Chapter 23 Task Assignment
Inside the regiment headquarters compound.
All the battalion commanders and company commanders sat obediently in the courtyard with bruised faces and noses, listening to Li Yunlong's analysis.
In order to completely defeat these guys and make them dare not compete with us for the main attack mission.
Qin Yangming and his seven company commanders forcibly picked out the other battalion and company commanders of the entire regiment.
As soon as the fight started, Qin Yangming knocked Zhang Dabiao down.
Then the others will be in trouble.
Zhang Dabiao, the most powerful among them, was knocked down in one encounter, let alone them.
"Damn it, Qin Yangming has no moral principles and only hits people in the face."
The commander of the third battalion, who was planning to launch a surprise attack on Qin Yangming from three directions, touched his swollen face and gasped in pain.
Qin Yangming was like a monster and he was not hurt at all.
Instead, these guys were beaten with bruises all over their bodies.
They all suspected that if Qin Yangming had not held back,
They just need a piece here and a piece there.
After Li Yunlong finished introducing the situation, he began to issue combat tasks.
"This time our force has reached 8,000 men.
My God, this is a whole brigade of troops.
There were probably about 2,500 Japanese soldiers and puppet troops in the county town.
This time, the First Battalion cooperated with the Vanguard Battalion in the main attack.
The Second Battalion is responsible for removing all the Japanese artillery towers and strongholds in other parts of Linyuan County."
"Three battalions, four battalions,
There are five battalions plus the county brigade and district squad.
Be responsible for stopping those Japanese troops who want to reinforce Linyuan County!"
"Before the battle in the county town was over,
You must stop the Japanese reinforcements!"
There are three main roads leading to the outside world from Linyuan County. If the Japanese want to send a large force to reinforce Linyuan County, they can only take the main roads.
As soon as the combat missions were assigned, everyone began to take action.
Naturally, the Japanese also received the information about the big movement of the New 1st Regiment.
At this moment, Major Kameda Kkuma of Linyuan County was also analyzing the purpose of the New 1st Regiment with his captain and a colonel commander of the puppet army.
"Kameta-sama, why are you so sure that these Tubalu troops are going to attack the county town?"
The pseudo-army commander looked at Kameda Kkuma with a flattering expression.
"Wu Sang, this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers has reached 8,000 people.
In addition to attacking the county town,
Is there any place worth attacking?"
"But these Eighth Route Army soldiers don't have any heavy firepower.
The only thing they had were a few Type 92 infantry guns.
After so much use,
I'm afraid we don't have many shells left."
Captain Wu was somewhat puzzled.
When did the Eighth Route Army become so bold?
They actually dared to attack the county town directly.
Are these still the same Tubalu he remembers?
Kameda Kicuma shook his head.
"I don't know where these local guerrillas got the courage from.
How dare you attack the county town?"
"Major,
It may be that our indulgence of the Eighth Route Army during this period has given them undue confidence. "
"According to your instructions,
If the Eighth Route Army attacked the artillery tower,
The soldiers in the turret can retreat immediately.
Now, apart from the forts and strongholds on the main transportation routes,
We have already abandoned the other turrets.”
"Is it because of this reason?
Let the Eighth Route Army think that the combat effectiveness of our Japanese locust army is very poor,
So they want to attack the county town?"
"As far as I know, although the Eighth Route Army has 8,000 men,
However, judging from the equipment level of the Eighth Route Army,
They probably had only two or three thousand rifles;
There are even many people who don’t even have military uniforms.”
The lieutenant at the side gave Kameda Kicuma a well-reasoned analysis.
It sounds very much like that.
"Well, if these local guerrillas dare to attack the county town,
Just leave them all here!"
Kameda Kkuma nodded and gave orders with a haughty look on his face.
Captain Wu, who was standing by, really wanted to tell Kameda Kkuma that most of the Eighth Route Army actually had guns, but after thinking about it, he did not say anything.
If he gave the Japanese a lot of intelligence that led to the failure of the Eighth Route Army,
That would be very hard for him.
The Eighth Route Army's anti-traitor team is no joke.
He doesn't want to hide in the army every day.
Even hiding in the army is not necessarily safe.
Didn’t you see that someone was able to sneak into the Japanese headquarters even though it was so heavily guarded?
A large number of officers had their necks cut.
His former boss has lost his head.
I heard that it took five hundred guns from that Japanese fellow villager to get his head back.
And I didn't do anything bad.
If the Eighth Route Army wins,
There is still a possibility that he will surrender.
