Chapter 624: The Mine Protection Team's Plan

The sudden appearance of the mine protection team in Shandong caught the Japanese troops stationed in Shandong a little unprepared, first of all, they were not sure that such a force suddenly appeared to belong to that force. However, the Japanese army meeting did not delay the investigation of the mine protection team.

When the mine protection team moved, a Japanese scout followed the mine protection team not far away, and they had no intention of blocking the mine protection team.

Of course, Shen Zhengwen knew about the tracking of the Japanese scouts, but it was daytime, and the sun was shining, so he had no way to get rid of the Japanese scouts. Of course, Shen Zhengwen couldn't even turn around and kill the Japanese scouts, maybe the Japanese army was waiting for an opportunity nearby.

What Shen Zhengwen hoped most was that it would get dark soon, but it was not yet noon, and there was still a long time before it got dark, so the soldiers of the mine protection team could only hurry up.

Similarly, the scouts of the Japanese army wanted their large forces to arrive quickly, and in case the Chinese troops in front of them suddenly turned back to attack them, they wanted their lives, and it was estimated that they would really be loyal to their emperor.

At present, the Japanese army in Hebei is still fully aware of what happened in Shandong, and they have turned the border of Hebei upside down, but they have not found any trace of the unit that attacked them.

"Did you really put on your wings and fly away?"

The commander of the Japanese army was very puzzled, this army suddenly appeared, first attacked Baoding, then attacked Cangzhou, and then the Pinghan Railway was also bombed and could not be opened to traffic in a short time, and now it is said that it will disappear, how can he not wonder in his heart.

In order to give a better explanation to his superiors, the Japanese commander had to order all the troops to find the Chinese army that attacked them.

"Your Excellency Commander, our intelligence officers have received information from within the enemy, and it is not clear that such a unit exists in the New 33rd Army!"

In order to thoroughly understand the unit that attacked them, the commander of the little devil ordered the spies lurking in the New 33rd Army to investigate the news of this unit. However, the spies investigated and found that no troops of the New 33rd Army had infiltrated behind enemy lines.

This is really haunted, the commander of the little devil thought to himself, a non-existent force disrupted all their plans, this is simply impossible, the new 33rd Army must be hiding its strength.

The Japanese army thought about what happened before and after the war, if this unit was really a unit deliberately hidden by the New 33rd Army, then Liao Fan had already expected the course and result of the entire battle.

Thinking of this, the Japanese commander instantly wet the clothes on his back with sweat. If it was really as he thought, then Liao Fanke would be really terrifying, not only did he have a hidden army, and when they were waiting for their victory, he would turn the tide of the battle, but he could also make this army withdraw quietly.

If they can really meet such an opponent, they will not lose at all in the Jingcheng area.

However, the Japanese commander was obviously thinking too much, and in his mind the whole battle was a conspiracy theory. In fact, on the contrary, Liao Fan did not expect that the Japanese army in Hebei would do their best to compete with them for the Jingcheng mining area, let alone that the battle in the Jingcheng mining area would be so tragic.

What also surprised Liao Fan was that in the end it was the mine protection team that did not even have a regular army to save the war. It is precisely because the mine protection team did not attract the attention of the little devil spies in the regular establishment of the new 33rd Army that it missed this information.

However, these coincidences did not expect to make the neighboring officers of the Japanese army in Hebei think of a whole set of conspiracies. If it weren't for the news from Shandong an hour later, he would simply throw himself on the five bodies that Liao Fan worshipped, planning to place a statue of Liao Fan under their emperor, and then worship it every day.

When he learned that a unit appeared in Shandong, the decadent little devil commander was able to avoid the conspiracy theory he came up with. It turned out that the troops who attacked them had run to the boundary of Shandong, so they did not find any traces of this force.

On the territory of Shandong, he no longer had the right to pursue and destroy this army, he could only order the troops to blockade the important area of Shandong into Hebei, and once they entered Hebei, the Japanese army would destroy this Chinese army on the spot.

But when Shen Zhengwen decided to expose the action, he had no intention of returning to Hebei, even a fool could figure it out that the Japanese army was waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

While the troops were marching, Shen Zhengwen was thinking about countermeasures, and now the Japanese army in Hebei and the Japanese army in Shandong obviously wanted to cooperate with each other, and then drive them into an encirclement.

Of course, Shen Zhengwen would not take the mine protection team to fulfill the wish of the little devil.

After a day of rapid marching, the sky finally gradually darkened, and the Japanese scouts deliberately shortened the distance between them and the mine guards in order to keep up with the mine guards.

