Chapter 294 Your Excellency, Commander, Knows Eight Ways.

The guard put two cups of tea in front of Shinozuka Yoshio and Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

"Mr. Nanshan, the first batch of three ranks of troops dispatched by the Front Army to the First Army has already set off."

Yoshio Shinozuka stretched out his hand, gestured for tea, and said, "Because the Zhengtai Railway has not been repaired, these three military trains will stop at Baoding and Changshan. After the Zhengtai Railway is unblocked, the military train will go to Taiyuan again." .”

The three military columns are 3000 tons of materials, while the Japanese army's 1.5 trucks can only transport [-] tons at most in one trip.

If such a huge amount of materials is transported by truck, it will have to be transported to the Year of the Monkey.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that railways are the blood and lifeblood of devils. Devils rely on railways to transport in the weapons and ammunition they need for plunder, and they also rely on railway transportation to transport the plundered resources away.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you are worried..." Kusuyama Hideyoshi instantly guessed Shinozuka Yoshio's thoughts, and asked, "Will the Eighth Route Army take this opportunity to rob the military ranks?"

"Yes." Shinozuka Yoshio nodded, with a worried tone: "The Eighth Route's information is so powerful that it is almost pervasive. It shouldn't be difficult for them to obtain information about the military ranks."

From the failure of the secret service team to attack Daxia Bay, to the destruction of the observation group and the 9th Brigade, to the shelling of Niangziguan, which caused the Japanese army to lose a major general and a lieutenant general, and a regiment was severely damaged...

All of these are top-secret information, but each time Eight Routes can be informed in advance, which shows the powerful intelligence capabilities of Eight Routes.

The Japanese army knew nothing about the Eighth Route Army, but the Eighth Route Army seemed to have opened up the perspective of God. How to fight this battle?
Even if the Japanese army is well equipped and the quality of individual soldiers is high, it will not take advantage of it.

"Your Excellency, Commander, knows Eight Routes." Kusuyama Hideyoshi's tone was affirmative: "I dare to assert that Eight Routes will definitely use this batch of supplies."

"Oh?" Shinozuka Yoshio was surprised, "Mr. Kusuyama thinks so too?"

Kusuyama Hideyoshi then said:

"In the past, the Eighth Route may have no intelligence, or may not be strong enough. They seldom used the idea of ​​transporting military columns from the Imperial Army."

"But now the strength of the Jindongnan Eighth Route is not what it used to be. It already has the strength to fight head-on with an infantry brigade of the Imperial Army."

"It's not too difficult for the Eight Route Army to rob the military column."

"According to past experience, Balu will definitely take action after receiving the information. After all, once this batch of supplies is successfully transported to Taiyuan, life will be difficult for Balu."

Although the 9th Brigade was completely wiped out, Shinozuka Yoshio and Kusuyama Hideyoshi agreed that the Eighth Route could only win by relying on intelligence and air support.

The Eighth Route Army has only 385 and 386 brigades, especially Li Yunlong's department has some combat effectiveness, and other troops are not worth mentioning.

Moreover, Shinozuka Yoshio thought that Li Yunlong had been promoted to the division commander, which shocked him a lot. After investigation by the intelligence department, Li Yunlong was not promoted to the division commander of the Eighth Route Army, and until now he was only a regiment commander.

Shinozuka Yoshio breathed a sigh of relief, you are just a regiment leader, the imperial army will wipe you out sooner or later.

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka said worriedly: "That's what I'm worried about. Does Kusuyama-kun have any suggestions?"

Yoshio Shinozuka would not be so worried if it was before the Hundred Regiments War initiated by the Eighth Route.

Because the former Zhengtai Railway had built artillery towers or strongholds every 1.5 kilometers, it was not so easy for the Eighth Route to rob the military columns.

Now, although the Zhengtai Railway is about to be repaired, without those gun towers and strongholds as eyes, Balu can do it wherever he wants.

Absolutely impossible to guard against.

"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi said, "I have an immature idea."

Shinozuka Yoshio's expression changed, and he said, "Mr. Nanshan, it's okay to say."

Nanshan Hideyoshi then said: "The most likely place for Eighth Road to attack is the Zhengtai Railway Jingxing County to Jinzhong section, about 180 kilometers of railway line."

“现在我们能动用的兵力有第14旅团，第18旅团和近卫第2师团第4、第5步兵联队。”

"A total of 18 infantry brigades are used as mobile brigades. We only need to station these 18 infantry brigades on the Zhengtai Railway at intervals of 10 kilometers."

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes brightened slightly: "In this way, no matter where the Eight Routes attack, they will be surrounded and attacked by at least two brigades of imperial troops within half an hour. The more there are, the eight roads can only give up."

Nanshan Hideyoshi said: "We will increase the strength of each military train, and then apply for a Type [-] armored train escort from the North China Front Army to ensure that the train can last for at least half an hour if it is attacked."

"What's more, even if the Eighth Route Army destroys all the imperial troops escorting the military train within half an hour, and destroys the Type [-] armored train."

"It will take at least 1000 to 2 hours for Eight Roads to move 3 tons of supplies."

"Within these two hours, elites from at least two regiments of the Imperial Army were able to arrive at the scene of the incident."

"Under the pursuit of the elite imperial army of the two regiments, the Eight Route Army must have no way to escape with thousands of tons of supplies."

Shinozuka Yoshio followed Kusuyama Hideyoshi's train of thought and said, "Because they are stationed by the railway, the supply of these 18 mobile brigades is also very simple."

