Chapter 137 Shelling the Bunker Turret

Li Yunlong would not let go of any fighting opportunity. Chen Ziyun knew that there were soldiers from the New Regiment following his troops, so he ignored them.

On the contrary, for Chen Ziyun, Li Yunlong asked if he could bring his troops over, which would naturally strengthen the overall strength of the attacking troops.

If that is a good thing, Chen Ziyun will naturally not refuse it.

During the whole day, Zhou Wenbo's observation team was the busiest.

They were in the guard company troops protecting the east, and they approached the railway one after another to conduct surveys.

Liang Guoping's artillery battalion, based on the relevant data provided by the observation team, began to mark the locations on the map and look for suitable locations to build artillery positions.

The two infantry battalions of Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yujie were divided into companies and were scattered in different areas to build defensive positions.

Time passed, and at about four o'clock in the morning, Li Yunlong appeared nearby with his troops.

Of course, the two sides maintain a certain tacit understanding and have no contact with each other, but when it comes to fighting, they will definitely cooperate.

Night fell unknowingly. Chen Ziyun was already standing inside the headquarters, and the communications troops immediately set up a telephone line.

It is very good to know whether the headquarters can currently communicate with each battalion by telephone.

"Commander, they found unknown people near the troops one after another. Some people wanted to see them up close, but they were detained by them."

"Most of those people were people from nearby villages. After interrogation, they revealed their purpose."

"Someone bribed them to conduct a detailed search near the village and report the troops they found. Can they get a reward?"

"They analyzed whether the traitor could have done it, and according to their reports, such behavior was seen in many places."

"And did they focus on searching for their Shanxi-Sui Army unit, commander? That thing is a bit unusual."

At around eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Wu, the commander of the cavalry company, came to Chen Ziyun and began to report.

The Second Army Headquarters of the First Moon Army has fully mobilized intelligence personnel, and a large number of puppet traitors have launched operations.

Of course, those people would not take risks themselves, after all, they could easily be discovered, and once discovered, their lives would not be saved.

But they didn't dare to neglect the little devil's orders, so they used money to bribe some people who were not strong-willed.

They asked the common people to search for the Shanxi-Sui Army troops. Those common people did not have strong willpower, and they naturally did such things when money was tempting them.

After receiving the report, Chen Ziyun showed a solemn expression on his face.

He came to the map, looked at it carefully, and fell into deep thought.

At present, they are in the Xinxian area too far north, and their actions are completely hidden.

They started marching in the morning, and cavalry troops expanded the search area. Their whereabouts were absolutely undiscovered when they arrived.

After arriving there, they completely hid themselves, and the observation team and other units also carried out operations in secret.

They were very careful in all their actions. According to Zhang Wu's report, it was obvious that the Yue Army had discovered something.

"How did the Moon Army discover them? If they find out their detailed whereabouts, they can directly dispatch troops to attack them."

"But judging from the current situation, they know that their troops are attacking, but they don't know their specific whereabouts."

"That's why they arranged for traitors from the puppet army to find people to search for their whereabouts. Could it be that..."

Chen Ziyun frowned and muttered to himself.

He immediately thought of Qian Bojun and Zhang Fuli. They knew they were leading the troops to attack, but they didn't know their attack target or battle plan.

I beg them to pass on the news and see if it is reasonable for the Moon Army to do such a thing.

Whether these two people would directly seek refuge with the Japs in the future, Chen Ziyun would not be surprised at all if they did such a thing.

"Commander, what do you mean?" Zhang Wu said with a surprised expression.

So obviously someone from the 48th Independent Brigade conveyed the news to the Japs, and could the matter be very serious?

"Captain Zhang, they don't have enough evidence for that matter, so they don't want to leak it for the time being."

"Otherwise, if the news spreads, it will have a great impact on their troops and even cause their troops to split."

"Those common people should be taught a lesson. They don't have to help them fight the Japanese, but they can't help the little Japanese to fight them for money."

"Signal Corps, Ma is contacting the three battalion commanders and asking them to come to the headquarters quickly to participate in the combat meeting."

Chen Ziyun had a serious expression on his face, and he immediately spoke.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Furun definitely wanted to take refuge with the Japs, and if they had such a move, they could not do it on the spur of the moment.

Perhaps in 1937, they sincerely followed Chu Yunfei to fight the Japanese.

But now, they gradually have other ideas. Chen Ziyun analyzes that they are now very likely to have contact with the Yue Army.

Of course, Chen Ziyun has no evidence, and he, Qian Bojun, and Zhang Furun are both good people, so his words are not enough for others to trust.

Chen Ziyun can slowly look for evidence about that matter. If he talks about it directly now, it will cause trouble for himself.

And now that their troops are launching an attack, it is very possible that the Moon Army has obtained relevant information in advance.

