Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

On the other side, Zhou Daye heard Shen Quan's call and responded, "I'm Zhou Daye. Old Shen, is the battle over there? I heard the gunfire over there seems to have stopped."

"it's over!"

"Caught a big fish? How big is it?"

"He was caught. He said his name was Matsui Ishizora. Have you heard of this name? It sounds familiar to me. Where have I heard it before?"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, followed by heavy breathing.

Even through the walkie-talkie, Shen Quan could feel his instructor's rapid breathing.

"Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou?"

"Shen Quan, Matsui Ishigen, is that the old devil Matsui Ishigen? Are you sure it's Matsui Ishigen?"

"Confirmed, this old devil said his name is Matsui Ishigen!"

Then Shen Quan kicked him and said, "Old devil, are you called Matsui Ishigeng?"

"Baga, I'm Matsui Ishigen. Is this how you treat prisoners of war?"

Hearing Matsui Ishigeng's voice, Zhou Daye immediately said, "This is the Japanese general, the former commander of the Central China Expeditionary Force. He was in command of the Battle of Shanghai, and he also gave the order to Nanjing!"

After hearing this, Shen Quan's eyes immediately turned red. All the officers and soldiers of the independent column knew that Li Yunlong would not leave any Japanese alive because the Japanese killed more than 300,000 people in Nanjing.

Therefore, no Japanese soldier who had been to Jinling would show mercy. However, Shen Quan had already stayed in Mount Wutai at that time, and he was not sure who the Japanese soldier in Jinling was. He just heard someone tell him about this.

He didn't expect that the person he captured was actually the Japanese commander in Nanjing.

"Old Shen, Old Shen, this is a really big fish! If the Japanese knew that we had captured Matsui Ishigaki, they would definitely go crazy. No, not crazy, they would definitely try every possible way to take revenge!"

Zhou Daye's words instantly calmed Shen Quan down. Shen Quan breathed rapidly, trying hard to calm himself down.

"Old Zhou, I'll be responsible for drawing the enemy's firepower. I'll immediately send someone to bring Matsui Ishige to you. You'll immediately take someone to bring Matsui Ishige to the commander!"

Shen Quan was extremely calm at this time. He looked at the distant sky and saw that a plane had appeared. The sky was now getting dark, and the fact that the Japanese plane was taking off was enough to explain everything.

"Let me attract..."

"Old Zhou, listen to me on military matters. I'll arrange for someone to send Matsui Ishigen over right now. You must immediately take your men into the base and send Matsui Ishigen to the commander as quickly as possible. There are Japanese planes here, and we can't hide the fact that Matsui Ishigen has been captured. I predict the Japanese will soon attack our Wutai Mountain base like crazy!"

After hearing Shen Quan's words, Zhou Daye said nothing more: "Okay, let's do as you say. I will only take 100 people, and the rest will be left to you. I will also send a telegram to the commander immediately and ask him to send someone to pick us up!"

"it is good!"

After a brief exchange with Zhou Daye, Shen Quan hung up the walkie-talkie, then took out a rope and tied up Matsui Ishige.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him who wanted to eat Matsui Ishigen alive, Shen Quan shouted: "Comrades, I know you all want to kill this old devil and avenge your compatriots, but it would be too easy for him to die like this. He must be made to atone for the crimes he committed!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yuanshan and Ma Weiguo and said, "It was you two who captured Song Jingshigeng. You two will follow the troops and take Song Jingshigeng to find the instructor. You must deliver these two old devils alive to the commander. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"By the way, give me this old devil's watch!"

After seeing the watch on Matsui Ishigeng's wrist, Shen Quan patted his head and thought that he needed a watch that was accurate.

"Yes!"

After taking off their watches, the two men did not delay and, under the escort of a group of soldiers, took Matsui Ishige and rushed to where Zhou Daye was.

After Matsui Ishigen was sent away, Shen Quan quickly calmed down.

"what time is it?"

"Report six forty!"

Hearing this, Shen Quan glanced around and said, "Clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat!"

"Yes!"

Shen Quan knew that their mission now was to attract the Japanese's attention and let Zhou Daye take his men to transfer Matsui Ishigeng out. So Shen Quan felt that he should not retreat quickly now, but instead attract the Japanese's attention here and transfer them in the opposite direction.

"Old Zhou, remember to leave Matsui Ishigeng's uniform behind, and just take your official sword!"

Shen Quan calmed down and began to think, putting himself in Li Yunlong's position and wondering what the commander would do if he were here.

The first thing that came to mind was to take off Matsui Ishige's clothes, and then during the transfer process, some items were accidentally dropped.

These items will be found by the Japanese, and then they will continue to chase us like crazy.

As Shen Quan was thinking, he took out a notebook and wrote down his thoughts.

"No, the commander will never let the Japanese chase him around. Instead, he will find a way to bite them hard. Just like when the Japanese winter mop-up, other troops retreated into the mountains, but the commander did the opposite, sneak attacked Taiyuan, and captured the commander of the Japanese First Army!"

"Map, give me the map!"

Shen Quan suddenly became excited and suddenly felt that he had fought in a silly way before. He should fight like a commander, not being bitten by the enemy, but using his own advantages to lead the enemy into his own rhythm, instead of following the enemy's rhythm.

If the enemy is chasing you, is there no other way but to run? You have to find a way to escape, then surprise them and deliver a fatal blow. Continuously launch attacks from unexpected locations and hit their weak points.

Shen Quan suddenly understood why the commander wanted to read more books, such as those on protracted warfare, guerrilla warfare, Sun Tzu's Art of War, etc.

"I see!"

A famous battle suddenly appeared in Shen Quan’s mind, Chishui, Chishui!

