At the same time, Ding Wei also smelled in his heart that the storm was coming.
Since the little devil can be so calm, once he starts to attack, the offensive will definitely not be small.
Even if the Japanese did not attack, Ding Wei might foolishly prepare his entire army for war, and the entire regiment would rest in rotation to recover their physical strength and refresh their spirits.
"Captain, will the little Japs organize a brigade to attack us?" Huo Guangkai, who had been beside Ding Wei, said suddenly.
Ding Wei looked at Huo Guang with a serious expression.
"Captain, I was just joking." Huo Guang said hurriedly when he saw that Ding Wei's expression was wrong.
In order to train this young general, Ding Wei deliberately placed him next to him, so that this boy could learn something subtly.
Seeing Ding Wei looking at him, Huo Guang thought it was his joke that annoyed Ding Wei.
"No, you are right." Ding Wei said solemnly: "I have already returned from blowing up the railway, and the little devil hasn't sent troops yet. There must be some conspiracy in this."
According to Ding Wei's idea, the two sides had been grudges for a long time. Since the Japanese knew their base area, they didn't bite like mad dogs.
But the Japs were surprisingly calm, and it was very possible that they were brewing some conspiracy.
"Could it be a night attack? Ding Wei suddenly thought of a possibility.
As for the Japs from a brigade that Huo Guang joked about, this is not impossible.
Ding Wei knew better than anyone else how much trouble the 28th Regiment had brought to the Japanese. Now that the Japanese had discovered it, they must solve the problem fundamentally.
However, since a brigade came, Ding Wei felt not guilty.
As soon as it comes, the combat effectiveness of the 28th Regiment is left here. If you want to take over the 28th Regiment, one brigade is not enough.
Secondly, there are tunnels below the village. If you can't fight them head-on, you can retreat to the tunnels and play tunnel battles with the Japanese.
During this period, tunnels under the ground were dug in all directions, and there are still several that can lead to the back mountain.
Even if the battle reaches an irreversible point, he can directly lead his team to retreat to the back mountain.
This endless mountainous area can't be seen to the end at a glance. Unless a kid joins a division, it will be difficult to find traces of the 28th Regiment.
…
In the evening, the sun sets slowly.
Japanese troops from Chengyang County, Dingyang County, and surrounding strongholds all filed out and headed towards the 28th Regiment base area.
On the highway.
The Japanese army was like a long worm, marching on the road, trying to get people to step on it.
There were at least 20 trucks driving in the middle of the road. The trucks were filled with heavily armed Japanese soldiers. Everyone had an excited expression on their face and a bit of bloodlust in their eyes.
Eight of the trucks also towed a Type 92 infantry gun behind them, and three of the trucks even towed a Type 96 150mm howitzer behind them.
In order to completely annihilate the 28th Regiment, it can be said that the little devil spent a lot of money and came here just to succeed if he failed.
Group after group of Japanese soldiers merged into the army from various branches.
The puppet troops in the stronghold next to the highway were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
They have been traitors for so long, and this is the first time they have seen this kind of behavior.
A puppet soldier on the bunker said: "My dear, what are you doing, Taijun? With such a big battle, is it possible that there will be another big battle?"
"You just know. It is said to be annihilating some regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Anyway, the imperial army is really angry this time." Another puppet soldier replied.
"Why does this guy need two to three thousand?" another puppet soldier said.
…
These puppet soldiers were a little scared, fearing that if the Taijun they talked about failed, they would be sent forward to die.
However, their imagination was really poor, and at least three regiments of Japanese troops were dispatched for this operation.
Led by the Tamaki regiment, the other two regiments coordinated the attack. The Japanese troops alone numbered less than 10,000 people.
In addition, there are two guard regiments and more than 3,000 Imperial Army troops.
This number sounds ridiculous, but to be honest, this is just a group of cannon fodder, just to consume the strength of the 28th Regiment on the eve of the battle and give the imperial army a chance to win.
Amidst the successive losses, the little Japanese really got angry and wanted to completely annihilate the 28th Regiment.
Because the railway line was almost destroyed, they had no choice but to march by road.
There is even a Type 94 tank at the very front of the road.
Also known as Xiaodouding.
The tank barrel is like the crotch of a Japanese soldier, short and small.
It is said that it is a tank, but the name is just used to deceive people. The official name is Type 94 armored vehicle, which is a few Tiger King different from a real tank.
But in the view of the Japanese army, dispatching this tank to deal with the 28th Regiment was enough.
The dust on the road was billowing with great force, and it looked quite combative.
