Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Chapter 30: The Japanese attack the 358th Regiment, Li Yunlong's plan to reap the benefits
"Hey!" Watanabe Renta nodded again and said, "So, should we directly distribute all the fertilizer powder to Xu Yang to save the trouble of transfer?"

“No, no, no.” Hikawa Okazaka shook his head: “It doesn’t matter who sells the Feitian powder, as long as it is sold.

Xu Yang is capable, so it's understandable that he makes more profit. As for Jia Renyi, Gou Dachang and others, they are incompetent and deserve to lose money.

Moreover, because our Feitian powder sells well, I have been commended by the regiment headquarters and even the brigade headquarters.

All this is because of Xu Sang.

Such rare talents should be rewarded, so for now we will just pretend we don’t know about it.”

After a pause, Hikawa Okazaka seemed to have thought of something and gave another instruction: "Oh, by the way, the regiment headquarters just sent an order to attack Cangyun Town early tomorrow morning.

Go and convey the order to the Imperial Army at each stronghold, and have them prepare to set out from the Blackwater River stronghold at 6 a.m. on time."

"Hi!" Watanabe Renta bowed his head again...

After returning from Heiyun Village.

The commander of the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army, Kasahara Koizumi, became more and more angry as he thought about it, and then he began to investigate all the information about the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, and formulated a combat plan to attack Cangyun Town.

The Hikawa Squadron belonged to the 22nd Battalion of the nd Infantry Regiment, so it also received combat orders.

……

Liuzhuang stronghold.

Second squad leader Ma Tong hurried in from outside and reported to Xu Yang, who was sitting cross-legged and sipping tea, "Captain, just now someone from Hikawa Okazaka came to inform us to prepare for battle, take care of the matters at the base, and gather at the Blackwater River base at 6 a.m. tomorrow."

Xu Yang was stunned: "There is a combat mission? Are the Japanese going to launch another rural cleanup operation against the Eighth Route Army base?"

Ma Tong: "No, this time it seems to be against the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

Xu Yang: "It's interesting that the Japanese are going to attack the 358th Regiment."

……

That night, Xu Yang conveyed the news to Li Yunlong through the radio and told him to participate in the battle as much as possible. This was not to help Chu Yunfei, but to allow the independent regiment to take advantage of the situation and eliminate the Japanese's effective forces at the same time, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Independent regiment headquarters.

The company commanders of each battalion who received the order arrived one after another.

As soon as the Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan entered the conference room, he asked the First Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao who arrived first, "First Battalion Commander, do you know why the regiment commander called us here overnight? Is it an emergency combat mission?"

Although the regiment commander Li Yunlong had just been airdropped to the independent regiment not long ago, he led the independent regiment to fight several successful battles in succession. First, he annihilated the cavalry battalion of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army in Wanjia Town, and then annihilated the Yamazaki Battalion of the Japanese in Lijiaopo. Two days ago, he also destroyed Heiyun Village and obtained countless money and food and a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

This made Shen Quan full of confidence in the upcoming battle.

Zhang Dabiao shook his head: "I just arrived at the regiment headquarters."

Soon, the rest of the people arrived one after another. The first question they asked when they entered the door was about the content of the meeting, and the results they got were naturally the same.

After waiting for a while, footsteps were heard from outside the door. Everyone immediately stopped talking and stood up to salute: "Captain, Political Commissar, Deputy Commander."

"sit!"

Li Yunlong came to the conference table, and after everyone sat down, he got straight to the point: "I called you here so late because I just received a secret intelligence that tomorrow morning, the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army will launch an attack on the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army stationed in Cangyun Town. What do you think?"

Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao was the first to speak: "The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is nominally our friendly army, but in fact they don't consider our Eighth Route Army as their own.

Not to mention the distant past, let’s just talk about the last battle of Cangyun Ridge. The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army was stationed in Cangyun Town, a few kilometers away. But it was as if they had colluded with the Japanese and watched us trapped in the siege without sending any troops to reinforce us. They didn’t even harass the Japanese from behind to create any chances for us to attack.

If we hadn't been lucky enough to discover the Sakata Regiment's headquarters and destroy it, we would have disrupted the Japanese command system.

We might be wiped out.

Therefore, this time, let the 358th Regiment also have a taste of being besieged by the devils and being isolated and helpless. "

"I agree with the proposal of the first battalion commander." Sun Desheng spoke up immediately. He and Zhang Dabiao were both veterans of the new first regiment, so they both had great prejudice and hostility towards the 358th Regiment for not helping the dying people.

The other battalion and company commanders of the independent regiment also had great prejudices against Yan Laoxi's Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Naturally, they supported the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao and let the Japanese and the 358th Regiment fight each other.

Li Yunlong just watched quietly, and when everyone finished talking, he looked at Zhao Gang next to him and said, "Old Zhao, what's your opinion?"

Zhao Gang had a broad perspective, and he said seriously: "Although the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has different beliefs from us, we all have a common goal and ideal, which is to drive out the Japanese invaders and recover our country!

Until this goal is achieved, at least our goals are the same.

Therefore, if we allow the Japanese to severely damage or even destroy the 358th Regiment, in the end, it will be our Chinese national defense that will be lost. Besides, you should all understand the principle that the lips and teeth are cold. "

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Sun Desheng thought about the battle of Cangyun Ridge and became more and more angry. He stiffened his neck and said, "Political Commissar, I understand all the reasons you said, but the 358th Regiment watched us die without helping us, and now they want us to help them. I, Sun Desheng, just can't accept it!"

Although the others did not speak, judging from their expressions, what they were thinking was basically the same as Sun Desheng.

Zhao Gang did not want to lose China's national defense strength, but he also had to take into account the thoughts of the independent regiment cadres.

He thought for a moment and said, "We don't have to send troops to reinforce them. It's also okay to convey this message to them and let them prepare in advance."

After that, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong again: "Old Li, what do you think?"

Li Yunlong: "My opinion is of course not to tell the 358th Regiment this news, but to send troops directly to reinforce and give the 358th Regiment and the devils a big surprise."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Li Yunlong went on to explain: "First of all, the 358th Regiment may not believe what we say, and even if they do, it will not do us any good.

And don't forget, the Japanese spies are everywhere, and there must be some lurking inside the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. We can't tell the 358th Regiment this news directly. The supplies will be reported to Yan Laoxi through the brigade headquarters, and then Yan Laoxi will convey it to the 358th Regiment.

Taking such a long detour is not only troublesome and of no benefit to us, but there is also the risk of the news leaking out.

Once the Japanese notice this, they will definitely change their battle plan.

There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. In this case, we might as well take advantage of their tricks and use the 358th Regiment as bait to see what the Japanese are up to. "

Sun Desheng wanted to speak, but was glared at by Li Yunlong: "Sun Desheng, I know what you are going to say. I am not doing this to assist the 358th Regiment, but to make extra money!
The 358th Regiment watched me die without helping me. I will always remember this grudge. How could I let them take advantage of me? "
