Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 103 Sun Weimou used his tricks against Watanabe, and he got false information (Subscribe)
In Yangquan City.

The security corps soldiers scattered everywhere are helping the Sichuan Army soldiers repair the fortifications.

They were wearing the new uniforms of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

There was also an expectant smile on his face.

To ensure that Yangquan can gain enough time.

Every street in Yangquan City, and even the vast majority of houses, have been renovated accordingly.

There are several shooting holes hidden in each house.

The second-floor shops along the street have basically been reinforced.

The first floor is a shooting hole, and the second floor is a machine gun firing point.

This is a big project.

If the original Sichuan Army were to do it, it would definitely be too late.

Bao Zhishan, head of the security team.

In the end, he still did not follow his father's arrangements.

Not only did he not leave Yangquan City, he even sold the last few valuable items in his home.

Donate and offer a reward.

As long as you help the Sichuan Army to repair fortifications, you can get a lot of money.

The soldiers of the security corps who had originally planned to flee no longer planned to leave at this time.

Mr. Bao, who is usually the most afraid of death, did not leave.
Bao Zhishan, who had been eating and drinking with them, did not leave either.
Then Yangquan must not be too dangerous.
Otherwise, how could these two men remain so secure in their position?

Could it be that the Japanese artillery shells have eyes, or have you two already become Japanese?

At this time, Bao Zhishan's eyes were still firm, and he followed closely behind the staff officer Sun Weimou.

Introducing the current defense arrangements in Yangquan City: "According to Chief Chu's instructions, we have provided some travel expenses and compensation to those people who are willing to cooperate with us. It's not in vain."

"After our vigorous propaganda, the vast majority of the people know that the Japanese are not good people."

Sun Weimou was naturally very satisfied: "I heard that all this money was paid by Mr. Bao?"

"My father provided the funds, but Commander Yan promised to compensate our Bao family after the war."

"Commander Yan"

Sun Wemou smiled but said nothing.

Chu Yunfei said this more than once.

Yangquan City is the key point of the Niangzi Pass battlefield.
Areas near Yangquan.

It is one of the few plains along the Zhengtai Railway.

This kind of terrain is suitable for the Japanese mechanized troops to perform, but at the same time...
Also suitable for siege warfare
Although Chu Yunfei did not say it explicitly.

But the two combat staff officers, Sun Weimou and Zhang Dayun, are no pushovers either.

I can probably guess the host's intention.

far away.

An ordinary restaurant on the corner.

Just from the location of the shop, this place cannot be considered a good place.

But now, it has become the most lively place in Yangquan City.

The storefront is well made and occupies a large area.

The restaurant was bustling with people.
Not only ordinary people.

There were also many Sichuan troops wearing the uniforms of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
It is very different from the depressed scenes in other streets.

Sun Weimou became interested immediately and stood not far from the door to listen.

"It tastes really good, no wonder our team leader said it was good!"

"Bullshit, there's only one restaurant left, how can I not say anything?"

"I smelled the old Fenjiu from the table next to me..I can never forget the smell..."

"It's a pity that we only have so much money in our hands, so we definitely can't afford it."

"The key is that this boss still has a conscience. He heard that we were fighting to defend Yangquan City... He refused to take any money no matter what!"

"Don't come to this kind of store too often. Talk to your brothers, so as not to disrupt the boss's business..."

"Business? How many people are left in Yangquan City? The business leader said that the commander has issued an order. Starting tomorrow, all the people in the city must be evacuated... no matter if they are willing to leave or not."

Something seems to be wrong.
Sun Wemou frowned.

There was a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Why is this restaurant still open?"

Bao Zhishan smiled and explained, "I talked to their boss and told him that the Japanese were coming, but he didn't want to leave. He said he wanted to make a contribution. Commander Li Wang also gave an order. Today should be their last day of business...so the boss won't take any money."

"During these years, with the chaos and war, the restaurant did not raise its prices and even provided free meals to the defenders in the city." Bao Zhishan praised: "What a good man! If only there were more bosses like him in Yangquan City..."

Sun Weimou interrupted immediately and asked, "Did you say you would provide them with compensation and travel expenses?"

"Of course. Although their business was not very good before, the place is big after all. Their boss is not very old. He said he fled from the Northeast. But the Northeastern dialect sounds a bit awkward. I feel like he speaks more like a Russian from the north..."

Bao Zhiguo then introduced: "Officer Sun, you know, these days, there is only one restaurant willing to stay in the city. If you ask me, the taste of their food is really not very good. I have always felt that it is not very good."

Sun Weimou nodded, then turned around and gave a few instructions.

