Chapter 24: How is it so fast!
"Commander."
As soon as Li Yunlong's words fell, a reconnaissance soldier came from the front, this was a plainclothes soldier, he said to Li Yunlong: "Regiment commander, the devil cavalry was found in front. ”
"About half a squad, about thirty devils."
"Huh?"
Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, and his tone was full of vigilance.
In the intelligence, there are no devil soldiers stationed in Fujiayuan, how can there be cavalry all of a sudden?
Could it be ·····
"Devil cavalry!"
Zhao Gang was even more panicked: "Could it be that the devil's troops are already waiting in front of us?" ”
Political Commissar Zhao, who was highly nervous, was very anxious, although the regiment also had a plan after being intercepted, but in that case, the losses would be great, not only would this trip be done in vain, but also many soldiers would be lost.
"Let's go check it out first."
Li Yunlong is very calm.
"Rest in place and take cover."
"Company Commander, assemble."
After ordering the troops to rest and hide, Li Yunlong called the first company in charge of vigilance, and personally took the first company to the front to check the situation: "Come with me to take a look, it stands to reason that the devil should not have arrived here so quickly." ”
From Wendian Village to the mountain road, to Fujiayuan, the total time spent by the independent regiment was no more than three hours, and the march on the mountain road was more than thirteen miles per hour, and it stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible for the devil to appear in front of them now.
Unless, the information given by Brother Chen is wrong.
However, judging from the business of the past year, this probability is very low.
Zhao Gang, who was anxious, also picked up a rifle and followed. Ding Wei, who had not spoken, also went along.
After seeing the group of devil cavalry, everyone relaxed.
"There are no devil troops around, this should be a group of devil vanguards, the cavalry set off first, it is estimated that it is from Meng County, only the devils from Meng County can arrive so quickly, and looking at this number, it is also the same as the amount of information given by Brother Chen."
"The little devil in Meng County has a cavalry squad."
Li Yunlong quickly deduced the origin of this group of devils.
Among the county towns where the devils are stationed, the closest to Fujiayuan is Meng County, which is not difficult to speculate.
"Then kill him."
Zhao Gang pulled the bolt, and his eyes were full of murder.
Along the way, he has been panicking, and he is afraid that something will go wrong, and now he wants to kill a few devils and vent.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Li Yunlong smiled and broke the hammer of the shell gun in his hand: "Then kill this gang of little devils." ”
"Company commander, you take a platoon to bypass from the back and block the retreat of this gang of devils, and the other two platoons attack head-on, remember to move quickly, otherwise with the marksmanship we gave the political commissar, you are afraid that you will not even be able to drink the soup."
More than 30 devil cavalrymen, facing a company of 20 shell guns and nearly 10 machine guns, did not even have a chance to resist in the mountainous areas where the cavalry was inaccessible.
"Okay."
The first company commander is an old man of the independent regiment, and after seeing Zhao Gang's terrifying three guns, he naturally knows his political commissar's marksmanship very well, so he jokingly said: "Political commissar, leave us a few, don't swallow it alone." ”
"Inform the second battalion commander behind of the situation here, and let the troops move on."
Li Yunlong said to a communications soldier in the guard platoon.
He had to inform the troops behind him so as not to cause misunderstandings, and this little devil would not take much time, and by the time the troops behind arrived, their battle would have already ended.
After the communication fighters left, Li Yunlong quietly touched it with a company.
······
Taiyuan, airfield of the First Army Flight Brigade.
It was close to seven o'clock.
Yoshio Shinozuka, who had barely slept all night, looked at the two reconnaissance planes that were starting their engines, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Originally, the reconnaissance plane was supposed to depart more than half an hour ago, and by this time the reconnaissance had already begun.
However, one of the planes suddenly exploded its engine, the broken propeller fell off, and after bouncing on the ground, it jumped more than 100 meters and hit another reconnaissance plane behind.
An emergency investigation later revealed that the cause of the accident was that the engine of the previous aircraft itself was damaged, which was repaired after the last shelling of the airfield, and after such a long period of use, the metal fatigued and burst the cylinder.
Fortunately, at that time the plane had not yet taken off, it was just taxiing, the speed of the plane was very slow, the pilot was not injured, the plane could be repaired, of course, it would take several days to overhaul and change the engine.
