Chapter 453 The Japs are about to take action

Since Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang finished talking, half a year has passed. During this period, no other accidents have occurred. The new regiment has been safe and sound, and the construction of the base area is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Now, the entire Pingan County has been turned into a piece of iron by the New Regiment. Except for the county seat, all other places are under the control of the New Regiment.

The high-yielding seeds that Li Yunlong arranged for the soldiers to reclaim land and plant before were also harvested.

Although several months have passed now, Li Yunlong still remembers Zhao Gang's excited eyes when he finished harvesting the grain and calculated the yield per mu.

After all, he knows what high-yield and improved seeds mean to a country, especially an agricultural country like China with hundreds of millions of people.

Although Zhao Gang is an intellectual, he also farmed when he was at home. The wheat they planted before could only produce about 200 kilograms per acre, and no more than three hundred kilograms at most. But Li Yunlong seized the grain seeds from the Japanese.

, but it more than doubled.

No wonder Zhao Gang was excited, this news is actually a bit shocking. If all the land in the country were planted with this kind of grain... it would be incredible to think about it.

So as soon as Zhao Gang got the news, he forwarded the good news to the headquarters.

Then the headquarters sent people over to pull away some seeds, and wanted to test it in other base areas. If there is no problem, we can promote it on a large scale.

…………

At this time, the Japanese Army's First Military Region Headquarters was far away in Taiyuan.

Kusuyama Hideyoshi was reporting the battle plan he had formulated to Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is my battle plan. Please take a look at it." After Kusuyama Hideyoshi finished speaking, he handed over the manuscript in his hand.

Although the Japs have been silent since Li Yunlong sent troops to besiege Ping'an County last time, it's not that they don't want revenge, it's because their troops are limited. After all, their enemies are not only the Eighth Route Army, but also the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army. But now

It’s different. The Kwantung Army has sent several troops to support them. So they now have enough troops, so Yoshio Shinozuka’s first thought is to deal with Li Yunlong. After all, Li Yunlong has repeatedly fought with their First Army.

On the contrary, many outstanding commanders are in the hands of Li Yunlong.

"Oh, Nanshan-kun, have you completed the battle plan so quickly?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked a little surprised. After all, it had only been two days since he and Kusuyama Hideyoshi discussed dealing with Li Yunlong. It took such a short time to complete a plan.

This combat plan is indeed a bit fast.

Although he was confused, Yoshio Shinozuka took the plan and opened it curiously.

I found that some ideas in the plan written by Kusuyama Hideyoshi were very new, so I walked to the sand table and simulated on the sand table and map while reading the plan.

He nodded while simulating, as if he was confirming Kusuyama Hideyoshi's battle plan.

Kusuyama Hideyoshi was also very satisfied after seeing Yoshio Shinozuka's actions.

"Nanshan Jun's plan is perfect, but

Have you discovered that there is a big loophole in this plan?" Yoshio Shinozuka studied the sand table for a long time and then turned to Kusuyama Hideyoshi with a frown.

"Oh, please correct me, Commander." Kusuyama Hideyoshi pretended to be humble and said to Shinozuka Yoshio. In fact, he knew that the problem Shinozuka Yoshio mentioned was nothing more than a matter of military strength, but as a qualified attribute

Next, when doing things, you should always leave some flaws for your leaders so that they can pick them out. Otherwise, how can they demonstrate their status as leaders?

"Nanzan-kun, the biggest problem with your combat plan is the lack of troops. However, this problem has been solved by me. I have applied to General Okamura some time ago to transfer some troops from the Northeast." Yoshio Shinozuka squinted his eyes.

Looking at Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

"Kwantung Army?" Kusuyama Hideyoshi asked in surprise.

"Yes, two divisions will be transferred from the Kwantung Army. In this way, the problem of insufficient troops will be solved, and the possibility of the success of this combat plan will be guaranteed." Shinozuka Yoshio said firmly to Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

.

"Thank you, Commander. If there are two divisions of the Eastern Army, then our operation will definitely be successful." Kusuyama Hideyoshi said somewhat flexibly. After all, this is the Kwantung Army, known as the elite of the Japanese army. It has been stationed in the Northeast for defense.

