The mission Zeng Hanlin and the others encountered was just one of the missions received by the guerrillas within a hundred miles near Yanmen. Since the main force had to move lightly over a wide range, the weapons and ammunition they carried could not be lost, so the only thing that could be relieved was food.
Gao Jianwu's Ping An cluster, due to the large number of military products such as explosive flour, has long promoted efficient military rations such as fried noodles made from flour. Generally, the standard for individuals to carry out battles is to carry 7 kilograms of fried noodles. To meet the needs of seven days of field operations, it is necessary to insist on 10 There is no problem with God.
But there is no such condition here in Jinsui. There is a lot of coarse grains, but the quantity is not enough. When the movement reaches the Yanmen area, some supplements are needed to survive.
Gao Jianwu was thoughtful about the ammunition allocation, but when it came to food, he really didn't think about how other troops would solve the problem.
The chief of staff of the liaison officer would not be able to speak to Gao Jianwu and others, so the pressure would be placed on local guerrillas like Zeng Hanlin and others.
Gao Jianwu chose mountain trails to clear the way for the Ping An cluster. Along the way, he walked day and night. Occasionally, some small-scale conflicts occurred when passing through the Little Jaap blockade line. However, these conflicts were far away from the Tongpu line and were all in small areas in remote mountainous areas. In the town, the commandos go up and directly kill the defenders' squad or squad.
It was too late for them to report the losses to the county seat, which resulted in the fact that the Xiaojiazi county seat would not know that these strongholds had been lost until no news was received the next day.
But how it fell, no one knows.
If someone reported the loss of these strongholds and asked Kenji Kojo to draw a line, he would definitely know that this was an Eighth Route Army marching southward with a purpose.
It's a pity that no one realized that there was a huge team marching in the mountainous area on the other side parallel to the Pu line.
Within three days, everyone basically moved to within 50 kilometers of Yanmen, and one by one found a place to hide.
After Zeng Hanlin and his guerrilla brigade worked hard to establish a stronghold and snatched more than 6,000 kilograms of grain from the Japs, puppet soldiers and local traitors and delivered it to the designated location, Zeng Hanlin and Chen Cai suddenly discovered that the main force had arrived!
Suddenly Zeng Hanlin felt that all the hard work was worth it.
But no one knows now that the main force's target this time is the 26th Division. Zeng Hanlin just thought it was coming to attack the county, so he caught the leader of the group, and he couldn't wait to tell the county's defense situation. Said it again.
The regiment leader was very embarrassed, but he couldn't get rid of the enthusiasm of the local comrades. Fortunately, he had nothing to do now, so he just lurked here waiting for orders. He listened patiently and encouraged him for a while.
Let Zeng Hanlin leave with longing.
Almost all local guerrillas who came into contact with the main force thought that the main force was going to attack the county town.
After all, in their understanding, it is impossible to defeat the county without a few thousand people.
It's just that these guerrillas each have their own territory, and each one of them refers to a different county. After receiving the news, the spies planted by the little devils will pass the information back to the county's military police brigade, and each of them feels like they are facing a formidable enemy.
The information was reported up again and reached the hands of Kenji Xiangcheng.
"Jun Gumen, there are so many news about attacking county towns from Tubal Road. Is this a smoke bomb or is there some other mystery?" Xiangcheng Xianji marked the cities mentioned in the news. These counties are mountainous and should be avoided. As for the Tongpu Line, we can see that Tubal Road still considered the factor of reinforcement when choosing the location.
"It's hard to say whether it's true or false. It's hard to estimate the current Tubal Road." Gumen Yihui shook his head, "We need to think carefully about whether we need to deal with it in advance, like here."
Ikki Gumon pointed to a county town. According to the source, this was a target. It was only more than 30 kilometers away from the city they needed to pass through in their retreat.
Relatively speaking, this has posed a flank threat to the retreating team.
"The time for these news to come out is wrong." Xiangcheng Kenji shook his head. There was always a shadow in his heart, which made him very sensitive to these news.
"If the source of the news is correct, this is already a trace of the activities of the four main groups on Tubal Road. According to their athletic ability, they may be able to threaten us in a day and night. I will never feel reassured unless their numbers and sources are clear. .”
"Then instruct the local military police brigade to figure out this information at all costs. We need to be foolproof." Gumon Ikki and Kojo Kenji also became serious when talking about this issue.
Although the four main regiments are said to be less than a threat to the 26th Division, what if this is just the tip of the iceberg exposed by the opponent?
...
Gao Jianwu didn't know that a lot of information had been exposed about the brother army due to food supply issues.
Fortunately, the leaders of the team were all tight-lipped, and their combat intentions had not yet been revealed. In addition, the place where they were lurking was relatively far away. Although Kenji Xiangcheng was suspicious, the little devil had to verify the information. It can't be done in a day or two, and the 26th Division did not dare to stop and wait for the implementation of the intelligence when Gao Jianwu released the cavalry regiment to deploy suspicious troops in the surrounding area.
The cavalry regiment that Batu belongs to this time is responsible for attracting the attention of the little devils in the north, appearing from time to time.
They appeared during the encirclement and annihilation of the 11th Brigade. When Xiangcheng Kenji received the news, his inner tension increased a lot. According to his prediction, this was the first stage of preparations for the Eighth Route Army on the Wucheng side. , taking down the surrounding cities in Yunzhong as a springboard.
