent call!" ”

Hearing this, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong stood up at once.

Not far away, Guan Dashan, Zhang Dabiao, Li Xiaoxian, and other battalion-level and deputy regiment-level cadres also came over one after another.

"Political Commissar Zhao." Kong Jie was even more anxious than Li Yunlong, and asked, "What did the head of the headquarters say in the telegram?" ”

Zhao Gang said: "The head of the headquarters briefed us on the latest situation in the military region, and hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Taihang base area have all been moved to safe areas. ”

"Great, now you can let go of your hands and feet and the devil!"

Li Yunlong and the three of them suddenly perked up, and now they had no worries.

"And there's more." Zhao Gang continued, "This morning, the 385th Brigade, the 386th Brigade, the New 1st Brigade and the New 4th Brigade, with a total of 17 regiments and more than 20,000 people in the 4 brigades, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops in Liao County, Wuxiang County, Heshun County and Changzhi County in the southeast of Shanxi Province. ”

Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were overjoyed when they heard this.

"Great, this little devil is taking care of one thing and losing the other, haha."

"Jin Dongnan is beaten into a pot of porridge, and Yoshio Shinozuka should become an ant on the oil pot."

"At present, the main force of the devils in Shanxi is contained by us in Shuiyao Mountain, the troops in the southeast of Shanxi are empty, and the brigade commander and a few brother brigades should be able to achieve greater results, eh, it's a pity, we couldn't catch up with this wave of combat operations."

Zhao Gang continued: "The head of the headquarters judges that the Japanese troops on the periphery of Shuiyao Mountain may partially return to help, let us pay close attention to the movements of the devils outside the mountain, and look for an opportunity to break through to the northwest of Jin." ”

Li Yunlong said: "Lao Ding, Lao Kong, I don't think I need to pay attention to the movements of the devils outside the mountain, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and I will break through tonight!" ”

"I agree." Kong Jie took a puff of his old cigarette and said.

"While the ring road and the blockade ditch have not yet been completely formed, break through as soon as possible."

Ding Wei said: "Then let's break through tonight, I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment." ”

Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, Head Ding and Head Kong, don't wait any longer?" Maybe the devil will really send troops back to the southeast of Jin, in that case, the pressure when we break through will be much less than now. ”

"It's not small." Li Yunlong said categorically, "Yoshio Shinozuka recognized that the main force of the Taihang Military Region was in Shuiyao Mountain, so even if the southeast of Jin turned the sky upside down, the old devil would not send the main force of the Japanese army to help, and he would send thousands of people back to help if the sky was over, which was just a surface for the devils outside Shuiyao Mountain." ”

Zhao Gang didn't say anything more.

Militarily, Thaksin Li Yunlong.

The bottom line is that they can't wait a few days.

Because the drinking water stored in the Yellow Sheep Cave is running out.

It is likely that the previously dug pool is leaking, and the drinking water is being consumed much faster than expected.

If the food is not enough, you can save some food, but you can't save drinking water, and if the water is cut off, in less than two days, more than 5,000 soldiers of the three regiments will fall into a desperate situation.

The three regiments originally had more than 6,600 fighters.

But after the previous continuous battles on the Zhengtai Road battlefield,

So far, the number of people has been reduced to only about 5,000.

……

Taiyuan, headquarters of the 1st Army.

The telephony of the communication class was ringing, and the sound of the message was already ringing.

This sudden offensive launched by the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Jin, Yoshio Shinozuka was a little confused, what was the situation?

The main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region is nearly 30,000 people, isn't it already besieged in Shuiyao Mountain? How could the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi still have the ability to launch an attack on Changzhi, Wuxiang, Liaoxian and other county seats?

Although it was true that many Eighth Route Army had crossed Zhengtai Road and headed south,

But that was only the local armed forces and militias, and their combat effectiveness was weak.

The equipment of these Eighth Route Army is even more inferior, not to mention artillery, not even a few machine guns, how can such an Eighth Route Army threaten a county town with strong fortifications? It doesn't make sense.

"Inoue-kun." Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and said, "You check again." ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, it has been verified repeatedly." Inoue Jing shook his head and said, "The situation is absolutely true, there are really at least 15 regiments of the Eighth Route Army that have launched a strong attack on Changzhi, Wuxiang, Liaoxian, Heshun and other county seats. ”

"Especially the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Changzhi also used a large number of 92 infantry guns."

"Several strongholds along the Baijin Line were destroyed in less than two hours."

"Nani? The Eighth Route Army in the Changzhi direction had a large number of 92 infantry guns? All the staff officers looked at each other.

Takuya Mizuhara, who was already in a marginal position, subconsciously took a step back, and by this time, he was no longer suspicious, but sure that they had already taken the lead of the Eighth Route Army.

It was by no means the main force of the Eighth Route Army that was trapped in Shuiyao Mountain.

But he will never take the initiative to say this kind of thing, and he will definitely hit the mold when he says it.

Yoshio Shinozuka also had a bad premonition, and muttered, "This is impossible, this is impossible?" ”

Sakamoto Takashi said with a black face: "Your Excellency Commander, I now have an ominous premonition, we seem to have been deceived by the Eighth Route Army, and it is very likely that the main force trapped in the Shuiyao Mountain is not the main force of the Taihang Bandit District!" ”

"Baga, nonsense!" Yoshio Shinozuka was furious, and he slapped his hand with a slap.

Just listening to the snap, Ryuichi Sakamoto had five bright red finger prints on his right cheek.

Takuya Mizuhara, who was hiding behind the crowd, was a little lucky, and he knew that he would definitely be slapped if he said it.

"Command!" Yoshio Shinozuka said with a dark face, "The defenders of various counties and strongholds in the southeast of Jin have strengthened their vigilance, and the 3rd Brigade immediately went south along the Baijin Line to reinforce after receiving the order. ”

"Order again, the 9th Brigade will return to Taiyuan."

"Hello!" Yasushi Inoue went to deliver the order.

Yoshio Shinozuka's gaze returned to the sand table.

"The Eighth Route Army has mobilized so many troops and created such a big movement in the south and east of Jin, which is a sound attack on the west."

Yoshio Shinozuka seems to be trying to convince others, and as if he is convincing himself: "The intention is to divert the main force of our 1st Army from Shuiyao Mountain, so that the main force of the Eighth Route Army trapped in Shuiyao Mountain will have a chance to break through, so we must not fall for them, we must be stable!" ”

Hearing this, Takuya Mizuhara wanted to speak several times.

Yoshio Shinozuka asked Ryuichi Sakamoto again: "Sakamoto-kun, have the 3rd and 4th blockade lines been deployed?" ”

"Hello!" Takashi Sakamoto was slapped in the face, but he didn't hold a grudge against Yoshio Shinozuka for this, and said, "Your Excellency, the third blockade line has been deployed. ”

"Especially the Yangcun defensive line, except for an infantry brigade,"

"There's also a squadron of tanks and a squadron of rapid-fire guns!"

"Considering the narrow front of the road from Daxiawan to Yangcun,"

"I think this kind of force and firepower configuration is enough."

"Yo Xi!" Shinozuka nodded happily, and then asked, "So, what about the fourth blockade?" ”

Takashi Sakamoto: "As for the fourth blockade line, because of the lack of troops, we can only hold the main intersection for the time being, and we can't take care of some side roads. ”

"Nope." Yoshio Shinozuka said angrily, "The path should also be tightly sealed. ”

After a pause, he said: "In terms of troops, you can transfer the main forces of the 4th and 8th mixed brigades of the Imperial Association, anyway, the road and blockade ditch around Shuiyao Mountain are almost completed." ”
