Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 165 On the eve of Qian Bojun's betrayal, the dark tide surges
the other side.

Zheng Qianyi also returned to Heyuan County and reported the news of Qian Bojun's acceptance to Ichiro Hirata.

"Yo Xi!"

Ichiro Hirata was overjoyed when he heard the news, and said: "Mr. Zheng, you are really the best friend of my Great Japanese Empire, our Great Japanese Empire will definitely not treat you badly!"

"However, in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, I still need to trouble you to go to Lijia Town again and tell Brigadier Qian that I will mobilize heavy troops to attack the 358th Regiment's defense area early tomorrow morning to create conditions for him to lead his troops to leave Lijia Town. "

Although Zheng Qianyi had already told Qian Bojun about this before, but in order to be safe, Hirata Ichiro felt that it was necessary to inform Qian Bojun again.

"It is my honor to serve the Imperial Japanese Army!"

Before Zheng Qian had time to catch his breath, he immediately rushed to Heyuan County and headed towards Lijia Town.

……

eight pm.

The company commanders of the independent battalion finally arrived at the headquarters of the independent battalion.

Wang Chengzhu, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, looked around and said, "I believe you must be curious, why did I suddenly call you all to the battalion headquarters?"

Everyone nodded.

Wang Chengzhu asked himself and answered: "The reason is very simple, Qian Bojun can't sit still for a long time, and he is about to turn his back on the enemy!"

"This morning, the traitor Zheng Qianyi went to Lijia Town secretly again. When he came out of Qian Bojun's battalion, Qian Bojun, Zheng Qianyi, and Zhang Fugui all had faces that were different from last time. smile, so it is not difficult to judge that their conditions should have been negotiated."

"Moreover, after sending Zheng Qianyi away, Qian Bojun summoned his confidants and held a secret meeting."

"Although I don't know the content of their meeting, I think it must have something to do with their betrayal plan."

"So, if nothing unexpected happens, Qian Bojun will rebel in the last two days."

"It could be tomorrow, or it could be the day after tomorrow."

"Here is a map of the distribution of Qian Bojun's troops, take a look."

As he said that, Wang Chengzhu took out the troop distribution map drawn by Tang Ziyi, and motioned for everyone to come over and watch.

When everyone had finished watching, Wang Chengzhu pointed to the map and said, "Look, although the troops of Qian Bojun's troops are not concentrated in Lijia Town, they are deployed in several nearby towns and important checkpoints, but if they If you want to turn against the tide and join the enemy, you will definitely go to Lijia Town and join the Battalion Commander Qian Bojun."

"And what we have to do is to control them all before they complete their assembly!"

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed his voice, and continued, "Now let me arrange specific combat tasks."

"The reconnaissance company is in charge of intelligence and reconnaissance. It will be dispatched tonight and pass through the night to watch the movements of Qian Bojun's various companies. If there is any change in Qian Bojun's department, come back and report to me immediately!"

"In addition, the second company is responsible for controlling the second company of Qian Bojun's department, the third company is responsible for controlling the third company of Qian Bojun's department, the fourth company is responsible for controlling the fourth company of Qian Bojun's department, and the fifth company is responsible for the fifth company of Qian Bojun's department. "

"As for the first company and the artillery company stationed in Lijia Town, I will personally lead the first company and the special forces to deal with it!"

"There are 5 infantry companies in Qian Bojun's department, and our independent battalion also has exactly 5 infantry companies, and exactly one company controls one company in Qian Bojun's department!"

"In addition, the cavalry company serves as a reserve team and is responsible for guarding the raiding formation. What's more, when we start operations, the supply company must also act together to quickly clean up the battlefield and dispose of the captured spoils in the shortest possible time. Return to our defense zone."

After listening to Wang Chengzhu's deployment, Xu Hailang, the deputy battalion commander, said with some concern: "Battlemaster, the strength of Qian Bojun's troops exceeds 2000. As Yan Laoxi's direct ace troop, they are also extremely well-equipped, and their combat effectiveness is terrifying." Not much weaker than my Independence Battalion."

"If we are head-to-head like this, I'm afraid we may not be able to eat them all? Even if we can eat them, I'm afraid we will pay great casualties."

"So, should we concentrate our superior forces and attack Lijiazhen directly? As long as we control Qian Bojun, we can prevent his troops from delivering treason!"

Wang Shugen, Tian Shuisheng and others also followed suit: "Yes, yes, what the deputy battalion commander said makes sense!"

Wang Chengzhu smiled and said, "How about preventing Qian Bojun from defecting to the enemy? The proposal of the deputy battalion commander is of course the best choice!"

"However, my plan is not just to prevent Qian Bojun from defecting to the enemy, but to eat up the equipment of his battalion!"

"This is Yan Laoxi's direct lineage unit, ready to equip!"

"Since they don't use these equipment to fight devils, let our Eighth Route Army come!"

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed his voice, and continued: "Of course, the deputy battalion commander's worries are not unreasonable. Under normal circumstances, it would not be so easy for our independent battalion to eat up Qian Bojun's troops."

"However, after Qian Bojun defected to the enemy, the situation is different!"

"I believe that after all, those who voluntarily follow Qian Bojun to turn against the enemy are a small number of people, at most his confidantes. The rest of the soldiers are either deceived or coerced. How much combat power can such an army have?"

"As long as we make the matter of Qian Bojun's attempt to defect to the enemy public, and use the pretense of helping Chu Yunfei put down the rebellion, I believe it will be easy to control those soldiers under Qian Bojun's command!"

"They don't even need us to do it, they will have civil unrest themselves!"

After listening to Wang Chengzhu's analysis, Xu Hailang suddenly felt enlightened, his eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right, why didn't I think of this!"

Wang Chengzhu: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's go back and prepare immediately!"

"In addition, time is running out. The fourth company, the fifth company, and the supply company also need to be dispatched overnight to move closer to Qian Bojun's defense zone!"

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up and saluted.

Seeing that Battalion Commander Wang Chengzhu didn't arrange tasks for himself, Liu Qiang couldn't help but said anxiously: "Battalion Commander, what about our artillery company?"

Wang Chengzhu: "Although Qian Bojun wanted to defect to the enemy, the soldiers under him did not necessarily want to be traitors. Therefore, our counter-rebellion mainly focused on disarming and suppressing the rebellion, instead of eliminating them all like dealing with devils.

Therefore, there is no need to use heavy firepower weapons! "

"Your artillery company and reserve company are responsible for guarding the garrison, in case the devils take advantage of the loopholes!"

"Yes!"

Hearing what battalion commander Wang Chengzhu said, Liu Qiang could only nod his head in agreement.

……

After the meeting, Wang Shugen led the reconnaissance company into pieces, and penetrated through the defense area of ​​Qian Bojun's department overnight.

Xu Hailang, Tian Shuisheng, Chen Xi and Chen Xiao immediately returned to their company headquarters to prepare.

And Wang Chengzhu also led the Spike Special Forces, the Fourth Company, the Fifth Company, and the Supply Company, and marched towards Qian Bojun's defense area overnight.
