After receiving the report, Major General Tomidi realized the importance of the matter. Based on his understanding of the China Army, only headquarters at the division or brigade level would be equipped with radio stations.
The detection of radio communication signals in the northern area of Yunting Town means that there may be a China Army headquarters that they broke up.
Their offensive was overwhelming and fierce along the way. Countless Chinese troops were defeated by them. There was a high possibility that a dispersed Chinese army headquarters was hiding nearby.
After all, they are making rapid progress. The troops only control railways, roads and towns. The vast rural areas are not currently under control due to insufficient troops.
Thinking of this, Major General Tamami couldn't help but feel excited. If he really eliminated this hidden headquarters of the China Army, it would add a lot of color to his resume.
It was really hard to find anything after wearing iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there. A cruel sneer appeared on the corner of Major General Tamidi's mouth. Since they bumped into his hands, he had no reason to let them go.
"Order the brigade directly under the brigade to set out immediately to find this hidden Chinese army and eliminate them!" Major General Tommidi ordered viciously.
"Hai!" The Japanese captain bowed his head heavily, turned around and strode off to deliver the order.
Lao Yanqiang and the others didn't know that a radio communication with the Jiang Defense Command was actually intercepted by an agent from the Japanese Special High School Division stationed at the Japanese Brigade Headquarters.
Although they immediately cut off the signal and prepared to evacuate after receiving instructions from the headquarters, a large number of Japanese soldiers had already rushed towards them.
Major General Tomidi mistook Lao Yanqiang and the others for a broken up division and brigade level headquarters, so he took them seriously and sent a full brigade directly under them to pursue them.
Lao Yanqiang and the others were defeated and were heading north along the planned retreat route in despair, preparing to withdraw to Jiangyin County.
Lao Yanqiang had a 79 rifle hanging on his shoulder. As he walked, the butt of the gun hit his belt, making a clanging sound. Suddenly, his ears vaguely heard a special sound coming from him.
"Stop!" Lao Yanqiang stopped and listened.
The fat man Tian San was walking with his head buried in his chest. He was so frightened when Old Smoker yelled like this. He hurriedly grabbed the 79 rifle in his hand and rolled into the grass nearby, thinking that he had encountered Japanese soldiers.
"What's wrong? Are there any Japs?" Seeing Lao Smoking standing still, the fat man stuck his head out from the grass and asked.
Seeing the fat man's miserable appearance with a head full of weeds, some soldiers couldn't help but want to laugh, but considering that he was the platoon leader, they couldn't hold it back until their faces turned red.
The old smoker's face was solemn. He ignored the fat man's question, looked around, grabbed his gun and ran towards a small hill on the left.
Seeing the nervous appearance of the old smoker, the fat monk, who was two feet tall, was confused. He asked the soldiers who were stunned on the spot: "What happened?"
The soldiers shrugged their shoulders and raised their heads, saying that they didn't know why the old smoker suddenly stopped and suddenly ran up the hill again, because they heard nothing and saw nothing.
Lao Yanqiang trotted up to a hill covered with weeds on the side of the road. He stood on a rock and looked south. On the horizon, he spotted a dazzling light. It was the Japanese who were rapidly heading north.
convoy.
A Japanese convoy? Lao Yanqiang looked at the Japanese convoy coming in the distance with a gloomy expression. Why is the Japanese convoy still moving in the middle of the night? Is it transporting ammunition to the front line?
Lao Yanqiang lowered his head in thought, but did not realize that this was a Japanese troop transport vehicle, coming to pursue them.
The fat man also climbed up the hill panting, because he also heard the faint roar of the car engine.
"My dear, there are so many Japanese cars." Looking at the shining car lights in the darkness, the fat man became excited like a child seeing a toy.
After all, in this era, there were very few cars in China. Being able to see so many cars at once immediately aroused the fat man's curiosity.
The fat man turned around and asked Lao Yanqiang: "Company commander, what do you think the Japanese are doing here? Are they eating cans or ammunition?"
Lao Yanqiang guessed: "They are still being transported north in the middle of the night. I estimate that 80% of them are to replenish the ammunition for the front line."
"With so much ammunition, my mother, my brothers in the camp will have to suffer a lot." The fat man swallowed his saliva, thinking that these ammunitions were smashing down on his head and face, and the position was plunged into a sea of fire. The fat man became uneasy.
Lao Yanqiang is also thinking now, if it is really the ammunition transported by the Japs, if they destroy it quietly and the Japs have no ammunition, and the guns in their hands become fire sticks, will it reduce the pressure on the front line?
Lao Yanqiang and the others failed to raid the Japanese artillery positions, and were filled with unwillingness. Although the headquarters asked them to evacuate, they still felt useless.
Now the idea of destroying the Japanese ammunition suddenly popped up in my mind, and it immediately occupied my entire mind, and I couldn't get rid of it.
If the enemy's ammunition is really destroyed, then this trip will not be considered empty-handed. Instead of retreating in despair with heavy losses, maybe he will be rewarded by Commander Liu for destroying the enemy's ammunition.
Well, he couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this.
"Company Commander, let's stop looking and evacuate." The fat man looked at Lao Yanqiang standing there and grinned. He didn't understand why and reminded him to evacuate. After all, they are still in danger now.
"Fat man, do you think if we blow up the Japanese soldiers' munitions, will Commander Liu praise us?"
Fatty Tian San blurted out: "That's for sure... Hey, company commander, you don't want to attract the Japanese's attention to this car, do you?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Lao Yanqiang's mouth: "Since it has bumped into our arms, there is no reason to let it go."
"I said, company commander, don't get too excited. There are more than 20 Japanese vehicles. We don't know what they are pulling. This hit will expose us. If it is not ammunition, we will be in trouble."
."
Lao Yanqiang was determined at this moment. The fat man's persuasion was of no use. He stared at the Japanese car driving in the distance and said: "No matter what he pulled, if we beat him, at least it would be better than us going back in despair now."
The fat man wanted to continue to dissuade him, not wanting to take the risk, but Lao Smoking had already begun to call the remaining brothers to come around and assign tasks.
Seeing that Lao Yanqiang had made up his mind, the fat man no longer stopped him. He also held a trace of luck in his heart. If what happened was the Japanese munitions exploded, it would be a great achievement and he would not come back empty-handed this time.
"Wang Xiaosan, you bring two brothers and use grenades to blow up the first Japs car. Liu Zi, you go and blow up the last car. As long as both ends are blocked, the other Japs cars will not be able to move. Let us
tidy."
The fat man asked: "Then what are we doing?"
"Two of the other brothers are fighting against one car, let's fight quickly!"
