Chapter 255 Contact Qingquan Muyi
After listening to what Qin Yangming said, Li Yunlong and others also understood what was going on with Qingquan Muyi and Murakuchi Saburo.
"But since we need to reconnect with each other, how do we reconnect with these two little devils?"
Kong Jie asked the crucial question.
Qin Yangming had already made preparations on how to contact Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Muichi.
"According to the intelligence from the brigade, Kiyozumi Muichi and Murakuchi Saburo will rush from Taiyuan to Ping'an County in the next few days, and will pass by Xiaocaozhuang and Zhangzhuang strongholds.
The distance between Xiaocaozhuang stronghold and Zhangzhuang stronghold is forty miles.
This section of land is all wilderness, with no villages, only yellow sand and no water source, so there are not many people living nearby and the environment is extremely harsh. Therefore, the Japanese did not set up any artillery towers or anything like that within this distance.
So I plan to take the special forces and the commando team from the independent regiment together, carry supplies into this area in advance, and then directly stop Murakuchi Saburo, Kiyozumi Kiichi and others.
They were just taking over the job in Ping'an County, not changing guard, so the best they could do was have a squadron of soldiers escorting them.
And according to the situation of the two guys, Kiyozumi Muichi and Murakuchi Saburo, when they brought their troops to change guard, they were definitely bringing their own trusted troops, that is, the troops they absolutely controlled.
Otherwise, if they don’t have enough trustworthy troops after arriving in Ping’an County, it will be difficult to do things later.”
“If Kiyomizu Muichi and Murakuchi Saburo still want to trade with us, they will know what to do.
If these two guys don't plan to continue the deal, then there's nothing to say. We are all enemies, and we all know what to do."
"Xiao Qin, I heard what you said. If Qingquan Muyi and Murakuchi Saburo still wanted to continue the transaction, why did they cut off contact with us?"
Ding Wei looked at Qin Yangming and asked about the doubts in his mind.
Qin Yangming had naturally thought about this issue a long time ago.
"The brigade commander said that the Japanese commander in Ping'an County was removed from his post and replaced because of corruption.
I guess that someone among Qingquan Muyi and others must have disclosed something when conducting transactions with us, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, or the Central Army, and was discovered by the Japanese.
After all, people like Kiyozumi Kiichi here are just a small part of the officers from the Osaka Division, or they are just officers recruited from Osaka.
Not the entire Osaka Division.
There was no way to resist the inspection from above. So after being caught, they could not directly gather troops to fight against the higher-ups, and could only surrender honestly.
I guess it was Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyomizu Muichi who cut off all contact in order to destroy the evidence of their connection with the Eighth Route Army, and the people above them were sacrificing their pawns to save their king. "
“So this is also the reason why Murakuchi Saburo couldn’t get in touch with us.
After all, the radio that Murakuchi Saburo gave us was just a small radio, and whenever there was a deal, Murakuchi Saburo would take the initiative to contact us using a high-power radio in a special way."
"Of course, this is all speculation."
"We won't know the details until we meet Murakuchi Saburo."
"Xiao Qin, according to what you said, it is very likely that Murakuchi Saburo and Qingquan Muyi are leading a whole squadron of Japanese soldiers, but it is a bit too risky to bring the special forces and commandos.
How about this, the cavalry companies of our three regiments have been replenished, and I, Ding Wei, and the cavalry companies of your vanguard regiment will be mixed into a cavalry battalion and follow together.
If Murakuchi Saburo and others simply don't want to continue the transaction, then there is no need to be polite. Just order the cavalry battalion to charge and eliminate them.
If you are unwilling to be friendly with the Eighth Route Army, then you are our enemy. There is no need to be polite to the enemy.
If we are lucky, we may be able to take advantage of the fact that there are problems with Ping'an County's command system and there is no supreme commander to launch an attack on Ping'an County."
Those present were not simple people, and they all knew how to maximize the interests of the Eighth Route Army.
So the decision was made quickly. If Murakuchi Saburo and others no longer wanted to cooperate, then there would be no need to be polite and they would just take action to defeat Murakuchi Saburo and others.
Although Murakuchi Saburo sold a lot of supplies to the Eighth Route Army, that was selling, not giving!
