under fire

Chapter 1229
South of Neihuang County.

The trainee team of the Ninth Battalion arrived at the temporary station arranged in advance by the staff of the first division.

After a hasty breakfast, I rested under the arrangement of the divisional staff.

Instructor Wang Liujin, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, first arranged with the enemy engineer Colin to arrange security personnel for the inspection team after breakfast.

Then I went to the temporary office of the enemy industry department in the village to read the briefing and learn about the distribution of nearby enemies.

The class that was supposed to be taught by Director Lin in the morning fell on him again.

This instructor is not good!
After lunch, continue to talk about combat theory.

After four o'clock, the theoretical study finally ended.

Instructor Wang waved the three groups of students to go back to discuss.

Let the three study captains stay.

There was a map on the broken table, and one person sat on each of the four benches around it.

Wang Liujin sat at the head, Hu Yi sat opposite to Wang Liujin, the commander of Division [-] sat on the left of Hu Yi, and the captain of the cadets of Division [-] sat opposite to Commander Zhang.

Hu Yi's eyes habitually fell on the map in front of him, and after a glance, he keenly realized that the current position seemed wrong.

On the south side of the map is a group of super large arrows connected horizontally.

Looking at the direction of the arrow, there should be an enemy starting from Kaifeng in the south of the Yellow River and advancing parallel to the north
Another force set out from Xinxiang, a little north and west of the Yellow River, and went north along the Ping-Han Railway until Anxian.

Wang Liujin occasionally glanced at the expressions of the three captains in front of him, stretched out his hand again, picked up half of the cornbread placed in the bowl on the bench next to him, stuffed it into his mouth, raised his head and mouth against the edge of the upside-down lunch box and shook it several times Down.

After wiping his mouth, he opened his mouth: "Enemy report: The Puppet 24th Army reorganized in Kaifeng set off yesterday, and the troops were divided into multiple routes and marched northward in parallel to encircle and suppress our Weinan base area. According to their speed, they will reach Xiangchangyuan before dark today. In the county area. Second, the reorganized puppet army in Xinxiang went north along the Ping-Han railway line, and sent additional troops to the large and small railway stations along the way."

After Wang Liujin finished speaking, he looked at Company Commander Zhang: "How is your team's students' ability to understand pictures?"

Zhang Lianchang smiled proudly: "Not only can he understand pictures, but he can also do simple homework on pictures."

Wang Liujin suddenly took out a pencil and said maliciously, "Hey, if you can mark where we are now, I will admit that your students in the first division can understand pictures."

"You want to test me?" Zhang Lianchang was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips: "There is no door."

After speaking, I took a pencil and lightly traced a small circle on the map, then determined the direction, then calculated the time spent on the road last night to determine the distance traveled, and used the index finger and thumb to mark the distance on the map.
Finally, mark the exact location on the map.
"It's not bad. The training subject in the evening: the fortification of the position, and the task of building the sand table will be handed over to you and student Liu from the fifth division." After Wang Liujin finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from the briefcase on the stool next to him and handed it to Company Commander Zhang: " Just arrange it like this. It will be used before class at night.”

Company Commander Zhang took the paper and immediately jumped up: "What? This is obviously the layout map of Neihuang County."

Wang Liujin glared at Company Commander Zhang: "What? Do you have a problem?"

"Report to the instructor and make sure to complete the task!" After speaking, he pulled the captain of the fifth division student next to him, and the two hurried out to find someone.
Seeing the two of them going out, Wang Liujin murmured mysteriously, "Let's go to Neihuang County tonight."

Hu Yi froze for a moment: "What did you say?"

"Keep your voice down, the armed task force from Division [-] has gone to Neihuang County to scout out the enemy's situation, and tonight we will conduct a training raid on Neihuang County."

Hu Yi thought for a while: "We have to carry out security work."

"Don't worry, the inspection team is accompanied by the chiefs of the sub-district, and there is no possibility of accidents."

"What do you mean?"

