Zhang Dabiao left Yangshugou Village with the weapons and ammunition Yang Yuanshan gave him.
Yang Yuanshan also received the news from Zhou Xianpei, saying that they would arrive in one day.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Yuanshan simply sent a team of people to deliver 400 rounds of 70mm artillery shells to Ding Wei on bicycles.
This was the reward for exchanging 8 sharpshooters with Ding Wei in the previous game, so there was no need to waste any more time. After transporting them back to Qixia Town, let him send someone to transport them.
While the spy battalion was temporarily staying in Yangshugou Village, the news that they destroyed Shuiquan Coal Mine and easily evacuated spread to all parties.
The first to bear the brunt was the 37th Division of the Little Japanese.
Division commander Hirata Kento received a telegram from 225th Regiment Chief of Staff Nakao Soichi. He could not help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tubal Road was withdrawn and Shuiquan City was defended.
But he also saw a telegram saying that Tubal Road had severely damaged Shuiquan Coal Mine. Even if all efforts were made to repair it, it would take at least half a year to resume production, and he couldn't help but be very angry.
Especially after I heard that the four to five thousand miners were all rescued by Tubal Road, I was even more angry and itched my teeth.
Coal mines are a huge source of wealth for their locust army!
Now that it has been destroyed by Tubal Road, those big businessmen with amazing energy will inevitably ruin the reputation of their 37th Division at the base camp.
And in the past six months, those businessmen will definitely no longer respect themselves.
When he thought that the gold that was given to him on time every month would be cut off, he wanted to kill someone with a knife.
However, General Okamura now strictly ordered all their divisions to be on standby and ready to attack southward at any time, and he was unable to take part in destroying those abominable Tubal Road.
He had no choice but to call in the division chief of staff, Jingzhi Iheng, and ordered:
"Jing Hengjun, the Tuba Road attacking Shuiquan has withdrawn. Please help me draft a telegram and send it to General Okamura. By the way, I want to ask the general whether our 37th Division can launch an attack in advance.
I just want to defeat the enemy in person as soon as possible, return to Shuiquan, catch all those earth rats hiding in the mountains, and behead them! "
Iyoko Keishi felt that his boss was a little too arrogant for actually asking him to send such a telegram.
Can the superior's combat deployment be easily changed?
However, he then thought that the characteristic of the Locust Army is that subordinates do not listen to the orders of their superiors and act blindly, so he immediately nodded honestly and said:
"Hi!"
“In addition, Takeshi Tsumugi of the 225th Regiment is really useless, and his chief of staff, Soichi Nakao, is also cowardly and incompetent!
Please help me select a few candidates from the division who can serve as wing captain and wing chief of staff. After this battle is over, I will let these two losers go to the reserves! "
If Nakao Satoshi heard what he said, he would probably faint in the toilet.
I worked so hard and only wanted to defend Shuiquan City, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would be criticized as "cowardly and incompetent". I was really wronging my grandma!
…
The telegram from the 37th Division was quickly sent to the headquarters of the dispatched army in Beijing and the headquarters of the First Army in Jinyang.
Okamura Jining had previously received news that except for one bomber of the Fifth Flying Group of the Air Force that was seriously injured and flew to Jinyang for an emergency landing, all other bombers were wiped out.
Now I received a telegram from the 37th Division and learned that Tubal Road still destroyed the coal mine and evacuated easily, I couldn't help but frown.
The coal from Shuiquan Coal Mine was used to supply the Liaodong Arsenal. Now that it is gone, the military production of the Locust Army will be greatly affected.
At that time, few people in the base camp will take the opportunity to criticize themselves.
As the new commander of the dispatch army, he felt a little pressure on his shoulders.
He immediately ordered the Special High School Division to send people to investigate the source of the anti-aircraft guns on Tubal Road, while secretly thinking that Tubal Road must be completely eradicated as soon as possible.
Otherwise, these earth rats will keep causing trouble and seriously threaten the supply line of the locust army's southward attack.
However, the top priority right now is the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain.
He thought that in two months at most, he would be able to deal with Wei Junru in Zhongtiao Mountain.
When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will return to the north and sweep the Tubal Road in Jin and northern Hebei like a net. When the time comes, he will make it impossible for Tubal Road to escape!
After thinking about it, he immediately called the combat staff and ordered them to start formulating a mopping up plan.
…
Jinyang City.
In the First Army Headquarters, Junyuki Hanaya is now in charge here.
He felt the joy of having power in his hands.
Of course, it would be better if Tubalu didn't come to cause trouble.
It's a pity that he only dreams about this kind of thing.
After receiving a report from Kento Hirata of the 37th Division, he learned that the crisis in Shuiquan had been resolved. He quickly sent a report to Major General Taro Yamada of the third independent mixed brigade in Yuci, ordering the other party to give up the rescue of Shuiquan.
This person was carefully selected by him to succeed Kazuki Yamamoto as the commander of the third brigade.
Originally, he issued an emergency order, asking the other party to come out from Yuci City to rescue Shuiquan.
