Li Changshui said worriedly: "This is too passive. We must accurately grasp the whereabouts of the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops. Where will they go next?"
Xu Dalong said: "The Japanese army is unfamiliar with our base area. They dare not enter rashly and may try. But as long as the base area is tightly sealed, the Japanese army will have no chance to take advantage of it. They should go to the front line of Licheng to follow them." The main forces converge."
Li Changshui was still very worried. He said, "It's a very important matter. We can't rely on guesswork. Do you think there are any other ways?"
Xu Dalong said: "We can force the Japanese army to seek shelter from the main force. Now, although the special operations brigade and the cavalry brigade cannot openly set up checkpoints on the highway, they can form small groups to check passing vehicles on the highway at any time.
The Japanese army cannot grasp the whereabouts of our cavalry, and it is difficult to pose a threat to them. With such actions, the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops were worried about being detected, and they could only seek shelter from other Japanese troops. "
Li Changshui nodded and said: "This is a solution. Then inform Deputy Captain Sun and others quickly."
After Sun Desheng and Wei Monk received the telegram from Xu Dalong, they immediately made arrangements. They sent a large number of personnel to form a small team. Whenever they saw a suspicious target, they would suddenly appear on the highway to conduct an inspection. After the inspection, they would quickly evacuate.
At this time, Oshima CITIC and the Super High School Section Chief had already escorted the epidemic prevention and water supply troops into Yushan County. They were also very careful. They sent a truck about one kilometer in front of the convoy to explore the road. Once they found that the Eighth Route Army was intercepting it, they escorted the epidemic prevention and water supply troops to move in other directions.
Just as the convoy approached Yushan County, Oshima Zhongxin saw a group of Japanese cavalry appearing around the truck in front. They stopped the truck in front for inspection.
Oshima Zhongxin originally thought that the Eighth Route Army no longer dared to set up checkpoints, but he did not expect that they would adopt such guerrilla tactics to intercept and inspect. This method was really difficult to guard against. God knows when a group of Eighth Route Army cavalry would suddenly appear.
He quickly ordered to stop, then turned the car around and returned to the town they had just passed through.
The person who intercepted the vehicle was the Fourth Squadron of the Cavalry Brigade. When they intercepted the truck on the highway, they did not forget to look around. They found that a truck turned around on the road, which was very suspicious.
They immediately sent some people to follow up and at the same time sent people to report to their superiors.
Xu Dalong and others were driving on the highway when they received a telegram from Sun Desheng and Wei Monk, saying that there was a high possibility that the Japanese anti-epidemic and water supply troops had appeared in Yushan County. They immediately rushed towards Yushan County.
Oshima Zhongxin and the Super High School Section Chief discovered the Eighth Route Army cavalry following them and knew that their whereabouts had been exposed.
They tried their best to conceal the truth, but they did not expect to be discovered by the enemy in this way. They were worried that they would soon attract a large force of the Eighth Route Army. Not caring about their face, they quickly sent a telegram to the chief of staff, requesting that a large number of Japanese troops be sent to escort them.
Nowadays, the fighting on the front line is tense, and the Japanese army is almost running out of ammunition and food. At present, the only guarantee for this battle is the epidemic prevention and water supply force.
The chief of staff was well aware of the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly issued a death order to the Japanese and puppet troops near Yushan County, asking them to rush to Yushan County immediately to escort the epidemic prevention and water supply troops. The surrounding Japanese and puppet troops rushed to Yushan County frantically.
At this time, there were too few Eighth Route Army troops operating in this area and could only intercept a small number of Japanese and puppet troops.
Soon, thousands of Japanese and puppet troops gathered around the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops. By midnight that day, more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops had arrived. At 10 a.m. the next day, an infantry regiment from the Japanese 31st Garrison Division also arrived here. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the commander of the regiment, was appointed as the temporary commander-in-chief, commanding the Japanese and puppet army protection epidemic prevention and water supply troops in Yushan County.
Not only that, the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade also sent two infantry brigades to meet the epidemic prevention and water supply troops along the way.
Sun Desheng and Wei Monk sent telegrams to various squadrons of the cavalry brigade and special operations brigade scattered in various places, asking them to gather in Yushan County. The two of them also led the troops left behind and rushed over.
