Maeda Hide said: "So let the 11th armored train team provide fire support to the strongholds along the line."

"As for the Yamazaki Brigade and the Gangzuo Brigade, wait for the veterans of the Eighth Route Army to get tired and then fight back."

"Hai!" Kimura Yong paused and said to the head of the communications section, "Immediately send a telegram to the 11th armored train team, ordering them to provide fire support to the strongholds along the line."

……

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the 1st Army.

Shinozuka Yoshio thought about the sand table.

Takashi Tanaka came over and paused to report: "Your Excellency, Commander, just received an urgent telegram from the North China Front Army. The strongholds along Pinghan Road and the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Line have also been attacked."

"Really?" Shinozuka Yoshio said sternly, "So the Eighth Route Army in North China is mobilized?"

Tanaka Takashi said: "Except for Shandong, almost all the Eighth Route Army in North China has been mobilized, and at the same time launched a fierce attack on the strongholds along my five main traffic lines."

Yoshio Shinozuka looked back at Kazuki Yamamoto and said, "Yamamoto-kun, did you find anything?"

"Hayi!" Yamamoto Kazuki paused and said, "Judging from the degree of attack on the strongholds along the five main lines of Zhengtai, Tongpu, Baijin, Pinghan, and Jingzhang, at least one of the Eighth Route Army participating in this offensive Hundreds of regiments, and this does not include the so-called guerrilla forces that cooperate in operations.”

"Baga, at least a hundred regiments?!"

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Unconsciously, did the Eighth Route Army expand to such a degree?"

Kazuki Yamamoto said: "So, Commander, I think the Eighth Route Army is more threatening than the Jinsui Army or even the Central Army. If the First Army in Shanxi does not adjust its focus as soon as possible and innovate its tactics, if the Eighth Route Army is allowed to continue to develop like this , the situation will soon get out of control!"

"That's for the future."

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "First pass the eye level before we talk about it."

"The current problem is actually not big." Kazuki Yamamoto said, "This offensive by the Eighth Route Army may seem overwhelming, but in fact it's just a large number of people, and the threat is not great."

"Really?" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Is there any evidence?"

"Of course." Kazuki Yamamoto said, "Because the Eighth Route Army has expanded its troops too quickly in the past two years, resulting in a significant decline in the level of training and equipment, so the combat effectiveness has declined very seriously. With the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, it is not enough in a short period of time. Attack internally and occupy the stronghold guarded by the imperial army."

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "You mean, it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to capture a first-level stronghold in a short period of time?"

"Yes." Kazuki Yamamoto said, "The secondary strongholds on the periphery not only have fewer defensive troops, weak firepower, but also lack solid fortifications, so they are easily captured by the Eighth Route Army by virtue of their strength. It is also very strong, with more solid fortifications, and even the support of the 11th armored train team, so it is absolutely impossible for the Eighth Route Army to quickly take down the first-level strongholds."

Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "So, do you have any good suggestions?"

Kazuki Yamamoto said: "I suggest that the mobile units of the brigades should not attack lightly, and the 9th Brigade, which is the general reserve, should not act rashly. When the Eighth Route Army can't attack for a long time and the veterans are tired, they will surely be given The Eighth Route Army in various bandit areas in Shanxi suffered heavy losses, and may even destroy the Shanxi Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop."

"Yamamoto-kun, your analysis is very good." Shinozuka Yoshio nodded happily.

Immediately, he said proudly: "Although the Eighth Route Army has inadvertently achieved information interception on the battlefield, making the Imperial Army passive for a while, this is not enough to make up for the huge gap in strength between the two sides!"

"Although the imperial army still doesn't know the specific deployment of the Eighth Route Army, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Because no matter what the deployment of the Eighth Route Army is, the result will be the same. They will inevitably smash their heads in front of the first-level strongholds along the main line, and they will fall apart when the imperial army launches a counterattack!"

……

In Baijia Village, the 386th Brigade Headquarters.

The chief of staff would look out from time to time.

The brigade commander asked: "Chief of Staff, what are you looking at?"

The chief of staff said: "Nothing, I'll just take a look."

The brigade commander smiled and said: "Are you waiting for news from Li Yunlong and the others? You are really, what time is it? It has only been two hours since the battle started, how could the news come back so quickly? This time the fight is The large stronghold is completely different from the small stronghold that was fought last night."

"That's true." The chief of staff said, "I'm too greedy."

"Just wait," said the brigade commander, "according to my estimation, this battle will not be imminent, at least it will take three or five days, and it is entirely possible to delay it for ten or eight days."

The chief of staff said: "But Xiao Wang said one to two days."

