Chapter 271: Fake reinforcements, real fake people, I want to play the empty city plan with the devi
When Ichiro Higashida fled, he did not dare to drive a motorcycle, but disguised himself as a puppet soldier, which was safer. It was because Ichiro Higashida destroyed the radio station in the camp before leaving that the North China Front Command could not contact Taro Matsubara. In order to find out the situation on the front line, General Tada ordered Yoshio Shinozuka to send a reconnaissance plane tomorrow to investigate the matter.
"Bagayalo! What the hell is going on? The Second Mixed Brigade was wiped out yesterday. Could it be that the Matsubara Mixed Brigade was also wiped out? The headquarters sent Ichiro Higashida to rescue the situation, but there is still no news. Could it be that Ichiro Higashida hasn't arrived yet?"
With doubts in his mind, Yoshio Shinozuka called Taiyuan Airport and ordered two reconnaissance planes to be dispatched tomorrow to conduct reconnaissance on the Xiaobaozhuang and Xiaoyunling positions to find out the current situation of the Independent Regiment before arranging the next step of action!
Lin Zhenhua was awakened by the thunder outside in the middle of the night. He immediately woke up Ding Wei and Kong Jie beside him, lit the oil lamp, took out the weather forecast bottle and saw that it would rain moderately today. He didn't dare to sleep any longer, and immediately sounded the air defense alarm and woke up all the soldiers who were resting in the position.
"Lao Ding, we have to quickly build a rainproof shed and cover the cement with waterproof cloth. We need to use two layers of rainproof facilities to ensure that the cement does not get damp!"
"Lao Kong, hurry up and bring your men to cover our artillery with rainproof cloths. You also need to build diversion troughs near the gun positions. We must not let the cannons get wet in the rain!"
"I have to take people to clean up the position and dig drainage ditches. We must not let water accumulate in the position to avoid affecting the construction of fortifications. It is now 4:30 in the morning. We have to move faster. I estimate that the rain will come in an hour at most!"
Under Lin Zhenhua's arrangement, everyone immediately got busy. It took only more than 20 minutes to cover the cement and artillery with waterproof cloth, and the water diversion channel had been dug. However, the construction of the rainproof sheds was a bit slow. In desperation, they could only use some steel plates to support them. This accelerated the construction speed, and finally rainproof sheds were built before the rain came.
Listening to the sound of raindrops outside, everyone on the position finally relaxed. This rain had both advantages and disadvantages for everyone. Two platoons of soldiers were assigned to look after the supplies, while the others continued to rest.
The rain started at six in the morning. It started as a drizzle, then turned into moderate rain, and continued to rain until the evening, when it turned into light rain. Lin Zhenhua was not idle during this day. He used the steel plates sent by the arsenal to build a 20-meter-long rainproof shed, which completely blocked the rain outside. The position was a busy scene.
Due to weather factors, the Japanese reconnaissance plane had no way to take off from Taiyuan Airport, so they had to suspend the reconnaissance mission and wait for the rain to stop! The independent regiment also took this opportunity to take a breath. After being perfected by Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, the empty city plan was freshly baked.
"Lao Zhao, the arsenal has already produced more than 600 wooden dummies. To prevent the news from leaking out, I specifically asked them to transport the dummies to the battlefield so that we can assemble them ourselves. Now it's getting dark, and more than 80 trucks have already set out from the arsenal. They are expected to arrive in five hours. You should quickly arrange for the soldiers to prepare their clothes. When the dummies arrive, assemble them immediately and put our clothes on them."
"Fortunately it rained, otherwise we would have no time to prepare. With the help of this rain, our empty city plan can be truly successful!" Li Yunlong said with a smile on his face.
Zhao Gang also replied with a happy face: "Old Li, I will make arrangements in advance and mark the deployment positions of the dummies in advance. We still need one to two hours to adjust and assemble them. Even if we are busy until dawn, we have to deploy these dummies. As long as we can deceive the Japanese reconnaissance planes, our independent regiment can hold out for a while!"
Li Yunlong spoke a few more words to Zhao Gang, then picked up the phone beside him and called Lin Zhenhua directly. For safety reasons, he planned to use a code word so that even if the phone was tapped, he could ensure that the empty city plan could continue.
"College student, I just sent you another battalion of reinforcements. This is my last reserve force. You better be careful and defend your position honestly. Our independent regiment doesn't have many reinforcements left. At most, we only have four battalions left. If you include the wounded, there are only five battalions, which adds up to only three or four thousand people. At most, we can fight a regiment of the Japanese."
"From now on, we should focus on defense and fight the Japanese bit by bit. Anyway, the brigade commander has already sent reinforcements. As long as we hold on for another five days, the reinforcements will arrive. By then, the offensive and defensive situation will change. No matter how many Japanese come, we don't have to be afraid!"
