"General, the headquarters sent a telegram asking us about the progress of the war."
At night, Pinggu Daxiong was resting, and the adjutant came over with a newly arrived telegram.
In front of me, it was late at night, and the new group on Tubal Road stopped to rest.
Pinggu Daxiong's troops were so exhausted that he was powerless even if he wanted to outflank them at night.
As a result, Pinggu Daxiong's troops simply stopped to rest.
The troops marched continuously, suffered defeats, and did not get a good rest.
You must seize the time to restore your physical strength and energy, and then catch up with the new group in one go, so that you can have a chance to avenge your shame.
Hiratani Daxiong received the telegram. This was a routine communication with Yoshio Shinozuka every day. Hiratani Daxiong wanted to report the team's movements or the progress of the war situation to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Tell it like it is." Pinggu Daxiong didn't dare to conceal such a big military situation, although he knew that reporting the failure would make the headquarters extremely angry.
"Hai."
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
"General, Hiratani Otani has called back." Moriyama Otani looked unhappy and handed Shinozuka Yoshio the newly arrived telegram.
"What's the matter? Did Hiratani Otani suffer a defeat, or did he get off to a bad start?" Shinozuka Yoshio saw that Moriyama Otani looked bad and asked angrily.
If the 30,000-strong army can suffer defeat, there will be no place for the old face of the First Army.
"You, you, read it yourself." Moriyama Otani put the telegram in Shinozuka Yoshio's hand.
Yoshio Shinozuka looked down.
boom!
Yoshio Shinozuka slapped the telegram on the table: "Baga, an army of 30,000 people can still defeat the battle. This is simply a stupid pig-like command!"
When Moriyama Otani saw this, he wanted to say in his heart: If it hadn't been for your urging, General, Pinggu Daxiong's side probably wouldn't have been so easily ambushed.
Moriyama Otani could only advise: "General, there is a saying in China that victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs. Although Pingu Daxiong's side lost the first battle, they at least kept track of the new regiment. As long as Pingu Daxiong's soldiers rested, You can bite the new group to death.”
"You call Hiraya Daxiong back and tell him that if he fails again, he will never come back to see me!" Shinozuka Yoshio said.
"Hayi!"
…
"General, the headquarters has called back." The adjutant handed the newly translated telegram to Pinggu Daxiong.
After reading this, Pinggu Daxiong had a determined expression on his face: "Go down and seize the time to rest. Early tomorrow morning, you must catch up with the Eighth Route New Group and eliminate them!"
"Hayi!"
…
new group
Li Yunlong and the brigade commander gathered around the fire to warm themselves up. Although it was already deep, neither of them could fall asleep.
Tonight, it depends on whether Zhou Weiguo can destroy Pinggu Big Bear's food and grass supplies in one fell swoop.
"Brigadier, do you have anything else to say to me?" Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander.
"Originally, I didn't plan to tell you so soon." In order to ease his mood, the brigade commander said.
Although, he trusts Zhou Weiguo very much and has great confidence in Zhou Weiguo's special team.
But there are no absolutes on the battlefield, and any accident may still happen.
This is also the first battle for the new regiment of the 386th Brigade to form a special operations team. If this first battle cannot be successful, you can imagine the pressure on the brigade commander's heart.
"Brigade Commander, are you worried about Xiao Zhou and the others?" Li Yunlong said, "Brigadier Commander, don't worry. Although it is the first time for Xiao Zhou's special team to act, there will definitely be no problem. Those team members, they I can even speak the language of the Japanese, so if I sneak in, it won’t be a big problem.”
"When I came back from the headquarters, the head of the headquarters gave you Li Yunlong some autonomy." said the brigade commander.
"What, brigade commander, what did you say, the head of the headquarters gave me autonomy?" When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately beamed, "Brigadier, are you kidding?"
"Li Yunlong, please be more serious. Looking at your playful smile, I know I can't let go of your kid's reins!" The brigade commander said solemnly, "I promised the deputy commander that we can't let the northwestern Shanxi be in chaos. .”
"Brigadier, look at you, I'm in a good mood, can't I even smile?" Li Yunlong smiled even happier.
Originally, our plan was to rob the Japanese armaments warehouse after killing the 30,000 Japanese puppet troops, and then profit from the defense areas of the four Japanese brigades.
