Chapter 1057 The storm is surging, each has a plan
Hong Linfeng thought for a moment and replied: "The heavy artillery battalion is hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield, and it can only travel day and night. It will take at least three days to move to the battlefield."
"Then we will launch the attack in three days." Li Hao decided.
Wang Hong suddenly interrupted: "Captain, three days is too long."
"The Japanese army arrested too many people. There were more than 20,000 people in Guanshan Town. Three days was enough for them to repair all the blockade ditches and blockade walls along the highway."
"Then let's go two ways together!" Li Hao replied.
"While waiting for the artillery to be in place, organize troops to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in Guanshan Town. At the same time, organize the little devils to build blockade trenches and blockade walls."
"After dark, the little devils will definitely gather the people at a few points for easier management."
"The blockade stretches for dozens of kilometers and is absolutely full of loopholes."
"Political Commissar, you organize nearby local troops, guerrillas, and ordinary people to take advantage of the night to backfill the blockade trenches dug by the Japanese and puppet troops during the day."
"The Japanese and puppet troops dig during the day, and we backfill at night to see who can outlast the other."
"Chief of Staff, you are responsible for organizing the troops to prepare for the attack."
"The mobile battalion protects the heavy artillery battalion as it moves to the battlefield to participate in the battle."
"Start preparations now and take action after dark."
In the last counter-mopping operation, the reason why the heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment was able to catch the Japanese off guard was because all the Japanese thought that the garrison regiment had no artillery shells and those heavy artillery no longer posed a threat to them, so no one paid attention to the heavy artillery battalion and gave them secrets.
Opportunities lurking in place.
This time it's different.
Before the troops set off, the military headquarters repeatedly reminded them to pay attention to the heavy artillery troops of the garrison.
No matter the reconnaissance force, the special agents, or the intelligence personnel of the Special High School, they are all searching for this heavy artillery unit that can change a battle.
Highways are their key search targets.
The heavy artillery is too heavy. No matter where they go, they can't leave the road. As long as they move, it means being exposed.
The head of the intelligence section of the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan rushed in with excitement on his face.
"Sir, we have found the heavy artillery unit of the garrison, right here, moving along the highway towards Guanshan Town."
"Great!" The military commander also smiled and exclaimed excitedly.
"The reason why the imperial army's attack on the garrison failed last time was that this heavy artillery unit was crucial."
"That's why I ordered everyone to find it at all costs and kill it without affecting our next attack."
As if he had received the order, the head of the intelligence section immediately replied: "I will go and give the order right now to organize all the intelligence personnel and action teams lurking in the garrison base to move here and kill this heavy artillery unit at all costs."
The army commander shook his head and said in denial: "No, you just stand still."
"Heavy artillery is the treasure of the garrison. It must be protected by heavy troops."
"The few of you who kill us will not only fail to kill them, but they will also alert the enemy, expose our plan, and force them to hide their heavy artillery again."
"It will be difficult for us to find them then."
"Tell your people to keep an eye on this heavy artillery unit and don't lose it."
"After daybreak, they will definitely leave the road and hide."
"Ask your people to find out for me the specific hiding place of this heavy artillery unit, and then report it to me."
"Chief of Staff, contact the aviation force immediately. After dawn, at least one squadron will be dispatched to the heavy artillery unit's hiding place and blow up this heavy artillery unit for me."
About ten kilometers away from Guanshan Town, an Eighth Route Army unit has been lurking here for almost an hour.
Hidden behind the troops were more than a thousand local troops, guerrillas, and civilians.
Everyone held a shovel in their hands and looked anxiously at the road.
"Company commander, the people from the reconnaissance squad are back!" the platoon commander lying next to the company commander reminded.
Then I saw a figure rushing over: "Company Commander, we've checked everything."
"There are no Japanese and puppet troops on the road in front of us."
"There is an assembly area three kilometers to the east and another assembly area two kilometers to the west. Each is guarded by a battalion of puppet troops and a squadron of Japs. Thousands of people are imprisoned."
"As long as we don't fire any shots here, they won't have any reaction."
The company commander immediately ordered: "The first row is on guard on the left, the second row is on guard on the right, and the others are on standby."
"Local troops, guerrillas, and fellow villagers, start taking action now and strive to destroy the two-kilometer blockade ditch in the middle of the two assembly areas tonight."
At five o'clock in the morning, the political commissar returned to the regiment headquarters after a busy night.
"Captain, the sabotage operation last night went very smoothly."
"We dispatched a total of five troops and organized more than 5,000 local troops, guerrillas, and villagers to participate in the operation."
"Nearly ten kilometers of blockade ditches were successfully destroyed without a single casualty."
Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wang Hong and replied: "Political Commissar, it seems that our idea is correct."
"The operation will continue tomorrow night. The Japanese and puppet troops will dig blockade trenches during the day, and we will destroy them at night to see who can survive until the end."
"But one thing should be noted. The Japanese and puppet troops will definitely be on guard tonight. The main force participating in the operation must strengthen their vigilance to protect the safety of the villagers."
After saying that, Li Hao turned his attention to Hong Linfeng, who had just walked in.
"Chief of Staff, where is the heavy artillery battalion? Is it hidden?"
"Whether we can take down the Japs in Guanshan Town, the heavy artillery battalion is the key."
"The little devil must also know this."
"Now they must be frantically searching for traces of the heavy artillery battalion in our base area to destroy it in advance and prevent it from participating in the war."
Hong Linfeng answered confidently: "Regiment commander, don't worry, the heavy artillery battalion left the road and hid half an hour ago."
"There is a mobile battalion nearby for protection, and it is hidden in the hinterland of our base, so safety is definitely no problem."
"Don't be careless!" Li Hao reminded.
"Although there are no large groups of Japs in the hinterland of the base, there must be a lot of spies and intelligence agents hiding there."
"It will also cause big problems if they find out."
"Don't forget, the Japanese plane can fly directly over our heads, penetrate deep into the base area, and bomb all the targets he wants to bomb."
"Send a telegram to Yuan Qingfeng: Remind him to pay attention to air defense. When lurking, try to disperse the heavy artillery in platoon units, so as not to be overwhelmed by the Japanese planes."
"Also, once the troops are attacked, the artillery must be protected first and then the artillery. People are more important than artillery."
"No matter whether the hiding spot is exposed or not, we must do this. There is nothing wrong with being prepared."
What Li Hao didn't know was that because of his usual caution, at least half of the heavy artillery battalion was saved after three hours.