The situation he was facing now was similar to that in Chishui. The Japs would definitely chase him like crazy.

If we keep going into the mountains, sooner or later there will be large-scale casualties due to various problems such as terrain and food supply.

If you don't go into the mountains.

Shen Quan looked at several cities around him.

Datong!

Datong is the closest to me, and it must be the first place where the Japanese gather. In order to save Matsui Ishige, the Japanese in Datong might come out in full force. By then, I might...

It’s not that they might come out in full force, but they will definitely come out!

Thinking of this, Shen Quan's eyes became hot.

"Commander, they are truly a genius!"

Shen Quan muttered to himself, and a crazy plan appeared in Shen Quan's notebook.

There are no place names, only a few signs, but various lines are drawn on the signs. Only Shen Quan himself knows what they mean. Even if they are accidentally lost and picked up by the Japanese, the Japanese will not find any clues.

Chapter 294 It’s over, it’s all over

Half an hour ago, at the Mengjiang Garrison Headquarters in Zhangjiakou.

"Report, telegram from the First Battalion: The train escorting General Matsui was attacked by the Eighth Route Army in Datong!"

Shigetaro Amakasu and Shigeki Takahashi, who had originally breathed a sigh of relief at seeing off Matsui Ishizuru, were drinking at this time.

Although Matsui Ishige was very disrespectful and did not attend the welcoming banquet, he did not conduct an in-depth investigation into the Datong matter, which was good news for the two.

"General Matsui was attacked?"

Shigetaro Amakasu's hand holding the wine glass was a little unsteady, and the glass almost fell.

Takahashi Shigeki also put down his chopsticks: "How is it going?"

"Ha Yi, generals, please rest assured. The 26th Division from Datong has sent an additional train to explore the route and an additional train to escort the troops. The train that was attacked was the exploration train."

Hearing these words, Shigetaro Amakasu and Shigeki Takahashi breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the signalman who delivered the telegram. This bastard was breathing heavily while speaking and almost scared them to death.

Since it was a reconnaissance train that was attacked, General Matsui Ishige's safety was definitely not a problem, and he finally felt relieved.

"These damn guerrillas, can't they wait for the general's train to leave Datong before attacking?"

Datong now belongs to the Chahar region and is under the jurisdiction of the Mengjiang Garrison Army. Datong to the south of Shuozhou is the area of ​​Shanxi Province and is under the jurisdiction of the First Army. The attack there is the business of the First Army and has nothing to do with the Mengjiang Garrison Army.

"The Eighth Route Army guerrillas have been advancing too rapidly in our defense zone recently. Takahashi-kun, should we conduct a large-scale sweep?"

Amakasu Shigetaro thought for a moment and then slowly asked.

"We don't have many troops to mobilize. If we want to conduct a mop-up operation, we'll need to request assistance from headquarters."

Thinking of the need to ask for help from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, both of them fell silent again. For the Japanese, asking for help meant that they were not capable enough.

"What if we add the Imperial Army? Then we can draw a cavalry brigade and add..."

The two men racked their brains to think about how to draw a troop from various places to launch a sweep of the Wutai Mountain area.

At this moment, a signalman rushed into the room with a panicked look on his face, breathlessly saying, "Report, a telegram from the First Battalion: The train escorting General Matsui has been attacked!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shigetaro Amakasu and Shigeki Takahashi, who were discussing how many troops could be mobilized to launch a sweep of Mount Wutai, suddenly stood up.

"General Matsui was attacked. What's the situation?"

Takahashi Shigekiyoshi asked urgently.

"We don't know yet."

Shigetaro Amakasu looked a little unhappy. Not only was the exploratory train attacked, but General Matsui Ishige's train was also attacked. If General Matsui Ishige sent a telegram to the headquarters to impeach him, his position as the commander of the Mongolian Garrison Army would probably be in jeopardy.

You have to know that the last time Datong was captured, he had been reprimanded by Tianhuang. If the Kwantung Army had not stepped forward to protect him, he might have been transferred back to the base camp.

In order to keep this position, Shigetaro Amakasu and Shigeki Takahashi spent a lot of money to build relationships.

"Immediately mobilize troops to support General Matsui. Order the 26th Division to dispatch the Cavalry Regiment for immediate support! Order the nearby airport to immediately send out reconnaissance aircraft to investigate the situation!"

"General, it's getting dark now. If the reconnaissance plane takes off..."

"Fly, we must take off no matter what. We want General Matsui to see our attitude!"

"Hayi!"

After Shigetaro Amakasu and Shigeki Takahashi gave the order to send troops, they felt a little relieved. The military train that General Matsui Ishisuke was riding in was protected by two battalions of troops in front and behind. The attack location was not far from Datong, and the cavalry regiment could arrive in about an hour.

Moreover, the attackers were guerrillas from the Eighth Route Army, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to hold out for an hour.

However, after this incident, both of them lost the desire to continue drinking. They looked at each other, signaled the confidential secretary to remove all the food and wine, and prepared to concentrate on dealing with the matter. At the same time, they were secretly praying in their hearts that nothing would happen to Matsui Ishigeng, and that nothing would happen on their own territory.

More than ten minutes later, a communications soldier once again rushed into the headquarters in panic.

"Report, report, the train General Matsui Ishige is on has called. They've been attacked by the main force of the Chinese army. Some of the train's carriages have been captured, and they're abandoning some of them. They're rendezvousing with the scout train!"

Shigetaro Amakasu snatched the telegram and after reading it, he felt like the sky was falling.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

On the contrary, Takahashi Shigekiyoshi was much calmer at this time: "How many troops does the enemy have?"
