Four hundred and forty-seventh to the plan can not keep up with the changes
Finally, the battle was over, and the lost troops and equipment of the 4th Mixed Brigade were immediately replaced. However, Major General Yoshino's pent-up anger did not subside, and became more and more intense, and he urgently needed to vent.
Because the Battle of Yangquan was regarded by him as the biggest humiliation since he joined the army. If this shame is not washed away, the anger that is held in his stomach will not dissipate.
Finally, the opportunity came.
The Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade was selected as the unit to directly attack the Eighth Route Army Arsenal.
Although the Eighth Route Army protecting the arsenal was not the first detachment to attack him in Yangquan, he was the culprit in the entire Taiyuan battle at that time, and was the first unit to rush into Taiyuan City and rob the Taiyuan arsenal.
If this Eighth Route Army unit can be eliminated and the things that the Eighth Route Army snatched from the Taiyuan Arsenal can be regained, the anger that I have been holding back will definitely dissipate a lot, and I will become a hero of the North China Front Army.
With this idea in mind, Major General Yoshino led more than 10,000 people, passed through the border, and finally reached a position less than 30 kilometers away from the arsenal.
At this time, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the troops can march to the arsenal at night and reach the arsenal.
However, Major General Yoshino knew that the next thirty kilometers would be impossible without an accident.
The arsenal is a treasure for any army, and the Eighth Route Army is no exception. They will definitely deploy heavy troops to protect the arsenal and block their own offensive.
However, Major General Yoshino was not worried at all.
He still has more than 14,000 people in his hands, and the imperial army accounts for more than half. What's more important is that he not only has a mountain artillery brigade, but also a more powerful field artillery brigade.
To compete, at least the Chinese battlefield has not yet encountered an opponent's chariot brigade.
With such powerful artillery fire, coupled with the powerful assault capability of the tank brigade, Major General Yoshino was confident that no matter how many troops the Eighth Route Army blocked in front of him, he would be vulnerable!
Major General Yoshino was sitting in an armored command vehicle. Because the road conditions were so bad, the rickety carriage was about to rock him to sleep when the armored command vehicle suddenly stopped.
"General, the mountain road ahead is getting more and more rugged, and the terrain on both sides of the mountain road is dangerous, which is very suitable for an ambush. Do you think you should order the troops to slow down their marching speed, and send out reconnaissance troops to ensure that the front is safe before setting off." Chief of Staff Zuan.
Entering the armored vehicle and reporting.
Major General Yoshino did not speak, but climbed onto the turret of the armored vehicle and held up a telescope for observation.
"Yo Xi, the terrain is indeed very dangerous!"
"Tubalu is too cunning, he doesn't rule out the possibility of ambushing us!"
"Chief of Staff, just do what you want. Anyway, we have plenty of time to attack the Eighth Route Army Arsenal and destroy it. There is no need to take risks just for a little time!" the cautious Ono ordered decisively.
When the chief of staff was about to give the order, Major General Yoshino suddenly thought of the trump card in his hand, the chariot brigade.
"Wait a minute, the chariot brigade is the main force in our attack on the Eighth Route Army's arsenal, and Tubal Army must also know it! They will definitely find ways to kill our chariot brigade!"
"Although I don't know what Tubalu can do? But Tubalu is so cunning, we have to guard against it!"
"Order, the chariot brigade marches dispersedly, the light chariot squadron follows the forward force, and sends a chariot squad to cooperate with the forward force to explore the road. Tubal Road likes to use landmines to deal with us. There are many mines that cannot be detected by mine detectors.
Just let the tanks go to the front and detonate the mines. Anyway, the homemade mines in Tubalu's hands cannot threaten our tanks!"
"The armored vehicle squadron follows the main force! The medium tank squadron follows the rear baggage force and protects the baggage!"
"The cavalry brigade, with squadrons as units, patrols and guards around the troops to ensure that there are no main Tubal troops around us!"
The chief of staff immediately reacted: "Your Excellency, the General, is a wise man, and for his humble position, go and give the order immediately."
Ono didn't know that because of his caution, he avoided the fate of the chariot brigade being taken over by Wang Ping.
The marching column of the Japanese and puppet troops stretched for more than six kilometers and stopped for a full half an hour before setting off.
At this moment, a man from the reconnaissance platoon of the security regiment who was watching them walked out of the woods and ran towards the ambush position that Wang Ping had prepared for the Japanese.
"Captain, there's a situation!" the panting leader of the first squadron of the reconnaissance platoon reported as soon as he saw Wang Ping.
"The Japanese marching force has deformed, and the chariot brigade has been divided into three! A large number of reconnaissance troops and cavalry troops have also been deployed to search the highlands on both sides of the mountain road. The main force will continue to advance only after confirming that it is safe!"
"Because of the slow speed, it will take at least three hours for the Japanese and puppet troops to arrive here in two hours!"
"We are separated, please be specific!" Wang Ping was stunned and immediately asked.
The investigation squad leader immediately told what the platoon leader told him and what he saw in as much detail as possible!
After it was over, you could clearly see the disappointed expression flashing across Wang Ping's face.
After a full minute, Wang Ping, who was deep in thought, sighed: "Originally, I planned to destroy the Japanese Chariot Group in one fell swoop, but now it seems that we can only kill the medium tank squadron that poses the greatest threat to us, leaving the remaining two squadrons.
We can only slowly think of a solution!"
Then he stared at the reconnaissance squad leader and continued to ask: "You just said that the Japanese and puppet troops also sent a large number of scouts and cavalry to search the highlands on both sides of the mountain road!"
"Yes, the Japs searched very carefully, and even if the reconnaissance troops in front have finished searching, the cavalry behind will continue to patrol and guard!"
Wang Ping frowned and couldn't help cursing: "Then my plan to ambush them and give them a blow will not work. Damn it, I didn't expect the Japanese to be so cautious. There are more than 10,000 people with cannons and weapons."
A tank is still shrinking its head and tail!"
After finishing, he ordered: "Notify the ambush troops to retreat immediately!"
As soon as he said these words, Wang Ping's eyes shot out two rays of light, his eyes lit up and he added.
"Tell the two battalion commanders not to erase the traces of the ambush when retreating. I want the Japanese to know that before they came, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops were hidden here and prepared to ambush them. But they were afraid of their caution and had to retreat!"
Yi Jun, who had been promoted to the commander of the second battalion, immediately reacted: "Captain, you want to paralyze the little devil!"
"Yes, if I don't paralyze them and make them relax their vigilance, how can I bomb their medium tank squadron!"
When the troops retreated, Wang Ping was not idle and ordered the engineering battalion to continue to pull the wire of the detonator back.
Otherwise, even if the engineers hiding under the Japs' noses escaped the Japs' detection and successfully blew up the Japs' tanks, they would not be able to withdraw safely in the face of the Japs' crazy revenge.
After all the troops were withdrawn, Wang Ping personally stayed with a guard platoon and engineer battalion commander Zhang Ding, despite the objections of his two battalion commanders.
At this time, the vanguard of the more than 10,000 puppet troops had entered Wang Ping's field of vision.
Three roaring light tanks led the way, followed by a squadron of Japanese soldiers with rifles in their hands and machine guns in their arms. From time to time they fired a string of bullets into the high hills on both sides of the mountain road to conduct fire reconnaissance.
More than two hundred meters behind, a brigade of Japanese soldiers and a regiment of Imperial Army soldiers were walking in the middle or on both sides of seven light tanks, driving towards them in a mighty manner.
Wang Ping even saw many Japanese soldiers sitting directly on the tank turret and hitching a ride.