A big country in the north will not move south easily. I didn't expect that the commander is so capable that he transferred two divisions of the Kwantung Army at once.

"Okay, Mr. Nanshan, let's start mobilizing troops according to your battle plan. The Kwantung Army of the two divisions is expected to arrive in a few days, but Mr. Nanshan will be busy next. During this time,

Work harder." Yoshio Shinozuka said to Kusuyama Hideyoshi, and patted Kusuyama Hideyoshi on the shoulder.

"It's not hard, Commander. It's not hard. This is my honor." Kusuyama Hideyoshi responded.

"Okay, go down and get ready." Yoshio Shinozuka waved to Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

"Hai." Kusuyama Hideyoshi agreed and then turned around and walked out of the office.

…………

Soon, the Japanese began to mobilize troops and move some supplies. Of course, such a big move cannot be hidden from the informants and intelligence personnel of all parties.

Li Yunlong and the others also obtained relevant information.

"Old Li, there is news from the inside. The Japs have begun to mobilize troops. I think the Japs are going to attack us." Zhao Gang walked into the regiment headquarters and said to Li Yunlong who was looking at the map.

Because Zhao Gang has always been in charge of the intelligence of the New Regiment. When allocating work, Li Yunlong was in charge of the military and Zhao Gang was in charge of life. Later, Zhao Gang took over the intelligence work. The main reason was that the intelligence work was too important and related to the New Regiment.

Li Yunlong would not worry about leaving Wan Wan's life or death to others.

"This Japs moves very quickly. After finally settling down for a while, something happened again." After hearing what Zhao Gang said, Li Yunlong responded and said, "Have you notified the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment?"

"Notified, I have sent people to send them the relevant information, but they also have their own intelligence personnel, who are aware of it." After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang responded: "Old Li, it looks like the devils are here this time.

It's coming in a big way, we have to prepare in advance and we can't just sit back and wait for death."

"I don't think so, as he is coming very menacingly. I'm wondering if we should evacuate the people. This time the Japanese come, they will definitely retaliate a lot. If we can't resist it, it won't hurt our fellow villagers here."

Li Yunlong frowned and told Zhao Gang what he thought.

After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "I agree to give priority to evacuating the common people. In this way, we will have no worries. But with so many people, where will we evacuate? Also, if we do

If we can’t resist it, the base area will be occupied by the Japanese army, what will we do then?”

Thinking of this problem, Zhao Gang got a headache. In addition, there was the problem of the base area. She had been here for almost a year, and after a year of construction, the situation in the base area had changed greatly. If

If he couldn't resist and really let go, Zhao Gang would be a little reluctant to let go.

"Don't worry about the problems in the base area. Without the common people to worry about, we can freely fight against the Japs. Even if we fail, we can still fight guerrillas against the Japs. Moreover, we now have no shortage of food, weapons, and ammunition.

We can fight as long as we want, but the enemy is different. The deeper he goes into our base, the longer his logistics supply line will be. For us, this is an opportunity. When the time comes, it will be up to us who can survive.

." Li Yunlong said while looking at the map and looking at Zhao Gang.

"Old Zhao, you should immediately arrange for the evacuation of the masses. I will tell the brigade commander about this matter first, and let the brigade commander come forward to coordinate with the various ministries. Then the Japanese will be driven back and the fellow villagers will be moved back." Li Yunlong said to him.

Zhao Gang ordered.

"Okay, I'll do it now." After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang agreed and turned around and left.

Because this time the people are mobilized to evacuate their homeland, not just a few people, but a large number of people are leaving. Of course, those who want to stay and be close to the Japanese, and those who are traitors, are excluded.

In the 358th Regiment, Fang Ligong was also reporting to Chu Yunfei on the Japanese's unusual movements during this period.

"The regiment, forward observation posts and intelligence personnel have received news that the Japanese are mobilizing troops recently, and the target should be Li Yunlong's headquarters in Ping'an County." Fang Ligong said to Chu Yunfei who was reading a book.

Hearing Fang Ligong's words, Chu Yunfei put the book in his hand aside, then raised his head and said: "I had expected it a long time ago. Li Yunlong made such a big noise before. The Japs couldn't just leave it alone, but I didn't expect it either.

