"Tuanza, what are they going to do?"

During the march, Fang Ligong asked Chu Yunfei in a low voice.

At this time, they had been marching for more than five hours with the first battalion of the Independent Regiment, and judging from their position, they had already entered the area under the actual control of the devils, and according to the current pace of marching, after a while, they would arrive at the highway patrolled by the Japanese army.

"I don't know."

Chu Yunfei glanced at Li Yunlong in front of him.

"He didn't tell you?"

Fang Ligong was a little surprised.

So what did these two heads talk about after talking together for so long just now?

"Hmph."

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly, the corners of his eyes twitched faintly, and his tone was full of helplessness: "This person ······"

Recalling the chat with Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei felt that his head was big.

After staying in the independent regiment for a few days, he felt that his relationship with Li Yunlong was a little better, so he had a discussion with Li Yunlong just now, firstly to find out the purpose of this time, and secondly, to take the opportunity to inquire about the source of these weapons and materials.

As a result, Li Yunlong talked about it for a long time, chatting a lot of messy things, but Chu Yunfei didn't even get a single useful information.

This made Chu Yunfei feel a little frustrated.

He Chu Yunfei has seen a lot of people in the past 30 years, and he has even fought with many Japanese spies during this period, but it is the first time he has encountered this kind of person who is like a hedgehog, who seems to think out of his mind and has no logic when he speaks, but he speaks without leakage.

No matter how you look at it, this is not like a person who has not read a book and came out of the countryside.

What's more, what's even more bizarre is that during the two-hour conversation, both sides praised each other unabashedly, and the chat atmosphere was so pleasant that it was even two hours of chatting.

"As for what he's going to do?"

Chu Yunfei's eyes narrowed, and his tone suddenly became extremely expectant:

"I can't really guess it now."

If it was before, that is, two hours before he broke with Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei could still guess what Li Yunlong wanted to do with this battalion through normal thinking, after all, military operations were nothing more than that, but now, he had re-acquainted himself with Grand Master Li.

What does this guy want to do?

Who can guess a normal person?

"Huh?"

Fang Ligong was puzzled again:

"It's just a possibility, isn't it?"

"The strength of a battalion, with an artillery company, even if they have relatively strong weapons and equipment, there is no possibility of penetrating deep into the Japanese position, and the supply does not support long-distance penetration."

"I speculate that he should be planning to enter the rear of the devil and launch a surprise attack to attract the attention of some Japanese troops, and even mobilize some Japanese troops to encircle and suppress and reduce the pressure on the front line."

Chu Yunfei nodded, seemingly agreeing with this inference:

"Under normal logic, this is the only possibility."

"But our current march direction leads to the middle of the two attack waves of the Japanese army, and the raid here to attract devil troops does not have much effect, and the time that can be bought is limited."

"Even if you can buy half a day."

Fang Ligong insisted on his judgment:

"The time for them to hold on to the first line of positions is too short, presumably the second line will not last long, they can have half a day, they can transfer more than half a day, and they can also build a position for more than half a day."

"However, this course of action is really strange..."

As he spoke, Fang Ligong suddenly became unconfident in his judgment:

"Whether it is a feint attack on the devil stations on the left and right flanks, or the destruction of roads and bridges, these can more effectively delay the actions of the Japanese army, but they go in this direction."

"In front of this, it's just a mountain road, and it's not the main marching route, so it doesn't make much sense to get here."

"Herein lies the problem."

"This can't be that Li Yunlong didn't expect that he could achieve a regiment commander position, and he won so many battles, it was impossible to think of it, so why did he choose this position?"

Chu Yunfei accentuated his tone:

"And this action of his was not even approved by his superiors."

"That's why I said, it's hard to imagine what this person will do."

"I think that when we were in Cangyunling, we thought he was finished, thinking that he would never be able to escape from the palm of Sakata's hand, but as a result, he not only retreated, but also defeated the Sakata United, and even killed the Wing Captain."

"It's true, this person, the way of thinking and acting is incomprehensible." Fang Ligong also recalled this incident and nodded frequently.

"Since we can't guess, let's watch the show."

