Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed
Chapter 183 Lin Qiang: Two brigades of devils, you think too highly of me!
Duan Peng woke up?
Lin Qiang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news, and the worries in his heart also dissipated.
Duan Peng, Heshang, Huzi, Qiangzi and others can be said to be his right-hand men and are indispensable. The loss of any one of them will be a big blow to Lin Qiang.
Lin Qiang knew that Duan Peng must have a lot to say to him right now. Considering that the operation had just been completed and his current condition was still unstable, Lin Qiang did not go to see him immediately.
"Go tell him that I'm leading the team on a mission and ask him to recover well. I'll see him when I return."
"Ok."
Zhao Yuling looked back almost every three steps and left reluctantly.
Just as he was leaning on the bed thinking about the next development direction, the ringing of the phone interrupted Lin Qiang's thoughts.
Who would call at this late hour?
"Hey?"
"it's me."
The voice of the brigade commander came from the phone, but it sounded a little solemn.
"Commander, you called me so late at night. Do you have any mission?"
Lin Qiang couldn't help but feel worried. The brigade commander would only speak in this tone when the situation was not optimistic.
"We just received accurate intelligence that two brigades of Japanese soldiers are heading towards the county town, carrying heavy weapons. Their specific purpose is unknown, but..."
The brigade commander didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear. He was probably targeting the independent battalion.
Laiyuan County is far away from the Eighth Route Army's defense zone, and after the Yamamoto special forces' attack failed, the Eighth Route Army headquarters noticed it and has now moved to a safer and more secretive location.
Based on past situations, if the Japanese wanted to launch a large-scale sweep, they would only send more troops.
The two brigades of Japanese soldiers were not enough to pose a big threat to the Eighth Route Army's defense zone in northwestern Shanxi.
Then there is only one possibility, that the target of these two brigades is Lin Qiang's independent battalion.
The strength demonstrated by the independent battalion in one battle shocked all the teams, and even Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Chongqing, was dumbfounded.
The Japanese naturally would not give Lin Qiang the opportunity to grow stronger again, and they must do everything they can to strangle him in the cradle.
Besides, the Japanese are not stupid. The location of the independent battalion can directly hit their vital points. Once the connection between several county towns is cut off and the county train stations are controlled, the Japanese will lose all their advantages in northwestern Shanxi.
All the guesses in my mind could not be confirmed. The brigade commander only told me that the Japanese from two brigades were on their way, and perhaps there was other information that he did not tell me.
"Brigade Commander, do you have any other information?"
"This is the only information I have at the moment. I have already sent people to continue investigating."
The brigade commander's tone grew increasingly serious. "This time, the Japs aren't coming for headquarters, much less for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. In my opinion, it's more likely they're targeting you. However, this is just my own speculation. Regardless, I must investigate the Japs' true purpose."
"You can't just cry for a long time and still not know who died!"
"But you must also prepare for the worst. Before the investigation is complete, you must be prepared to meet the enemy. Also, I will notify all teams that if such a situation occurs, reinforcements must be sent at all costs."
Lin Qiang felt warm in his heart and said, "Thank you, Brigade Commander!"
"It should be me thanking you!"
The brigade commander finally changed back to his previous conversational tone, sounding much more comfortable: "It's our entire 386th Brigade who thanks you. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, who knows how long this battle would have lasted. To be honest, I've put all my hopes on you guys, especially you. If you embarrass me in front of the boss and the others, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
"Brigadier, don't worry!"
Lin Qiang vowed, "I can't say anything else, but when it comes to fighting the Japanese, no one in our 386th Brigade can beat me!"
"I believe you, kid!"
The brigade commander finally warned, "Remember, do not let your guard down. No matter what the intentions of the two brigades are, your independent battalion must be prepared to fight at any time. We must never let something like Kong Jie happen again!"
"Yes!"
After the brigade commander finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and Lin Qiang also slowly put down the receiver.
The emergence of two Japanese brigades gave him some inspiration for his development plan.
After the battle of Xiaowangzhuang, the Japanese soldiers in Anhua County and Laiyuan County suffered heavy losses. Now they are huddled in the county and dare not come out. The surrounding artillery towers and strongholds are like leeks in the field. If you pull them out, the Japanese will rebuild them.
As for the direction of Ping'an County, Lin Qiang thought there was no point in going there.
First of all, the main source of supplies for the New 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the New 2nd Regiment came from the Japanese in Ping'an County. After being robbed many times, the Japanese became more prepared.
If I get involved at this time, won’t the already limited cake be eaten up in one bite?
So, in Lin Qiang's opinion, the information from the brigade commander is not necessarily a bad thing.
First of all, even if the target of these two brigades is the independent battalion, it will take them some time to formulate a combat plan even if they arrive in the county town.
It is even more impossible to blindly launch an encirclement and suppression war like last time. They will definitely collect intelligence from all aspects and make long-term plans.
The Japanese in the county town suffered many defeats, proving that their intelligence was completely inaccurate. Lin Qiang was sure that the Japanese would collect intelligence again.
Maybe after a few days, several Japanese troops would come close to conduct reconnaissance or even test the situation.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiang came up with his first plan in his mind.
Hu Zi and Heshang were still "detained" by the brigade commander at the brigade headquarters, but Heshang formed a guard platoon. The number of people was small, but all of them were good fighters.
Lin Qiang shouted to the door, "Go, call Zhang Yuntian and Wu Zhe and tell them there's an important mission."
"Yes!"
There was a response from outside the house, and then the footsteps became farther and farther away.
Zhang Yuntian was mainly responsible for the affairs of the base, so he appeared outside the door very quickly. Wu Zhe's task was to defend the sub-base. There was a distance between the two places, so he arrived more than ten minutes later than Zhang Yuntian.
After the two arrived, Lin Qiang said, "We've received accurate intelligence that two Japanese brigades are heading our way. They're likely targeting us. Considering the last battle, the Japanese will definitely be gathering intelligence on our independent battalion again."
"I called you here because I have an important mission for you two."
Zhang Yuntian and Wu Zhe asked at the same time: "What mission?"
"Yuntian, your mission is to go to Yuanyuan County and Anhua County to collect intelligence and find out what the Japanese's purpose is this time."
Zhang Yuntian replied: "Yes!"
"Wu Zhe, your mission is simple. Hu Zi is out and about, so you're temporarily in charge of his troops. Together with yours, there are a total of four to five hundred people. I don't care what method you use, but you have to make this group of several hundred people create the appearance of a main force. During this time, there may be a Japanese reconnaissance force coming, and you must let them know of this illusion."
Wu Zhe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Captain, is anything really possible?"
"That's right!"
Lin Qiang knew exactly what this guy was thinking, so he was straightforward and said, "As long as we can complete the mission, you can use all the weapons and equipment in the battalion. But you can't use the tanks. It's not time to show them off yet."
"Don't worry, Captain!"
Wu Zhe was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He said with a smile: "I promise to give the Japanese a big surprise!"