"That's just the most ideal state." The brigade commander shook his head and said, "But there will always be various emergencies in actual combat, such as the surprise attack of the wolf squad on the armored train, I think the possibility of success is not high. "

"That's true." The chief of staff also said, "I also think that Xiao Wang's entire surprise attack plan is too idealistic, and it is easy to fall short due to various emergencies, but considering that Xiao Wang's enthusiasm cannot be dampened, and Xiao Wang Wang also made a backup plan, so I didn't say much at the time."

The brigade commander said: "That's why I said that clearing all the large strongholds along Zhengtai Road in one to two days is only the result of an ideal state, but the actual result is definitely not so ideal, and it is not impossible to delay it for ten or eight days. , but fortunately, we have made the best preparations for this.”

Chapter 111 The surprise attack succeeded

"Yes."

The chief of staff said: "Not to mention the 120th and 115th divisions, our 129th division alone has 8 regiments in reserve."

"Even if the mobile units of the 4th Brigade in Yangquan, the 8th Brigade in Shimen, and the 9th Brigade in Taiyuan found something was wrong and sent reinforcements frantically, we would still be able to stop them for at least three days! By that time, more than a dozen troops along Zhengtai Road Even if you don’t take all the large strongholds, there is no problem at all if you take half of them.”

"Zhengtai Road must have been completely destroyed."

"The devil doesn't have half a year to fix it."

"Chief of staff, you are too conservative." The brigade commander said with a smile, "let alone three days, ten days will be fine."

"Because the 4th and 8th Brigades of the Japanese Army no longer have much mobile force, the 9th Brigade stationed in Taiyuan maintains a relatively complete organizational system, but it is the general reserve of the entire 1st Army. Road battlefield, as well as the Tongpu Road battlefield and the Baijin line battlefield, how many people will be left when the troops are divided?"

"In short, as long as it does not exceed ten days, Yoshio Shinozuka will have no time to transfer troops from southern Shanxi, and the initiative on the battlefields of Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road, and the Baijin Line will be completely in my hands."

The chief of staff suddenly said: "It's best that Xiao Wang can make a surprise attack."

"It's unlikely." The brigade commander shook his head and said, "And even if the surprise attack succeeds, the armored train probably won't be able to run, and the weapons and equipment on the train are almost destroyed, so it's impossible to use it again."

The chief of staff sighed and said nothing more.

……

Let's talk about Wang Ye later.

Time passed quietly in the boring waiting.

During the period, two ghost boiler workers came in and passed the tender twice, and one of them was less than two meters away from Wang Ye when he shoveled coal.

Wang Ye was even ready to do it in advance.

Fortunately, due to the dim light inside the carriage, the Devil Boilerman did not notice that there was a person hiding in the coal pile in the corner.

Drove a little further,

Wang Ye clearly felt the speed of the train slow down.

Judging from the time, it should have entered the section of Fenghuang Ridge.

Without hesitation, Wang Ye took off the camouflage blanket covering his body, pulled out the bayonet hidden in the shoe strap into his mouth, and silently touched the door of the tender compartment.

The doors of the tender compartments use mechanical locks.

First turn the mechanical winch wheel twice, and then pull it again, and the door will open.

Wang Ye took out the flashlight from his satchel again and flicked it on and off three times!

Since the eight cars of the train were in a straight line, the devils in the six cars in front and the last generator car did not notice the faint flashlight.

But the wolf warriors lurking on both sides of the railway saw it.

After about ten seconds, a black figure followed and rushed in through the car door.

Almost at the moment when the black shadow rushed into the car door, a bright beam of light shone from the security car, illuminating the roadbed and wilderness outside the iron door of the tender as bright as day.

By the light reflected from the embankment and the wilderness,

Wang Ye saw a bald forehead, it was Wei Dayong, this guy's hat was gone.

Wei Dayong's face and forehead were covered with sweat. He had chased the train for more than an hour in a rickshaw. Although there were a few short cuts in the middle, he was still exhausted.

Wang Ye winked, and Wei Dayong also took out the bayonet.

After a while, the searchlight of the security car turned to another place, and the searchlight of the last generator car could not shine on the penultimate tender.

Therefore, the light in the entire tender compartment dimmed immediately.

After a while, a figure flashed in the darkness, and two more black figures rushed up from the open car door.

In just over a minute, except for the white wolf group, all the remaining dozen or so wolves boarded the armored train, including Cheng Yue, who went to the brigade headquarters to learn telecommunications technology, and Cheng Kui.

With a gesture from Wang Ye, Liu Dongtang and Li Sigen led their respective teams to the front of the tender carriage, guarding the locomotive and entering the aisle of the tender carriage.

