Li Da was so proud of his ability that he brought back three war horses. Seeing that everyone was still cleaning the battlefield, he quickly shouted: "Everyone should be smarter. If you can't take the horse meat, don't take it. We are fighting guerrillas with the little devils. Don't mind it."
It’s a burden.”
Li Da's ability is simply to stand and talk without back pain. Since the new second regiment has established a foothold in the Yamawang Mountain area, it has no worries about food and clothing. Even his independent brigade has made a lot of good things.
"Don't do any last-ditch attacks on the little devils who are still alive. Keep them with Sakata United and let them take good care of them," Li Dajing ordered.
When Nishida Masao came over with the 11th Battalion, he saw that all the little devils had been stripped naked, with only a diaper in their pockets.
Seven or eight injured little devils were tied together, shivering with cold.
"Baga, Iwai Nosuke is a stupid pig." Nishida Masao cursed.
In this way, Li Dazhen led everyone to take turns to go into battle. You march, I will lay mines and fire cold guns. You camp, and I will fire two mortar shells for you.
The Sakata Regiment was in so much trouble that Sakata Nobuzhe gradually lost his patience and ordered his troops to be divided into attacks. However, seeing that something was not going well, Li Dabenji and others ran away and lured the little Japs into the ambush of the main force.
The brigade commander's original plan of having the 16th and 17th regiments lure the Japs into sending troops separately had not yet been implemented. Li Da took the initiative and led the county brigade and district squad to complete it. The main force was waiting for work, some were engaged in ambushes, and some were blocking enemy reinforcements.
, and achieved remarkable results in a few days.
Temporary headquarters.
"Brigade commander, the results of each regiment have been good these days. The Bantian regiment was dragged around the base area by Li Da and others. We attacked them piecemeal, and the number of casualties reached six to seven hundred people." The political commissar said with a smile.
"This Li Da is really a talented person. He gave us a big surprise. The initial goal has basically been achieved, but Sakata Nobutsuru should have already realized it. We should make the final step of the plan. In one battle, we can completely annihilate the Sakata United Team.
." The brigade commander threw down the pencil in his hand and said with satisfaction.
"Commander Zhang, please contact Zhou Weihan and ask him how the preparations are going over there?"
The words were divided into two parts. Zhou Weihan had brought all the units of the New Second Regiment to Xihe Village in the base area two days ago. Isamu Terauchi had already delivered the supplies for the Bantian Regiment, and was only waiting for the Sakata Regiment to send a telegram requesting supplies to Wuyi.
Then you can take action.
Over at the Sakata Regiment, after dinner, Sakata Nobutsu called a meeting of officers to discuss tomorrow's war.
In the temporary headquarters, Nobuyuki Sakata was leaning on the table looking at the map. The adjutant next to him reminded: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, everyone is here!"
Sakata Nobutsu looked up, and then said in a deep voice: "Since everyone is here, let them come in!"
Soon, seven or eight little Japs and officers filed in and entered the headquarters.
After everyone sat down, Sakata Nobutsu said sharply: "General Shinozuka is very dissatisfied with our results. He has sent telegrams many times asking, gentlemen, how do you feel about the events of the past few days?"
Masao Nishida stood up first and said: "Your Excellency, Captain, we have underestimated the Tuba Road. Along the way, they relied on favorable terrain to harass our Imperial Japanese Army, which made us lose patience. Iwai Nosuke's cavalry squadron was attacked by
They destroyed it."
"This proves that the enemy's commander has high tactical literacy and careful deployment. There is a saying in China that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. But now our troops are not familiar with the situation in the enemy's base area and are being led by their small troops.
Let's go, the enemy's main force found an opportunity, and our brigade has suffered more than 300 casualties so far." Nishida Masao said pessimistically.
As soon as Masao Nishida finished speaking, a lieutenant general sitting opposite him stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Nishida, you are too pessimistic. Our elite troops are still there. As long as we capture the main force of the Eighth Route Army, we can still defeat them. You are intimidated by the Eighth Route Army."