Now that the deputy commander-in-chief has given us the autonomy, we can think about this deal on a bigger scale.
For example, the Japanese also opened a mine in northwestern Shanxi.
"Li Yunlong, it's the Chinese New Year, you kid can't do anything random!" The brigade commander dragged Li Yunlong, "As soon as you stick your butt out, I'll know what shit you're going to do! I can tell you, any military action your kid has will be You must report to me in advance.”
"Brigadier, you are by my side now. I am sure that I will tell you any thoughts I have." Li Yunlong said seriously.
The brigade commander didn't talk nonsense to Li Yunlong. He spread out the map and looked at Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong, don't pretend to be stupid with me. Just go ahead."
"Brigadier, this is what I think. After killing these 30,000 Japanese traitors, we will first rob the arms warehouse here, and then loot the oil and water in the defense areas of the four Japanese brigades." Li Yunlong planned for the brigade commander on the map.
"Well, yes, you can have this." The brigade commander looked at it carefully and was very satisfied.
This is in line with the characteristics of Li Yunlong, who can cook as much rice as the pot he has.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it’s time to buy more New Year’s goods.
"Brigadier, these are actually only small gains." Li Yunlong looked like he was encouraging the brigade commander, "Actually, we can do something big again?"
Another big one?
When the brigade commander heard this, his brows immediately jumped.
He knew that this boy Li Yunlong was a master who was afraid of chaos in the world.
Looking at it like this, it seems that he really wants to mess up northwest Shanxi.
"What, you kid, don't talk nonsense to me and say that you want to lead the troops to attack Taiyuan." The brigade commander glared at Li Yunlong.
"Where, where, brigade commander, I still know how many pounds I have. Taiyuan is so strong, how could I lead my brothers to die." Li Yunlong shook his head quickly.
"Then what the hell are you going to do?" asked the brigade commander.
"Brigadier, what do you think these two locations are?" Li Yunlong pointed out to the brigade commander.
"These are the mines opened by the Japs in northwestern Shanxi. One is a copper mine, and the other is..." The brigade commander didn't finish his words, his eyes widened: "Li Yunlong, you want to rob the Japs' mines! "
"Yes, brigade commander, I not only want to seize back the mines, but also the mining machinery. From now on we can mine the mines ourselves!" Li Yunlong said in a very arrogant voice, "Why can he mine on our land? We can only watch helplessly, we also want to mine!"
"Stop talking, let me think, let me think." The brigade commander instantly became extremely excited.
Mines are the backbone of a country’s industrial base.
If we can seize the mines and machines and copy the technology, we will have a supply of raw materials for the arsenal's production in the future.
However, the defensive strength of these two mines is not weak.
If we have to fight, it will be a tough battle!
The brigade commander had a background in intelligence. He began to recall the garrison information about the two mines in his mind, and then weighed whether it was possible for the new regiment to capture them.
Li Yunlong did not bother the brigade commander. Li Yunlong knew that the brigade commander was already tempted.
Since the leaders are tempted, we have nothing to worry about.
Regardless of whether there will be chaos in northwestern Shanxi by then, our new group has secured this mine anyway!
"Li Yunlong, you really gave me a fucking problem." After a long while, the brigade commander finished his reflection and scolded Li Yunlong.
According to the information in his mind, the probability of the new group taking down these two mines is indeed not small.
But that information was already from two months ago.
To get the idea of these two mines, we have to send people to investigate again.
"Brigadier, if you find it difficult, you can leave it to me." Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander, "If something happens, I, Li Yunlong, will take care of it. It has nothing to do with you, brigade commander!"
"Li Yunlong, what are you talking about? When did I let my subordinates take the blame for me?" the brigade commander said solemnly, "These two mines are extremely important raw materials for the little devils to support their defense. The strength is not weak..."
"Da Biao." Li Yunlong called Zhang Da Biao directly.
"Captain, what are your orders?" Zhang Dabiao ran over and saluted.
"Send the cavalry communications corps back to the regiment headquarters and tell Lao Zhong to inquire about the situation of these two mines." Li Yunlong pointed out the locations of the two mines to Zhang Dabiao on the map.
"Yes, leader." Zhang Dabiao responded and made arrangements.
