Du Aiguo's guess was correct. When Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan led his people to the hospital, they ran into a little trouble.
Originally, everyone disguised themselves as puppet troops and everything went smoothly.
Chen Quan also ordered the capture of a puppet army doctor, and then asked the puppet army doctor to lead the way. According to Kong Jie's instructions, all the medicines in the hospital were taken away.
There are drugs such as antibacterial sulfonamides and paclitaxel, as well as penicillin and commonly used sedatives and analgesics, such as morphine and aspirin.
Due to limited sanitary conditions, Shen Quan was aware of the vulnerability of Eighth Route Army soldiers to malaria, so anti-malarial drugs, such as quinine and Bupleurum concentrate, were not spared by Shen Quan.
Everything originally went well. Next, Shen Quan led the soldiers to the kitchen of the hospital according to the plan. When he was about to take away kitchen utensils and some nutrients, he bumped into several Japanese soldiers recuperating in the hospital. One of the Japanese soldiers was a lieutenant. .
The medical level of the hospital of the Third Army Group of the North China Public Security Army is pretty good, so some Japanese who are nearby will also come here for treatment.
The little Japs have always been arrogant here, so although the Japs in front of him are just a lieutenant, they don't take Shen Quan and the others seriously at all.
The Japanese lieutenant even noticed that there was something wrong with Shen Quan and his party, and asked why Shen Quan and others appeared in the hospital.
When questioned, the Japanese lieutenant pulled out the bastard box from his waist.
Seeing this, Shen Quan was too lazy to talk nonsense with the Jaap Lieutenant. The situation was urgent and there was no need to think too much. Shen Quan directly drew his gun and killed the Jaap Lieutenant.
The few remaining Japanese were shot to death randomly.
Now Shen Quan and his party were completely exposed. The puppet soldiers in the surrounding area who heard the gunshots quickly rushed towards the hospital to investigate.
At this time, Shen Quan and his soldiers had completed the search.
By the way, many puppet soldiers and Japanese doctors were captured.
Seeing the ungrateful puppet troops blocking the way, the two sides exchanged fire. Shen Quan used firepower to suppress the approaching puppet troops from the front, and then ordered two teams to detour from the flanks to quickly deal with the approaching puppet troops, and then rushed out all the way. According to the pre-planned location, waiting to meet Kong Jie and his party.
The fighting situation intensified.
It's just that the main forces of several groups of the North China Security Army have followed the Japanese army and encircled them in the direction of Lijiapo. The number of troops left in the city is already empty. In addition, it is Zhan Wuzha, so how can it be an independent group? Opponent?
Kong Jie led a group of people who robbed the arsenal, Shen Quan led a group of people who robbed the hospital, and First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu led a group of people who robbed the Japanese material warehouses and arms warehouses.
Several groups of people came out and killed the puppet soldiers in the city. They then converged towards the city gate, and a dozen trucks opened the way ahead.
The puppet army officers who stayed at the security army headquarters at the county seat were not slow to respond. They quickly ordered all forces to gather and rushed to the city gate in advance, preparing to use the city gate's easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack wall to block this group of invading enemies.
Army.
At the same time.
The news that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army invaded the home base of the North China Security Army in one fell swoop and raided arsenals, hospitals and major warehouses spread like a tide.
Taiyuan City.
Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army's First Army Headquarters in Shanxi, soon learned of the news.
This made Yoshio Shinozuka angry and shocked at the same time.
Who would have thought that when the main forces of the Japanese army on the front line were encircling Lijiapo, a fish would jump out of the net in advance and be so bold as to invade the hinterland of the security forces and rob the arsenal and hospital.
Although it was a heavy loss to the security forces.
But the North China Security Army was not supported by little devils.
……
The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Chu Yunfei was also surprised when he received the news.
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong said with emotion: "Commander, this Kong Jie is really audacious and even a little stupid. He has so rashly gone deep into the hinterland of the North China Security Army. Isn't he afraid that he can get in but not get out?"
Chu Yunfei smiled, and the surprise on his face turned into admiration: "Brother Ligong, war has been an extremely dangerous thing since ancient times. If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?
In my opinion, this is not stupid. Think about the Bantian Regiment and Qu County not long ago. If coupled with the Lijiapo Yamazaki Brigade incident, they can seize this fleeting military opportunity in various complex situations.
, Commander Kong is really a rare military genius!"
……
The other side.
The news reached the Eighth Route Army.
The leaders of the headquarters, division headquarters, and brigade headquarters were also a little dumbfounded.
The brigade commander cursed: "I made a mistake. This kid Kong Jie is more noisy than that bastard Li Yunlong. It's surprising enough that he left Li Jiapo's Yamazaki Brigade alone and turned around to ambush the Japanese and puppet reinforcements."
.
As a result, this kid was so bold that he actually went straight to the home base of the North China Security Army!
When this kid comes back, see how I deal with him!"
The political commissar couldn't help laughing and said: "Brigadier, just scold me as hard as you can, I'm afraid you'll be happier than anyone else!"
"Punishment, I would like to know, now that Kong Jie is back, how do you plan to punish him?"
The brigade commander said: "It's easy to say, I will punish him... spit out the puppet military hospital and arsenal that he swallowed in his mouth."
The political commissar was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing.
……
After the anger, Yoshio Shinozuka gradually calmed down. He realized that something was not right. The main forces of all parties had clearly surrounded him. Why did this independent group suddenly appear in the hinterland of the North China Security Army?
In addition, according to the news, these Eighth Route Army troops were disguised as security forces and sneaked into the city. The leader was Du Aiguo, the commander of the third regiment of the Third Army.
Could it be that the Tanjing Squadron has...
This bastard Du Aiguo must have rebelled.
And these are still not the things that make Yoshio Shinozuka most uneasy. What makes him most uneasy is that the Communications Department has contacted the Yamazaki Brigade in the direction of Lijiapo many times, but until now, the communication messages that have been sent out are like a mud cow entering the sea and have not been seen at all.
Any response.
But how long had it passed? In less than three hours, had the Yamazaki Brigade been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop?
This is absolutely impossible.
With the eliteness of the Yamazaki Battalion and its powerful firepower configuration, even if the Eighth Route Army encircled the main force and had the ability to destroy the Yamazaki Battalion, it would not be able to do so quickly. It would even reach the Yamazaki Battalion so quickly that even a message could not be conveyed to it.
The most important thing is that if the Yamazaki Battalion has been completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army silently, wouldn't it become the biggest laughing stock if the main forces of the Japanese army surrounded them at this moment?
If all the fish are gone, what’s the use of this net?
Thinking of this, the Yamazaki Brigade immediately contacted the nearest Japanese army in Lijiapo and ordered its troops to lead cavalry scouts and quickly rush to Lijiapo to investigate the exact situation.
Soon after, the Japanese cavalry scouts detected the situation:
No one was seen on Lijiapo, and the whereabouts of the Yamazaki Brigade were also unknown. There were obvious traces of battle on Lijiapo, and the southern slope was almost destroyed by the bomb.
As for what the Yamazaki Brigade said that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has been contained near Lijiapo, it is even more untrue. Within more than ten kilometers around, not even half of the Eighth Route Army team was seen.
At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka was completely confused.
The Yamazaki Brigade will not interrupt communications for no reason. After all, there are hundreds of Imperial Warriors. Now they are missing, and they are probably in danger...