Have you lost your courage?"
"Yamashima-kun, if you still have this attitude against the Eighth Route Army, I advise you not to go to the battlefield. Otherwise, if we want to see you again, we will have to go to the Yasukuni Shrine!" For this young commander at the same level,
, Masao Nishida did not show any mercy to the other party.
"Liant Commander, ammunition and supplies are now severely consumed, and the wounded continue to receive further treatment. These are all problems that need to be solved."
"Shut up!" Sakata Nobutsu shouted loudly.
Sakata Nobutetsu was still very prestigious, so the group of little Japanese officers immediately fell silent.
"The next thing we have to do is to concentrate our troops and not be attracted by the enemy's small forces. I have sent a telegram to Wuyi for supplies and they will arrive in the near future." Sakata Nobutsu said.
Xihe Village
"Captain, Watanabe is here, and he is bringing along Jin Terauchi, the chief of staff of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade." Dong Jianghui reported.
It was Zhou Weihan's request to let Teruchi Jin come. With a "one of our own" who is familiar with the little devil's situation, the action will be more effective with half the effort.
In addition, this time it was necessary to arrange military exploits for Jin Terauchi, and it was undoubtedly a good excuse for Jin Terauchi to protect the regiment flag under the attack of the Eighth Route Army while fighting while sick.
The threshing floor of Xihe Village.
"It depends on you whether Mr. Terauchi can capture the alliance flag this time." Zhou Weihan said.
"Hi, Mr. Zhou, as long as your army can hand over the regiment flag to me, I will be grateful." Terauchi Jin bowed and said.
"Watanabe-kun, this is the payment for this supply. Please take it back to Terauchi-kun." Zhou Weihan turned to Watanabe and said.
"Nani? Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. This batch of materials cannot be considered as a trade to you!" Watanabe never expected that Zhou Weihan would give money.
"You have to be honest when doing business. Although this is a supply for the Bantian United, isn't it to provide convenience to us? In the end, it is also ours. Please accept it," Zhou Weihan said, holding Watanabe's hand.
"Yo Xi, Mr. Zhou, you are really our good friend." Watanabe quietly put the two gold bars that Zhou Weihan had given him into his pocket.
"Watanabe-kun, I gave this to you, don't worry no one will know." Zhou Weihan said in a low voice.
“Great and good”
Zhou Weihan glanced at Dong Jiang, who immediately understood and sent the box containing the ocean to Watanabe's car.
Watanabe left with satisfaction.
Zhou Weihan knew very well that when cooperating with a money-grubbing person like Terauchi Isamu, he must be fed well before he would work hard to get things done.
"Political Commissar, I will leave first with my people, and you will follow with a large force. Remember not to lose contact with the brigade headquarters," Zhou Weihan ordered.
"Old Zhou, you have to be careful when you go deep into the enemy camp this time," Zhao Gang said worriedly.
"Terauchi-kun, we can set off."
In this way, Zhou Weihan took a small group of Japanese troops disguised as soldiers from the New Second Regiment and a company of puppet troops to escort the supplies and set off.
A small group of Japanese soldiers were carefully selected by Zhou Weihan from each battalion of the New Second Regiment. They were relatively short soldiers with excellent individual qualities, including many who could speak a few words in Japanese. The puppet army was disguised by Dong Jiang and soldiers from the guard company.
.
After Zhou Weihan led the people away, Zhao Gang immediately ordered: "The telegraph operator will send electricity to the brigade headquarters, and all battalions will gather immediately and prepare to set off."
The brigade commander at the brigade headquarters received a telegram from the New Second Regiment. The brigade commander then ordered: "Correspondent, order the 16th Regiment to lead the enemy to the Cangyun Ridge area. The New Regiment will immediately enter the position, and other troops will assemble at the designated location."
