Chapter 526 Huang Yu: The Japanese Army Hasn't Had the Courage to Kill It
Major General Hase was confused. He took the information and read it several times before handing it to the chief of staff. He walked quickly to the sand table and stared at Shunping County, his face became more solemn. After a while, he started to give the order: "Send someone to investigate immediately.
Shunping County."
"I don't care what method you use, you must send me the latest information about Shunping County before dark!"
He turned around and continued to order to the chief of staff: "Quick brigade, second infantry brigade, replenish ammunition immediately, assemble and stand by!"
"The Second Regiment of the Security Brigade is also ready to attack. Go give the order now!"
In Shunping City, Huang Yu was taking Kong Jie to inspect the street fighting fortifications he had built in the city!
Pointing to the shooting holes on the courtyard wall, he introduced: "Captain, we have opened shooting holes on all the courtyard walls adjacent to the streets and alleys in the city... As long as the Japanese and puppet troops stay on the streets, they will not be able to avoid us no matter where they hide.
Rain of bullets!”
Pushing the door open and walking into the courtyard, he pointed to a pile of corn stalks in the corner and said, "We dug a hole in the courtyard wall here!"
"It is usually covered with straw. When the troops are in danger, they can move from here to the side yard at any time..."
As he talked, he separated the straw in the corner, and then without any politeness, he drilled along the hole in the wall into the side yard!
Kong Jie followed closely behind and followed Huang Yu into the house.
Huang Yu pointed to the ordinary stove in front of him and said: "This family is very cautious and dug the cellar inside the stove..."
"We continue to dig deeper along the cellar and have connected several surrounding cellars together. The troops can not only move quickly through the wall holes, but also drill tunnels!"
Kong Jie's face was already full of smiles.
These tunnels and street fighting fortifications are the capital of the Duer Regiment's decisive battle with the Japanese.
The stronger the fortifications and the more complex the tunnel network, the higher the chance of winning for the Duer Group.
After drilling the tunnel myself, I was very satisfied and asked: "How many days will it take for the tunnel network in the county to be completed..."
"Is there any movement from the Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding? It's been five days. I'm worried that they might come over at any time!"
Huang Yu thought for a while and replied: "The tunnel network in the city can be completed in two days at most..."
"The most troublesome thing is the tunnel inside the city that connects the outside of the city!"
"In order to prevent accidents, I dug a total of six... The six main platoons took turns working in shifts, working day and night. Now I have dug more than 300 meters, and it will take four days to complete!"
"We haven't received any enemy information report from the special forces so far, which means there are no signs of Japanese and puppet troops gathering in Baoding, and we don't know that Shunping County has changed hands!"
"There should be enough time!"
Kong Jie thought for a moment and replied: "I hope so..."
"It's still early, let's stop by the South Korean Village camp to take a look!"
"That is our first blocking position against the Japanese... We must fight a tough battle to anger them. The fortifications are stronger than those in the city, otherwise the troops fighting there will die in vain!"
Just as Huang Yu was about to lead the way, Chen Jia, the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion of the garrison regiment, suddenly ran over: "Captain, the little devil seems to know that Junping was captured by us?"
"Don't be anxious, tell me in detail, how did you judge it?" Huang Yu asked quickly.
"There are little Japanese spies among the people we moved outside the city... We discovered the information sent by these spies!" Chen Jia reported anxiously.
"After interrogation, I found out that this was the third time he had sent intelligence. The first intelligence was sent out yesterday!"
"When I came over, there were obviously a lot more unfamiliar faces walking around. There must be a lot of Japanese and puppet army spies among them!"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Dayong, commander of the second battalion, ran over: "Commander, suddenly many Japanese and puppet army scouts appeared outside the city, and a few people wanted to enter the city. After arresting them, it was found out after interrogation that they were sent by Baoding.
agents..."
The sound of horse hoofbeats then reached Huang Yu's ears. When he looked up, he saw two cavalrymen rushing towards them...
When there were still more than ten meters away, he jumped down before the horse could stop, and rushed over at a trot: "Report to the captain... Captain Duan asked me to come back and report!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding already know about our capture of Shunping. The rapid reaction brigade, the second infantry brigade, and the second regiment of the security brigade are replenishing ammunition and are gathering and on standby!"
Including Kong Jie, everyone around him had a solemn expression on his face.
The Japs have even assembled their troops, and the final attack is not far away.