"Li Yunlong, I'm warning you. If you really want to attack these two mines, you must tell me any thoughts in your mind. You are not allowed to act privately!" the brigade commander warned. He had a feeling that this was definitely happening in northwest Shanxi. It's going to be chaos.
Stealing the enemy's mines is a big deal.
By then, the movement will become louder, and the national army will have to get involved if it doesn't cause trouble.
After all, besides these two mines, there are other mines in northwestern Shanxi.
The Eighth Route Army took advantage of the Chinese New Year to make great contributions. If the national army did not make contributions, it would be embarrassing.
"Brigadier, don't worry, as long as you are here, I will definitely not mess around!" Li Yunlong said seriously.
"Pull me down." The brigade commander glared at Li Yunlong, "Li Yunlong, tell me honestly, apart from robbing these two mines, do you have no other plans in mind?"
"No more, brigade commander. Our new regiment only has a few thousand people now. We can rob two more mines, which is already the limit. Unless, brigade commander, you transfer troops from the brigade headquarters again..." Li Yunlong didn't say anything. Finished.
The brigade commander scolded: "You Li Yunlong, I know that you haven't cleared up your thoughts. Tell me, what else do you want to do!"
"I don't want to do anything. I don't want to do anything. I only have a few thousand people. If there are no more people, I can't do anything." Li Yunlong shook his head and said.
"What if I recruit thousands more people for you?" The brigade commander dragged Li Yunlong.
"If we can mobilize a few thousand more people, brigade commander, look here." Li Yunlong pointed to another location on the map.
The brigade commander looked down and his eyes widened: "This is the arsenal of the Jinsui Army. Do you want to take advantage of the chaos to rob the arsenal of the Jinsui Army?"
In the past, when the Japanese army invaded Taiyuan, the Jinsui Army almost handed over the Taiyuan Arsenal to the Japanese army.
But before the Japanese army occupied the Taiyuan Arsenal, the Jinsui Army transported some machines in advance.
The transported machines formed a small arsenal for the Jinsui Army.
Of course, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
"Brigade commander, you see what you said, no matter how ignorant I, Li Yunlong, am, I will never make the mistake of robbing a friendly arsenal." Li Yunlong said seriously.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The brigade commander said solemnly, cursing in his heart, if I hadn't suppressed you before, you would have overtaken the friendly forces by now, and now you set up a hammer arch in front of me!
"Haha, nothing can be hidden from the brigade commander's discernment." Lao Li chuckled and said, "I really didn't think of robbing the arsenal of friendly forces, but if there is chaos in northwest Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely send troops everywhere. To put out the fire, if the Japanese reinforcements are not allowed, they will occupy the arsenal of the Jinsui Army. If we take the arsenal back from the Japanese, it will not be considered as robbing friendly forces, don’t you think so, brigade commander?"
The brigade commander's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.
It turns out that this kid Li Yunlong is going round the corner to plot the arsenal of the Jinsui Army. It's so bad that it's so bad that it's smoking.
"Why did the Japanese make trouble and occupy the arsenal of the Jinsui Army?" the brigade commander asked this key question.
"Brigadier, I don't know this either. All I can say is that on the battlefield, anything can happen." Li Yunlong said nonsense seriously.
"Li Yunlong, I can tell you, you can't betray friendly troops." The 30,000 Japanese traitors have not been killed yet, and the brigade commander is not in a hurry. We will see what Li Yunlong will do later.
"Definitely, definitely not." Li Yunlong said.
"Li Yunlong, if I can apply for more troops from the division headquarters, do you have any other plans?" The brigade commander grabbed Li Yunlong again and asked expectantly.
"Brigadier Commander, what are you doing? Are you trying to mess up the northwest of Shanxi?" Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander seriously, "You have promised in front of the head of the headquarters that you will not mess up the northwest of Shanxi. You have to pay attention to yourself. What you said at the headquarters!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" The brigade commander interrupted Li Yunlong, "If I apply for reinforcements from the division headquarters again, what else can you do?"
"Brigadier Commander, don't instigate me, Old Li, to make mistakes. We can't let the northwestern part of Shanxi become chaotic." Li Yunlong grabbed the brigade commander's hand, "Brigadier Commander, if the headquarters investigates..."
"Say!" the brigade commander interrupted Li Yunlong.
