Chapter 450: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Heyuan County, outside the South Gate.
Chu Yunfei was personally urging the troops to build fortifications.
Fang Ligong said: "Brigade seat, you better go back to the brigade headquarters first, I just have to keep an eye on it here." ”
"It's nothing, I don't have much to do in the brigade anyway." Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Just come over by the way to see the construction of the outer fortifications." ”
After a pause, he said to the officers and soldiers of Jin Sui who were building fortifications: "Brothers, this time we have entered Heyuan County, we will not leave, and our only brigade will live here in the future, so the peripheral fortifications must be repaired tightly and solidly, and there must be no opportunity for the devils and the Eighth Route Army." ”
While he was talking, Sun Ming hurriedly walked over with Sun Zhi.
Chu Yunfei said: "Sun Ming, where did you go early in the morning?" ”
"What about training." Sun Ming scratched his head and said, "Isn't our Tiger Squadron training every day? ”
"You're really picky." Chu Yunfei snorted, and then continued, "You are like this, hurry up and take the Tiger Squadron to reconnoiter in the direction of Tongpu Road, and once you find the brigade of the Eighth Route Army, report immediately." ”
"Yes!" Sun Ming didn't ask any more questions, and left in a hurry with Sun Zhi.
Fang Ligong asked in a low voice, "Brigade seat, are you worried that the Eighth Route Army will come back at this time?" ”
"I don't rule it out." Chu Yunfei snorted twice and said, "Li Yunlong's popularity is not very large, it can be said that he will be repaid, this time we occupy Heyuan County, Dagu Town, and Lijia Town, how can he swallow this breath?" Although this is the critical moment for attacking Taiyuan, we still have to be careful. ”
Fang Ligong shook his head and said: "I don't think it's very likely, can they still be willing to Taiyuan?" ”
"It's always right to be careful." Chu Yunfei snorted twice and said, "As long as these few days have passed, when the independent regiment returns to the northwest of Shanxi, at that time, the wood has already been completed, and Li Yunlong can only pinch his nose and admit it if he is unwilling." ”
Li Ligong asked puzzledly: "Brigade seat, I don't understand this, why did you wait a few days, when the independent regiment returned to the northwest of Shanxi, it could only admit it?" ”
"It's simple." Chu Yunfei snorted, "Right now, our only brigade has just arrived, and we haven't been able to gain a firm foothold in Heyuan County, if Li Yunlong leads the independent regiment to counterattack at this time, we probably won't be able to hold Heyuan County, and it is our only brigade that doesn't dare to fight with the independent regiment at this time."
"But after a few days, when the only brigade of our Jin Sui Army has gained a firm foothold in Heyuan County, it will be the turn of the independent regiment not to dare to fight, because they will not be sure of victory in the fight!"
"At that time, I gave Li Yunlong another step down, saying that this was a misunderstanding, and Li Yunlong could only admit it."
Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei said with a smile: "At most, I just remember in my heart that I will find a chance to retaliate in the future, but at least in Heyuan County, we won this round." ”
Fang Ligong said: "Misunderstanding? What if Li Yunlong asks for the return of Heyuan County? ”
"Ask for the county seat?" Chu Yunfei snorted twice, and said, "Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, has he ever returned it?" If he Li Yunlong has the ability, he can learn from Lu Meng and Lu Xun to snatch it back. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei said again: "So what I'm worried about is that Li Yunlong will bring the troops back immediately." ”
"That can't be." Fang Ligong shook his head categorically and said, "The Eighth Route Army has already broken through the Gongji Gate into the outer city, and at this time, it is impossible to give up the duck with the beak and kill back to the northwest of Jin and grab a county town with us."
"Not necessarily." Chu Yunfei said, "This is the old nest of the Independent Regiment."
……
Qiulin Town, Northern Shaanxi, World War II Zone Governor's Department.
Yang Zhenji, the director of the intelligence department, hurriedly walked in and said happily to Yan Xishan: "General, I just received an urgent telegram from the 1st Brigade and the 94th Brigade of the Central Army. ”
Yan Xishan hurriedly said, "How is the situation?" ”
Yang Zhenji said: "The Duyi Brigade has seized Heyuan County, Dagu Town and Lijia Town, and the 94th Brigade of the Central Army has also seized Fu'an County and Qingyun Town, and Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment has become a lost dog!" ”
"Haha, good!" Yan Xishan was overjoyed and said, "Well done, send a commendation telegram to Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang, congratulating them on their victory in the northwest of Shanxi." ”
Yang Zhenji said: "But the general seat, Li Yunlong is not easy to mess with. ”
"Well, Li Yunlong has a strong personality in this life, and he will repay him." Yan Xishan pondered for a moment and then said, "In this way, you send another telegram to remind Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang that they must be on guard."
