Chapter 118 Cannons

"Huhuhu..."

The 36th Regiment led by Jiro Wakita finally arrived at Sunweizi in the evening, and the soldiers were extremely exhausted.

Sun Weizi is less than fifty miles away from Xiao County. If we speed up our march, we can arrive there in half a day.

At this time, all the people in the village had fled. The tired little devils found a house and got into it and began to fall asleep.

"Hurry up and set up the radio. I want to send a telegram to the Major General."

Wakisaka Jiro was also very tired, but he was still holding on to his body.

The communication soldiers used their strength to prop up the radio station. Jiro Wakita reported the location of the 36th Regiment to Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki of the advance detachment, and made it clear that he would launch an attack on Xiao County at noon tomorrow.

After sending the telegram, Wakiitajiro pointed to a staff officer and said:

"Hurry up and arrange sentries to let the warriors have a good rest. We will start a battle with that guy tomorrow."

"Hey, Colonel, please rest early!"

It was just getting dark, and all the little devils in Sunweizi lay down, and the sound of snoring could be heard in the village.

On a hill more than 300 meters away from the village, three pairs of eyes have been staring at the little devils of the 36th Regiment.

"Captain, there must be at least a team of two little Japs below!" Zhao Erniu said angrily.

The three people on the hill are Chen Zhengyue, Zhao Erniu and Deng Dahai. They are carrying out the investigation mission assigned by Jiangdong.

After the Wanbei Independent Brigade arrived in Xiao County, Jiangdong released all the hunter squadrons, and the main investigation directions were south and west.

After Chen Zhengyue and the others came out of Xiao County, they had been conducting reconnaissance in the southwest direction, and happened to run into the 36th Regiment of the Japanese Army, which was desperately rushing forward.

After they discovered this Japanese army, they did not go further south, but followed the little devils to Sunweizi.

"There shouldn't be two brigades, I think one and a half at most." Chen Zhengyue observed the road for several miles and was very sure that this group of little devils would not exceed 2,000 people.

The advance detachment of the Japanese army was not fully equipped, and the 36th Regiment was naturally only half-assed, with a total strength of less than 1,800.

"I saw the antenna. There is a big fish among this team of little devils!" Zhao Erniu said eagerly.

"At least there is a Lieutenant Colonel!" Chen Zhengyue said while thinking.

Deng Dahai, who was next to the two, said nothing. He returned to the team relatively late and missed a lot of training under Jiang Dong's personal guidance. At the moment, he was just listening to the discussion between the two quietly.

The reason why Chen Zhengyue asked Deng Dahai to join his team was because he wanted to train Deng Dahai personally. After all, there were only three of them out of the five brothers in the original sniper team. Chen Zhengyue felt that he had an obligation to help Deng Dahai make up for his mistakes.

Make up for the training.

After a long time, Chen Zhengyue spoke again,

"The little devil looks very tired now. We need to report this information to the brigade commander in time. Based on my understanding of the brigade commander, there is a high probability that this little devil will not survive tomorrow!"

"Hehehehehe..." Zhao Erniu lay aside and said hehehezhile. Since he followed the brigade commander and captain, he had to win a battle almost every month, and he was somewhat used to it.

A trace of shock flashed across Deng Dahai's face, but the surroundings were dark and no one noticed.

"Er Niu." Chen Zhengyue didn't waste any more time. "You immediately return the way you came and report the situation here to the brigade commander truthfully. Remember, you must do it as fast as you can." He looked at the silent man next to him again.

Deng Dahai,

"Brother Deng and I will continue to investigate to the south to see where the Japanese army is? No matter what the brigade commander decides, you must come back here and wait for us!"

"Yes!" Zhao Erniu put away his playful smile, "I will rush to Xiao County as quickly as possible and then come back here!"

The three heads took one last look at the sleeping Sun Weizi, and then quietly disappeared behind the hill.

.

A few hours later, Xiao County.

"Brigadier, we can see clearly that there are no more than 2,000 Japs at most, and they are all as tired as dead dogs!"