The commander of this operation, Tamaki Rei, naturally would not sit in that small and crowded tank.
It's summer now, and the surrounding air seems very stuffy.
Yumuling tugged on her collar a little irritably, trying to cool herself down.
He didn't know why, but he always felt like there was a stone pressing down on him, as if it was a sign that this operation would not go well.
The co-captain of the Star Alliance, Hoshizora Yuno smiled and said: "What's the matter, Tamaki-kun?"
"It's so hot here. I just want to end the fight quickly and then go back and hold the delicate geisha for a drink." Tamaki Ling told a joke to ease her mood.
"It seems that Tamaki-kun is very confident in this action." Hoshizora Yuno said.
Tamaki Ling snorted coldly and said: "If the imperial army of three regiments cannot even eliminate one regiment of the Eighth Route Army, I feel like I can commit suicide by caesarean section."
"Tamaki-kun is full of confidence, Yeyue-kun doesn't seem to give you face." Hoshikora Yuno said, her eyes couldn't help but look in the rearview mirror.
The Yozuki-kun that Hoshizora Yuno is talking about is Yozuki Melia, the captain of the Yozuki Regiment. He is very dissatisfied with Tamaki Rei's approach of treating him as his commander.
Out of sight and out of mind, he didn't bother to share a car with Yumuling and sat in the back.
In fact, the three of them are joint captains and all have the rank of colonel. It is normal for Yeyue Melia to have such dissatisfaction.
"Tamaki-kun, the enemy this time seems to be very unusual. I heard that it is the 28th regiment. This regiment is very famous recently." Hoshizora Yuno said.
Tamaki Ling nodded slightly: "Yes, these damn guys used to hide like rats, but now the position of the 28th Regiment has been determined.
I can't wait to play against them and see if they are as powerful as the legends and not easy to defeat!"
"Tamaki-kun, it's better for us to be more cautious." Yuno Hoshizora said: "Have you forgotten that the Sakata United Team fell into their hands in the first place?"
"Huh, that's because they are useless!" Tamaki Ling said coldly: "Sakata Nobutetsu thought he had won the battle by surrounding an Eighth Route Army unit.
But he actually ignored the attack from the rear. This guy was too blind and confident, so he was attacked from the rear and surrounded by the enemy.
This is completely the stupidity of Sakata Nobutetsu's command. Because of this idiot, we lost thousands of elite Imperial Army warriors, and this guy deserves to die!"
After a pause, Tamaki Ling continued: "We have investigated the surrounding situation, and except for some district squads and guerrillas, there are no troops with combat effectiveness.
Now that the imperial army is fully prepared and has artillery units and even howitzers, it is absolutely impossible for me to make such a stupid mistake as losing in the rear.
With our current strength, even if all the Tuba Road troops in northwestern Shanxi come over, they will not be able to block our attack from the front."
"But I heard that the 28th Regiment captured a lot of artillery." Hoshizora Yuno was a little worried.
"Xingkong Jun, you are really worrying too much. According to the discipline of the Eighth Route Army, this kind of artillery needs to be turned in." Tamaki Ling said.
"I think the 28th Regiment will be lucky if they can leave even one mortar behind."
Hoshikora Yuno stopped talking and was now preparing to start a war. How could he keep destroying his prestige?
Moreover, what Tamaki Ling said made sense. The current imperial army was so strong that when they passed by the national army station, they didn't even fart.
pity.
Their intelligence was limited to the battle reports of the 28th Regiment, and they did not know much about the internal situation of the 28th Regiment.
Tamaki Ling and others' thinking about the 28th Regiment was basically based on inertial thinking, and they analyzed it based on the Eighth Route Army they encountered before.
Who knew that the 28th Group was completely different.
Not only was the organization of the 28th Regiment different from that of ordinary regiments, but its weapons and equipment were also developed freely. Unless E Dingwei took the initiative to hand it over, the brigade commander would not even say a word.
You can never use the general Eighth Route Army to evaluate the 28th Regiment, because it has no reference value at all.
Tamaki Ling is about to pay the price for her blind arrogance. Although he is smart enough, he also has the shortcomings of the Japanese army.
Blind arrogance.
The news of the Japanese army's dispatch was quickly discovered by the scouts sent by Ding Wei on the periphery, and quickly spread to Ding Wei's ears.
"Sure enough, this little devil really wants to launch an attack at night." Ding Wei said, touching his chin.
However, Ding Wei was not worried at all, but instead felt a little excited.
There are nearly ten thousand enemies.
