Chapter 42: Sneak Attack on the Devil's Camp
"Yo Xi." Muto Mikashi was very happy to hear the adjutant's words, as if victory was in sight.
Although he had nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army during this time, he didn't want to control his fate in the hands of others, so he said with some excitement:
"Immediately gather the troops, wait for the opportunity, and give Li Yunlong a fatal blow."
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the division commander, I've already arranged it. When the 21st and 22nd Divisions begin to move, we will fish in troubled waters. The adjutant said to Muto Mikudo with his head down.
"Yo Xi."
Compared with the singing and dancing on Muto's side, Li Yunlong's side is a little depressed.
At this time, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie sat together, discussing the last details of this sweep.
"Lao Zhao, how is the evacuation of the people?" Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang on the side.
"It's almost time to evacuate, and it's estimated that it will be over in two days. However, it has little to do with our operation and will not have any impact on this operation. Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang raised his head and responded.
"What about the people in the 358th regiment station, how is the evacuation going?" Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang again.
"Some of them were mobilized, but most of them still didn't want to leave, they couldn't help it, they still didn't believe us in the end." Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang sighed a little entangled and replied.
"If you don't go, you won't go, there's no way, anyway, we've done our best, Lao Zhao, don't blame yourself too much." Seeing that Zhao Gang's expression was a little bad, Li Yunlong opened his mouth and comforted.
"I'll mobilize later, and if they still don't listen to the persuasion, then let them go." Zhao Gang said with some reluctance.
Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong said: "Okay, you can go again after the meeting, if they don't leave, don't force it, just do your best." ”
"Don't worry, Lao Li, I know all this."
After listening to Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong turned to look at Ding Wei and said, "Old Ding, let's talk about the situation of your new second regiment first, how is it now, and are you ready." ”
"Lao Li, our new second regiment has completed the construction of all the fortifications according to the plan, and all the soldiers of the whole regiment have entered the wartime state, and now we are waiting for the little devil to come to the door." Ding Wei responded to Li Yunlong.
Hearing Ding Wei's words, Li Yunlong turned to look at Kong Jie on the side and asked, "Old Kong, where is your independent regiment?" ”
"Lao Li, don't worry, our independent regiment, like Lao Ding's new second regiment, has now entered the fortifications, just wait for the devil to come and fight with him." Kong Jie knocked the ash in his pipe with his hand, and then said to Li Yunlong.
"Okay, now that everyone is ready, let's fight this battle next, and let the little devil see the power of our Eighth Route Army." Li Yunlong heard the words of Ding Wei and Kong Jie and said to the two. After finishing speaking, he shouted to the tiger at the door:
"Huzi, go, call the monk over to me."
"Yes, Captain." Hearing Li Yunlong's order, Huzi immediately turned around and went to the elite brigade to find Wei Dayong.
Because with the expansion of the new regiment, the elite squad has also expanded from the previous squad to the brigade, after all, there are more soldiers, and there are more soldiers who select elite soldiers.
Moreover, the achievements of the elite squad during this period of time also convinced everyone, and no one complained about the important materials in the regiment to the elite squad.
The elite squad has also expanded from dozens of people before to more than 100 people now, Li Yunlong thought that after a while, Wei Dayong and they would make some contributions, so they changed the name of the unit and directly changed it to a special combat team, after all, the name of the elite squad is really a bit overflowing.
Hearing that Li Yunlong sent someone to call Wei Dayong, Kong Jie's eyes lit up, he also knew about the elite team in the new regiment, and he was envious before, thinking that he would take advantage of this opportunity to study.
So Kong Jie spoke: "Lao Li, in this battle, can this elite team of your regiment lend me and Lao Ding to make a move, just let the two of us learn from it." ”
Hearing Kong Jie's request, Li Yunlong thought that the three regiments were a whole in this battle, and shared the honor and disgrace, so he replied: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll talk to the monk, and let him shoot some people to your two regiments to sabotage the little devil." When the devils attack, let them search for the devil's artillery positions, and if there is a chance, kill the devil's artillery unit first, so that it will be easier for us to defend. In the next battle, we will be much less stressed. ”
"If that's the case, it would be great, the little devil has no artillery, just like a tiger without teeth, I think he will not be able to be scolded." After Ding Wei heard Li Yunlong's words, he said calmly, his mood improved a lot at first glance, after all, the combat effectiveness of the elite team and the two of them are also obvious to all.