One of the guards turned and walked away.
Bao Zhishan was stunned for a moment, and at this moment he also realized that something was wrong.

He immediately asked in a low voice: "What does Commander Sun mean?"

"I came to the city this time to help the brigade commander sort out the situation of the wounded soldiers in the city. I can't let my momentary interest delay serious matters."

"I asked him to go to the field hospital to contact Captain Wu and Captain Zhuo first, so I don't have to make another trip..."

Bao Zhishan nodded as if he had suddenly realized something, and said with a smile: "Commander Sun, I think it's time for dinner, do you want to go in and eat something?"

Sun Weimou smiled and said, "Brothers, we are hungry too, so let's go in and have something to eat."

"Well..." Bao Zhishan laughed, "Master Sun, please. Is this your first time eating in Yangquan City?"

“That’s true.”

Sun Weimou looked at the sign hanging high up - Xifeng Tower.

"Then I really need to try it. Commander Sun.. Please!"

Bao Zhishan just stepped into the door.

The waiter's eyes lit up, and he immediately came forward and said, "I was wondering why the magpies in the courtyard were chirping non-stop this morning. It turns out that a distinguished guest has come. Mr. Bao, you didn't even send someone to greet him. You said we should sprinkle clean water on the street and pave the road with yellow soil."

"This is the distinguished guest, this is Staff Officer Sun from the 358th Brigade, Commander Sun."

The waiter hurriedly greeted: "Hey... Mr. Boss, please forgive my poor eyesight... Please don't blame me."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, go upstairs to the private room, and bring up all the store signs."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The waiter took a deep breath and said loudly: "Dear guests~~~! Here, private room, four people~!!"

A powerful sentence of "Mingtang" dispelled many of Sun Wemou's doubts.

It would take more than ten years of practice to master this skill.

"My dear soldiers, please go to Room No. 1, please..."

The decoration style of the whole room is indeed quite particular.

The tables, chairs and benches are antique and seem to be made of top-grade pear wood.

Take a quick look.

Although the room is not very big, there are quite a few green plants, which must have cost a lot of money.

Sun Weimou took a quick look and couldn't help but praise, "Not bad, waiter, bring more good dishes."

"Yes, dear guests, please wait a moment."

After serving the tea, the waiter slowly stepped back and closed the door.

"Captain Sun, there are more and more wounded soldiers in the city. What is the situation on the front line now?"

Sun Weimou smiled and said loudly: "Brother, you can rest assured. The current defense line is as solid as a rock. Moreover, the main forces of our Central Army, Tang Enbo's troops, and the main forces of the Sichuan Army are on their way to the Niangzi Pass front. When the reinforcements arrive, we will pretend to be defeated and retreat to attract the Japanese army to actively attack Yangquan City."

Bao Zhishan was a little worried, and immediately asked back: "But I heard that these little devils have planes and cannons. Although there are many new bunkers built in Yangquan City, can they really defend it?"

"In order to fight this battle well, Commander Yan, at the suggestion of our brigade commander, transferred back two artillery regiments from the front line. In addition, the front line itself is equipped with more than 100 artillery pieces of various types. It can be said that our artillery is not much worse than that of the Japanese."

"In the Yangquan area, the Sichuan Army alone has 7,000 to 8,000 combat troops, not counting your security team."

"Let's not count our security team. Many of them carry guns all day long, but they haven't fired a single shot yet." Bao Zhishan smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Bao, you don't have to worry too much. As long as these little devils don't break through Yangquan City within three days, the 27th Army, which is the main force of this encirclement and annihilation operation, Feng Jingye, Commander Feng."

"Commander Feng? Who is that?"

Due to the relatively closed information situation, the head of the security team didn't even know Feng Qinzhai's name.

"The deputy commander-in-chief of the First War Zone, the 169th Division and the 42nd Division under his command are the elite main forces of the Central Army."

"The main defensive force now is the 17th Division of the Shaanxi Army. They don't get along with Commander Yan and the Chairman. Their combat effectiveness is not high, but they still fought against the Japanese like this. Think about the main force under Commander Feng. Wouldn't it be easy for them to fight against the Japanese?"

Sun Weimou said confidently: "When the offensive is launched, the siege of Yangquan can be lifted with the cooperation of the main forces of the Sichuan Army. We may even be able to wipe out these fearless devils!"

"Great! After the Japanese capture the Niangzi Pass, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, they will definitely be extremely vigilant. They will definitely not think too much and will definitely continue to attack Yangquan."

After Bao Zhishan finished praising him, he then asked, "Commander Sun, could it be that Commander Chu had drawn up such a brilliant battle plan?"

