Bandit Camp

Chapter 167 True Intention
Yan Xiwen sent Ye Tufei's tactical ideas to Lu Yao and Han Hongxun via telegram.

In less than 5 minutes, Lu Yao and Han Hongxun replied that they fully agreed with Ye Tufei's plan.

They are all excellent troop commanders, and they will quickly understand the ingenuity of this tactical plan with a little guidance.

At eight o'clock exactly, the Erlang Mountain bandit camp was ready to go.

Before leaving, Ye Tufei asked Yilian who stayed behind: "Boss Feng, Yilian is the backbone company of our Erlang Mountain bandit camp. It has the largest number of people and the best weapons. You have to show me your home."

Feng Zhongliang replied: "Don't worry, Liu Ye, the common people are basically transferred now, we must follow Liu Ye's instructions, take the little Japanese to have a good tour in Erlang Mountain, and wait for Liu Ye to come back and give them lessons!"

Zhang Luohui warned from the side: "Boss Feng, don't be fooled by Little Japan, remember Liu Ye's instructions, never fight with Little Japan, and if you are attached to Little Japan, don't love to fight."

Feng Zhongliang smiled, and said, "Sixth Master, why don't you keep the gray mule! Look at him like that, he must be more principled than me."

Zhang Luohui didn't wait for Ye Tufei to express his opinion, and sneaked back into the team.

After the account was made, the troops set off.

Except for the first company left behind, Ye Tufei took all the combat units of Erlang Mountain with him, a total of six infantry companies, two artillery companies, one engineering company, and a special warfare brigade.

The total force reached more than [-] people.

Marching in a hurry overnight, they arrived at the predetermined location at [-]:[-] a.m. After a brief contact with Han Hongxun and Lu Yao, Ye Tufei ordered the troops to hurry up and rest.

At this moment, the strength of a reinforced regiment under Lu Yao's command has basically reached the predetermined position.

At [-] o'clock, according to the plan arranged by Ye Tufei in advance, Han Hongxun's troops, who were confronting the Japanese army in Suyu County, took the lead in attacking.

Five minutes later, Lu Yao's troops launched a surprise attack from the west side of Suyu County.

Although Suyu County does not have a city wall like Xuzhou City, Little Japan has been operating for almost two years and has already built many permanent fortifications outside the county. It is not an easy task to attack.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Tufei planned such an attack plan with a time difference, the purpose of which was to make the Japanese army in Suyu County not sure which direction was the main attack direction of the enemy army.

Five minutes after Lu Yao's unit launched the attack, the bandit battalion began to move.

The bandit camp came from Luoma Lake, and it happened to be on the east side of Suyu County, and the east side of Suyu County happened to be the weakest defense in Suyu County, because it was only fifty miles east of Suyu County, and it was Shuyang County. Between the two counties, there is an official road that can drive two trucks side by side. Therefore, the mobility is super strong, so basically no anti-Japanese armed forces are active in this distance.

After Han Hongxun's attack, the offensive was extremely fierce, and 5 minutes later, Lu Yao's attack was not weaker than Han Hongxun's. In order to ensure the defense in these two directions, Little Japan will inevitably deploy troops from the southeast.

Therefore, the defenders facing the bandit battalion could not resist the assault of the wolf-like special warfare brigade.

The Japanese commander in charge of guarding the Eastern Front was very annoyed.

The enemy they faced didn't seem very strong, they didn't have many cannons in their hands, and the shells they fired were not accurate, they always landed in front of their own positions, and only occasionally one or two landed on the position .

However, his defenses were constantly being breached.

The Japanese commander observed carefully, and found that his bunker and the heavy firepower points on the position were all suppressed, and the opponent's ability to suppress his own heavy firepower points was not strong, and it felt that they were suppressed only with rifles.

The Japanese commander was not only annoyed, but also had an emotion that he didn't want to believe even if he was killed.

The bandit battalion did rely on rifles to suppress the heavy firepower of the Japanese army.

It's not that Ye Tufei doesn't have a cannon, let alone a lack of shells, but he thinks it's not worthwhile to use cannon fire to destroy the permanent fortifications of Little Japan, and he is still planning to keep these permanent fortifications for his own use.

Therefore, he specifically instructed the Paolian brothers to position the bombardment target at a point in front of the position or the bunker, just as a cover for the charging special warfare brigade.

At this time, the Special Operations Brigade already had nearly ten sharpshooters like Ye Tufei and Li Zhongyun, and they could block a shooting hole in the bunker with just a single rifle in their hands.

How many soldiers can be hidden in a bunker?
Any sharpshooter and a clip can solve the Japanese army in the bunker.

As for the light and heavy firepower points on the battlefield, with Ye Tufei and Li Zhongyun waiting in the back, it is very difficult for a machine gunner to shoot a long shot without being killed.

Besides, there are not many troops defending Little Japan and the Eastern Front.

Therefore, in just 10 minutes, the bandit battalion defeated the Japanese defensive positions on the eastern front and rushed into the county seat of Suyu County.