Xu Dalong and Li Changshui were very happy. In any case, they finally found the exact location of the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply unit. Their hearts were half relieved. They also sped up and rushed over.
Li Changshui said with emotion: "Thanks to the cavalry brigade and special operations brigade operating in this area, the little devils had to show their true colors."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "This is called in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trick are just decoration."
After Colonel Toyotomi Hideyoshi met with Oshima Chongsin and the Super High School Section Chief, the three of them discussed the next action together.
He said: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, Oshima-kun, I have received an order from the First Army Headquarters to fully cooperate with your department's actions. What are your plans next?"
Before Toyotomi Hideyoshi arrived, Oshima CITIC and the Super High School Section Chief had already discussed it. After this stage of fighting, they also deeply felt the power of the Eighth Route Army. Now they have no courage to implement other plans. Their only wish is to escort the epidemic prevention and water supply troops to the front line and join the main force. In this way their mission is half accomplished. As for how to carry out the attack, we will wait until we reach the front line of Licheng.
The head of the Section of Science and Technology told Toyotomi Hideyoshi of their discussion.
The 31st Garrison Division, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi belonged, was responsible for local security. During this period, it suffered a lot from the attacks of the Eighth Route Army's cavalry brigade and special operations brigade. He was worried that the Super High Section Chief and the others would ask him to perform other tasks. He was relieved when he heard that they were just escorting them to the front line of Licheng to join the main force.
The total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops gathered here now exceeds 6,000. Despite this, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is still a little worried. He asked Huang Xiejun's 2nd Division to send two regiments over and accept his command.
He decided to escort the epidemic prevention and water supply troops to the front line of Licheng after the troops from these two regiments arrived.
The commander of the first brigade of the Second Division of Huang Xiejun led two regiments out of Jiyuan County and headed for Yushan County. As soon as they entered Yushan County, they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army cavalry.
Although there were only three squadrons of Eighth Route Army cavalry who arrived here, they dealt a heavy blow to Huang Xiejun. They didn't know how many Eighth Route Army cavalry were around, and they were worried that the whole army would be destroyed. They had no intention of fighting, left hundreds of corpses, and retreated to Jiyuan County in panic with their troops.
While Sun Desheng and Wei Monk were gathering their troops, they ordered their troops to intercept Japanese and puppet troops on the spot if they encountered them on their way to Yushan County. They would annihilate small groups of Japanese puppet troops when they encountered them, and harass large groups when they encountered them. .
After receiving the report, Toyotomi Hideyoshi said worriedly: "This is already the fifth incident of being attacked by enemy forces. The small units of our army around us no longer dare to come for reinforcements. I am afraid that the main force of the Eighth Route Army will soon Rally.
I think we can't stay here any longer and we need to set off quickly. "
Oshima CITIC and the Super High School Section Chief also believe that there are already a lot of troops gathered here, and they should seize the time to get on their way before the main force of the enemy army has been assembled. They stopped staying and immediately headed to Yushan County.
Just as they were approaching Yushan County, they encountered a squadron of the special operations brigade. The Japanese and puppet troops killed and injured nearly a hundred people. After entering Yushan County, they collected some vehicles and horses in the county. In addition to daily necessities, they also brought the Japanese and puppet troops in Yushan County with them. They set off overnight and continued on their way.
After the Japanese and puppet troops left the city, the squadron that had previously attacked their special operations brigade and the two squadrons of the cavalry brigade that arrived launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops did not dare to fight, and they were fighting while rushing on their way. Soon after, two other cavalry squadrons arrived and joined the attack on the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops were in a very embarrassed state, losing troops and generals along the way. By the time they entered Huairou County, they had lost more than 1,000 people.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi really didn't dare to move forward anymore. He said: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, Oshima-kun, more and more enemy cavalry are arriving here. Coupled with the time we have to rest here, I'm afraid the enemy The main force of the army's cavalry has already arrived. If all the enemy's main force gathers here, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Licheng County at all, and we will all be eaten by the enemy on the way."
