Chapter 131: Laiyuan Town, Qi County
"Damn it, you learned this from the leader of the group. You are so bold!"
"It would be a bit too bold to attack the Japanese railway station with the troops in our hands? Isn't it too bold? Once there are a large number of Japanese soldiers in the railway station, we will be in great trouble. Besides, the attack on the Japanese railway station by our 386th Brigade will inevitably lead to the Japanese's alertness becoming more severe. It is not that simple to attack the Japanese railway station." Zhang Dabiao took a deep breath and looked at Liu Gen with shock.
Zhang Dabiao didn't expect Liu Gen to have such an idea. Now the total number of soldiers in the first battalion and the soldiers of the artillery company is less than 300. With this force, he attacked the Japanese railway station. Once he was entangled by the Japanese, he could not get out of it, then the three hundred soldiers might fall into the encirclement of the Japanese and eat them directly by the Japanese. Originally, the Japanese were attacked by the 386th Brigade of the Baijin Railway, and their nerves became extremely sensitive. Liu Gen was doing this, wouldn't it be dancing on the tip of the knife?
"Brother Zhang, the matter is not that serious. We can first go to the near the Japanese Railway Station and observe the Japanese defense before making a decision!" Looking at Zhang Dabiao, Liu Gen spoke again.
Zhang Dabiao fell silent. He was thinking about the feasibility of this combat plan. Now most of the Japanese troops are concentrated at Nanguan Railway Station. He should not choose to evacuate in a short period of time to avoid the 386th Brigade's repeated attack. In this way, it seems to be a good choice to attack other Japanese railway stations. The Japanese do not have so many troops to defend each station.
After a while, Zhang Dabiao made a decision in his mind, "First, just attack the Japanese railway station, it's too dangerous. With the existence of a railway, the Japanese support speed is very fast. In addition, after being attacked by our 386th Brigade, these Japanese will inevitably strengthen their defense. With the accuracy of the Japanese shooting, it may take a lot of time for us to easily capture a Japanese railway station."
"However, after your reminder, I found a target, which is a squadron of the Japanese stationed in Laiyuan Town, Qi County, where there should be enough supplies."
"As far as I know, we can consider attacking them with the Japanese in Laiyuan Town, as well as many puppet troops!" Zhang Dabiao looked at Liu Gen and said in a deep voice.
The Japanese squadron stationed in Laiyuan Town, Qi County knew that Nanguan Railway Station was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, would definitely come to rescue him. There should not be too many Japanese and puppet troops staying in Laiyuan Town. In addition, Laiyuan Town is located in a key area ruled by the Japanese. The Eighth Route Army has fewer activities, so there will definitely not be too many Japanese left. As long as Liu Gen and others act fast enough, it will not be difficult to take Yuanzhen down.
Zhang Dabiao knew that there were many strong men in Laiyuan Town who were forcibly mobilized by the Japanese army. If they were taken down from Yuan Town, these strong men might be able to supplement the lack of troops in the independent regiment. Even if these people did not choose to join the independent regiment and rescued them from the Japanese, it would undoubtedly be quite good.
"Laiyuan Town, Qi County?" Liu Gen thought in his mind. Nanguan Railway Station is not far from Laiyuan Town. If you march in a hurry, one night will be enough to arrive in Laiyuan Town. As long as you make sure that the defense of the Laiyuan Town Japanese is weakened, it is possible to take Yuanzhen down.
The most important thing is that the Nakamura squadron with the Japanese was stationed, so there must be a lot of ammunition and medicine resources, which is what the independent regiment needs the most.
"Okay! Laiyuan Town is good, it's a certain distance from Nanguan Railway Station. The Japanese would definitely not have thought that we would attack Laiyuan Town!" Looking at Zhang Dabiao, Liu Gen said in a deep voice.
Whether it is attacking the Japanese train station or attacking Laiyuan Town in Qi County, it means adventure. So it is better to attack Laiyuan Town, which will bring greater gains. The Japanese should not have thought that Liu Gen and others would have such courage to attack Laiyuan Town with less than 300 people! Zhang Dabiao took out the corresponding combat map, and Liu Gen was more sure that attacking Laiyuan Town was the best choice.
Liu Gen could see that Laiyuan Town is the main throat road from Jinzhong to Changzhi. It is located in the mountainous area and belongs to the mountainous township. There are mountains on both sides of Laiyuan Town, which means that Liu Gen and others chose to attack Laiyuan Town, which can attack and retreat or defend. As long as they retreat into the mountainous area, it will be very difficult for the Japanese to pursue it. After carefully observing the relevant situation of Laiyuan Town on the map, Liu Gen was a little helpless. The information on the map was still too little and there was no more things to see.
"Brother Zhang! Let's set off! Arrive in Laiyuan Town as soon as possible, and we can launch an attack as soon as possible. I hope that the Japanese Zhongcun Squadron stationed in Laiyuan Town will withdraw their troops to support Nanguan Railway Station," Liu Gen said in a deep voice.
Zhang Dabiao nodded. He also hoped that such a thing would happen. Once the Zhongcun Squadron had support, it would be much easier for Liu Gen and others to take Yuanzhen down. No longer hesitated, Zhang Dabiao ordered the soldiers to head towards Laiyuanzhen. Along the way, the soldiers maintained a relatively fast speed. The artillery company soldiers who were pushing the Type 92 infantry artillery also gritted their teeth and persevered, trying to keep up with the team.
Every two hours, Zhang Dabiao would let the soldiers rest for twenty minutes. If they wanted to take the far town, the soldiers would have to race against time. No one knew what the situation was in the Nakamura Squadron. It was also that none of the wounded soldiers were in the team, otherwise the speed would definitely not be raised. If the soldiers kept moving forward at a fast enough speed, the soldiers would be under a lot of pressure.
On the road, many soldiers were too tired to keep up with the team's speed. Liu Gen could only let other soldiers support each other forward.
Five hours later, Liu Gen came to Zhang Dabiao, "Brother Zhang, you can't move forward like this quickly, and the soldiers are a little unbearable."
"I know! It's better to do this. Genzi, you will take those soldiers who cannot move forward quickly, and I will take some soldiers who can still support them to move forward quickly, and rush to Layuan Town in advance to find out the situation!" Zhang Dabiao looked at Liu Gen and said.
Liu Gen was silent. He knew that Zhang Dabiao's decision was the most correct decision. If he wanted to attack Laiyuan Town, it was very necessary to determine the specific situation of Laiyuan Town. Zhang Dabiao brought some soldiers to come and could also find out the specific situation of Laiyuan Town earlier. When Liu Gen arrived with other soldiers, he would directly launch an attack on Laiyuan Town!
"Okay! Brother Zhang, be careful. You must wait until I bring the soldiers here before launching an attack!" Liu Gen said, looking at Zhang Dabiao.
Zhang Dabiao nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, without you as an artilleryman, I wouldn't have launched an attack easily!"
Seeing Zhang Dabiao leaving with some soldiers first, Liu Gen looked at the tired soldiers around him and simply asked the soldiers to stop and rest for a while. Keeping a rush for a long time made the soldiers very tired. Even after Li Yunlong arrived, the soldiers could eat enough every day, but their physical fitness was not improved in a short period of time.
Liu Gen was a little relieved that no warrior called for his hard work, and no warrior wanted to give up!
