Li Changshui said: "Brother Dalong, do you mean to simply let these little devils go to the front line of Licheng to join their main force? When they get there, they will be afraid of hurting their own people and will definitely harm the harmful substances they carry.
Strict protection?"
Xu Dalong said: "That's what I mean. Just let the little devils go and let them escort the epidemic prevention and water supply troops to their larger troops."
Monk Wei said: "The Japs have two divisions and an independent mixed brigade on the front line. There are so many Japs. Once the epidemic prevention and water supply troops arrive, it is difficult for us to understand where they have gone. How can we deal with them?"
My opinion is that we should release the little devils out of the city and deal with them in the wild."
Xu Dalong said: "The problem now is that if the Japanese are released, there is no guarantee of destroying them in the wild. Not only that, there is at least one clever commander among the group of Japanese we are facing, and everyone can see his performance at this stage.
When it arrives, it is difficult to deal with.
We should think of the worst when something happens. If the commander of the Japanese army goes out of the city this time and captures a large number of people from the city and works with the epidemic prevention and water supply troops, we will not be able to do anything to them."
Li Changshui said worriedly: "I think this possibility is extremely high. Now the little devils are almost at their wits' end. In order to safely send the epidemic prevention and water supply troops to the front line, they have resorted to all despicable means."
Monk Wei scratched his head and said depressedly: "What should we do? Let these little devils pass and let them join the large army. They may release harmful substances at any time. Isn't this more troublesome?"
Xu Dalong said: "Let these little devils go over and let them join the main force. When the epidemic prevention and water supply troops arrive, they will strictly protect them and prevent toxic substances from leaking.
As long as we can find where they are and kill them, we don't have to worry about these toxic substances taking effect.
Now that we have blocked all roads into the base area, the little devils are not yet able to carry out biological and chemical weapons attacks, so there is no need to worry about this.
Not only that, since the Japanese’s anti-epidemic and water supply troops are among their large forces, their vigilance will definitely be relaxed, which is a favorable condition for defeating them.”
Li Changshui said: "What you said makes sense. But the problem is, once the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops enter the Japanese heavy army, how to find them and then destroy them?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "I received a telegram from Commander Li a few days ago, saying that the frontline troops had secretly dug a tunnel, and the entrance of the tunnel was in the Japanese camp."
Everyone felt their eyes light up. Monk Wei said with a smile: "I never thought that such a thing could happen. This is a chance."
After discussion, everyone agreed that what Xu Dalong said made sense. The most difficult thing about destroying the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply troops was not to allow them to release harmful substances. If the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply troops were among a heavy concentration of Japanese troops, they would never dare to release them.
Even if they are attacked, they would rather destroy those harmful substances themselves than dare to expose them. This is really the best place to eliminate them.
As for how to find the epidemic prevention and water supply troops, everyone believed that with Xu Dalong's ability, he could disguise himself as a Japanese army and enter the Japanese army's camp through the secret tunnel, so he would not have to worry about finding them.
Li Qiulin said: "Captain, I have another question. If the Japs capture many civilians to protect their epidemic prevention and water supply troops, will they still keep these civilians as hostages after arriving at the Japanese camp?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t we have no way to take action?”
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Probably not. First of all, the Japanese anti-epidemic and water supply troops have entered their heavy troop groups, so there is no need to leave these people behind to protect them.
Secondly, the Japanese troops on the front line now have difficulty even eating, so how can they afford to provide food to feed so many ordinary people?"
Everyone knows that due to the harassment of the cavalry brigade and the special operations brigade, the Japanese army's transportation lines have been cut off, and the little devils on the front line have been forced to rob the people's food. They are definitely not willing to spend so much food to feed the ordinary people.
People. So everyone said they had no objection.
Seeing that everyone had unified their opinions, Xu Dalong said: "That's how it will be done. But we still have to fight the two infantry brigades that the Japanese came to reinforce. Even if we can't eat them all, we can eliminate some of them and force them to
Meet up with the Japs in the county town.
Moreover, after the Japanese come out, they still have to harass them so that the Japanese army cannot detect our true intentions."
