Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1212 The Disappeared Caravan (Second Update!)

"Division Commander, Hongyuan Town reports that our first transaction with the Jinsui Army has successfully concluded, and the troops are escorting food back to Linfen City!" The chief of staff who hurried into the war room reported excitedly when he saw Fujino .

Fujino obviously let out a long breath before answering: "Finally there is food!"

"Hongyuan Town is only more than 20 kilometers away from Linfen City. Although it is an area occupied by the imperial army, it is not ruled out that there will be accidents! Order the logistics team to speed up. Only when we reach Linfen City will the food truly belong to us!"

"Also, now that we have food, ammunition, and troops assembled, I'm going to launch a retaliatory attack on the new regiment in the next few days!"

"My idea is that this time we will attack differently from the previous attacks and sweeps!"

"Division commander, do you already have an attack plan?" the chief of staff asked immediately!

Lieutenant General Fujino nodded and replied: "Yes, this time I want to change the previous passive situation. The imperial army must take the initiative on the battlefield and force the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army to fight us!"

"Also, isn't the Eighth Route Army good at ambushing us and cutting off our logistics? This time, we must not give them this chance!"

"So, for this attack, all combat troops must carry at least one month's combat supplies. Chief of Staff prepares for this, and gathers the combat supplies needed by the troops as soon as possible!"

"As for the rest, I will prepare. Also, for this attack, we don't have any action plan or attack route, only the attack target!"

For the chief of staff, it is very dangerous to be unprepared for a battle, or even have no direction of attack.

As soon as he was about to raise his concerns, Lieutenant General Fujino, the head of the division, interrupted: "We have always followed the rules to sweep the base areas of the Eighth Route Army. After a long time, the Eighth Route Army has already figured out our routine, and every time we do it by surprise, Either attack us in an ambush or cut off our logistical supplies!"

"This time, I decided to do the opposite and hit the Eighth Route Army by surprise!"

"Don't they like to cut off our logistics supplies to force us to retreat and end the sweep? Then I will bring enough logistics supplies this time. There is really not enough in the middle. Contact the front army to send out air troops to drop us!"

"As for food, after entering the Eighth Route Army base area, we can eat wherever we go. Since those ordinary people chose to support the Eighth Route Army, then we have to make them pay the price. Burning, killing, looting, this is our way of revenge!"

"Don't the Eighth Route Army still like to ambush us on the way we must pass? Then we will not plan the marching route. After entering their base area, according to the actual situation, we can attack in whichever direction we want to attack!"

"At that time, no matter how many troops the Eighth Route Army gathers, they won't be able to find us, they won't know our tactics, and they won't find a chance to ambush us!"

The chief of staff has a feeling of enlightenment.

Although those worries in my mind still exist, another idea also pops up!

"Division commander, your idea may be right. To deal with a cunning opponent like Xinyituan, perhaps we should use unconventional methods to attack them by surprise!"

"Humble job, make arrangements now! Gather the supplies and ammunition supplies needed for the troops to dispatch as soon as possible!"

At three o'clock in the morning, the checkpoint less than ten kilometers away from Linfen City reported that the convoy transporting grain had passed their checkpoint.

The chief of staff who stayed on duty has been guarding the war room. He knows the importance of this batch of food as well as the division chief.

He couldn't sleep even if he was lying in bed without watching the food go into storage with his own eyes.

"Has the convoy reached the city gate yet?" At 04:30 in the morning, the chief of staff finally couldn't help asking.

"Not yet!" A staff officer on duty put down the phone and replied.

"The city gate guard reported that there is no sign of the convoy outside the city?"

"It shouldn't be!" The Chief of Staff frowned!

"The checkpoint is only ten kilometers away from the city gate. Even if the convoy climbs, it should climb two or three kilometers outside the city in one and a half hours. They are all holding torches, and the city wall guards are condescending, so they should be able to see them!"

"Is there something wrong?" the staff officer asked in a low voice.

The chief of staff shook his head and replied, "There's not even a gunshot, so what can go wrong!"

"Besides, it's so close to Linfen City, even if there are guerrillas from the Eighth Route Army, they can't help us with a full supply team!"

"In this way, you can confirm with the checkpoint again, whether the convoy passed through their checkpoint an hour and a half ago!"

Soon, the staff officer who made the call put down the microphone and replied after a moment of hesitation: "Sir, they confirmed that the convoy passed through the checkpoint an hour and a half ago!"

"Then why haven't you arrived in Linfen City yet!" The Chief of Staff frowned instantly into a big "Chuan".

Then he ordered: "Well, send a cavalry squad and go out of the city to respond immediately. Remember to bring the radio and report the situation immediately!"

After the combat staff officer left, the frowning chief of staff couldn't calm down all of a sudden, and walked around the war room with a sullen face, using it to vent his inner anxiety.

In less than half an hour, a communications staff officer rushed over with a serious expression on his face.

The chief of staff's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came out of his mind.Before he had time to speak, the communications staff officer reported first.

"Sir, the cavalry team reported that they have been looking for the checkpoint but have not found the convoy!"

"Nani? How is that possible?" The chief of staff was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground.

Then he stared at the other party and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, immediately send a telegram to the cavalry squad and order them to search along the ruts, and they must find those grains!"

As soon as the communications staff officer walked out, the chief of staff followed suit, muttering to himself as he walked.

"So much food, such a large convoy, how could it suddenly disappear..."

"This matter is too big, we must report to the division commander immediately!"

At the headquarters of the World War II zone, Chief Yan also did not rest.

Dealing with the Japanese, no matter whether it is successful or not, once the news leaks out, the two hats of traitor and enemy will definitely not escape.

Therefore, after making the transaction decision, in order to avoid accidents, Chief Yan decided to personally sit at the headquarters and watch the transaction go through smoothly.

Of course, the weapons and ammunition that are about to be obtained are also very important to Chief Yan.

In the past few years, the Jinsui Army has suffered a lot of losses, although they have used their family resources to reorganize many new troops.But the formation speed of troops is not as fast as the loss speed on the battlefield.

Now, the Jinsui Army, the direct line of troops in my hands, is less than half of what it was before the full-scale resistance against Japan, and only 10 people remain.

More importantly, the weapons he brought out from Taiyuan are gone.

And Chongqing has always had the idea of ​​suppressing and crowding out local troops, and relying on them to replenish its own weapons and expand the Jinsui Army does not even have to think about it.

Since the road in Chongqing is impossible for him to walk, Chief Yan can only rely on himself.Obviously, in the whole of North China, only the devils have the weapons and ammunition they urgently need!
