In the guerrilla war room, Xu Dalong, Li Changshui, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie, Wang Limin and others discussed the plan to eliminate the Yamamoto special agent team.
Kong Jie was very upset about not being able to kill Yamamoto Kazuki. He spoke first and said: "Since that bastard Yamamoto Kazuki is in Lingao City, let's just attack Lingao City and kill the little Japs guarding the 32nd Division together."
.”
Sun Desheng also supported this opinion. He said: "I think what Commander Kong said makes sense. There are only a few dozen members of the Yamamoto special agent team. It would be really difficult to find them if they hide. It is better to take advantage of them while they are in Lingao City.
We have surrounded the entire Lingao City, are we still afraid that he will fly into the sky?"
Wang Limin supports this opinion. Now that the combat effectiveness of the Independent Brigade has reached a higher level, he also hopes to fight a big battle.
Wang Chengzhu and Huang Jingzhong had similar ideas. They agreed that there are Mawushan guerrillas, independent brigade, and Kong Jie's New Second Brigade in the base area. If the troops are not enough, they can also ask Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade for help. Such a powerful force
, the Japanese garrison 32nd Division is absolutely no match.
Zhao Gang said: "I'm afraid this won't work. The main force of the 32nd Division is in Lingao City. It's not easy to capture Lingao City right away. This battle will be a tough one. If we can't do it in a short time,
After Lingao City is captured, the Japanese army will definitely provide massive reinforcements. This is an earth-shattering battle. Even if Lingao City can be captured and the 32nd garrison division and the Yamamoto Special Agent Team are eliminated, our Mawushan strength will be greatly weakened. Therefore, I will not
I support fighting such a tough battle."
Li Changshui supported Zhao Gang's opinion. He also believed that fighting against the Japanese was not a good idea.
Kong Jie still insisted on his opinion. He said: "If we don't take advantage of the opportunity of Yamamoto's special agents in Lingao City to kill them, once they leave the city, who knows where they will go? We can't sleep with our eyes open every day.
Just keep an eye out for them. Besides, there is no war without casualties.
The 32nd garrison division itself is not strong. With so many troops, as well as the air force and tank troops, I think it won't take long to capture Lingao City. I suggest that we attack Lingao City directly without letting Yamamoto go.
Ichiki, that bastard, leave."
Zhao Gang and Li Changshui also insisted on their opinions. Everyone argued endlessly, and finally focused their attention on Xu Dalong.
Everyone is already used to it now, and Xu Dalong still has to make the decision in the end.
Xu Dalong said: "I agree with the opinions of Minister Li and Zhao Zhengwei, but I do not agree to attack Lingao City forcefully.
First of all, by concentrating the strength of the Mawushan guerrillas, the Independent Brigade and the New Second Brigade, we are certain to be able to capture Lingao City. But as Zhao Zhengwei said, this is a tough battle, even if we can annihilate the 32nd garrison division
regiment, our army will also suffer heavy losses.
Nowadays, the Japanese army in Shanxi is eyeing the Mawushan base area and may launch a large-scale attack at any time. Once our army's strength suffers heavy losses, it cannot be replenished in a short time.
If the Japanese army takes the opportunity to launch a massive attack on the Mawushan base area, our foundation here may be destroyed.
Secondly, the Japanese aggressors are still very powerful and the situation in the future is likely to be more severe. We must be prepared to persist in the struggle in the base area for a long time and cannot compete with the Japanese aggressors."
Having said this, Xu Dalong looked around at everyone.
It can be seen that Kong Jie and others are somewhat disapproving. After this period of fighting, they believe that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is nothing remarkable. With the strength of the Mawushan base, they are absolutely sure to annihilate the 32nd Japanese garrison division.
Not only that, the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party have been dealing with the Japanese army in Shanxi for such a long time, and the strength of the Japanese army in Shanxi is only so great. Xu Dalong said that the enemy situation in the future will be more serious, and no one can see it.
Xu Dalong understands the historical process and knows that after several major battles between the Japanese army and the Kuomintang army, they will turn their attention to the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. They will mobilize a large number of troops from the front to attack the underground party's anti-Japanese base areas. Next spring
At that time, a large number of Japanese troops would enter Shanxi. The enemy situation would be extremely serious at that time, and Xu Dalong had to prepare for a long-term war of resistance.
Of course, Xu Dalong couldn't tell these generals that he knew the course of history in advance. He could only analyze the situation of the domestic resistance war, saying that after the Japanese army slowed down its large-scale offensive against the Guo army, it would deploy troops to deal with the underground party's anti-Japanese resistance.
Base area. Everyone can still understand what he said.
Although Kong Jie thought that what Xu Dalong said was reasonable, he still didn't want to give up the opportunity to eliminate Yamamoto's special agent team.