Chu Yunfei patted his tweed coat: "In addition, did you find out, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, did not march with the troops, and the artillery company only had four 82 mortars, and Political Commissar Zhao also brought two Type 92. ”

"But their artillery battery has six 82 guns, where did the remaining two go?"

"Tuanza, I just remembered what you said."

Only then did Fang Ligong react.

After marching for so long, he didn't notice this, after all, the mortars company usually had four 82 mortars that were already full quota, and their 358th Regiment mortar company was only four, and suddenly there were two less, and he really didn't notice it for a while.

"Didn't go to the frontal line of defense, and didn't follow a battalion."

Fang Ligong thought about it and guessed in disbelief:

"It's impossible to stay in Yang Village, right?"

"Or do they still have a force operating in stealth? But what is the purpose? Two guns, at most, the strength of a reinforced company or a battalion, what can this force do? ”

"I don't know"

Chu Yunfei smiled and his tone was full of expectation: "Let's see a good show, let's wait and see." ”

······

Just as Grand Master Li was marching towards the predetermined ambush site.

Jiao County.

In a hidden grass, Wang Xikui saw the observer Shunzi who was rushing back through the observation glass, and his position was parallel to the road where Shunzi was walking, about 200 meters away.

And in the circular field of view of the eight-fold adjustable observation glass, he also found that three hundred meters behind Junko, there seemed to be a tail.

This should be a second devil, Wang Xikui judged, although this person is also wearing a bitter peasant suit, but it is not difficult to see from his actions that this is obviously not a farmer who has been working in the field for a long time.

Without that peasant, there would have been such a hidden move.

This person followed Junko three hundred meters behind, but was only more than four hundred meters away from him in a straight line.

At this distance, and in today's windless weather, he can guarantee that one shot will kill him, and there will be no survivors.

Turning his head to look at the sniper rifle around him that was ready to shoot at any time, Wang Xikui hesitated for a second and decided to let go of this second devil, so he continued to look at Junzi with the observation scope in his hand.

Junko, who is only twenty years old, is very young, but he is also a veteran who has been in the army for more than a year, and after many actions with him, he is already extremely sophisticated, obviously he also found this tail, but he did not make any other moves, but naturally entered a village, and then entered a thatched hut without any abnormality.

Tail watched for a while, and after listening to the hut, he left.

After some time, Junzi walked up with the sickle in his hand, and finally walked up to Wang Xikui.

"What's going on?"

Wang Xikui asked, "Why did you bring a tail here?" ”

After they arrived in Jiaoxian, they got in touch with the underground comrades here, and three days later, it was the day when the chief of staff of Miyano arrived in Jiaoxian, so he asked Junko to go to the county seat with the comrades here to inquire about the situation.

"The devils in Jiaoxian County have blocked the county seat."

"Now the locals can't enter the county, so I can't go in, and the devil has also strengthened the surveillance of people from other places, and this tail is here to spy on me."

Junko put down the sickle and the back basket, and his tone was unprecedentedly solemn: "In addition, our two strongholds in the county were discovered by devils, but the comrades escaped, but several comrades lurking in the two devils were arrested. ”

"This ······"

The last news made Wang Xikui sigh, and his brows furrowed deeply.

The discovery of the stronghold is not good news.

With the devil's control of the county seat, it is not easy to establish a stronghold in the city.

As for the hidden comrades being caught, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the arrested comrades to come back, and the two strongholds were attacked by the devils at the same time, and none of the hidden comrades ran away, which shows that the devils must have some specific information.

Even, there may be a leak.

Thankfully, however, it's all a one-line connection, and the organization won't be devastated.

"Where's Su Li?"

After a moment of silence, Wang Xikui changed the subject: "Is he okay?" ”

Su Li, the comrade of the small village where they stayed, is also a senior underground party, and he went to find out the news with Shunzi before.

"It's fine."

Junko replied:

"Su Lige stopped in the village in front of him, intending to inform the other comrades of the situation, so that the other notices that might be exposed could be avoided for a while, he is a local, so there is no tail to follow him."

"That's good."

Wang Xikui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, let's go tell Captain Wang."

The two immediately told Wang Gensheng the news.

Wang Gensheng, who came to Jiaoxian County in advance to check the terrain, also frowned after getting this news:

"Now, I'm in trouble."