Although many of the supplies that Murakuchi Saburo sold to the Eighth Route Army were things that the Eighth Route Army could not buy even if they had money.
But this guy, Murakuchi Saburo, took advantage of this situation and offered the material, which was originally worth one gold bar, at the price of two gold bars, or even three or four, doubling the price.
Although the Eighth Route Army could not buy those things even if they had money, it was simply because they did not have enough money.
Murakuchi Saburo was a good businessman. He knew the prices of various supplies clearly. Every time he sold supplies to the Eighth Route Army, the prices were so high that the Eighth Route Army could purchase them from other channels with just a little more money.
Therefore, people do not have the burden of being discarded after their work has been done.
So I made the decision very lightly.
As for Li Yunlong's suggestion to take three cavalry companies with him, Qin Yangming thought about it and did not refuse.
If we take the three cavalry companies with us, we will have more soldiers, which will also be beneficial.
Anyway, if Li Yunlong plans to take the opportunity to start a war, the cavalry will not be of much use in such an offensive battle.
“Since we cannot be sure, I suggest we make preparations for both scenarios.
If Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi are willing to cooperate with us, then we will prepare a special battle plan.
What if Kiyozumi Muichi and Murakuchi Saburo are unwilling to cooperate with us?
Then we also need to prepare for their unwillingness to cooperate with our battle plan."
Kong Jie was still as steady as ever. Seeing that Qin Yangming could not guarantee that Murakuchi Saburo and Qingquan Muyi would definitely cooperate, he immediately proposed to prepare two sets of attack plans.
Listening to Kong Jie's words, Li Yunlong nodded.
If Qingquan Muyi and Murakuchi Saburo were willing to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to attack Ping'an County, it would be much easier to capture Ping'an County at that time.
After all, the highest commander of Ping'an County cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to attack the county seat, so how could those Japanese devils in Ping'an County defend themselves?
Apart from anything else, as long as Qingquan Muyi and Murakuchi Saburo hand over the city defense map of Ping'an County to the Eighth Route Army, then with the city defense map, Qin Yangming and others will not need to sneak into the county town first.
If Kiyozumi Muichi and Murakuchi Saburo were willing to provide greater cooperation, they could directly help mobilize the troops out of the Zhangzhuang stronghold.
By then, it would be effortless for them to take over Ping'an County.
Of course, this is just what a few people think.
Even if Kiyozumi Kiichi and Murakuchi Saburo really dared to cooperate with their four regiments so vigorously, their four regiments would not be able to pay the corresponding price to Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi even if they emptied their pockets.
With such a huge price, these two guys, Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi, would definitely demand payment in gold.
The four groups don't have any gold on them now, so how can they pay?
Li Yunlong said: "If Qingquan Muyi and Murakuchi Saburo are willing to cooperate with us, then we will organize the attack plan according to their degree of cooperation.
We can talk about this later. If the two of them don't cooperate, we can just use Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyomizu Muichi as bait to launch an attack on Ping'an County." "I have a plan here.
After Xiao Qin leads his men to set off, Ding Wei, you will immediately lead the New 1st Regiment to the vicinity of the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold.
What if Kiyozumi Muichi and Murakuchi Saburo don't cooperate by then?
When Xiao Qin led his men to fight against the Japanese devils including Qingquan Muyi and Murakuchi Saburo.
If these two guys can't hold on any longer, they will definitely ask for help from the nearby Xiaocaozhuang and Zhangzhuang strongholds.
Ding Wei, if you are lucky, you might be able to surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements, and first eliminate some of the reinforcements sent by Xiaocaozhuang.
By then, it will be much easier for you to attack the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold.
I will also send a troop to set up an ambush outside the Zhangzhuang stronghold. If the Zhangzhuang stronghold sends reinforcements, I will also defeat them.
By the time the time comes, Xiao Qin's special forces, the independent regiment commandos, and the cavalry companies of our three regiments will be able to finish the battle within an hour.
At that time, these three cavalry companies will be handed over to Ding Wei for command. There are more open areas on Ding Wei's side, and it will be more convenient to have cavalry.
Ding Wei, didn't you say last time that I commanded a cavalry battalion? This time I'll let you command a cavalry battalion, too, so you can have a taste of what it feels like to command a cavalry battalion.
