Chapter 1219 Make a big picture
In troubled times, if you have soldiers in your hands, you have status and capital to gain a foothold.
Therefore, after hearing that the Japanese were willing to use weapons to exchange food from themselves, Chief Yan subconsciously wanted to agree and wanted to continue the business.
Ten thousand rifles, two hundred light and heavy machine guns, plus a large number of mortars, can be put into your own hands and can form two divisions of the Jinsui Army.
Regardless of whether there will be any transactions between me and the Japanese in the future, the equipment that can form more than 10,000 Jinsui Army must be obtained.
"Chief of Staff, have the troops who went to trade with the Japanese have not returned yet? Logically, they should have returned!" At five o'clock in the morning, the tired Chief Yan couldn't help asking.
"No..." the Chief of Staff shook his head and replied.
Then he reminded: "Commander, do you think there will be any conspiracy here? The Japanese soldier was rude to us. He took our food and then did not give us weapons and ammunition!"
"No, definitely not. The Japanese would not be so short-sighted. They affected the overall situation of their entire North China for three million kilograms of food!"
"You have also seen the information sent by Taiyue. Commander Chen of the Eighth Route Army is so good at fighting. How long has it been, he has eaten another brigade of Japanese troops!"
"A infantry corps in front, plus this infantry brigade, five thousand Japanese soldiers were gone. The entire Taiyue suddenly lost 5,000 troops. If the Japanese did not subsidize this gap, with the combat style of the Eighth Route Army, they would definitely seize the opportunity to continue to attack them until the situation in the Taiyue area changed!"
"If the Japanese want to stabilize the situation in Taiyue, they can only mobilize troops from us, and there is no other way out!"
The Chief of Staff knew that Chief Yan was all the truth, and hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "I haven't come back so late, I'm still a little worried!"
"Commander, why don't I draw a company from the cavalry regiment and take a look and pick them up by the way!"
"This is OK!" Chief Yan did not refuse.
At the command of the Japanese Army Division in Linfen City, Lieutenant General Fujino slept very well today.
As long as the food problem is solved, Fujino is confident that under his new round of sweeping and attack, the new Eighth Route Army Regiment will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Smack it..."
Suddenly, the rapid knock on the door woke him up from his sleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, the door was pushed open. The absent-minded chief of staff rushed in.
"Secretary Commander, what happened to the grain?"
"Nani?" Fujino's thought of cursing was gone, and he sat up from the bed after a while.
He stared at the chief of staff and asked, "How could something happen? From the trading location to Linfen City, they were occupied by the Imperial Army. There were also checkpoints controlled by the Imperial Army along the way, and there were also a baggage brigade for escorting along the way. How could something happen?"
The Chief of Staff shook his head and replied: "An hour and a half ago the convoy passed through the last checkpoint ten kilometers in Linfen City. Now two hours have passed, but it has not arrived in Linfen. The cavalry troops have been finding the checkpoint along the highway but have not found it. The huge convoy of more than a thousand large vehicles seems to have disappeared out of thin air!"
Lieutenant General Fujino couldn't sit still, put on a military coat and rushed outside.
This batch of food is really too important to him, and there must be no accidents.
He rushed into the war room and stared at the staff on duty and asked, "Have you found the convoy yet?"
Seeing the staff officer shaking his head, he walked directly to the sand table, pointed to several forks on the sand table and asked: "Will they take the wrong path? They have been on the road these two days!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a communications officer rushed in: "Sir, we have lost contact with the cavalry squad!"
"Where is the last time I contacted the cavalry squad!"
"On this road!" the duty consultant replied!
Lieutenant General Fujino directly judged: "If something happened to them on this road, then there must be something wrong with this road!"
He ordered the chief of staff next to him with a calm face: "There were many Eighth Route Army guerrillas operating in the occupied area, and their main force did not move. It must be those guerrillas who did it. Although I don't know if the convoy has anything to do with them, as long as the convoy is found, everything will be clear!"
"Draw a cavalry squadron and a reinforced infantry squadron from the city, take a car and kill them immediately, be sure to find them!"
The convoy that stretched for five or six kilometers, because there were no torches, was like a ghost in the night, slowly advancing along the highway.
The troops of the two companies investigated back and forth on both sides of the highway to ensure that there were no enemies within 500 meters on both sides of the highway!
Suddenly, Yan Song found Wang Ping and reported: "The regiment commander, the guard battalion telegram, they have fought with a small team of Japanese cavalry, and killed this cavalry team, and seized a radio station, 26 war horses!"
After the report, his eyes became hot.
"Your plan works. Once the guard battalion takes action, the Japanese's attention will definitely be diverted to them. When the Japanese main force kills and finds out the facts, we have arrived at the blockade line!"
"I didn't expect that several big trucks filled with stones and soil would hide the Japanese, and they even tricked them into roaming!"
Wang Ping took the moonlight to look at the watch on his wrist and replied: "There are less than eight kilometers left from the blockade line. We will definitely arrive at 6:30 in the morning!"
"There are three mountain artillery companies, three artillery companies, and a total of more than thirty artillery guns!"
"The stronghold has a battalion of the Imperial Army and a strengthening squad of the Japanese army, and there are no ones in these Imperial Army. Now I will telegram the Chief of Staff. Seeing the signal flares we fired, all the artillery can not stop, so I can fire with all my strength. I will use the artillery shells to tear a hole in the Japanese defense line!"
"Your guard company blocked me six beams. I started to calculate when I heard the sound of cannons. I could hold the position for an hour and a half at all costs. I could not let the Japanese and puppet troops go to the front line with one soldier!"
"The first company blocked the Japanese who might have killed on the left side of the gap, and the second company blocked the Japanese who were on the right. After the gap was opened, I would ask the artillery to send a liaison officer to bring them to the radio station to reinforce them and call them for artillery support!"
"Another telegram to the guard battalion!"
"The Japanese will definitely dispatch heavy troops to retaliate against them. There is no need to fight with the Japanese. Just let the Japanese not find those big carts full of stones before dawn!"
"After dawn, the troops immediately scattered and lurked, and found the operation teams and guerrillas that were active there, and they would not have to come back for the time being!"
"I have a premonition that the Japanese could no longer make food from the Jinsui Army. But the Japanese lacked food, so there was only one way to grab the food that they had bought the people's hearts some time ago!"
"If we really get to this point, while the Japanese occupied areas are tight outside and loose inside, the guard battalion cooperates with local guerrillas and operation teams to crack down on the Japanese and puppet troops robbing grain. Let the people know who is their real friend and who is the enemy. Then expand the troops and expand the Japanese and puppet troops to expand the Japanese and puppet troops occupied areas into the guerrilla areas of our Eighth Route Army."
Yan Song's eyes shone and replied: "Captain, you have laid a big picture for the Japanese! As long as the Japanese are deceived, the Japanese in Linfen City may encounter a catastrophe!"
Wang Ping replied with a serious face: "I just want to kill them! Take down Linfen City and pull out the nail that the Japanese were stuck in our hearts!"
