Chapter 257: The Independent Corps before the War!
Zhang Dabiao lay on the backside of the earth slope, poked his head out next to Li Yunlong, looking at the mighty Japanese below, and had some questions in his heart.
He originally thought that this would be a Japanese army transporting supplies, but now looking at the posture, it looks like a mobilized army, with a population of about 300.
There are more Japanese troops in northwest Shanxi, so why did the regiment commander target this? And at this critical moment.
You should know that at the moment when the Japanese in northwestern Shanxi were deployed on a large scale, they would have to fight against the Eighth Route Army's base.
Under such a tense situation, the order received by the Independent Regiment was to go to Chenjiayu, where the General Command was located, to guard the Deputy Commander-in-Chief!
The senior executives of the Eighth Route Army and those who know Li Yunlong's temperament understand that at this critical moment, it is probably not just for the Independent Regiment to be responsible for the security of the General Command.
This is to tie Li Yunlong's stubborn donkey under the boss's nose, for fear that he would make another mess!
But Zhang Dabiao knew that his leader was so idle that he was like a hungry wolf. Wherever there was meat, there was Li Yunlong there!
Although more than 300 Japanese soldiers below were also meat, at best they were lean meat that was about to carry bones, and they would even have to break their teeth if they were not done properly!
So, looking at the vast Japanese army below, Zhang Dabiao couldn't think of where the piece of meat was fat, which seduced Li Yunlong to chew.
"Captain, I think this piece of meat is not fat either!" Zhang Dabiao murmured in Li Yunlong's ear.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong put down the telescope in his hand, grinned at Zhang Dabiao, and whispered:
"What do you know about it? There are probably a big fish here!"
As he said that, Li Yunlong handed the telescope in his hand to Zhang Dabiao and said:
"Look at what's different about this group of Japanese devils."
Zhang Dabiao took the telescope, looked for a while, and said:
"Captain, I didn't pay attention if you didn't say it. This group of Japanese soldiers seems to be more well-equipped!"
"You guys know the goods!"
Afterwards, Li Yunlong took advantage of this time to tell Zhang Dabiao the reason.
"A few days ago, I took my men and prepared to ambush the Japanese at the Huting stronghold, but found that the Japanese at the Huting stronghold had been replaced!"
"Originally, the Japanese at the Huting stronghold were wearing rubber-soled shoes, but I met them wearing leather shoes!"
"Think about it! What kind of Japanese men wear leather shoes!"
Zhang Dabiao nodded, thinking.
He has long known the Japanese to fight against Japanese devils.
Generally, the Japanese garrisons stationed in the stronghold are composed of defeated troops or new recruits, with low combat power and naturally poor equipment.
The elite Japanese soldiers were generally placed on the front battlefield, such as the 5th Division of the Japanese Army and the 1st and 20th Divisions of the Kwantung Army that initially invaded Shanxi.
The elite Japanese soldiers are naturally useless, from weapons to shoes, they are different from other Japanese soldiers.
Therefore, the Japanese must be the elite troops of the Japanese!
However, the Japanese at the strongholds have been replaced by elites, and even the Japanese passing by below are elites, which is somewhat difficult to understand.
You said the Japanese army came to attack, but the number of people was pitiful and did not seem to have big moves at all.
It is not necessary to say that the Japanese army was dispatching elite troops to consolidate the firmness of northwestern Shanxi in their hands.
In the current form of northwest Shanxi, no matter whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the Jinsui Army, no one is chased by the Japanese army...
Could it be...
Zhang Dabiao already had a guess in his mind.
Subsequently, Li Yunlong's words verified Zhang Dabiao's conjecture.
"Many of the Japanese strongholds have been replaced with elite troops. It is obvious that important people or objects have passed by the northwest Shanxi!"
"Now, looking at the situation below, it must be something!"
As he said that, Li Yunlong raised his telescope and observed it carefully.
His guess coincided with Li Yunlong's opinion. Zhang Dabiao was a little excited, rubbed his frozen hands, and quietly touched the 5 and 6th squad behind him with a machine gun.
The entire independent regiment's first battalion was also ready, the bullets had been loaded, and the grenades had also been unscrewed. As long as Li Yunlong gave the order, they would charge at any time!
...
Chenjiayu, the location of the Eighth Route Army Command.
Faced with the current fierce situation of the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army Command decided to transfer the Independent Regiment of the 129th Division and the 771st Regiment to be responsible for defending the safety of the Command.
Of course, the bosses of the command center also had the idea of tying Li Yunlong, the stubborn donkey, to their side. First, because this guy is a good guy in war and is very reliable in charge of security work.
Second, this guy often jumps up and down. If he doesn't obey orders, it's not nearly once or twice. At this time, who can stand the sensitive nerves of the Japanese?
In their opinion, the Japanese at this time were the hornet's nest that exploded, and Li Yunlong was the pole that stabbed the hornet's nest, so the bosses had to throw the pole away.
After all, in northwest Shanxi, the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army were almost breathless in the northwest Shanxi.
But they didn't expect that at this time, the "pole" that poked the hornet's nest had already run out by itself, and were preparing to give the Japanese army a hornet's nest a bit!
In fact, Li Yunlong has this opportunity to take advantage of, and it has nothing to do with the boss’ decisions.
After discussion, the Independent Regiment was responsible for guarding the west and north directions of the General Command. These two directions were surrounded by mountains and cliffs on the other side. The terrain was steep. Not to mention that one man was in a pass, it also had the advantage of the terrain. If the Japanese army wanted to attack from here, it would be several times more difficult than the east and south directions.
Because on the east and south sides are dry rivers and on the other side are vast plains, it greatly reduces the defensive advantages of the defenders.
And the 771st Regiment is the east and south directions.
