Xie Tian finally contacted Ma Dong, and Ma Dong reported that he had not yet caught the group of little devils who escaped in disguise.
Ma Dong's failure to gain anything was expected by Xie Tian. After all, Ma Dong brought too few manpower. If he wanted to control such a large mountain, he would definitely be full of loopholes. It was basically a stroke of luck.
The Laoye Temple where Chu Yunfei's regiment headquarters was originally located has been turned into ruins, and hundreds of years of historical relics have been destroyed by the little devils.
Xie Tian still set up the temporary headquarters here. Chu Yunfei was very good at choosing a place. This place is close to Madian Town and is one of the core villages and towns in this area. The transportation is very convenient and it has good access to advance and retreat. If a strong enemy When the attack came, he turned around and hid in the mountains.
But now Madian Town has also been burned to ruins by the Japanese. Not even a single person can be seen in this large town. The people are running away to death. The once prosperous Madian Town has now turned into a ghost town.
Damn Neji Okamura, he brought the Sanko policy wherever he went, and even after the war, the Nanjing Military Court acquitted him.
Did all Nanjing judges grow up eating shit?
He also passed this urine trait on to future generations. Why should you help him if you didn't hit him? Damn it.
The entourage from the division headquarters was busy setting up tents. Xie Tian simply spread out the map on the marching table and called Qin Fen and others who were accompanying him to gather around the table and start deploying the defense zones of each regiment and battalion.
Chu Yunfei's defense area is very large, almost a hundred kilometers in depth. It borders the 386th Brigade Defense Area of the Eighth Route Army on two sides, and the Japanese theater Yangqu on one side. On the other side, it is Xie Tian's Dagu Town and Zhangzhuang, as well as Chu Yunfei's. The newly acquired Pingyuan County.
This time, Chu Yunfei captured Pingyuan County and lost his original defense area, which was a huge advantage.
But Xie Tian is not embarrassed at all. Your troops can't defeat the defense area that the Japanese Beichen Alliance voluntarily gave up. I destroyed the Beichen Alliance and took it from the Japanese. If you come to me to ask for the territory, then We have to talk about it carefully.
Xie Tian began to arrange his troops. The heavy troops were basically lined up on the front line facing Yangqu and Taiyuan Japs. As for the Guangbao area bordering the 386 Brigade, Xie Tian only arranged for a small force to be stationed at several points. The main purpose is to declare sovereignty.
As for the direction of Pingyuan County, Xie Tian gave Chu Yunfei a favor and arranged for a company to be stationed in Quantou, which borders Pingyuan County. The focus was still on the Tongpu Railway passing through Quantou Township.
Although the Tongpu Railway has been completely cut off by Xie Tian and the 386 Brigade, and no trains are passing through it, the railway line will still be opened sooner or later, but when the Tongpu Railway is opened to traffic again, control will definitely no longer be in the hands of the Japanese.
Setting up defenses is one thing, and capturing Okamura Neji is another. Now Xie Tian has arranged the two things together.
When Qin Fen and others heard that the person being rounded up was most likely Okamura Neji, they all screamed with excitement as if they had been given chicken blood.
That was Neji Okamura, one of the few generals of the Japanese army. If he could really be caught, it would probably turn the tide of the war. Even if he couldn't, it would be a great joy and it would be enough to boost the country's enthusiasm for the war of resistance.
After the arrangement was completed, Xie Tian waved his hand: "Everyone, please work harder tonight and rush to your defense area as quickly as possible. Don't let this hard-won territory slip through your fingers. Please pay attention, the Japanese are not here." Drive all Chu Yunfei's troops out of this defense area, and try not to cause any friction with them if you encounter them."
Ge Dazhuang looked at Xie Tian with a dark look and asked: "Master, don't we overlap with their defense zone?"
Xie Tian said with a bad smile: "You can find a way to squeeze them away. Just control the intensity. We don't want to fire the first shot, but we can prepare more sticks and other things. If they don't obey, we will beat them."
Ge Dazhuang laughed: "Our regiment doesn't need it. Just put the tank at the entrance of their camp and just turn around the turret. I guess all the problems will be solved."
Xie Tian smiled and said: "You can take control of it yourself. Go away. I want to take over such a huge piece of territory."
If such a large defense area can be completely occupied, the capture of Qizhou can be discussed later.
Territory represents strength. How much food can be produced and how many soldiers can be raised as large as the territory is. This is an inexhaustible resource. In a small way, it is the foundation of an army. In a big way, it is the foundation of an army. It is said that all the princes along the way have the capital to station troops and respect themselves.
The commanders of each army regiment and battalion dispersed in a hurry. For them, they had their own defense zone and they were also princes in the People's Liberation Army. Just like Li Yunlong, they lived a much more unrestrained life, just like his mother-in-law, the emperor.
Although the troops were dispersed, Xie Tian still had many people available for him.
All the teams directly under the division headquarters are still there, including the reconnaissance company, artillery company, baggage company, communications company, as well as the logistics and health teams of non-combat troops, etc., totaling several hundred people.
Moreover, Yi Zong is also on the way to search forward. It is enough to simply arrest what Xie Tian thinks is Okamura Neiji and his gang of only a dozen or so Japanese.
The troops deployed their defenses separately, which was like casting a dragnet. For more than 200 miles to Taiyuan, if this group of Japanese soldiers wanted to get back safely, it would depend on whether they had this ability.
The area of Laoye Temple and Mazhuang Town is a defense area assigned to the First Column. The main responsibility of the First Column is to protect the safety of the division.
Hu Zhiyong came over to report that the temporary tent had been set up, and Xie Tian sighed and stood up to pack the map.
At this time, another guard of Xie Tian, Zhao Dahai, hurried over with a radio on his back and reported to Xie Tian: "Division commander, the captain of the First Column High School has an emergency report."
Xie Tian hummed, took the earphones, covered his ears, and picked up the microphone: "Gao Cheng, what's the matter?"
"Commander, we have rushed to the house with the lights on. Our local soldiers know the people in this family. The head of the household and his wife are all dead. Their daughter was seriously injured... They were ruined by the little devils. We are still in the woodshed. We caught a seriously injured Japanese who was beaten with a cannon. Commander, would you like to escort this little Japanese over to you?"
Xie Tian roared before he could finish listening: "Forget it, just give me a knife to kill that Japs. Arrange the soldiers to send the girl to the Laoye Temple as soon as possible. Our health team is here. You continue to surround and suppress the Japs for me, except Except for Okamura Neji, no other Japanese will be left alive."
"Yes", Gao Cheng responded hurriedly, turned around and ordered to the soldiers beside him: "Commander ordered, chop up that little devil."
Xie Tian gave the order in anger, but Gao Cheng unexpectedly followed it resolutely.
Kameda Yuzo, who was seriously injured, received a total of 177 knives before he died due to excessive blood loss. The soldier who had long wanted to cut him into pieces cut off the thing that had harmed the daughter of this family with the first knife, and it was also sliced...
