The sun sets.
Pingsui Railway, Gaoyang Station.
Not long after a Japanese heavy armored train and two military trains left the station, they were discovered by soldiers from the reconnaissance company of the Sixth Battalion of the New Regiment.
The soldier immediately took a high-power walkie-talkie phone and called the Sixth Battalion headquarters:
"Call battalion headquarters, call battalion headquarters!"
Wang Fafa's voice rang in the ears of the reconnaissance company soldiers: "I am Wang Fafa, is there anything going on?"
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company said urgently: "Report to the battalion commander that a Japanese heavy armored train and two Japanese military trains were found coming towards you!"
"What did you say?" Wang Fangfa, the battalion commander, was suddenly startled: "Did you see clearly?"
The soldier from the reconnaissance company said with certainty: "See clearly!"
At the Liuying headquarters, Wang found that the battalion commander put down his walkie-talkie and looked thoughtful.
He was a little confused.
What's happening here?
I haven't received any notification from the regiment headquarters.
On the side, Battalion Commander Zhao of the Seventh Division saw this and asked: "Old Wang, you are the commander-in-chief now and have to take the lead. Why are you frowning? Did something happen?"
Battalion Commander Wang spoke very quickly: "Our battalion just arranged a report from the scouts outside Gaoyang Station."
"There is a heavy armored train and two Japanese army trains coming towards us."
Zhao Youliang's expression instantly became a little confused: "Could it be that the Japanese heavy artillery regiment has arrived?"
According to the telegram sent by the regiment headquarters, the Japanese heavy artillery column was transported by a heavy armored train and a military train loaded with infantry.
"so!"
Wang Fafa made a decision instantly: "The telegraph soldiers will stay here to contact the regiment headquarters and inquire about the situation. When there is news, the telegraph soldiers will immediately use walkie-talkies to contact the battalion headquarters, and each battalion and regiment will immediately enter an ambush position!"
"good!"
Zhao Youliang's expression instantly became serious, and he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie to deliver orders to each regiment and battalion.
In order to facilitate communication, the three groups of the 2nd Independent Brigade are equipped with a low-power walkie-talkie.
This is not an ambush location, but a hidden location, more than 3 kilometers away from the railway in Miaoergou.
Because once they entered the ambush position in advance, they could hide on the hilltop, but they could not hide the Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky, so each regiment and battalion found a place to hide 3 kilometers away.
As the command was issued, the Eighth Route Army soldiers all over the mountains and plains sprang out from their hiding positions and walked quickly towards Miaoergou.
…
Northwest Shanxi.
Dagu Town, the new regiment headquarters.
After several waves of attacks by the Japanese 10th Division in the previous two days, they did not attack again.
The Japanese dug trenches and built fortifications at various offensive positions, assuming a posture of long-term siege.
The soldiers of the new regiment are ready to prepare, and the people in the defense area are also stepping up their efforts to harvest autumn grain.
In addition, Ding Wei and Kong Jie also sent telegrams respectively. In the past two days, the Japanese second-line divisions have stopped attacking, and the people in the two defense areas are stepping up to cross the Yellow River.
As long as the northern Shanxi base area survives this crisis, the food problem can be solved.
The people in northwestern Shanxi sincerely followed the Eighth Route Army, and it was not easy for Shanxi Wang Yan Laoxi to come.
There was a booming sound of artillery in the distance, and the artillery unit of the new regiment started an artillery battle with the Japanese 10th Division.
Although the New Regiment was not in a hurry to counterattack, it could not just watch the Japanese build fortifications there.
As long as they are within the range of the new regiment's artillery, wait until the Japanese engineers have completed half of the civil fortifications, and then use the artillery battalion to destroy them immediately.
What stands out is that there are too many shells.
The Japanese raised the balloon in an attempt to find the Eighth Route Artillery position, but it only rose halfway before falling.
Later, the Japanese sent a reconnaissance plane to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, but it was driven away by the 37mm anti-aircraft guns of the air defense battalion.
Duan Peng led the Sharp Sword Squadron in an attempt to infiltrate the Japs' artillery position and blew up all the Japs' cannons. They were almost caught in an ambush by the Japs. Fortunately, Duan Peng was alert in advance and escaped with the Sharp Sword Squadron.
The Japanese also sent a small group of troops to try to penetrate into the base area and stepped on an S mine.
Although the infantry offensive and defensive battles between the two sides stopped, small actions by both sides continued.
Inside the headquarters, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo were discussing the counterattack plan, with Chen Feng sitting aside as an advisor.
Suddenly, a telegraph soldier hurriedly walked in. After saluting a military salute, he handed the telegram in his hand to Li Yunlong:
"Report to the head of the regiment, the Sixth Battalion of the Division is calling urgently!"
Li Yunlong quickly put down the pencil in his hand, took the telegram and read it, his expression instantly became serious.
As soon as everyone saw Li Yunlong's expression, they knew that the matter was not simple. Something must have happened to the troops who were ambushing the Japanese heavy artillery regiment.
Zhao Gang hurriedly asked: "Old Li, did Battalion Commander Wang and Battalion Commander Zhao encounter any special situation?"
Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng: "The scouts outside Gaoyang Station reported that a Japanese heavy armored train and two military trains were heading towards Datong. The Sixth Battalion Commander asked us if the Japanese heavy artillery regiment had arrived? "
】
Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Chen Feng heard this and hurriedly looked at Chen Feng.