Sun Weimou nodded and said seriously, "Of course, the commander is General Yan's personal attendant. Otherwise, what do you think General Yan came to Yangquan for the past two days?"

"Is it really to deliver equipment to these Sichuan troops?"

Seeing Bao Zhishan's face full of shock and confusion, Sun Weimou continued to lower his voice: "There is a traitor in the headquarters of the Second War Zone Commander. Commander Yan is using the enemy's tactics to cover up this encirclement and annihilation operation."

"This, Commander Yan..."

Sun Weimou leaned back slightly, with a matter-of-fact look on his face: "In Shanxi, Commander Yan still has the final say, let's wait and see."

"Yes!"

The waiter knocked on the door and walked into the private room with the dishes.
And then he introduced with a smile: "Commander Sun is from Shanxi?"

"That's natural..."

"You should try this braised pork slices. Our chef is from Northeast China. He added some techniques to this dish. It is slightly different from the Shanxi cuisine you usually eat."

Yangquan City Defense Command.

That is the headquarters of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army.

At this time, Division Commander Wang Mingzhang was discussing the specific troop deployment outside Yangquan City with Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin.

The guard walked in quickly and gave a brief report of the situation.

It was said that a group of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops had arrived from outside, from the guard company of the 358th Brigade.

I have something important to discuss with Wang Mingzhang.

The guard squad has verified his identity and found that there is indeed such a person in the 358th Brigade Guard Company.

After listening to this, Wang Mingzhang immediately nodded in agreement: "Please ask him to come in."

"Yes!"

"My two sirs, Staff Officer Sun was ordered by Commander Chu to visit the wounded at the field hospital. When passing by a restaurant, he noticed something unusual and sent me to investigate."

"Tavern?"

Commander Wang Mingzhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are there any restaurants in the city now?"

"It seems that there is such a thing. There is such a restaurant. The old owner has lived here for most of his life. He doesn't want to leave, so he simply stays in Yangquan City to entertain the troops. The local people who don't want to leave also have a thought and a goal to pursue."

"What does Staff Officer Sun mean by this?"

"Staff Officer Sun suspects that this is the enemy's contact point..."

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang smiled and said, "Staff Officer Sun must be overthinking. It's hard to leave your homeland. I'm sure we can all understand this emotion."

Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin frowned slightly and reminded in a low voice: "Master, we can't rule out the possibility that there may be something wrong with this place. After all, they are businessmen."

"Well, let Captain Su take someone to investigate. If there is any problem... just kill them."

"Commander Sun, the staff officer, suggested that you wait until after tonight before taking action..."

"why?"

The guard shook his head: "Staff Officer Sun didn't say."

Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "Could it be that Staff Officer Sun wants to take advantage of the situation and give the Japanese a false intelligence?"

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang smiled and said, "It's not impossible. You staff officers are very smart."

"Well, go talk to Staff Officer Sun and ask him to come to my division headquarters today. This matter concerns the defense of Yangquan City and cannot be neglected."

the other side.

West Wind Tower.

In a compartment inside the restaurant.

Watanabe Takeshi (Chapter 74, the Japanese intelligence lieutenant lurking in Yangquan City) has compiled the information he overheard.

[The main forces of the Chinese army, Tang's army and the Sichuan army, are heading to the Yangquan area. After arriving, they will feign defeat at the front line to lure the enemy deeper.
In the Yangquan area, the main force of the 27th Army, Tang's Central Army and the Sichuan Army were deployed to join forces from inside and outside to encircle and annihilate the main force.

Although many key places were unclear because of Sun Weimou's silence.

What resulted in Watanabe Takeshi receiving was a less detailed battle plan.

It is because this battle plan is not detailed enough.

To the extent that Watanabe Takeshi had a high degree of trust in the intelligence he obtained.

It is his job to obtain intelligence, while verifying the intelligence will be left to other talents in the Special High Technology Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

What's more.

The movement of the main force of Tang’s army should not be hidden from the eyes of the reconnaissance aircraft.

Watanabe Takeshi was very excited.

Just stay in Yangquan City and obtain information about Yangquan City’s defensive forces.

It is already a great achievement.

This time, it was a complete surprise.
If this is true, he can even be promoted to the rank of major based on this achievement.
Just as Watanabe Yizhi was grinning.

The waiter named Qin pushed the door open and stepped forward.

Watanabe Takeshi was the first to ask, "Did they leave?"

The waiter nodded and reported other information: "Watanabe-kun, I have confirmed that none of them are drinking. They must be busy with military duties.

I heard their conversation, and the purpose of this trip seemed to be to transfer the wounded soldiers in the city.
I think Yangquan City will become one of the decisive battle sites on the Niangzi Pass front."
