Chapter 91: Poking the hornet's nest
At the headquarters of the First Army of the North China Army of the Japanese Chinese Dispatch Army in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka received a telegram from Watanabeno Shaosa, the captain of the Watanabe Brigade stationed in Pingyuan County, and finally had some smiles on his face.
The Watanabe Brigade has successfully recaptured Zhangzhuang this morning with the cooperation of the Army Aviation Brigade, and it is unknown that the enemy has fled after sacking Zhangzhuang, and a small number of enemy troops driving our tanks have inflicted heavy damage on our troops, and have been completely annihilated by our troops. In addition, our ministry is in urgent need of ammunition, medicine, and food supplies.
After listening to Inoue Shu's reading of the telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "Sure enough, as I expected, it was done by Tsuchibachi, and I will leave after the fight." ”
Inoue replied: "The enemy who basically attacked Zhangzhuang was Li Yunlong's department of the Eighth Route Army, which is exactly his combat style, sneak attack, night battle, and looting. ”
Yoshio Shinozuka snorted: "Call back." ”
Inoue hurriedly opened the notebook.
"The Watanabe Brigade is holding on to Zhangzhuang and waiting for reinforcements, and the Ishibashi Wing and Sato Wing of the Abe Brigade have set out from Pingyin for reinforcements and can reach Zhangzhuang within a day. The required supplies will be airdropped to your unit. ”
Inoue took notes, looked up and saw that Yoshio Shinozuka had no other instructions, and saluted and prepared to go out to send a telegram.
At this moment, a junior sergeant rushed to the door of Yoshio Shinozuka's office and shouted, "Report." ”
Yoshio Shinozuka frowned slightly, and Inoue saw that the junior sergeant was one of his telegraph operators, and hurriedly walked over.
The junior sergeant hurriedly handed the telegram in his hand to Inoue, Inoue glanced at it hurriedly, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, his expression changed and he walked quickly to Yoshio Shinozuka's desk and looked at the frowning Yoshio Shinozuka and said: "Pingyuan County is in an emergency, twelve minutes ago, the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army suddenly launched a fierce attack on Pingyuan County, according to the defenders' estimates, the 358th Regiment dispatched at least three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion. ”
Yoshio Shinozuka's expression changed and asked, "How many defenders are there in Pingyuan County now?" ”
"A squad plus a platoon of the security regiment, less than 100 people."
Yoshio Shinozuka reached for the phone, and Inoue hurriedly held down the phone to help him shake the handle.
"Pick me up for the Army Aviation Brigade."
The phone was quickly connected, and Yoshio Shinozuka gave an order without giving the other party a chance to speak: "Army Aviation Brigade, I am Yoshio Shinozuka, and I order you to immediately dispatch all fighters to reinforce Pingyuan County." ”
The ground air brigade on the outskirts of Taiyuan immediately sounded a piercing siren, and all the combat readiness personnel ran up.
What's the matter, from last night to now, emergency sorties have been ordered one after another, and the plane fuel and bullets haven't had time to fill up.
Yoshio Shinozuka put down the phone heavily, got up, and walked quickly to the map on the wall.
Inoue followed behind Yoshio Shinozuka and whispered: "The 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army dared to take the initiative to attack Pingyuan County, it feels like they are fighting in coordination with the Li Yunlong Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. ”
Yoshio Shinozuka snorted and said expressionlessly: "What a trick to turn the tiger away from the mountain." Ordered, the Miura Wing and the 1st Regiment of the Taiyuan Security Brigade immediately set off to reinforce Pingyuan County, and must completely annihilate the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army that invaded Pingyuan County. ”
Inoue knew that Yoshio Shinozuka would never be transferred to the Taiyuan garrison unless it was absolutely necessary, and now that even the Taiyuan garrison has been mobilized, it is conceivable that the situation he is facing now cannot be underestimated.