He said: "Brother Dalong, what you said makes sense, but when the Japanese army has not increased its strength, we can eat the 32nd garrison division. Wouldn't this be more beneficial to persisting in the war of resistance in the Mawushan base area?"
Xu Dalong said: "Commander Kong, under normal circumstances, what you said is correct. However, the situation here in the Mawu Mountain Base is quite special. The 32nd garrison division is now frightened by us, and there are still many enemies inside the enemy.
With our internal support, it is better for us to keep them here than to replace them with a completely unfamiliar Japanese field force. Therefore, at the current stage, we still have to keep the 32nd Division to guard, whether it is to obtain intelligence
It is very beneficial both in terms of supply and supply of materials.”
When Xu Dalong mentioned this, everyone understood and expressed their agreement with Xu Dalong's opinion.
Kong Jie thought what Xu Dalong said made sense, but he still had a grudge against Yamamoto's special agent team. He said: "Brother Dalong, you have long-term considerations. I have no objection to that, but can you just let go of the little devil's agent?"
Are you in the team?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Captain Kong, I understand your mood. Aren't we meeting now to discuss how to kill Yamamoto Kazuki and his special agent team?"
Kong Jie hurriedly asked: "Brother Dalong, have you come up with a solution?"
Xu Dalong said: "I do have a plan. Let's talk about it now and we can discuss it together."
After Xu Dalong told his plan, everyone expressed their approval.
Kong Jie said excitedly: "Brother Dalong, you still have a quick mind. As long as you can kill that bastard Yamamoto Kazuki, you can do whatever you want."
Lingao City.
Chiba Xunyi was discussing work matters with the chief of staff when the phone rang. The chief of staff answered the phone and heard Yan Guiwu's voice coming from inside.
He said eagerly: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, are your Excellency the Division Commander here? I have urgent military information to report."
Chiba Xunyi heard the voice coming from the phone receiver and said, "Let him come over."
The chief of staff said: "Yan Sang, the division commander has asked you to come over."
Yan Guiwu said: "Please wait a moment, I will be there soon."
Soon after, Yan Guiwu came to the office. He stood at attention, saluted, and said breathlessly: "Your Excellency, the Division Commander, Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff."
Qianye Xunyi saw Yan Guiwu's panic and asked: "Yan Sang, what happened?"
Yan Guiwu said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, something bad has happened. I have received news that Xu Dalong has mobilized a large group of troops to attack Lingao City."
"What, is the news reliable?" Qianye Xun suddenly became nervous. He was so surprised that he almost stood up. In order to maintain his face, he took a deep breath and tried to control his nervousness.
He slowed down and said, "Yan Sang, don't be anxious. What happened? Sit down and talk slowly."
Yan Guiwu said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have received news that the Mawushan guerrillas are gathering in large numbers, and the leading troops have already moved towards Lingao City."
Qianye Xunyi said: "How many soldiers and horses do Xu Dalong and the others have?"
Yan Guiwu said: "It's hard to say. Anyway, their cavalry and chariot troops were dispatched, as well as a large number of convoys, all of which were filled with guerrillas. At least there were tens of thousands of horses."
Qianye Xunyi asked: "Are you sure they are coming towards Lingao City?"
Yan Guiwu said: "The direction is this way, but I can't guarantee whether it will really come to Gaocheng."
At this moment, the roar of an airplane suddenly came from the sky. The chief of staff opened the window and looked up at the sky. After looking at it for a while, he said: "Your Excellency, division commander, this is a reconnaissance plane."
Qianye Xun looked pale and murmured to himself: "It seems that they are really coming to Lingao City."
The chief of staff asked: "What are Xu Dalong and the others doing? Why are they suddenly coming to attack Lingao City?"
Yan Guiwu shook his head and said: "I don't know this, but..."
Qianye Xunyi saw Yan Guiwu's hesitant expression and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Yan Guiwu said: "I heard that Kazuki Yamamoto and others attacked the wedding scene of the underground party and killed some of their people. Maybe they came to take revenge after hearing that Kazuki Yamamoto was in Lingao City.
Your Excellency, Division Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, this is just a guess and cannot be taken seriously."
Chiba Xunyi said: "I think it is 80% like this. Yamamoto Kazuki and his gang are really incompetent. Not only did they not kill Xu Dalong, but they recruited Xu Dalong. What they did, our division must bear the consequences. It is simply
Bage Yalu.”
The chief of staff said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I'm afraid this is really what happened. How should we deal with it?"
Chiba Xunyi was upset and cursed: "Eight Yalu." Then nothing happened. He didn't know whether he was scolding Kazuki Yamamoto or Xu Dalong.
Seeing that Qianye Xunyi had no idea, the chief of staff asked: "Yan Sang, what do you have in mind?"