Boss Chen said that if the Japanese heavy artillery regiment sets out, he will receive information.
Could it be that Boss Chen’s intelligence personnel were exposed? Or is there no chance to spread the information?
"oh?"
"Is there such a thing?"
Chen Feng stood up with a surprised expression. He brought up the light blue panel of the system.
The panel showed that the Japanese heavy artillery regiment had set off from Peiping, but it had stopped at Zhangjiakou Station and had not moved. There were three question marks on the arrival time at each subsequent station on the Pingsui Railway.
Shouldn't this be true? Could it be that the system is wrong?
So far, this dog system has not made any mistakes, so there is only one truth. Okamura Neji is playing the trick of exchanging the civet cat for the prince.
This armored train and two military trains are fake. They are smoke bombs released by that old devil Okamura Neiji to test whether the information about the heavy artillery regiment has been leaked. He even wants to take this opportunity to dig out the inside information around him. ghost.
In a moment, Chen Feng guessed what Okamura Neji was thinking.
Chen Feng glanced at Li Yunlong and the others, then sat back on the board: "Don't be anxious, just wait a moment."
But Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at the map, feeling a little anxious.
Wang Dehou used a scale to draw a line on the map, and then said:
"Gaoyang Station is about 15 kilometers away from Miaoergou. Calculating that the Japanese convoy's speed is 30 kilometers per hour, it only takes half an hour for the Japanese convoy to reach Miaoergou."
"Captain Wang and Battalion Commander Zhao must have led their men to Miaoergou for an ambush."
Battalion Commander Wang sent a telegram at this time. He must have asked Li Yunlong whether to fight or not, and Li Yunlong would give the order.
Xing Zhiguo looked at Chen Feng and couldn't help but ask: "Advisor Chen, is this the Japanese heavy artillery regiment?"
"It's not sure yet, just wait a little longer."
Chen Feng shook his head. Although he had already guessed the answer in his mind, he couldn't say it clearly.
Immediately afterwards, he said: "If we don't wait for the information, I suggest letting this Japanese convoy go."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other and nodded, listening to Chen Feng's suggestion.
Now, all we have to do is see if we can wait for the information.
Everyone was silent, and time passed anxiously.
About 10 minutes later, Yan Shuangying hurriedly walked into the headquarters with a telegram in his hand, then walked to Chen Feng and handed the telegram to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng stood up and took the telegram and read it. Yan Shuangying turned and left with a crisp movement.
After reading the telegram, Chen Feng smiled slightly and handed the telegram to Li Yunlong: "My intelligence personnel have just received information that the Japanese heavy artillery regiment and infantry regiment are still at Zhangjiakou Station."
After Li Yunlong heard this, he picked up the telegram and looked at it again, and he was relieved.
Then, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and said loudly: "Chief of Staff, immediately order the telegraph soldiers to send a telegram to Wang Fafa, ordering them not to attack and let the Japanese convoy go!"
"yes!"
Wang Dehou walked quickly to the communication room next door.
Zhao Gang narrowed his eyes: "Okamura Neji, this old devil, is quite cunning."
Li Yunlong nodded: "Yes, this old devil Okamura is much more difficult to deal with than Yoshio Shinozuka."
Xing Zhiguo smiled slightly: "Fortunately we have Advisor Chen to provide intelligence support, otherwise we would not be even prepared at all when the Japanese heavy artillery regiment arrives at the front line."
Captain Li's expression changed when he heard this. He had a lot on his mind at this moment.
Okamura Neiji's plan to create a real and fake heavy artillery unit must be a top secret among top secrets. Even his close advisers probably don't know about this plan.
Among the personnel with access to this information, within the North China Front Army Headquarters, it is estimated that only North China Front Army Commander Okamura Neiji, Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe, Deputy Chief of Staff Seizo Arisu, and Communications Staff Officer knew about it.
Tanabe Moritake was commanding the mopping up operations in northwestern Shanxi, so he probably didn't know about this situation. So Boss Chen's intelligence personnel were either Sue Seizo or Okamura Neiji's communications staff.
Li Yunlong prefers to be a communications staff officer, because a communications staff officer can transmit information to Boss Chen via telegram in a timely manner.
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong couldn't help but shrink slightly. If this was the case, he couldn't imagine how much information Boss Chen had on the North China Front...
…
Northern Shanxi.
Pingsui Railway, Miaoergou section.
Under the leadership of Division Six Battalion Commander Wang Fafa, it took each battalion and regiment about 20 minutes to arrive and enter the ambush position.
However, Wang Fafa sent people to bury the explosives in advance, and the explosion was triggered by wires, so there was no need to plant explosives.
The headquarters of the Sixth Battalion is at a commanding height on Highland 3, overlooking the entire battlefield.
The railway passes through the bottom of the ditch with a slight curve, but this curve is the reason why Wang Fafa chose to ambush the Japanese heavy artillery regiment here.
Because once the ambush begins, the Japanese infantry regiment and heavy artillery regiment must not be able to look at each other.
There are high soil slopes on both sides of the railway, with exposed iron-green rocks. There is almost no vegetation, only a few small trees and drought-resistant bushes beside the railway.
This kind of mountain is very boring. There are no green grass and wild flowers, no waterfalls and springs, and no roaring of birds and beasts.
At this time, about 7,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers were ready for battle on the four hills of Miaoergou. The commanders and soldiers stared sharply in the direction of the railway.