"Yes." Yang Zhenji agreed, turned around and hurriedly left the war room.
Seeing Yang Zhenji's figure go away, Yan Xishan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang copied the nest of Li Yunlong's independent regiment in the northwest of Jin, and the Taiyuan Battle should not be able to be fought. ”
"In this way, Shanxi can still maintain the current situation."
"The Eighth Route Army wants the dominance of Shanxi? Dream! ”
At the end, Yan Xishan snorted coldly.
……
Chongqing Huangshan official residence, Yunxiu Lou study.
Chang Kaishen received the "good news" almost at the same time.
"Good, well done." Chang Kaishen said happily, "Naijian, immediately send a commendation telegram to Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang to commend the two of them for their achievements in the northwest of Shanxi." ”
Tang Zong whispered: "Principal, do you want to say hello to the Chongqing Office of the Eighth Route Army and explain?" ”
"Explain? What to explain? What's there to explain? Chang Kaishen snorted coldly and said, "The northwest of Jin is the northwest of the Republic of China, and the national army is the national army of the Republic of China. ”
Tang Zong said: "But if there is a conflict......
"No, there will be no conflict this time." Chang Kaishen waved his hand and said, "I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army will start a full-scale war with the national army for the sake of a few towns!" No! ”
Tang Zong was silent, and said in his heart that the principal was really calculating.
Does the principal really not believe that the Eighth Route Army will go to war with the National Army?
Obviously not, the principles of the Eighth Route Army are laid out in plain sight.
The principle of the Eighth Route Army is that if people don't offend me, I won't offend people; If anyone sins against me, I will offend.
Chu Yunfei's department and Liang Gang's department copied most of Li Yunlong's old nest, how could Li Yunlong's department be willing to give up? A conflict is inevitable, but it is a good thing for Chongqing.
The Chongqing side was eager for a clash between the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army.
……
Taiyuan Inner City, Headquarters of the First Army.
Yoshio Iwamatsu was standing in front of the window in a daze.
Through the city walls, you can clearly hear the sound of gunfire and explosions coming from the outer city.
This meant that the street fighting was still going on, and the Eighth Route Army's offensive had not stopped at all.
The head of the communications section, Yasushi Inoue, hurriedly came in and reported first: "Your Excellency Commander, the Matsumoto Brigade reports that another block outside the Houzaimon Gate has been lost. ”
"What? Another block lost? ”
Iwamatsu Yoshio's brows furrowed, feeling a little surprised.
Didn't it mean that Chu Yunfei's Ministry and Liang Gang's Department had already copied Li Yunlong's Fuliang Mountain Bandit Area?
Then it stands to reason that Li Yunlong should take his troops back to Fuliang Mountain to settle accounts with Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang, and then the Eighth Route Army's siege of Taiyuan should be over.
However, the reality is that the offensive of the Eighth Route Army has become more aggressive.
"Hello." Inoue Yasushi paused and said, "The casualties of Matsumoto's brigade have exceeded two squadrons, and Matsumoto-kun asks the headquarters to immediately replenish the reserves, otherwise the defense line may collapse." ”
"Yaga." Iwamatsu Yoshio said hatefully, "Immediately transfer a squadron of reserves to supplement the Matsumoto brigade, and then tell Matsumoto-kun to hold out until dark no matter what." ”
"Hello." Inoue shook his head, turned around and hurried away.
