Chapter 422 Night Attack on Heyuan County!
Lu Yingjun glanced at the watch on his hand.

He shouted in a low voice: "There is still half an hour before the arrival of the large troops, pay attention to vigilance!"

The patrol car has not returned to the gendarmerie for a long time, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of the devils.

The devil only needs to make a phone call to the gate of the city and ask about it to find something strange.

It's just that the new regiment can attack the county within an hour at most, so the problem is not too big, and everything is normal now.

Even if they are discovered by the devils, most of them are now wearing devils' military uniforms, and with their fluent Japanese, they are safe enough.

The Sword Squadron continued to hide in the alley, waiting for an opportunity.

……

Dagushan.

The 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army is stationed.

At the regiment headquarters, Chu Yunfei was about to undress and go to bed.

"Tuan Zuo, there is a situation!"

Fang Ligong, the chief of staff, hurried in with a hurried tone.

"Brother Ligong, what's the matter, tell me slowly, the sky won't fall." Chu Yunfei glanced at the reckless Fang Ligong, without any displeasure on his expression.

Fang Ligong is Chu Yunfei's right-hand man, and his military accomplishment is also very good.

"Tuan Zuo, something happened to Xin Yi Tuan." Fang Ligong said.

After seeing Chu Yunfei's expression, Fang Ligong continued: "Since yesterday afternoon, the Xinyi Regiment has been under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the so-called base area, even our intelligence personnel are not allowed to come out."

Chu Yunfei has his own intelligence system, which is quite accurate and timely.

This can be seen from the fact that Chu Yunfei quickly obtained information and reacted quickly when Yamamoto's secret service team raided Zhaojiayu Village in the original play.

The garrison method of the 358th regiment is different from that of the Eighth Route Army. The troops of the Eighth Route Army are mainly scattered and stationed in various villages.

The 358th regiment mainly concentrated its troops in a certain place, relying on supplies from the Jinsui Army Command.

Therefore, even if the devils and puppet troops only occupied county towns and towns, the territory of the 358th regiment did not expand, and they only stationed in the Dagushan area.

However, in the guerrilla areas of the Eighth Route Army, there were also many intelligence personnel from the 358th Regiment active.

Hearing this, Chu Yunfei had his hands behind his back, his eyes were full of thought, what the hell is Li Yunlong up to?
Not long after Xinyituan arrived in Northwest Shanxi, after two days Chu Yunfei was planning to go to Xinyituan to meet Li Yunlong and discuss with Li Yunlong.

This is something that can't be helped. Now that Li Yunlong's new group is too strong, Chu Yunfei doesn't dare to provoke him at will.

Even if Li Yunlong occupied Dagu Town, Chu Yunfei didn't dare to be dissatisfied.

As the saying goes, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, and with such a powerful force appearing in the northwest of Shanxi, Chu Yunfei was also on guard from the bottom of his heart.

What's more, Li Yunlong is a guy who doesn't play cards according to common sense.

"Apart from this, is there anything else?" Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong and asked.

"Not yet." Fang Ligong said, "However, I have sent scouts to the outskirts of the Eighth Route base area. If there is any situation, we will receive news soon."

At this moment, the phone on the table rang.

Chu Yunfei was close to the table, so he picked it up casually:
"Hey?"

"What did you say?"

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Yunfei lost all sleepiness.

"Tuan Zuo, is there any movement from the Eighth Route Army?" Fang Ligong asked with a change of expression.

Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "That's right, the frontier observation post called just now. According to the report of the scouts, the Eighth Route Army's Li Yunlong Department is mobilizing and deploying troops to the three counties of Heyuan, Ping'an and Anhua at the same time."

The telephone line of the 358th regiment could not be connected that far.

It will take time for the scouts to discover the situation before returning to the forward observation post to make a call.

Therefore, almost an hour had passed since the scouts discovered the movement of the Eighth Route Army.

"What?" Fang Ligong was shocked, "Xinyi Regiment is going to attack three counties at the same time?"

After a pause, Fang Ligong said with a full face of disbelief: "He, Li Yunlong, is only one group, why would he dare?"

The 358 members of the 5000th Regiment did not dare to attack a single county, and the Xinyi Regiment had not much more people than the 358th Regiment. How dare they attack three counties at the same time?
"Li Yunlong has always been eclectic in war, and he doesn't like to play cards according to common sense." Chu Yunfei said, "Give him an army, and he will dare to fight Taiyuan, and he really did it. One regiment fought three cities at the same time." There is nothing to make a fuss about in a well-fortified county."

"But he, Li Yunlong, only has one regiment after all." Fang Ligong said, "It must be enough to fight one of the counties, but it is definitely not enough to fight three counties."

"It's likely to be a lose-lose battle."

"Tuan Zuo, this is a good opportunity. Taking advantage of both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army, our 358th Regiment can take advantage of this..."

When he said the last sentence, Fang Ligong approached Chu Yunfei and lowered his voice very low.

Chu Yunfei squinted his eyes: "You mean to solve both the Eight Route Army and the Japanese army?"

Fang Ligong: "That's right, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"But we are allies after all." Chu Yunfei sighed.

"We are only friendly troops in name. The Eighth Route Army will be dealt with sooner or later. What's more, now Li Yunlong and Xinyituan are Principal Chang's confidantes."

