Chapter 669: Midnight Sneak Attack
Under the fire of the second squad of the 54th Regiment Commando, the Japanese soldiers who were burying the pot to cook jumped into the car and drove away from the place under the cover of fire, and quickly advanced towards Jicheng and Quwo.
Liao Yingqiang looked at the Japanese transport convoy that was lying still, urging it to finally hit the road through fire strikes, and hurriedly dropped the pot stove and the rice grain ready to be put into the pot, he waved his hand excitedly and shouted: "Rush down and bring all the good things that the enemy has discarded." ”
The commandos who rushed to the highway saw the good things that the Japanese soldiers had left behind in a hurry, some of which could be eaten ready-to-eat, such as canned beef and other pickled products, and some of which were bags of rice and flour.
Shaanxi Lengwa has never seen these cans and other good things at all, and she doesn't know how to open them in her hand.
Liao Yingqiang watched as some of the soldiers stuffed the captured food they could eat, some carried a bag of rice on their shoulders, and some saw the bayonets and grenades left behind by the enemy's hasty escape, and immediately equipped themselves.
The soldiers gained a lot, not only cocked their thumbs and praised: "I really underestimated our little white face who rushed to be the head of the regiment, don't look at the thin skin and tender meat like a girl, but this guy has a flexible brain, he knows when it is windy and rainy in astronomy and geography, and he knows how to arrange the Japanese army's actions to capture the spoils, which really convinces him." ”
"Brothers, this Commander Lei is not an ordinary person, at the critical moment when our 13th Battalion held the forward position of the first line of defense and was about to be broken through by a Japanese squadron, it was he who led five male and female brothers to successfully sneak attack the mortar positions of more than 20 artillery pieces of the enemy, and reinforced our 13th Battalion with the most fierce artillery fire, which is really dangerous."
"Huh? Chief Lei took five young male and female brothers to kill more than 20 devils in a Japanese artillery squad? That's awesome, isn't it? ”
"Hmph, you said that from the time we followed Chief Lei to the present, what did he say and do not be outrageous? But people can pinch and calculate, at that time, I listened to his deployment like this, I still competed with him, and now everything is arranged by the group, I am really convinced. ”
Liao Yingqiang said and shouted to everyone: "Don't just think about eating and drinking, hurry up and take away everything you can take, it's best to bring more delicious food to those cold babies in the 14th battalion, they have been out of food for two or three days, and it's not beautiful to see these good things?" Hahaha, right? ”
The four transport squadrons of the Second Echelon Regiment of the Japanese Army, which had been attacked by fire and rushed on the road, had been leaving the city at 7 o'clock in the morning two days earlier, and it had been raining intermittently all day, and the roads were in extremely bad condition, and some roads were low-lying and waterlogged, and there was no trace of the road at all.
In order to avoid being attacked by anti-Japanese armed forces on a slow march, the commander of the second echelon, Yamashita Nakasa, ordered the transport convoy that had just left Qinshui City three or four kilometers to lie on the road, wait for the rain to stop on a sunny day, and the road conditions would improve before going on the road.
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly attacked by the commando fire deployed by Lei Yunfeng, from burying the pot to cooking to being forced to rush on the road, until sunset, he traveled ten kilometers with difficulty.
After sunset, the head of the ladder had to stop and camp halfway in order to ensure the safety of the transport convoy.
Yamashita Nakasa, who was cautious in handling things, ordered the front and rear garrisons to strengthen their defenses, and in the event of a sneak attack by the anti-Japanese armed forces, they must protect the convoy at all costs, and must not cause the convoy to suffer any losses.
Yamashita Nakasa knew that the second echelon regiment was mainly a transport force, and it could be said that the combat effectiveness was very low, and it would be very difficult to break through the positions of the National Revolutionary Army and the Eighth Route Army with their weak combat effectiveness.
In order to ensure the absolute safety of the transport convoy, Yamashita Nakasa requested the Ishikawa Brigade, which was on a covering mission, to come and rendezvous, in an attempt to pass through the very dangerous Dongwu Ridge that night.
