Ding Wei pointed to the map and said: "How those battalions want to separate themselves nearby will be their own problem."
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "In short, I want to make this place full of our people. As soon as the sound of guns and cannons is fired, various ministries can rush to help quickly."
"Captain? The troops have been split up, so where are we going?" Wu Ding asked.
"Yes, can we just withdraw the base area we finally established?" Huo Guang asked.
Ding Wei shook his head and said: "There is no need to retreat, the dozens of kilometers outside the base area are all our troops, and at least a dozen base areas can be established.
Our neighborhood will be very safe, no matter which road the devils approach us from, they will be able to detect it immediately."
Hearing this, Qiu Chan poked his head, looked at the map and said: "It's true, with Zhoujiacun as the center, the various base areas are like a spider web.
Once the devil comes in, he is like an insect that has entered a spider's web and cannot easily escape."
Ding Wei nodded and said: "Yes, that's exactly what I thought. Our 28th Regiment is now very strong. It would be a waste to huddle all the troops in one place. It's better to let them out."
Now there are wars everywhere here, and by the way, we can train them, and they can’t be battalion commanders behind me for the rest of their lives.”
In addition to narrowing their targets, Ding Wei also wanted to take the opportunity to cultivate their military capabilities and test whether they could maintain their combat effectiveness after being separated from him.
If you can, that's great, let them develop freely and strengthen the team.
If they break away from their own command and are beaten to the point of losing their armor by the Japanese, then it is better to get rid of their battalion commander position and continue to return to their own side to study hard to avoid making bigger mistakes in the future.
Farewell to the team.
Ding Wei took the soldiers back to Zhoujiacun.
Thousands of people suddenly disappeared from the village, and the originally crowded village became wider. At least these more than a thousand people could be accommodated without any problems at all.
28th Regiment Headquarters.
"This gun..." Wu Ding held the Jin-made rifle in his hand and did not recover for a long time. This gun was too familiar to him.
Is that not familiar?
This gun was none other than their own. They had all been confiscated by the Japanese because they fell into a trap. Wu Ding never thought that he would see this gun one day.
"Does it feel familiar?" Ding Wei asked with a smile.
Wu Ding played with it for a while and replied: "Of course I'm familiar with it. The Jin-made rifle is exactly the equipment we had before. But, Captain Ding, how did you get this gun?"
If I remember correctly, this gun should be in Heyuan County now."
"Yes, this gun should indeed be in Heyuan County, but now it is indeed back in my hands." Ding Wei said with a smile.
Wu Ding looked confused and couldn't figure it out.
Wu Ding couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said with sincere admiration: "I admire you, I admire you. Only Captain Ding dares to do this!"
…
Wu Ding still admires Ding Wei.
The sergeant in the warehouse in Heyuan County was still dreaming of a promotion, but he didn't know that he was about to be in trouble.
The phone dinged.
The sergeant picked up the phone and heard the voice on the other end of the phone, saying in a respectful tone: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, what are your orders?"
The call came from Heyuan County Headquarters, Ichiro Hirata.
"The Imperial Alliance Army has been formed. Immediately load the weapons and equipment in the warehouse to Li Village and equip them quickly." Ichiro Hirata ordered.
Ichiro Hirata's voice sounded a little tired, for no other reason than that the prisoner-of-war camp under his jurisdiction was robbed, and all the prisoners in it were missing.
Ichiro Hirata has not yet found out who did this, because the people who attacked the prisoner of war camp moved too fast and did not give them a chance to react.
"equipment?"
Upon hearing this, the sergeant immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, General Shinozuka has ordered that all the equipment have been taken away."
"General Shinozuka?" Ichiro Hirata was a little surprised.
"Hai!" Sergeant Cao paused and recounted what happened last night.
Ichiro Hirata was petrified on the spot and was stunned for a long time.
He clearly remembered that he had never received such an order.
Moreover, he had already reported to General Shinozuka about the formation of the Imperial Alliance Army and received his approval.
How could General Shinozuka suddenly ask for this batch of equipment, and not even give him a written document, but directly send someone to pick it up?
The sergeant didn't know that he was in danger, so he continued to say: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, because it was too late last night, my subordinates did not bother you."
"Bagayalu, you idiot, you have been fooled!" Hirata Ichiro said angrily.
At this moment, Hirata Ichiro wanted to eat this sergeant.
