Chapter 185 The Japs are out!
The attack on the Baijin Railway is in full swing.
That night, explosions resounded throughout the Baijin Railway from as far as the Duanliu section, and the various strongholds along the railway were also bustling with activity.
Each blocking force also set off early and headed to blocking locations to block the Japanese and puppet troops who were going for reinforcements.
The independent regiment also carried its equipment and marched towards Yushe County.
If it were another regiment, if they were to block thousands of Japanese and puppet troops, they would definitely not think of turning the blocking battle into a battle of annihilation.
And Li Yunlong not only wanted to eat the enemy reinforcements in one bite, but also wanted to hunt rabbits and capture the county seat!
In Li Yunlong's words, the superior's order is to block the attack. As for how I block the attack, it doesn't matter.
The area around Yushe was guarded by the Banjin Brigade of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese North China Front.
More than 1,500 Japanese and puppet troops were stationed in the county, various strongholds and bunkers.
Yushe County is an important hub for the transportation of ammunition and supplies for the Japanese army. It is garrisoned by more than 400 people from two squadrons of the Japanese army and more than 300 puppet troops.
In order to reinforce the Baijin Railway, the commander of the brigade, Major Itazin Toshinao, gathered 1,000 Japanese and puppet troops.
Banjin Toshizhi received the order yesterday to lead the troops to retake Guanshan Town and clear out the Eighth Route Army on the railway line from Baijin Railway to Guanshan.
At the west gate of Yushe County, more than 400 Japanese troops and more than 500 puppet troops were waiting.
Although these Japanese were short and bow-legged, they were all strong, their faces glowed with good nutrition, and the muscles in their arms and feet looked strong.
Carrying a 38-meter cap with a bayonet on his shoulder, just standing there, you can feel a strong murderous aura from those Japanese soldiers.
In front of the West City Gate, Toshinao Itatsu told Sou Fujimoto: "Fujimoto-kun, I will lead the team to the Baijin Railway. All defense matters in Yushe County will be left to you to take care of. Yushe County is an important hub for the transfer of ammunition and supplies for the imperial army.
, I don’t want anything to go wrong!”
Sou Fujimoto paused and said: "Hai!"
Sou Fujimoto is a Japanese man about thirty-five years old. He wears a pair of glasses and looks somewhat elegant.
Before joining the army, he was an outstanding student majoring in architecture at Tokyo University of Science, and was regarded by his teachers as one of Japan's most promising future architects.
After graduation, Sou Fujimoto did not choose to be an architect, but joined the army and became an imperial soldier.
He combined architectural practice with fortifications, and the fortifications he directed were very original.
Most of the fortresses in and around Yushe County were built by Sou Fujimoto, and even the city walls were re-reinforced by him.
Itazu Jun said straightly: "Fujimoto-kun, you are an outstanding architect and an outstanding imperial soldier. This is why I entrust you with the defense of Yushe County. However, Tubal Road is very cunning, so you cannot take it lightly!"
Sou Fujimoto said sternly: "Major, please rest assured, the city is alive and the people are alive, but the city is dead and the people are dead!"
Jun Itazu patted Fujimoto on the shoulder, with a satisfied look on his face: "Yo Xi!"
"Open the way!" Itazu Jun waved his hand, then turned around, opened the door and got into the co-pilot of the military truck.
Sou Fujimoto paused and said: "I wish Major a triumphant return as soon as possible!"
A three-wheeler and two trucks opened the way in front, followed by the Japanese soldiers carrying guns and Major Itatsu's special vehicle, and finally the puppet troops.
Carrying marching packs on their backs, these Japanese soldiers lined up in two columns and filed out of the west gate with neat steps.
The puppet soldiers also held their heads high, braced themselves, and kept up with the pace of the Japanese.
The Japanese and puppet troops first walked southward along the Yuliao Highway for a while, then turned around and headed towards Guanshan Town.
The Langya team was lying in the woods beside the road, looking at the marching Japanese and puppet troops, and couldn't help but take a slight breath.
Ge Erdan cursed and said: "Look at those two devils, that devil is not their father, they are all like their mother's blood."
Wang Gensheng sneered and said: "Don't look at how arrogant these puppet troops are now. When the gunfire sounds, they will definitely run faster than anyone else."
"Not necessarily." Yang Dahe said, "When the puppet army fights alone, it is true that there is no need to fight. With the Japanese around, they will not be defeated in a single fight."
"That's when they encounter other troops." Tiezi said, "If they encounter our independent regiment, let alone the puppet army, even the Japanese will not survive."
There was no fear on Duan Peng's face, but instead he was a little excited: "Brothers, why don't we kill him and then run away? The Japanese and puppet troops will definitely not be able to catch up."
"Don't be impulsive." Wang Xikui said in a deep voice, "Our mission is to detect the enemy situation in Yushe County. If we are exposed, we will not be able to complete the mission assigned to us by the battalion commander."
"Damn it, there are really a lot of Japanese troops out!" Wang Xikui held a sniper rifle and observed with a telescope, "Two infantry cannons, two mountain cannons, Type 92 heavy machine guns, crooked machine guns, forcing
Shooting cannons and grenade launchers are meant to make our independent regiment rich."
Chen Feng asked in surprise: "Aren't your regiment going to attack the county town?"
"You have only been in the Independent Group for a short time and don't know our leader."
Not only did Chen Feng have a curious look on his face, but Duan Peng also pricked up his ears.
Wang Xikui put down his telescope and continued: "We attacked the puppet cavalry camp in Wanjia Town and also attacked the Japanese railway station. We hunted rabbits in the Dahu Pavilion stronghold and ate the eighth mixed brigade of the puppet army. Hehe, our regimental commander beat the Japanese.
, never makes a choice, he wants them all!”
"Of course, our battalion commander is just like the regiment commander. He never knows what it means to give up when you are ready. He only knows how to kill you while you are sick."
Chen Feng: "...your group is really special."
Duan Peng had a very interested expression on his face. Hearing this, he wanted to attack the county town.
Yang Dahe said to Chen Feng: "Chen Feng, if you ask me, don't go back to your Central Army. You might as well stay and work together as the Eighth Route Army. Do you think we can fight against the Japanese now?"
Chen Feng glanced at the road and saw that the Japs and puppet soldiers were almost gone, so he said: "Let's put on the Japs' clothes and go into the county town. Remember, try not to talk. You are not proficient in Japanese yet.
The more people there are, the easier it is to be exposed, so leave it to me to communicate with the Japanese."
"Understood!" Everyone in the Langya team nodded.
Seeing Chen Feng changing the subject, Yang Dahe was also a smart man and stopped trying to persuade him endlessly.
Later, in addition to Wang Xikui and Tiezi, Yang Dahe, Ge Erdan, and Duan Peng changed into the uniforms of Japanese soldiers, and Chen Feng changed into the uniform of a second lieutenant.
Wang Xikui and Tiezi found a commanding height outside the west city gate, observing and recording the bunkers outside the city, and preparing to take cover.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Feng and three people wearing Japanese military uniforms and carrying Sanba Gai rushed out of the woods onto the road.
Walking swaggering towards Yushe County.