As for the Duer Regiment, which had not even repaired the tunnel yet and rushed into the battle, it would definitely be them who suffered.
Faced with this bad news, everyone's face cast a shadow.
Huang Yu had a completely opposite expression on his face.
The first time he saw Chen Jia, he was afraid that something might happen to the people who had moved out of the city. His heart suddenly rose to his throat and he was very nervous.
After listening to the report, Duan Peng sent someone back to confirm that only the Japanese army knew about Shunping's change of hands. His tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he looked at Kong Jie and said calmly!
"Captain...this is not a big deal!"
"Don't look at the little devils who are very powerful. They gathered more than 3,000 puppet troops when they came up and were ready to go... But before we know our true strength, no matter how bold we are, we will not dare to launch an attack rashly!"
"Don't forget, until now, the garrison regiment has been operating outside under the banner of the Northern Shanxi Independent Regiment!"
"The Northwest Shanxi Independent Regiment has a good reputation. Even if there are only three main battalions, the Baoding Japanese army will not dare to act rashly!"
"We continue to repair fortifications and dig tunnels as planned..."
"The Japanese want to find out our true strength, but I won't let them get their way..."
"Let all the scouts and special forces of the two regiments take action to capture the scouts, messengers, intelligence personnel, and spies sent by the Japs to Shunping..."
"One day later that Baoding City figures out our strength will give the troops one more day to prepare!"
"By the way, we can also capture some handy box cannons!"
"Short guns are a powerful tool for street fighting. They are easier to use than rifles. They can also be used for self-defense in critical situations!"
"The enemy pretended to be ordinary people and sneaked into Shunping for reconnaissance, and could only be equipped with short guns... If we seize one more box cannon, we will be able to kill more Japs and sacrifice fewer soldiers in street fighting in the future!"
Kong Jie calmed down at the same time, glanced at the subordinates around him and ordered: "Xiao Huang is right..."
"In the eyes of the Japanese, there are at least 4,000 Eighth Route Army troops assembled in Shunping, half of whom are from the Northwestern Shanxi Independent Regiment!"
"No matter how bold I am, he won't dare to attack us rashly!"
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles... By the time they find out our true strength, the position will have been repaired long ago!"
"When the time comes, we will eat as many as the little devils come..."
"Strive for a battle to give the base area a period of three to four months of peaceful development!"
"Everyone, please go to your places... keep doing whatever you have to do. If something happens, Xiao Huang and I will be there to take care of you..."
After saying that, he ordered Huang Yu: "Let's continue to go to South Korea Village to check the position..."
"Try to give the little devil a head-on blow there!"
At the Japanese brigade headquarters in Baoding, Major General Hase waited anxiously for the intelligence section chief to finally appear in front of him before dark.
"Reporting to the brigade leader: The latest intelligence received by me shows that Shunping County has indeed been lost!"
"The Eighth Route Army that occupied the county town even made bold promises to fight us in Shunping!"
"In order to avoid accidental injuries, the common people in the city were moved out of the city a few days ago... The information I received was from the intelligence officers lurking among the common people!"
"Who did it?" Major General Hase asked, suppressing his anger.
"Northwestern Shanxi Independent Regiment... I found out about it when the intelligence personnel were transferred!" the head of the intelligence section quickly replied.
"It is indeed them!" Major General Hase became even more angry!
"Based on what I know about the Duer Regiment, they definitely don't have the strength to conquer Shunping County!"
"The Northwestern Shanxi Independent Regiment is indeed worthy of its reputation...it took one of our county towns!"
"How many people are there and how are their equipment?"
The head of the intelligence section shook his head: "This hasn't been clarified yet..."
"The Eighth Route Army occupied Shunping and began to relocate the people, sealing the city gates and not allowing anyone to enter or exit Shunping... Our intelligence officers are all outside the city, and we don't yet know their strength and equipment!"
"Then continue the investigation..." Major General Hase ordered angrily.
"As soon as it gets light tomorrow, let the aviation troops be dispatched, bring bombs, and bomb the Shunping arsenal, the city head, and the garrison at low altitude to force out the Eighth Route Army hiding in the city and take the opportunity to find out their strength and equipment!"
The person in charge of intelligence was worried about this task. Unexpectedly, the brigade commander had already thought of a solution for him, and he quickly accepted the order: "The general is wise, and I am humble enough to make arrangements now!"
The second update is delivered today! Please order in full!
