Chapter 298 Japanese Trap!

Half a month passed in a flash.

The Zhengtai Railway, which was destroyed by the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the Hundred Regiments War, was repaired and reopened to traffic after the Japanese engineers worked day and night for several months.

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi reported to Shinozuka Yoshio:
"After the Zhengtai Railway resumed its operation, a total of 4 trains departed from Shimen City to Taiyuan. Among them, 2 passenger cars and 2 coal trains were not attacked by the Eighth Route Army."

"Could it be that the Eight Routes haven't received information about military columns and ammunition supplies?"

Yoshio Shinozuka also frowned slightly, with thoughtful eyes.

Although reopened to traffic, Yoshio Shinozuka was still very cautious and did not immediately order the military train loaded with ammunition and supplies to depart.

Let's try to find out what countermeasures Eighth Road will take.

But there was no movement at all on the eighth road, which made Shinozuka Yoshio and Kusuyama Hideyoshi a little confused.

Nanshan Hideyoshi said: "According to the information from the various mobile brigades, during this period of time, some unidentified suspicious elements have appeared around their camps. They are likely to be scouts from the Eighth Route Army."

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "It's normal for the Eighth Route scouts to appear around the base of the Mobile Brigade. It would be abnormal if there were no Eighth Route Army scouts."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Kusuyama Hideyoshi echoed, "I just don't know if the Eighth Route Army is scouting our mobile brigade, or looking for a location to attack the military column?"

Yoshio Shinozuka gave Kusuyama Hideyoshi a surprised look, thinking that this brother is more suspicious than me, the commander.

However, this is a good thing for the imperial army. The more suspicious it is, the more trustworthy it is, and it also makes it impossible for the Eighth Route Army to take advantage of it.

Recently, Yoshio Shinozuka was under too much pressure, even to discuss such an important matter, there was not a staff member present by his side.

It's not that Yoshio Shinozuka is energetic and doesn't need the help of a staff around him, but that he doesn't know who else he can trust besides Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

"It's very simple to know whether the Eight Routes know the information about the military ranks." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Try the Eight Routes and you will know."

Nanshan Hideyoshi changed his expression slightly, and asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you mean...the bait is going to be sent out?"

"That's right!" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "At present, the Zhengtai Railway has resumed traffic, and the second batch of ammunition and supplies is coming soon. If this batch of ammunition and supplies is also stockpiled at Baoding and Shimen Railway Stations, if it is bombed by the Eighth Route If it is lost, then our First Army will suffer a great loss, don't forget, Li Yunlong has a mysterious special force in his hands."

Kusuyama Hideyoshi's eyes flashed sharply when he heard the words: "That's right, the special forces like to do this kind of work the most."

The two analyzed based on intelligence and Kazuki Yamamoto's investigation report.

The death sniper who killed 4 Japanese officers and 2 Japanese soldiers with three shots was probably from the mysterious special forces under Li Yunlong.

And the weapon that can cut a person into two pieces at a distance of 1.7 kilometers, it is impossible for Eighth Road to make it, it is a mysterious aid channel from Li Yunlong.

At present, with the intelligence capabilities of the Japanese army, even the detailed information about Li Yunlong is not clear.

Not to mention Chen Feng, who hadn't been seen a few times, only the name of Chen Feng and the method of aiding the eight roads were airdrops, and nothing else was found.

At this time, the Japanese military intelligence had already focused the investigation on Chen Feng's airport and the aid channel.

Nanshan Hideyoshi continued: "There is an old saying in China that eggs cannot be put in one basket. I think the ammunition and supplies of these three military columns should be transported to Taiyuan first."

Shinozuka Yoshio cheered up: "Mr. Kusuyama, you think so, then go and give the order."

"In addition, secretly send a message to the underground party to let Eight Route know that there will be a military column leaving Shimen City."

"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi paused and said, "Your Excellency Commander, I'll do it now."

At that moment, Kusuyama Hideyoshi walked quickly to the communication room.

When he arrived in the communication room, he put all the staff including Toshimatsu Kasai, the communication staff officer, on leave.

Later, telegraph personnel transferred from other places took over the work of the communication room.

Not long after, Kusuyama Hideyoshi's order was sent by telegram.

Then, Kusuyama Hideyoshi returned to the commander's office, paused and said, "Your Excellency, the order has been issued."

"Tomorrow at 10:[-], the first military train to deliver ammunition and supplies will depart from Shimen Railway Station."

"After arriving at Jingxing Railway Station, they stopped, and the military column in charge of bait departed from Jingxing County and headed for Taiyuan."

"In addition, an order has been issued to the super high class. The staff of the super high class will let the underground party of the Eighth Route know the news without leaving any trace."

"Also, the aviation fuel and aviation bombs required by the 9th Flying Squadron are all ready, ready to take off at any time to help."

"Yoxi!" Shinozuka Yoshio said happily, "The next thing is to see if Balu doesn't take the bait."

