The Jinpu detachment suddenly started taking action and captured two county towns one after another. This caused the gangcun little devils who had been focusing on Wucheng to be pulled back and placed around them.
It was then that the staff of the General Staff suddenly discovered that the Tubal Road that had killed the Da Dao Alliance was actually still there, and now attacking the county town was just like playing for fun. Sending out one brigade after another could not fill the hole.
However, the Jinpu detachment, like the Wucheng side and the Tubal Road next to Shicheng, stayed day and night, and only fought at night, which made the Pingjin side's air superiority unable to be used at all.
Moreover, the marching ability of these Tubal Roads is particularly strong, and they often travel hundreds of miles in a day and night!
This kind of maneuverability amazed even the Japanese field divisions that were transformed into mules and horses.
It's not that they can't do it. When it comes to desperate situations, the Little Japanese Field Division can also display its inhuman spirit.
But now that they've been here for a few years, there's basically not much of that spirit left.
...
"Isn't it too risky for us to transfer two divisions?" Yamaguchi Suijiu's leftist finally raised his first objection to the plan to transfer two divisions to attack Wucheng.
"With these two divisions mobilized, there will be less than one and a half divisions left in the Pingjin garrison." Yamaguchi Shijiu continued, "I'm not saying there will be any trouble in Pingjin. Even if there are two brigades left, with the cooperation of our current With the city defense and air force, we won’t be afraid of even ten divisions if we only use the army.”
"But now that the Jinpu detachment has emerged, if they continue to attack the surrounding cities, we will not have the mobile power to solve this kind of trouble. In extreme cases, most of Hebei may be lost."

Yamaguchi Toshijiu pointed to the activity areas of the Jinpu detachment in Cangcheng and Hehai areas on the map and put forward his own hypothesis.
According to intelligence, the two recent county towns were destroyed by the Jinpu detachment. After annihilating the local military police brigade in the county town, they swept away all the military supplies and puppet troops. According to experience, this group of Tuba Road armed with 75mm mountain cannons The siege speed is very fast, and there is often no time to force the puppet troops to come out to defend the city before they rush into the city in large numbers and directly attack the gendarmerie brigade.
Seeing the ferocious Jinpu detachment, the puppet soldiers were trembling and trembling, and they did not dare to come out to fight.
This made the garrison gendarmerie brigade with hundreds of people guarding the city completely unable to stop the powerful Jinpu detachment.
Since the attacks were all at night, all the surrounding little Japanese and Pingjin's little Japanese were out of reach.
They could only let the Jinpu detachment pull out the two county towns, and at dawn, these people retreated like a tide, not staying in place to give the little devils a chance to bomb.
But whether it's the little devil or the Tuba Road side, everyone knows that this night battle mode is currently unsolvable for the little devil.
It's just that the little devil doesn't know that it is actually difficult for the Jinpu detachment to continue this sneak attack mode.
Because there is no walking logistics director like Gao Jianwu, the Jinpu detachment's inventory of artillery shells is limited. When attacking the county seat, it is basically impossible to replenish the 75mm mountain cannon shells.
We were able to capture some shells from the 92 Infantry Artillery, and with the capture of mortars and artillery shells from the puppet troops, we were able to barely break even.
It's just that the siege efficiency of the 92 infantry artillery is much worse than that of the 75mm mountain artillery.
...
Regarding the Jinpu detachment issue, Gao Jianwu certainly has a clear understanding.
"Telegraph Hu Minghua to use transportation channels to find a way to supply 75mm mountain artillery shells to the Jinpu detachment!" After the news came back that the Jinpu detachment had attacked two counties, Gao Jianwu issued new instructions to the Dagushan headquarters.
The underground transportation channels that had been so painstakingly established were now finally put to use.
Although the transportation capacity of this channel is limited, it mainly relies on mules, horses and manpower. In order to keep the operation confidential, up to three or four horses can be transported at a time, which is a transportation capacity of more than one ton.
In terms of logistics support for the army, this capacity is hardly worth mentioning, but for the Jinpu detachment, it can receive one ton of artillery and multiple shells from time to time, which is basically about 200 rounds. Calculated based on the basic consumption of attacking a county, these shells are enough Five or six county towns were killed.
Calculating this way, if a transport team delivers the goods every month, then the Jinpu detachment can continuously receive replenishments and continue to stab the little Japanese in his heart!
...
At the headquarters of the North China Expeditionary Force, Yamaguchi Suijiu's worries became the topic of their research. As a result, the rhythm of the Japs was slowed down. Gao Jianwu, who did not receive intelligence on the Japs' actions in Wucheng, initially For a few days, the sheep moved to make the little devil's air power wasted.
To maintain the continuous operations of more than a dozen fighter planes during the day, the amount of fuel consumed was too much for the Gangcun kid. After flying around with the fighter plane for a few days, the Gangcun kid finally couldn't bear it when faced with the fighter plane that had not made any achievements. , only two or three reconnaissance tracks were retained.
At this time, Gao Jianwu took action and began to clear out the presence of imps around Wucheng on a county-by-day basis.
Seven days later, Gao Jianwu sneaked into the Yanggao area around Yunzhong with a complete Ping'an battle group and the main force of the Daqingshan Cavalry Regiment.
