Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh test the water
"Captain, now that the Japanese have started to move, when will we take action?" As soon as Li Wen left, Xiong Changhe and Xiao Yunshan came over and asked.
"Two days later!" Wang Ping decided.
"Why does it take so long? Commander, are you mistaken? The Japanese and puppet troops will send troops today and they will send troops tomorrow. If they wait for two days, they will definitely get into a fight with the battalion commander and the others. We were in action at that time
Isn’t it too late?”
"I just want to get Battalion Commander Zhong into trouble with the Japanese and puppet troops who entered the mountain!" Wang Ping said in shock.
After Wang Ping captured the puppet troops in the attack on Zhoutang Town and the prisoners who ambushed the Japanese reinforcements, and all were handed over to Zhong Chenggong, the new regiment was located in a secret stronghold in the mountains, and its total strength suddenly increased to more than 300 people.
As usual, when he was taking several political cadres to teach the prisoners and mobilize them to join the Eighth Route Army, Li Wen suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Battal Commander, there is an emergency, and the regiment commander asked me to come back to help!"
"Let's talk in the war room!" Zhong Chenggong frowned and took Li Wen directly into the tent where the war room was located.
"Battal Commander, in order to avoid further trouble, the Japanese directly dispatched two infantry brigades and a regiment of the Imperial Army to attack here!"
"All the troops will be deployed today. How to deal with us is not clear yet. However, the regiment commander judged that early tomorrow morning, these Japanese and puppet troops will enter the mountains!"
"The regiment leader was worried that there were Japanese special forces among the encirclement and suppression troops, so he asked me to come back!"
"In addition, the leader asked me to tell you: the enemy is strong and we are weak, and we have sufficient ammunition supplies. We must not fight head-on with the Japanese, nor can we be stuck by the Japanese."
Zhong Chenggong frowned and thought for almost a minute before replying: "I understand what the leader means!"
"We have too many prisoners in our hands. Once they are captured by the Japanese, these prisoners will have big problems!"
"Inform Captain Yang to come here immediately!"
"Batalion Commander, is there a battle going on?" Yang Huping asked excitedly as soon as he rushed into the tent.
Although he fought a battle a few days ago, it was a feint attack and did not kill a few puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers. For Yang Huping, such a battle was not satisfying at all.
"There is a battle to be fought, and it is still a tough battle!" Zhong Chenggong did not hide anything and answered directly.
"I, Yang Huping, like to fight tough battles the most. Battalion Commander, give me the order!" Yang Huping replied arrogantly, not realizing how powerful the opponent he was about to face was.
"Two thousand Japs, a thousand Imperial Army, this is your next opponent Yang Huping!" Zhong Chenggong answered directly.
Yang Huping was stunned for a moment and stared at Zhong Chenggong, unable to react for a long time.
"Batalion Commander, are you kidding me?"
"No kidding, this is the news that Comrade Li Wen just brought back. The puppet troops of more than 3,000 days are already on the road and will enter the mountains tomorrow morning at the latest. My idea is to let you lead the team to fight guerrillas with them.
Comrade Li Wen will also lead a team to cooperate with your actions, specifically to deal with the special forces in the middle of the Japanese raids!"
"As for me, in order to prevent the prisoners from causing trouble, the supplies that the regiment leader worked so hard to retrieve were destroyed, so I moved deep into the mountains first."
"Then try to get some more people to come and cooperate with you in your guerrilla fight!"
Yang Huping's face looked much better: "Fighting guerrillas is pretty much the same. I have two platoons in my hand. Although most of them are captured soldiers, after the last battle, they have become more and more confident in following us to fight the Eighth Route Army!"
"As long as you give me enough bullets and grenades, I have the confidence to lead them to fight guerrillas against the Japanese in the woods, hold them back, and make the Japanese lose their skin even if they don't die!"
Li Wen then added: "Battal Commander, I only brought back three people. If possible, I will add a few more captured soldiers, but I have to select them myself."
"No problem. Yesterday we mobilized more than 60 captive soldiers who are willing to join our new regiment. You can choose people directly from among them!"
At this point, Zhong Chenggong thought of something else, and then added: "More than a dozen of the wounded have recovered. I plan to use them as the backbone to form a company of recruits. With a dozen of them, no matter what you choose,
Anyone can take it away!”
In the afternoon of that day, Zhong Chenggong took the prisoners and supplies to the deep mountains, while Yang Huping and Li Wen led the team to the edge of the mountains. They planned to prepare a big surprise for the Japanese and puppet mopping up troops as soon as they entered the mountains.
Captain Aoki is very lucky, at least he thinks so.
His sweep area happened to be where the new group appeared twice in a row. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely have the greatest chance of encountering the remnants of the new group.
An infantry squadron, a heavy machine gun squad, a mortar squad, plus a company of puppet troops, a total of more than 350 people, this is the mopping up force he will command in the next ten days.
As soon as the troops finished breakfast, Captain Aoki assembled the troops and then stood in front of more than 300 people with a condescending attitude.
"Warriors, the remnants of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army are the last enemies of our imperial army in Linfen. We must find them and kill them this time." Captain Aoki said with an arrogant look.
Then in order to encourage everyone to help him get this military exploit in his own hands, Aoki added: "From now on, no matter whether the Imperial Army or the Imperial Association Army kills an Eighth Route Army soldier, I will personally reward you with a reward of five yuan, and then the official
Level up!"
The subordinates who had not made much movement just now finally showed a fanatical expression on their faces.
Aoki nodded with satisfaction and immediately ordered: "Let's go and start sweeping into the mountains!"
The same thing happened to almost every squadron leader. Everyone wanted to take this military achievement as their own.
As for the cooperation that Brigade Commander Major General Matsumoto reminded many times, they had long forgotten to follow it.
"Company Commander, the Japs have entered the mountains. We have more than 350 people here, a small team and a platoon of puppet troops, more than a hundred meters apart from each other, searching here like a net!" A squad leader who was investigating in front of the Third Company
, reported with a solemn look.
"Comrade Li Wen, what do you think?" Although Li Wen does not have any position in the New Regiment, several company commanders know that Li Wen is a hidden person based on his skills exposed in several operations after coming to the New Regiment.
A secretive guy. Therefore, when the Japanese asked him the first difficult question, Yang Huping directly asked the question to Li Wen.
"Try the waters first to see if the Japanese raiding force is really monolithic!" Li Wen immediately expressed his thoughts.
Yang Huping also quickly reacted: "If we are monolithic, we will slowly fight against the Japanese. If we are not monolithic, then there will definitely be fighter jets exposed. As long as we seize the fighter opportunities, we will definitely be able to give the Japanese invaders a disincentive."
"Not bad!" Li Wen affirmed.
"Captain Yang, you take people behind to ambush, and I'll take people to test the water to see if I can lure a group of Japanese soldiers out!"