Everyone thought that Xu Dalong had a thoughtful idea. In the end, it was decided that Sun Desheng and Wei Monk would continue to lead the cavalry troops to harass the Japanese army. Xu Dalong, Li Changshui and others rushed back to the base area, ready to go through the tunnels to find the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply troops.
After the matter was decided, Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng and others took separate actions and set off separately.
Things developed just as Xu Dalong expected. The Japanese troops of the independent 11th Brigade were attacked and suffered hundreds of casualties. After entering Huairou County, they met up with Oshima Zhongxin and others. They joined forces and continued to the Lijiang River.
City and county seat.
In order to ensure that the epidemic prevention and water supply troops were foolproof, Oshima CITIC suggested arresting 100 ordinary people from the city and asking them to follow the epidemic prevention and water supply troops. This trick really worked. Although the Eighth Route Army's cavalry troops harassed the Japanese troops along the way, in order to
To avoid accidentally injuring civilians, they did not launch a large-scale attack. In the end, the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops were safely escorted to the front line of Licheng and met with the main force of the Japanese army.
As for the captured civilians, the Japanese army had no food to feed them, so they released them.
Xu Dalong and others were on the road day and night. They took a long detour and entered the Mawu Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area.
In the base area, they encountered countless inspections, including the Eighth Route Army troops, county brigades and militiamen, and even were interrogated by the Children's League. The entire base area was a dragnet, and it was almost impossible for Japanese and puppet personnel to sneak in. The Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply unit was so large,
It is completely impossible to enter the anti-Japanese base area quietly.
Xu Dalong was very satisfied with this and praised all the sentries who investigated them.
In the Mawushan Anti-Japanese Base Area, Xu Dalong was a legend, and he won the respect and admiration of the majority of anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.
The sentries were very excited when they saw Xu Dalong, and they were even more flattered when they were praised by him in person. They were all as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Although Li Changshui had been to the Mawu Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area many times, and although he knew how much the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians here respected Xu Dalong, he couldn't help but secretly feel surprised when he saw that people in these remote areas who had never met Xu Dalong respected Xu Dalong so much.
Gao Zhiyong had already received the telegram and was waiting for Xu Dalong and others in Yangcheng County.
He reported to Xu Dalong the preventive measures taken in the base area to ensure that the epidemic prevention and water supply troops could not penetrate deep into the base area.
Xu Dalong was also very satisfied with this and commended Gao Zhiyong and others for their work.
Gao Zhiyong and others arranged a reception banquet for Xu Dalong and the others, but Xu Dalong had no such intention now and went directly to the front line of Licheng.
The Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops were escorted by large troops and headed towards Licheng. Along the way, the cavalry troops led by Sun Desheng and Wei Monk kept attacking the Japanese troops. Their main task was not to eliminate these enemies, but to harass the Japanese troops.
Let them not dare to let the epidemic prevention and water supply troops escape the protection range of the Japanese army, and prevent them from escaping the sight of the Eighth Route Army again.
The Japanese army was in a very embarrassed state along the way. Under the harassment of the Eighth Route Army cavalry troops, they did not dare to fight. All their thoughts were spent on protecting the epidemic prevention and water supply troops, fighting against the Eighth Route Army troops that were harassing them as they walked.
After a long march and the loss of nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers, the epidemic prevention and water supply troops were finally escorted into the defense area of the Japanese 113th Division.
Sun Desheng and others followed the Japanese army all the way and saw the Japanese army entering the defense area of the main force. They confirmed that the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops had arrived at the front line of Licheng, and reported the situation to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong, Li Changshui and others rushed back to the Licheng front line. After meeting with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie and others, they got into the tunnel accompanied by Wang Sanqiang, Lin Husheng and others.
In order to allow the commandos to pass through the tunnel quickly, Wang Sanqiang and Lin Husheng have expanded the tunnel. The width of the tunnel has reached 1.3 meters and the height has reached 1.8 meters. The personnel can run forward inside. After the tunnel reaches the rear of the enemy,
, many hiding caves were dug near the cave entrance, which can accommodate a large number of people. As long as the cave entrance is opened, hundreds of people can be sent to the ground in a short time.
Xu Dalong was very satisfied with this and once again praised Wang Sanqiang, Lin Husheng and the officers and soldiers of the security regiment who participated in digging the tunnel.