This day will come so late.

Let the forward observation posts pay close attention. The Japanese have waited for so long before taking action. They must have been gathering strength. The scale of this operation will definitely not be small. Even if I wanted to help Li Yunlong this time, I was powerless." Chu.

Yunfei said with some emotion.

"Regiment leader, it doesn't matter whether you help the Eighth Route Army or not. How will Li Yunlong of the new regiment be swept away by the Japanese? I don't care either. What I'm more concerned about now is whether our 358th regiment can protect ourselves wisely during this Japanese sweep."

Fang Ligong adjusted his glasses with his hands and said seriously: "If this is not possible, I suggest you apply to the commander's department for retreat and transfer our defense area to another place."

Hearing Fang Ligong's words, Chu Yunfei was silent. In fact, he wanted to take action in this Japanese raid and compete with the little Japanese, not just for Li Yunlong, but also had other ideas, but he also knew

With the strength of the 358th Regiment, he knew the consequences of a head-on confrontation with the Japanese. So this was also the reason why he had been hesitant.

"Forget it, forget it, send a telegram to the superior department and report the situation here to the superior department and see what they say. This time, we will act according to the order of the superior department." Chu Yunfei finally thought for a while and then took the photo.

He got off the table and said to Fang Ligong.

After finishing speaking, Chu Yunfei looked outside the room again and said to himself: "Brother Yunlong, I can't help you this time, so you can do your best."

After hearing Chu Yunfei's words, he was afraid that he would regret it, so Fang Ligong quickly said: "Yes, leader, I will send a telegram to the senior officials now to see what their opinions are."

"It's really a storm that's about to come." Chu Yunfei couldn't help but sigh as he watched Fang Ligong leave, then sat down and continued reading.

He was not worried at all, and looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. The purpose of asking Fang Ligong to send a telegram to the commander's department was to retreat, because he knew that his commander would definitely prefer him to retreat. The reason for sending the telegram was to find him.

The reason, in addition, was that Fang Ligong was originally sent by Yan Laoxi to inspect him, and he believed that Fang Ligong would do everything well.

…………

At this time, the Eighth Route Army Brigade Headquarters also received news of the Japanese mobilization.

Brigadier Chen was standing in front of the map and looking at the situation between ourselves and the enemy.

He didn't understand. Li Yunlong had done nothing during this period. Why were the Japs gathering towards him? Even if Li Yunlong had stabbed Lou Zi, it was only half a year ago.

"Brigadier Commander, according to the information leaked by our intelligence personnel, Shinozuka Yoshio may also mobilize the Kwantung Army, which has about two divisions. The specific two divisions are not yet clear." The chief of staff looked at him.

The brigade commander of the map said.

"Oh, the Kwantung Army is also back?" The brigade commander frowned even more when he heard this.

"Yes, and this combat plan was personally formulated by Kusuyama Hideyoshi, and he also added some new and suspicious ideas to this plan, but we don't know what they are yet," the chief of staff said to the brigade commander.

"It seems that Li Yunlong is really in trouble this time. Then we can't just sit here. Can we get the transfer information for the Japanese material mobilization this time? For such a big battle, they will definitely not bring enough combat materials themselves.

If you want to transport the supplies, you must pass through our defense zone, and let the troops block it when the time comes." The brigade commander thought for a while and said to the chief of staff beside him.

"Yes, brigade commander, I will give combat orders to the troops below now." After hearing the brigade commander's words, the chief of staff immediately turned around and left to give orders to the troops below.

………

Yan Xishan, who was at the headquarters of the Shanxi-Sui Army, also received intelligence from insiders. After all, he had been operating in Shanxi for so many years. Even though he had evacuated from Taiyuan now, he also had a lot of informants when he evacuated, so Taiyuan City

He can get the news without any disturbance.

"Sir, Commander Chu of the 358th Regiment sent a telegram saying that the Japanese would launch a major military operation against the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment next to their defense area, so he sent a telegram to ask us what to do. They are still waiting for us.

The command."

After hearing the words of his staff officer, Yan Xishan thought for a while and then replied: "Tell Chu Yunfei to evacuate the defense area temporarily and wait until the Japanese combat operations are over before returning. Save your strength first."