After Ding Wei finished speaking, Wei Dayong's voice came from outside: "Report, head of the regiment, you look for me." ”
Then several people in the room looked at Wei Dayong, and Li Yunlong spoke: "Monk, there is an important task to be handed over to you by calling you over this time, and you also know that the devils will do something to us soon, you send some people to the place where Regiment Commander Ding and Regiment Commander Kong are, to sabotage the devil's logistics supply line, and find the devil's important combat targets, such as artillery positions, military commanders, etc., to sabotage or kill." ”
"Yes, regimental commander, I'll go back all day to arrange for the personnel to leave." Wei Dayong gave Li Yunlong a military salute and said.
"Pay attention to safety on the road, remember to tell the soldiers, be careful when you move, and come back alive."
"Got it, Commander." Wei Dayong agreed, then turned and walked out the door.
Looking at the back of Wei Dayong leaving, Li Yunlong turned to Ding Wei and Kong Jie and said: "It's nothing, you two go back, after Lao Zhao transfers the people, the devil is almost about to start an operation, so we don't have much time, when the time comes, we must strengthen cooperation and close contact, and we must completely crush this sweep of the devil." ”
"Then we won't bother you, farewell." Ding Wei and Kong Jie responded to Li Yunlong's words, and then the four of them dispersed and began to prepare separately.
And in the county town of Ping'an, Muto Mibi and his adjutant were waiting for the arrival of the 21st and 22nd divisions of the Kwantung Army at the gate of the city.
It didn't take long for a military truck to slowly drive towards the city gate, stopping directly in front of Muto Miji, and then seven or eight people got out of the car and surrounded the two senior officers.
"Muto-kun, I've been waiting for a long time, I'm Miki Tojo, the commander of the 21st Division of the Kwantung Army." And the commander of the 21st Division, Tojo Miki, said to Muto Mikaku.
"Long admiration, Tojo-kun, welcome to you." Muto Mitsubi heard Tojo Miki's words, quickly stretched out his hand, and then beckoned.
"Muto-kun, hello, I'm the commander of the 22nd Division, Ichiro Honda." The commander of the 22nd Division of the Kwantung Army also introduced himself to Muto Mitsubi.
After all, in the future combat mission, Muto will need three times the assistance, so the tone of his speech is a little polite, otherwise he will be a defeated general of one of the Zhina Army, and he will not be able to sit on an equal footing with the two at all, and it will be good to laugh at him without laughing at him, so polite to use it.
"Long admiration, long admiration, welcome to your arrival." Muto Sandou put his attitude very low, after all, the future battle will depend on others, and although they are all division commanders of the same level, but after all, they are the Kwantung Army, known as the flower of the army, and their influence in the Japanese army is simply incomparable to other troops.
"You two, I have prepared a welcome banquet for you two in the city, so come with me into the city. Let's talk while we eat. Mitsubi Muto said to Ichiro Honda and Miki Tojo, and made a gesture of please.
"There's Rau Taketo-kun."
"Yes, there is Lao Wu Fuji-kun."
The two said very politely, although they looked down on the defeated generals of this branch army, but the two of them did not show their faces, after all, this is other people's territory, maybe they will need his assistance in future battles.
Then, under the leadership of Muto Mibi, Tojo Miki and Honda Ichiro followed Muto's Mitsubi's pace and walked towards Heian County.
At this time, the eyes of the new regiment ambushed in Ping'an County also passed the news of the arrival of the commanders of the 21st and 22nd Divisions of the Japanese Army to Li Yunlong.
"Damn, I didn't expect the little devil to sneak in in front of our eyes." After receiving the news, Li Yunlong lost his temper in the regiment headquarters.
"Commander, there must be no good thing for the little devils to come to invite Ping'an County, maybe they are discussing how to deal with us." Zhang Dabiao on the side said.
"That's right, this Muto triple has already seen us unpleasant, before we didn't have the strength to compromise us, but now as soon as the reinforcements arrive, they will start to stand up." Li Yunlong looked at the map and said to Zhang Dabiao.
"Commander, instead of this, why don't we give him a first strike." Zhang Dabiao's eyes narrowed and said with a smile.
