Wang Ping took out a piece of information and handed it to Cheng Xiao and said: "This is the information sent back by the reconnaissance platoon!"
"After we suffered a loss at the hands of the Japs some time ago, the Japs in Laiyuan City became more and more arrogant. They kept going out of the city to carry out raids and increase their control outside the city!"
"Just a few days ago, they actually built a stronghold in Shangjie, five kilometers east of the city, and stationed a large number of Japanese and puppet troops. It is obvious that they intend to use these strongholds to gradually encroach on our scope of activities in Laiyuan, thus
We are trapped in this mountain below."
"Half an infantry brigade, one regiment of the Imperial Association Army, with a total strength of 1,500 people, the little devil is so generous, putting so many troops in one stronghold! Commander, you don't want to attack this stronghold, do you?
Even if we pull the whole regiment over, we may not be able to win it. Moreover, Shangjie is very close to the county seat. The Japs from Laiyuan City can bring reinforcements in more than half an hour. If we don't do anything right, we will be attacked from both sides!" Cheng
Xiao reminded with a worried look.
"If we really concentrate our forces to attack the Shangjie stronghold, we will definitely be attacked from both sides!" Wang Ping replied.
"So, it's a lie that I'm attacking a stronghold. As for what I'm attacking, I'll keep it a secret for now!"
One day later, there was a sudden rush of footsteps at the Japanese Army Headquarters in Laiyuan City, and then Information Director Kazuki Yamamoto broke into Ono's office.
"General, urgent information, the entire independent regiment has been dispatched, including infantry artillery!"
"Do you know their attack target?" Ono's face instantly became serious, and then he stared at the map and asked.
"The Shangjie stronghold, the entire independent regiment is rushing to the Shangjie stronghold!" Sanben quickly answered.
"Yo Xi, Yamamoto-kun, your intelligence department did a very good job this time!" Ono found the Shangjie just controlled by the Imperial Army at a glance on the map, and also found a perfect fighter plane to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in advance.
Yamamoto Kazuki was under more pressure than ever during this period. Now when he suddenly heard Ono praising himself, he relaxed instantly, and then assured loudly: "Thanks to General Xie for his compliments, the Intelligence Department will definitely keep a close eye on the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
New news will be reported as soon as possible!”
As soon as Yamamoto Kazuki left, the chief of staff said with excitement: "General, if the independent regiment really attacks the Shangjie stronghold, then we can prepare a big trap for them in Shangjie and eat them in one bite!"
"Did you also see it? That's what I thought!" Ono nodded and affirmed.
Although his face looked very calm, the chief of staff who had been with him for a long time could clearly feel Ono's inner excitement.
The heavy damage to the Eighth Route Army some time ago allowed Ono to vent some of his anger.
However, Ono's hatred and anger towards the independent group have not diminished much. After all, Ono has suffered too many losses at the hands of the independent group. Now that he finally has a chance to avenge his shame, no matter how rational he is, he will be very happy.
After staring at the map for another minute, he asked directly: "The independent regiment's urgent march from the station to the streets will take eight hours, which is enough for us to prepare a big gift for them on the streets!"
"Chief of Staff! How many more troops are there in our city?"
"There are still more than 4,000 people in the Imperial Army, and there are still more than 1,000 people in the Imperial Association Army. However, the only two infantry brigades of the Imperial Army that have actually completed training have less than 2,000 people, and the rest are still training!" the chief of staff replied quickly.
Ono was very satisfied and said: "Two infantry brigades are enough to deal with the independent regiment! Chief of Staff, take out an infantry brigade, put on the uniform of the Imperial Association Army, go out from the four city gates in squadron units, touch the Shangjie stronghold, and put on the
Replace the Imperial Alliance Army at Street Stronghold!"
"I want to replace all the more than 1,500 people in the stronghold on the streets with the imperial army. By defending the stronghold, a large number of independent regiment troops will be consumed!"
