The squad of special forces members who remained at the city gate used machine gun fire to intercept the Japanese troops.
The car driven by Xu Dalong and others arrived at the east gate of the city at lightning speed. The three cars in front rushed past smoothly, but the cab of the fourth car was hit by a Japanese bullet. The driver died on the spot. The truck lost control and crashed.
On top of the gate.
Due to the high speed of the car and the huge inertia, the special operations team members in the car were knocked dizzy and almost fainted.
Monk Wei and others, who had already rushed out of the city gate, had to stop the car immediately to rescue the special forces members behind them.
Wang Zili led a group of special forces troops to the back of the truck where the accident occurred, and used firepower to block the pursuing Japanese and puppet troops.
Xu Dalong led other team members to provide emergency rescue to the team members on the truck, and at the same time, he covered the special forces team members on the city gate tower and hurried down.
Wang Zili and others used firepower to block the Japanese army. Seeing that the special forces members in the last truck had been rescued from the city, they also retreated while fighting, quickly got on the truck, and then drove away. Of course, Wang Zili did not forget
, before leaving, he threw two grenades into the cab of the truck he left behind, blowing up the truck and destroying the clues for the Japanese army's pursuit.
A large group of Japanese troops rushed to the east gate of the city. Looking at the vast night outside the city, they didn't know where to pursue them, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and return to the camp.
Fortunately, Yoshio Shinozuka and the chief of staff survived this attack, but the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties. A Japanese major general, six colonels, and more than 50 ordinary Japanese soldiers were killed. The incident occurred at the Japanese garrison.
In the compound of Shanxi's highest command organ, even the commander was attacked, which had a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese army.
Even the most heavily defended areas of the Japanese army were unable to block the Eighth Route Army's attack. The other Japanese and puppet troops were even more terrified all day long.
Yoshio Shinozuka was simply mad. He kept yelling, cursing, and spitting for half an hour. He scolded the officers who were responsible for guarding the First Army Headquarters and cursed them all.
They were rewarded with a big mouthful.
Yoshio Shinozuka felt a little exhausted, and then he calmed down.
After this attack, Yoshio Shinozuka was severely hit. When the Japanese officers and soldiers saw him again, they found that he seemed to have aged much overnight, and his hair and eyebrows had turned gray.
When the Japanese First Army occupied most of Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka felt high-spirited. As the war continued and deepened, he felt increasingly tired.
None of the Zhongyang Army, Shanxi-Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi were stationary, which involved a lot of his energy.
Especially the Xu Dalong who appeared later, Yoshio Shinozuka felt a deep sense of powerlessness no matter whether he was competing with him in a battle of wits or courage.
How to deal with this abominable Xu Dalong? He really feels like he is at his wits end right now. He can only hope for the actions taken by the section chief of Peking Super High School and others.
Monk Wei suffered a gunshot wound, but fortunately it did not hurt any vital parts. The bullets from the Type 38 rifle had extremely strong penetrating power and did not stay in his body. This guy has thick skin and a very strong body.
Xu Dalong and others brought penicillin, injected him, and bandaged him, but he was fine.
However, because Monk Wei was injured, he still needed rest and treatment. Xu Dalong and others stopped attacking the Japanese army and escorted Monk Wei back to the Mawu Mountain base.
The Japanese army's intelligence work was also very powerful. The troops under the Zhongtiao Mountain Command adopted a strategy of shrinking defense, which attracted the attention of the Japanese army.
They dispatched an intelligence department to investigate, and finally figured out the reason why the Zhongtiao Mountain Command had reduced its defenses. That was that they currently lacked logistical supplies and were temporarily unable to launch an attack on the Japanese army.
For the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi, this was an excellent opportunity to launch an attack on the anti-Japanese armed forces.
After Yoshio Shinozuka obtained this information, he immediately reported to the North China Front Army Headquarters and asked the North China Front Army to coordinate and contain the armed forces in other areas to cooperate with the First Army to launch an attack on the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanxi.
The main target of the battle plan formulated by Shinozuka Yoshio was the base area of the Eighth Route Army. He planned to use a small number of troops to contain the troops belonging to the Zhongtiao Mountain Command, conduct a feint attack on the Jinsui Army's defense area, and contain the main force of the Jinsui Army.
Concentrate the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanxi to attack the Eighth Route Army's base areas.
What Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to deal with most was the Mawushan base area. He decided to concentrate the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanxi and attack the Mawushan base area with all his strength, completely defeating Xu Dalong's troops.
In order to achieve this campaign goal, Yoshio Shinozuka also formulated a battle plan that was hidden from the sky.
