Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 473 Sneak Attack
When Wang Xuexin used the strategy of "Zhan'an Munxi", he considered many aspects, such as the strength and tactics of the devils, and even analyzed the psychology of the Eighth Route Army from the point of view of the devils.

But after setting this strategy, all these considerations do not need to be considered again.

Because Wang Xuexin was waiting for one thing: to see if the devil would build a railway into the city as he hoped.

The devils stationed in Yuncheng are an old opponent of the Eighth Route Army, the Ninth Mixed Brigade.

The original brigade head of this brigade was Major General Shigekawa Riki. He was surrounded by an independent regiment in Zhaojiayu and finally committed suicide.

The head of the brigade committed suicide, which was a shame to the devils, so the succeeding Major General Kenkichi Ikegami wanted to win the game. Whenever there was a war, he would ask his superiors to join the war.

But the reality disappointed Kenji Ikegami. The Ninth Mixed Brigade was assigned to the task of logistics and protecting the communication line every time.

This time was no exception. The attack on the flanks of the Eighth Route Army had nothing to do with the Ninth Mixed Brigade. They did not arrange to enter and take charge of the transportation and logistics around Yuncheng until Yuncheng was defeated.

"Have we been abandoned by our superiors?" Kenji Chishang stood in front of the window of the command headquarters rather depressed, looking at the groups of imperial soldiers who were practicing outside the window and said thoughtfully: "Responsible for logistics, we can't deal with it." They are just guerrillas. To restore the reputation of the Ninth Brigade... There is no hope at all!"

"Your Excellency, Major General!" Staff Officer Asakawa Tomie comforted: "Yuncheng is extremely important to our army's logistics. The superior arranged us here, perhaps as a kind of attention!"

Kenji Ikegami did not answer.

He knew it was just a way of comforting himself.

Although as Asakawa said, the geographical location of Yuncheng is extremely important, but the point is that the possibility of the Eighth Route Army attacking Yuncheng is almost zero... The imperial army has blocked the Eighth Route Army in Luliang Mountain. Whether the Eighth Route Army can break through this line of defense is a problem, let alone Attack Yuncheng.

And even if the Eighth Route Army hits Yuncheng, there will be city walls and bunkers everywhere, and only a few thousand people can defend it tightly.

But now, Yuncheng has more than [-] troops, including the "Peaceful National Founding Army" and the Gendarmerie Brigade, which makes Chi Shang Xianji feel that the Ninth Brigade came here to recuperate.

At this time, Asakawa received a telegram from his assistant, and reported with a surprised look: "Major General, the Eighth Route Army is frequently using spray bombs to carry out surprise attacks on our army. Yesterday they attacked Linfen Railway Station and Ningshan Warehouse. They even attacked during the daytime, and our superiors reminded us to be careful!"

Chi Shang Xianji just said "hmm" and didn't take this matter too seriously.

What Chi Shangxianji didn't know was that the information he heard was actually Wang Xuexin's vaccination.

If the Eighth Route Army had attacked Yuncheng Railway Station in the first place, it would probably arouse the vigilance of the devils:

"Why did the Eighth Route Army attack Yuncheng Railway Station for the first time?"

"Is there any plan for Yuncheng?"

"Do you want to strengthen the defense or let the intelligence force do a reconnaissance?"

……

Therefore, Wang Xuexin chose to attack the other two targets first and then hit the Yuncheng Railway Station, which would make the devils think that this was an "indiscriminate attack."

Just when Chishang Xianji was still caring about himself, there was a faint explosion outside the city, which surprised Chishang Xianji, who had experienced many battles, and he looked in the direction of the explosion reflexively. Go, although his sight is blocked by the city wall and he can't see anything.

"What happened?" Chi Shangxian asked.

There is no need for Kenkichi Ikegami to ask, Asakawa has already called the Umeda Brigade immediately... As a staff officer, Asakawa already knew this well about the Umeda Brigade stationed outside the North Gate.

After a while, Asakawa, who got the news, reported to Kenkichi Ikegami: "Major General, the train station was attacked by enemy spray bombs! It's an incendiary bomb, and our army is doing its best to put out the fire!"

The incendiary bomb ignited a pile of grain piled in the open air.

There are many such supplies in the train station, because there is not much space for storage, they are simply covered with tarpaulins to avoid getting wet.

It turned out that the devils didn't put out the fire, but the devils who participated in the fire were burnt to death and injured more than a dozen.

Chi Shang Xianji couldn't help being shocked when he got the result: "Why are so many people burned? Could it be that they threw themselves into the fire?"

"Your Excellency, Major General!" Chi Shangxianji replied: "This is a new type of gasoline bomb of the Eighth Route Army. Our army has experienced it on the battlefield. Once this kind of gasoline bomb is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish. The soldiers couldn't get rid of them. Our army has no experience, so 16 people were burned and five died on the spot!"

Asakawa's use of the word "difficult to extinguish" is actually not accurate, it should be "impossible to extinguish".

Asakawa said this because he only heard that he had never seen it, so there was room for his words.

Chi Shang Xianji's face changed when he heard this.

After a while, he asked, "Is the fire under control?"

"Yes!" Asakawa replied: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, we removed the surrounding flammable materials in time, and the fire has been brought under control!"

This answer shocked Kenji Ikegami. He just lit a pile of food, and it was still in the daytime. Only by removing objects can the fire be controlled.

If the incendiary bomb hit the warehouse instead of grain, does that mean...

This is actually Wang Xuexin's intention. There are a large number of strategic materials piled up at the station, many of which are flammable and explosive. What they are most afraid of is fire rather than explosion.

So obviously, this is where incendiary bombs come into play.

"Did you catch the target?" Ikegami Xiantian asked through gritted teeth.

It was already tragic enough that he was left idle here, but he was being ridden on the head by the guerrillas, he couldn't swallow anything!
But Asakawa remained silent. He bowed cautiously and bowed slightly, and replied: "I'm very sorry, Your Excellency! We... probably won't be able to catch the target!"

"What?" Kenji Ikegami slapped Asakawa down on the ground with a heavy slap, and shouted angrily, "Bastard, the enemy is hitting our army station with shells and killing more than a dozen people in our army, but we can't catch the target!" !"

Asakawa hurriedly got up from the ground, and explained while bowing: "I'm very sorry, Major General! The superior's telegram reminded that the enemy's jet projectiles have a range of five kilometers or even six kilometers, and they fired at our army from far away. , By the time we arrive, the enemy may have already fled... I am very sorry! I am very sorry!"

So Chi Shang Xianji understood what was going on.

Five or six kilometers... This is a straight-line distance, which means that it will take at least ten minutes for the imperial army to arrive at the launch site.

Within ten minutes, the guerrillas had already disappeared without a trace.

Chi Shang Xianji couldn't help sighing: No wonder they dared to attack during the day.
