Age of Rebirth

Chapter 240: Taihang Annihilates Bandits ([-])

The information comes from the third detachment of the special warfare detachment. There are more than 100 people in this detachment. They disguised themselves as a group of bandits and mixed in with the large group of bandits. , Nearly a thousand people, less than three to fifty people, each reported their number one, chaotic all day long, killing a lot of people in private, it is a common thing, and on the surface, they can still maintain peace and live in peace.

According to intelligence, yesterday evening, the vanguard of two major forces joined the gang of bandits, bringing the total number of bandits following the escort to nearly 2, exceeding the number of escorts.

The reconnaissance learned that the newly joined armed forces came from two forces. One was more than 3000 people from the bandit Wang Ying's department active in the northern Chabei area, and the other was more than 5000 people led by Badalhu, the chief of staff of Li Shouxin's department, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Puppet Mongolian Army. The follow-up bandit troops are still marching on the Zhangbei grassland, stepping up their approach to the Taihang Mountain area, and it is expected to join the bandit group tomorrow night.

This was an unexpected situation. Li Shouxin and Wang Ying were bought by the Japanese and had been stationed in the northwest of Beiping, threatening the defense of Beiping and Tianjin. Now, they almost left their original site and went south urgently to participate in this operation of snatching weapons and medicines. If it is said that there is no Japanese leading this conspiracy, I would not believe it if I was killed. [

Tang Qiu felt alert in his heart, and he immediately sent an urgent telegram to the left-wing troops, the Su Jingfeng Department of the Second Independent Brigade, the Korean Railway Department of the Third Independent Brigade, and the Shen Jingshan Department of the Second Artillery Brigade attached to it, and he must send out reconnaissance troops to the Zhangbei Grassland, scouting the marching route of Li Shouxin and Wang Ying's follow-up troops, avoiding encounters with the enemy when they are caught off guard, and exposing the battle plan.

Near noon, the third special warfare unit sent another piece of information. The bandit chiefs attended a meeting, which was presided over by Badalhu, chief of staff of the puppet Mongolian army. According to the observation of the leader of the third special warfare unit, this person behaved , The way of speaking is extremely Japanese.

There were two bandit leaders who refused to accept the dispatch and were shot dead on the spot. The bandits under them mutinied immediately and were dealt with by Li Shouxin's troops on the spot. The means were extremely cruel. This deterred all the bandits and confirmed Badalhu's temporary leadership position. Obediently listen to his orders.

Badalhu's plan was to launch a full-line attack tomorrow evening after all Li Shouxin's troops arrived. Wang Ying's troops quickly left the Zhangbei Grassland and rushed to the east of the Xiaowutai Mountain area, from Taihuai to Shentangbao. The troops, and the main force of the bandits who followed behind, formed an encirclement trend, striving to wipe out the escorted independent division troops in the Xiaowutai Mountain area and snatch the weapons and medicines.

After reading the information, Tang Qiuli felt the seriousness of the matter. Li Shouxin and Wang Ying's gang joined the bandits, which greatly increased the strength of the bandits, especially Li Shouxin's troops, which were trained by the Japanese and were almost regular troops. The level of the bandits is not comparable to other scattered bandits. Although they are not as good as the independent division, they should not be underestimated. Driven by this group of armed forces with considerable combat effectiveness, the bandits' attacks must be crazy, and the pressure on the escort troops will increase sharply.

The bandits took the initiative to attack, which was beyond his expectation. Once the escort troops got entangled with the bandits, they would have to allocate part of their troops to protect the batch of weapons and medicines, and the troops who could participate in the battle were insufficient.

Moreover, Wang Ying's gang intercepted the area east of Xiaowutai Mountain, and adopted a posture of attacking the escort troops from east to west. Once the war broke out, they did not dare to ensure that the escort's weapons and equipment would not be lost. With the combat effectiveness and equipment of the first and second regiments of the Tongbatu Brigade, it is not a problem to defeat these bandits, but the losses of the troops will multiply.

In the Xiaowutai Mountain area, the plan to wipe out these bandits would come to nothing. The battle he had carefully arranged did not have a perfect ending. He secretly scolded the Japanese who pretended to be the Mongolian Badalhu, which was really sinister and vicious.

Coercing and driving these Chinese bandits as cannon fodder, and choking the independent division to death, the people who suffer are all Chinese, so what has he to do!If it succeeds, it will achieve its goal and reap the benefits of the fisherman. If it fails, it will retreat completely, with oil on its feet, leaving behind tens of thousands of bandits who are enemies with the independent division, looking for trouble everywhere.

The Japanese have good means, good intentions, and are despicable and shameful enough. What makes them angry is that these bandits are willing to be used by the Japanese for their own self-interest, completely unaware that they are just a pawn of the Japanese.

A more vicious move is that the Wang Ying gang intercepted the escorting troops on the way forward. The escort troops are now in a dilemma. Arriving at the scheduled location on time is an unknown.

If the escorting troops still follow the current marching speed, they will inevitably start a war with the main force of the bandits behind. The same problem, the troops on the two wings still cannot reach the designated position on time, and are in a stalemate with the bandits. The troops of the Independent Division approached, warned in advance, and exposed the intention of the battle. The bandits scattered like birds and beasts. The purpose of this battle also failed.

