The battlefield information is not transmitted in a timely manner and there are no better investigation methods, so it is easy for the commander to misjudge.
Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong both thought that the Japanese plane had gone to Dagu Town, but they never expected that even Zhangzhuang had fallen into Xie Tian's hands.
Chu Yunfei paced back and forth in the war room, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
Fang Ligong said carefully: "Brother Yunfei, I'm afraid this round of revenge by the Japanese will not be easy. At this time, we should stay quiet and not move."
Chu Yunfei nodded: "We need to observe again, but we must not sit still and wait for death. Regardless of whether Xie Baoqing is messing with the Japanese or not, we still need to help in this place. Brother Ligong, pass my order and the whole group enters We are in a state of combat readiness to prevent the Japanese reinforcements from Taiyuan from passing through our defense area."
Fang Ligong breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Yunfei's decision was quite satisfactory and he could explain it to both superiors and subordinates.
If you take the initiative to attack, it will be a different situation. If you win, it will be easy to say, but if you lose, you will be punished.
Fang Ligong went down to make arrangements. Chu Yunfei stood in front of the sand table and looked at it for a while. He took out a small yellow flag from the flag box and inserted it at the location of Dagu Town.
He finally began to look squarely at Xie Baoqing's team.
However, he estimated that this little flag would not be planted in Dagu Town for too long. Perhaps this tiny flag would be removed after dawn.
"Commander, go and tell the reconnaissance company to send two people to Dagu Town to investigate."
Being able to kill a Japanese regiment and end the battle within a few hours, this information really shocked Chu Yunfei.
Even his 358th regiment was not sure of defeating a Japanese regiment, but Xie Baoqing could?
In fact, Chu Yunfei knew in his heart that it was not that he was unsure of defeating a Japanese alliance, but that it was absolutely impossible to defeat a Japanese alliance in a head-on confrontation.
There was a huge gap in the quality of the soldiers, weapons and equipment, and the Japs could also call for air support when fighting in a united army, which Chu Yunfei couldn't resist.
Such a large-scale battle must have strong support from friendly forces. Encircling the points and calling for reinforcements is just like Li Yunlong's attack on Ping'an County. In that battle, in addition to Li Yunlong's independent regiment who was the main attacker, Ding Wei's new group Regiment, Kong Jie's New Second Regiment, and his 358th Regiment all participated in the battle. The battle lasted for three days and three nights.
The Japanese garrison in Ping'an County was nothing more than a regiment.
Xie Baoqing could defeat an entire Japanese regiment with just the few soldiers and horses in his hands?
Why did Chu Yunfei feel like he was in a dream?
Walking to his desk, Chu Yunfei dug out the letter written by Xie Baoqing from the drawer and read it from beginning to end, with a smile on his lips.
This bandit is so damn shameless. He obviously robbed two of my battalions of equipment, but he still pretended to borrow it from me temporarily for the purpose of resisting Japan and saving the country. Wasn't he afraid that I would send troops to fight him?
However, the information he provided was genuine, and the Japanese Kwantung Army was indeed here.
Thanks to this information, the strength and equipment of the 358th Regiment have been replenished. Its current strength is slightly stronger than before Xie Baoqing cleverly captured the two battalions. A batch of American equipment was also replenished, which made Chu Yunfei somewhat confident. proud.
A member of the Huangpu Clan can be considered a protégé of the Emperor, and he is popular wherever he goes. Even Commander Yan of the World War II area, who is known for being stingy, is very fond of him. His regiment's deployment almost exceeds that of a division of the Eighth Route Army.
They both belong to the Second War Zone, so I don't know if the Eighth Route Army will be jealous.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night. Li Yunlong led the guard squad to rush to Dagu Town all night long. Four soldiers from the reconnaissance company of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army were also rushing to Dagu Town, but they did not know that Dagu Town was now The building was almost deserted, with only one platoon of left-behind troops and more than thirty wounded soldiers.
Dagu Town is now shrouded in an atmosphere of sadness, their homes have been destroyed, and homeless people have gathered in Gushan Temple.
In the square in front of Gushan Temple, a carpenter and a few helpers lit torches and worked all night to build a coffin. No one wanted to talk.
Many of the seventeen corpses sent back from Zhangzhuang were familiar faces to them.
These soldiers once helped them dig tunnels, helped them carry water, and talked and laughed with them, huddled against the wall to bask in the sun, smoke dry cigarettes, and brag.
Now they have turned into cold corpses.
The wood for the coffin was provided by the monks of Gushan Temple. Master Pu Su stood with the monks and fellow villagers on the steps of the temple gate for a long time, crying.
The young monk Xuwu came back from the seventeen warriors, faced Master Pu Su on the steps and made a Buddha's hand, and said firmly: "Master, this disciple wants to return to secular life, and go with them to kill the Japanese and avenge them."
Master Pu Su looked straight into nothingness for a moment and sighed softly: "The Buddha is destined to save those who are destined to be saved. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? You have no destiny to be with the Buddha, so go ahead."
Master Pu Su and several monks returned to the temple, but two monks who were a few years older than Xianwu stayed behind. They smiled bitterly: "We have no connection with Buddha either, so let's go together."
Even monks are picking up guns, and many villagers in Dagu Town who have lost their homes have come forward.
Seeing that Lao Cui didn't move, Li Chunxiang kicked Lao Cui out of the crowd, stared and said, "Even Brother Lao Wang has come forward, and you still want to stay at home?"
Lao Cui looked at Li Chunxiang with a sad face: "I'm not worried about you."
Li Chunxiang glared and cursed: "Why don't you worry? You are the only one who can untie my belt. Xiangmanlou is gone. What are you doing at home? If you don't dare to hold a gun, just use a frying spoon to cook for the soldiers." I am waiting for you to come back at home. If you die, I will be a widow for you."
In this sad atmosphere, the people of Dagu Town couldn't help laughing.
Everyone knows Li Chunxiang's shrewdness. Since she said she would be a widow for Lao Cui, she will definitely do it, but her words are a bit unlucky.
Lao Cui also took the risk and spat and cursed: "Whoever dares to get on your bed will be fucked by me. Platoon leader Zhang, please sign up and count me in. I will follow Commander Xie to fight the Japanese."
The team sacrificed another seventeen soldiers. Platoon leader Zhang, who stayed behind in Dagu Town, unexpectedly recruited fifty-seven more recruits. This was an unexpected surprise. According to what the regiment leader said before, I can almost be the company commander. .
Strike while the iron is hot, Platoon Leader Zhang wondered whether to send a few soldiers to the upper and lower riversides to recruit troops after dawn. These two villages were massacred by the devils, and those who survived were the ones who ran fast. The common people who survived now were If you hate the Japanese to the core, you might be able to recruit some soldiers.
Platoon leader Zhang really guessed it right. After dawn, he sent a squad leader and a few soldiers to the upper and lower rivers to recruit troops. When the squad leader came back, he was ready to become a platoon leader.