The super high school section chief was also frightened. He said: "Oshima-kun, I think Toyotomi-kun is right. Licheng is not too far away. I think we should just stick to Huairou County and wait for the Yellow Army's attack." The main force will come over, and then we will go to Licheng together."
Oshima Zhongxin now has no idea. He is also worried that the epidemic prevention and water supply troops will be surrounded and annihilated by the Eighth Route Army's cavalry troops in the wild.
He agreed with the opinions of the Super High School Section Chief and the Regiment Captain, and the three of them jointly sent a telegram to the Chief of Staff of the First Army, stating their experiences and opinions, hoping to stay in Huairou County and await reinforcements.
The chief of staff agreed to their request. He sent a telegram to the 11th independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, asking them to go to Huairou County, join Oshima Zhongxin and others, and escort the epidemic prevention and water supply troops to the front line of Licheng.
On the outskirts of Huairou County, Xu Dalong, Li Changshui and others met with Sun Desheng and Wei Monk. In a cornfield, Xu Dalong, Li Changshui, Sun Desheng, Wei Monk and others sat on the ground to discuss the next action plan.
Sun Desheng said: "Captain, I have received a report that the Japanese independent mixed 11th Brigade has sent two infantry brigades and is on its way to Huairou County. Should we kill the Japs from these two brigades on the way?"
Xu Dalong did not express his opinion, but just said: "You guys, please share your opinions."
Monk Wei said: "I agree with Deputy Captain Sun. Let's first kill the Japs who come for reinforcements. These Japs hiding in Huairou County dare not come out, and their epidemic prevention and water supply troops will not be able to play their role.
The little devils on the front line are almost out of ammunition and food. They can't hold on for much longer. We won the battle in Licheng. "
Li Changshui said with some worry: "It is not an option to continue like this. The most important thing is to kill the little devil's epidemic prevention and water supply troops."
For Li Qiulin, the people here used to be his commanders, but now he has become a special operations captain directly under the military region headquarters. His rank has also risen, and he can express his opinions at such an important meeting.
He said: "I also agree with Deputy Captain Sun's opinion to trap the Japanese defense water supply troops in Huairou County. At least we know they are here.
If they were allowed to join the Japanese army, it would be difficult to deal with it. Let's surround the Japs in Huairou County first, and then find a way to go inside the county and kill those little Japs who put poison. "
Li Changshui said: "This is also a way. However, the Japs are very tightly guarded, so this matter may not be easy to handle. The bacteria and poisonous gases carried by the Japs' epidemic prevention and water supply troops cannot be exposed in the county. Even though they are enemies here We occupy the area, but the people there are also our Chinese people, so we cannot let them suffer harm."
Li Qiulin said: "How about releasing the little devils and destroying them in the wild? Wouldn't it hurt the common people?"
Sun Desheng said: "If we don't kill the two brigades of little Japs who came for reinforcements and let them go into the city to join the Japs troops in the city, they will have too many troops.
The little devils clearly know that we are watching them, so they will be very vigilant. It would be difficult to ambush them. Even in the wild, with so many Japanese troops, it would be difficult to eat them. "
Li Qiulin said: "But if we kill these two brigades of Japs, the Japs will huddle in the city and cannot come out, which will be difficult to deal with. If we go into the city to attack the Japs' epidemic prevention and water supply troops, the Japs will become anxious, and they will be here There is poison in the city. What should we do?"
Li Changshui said: "We have to think of a way to not only allow the Japanese to come out, but also be sure to eliminate them in the wild."
Everyone has expressed their opinions, and we all know that these opinions are not perfect. In the end, everyone focused their attention on Xu Dalong, waiting for him to make the final decision.
Xu Dalong already had a countermeasure at this time. He said: "Let me ask you a question, under what circumstances will the little devil not easily carry out a biological and chemical weapon attack? Are you afraid that those bacteria and poisonous gas will be released, so you must strictly protect yourself?"
Li Changshui was thoughtful, and Sun Desheng immediately said: "The damn little devils have no humanity, they don't care about the life and death of the people, they can release poisonous gas at any time.
I think there is only one kind of place, as the captain said, where the Japanese will not only not release poison casually, but will also strictly protect them, and that is among the crowds of young Japanese. "
