Chapter 151, did the Soviets provide the weapons?

"Where they came from is anyone's guess, but they must have been there."

Major Noguchi smiled wryly. There are too many people and too many speculations about where the Eighth Route Army tanks and cannons came from.

Some people said that it was provided by the Americans, but it was quickly rejected.

After all, the long coastline is occupied by imperial warships.American ships can't even touch the shore, let alone send tanks and artillery to the Eighth Route Army.

Others say it was provided by the Soviets. After all, the empire fought a war with the Soviet Union.

On the European side, the Soviet Union faced enormous pressure from Germany.The Far East was under imperial pressure again.

If you don't want to be attacked on both sides, then you have to make trouble for the empire.

For the Eighth Route Army's aid in weapons and equipment, it is undoubtedly a method with low cost and high effect.

Since August 20th, the Eighth Route Army has launched a large-scale attack on the imperial army. Who gave them the courage?

It must be the Soviets, who gave them aid and emboldened them.

Moreover, the long border between China and the Soviet Union also facilitated the transportation of weapons.

The Eighth Route Army has the opportunity to obtain a large amount of weapons and equipment, as well as tanks and cannons, through this channel.

"Is it really provided by the Soviets? If so, it would not be surprising.

Ke Tubalu got a lot of weapons and equipment, which would become a serious problem for the empire. "

Major Morita said worriedly.

In the battle of Nuomenkan, the Soviets taught the Kwantung Army a harsh lesson.

The idea of ​​the base camp going north to attack the Soviet Union was shattered, and the strategy became the navy's proposal to go south to Southeast Asia.

In terms of imperial strategy, it is not just the major who needs to be concerned.

But if the Soviets really provided weapons and ammunition for the Eighth Route Army, then those imperial soldiers who are going to fight with the Eighth Route Army will bear the brunt.

The Eighth Route Army is as poor as a beggar, which is already a serious problem.If you get a lot of weapons and equipment, is it okay?

"Morita-kun, there is no need to worry too much."

Major Noguchi explained: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already sent a note to the Soviet ambassador. The Soviets do not admit that they assisted the Eighth Route Army."

"Of course they won't admit to things that cannot be put on the table." Morita said angrily.

Just like they would not admit that the imperial army carried out the Nanjing Massacre in China.

Of course, the Soviets would not admit that they assisted the Eighth Route Army.

"The Soviets still have to take care of the mood of the empire. As long as they don't tear their faces, it is impossible for them to provide large-scale assistance. A few tanks and cannons can't change anything."

Major Noguchi was comforting his companions as well as himself.

The Eighth Route Army will not get a lot of weapons and equipment. For the Imperial Japanese Army, the situation will not become too bad.

It's just that the current situation is worse for them. With tanks and artillery, the Eighth Route Army will aim its guns at whom?
As a sharp knife inserted into the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army, Yushe County must be a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.

Maybe one day the eight roads will call.

This is the hidden worry of Major Noguchi, but he can't ask for reinforcements now, can he?

What would his superiors think of him?

What's more, even if you ask for it, you may not necessarily have it.

The imperial army spread its troops over the vast land like pepper noodles, and the lack of troops led to a major attack by the Eighth Route Army.

Now even if troops are mobilized from various places, it is impossible to say that the troops will be sent to Yushe County immediately.

As the only partner who can discuss, Morita was still drunk all day in a daze.

All the pressure was concentrated in one body, and Major Noguchi felt that the pressure was huge.

"Noguchi-kun, you are worrying too much. We have so many strong bunkers and the most brave and fearless fighters. If Tubalu dares to come, they will have their big teeth broken!"

Major Morita said angrily, but his words were full of confidence.

There are more than 170 people in the teaching brigade, who are elite backbones drawn from the entire brigade.

Many of them have unique skills, and all of them are veterans who can skillfully use the grenade.

There was also an uncle of the brigade leader, and the teaching brigade he led was surprisingly well equipped.

