"Report to the leader, the first group has arrived!"
When Xu Baichuan heard that people had arrived, he immediately said: "Come on, our Captain Bi Da is here. We have to greet him, otherwise he will be angry!"
The four regiment leaders and political commissar laughed at the same time.
"That bitch is talking bad about me behind my back?" came a voice from the door.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bi Hua's figure appeared at the entrance of the command department. He pointed at Xu Baichuan and said,
"Old Xu, I will know it's you as soon as I hear it!"
"You have dog ears, right? You can hear it from such a distance?" Xu Baichuan scolded with a smile.
"You don't care what my ears are, but you scolded me anyway. Without two crooked machine guns, I can't get through this!" Bi Hua opened his mouth and wanted to shoot.
"Ha ha……."
Several regiment leaders and political commissars in the headquarters suddenly laughed. Xu Baichuan pointed at Bi Hua and cursed:
"You're a kid who knows how to plunder money every day. Last time you took a Czech-style car from me, and now you haven't returned it!"
Bi Hua kept his face straight and said plausibly, "Who told me that I am a temporary group with the shortest history and insufficient weapons and equipment? You big brothers don't want to help me more?
By the way, Lao Xu, look who I got back for you? "
Bi Hua stepped aside, revealing the Wen Gu brother and sister outside the door.
Xu Baichuan was overjoyed and ran over to hug him to reminisce. He ran close and suddenly stopped.
"Boss, I miss you so much!"
Wen Gu walked in and looked at Xu Baichuan's energetic Eighth Route Army uniform, and praised: "Old Xu, you look very good in the clothes you are wearing now!"
"Haha, I think so. Now as long as I talk about fighting the Japanese, I feel energetic!"
In the afternoon, the second regiment also caught up. After the two regiments changed their defenses, each regiment rushed to its own position.
Xu Baichuan's temporary headquarters, he was discussing matters with political commissar Zhao Tiancheng,
"Old Zhao, all the troops will arrive at their designated positions tomorrow night at best, and the battle will begin early the day after tomorrow. What I am most worried about now is the Japanese field heavy artillery regiment.
So far we have not found their location, which is a very serious hidden danger! "
Zhao Tiancheng said solemnly, "Yes, it's like it's stuck in your throat and hard to swallow. If the Japanese heavy artillery regiment appears at a critical moment, our encirclement and suppression plan will most likely fail!"
The brigade headquarters' reconnaissance battalion searched the surroundings for more than ten days, but found no trace of them. Every time after the shelling, the reconnaissance battalion passed by, either being blocked by the Japanese, or unable to keep up because it took too long. "
Wen Gu also looked at the map. He pondered for a while and asked, "When was the last time the field heavy artillery regiment appeared?"
"Four days ago, the fighting stopped after that, and both sides were resting!" Xu Baichuan opened his mouth and he remembered these data clearly.
"Four days? Does the reconnaissance battalion know whether the Japanese heavy artillery is dragged by trucks or transported by horses?"
"It should be transported by horses. Although trucks can be used in the terrain around Taipinggang, there are not many places that can be reached."
Wen Gu asked strangely: "The longest range of the Japanese 150mm howitzer is only 8.8 kilometers.
The reconnaissance battalion can be centered on Taiping Post and mark all places within this range that can be used as artillery positions. "
"Of course I did, but the devil is very cunning. He only appeared three times in total. We didn't know it before, so we were caught off guard.
After appearing, the reconnaissance battalion went to find their location. Who knew that the Japanese had protected this heavy artillery regiment very well?
They also set up a blockade behind the enemy. Every time they crossed it, they would be discovered. After finally breaking through, the enemy artillerymen had already escaped! "
Xu Baichuan thought of countless ways, but to no avail.
"Then have you spotted the Japanese artillery observers?"
"Of course there are, but they are all hiding among the Japanese infantry. Even if they are discovered, we can't hit them!"
Wen Gu took down the pen in his hand and sighed: "It seems that it will not be easy to find this group of Japanese artillerymen!"
After Wen Xin listened for a long time, everyone stopped before she spoke.
"Now that the Japs' focus has shifted to the 37th Division coming from the ancient city, will the Field Heavy Artillery Regiment go there?"
Wen Gu shook his head, "It's possible, but it's not very likely!
Because after the Japanese break through our current defense line, they will also have to rendezvous and advance. Now the road is far away, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and they will also face attacks from the guerrillas in the base area.
It's unlikely that they're leaving. They should still be hiding somewhere around.
Little sister, the most important thing for us now is to find the heavy artillery unit! "
Xu Baichuan felt that it would be inefficient to go to them alone, so he asked, "Do you need me to arrange for soldiers from the reconnaissance company to come with me?"
Wen Gu thought for a while, it was good to have more people, but ordinary soldiers couldn't keep up with their speed, so he had to say:
"No need for now, wait until we find it!"
Dakui wanted to go with him, but Wenxin refused and asked him to follow Xu Baichuan at the headquarters and continue to be a guard.
At the same time, in the Japanese camp outside Taipinggang, Lieutenant General Sasaki Toichi, the commander of the independent third brigade, was also looking at the map.
The chief of staff of the brigade, Miyashita Keigo, said worriedly, "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the Fifth Brigade disguised itself and entered the Tubal Road base for two days.
Why is there no news yet? Will something happen to them? "
Sasaki took off the gloves on his hands and said with the same annoyance, "Kasahara Jiro was one of the first troops to enter Jin Province.
He has been studying Tubal Road for more than a year. Since she took the initiative to infiltrate, he should be somewhat sure. "
Miyashita Jiewu sighed: "Although the Black Wind Mountain base on Tubal Road was established less than a year ago, it has developed rapidly. The empire has no sources of information in this huge village.
No matter it is our own intelligence personnel or the Yanhuang people who have taken refuge in us, there is no way to penetrate it. It can be seen that this Tubalu is very difficult to deal with! "
"I hope they can succeed. As for their radio station being silent now, the agreed contact time hasn't come yet. Let's wait. I hope there will be good news!"
There was silence in the command room.
The Wen Gu brothers and sisters kept walking south, bypassed the blockade of the third brigade, and then turned north.
I searched like this for three days in a row, searching all within a 9-kilometer range, but not a ghost of the field heavy artillery regiment was seen.
"That's weird. It doesn't make sense. Have these devils escaped to Luyuan City?"
Wen Gu was lying on the back of a hillside, muttering to himself.
When the bored Wen Xin heard Lu Yuancheng's "ding", his eyes lit up.
"Brother, won't we find out if we go there?"
Luyuan is the logistics base of the third brigade, and there are a lot of things in it. Being able to get rid of Luyuan will definitely be helpful to the battle situation.
But the most important thing now is to find this field heavy artillery unit. The 150mm howitzer is too powerful. With one shot, there will be no survivors within 50 meters.