Besides, Xiao Qin, won't your special forces be able to speak Japanese by then? You can completely disguise yourself as defeated Japanese soldiers and sneak into Ping'an County.
At that time, we can still carry out the rest according to the original plan.
As for the bridgehead stronghold, with so many artillery pieces, I can blow these artillery towers into ruins in less than half an hour."
Li Yunlong is Li Yunlong. He thinks quickly and quickly came up with a set of combat methods.
Listening to the solution proposed by Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Qin Yangming nodded one after another.
It means that the combat plan proposed by Li Yunlong is highly feasible.
"Lao Li's method is fine. I agree with it."
"I agree."
"I have no objection. I never thought that I, Ding Wei, would have a cavalry battalion one day."
"Hahaha, that's nothing. If there's a chance, when I become the commander of the column, I'll give each of you a cavalry battalion."
"Look, Lao Kong, Xiao Qin, look at the two of you. Before we even start thinking about it, this kid Li Yunlong is already dreaming."
"Each of us has a cavalry battalion. Do you think you are a brigade commander?"
"Believe it or not."
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. The intelligence from the brigade commander says that Kiyomizu Muichi and Murakuchi Saburo are heading to Ping'an County in the next few days.
Without a specific time, Xiao Qin can only work harder and take people to ambush in advance.
Is there anything else you two are talking about?
If there are any material resources needed, we should gather together and make do with them.
If there is nothing else, Lao Ding, please withdraw your cavalry company and give it to Xiao Qin, and let Xiao Qin take the men and set off first.
Lao Kong, take the New Second Regiment and the Vanguard Regiment and start crossing the river at night.
It’s time for me to prepare the independent regiment for battle.”
"There's nothing wrong with me. My New 1st Regiment has no shortage of supplies. We have everything we need. Lao Kong, how are you doing? Do you want me to give you some supplies?"
"I don't need it here. Xiao Qin's Vanguard Regiment's supplies have already been transported to the New Second Regiment. The Vanguard Regiment's supplies are enough for our two regiments.
It's still Xiao Qin. The field rations of our New Second Regiment, New First Regiment and Independent Regiment were still the fried noodles you made. As a result, the rations of the Pioneer Regiment have all become dried meat, all beef jerky. A piece of beef jerky is much more comfortable than fried noodles.
Moreover, the number of mules and horses equipped by the vanguard regiment is almost the sum of the number of our three regiments. With so many mules and horses, the troops can march much faster and carry much more supplies, and it is much easier.
It’s comfortable to fight with the Vanguard Group.”
Thinking of the equipment of the Vanguard Group, Kong Jie's face was filled with envy.
He is the most honest among the four, and the more honest a child is, the more disadvantages he suffers.
So Kong Jie is the one who suffers the most.
Therefore, the equipment of the new Second Regiment has not yet reached the average level of the four regiments.
Not to mention surpassing the Vanguard Group.
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Now that everything is alright, let's go back to our homes and start mobilizing and preparing for battle."
"No problem. I'll ask the political commissar to send the cavalry company to the vanguard regiment."
"Well, I'll also ask Lao Zhao to send the cavalry company to the vanguard regiment."
"Xiao Qin, the matter of Sanlang at the entrance of the village is now handed over to you.
If there is any unexpected situation, please contact the radio station. "
“No problem, leave it to me, I will report to you immediately if there is any situation.
However, in order to prevent the Japanese from discovering the telegraph signal between Xiaocaozhuang and Zhangzhuang, our radio station has been in silent mode for the past few days. Do not send out messages unless necessary. "
"No problem, don't send the message yet, tell the brigade about this later.
Send someone to tell him, it's safer.
Xiao Qin, I will leave the monks to you. I don't ask you to train the monks to be as good as your special forces, but you have to make them at least half as strong as your special forces."
"Don't hide it. Tell the monk about your things."
"No problem. I promise I won't hide anything. I will try my best to teach the monk everything I know."
"Hey, Xiao Qin, I'll send two people to learn from you, and see if I can also create a special forces team like you."
"Xiao Qin, I'll also send two people to learn the game from you and see if it works.
If possible, I will also set up such a unit in the New Second Regiment."
