The defense battle of Houjia Village was an encounter that no one expected!
Even Meng Shaoyuan had only regarded it as an accidental defense battle before.
The number of troops participating in the battle was less than a hundred.
The scale is small.
The small ones are completely negligible in the history of war.
Meng Shaoyuan was even prepared to encircle and annihilate this Japanese army.
However, the course of events was completely beyond everyone's imagination.
Second Lieutenant Takuya Nakaki, who was commanding this Japanese force, quickly reported to his superiors:
We may have found the headquarters of the 194th Division!
This was a judgment he made after observing the opponent's firepower configuration.
However, at this time, Nakagi Taku still did not dare to make a conclusion.
After all, although the opponent's firepower is strong, the number of people seems to be small.
Is there only this much defense force for a division?
Moreover, from the binoculars, all the other parties were in plainclothes.
Was my judgment wrong, or were the Chinese people playing tricks on me?
More than two hours later, two Japanese planes finally arrived belatedly and bombed and strafed Houjia Village at low altitude.
"Take cover, take cover!"
Li Zhifeng shouted loudly, and then couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, do you need a plane?"
"What's going on? Why are planes even used?"
While Wu Jingyi directed the villagers to find cover, she was also puzzled.
It's just such a small-scale battle, isn't it?
"It's broken!"
Meng Shaoyuan, who was hiding in a safe place, suddenly had his eyes straightened.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "Don't the Japanese regard us as a headquarters?"
"No way." Wu Jingyi also began to realize that something was wrong: "We only have so many people."
"Yes, it's just a small number of people, but the Japanese actually sent two planes!" Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Do you think this is too abnormal?"
"Shao Yuan, if your judgment is correct, the Japanese will definitely increase their troops regardless of the cost, so withdraw as soon as possible."
"No, no."
Meng Shaoyuan shook his head slowly: "I have an idea. If I am right, can we attract the Japanese to the maximum extent?"
"What? You are crazy." Wu Jingyi was shocked: "Our manpower is seriously insufficient. Once surrounded by the Japanese army, it is impossible to break out."
"Think about it for yourself." Meng Shaoyuan became extremely calm: "Now, the 194th Division is fighting fiercely with the Japanese army around Qijia Mountain in the Xiaogang area. If the Japanese army regards Houjia Village as the headquarters, they will definitely divide their forces to attack. This Is it to minimize the frontal pressure on the 194th Division? We can even attract a large amount of artillery fire from the Japanese army."
The young master is crazy.
This time, the young master is really crazy!
"Generate electricity clearly." Meng Shaoyuan said in an indisputable tone: "Orders, Commander Liang Tong of the Reconnaissance Battalion, and Commander Lai Songsheng of the First Battalion and Second Company, move closer to our headquarters as quickly as possible!"
Liang Tong, commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Lai Songsheng, commander of the first battalion and second company?
This is obvious and we need to tell the Japanese!
"Yu Yanchu, Yu Yanchu!"
As soon as the Japanese plane left, Meng Shaoyuan couldn't wait to call Yu Yanchu over: "Where is my military uniform?"
"What military uniform?"
"My major general uniform!"
Meng Shaoyuan, formal military rank: Lieutenant Colonel of the National Revolutionary Army.
Position and rank: Major General!
Everyone knows that Meng Shaoyuan is an official fan and always likes to show off his status as a major general.
But at this time?
Yu Yanchu didn't know what was going to happen: "You won't wear this now, right? If the Japanese see it, they will really think you are a high official."
Wu Jingyi shook her head slightly at her: "He just wants the Japanese to see it."
Yu Yanchu was startled.
Wu Jingyi said again: "Young Master, you are risking your life!"
That shameless scoundrel, greedy for money, lustful, and accustomed to bragging, Master Meng, is going to risk his life this time!
No one thought he would do this.
Even a few minutes ago, Meng Shaoyuan himself would not have thought of doing this!
He always thought that he was afraid of death, terribly afraid.
But at the critical moment, he found that he didn't hesitate for a second when he made this decision!
Foreign enemies invaded and the mountains and rivers were shattered.
If everyone doesn't risk their lives, this country will really be hopeless!
…
"Commander, this is the telegram we just received. It's from Houjiacun. It's clearly a telegram."
Chen Defa took the telegram and looked at it: "What reconnaissance battalion? What first battalion and second company? Where did it come from?"
"I don't know, but this Liang Tong is the deputy station chief of the Ningbo Station of the Military Command Bureau, and now he is the acting station chief."
"From the military command?"
Chen Defa looked at the map: "Which troops are active in Houjia Village?"
"No, our main force is concentrated in Xiaogang. However, there are Japanese troops invading the south. According to the intelligence previously obtained, the military command headquarters is there."
"Meng Shaoyuan!"
Chen Defa blurted out: "I know, I know. Meng Shaoyuan was there to confuse the Japanese army and make them believe that Houjiacun is the headquarters of the 194th Division, attracting enemy firepower!"
"He's crazy?"
"That's crazy!" Chen Defa roared fiercely: "Order all ministries to step up the attack on Qijiashan! Fight the Japanese at all costs! Damn it, those dog spies are risking their lives!"
He stared at the map and murmured:
"Meng Shaoyuan, you bitch spy, stay alive and give me a good life. I, Chen Defa, owe you, and I, the 194th Division, owe you!"
…
"very good!"
Nakagi Takuya held up the telescope and was reluctant to put it down for a moment.
In the telescope, he saw more than once a person wearing the uniform of a squadron major general.
Major General.
Teacher!
This is the headquarters of the 194th Division!
"Tell the headquarters that after confirmation, the headquarters of the China 194th Division is in Houjiacun. I have seen their top military commander! Please come closer to me, please come closer to me!"
"Your Excellency, Second Lieutenant, a large number of Chinese armed personnel have appeared and are rapidly approaching our position!"
"They are here to rescue their commander!" Zhongmu Tuo was not panicked at all, but was overjoyed: "They want to enter Houjia Village, let them in, and then block the gap."
"Hai!"
"Tell all the soldiers that even if we fight to the last soldier, the Chinese will not be allowed to run away from us!"
"Hai!"
…
"Director Meng!"
"Oh my god, Director Meng, what are you doing?"
Lai Songsheng and Liang Tong said at the same time.
Meng Shaoyuan, who appeared in front of them wearing a straight uniform of a major general of the National Revolutionary Army, was still very impressive and energetic.
However, if you wear such an outfit at this time, isn't that exposing yourself to the Japanese?
"The encirclement and annihilation plan will not be implemented for the time being." Meng Shaoyuan did not have time to explain too much to them: "How many people did you bring?"
"According to your order, we mobilized all the manpower we could mobilize, a total of three hundred and fifty people!"
"Enough, enough!" Meng Shaoyuan's expression had never been so calm before: "Everyone, I am determined to fight a defensive battle here!"
