Near Hougou Village, Yang Yuanshan's temporary forward headquarters.
He has been here for most of the day, and correspondents are constantly coming and going to report the situation to him and convey his instructions to the various units.
When he heard that Han Yang's side was progressing smoothly and there were no unexpected incidents in other positions, he felt relieved and asked Zhang Xiaohe to bring him lunch.
I've been very nervous all morning, and now I'm really hungry.
After a while, when he got his lunch back, he opened it and found that the staple food was pancakes and the vegetables were a large pot of potato stew. He couldn't help but be very satisfied.
The satisfaction of eating meat is incomprehensible to those who have never been hungry.
After eating all the food, Yang Yuanshan took three minutes to show off the food. Only then did Yang Yuanshan have the mood to ask Zhang Xiaohe:
"Xiaohe, where did Zhao Li get the meat?"
They seized a lot of fresh pork and canned meat in Heyuan County, but apart from some of it being consumed in the past few days, a small part was left to supplement the nutrition of the more than 300 seriously injured people in the battle of Heyuan County.
Therefore, there was no meat in the secret service camp two or three days ago.
"It was Captain Xu of the reserve team who took the reserve team members to practice shooting in the woods and shot three wild boars and two hungry wolves."
Zhang Xiaohe explained.
"Good guy, this Xu Erfei is a talent!
He actually knows not to waste bullets!
Ok, Ok! "
Yang Yuanshan liked this kind of flexible-minded subordinates and immediately gave him a thumbs up.
I secretly thought about how to promote this kid after this battle.
At this time, a correspondent suddenly came running all the way to report:
"Battal Commander, Captain He sent me to report that an armored train of little devils is coming from west to east. It is expected to arrive at our blocking position in 20 minutes!"
"Okay, the little devil is finally here!"
Yang Yuanshan perked up and asked immediately:
"Have you seen how many infantrymen the little devil has come?"
The correspondent shook his head:
"The little devil's armored train has a total of 12 cars. There are cannons at the front and rear. The gun tubes are thicker than our cannons. There are also many heavy machine guns. You can't see how many people are inside!"
"Good guy, this is a 12-car train. It seems like this is the little devil's temporary armored train."
Yang Yuanshan muttered.
Before traveling through time, he had seen an introduction to this thing in the war history of our army.
He thought for a moment and then asked Zhou Xianpei next to him:
"Old Zhou, do you think we should give up as soon as we see fit, or should we eat the little devil's armored train and wait for another wave?"
I don't know how many little devils there are in the little devil's armored train. This is the point where Yang Yuanshan hesitates.
If there are only two or three hundred little devils inside, then if he goes to war in such a big way, isn't he just flirting with a blind man?
Zhou Xianpei understood what Yang Yuanshan meant. He thought about it and finally advised cautiously:
"Battal Commander, I suggest you give it up as soon as possible!
Not to mention whether we can easily eat the little devil's armored train now, assuming that we really can easily eat it, then the little devil will not know that we are powerful.
If they send a second wave of reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be at least a regiment. By then, we will still have no choice but to retreat in embarrassment. "
In fact, what Yang Yuanshan meant when asking Zhou Xianpei was that he already wanted to give up, but he was still unwilling to do so.
Now listening to Zhou Xianpei's words, he also understood that the other party's point of view was correct, and nodded immediately:
"You are right. Our current strength is still a bit weak."
…
After discussing with Zhou Xianpei, Yang Yuanshan immediately ordered:
"Go and order Han Yang to start closing the net in half an hour!"
"yes!"
The correspondent immediately rushed to the company's position.
Then Yang Yuanshan said to Zhou Xianpei:
"Lao Zhou, I estimate that Han Yang's side should be able to capture Qixia Town before dark. You should immediately go to the surrounding villages to mobilize the villagers and prepare to help us evacuate Qixia Town overnight!
I'm worried that once the little devils find out that Qixia Town is in our hands, they will send bombers to bomb it. "
"Okay. I'll go right away."
Since joining the secret service camp, Zhou Xianpei has been responsible for this kind of mobilization several times, and he is quite familiar with it.
"Zhang Xiaohe, order Xu Erfei to take his reserve team to Houhedong Village to stop the Japs from escaping south.
Tell him to block the intersection of Houhedong Village and not allow a little devil to escape! "
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianpei, who had not yet walked out of the headquarters, couldn't help but turned around and asked:
"Battal Commander, are your demands on them too high?
