Chapter 116 The first news from the telegram!
"Abandon Yu County?"

In the First Army Headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka also sighed after receiving the report from Kotani Matsubaraeda.

Insufficient troops and lack of time could only save one county, which even Shinozuka Yoshio was powerless to do.

More than 7 people in the First Army said it was correct.

But the Tongpu Line, the Baijin Line, and the Zhengtai Line are three railways, covering a total of 16 kilometers. The area of ​​​​more than 7 square meters of highways, [-] people is seriously insufficient.

On average, there are only 70 people per kilometer of railway.
There are less than half a person per square kilometer.

First, a brigade was severely damaged and its organization was cancelled, and then an infantry regiment was annihilated. Adding the losses in the previous three months, more than 5000 Locust troops were destroyed.

Under such circumstances, it is already good that he can mobilize 500 people to stay there.

And with [-] troops, it is true that they can only save one county town. If they continue to divide their troops, they may be surrounded and annihilated by Tubal Road!

"Order No. 20 Ninth Brigade to fully reinforce Wuxiang."

The helpless Shinozuka Yoshio agreed to Kotani Matsubarada's suggestion to abandon Yu County.

In comparison, Wuxiang is obviously more important than Yuxian.

After all, the Baijin Railway, which starts from Qishan County on the edge of the Jinzhong Basin, passes through Wuxiang, Qinxian, and Lixian, passes through Changshi, and finally reaches Jincheng, passing near Wuxiang.

Yu County was captured by Tuba Road, which only allowed Tuba Road to completely open up the east-west communication line of Taiyue Mountains.

But if Tuba Road is allowed to capture Yu County, it will not only open up the east-west transportation line in Taiyue Mountain, but even cut off the Baijin Railway for a long time.

"Hi!"

The staff officer went to execute it immediately.

"The [-]th Brigade cannot be allowed to occupy Liao County."

After the staff officer left, Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the map on the table, a sharp light flashing in his pupils.

The purpose of the prison plan is to divide the Tubal Road base area to prevent them from bordering each other and becoming one.

Now, the Taiyue Mountain District has taken over Yu County and opened up the east-west communication line. It has even taken over Liao County and opened up the communication line with the Taihang base area. This is absolutely not allowed.

just,

After saying the harsh words, Yoshio Shinozuka finally sat back silently on the Grand Master's chair.

At present, there is no detailed assessment of the strength of the Tubal Road entrenched in the Taiyue Mountains.

According to current speculation, if we want to ensure victory in attacking Liao County where the [-]th Brigade is stationed, we need to send out a second-class division.

That is [-] locust troops.

The First Army does not have the ability to temporarily mobilize [-] locust troops. Even with the assistance of the North China Front Army, it will take more than a month.

Moreover, it will take about two months to raise the [-] locust troops, the supplies needed for long-term operations, and the ammunition consumed during the battle.

···
at the same time.

North review.

Wulibao, a temporary contact point located on the remote edge,

Three intelligence officers were having a small gathering,
In the enemy's rear area, the gathering of three people was already the largest. If today's news was not so important and surprising, it would not have been possible for three people to gather.

On the table between the three of them, there was a copy of the latest Xinhua Newspaper.

Although the incident had already happened on the first day, Xinhua News Agency published the news of Xiazhuang's annihilation of Shandao Regiment and the seizure of its flag on the front page and printed it as a special issue.

But it was limited by the speed of communication in this era and the suppression of the Japanese and preserved fruits.

Five days passed before the comrades of the Peking Review received the good news.

"Annihilate a Japs regiment and seize the Japs regiment flag."

Faced with such great news, the person in charge of the contact point who was always calm and composed, Vincent, couldn't help but wave his hands vigorously to vent his inner excitement.

"Great!"

A comrade opposite was equally excited.

Even though he had known the news for a long time, he still couldn't calm down the excitement in his heart.

In that photo, Li Yunlong was holding a ghost-headed sword and a submachine gun, stepping on the corpse of the Japanese commander and stepping on the Japanese army flag. The impact was too strong.

"No wonder!"

After suppressing his joy, the third comrade suddenly said:
"I saw a statement in the Japanese newspaper before that it was false that the coalition flag was seized. The Shandao coalition flag had been burned before it was broken into pieces."

"I was still thinking about who killed another Japs unit, but I didn't expect it to be our own troops."

"The little devil seems unwilling to admit that the coalition flag has been captured."

The stationmaster of Wulibao Contact Point sneered.

With the arrogance of the little devils in the domestic army, if they do not admit that the coalition flag was captured, but admit that the coalition flag was annihilated, that is basically equivalent to admitting that the coalition flag was captured.

but··
"The printing quality in the base area is too poor."

Looking at the newspaper on the table, Vincent frowned.

The newspaper printing press used by Xinhua News Agency is very old and lacks parts, so the printing quality is very poor. People and equipment can be seen in the photo, but for a flag, the expressiveness is seriously insufficient.

They can know that the Japanese are lying and denying reality.

But it’s hard to say what ordinary people who don’t know the truth and other people will think when they look at this blurry photo.

The publicity was poor.

"We have to find a way to buy a new rotary printing press, preferably with photoplate making equipment."

