Anti-Japanese War: You drove me away, and now you want me to rescue you?

Shanxi Province is mountainous.

For example, the southwest of Shanxi is famous for its interlaced mountains and overlapping hills.

Heyuan County is a county town in southwest Shanxi. Compared with the county towns in other parts of Shanxi Province, this county town is not so grand and wide, but it happens to be the main transportation route for all parts of Shanxi Province to enter and exit southwest Shanxi. There are railways and roads crisscrossing nearby, which naturally forms a scale effect.

Since the Japanese invaders entered Shanxi, a large detachment has been stationed here all year round.

This is the Pingtian Detachment.

It was this Pingtian Detachment that planned Qian Bojun's rebellion.

The detachment is a temporary structure in the organization of the Japanese army. Its number of people varies, and the Pingtian Detachment stationed here is a team of 3,000 people, including two infantry battalions and corresponding artillery and logistics units.

In terms of strength, it is slightly inferior to a regiment, but in terms of combat power, it is also extremely powerful.

The mission of the Hirata Detachment itself is to garrison Heyuan County and cooperate with the Hino Brigade stationed in Xuyang County, Jinzhong to provide support to various places at any time.

In general.

Such a deployment of troops is absolutely foolproof.

However, due to the sudden rise of the Tiger Guards in the recent stage, the Hirata Detachment itself has become much quieter. Unless it is a special case like Qian Bojun's betrayal last time, most of them are stationed inside the county, and at most they are responsible for guarding the main traffic routes along the line.

Of course, in addition to this.

Due to its considerable convenience, Heyuan County is also an important material assembly and troop transfer place for the devils in Shanxi Province.

In addition to this standing force, the county is now stationed with a newly formed infantry brigade, which has a population of about 7,000 people. In terms of organization, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Jin-based headquarters, so even Shinozuka Yoshio has no right to mobilize this unit.

...

Heyuan County.

Temporary headquarters.

"General Aso!"

Ichiro Hirata said respectfully: "I wonder if your unit is ready?"

Aso Takana, who was standing in front of him, nodded and said: "At present, the troops drawn from the headquarters and various places have basically met the demand. I have just received an order from the Army General Staff. My 29th Brigade will set off in three days and head to the front line! I also hope that Mr. Hirata will prepare all the supplies for my unit."

"General, don't worry!"

As a colonel in the army, Ichiro Hirata is still one level lower than the man in front of him. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect it at this time. He immediately said: "General Shinozuka has already issued an order to let me prepare all the supplies. Now all the supplies of your unit are ready and can be transferred at any time."

"That's good!"

Aso Takana nodded slightly.

At this time, Hirata Ichiro said with envy: "I really envy you for being able to go to the front line to make achievements. I heard that our army has continuously broken through the Chinese defense line and successively captured Zaoyang and other places. It will not be long before Yichang is taken down, directly threatening the Chinese government in the mountain city!"

"The progress on the front line is indeed very smooth!"

Aso Takashi nodded and said with a smile: "Although the Chinese troops have deployed a large number of troops in the central China region to try to stop our army's advance, it is ultimately a mantis trying to stop a chariot, not worth mentioning. Of course, Hirata-kun does not need to envy. Although the front battlefield is very important, the rear is related to the various supplies and personnel replenishment of the front line. As long as Hirata-kun can defend this place, it will naturally be a great achievement."

Haha.

Can the two be the same?

Although Hirata Ichiro was angry that he could not go to the front to kill the enemy, he could not say much at this time. He could only sigh and said, "After all, it is not as satisfying as killing the enemy on the front line."

"Hirata-kun!"

Aso Takana comforted him a little, "There are still many opportunities in the battlefield behind enemy lines. Isn't the betrayal of the battalion commander of the 358th Regiment the best proof? If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Tiger Guards, Hirata-kun would have been able to capture the 358th Regiment in one fell swoop. If this went smoothly, he might have been promoted to major general now."

Speaking of this, Hirata Ichiro became even more depressed.

He said angrily: "It's that damn Tiger Guards. I, Ichiro Hirata, will take revenge sooner or later!"

"Hmph!"

Aso Takana nodded. He sneered and said: "Although I have only been here for half a month, I have heard about the Tiger Guards countless times. Previously, this unit successively annihilated many elite troops of our empire, and also annihilated the Seventh Brigade. If I hadn't led my headquarters to support the front line, I would have applied to the General Staff to wipe out this unit!"

"It's really embarrassing!"

Ichiro Hirata said helplessly: "The Tiger Guards have risen too fast. According to reliable information, their strength has been expanded to a considerable extent. Otherwise, my detachment would have cooperated with the Hino Brigade to launch a clearing operation against them. Now we can only wait for XiaoGeneral Tsukasa will first complete the extermination operations in other places, but fortunately, we have just received news that the operations there are about to end. "

"Yeah."

Aso Takashi nodded and said, "In this case, let's hold on for a while."

...

Somewhere.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

"Report!"

Soon, a communications staff hurried in and said, "Just got the news that the 29th Brigade, which was recently formed by the devils, will leave Heyuan County in two days!"

Everyone was very solemn when they heard this.

"Alas--"

The chief of staff also sighed and said, "Although the 29th Brigade is a newly formed unit, it includes the remnants of the 4th Brigade that was defeated in Laiyang County and the elite troops newly transferred from the rear of the devils. The combat effectiveness must be extremely strong. If we let them support the front line at this time, our front battlefield will inevitably be under greater pressure! ”

Yes.

The situation was extremely bad.

The Japanese also drew elite troops from all over the country to continuously support the front line. How could everyone present not feel worried?

"Is it feasible to snipe along the way?"

The commander suddenly spoke at this time.

The chief of staff shook his head and said seriously: "After all, the enemy is a brigade. It is said that their weapons and equipment and logistical supplies are very abundant. If we start sniping along the railway, it will certainly delay for a day or two, but it may not help the whole situation much. On the contrary, it is easy to fall into a passive situation, but-"

"But what?"

"If we wait for them to leave, and then snipe the supplies of these troops, it is still feasible."

"Alas-"

At this time, a staff officer next to him sighed and said: "This is certainly helpful to the front line, but the effect is very limited!"

"Damn it! "

The commander clenched his fists when he heard this, and said angrily: "We know that we should try our best to organize this kind of troops to go south at this time, but our strength is still too weak. Now we have to send out several main regiments to surround the Yamazaki Battalion and barely kill it. Now it is too difficult to concentrate troops to snipe the Japanese brigade within a few days! "