The temporary front command composed of Li and Gao established a headquarters in Shahe Village, more than 10 miles away from Yang Gao.
"Tomorrow, Dalei will take your brigade of sheep to attack Yanggao and bring 6 mortars." The battalion-level cadres summoned by General Gao Jian began to deploy the battle.
"In this battle, Dalei, your mission is to try to fish out the Heijing Regiment of the Little Devils from the Cloud. Therefore, the offensive momentum must be loud, but the combat effect must be average. You must be similar in strength to the main force of the Jinsui Military Region. Don't accidentally attack the city."
Although he is said to be the temporary leader of the Li and Gao duo, Captain Li has already been sent out to contact the Jinsui Military Region.
In fact, only Gao Jianwu was left as the supreme commander.
But with or without Lao Li, Xing Zhiguo, Shen Quan, Zhang Dabiao and others now respect Gao Jianwu like a god, and there is no situation where he can't command.
"Yes!" Zhao Dalei agreed without even asking why, and began to go down to prepare for the battle.
"Old Xing, you take people to Yang Gao to lurk in the middle of Yunzhong, send a battalion to spread out and capture several strongholds leading to Yunzhong, and expose mortar firepower at most. This will give the illusion to the little devils in Yunzhong. A small team is harassing and blocking the reinforcements. If necessary, use the Jinsui Military Region designation. But be careful not to equip the attacking troops too well. It doesn't matter whether the stronghold can be taken down. The important thing is to make the little devils believe that you are from the Jinsui Military Region. The goal was achieved.”
"Lao Chen and I will approach Yunzhong with the main force."
"Understood." Xing Zhiguo nodded. The target of this battle is Yunzhong, but Yunzhong is actually not the real target. Gao Jianwu, Xing Zhiguo, Shen Quan and the others came to the conclusion that mobilizing the 26th Division back is the goal.
Of course, if Yunzhong could take it down quickly, he would definitely do it right away.
Just like tonight's action, if the little devil's Heijing Regiment is really mobilized, the main force of Shen Quan and Gao Jianwu may really attack the city directly.
Now Gao Jianwu has the main force of Daqingshan cavalry and an artillery regiment made of mules and horses, and it is quite ferocious to attack the city.
...
Not long after the battle on Yang Gao's side started, Captain Heijing received the news.
"Moxi Moxi, this is Kuroi Chusan." Captain Kuroi answered the phone.
"Your Excellency Heijing, Tubal Road is attacking our Yanggao County. The enemy is coming fiercely. According to the observation from the front, there are no less than a thousand people. Currently, 6 mortars are dispatched to bombard the city gate fiercely. Based on this, it is speculated that Tubal Road should dispatch a main regiment. I humbly request His Excellency Kuroi to provide tactical guidance." Yang Gao Gendarmerie Captain Tumo Taro Shao Zuo reported with a cold sweat on his face.
According to conventional intelligence, those who can possess 6 mortars are usually the main regiment of Tubal Road.
For the Jinsui Military Region operating near Yunzhong, this understanding is basically no problem.
It’s just that Tumo Taro doesn’t know why his Yanggao County is being targeted.
He only has two reinforcement squadrons of about 500 men in his hands, and now they are all sent out to defend. Another regiment of about a thousand puppet troops is currently organizing its troops under the coercion of his messengers.
If it were any other time, Domo Taro would not take this matter seriously at all.
Even if a main force group from Tubal Road came, they couldn't attack Yang Gaocheng, but the situation is different now. In Wucheng next door, many county towns were captured by Tubal Road one after another.
This proves that the strength of Tubalu is indeed different from what it used to be.
What if the six mortars exposed now are smoke bombs released by them?
Now Tubal Road has captured a lot of artillery from the Locust Army. There are at least hundreds of artillery pieces in Wucheng alone!
If these weapons are exchanged with Tuba Road on the Jinsui side, it will be useless. As long as there is a 75mm mountain cannon, the simple city gate of Yanggao County cannot withstand a few cannons.
Yanggao was originally a relatively remote mountain city, but it was only on the main transportation road from Yunzhong to Wucheng that so many troops were stationed.
The city defense part was originally aimed at Tubal Road, which lacked artillery. There were two heavy machine guns on the city tower, and one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns at the city gate as the main firepower points.
The artillery team led by Zhao Dalei established an artillery position and machine gun positions on both sides on the reverse slope of a hill a full kilometer away from the city gate.
Just like this, one shot after another was fired at the city gate.
At first, the impact point of the artillery shells was still a little far away from the city gate. After all, these artillery units did not have Gao Jianwu's perspective map, so the distance estimates were a bit different. However, one shot after another was tested, and after a few shots, the shells began to fall at the city gate and the city gate. On the tower!
The squad leader guarding the city called the military police captain Domo Taro for help. After Domo Taro asked for the information, he quickly called his superior unit for help again, and at the same time sent a reinforced squadron to deploy defenses near the entrance of the city tower.
It's just that just as Kuroi Daizuo hung up the call for help from Tumo Taro, a new rescue call came in. The strongholds between Yang Gao and Yunzhong were now attacked in many places, which made Kuroi Daizuo believe that this was the enemy. A planned attack!
