At the Japanese brigade headquarters in Baoding, Major General Hase was studying the map with a sullen face.
Since he judged that the Duer Regiment had reinforcements, he had not received any other information about the reinforcements.
In the eyes of Major General Hase, as long as the enemy is exposed in front of him, no matter how strong he is, he can find a way to defeat him.
But if the enemy doesn't appear, all the tactics and strategies in mind will be useless.
Because you don't know your opponent, any mistake may bring a devastating blow to the army.
In order to avoid such an accident, he had to suspend all mopping up plans against the Duer Regiment.
"The enemy has so many reinforcements and is equipped with a large number of mortars and infantry artillery. It is impossible for them to disappear out of thin air. They must be hiding in a corner that we have not detected!" Major General Hase was still thinking about the reinforcements of the Duer Regiment and staring at the sand table. analyze.
The chief of staff pointed to several points on the sand table and analyzed: "Every area occupied by the imperial army has been searched!"
"Every ravine and every forest has been surveyed... The aviation force has also been patrolling and alerting the skies over Shunping... Except for a small group of guerrillas, no formal Eighth Route Army has been found!"
"The humble official suspects that they have withdrawn to the Duer Regiment base under cover of night!"
"It's close to a mountainous area, the terrain is complex, and we have very few intelligence personnel!"
"If they hide in a corner of the Duer Regiment's base, it will be difficult to find them!"
"Report..." The communications staff officer suddenly ran to the two of them and handed the telegram he had just received to the chief of staff!
The chief of staff glanced at him and turned pale. He looked at Major General Hase and reported seriously: "General, the Junping garrison has found reinforcements from the Duer Regiment!"
"The reinforcements that defeated the quick reaction brigade came from northwestern Shanxi, and they are also famous independent regiments!"
"No wonder they have the guts to annihilate the rapid reaction brigade!"
"If the rapid reaction brigade responds a little slower and is blocked in South Korea Village... Judging from the performance of the Northwest Shanxi Independent Regiment on other battlefields, even if the quick reaction brigade has wings, it will not even think about escaping from this unit!"
"That's the independent regiment that severely damaged a second-class division with one regiment!" Major General Hase asked with disbelief.
Then he pointed at the sand table and shook his head and retorted: "This is impossible!"
"Northwestern Shanxi is hundreds of kilometers away from here, and we need to pass through several imperial army blockades. The target may be exposed at any time and be bombed by aviation. No matter how stupid the Eighth Route Army is, it will not send a troop to march hundreds of kilometers to reinforce Shunping..."
"If you want to mobilize troops, they must be mobilized from the vicinity of Shunping. It is impossible to go hundreds of kilometers away!"
The chief of staff frowned and answered: "I don't believe it either, but what I said above is reasonable and well-founded. Even if I want to refute it, I can't find a reason!"
"What's the reason?" Major General Hase asked quickly. This matter was too big for him to be careless.
The chief of staff handed the telegram to the brigade commander and explained: "Harada-kun who is stationed at Junpei reported that the newly appointed commander of the Duer Regiment, Kong Jie, happened to be the previous commander of the Northwestern Shanxi Independent Regiment!"
"In order to let the old regiment leader gain a foothold as soon as possible and open up the situation, the Northwest Shanxi Independent Regiment specially sent three main battalions to move around the wings to reinforce the Independent Second Regiment!"
The suspicious expression on Major General Hase's face was slowly replaced by solemnity. He stared at the sand table and analyzed: "Now we are in trouble!"
"The Northwestern Shanxi Independent Regiment has a very strong combat effectiveness. Without aviation reinforcements, the three main battalions can confront our three infantry brigades head-on without any problem!"
"Then the strength of the opponents we face has suddenly become several times stronger than before!"
"If they continue to attack the Independent Regiment according to the original battle plan, the mopping up troops may become a piece of fat on their lips!"
"Chief of Staff, immediately re-formulate the sweep plan based on this new situation!"
"The mopping up force will also need to be increased to a mixed brigade, and two more regiments of the Imperial Alliance Army will be sent to cooperate!"
"Call Harada-kun back: Immediately find out the true situation of the reinforcements of the Duer Regiment and the Independent Regiment. The more detailed the better."
"Prepare another month's rations and other supplies for the eight thousand troops!"
"The brigade headquarters will send the supporting ammunition in advance and let him prepare the warehouse!"
"By the way, inform the division commander of the arrival of the Northwestern Shanxi Independent Regiment in Shunping, and ask him to contact the aviation force and immediately prepare three aircraft to escort our transport team anytime and anywhere..."
The Pingyang Town Hall has now become the headquarters of the Shunping garrison, which is also the former enemy headquarters of the independent regiment's reinforcements.
At this moment, Huang Yu was referring to the topographic map he had just drawn by hand to build the tunnel network outside the town to make it more hidden and stronger.
"Captain... there's a situation in Shunping County!" Duan Pengfeng rushed in and reported excitedly before he could stand still.
"I don't know what the little devil is doing. He opened the city gate early this morning and allowed the people to come and go freely!"
"Do they think the battle is over and the city can relax its vigilance?"
"Snapped……"
Huang Yu suddenly punched the table.
A pair of eyes became hot at the same time, staring at Duan Peng and asking: "Are you sure you saw it correctly..."