"The special warfare brigade followed me to attack the Japanese army headquarters. The second company, the third company, the fourth company and the artillery company were led by gray mules. They headed due north, and joined forces with Han Hongxun's troops to attack the Japanese army's northern line. Five companies, six companies, seven companies and three companies, Cooperate with the Second Artillery Company, attack westward, meet Lu Yao's troops, and let Wei Xiangdong take charge of the command."

After breaking into the county seat, Ye Tufei gave orders to the bandit battalion to split up and attack.

It's just that Little Japan is not stupid, and won't sit still and wait to be beaten.

When news of the breakthrough on the Eastern Front reached the Japanese headquarters, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Suyu County decisively issued an order to retreat across the board.

Half an hour later, the gunfire in Suyu County stopped.

It took less than an hour from when Han Hongxun's unit fired the first offensive shot, to when all the little Japanese withdrew from Suyu County and handed over the county to Ye Luhan's third unit.

After the victory meeting, both Han Hongxun and Lu Yao looked very excited.

This battle was fought so happily!
Under Ye Tufei's tactical arrangement, the Japanese army in Suyu County was simply vulnerable!
But Ye Tufei was the only one who couldn't get excited.

Han Hongxun persuaded: "Brother, please be content! Although not many little Japanese were killed in this battle, less than [-] little Japanese were killed inside and outside, but we won a county! , The blow is huge!"

Lu Yao also stirred up Ye Tufei's emotions: "Brother Ye, our goal is not only to take down Suyu County, but we have reached our first strategic goal so easily, no matter what, it's a good thing!"

Ye Tufei looked a little dazed, and responded to the two of them: "I always feel a little strange, Brother Han, do you still remember the battle we fought against Jia Jiawang last year?"

Han Hongxun was startled suddenly: "You mean that Little Japan deliberately let us in, and then concentrated its forces on the periphery, trying to make our dumplings?"

Ye Tufei shook his head, and said: "At least so far, there is no such sign in Little Japan, so don't be nervous. Brother Han. What I mean is that Little Japan's plan against us this time is very similar to Takahashi Shin's style. False and true, real and false, then, the little Japanese in Suyu County gave up the county so easily, I guess there must be fraud in it."

When Ye Tufei said this, Han and Lu also faintly felt something strange.

However, the three of them couldn't figure out what was the reason behind it.

"I don't care about him, I think, let's go ahead with the original plan, march to Erlang Mountain immediately, and defeat the Japanese army that invaded Erlang Mountain from behind." Lu Yao put forward his own opinion.

Ye Tufei glanced at Han Hongxun and said, "Brother Han, what's your opinion?"

Han Hongxun thought for a while, and said: "If Little Japan really has any intentions, then I think they are ready to deal with it at this moment. If we turn back to Erlang Mountain, will we be intercepted by Little Japan halfway? "

Ye Tufei shook his head, and said: "From the east bank of Luoma Lake, Little Japan is not so fast, but why do I feel that this little Japan is like
It seems that we really hope that we will toss back and forth like this, and I always feel that Nobu Takahashi seems to have other plans. "

Lu Yao smiled and said, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it at all. When we return to Erlang Mountain, we may know the answer."

Han Hongxun nodded, and said: "That's the only way we can. We won't settle down in Suyu County and wait for Little Japan to make our dumplings!"

After deciding on the next move, Han Hongxun sent a battalion of troops to garrison Suyu County, and the rest of the troops galloped along the east bank of Luoma Lake towards Erlang Mountain.

Before leaving, Ye Tufei told the Battalion Commander Han who stayed behind in Suyu County: "If Little Japan wants to take back Suyu County, then you have to resist it symbolically, and then withdraw."

On the way, Ye Tufei kept urging Yan Xiwen to use the radio to contact Feng Zhongliang, but the radio borrowed from Su Yue couldn't get a signal.

Ye Tufei didn't receive the message from Feng Zhongliang until noon.

Until dawn, Little Japan did not increase its troops in the direction of Erlang Mountain.

Lu Yao also received information from the base of Lingbi Mountain that the Little Japan Regiment heading towards Lingbi Mountain is now stationed at a place more than 30 miles away from Lingbi Mountain, and there is no sign of moving forward.

Combining all the information, Ye Tufei was really confused.

Erlang Mountain now only has Liu Yujie's more than 1000 Royal Association Army. If you want to eat these people, you don't need the main forces of the three parties to mobilize the masses. Then, everyone's actions now become useless.Just when Ye Tufei and others were extremely confused, in Xuzhou City, the newly appointed head of the Hashimoto division was congratulating Yamashita Keigo.

Keigo Yamashita took the opportunity to recommend Nobu Takahashi to the head of the division, Hashimoto: "Your Excellency, the head of the division, Mr. Takahashi has contributed a lot to the successful completion of this fuel transfer task. The entire plan was formulated by Mr. Takahashi, and Yamashita is just an executor. That's all."

The head of the Hashimoto Division smiled and said: "I know the talent of Takahashi-kun, and this time's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain is even more convincing to me. Only Takahashi-kun can figure it out. However, Yamashita-kun, it’s not that I don’t want to use Takahashi-kun, but that General Doihara has made arrangements for Takahashi-kun. He will go to Nanjing soon to take on more important tasks. responsible."