Zhao Erniu reported everything they detected to Jiang Dong.

Jiang Dong's fingers kept moving on the map, and his mind was running rapidly.

"How far can Zhu Ergou's 150mm cannon hit?"

"Eighteen kilometers!" Xie Chengrui on the side reported a number without hesitation.

Jiang Dong's hands continued to move, and the atmosphere in the headquarters gradually became tense. Everyone even deliberately slowed down their breathing for fear of affecting the brigade commander's thinking.

"Crack!"

A minute later, Jiangdong dropped the pencil heavily on the map.

"The little devil is looking for death." He glanced at Zhao Erniu who was drinking water next to him. "Since the little devil is so anxious, I will give them a ride!"

"I order..."

"Brigadier, wait!" Xie Chengrui interrupted Jiang Dong.

Jiang Dong's eyes were a little cold, making Xie Chengrui feel a little embarrassed.

"Brigadier Commander, there are 2,000 Japs. It will take us two hours at the fastest to end the battle. The location of the Japanese army has not yet been determined. If we attack blindly and are bitten by the Japanese army, it will be difficult to escape."

"Haha..." Jiang Dong's voice was decisive and calm, "You have been following the little devil for ten miles, right?"

"Yes, brigade commander, we have been following the Japs 10 miles south of Sunweizi!" Zhao Erniu replied hastily.

Jiang Dong looked at Xie Chengrui, "This group of extremely tired little Japs has less than 2,000 people. Let's assume that their follow-up army has at least 3,000 people. I just looked at the map. The south of Sun Weizi is suitable for more than 3,000 people to rest."

There is only one place, Suixi Town! It is 60 miles away from Sunweizi!"

Xie Chengrui hurriedly checked the map and found that it was just as Jiang Dong said. He took a deep breath to calm down and said, "Please give the brigade commander an order!"

"The artillery battalion took the cannon and set off immediately to build an artillery position south of Phoenix Mountain. All preparations must be made before 3 a.m.!"

Xie Chengrui was scribbling at the side and remembering the orders.

"You can take a truck from the artillery battalion for a ride. If Chen Zhengyue discovers the location of the Japanese army, he must come back and report immediately!" Jiang Dong said to Zhao Erniu.

Zhao Erniu stood up and saluted, then ran out quickly.

"The first and second regiments set off immediately and told Zhang Shengqing and He Dingyuan that they would not reach Sun Weizi before 3 o'clock. I want their heads!"

180 miles have been traveled, and no one questions the order at this moment.

The brothers of the Independent Brigade in Xiao County City moved quickly. It only took 20 minutes from getting up to the time the whole army set off, which shows how strict the training is on weekdays.

County Magistrate Wang Xueqin and 139th Division Commander Li Zhaoying were both alarmed, and they almost stepped into Jiangdong's headquarters.

"Brigadier Jiang, what are you doing?" County Magistrate Wang Xueqin's voice sounded a little angry, because he thought the Independent Brigade was going to flee before the battle.

"Brother Jiang, what's going on?" Li Zhaoying also asked anxiously, even before he could button up the buttons on his military uniform.

Jiang Dong told Li Zhaoying and Wang Xueqin his plan while packing his things.

The former was dumbfounded, while the latter had an expression of relaxation and expectation on his face.

"Brigadier Jiang, is it too risky for 6,000 brothers to go and fight 2,000 imps?" Li Zhaoying said worriedly, if the independent brigade cannot come back, the 139th Division alone will not be able to defend Xiao County.

"Don't worry, Commander Li. The independent brigade has experience in such an annihilation battle. Besides, there are four 150mm cannons to help this time. The little devil can't escape!"

Jiang Dong's words were full of confidence.

Li Zhaoying's worried mood has not calmed down much, and he still looks gloomy.

County Magistrate Wang Xueqin became happier the more he thought about it, Jiangdong was an invincible general, and a layman like him felt that he had a great chance of winning based on intuition.

"Brigadier Jiang, wait for me. I'll ask Geng Jixian to find someone to lead you the shortcut!"

Wang Xueqin said loudly and ran outside.
