Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders - Chapter 149: The 3rd and 6th Regiments Raid the Bunker

Kuroda Notoku had no choice but to forward the telegram to Okamura. After reading the telegram, Okamura realized that the main target of the independent brigade was actually to capture the enemy.

"Strange, a bunker is easy to attack but difficult to defend, and it would be useless for the Eighth Route Army to seize it. Why would they spend so much effort to seize it?"

Okamura racked his brains but couldn't figure out why.

Chief of Staff Baiyin Chong'er was also puzzled. "Apart from its rich mineral resources, Mengbao is useless. Could it be that the Tubalu are planning to mine in Mengbao?"

Baiyin Chonger couldn't understand, "Commander, what's the point of the Tubalu mining? As far as I know, the Tubalu has no technology, no equipment, and no money.

Even if they dig up all the ore, they can only watch. "

Okamura waved his hand to stop Shirogane Shigeji from continuing, "No, there is really no way to deal with the Tubalu, but this independent brigade is different.

They can buy so many advanced weapons, and they can still buy industrial equipment and technology. The most important thing now is to find out the trade routes of the independent brigade, otherwise we will become more and more passive. "

Okamura's cold eyes made the staff officer tremble all over, and he quietly hid in a corner.

Okamura turned to Shirogane Shigeji and ordered, "Send a telegram to Arima Ichiro, and tell him to keep a close eye on the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army. Once the Eighth Route Army reaches the outskirts of the Mengbao, they should evacuate quickly.

And sent us a telegram, saying, "I don't care who can occupy Mengbao, we must strike this local Eighth Route Army,

When the time comes, I will send fighter planes from the Beijing airport out. There will be no place to hide on the grasslands. I will make them pay the price."

The commander of the 114th Division, Tan Yaowen, is listening to the report of his intelligence personnel.

"Commander, the Japanese in front of us did show signs of retreating. Later today, the Japanese battalion on the opposite side had already returned to their encampment.

Now there is only one Japanese squadron and one Japanese cavalry division left on the opposite side."

Tan Yaowen looked at the map and kept thinking in his mind, what exactly do these little devils mean? Are they trying to lure the enemy deeper?

Fortunately, he didn't need to think too much, because the 35th Army sent a telegram.

"Division Commander, the military headquarters sent a telegram saying that a part of the Eighth Route Army Independent Brigade has arrived near Mengbao. The Japanese are under great pressure and are showing signs of evacuating Mengbao.

The military ordered us to capture Mengbao before the Eighth Route Army."

After reading the telegram, Tan Yaowen threw it on the table. The military officials really thought too highly of him.

He didn't know what capabilities this Eighth Route Army unit had, but the troops that drove the Japanese out of their encampment were not something his small infantry division could afford to offend.

"Commander, a telegram from the military!"

It's only been a few minutes and another telegram has arrived. It seems that the people in the military are a little manic.

Sure enough, after reading it, Tan Yaowen said, "The military has arranged for an independent division to come to us, and asked us to reach the outskirts of Mengbao before tomorrow night."

We only have one cavalry regiment. We are lucky to be able to protect ourselves. How can we attack?"

"Let's talk about it after the reinforcements arrive!" said Patrick Tam with a frown.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was still deploying troops, the devils were also setting traps, and a part of the Eighth Route Army Independent Brigade that they had been thinking about had already arrived outside the Mengbao.

No one expected that the 3rd and 6th Regiments would advance so quickly. Over a distance of hundreds of kilometers, there were enemy strongholds and small units blocking the way.

At 3 a.m. the next day, the troops of the two regiments had advanced to a position 5 kilometers outside Mengbao.

After Zhao Shengzheng and Wang Daben discussed it, they reported to Wang Ye. They all felt that it was unlikely to encircle and suppress the Japanese cavalry on the grassland.

But we can't let them get too comfortable, especially since there are a lot of industrial equipment in Mengbao City. If we give the devils enough time to react,

They might tamper with the equipment. What if the Japanese are so cruel as to blow it up?

"Uncle Zhao, today is the day for us to become famous!"

Mr. Zhao was looking at this guy who was younger than his son, with admiration in his eyes.

"Since this opportunity is rare, you will be the one giving the order to attack!"

"Uncle Zhao?" Wang Daben looked at Zhao Shengzheng with surprise.

"Yes, Captain Zhao!" Wang Daben turned and shouted, "As the captain of the Third Regiment, I have issued an attack order to the Third and Sixth Regiments.

The 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment encircled to the right and blocked the north gate of Mengbao, while the 2nd Battalion of the 6th Regiment encircled to the left and blocked the south gate of Mengbao, making sure to drive the Japanese cavalry to the west of Mengbao.

The rocket artillery platoon and the artillery companies of each battalion set up attack positions, and the heavy artillery platoon attacked the enemy's fortifications.

The armored vehicles and tank platoons approached the enemy positions outside the Mengbao, and after the shelling ended, the entire army charged forward.

It was 3:35 in the morning, the time when people are most sleepy in the day. Even the Japanese guards on duty were drowsy at this time.

“Boom, boom…”

A violent explosion suddenly sounded in the silent night sky, and the whole hut was in chaos in an instant, as if a pot of boiling water had exploded.

The Japanese soldiers quickly put on their clothes and equipment in the barracks. Arima Ichiro and Yamagishi Ichikawa hurriedly ran to the headquarters.

No one could answer his question because the Japanese positions outside the city were covered by artillery fire from the independent brigade before they had time to report the situation.

Yamagishi Ichikawa reminded, "Captain, judging from the advance of the artillery fire, the enemy's heavy weapons are very powerful. We need to plan a retreat!"

Arima Ichiro listened carefully and found that after a short while, the artillery fire had extended to the vicinity of the city gate and was extremely close to them.

"Immediately order the troops to disperse and evacuate from the three city gates, and reunite at Guyang, north of Mengbao!"
