Early the next morning, Yang Yuanshan suddenly jumped out of bed without anyone reminding him.
He was worried about today's battle, so his body's instinct made him wake up early.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was only half past six.
He immediately asked guard Zhang Xiaohe to get him breakfast - a bowl of sweet potato porridge and two face-sized white flour pancakes.
Xilihulu showed off and finished breakfast in a few minutes. Yang Yuanshan walked out of the camp headquarters and saw Zhao Li walking in with a group of well-equipped soldiers.
"Batalion Commander, I have prepared the reserve team you want.
This is Xu Erfei, a veteran who has joined our special agent camp for more than three months. I asked him to temporarily serve as the captain of this reserve team. "
"Okay! Zhao Li, go and do your work first.
Xu Erfei, right? Take your people to the entrance of the village for training, sharpen your guns before the battle, no matter how unhappy you are! "
"yes!
But battalion commander, can you send us some instructors?
Most of the comrades were either setting fires to cook or carrying trophies. Their combat skills were relatively weak. Some soldiers could not even use a heavy machine gun. "
Xu Erfei asked carefully.
Hearing this, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but look at him. This temporary reserve captain is a bit interesting!
He nodded and asked Zhang Xiaohe to select a few people from the security platoon assigned to him to serve as instructors for him.
After finishing these things, the morning light on the horizon has already emerged. Yang Yuanshan walked towards a mountainside on the west side of the village. There was a simple fortification there, which was the temporary forward headquarters he established.
Arriving at the temporary headquarters, Yang Yuanshan felt relieved when he saw that the map had been hung up and everything else was in place.
All is ready except for the opportunity!
After walking out of the headquarters, he picked up the telescope around his neck and looked at the quiet Qixia Town.
I saw that Qixia Town was still sleeping at this moment. Except for the little Japanese sentry at the entrance of the town who was still walking back and forth and standing guard, there was no movement.
He thought silently:
"Is it starting soon?"
A few minutes later, there was a sudden sound of artillery in the north of the town, and the originally quiet Qixia Town suddenly burst into flames as if a pot was exploding.
The feast prepared by the secret service camp for the little devils is officially on the table!
…
Time goes back ten minutes.
In Qixia Town, in a large mansion, a little devil wearing a shit-yellow military uniform and the rank of second lieutenant, led by a soldier, hurriedly walked into the yard and came to the main hall of the house.
It could be seen from his face that he was very unhappy.
After all, he was woken up early in the morning, so he had nowhere to vent his anger!
This person's name is Iwaki Taro and he is a squad leader.
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, I am here to report for my humble duty."
When Taro Iwaki saw a captain sitting in the main hall, he quickly saluted.
This person is Captain Sakai Hiroki, captain of the Japs Squadron in Qixia Town.
When Sakai Hiroki saw the other party saluting, he did not stand up. Instead, he raised his hand casually as a return salute, and then spoke slowly.
"Iwaki-kun, I hope you don't mind calling you here early in the morning."
"Your Excellency, squadron leader, you're welcome."
Even if Taro Iwaki minded, what could he do?
Even if you are not satisfied with the other party's arrogant attitude, what can you do?
Can't we just honestly say that we don't mind?
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death!
Sakai Hiroki didn't care whether the other party really didn't mind or pretended not to mind, and continued:
"Iwaki-kun, although your team belongs to the Second Squadron and is not under the jurisdiction of my Third Squadron, you previously led the team to evacuate from Xipan Town. Your Excellency, the Captain, sent a message ordering you to be temporarily under the control of my Third Squadron. What do you have? idea?"
It turns out that Taro Iwaki was the unlucky guy who was scared out of Xipan Town by Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment a few days ago.
Hearing that his superiors asked him to take control of the guy in front of him, Taro Iwaki felt a little unhappy, but he had no way to resist and could only nod his head honestly.
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, I have no objection to my humble position. Please give me your instructions, Your Excellency, Squadron Leader."
Second Lieutenant Taro Iwaki has a very good attitude.
"Yoshi! Very good!
Mr. Yancheng, Tubal Road is destroying our roads and railways everywhere now, causing great trouble to our locust army. I want your team to go to the south of the town, build a stronghold near Huangling Village, and be responsible for guarding Qixia Town. How is the safety of this section of Zhengtai Road? "
Sakai Hiroki was very satisfied with Taro Iwaki's attitude. He immediately expressed his thoughts, got up and walked to the map, pointing out the location of Huangling Village to Taro Iwaki.
He was originally a popular and popular person in the town, but now he was sent to build a stronghold. Of course, Iwaki Taro was a little unhappy.
But now that the town of Xipan where he was stationed was lost, and he was dependent on others, he could only bow his head.
He nodded quickly and said:
"Hi!
Don't worry, squadron leader, our third team will definitely complete the mission!
However, building a stronghold requires manpower and materials. How to solve these problems? "
"Steel bars and cement are already in our warehouse, which should be enough to build a small stronghold.
As for manpower, isn’t there a lot of people in Qixia Town?
I give you permission to capture those despicable Chinese people and use them to build strongholds!
No matter how many people are killed or injured, the stronghold must be built within five days! "
Sakai Hiroki said coldly.
It took five days to repair the stronghold, which was very stressful.
