In Jiexiu County.
Just like his superior, Major General Wakamatsu, the captain of the 82nd Independent Infantry Division stationed in Jiexiu was also a lazy bum. Other than occasionally entering the Taihang Mountains to wipe out Tuba Road, he had nothing else to do.
Oh, and there was also the Jiexiu prisoner of war camp that held 2,000 Chinese prisoners of war.
"Great Captain."
When this idle captain finished his dinner early, he saw a messenger walk into the room and report to him,"
"The Exploration Team Department sent a telegram saying that another batch of Chinese prisoners of war arrived in Jiexiu by train this afternoon. The brigade commander asked you to lock these prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp. Considering the capacity of the prisoner of war camp, the brigade commander specially ordered the team to clear out a group of stubborn Chinese prisoners in the prisoner of war camp and strengthen the work of educating the Chinese prisoners of war.”
"Another batch of Chinese captives ~ How many batches is this already?”
Hearing the report from the messenger, the bald captain scratched his head and said helplessly,"
"Let the 3rd Company escort the Chinese prisoners to the camp. As for clearing out the Chinese prisoners…"
He casually picked up a samurai sword from the cabinet and revealed a cruel expression.
"Reuse the trash. Let the 3rd Company select a batch of Chinese prisoners of war to use as tools for the soldiers to practice assassination. Right, Commander Yamamoto also wanted a batch of prisoners to train his special forces, so he would send another batch of Chinese prisoners to Commander Yamamoto.”
"Hey!"
Upon hearing the captain's order, the messenger respectfully lowered his head without a trace of sympathy on his face. After all, it wasn't the first time that the 82nd Battalion had used prisoners of war as targets for assassination and shooting training.
Just as the messenger was about to leave to convey the captain's order, another messenger rushed in and reported loudly,
"Commander, Mianshan Town has sent a telegram. Jiexiu has found traces of the Chinese army on the Tongpu railway in the direction of Lingshi!”
"Is it another rat that sneakily climbed the tracks?”
Hearing the report from the messenger, the bald captain subconsciously thought that it was the Eighth Route Army guerrillas who wanted to destroy the railway. He couldn't help but show a disgusted expression.
Unexpectedly, the messenger's next words made his eyes light up.
"That's not the case, Great Captain. According to the telegram of the captain of the Matsushita squad stationed in Mianshan Town, the captain of the Matsushita squad discovered that the Chinese army was the Eighth Route Army. The number of people was about one strong squadron, and the weapons were quite excellent. It was suspected that they were the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Captain Matsushita did not dare to attack blindly, so he asked for tactical guidance from his team!”
"Oh? The main force of the Eighth Route Army?"
Hearing this, the bald captain immediately turned around with an excited expression on his face.
"Are these rats finally willing to let their main force come down from the mountain?”
"Order the 1st Infantry Squadron, Machine Gun Squadron, and Cannon Squadron to gather immediately and clear out the main force of the 8th Route Army!”
"Hey!"
With this order, Jiexiu County was in an uproar. After the 1st Squadron and Machine Gun Squadron had assembled, they quickly left the city to fight the 8th Route Army under the leadership of the bald captain. The 3rd Company sighed as they received the prisoners of war from China and escorted them to the Jiexiu Prison Camp outside the city.
The scouts outside the county city saw all of this and quickly let a few scouts bring the information back to the command center in Quanzi Gully.
"What is it? There was a Japanese squadron escorting a batch of prisoners to the prisoner of war camp?”
Hearing this, Li Yunlong was shocked.
Zhang Dabiao couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly stood up and said to Li Yunlong,
"Guild Leader, the situation isn't good. If they let this Japanese squadron in, there would be two Japanese squadrons guarding the camp. In a short period of time, I'm afraid our Independent Regiment won't be able to take down the prisoner of war camp.”
"Old Li, why don't we change our plan and ambush the Japanese squadron escorting the prisoners halfway?”
“... No."
Li Yunlong glanced back and forth at the map of Jiexiu, then shook his head gently and said,"
"The scouts discovered that the Japanese squadron was escorting the prisoners out of the city and then came back to report. It has already been delayed. It is impossible for us to set off now to ambush this Japanese squadron.”
He stared at the prisoner of war camp by the Dragon Phoenix River and said in a deep voice,"
"However, the scale of the Japanese prisoner of war camp is not large. It should not be able to accommodate two squadrons of the Japanese. Moreover, the prisoner of war camp was not far from Jiexiu County. After the Japanese squadron escorted the prisoners, they should return to the county.
Since that's the case, there's no need for us to rush to ambush this Japanese squadron. We can wait until they return to the county town before ambushing them!”
"Old Li, this idea is not bad."
Hearing Li Yun Long's suggestion, Kong Jie's eyes lit up and he added,"
"Moreover, we can use the Japanese squadron that we ambushed as bait to lure the Japanese squadron out of the prisoner of war camp. This way, it will be much easier for us to attack the prisoner of war camp.”
"But... Regiment Commander, Vice Regiment Commander Kong, it's hard for us to confirm when this Japanese squadron will come out. What if they just stayed in the prisoner of war camp for a night? The first battalion of the new regiment had already started moving in the direction of the spirit stones. The Japanese had also sent out their troops to pursue them. Regiment Commander Ding and Regiment Commander Cheng from Zhanglan Town and Pingyao were about to take action as well. When the two sides started fighting, who could deny that the Japanese squadron would stay in the prisoner of war camp for the night just in case?”
“……”
After hearing that, Kong Jie fell silent. Li Yunlong stared at Zhanglan Town and Pingyao before saying in a deep voice,"
"Then we'll see how the Japanese react next!”
"What do you think?"
"Let's see if the remaining Japanese in Jiexiu City will leave the city to fight again when Old Ding and Blind Cheng start fighting!”
While speaking, Li Yunlong walked out of the temporary command post and said loudly,"
"Scout!"
"Here!"
"Get on my horse and go back to Jiexiu County to continue monitoring. Once they discover that the Japanese are sending troops in the direction of Pingyao, report back as soon as possible!!”
"Yes!"
Hearing Li Yunlong's order, the scout saluted and then rode Li Yunlong's horse back to Jiexiu County to continue monitoring the movements of the Japanese army in Jiexiu County.
On the Tongpu railway from Pingyao to Zhanglan Town, Ding Wei nodded at Cheng Kang, who immediately shouted,
"Engineer, blow up the Japanese's railway!!”
"Yes!"
With a command, the engineer soldiers who had been busy for a long time lit the detonator and quickly fled. After a while, there was a violent explosion, and the ten-meter-long railway was suddenly blown into a fried dough twist. The thunderous explosion could be heard by the Japanese soldiers in Zhanglan Town and Pingyao.
This was also Ding Wei and Cheng Kang's intention.
"Alright, the Japanese in Pingyao and Zhanglan Town should be moving soon. Next, let's lure the Japanese toward Mount Tai.”
"Yes."
Cheng Kang nodded and looked around. He couldn't help but say,"
“艹! Wasn't this place too flat? He really didn't feel safe at all.”
"If it wasn't for this, the resistance forces here wouldn't be so weak.”
Ding Wei couldn't help but sigh. Then, he chuckled and said,"
"However, the anti-Japanese forces here are weak, so the Japanese troops here shouldn't be so vigilant. If the commander of the Japanese was still a condescending fool, then we would be much more relaxed.”
"Haha, Old Ding, you're still more optimistic.”
While Cheng Kang and Ding Wei were chatting and laughing, he waved at the soldiers of Regiment 772 and said loudly,"
"Comrades, retreat!"
