Rise from the sword

Chapter 184 Departure
Yang Village.

In front of Wang Xikui was an old beech wood table full of equipment.

A long-barreled sniper rifle wrapped in cotton cloth, an adjustable multiplier scope that was also tightly wrapped in cotton cloth, a 150-round belt full of bullets, a ten-gun buckler, four spare ten-round buckler magazines, two A smoke grenade, two high-explosive grenades, a canteen, and a bayonet with a sheath.

Putting the weapons and equipment on his back in turn, Wang Xikui finally touched the bayonet.

There is a bipod in front of the sniper rifle, so there is no bayonet bayonet, and the sniper rifle that pursues extreme precision is not suitable for stabbing. This bayonet was specially customized by him.

Longer than ordinary bayonets, it can be used as a hatchet for traveling in the forest, or held directly in the hand for bayonet stabbing.

Putting the bayonet behind his buttocks, Wang Xikui stood on tiptoes and shook, after confirming that the belongings on his body were solid and would not fall off, he looked to Shunzi, who was observing at the side: "Have you brought everything?"

Wang Xikui, who is already in his forties, has a hoarse voice in the vicissitudes of life, with strong traces of time.

"Bring it."

Shunzi, an observer in her 20s, clapped the package in her hand with a loud voice.

"clean up"

Wang Xikui looked at the package he made in Shunzi's arms.

"Yes."

Following Shunzi's answer, he opened the cotton backpack in his hand, and took out items one by one and placed them on the table.

"Map, observation mirror, 150 rounds of spare ammunition, ten rounds of shell gun..."

"Folding military shovel, snow camouflage suit, food bag, tent, lunch box, a bag of sugar, straps..."

"..."

"Bring everything, don't worry."

The last item was placed on the table, looking at the table full of items, Shunzi said that he was full of confidence.

Because of Wang Xikui's physical strength, the task of carrying the baggage fell on Shunzi.

Although he also looks thin-boned, he has a lot of muscles, and his whole body is full of inexhaustible strength. This is especially obvious after the independent group's food has improved recently and they have meat to eat every now and then.

Now, he is not bragging about the ninety kilograms of equipment. With these on his back, he can easily walk a hundred and eighty miles of mountain roads in one night without panting.

A man from Jin who is full of food and drink is just so strong and powerful.

"Well, not bad, nothing has been left behind this time, and progress has been made."

Wang Xikui nodded.

"Hey hey..."

Shunzi rubbed her head in embarrassment.

I don't know why, every time he is responsible for packing up the equipment, there will always be one or two things left behind. Although they are all unimportant items and have no major impact on the combat mission, it also makes him feel embarrassed.

"This is···"

Wang Xikui, who was about to ask Shunzi to put away his things, suddenly sniffed his nose. The faint smell of meat in his nostrils made him look at the lunch box seized from the devil officer: "I brought canned meat this time?"

"Yes." Shunzi nodded happily: "I heard that we have a long mission this time, and the cooking team specially left more than a catty of canned meat for us to take with us. It can be stored for a long time in winter, so don't worry about it breaking. "

"Is there new canned meat in the regiment?"

Wang Xikui's tone was joyful.

There is nothing more refreshing than eating a meal with meat between combat missions.

However, he remembered that there was not much canned meat in the group. The most obvious thing was that the meat used to be eaten once every three days had become a meal once a week, and the amount was much smaller.

The reduction of meat made the soldiers in the regiment miss the days when they ate meat.

"The head of the group seems to have bought another batch recently."

While packing things, Shunzi couldn't help but praise his head Li Da: "Our head is really capable, this time not only brought a lot of meat, but also brought a lot of fine grains."

"flour and rice?"

Wang Xikui looked at Shunzi with a surprised tone.

These days, the devils came and robbed grain everywhere. Even the landlords rarely had fine grains. Even the stocks of the landlords' houses obtained from Jiazhuang before were mostly coarse grains.

"Yes, fine grains."

The young Orion-born Shunzi opened a bag of dry food in his backpack, and inside were pieces of corn pancakes: "Look, these are sent to us by the cooking team."

"In addition, a bag of rice was also given, we can cook and eat it on the way." After closing the dry food bag, Shunzi opened a cotton bag that was one size smaller, revealing the crystal clear rice inside.

"Our regiment is getting better and better these days."

