Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 45: The Untrusted Puppet Army

Most of Chen Baozhong's smile disappeared immediately.

He glanced outside the shop, and then with a very serious and even panicked expression, he whispered: "Captain Li, why are you here in person?"

Chen Baozhong knew about the new leader of the new regiment.After all, they are troops stationed next to the county seat, and there are many cases of cooperation between the two parties.But Chen Baozhong never thought that the new regiment leader would appear directly in front of him and risk his life.

"The Japs are crazy, can I not come in person?" Li Yunlong sighed: "In the past two days, all the Japs in the Wudong stronghold have come out, killing people and burning the village, and then retreated towards the county. I came here to know about the Japanese puppets in the county. The specific movements and strength distribution of the army.”

"What does this thing do, you ask?" Chen Baozhong's puzzled expression gradually turned into excitement: "The [-]th Brigade is going to attack Wuxiang County?"

"Yes, the devils can come when they want, leave when they want, and kill when they want? That's what he thinks!" Li Yunlong smiled and nodded.

Although I don’t know what Chen Baozhong thought of, since he has figured out the reasonable process and convinced himself, there is no need for Li Yunlong to correct him: "I was the first to arrive. The Japanese in the Wudong stronghold have been I'm stuck outside the city, and I plan to eat these bastards in one bite!"

"Great!" Chen Baozhong clenched his fist, then reached out to open a hidden compartment on the counter, took out a piece of paper and spread it out.

"This is a map of the county seat. The Japanese barracks are here in the east of the city. They urgently built three bunkers at these locations and installed heavy machine guns inside. There is also an artillery inside. The puppet troops are on the other side, at the west end of the city."

Chen Baozhong clicked three points on the edge of the Japanese barracks with his fingers, which was the approximate location of the bunker.Two bunkers take care of the north and south, and one bunker points directly to the puppet army camp in the west.

The Japanese did not trust the puppet troops. Even if they were both stationed in the city, they would choose different barracks and even build a bunker to target them.This situation is not uncommon, otherwise the little devils would not be so anxious to raise dogs and open military schools to train officers for the puppet army.

"According to the information we got from the puppet army, the Japanese and the puppet army are about to withdraw in the next few days. They robbed a lot of things in the past two days, and today they are all in the barracks. They are probably packing their things and preparing to leave. .”

"As for the strength of the troops, there are about 650 people. Among them, the Japanese have two squadrons, a fully reinforced squadron, and a squadron that has been disabled and temporarily repaired here. There are nearly 300 people. The rest are puppet troops. In terms of firepower, As I just said, three heavy machine guns and one artillery piece."

Li Yunlong frowned.He looked at the three bunkers in the Japanese barracks, and then at the location of the puppet barracks.It's not easy to escape unscathed after causing trouble in the city in broad daylight.

Just when Li Yunlong was about to say something, the waiter outside the door suddenly said: "Someone is here!"

Chen Baozhong directly folded the map and stuffed it into Li Yunlong's hand. Li Yunlong reacted quickly and stuffed the map into his pocket, then took out the cigarettes he just bought, took one and lit it with a match, then turned around and left the store with Wang Yi. .

A set of movements is like flowing water, smooth and natural.Especially when he takes a puff of cigarette and puts it into his mouth, the feeling of satisfaction on his face is something that even if he is not a long-time smoker, he can't fake it.

"Boss, where are we going next?"

The two walked out of the grocery store and continued to wander aimlessly.Although the person who just entered the store was just an ordinary person, not a Japanese puppet soldier, but now that he returns, it is still a bit too conspicuous.

"Go and see if the people I hired have arrived,"

Li Yunlong didn't just bring Wang Yi into the city.At this moment, almost 20 soldiers, disguised as ordinary people, sneaked in.Even these soldiers carry pistols.This is not because the Japs were not on guard against the Eighth Route Army's "invisibility technique". The main reason was that the puppet squad leader guarding the city gate today was one of his own, and he let people in without checking on purpose.The puppet soldiers in that class thought the squad leader wanted to be lazy today...

It has to be said that the Japanese's precautions against the puppet troops still make sense.

The two went around and around and finally walked into the City God's Temple.This Chenghuang Temple was burned down by the Japanese army last year. Although it received some repairs, it eventually fell into disrepair. On weekdays, not many people come. Only some beggars are willing to make a nest here.

Now, more than twenty soldiers are hiding here, some of them are on guard, and others are cleaning their guns or resting their minds.

Seeing Li Yunlong coming, two people immediately came over: "Captain, everyone is here and they have all sneaked in. What are you doing next? Please give instructions."

"Next, have a good rest and wait until night to launch the attack. If the main force of the Japs leaves the city soon, you can also take advantage of the emptiness in the city to do something. However, we must minimize casualties and put the safety of the soldiers first."

"Don't worry, Captain, we are veterans, we will definitely not die in vain."

Li Yunlong nodded and took out the map he just got: "Look, there are three bunkers in the Japs barracks, equipped with heavy machine guns, and it is said that there is also an artillery. Even if the main force leaves, it is almost impossible for the twenty or so of you to take it down. Possibly. But it will be easier to deal with the puppet army..."

After several people discussed it, Li Yunlong led the guards out of the city again and went straight to the new regiment's position.

In the Japanese army camp in Wuxiang County, Imagawa Hongichi stood up and slapped his hand on the table: "What did you say? There was fierce gunfire ten miles away to the east of the city?"

"Yes, and it lasted for a long time, especially the gunfire, which was extremely intense." The Japanese who came to report lowered their heads: "In addition, it is said that there are also gunfire sounds further east, and they started yesterday. With..."

The Japs' intelligence network was severely restricted in Wudong, and the fierce fighting made many pedestrians choose to take a detour.Therefore, it was not until this morning that the news of the large-scale fighting in Wudong reached the county.The Japanese also reported it immediately after learning about it.

"Shili, Shili! Do the Eighth Route Army look down on me?" Imagawa Hongichi shouted.

Wudong's troops did not withdraw to the designated location on time. Imagawa Hiroshi had already guessed, but he was unable to obtain effective information and was unable to do anything.But he really didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would dare to cause trouble ten miles away from the county seat.It's just a cold shot at this distance, but the Eighth Route Army actually dared to set up positions to block...

This is treating him as a dead person!

He was angry, but as an excellent commander, he quickly realized his emotions and forced himself to calm down: "Order the squadron to go out of the city to fight immediately! The heavy machine guns and infantry guns are too heavy, so the artillery team and heavy machine gun team will Don't join, stay in the city to maintain stability. Inform Captain Yasui that when I go out to fight in the city, he will make all decisions in the city."

"In addition, let Commander Zhong bring 150 people... no, bring 250 people with me."

Imagawa Hongichi still couldn't trust the puppet army.