Just because of a small Zhangzhuang, all the main forces of the Japanese army in the northwest of Shanxi Province were mobilized.
Inoue looked at Yoshio Shinozuka and asked, "Do you want to revise the telegram sent to the Watanabe Brigade?" ”
Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand: "Zhang Zhuang must not be lost, the order is as usual, and the army aviation brigade is ordered to arrange transport planes to airdrop supplies to Zhang Zhuang." ”
Inoue answered loudly with his head down, turned and trotted away.
Inoue Shu was busy calling and sending telegrams to mobilize troops, and Li Yunlong finally rushed to the brigade headquarters without stopping, and the war horse was so tired that his four legs trembled vigorously, his mouth foamed at the mouth, and his buttocks were swollen by Li Yunlong's horse whip.
Damn, Lao Tzu let you ride for several years, you treat Lao Tzu like this, and when Lao Tzu falls with you in the next life, Lao Tzu rides you to death.
With a pop, the war horse knelt on the ground, and his body lay on the ground and convulsed.
Where did Li Yunlong have the heart to look at the war horse, he crashed directly into the brigade headquarters, and the sound of opening the door startled Brigade Commander Chen and the room full of people.
Damn, they're in a meeting, who would be so bold as to break in like this?
Seeing that the person who rushed in was Li Yunlong, the room full of people was a little relieved.
The entire 386 Brigade, that is, Li Yunlong, dared to break into the brigade headquarters like this, but today it was a bit excessive.
The political commissar was about to scold Li Yunlong for a few words, but Li Yunlong rushed directly to the table and grabbed Brigade Commander Chen's tea jar, drank the tea in the tea jar in one go, wiped his mouth, pressed his hands on the table, looked at Brigade Commander Chen, and said breathlessly: "Brigade Commander, there is going to be a big battle." ”
Brigade Commander Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Say it slowly." ”
Can't slow down.
Li Yunlong walked quickly to the battle map hanging on the wall, picked up the baton, pointed at Zhang Zhuang and said, "His grandmother's, Xie Baoqing, that dog mongrel stabbed this hornet's nest, and he knocked Zhang Zhuang down." ”
"What?" Brigade Commander Chen, Political Commissar Wang, Deputy Brigade Commander Chen, Deputy Brigade Commander Xu, Chief of Staff Li, Deputy Political Commissar Liu and others at the conference table stood up in unison, they really knew too well how big this hornet's nest was.
It's not a hornet's nest, it's a super big explosive bag.
Once it explodes, the entire northwest of Shanxi and the whole of North China will be shaken.
People gathered around Li Yunlong, and Deputy Brigade Commander Xu, who was the most angry with Li Yunlong, grabbed Li Yunlong's shoulder and asked, "Is this true?" ”
Deputy Brigade Commander Xu was really born in Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, and no matter how much strength he had in his hands, Li Yunlong couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but he still forcibly nodded at Deputy Brigade Commander Xu: "I just rushed over from Dagu Town, and I saw with my own eyes that Dagu Town was burning the corpses of devils, and a big pit was full, at least two or three thousand people, all of whom were killed by Xie Baoqing." ”
In front of Brigade Commander Chen and Deputy Brigade Commander Xu, Li Yunlong also became honest and didn't dare to call himself Lao Tzu.
During the Long March, he was the commander of the Red Fourth Front Army, Deputy Brigade Commander Xu was the commander of the Red Fourth Army, the cavalry commander of the Red Fourth Front Army, and Brigade Commander Chen was the chief of staff of the Red Fourth Front Army.
Deputy Brigade Commander Xu laughed: "This damn Xie Baoqing has an appetite for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu must invite him to drink if he has the opportunity." ”
Deputy Brigade Commander Xu let go of Li Yunlong's shoulder, suddenly remembered something, glared at Li Yunlong with unkind eyes and asked, "I heard that your kid destroyed Xie Baoqing's Black Cloud Village some time ago?" ”
