Yang Spring.

It's just dawn.

In the barren mountains outside the city, Wang Gensheng led a squad of special teams to hide in a barren haystack, looking at Yangquan in the distance.

From here, about three miles away is the ancient city wall of Yangquan City, under the rammed earth city wall several meters high, many ordinary people gather outside the city gate, with large bags and small bags of wheelbarrows, ready to enter the city to start the day's work.

However, the devils and puppet soldiers guarding the city gate blocked the way of the common people, and were carefully interrogating and searching the people who entered the city, and from time to time the common people were driven away and not allowed to enter the city.

"What the fuck is going on?"

In the haystack, a special squad soldier put down his binoculars and cursed in his mouth: "Why is the little devil suddenly vigilant?" I've been waiting for a few days, and I haven't seen a little devil come out. ”

"This little devil in Yangquan will be the same as the devil in Shou County, when will he be a turtle with a shrunken head."

Everyone remembers.

Not long ago, when they went to Shijiazhuang, Yangquan still looked lax, the city gate was wide open, and they could enter and exit at will.

Now only a few days have passed, the little devil suddenly woke up, everyone who entered the city had to be carefully checked, so careful that they did not let go at all, and some ordinary people were directly driven out of the city gate and not allowed to enter, this degree of vigilance and caution is comparable to the gang of devils in Shou County.

"I guess..."

Wang Gensheng narrowed his eyes and speculated: "The vote we did in Shijiazhuang scared the little devils, and the little devils in Yangquan were afraid that we would infiltrate them and strengthen their vigilance." ”

"But that's a bit of a fuss, isn't it?"

Yangquan is not far from Shijiazhuang, and for the little devil with a car, it is only a day's journey. Moreover, the devil has a telephone and radio station, and the news is transmitted quickly, and after knowing that it was the troops of the Independent Regiment who attacked the Shijiazhuang military station, it was normal for Yangquan to be vigilant.

After all, if the independent regiment wants to go to Shijiazhuang, Yangquan is the only way to go.

Yangquan's little devil would be vigilant, as Wang Gensheng expected, but this level of vigilance was somewhat beyond his expectations. Guarding against them a special squad, need such a big pomp?

In the past few days, he has been looking around, not only at the city gate, but also at the surrounding artillery towers and military stations, all of which look like they are facing a great enemy, and they are on high alert 24 hours a day, as if a large army is about to attack.

He sent people to climb into the city at night to investigate, and the search for devils in the city was stricter, and even forbade anyone to go out at night.

"Hey..."

In the team, a member of the team sighed, he touched the 60 mortar in his arms, and then looked at the ammunition hand on the side with a full shell, and his tone was full of regret:

"Then let's just go back empty-handed?"

Unwilling!

It's been almost five days since they came out this time, and they haven't even killed a little devil, and the new guy in their hands hasn't seen the blood of the little devil yet!

This team member was full of unwillingness.

He was a mortar gunner in a special squad.

The lightweight 60 mortar is suitable for the special squad to carry, so Zhang Dabiao sent a member of the team to the artillery company for several months of training, and after several actual battles, he returned to the special squad not long ago.

Everyone was a little lacking in interest.

After coming out for five days, I didn't even touch a devil's hair, which made people very discouraged and very unwilling.

The scene froze for a while, and suddenly, a soldier wearing a 'straw hat' shouted out, his tone was excited, and as he spoke, he raised his glasses to watch carefully: "Come out, the devil is out." ”

"A second lieutenant, a warrant officer, two military officers, and nine devil soldiers, and riding motorcycles."

He quickly reported the number of devil soldiers.

"Finally out?"

“····”

Everyone was in high spirits, and there was a shaking in the dry haystack, and nearly ten 'straw hats' rushed out together, and everyone saw it at the city gate.

I saw a dozen or so devil soldiers, riding three motorcycles, along the dirt road, driving into the distance, on the side bucket of the motorcycle, there are also machine guns, eight times the telescope, everyone can clearly see the side fight, the devil's vigilant eyes.

"Kill them?"

The gunner licked his lips and at the same time raised the 60 mortar in his hand.

"Don't do it yet, wait a minute."

Wang Gensheng squinted his eyes, stared at the devil motorcycle out of the city for a while, and then turned to the gate of Yangquan City.

