Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 554 Devil Chief of Staff: Your Excellency, Commander, Who Found the Japanese Annihilation!
Not only Yan Laoxi and the chairman, but also General Wei Junru, the commander-in-chief of the first theater of Zhongtiaoshan, also received news of the attack on Wusu Airport.

Compared with the mixed emotions of Yan Laoxi and the chairman after hearing the news, the mood of General Wei Junru, who is dedicated to resisting Japan, is obviously much simpler.

He was simply excited by the impressive results achieved by the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and immediately electrified the entire theater to pass on this exciting news.

All of a sudden, the morale of the soldiers of the Central Army fighting against the enemy on the front line was greatly boosted...

The screen zooms to Xujiaao.

The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

With the smooth retreat of the Independent Second Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the Independent Regiment, the 386th Brigade focused on the remaining six large strongholds on the Shanxi section of the Zhengtai Railway and Shouyang County.

Last night, the Second Independent Regiment and other departments not only successfully destroyed the Wusu Military Station and Wusu Airport, but also severely damaged the Japanese Independent Mixed Second Brigade and other departments that went out of the city for reinforcements.

In addition, the 772 and 771 regiments also successively captured the Yin Lingzhi stronghold and the Nanyanzhu stronghold.

Therefore, although all the brigade chiefs stayed up all night, they were not sleepy because they were too excited.

At this moment, there was another rush of hoofbeats outside the door, followed by a neighing sound, and the hoofbeats stopped abruptly.

"Cavalry correspondent, is there another regiment that also took down a certain devil's stronghold?"

With that said, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang stood up and walked out the door.

After a while, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang turned back, but the previous excitement was gone on his face.

The deputy brigade commander asked: "Old Wang, what's the matter? Could it be some bad news?"

Deputy Chief of Staff Wang: "It's not bad news, but it's not good news either."

After a pause, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang changed the subject and continued: "According to the report of the frontline scouts, the Japanese and puppet troops in the remaining 6 strongholds headed towards Shouyang under the cover of Devil Aviation just after dawn. Withdrew in the direction of the county seat.

It is estimated that by one o'clock in the afternoon at the latest, all these Japanese and puppet troops will be able to withdraw into the county seat. "

The deputy brigade commander frowned slightly: "This is really not good news. Although our offensive has been fierce these days, it actually only consumed the ammunition of the devils and did not cause much casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold. .”

"In these strongholds, there are as few as five or six hundred garrison troops, and as many as thousands.

If they are scattered, it may not be difficult for us to destroy them one by one, but if we let them join forces and want to destroy them all, it will not be so easy. "

"Moreover, once it is successfully withdrawn into Shouyang County, the garrison force in Shouyang County will suddenly increase to more than 8000 people.

At that time, the difficulty for us to win Shouyang County will definitely increase greatly! "

When the deputy brigade commander said this, the rest of the people also nodded heavily in agreement.

The chief of staff thought for a moment, and said: "What the deputy brigade commander said is very reasonable, if these Japanese and puppet troops are allowed to withdraw into Shouyang County smoothly, it will be very detrimental to our next actions.

So, should we send troops to intercept and kill these Japanese and puppet troops halfway?
Today, these Japanese and puppet troops are short of ammunition, and without the cover of gun towers and bunkers, it is still very likely that we will severely damage or even destroy them. "

The brigade commander said: "I think that the retreat of the Japanese and puppet troops into Shouyang County may not be a bad thing for us.

In this way, we can annihilate them all in one fell swoop, instead of dividing our forces and defeating them one by one as before. "

After a pause, the brigade commander changed the subject and continued: "As for what Deputy Brigadier Chen said, send troops to intercept and kill them halfway.

This is indeed a desirable method, and it will definitely be able to severely damage it, or even wipe it out.

But the premise is that these devils have no reinforcements. "

"But don't forget, they were withdrawing to Shouyang County under the cover of the air force. In this way, if we intercepted and killed them halfway, we would definitely be attacked by the devil's air force.

At that time, whether we can intercept and kill these Japanese and puppet troops in the middle is still a question, but it is inevitable that we will be severely injured by the Devils aviation. "

After the brigade commander finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, the threat of the Devil Aviation to the Eighth Route Army is too great, especially in the daytime.

In the face of the Devil's tanks, the Eighth Route Army may also organize death squads to go forward and blast them, or use the terrain to restrict them.

But in the face of the devil's aviation, the Eighth Route Army can be said to have no countermeasures.

Even if one or two enemy planes can be shot down occasionally, it is only because the enemy carelessly underestimates the enemy and controls the enemy plane to fly too low.

After a moment of silence, the deputy brigade commander said again: "Brigade commander, shall we allow these Japanese and puppet troops to withdraw into Shouyang County?"

The brigade commander said with a smile: "Didn't I just say that the retreat of the Japanese and puppet troops into Shouyang County may not be all bad things for us.

At least we don't need to divide our troops any more, and we have a chance to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Moreover, we have already had the experience of successfully conquering county towns. "

"The city defense fortifications in Shouyang County are not even as good as Yangquan, and far worse than Jinzhong.

We can even take down Jinzhong County. Isn't it easy to fight Shouyang?
What's more, the artillery dismantled from the armored train is still in our hands. "

Deputy brigade commander: "You mean, let Zhuzi be the former enemy commander who attacked Shouyang County?"

Brigadier: "Pillar is indeed a suitable candidate."

……

The time came to 12 noon.

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

As soon as Shinozuka Yoshio woke up, Chief of Staff Toshi Miyano hurried over and said, "Report! Your Excellency Commander, the spy has been found!"

Yoshio Shinozuka's expression darkened, and he asked, "Who is it?"

Miyano Jun: "It was Sun Dayi, the chef of the headquarters, who reported the news to the Eighth Route Army headquarters. We found a miniature radio station in Sun Dayi's room."

Shinozuka Yoshio breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the spy was not Japanese, and then realized the troops, frowned and said, "Sun Dayi is just a cook, how could he have access to these secrets?"

Miyano Jun: "According to the investigation of the special high school, Sun Dayi met Iijima Mori twice in the latrine yesterday afternoon.

Then, I secretly searched and found 10 large yellow croakers at Mori Iijima's residence. "

"Iijima-kun?" Yoshio Shinozuka was taken aback, and then he said incredulously: "Impossible! I have known Iijima-kun for many years, and he has been working hard all these years, and he is even more loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the empire. It is absolutely impossible to betray His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan!"

Jun Miyano said helplessly: "Your Excellency, Commander, I also really don't want to believe that Mori Iijima will betray His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, but the fact is true. Throughout yesterday, only Mori Iijima and Sun Dayi had contact alone .”

Shinozuka Yoshio: "Did you get this news from Sun Dayi?"