In addition, the newly reorganized security regiments of these two counties often mysteriously came back and forth from the county. The informants mistakenly believed that there were at least two main regiments on the Eighth Route here, plus the cavalry regiment. It basically made sense to say they were forwards.
There are three regiments, and there may be an artillery regiment that will arrive soon. This strength is still a bit reluctant to attack Yunzhong. After all, although the strength of the Black Well Regiment is not as good as that of the 11th Regiment and the 12th Regiment, it has weapons and equipment. It's the same. Relying on the city defense's bunker and artillery fire system, it's still no problem to deal with three regiments.
What's more, there is an artillery brigade of puppet troops that can consume a wave of opponents.
But in case of any eventuality, Xiangcheng Kenji was thinking that if the Tubal Army came in full force to encircle and annihilate the 11th Brigade, it would be difficult to say whether the Kuroi Alliance could withstand it.
You must know that those idiots in the 11th Brigade have lost a heavy artillery brigade. If these heavy artillery fall into the hands of Tubalu, the threat to Yunzhong will not be as great as that of the 105mm howitzer. The power of the 105mm howitzer is definitely not that of the 75mm. Mountain cannon can be compared.
In addition to intensive reconnaissance along the Tongpu Line, Kenji Kojo's air force reconnaissance aircraft also conducted reconnaissance back and forth on the road from Wucheng to Yunzhong. Those 105mm howitzers could never be transported through small roads and could only be transported on the highway. Just use a truck to tow it.

However, reconnaissance planes can only be dispatched during the day. It is really difficult to conduct reconnaissance during night marches. Now from Wucheng to Yunzhong, several counties and strongholds have been pulled out by Tubal Road.
Thinking of this, Xiangcheng Kenji was extremely anxious.
How could these idiots turn the war into such a mess? Damn it!
...
Gao Jianwu felt the movement trajectory of the 26th Division and silently calculated the time it would take for them to march through Yanmen. Three groups of scouts had been dispatched with walkie-talkies to form a relay network that could directly transmit the frontline observation situation to Gao Jianwu's lurking place.
Through this spy, the fact that Gao Jianwu himself could accurately grasp the movement traces of the 26th Division was concealed.
It's just that this time the little devils' marching speed suddenly accelerated. According to Gao Jianwu's calculations, they passed through the Yanmen area during the day!
Relatively speaking, this is much more difficult.
Not only does the little devil have air force support during the day, but the advantage of artillery fire cannot be underestimated.
Gao Jianwu thought about it for a while and felt that no matter what this time, he must first find a way to destroy the artillery regiment of the 26th Division.
The most he has in his hands this time is a 75mm mountain cannon, and the firepower of the artillery duel is obviously no match for the Japs.
However, this task was not easy. Kenji Kojo, who had been prepared for it, paid more attention to the artillery regiment than anything else. Not only did he place it in the center of the army, but he also had the cavalry regiment move together with the artillery regiment.
Whether it is defense depth or reaction and maneuverability, they have almost reached their peak.
Gao Jianwu felt the movement trajectory of the 26th Division and fell into deep thought.
...
On the other side, the young Japanese from the local military police brigade and the traitors from the detective team who were driven into a panic by the orders from above were all trying their best to find out the news about the main force.
Zeng Hanlin's guerrilla brigade.
A guerrilla named Lai Jinben was chatting absentmindedly with his teammates, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the room on the other side of the captain's room.
During the handover of food and supplies, the guerrilla members did not see anyone from the main force. They asked to retreat when they arrived at the designated location.
Only the captain and instructor had contact with the main force.
In this way, although Lai Jinben tried his best to probe around in the team, no one knew the number and purpose of the main force. Only the captain looked at the situation in the county with some joy, allowing Lai Jinben to guess that it was coming. Hit the county seat.
Originally, Lai Jin thought that it would be fine if he passed it on. Who knew that a strict order came from over there, asking him to obtain the main force number at all costs.
This made Lai Jinben dumbfounded at the time.
But when people got on the pirate ship, Lai Jinben couldn't get off.
After finally watching the captain go out to use the toilet, Lai Jinben hurriedly stopped the topic, pretended to be anxious and left in a hurry, then took a roundabout way and sneaked into the captain's room.
The guerrilla brigade temporarily lived in the mountain village, and naturally there was nothing in it, but the briefcase Zeng Hanlin carried was hanging on the wall at the moment. Lai Jinben rushed over impatiently and grabbed the briefcase, but before he could wait, He opened it.
"Sure enough, it's you!" A shout made Lai Jinben tremble with fright. He turned his head tremblingly and saw Zeng Hanlin pointing the gun at him. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
"Captain, I have an 80-year-old mother and a 5-year-old child. Please spare my life!" Lai Jinben communicated in tears, speaking as if it was true.
"Lai Jinben, you are a single man, what kind of children do you have?" Zeng Hanlin said coldly, "Not to mention that your mother was beaten to death by a kid a long time ago. You don't want to take revenge. Instead, you work hard for the kid and accept the thief as your father. ! It’s not a pity to die!”
After Zeng Hanlin finished speaking, he sent Lai Jinben away with a bang!
He has been aware of the fact that the guerrilla brigade has an internal response for a long time, but Lai Jinben is usually very clever in doing things. He rarely takes action unless it is a big deal, which makes it difficult for people to grasp the handle.
During these two days, Zeng Hanlin observed the team carefully and found some clues. Then he deliberately gave Lai Jinben a chance to touch the briefcase. Unexpectedly, he fished him out in no time.