"We can also put smoke bombs, such as revealing false news to the Eight Roads, so that the Eight Roads will be busy for nothing."

"The military train of supplies from Changshan and Baoding to the Jingxing County Railway Station stopped still, and the departure time was decided temporarily, so that no one knew when the train would leave."

"No matter how powerful the Eighth Route's intelligence is, it is impossible to know in advance the information that the military column of supplies departs from Jingxing County."

Kusuyama Hideyoshi said: "In addition, each mobile brigade sends out a small team of soldiers to search and patrol along both sides of the railway every half an hour to prevent the Eight Routes from ambush."

"Look, Commander, a complete defense plan has been prepared."

"As long as the plan is implemented properly, a division will arrive in Taiyuan with tons of supplies."

"Yoxi!" Shinozuka Yoshio said happily, "Mr. Nanshan's strategy is not to say flawless, at least it is impeccable."

"Your Excellency, Commander, praise." Kusuyama Hideyoshi said modestly, "This plan was made by me and Your Excellency the Commander."

Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "Mr. Nanshan, you continue to make the battle plan for the spring sweep. This time, I will take full charge of commanding the deployment and material transportation of the mobile brigade."

"Hi."

……

The half-month period has come, and Chen Feng came to Yangcun by appointment.

But this time, he brought not only Yan Shuangying, but also the widow sister.

The sentry at the entrance of the village knew Chen Feng and let him go immediately.

Chen Feng, Yan Shuangying and the widow entered Yang Village on horseback.

Chen Feng and Yan Shuangying have seen many fighters, but this is the first time for the widow to show up.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, a black leather jacket outlines the figure with unevenness, sharp eyes, a beautiful expressionless face, and a pistol holster hanging on the left and right sides of the thin waist. This foreign woman is not easy to mess with.

The soldiers of the new regiment saw foreign women for the first time in their lives, and their eyeballs almost fell out.

The soldiers who are training are so engrossed that even the queue is in chaos...

"Haha, Brother Chen!"

At the gate of Xinyi regiment, Li Yunlong received a call from the sentinel at the village gate and came out to greet him with Zhao Gang.

Before the people reached the door, the loud voice of Li Datuan and his unique voice came out.

At this time, Chen Feng, Yan Shuangying and the widowed sister walked to the door and got off their horses just in time.

Seeing Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang coming out, Chen Feng cupped his hands: "Brother Li, Brother Zhao."

"Brother Chen..."

"what?"

Li Yunlong habitually glanced behind Chen Feng, beside Brother Chen, there was actually a foreign girl today.

According to the position of this foreign girl, Li Yunlong judged that it should be Brother Chen's bodyguard.

Zhao Gang also cast a surprised look.

Chen Feng quickly said: "Brother Li, Brother Zhao, let me introduce to you, this is my bodyguard widow."

The widow looked at Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, and said in correct Chinese: "Mr. Li, Mr. Zhao."

"Happy to meet."

"Happy to meet."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang bowed their hands to the widow.

Li Yunlong was not too surprised when a foreigner appeared beside Chen Feng. He had seen a strong foreign bodyguard next to Chen Feng, but he didn't show up later, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng, with a smile and eyes that men could understand.

It seems that Brother Chen has no shortage of women around him, so he is really not bragging.

No wonder Brother Chen refused our old Li to get him a Japanese girl. It turned out that Brother Chen liked European and American girls, and she was a widow.

interesting...

"Brother Chen, please come in."

While Li Datuan was diverging his thoughts, Zhao Gang had already made a gesture of invitation to Chen Feng.

"Brother Chen, please." Leader Li also hurriedly said.

Yan Shuangying and the widow were waiting outside the courtyard gate.

Li Yunlong, Chen Feng and Zhao Gang walked into the regiment headquarters together.

As soon as he entered the inner room of the regiment headquarters, Chen Feng saw that the kang table was already filled with good wine and food.

Chen Feng was also polite, and sat cross-legged on the kang.

It was still Chen Feng and Zhao Gang drinking, and Li Yunlong drinking water.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Yunlong said: "Brother Chen, the Garand semi-automatic rifle you gave me is really good, but it is not suitable for my cavalry, it is a bit heavy and the magazine will automatically pop out after the bullet is finished, no It is beneficial to fight on horseback, brother, do you have a solution?"

Hearing the words, Chen Feng looked thoughtful, but he was negligent. He only wanted to provide the strongest firepower for the Xinyi regiment, without considering the actual situation.

"There is a solution." Chen Feng nodded and said, "I have a semi-automatic rifle that is more suitable for cavalry."

"The M1 carbine weighs only 4.6 kilograms. It is 6 centimeters shorter and 2 kilograms lighter than the Japanese Army's Type [-] infantry rifle. It should be very suitable for cavalry equipment."

"The ammunition capacity is 15 rounds, and the range and accuracy are quite suitable for cavalry use."

"In addition, soldiers from the artillery battalion, machine gun battalion and heavy machine gun battalion of your regiment can also be equipped with this M1 carbine."

At present, most soldiers in the artillery battalion, machine gun battalion and heavy machine gun battalion are not equipped with guns, and only a few soldiers are equipped with pistols.

This is indeed a hidden danger. Once attacked by enemy troops, they don't even have the minimum self-defense ability.

And this M1 carbine is only 5 catties at most with bullets, which has little effect on the weight of soldiers.

Fits the outfit.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

Leader Li smiled honestly: "Brother, this is a carbine, give me an advance payment of 1, and there is also a Yunlong knife, and an advance payment of 1500."
