Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 69
What the chief of staff of the Japanese army did not expect was that because of his hesitation and hesitation, one day later, the situation in which Laiyuan was beneficial to the Japanese army suddenly became chaotic.

Under the blockade of the guard platoon, the Japanese soldiers who went to Wuzhen for investigation were killed almost every time they came.Waiting until the afternoon of the day, the Japanese chief of staff did not receive any useful news.

The direction of Shuiquan Village is the same.

Because it is unclear how many Eighth Route Army troops are hidden in Shuiquan Village, and the Japanese army in Laiyuan City has limited troops, there are fewer troops going to Shuiquan Village to investigate, and they were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army blockade before entering the village.

There are too many, and I am worried that I will be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and the whole army will be wiped out.After all, the Eighth Route Army took a few minutes to wipe out the strength of an elite infantry squadron of the Imperial Army.

After losing many elite scouts yesterday, despite Ono's request to intensify the scouting of Shuiquan Village.However, the chief of staff did not send valuable soldiers of the imperial army.Instead, they ordered the puppet army to put on the clothes of ordinary people, and sent people to Shuiquan Village to find out the situation.

Many puppet soldiers don't really want to work for the devils.Facing the Eighth Route Army that suddenly appeared around them, the puppet army dressed in civilian clothes directly admitted their identity as a puppet army, and then handed over their weapons and surrendered, without any thought of resistance.

Zeng Quan, who originally thought that staying in Shuiquan Village would not gain much, was already smiling because he was satisfied with the result at four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

More than 20 Mauser pistols and more than 80 puppet soldiers were captured. This is the result of Zeng Quan's battle in one day.

Whether it is a Mauser pistol or a prisoner of the puppet army, it is urgently needed by the Independence Battalion.Zeng Quan was confident that after sending these harvests to the instructors, it would only take a few days for the independent battalion to have an extra platoon of troops.

At this time, the chief of staff of the Japanese army was about to cry, not counting the fact that he didn't get any useful information. The reconnaissance troops sent out of the city almost disappeared as soon as they left.

You know, many of them are the most elite scouts among the infantry, and if you lose one, you will lose one.Even the wealthy Japanese army could not afford such a loss.

What's more, the co-leader, Ono, gave himself a day to investigate. Seeing that the day passed, he didn't get any valuable information.If Mr. Ono wanted to be held accountable, he, as the chief of staff, would definitely bear the main responsibility.

Seeing that the sky was slowly getting dark outside, the chief of staff had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into Ono's office, reporting the result that he got nothing.

"Baga, what do the staff do for food, what do the reconnaissance troops do for? And the garrison regiment, the empire would rather raise a bunch of trash if they are supported by the empire, they can't do such a small thing, Bageya Road!" Ono, who had no place to vent his anger, cursed at the chief of staff.

The chief of staff did not dare to have the slightest rebuttal, and lowered his head to bear it.

It wasn't until the captain was tired of scolding that he asked weakly: "Captain, what should we do next? Should we continue to send troops to investigate?"

Ono shook his head, and then replied with a serious face: "I won't investigate anymore. There is no result for such a long time. It is useless to continue the investigation. What's more, it will lose troops in vain. Buy time for the Eighth Route Army!"

"What do you mean, captain?" the chief of staff asked after a long sigh of relief.

"Send troops directly!" Ono's face quickly exuded a burst of killing.

"Since I don't know the strength of the Eighth Route Army, I will take all the main force there. Even if the Eighth Route Army hides two main force regiments in Shuiquan Village, no, three main force regiments, I am not afraid of them!"

"Order the Songjing Brigade, the Laiyuan Security Regiment, and the United Mountain Artillery Squadron to prepare for departure immediately. We will set off at ten o'clock in the evening and arrive at Shuiquan Village at two o'clock in the morning. We will also launch a night attack on the Eighth Route Army!"

The chief of staff immediately reminded: "But in this way, there will only be one infantry squadron and one supply squadron left in Laiyuan City! If the Eighth Route Army has any conspiracy, Laiyuan City will be very dangerous. They are too good at sneak attacks!"

"You're right. That's why I've been asking you to find out the strength of the Eighth Route Army. The reason why ninjas don't send troops. Our troops are limited, and if we dispatch fewer troops, we are likely to be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. If there are too many, the defenders of Laiyuan City Less again!" Ono analyzed, frowning.

"The lowly position has failed the trust of the captain, please punish the captain! But I still feel that there are too few troops left behind. Although there is no news from the Wuzhen stronghold, I am sure that the stronghold must have been captured by the Eighth Route Army. It is not clear what this Eighth Route Army is. Is it the same as the Eighth Road in Shuiquan Village? If not, then as soon as we leave Laiyuan City, the Eighth Road in the direction of Wuzhen may rush towards the county!" The chief of staff lowered his head with regret, and then said his own Worry!
Ono's already frowning brows became even deeper at this time. This was indeed a very difficult choice.

Whether it is the Eighth Route Army in Shuiquan Village or the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Wuzhen, he wants to eliminate them.But there is a premise that the safety of Laiyuan City cannot be affected.

You must know that when I retreated from the front line, the extra equipment of the division due to the loss of soldiers and generals, including the equipment captured by the Chinese army on the battlefield, was all hoarded in the county and used when preparing to form a garrison brigade.

If the county town is occupied by the Eighth Route Army when I send troops, those weapons will fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.With the speed of the Eighth Route Army pulling troops, it won't take long for the enemy to have at least two more regiments, which will definitely have a huge impact on the stability of Laiyuan and even the surrounding counties.

At that time, not only will I not get the so-called military exploits, but I will also become a sinner of the Japanese Empire!
"Baga, this is really a difficult choice! But, the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Shuiquan Village, we can't wait any longer. They wiped out more than 200 of our warriors. We must eat them and avenge the warriors who died in battle!" Hesitant Ono Dazuo finally made a cruel decision.

"In this way, a battalion is drawn from the garrison to stay on the defensive side. Compared with attacking on the battlefield and fighting in the field, the garrison is better at defending. In addition, isn't there a squadron of heavy machine guns that was disabled in the city? The heavy machine guns were drawn from the arsenal to give They replenished the equipment. If this is the case, even if a regiment of the Eighth Route Army comes, they will not be able to take down Laiyuan City!"

"Besides, there are only three main regiments and some local troops in the First Division of the Eighth Route Army directly opposite us. Unless they have the ability to turn beans into soldiers, Laiyuan City must be safe and secure!"

The chief of staff also felt that there was no problem with such an arrangement, after all, Ono's analysis just now was true.

In order to make up for his mistakes during the day, the chief of staff immediately left the headquarters to arrange the expedition troops without saying a word.

Because the troops spared a lot of roads to avoid the Japanese and puppet strongholds, when Wang Ping led the team to Guanliang stronghold, it was already dark, but from a distance, two lights were still on in the Guanliang Japanese and puppet strongholds. .

At first, he thought that the Guanliang stronghold where more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops were stationed was the same as the one he had encountered before, but after he got closer, Wang Ping realized that he was wrong, and then subconsciously frowned.

Because, Wang Ping actually saw a cannon muzzle in the stronghold, a brick and stone running building almost three stories high, standing tall in the middle of the stronghold!