However, the latter clip of the plane is very simple, only need to change a little skin, half an hour smaller.
It took half an hour to repair the plane, and then a spare plane was towed out of the hangar, so that the two reconnaissance planes were more than half an hour behind schedule.
However, after the two reconnaissance planes took off, before they left Shinozuka Yoshio's sight, a staff officer ran over in a hurry, and this staff officer was the second experienced staff officer at night.
Gritting his teeth, the staff officer's tone was flustered:
"General, the cavalry squad of the Mengxian Brigade sent a telegram that they encountered a large number of attacks by the Eighth Route Army, and the telegram also mentioned that they saw the enemy using a large number of mules and horses to transport machinery and equipment on the military column to Fujiayuan."
Because before Li Yunlong attacked, he let the follow-up troops set off, so when the cavalry team of Mengxian County finally sent a farewell telegram, they saw the mighty independent regiment and the new regiment of the army.
Machines and equipment transported on large mules were also seen.
"Nani?"
"Impossible."
The reconnaissance plane in the field of vision had not disappeared yet, and Yoshio Shinozuka turned his head sharply and directly snatched the telegram from the staff officer's hand.
Subconsciously, he didn't believe what the staff officer said.
The mountain road taken by the Eighth Route Army was extremely rugged, and even if the high-quality pack horses from Europe and the United States could not carry those machines and equipment so fast, it was absolutely impossible.
Even if it is taken apart, some parts weigh more than 100 kilograms.
It's okay to go short distances, but it's impossible to travel dozens of miles, it's impossible, it's impossible,
However, the contents of the telegram made him have to believe that the enemy arrived at Fujia in less than three hours with the looted machinery and medicines.
The speed of the march is comparable to that of a lightly armed unit without loads.
"Yaga."
The irritable and angry Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly had his eyes bulging out, and he suddenly erupted, and a slap in his hand slapped this staff officer in the face: "How can they be so fast? How could it be so fast? ”
Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't accept it at all.
He had speculated about the worst before.
The Eighth Route Army gave up and burned the supplies, and then advanced lightly to avoid his encirclement, which he could accept, at least the enemy also returned empty-handed, plus the consumption of weapons and ammunition along the way, it was not a loss.
But now, such a situation is completely unacceptable to him.
The Imperial Army lost blood, and the Eighth Route Army made blood.
Although the two machine parts weighing nearly a ton certainly can't be transported by mountain roads, the remaining lighter machines and equipment for the production of weapons and equipment can greatly increase their strength.
There are also those medicines, which are also extremely precious to the Eighth Route Army, comparable to sending charcoal in the snow.
As soon as he thought of this, Yoshio Shinozuka was depressed and angry, and he couldn't breathe well.
After slapping the staff officer, Yoshio Shinozuka took a few deep breaths: "Let the reconnaissance plane come back, in addition, order Yangquan, Xiyang and other distant troops to be stationed, there is no need to continue to go to Fujiayuan." ”
Although I don't know how the other party can maintain such a fast speed and still transport machinery and equipment, Shinozuka knows that there is no need to intercept it, I am afraid that if an encirclement is formed, everyone will already be home.
"Hey."
Enduring the sharp pain on his face, the staff officer responded.
······
Headquarters, General Staff.
"What?"
"The devil is back?"
Staff Officer Mo, who was anxious for the sudden assembly of the devils, had grabbed a lot of hair and lost a lot of it, and his tone was full of disbelief.
"Yes."
Those who came to report were also confused: "The devils in Yangquan, Xiyang and other places have all returned to their respective stations, only the devils in Meng County have not returned, but have arrived at a place called Fujiayuan." ”
Although the headquarters has great intelligence, it is still impossible to know that the skirmish that took place in Fujiayuan is still not known.
"What are you doing, little devil? It's like this, and it's a big night, and it doesn't let people sleep, right? ”
Hearing that the devil had withdrawn, Staff Officer Mo let go of his heart and immediately cursed.
He suspected that the devils were dispatched in order to make their staff stay up all night and let the queen die of overwork.
As for the brigade in Meng County, it is just a brigade, if you dare to come in, you will learn from the old devil of Yamazaki and eat it directly.
"Keep investigating, it's better to figure out what the hell the devil is for?" After a few words of scolding, Staff Officer Mo said.
