Chapter 749: Do you understand?
Thief Nine: "Once the Japanese feel the danger, they will definitely ask Okamura for help.
Okamura certainly cannot send troops to rescue because of his May Day mop-up operation.
At that time, the Japanese either hid in Weixian for defense or retreated to the Northeast through Chahar.
It would be impossible to defend in Wei County. It was such a small county town, and it was impossible to accommodate two divisions with more than 30,000 people.
Guerrilla divisions don't even need infantry attacks, they can just use artillery bombardment.
If they had half an hour of artillery preparation, they could have killed at least one-fifth of the Japanese devils.
Therefore, the Japanese will definitely leave Weixian and withdraw to Chahar quickly.
After all, the Japanese were a mechanized force. In their impression, the Eighth Route Army could never catch up with them on foot alone.
As long as the Japanese can withdraw from Weixian County, the cavalry units of the guerrilla division will come in handy.
When infantry encounter cavalry on the grassland, it is definitely a disaster for the Japanese."
Qin Haichuan: Comrade Zeijiu is very good. You can see my combat deployment just by looking at a map hundreds of miles away.
Don’t stay in the mountains of southeastern Shanxi anymore, come and be the chief of staff of my Sixth Division!
Li Si asked: "What should the people in Wei County do?
Have they all stopped caring? We can't use the shells to blow them all up, right?"
Thief Nine: "Why would they not care? I guess they will capture Wei County and ask the fellow villagers to leave Wei County in advance."
Li Dabenshi: "I thought the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was not right. So this is what is going on.
So what are we waiting for? Let's attack immediately with all our forces. Even if we can't grab meat to eat, we must grab some soup to drink."
"Political Commissar Feng: "Just calm me down first. What do you want to do in broad daylight?"
You immediately send out a search battalion to scout the road conditions. Once we are ready, we should hurry over there overnight to avoid alerting the enemy."
Chen Feng: "What about the Damaoshan position? We can't just ignore it!"
Li Dabenshi: "Just leave a battalion of troops here and wait for the Second Independent Brigade of East Shanxi to arrive."
The Second Independent Brigade of East Shanxi will not arrive until tomorrow morning. By the time they arrive, Li Dabenshi will have gone out for more than a hundred miles.
The Jindong Independent Division marched for two days and nights and finally reached the outskirts of Yehu Valley.
In order not to reveal their identities,
Some soldiers were wearing Japanese military uniforms and traveling in trucks.
The other part was wearing puppet army uniforms and could only advance on foot.
The two artillery battalions of the Kwantung Army Division finally escaped the attack range of the guerrilla division.
Because the sports car was running too fast, the Japanese draft horses were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth, so they had to slow down.
The two squadron commanders were discussing whether to send someone back to report first.
For some unknown reason, they have not been able to contact their division headquarters until now.
That is to say, when you get here, the radio station will start to play intermittently and you can receive some signal.
"Bakayalu, it seems that there is a magnetic field in the mountains here, which is why it affects the work of our radio station."
Another captain said nonchalantly: "Well, as long as we retreat a few miles, we can contact the division headquarters."
The two of them were discussing their next move when they saw a soldier in front running back to report.
"Reporting to the captain, there is a convoy ahead. The vehicles are filled with the Imperial Army from North China, and there are tens of thousands of Imperial Army troops following behind."
The captains of the two artillery battalions looked at each other and said "Yoshi" repeatedly.
The two of them straightened their uniforms and followed the scouts to the front of the artillery team.
I saw a tricycle coming from the opposite direction, and a Japanese army commander got off.
Then a cavalry team came over, and an officer of the Imperial Army jumped off his horse and came over with the Japanese regiment commander.
When the two artillery battalion commanders saw that the person getting off the car was a company commander, they hurried over to salute.
"Reporting to the commander, I am the commander of the artillery battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 76th Division."
"I am the artillery commander of the 1st Regiment of the 201st Division. May I ask who you are?"
Chen Feng straightened his neat Japanese officer uniform and saluted arrogantly.
"We are the Empire's expeditionary force stationed in North China, the 17th Mixed Brigade, and I am the commander, Junmu Koichi.
This is Li Muchun, the commander of the Second Division of the Hebei Imperial Army, a loyal friend of the empire.
Our brigade commander, Mr. Momoki Saburo, got out of the car at the back.
We heard that an anti-Japanese armed force called the National Detachment suddenly appeared in the Wei County area.
When Commander Okamura heard this, he was very angry.
He asked our 17th Mixed Brigade to dispatch troops immediately to wipe out the group of people who had escaped from Tang County.
These people from the Imperial Army are here to cooperate with us to fight in Wei County.
What's your situation? Didn't you say that the Kwantung Army came to support us and attack Tang County from Damao Mountain?
Where is your main force? Why are there only two artillery battalions operating alone?
Also, what was the situation with the gunfire in the distance just now?"
The regiment commander had an arrogant expression on his face and did not take the Kwantung Army seriously at all.
Although the Kwantung Army was usually very arrogant, the two battalion commanders did not dare to disobey the regiment commander Junmu Tsuyoshi.
You have to know that Okamura came from the Kwantung Army back then, and he has extensive connections in the Kwantung Army now.
Otherwise, he would not be able to arbitrarily borrow troops from the Kwantung Army to fight.
They had already found out before they came that the Momoki Mixed Brigade was a brigade directly under Okamura.
Even their two division commanders had to be polite to Tao Mu when they saw him, let alone their two artillery battalion commanders.
A captain said: "Report to Lord Junmu, our regiment was attacked by the Chinese army.
We were able to escape only under the cover of the main force of the regiment."
"Pah, pah!"
"Bakayalu, how could the imperial soldiers escape? They have no choice but to turn around. Do you understand?"
The two artillery battalion captains were each hit by Chen Feng's big bidou.
But the two of them did not dare to resist. They could only lower their heads in shame and bowed to apologize.
After all, these two captains fled without firing a single shot because they were afraid of the fight.
If Brigade Commander Taomu was serious and really shot them both, I'm afraid his own division commander would have nothing to say.
“Alright Junki-kun, they protect the Empire’s heavy weapons.
Those who prevented the artillery from falling into the hands of Chinese soldiers are also credited with merit, and we should not be too harsh on them.”
The person who was speaking was Zejiu who got out of the car, the so-called "Captain of Taomu Brigade".
"Hi!"
Chen Feng bowed to Zeijiu, and then introduced him to the Japanese captain.
"This is the commander of our 17th Mixed Brigade, His Excellency Momoki Saburo.
General Tao Mu, these two artillery battalion commanders belong to the 76th and 201st Divisions of the Kwantung Army. "
Comrade Zeijiu, who has a Rendan mustache and is wearing a straight major general's uniform, looks quite like a Japanese general.
Their Jindong Independent Division suffered a lot on their way here.
Later, they were lucky enough to find a Japanese logistics base and seized a batch of Japanese cars from there.
Fortunately, the Japanese here implemented radio silence in advance for the sake of confidentiality, so as not to expose the whereabouts of the independent division.