The aroma of fried corn mixed with white flour and the fragrance of rice made Wang Xikui take a deep breath, close his eyes, and look intoxicated.

Although coarse grains and fine grains can be full, although everyone doesn't care much, fine grains such as rice and white noodles are obviously much more delicious than coarse grains such as sorghum, and they are easier to digest. Of course, they are also more resistant to hunger.

Who doesn't like something delicious?
"Go, let's go."

Afterwards, Wang Xikui opened his eyes, his eyes were full of murderous intent: "The regiment has prepared food and drink for us, then we have to beat the devils hard."

"of course."

Putting on her huge backpack and carrying her own Mauser rifle without a scope, Sunja exhaled loudly and forcefully.

"This time, our goal is Jiao County."

Looking at the map for the last time, Wang Xikui tightened his gun belt, and then strode towards Jiao County.

At the same moment when the two set off, Cao Mantang set off for Jiao County via another road.

·····
"what?"

In the middle of the night, Ding Wei looked at Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong, his mouth was wide open, his face full of disbelief, his eyes seemed to be looking at a lunatic: "The chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front?"

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong smiled, met Ding Wei's eyes, and said with a murderous tone, "Yes, this time, my target is the little devil, Lieutenant General Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the North China Front Army."

"It is said that this old devil is coming to Jiao County for inspection, hehe, since he is here, don't go back."

"hiss···"

Hearing Li Yunlong's confirmation, Ding Wei gasped.

Chief of Staff of the Japanese North China Front Army, Lieutenant General of the Devils!
A lieutenant general and chief of staff of an army of 10,000+, a high-ranking official of the devils in active service, and the second-in-command of the North China Front Army, he knows without thinking how tight his security must be, and the difficulty of attacking him is absolutely as high as heaven.

If it is not done well, the meat will not be eaten, and none of the people who went there will be able to come back.

"you sure?"

Ding Wei couldn't help asking.

This is much more difficult than shelling the airport to rob Taiyuan of gold.

Of course, compared to grabbing gold, the bombardment of the airport has more impact on the battle situation. The tactical level may not be as good as the previous two, but the strategic level, the improvement of the overall morale and the blow to the morale of the devils are far beyond.

"When did I blow this cowhide?"

Li Yunlong held his head high and handed Ding Wei the information about this business.

"What is the strength of Miyano Doichi's guard?"

Ding Wei looked at the information about the Jiaoxian devils in his hand, his eyes flickering.

He was moved.

Although the location of Jiao County is relatively far from the edge of the base area, it is just the limit distance of the mobility of the Eighth Route Army troops, and the troops do have the ability to fight here.

In Jiao County, there is only one regiment stationed, that is, the strength of three brigades, but this is not a reorganized regiment. One of the brigades is the troops of the Fifth Division, and the other two are the troops of the 33rd Regiment. A total of more than 300 people.

The two brigades of the 33rd Regiment are reserve brigades. Each brigade has only more than 500 people, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. What needs attention is the brigade left by the fifth division. As a permanent division of the Japanese army, its combat effectiveness is far from ordinary The devil brigade can be compared. This brigade is fully staffed, with more than 1000 people and more than [-] people, and it is also equipped with an artillery squadron.

If it was before, Ding Wei would never have had an idea.

Three Japanese brigades, and one of them was an elite brigade of permanent divisions. When he met him, he must have run as soon as he could run, without hesitation, as far as he could.

but.

In the battle of Yuliao, Ding Wei gained some confidence after he had a head-to-head confrontation with the two brigades of the devils and took advantage of it.

And devils, even if they are playing head-to-head, without sufficient geographical advantages and small military advantages, as long as the equipment gap is not large, it is actually nothing more than that.

"This old devil doesn't know what he's here to investigate. He plans to lead a small team around Jiao County."

Li Yunlong handed over the second piece of intelligence information: "There are two armored vehicles and a motorcycle team accompanying him. There are about 80 people. The combat effectiveness is not strong, but I don't know the specific course of action."

"In other words, we have to find him first."

After reading the information in his hand, Ding Wei squinted his eyes: "The surrounding area of ​​Jiao County is the intersection of roads in the whole of Shanxi. It is connected to the railway. It is the material distribution center for devils. There are many roads around. I found this old devil with this little information. It's not easy."

"Of course I know that."

Li Yunlong smiled confidently, and handed over the third piece of information.