Yan Guiwu looked at Qianli Xunyi and said hesitantly: "This,..."
Qianye Xunyi said irritably: "If you have anything to say, please tell me immediately."
Yan Guiwu said: "I think that since Xu Dalong and the others are here for Yamamoto Kazuki and the others, if they are not in Lingao City, what is the point of Xu Dalong and the others coming to Gaocheng again?"
Qianye Xun's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the chief of staff shaking his head slightly at him.
He understood and said to Yan Guiwu: "Yan Sang, the information you provided is very good. You should go back now and organize your troops to prepare for battle to prevent the enemy from attacking the city."
Yan Guiwu knew that they could not trust him and wanted to discuss the matter alone, so he said goodbye and left.
After Yan Guiwu left, Qianye Xunyi said: "What Yan Guiwu said makes sense. Since Xu Dalong and the others are here for Yamamoto Kazuki, we can't let them stay in the city. We have to find a way to get them to leave quickly."
The chief of staff agreed with Chiba Xunyi's opinion. He added: "Not only should Yamamoto Kazuki and others leave Lingao City, it is best to let Xu Dalong and others know where Yamamoto Kazuki and others are going."
Qianye Xun nodded and said, "That's what I mean. How should I talk about this matter?"
The chief of staff said: "Leave this to me."
Chiba Xunyi knew his chief of staff and knew that this guy was cunning and cunning, and he would have no problem dealing with Yamamoto Kazuki. He said, "Then please."
The chief of staff returned to his office, called Taro Ningoka, the director of the Special High School Division, and explained to him.
Taro Ningoka returned to his office, changed into plain clothes, walked out of the gate of the military police headquarters alone, got on a rickshaw, and zigzagged to a private house.
This is the temporary residence he arranged for the Yamamoto Special Forces.
After seeing Yamamoto Kazuki and Shimada Island, Ningoka Taro said: "Yamamoto-kun, Shimada-kun, I just got the information. Xu Dalong's large group of people has already come towards Lingao City. The reconnaissance plane that flew in the sky just now must have
You have also seen that there are tens of thousands of people here this time, specifically for your special team. You can no longer stay in Lingao City, it is too dangerous here."
Yamamoto Kazuki's mind was spinning very fast, and he could tell that this was because the 32nd garrison division did not welcome him, and he was worried that they would get into trouble if they stayed in Lingao City.
Kazuki Yamamoto originally thought that after all, there were nearly a division of troops here, and it would be relatively safe for them to stay here. However, he was a man who wanted to save face, and he wanted to stay, but he couldn't find an excuse for the moment.
Seeing Yamamoto Kazuki's hesitation, Ningoka Taro said: "Yamamoto-kun, I have a suggestion. Xu Dalong and the others are all out to come to Gaocheng, and their base area is empty. You might as well take this opportunity to sneak attack their base area.
If you hit them unexpectedly, you will certainly be able to make great contributions to the Yellow Army."
Yamamoto Kazuki had no excuse to stay, and he thought that what Ningoka Taro said was reasonable. If Xu Dalong and the others came out in full force, this would indeed be a good opportunity to sneak attack on their home base.
Among the tasks assigned by Yoshio Shinozuka to the Yamamoto special forces, there are two main tasks. The first is to kill Xu Dalong, and the second is to destroy the guerrillas' airport. Now even if Xu Dalong comes to Gaocheng, he can destroy them.
The airport is also a great achievement.
He nodded and said: "Okay, let's leave the city now. We also need to ask Mr. Ninggang to arrange a few civilian trucks for us, as well as a guide who is familiar with the terrain."
Taro Ningoka said: "No problem, I will arrange the vehicle right away."
He asked Gao Ningze, who led the way last time, to prepare.
An hour later, several civilian trucks drove out of Lingao City, and they drove out in the opposite direction to the Mawu Mountain base area.
It was Yamamoto Kazuki, Shimada Tsumugi and others who left the city. They wanted to go to the Mawu Mountain base, but they were worried that someone was following them, so they first walked in the opposite direction, observing whether anyone was following them as they walked.
After careful observation, they did not see anyone following them, so when they reached the fork in the road, they started to turn left and then left, heading towards Mawu Mountain.
Yamamoto Kazuki and others did not know that their whereabouts were still in the eyes of the guerrillas.
In order to know the whereabouts of Yamamoto Kazuki and others, Zheng Xirong spent a lot of money.
He removed more than a hundred members of the intelligence squadron and asked Monk Wei for help. He also transferred more than a hundred people from the special operations squadron. These people were disguised as pedestrians and farmers working in the fields and were scattered outside Lingao City.
He walked in all directions and watched closely the people and vehicles coming out of Lingao City.
