"Captain!"

Also on the afternoon of March 7th,

Liaoxian County Brigade Station,

Xiaoao Village.

Wu Wenkai stepped on a pair of mille-feuille shoes, took three steps and two steps, and ran all the way into the house where the captain Xu Huzhi was, a cellar-style cave that looked a little dilapidated.

"What's the matter?"

Hearing Wu Wenkai's somewhat anxious voice, Xu Huzhi walked out directly, still carrying a cup of hot tea in his hand.

"We've been tricked by the little devils."

After taking the hot tea, Wu Wenkai was out of breath:

"In the middle of the night last night, the devil transport team that transported materials to the Xiazhuang stronghold set off from Liao County, five horse-drawn carts, and it is estimated that it is almost in Xiazhuang at this time."

Five days ago, after the battle of the United Independent Regiment ambushing the devil's transport team, Xu Huzhi asked the martial arts team to keep an eye on the devil's follow-up transport team.

Another ambush will definitely not work.

Since suffering the big loss of Qiqian Village, the devil has become a lot more honest, and after being ambushed, the follow-up transport team will not only strengthen the escort force, but also no longer be rampant.

But it's perfectly fine to lay a few mines, or shoot some cold guns.

Even, it's not impossible to give the little devil a few grenadier grenades.

At present, there are 800 German-made grenades, more than 20,000 rounds of various bullets, as well as 500 grenade grenades, and some captured devil grenades in the warehouse of the armed engineering team.

Although these attacks can't destroy the convoy and completely destroy the transportation of materials, damaging some materials and killing a few devils are enough to make the little devils feel distressed.

"Last night?"

Xu Hu's face changed, and he snorted coldly:

"Heh, the little devil has become smarter."

He thought that the little devil would strengthen his vigilance and set off smoke bombs to disrupt his vision, but he didn't expect that the little devil would sneak away!

"When the devil convoy set off, the surrounding area was blocked, and our intelligence officers couldn't pass on the news in time."

After taking a sip of tea, Wu Wenkai's tone was much smoother, and he explained the reason why the news was late.

As a real head snake, the martial arts team has many eyelines in Liao County, and it is impossible not to be discovered as a target as big as the devil transport team, but the means of transmitting intelligence are insufficient, which leads to a serious lag in the news.

"Then we..."

Wu Wenkai asked.

"Keep watching, let me know as soon as there's any news."

Xu Hu's face quickly returned to normal.

The means of message transmission, intelligence and communication capabilities, the military engineering team has no way to improve, and even the main force has no way, so it can only rely on two legs, and Xu Huzhi has also thought about raising communication pigeons, but the military engineering team does not have this condition.

Communication pigeons are easy to say, but difficult to raise, and I tried them at the brigade headquarters.

But it doesn't matter.

The coming days are long, and what he has is time to spend with little devils.

····

"Squadron leader, 1,000 kilograms of grain, 500 kilograms of horse feed, two base ammunition have been put into storage."

"Yo Si."

Xiazhuang stronghold.

Looking at the urgently needed materials transported by the five major trucks, the squadron leader stationed in the Xiazhuang stronghold, the male Shangzhi applauded repeatedly.

Five days ago, when he heard that the convoy had been ambushed in Liaozhen, he was so angry that he almost drew his knife and cut people.

What kind of idiots are the imperial troops stationed in the stronghold of Liaozhen?

The Xiazhuang stronghold is in an emergency.

The construction of the road between Xiazhuang and Shangcun is also at a critical moment, and food supplies are urgently needed.

His squadron still has a certain amount of grain storage, so there is no need to worry, but those who build roads must be given a little food, otherwise they will not be able to speed up the construction of roads with whips alone.

As the highway continued to extend, his squadron had to ensure patrol intensity, after all, this was already the base of the Eighth Route Army, and his squadron had to not only be careful of sporadic attacks by the guerrillas, guard against ambushes by the main forces of the Eighth Route of the Soil, but also prevent the guerrillas from sabotaging the construction of the highway and not being able to dispatch manpower to transport supplies.

At this time, the convoy was attacked, and all the supplies and ammunition were looted, which would seriously affect the progress of Commander Tada's cage plan.

is a sinner of the Empire.

Later, the signal corps arrived and brought news from the brigade headquarters, and the man realized that the leader of the imperial army squad stationed in the Liaozhen stronghold was a lieutenant of the Sakata Wing.

The people of the cowards and the waste wing.

Male Wisdom doesn't think it's strange.

It is normal for a guy from an infantry wing who can be defeated from the front by an Eighth Route Legion-level unit, and even the captain of the wing is killed, and he can't protect the material transport team.

It is said that after the convoy was ambushed, the captain of the Tominojima squad was not only injured, but even mentally ill and returned to the rear hospital to recuperate?

It's not even as good as waste!

The man sneered in his heart.

"Let the people speed up the construction of highways."

Retracting his thoughts, Male Uechi gave the order:

"We need to build the road to Shangcun as soon as possible."

Along with the convoy, not only supplies arrived, but also an order from the wing headquarters - in five days, the Kawazu reinforced squadron would arrive in Kamimura and begin the construction of the Kamimura stronghold.

Shangcun is the core area of the so-called Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Road.

Once the Uemura stronghold is established, it means that the locust army has inserted the katana into the heart of the enemy.

"Hey."

Following the order of the male sage, dozens of devils and puppet soldiers immediately held bayonets and brandished whips, and began to urge the people forcibly recruited from the surrounding villages to build roads.

···

"Brigade commander, headquarters news."

The information from the brigade headquarters and the headquarters was also transmitted.

