South of Neihuang County.
The student team of the Ninth Battalion arrived at the temporary location arranged in advance by the staff of the first division.
After a quick breakfast, we rested under the arrangement of the district staff.
After having breakfast, instructor Wang Liujin, who had not slept a wink all night, first arranged for the inspection team's security personnel with the enemy officer Colin.
Then he went to the temporary office of the Enemy Industry Department in the village without stopping to read the briefing and learn about the distribution of enemies nearby.
The class that Director Lin was supposed to teach in the morning fell to him again.
It’s not easy to be an instructor!
After lunch, we continued to talk about combat theory.
After four o'clock, the theoretical study finally ended.
Instructor Wang waved the three groups of students to go back to discuss.
Let the three study captains stay.
There is a map on the broken table, and there are people sitting on each of the four long benches.
Wang Liujin sat at the head, Hu Yi sat opposite Wang Liujin, company commander Zhang of the first division sat on the left of Hu Yi, and the cadet captain of the fifth division sat opposite company commander Zhang.
Hu Yi's eyes habitually fell on the map in front of him. After a glance, he keenly realized that something seemed wrong about the current location.
On the south side of the map is a group of super-large arrows connected horizontally.
Looking at the direction of the arrow, there should be enemies starting from Kaifeng on the south side of the Yellow River and advancing parallel to the north.
Another force set out from Xinxiang, a little west of the Yellow River, and headed north along the Ping-Han Railway until Anxian.
Wang Liujin occasionally glanced at the expressions of the three captains in front of him. He reached out again, picked up half of the steamed bun in the bowl on the bench next to him and stuffed it into his mouth. He tilted his head and mouth to the edge of the inverted lunch box and shook it for several times. Down.
After wiping his mouth, he spoke: "Enemy information report: The Puppet 24th Army reorganized in Kaifeng set off yesterday. The troops divided into multiple routes and advanced northward to encircle and suppress our Weinan base area. According to their speed, they will reach the direction before dark today. Changyuan County area. 2. The puppet troops reorganized in Xinxiang moved north along the Ping-Han Railway and deployed additional troops at the large and small railway stations along the way."
After Wang Liujin finished speaking, he looked at Company Commander Zhang: "How is the ability of the students in your team to read pictures?"
Captain Zhang smiled proudly and said: "Not only can I read pictures, but I can also do simple homework on them."
Wang Liujin suddenly took out a pencil and said maliciously: "Hey, if you can mark our current location, I will recognize that the students in your first division can read pictures."
"You want to test me?" Captain Zhang was stunned for a moment and curled his lips: "There is no way."
After speaking, he took a pencil and lightly traced a small circle on the map, then determined the direction, calculated the total time spent on the journey last night to determine how many miles he had traveled, and used his index finger and thumb to mark the distance on the map.
Finally, accurately mark the location on the map.
"Not bad. The training subjects in the evening are: position fortifications, and the task of setting up the sand table will be left to you and Student Liu from the fifth division." After Wang Liujin finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from the briefcase on the stool next to him and handed it to Company Commander Zhang: " Just follow this arrangement. You’ll need it before class in the evening.”
Company Commander Zhang took the piece of paper and jumped up immediately: "What? This is obviously the layout map of Neihuang County."
Wang Liujin glared at Company Commander Zhang: "What? Do you have a problem?"
"Report to the instructor and ensure that the mission is completed!" After saying this, he grabbed the captain of the students from the fifth division next to him, and the two hurriedly went out to look for someone.
Seeing the two of them going out, Wang Liujin muttered mysteriously: "Let's go to Neihuang County tonight."
Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
"Keep your voice down. The armed task force from the first division has gone to Neihuang County to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. In the evening we will conduct a training raid on Neihuang County."
Hu Yi thought for a while: "We have to carry out security work."
"Don't worry, the inspection team is accompanied by the chiefs of the division. It's impossible for anything to happen."
"What's the meaning?"