Not only did the enemy arrogantly pretend to be the imperial army and came to Heyuan County, but he actually loaded all the equipment into a truck and took it away under his nose.
Such a simple trick actually deceived him.
The Japanese military officer was stunned, holding the phone and not knowing what to say for a moment.
After being slapped a few times last night and seeing Ding Wei's ID, he didn't think too much about it due to the suppression of his military rank and the fact that Hu Jinbiao was also present.
No one would have thought that all this was faked by the enemy.
Even through the phone, the Japanese military sergeant could feel Ichiro Hirata's anger.
The Japanese army sergeant's dream of being promoted was shattered instantly. He didn't know whether he could be promoted.
He only knew that if there was no result in this matter, he would definitely be charged with dereliction of duty, and if it was more serious, he might even be ordered to have a caesarean section to apologize.
boom!
The sound of the phone being slapped on the phone came through the phone, which frightened him so much that he sat down on the ground.
Inside the Heyuan County garrison headquarters.
Hirata Ichiro hung up the phone and shouted outside: "Someone, come quickly!"
Outside the headquarters.
A Japanese soldier immediately ran in, paused and said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, what are your orders?"
"Send someone out immediately to check the nearby roads to see if there are any traces of vehicles. If there are any, let's see where they went!" Hirata Ichiro almost yelled these words.
"Hai!" the Japanese soldier stood up and immediately ran out of the headquarters.
After the soldier left, Ichiro Hirata quickly walked to the radio station, organized his speech, and reported the incident to the Taiyuan headquarters.
The prisoners of war and equipment were all intercepted on the same day. This matter was of great importance, and Ichiro Hirata had no intention of hiding it.
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters.
Yoshio Shinozuka was leaning on the table, carefully reading through the latest telegrams, but the expression on the old devil's face was not very good.
From time to time, he held his chest to relieve the pressure.
Since the start of the war with the Eighth Route Army, there has been almost no good news in the entire Shanxi region. Either the railway has been destroyed or the stronghold has been taken away.
No matter how strong Yoshio Shinozuka's heart was, he still found it difficult to accept the impact of the successive bad news.
"Your Excellency General, there is an urgent call from Heyuan County!" A soldier hurried in with a telegram.
Yoshio Shinozuka took the telegram and glanced at its contents. Suddenly he felt short of breath and rubbed his temples vigorously.
A large number of prisoners of war were rescued by unknown armed forces. The most outrageous thing is that some people pretended to be their own subordinates and moved all the equipment from the warehouse in Heyuan County.
These guys are so courageous!
"call…"
Yoshio Shinozuka was so furious that he almost didn't catch his breath. He hammered his chest hard and his breathing became rapid.
"Your Excellency, General!" The soldier saw Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly lying on the chair, and was at a loss for a moment.
"Medicine...medicine..." Yoshio Shinozuka covered his chest with one hand and tried to raise his other hand to point at the table.
But at this moment, his hands seemed to be filled with thousands of tons of steel, and he couldn't lift them no matter what.
Yoshio Shinozuka already had a heart disease, especially during this period of time when no winning messages came through.
Defeated, defeated, starting from the Eighth Route Army counterattack, they were either defeated or on the way to defeat.
When Yoshio Shinozuka saw the bad news in Heyuan County again, he couldn't bear it anymore. No matter how many antihypertensive drugs he took, he couldn't stop it.
Yoshio Shinozuka was breathing rapidly and could not speak clearly.
There was also a doctor in the First Army who was responsible for the safety of Yoshio Shinozuka. When the Japanese soldiers saw this situation for the first time, they were so frightened that they forgot to call the doctor.
But it seems that God doesn't want to take Yoshio Shinozuka's life now.
"Your Excellency General!"
Kazuki Yamamoto, who came to report on his work, saw Yoshio Shinozuka lying on a chair with a face the color of pig liver, and quickly stepped forward.
Seeing Kazuki Yamamoto's arrival, Yoshio Shinozuka seemed to see hope of survival and grabbed Yamamoto Kazuki's collar with all his strength.
Kazuki Yamamoto knew that Yoshio Shinozuka had a heart disease, so he glanced at the table and saw the pills on the table.
Without any hesitation, he grabbed the medicine bottle, poured out a few pills and stuffed them into Yoshio Shinozuka's mouth.
After taking the pills, Yoshio Shinozuka finally felt that his heart was getting better and his breathing became much smoother.