Everyone did not speak, but lowered their heads in unison, and fell silent again in the haystack.

About ten minutes later, there was movement at the Yangquan City Gate again, this time, two trucks came out first, and then a large number of devils came out, a lot of them, along the road, towards the distance.

During this period, the devil team stopped from time to time and sent people to climb the mountain as if to search.

"One lieutenant, two ensigns, followed by sixty little devils, this is a squad..."

The observer reported the situation as soon as possible.

Before he finished speaking, his observer hand suddenly raised his voice: "No, no, this is not a squad, there is also a young officer in the second truck, and he almost missed it." ”

"Captain?"

Hearing Officer Shaozuo, everyone looked at Wang Gensheng in unison, their eyes burning.

The purpose of their trip was to use decapitation tactics, but this Yangquan devil commander Kosa Shinji didn't know what was wrong recently, never went out, and stayed in the headquarters all the time, and the Yangquan devil suddenly raised his vigilance, and even at night there were a large number of patrols, and there was no way to carry weapons to sneak in and do it.

Seeing that this mission has yielded no results, instead of continuing to waste time here, it is better to kill this devil Shaozo and then retreat.

When you go out, you can't go home empty-handed!

Seeing that Wang Gensheng was still holding the telescope and did not speak, everyone thought that he was worried about the battle losses, and one of the team members continued:

"Look at the direction of this little devil's car, it's heading towards the small mill village turret, let's super small road, ambush on the road in front of us in advance, prepare a mine to blow up this devil Shaozuo, and then beat it up and run, there is a mountain road over there, drill inside, the little devil will definitely not be able to catch up with us."

"Yes, captain, let's take this devil Shaozuo to open the meat."

"According to the orders of the regiment, it's almost time for us to go back, or just these devils! In case this gang of devils goes back again, we're afraid we'll go home empty-handed. ”

“·····”

While he was persuading Wang Gen to do so, a small group of devils came out of the city and drove along the road, stopping from time to time to climb the surrounding hillside ravines and search.

"Let's wait another day."

Listening to the sound of the players in his ears, Wang Gensheng took a deep breath and decided to continue to wait.

The situation in front of him, the motorcycle vigilance, the devils of the brigade followed the vigilance, spread the vigilance, like the vigilant devil soldiers of the observation group at that time, combined with the abnormal vigilance of the recent Yangquan devils, he had a vague guess in his heart-

Most likely, a big fish will come to Yangquan.

"Yes."

The team members were a little regretful, but they all obeyed the order and no longer objected.

"Takako..."

Seeing that the devil's convoy had left sight, Wang Gensheng took out the map, looked at it, and said to a team member: "Tie up all the big decoons tonight and make a few big mines." ”

"And then, bury it here..."

Wang Gensheng pointed to a point on the map in his hand.

There is only one road leading to Yangquan City, and no matter whether there are devils and big fish coming over and burying mines here, you can have a harvest. And burying it at night can avoid the search of devils.

"All?"

The warrior named Takako raised his eyebrows, his tone confused.

Because there were enough big mules and camels, this time, they carried a lot of large tumors, and buried them at one time, the scene was very violent.

"Yes, all."

Wang Gensheng accentuated his tone.

If there is really a big fish coming, then there must be a lot of escort troops accompanying them, at least the size of a small team, and the road around Yangquan is flat, and the dozen or so of them are afraid that they will be entangled by little devils if they suddenly ambush on the side of the road.

"Go and inform Cao Mantang to come back."

Finally, Wang Gensheng called another warrior and said.

In this operation, Wang Xikui did not follow, only Cao Mantang followed.

······

Yang Spring.

Inside the headquarters of the Japanese army.

Shinji Kosa said in a solemn tone to his three captains:

"Tomorrow, there will be three high-ranking officers sent from the base camp, as well as a Zhongzuo officer from the Fifth Division to come to Yangquan, we must do a good job of security and not make any mistakes."

"Hey."

The three captains bowed their heads in unison.

"You supervise it yourself."

Shinji Kosa patted the table, raised his tone and continued:

"According to the post-war on-site investigation report issued by Taiyuan, it was because the vigilant troops were not careful when they searched and did not find the Eighth Route Army lurking on the hillside, which led to the shattering of more than 100 imperial officers in the observation regiment."

