Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 219 Advance Layout
"You make it too easy to penetrate into the enemy's interior, especially the interior of the Japanese army!" Li Yunshan said.

"The work on the intelligence front has always been cruel. The Japanese army has always been strict in this aspect. How many agents from our side, the Central Command, and the Military Command can break into the enemy's interior? Most of the agents are just on the bright side of the city where they are located. Have a serious identity, use this to lurk!"

"Well, I really took it for granted!" Zhou Weihan admitted that he was influenced by spy war novels in his previous life, after all, not everyone is like Ning Zhiheng and Cheng Qianfan.

Zhou Weihan quickly extinguished the unrealistic fantasies in his mind, and said, "That's right, the next step of our detachment's plan is to harass the Ping-Han Railway where the Japanese army transports supplies. What do you mean, since you made a move, you can’t just return empty-handed!”

Li Yunshan smiled after hearing this, knowing that Zhou Weihan was thinking about the supplies on the Japanese train: "Yongping, HD, and Cixian, which are closer to our independent detachment, are the only way to pass through the Ping-Han line. If you really want to flatten the Han Line, you can start with the local railway workers and even the staff of the stations along the way.”

"It would be good to let comrades from the enemy industry department develop personnel in this area, or have the opportunity to lurk in one or two people."

"The railway has always been one of the key directions of the organization's work. I believe that comrades in the local area have already made arrangements for this. You can definitely get in touch with Lingyuan!" Li Yunshan suggested.

Zhou Weihan slapped his forehead, secretly cursing that he really got into a dead end.

A person who leads troops to fight, the organization has ready-made intelligence channels and does not use them, so he has to conduct intelligence in this area by himself.

After Zhou Weihan left, he immediately found an officer of the Enemy Engineering Division who was staying at Yanwangshan, and asked him to contact the comrades in the local area to ask for information in this regard.

At the same time, Zhou Weihan also ordered Dong Jiang's reconnaissance company and Wang Yigong's Fourth Regiment to dispatch personnel to secretly investigate in the direction of the Ping-Han Railway.

Zhou Weihan took such actions because not long ago, on August 1940, 8, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters issued the "Campaign Operation Order".

It was precisely the battle deployment and combat area that were determined: the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region used the main force of 10 regiments to destroy the Pingding-SJZ section of the Zhengtai Railway, focusing on destroying the Niangziguan and Pingding sections.

At the same time, sufficient troops should be dispatched to destroy the Beining, Jinpu, Deshi, Cangshi, Pinghan and other railways around the border area, and block the enemy who may send reinforcements to the Zhengtai Railway.

The 129th Division, with 8 regiments of the main force and 1 battalion of the artillery regiment attached to the headquarters, smashed the Pingding to Yuci section, focusing on destroying the Yangquan and Zhangjing sections; Lintun Highway, and at the same time dispatch enough troops to attack.

The 120th Division should attack the Tongpu Railway and the Fenli Highway north of Pingyao; at the same time prevent the enemy from reinforcing Zhengtai Road, and dispatch troops to actively attack various enemy strongholds and communication lines in the hinterland of northwest Shanxi

The campaign was unified under the command of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and the campaign was launched on August 8.

And inside the 129th Division.

The 385th brigade, the new tenth brigade, and the new eleventh brigade are arranged south of Zhengtai Road on the northern line.

The new first brigade was deployed on the Ping-Han Railway north of Xingtai.

The first decisive column was deployed east of the Tongpu Railway.

The main force of the 386th Brigade and the third column of Desperately attacked the Baijin Railway that separated Taihang and Taiyue, and the Lintun Highway on the south side of the defense area.

The main force of the independent detachment cooperated with Li Yunlong's Xinyi Regiment and Ding Wei's 28th Regiment to attack the Hanchang Highway and the Pinghan Line along the Yongping-Cixian line.

The news is constantly being collected, and the scattered troops of the various regiments have begun to gather rapidly.

Hades Mountain.

"The regiments of our independent detachment, the new regiment, and the 28th regiment have all assembled, and they all asked the headquarters for the next step!" Xing Zhiguohui reported.

"Everyone who is in a hurry, go and tell them to stay put and wait for orders. No one is allowed to make small moves before the command gives the order!" Zhou Weihan ordered.

"It's been a long time for them. When they heard that there was a war, they became more impatient!" Zhao Gang said with a smile.

After Zhou Weihan finished speaking, he continued to stare at the map, thinking about where to open the breakthrough.

At this time, an officer of the enemy industry department quickly walked into the headquarters: "Report, the comrades in HD sent information that the Japanese army suspected of having a secret stronghold in Lijia Village, Xiakou Town, the western suburb of HD, and trucks often transported to it. For supplies, most of the villages are our soldiers in military uniforms, their behavior is very suspicious!"

"Lijia Village, Xiakou Town?" Zhao Gang searched carefully on the map.

In addition to some of the maps currently used by the independent detachment were seized from the Japanese army, some were purchased from Isamu Terauchi.

The largest map covers the entire North China region, and the main villages and towns are marked in detail.

"Here!" Zhao Gang pointed to a point on the picture and said.

"There are quite a few Japanese army strongholds around this Lijia Village, and it's not far from HD city. It's impossible for my Eighth Route Army troops to be active here!" Zhao Gang wondered.

"Besides the Japanese army pretending to be there, there is no other possibility. Is the Japanese army's infiltration into our military bases still rare?" Zhou Weihan said.

"Order the local comrades to always pay attention to the movement of the Japanese army here, and report immediately if they make any moves!" Zhou Weihan said to the officer of the enemy engineering department.

The enemy engineering department set up in HD is no longer a simple warehouse. The firm where it is located is an important stronghold of the enemy engineering department, and it is equipped with a radio station, so it is very convenient to contact.

"Eat it?" Zhao Gang asked.

"I think so, I'm afraid I don't have this tooth!" Zhou Weihan shook his head and said.

"Old Zhao, look, Yongping, HD, and Ci County are closer to our independent detachment. HD is an important city next to the Ping-Han Railway. The 108th Infantry Brigade under the 104th Division is stationed around HD."

"HD is a tough bone, our independent detachment can't move it, and Yongping is not easy between Xingtai and HD, and there are two brigades of Japanese troops in Wuyi and Wu'an. Once they attack around Yongping, they will be in trouble. Encircled by the Japanese army!" Zhou Weihan said.

"You mean to attack the railways around Ci County?" Zhao Gang asked.

"That's right, the west of Cixian County is the handover of the fourth regiment's defense area, and the eastern part can also be restrained by brother troops in southern Hebei. Anyang in northern Henan and Cixian County are separated by the Zhang River. The Japanese army there cannot reinforce in time! We only need to be prepared for HD The reinforcements that come are enough!" Zhou Weihan analyzed.

"You can let the Xinyi Regiment and the 28th Regiment operate near the Hanchang Highway, so as to attract HD's defenders!" Zhao Gang suggested.

"Well, wait a little longer, sharpen the knife and cut the firewood by mistake, and see what the local comrades and the intelligence from the reconnaissance company bring!" Zhou Weihan said calmly.

"When we move, the surrounding Japanese troops have to follow suit. I want to see if we can mobilize the Japanese troops in Changzhi?"

"Changzhi?"

"Yes, there is an airfield of the Japanese army there, right under our noses, do you think I can forget about it?" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
