Three days ago, Chu Yunfei got the news through the intelligence system that an important Japanese transport team was about to pass through the defense zone.
In order to capture the Japanese transport team, Chu Yunfei even dispatched half of the 358th Regiment.
As long as the transport team reaches the defense area of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei is sure to eat the Japanese transport team.
now!
In the valley where the 358th Regiment ambush.
Chu Yunfei and his staff officer Fang Ligong were lying on the grass together observing the movements on the highway.
Fang Ligong looked at the time and said anxiously: "Commander, according to the time we imagined, the Japanese should have arrived in our defense area long ago. Why is there no movement yet?"
Chu Yunfei also said with some anxiety: "The intelligence will definitely not be wrong. This is a Japanese telegram intercepted by our military commander. Let's wait and see."
Fang Ligong continued: "Tuanzuo, could it be that the Japanese encountered trouble along the way? Do you want to expand the scope of the reconnaissance?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunfei nodded in agreement and said, "That's okay. Instruct the reconnaissance squad to expand the scope of investigation to within a three-kilometer radius. Once you see a Japanese truck, report it immediately!"
Fang Ligong: "Yes, group, I'll make arrangements right away!"
Subsequently, the reconnaissance squad of the 358th Regiment quickly dispatched and expanded the scope of investigation to three kilometers around.
Ten minutes pass!
Twenty minutes have passed!
The reconnaissance soldiers searched the area completely, but still did not see the Japanese transport team.
Chu Yunfei is autistic. He doesn't know exactly what joint problem caused his seemingly perfect plan.
In order to continue the search, Chu Yunfei expanded the investigation range to ten kilometers at once.
An hour later, the reconnaissance soldiers came back with information.
Chu Yunfei quickly asked: "Where is the Japanese transport team?"
The soldier gasped and said: "Tanzuo... the Japanese transport team was... intercepted!"
"what is going on?"
"Tuanzuo, the Japanese transport team was ambushed about ten kilometers away from us. All the supplies were moved away, and the Japanese cars were blown into a pile of scrap metal."
As he spoke, the reconnaissance soldier took out an Eighth Route Army hat and said, "This is the hat I picked up at the scene. It was the Eighth Route Army that attacked the Japanese!"
What the hell, a carefully prepared ambush was intercepted midway?
At this moment, Chu Yunfei almost exploded with anger. In order to capture this Japanese transport team, he had vowed to his superiors that he would complete the mission.
But in this situation, Chu Yunfei just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in and calm down.
After calming down for a long time, Chu Yunfei said in despair: "I haven't heard of an Eighth Route Army team near our jurisdiction? The Xinyi Group in Qinggang Village, which is closest to us, is also thirty kilometers away from here.
Could it be that the Eighth Route Army also intercepted the Japanese telegram and sent a new regiment to intercept it halfway? "
Staff officer Fang Ligong agreed: "Based on the current situation, it is not impossible."
After that, Fang Ligong added: "But the New Regiment just broke out of the encirclement some time ago. According to our intelligence, the New Regiment suffered heavy losses. There are less than a hundred people in the whole regiment.
It has only been less than half a month. It is estimated that it will be difficult for the New Regiment to regain its strength. Therefore, I personally think that it is unlikely that the New Regiment attacked the Japanese transport team. "
After listening to Fang Ligong's analysis, Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "Maybe Brother Ligong is right, but no matter what, this time our 358th Regiment gave all the ducks in the mouth to the friendly forces."
Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong did not expect that the one who attacked the Japanese transport team was the new group that they thought was the most unlikely.
The New Regiment had indeed suffered heavy losses before this, but they could not have guessed that the New Regiment would recover so quickly. In less than half a month, it had more than 2,000 troops.
Adding in the prisoners of war and puppet troops just collected from the Japanese prison, the cooking squad and the militia squad, the actual strength of the new regiment reached 3,000.
Later, Fang Ligong asked the investigating soldier again: "How is the fighting situation at the scene?"
The reconnaissance soldier recalled: "The Japs were almost wiped out. There was no explosion at the scene, not a single grenade was used, and the Japs were almost all killed by snipers."
Fang Ligong couldn't help but be shocked: "Were all these Japs killed by snipers?"
The reconnaissance soldier nodded and said: "Chief of Staff, I read that right. Most of the Japs were shot between the eyebrows and killed with one shot!"
After hearing this, both Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong fell silent.
After a long while, Chu Yunfei said slowly: "Use our intelligence system to thoroughly investigate this matter for me.
When did an eight-pronged team with such high-precision shooting appear in northwestern Shanxi? I want to know the situation, the more detailed the better! "
"Yes!" Feeling Chu Yunfei's anger, Fang Ligong did not continue his analysis.
After that, Chu Yunfei returned to his base in despair with the 358 regiments who had been ambushing here for a day and night.