Lin Zhenhua was listening to Li Yunlong's confusing words and was about to ask questions when he suddenly realized the problem. He boasted with disdain on his face: "Old Li, are you playing a double game with me? I know the financial situation of our independent regiment very well. We also have a battalion of troops responsible for military production. If we are really forced into a corner, we can transfer this battalion out."
"The brigade commander has sent us two regiments of reinforcements this time, which adds up to nearly 5000 people. Add to that the more than 4000 troops we have, and our strength has reached over . Even if our combat effectiveness declines, we will have no problem resisting the attack of to devils!"
"It's already this damn time, Li Yunlong is still hiding, who is he guarding against? The spies that the Japanese had planted in our independent regiment have been cleared out twice before, and I guess they have been cleared out. There is no need for you to be so cautious. You didn't even tell me the truth. No wonder the Japanese were fooled by you this time!"
Li Yunlong's laughing voice came from the phone: "College student, I didn't do this on purpose. It was because of the intelligence leaks twice in a row that I had to be more cautious! To be honest, I haven't suffered such a big loss in all these years. The Security Department is such an important place, but it was infiltrated by the devils like a sieve. The lesson last time was too profound, and I still feel resentful until now!"
"After this round of the Japanese sweep is over, I plan to personally lead people to Ping'an County and kill the damn Zhu Ziming. If this traitor is left to roam free outside, I won't be able to enjoy my dinner tonight!"
"Okay, I won't say any more. The reinforcements have arrived at Xiaobao Village. I have to make some arrangements quickly. If it still rains tomorrow, I will go to the Xiaoyunling position and have a good chat with you about the arsenal!"
Lin Zhenhua heard someone calling Li Yunlong from the microphone, so he hung up the phone, called Ding Wei and Kong Jie to the command center, and talked about the reinforcements.
"Old Ding, Old Kong, Old Li called just now and sent a battalion of reinforcements to us, asking us to be ready for them. I know you two are very confused. Didn't you say before that the independent regiment was short of troops and could not provide troops to support the frontline positions? How come we suddenly have reinforcements now?"
"This is actually an empty city plan. I estimate that what Lao Li will send is likely to be a dummy. We put clothes on the dummy and put it in the position. It will confuse the sight of the Japanese reconnaissance plane pilots. Then I will get a few anti-aircraft guns to scare the Japanese reconnaissance planes. The effect will definitely be very good!"
"Old Li said he would send us a battalion of reinforcements, which means he would send us a battalion of dummies. I estimate that there will be one batch today and another batch tomorrow. Even if the Japanese find out the truth in a few days, there is nothing to be afraid of, because by then Deputy Commander Xing will have returned, and the Japanese will have missed the best opportunity. By then, they will have no way to deal with us!"
"The enemy's sweep has been going on for almost half a month. The troops have been dispersed, and it is impossible to assemble in a short time. We can take this opportunity to repair our positions. With the protection of bunkers, our casualties can be minimized, and we can hold out against the enemy for a longer time. By then, the brigade commander will definitely send more reinforcements, and the crisis of the independent regiment will be truly resolved!"
"In addition, I have another good news to tell you. After receiving medication, more than 600 lightly wounded soldiers did not develop any infection. More than 60 of them have returned to the team after treatment. In the next week, more lightly wounded soldiers will return to the team after treatment. This will greatly make up for our disadvantage of insufficient manpower!"
"College student, Lao Ding and I don't have any good suggestions. We are really in a situation where we have no resources to support ourselves. The New 1st and New 2nd Regiments have been destroyed, and the remaining strength of the two regiments is only a hundred people. Even if we want to support you, we are powerless. From now on, the two of us will fully cooperate with your work. We must defend the base at all costs and never let the Japanese take it away!" Kong Jie said solemnly.
Ding Wei also echoed, "The fierce offensive and defensive battles before made us realize our many shortcomings. In terms of the use of artillery, we missed opportunities several times, allowing the Japanese to break through the position. This has a lot to do with our command. It's mainly because we are used to fighting without artillery support. When we suddenly have a large number of artillery in our hands, we become a little uncomfortable. Especially in the use of heavy artillery, we still have a lot of shortcomings. We can take advantage of this time to learn humbly, so that we won't be at a loss when encountering similar situations in the future!"
Lin Zhenhua did not say much. Some things required them to experience for themselves. Even his use of heavy artillery had many problems. Compared with the others, Lin Zhenhua had already passed the entry level in the use of artillery, but there was still much room for improvement in his grasp of fighter planes.
Four hours later, more than 30 trucks arrived at the Xiaoyunling position under the cover of night with their lights on. Looking at the dummies covered tightly with rainproof cloth, Lin Zhenhua immediately arranged the trucks to stop at the shack one by one.
"Old Ding, you will be responsible for leading the men to move the dummies to the position. Old Kong, you will be responsible for assembling the dummies. I will be responsible for commanding the vehicles. We must move quickly and place the dummies before dawn. I estimate that as long as the weather permits, the Japanese reconnaissance planes will come for reconnaissance. We don't have much time left!"