But Taro Iwaki didn't think there was anything wrong with what the other party said. The military situation was urgent and there was no room for delay.
He immediately nodded in agreement.
"Hi! I understand."
"Xinxi, then get ready and take action immediately after breakfast!
The intelligence sent by the brigade headquarters showed that a large force of Tuba Road appeared in northwestern Shanxi. They actually easily captured Heyuan County, and also captured 12 gun towers and three strongholds near Heyuan County. It was very abominable!
Now I have a hunch that those nasty rats may soon come to destroy the roads and railways we are responsible for protecting in Qixia Town! "
Sakai Hiroki briefly revealed the enemy situation nearby to Taro Iwaki.
"Nani?
Has Heyuan County been breached?
How can this be? "
Iwaki Taro was very surprised.
Sakai Hiroki was about to continue to explain the situation to him in detail, when suddenly both of them heard the sound of artillery shells exploding from the north of the town.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
"Nani?
Shelling?
Or the Type 92 infantry gun? Who ordered the firing?
idiot!
Didn't I order that this cannon must be hidden and not fired until there is an emergency? "
Sakai Hiroki shouted angrily.
He thought it was his men who fired the cannon without his permission.
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, I'm afraid this is not our cannon. Our cannon is deployed in the south of the town, and the sound of this cannon is coming from the north!"
Taro Iwaki reminded.
A few days ago, he withdrew into Qixia Town from the north. He saw that there was only a gun tower and a bunker at the entrance of the town. There were no infantry guns at all!
"Nani? North?
Could it be that Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment came to attack?
Baghya Road!
This person dares to go against our locust army, I will cut him into pieces! "
Sakai Hiroki's face was ferocious.
Taro Iwaki was a little speechless for this idiot.
I had no choice but to remind him in a low voice:
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, I heard that Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment Artillery Battalion is equipped with 12 Jin-made Type 13 75mm mountain guns. The sound of the gunfire now is obviously from our Type 92 Infantry Cannon."
"Baga! Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Sakai Hiroki yelled angrily.
Then he slapped Taro Iwaki on the face.
"Snapped!"
A large handprint suddenly appeared on Iwaki Taro's ugly face, which turned red.
"Sir...Squadron Commander...Your Excellency, I don't dare to do this for my...low position!"
Taro Iwaki was about to cry, but his eyes were full of anger, and he wanted to draw his sword and chop the guy in front of him.
His heart was roaring: Bastard! You're not my boss, why do you hit me? Is it a big deal to have a high military rank? You are from the third squadron, I am from the second squadron!
"Take your people immediately and go to the north of the town for support! We must not let the enemy enter the town!"
Sakai Hiroki slapped the opponent to vent his anger, his IQ returned to normal again, and he immediately ordered.
"Hi!"
Taro Iwaki turned around and ran away as if he had been pardoned.
When I stepped out of the door, I tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground like a dog.
Seeing Hiroki Sakai in the room, he almost laughed out loud, but then he cursed again:
"Trash! What a disgrace to the Locust Army!"
…
After sending away Iwaki Taro, Sakai Hiroki couldn't help but frown as he listened to the continuous explosions of artillery in the north of the town.
This group of enemies looks very strong. They obviously have two Type 92 infantry cannons, and there is no shortage of shells.
If it wasn't Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, who would it be?
Is it the Eighth Route Army?
But how could there be so much artillery fire on the Eighth Route?
Just as he was thinking about it, a messenger from outside the door rushed in and reported:
"Your Excellency, Captain, the main force of a regiment on Tubal Road in the north of the town is attacking us. Captain Maeda is asking for tactical guidance!"
"Nani? Tuba Road? Bagya Road!"
Sakai Hiroki's face was full of surprise.
He thought to himself: When did Tubal Road become so bold that he dared to attack the town?
Didn’t they mainly ambush our locust army’s transportation teams and lines of communication in the past?
Occasionally building a blockhouse is just like celebrating the New Year.
How dare you attack the town now? How unreasonable! You don’t take the warriors of your squadron seriously!
After thinking about it like this, he felt a ball of anger again in his heart - a regiment dared to attack a squadron of his own, how arrogant!
"Are you sure it's Tubal Road? What heavy weapons are the enemy equipped with?"
Sakai Hiroki stared at the messenger with burning eyes, seeming to judge whether he was lying or talking nonsense.
The messenger didn't know that he was being scrutinized, so he quickly replied:
"This group of people were wearing gray military uniforms and carrying red flags, and they were identified as Tubal Road.
There were about a thousand of them, equipped with two Type 92 infantry cannons, which seemed to have plenty of shells, and several Type 92 heavy machine guns. "
The messenger quickly answered.
After hearing this, Hiroki Sakai immediately ordered:
"吆西!
Order Maeda-kun to hold back and never let Tubal Road rush into the town. I have sent the Iwaki team to support them! They will arrive in ten minutes at most! "
"Hi!"
The messenger left in a hurry.
Hiroki Sakai immediately walked to the telegraph room and ordered the telegraph operator:
"Send a report to Captain Xiachuan that our Qixia Town is attacked by the main force of a main regiment on Tubal Road. The enemy is equipped with two Type 92 infantry cannons and several Type 92 heavy machine guns. The attack is very fierce."