Iwamatsu Yoshio turned his gaze to Hanaya Masa, and said in a deep voice: "Hanaya-kun, what do you think?" ”
Hanaya said: "My opinion is completely consistent with His Excellency the Commander, the reason why the Eighth Route Army has continued to attack is to create a false impression and deceive the imperial army. ”
Iwamatsu Yoshio said: "You mean, the Eighth Route Army is actually secretly preparing to retreat?" ”
"It must be so." "It's a pity that most of the neighborhoods in the outer city have been lost, so there is no way to grasp the movements of the Eighth Route Army in time." ”
Yoshio Iwamatsu said: "No, no, we can't help it, it doesn't mean that others can't help it. ”
"Your Excellency Commander, do you mean the Special Police Department of the Jin Sui Army?" Hanaya's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Takuya Mizuhara, who was standing next to him, "Mizuhara-kun, can you still contact someone from the special police department of the Jinsui Army?" ”
"Of course." Takuya Mizuhara affirmed, "It's not a difficult thing. ”
"Good." Hua Gu Zhengdao, "You immediately notify the people from the special police department of the Jin Sui Army, and ask them to help the imperial army find out the movements of the Eighth Route Army, and see whether the Eighth Route Army intends to continue to attack Taiyuan, or is it preparing to return to the northwest of Jin?" ”
"Hello." Takuya Mizuhara slammed his head, turned around and hurried away.
……
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Taiyuan outer city, Houzai Gate outside the street battle position.
Sun Desheng came to Wang Ye with a face of gunpowder smoke and said in a deep voice: "Old Wang." ”
Wang Ye held a telescope to look at the houses opposite and asked, "Have the brothers of the five battalions been arranged?" ”
"Hmm." Sun Desheng nodded heavily, and said, "It's all arranged." ”
"Okay." Wang Ye said, "You should go quickly." ”
"Wang, be careful." Sun Desheng admonished.
Wang Ye said: "I know, I will be careful." ”
Sun Desheng then walked away with a gun.
Wang Ye continued to play tactical sign language.
The members of the Wolf Warrior Squadron quickly entered the few civilian houses they had just captured.
Wang Xikui, Wei Xilai, Zhao Erwa, Liu Ertang and more than a dozen snipers seized the commanding heights on the roofs of private houses and quickly established sniper points.
The whole change of guard took less than five minutes.
However, the troops guarding this block had been replaced by Wang Ye's wolf squadron from a main platoon of the fifth battalion, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side were ignorant.
This block had been occupied by the Fifth Battalion less than a quarter of an hour earlier.
As is customary, the Japanese will definitely launch a counterattack after the loss of their positions.
The Wolf Warrior Squadron had just finished changing its defenses, and with a row of smoke bombs falling, the Japanese counterattack also began.
Because Taiyuan belonged to the Japanese puppet consolidation area, and the public security situation was good, the Japanese army still had some scruples when counterattacking, not only did they not use heavy artillery to shell, but even artillery guns and grenadiers rarely fired grenades, but only fired smoke bombs to cover the infantry assault before each counterattack.
Dozens of smoke grenades landed on the street and on the eaves of houses on either side.
With a burst of clanging sounds, the smoke filled in an instant.
Without waiting for Wang Ye's order, the wolf warriors pulled up wet towels one after another and covered their mouths and noses.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the entire Gongjimen Street suddenly fell into a dead silence, only the smoke bombs were still smoking.
"Here we are." Dozens of meters ahead, Lin Han made sign language.
Many members of the Wolf Warrior Squadron have their own special skills.
Wang Gensheng's unique skill is bomb throwing, Wu Sanxi's unique skill is rock climbing, Feng Xianghe's unique skill is positioning, and Lin Han's specialty is living creature perception, as long as it is a living thing, whether it is a human or a small animal, as long as it is close to Lin Han within fifty meters, it will definitely be perceived by his intuition, and it is useless to pretend to be dead.
Relying on this unique skill, Lin Han found the devil who pretended to be dead on the battlefield many times.
Wang Ye and Wei Dayong had also tried many times, no matter what method they used, disguise, lurking, or other methods, as long as they entered within fifty meters of Lin Han, they would definitely be discovered.
With this unique skill, Lin Han took on the responsibility of early warning.
Seeing Lin Han's sign language, the wolf warriors pulled the bolt one after another.
After a while, a group of devils appeared on the street ahead with bayonets.
There were not many devils, there was about a squad of more than fifty people, in battle formation, cautiously searching and advancing, and the muzzles of their guns were also pointed in different directions.
As he was marching, the leader of the devil squad suddenly made a gesture.
The devils who followed immediately squatted down on the spot, and immediately scattered in all directions, hiding under the eaves of the houses on both sides of the street.
The entire Gongjimen Street was still silent, as if it were dead, and the devils hiding under the eaves of the street could only hear their own heavy gasps.
The leader of the devil squad continued to gesticulate.
About a detachment of a dozen devil infantry immediately broke into the houses on both sides.