"We must not make such mistakes."

"This time, if anyone has a problem, let's pay homage to the emperor!"

Speaking of the observation group, Shinji Kosa was full of joy in his tone.

Thankfully, he didn't go at that time. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would also be killed by Li Yunlong.

"Hey."

The three captains continued to bow their heads and legs.

"Also, the vigilance near the hotel prepared for them must also be strengthened, the guards must keep patrolling day and night, and prohibit any suspicious people from approaching, the Shijiazhuang military station incident must not be repeated in Yangquan."

Shinji Kosa continued to remind solemnly.

Although among the four main officers who came over this time, the highest one from the base camp was Dazuo, among which there were two Zhongzuo and one Shaozuo, and the Fifth Division also had one Zhongzuo, one of whom was of the same level as him in rank, and three of whom were lower than him.

But these two groups of people, three are senior intelligence officers sent from the base camp, and one is the elite captain of the Fifth Division, whose influence is much greater than that of him, the small wing captain of the second-line division who can barely keep his position.

If this group of people had an accident on his turf, then he would either apologize or go to the front to die.

It's dead anyway.

Even if this group encounters an attack, even if there is no problem, he is still the captain of the wing.

Before, because Shijiazhuang was attacked by Li Yunlong's troops, he had been scolded by his superiors, and if General Shinozuka hadn't stopped him, his position as the captain of the 33rd Wing would have been gone.

If something goes wrong again, no one will be able to bail him out.

"Hey."

The three captains bowed their heads in unison, and their movements were uniform.

With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the three captains to leave, looking at the map on the table and the information sorted out by the staff officers, Director Kosama breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

A truly good Imperial officer should be able to learn from previous mistakes and correct them.

During the incident of the observation group, Li Yunlong led his troops to lurk on the side of the road, and because of carelessness on the part of the alerting troops, they did not search for the enemy, resulting in an attack on the observation group, and all members of the group were shattered. Therefore, he ordered the troops to conduct carpet searches, and within one kilometer of the highway, any place where the guerrillas might be ambushed, must be searched in multiple batches, and not a single cave or ditch should be spared.

To ensure that nothing went wrong, he also sent troops to inspect in batches and required that every site searched must be marked.

In the Shijiazhuang Pilot Station incident, a small group of enemy troops attacked at night, so he set up the newly arrived officers' residence in the headquarters, and maintained a high degree of alert and patrol day and night, and also stationed a brigade around the headquarters, if he wanted to get close, he could only attack.

In this way, the safety of the new officers is absolutely foolproof.

······

"Captain."

Cao Mantang, dressed in a gray military uniform and covered with dead branches and leaves, quietly came to Wang Gensheng's side.

"Okay."

Wang Gensheng nodded at Cao Mantang: "Take a rest first, I will have a task to you later." ”

"Yes."

Cao Mantang cherished words like gold, and after speaking, he held his sniper rifle and went directly to the back to rest.

"This little devil checked it very carefully, and even opened the haystack to take a look, and dug a few times with a hoe."

In the haystack, the observer holding the telescope spoke in amazement.

"Hey, this third batch of devils actually repeated the inspection, the little devil is serious."

Everyone looked at this scene, looked at those extremely cautious little devils, and also experienced the strangeness.

The little devil's formation, even outside the city wall, has been turned over repeatedly, and it is obvious that there is a problem.

"Let's withdraw."

Seeing that the devils were about to search for them, Wang Gensheng ordered to retreat: "Pay attention to cleaning up the traces. ”

With Wang Gensheng's order, the special team quietly left the haystack, bent over, and rushed to the mountains behind, and when they left, they even cleaned up all the traces, and even the grass was restored to its original state.

"Yaga, what's the point of this?"

"Do the guerrillas dare to ambush at the city gates?"

Half an hour after they left, a group of devils came here, and these devils lifted the haystacks and checked the ditches, but the enemy did not find them, but was splashed with dust and mud, and in the May heat, they were itching all over, so they cursed and vented their dissatisfaction.

"Be quiet, the gendarmes are staring!"

A devil reminded.

After the inspection, the team of devils continued to search along the road.