Yamamoto Kazuki breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at the soldiers who were still in a daze, and said angrily: "Asshole, what are you still doing in a daze? Go call the military doctor to check the general's body!"
With an angry shout, the dazed Japanese soldier finally came to his senses, stood up, nodded, and ran out quickly, rolling and crawling on the ground.
"Thank you so much, Yamamoto-kun!" Yoshio Shinozuka said with lingering fear, rubbing his heart after surviving the disaster.
It seems it's time to keep the military doctor by your side, otherwise if an accident like today happens again, you don't know who else will come to save you.
"General, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?" Yamamoto Kazuki asked with concern.
Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said casually: "It's okay. You don't have to worry. This is already an old problem of mine."
As soon as he finished speaking, the military doctor walked in.
"Hey, come and check the general's body!" Yamamoto Kazuki waved his hand vigorously.
The military doctor hurriedly carried the medical kit and came to Shinozuka Yoshio. He used a stethoscope to listen to Shinozuka Yoshio's heart and measured his blood pressure.
Look at the recorded numbers.
"Your Excellency General, your blood pressure has risen again. You must learn to control your emotions." The military doctor said with concern.
After a pause, the military doctor continued: "How about I prescribe some antihypertensive drugs for you?"
Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a while and refused directly: "No, I have taken enough medicine during this period. If I take more, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control it."
This old devil cherishes his life and is worried that he will develop drug resistance after taking medicine for a long time.
The military doctor also shut his mouth obediently and quickly retreated.
"General, do you really not need to prescribe any more medicine?" Yamamoto Kazuki said: "Your body..."
"It's okay, this is already an old problem of mine!" Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice.
Yamamoto Kazuki said: "General, what happened to make you become like this? Is there another battle report from the front line?"
There has indeed been a lot of bad news recently. Kazuki Yamamoto also knew that generals get angry every day, but it is rare that he can make his own general so angry.
But Yamamoto Kazuki never knew that the straw that breaks the camel's back is never the last straw.
Yoshio Shinozuka raised his head and glanced at the information on the table, and suddenly felt his heart twitching twice more.
Feeling that his body was unable to hold on, Yoshio Shinozuka raised his finger and pointed at the intelligence report on the table: "Yamamoto-kun, the battle report is on the table. You can read it yourself."
After saying that, Yoshio Shinozuka pinched the bridge of his nose in discomfort.
Kazuki Yamamoto picked up the telegram on the table and after reading two pages, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
No wonder the general is so angry.
Overnight, all the prisoners of war were rescued, and some people pretended to be the First Army and went to Heyuan County to take away all the equipment.
Not to mention Yoshio Shinozuka, even if he saw it, his heart would inevitably hurt.
"Yamamoto-kun, what do you think about this matter?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked.
Yamamoto Kazuki thought for a moment and said: "General, this incident proves that the execution ability of the troops in this operation is very strong.
After rescuing the group of prisoners of war, they quickly evacuated the scene and even cleaned up the traces of their retreat.
This is enough to prove that they are a group of very professional soldiers, at least they have received professional military training. There are not many soldiers in Shanxi with such execution ability."
"Yamamoto-kun, let's talk about your findings, don't talk about these useless things." Shinozuka Yoshio said.
"Hai." Kazuki Yamamoto paused and said, "I suspect that these people came for these prisoners of war. Not only did they save the people, they even spared the equipment.
Moreover, Hu Jinbiao and Wang Yuanhui were also arrested, and Hu Jinbiao’s yard was also ransacked, leaving even the slightest thing of value behind.”
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said: "Yes, I think so too, but which troop is this? In my opinion, there is no troop with this kind of execution ability in the national army."
"Your Excellency, General, I suspect that this matter is not from the national army." Yamamoto Kazuki said solemnly.
"Tell me your reasons." Yoshio Shinozuka said solemnly.
Yamamoto Kazuki said: "Heyuan County, what happened in Heyuan County does not look like something the National Army would do. Looting Heyuan County and defrauding the imperial army of equipment is more like the Eighth Route Army's style."
"Why?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked.
Yamamoto Kazuki confidently said: "If it were the national army, they would have retreated immediately after rescuing these soldiers, instead of choosing to attack the equipment in Heyuan County."
"Yamamoto-kun, since you said that, I believe you should have a candidate in mind." Shinozuka Yoshio said.
