492 Strategies for Exhausting the Enemy
The sky grew darker and darker, and the last remnants of light faded.
The last party looking forward to the dark was naturally Han Feng and Li Yunlong and his party.
The earthwork was still excavating, attracting all the attention of the Japanese troops at the South City Gate, and in the rear two kilometers away, if you were on the South Gate of Linfen, you would probably be able to see some outlines only with the help of high-powered night vision binoculars.
It's a pity that there is still a large area of woods here as a cover, and the reconnaissance of the three wolves in the valley has also looked here, but they have not found any clues.
As everyone knows, under the cover of this forest, Han Feng and Li Yunlong have each selected 500 elites from their own teams to carry out the task of climbing to the top of the city from both sides of the south city gate tonight to attack the Japanese army.
The day is getting closer and closer to black.
Han Feng bowed his head and looked at the time on his watch, the moon was hazy tonight, and the night was a few minutes earlier than usual, and even on this day, it seemed that they were covering and assisting the actions of Han Feng and his party.
"Old Chief, in a quarter of an hour, it should be dark, before the night, we need to use the trench to fight another wave of feints, so as to refresh the little devil."
Li Yunlong said: "Just now we sent more people, the earthwork has advanced thirty or forty steps, but the distance is still too far, this feint, let the brother who has three or eight big gayers in his hand go, damn, the devil's marksmanship is not bad, we can't touch this mold, all of them are for Lao Tzu to nest in the trench to beat, anyway, this black rumbling, the little devil doesn't know what we are going to do." ”
Han Feng said with a smile: "The old head has a good idea, so let's fight like this." ”
……
When the feint attack began, the Eighth Route Army was prostrate and shooting among the local tyrants everywhere, but all the soldiers actually knew in their hearts that it was still three or four hundred paces away, and the sky was drowsy, and the devils on the top of the city could faintly see a black shadow, in this case, not to mention them, even the sharpshooters in the team might not be able to shoot the target.
If you are lucky, a blind cat can kill two devils when you meet a dead mouse, and if you are unlucky, you are completely carrying out the so-called feint mission, where you waste bullets and empty guns!
But then again, even if the enemy is hit, the shooter will not be able to detect it.
A vague feint, which would have been a bit comical in broad daylight, unfolded in this way as it approached darkness.
On the castle tower, the Japanese army captain Saburo Tani was completely stunned.
What's going on here?
When the battle just broke out, he thought that the Eighth Route Army was about to attack again, so he hurriedly ordered to open fire, but the firepower poured for a while, but he found that the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was only fired in the local tyrants, and basically no one rushed to attack the local tyrants.
Could it be that these dirt roads are ready to wipe out all of themselves and others at a distance of three or four hundred meters? This is too wishful thinking!
The Japanese soldiers only needed to simply hide behind the battlements on the top of the city, and the Eighth Route Army had no way to take them.
Is this a feint?
But this feint is too obvious! The Eighth Route Army was afraid of casualties, and even the charge was spared?
Gu Saburo was a little speechless because of this, he was not a fool, or did the generals of the Eighth Route Army regard themselves as fools, and such an obvious futile feint may have fooled him?
The distance was too far, and the shooting effect on both sides was not great, Gu Saburo simply ordered the soldiers to stop shooting, and the artillery bombarded for a while, and it was completely muted, and above the city gate, the movement of the devils quickly quieted down.
And the devil stopped firing back, and there was naturally no need for the Eighth Route Army to pretend anymore, and Han Feng and Li Yunlong also ordered to stop feints and continue to dig.
Under the detection of Gu Saburo's night vision binoculars, outside the city gate, the dust was still flying at a distance of three or four hundred steps, and he became even more suspicious, what was the Eighth Route Army making such a fuss?
Thinking that the enemy could break the city in any way, Gu Saburo watched the Eighth Route Army for a while, felt bored, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of mockery, and ordered the soldiers to continue to wait for the battle, and after the sentries strengthened their vigilance, they sat down on the inner wall of the city wall (daughter wall) to rest.
However, not long after the eyelids drooped, a shell suddenly exploded on the top of the city, and the Japanese troops on the top of the city immediately exploded.
At a distance of more than ten meters from him, the shell exploded, and the astonishing sound made Gu Saburo shocked, and he thought that the Eighth Route Army was attacking.
It was already pitch black under the city gate, and the Japanese machine gunners who were always prostrate at the battlements, holding the machine gun shooting button, were suddenly frightened, and subconsciously chose to shoot.
When Gu Saburo came back to his senses to reconnoitre, but found that there was no one under the city gate, he hurriedly ordered to stop the attack, and looked at the Eighth Route Army not far away with some gritted teeth.