"The golden cicada escapes from its shell! General, your method is good. The independent regiments who attacked the streets will definitely be shocked and die without knowing how they died!" The chief of staff, who looked suddenly enlightened, complimented excitedly, and he believed that this method had no flaws in his heart.
, foolproof.
Ono nodded and affirmed: "As long as the confidentiality is kept well, we can definitely give the independent group a huge surprise!"
"Replacing all the defenders of the Shangjie stronghold with the imperial army will not completely annihilate the Independent Regiment. If we want to completely annihilate them, we also need to build a huge encirclement around the stronghold to block all the retreat roads of the Independent Regiment. Therefore,
Another infantry group must also be ready to attack."
"As soon as the independent regiment reaches the Shangjie stronghold and starts attacking, the infantry brigade will immediately go out of the city for reinforcements, and use the squadron as a unit to occupy these four positions respectively!" Ono drew four circles around the Shangjie stronghold with a pen.
The chief of staff immediately reacted: "If the Independent Regiment wants to retreat, no matter which road it takes, it must pass through one of the points. By occupying these four points, the Eighth Route Army attacking the Shangjie stronghold will definitely be unable to escape. We can annihilate the Independent Regiment completely.
There won’t be any accidents, your Excellency General is wise!”
Ono continued to order: "The defense of the county cannot be relaxed. Although it is impossible for the main force of the Independent Regiment to attack the county, the Eighth Route Army's armed forces behind enemy lines will definitely not miss this opportunity to destroy the county. Therefore, although the main force of the Imperial Army has been transferred out of Laiyuan
City, Laiyuan City still cannot let down its guard!"
"In this way, let the Imperial Association Army guard the city gate, and the two infantry brigades that are training will patrol the county in small groups. Anyone who takes the opportunity to cause trouble in the county, regardless of their identity, will be eliminated!"
The chief of staff continued to compliment: "The general is wise. The Imperial Army is all locals, and there are even many who are not of the same mind as the Imperial Army. If we let them patrol the county, even if they encounter attackers, they will not attack in many cases.
Dead hands, these people are huge hidden dangers to Laiyuan City. If you have the chance, it is best to eliminate them all at once to avoid future troubles. But the imperial army is different. They have nothing to do with the Chinese people, as long as the other party comes to cause trouble
Yes, if the headquarters gives orders, they dare to kill!"
"Also, the main force of the independent regiment has gone to attack the back streets. There will definitely be no one who dares to attack the county town. Let the Imperial Alliance Army defend the city gate. This is not only to ensure that accidents occur on the city wall, but also to mobilize them to facilitate the imperial army to clear out all the people in the city.
Fight snobbery!”
On the way to the streets of the independent group, Wang Ping still did not tell everyone the real goal of the attack.
Although Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan repeatedly asked questions, Wang Ping had a mysterious expression from beginning to end and did not speak.
Nearly two hours after leaving the station, the mysterious expression on Wang Ping's face was finally replaced by seriousness.
"Political Commissar, we can close the net. Except for the spies from the third battalion, all the other spies were captured secretly. As for the other prisoners in the group, we will continue to send special personnel to monitor them. The next actions must be kept absolutely confidential!"
After a series of orders were issued by Cheng Xiao, Wang Ping continued to order: "Chief of Staff, you command the third battalion, the artillery battery and an infantry artillery platoon. Continue to the Shangjie stronghold. When you arrive, launch an attack. You must defeat a regiment."
Momentum. I will also bring two new battalions later. The first and second battalions will be companies as units and gradually replaced by new recruits. I want the spies from the third battalion to continue to send intelligence to Laiyuan City, so that the Japanese will continue to think that we are attacking.
The real goal is to take to the streets to establish a stronghold!”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Chief of Staff Zeng Quan, although he still didn't understand Wang Ping's true purpose, was still very satisfied with being able to lead the troops independently, and then promised loudly!