As the commander of the first battalion of the new regiment, Zhang Dabiao's ability to find command is still okay, although he is still at the level of a battalion commander, but in fact he is properly treated at the level of a regiment commander.
The strength in hand is not much less than that of a regular regiment, and the weapons and equipment are still the best in the entire new regiment.
"Oh, how to say, talk about your specific thoughts." Hear Zhang Dabiao's words? Li Yunlong turned to look at him, and then asked.
Zhang Dabiao was not ambiguous when he heard Li Yunlong's words, and came directly to the front of the regiment and said to Li Yunlong: "Regiment commander, you see, we can take advantage of the fact that the devils have not launched an attack now, and take advantage of their carelessness to organize the troops to use the cover of night to move directly to the outside of Ping'an County, give him a siege, and then let the people of the elite brigade go out to find the camps of these two divisions, and it is best to find the location of their artillery and destroy it, although there is no guarantee of what the harvest will be, But at least you can give the devils a blow and scare them psychologically. ”
Hearing Zhang Dabiao's words, Li Yunlong thought carefully and felt that it was feasible, so he shouted to Huzi outside the door: "Huzi went to call Wei Dayong and Wang Chengzhu over, and said that there was an important task to be handed over to them." ”
Li Yunlong thought that since he wanted to steal the battalion, he would simply move more and send the artillery over, although the large-caliber artillery movement was a little slow, but the 92 infantry artillery and mortar grenadiers were still okay, and it would be much more convenient for them to take more Rome with them. Besides, if you find the devil's barracks, you can withdraw after two shots, and you don't have to fight.
"Yes, Captain." Huzi agreed, and then ran out of the yard to find someone.
After Huzi left, Zhang Dabiao looked at Li Yunlong and asked, "Regiment commander, do you want the artillery to join in and give the little devil a hard time." ”
"That's right, if you want to do it, let's just move a little bigger, and we can't let the little devils think that we are petty." Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao with a smile.
After saying that, the two continued to study the map, and after a while, Huzi brought the two over.
"Commander, are you looking for me?"
"Commander, what's the task?"
Wei Dayong and Wang Chengzhu said to Li Yunlong after entering the house.
"Monk, Zhuzi, there is a task for the two of you, let the overnight rush to the outskirts of Ping'an County tonight, and the monk is responsible for leading the members of the elite brigade to find the camp where the devils are stationed, and then give me a damn blow. How's that, is there a problem? Li Yunlong commanded the two with a serious expression.
"No problem, Captain, when are we leaving?" Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Wei Dayong asked with some flexibility, I have been making a little fuss during this time, and I am really a little bored, and I am finally going to move it today, so Wei Dayong is a little excited.
Li Yunlong looked at the time and replied: "Set off now, you can almost arrive in the second half of the night, and after finding the target, you can fire the cannon directly, as for how much success it can cause, there is no requirement, but there is one thing you must come back safely." ”
"Yes, regimental commander, no problem, I'll go back and gather the brothers of the artillery company now, and then pull up the artillery and set off immediately." Wang Chengzhu gave Li Yunlong a military salute and said.
"Okay, I'll let the cavalry company cover you in this operation, pay attention to safety, go early and return early and don't fall in love with the battle." Li Yunlong was not at ease and instructed aside.
Before, he wanted to give the devil a pot, just while the two Kwantung Army division commanders were in Ping'an County, and then sent troops to knock down the county, and then felt that the movement was too big, after all, there can be two divisions of Japanese troops on the periphery, and the new regiment is impossible to quickly knock down the county, if you wait for the devil's reinforcements to come over and open a siege for him, then you will be finished.
At this time, in Ping'an County, there was a lot of singing and dancing, and Muto was drunk three times with the two commanders of the Kwantung Army.
After eating and drinking, he must do something meaningful, so Muto Mitsubi arranged two Japanese singers for each of the two division commanders.
At this time, there was a place called Tujiabao on the east side of the periphery of Ping'an County.
"Company Commander Wang, the devil's barracks have been explored, and it's in this position." On a dirt slope, a member of an elite squad said to Wang Chengzhu.
"Thanks, you'll see." Wang Chengzhu got the coordinates of the devil barracks and waved his hand to the soldiers of the artillery company behind him.