He doesn't want to go down this path to the end.
He was educated, and he knew that few traitors in history had a good ending.
Because surrender has been taken into consideration.
Captain Wu was also thinking about how the Eighth Route Army would treat him if he surrendered.
Even when the Japanese were calling him, he didn't react.
"idiot!"
Kameda Kiko saw that Captain Wu was distracted and slapped him without hesitation.
Captain Wu, who was caught off guard, was knocked to the ground by a slap.
Captain Wu quickly stood up and groveled to apologize. "Damn it, Kameda Kikoma, you bastard, dare you hit me?"
"That bastard Nakamura Shaoxiong doesn't even dare to hit me!"
After Kameda Kkuma asked Captain Wu to take his troops to organize the outer defense line, he continued to discuss with the captain.
"Sir, this Captain Wu seems to be a little disobedient.
I heard that Major Nakamura Shaoxiong had sent him a deputy commander.
As a result, the next day the deputy head of the group died from excessive drinking.”
"Humph, this is a dog that can't be tamed.
A group of Locust Army officers were transferred from Manchuria.
I'll replace this guy after this battle.
Just send him to dig coal!"
Kameda Kicuma thought of the group of puppet army officers that were sent over yesterday.
Talked about how to deal with Captain Wu.
When Captain Wu returned to his unit, he was shocked to think that he had been slapped by the Japanese.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
You know, even the old devil Nakamura Shaoxiong has to be polite to him.
Not to mention beating him, you have to send him money every now and then to keep him stable.
And this Kameda Kicuma not only didn't give him money, he also took money from him!
For him, money is his lifeblood.
He surrendered to the Japanese because he was forced to do so by his superiors.
The other thing is that I want to protect my own money.
"Call all the company commanders over here!"
Although he was very angry, he still had to carry out the Japanese's orders.
Otherwise, the Japanese might attack him directly.
He heard that the Japanese sent a group of officers over in military vehicles yesterday.
They say it is used to replenish strength.
But based on the attitude of the Japanese towards me today,
He analyzed that those guys were most likely here to replace him!
Once he has no troops left,
How did the devil want to beat him?
How can you beat him?
"No, I have to find a way to kill these guys."
After all his trusted company commanders came over,
Captain Wu also told them about the situation.
Because these people are either his fellow townsmen or his clansmen,
So Captain Wu doesn't have to worry about these people betraying him.
A company commander looked at Captain Wu and spoke.
"Brother Wu, we may not be able to stop the Japanese this time."
"Can't stop it? What do you mean?"
"No, Lao Liu, why are you scared before the fight even starts?"
"Sixth Brother, do you know something?"
"Brother Wu, many of my brothers' relatives and friends are in the Eighth Route Army."
"Their relatives and friends have already told us that the Eighth Route Army that will attack the county this time is the vanguard battalion of the New 1st Regiment."
"The strength of the Vanguard Battalion is simply not something that people like us can stop."
"Moreover, many people in the Eighth Route Army are relatives and friends of the brothers.
It would be good if they didn't bring guns and just used artillery to attack.
They can't be counted on to fight against the Eighth Route Army."
Everyone fell silent after listening to the company commander's analysis.
Because those foreign soldiers and officers who were at odds with them were squeezed into the artillery tower outside the county town.
And those turrets have now been taken down.
All those who resisted to the end were killed.
Now most of the soldiers under their command are locals.
Even many grassroots officers such as platoon leaders and squad leaders are locals.
Maybe after the two armies start fighting, he will find out that his nephew, niece, or even brother or younger brother is among the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.
Let them shoot at their own blood,
If they don't turn their guns against me, it means I've treated them well.
And because the Eighth Route Army occupied most of Linyuan County,
Many people no longer want to be traitors.
I want to join the Eighth Route Army.
Many of their subordinates actually have connections with the Eighth Route Army.
They all knew about this,
Just to make them pay attention.
Don't let the Japs know.
"How about we surrender?"
Someone spoke and the room fell silent again.
Then everyone began to whisper.
Discussing the pros and cons of surrender.
As the saying goes, once the thought of surrender comes to mind, the world will suddenly seem wide open.
After some discussion, everyone realized that there was no harm in surrendering.
On the contrary, there are a lot of benefits!
Especially after Captain Wu realized that he could not save his money and might not be able to save his life either, he instantly became determined to surrender.
At least surrendering to the Eighth Route Army could save your life.
He hasn't done anything evil.
The most common thing is not paying when eating out.