It happened that two ghost boilermen came in to shovel coal.

The two unlucky devils didn't even notice that people were hiding on both sides of the connecting aisle. Instead, they looked up and saw Wang Ye and others standing in the middle of the tender.

Wang Ye grinned at the two devil boiler workers.

The pupils of the two ghost boiler workers shrank sharply, and they were about to scream when they opened their mouths.

Then there was no chance, and before they could yell out, two big hands reached over and covered their mouths from behind, and the two devil boiler workers choked their throats when they yelled twice. not come out.

Immediately afterwards, four more black figures sprang out from both sides, brandishing their bayonets and stabbing them indiscriminately.

In the dark, only a soft popping sound was heard, and the two devil boiler workers were quickly stabbed into a sieve.

Wang Ye withdrew his gaze, then shook his head slightly at Wei Dayong, Wei Dayong nodded in greeting, and the two of them held bayonets and silently touched the two heavy machine gun nests in the middle of the tender compartment.

On the left and right sides of the aisle in the middle of the tender, there is a small box similar to a train box. Out of the box is a rotatable open cylindrical heavy machine gun nest.

The two small boxes are actually the operating room.

There are two ghost sub-shooters in the operating room, one is responsible for supplying ammunition, and the other is responsible for rotating the machine gun nest. This cylindrical heavy machine gun nest needs to be rotated manually.

This is also the consistent style of Little Japan.

Where manpower can be used, electricity will never be used.

This armored train is equipped with a high-power radio station.

Therefore, the devils on the train must have received a telegram that the strongholds along Zhengtai Road were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, so the machine gun crews of the two heavy machine gun nests were already in place, and the eyes of the two machine gunners followed the searchlights of the security cars. Find the Eighth Route Army in the wilderness on both sides.

The remaining four deputy shooters are also fully focused.

The attention of the six devils was all outside the carriage, unaware that the two war wolves had touched them from inside the carriage.

Wang Ye and Wei Dayong attacked their respective targets almost at the same time, stabbing the back of the devil's head with a knife, and the two devils with their backs to the aisle in the middle didn't even have time to say a word, and lost consciousness instantly!

The other two ghost sub-shooters in the operating room turned around in astonishment. Before they could figure out what was going on, the bayonets of Wang Ye and Wei Dayong had already pierced their mouths, killing them instantly again.

All four little devils had their brain stems pierced and lost consciousness instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the four devils were killed one after another, and now there are only two devil machine gunners in the machine gun nest.

The whole process was so fast that the four ghost sub-shooters didn't even have time to make a movement, so that the two devil machine gunners in the heavy machine gun nest didn't know it.

Wang Ye and Wei Dayong rushed forward with one stride, and stabbed out again.

The two ghost heavy machine gunners also lost consciousness in an instant, and they couldn't pull the trigger.

Wang Ye returned to the aisle and waved towards the middle of the carriage, and Wang Xikui immediately ran over with Zhao Erwa and Huang Shun, guarding the two heavy machine gun nests.

Wang Ye and Wei Dayong didn't even wipe their bayonets, and touched the last generator car.

A few seconds later, the two came to the connecting aisle between the two carriages without making a sound.

There was a door between the tender and the generator, but half of it was left open.

Wang Ye signaled Wei Dayong to be alert, then pushed open the half-covered door a little, and looked inside through the crack of the door, only to see that the light inside the power generation car was very bright.

There are only two devils visible in the field of vision.

One of them was on the phone, and the other was guarding the dashboard.

Looking forward, at the very end of the generator compartment, there are also two heavy machine gun nests.

Not surprisingly, the two heavy machine gun nests should each have a heavy machine gun team, with at least three devils in each group, and maybe four more devils.

In addition, there must be other ghosts at the front of the carriage whose view is blocked.

The light in the generator compartment was bright, and there were so many devils, so there was no way to use bayonets, and guns had to be used.

At the moment Wang Ye made a gesture, the two immediately took out the shell guns from their waists, two for each of them, and took out two sets of simple mufflers from their satchels and stuck them at the front of the barrels.

Then the two rushed into the car with guns in hand.

Sure enough, there were two devils at the front of the carriage that was out of sight just now.

Seeing Wang Ye and Wei Dayong barging in suddenly, these two ghosts were a little stunned, what's going on?Why did two detective teams suddenly break into the car?

Wang Ye and Wei Dayong are wearing the clothes of the detective team.

In the next moment, Wang Ye and the two immediately pulled the trigger: clap clap clap!

Amidst the not-so-loud slaps, the two devils were shot four times in the chest each, and were instantly killed.