Two Type infantry guns and one mortar.Seventeen grenadiers, plus six Type heavy machine guns, and ten crooked light machine guns.

Know Commando Yamamoto?

The teaching brigade led by Major Morita is an imitation version of Yamamoto's commando.It's just that it focuses more on the enhancement of firepower, far exceeding most infantry squadrons.

Against the Eighth Route Army, it was even more crushing.

Morita is confident that he will use his teaching brigade to defeat the main infantry regiment of the Eighth Route Army face to face.

What's more, there is a strong fortress to hold,

What if the Eighth Route Army had tanks and cannons?
Also let them bleed in the East Mission Fort!

Major Noguchi showed a hint of envy and worry.Morita could say such things, but he couldn't.

Although the st Infantry Squadron under his command was elite, it could not be compared with the Teaching Brigade.

There is also a lot of difference in weaponry.

What's more important is that Yushe County, which he wants to defend, has a larger area than Dongtuanbao.When a battle starts, the troops will be scattered, and the county town will probably not be able to defend it.

He was most proud of the ammunition he had stored for half a year.But now they can't defend the capital, no matter how much ammunition they have in reserve, they will be used by the enemy.

Faced with Noguchi's complaint, Major Morita frowned.He understood that Noguchi just had no idea and wanted to ask him for help.

But the landlord's family didn't have any food left, and if the Eighth Route Army really came to fight, his manpower might not be rich!

Of course he didn't want to borrow someone.

"Noguchi-kun, in my opinion, we can find a way elsewhere."

Morita pondered for a while and said: "There are quite a few planes in Taiyuan, we can call for air support. With air support, eight-way artillery fire, it is difficult for tanks to play a role."

As the defenders at the forefront, both of them have the authority to call for air support through the radio.

Morita's uncle had just died, and even for his uncle's sake, there would be no shortage of planes sent from Taiyuan.

But doesn't Yangquan also have air support?
Yangquan is lost, how can Yushe be possible, because it can be defended with a little aircraft support!
Noguchi expressed his concerns, and Morita immediately proposed a second solution: "Instead of passively waiting, it is better for us to send a force to take the initiative.

Attracting the attention of the Eighth Route Army, they immediately called for support.Such an initiative is in our hands, disrupting the rhythm of the Eighth Route Army. "

Morita's proposal was somewhat selfish, he wanted to avenge his uncle.

Major Noguchi also saw it, but he also realized that Morita's proposal was valuable.

They took the initiative to mop up and provoke. If the Eighth Route Army attacked in anger, it would definitely not be fully prepared, and the success rate of defending the county would be greatly increased.

If the Eighth Route Army doesn't come...it doesn't matter if they don't come, anyway, they are not the ones who suffer.

"If you have no objection, then I will immediately organize troops and go out to sweep and investigate." Morita got up and said, he didn't want to wait for a moment.

Only killing can vent the anger in his heart.

"Morita-kun, why not discuss it in detail."

"No need, there is nothing to discuss. I will take a small team and set off immediately. It won't be too far from our stronghold."

"Morita-kun, who will command the defense of the Eastern Fort after you leave, and when will we send a telegram for help?"

Faced with Noguchi's chatter, Morita was already extremely impatient: "Captain Ono Masatoshi will take over the command, and the rest, you wait for me to telegraph the camera."

After finishing speaking, he strode out of the house with a commanding knife, and said to the guards on the side: "Blow the whistle and gather!"

"Morita-kun, where are you going to raid?" Major Noguchi chased after him.

"Starting from Yingkou Village, all the way to the west."

Major Morita held his command saber and said without looking back.

……

At this time, three people came from Yingkou Village.

One was carrying a dung basket, and seemed to be an old farmer picking up dung.

One is carrying a basket on his back and holding a sickle in his hand, like a day laborer.

There is another one wearing a long gown and carrying a bundle, who seems to be visiting relatives.

That's right, they came to make up for investigation.

The old farmer who picks up dung is played by Li Yunlong. His wrinkled black face has no sense of disobedience at all.