After all, the location of the water spring is too important.
He would rather Yuci be captured by Tubal Road than keep Shuiquan.
After all, if Yuci is broken, he can still mobilize the remaining troops of Jinyang City to recapture it, but once Shuiquan is broken, the northwestern Shanxi will no longer be owned by the Locust Army.
Fortunately, things did not develop in the worst direction.
But now, Hanatani Junyuki also felt the difficulty of the situation. When he thought about the serious shortage of garrison troops in the cities of Jin, he thought about it again and again and finally issued an order:
"Order the gendarmerie and the Locust Alliance Army in all regions to fully expand their strength, make full use of existing weapons, and at least double their size!"
Although he knew that such an expanded army would not have combat effectiveness, he did not care about so many. Anyway, as long as they defended the city and did not require them to fight in the field, if they could defend the cities before the main force of the locust army in southern Shanxi returned to the division, it would be a victory.
If Yang Yuanshan knew his order, he would probably laugh out loud with joy. After all, wasn't this just a reward for Yang Yuanshan?
The system doesn't care whether the little devils and second devils they fight have combat effectiveness. Anyway, every time one is eliminated, you will get a reward.
If Hanagu Junzhi really wants to create millions of Japanese devils, then Yang Yuanshan will really smile and eliminate these people easily. The weapons rewarded by the system should be enough to defeat Lao Chang.
…
In addition to Hanatani Junyuki, Shinozuka Kazuo, who has been hiding in the hospital even though he has long since recovered, also received the news.
Today, only Yamamoto Kazuki, his loyal dog, is still with him.
So he immediately shared the news with Kazuki Yamamoto.
"Yamamoto-kun, Tubal Road did not break through Shuiquan. What do you think?"
Yamamoto Kazushi was teamed up by Yang Yuanshan and Kong Jie. After being beaten to a pulp in Changguang Village, he fled back to Yuci City. In the end, he gathered the defeated troops and actually allowed him to take back more than 30 special agents.
He handed over the position of commander of the Third Brigade to the arrogant Major General Yamada Taro, and he returned to Jinyang City with his people.
In addition to training every day, he also comes to the hospital to accompany Shinozuka Kazuo, which can be said to be very loyal.
Since Shinozuka Kazuo stopped doing things, he instantly felt that his energy had returned.
At this moment, his eyes were looking at Yamamoto Kazuki with burning eyes.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I feel that the other party may not really be planning to attack Shuiquan City.
I don’t know about the other units of the 386th Brigade, but I am very impressed by the Independent Regiment. This is a unit that will never give up until it achieves its goal. If they really want to capture Shuiquan, I think with Shuiquan’s current weak army, they will not be able to give up. Maybe it can be defended! "
After Yamamoto Kazuki was defeated in Changguang Village, he decisively sent two Japanese soldiers to find out the opponents that day. Naturally, he knew that it was the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment's special agent battalion that defeated one of his brigade.
Thinking of the ferocious offensive and skillful special operations tactics of the secret service camp, he felt a little frightened.
"Yo Xi, this makes sense.
This independent regiment is indeed a serious concern of our First Army!
Judging from their past records, it seems that they do have the strength to break Shuiquan. "
Shinozuka Kazuo nodded.
Then he said:
"I thought about the opponent's recent attacks, and found an interesting thing - the opponent seems to be consciously weakening my Shuiquan force. It seems that it's not that they don't want to fight Shuiquan, they just don't want to fight now!
I have a hunch that one day, sooner or later, they will launch a real attack on Shuiquan, thus overturning the situation in the entire northwestern Shanxi region! "
"Good morning, Commander!"
Yamamoto Kazuki quickly flattered him.
Shinozuka Kazuo smiled slightly, then said with a solemn expression:
"Yamamoto-kun, I want you to help me eliminate this independent group, are you confident?
I hope that the heads of the regiment commander Li Yunlong and his battalion commanders can be hanged on Jinyang City!
Especially that hateful Yang Yuanshan! "
"Your Excellency, Commander, judging from the experience of fighting against the independent regiments, they are well-equipped and have powerful firepower. To defeat them head-on, at least a full regiment of troops is needed. To annihilate them all, at least a brigade is needed! "
Yamamoto Kazuki answered seriously.
When Shinozuka Kazuo heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed into the character "川".
He still likes the way Yamamoto Kazuki was unruly and clamoring that his special agent team could easily take down the head of the deputy general manager of Tubal Road!
"Yamamoto-kun, this is not like you!"
“Your Excellency Commander, your humble position only respects the facts.
This independent group is completely different from the Tuba Road we faced before. They are equally brave, but their equipment is more than ten times better. They even have more bullets and artillery shells than our Locust Army. It is simply incomprehensible! "
The arrogant Yamamoto Kazuki finally became more honest after several battles with the independent group.
As expected, respect is all earned!
"Yoshi, Yamamoto-kun, you are already on the right path to becoming an excellent general."
Shinozuka Kazuo is good as a teacher again.