Duan Peng nodded and answered firmly: "I'm sure I'm humble... There are more Japanese and puppet troops checking the people passing by at the city gate, and the inspections are stricter than before!"
"But as long as they are ordinary people in the city and have good citizen certificates, they can sneak into the county!"
"God help me!" Huang Yu became more and more excited as he listened and couldn't help but sigh.
"I have been thinking of ways to fight against the Japs. It would be best to win a big victory and convince the Japs that we are the reinforcements sent by the Northwestern Shanxi Independent Regiment..."
"But only the county town of Shunping is still in the hands of the Japanese. The Japanese and puppet troops are hiding inside and are unable to come out easily. Even if the garrison has formed a combat force with a total strength of more than 2,000 people, it will be difficult to capture it through a frontal attack!"
"Now's your chance!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops in the city are limited, especially the little Japs. There are less than 400 people left. There are not even 100 people in each direction of the county seat!"
"If the special forces can sneak into the county, launch an attack from the inside, and capture a city gate...Shunping County will become easily accessible!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding will also completely believe the false identity we made up!"
Wang Lin was once again frightened by Huang Yu's huge appetite.
When the Duer Regiment was still the Duer Brigade, they did not dare to attack Shunping County.
Although there are about a thousand soldiers in the Junpei garrison, half of the soldiers have just joined the army and have not even learned to shoot. There are only three to four hundred veterans who can actually participate in the war, and there are not as many as the little devils in the city. How can we fight?
He was about to open his mouth to persuade, but Huang Yu didn't give him a chance to speak and asked Duan Peng directly: "Is there any way for your special team to sneak into Shunping?"
Duan Peng answered confidently: "It's no problem to enter the city...but we need the captain to prepare some good citizen certificates for us!"
Huang Yu immediately replied: "This is easy to solve..."
"We visited the town hall and the police station, and we seized a lot of certificates of good citizenship. You can have as many as you want!"
"I'll give you two days to prepare..."
"After entering the city, take a day off and get some handy equipment for the team members entering the city..."
"At twelve o'clock sharp the day after tomorrow, I will launch an siege from the east gate!"
"You have two tasks: one is to seize the Japanese garrison headquarters within five minutes of the start of the siege, control the radio, and prevent the Japanese from asking for help from Baoding. The faster the better!"
"The other task is to cooperate with the main force to capture Shunping East Gate and cover the main force to enter the county seat!"
"As long as the troops enter the city, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the city will be a piece of meat for us to eat as much as we want!"
"If possible, it's best to take down the Shunping Arsenal as well!"
"Half of our soldiers are still empty-handed. Next, the army will expand, and the demand for weapons will be even greater..."
"Although the Shunping arsenal is not big, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. We must not let the Japanese explode them!"
After Duan Peng left, Wang Lin finally found a chance to speak and immediately asked: "Captain, are we too brave to attack Shunping County with just a few of us?"
"If we are unable to attack for a long time and Baoding sends a quick counterattack brigade, we will be attacked from both sides and the losses will definitely be huge!"
"When the Duer Regiment was still the Duer Brigade, we did not dare to attack Shunping County for this reason, otherwise the base area would have been more than twice as large as it is now!"
Huang Yu didn't explain much. He patted him on the shoulder and comforted him with confidence: "If you don't have diamonds, I won't do the porcelain work!"
"Since I dare to fight Junpei, I can be sure of a quick victory!"
"As for Baoding, I guarantee that they will not receive any news of Baoding being attacked during the battle!"
"You haven't seen the street fighting prowess of a special operations team!"
"When we take down Junpei, you will know how strong the special forces are in the city. Why do I attach so much importance to the special forces!"
"Execute the order. Even if I report to the regiment headquarters for this operation, the regiment leader will support me unconditionally!"
“Capturing Junping will not only convince the Japanese of our false identity of being from northwestern Shanxi, but also replenish the troops with a large amount of weapons and ammunition, further boost the morale of the troops, enhance the determination of the surrounding people to resist Japan, and make them trust us and support us more. "
"The most important thing: use this battle to disrupt the Japanese's rhythm of sweeping away the Duer Regiment!"
"Let them not be able to judge our true combat effectiveness and constantly change their combat plans!"
"As a result, they may not be ready to attack in another month and a half!"
"For the Duer Group, time is more precious than anything else!"
"The longer the Japanese and puppet attacks are delayed, the better it is for us... This is a great thing that can achieve multiple goals with one stone!"
"I have another idea: Shunping County is the base for the Japanese army to sweep us forward. After taking Shunping, the Japanese will definitely find a way to take it back!"
"Maybe the troops can use Junping as bait, play a good game with the little devils, and directly drag the Japanese and puppet troops to sweep our troops to death in Junping. Then the crisis facing the base area will be relieved!"
"You really dare to think about it!" Wang Lin was shocked and admired.
Although they have only been in contact with Huang Yu for a short time, it can be seen from the confidence and confidence shown on his face that the Shunping defense team is bound to win this battle!
Because he had seen this expression when the troops attacked the Pingyang stronghold, attacked the Hekou stronghold, and ambushed the Japanese rapid squadron.
Those battles were all won without exception, or completely...