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
The commander stood in front of the map, looking at the enemy and enemy situation map around the Taihang Mountains that the staff had just marked, and said to the chief of staff: "This autumn sweep launched by the Japanese army is really weird."
The chief of staff said: "This time the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on our Eighth Route Army anti-Japanese base areas in Hebei and Shanxi. Among them, the Japanese army in the direction of Shanxi gathered heavy troops to besiege our anti-Japanese base areas in Taihang Mountain.
In the deployment of Japanese troops, there was no Mawushan base targeting Xu Dalong and others. This is indeed a bit abnormal."
The commander said: "It is precisely because of this that I feel there is something strange about it. Send a telegram to Xu Dalong and ask him to come over."
Xu Dalong received the telegram from the chief of staff and set off immediately. He took a transport plane to the Taihang Mountain base area and reported to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Seeing Xu Dalong, the commander said directly: "Xu Dalong, do you think there is anything wrong with the Japanese army's deployment of troops this time?"
Xu Dalong said: "According to the distribution of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanxi, the Mawu Mountain base area is located between Zhongtiao Mountain, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Taihang Mountain base area. Under normal circumstances, the Japanese army should directly attack the Mawu Mountain base area to cut off the communication between the anti-Japanese armed forces in various places.
Moreover, the Mawushan Military Division has attacked the Japanese army many times recently, and even attacked their headquarters. The Japanese army must have first thought of retaliating against the Mawushan Military Division.
The Japanese army attacked the various units of the Shanxi-Sui Army under the Zhongtiao Mountain Headquarters and the Taihang Mountain base area respectively. It should be that they were attacking from the east and from the west. There is a high possibility that they were aiming to attack the Mawu Mountain base area.
However, this seemed to be a little too obvious, and I was a little unsure for a while.”
The commander said: "Yes, this matter is indeed a bit strange. If the Japanese army wants to adopt the tactic of attacking from the east and attacking from the west, it will not be so obvious. If I were Yoshio Shinozuka, I would at least send some troops to attack Mawu Mountain.
The base makes it difficult for my opponents to judge my true intentions."
The chief of staff said: "Since we can't judge the true intention of the Japanese army, we might as well wait a little longer. Whatever the real purpose of the Japanese army is, it will definitely be reflected in the deployment of troops."
The commander nodded and said: "That's it, why not observe and see what the Japanese army is going to do? Xu Dalong, you can stay here for the next few days. We will communicate at any time if there is any situation."
Xu Dalong left the commander's office and prepared to go to the guest house to rest.
Li Changshui was already waiting outside the door and said enthusiastically: "Brother Dalong, don't go to the guest house. Come to my place and let's have a good chat."
Xu Dalong actually didn't want to stay in a guest house. It would be lonely if he had no acquaintances there. Of course he was very happy to have Li Changshui, an old friend, as his companion.
Xu Dalong followed Li Changshui to his office first, preparing to return to his dormitory together after get off work.
As soon as they entered the office, Li Changshui was making tea for Xu Dalong, and the phone on the table rang.
Li Changshui answered the phone, and Zhang Wanhe's voice came from the phone.
He said: "Is it Minister Li? Is Brother Dalong with you?"
Li Changshui smiled, didn't say anything, and handed the phone to Xu Dalong directly.
Xu Dalong said: "Minister Zhang, you are very well-informed."
Zhang Wanhe said: "Brother Dalong, you are a distinguished guest. I will rush over immediately and treat you to a drink."
Xu Dalong knew Zhang Wanhe and guessed that this guy might have something to ask him for help.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, if you rush here in such a hurry, you probably want to do more than just treat me to a drink, right?"
Zhang Wanhe said: "Brother Dalong, conscience of heaven and earth, I just miss you as an old friend. This time I went specially to pick up the wind for you. Okay, I won't say it on the phone anymore, just wait for me, I will be there soon
arrive."
Zhang Wanhe really had no other purpose for coming here this time, just to accompany Xu Dalong. He paid for a banquet for Xu Dalong himself, stayed with him for a whole day, and invited him to be a guest at his place.
Xu Dalong is currently waiting for news. He has nothing to do, so he plans to go to the logistics department with Zhang Wanhe and stop by the arsenal to see if there is anything he needs help with.
Xu Dalong told Li Changshui that if the commander came to see them for anything, just call Zhang Wanhe and he would be right back. Then the two of them left the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Shortly after they left, a fast horse chased them. He was a communications staff officer from the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
He said: "Captain Xu, Commander, please go back."
Xu Dalong had no choice but to say goodbye to Zhang Wanhe and followed the communications staff back to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
When he met Xu Dalong, the chief of staff handed him a telegram.
