Zhao Gang reminded from the side: "It's like three autumns after not seeing each other for one day."
"Yes, one day without seeing you is like three autumns!" Li Yunlong immediately clapped his hands.
Xia Yang said with a smile: "The war is urgent. Lao Li, don't be polite to me. Go and see the situation of the Japanese army's positions!"
With that said, he and Li Yunlong approached the outskirts of the Japanese army's Laiyuan County.
Using a high-powered telescope, Xia Yang clearly saw the Japanese defense line outside Laiyuan County.
Because it was expected that the Eighth Route Army might regard Laiyuan County as an offensive target, Takeda, the captain of the Japanese army, ordered in advance to build a defense line on the outside.
These defense lines are made of wire and trenches, and there are also some permanent concrete offensives that serve as permanent machine gun fire points.
A squadron of more than 200 people composed of puppet troops and Japanese troops was stationed in the outer positions.
Although Li Yunlong fought fiercely, he was not a brainless man. After observing the defense composition of the Japanese army, he knew that if they attacked by force, the losses of the independent regiment would definitely be considerable.
So he took the initiative to request assistance from Xia Yang to help them attack Laiyuan County where the Japanese army was stationed.
"The Japanese army's defense layout is very tight. Our artillery bombardment may not be able to cause a lot of damage to the Japanese army." Xia Yang said, "Especially since the Japanese army's city wall is close to the county town, our artillery shells can only attack the peripheral Japanese positions and cannot directly attack them." Bombard the city wall, otherwise the people in the city may be accidentally injured."
They are not the Japanese army. When attacking, they can also carry out indiscriminate bombing of residential areas. Xia Yang couldn't do that kind of animal behavior, and neither could the Eighth Route Army.
So they have more things to consider, and they have more worries when attacking the city.
"If that's the case, how about organizing a night raid? The Japanese army should not have discovered us now, and maybe it will be effective." Li Yunlong said.
Xia Yang thought for a while and then said: "No, there are a lot of searchlights on the top of the Little Devil City, and there are so many barbed wire fences and patrols. The effect of a night attack may not be very good. I think it is better to attack during the day, but we People need to sneak into the city in advance, and then launch an attack together from inside and outside."
"But the control of little devils entering and leaving the city is very strict, so we can't go in!" Li Yunlong said with some embarrassment.
Xia Yang smiled and said: "I have a way to get in. At noon tomorrow, a caravan will enter Laiyuan County. At that time, some soldiers from my guard camp will be mixed in, and then they will cooperate with us when we start to attack the city. We take action.¡±
"Caravan? Where can we get a caravan?" Li Yunlong asked.
Xia Yang smiled and said: "Old Li, you don't have to worry about this, I will let the little devil find any flaws."
After hearing this, Li Yunlong stopped asking any more questions and directly bowed his hands to Xia Yang and said, "Then we, Old Li, won't ask any more questions. Our independent group will fully cooperate when the time comes."
Having said this, Xia Yang thought for a while, and then asked Li Yunlong: "Old Li, I have an unkind request. I wonder if you can agree to it."
"Come on, Commander Xia, you can't be polite to me, Old Li. That means you are looking down on me, Old Li." Li Yunlong patted his chest and said.
??
And during this campaign, I will use Laiyuan County as a grain storage warehouse and ammunition depot. "
After hearing this, Li Yunlong said happily: "No problem, even if you take the entire Laiyuan County, we, Old Li, have no objection."
Xia Yang said: "With your words, I feel relieved."
The reason why Xia Yang wants Laiyuan County to be used as a warehouse is to facilitate the supply of his troops.
The Eighth Route Army's operations in northwest Shanxi covered a large area, and even the Hebei region was within their operational scope.
By then, Xia Yang's troops may also have to go to some relatively distant places to fight. That involves a food supply issue. He can't always pull food, grass and ammunition from the ancient city of Mongolia to supply troops hundreds of miles away.
Therefore, with Laiyuan County as a supply base, it will be much more convenient for him to replenish the logistics of his troops.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And is stationed in Laiyuan County is Li Yunlong¡¯s independent regiment. Such a force with strong combat capabilities makes Xia Yang feel more at ease.
As for the two towns close to Taibai Mountain, Xia Yang controlled his power.The first step in expansion. At that time, he will need to control some counties and villages around Taibai Mountain, so that he can obtain more resources.
At noon the next day, a caravan departing from Lingqiu County had arrived outside Laiyuan County.
This caravan has a large number of people, more than fifty people. And it is equipped with a certain amount of armed forces.
The owner of the caravan is Sun Qi. It is said that this person knows many Japanese officers. On his transportation route, many Japanese officers will give his caravan some face.
The leader of the caravan is Yang Lin.
This person is a member of the Anbu and someone who follows Sun Qi.
He received Sun Qi¡¯s order yesterday afternoon to transport a batch of goods to Laiyuan County. However, the personnel escorting the goods are all members of the security battalion.
After putting on a simple disguise, these members transformed into caravan partners.
They swaggered outside Laiyuan County. They were still three to four hundred meters away from the county gate, when they were stopped by an officer of the puppet army.
"Look at the ID, and what's in the car?" the puppet army officer said lazily.
Yang Lin immediately took out the relevant documents, and then whispered: "We are from Shopkeeper Sun. Don't worry, the goods on the car are all serious goods, and there will be no dangerous goods."
"Are you from Shopkeeper Sun? Then this is your first time in our Laiyuan County! You don't know some of the rules yet!" the puppet army officer said with a smile. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