Su Xiaoyan received a request message from Yamashita Nakasa, the commander of the second echelon of the Japanese army, to the captain of Shihe, and handed it to Lei Yunfeng after deciphering it. Cool text
Lei Yunfeng looked at the telegram and thought for a few minutes, and immediately convened a military meeting above the 14th battalion company to inform the Japanese army's second echelon regiment of the telegram that it was preparing to operate overnight.
At this time, Liao Yingqiang took fifteen commandos to the 14th Battalion to set up an ambush position and handed over all the seized things.
The soldiers of the 14th battalion looked at the captured guns and scattered cans, as if they were all leftovers from being eaten, but they had not eaten for two or three days, and their eyes were green when they saw these delicious foods, and they were trying to grab a share of the food.
Lei Yunfeng watched that some of the people had eaten some, and some of them had disappeared without even seeing them, not only scolding and complaining.
He looked at several battalion and company commanders who had not received food supplements for more than two days and said: "The first echelon regiment of the Japanese army has been blocked on the road by the continuous drizzle in the past few days, and the Japanese transport convoy has been ambushed by our commando.
He asked the Shihe Brigade, which was responsible for the vanguard covering mission, to immediately return from the front to carry out cover, and prepare to advance towards Jicheng and Quwo at midnight.
In order to create greater mental pressure on the already exhausted Japanese troops, and also to supplement the lack of weapons, equipment, and military supplies for the entire unit of our 54th Regiment.
More importantly, delaying the speed of the Japanese transport convoy on the second day, waiting for the first echelon regiment of the Japanese army to leave Qinshui City to catch up, causing the two echelon regiments of the Japanese army to march to Dongwuling at the same time, drilling into the ambush circle that our 10th Division and other friendly forces had deployed in advance, and our army concentrated fire to ambush the enemy's transport convoy, I ordered;
Fang Shichao, the commander of the 14th Battalion, was ordered to lead the 6th Company to immediately move secretly to the advance guard of the Japanese Second Echelon Regiment, arrive at the designated place and wait for the first shot to be fired to meet the Japanese advance guard garrison reinforced in the middle of the transport convoy.
Liao Yingqiang, the deputy leader of the commando team, was ordered to lead the 7th Company to immediately move to the tail of the 2nd Echelon Regiment of the Japanese Army and arrive at the designated place to set up an ambush, and its task was the same as that of the 6th Company.
Ordered Su Xiaoyan to lead the Eighth Company to hide on the spot, wait for the midnight battle to start, cooperate with the commando team to eliminate the Japanese transport convoy in the middle of the ground to resist the soldiers, and seize the Japanese-style equipment and military supplies that can equip two battalions as quickly as possible.
The assault team moved with us, and the main target of the assault was the three trucks marching in the middle of the Japanese convoy that appeared on the road, and it was only allowed to destroy the Japanese troops who carried out fire resistance, and the trucks were not to be destroyed.
Once the battle starts, under the cover of fire, we will take away as much as possible all the materials that can be removed and can equip our troops, do you understand? ”
"Understood." The battalion company commander of the 14th Battalion of the 54th Regiment, after listening to Lei Yunfeng's bold action deployment, shouted loudly one by one.
The soldiers of the 8th Company, who had remained in place and hidden, sat on the trunk of a tree, watching the gray sky always gloomy and drizzling, and they really hoped that it would get dark soon.
As long as it was dark and not too far from midnight, these hungry soldiers would pounce on the Japanese convoy like hungry tigers, seize the weapons, ammunition and food loaded by the enemy's convoy to replenish themselves and replenish the disabled unit of the Japanese army.
The day finally got dark, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the transport vehicles of the second echelon regiment of the Japanese army were muddy and difficult to walk on because of the heavy rain in the sky, so they stopped on the muddy road at the bottom of the mountain at this time, and they would continue to advance towards Jicheng and Quwo after dawn, but the commander of the ladder regiment under the mountain did not know their future and had already dug their graves.
In the drizzly night, Lei Yunfeng stared at the Japanese transport convoy parked on the highway with sharp eyes, repeatedly reconnoitring and locking the three transport trucks, as well as the front and rear cars that were more than ten meters away from each other, and even a few devils on these cars could see it very clearly.