"Brigadier Commander, you yourself are going to cause chaos in northwest Shanxi. When the head of the headquarters comes to hold you accountable, don't blame me."
…
While Li Yunlong and the brigade commander were "imagining the future," Zhou Weiguo was already preparing to take action.
"Everyone, our special operations team has been established for more than five months, and the eyes of the whole regiment are staring at us at the moment. If we can't complete the task, and the people in the regiment come back and ridicule us as baby bumps, I don't think I need to say it, you yourself You can all feel how embarrassed it is." Zhou Weiguo said.
"Captain, just give the order and make sure the mission is completed!"
"Those who laugh at us as baby bumps, they will definitely shut up this time!"
"Facts speak louder than words!"
…
Sun Desheng, Huzi and others all roared.
"Look at the map." Zhou Weiguo spread out the map. "We had successfully infiltrated into the enemy's logistics and found out the location of the enemy's supplies. Our mission this time is to Destroying all the enemy's food and fuel will not only prevent them from eating, but also prevent them from even being roasted..."
"Captain, we have all remembered it." Sun Desheng Huzi and others each received their tasks.
Zhou Weiguo said decisively: "Act."
Under the cover of darkness, Zhou Weiguo and others, who put on Japanese military uniforms, took Japanese weapons, pretended to be stragglers, and approached Pinggu Daxiong's station.
Because the Pinggu Big Bear army was very tired, the troops took the time to catch up with the new regiment during the day, which resulted in some soldiers falling behind during the day. Zhou Weiguo and others used this reason for the first time to sneak into the enemy's logistics to inquire about information, and it went very smoothly.
The reason why Zhou Weiguo and others did not take action the first time was because the enemy's supplies were still slowly concentrating and were in a scattered state, making it difficult to take action.
Now, the team is ready and sets out again.
Since they had to recuperate their energy as much as possible tonight, the Japanese soldiers basically chose to sleep, and only the Imperial Alliance Army was on guard.
Of course, the Imperial Army was also very tired, and the people on guard were all very sleepy.
Zhou Weiguo's team walked up to the sentry, and the sentry discovered that a straggler of the imperial soldiers had returned, and quickly cheered up and saluted: "Taijun."
Zhou Weiguo's team ignored the sentry at all and walked past the sentry.
The sentry felt lucky when he saw that the straggler imperial soldiers ignored him.
Fortunately, I didn't sleep to death, otherwise I would have been beaten.
Zhou Weiguo led his team deep into the defense line of the Imperial Association Army. Everywhere they went, the Imperial Army members quickly cheered up and saluted, and no one dared to stop them.
Zhou Weiguo and others arrived at the logistics side smoothly as if they were in no-man's land.
The logistics side is also looked after by the Imperial Alliance Army. Since this is the hinterland of the garrison and safety is guaranteed, all the Imperial Army soldiers in the logistics area sleep like dead pigs.
Taking advantage of the black cover, Zhou Weiguo's team followed the original plan, leaving one team on guard and sentry, and the other three teams quickly sneaked into the place where the food and grass were placed according to the original plan.
The sleeping Imperial Army soldiers put them into an eternal slumber. The special operations team members poured oil on the food and baggage and prepared devices for delayed explosion and ignition.
Everything went very smoothly, without any glitches.
"Let's go." Zhou Weiguo counted the number of people and everyone returned to the team.
Then, this special force once again pretended to be Japanese soldiers and swaggered out of the Imperial Alliance Army's camp.
The Imperial Alliance Army was a little strange. Aren't all the Imperial Army soldiers sleeping? There were still dozens of people coming out.
"Taijun, what are you..." An officer of the Royal Association Army wanted to ask something.
"Baga!" Zhou Weiguo cursed, and then explained in Japanese that they were a patrol team, and if anyone dozed off, military law would be dealt with.
The translators in the Imperial Alliance Army quickly translated Zhou Weiguo's words, and no one in the Imperial Alliance Army dared to stop or question Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo led them out of the Imperial Alliance Army's camp very smoothly.
Zhou Weiguo and others took advantage of the cover of darkness and quickly escaped.
About half an hour later.
Boom.
There was an explosion from where the food and supplies were placed.
Although the explosion was not loud, it quickly triggered a huge fire, lighting up the night sky.