Whether the Zhangwu Cavalry Company can control a certain number of people who come to inquire for information, the puppet traitors will most likely be alert.

So now Chen Ziyun is begging to launch combat operations quickly to avoid long nights and dreams.

The three battalion commanders Wu Ziqiang, Shi Yujian and Liang Guoping received a call from the headquarters and they rushed over immediately.

In addition, Chu Yu from the guard company and Zhang Wu from the cavalry company are also at the headquarters.

"The ministries carried out combat operations according to the plan drawn up at noon, and the artillery launched artillery fire on the predetermined target."

"The 5th Battalion of the Independent Infantry and the 6th Battalion of the Independent Infantry made a rapid attack, and with the cooperation of the artillery, they quickly annihilated the puppet troops inside the gun tower and bunker."

"The cavalry company is responsible for battlefield security, and the guard company serves as the reserve team and is also responsible for protecting the safety of the artillery."

"At present, they are probably being targeted by the Moon and Puppet Army troops, so they must seek a quick victory and not give the Moon and Puppet Army too much time to react."

"After completing the combat operation, quickly clean up the loot, then quickly assemble and move north."

After all the officers arrived, Chen Ziyun stood in front of the map and began to issue combat orders.

As early as noon, Chen Ziyun had already formulated relevant combat plans based on the observation team's report and communicated them.

Do all ministries directly deploy in accordance with relevant combat plans?

Now they are already prepared and can launch an attack at any time.

"No, Commander." After receiving Chen Ziyun's order, the officers immediately saluted and replied.

Chen Ziyun pointed at the map and gave instructions again, clarifying the precautions of each department, and the officers began to return to their troops.

At nine o'clock in the morning, outside the city of Xin County, the headquarters of the 9th Independent Infantry Brigade of the East-affiliated Third Independent Mixed Brigade was established.

The Ninth Independent Infantry Battalion is currently attached to the Imperial Association Army and is responsible for the regional defense of Xin County.

Whether its main force is deployed in forts and gun towers along the railway, the main force is responsible for railway safety.

The situation in Shanxi Province is rather special. We are currently asking if there are Shanxi-Sui Army, Eighth Route Army, and Wei Junru troops.

The commander of the Jinsui Army requested to stay in western Shanxi. Yan Laoxi asked if he had any idea of ​​conserving his strength. The little devil asked not to attack western Shanxi. He would rarely send out troops to fight.

Wei Junru's troops are not at Zhongtiao Mountain. They are restrained by the main force of the First Army of the Moon Army, so they can move in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

The Eighth Route Army was actively engaged in combat operations and constantly operating behind enemy lines, so they were not the troops to respond to the hostility of the enemy-occupied areas.

But the Eighth Route Army lacked heavy weapons, and the Japs generally stayed in villages and towns, so it was impossible to block their attacks.

Especially if some towns with more strategic requirements will be reinforced, this will definitely be a strong point for the Eighth Route Army, which lacks heavy weapons.

As for the gun towers and bunkers specially built by the Yue Army to attack the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army was unable to cope with them.

Please give the sophisticated weapons and equipment of the Jinsui Army to the Eighth Route Army. The First Army of the Yue Army in Jin Province probably won't be able to control much of the occupied area.

"Captain Ge Dong, according to the report from the Imperial Association Army, in several villages west of the Tongpu Railway, the people they bribed have lost contact."

"They conducted search and reconnaissance there, but have not returned yet. According to the inference of the Imperial Association Army, it is very likely that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army troops they are looking for are there."

"Currently, the Royal Association Army has begun to organize its troops to advance there and is preparing to check the specific situation in detail."

At this time, a second lieutenant of the Yue Army came to the brigade headquarters. He quickly reported to the major captain.

The major captain looked at the map location pointed by the ensign, with a solemn expression on his face.

By this time, the First Army had already issued combat orders, and officers at the brigade level and above had received the news.

They knew that the 48th Independent Brigade had already attacked, but that force was wrong, so the little Japanese officer knew their combat effectiveness very well.

Can that unit be an expanded unit of the 358th Regiment of the Sui Army, and can the 358th Regiment seize the flag of the 3rd Regiment and severely damage the independent unit that formed the 4th Brigade?

With a unit like that, the little Japanese officers would naturally not be careless in the slightest.

Especially those independent infantry brigades belonging to the independent mixed brigades, their own strength is not very strong.

Facing such an elite unit, they don't have much to deal with.

"Ma is contacting the gun towers of each stronghold and getting them into combat status immediately."

"At the same time, let the Imperial Alliance Army advance there at full speed, and be sure to determine whether there are Shanxi-Sui Army troops there in the shortest possible time."

"In addition, contact the brigade headquarters immediately and report to them whether the Shanxi-Sui Army troops have been found there."
