Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders - Chapter 169 Division's Bait

The chief of staff thought that the division commander was going to cause trouble for Wang Ye, so he quickly shut him up.

The division commander pointed at the chief of staff and said to the people around him, "Look, I only said one sentence, and our chief of staff said ten sentences.

Oh, people always say that Wang Ye and his sister are the godchildren of the Chief of Staff, but I didn’t believe it. Now I really believe it! "

"Old Liu, please don't talk nonsense. Everything I said is based on the safety of the people. There is no problem." The chief of staff quickly dropped the subject.

Especially since they were able to rescue the common people intact, it shows how powerful they are!"

"Okay!" The deputy commander interrupted the conversation between the two. "Although the Wang Ye brothers and sisters' actions are well-planned, they are different from normal commanders after all. Their merits and demerits are offset.

The main problem now is that the independent brigade has taken over most of Sui Province, and then it will approach the 35th Army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in Wuyuan in the west, and the independent mixed nd Brigade of the devil in the east.

Although we have other troops supporting us in the south, we cannot relax on both fronts, especially in the east.

There was some silence in the headquarters. The reality was that although the independent brigade was developing rapidly and the base area in northwestern Shanxi had doubled in size under the attack of the independent brigade, there was still a shortage of weapons, ammunition and logistics.

The Eighth Route Army Arsenal has made great progress with the help of Wang Ye, but it is still too slow to keep up with the pace of the Eighth Route Army's large-scale expansion.

Now the independent brigade has to face not only the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan, but also the Mongolian Corps in Sui and Cha provinces, as well as the North China Expeditionary Force. The situation is still not optimistic.

"Yes, we received intelligence that the Japanese 108th Division that attacked Yu County did not retreat, but instead continued to transport weapons, ammunition and supplies forward. It can be seen that the battle in Yu County is inevitable.

The Chief of Staff said worriedly.

"The troops in the Northwest Shanxi base area were firmly pinned down in the area north of Ping'an by the devil's Fourth Brigade and the 109th Division.

As long as our troops made a move, the Japanese divisions would rush into the base like wild dogs pouncing on their prey.

We can only arrange for the newly formed 316th Brigade and local militia forces to provide support.

"Don't worry too much!" said the political commissar.

"Yesterday's battle report from the Independent Brigade said that the main force of the 26th Division and two battalions of the 3nd Independent Mixed Brigade, plus men of the nd Mongolian Cavalry Army, were defeated by the Independent Brigade.

The independent brigade deployed more than 40 aircraft and two mechanized infantry regiments.

With such strong combat power, the Japanese will certainly be terrified. As long as the independent brigade can quickly pull the air force back to Yu County, I think the problem will not be that serious."

The deputy commander-in-chief felt that the independent brigade did a great job of maintaining confidentiality.

"I have already asked Zhao Gang about this matter. He said that the flight squadron had just been formed and the pilots and fighter planes were still in the running-in period.

If the Japanese army had not come to rescue Suicheng, the independent brigade's flying squadron would not have been dispatched.

Now that the Japs know we have air power, they will definitely find a way to destroy us!"

With the current strength of a regiment in Yu County, it is difficult to take care of all defenses!"

The deputy commander-in-chief didn't know about this intelligence yet. He was surprised and said, "The 108th Division has been dragging its feet since the start of its deployment. After the battle of Suicheng, how come they are so fast? Is there something wrong here?"

"It seems that the Japs are indeed planning to target the independent brigade's flying squadron!" the political commissar said in a strong voice.

"The Japanese intend to use this brigade's troops as bait to pull out the independent brigade's flying squadron and cooperate with the flying squadrons at the Beiping and Taiyuan airports to destroy them?"

"This is very likely. The plan to rescue Suicheng has failed. The most important thing for the Japs now is to reduce their forces.

The 108th Division is advancing instead of retreating, and their purpose is very clear!"

"Report this situation to the Independent Brigade and let Wang Ye worry about it. I believe he will have a solution.

I haven't had a good rest for more than half a month, let's take a good rest today!"

After Wang Ye received the notification from the headquarters, his emotions did not fluctuate much. Even if he was allowed to choose again, he would still lead the team to attack.

Killing the devils is important, but saving the people is more important.

As for offsetting merits and demerits, Wang Ye doesn't care at all, as he has plenty of merits.

The problem now faced was the negotiation representatives of the 108th Division and the 35th Army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in Mongolia.

"Captain Li, I'm Deputy Brigade Commander Wu Gang. You should have seen the Brigade Commander's telegram, right?"

"Hello, Deputy Brigade Commander Wu. I have seen the Brigade Commander's telegram. I wonder what instructions Deputy Brigade Commander Wu has?"

It was the first time that Li Feijun spoke with the leader of the independent brigade other than Wang Ye after taking office as the battalion commander.

"Captain Li, don't be nervous. According to the telegram sent back by the Independent Brigade's Intelligence Department, almost all of the fighter planes at the Beiping and Taiyuan airports have been dispatched.

I want to know the specific organization and combat capability of the flight squadron. "

Li Feijun said solemnly, "The flight brigade has three squadrons, of which the first and second squadrons are bomber squadrons, each with 9 of the world's most advanced B-29 strategic bombers.

The third squadron is a fighter squadron equipped with 36 Me262 jet fighters.

A fighter squadron only has 12 planes. Wang Ye deliberately strengthened the fighter squadron in order to guard against the threat of large-scale enemy aircraft.

"Comrade Li Feijun, let me ask you, how many enemy planes can 36 fighters face?"

Li Feijun uttered a few words confidently, "It's useless no matter how many of you come!"
