Colonel Kato, the supreme commander of the Japanese and puppet troops in Aoya Valley.
After two busy days, the Japanese military garrison in Qinggu Valley finally looked like a transit station.
There is a huge open space in the middle of the station, where more than a hundred large vehicles can be parked.
On the night of the third day, Colonel Kato welcomed the first batch of supplies that stopped at the Green Valley transfer station. There were a hundred carts in total, half of which were loaded with weapons and ammunition.
"The troops will step up their vigilance tonight. The Imperial Army will send twice as many troops for patrolling and vigilance. The Imperial Army will also step up their vigilance!" Looking at the densely packed large vehicles at the station, Kato didn't want problems to arise as soon as the transfer station was established. He looked serious.
commanded.
"Hi!" "Yes, Your Excellency Colonel!"
The Japanese Major and the Imperial Army Commander who stood in front of Kato all responded respectfully.
Kato nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to order: "The 1st Cavalry Squadron, the 1st Battalion Mortar Squadron, the 1st Mountain Artillery Squadron, work hard tonight, no rest allowed, always on standby!"
"The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is equipped with a large number of artillery. They like to use artillery to carry out long-distance sneak attacks. We have no aircraft support at night. Once we are attacked by enemy artillery fire from a long distance, the artillery unit must immediately counterattack to kill the Eighth Route Army that sneaks up on us!"
"Cavalry squadron, you are fast and ready to attack at any time to surprise and attack our Eighth Route Army!"
"Hi!" Although several Japanese artillery and cavalry commanders looked reluctant, they did not dare to show the slightest hesitation in front of their superiors and responded immediately.
At the Qinggu Valley Japanese Army Transfer Station, thousands of Japanese puppet troops were like a huge war machine that quickly started to operate.
In a village a few kilometers away, hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops also surrounded the village tightly.
The side room of the ancestral hall located in the middle of the village was particularly lively with more than a dozen Eighth Route Army soldiers coming in and out.
Wang Ping, the leader of the independent group, was standing in front of a huge map in a side room. He stared at the map for almost half an hour without moving, and he didn't even eat dinner.
Cheng Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him: "Captain, it's already dark. Let's eat first and then look at the map. In addition, the army has just sent several pieces of information about the Qingshan Valley transfer station. I think it is very useful. Please take a look at it too."
!”
Although they only eat dry food when they go out to fight, the food of the independent regiment is still good because of its strong foundation.
A bowl of steamed buns with a small amount of whole grains, a bowl of pancakes, pickled vegetables, a large bowl of still steaming chicken soup, and half a boiled egg!
"All the soldiers have eaten!" Wang Ping asked subconsciously.
After getting a positive answer, he directly greeted Cheng Xiao and started eating.
The two of them finished their meal in less than five minutes, and then Wang Ping used an oil lamp to start reading the intelligence that the troops had just sent.
"We'll start taking action tonight!" Wang Ping suddenly said!
"The Japanese have strengthened their patrols and security forces. They must have thought that we would attack them tonight. In this case, we will tell them through actions that his arrangements will have no effect in front of us. Unless they surround the transfer station
Control them all, otherwise we have plenty of ways to sneak attack them!"
For several days, Wang Ping has not said what method he will use to defeat the more than 5,000 puppet troops.
Although Cheng Xiao agreed to send troops, he was still nervous because he was deeply afraid that if the operation failed, the independent regiment would be held back by the Japanese and puppet troops in Qinggu Valley, and then lose their troops.
Now hearing what Wang Ping said, Cheng Xiao immediately reacted.
"I understand, commander, you are forcing the Japanese and puppet troops to divide their forces."
"If you want to control the Qinggu Valley area and prevent us from sneak attacks on their transfer station, there is only one way. Control all the areas five kilometers around the transfer station and prevent our troops from entering. And the Japanese and puppet troops want to achieve this goal. The way is
First, divide the troops to occupy all the surrounding villages, use these villages as strongholds, and then send troops to patrol. Whenever our troops enter this area, they will immediately discover it and surround us from all directions!"
Wang Ping said with admiration: "The political commissar is indeed an old revolutionary who has been the leader of the regiment. He can get it done with just one click!"
"The more the little devils intensify their vigilance, the more I will launch a sneak attack on them tonight. I just want to let the devils know that unless they divide their forces to control the entire area, they will definitely not be able to avoid our sneak attack!"
"Do it!" Cheng Xiao decided firmly.
"This is the only way we can deal with these Japanese and puppet troops, we must seize them!"
"As for how we will deal with the Japanese and puppet troops after they are divided, what our Eighth Route Army is best at is fighting guerrillas, defeating them one by one, and mobile warfare... We will have ways to deal with them when the time comes!"
"Thank you, political commissar, for your support!" Wang Ping said gratefully, and then began to issue orders.
"The mortar company directly under the regiment, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion are directly under the mortar platoon, plus the guard company directly under the regiment headquarters. The chief of staff will provide unified command. After a two-hour rest, we will set off on time at ten o'clock in the evening.
The chief of staff has the final say on how the attack will be carried out!"
Cheng Xiao, who rarely gets involved in the military, suddenly interrupted: "Commander, I think the chief of staff should be given an infantry company and a heavy machine gun company!"
"Since the Japanese troops in Qinggu Valley are prepared, they must have ways to deal with sneak attacks by artillery fire. After all, they have used mortars to sneak attack the Japanese more than once!"
"I'm worried that the Japs will take the initiative. After all, they have a lot of troops. And there are no woods around. Apart from the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, our other advantages are on the Japs' side!"
Wang Ping glanced at political commissar Cheng Xiao again.
"Political Commissar, you are giving the Chief of Staff an opportunity to fight independently and train the Chief of Staff. I agree that the heavy machine gun companies directly under the regiment, the first and second battalions, will all be given to the Chief of Staff. The First Battalion Commander Zhang Qing will also go and give the Chief of Staff
Be your deputy for a long time!”
"You, the regiment leader, have seen this all!" Political Commissar Cheng Xiao readily admitted.
"The chief of staff has no problems in other aspects. The only problem is his ability to independently command combat operations."
"Such a good opportunity should be given to the Chief of Staff if you can fight for it. Otherwise, the Chief of Staff's future development will only reach this position!"
"I agree. Zhang Qing's commanding ability is no longer what it used to be. With Zhang Qing watching from behind, there will definitely be no problem with the sneak attack tonight."
Soon, the political commissar found Zeng Quan and personally issued the order. He also talked to Zeng Quan for ten minutes.
At ten o'clock in the evening, most of the Japanese and puppet troops took a rest.
However, because a large amount of supplies and ammunition were stored at the transfer station, the transfer station was originally only patrolled and guarded by the puppet troops for 700 to 800 days. Tonight, the puppet troops did not rest for 2,000 days.
The Japanese commander of the transit station, Colonel Kato, also began to rest at this time.
"Woooooooo..." At this moment, the scream of artillery shells streaking across the sky suddenly sounded over the transfer station.
Kato Colonel, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened and sat up from the bed!
