The sun has risen above the head, the temperature continues to rise, and waves of heat are blowing in the face with the breeze.
Looking at the time, it was almost ten o'clock, Xu San decided to go find He Yong first.
There is another battalion of puppet troops over there, marching along the route, targeting the 357th and 358th regiments.
Judging from this meaning, the fifth battalion was considered to be attacking the outer perimeter, but the order had not yet been issued, so he had to rush back to make the raid deviate from the route.
The motorcycle drove leisurely on the road, not very fast, because Li Si was driving, while Xu San sat in the bucket and guessed the details of the Japanese action.
According to the information coming from Lian Wushang, there seemed to be no puppet troops among the troops encircling Yawuwu.
But why were puppet troops not used in this operation?
Xu San thought about it carefully and could probably guess the Japanese intention of not using the puppet army.
Because the puppet troops were of little use during the last attack on the duck dock, and instead sent a lot of ammunition to the new regiment. It seemed that this posture was because they were afraid that the puppet troops would be a hindrance.
Duck dock!
Duck dock.
The Japanese are determined to eat them, but what is the attitude of the Eighth Route Army?
Stick to it?
Or transfer directly?
It is impossible to transfer directly, and even if there is to be a transfer, we must cover the fellow villagers and evacuate first.
"How many villages are there in the defense area of the New Second Regiment now?" Xu San asked.
"Four, there are three more now, if the rear is also counted, that's more." Li Si replied.
Xu San has never been able to outline the general outline of the liberated area in his mind, because this area in western Shanxi is too chaotic. There are several areas where I have you, and you have me. It is really difficult to divide the sphere of influence. And the most important thing is that The Hundred Regiment is about to start, and the Eighth Route Army has very frequent mobilizations.
Although Xu San had an idea that could alleviate the pressure on the new second group, it would be very involved and he was afraid of accidentally affecting the boss's layout.
Headache!
After pinching his head, he turned on the intercom and asked Lian Wushang to ask if the fellow villager had moved.
Turning off the walkie-talkie, Xu San suddenly thought that communication in this era was very difficult, even for the Japanese. In other words, generally, communication soldiers were required to deliver information.
In addition to running, you can also use radios and telephones, and mobile individual units are not a mainland product. For example, the fifth battalion is not equipped with them, nor is the Nakajima team that is accompanying them in the sweep.
If calculated according to the rationing standards, it means that many of the troops coming out this time are not equipped.
Thinking of this, Xu San said to Li Si, "Can you find Captain Sun?"
"able!"
Xu San summed up his remarks: "Let's not talk nonsense. This time the Japs are taking over the duck dock. Judging from the strength, the number is estimated to be 4 times, and this is only on the surface. The attack on the duck dock is the action of the devils. The first step is to have a back-up, but no matter what the back-up is, it needs to send orders. Generally, the army will not be equipped with individual radio stations, so the enemy's order soldiers should have been spread out by now. So, after you find Captain Sun, let him He contacted several more county brigades and tried his best to intercept the Japanese communications soldiers."
"Okay, then I'm leaving now?"
"How long does it take you to get there and back?"
"Two hours!"
"Okay, I guess it's still too late. Go directly to the fifth camp to find me when you get back."
"Anything else?"
"I have another plan here. It's very risky. Although it won't have much impact on the battle situation, it can still disgust the Japanese and make them suffer a loss. Just go back as soon as possible. When you get back, tell me that you will escort Mishima Taijun back. It’s a safe city.”
.
Xu San was still a step slow. When he returned to the fifth camp, the Japanese messenger had already passed the order to He Yong.
He Yong looked bad, retreated his soldiers, and handed the order in his hand to Xu San.
Xu San unfolded the order and took a look. It was as expected.
The 358th Sniper Regiment supports the Yuanyuwu battlefield.
According to He Yong, the order had been drawn up long ago, and the ordering soldiers did not know the specific content. They were only responsible for delivering it to the designated troops at the designated time.
Xu San handed the military order briefing to He Yong, "This method of delivering orders is just like the tips we used in ancient times."
The ancient kits were opened at a specific time and place, and the devil's order this time probably had the same purpose as the ancient kits. Both methods were to prevent military plans from being leaked, but Xu San did not expect that the Japanese would use this method of passing orders to prevent leaks in advance.
Despite this, their intentions were discovered in advance by the New Second Regiment.
Thinking about the several Chinese Art of War books on Yamamoto's shelf, Xu San once again felt that Yamamoto was definitely involved in this battle plan.
I sighed in my heart, hoping that the guerrillas could intercept and kill a few more messengers.
He Yong took the military order, threw it on the table, and accidentally uttered a curse word: "Brother, what should we do? The Japanese tmd asked us to fight the 358th Regiment. Doesn't this mean we will die?"
"Japanese?" Xu San looked at He Yong and asked, but another thought came to his mind. Although it was dangerous, it was worth a try.
"Slip of the tongue! I meant the Locust Army!" He Yong said awkwardly, and then took a peek at Xu San's reaction.
"The Japs and the Locust Army are all the same! It's just a title. As long as the battalion commander doesn't say anything outside, that's fine." Xu San reminded him kindly.
"Hey~~ I know this, but aren't there no outsiders in this tent? Let's get down to business. I don't know for sure. You have to know that the 358th Regiment is Lao Yan's elite. Are we the only ones who can do sniping?" He Yong still looked sad, his face full of unsolvable worries.
"Let's talk about the battle situation first. I just went for a walk and got a lot of information."
"Then tell me!" He Yong said, unfolding the military map.
Xu San glanced at the tent that served as the temporary headquarters. It was empty. There was no one else except him and He Yong. Thinking about it, the Fifth Battalion also had two staff officers. It seemed a bit unreasonable for him to make suggestions like this, so he asked: "What do you want?" Don't you want to call Staff Officer Song and the others?"
He Yong waved his hand, "They are just decorations. When they make suggestions, they can only talk on paper. I think you are more reliable, otherwise Yamamoto Daizuo will not ask you to carry out secret missions."
"Okay, I'll say it then!" Xu San paused for a moment and pointed his finger at the duck dock. "This time the Japanese made a big move. Three brigades besieged the duck dock."
"Three?"
"There are two infantry brigades in Kurosawa. Both of these brigades set out for the purpose of mopping up, but their ultimate goal is the duck dock. In addition, there is also a reorganized infantry brigade in Kamiya."
"Didn't Shen Gu go back?" He Yong asked doubtfully.
"How is it possible to go back? You think the imperial army is us, and you are doing raids as an outing? They may not be hiding somewhere right now, and they are planning to plot against someone."
Of course Xu San knows where Shengu is now, but the source of this information is difficult to explain, and even if he tells He Yong, it will be of no use, because his current identity is a puppet soldier, and he has to use his identity as a puppet soldier to avoid being powerful.
When He Yong heard what Xu San said, he didn't worry about Shengu's whereabouts, but directly expressed his doubts: "Ordering a battalion of us to snipe the 358th Regiment is too high on us. The 358th Regiment is Lao Yan's trump card. "
"Isn't this how the so-called blocking wars are fought? To contain a large enemy force with a small number of troops. The Locust Army allows one of our battalions to hold back a regiment of 358. This is considered a normal formation."
