Chapter 162
Mountain City.
Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau.
Knock, knock, knock!
Accompanied by a series of rapid knocks on the door.
"Come in!"
Soon a middle-aged man's somewhat cold voice came from inside.
The head of the intelligence department did not have time to think about it and quickly pushed the door open. He looked at the man who was frowning not far away and said anxiously: "Director! Urgent information!"
"Urgent information?"
"Yes."
The head nodded and said: "The urgent military information sent by the Jin Province barbed wire is about the unit that has repeatedly hit the Japanese in the battlefield behind enemy lines in Jin Province."
"Oh, really?"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and bring the telegram over!"
"Yes, Director!"
The man quickly handed it over.
Huh!
Just a quick glance.
The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and he said in surprise: "Qingfeng Village? Bandits? How is this possible?"
"Director!"
The head of the intelligence department nodded immediately and said solemnly: "We have cross-confirmed the intelligence with the undercovers stationed in Taiyuan. It was indeed the Qingfeng Village Anti-Japanese War Group that had previously dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese!"
"Can a mere bandit continuously deal a heavy blow to the Japanese?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were full of doubt and surprise.
Previously, they sent a large number of intelligence personnel to work in Shanxi Province to find out the truth of this matter.
But now it turned out to be such a result!
This is too unbelievable!
"I'm afraid that's the truth!"
The head of the intelligence department naturally knew that this matter was too outrageous. It would cost a lot to eliminate these thousands of Japanese on the front battlefield, and the ones who carried out the operation were almost all the main forces of the government, but now it was the bandits who eliminated so many elite Japanese on the battlefield behind enemy lines.
It would be ridiculous if this got out!
But he also knew that this was not the time to dwell on these things, and anxiously said again: "Director! The most critical thing now is the news from Taiyuan that the devils will send the Seventh Brigade to launch a clearing operation against Qingfeng Village in two days, but the latter seems to have no signs of evacuating."
"Did you send a message to inform the other party?"
"Yes!"
The head of the intelligence department nodded and said: "As soon as our intelligence personnel received the news, they sent a special person to deliver it through secret channels!"
"This is a very good thing!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Although this is a bandit force, since it can severely damage the devils, we naturally have to protect it. This information is also a good thing for our government, but - the other party has not withdrawn at all. Retreat, this is too strange! "
"Yes! "
The head of the intelligence department nodded and said puzzledly: "The combat power shown by this unit before is indeed good, but it is definitely not the opponent of the Seventh Brigade of the Japanese. The latter defeated our 31st Army on the flank in the previous Changsha battle. If it had not suffered heavy casualties in this battle, it would not have been possible to temporarily return to the rear for recuperation. "
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "The big guys in the Army General Staff are very curious about this unit. Now that such a thing has happened, we should deliver this news first! Alas-but judging from the current situation, if the other party does not withdraw, it may be in danger!"
...
Time passed slowly.
The situation around the entire Laiyang County suddenly became tense again.
If the arrival of the Seventh Brigade previously gave strong pressure to all parties, then the atmosphere of impending storm became more intense after the exposure of the heavy blow to the Japanese in Qingfeng Village.
Everyone can see it.
The Japanese, who now have a great advantage, will never give up.
With such a powerful force as the Seventh Field Brigade, it is possible for them to attack Qingfeng Village at any time.
Sure enough.
In the afternoon a few days later.
Another large brigade entered Laiyang County.
Compared with the well-equipped and powerful Seventh Brigade, although this brigade has a similar number of people, it is obviously inferior in terms of lineup and morale, and they are not equipped with any armored units, and even the number of artillery seems to be less.
This is naturally the 29th Brigade.
The Japanese still have a large number of troops in Shanxi Province, but there are too many armed forces to guard and deal with, which is a bit stretched at this time.
At this time, such a large brigade can be sent to support, which is enough to show how much Shinozuka Yoshio values the direction of Laiyang County.
Soon.
The news of the arrival of the Japanese brigade spread instantly.
The surrounding troops who had spies in the county naturally got the news first. At the same time, almost everyone's eyes were onThey all swept towards Qingfeng Village.
Everyone knew it.
A big battle was about to begin.
…
Qingfeng Village.
On the parade ground in the heart of the village.
At this time, all the main forces of the Anti-Japanese War Regiment had gathered here.
"Report!"
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou Weiguo quickly came to the rostrum and said loudly: "The three infantry battalions (1350), assault battalion (450), cavalry battalion (350), light artillery battalion (450), heavy artillery battalion (500), armored company (156), guard company (120), transportation and communication company (240) and the regiment headquarters (30), a total of 3646 people, now waiting for the commander's dispatch!"
"Waiting for the commander's dispatch!"
"Waiting for the commander's dispatch!"
"…"
Everyone present shouted in unison.
This scene was really exciting, even Lu Zhixian was slightly moved.
Unexpectedly.
In just a few months.
Now his men have gathered such a large army.
Thinking about how embarrassed he was when he was driven out of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, he now has so many brothers and occupies such a stable base.
"Pa!"
Lu Zhixian quickly saluted and said loudly without hesitation:
"Brothers! I don't want to hide it from you."
"Just now, the 29th Brigade of the Japanese has entered Laiyang County, and we have received news that the Japanese ace field force-the 7th Brigade will soon launch a large-scale clearing operation against our base."
"I think you all know about the 7th Brigade! This is an extremely powerful field force of the Japanese. It is not only equipped with a large number of powerful artillery, but also has powerful armored vehicles. Previously, the 358th Regiment was severely damaged by it in just one day and one night, and it used to be even Fighting the main force of the National Government on the front battlefield!"
"Someone asked me! Since such a powerful force is coming to wipe us out, why don't we move immediately? I can tell you now! As long as we move, we will have to give up the base that we have built with great difficulty, and we will also give up a lot of baggage and supplies. At that time, we will even face the endless pursuit of the devils. If that happens, we will really be a group of bandit strongholds without any reinforcements or supplies, and we can only be chased all over the world!"
"Now the enemy is about to attack, I ask you if you have the courage to fight?"
"Yes!"
All the soldiers' voices were like a bell.
Lu Zhixian swept his eyes over the people present, and said in a deep voice: "If anyone is afraid, I can give him a chance. Let him take off his military uniform and hand over his weapons! Let him move quickly, I, Lu Zhixian, will never embarrass him, right?"
"No!"
The eyes of the whole regiment were firm.
"Good!"
Lu Zhixian looked excited and shouted loudly: "You are all men of courage! Push the bullets into the gun chamber, unscrew the caps of the grenades, and prepare the shells for me! If they want to destroy my Anti-Japanese Regiment, they still lack a good pair of teeth! The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, and we must draw our swords when we meet the enemy! We must kill the Anti-Japanese Regiment with prestige. If we win this battle, we will completely gain a firm foothold!"
"Draw the sword!"
"Draw the sword!"
"Draw the sword!"
