Xie Baoqing's migrant workers' corps was the earliest migrant workers' corps formed under the Independent Regiment, and its current size has even reached nearly 3,000 people.
Therefore, the manpower of his group of migrant workers is sufficient to take charge of this plan and transport grain to Dafengzhuang.
As the migrant workers' regiment that is mainly responsible for transportation, the migrant workers' regiment No. 1 has a large number of transportation tools. Although they are simple, they are very practical.
Most of them are made up of carts. It is no problem for a cart to pull more than a thousand kilograms of grain.
After Xie Baoqing's order was arranged, the employees of the Migrant Workers Group moved quickly. First, they were divided into three groups and rushed to Laohugou, Banan Village and Sanhe Village respectively. Then, according to Kong Jie's plan, in the evening of that day, the sky was still dark.
Before it got dark, he secretly set off towards Dafengzhuang with the grain in hand.
"What should it be filled with? It can't be filled with grain anyway. The weight has to be about the same as a bag of grain. Just stuff some soil in it and add some crumbs of corn sticks and it will be about the same."
"By the way, remember to keep a few carts and replace the bags on them with real grain!"
When loading food, according to Xie Baoqing's explanation, it was all migrant workers who knew the basics.
Workers are also very wise.
Although I am full of confusion, I don’t understand why these fake grains are transported to Dafengzhuang.
But there is only one sentence that is spread secretly: To deal with the little devils.
These workers, whose origins were innocent and absolutely trustworthy, tacitly followed Xie Baoqing's orders and swallowed the news that the food was fake.
Bag after bag of grain soon filled the cart.
The tires of the cart were even a little overwhelmed, and they moved forward with a squeaking sound.
Some of the migrant workers team looked at the grain being transported by the transportation team with their eyes flickering during the transportation.
Xie Baoqing's confidants placed in the transportation team secretly observed the expressions of the most suspicious workers following the transportation team.
"Old Seven!"
On the way, a man pushed his brother beside him.
The brother understood it immediately. When he was pushing the cart full of grain, he slipped and pulled a bag of grain off the cart, and smashed it against the sharp rocks exposed on the ground.
Up.
When he patted his buttocks, he stood up and pulled up the sack containing grain. He heard a stinging sound, and a long gash was cut into the sack.
The wheat grains rolled directly out from inside.
"Damn it, Lao Qi, what are you doing? If you don't close the hole quickly, all the food will leak out in a while!"
The man from before cursed, and the worker named Lao Qi quickly blocked the hole with quick eyes and hands, and then called a worker next to him to lift the sacks onto the cart again.
At this time, beside the gravel on the ground, wheat had fallen all over the ground.
The man looked regretful, strode over, grabbed a few handfuls of wheat piled on the dirt and gravel, put it into his pocket, and said cursingly:
"There are serious disasters everywhere right now, and many people are starving to death. Just these handfuls of wheat may be able to save a few lives."
"Comrades, please watch your steps and be careful, don't waste food any more!"
A voice of inquiry seemed to float in at random:
"Company commander, where are we sending this food?"
It is said that although the migrant workers' regiment is a working team composed of workers, its internal organization is modeled after the Eighth Route Army, from the regiment leader to the grassroots squad leader.
Therefore, the person calling will call the man in front of him company commander.
The company commander looked at the worker who spoke, concealed the slight coldness in his eyes, and replied:
"The food stored in Banan Village is enough. The command has ordered us to transfer the food in Banan Village to Dafengzhuang first, and then transfer it to the detachment base in one go..."
"Okay, why are you asking these questions?"
"Our leader said that this food transportation is a big secret."
"If the little devils knew about it, they might come and steal the food, so they kept their mouths shut and no one was allowed to leak out the food transportation."
"We are all looking at the grains honestly. The disaster situation is serious now. These grains are even more valuable than gold. We can't make any mistakes on the way of transportation."
"Yes, company commander!"
Almost at the same time, similar situations happened one after another on the transportation road from Laohugou to Dafengzhuang and from Sanhe Village to Dafengzhuang.
The workers with twinkling eyes stopped asking any more questions and lowered their heads slightly, not knowing what they were thinking about.
...It can be said that the intelligence transmission of the Japanese spies is not inefficient.
Xie Baoqing led a team of migrant workers to secretly transport grain from Laohugou, Banan Village, and Sanhe Village to Dafengzhuang that evening.
In the early morning of the next day, Yoshio Shinozuka, who was far away at the Taiyuan City headquarters, unexpectedly received the news.
When the combat staff analyzed the specific situation, the Japanese chief of staff Kitagawa Ayumi believed: "General, the Eighth Route Army secretly transported grain to Dafengzhuang. This move is confusing, but if you think about it carefully."
"It is estimated that the Eighth Route Army was afraid that the villages they were hoarding food in the periphery would be attacked by us, so they converted multiple pivot points into one."
"To reduce the risk of food loss."
"The grain secretly transported from Laohugou, Banan Village, and Sanhe Village to Dafengzhuang should be transported to the independent regiment soon."
"General, now it seems that our original judgment was indeed a mistake."
"I originally thought that Dafengzhuang, Sanhe Village, Banan Village, and Laohugou were all our options for attack. Now it seems that Dafengzhuang has become a once-in-a-lifetime target."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, and with a cautious personality, he asked one more question: "Can there be any new information from the Radio Investigation Department?"
"Hi! General, two days ago, we deciphered a communication signal sent from the independent regiment base area."
"What content?"
"There seems to be a shortage of food within the Eighth Route Army, and we are urging the food hoarded in the outer villages to be transported to the interior of the base area."
"So, the Eighth Route Army secretly transported food to Dafengzhuang just to solve the food shortage problem within the base area?"
"General Mingjian, this should be the case."
"Xinxi, it seems that our army's original plan of using one cavalry and one armored force to raid Dafengzhuang can go ahead!"
"General, I have some additional plans."
"Say!"
"General, according to the information conveyed by our army's intelligence personnel lurking inside the base of the Independent Regiment, a large number of cars, tanks and armored vehicles have appeared within the Independent Regiment recently. They even possess a considerable number of large-caliber artillery and various weapons.
."
"In addition, after nearly half a month of infiltration reconnaissance, so far, according to the information relayed by intelligence personnel, some factories, artillery positions, armored vehicle parking bases, and even Nakonjie are located in the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
The location of the detachment headquarters, our staff department has developed a corresponding map based on the intelligence."
"So..."
"General, I think our army can use a two-pronged approach in this battle."
"While sending a surprise attack force composed of cavalry and armored troops to raid Dafengzhuang on the Eighth Route, we also sent flying teams to bomb the targets exposed on the Eighth Route to cover the raid on Dafengzhuang."
"In this way, not only can we seize a large amount of food stored by the Eighth Route Army in Dafengzhuang, we can even blow up all the armored vehicles and various military facilities of the Eighth Route Army exposed in the Gendi area in one fell swoop."
Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a moment and smiled on his face.
During this period, they suffered multiple defeats at the hands of the independent regiment, and as the disaster became more serious, the Japanese army was temporarily unable to launch large-scale raids.
If we can severely damage the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army through sneak attacks by tank troops and bombing by flying squadrons, it will naturally be Yoshio Shinozuka's dream.
"Xinxi, let's formulate this battle plan according to this idea!"
"Inform the squadron to cooperate with this operation. Of course, be careful of the independent regiment's anti-aircraft firepower!"
Without hesitation, the Japanese commander issued the order.