Zhang Dabiao plays Mai Ke. He has a burly physique and looks like a good workman.

Yuan Lang was the one who left relatives.

To attack Yushe County, it is not only necessary to know how many defenders are there, but also to know the specific terrain conditions.

Arranging troops without knowing the terrain is just talking on paper.

Of course it is impossible for Li Yunlong to do such stupid and absurd things.So the old farmer pretending to pick up dung came to investigate in person.

Originally, Zhang Dabiao was only called to assist in the investigation, but later Yuan Lang said that he would scout the artillery positions in advance, so he came.

The three of them split up around Yushe County to carry out investigations, and they got a clear picture of the situation outside Yushe County.

They settled here, and the three of them combined the detected and collected information and made a summary.

Zhang Dabiao first said: "I looked at the West City Gate, the gate over there is larger, and the houses are high and close to the city wall.

It is very convenient for the troops to hide and approach the siege, but the enemy's defense is tight, and the fight must be fierce. "

The buildings near the city gate outside the city are called Chengguan.

The distance between the siege and the city wall is the most feared that there will be a long distance without shelter and barriers.It is simply a target in the eyes of the enemy, and will be shot by the little devil as a rabbit.

With a large number of buildings as cover, the siege troops can reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties.

Li Yunlong kept it in his heart, and talked about what he observed:
"The terrain of Yushe County is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is no gate at the north gate, and there are some small ditches and graves.

Dongmen'er is the road leading to Liao County. The little devil took a close look at it and built two blockhouses here to defend it.

That side is close to the Eastern Mission Fort, all within the range of enemy artillery fire.Unless we take the Eastern Fort first, there is no need to consider attacking the city from the east. "

Yuan Lang nodded in agreement, sending his troops under the enemy's guns, only a fool would do that.

And there is still the risk of being attacked from both sides, so it is even more impossible to fight from here.

According to Li Yunlong's thinking, the two enemies must be fighting at the same time.

It is definitely not advisable to temporarily abandon Yushe County and take Dongtuanbao first.

Thoughts turned around in his mind, Yuan Lang talked about what he saw when he went to the south gate.

"The Japanese army dug an outer ditch outside the south gate, which was three meters deep and five meters wide. The siege troops had to use many ladders to cross the ditch.

There is also a small high ground outside the city wall, where the enemy has set up a post.One shot and that's it.

The rest is nothing.Attacking from the south gate will definitely not have any advantage. "

Yuan Lang made a judgment, and Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao also agreed.

From the current point of view, Dongchengmen is definitely not advisable.The south gate and the north gate are basically at the same level, with little difference.

"At present, I think it is more appropriate to fight from the west gate." Li Yunlong made a judgment based on the existing information.

After a pause, he added: "Let's go to reconnaissance at night and make the final decision."

After all, he didn't go to the West City Gate to see it himself, and he always had some shortcomings in his heart, so he didn't want to jump to conclusions.

Neither Yuan Lang nor Zhang Dabiao had any objections. The more detailed the investigation, the better.

A trivial detail may sacrifice several soldiers.

If it is detected in advance, such unnecessary sacrifices will be reduced.

Li Yunlong said again: "Go to the East Mission Fort to investigate in a while, Yuan Lang, don't go there, you are too eye-catching, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the enemy."

In Dongtuan Village next to Dongtuanbao, there are only thirty or forty families.Yuan Lang said that when he went to visit relatives, it was easy to be seen through.

Besides, he is inexperienced and has a scholarly face, which easily arouses the suspicion of devils.

Yuan Lang didn't hesitate, and agreed without hesitation.Anyway, he has already planned the artillery positions outside Yushe County.

The howitzer has a range of eleven kilometers, covering the Eastern Mission Fort.Artillery support is no problem.

There is actually no need to investigate now.

After taking a sip of water and resting for a while, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao set off one after another.

Only Yuan Lang stayed in the village to rest.

At this moment, he still didn't know that a group of devils set off against the sun, and their target was Dongying Village.