The telegram was sent by Li Yunlong, saying that a large number of Japanese and puppet troops had appeared around the Mawushan base area, but there were only a small number of Japanese troops, and a large number were puppet troops. He was a little unclear as to what they were going to do.
The commander said: "A large number of Japanese troops appeared around the Taihang Mountain base area, but there were many puppet troops around the Mawu Mountain base area.
It seems that the main target of the Japanese attack should be the Taihang Mountain base area, but I don’t know why, but I always feel that something is not right.”
In Xu Dalong's mind, he still believed that the main target of the Japanese attack should be the Mawushan base area. Nowadays, the little devils in Shanxi hate the Mawushan base area the most. Xu Dalong and the others have dealt a huge blow to the Japanese army.
Surname, it is impossible not to come and take revenge.
Moreover, the location of the Mawu Mountain Base Area is very important. Taking the Mawu Mountain Base Area will cut off the communication between the Taihang Mountain Base Area and the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Zhongyang Army under the Zhongtiao Mountain Command. Shinozuka Yoshio is a very powerful Japanese military commander.
The officer should have chosen this way.
The chief of staff wanted to ask Xu Dalong's opinion, but saw that Xu Dalong was thinking there, so he did not interrupt him, but just looked at him quietly.
What on earth are the Japanese troops going to do? Various thoughts flashed through Xu Dalong's mind.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "Commander, you said that the Japanese army sent a large number of Huang Xiejun to the Mawushan Mountain Base. I am not bragging. With Mawushan's combat effectiveness, Huang Xiejun is no match at all. Isn't this sending people to die? I
I wonder if they are not really Huang Xiejun, but are ghosts pretending to be one?"
Hearing this, the commander's eyes also lit up.
He said: "If that's the case, then you're absolutely right. What you said is very likely."
The chief of staff also nodded in agreement and said: "If the Japanese pretend to be Huang Xiejun, and if we cannot accurately judge that the direction of the Japanese and puppet army's attack is not the Mawushan Army Division, and thus relax our vigilance, it will be dangerous."
The chief of staff's concerns are justified. According to the instructions from superiors, if it can be judged that the main target of the Japanese attack is the Taihang Mountain base area, the Taiyue Military Region will prepare to dispatch the main force from the Mawushan Military Division to the Taihang Mountain base area for reinforcements. Then the strength of the Mawushan Military Division
If it is empty, the Japanese army can take advantage of it, and the Mawushan base area will be in danger.
Xu Dalong said: "Commander, this is easy to find out. Leave this matter to me. I will send a telegram immediately and send someone to investigate."
The commander considered the matter very carefully and said: "Chief of Staff, regardless of what kind of conspiracy the little devils are playing, you send a telegram to Li Yunlong and others to ask them to strengthen their vigilance to prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese army."
Xu Dalong immediately sent a telegram to Yan Guiwu, asking him if there was any exchange of clothing between the Japanese army and his troops.
Yan Guiwu quickly responded to the telegram, saying that this situation did not occur in the Fourth Division of Huang Xiejun. As for whether this happened to the Japanese army and other divisions of Huang Xiejun, he would send people to investigate, and as soon as he had accurate information, he would send a telegram to Xu Dalong.
.
Xu Dalong couldn't just rely on Yan Guiwu. He also sent a telegram to Zheng Xirong, asking him to send people to monitor the movements of the puppet troops. The most important thing was to take a look at the puppet troops gathered around the Mawu Mountain base area. What methods did they use?
What kind of equipment is it?
The equipment of the Japanese army was obviously better than that of Huang Xuejun. If those Huang Xuejun were Japanese disguised as Japanese soldiers, their equipment would definitely be different from that of Huang Xiejun's troops.
That evening, Yan Guiwu first sent a telegram, saying that he had sent Wang Shuhuai to contact Huang Xiejun's 3rd Division, and that the 3rd Division had indeed exchanged military uniforms with the Japanese army.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Zheng Xirong also sent a telegram, saying that the intelligence team he sent had carefully observed the Huang Xiejun troops and that the weapons and equipment they used were exactly the same as those of the Japanese field troops.
The situation has become clear. The main target of the Japanese attack is the Mawushan base area. In order to strengthen the strength of the Mawushan base area, the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters decided to deploy some of the troops from Kong Jie's Fifth Army Division and asked Kong Jie to lead the main force of the New Second Brigade.
, went to the Mawushan base area, accepted the command of Xu Dalong and others, and participated in the anti-mopping operations in the Mawushan base area.