"We have to kill the scouts who are following us first, or the Japanese will always know where we are wherever we go!" Shen Zhengwen said to several officers beside him.

"Captain, we listen to you!"

"We are now on the boundary of Liaocheng, and further south is Tai'an, if the Japanese army does not intercept us in Liaocheng, then we will definitely arrange troops in Tai'an to block our way and force us to go back!"

Shen Zhengwen analyzed the plans of the Japanese army, for a whole day, they were not stopped by the Japanese army, and now the Japanese army must have arranged their troops to wait for work.

"Here's what I'm going to ......"

Shen Zhengwen began to tell his officers about his plans, it was already dark, once the battle started, the troops would definitely be easy to disperse, they had to find a meeting point first, and then continue the next operation when the soldiers arrived.

"Our first meeting point is here, remember, just wait for a day, and when the time is over, no matter how many people don't arrive, we have to evacuate!"

Shen Zhengwen told his officers that if they wanted to escape and ascend to heaven, they had to arrange a detailed plan.

"Now let the troops move on, the first squadron will deal with the Japanese scouts, and the second and third squadrons will be responsible for destroying the Japanese troops blocking in front of us!"

The order for the protection team was given in the middle of the process, and each soldier checked his equipment as he went, because there was a tough battle to be fought next.

Yinshan is an ordinary town that can not be different, although the local people are often oppressed by the puppet army, but the life is still passable, and there is no need to go out to ask for food all year round, but the local people can run long ago, and no one wants to honestly be obedient to the little devil.

However, just this afternoon, the troops of a wing of the Japanese army entered such an unknown town, and the local people were so frightened that they hid in their homes, closed their doors, and did not dare to go out.

The Japanese controlled all access roads to and from Silverhill, where they were ready to block the way of the mine guards.

After nightfall, Shen Zhengwen focused on sending the vanguard to reconnoiter the area they were about to pass through. Now that he knew that the Japanese army was already waiting for them, Shen Zhengwen would definitely not rush into the arms of the little devil, at least he was not so enthusiastic about the little devil.

When sending soldiers to explore the way ahead, the mine guard team also monitored the Japanese scouts behind them, and whether the battle ahead was smooth or not, they must eliminate the Japanese scouts, so that they could disappear in the night.

After entering the territory of Tai'an, the vanguard force really exchanged fire with the Japanese troops who had been prepared for a long time in Yinshan Town.

"Go as planned!" Shen Zhengwen ordered all troops to be thrown into battle at once.

"Boom Boom"

In the dark night, the flames of the explosion reflected the faces of the soldiers, and tonight was the most critical night, the soldiers launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army under the cover of artillery fire, regardless of their lives.

The shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the Japanese troops defending Yinshan Town had no idea how many Chinese troops they were facing. It is only known that the Chinese army has been bombarding their defensive positions with mortars without any stop.

The battle was intense from the very beginning, and the shelling was stopped until the barrels of the mortars were all red.

And the first squadron of the mine protection team also went around the back and surrounded the Japanese scouts who followed them all the way, and the Japanese scouts did not have many people, so for the first squadron, there was not much pressure to eliminate the Japanese scouts.

As the fighting continued, the people of the town felt like an earthquake, and they were already about to fall asleep, hiding in the corner with their wives and children shivering, hoping that the shells would not fall on their heads.

The firelight of the battle illuminated the entire town, and the non-stop fire of the machine guns on the commanding heights suppressed the fire of the Japanese troops.

There is no army to set up, only crazy fighting, the brave win when they meet on a narrow road, this is the battle of the brave, and only those who have courage deserve to leave the battlefield alive.

The wing commander of the little devil did not expect that the Chinese army would have such a strong firepower, but there were more than a thousand shells poured down by the mortars, which was enough to destroy the entire town, but the town was not destroyed, because the shells fell on the position of the little devil.

Such an artillery bombardment, no matter how brave the Japanese army was, was difficult to stop, and the Chinese soldiers had already rushed in front of them, bayonet to bayonet, the Chinese soldiers did not dodge, and rushed directly to the bayonet, and the same little devil had to face the oncoming bayonet.

This kind of lifeless dispatch, this is not the first time the little devil has seen it, on the frontal battlefield, the national army has used life for life in this way, so that they have suffered heavy losses, and now they are facing this kind of fighting, and they are still powerless.

Under the fierce attack of the Chinese soldiers, the Japanese defense line began to have holes, the defense line was shaken in one place, and other places were also shaken, and the Japanese army began to retreat, and the little devils who had no time to retreat could only be the guns of the Chinese soldiers.