"Thank you very much for the compliment, Commander.
I have already understood that the military academy and the battlefield are completely different.
However, I feel that if you want to eliminate the independent regiment, special operations is still the best option. "
After repeated setbacks, Yamamoto Kazuki is now much gloomier.
But in his heart, his persistence in special operations and his hatred for the independent regiment went even deeper into his bones.
"What do you want to do, Yamamoto-kun?"
"I hope your Excellency, Commander, will allow me to mobilize people from the Special High School to investigate the location of the independent regiment's headquarters, then bribe important personnel in the independent regiment, find their weaknesses, use a special agent team to raid their regiment headquarters, and capture their leader in one fell swoop. .
When the time comes, your Excellency, the Commander, will mobilize another regiment of troops to raid, which should be enough to annihilate this hateful independent regiment! "
"Okay! I will write a warrant to ask the people in the special high school to cooperate with you.
Yamamoto-kun, we don’t have much time for each other, you should understand! "
Shinozuka Kazuo hinted.
Yamamoto Kazuki couldn't help but look solemn when he heard this.
This First Army Headquarters is not normal, even a fool can see it.
Of course he can.
Facing the favor of his benefactor, he quickly bowed and bowed:
"Hey! I will live up to the commander's trust!"
…
In addition to the little devil who got the news, Yan Laozhao from the Second War Zone Commander's Department also got the news.
Hearing that Tubal Road failed to capture Shuiquan, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said to his subordinates:
“As expected, these Eighth Route Army can only do small damage, but can’t gain much publicity.
Fighting behind enemy lines is just a joke, just listen to it! "
Yang Xingru and others couldn't help but frown when they heard this.
They are all famous generals, and of course they know that the importance of harassing the enemy's food routes is not much weaker than confronting them head-on.
However, no one would touch Yan Laocha’s brow at this time. Everyone nodded and said with a smile:
"Sir Yan is right.
To regain the land of Jin, we still have to rely on our Jinsui Army!
First of all, Tubalu doesn't have the ability, and secondly, he doesn't have the will.
You see, this intelligence shows that Tubal Road did not attack Shuiquan City at all. They were bombed by Japs bombers and then withdrew in despair. "
“Hmph, Tubal Road is full of outsiders, how can they care about this land and water?
This land of Jin is the hometown of the Emen Jin people. Only the Emen Jin people will cherish it! "
Yan Laojie sneered.
Hearing this, everyone present nodded.
Yang Xingru, Xu Cichen, Wang Jingguo, and Sun Cuiya, the backbone of Yan Laoyan, are all from Jin!
…
Sipan Town.
Chu Yunfei also received the telegram sent to him by Yang Xingru and learned that the Independent Regiment had not captured Shuiquan.
He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and the other party said:
“Brother Ligong, it seems we can’t move here for the time being.
The Eighth Route Army did not capture Shuiquan, so the situation in northwest Shanxi will remain chaotic for some time. This is the last opportunity for our 358th Regiment to develop.
From now on, the entire regiment must strengthen training and must be determined to train hard for three months to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the entire regiment! "
Fang Ligong nodded and said:
"Tuan Zuo, if you strengthen your training, there won't be any problem.
However, once the training intensity becomes more intense, the food standards of the soldiers will have to be improved.
How to solve this? "
"It's definitely not possible to reach out to Commander Yang. We can only rely on suppressing bandits."
Chu Yunfei frowned.
He had reached out to Yang Xingru too many times before, and now he was embarrassed.
"Suppressing bandits? How do you make money by suppressing bandits?"
Fang Ligong was puzzled.
"Send someone to check out the wealthy households within a 50-mile radius of Xipan Town and go door-to-door to collect bandit suppression taxes!
I, the 358th Regiment, maintained peace in Xipan Town and wiped out all the bandits. The wealthy households contributed some blood to provide extra meals for the soldiers. Is this reasonable? "
Chu Yunfei said matter-of-factly.
When Fang Ligong heard this, he was speechless and cursed: Tuanzuo, you are indeed from Jin!
He is born to do business, and the abacus beads are so loud!
But he quickly said:
"What you say makes sense!
Very reasonable!
I'll send someone right away! "
"Well, you have to remind me later that the people sent to collect taxes are not allowed to disturb ordinary people!
Now the independent group is watching closely. If anyone causes trouble for me, I will kill him! "
"Don't worry, everyone, I will explain everything.
As long as Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui are not sent, no one else will dare to act recklessly. "
Fang Ligong gave Qian Bojun eye drops whenever he had the chance.
He secretly scolded Qian Bojun for being such a bitch. He was so lucky. He was beaten so hard by Chu Yunfei this time, but he didn't even get beaten to death!
These days, this guy has actually gotten better visibly. What a disaster!
"Huh, Qian Bojun?
I will keep an eye on this kid. If he honestly fights for me, I will treat him as a brother.
If he is dishonest, I, Chu Yunfei, will not be merciful. "
Chu Yunfei had a sneer on his face.