After inspecting the tunnel, Xu Dalong and Li Changshui returned to the coalition headquarters and studied with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and others on the battle plan to destroy the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops.
Although it has now been determined that the Japanese anti-epidemic and water supply troops are in the Japanese defense zone opposite, the defense zone involves the Japanese 109th Division, the 113th Division and the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade, with a width of dozens of kilometers.
It includes two county towns and vast rural fields. It is also very difficult to find them accurately. This gives everyone a headache.
Everyone couldn't think of a way to solve the problem for a while, so Li Yunlong suggested that we first consider how to prevent the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops from launching an attack.
He said: "The little devils who sent the epidemic prevention and water supply troops to the front line are definitely not here to watch a show. They must be thinking of ways to attack us.
I thought about the possible methods that the Japs could use. One was to send a large force to launch an attack, break through our army's defensive positions, escort the epidemic prevention and water supply troops to the depth of our army's defensive positions, and carry out the attack.
There is another way, and that is to dig tunnels. Since we can dig the tunnel very deep and dig behind the little devils’ defensive positions, I am afraid that the little devils can do the same. If this is the case, we don’t know whether the little devils can do the same.
No matter where the devil comes from, we will be in trouble."
Zhao Gang said: "Old Li is right. I think we should analyze the possible actions and solutions of the Japanese army from these two aspects first."
Zhang Dabiao said: "I am absolutely sure that the little devils cannot attack the defensive positions of our Eighth Route Army, whether they are from the New First Brigade or the Independent Brigade.
What I'm worried about now is whether the Japs will concentrate their forces and make a breakthrough from the Jinsui Army's position?"
Li Yunlong said: "It is entirely possible. The Japanese will probably secretly mobilize their troops, concentrate the main force on the front of the Shanxi-Sui Army defense area, cover it with powerful firepower, and launch an attack with a heavy group. The brothers of the Shanxi-Sui Army are very capable
It may not be able to stop the Japanese attack."
Zhang Dabiao said: "This possibility is extremely high. I suggest that we ask Commander Kong to send his troops behind the Jinsui Army's defense area and be ready to reinforce the Jinsui Army's troops at any time."
Li Yunlong said: "I think it's okay. Lao Kong, why don't you go and take your troops to the back of the Jinsui Army to serve as a reserve force."
Although Kong Jie usually bickers with Li Yunlong, when it comes to serious matters, he is very serious.
He said: "Lao Li, don't worry, I will lead the team there right now to make sure that the little devils can't get in."
Everyone was very reassured about the combat effectiveness of Kong Jie and his troops. To prevent the Japanese army from attacking from the ground, this matter was settled.
Next, we began to discuss the issue of preventing the Japanese army from digging tunnels.
Wang Sanqiang and Lin Husheng are experts in this field, and they were called in to participate in the meeting.
Wang Sanqiang said: "I have considered this issue. With such a wide defensive position, the only way to prevent the Japs from digging tunnels is to dig deeper into the trench we dug at the front of the position to stop the Japs.
Our authentic way."
Everyone thinks this method is feasible.
Li Yunlong said: "Then use this method. Lin Husheng, you can lead your security group to continue digging trenches."
Zhang Dabiao suggested: "The amount of work for such a long trench is too large. I think the engineering battalions of the Independent Brigade and the New First Brigade should also be given to Lin Husheng's command."
Li Yunlong said: "Then it's settled. Wang Sanqiang and Lin Husheng, I leave this matter to you. We must not let the little devils secretly dig tunnels behind our defensive positions."
Wang Sanqiang and Lin Husheng stood up, stood at attention in front of Li Yunlong, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, chief, and promise to complete the task."
After Wang Sanqiang and Lin Husheng left, the discussion turned to how to deal with the Japanese defense water supply troops.
Xu Dalong said: "According to the reports of Monk Wei and Sun Desheng, the Japanese army has blocked the road from Taiyuan to Licheng, and it is very difficult to infiltrate from there. I plan to lead a small force to pass through the tunnel and enter
In the Japanese defense area, find the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops, and kill them directly if you find an opportunity."