The number of people is double that of the 28th Regiment. This battle will definitely be very enjoyable.
"Continue to scout the movements of the Japanese troops and don't act rashly." Ding Wei looked at the scouts in front of him and said.
at the same time.
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong also sent telegrams at the same time, and the content was quite simple.
The Japanese troops were dispatched, but they could not fight.
Ding Wei only replied with one word: "Wait!"
…
New Second Regiment Headquarters.
"Wait, why wait?" Kong Jie looked at the message and was a little confused.
He originally thought he could fight a blocking battle and cause some trouble for the Japanese, but who knew it would be like this.
But since he was fighting with Ding Wei, Kong Jie had no choice but to comply and ordered the whole group not to act rashly and let the Japanese pass by.
Kong Jie was a little anxious. While smoking a dry cigarette, he walked around the room, thinking about what Ding Wei wanted to play.
…
New regiment headquarters.
"Wait? Old Ding said wait?" Li Yunlong's eyes were as wide as bells.
"That's right, just wait." Zhang Dabiao nodded.
"Old Zhao, what do you mean by Old Ding?" Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and asked.
Zhao Gang said angrily: "How do I know? I'm not the roundworm in his stomach."
"The little devil is just trying to get in our face, why can't we get in?" Li Yunlong said: "This wave of devils are aiming at his old man, how come this kid doesn't react at all?"
After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Isn't this guy Ding Wei unresponsive? We need to remind him."
Zhao Gang said: "I'll spare you the trouble. Captain Ding still needs you to follow him and remind him. He probably has some plans in mind, otherwise he wouldn't be able to let us make way for the Japanese."
Li Yunlong lay on the table, looked at the map, and scratched his head irritably: "Where does this kid Ding Wei want to finish? Wait, won't we just let the little Japs into the vicinity of his base?"
suddenly.
Li Yunlong suddenly thought of a possibility.
After Kong Jie finished smoking a dry cigarette, he also understood something.
"This kid doesn't want to fight these devils as a group!"
"Old Ding is crazy. Do you want to eat so many Japanese in one group?"
Thinking of this, the two men sent a telegram to Ding Wei almost at the same time.
…
28th Regiment Base Area.
"Captain, you don't want to eat these enemies by yourself, do you?" Huo Guang asked.
"Have you thought of it?" Ding Wei said with a smile.
Huo Guang was silent for a while and said: "Commander, this is not 1,200, but more than 10,000 enemies. You are crazy!"
"Isn't it good to have more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers with equipment? If we win this battle, we will get enough equipment to form another seven or eight regiments." Zhang Long continued.
Hear this.
The atmosphere in the headquarters, which was originally tense, suddenly became lively.
"Lao Zhang, you really dare to think," Lu Fang said.
"This battle loss ratio is too high. I guess it's only nine." Zhao Hu said with a smile.
"What time has it been and you are still in the mood to joke?" Huo Guang was a little helpless.
For the first time, he felt that compared to the people in front of him, his heart was still too small.
Facing the attack of tens of thousands of enemies, there was no hint of fear in their conversations.
"It's only 10,000 people, it's nothing." Ding Wei said with a smile: "I think when the 28th Regiment was transferred from Jizhou, the number of people was not less than this. We have not successfully transferred."
"..." Huo Guang was silent.
"Commander, have you thought about how we will fight this battle?" Zhang Long asked: "How about we still fight the ambush battle that we are best at?"
"No, this time the Japanese are well prepared and have a large number of troops. We will definitely suffer in an ambush battle," Ding Wei said.
"This time we are fighting a defensive war, a positional war."
Although you can underestimate the enemy strategically, you must pay attention to the enemy tactically.
Once an ambush is fought at a certain location, the continuous Japanese support will be more than the ambush troops can bear.
Ding Wei would never be so stupid as to leave the strong fortifications unused and go out to confront the Japanese head-on. Then it would really be an egg against a rock.
"Don't we consume some of the enemy's troops first?" Zhao Hu frowned.
"Don't worry, we have already built strong enough fortifications, and this is our home court." Ding Wei said confidently.
"We can completely rely on these fortifications to attack the Japanese head-on and tear off a few pieces of their flesh."
Just talking.
A soldier came outside the door.
"Report to the commander, Commander Ding, and Commander Li are calling." the soldier reported.
"Read it!" Ding Wei didn't even raise his head.
When he heard the message from these two guys, Ding Wei knew that they must have reacted and thought he was going to eat these enemies.
as expected.
Things were no different from what Ding Wei thought.