"Hey, ever since we suppressed a lot of Huidaomen armed forces, the bandits under the Wang family's father and son who were born in Neihuang bandits saw that the situation was not good, and began to contact the reactionary armed forces. They did a lot of work in the first division, and let some bandits secretly join our Eighth Route Army , now the days of the bandits are getting worse day by day, two days ago Wang Sanzhu took most of the bandits and ran to the west, the defense of Neihuang County was empty."

Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "You mean you really want to hit the county seat?
"What does it mean to attack a county seat? It is called a night attack on a county seat. Try to take it down like the artillery building yesterday, without firing a single shot."

Hu Yi almost dropped his jaw in shock: "You can really think, is that a county town? There are tens of thousands of people in the city, half of them are bandits and their families."

"Don't worry, most of the bandits and puppet troops in Inner Yellow City were taken away by Wang Sanzhu, and the city's defenses are empty. This time, there are also armed task forces from the [-]th and [-]th divisions participating in the battle."

Hu Yi was startled, and quickly looked at the map: "If you really want to do something, you have to send people to sneak into the city in advance."

"This is a combat mission assigned by the superior to test the possibility of our Eighth Route Army raiding the enemy's county town. Therefore, we first picked a soft persimmon as a pilot."

After thinking about it for a while, Hu Yi immediately understood that his superiors probably had doubts about the local counterattack plan proposed by the chief, and it was reasonable to let the machine gunners conduct fire reconnaissance before the battle started.

Thinking of this, I suggested to Wang Liujin: "The first division must have arranged latent intelligence personnel in the county."

Wang Liujin shook his head: "The higher-ups requested that the intelligence system of a subdivision cannot be used in this attack. It is to test the surprise attack capability of the combat troops."

Hu Yi's thoughts diverged, and he suddenly thought of the former National Army Defense Zone in Taihang South!

It seems that the superior intends to take down the mountainous area in the south of Taihang before the friendly army surrendered to the enemy!

Finally figured it out, I seemed to have a lot of information.

For the overall situation of the Taihang War of Resistance, what I know is like a drop in the bucket.
Thinking of this: "You can't use the intelligence system, you have to go to the city for reconnaissance to find out the enemy's situation in the city."

Wang Liujin nodded: "The superior has not restricted the reconnaissance. In my opinion, it is best not to have more than one class."

Hu Yi shook his head: "The superior made a raid plan to test the siege ability of the combat troops. Didn't we just take this opportunity to test the resilience of the students?"

"What you said seems to make sense." Wang Liujin paused suddenly: "Uh, no, you can't participate in reconnaissance. If your student team wins the county, it may not be a good thing."

Naturally, the easier it is to raid the county seat, the better. If the student team can take down the county seat, wouldn't that be better?
Hu Yi really didn't understand: "I don't seem to understand what you mean."

"Your Ninth Battalion's fighting power cannot represent the fighting of most of our Eighth Route Army, do you understand?"

Hu Yi smiled: "Then can we rest for a night?"

"Student Hu!"

Hu Yi quickly stood up and stood at attention: "Here"

Wang Liujin ordered: "Change your clothes, and follow me to the Ministry of Enemy Industry to pick up the mission."

A car drove out from Xinglong Town and headed straight north.

Nurse Takeda Keiko was sitting in the passenger compartment of the car.

Early in the morning, she took a car to deliver supplies to the temporary station of the imperial army in Xinglong Town.

Go to the correctional center in the town to find the head of the education section, and tell the head of the education section everything you know.

The head of the education section didn't seem to take what he said seriously at all.

But, hasn't he been promoting the Great Winter Asian Paradise? How could he turn a blind eye to such a thing?

The car bumped along the way.

Standing by the side of the road was a group of imperial association troops who seemed to be about to cross the road from the wilderness.

Nurse Keiko subconsciously glanced at the iron tower-like Imperial Association Army.

However, she didn't know that the "Gao Yidao" who has always been in love with him is not Gao Yidao
at this time.

The phone at the county hospital rang.

The person who answered the phone put down the phone, and trotted all the way to find Shao Zuo to answer the phone.

The major picked up the microphone: "Where?"

"Takeda Keiko?"

"Uh thank you."

"Bastard!" Shao Zuo hung up the phone with a bang, followed by a curse.