"Hey, since we wiped out many Huidaomen armed forces, the bandits under the Wang family and his son, who were originally from the Huang family, saw that the situation was not good, and began to contact the reactionary armed forces. They did a lot of work in the first division, allowing some bandits to secretly join our Eighth Route Army , Now the life of the bandits is getting worse day by day. In the past two days, Wang Sanzhu led most of the bandits to the west, and the defense of Neihuang County was empty."
Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "You mean you really want to attack the county?
"What does it mean to attack the county town? It means to attack the county town at night. Try to win it without firing a shot or a bullet like we did yesterday with the gun towers."
Hu Yi almost dropped his jaw: "Can you really imagine that it is a county town? There are tens of thousands of people in the city, and half of them are bandits and their families."
"Don't worry, most of the bandits and puppet troops in Neihuang City were taken away by Wang Sanzhu. The defense in the city is empty. This time, the 145th Division Armed Task Force is also participating in the battle."
Hu Yi was shocked and quickly looked at the map: "If we really want to take action, we have to send people into the city in advance."
"This is a combat mission assigned by superiors to test the possibility of our Eighth Route Army raiding the enemy's county. Therefore, we first selected a soft persimmon as a pilot."
Hu Yi thought for a moment and immediately understood that the superiors should have doubts about the local counterattack plan proposed by the leader. It is the same reason to pilot it first, just like on the battlefield, and to let the machine gunner conduct fire reconnaissance before the battle begins.
Thinking of this, he suggested to Wang Liujin: "The first division must have arranged latent intelligence personnel in the county."
Wang Liujin shook his head: "The superiors requested that the intelligence system of the first division cannot be used in this attack. It is just to test the surprise attack capability of the combat troops."
Hu Yi's mind wandered, and he suddenly thought of the former National Army defense zone in Taihang South!
It seems that the superiors plan to capture the mountainous area in the southern part of Taihang before the friendly troops surrendered to the enemy!
I finally figured it out, and I seemed to have a lot of information.
Regarding the overall situation of the Taihang Anti-Japanese War, what I know is like a drop in the bucket.
Thinking of this: "You can't use the intelligence system. You have to go into the city to conduct reconnaissance to find out the enemy's situation in the city."
Wang Liujin nodded: "The superiors have not imposed any restrictions on reconnaissance. In my opinion, it is best not to exceed one squad."
Hu Yi shook his head: "The superiors made a surprise attack plan to test the siege capabilities of the combat troops. Didn't we just take the opportunity to test the trainees' adaptability?"
"What you said seems to make sense." Wang Liujin suddenly paused: "Uh, no, you can't participate in the reconnaissance. If your student team takes over the county, it won't necessarily be a good thing."
Naturally, the easier it is to raid a county seat, the better. If the student team can capture the county seat, wouldn't it be better?
Hu Yi really didn't understand: "I don't seem to understand what you mean."
"The combat effectiveness of your ninth battalion cannot represent the fighting of most of our Eighth Route Army. Do you understand?"
Hu Yi smiled: "Then can we rest for a night?"
"Student Hu!"
Hu Yi quickly stood up and stood at attention: "Arrived"
Wang Liujin ordered: "Change your clothes and follow me to the enemy's Ministry of Industry to receive the mission."
A car drove out of Xinglong Town and headed straight north.
Nurse Keiko Takeda is sitting in the passenger seat of the car.
Early in the morning, she took a bus delivering supplies to the temporary base of the Imperial Army in Xinglong Town.
Go to the town correctional center to find the education director and tell him everything you know.
The head of education didn't seem to take what he said seriously.
However, hasn’t he been promoting the Greater Dongya Tongren Prosperity? How could he turn a blind eye to such a thing?
The car was bumpy all the way.
Standing on the roadside was a group of Imperial Army troops coming from the wilderness and seemingly preparing to cross the road.
Nurse Keiko subconsciously glanced at the iron tower-like Imperial Army.
However, she didn't know that "Gao Yidao" whom she had always loved and never forgotten was not Gao Yidao.
at this time.
The phone at the county hospital rang.
The person who answered the phone put down the phone and ran all the way to find the major to come and answer the phone.
The major picked up the phone and asked, "What's going on?"
"Takeda Keiko?"
"Uh thank you."
"Bastard!" Major Zuo hung up the phone with a loud bang and cursed.