Ambushing a convoy of a lieutenant general, this is not an easy task.

It is not difficult for the spy company led by Zhang Dabiao to ambush this convoy, and with the fire support of two mortars, it can even win easily, and it is not difficult for the two battalions led by Regiment Commander Ding Wei to contain the devils in Jiaoxian, although the devils in Jiaoxian are strong, but their main force is stationed in a village and town in Jiaoxian, which is some distance from the highway, and it is no problem to take the initiative to contain them for an hour.

In this task, the difficult part is to determine the specific ambush location.

There are two highways around Jiaoxian, and one of these two roads goes east and the other goes north, and so far, the independent regiment does not know which road this old devil will choose to travel.

Among the information given by Chen Fan, there was only the specific time when this old devil set off.

Once the direction is wrong, the spies can't even ambush in advance, and they can't even eat the ashes of the devil's convoy with a pair of legs.

Therefore, the predetermined plan of the independent regiment was to send people into the city to keep an eye on the direction of the devil's convoy to prepare for leaving the city, and then pass it from person to person, point to point, through archery, flags and other covert means to people outside the city, and then the comrades outside would ride horses to inform the special agent company to set up an ambush on the road in advance.

Now, without the advance notification of the comrades in the city, after the devil locks down the city, no one can enter the station, so he can only send people outside the city to keep an eye on it, which will waste a lot of time, and it is not good because of this time, which leads to the failure of the ambush.

"If only there was a radio."

Wang Gensheng scratched his head: "Or carrier pigeons, this thing is also faster than people to deliver news." ”

If you can equip a few radios, as long as you find the direction of the devil out of the city, you will immediately notify the spy company waiting between the two highways to go to the predetermined ambush location, which is easy and troublesome, where is there such a trouble.

Or there are carrier pigeons, and the spies carry pigeon cages, and people outside the city immediately release pigeons when they find out about the direction of the devil's convoy, which is much faster than people.

"Where do we have that thing?"

Wang Xikui rolled his eyes: "And the devil is very strict with carrier pigeons, and once he finds someone raising him, he will be killed immediately." ”

"Captain, what now?"

Junko asked.

"Go to that mountain."

Wang Gensheng had already prepared, and he pointed to a high mountain in the distance:

"You and Cao Mantang two groups of people, Cao Mantang is guarding outside the city, you are watching from the mountain, there is an eight-fold mirror, where can you see the entire Jiaoxian, after discovering the devil's convoy, use the flag to notify the signal soldiers under the mountain to notify the special agent company."

"However, be careful, there may be devils on the mountain near the barracks outside the devil city, be careful not to expose them."

"Yes."

Wang Xikui nodded.

······

At the brigade headquarters, the sound of ticking telegrams was endless, the sound of clicking telephones, and from time to time cavalry signal corps came to report the news, and they were busy.

Staff Officer Luo looked at the news in his hand, and the expression on his face was very interesting.

He walked into the room and said to the brigade commander on the table:

"You really guessed it, I sent someone to take a look, Li Yunlong is really not on the position."

"Huh?"

The brigade commander was also apparently surprised.

He just habitually let people see if Li Yunlong was honest, but he didn't expect to really see the problem.

Then the brigade commander slapped the table and scolded:

"What did he do again? This dog thing, at this time, you still give me a moth. Don't look at the time, now the headquarters can be behind him, if something goes wrong, labor and management kill him"

"He is missing with a battalion, but there are two main battalions and a cavalry battalion on the position, and the artillery is also on the position, and the total strength is about 1,400 men."

Staff Officer Luo's tone was full of surprise.

In addition, Zhao Gang said that even if there is no battalion, the independent regiment can protect the security of the headquarters.

"With one battalion missing, there can still be more than 1,400 people?"

The brigade commander was also surprised.

Then, he seemed to react, and snorted twice: "Zhao Gang actually let Li Yunlong come to Hu, it seems that this kid has also been taken badly, and it is indeed the red who is close to Zhu and the black who is close to the ink." ”

"Then Li Yunlong and the first battalion..."

Staff Officer Luo asked.

"Just let this kid go away for a while, and if something goes wrong, come back and kill him." The brigade commander's words unconsciously changed from shooting him to killing him.
