Chapter 214: Tailgating
The operation of the new regiment was temporarily put on hold by the Japanese army, but they went all out to deal with He Jiaming.
The news that various counties in Taiyuan area were dispatched on a large scale, and at the same time, the fire was still being extinguished in Taiyuan City, and martial law was imposed on the whole city at the same time.
The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army with the 129th Division got the news!
In the headquarters, the boss looked at the telegram and said: "The plan of the new regiment was reported before, and we agreed, and now it seems that the effect has indeed come out, temporarily buying time for the new regiment." ”
"It's just that the Japanese army hates He Jiaming to the core, this is temporarily ignoring the Jinzhong region, and the right to encircle and suppress the reconnaissance battalion!"
"I wonder how long they can pin down the enemy?"
The deputy general manager said: "Comrade He Jiaming was full of confidence before, I believe that he can take the enemy in circles, for such a long time, Comrade He Jiaming has proved his ability!" ”
"However, will the casualties of the reconnaissance battalion be very large?"
"That's for sure!" The boss didn't think that the reconnaissance battalion could be left unscathed.
"Let Li Yunlong's movements be faster, be sure to stand firm, his time is only about a month!"
……
He Jiaming left the vicinity of Taiyuan City with the reconnaissance battalion, although there was no specific direction, but all the way to the north.
It is necessary to take away the enemy's main forces and stay away from the Jinzhong area, so as to prevent the enemy from being unable to catch them and suddenly go to the Jinzhong area, and be sure to buy more time for the main forces.
The movements of the new regiment will not be small, they only attack Liao County, not other counties, and all of them are active in rural areas.
It is still very simple to quickly occupy rural areas, surround the county seat, and clean up strongholds and artillery towers with the firepower of a new regiment, but the most time-consuming thing is to occupy the hearts of the people and dig tunnels.
But these are our forte, He Jiaming is not very worried, as long as there is enough time.
He Jiaming did not take a small road, but moved along the side of the main road, jumping over some enemy turrets and strongholds, and interspersed with the enemy's side.
So that the enemy could not judge the specific direction of his actions, and the enemy all moved in the direction of Taiyuan, and at the same time blocked the surrounding traffic arteries.
However, there are thousands of roads, and the reconnaissance battalion fired a large number of mortar shells before, and now there are not a lot of baggage, and it is a light operation.
The requirements for the road are not high, and He Jiaming has a system minimap, so he can find all kinds of trails, and he doesn't need a guide to lead the way.
The entire reconnaissance battalion easily crossed the enemy's so-called blockade line and entered the territory of Loufan County, where it encountered the strength of a large battalion of the enemy.
He Jiaming took the reconnaissance battalion into hiding, and then checked the enemy's situation.
It was a standard Japanese brigade of about 1,100 men, carrying two Type 92 infantry guns, four infantry squadrons, and one machine gun squadron.
Sharp soldiers were sent to the front, but the march was fast, not to search and advance, but to get an order to quickly go to the Taiyuan area.
It's just that Loufan County is relatively large, and they carried heavy equipment and baggage, so they arrived at the edge of Loufan County at this time.
He Jiaming was ready to eat this devil brigade, but the effect of the ambush would not be ideal, because the enemy's strength was twice that of him, and it was difficult to cause large-scale attrition under the ambush.
The effect of the first shot is not high now, and if you ambush two squadrons at most, there will be large-scale casualties if you ambush more, which is very disadvantageous to yourself.
And the most effective way is to attack at night, quietly touch in, and directly shorten the combat distance, which is the most effective means.
As long as you don't shoot, you can quietly carry out the assassination, the fighters of the old reconnaissance company have some experience, and once they shoot, then they directly solve the battle with pistols and grenades.
The key is whether it will alarm the devils when you touch it, as long as you don't alarm them, the thing is half the battle.
"Keep up!" He Jiaming took the reconnaissance company to make a U-turn, followed, followed the Japanese brigade to move, and re-advanced in the direction of Taiyuan.
Until the sky darkened, the enemy camped on the spot and began to make a fire to cook, while He Jiaming took Liao Gensheng, Sun Xi, Su Zheng, and Li Dashan to lurk on the side of the mountain, and used binoculars to observe the enemy's camp.
He Jiaming began to draw the map, and this time he had to be more careful, because there were too many enemies, and they were all combat troops, and their posts and patrols would be deployed very tightly.
It's not easy to get in easily!
Also observe the surrounding terrain to see from which direction you can dive in, after all, whether the terrain is conducive to stealth is also a key issue.
"Battalion commander, why is it so detailed this time?" Su Zheng asked from the side.
He Jiaming glanced at him, "What?" Want to get your braids up? ”
"How can you!" Su Zheng smiled.
"The enemy's strength is twice ours, the ambush is of little effect, in the event of an exchange of fire, we will kill and wound at most a third of their troops, and then we must retreat immediately, but the enemy will not let us go easily!"
"Now I, He Jiaming, am a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese army, Yoshio Shinozuka sent troops out of the city for the first time yesterday, this is a judgment, after all, the main force of the regiment attacked Liao County at the same time."
"This is also the result we want, seeing that this brigade is not, the rapid march is directly in the direction of Taiyuan, this is to find us!"
"So, once we are exposed, the enemy will immediately encircle us on a large scale!"
"We must be careful and careful in our actions, it is best not to use our guns, but it is very difficult, after the expansion of our reconnaissance battalion, the combat effectiveness will definitely drop a little!"
Su Zheng nodded, "I understand, let the veterans take knives at night!" ”
"Hmm!" He Jiaming then lowered his head and began to write and draw again, mainly observing the terrain around the camp through the small map, constantly zooming in, even if it was a small dirt bag.
At the same time, a line was worked out, led by him, sneaking into the camp and touching the sentries in this direction, but the patrol posts were definitely not easy to get, and it was still necessary to see the enemy's night deployment.
"Alright, retreat and rest first, and come back in the evening!"
"Yes!"
A few people quietly left, and the enemy did not know that death was infinitely close.
In Taiyuan City, Yoshio Shinozuka checked the situation of the arsenal, and it was miserable!
The loss of the stored materials was serious, and only some warehouses in marginal locations escaped the disaster, "What is the situation now?" ”
"The statistics have been completed, before it was too high to enter, and now the statistics are finally completed, this is the list of losses, we have lost one and a half divisions of weapons and equipment, as well as five bases of ammunition!"
"Hmm......" Yoshio Shinozuka had a headache.