Two of the devils slammed open the door and broke into the house where Wang Ye was hiding with bayonets.
It's just that Wang Ye hid it well, his whole body was completely integrated with the surrounding environment, and the two devils who came in didn't notice that there was a person hidden behind the ready-to-wear in the window.
Two minutes passed quickly, and the devils who entered the house to search found nothing.
On the street outside, the leader of the devil squad who led the team once again made sign language and signaled the troops to move on.
Dozens of devils hidden under the eaves of the houses on both sides got up one after another, continued to advance with rifles, and the devils who entered the houses to search also came out one after another.
However, at this time, a sudden change occurred.
"Puff puff puff!" With a dozen dull sounds of defeat,
Including the Devil Squad Leader, the Devil Standard-bearer, and the two Devil Machine Gunners, more than a dozen devils fell to the ground and fell in a pool of blood almost instantly.
"Enemy attack!"
"Eighth Route Army!"
"Disperse and hide!"
The remaining forty or so devil infantry blew up in an instant and scattered and hidden.
Almost at the same time, dazzling tongues of fire suddenly bloomed in the houses on both sides of the street, and the devils who were caught off guard fell to the ground in an instant, and the dozen devils who were lucky enough to rush into the houses were also brutally hunted.
The whole process took a very short time, only a dozen seconds before and after, and more than 50 devils of an infantry squad all fell in a pool of blood, and none of them were spared.
The Wolf Warrior squadron, on the other hand, has zero casualties.
This cannot be called a battle at all, but a massacre.
easily solved an infantry squad of devils with lightning speed, and Wang Ye was also good to see it.
Before cleaning up the battlefield, Wang Ye gave the order to retreat, with this brutal hunt just now, it was enough for the devils on the other side to be jealous, and this time, they would have time to retreat calmly.
……
Wang Ye didn't know that Iwamatsu Yoshio and Hanaya Masashi had already come to Houzaimun.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Matsumoto Ichiro hurriedly came to Iwamatsu Yoshio and paused, "Why are you here?" ”
"You don't care about that." Iwamatsu Yoshio waved his hand slightly, and asked with a dark face, "Matsumoto-kun, how is the situation?" ”
"It didn't go well, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army was extremely fierce, and the defense was also tight, and many counterattacks by our Matsumoto brigade were broken up by them." Matsumoto Ichiro said with a dark face, "Just now, the Hasegawa team lost contact again, and if nothing else, most of them have been collectively shattered at this time. ”
Yoshio Iwamatsu's gaze turned to Masashi Hanaya.
Hua Guzheng frowned and said, "Isn't the Eighth Route Army planning to give up?" ”
After a pause, he said: "It shouldn't be, isn't the Eighth Route Army afraid of becoming a lost dog?" ”
Iwamatsu Yoshio's face fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Is there still no news from Mizuhara-kun?" ”
Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, as soon as he talked about Suhara Takuya, Suyuan Takuya also strode over, and immediately reported: "Your Excellency Commander, the situation has been clarified." ”
"Oh?" Yoshio Iwamatsu said hurriedly, "What do you say?" ”
Takuya Mizuhara said: "The people from the special police department of the Jinsui Army said that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has already withdrawn!" ”
"What? The main force of the Eighth Route Army has already been withdrawn? Hua Gu was thinking that the Eighth Route Army would withdraw, but he didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army had withdrawn at all, and said in disbelief, "Then why is the offensive in the street battle still so fierce?" An infantry squad that the Matsumoto Brigade had just thrown into a counterattack was still collectively shattered? ”
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, this is a plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell!" Suhara Takuya said, "They deliberately left a small number of elite troops at the forefront of the street battle and continued to attack, just to create the illusion that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is still in Taiyuan, but in fact, their main force has already withdrawn from Taiyuan and is rushing towards the northwest of Shanxi!" ”
"What? The golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell? Yoshio Iwamatsu and Hanaya screamed almost at the same time.
Speaking of which, these two old devils have read Sun Tzu's Art of War, but they feel that the so-called 36 strategies are just records in history books, and they will never be possible in reality.
After all, how can it be so easy to use such a thing?
They are all people who lead troops to fight, who will be stupid enough to be in the middle of the plan?
But now, Takuya Mizuhara told the two of them that the Eighth Route Army used the Golden Cicada Shelling Scheme, and it succeeded, and they didn't realize that this was the Eighth Route Army's Golden Cicada Shelling Scheme!