Are the people in this reserve team all recruits from the logistics company? "
"It's okay, I'll send my guard squad up too. They're all equipped with submachine guns and box cannons, so they have a firepower advantage!
And I believe Han Yang, he may not give the little devil a chance to escape! "
Of course, Yang Yuanshan knew that Xu Erfei's reserve team could not be counted on too much, but he had no other available troops now, so he could only rush to the shelves.
What's more, given the kid's tendency to like the whole army's jade pieces, it is unknown whether they will flee south.
So Yang Yuanshan decided to take a gamble.
Seeing what he said, Zhou Xianpei stopped talking and immediately took two guards to mobilize the villagers.
Yang Yuanshan then arranged for correspondents to inform Wei Dayong, Li Dahe and other parties, asking them to hold their positions and not make any mistakes.
After everything was arranged, Yang Yuanshan rushed to the Qingniu Mountain position with Zhang Xiaohe who hurried back.
He wanted to see the power of the little devil's armored train!
…
In a village near Shouxian County, the headquarters of the New Second Regiment.
Kong Jie is discussing things with Dou Guangjie.
Suddenly, a scout rushed in and reported:
"Regiment leader, political commissar, the kid from Shouxian County has really left the city and gone north!"
"How many people were dispatched?"
Kong Jie asked impatiently.
"The little devil from one squadron, the second devil from two companies!"
"Good guy, it seems that boy Yang Yuanshan has really stirred up a hornet's nest!
There are only two squadrons of Japs in total in Shouxian County, and one battalion of Japs, more than half of them have been dispatched directly now! "
Kong Jie sighed.
"Lao Kong, what are you going to do?"
Dou Guangjie was curious.
After he brought the infantry artillery and artillery shells from Hougou Village back to the regiment, he told Kong Jie about Yang Yuanshan's suggestion that they attack Shouxian County.
Of course Kong Jie was tempted to directly attack the county seat.
Old comrade Li Yunlong attacked the county town, and Kong Jie couldn't lag behind, right?
But he is even more aware of how weak his team is now.
Although the Shouxian Japs are weak in strength, almost half of his new second regiment are new soldiers!
Even with three Type 92 infantry cannons, they would not dare to attack Shouxian County!
Artillery is not something you can just bring and use, and you can shoot accurately once you use it. It requires years of training and high-intensity live ammunition shooting!
Obviously, the artillerymen of his new second regiment were still struggling to operate the artillery, so there was no hope of accurate shooting.
So in the end, Kong Jie rejected the suggestion of attacking the county seat, and instead sent many scouts to keep an eye on Shouxian County 24 hours a day, preparing to wait and see the situation.
At the same time, he also ordered the entire New Second Regiment to assemble and be ready to attack at any time.
Although we are not prepared to attack the county town, we can still attack the Japs' strongholds and gun towers.
If you are brave enough, you can try to remove the turrets and bunkers at the entrance of Shouxian County!
Now after hearing Dou Guangjie's question, he immediately smiled and said:
"I'm going to take the soldiers of the artillery company to do shooting training."
"Shooting training?"
Dou Guangjie was a little confused.
"Hey, our artillery shells are precious, so of course we can't shoot them blindly, so we have to use the little devil's turret as a target.
Lao Dou, look at the two main highways from Shouxian County to Shuiquan and Yuci. There are so many gun towers, what good targets!
How enjoyable would it be if we knocked him one by one? ! "
Kong Jie pointed to the small circles on a simple map on the wall, unable to suppress his inner joy.
"But Captain, what if we fight and the reinforcements from Shuiquan and Yuci come to support us?"
Dou Guangjie was a little uneasy.
"Let's dig out all the roads from Yuci and Shuiquan to Shouxian first, and then take the artillery to attack the artillery towers.
Unless the little devil can fly, he will never catch us. "
Kong Jie is confident.
"Captain, dig the road, it's not easy!"
"Then it's up to you, Lao Dou, to mobilize the comrades in the local army to work with us.
I estimate that two days will be enough to capture the seven or eight gun towers near Shouxian County.
As long as the road is cut off in four or five places, it will be enough to delay the little devil for two or three days! "
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Dou Guangjie nodded and agreed.
"Well, this Yang Yuanshan is going to do something big. Although we can't directly support him, we should play a role and reduce the pressure on him.
We took advantage of him, so we have to accept his favor! "
Kong Jie stared at Qixia Town on the map and couldn't help feeling very emotional.
He thought to himself: This guy is really just like Li Yunlong, a non-stop guy!
