Chapter 246: Continue to attack the county
The soldiers who put on the cotton coats were very happy, but there were still many soldiers who had not put them on.
But they didn't think too much about it. After all, they knew that the clothes they had now were definitely not enough, and they could continue to seize them later.
At this moment, in the command post in the county town, several people were gathered here to discuss the next battle plan.
A map is placed here.
At this moment, they are in Linshi, which is close to southern Shanxi. Further south is Yunshi, to the southeast is Jinshi, and further east is Changshi.
Everyone is located in Xing County, close to the north of Lin City, and the battle plan for the southern part is definitely longer, and this front line is very large.
The southern Shanxi war zone is very large.
The further south you go, the less likely you are to encounter Japanese soldiers.
There are Japanese troops in Taiyuan area. If we go eastward, we will encounter more Japanese troops.
They could only grope quietly towards the southwest of Shanxi from their current location and did not dare to move too far forward.
If we move too much, we will definitely be discovered by the Japanese, who have a lot of troops here.
Moreover, this place is not particularly far from Taiyuan area. Once there is any major action, they will definitely know it first.
"Once we take Xing County, even if our actions are small, the Japanese will definitely be alerted, and our next actions will definitely make them wary."
Wang Lin looked at the map in front of him and spoke.
"The next battle plan is to continue advancing southward, either attacking Changlong County or Pingyang County."
"Changlong County is closer to the east, closer to the Japanese position. My idea is to attack Pingyang County first and send a troop to see the situation there."
"If the situation over there is as we expected, and there is only one team, then we should take Pingyang County first."
After hearing this, Li Yunlong thought for a while and said.
"If such a large force like ours were to take action, it would be easy for the enemy to discover us."
"I think we should just strike faster and capture multiple counties directly. It would be best if we could just run right in."
"In this way, even if they find us, we will have already taken over a large part of the county."
Then as soon as he said this, Ding Wei shook his head.
"We are now pretending to be just a regiment. In the eyes of the Japanese, our regiment is at most a little stronger and can capture a county town."
"But if we capture multiple counties in succession, even the dumbest Japanese will realize this is no ordinary force."
"Our most important task now is to conceal our size and not let the Japanese find out we are a brigade."
Wang Lin nodded and said.
"Old Ding is right. This time, we should mainly hide our bodies and not be too conspicuous."
"There will be a bigger operation next. If it is exposed now, the subsequent operations will definitely be more troublesome."
Li Yunlong was still too anxious. He wanted to fight more Japanese devils.
However, after hearing Wang Lin's words, he realized that their mission this time had a bigger goal.
They knew in their hearts that they were attacking the county town just to open up a channel first.
A more significant task will follow.
This mission will be the real purpose of their special operations brigade.
The specific combat plan this time was to capture the entire southern Shanxi. It could be said to be a major operation, so a special operations brigade was specially established for this purpose.
Wang Lin knew very well in his heart that he had to proceed step by step and not accomplish it all at once.
Otherwise, the Japanese will definitely send out a large-scale army.
The Japanese had already lost northwestern Shanxi. If they lost southern Shanxi again, Yoshio Shinozuka would definitely go crazy.
He was about to lose his position in the first place. The battle in Taiyuan area had made no progress and he would be replaced next year.
Therefore, he must achieve as much as possible during this period of time, otherwise he will definitely lose his position as commander of the First Army.
But if more accidents happened before that time came, southern Shanxi would be taken over by the Eighth Route Army and the National Army.
Then Yoshio Shinozuka would probably have no choice but to commit suicide by seppuku.
Wang Lin tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said after thinking for a moment.
"I will send a company from the Special Operations Regiment to investigate the situation and investigate the specific conditions in Pingyang County."
"However, we must also understand the situation in Changlong County. We should also send another company of troops to conduct reconnaissance there to ensure that there are no changes in Changlong County."
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei nodded without any questions.
As for Kong Jie, the head of the group, he didn't say anything from beginning to end.
He was just thinking about how to gain more military merits and how to defeat more Japanese devils.
This guy is now determined to become the deputy brigade commander from the regiment commander.
After all, he felt really bad seeing that his old comrades had become deputy brigade commanders.
We originally thought that we could defeat some Japanese reinforcements in this battle, but we didn't expect to deploy so many troops. As a result, the special forces regiment's combat speed was too fast.
Those damn Japanese were completely wiped out before they even had time to call for reinforcements.
Unfortunately, the troops of the New Second Regiment ambushed around for a long time, but in the end all they got was northwest wind.
The Japanese reinforcements didn't react at all.
After the combat plan was deployed, part of the special operations brigade rested in the county town, while the remaining large-scale troops waited outside.
After all, such a large army will definitely be noticed once it enters the county town.
There might be some hidden puppet troops or Japanese spies in this county town. To be on the safe side, Wang Lin dared not delay any further.
Not only that, Wang Lin also deployed a large number of patrol teams outside the county town to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
All of this is to cover up one's tracks.
Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the army is doing very well and has not been noticed.
The news of the fall of Xing County soon reached the Japanese army.
There has been no news from Xing County, and other nearby counties must be worried.
Wang Lin's reconnaissance team soon found some Japanese scouts around. They came here to check the situation and came from other counties around.
However, Wang Lin did not care much about this, as long as they did not discover his large army.
Try your best to appear weak.