Tang Qiuli kept thinking in the room. Li Shouxin and Wang Yingbu's gang suddenly joined the battle situation, complicating the situation and exceeding the original concept of the battle. What urgently needs to be solved now is that Wang Yingbu, who was intercepting the escorting troops on the way forward, he The greatest threat to escort troops.

Without this batch of weapons and equipment, with the combat effectiveness of the sole brigade and the cavalry unit, it is more than enough to be a big bait, and it can also cooperate with the inside and the outside, and blossom in the middle.

To deal with Wang Ying's bandits, you can only use the troops you bring to Peiping. The location and distance are appropriate. Although the number does not reach 2000, you can barely use them to deal with Wang Ying's 3000 people. The key is to catch up with Wang Ying. In the front, before it enters the line from Taihuai to Shentangbao in the Xiaowutai Mountains, intercept and encircle it to ensure that there is no enemy in front of the escort troops, and this pocket rope can also be made.

In the afternoon, a piece of information came from the special warfare unit operating in the Hejian and Ziya River areas in North China. The Zhang Yinwu Department of the Hebei People's Army seemed to be interested in this batch of weapons and equipment. There were about 500 people in one of them. , under the leadership of his deputy chief of staff, has moved to the Xiaowutai Mountain area. Although he has no intention of joining forces with the bandits for the time being, his intention is worthy of vigilance and suspicion.

Tang Qiuli's head is two big. Could it be that this batch of weapons and medicine is so attractive that it attracts all the armed forces and local power factions in North China, and there are several groups of guests who want to eat for free for just one table meal? For lunch, are you really using the North China Independent Division as a fat sheep?

In fact, this is not what Tang Qiuli is most worried about. As far as the current nature of the Hebei civilian army is concerned, most of its subordinates are Communists. At this time, Zhang Yinwu appeared completely in the face of resisting Japan. The Eighth Route Army in North China is engaged in friction, and the face of anti-communist experts cannot be compared with bandits like Wang Ying.

But its intention is unclear, and it is not ruled out that these Communists took advantage of the chaos. Anyway, they think that this is the equipment of the national army, and the bandits made it, so they can't get it themselves?Instead of cheap bandits, it is better to hold this batch of equipment in the hands of the CCP and play a role in the future anti-Japanese battlefield. [

What Tang Qiuli was most worried about was the movement of the Japanese army in North China. This was the most uncertain factor. Since the controlled Li Shouxin and Wang Ying's troops could be dispatched, it was not ruled out that at the most critical moment in the Battle of Xiaowutai Mountain, the Japanese The possibility of people disguised and stabbed in the back of the troops.

It is entirely possible according to the degree of hatred and the way the Japanese hate themselves.

The situation became more and more complicated. This batch of weapons and medicines, like a piece of fat and oily meat, attracted all parties to salivate. Those who reap the benefits of fishermen have them, and those who sit and watch have them. The ideas of all parties are different, but the purpose is the same, that is, to swallow this batch of enviable equipment, just waiting for the opportunity, like a pack of hungry wolves, staring at the blood-red eyes , at any time, jump up and take a bite.

The irony is that the bandits also chose the Xiaowutai Mountain area as their expected battlefield. It seems that that place is really a treasured place of geomantic omen.

Tang Qiuli observed the pre-set battlefield for a long time, forming plans one by one in his mind, and was constantly denied. All plans cannot be guaranteed. On the premise that the weapons and equipment will not be lost and the escort troops will not suffer heavy casualties, all plans will be released. Annihilated more than 2 bandits and Li Shouxin's puppet Mongolian army.

He was once again troubled by his troops. Even though they had reached more than 7 people, their strength was still insufficient. According to the law of war, they encircled them five times and annihilated them ten times. Use, the strength is slightly weak.

He once again considered whether his appetite was too big. He wanted to swallow more than 2 bandits in one gulp, which was beyond the capabilities of the troops. The opportunity was rare, and it was difficult for him to choose to give up. in danger.

Since it was not something that his own family could complete, he had no choice but to dispatch troops from the 29th Army. From his heart, he was really reluctant to do so, and the reasons were complicated.

He had no choice but to connect Song Zheyuan's phone first, and explained to him in detail what happened and the dangers encountered by this batch of weapons and equipment. The sophisticated Song Zheyuan immediately understood Tang Qiuli's meaning.

Brother Tang encountered a difficult situation. With so many armed forces targeting the troops of the Independent Division, he didn't have enough troops, so he needed to mobilize troops from the 29th Army.

At the same time, Song Zheyuan's heart surged with anger. This batch of equipment and medicine was given to his own troops. I, a big boss in the Pingjin area, took it seriously and bullied the 29th soldier?If the tiger doesn't show its power, treat me Song Zheyuan as a sick cat!

It is a matter of course to dispatch troops for public and private purposes. Song Zheyuan weighed the pros and cons in his heart. It is not his fault that he was tempted. After many years of military service, he cherished his family property even more.

Capital is limited, and he is most afraid of consumption. In this regard, he has been fooled by Lao Jiang. Although he wants to entrust the army to Tang Qiuli, he still weighs it according to his inertial thinking.