Ding Wei took the information in his hand, looked at it, and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "This is the old devil's schedule, No. 17, which means arriving in Jiao County at noon in ten days' time."

"Is this information accurate?"

Subconsciously, Ding Wei asked.

The previous two pieces of information, the strength of the devils in Jiaoxian County, and the size of Miyano Doichi's guards, are not difficult to obtain, and the degree of secrecy is not high. These information can be easily obtained through the puppet army.

But the specific itinerary of a devil lieutenant general, which is absolutely highly confidential information, unless it is Japanese, and it must be a Japanese with a high status, it is difficult for anyone to know.

"I can guarantee that the information is absolutely accurate."

Li Yunlong vowed firmly.

After so many cooperations, Captain Li has already established a certain trust in Chen Fan.

Ding Wei didn't continue to struggle with the accuracy of the information, he also trusted Li Yunlong, and believed in Li Yunlong's judgment.

"Then, as long as we send someone to keep an eye on Jiaoxian County, and if there is a convoy of armored vehicles going out, and the number is confirmed, then we can prepare to do it."

Head Ding looked at the map of the surrounding area of ​​Jiao County on the table, thinking: "However, although the devils in Jiao County will not go with them to protect them, they will definitely support them immediately if they encounter an attack."

"There is no good ambush site near Jiao County. We can only attack by force. There are more than 80 devils and two armored vehicles. If we can't dispatch a large force, it will take at least an hour to take down."

"That is to say, you want me to take two battalions to stop the devil reinforcements in Jiao County for more than an hour?"

As worthy of being an old comrade-in-arms of Li Datuan, he saw Li Yunlong's plan at a glance.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong smiled:
"Yes, I have recruited veterans from various battalions and companies to form an elite company, plus my special team, the offensive force is enough, and if there are more, it will be easy to be discovered."

"At that time, brother, as long as you lead two battalions to ambush near Jiao County, and after my elite company strikes, you can contain the reinforcements from the devils from the flanks and buy time for the attacking troops."

Ding Wei didn't answer immediately, but looked at the map carefully for a while before he said:

"There is no problem with troop movement here, but..."

"Jiao County has three brigades, almost the strength of a regiment, and there is also a main brigade of the fifth division. I only brought two battalions this time, and you have no way to support the troops yourself. You are at a disadvantage in terms of strength. , and there is no advantage in firepower, I am afraid this battle will be a bit difficult to fight."

Li Yunlong glanced at Ding Wei.

It's hard to beat!
It means that you can fight, but you have to give some benefits.

But Li Datuan has long been prepared.

Two hundred big mules with solid leather and easy to feed are much better than dozens of tons of weapons and ammunition for the independent regiment. In order to get these mules, Li Yunlong is going to spend a lot of money.

"The battalions from your two regiments have brought artillery companies. I will add an 82 mortar to each of your battalions. This time, you can open your fire. No matter how many shells and bullets you shoot, I, Lao Li Reimbursement, unlimited."

Li Yunlong waved his hand curiously:

"How about it, is it much easier to fight this way?"

"Really?"

Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong with surprise.

He just wanted a little benefit, but he didn't expect Li Yunlong to be so generous...
For this operation, a lot of weapons and ammunition have been given before, and the price has already been paid. According to common sense, they have to pay for the consumption of ammunition this time.

It seems that by killing this Miyano Doichi, Li Yunlong can get a lot of good things... Ding Wei thought to himself.

"of course."

Li Yunlong patted the table with a very angry look: "If you don't believe me, I can make written evidence to prove it."

"but."

Li Yunlong paused, then continued: "You must keep the devil's reinforcements near Jiao County."

If it wasn't for the two hundred big mules, Li Yunlong would not be willing to shed so much blood. In order for Ding Wei to try his best to stop the reinforcements from Jiao County, Li Datuan chose to bleed heavily.

"Row."

Ding Wei's tone was decisive.

Although he didn't know what benefits it would bring to kill this Miyano Michiichi, seeing Li Yunlong's huge investment, Ding Wei also decided to be more serious.

Things that can be seen by Li Yunlong today must be good things, and they must be good things.

"Hahaha···"

"Then it's settled."

After Li Yunlong laughed, he suddenly took out an order from the headquarters, and his words were full of yin and yang: "Comrade Ding Wei, when you see me in the future, remember to salute first!"

"Ok?"

Ding Wei, who was planning how to fight this battle, was full of doubts.