"Kawazu squadron."

"A reinforced infantry squadron of the second class, with a total strength of more than two hundred men, armed with one Type 97 90mm mortar and two Type 92 heavy machine guns."

"Liao County will be reinforced in the near future."

Looking at the information found by the headquarters, the brigade commander frowned.

The devil reinforcements are much stronger than expected.

The brigade commander's initial speculation was that the devil reinforcements from the 29th Brigade should be a non-full infantry squadron, that is, one hundred and thirty or forty devils.

The same number of devils as the Xiazhuang stronghold.

With the current strength of the 386th Brigade, it is easy to eat these devils before the devils react.

But in fact it was a full-fledged infantry squadron of the second class, and it also had a reinforced firepower, with two Type 92 heavy machine guns and one Type 97 90mm mortar.

That's where it gets tricky.

At present, the artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters has sufficient shells, with more than 1,000 rounds of 60 mortar shells and 2,500 grenade grenades, and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition in reserve.

After a while, Li Yunlong still had 40 tons of weapons and ammunition to be delivered.

Theoretically, it is not difficult to concentrate superior forces, form superior firepower, and eat a squadron of devil infantry.

But the problem is that if there is no clear information on the route of the devil's reinforcements, make full preparations, and set up an ambush in advance, you can only urgently mobilize troops to ambush after discovering the devil.

After fighting with the little devil for so long, the little devil is not so arrogant, and he will be more vigilant during the march, and if he is not fully prepared, he will be easily discovered by the devil.

Then it became a field battle.

Even with the current belongings of the 386th Brigade, in the field situation, if you want to eat a reinforced infantry squadron, you have to pay a great price.

Either there are large losses in troops, or there is a lot of ammunition consumption.

It's not cost-effective.

In case this devil Hejin squadron has a radio station, and after discovering the ambush, it shrinks up and sticks to one place to wait for reinforcements, then the 386th Brigade, which has no heavy weapons to attack the fortifications, is very likely to cut off its front teeth before it can be eaten.

This is also the reason why the brigade headquarters did not take action after the devils established a stronghold in Xiazhuang, the doorstep of the Taiyue Military Region.

It's not that you can't beat it.

It's that the cost of beating down is too great.

The 386th Brigade, which lacked materials for attacking fortifications, faced with a stronghold with a devil squadron stationed, a concrete main body, and a well-established circular fortress around it, could only grind slowly and grind out a breakthrough, not to mention ten or so hours before it could be defeated.

Even a day and a night may not be able to beat it down.

The devil's Beijing brigade stationed in Liao County is only more than 60 miles away from Xiazhuang, although there is no telephone line in the Xiazhuang stronghold, but once the troops are dispatched to surround the Xiazhuang stronghold, there will definitely be devils in plainclothes or traitors around.

It's not good, the Beijing Brigade came to reinforce it, and the Xiazhuang stronghold was not defeated.

"The headquarters is concentrating its efforts to find out the route and schedule of the Kawazu squadron."

Seeing the follow-up message, the brigade commander made a decision:

"Order the 772nd Regiment, the 38th Regiment to be ready for battle."

If you can eat it, you can eat it, and if you can't eat it, you have to bite him down with a few pieces of meat, which makes the old devil on the mountain island feel distressed for a while.

···

"When will the Kawazu squadron arrive?"

The next day.

That is, March 8th.

Yu County, the headquarters of the Yamashima Wing, the old devil of Yamashima asks the staff officer every day, the location of the Kawazu squadron.

For reinforcements, the old devil on the mountain island can't wait.

"It has now arrived in Hexian County."

"It is expected that I will arrive in Liao County tonight and leave for Yu County tomorrow, and I am expected to arrive in the afternoon."

The staff officer replied.

He County is less than 30 kilometers away from Liao County in a straight line, the highway is more than 40 kilometers, Liao County is also 30 kilometers away from Yushe in a straight line, and the highway is also about 40 kilometers.

Even if the devil is a first-class division, it has not achieved full mechanization, let alone a second-class infantry squadron.

Under the circumstance that both baggage and weapons need to be carried by the troops themselves, 40 kilometers is the limit that an infantry squadron can reach in a day's march.

"Got it."

Therefore, even if Yamashima couldn't wait, he didn't order the Kawazu squadron to speed up.

····

Meanwhile.

"Apricot ditch."

At the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong looked at the preset ambush position, then his eyes spread around, and finally located the 38th Regiment - Ding Wei's old unit, which was closest to the road from Liao County to Yu County.

After killing the Devil Hezu Squadron, the remaining weapons and ammunition of the independent regiment need to be disposed of somewhere to facilitate the reimbursement of the next mission.

By the way, let the 38th regiment give weapons and ammunition to the brigade headquarters as forty tons of weapons and ammunition paid to the brigade commander.

The reason is simple, help transport the wounded, clean up the battlefield, etc., so as to evacuate as soon as possible before the arrival of devil reinforcements - this does not count as participating in the battle, so it does not violate the terms of the contract.

Of course

It is not clear whether it will work to spend this money twice as a reward for helping to transport the wounded and cleaning up the battlefield, and for the 38th Regiment to be given to the brigade headquarters.

But it doesn't matter.

Li Yunlong has a backup reason.

After the war, the fighters had a lot of physical exertion, gave up their weapons and equipment, retreated lightly, and broke away from the pursuit of the devils!

"Signal Soldier..."

After calling the signal corps and delivering the news to the 38th Regiment, Li Yunlong took the assembled 1st and 2nd Battalions, as well as the transport brigade, and drove towards Xingzigou.