Fang Ligong said: "As long as you can solve this serious problem of Principal Chang, you will have an unlimited future."

"Indeed, there will definitely be a battle between us and the Communist Army in the future, but it is definitely not now. Now that the country is in crisis, how can we shoot at our friendly army?"

Chu Yunfei waved his hands, his tone unquestionable.

To be honest, Chu Yunfei's heart was moved for a moment, and the American equipment in Li Yunlong's hand was too attractive.

From Chu Yunfei's point of view, putting so much sophisticated American equipment in the hands of the Eighth Route Army's muddy legs is simply a waste of money.

However, in the end, Chu Yunfei's rationality overcame his impulsiveness.

Fang Ligong's expression froze, and he extinguished the thoughts in his heart.

It is also very risky to do so. Even if it is done, it will either be reused or shot for destroying the national united front.

Chu Yunfei might be demoted and promoted after a period of time, and the other party's meritorious service is the one with a high probability of being blamed.

Chu Yunfei said: "Send scouts to pay close attention to the battle situation in Heyuan, Anhua and Ping'an counties, and report immediately if there is any situation!"

"Yes, group seat!"

Fang Ligong stood upright, turned and left.

After Fang Ligong left, Chu Yunfei lost all sleepiness, put on his military uniform again, and took Sun Ming to the battle hall.

……

"Commander, the situation has changed!"

In Heyuan County, at the headquarters of the gendarmerie, a Japanese army staff officer reported to the gendarmerie captain Ichiro Hirata, who was about to sleep.

"What happened?"

Hearing this, Ichiro Hirata frowned slightly.

Guizi Staff Report: "The Eighth Route has cut off all the roads and trails in and out of the mountain. The intelligence personnel of the Imperial Army in the Eighth Route bandit area have not returned since yesterday afternoon!"

"I just contacted the imperial army in Anhua County and Ping'an County, and the situation is the same with them!"

Hirata Ichiro's brows deepened immediately, and the old devil smelled something unusual.

Since the 120th Division, the main force of the Eighth Route, has left, the law and order in Northwest Shanxi has greatly improved in the past six months.

However, not long ago, the main force of the Eighth Route came from Northwest Shanxi. As soon as they arrived, they gave the Japanese army a big blow and occupied Dagu Town.

However, Hirata Ichiro doesn't have many troops in his hands, and the defense is still insufficient to attack.

So Hirata Ichiro endured it.

This time the Eighth Route Army actually blocked the road. Could it be that they wanted to catch spies in the base area?
Or are you going to make a big move?
Hirata Ichiro suddenly asked: "Is the patrol car back tonight?"

"not yet."

The devil's chief of staff replied.

"Close the city gate immediately, send additional patrolling and security forces outside the city, increase the intensity of patrolling and security, and report immediately if any abnormalities are found!"

Hirata Ichiro's voice was harsh.

He had already received information that the main force of the Eighth Route Army going to Heyuan, Anhua, and Ping'an counties this time was the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

This new regiment has always been so powerful that even the most elite troops of the Japanese army are difficult to deal with, let alone the third-rate troops in his hands.

What's more, the new commander of the First Army has not yet taken office, and the First Army is in a leaderless situation. Once the Eight Routes attack the county, there may not even be reinforcements.

"Hi!"

The devil's staff officer turned and left.

Ichiro Hirata was also completely sleepless, picked up the phone on the table, shook the handle quickly, and made two calls in a row.

Order the devils and puppet soldiers to stop sleeping immediately and go to the city wall to strengthen the defense of the city wall.

……

at the same time.

On a small road more than ten kilometers away from Heyuan County, the Eighth Route Army is marching in a hurry.

It's different from being unprepared for the direction of the Jinsui Army.

Before the big troops moved, the Xinyi regiment sent a large number of scouts to block Xiaolu, the main road to the county, to prevent the devil's spies from passing information back.

And cut off the telephone lines connecting each blockhouse and stronghold with the county seat.

Therefore, when Li Yunlong led his troops ten kilometers closer to Heyuan County, the devils still knew nothing about the actions of the Eighth Route Army.

However, five kilometers away from Heyuan County, devil strongholds and gun towers began to appear one after another.

As strong as a new regiment, it is impossible to take down strongholds and gun towers silently.

However, it is impossible for mere artillery towers and strongholds to withstand the front of the new regiment.

The devils and puppet troops who were in charge of defending the outer strongholds found a large number of main forces of the Eighth Route in front of them. They had just reported the situation to the county gendarmerie headquarters when they saw sharp whistling sounds in the sky, and a medium-sized stronghold was wiped out within a few minutes.

This was done by the first battalion of the new regiment, and then the main force of the first and second battalions of the new regiment swarmed towards the west wall.

The second battalion surrounded the other city walls.

The strongholds and gun towers set up by the devils outside the city were quickly destroyed.

Before the devils and puppet troops in the city understood what it was like, the Eighth Route Army completed the encirclement of Heyuan County with lightning speed.

However, this time Li Yunlong brought more than 2000 people, and the number of troops was insufficient, so he did not play the tactics of all main attacks.

The tactics of encircling three ques and one were used. Two companies in the first battalion were the main offensive, two companies in the second battalion were the main offensive, the other two companies were ambushing outside the city south, and the two companies were the reserve team.
