Originally, the chief had set the time for three days, but three days was not enough time to prepare, so it was extended by another two days.
The time was mainly wasted on the "fake train", which was a bit beyond Wang Xuexin's expectation... What he originally thought was the simplest and fastest thing turned out to be the most time-consuming to implement.
The main reason is that the fake train needs to be kept secret.
It can be said that the railway tracks were built for mining and can be built openly, but fake trains cannot be like this.
If a fake train is built on the railway track, not to mention that it will make Okamura Neji suspicious, the traitors will immediately report the fake train to the Japanese, and the Japanese will be fooled and target the fake train.
?
Therefore, the construction of the "fake train" became a problem. I wanted to hide it from the traitors overnight, but it was not that fast, so it got stuck.
After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin came up with a way: first make the "parts" of the fake train in the yard, and then put the "fake train" together like building blocks.
Due to the delay in transmitting information, and the fact that the "fake train" is outside the city and it is not easy for the traitors to get close to it, the Japanese will probably not have time to get the news... It would be best if the traitors don't know about the "fake train" yet, and the Japanese plane will fly over.
Blow up the "fake train" and then die without evidence.
As a result, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment immediately took action and blocked several yards dedicated to the production of "parts" for "fake trains".
It's not difficult to make, but the locomotive is a bit troublesome. The other carriages are just sealed with wooden boards, and a few black wheels are nailed on the bottom. It's easy to see the problem if you look closely, but it really looks like it when you look at it from a distance.
That's what happened.
However, the requirements do not need to be so high. After all, they are used to deceive Japanese pilots. The pilots are flying at high speed and observing from a distance, so how can they tell the real thing from the fake one?
Everything was ready, and the battle started before dark on the fifth day.
The first battle started was to attack Jiangyang Fu.
This plan was proposed by Shi Sha.
According to Wang Xuexin's idea, the train and Jiangyangfu were moving at the same time, that is, Jiangyangfu launched an attack, and the monk's reconnaissance company obtained a train at the same time, so that the time could overlap.
But Shi Sha proposed another plan.
Shi Sha handed a train timetable to Wang Xuexin and said: "Battalion Commander, we don't need to steal the train at all. We just need to advance the attack time by half an hour, and there will be a train loading in Jiangyangfu. This way
This can prevent our plan from being suspected by the Japanese because of the train, and secondly, it can also save us the risk of stealing the train and being discovered by the Japanese!"
When Wang Xuexin heard this, he thought he was not lazy, this guy has a lot of skills.
Things are indeed as Shi Sha said. Wang Xuexin has been worried about this problem before. This is also one of the difficult tasks of the reconnaissance company.
Stealing a train by a reconnaissance company seems simple. Just like the railway guerrillas, they just find an opportunity to climb onto the train and control its carriages one by one.
The question is, what if the people on the train report to the Japanese through radio in time? What if there is a shooting and a fierce conflict breaks out?
The Japs will immediately think: Why did the Eighth Route Army rob the train? And it wasn’t just for the goods but for the entire train... Could it be that they wanted to use the train to transport something?
At that time, combined with the occupation of the factory in Jiangyangfu, the next problem will not be difficult to analyze.
Tanishiki
However, if it was a train captured when the Eighth Route Army attacked Jiangyangfu, then this problem would not exist at all. The Japanese would take it for granted that the train just happened to stop at the train station and was captured by the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, this would be much easier.
!
Therefore, Wang Xuexin agreed to the plan without even thinking about it.
The only drawback was that the attack time was half an hour earlier and it was still dark, which was somewhat detrimental to the Eighth Route Army's attack.
But this is not a big problem.
In order to capture Jiangyang Fu as soon as possible, Wang Xuexin made a plan to have Ding Wei's new regiment and reconnaissance company sneak into the Japanese defense lines and lie in wait around Jiangyang Fu.
That's for sure.
Otherwise, Jiangyangfu is more than 100 kilometers away from Luliang Mountain and more than 70 kilometers away from the nearest base area of the Eighth Route Army. If we start from the base area and wait to reach Jiangyangfu, it will take a few weeks at least!
And considering that time is conservative, it is still unknown whether they can hit it... Although the Eighth Route Army at this time has the strength to defend the Japanese head-on, it is only on favorable terrain like Yuncheng, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The place is still unable to confront the Japanese.
If it could, the war of resistance would almost be over.
Because as long as the Eighth Route Army attacks in the direction of the Japanese, it will form a pincer attack situation with the stubborn army's frontal front.
Therefore, if the new regiment does not sneak into the Japanese defense area and "take shortcuts", then I am afraid that any plan will not be implemented at all.
Ding Wei is very experienced in this area. In fact, the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army are very experienced in sneaking into the enemy's defense zone. They have done this many times before.
It's just that Ding Wei's way of sneaking in this time was quite special. He had the main force dress up as puppet soldiers and escort a group of people to Jiangyang Fu in an open and honest manner.
Ding Wei knew that the management and verification between the two forces, the Japanese and the puppet troops, had always been in a state of chaos.
This is not to say that the Japanese are not cautious in doing things. The Japanese are actually cautious enough. Most of the puppet troops are equipped with Japanese commanders, and the command power is actually in the hands of the Japanese.
The problem is that the puppet army has expanded too fast in the past two years, and the Japanese are too busy... This is mainly due to the drought in Henan and the combat needs of the Japanese.
After the Japanese launched attacks in Yingjiang, Southeast Asia and other directions, a large number of troops in China were drained, resulting in a shortage of troops in all directions.
However, the drought in Henan has made it impossible for many Chinese people to make a living. Many people choose to work as coolies or as puppet soldiers in order to survive.
Once the two were combined, the puppet army expanded from more than 80,000 to more than 300,000 in a short period of time.
Of course, some of these are numbers boasted by Wang's puppet government to show to the outside world that many people support the so-called "Peaceful Nation-building Army" led by him.
But the Japanese were indeed somewhat incompetent in controlling and training the puppet troops.
What's more, Ding Wei used the accurate puppet army numbers detected by intelligence personnel. There were indeed puppet troops who often escorted ordinary people to the Jiangyangfu factory area to do hard work, so Ding Wei and his party deployed without any danger.
Near Jiangyangfu, there was even a team that was "herded" directly into the Japs' control area as internal agents.
As soon as the battle started, the new regiment came to cooperate inside and outside, and instantly overwhelmed the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Jiangyangfu.
Then Ding Wei asked the internal soldiers to call on the Chinese laborers to revolt... The Japanese were submerged in the wave of anger in just a moment, and no waves could be seen.