Vincent said.

"Just right."

The third comrade immediately said:
"Next month, a large-scale rotary printing press of the latest model produced in the United States will arrive at the port for unloading and arrive at Beiping. It comes with photographic plate-making equipment. It was originally going to be sold to the Japanese, but the Japanese wanted to lower the price, so they said no. , I plan to dry it for three months first.”

"The seller is looking for someone to take over."

"No one in this place will buy a large rotary printing press except the little devils."

"If we take action, we can get it at a very favorable price."

"how much is it?"

Vincent asked.

"Ten thousand oceans!"

The third comrade replied. "Ten thousand oceans!"

Vincent's brows suddenly frowned.

Rotary printing presses are notoriously expensive. The latest large-scale printing press, coupled with photographic plate-making equipment, sells for [-] yuan. It is really not expensive anymore, and can even be said to be very cheap.

But the entire Beiping intelligence agency of the army may not be able to collect a thousand oceans.

Not to mention ten thousand oceans!

"Go and ask that merchant and see if you can lower the price further."

Vincent made a prompt decision and assigned tasks:
"I'm going to collect funds, and I'll go to the contact point and ask the base area to see if the base area can think of something."

"By the way, have you found the location of the Japanese printing factory?"

Vincent led the topic to the task assigned to them by their superiors, to find the counterfeit currency manufacturing factory of the Japanese Dongxing Company.

"No, the Japanese are hiding very deep and there are no clues yet."

It's not that easy to find a factory where the Japanese are hiding.

"Keep looking!"

"I found it, don't do it yourself yet."

Vincent warned.

"Yes!"

"Fifty pounds of corn, fifty pounds of white flour, and ten pounds of pork suet."

Also at the same time.

Yangquan.

Contact point near Yao Kee Soy Sauce Shop.

Shopkeeper Yao Ji handed the grain he received from the transporter to Niu Wanlin.

"This··"

Looking at the food in front of him, Niu Wanlin was dumbfounded.

Next to him, Shen Sheng was also dumbfounded.

In fact, let alone the two new comrades Niu Wanlin and Shen Sheng, even shopkeeper Yao Ji was dumbfounded.

When he learned that he could apply for material subsidies for the sacrificed comrades, shopkeeper Yao Ji thought that his superiors would allocate some ordinary materials or a small amount of silver dollar subsidies.

But unexpectedly, the superiors actually asked the transporters to transport one hundred kilograms of grain and ten kilograms of pork suet.

All are imported in original packaging.

Nowadays, food prices are high. These good grains that can be stored for a long time can be sold for a lot of money, which is much more expensive than ordinary grains.

According to the secret letter from superiors, imported grain will be subsidized and distributed according to this amount in the future, and other comrades who died in the base area will also receive this amount.

Shopkeeper Yao Ji was greatly shocked.

"It seems that what was said in the newspaper before is correct. Our troops have really received a lot of supplies!"

Being able to transport one hundred kilograms of imported grain to Yangquan is enough to show that the base area has indeed received a large amount of imported grain.

"Incredible, where did it come from?"

Shopkeeper Yao Ji was puzzled.

It can give the superiors the confidence to subsidize the sacrificed comrades in the entire Taihang Base Area and Taiyue Base Area with one hundred kilograms of grain and ten kilograms of pork suet every three months, which means that the troops have received at least tens of thousands of tons of food.

And it can be obtained continuously.

But how did tens of thousands of tons of grain avoid being transported into the base area by the Japanese?

"No wonder!"

Hearing this, Niu Wanlin also suddenly realized:

"Let me just say, I often hear the Japanese say they are looking for some secret transportation passage. It is said that they have been looking for it for several months."

"It is said that the Japanese deputy chief of staff is also planning to come over to investigate this matter."

"What did I think it was!"

"It turns out to be a transportation channel for our troops."

Niu Wanlin happened to know some Japanese, but not much and could not translate enough, so he worked in the stables of the Japanese headquarters.

"Focus on this."

Shopkeeper Yao Ji's eyes narrowed, and he came to a conjecture that was theoretically correct but actually wrong:

"I suspect that the reason why our superiors asked us to keep an eye on these two Japanese chiefs of staff has something to do with this secret transportation channel."

"Yes!"

Niu Wanlin nodded solemnly.

···
that night,

At this time, shopkeeper Yao Ji has returned to the soy sauce shop and turned on the radio - this time of day is the time to accept orders.

A station that only listens but does not transmit is impossible to detect through the airwaves.

You got news!
Suddenly, shopkeeper Yao Ji's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up a pen to record

at the same time.

Headquarters,

"Everyone can take action and tell everyone about the reward for killing the Chief of Staff of the First Army."

The group at the headquarters looked at the encrypted messages from the independent group and the ticking high-power radio imported from abroad.

The expression is heavy.

They all know that if this news is sent out, countless passionate comrades will risk their lives for it and attack the Japanese Chief of Staff of the North China Front over and over again with their own flesh and blood.

But on the radio station, no one hesitated at all.

Eighteen million silver dollars a year.

As long as there is a chance to die with the Japanese Chief of Staff of North China, even they will not hesitate at all!