"Yes!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi said in a sullen tone, "If the eighth road is hooked, then the two imperial army elite brigades on the decoy train, more than 140 light and heavy machine guns, 24 anti-aircraft guns, and one every 10 kilometers The elite brigade of the Imperial Army, as well as the 1th Flying Squadron, will definitely make it a wonderful day for the Eighth Route Army."

"If the Eight Routes didn't take the bait, it would prove that we had a false alarm. The Eight Routes didn't know about the ammunition and supplies for the division battle at all. They didn't make preparations in advance, so we can transport them safely and boldly."

With only one day, it is absolutely impossible for the Eighth Route Army to be ready to rob military columns and transport so quickly.

It is not even possible to mobilize a large number of troops and civilians to reach the Zhengtai Railway, let alone reconnaissance of the terrain in advance, formulation of combat plans, and contingency plans.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Hideyoshi Kusuyama also took great pains to catch the eight-way fish this time.

Not only are 2 elite brigades, more than 140 light and heavy machine guns, and 24 anti-aircraft guns deployed on the decoy train.

Each compartment of the decoy train was reinforced with steel plates, so bullets could not pierce the steel plates outside, but the light and heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns inside could be shot outside through the shooting holes.

In addition, there is a Type 2 armored train and [-] armored vehicles escorting it.

There are also elite mobile brigades and aviation troops deployed on the Zhengtai Railway to support at any time.

This firepower, this level of support, Principal Chang would be silent even after seeing it, and Yan Laoxi would cry when he saw it.

If the eight routes come to rob this train, they will definitely suffer a big loss.

……

"Tomorrow at 10:[-] am, there will be a military column full of ammunition and supplies, leaving Shimen City for Taiyuan?"

The spy personnel of the devil's special high school passed on the information disclosed by the comrades on the hidden front to the headquarters without knowing the inside story.

After listening to the chief of staff's dictation, the boss narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the information in the chief of staff's hand.

"That's what the intelligence says." The chief of staff nodded, "Boss, are you doubting the authenticity of this information?"

"It's not suspicious." The boss waved his hand and said, "I just feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell."

The chief of staff thought for a moment when he heard the words: "This information may be false, or it may be true."

"How to say?" The boss asked with a blank look.

"Boss, your feeling is actually right." The chief of staff said: "Boss, think about it carefully. It has been more than half a month since the Japanese army's three trains transporting ammunition and supplies have arrived in Shimen City and Baoding. Comrades, I haven't received any news, but the devil's military train is about to start, and our comrades on the hidden front have received information, isn't this doubtful?"

"You mean." The boss asked in a deep voice, "Is this the information that the Japanese army deliberately passed on to us?"

"I can't rule out this possibility." The chief of staff nodded, "According to this analysis, either Shinozuka Yoshio is playing tricks under the lights, and deliberately spread information at this juncture, making us suspect that it is false information, and the fake show is true. Let the military trains transporting ammunition and supplies go to Taiyuan."

Following the words of the chief of staff, the boss said: "Either this is a trap, deliberately seducing our Eighth Route Army to take the bait."

The chief of staff smiled slightly: "Fortunately, we have special forces..."

"Li Yunlong sent a telegram saying that his special forces had infiltrated the Shimen Railway Station and Baoding Railway Station, and connected with our comrades working in the railway stations. Alright special mark."

"Moreover, Li Yunlong's special forces brought three artillery mirrors and set up a surveillance point 3 kilometers away from the train station."

"Whether it's the little devil playing tricks under the lights, or playing fishing tricks, they can't escape our eyes."

"Okay!" The boss looked satisfied, everything was under control, and said, "But we still have to order the 386th Brigade to prepare for the attack, just in case Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, plays tricks on us."

"it is good!"

At that moment, the chief of staff took out a pen and paper, and drafted a telegram to the 386 brigade.

The telegram detailed the enemy's intelligence, as well as the headquarters' guesses and orders, and then ordered the telegraph operator to send it out quickly.

……

In the middle of the Taihang Mountains.

Jinshan.

Several main regiments of the 386 brigade have arrived here for 2 days.

It is about 26 kilometers south of Niangziguan.

Moreover, it belongs to the sphere of influence of the Eighth Route Army base area, and it is difficult for devils to find large-scale garrisons here.

In addition to the main force, there are also a large number of militiamen from the Taiyue Military Region and a huge transport team.

Everyone only brought dry food for 6 days. If it took another 4 days, the devil's army column transporting ammunition and supplies would not have entered Shanxi.

The main regiment of the 386th Brigade and these militiamen, civilian men and transport teams had to return home without a feather.

After receiving the telegram from the headquarters, the brigade commander immediately ordered the troops to act according to the original plan, and the combat troops arrived at the designated location in the middle of the night that night.

Quietly waiting for the arrival of the devil army column.