The dust was still flying, and the pillar that had finished the first shot ordered someone to carry the mortar into the trench as soon as possible, and he had just shot this cannon, in Han Feng's words, it was supposed to refresh the little devils, so as not to accidentally fall asleep to these guys.
Speaking of which, this is going to talk about people's hearts, and the trickers are completely different from the ones who are being teased, the former holds a posture of playing with ridicule, always energetic, and constantly wants to think of new tricks to trick each other.
And the latter can be miserable, constantly being teased, anger and nervousness coexist, which will create a great deal of fatigue and helplessness in people's spirits.
At this moment, the Eighth Route Army was the tricker, and the Japanese soldiers on the city gate were the trickers, and this identity of both sides lasted until about ten o'clock at night.
In the hazy moonlight, there are few stars in sight, and if you walk at night, you may be worried about accidentally kicking an imperceptible stone and falling.
It was also at this time that it seemed that the men and horses on both sides were tired, and the Eighth Route Army stopped digging, and the final distance of the trench also stayed at 300 paces away.
Under the artillery sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, the mental state of the Japanese army on the south gate can be imagined, every time the shell explodes, all the Japanese troops on the city tower are awakened, after repeated times, when there are shells or the Eighth Route Army feints, these devils seem to have immunity, and they don't even bother to raise their eyelids.
Later, Gu Saburo simply acquiesced, as long as the Eighth Route Army did not make a real offensive posture, it would no longer call for the soldiers to fight back.
But the cautious character made the Japanese soldiers dare not be careless, from dark to now, for two hours, their spirits are tense.
The Japanese army is not stupid, they obviously perceive that these actions of the Eighth Route Army must also have a purpose, as for what the purpose is, it is nothing more than to break through the city, which makes them dare not take chances.
Until ten o'clock, when there was no nightlife here, the soldiers, who had long been accustomed to going to bed early, had been in a state of tension after continuous fighting, and they were inevitably sleepy and tired, and they could not help but close their eyes and fall asleep.
At this moment, the spirited Saburo Tani also observed from the night vision binoculars that the Eighth Route Army 300 steps outside the city gate stopped digging.
He could even see through the telescope the Eighth Route Army lying asleep next to the trench, and the entire city gate was quiet, it was hard to imagine that a large number of men and horses were lurking at this moment.
Gu Saburo was a little puzzled, could it be that the Eighth Route Army was also sleepy, and the battle ended like this tonight?
After Saburo Tani, who did not dare to be careless, ordered the sentinels to strengthen their vigilance, he gave the order to the Japanese soldiers for the first time to rest temporarily.
The soldiers of the Japanese army, who had been in high tension and were waiting for the battle, breathed a sigh of relief and rested in their own positions.
And this time, what the Japanese army did not expect was that the Eighth Route Army seemed to have really given up its plan to continue harassment, and it had been a whole hour, almost approaching 12 o'clock in the morning, and it was still quiet outside the city gate, and the sentries with night vision binoculars did not find anything abnormal.
After resting for such a long time, the Japanese soldiers finally slowly fell asleep, and the hazy moonlight was obscured by a dark cloud, and the last light was temporarily extinguished.
"Go", a light drink, from behind the woods in the distance, two teams of people and horses scattered left and right in silence, marching.
Duan Peng led half of the assault team and led 500 elite soldiers to detour from the left flank of the south city gate, and the other half of the commando team led by Zhou Daniu also led 500 soldiers to detour from the right wing of the city gate.
At the front of the moat, only 300 steps away from the city gate, Han Feng and Li Yunlong squatted in it, and behind them were two columns of energetic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
Li Yunlong said in a low voice: "Three stunned, you kid has a lot of ideas for fighting ghosts, and I don't know where Zhang Dabiao and them are." ”
Han Feng said: "I'm afraid that the little devil will be alert, I specially told them to go farther, it is estimated that it will take some time, but it is just right, but after a while, the little devil will be completely asleep, and it will not be too late for us to do it again." ”
Han Feng and Li Yunlong lowered their voices, saying sentence by sentence, the military commanders probably only cared about the battle situation in front of them.
But as a political commissar, Zhao Gang is concerned about another thing: "Xiao Han, after Linfen is won, what should I do next, have you thought about it?" ”
Han Feng didn't answer yet, but Xu Zilin smiled and said: "At that time, it was a matter that the headquarters should be concerned about, the Taiyue Military Region was established a few years ago, but it has been pressed by devils, and the base area has always been in a remote mountainous rural area, and the area south of Taiyue has not been opened up, this time we will take the Linfen area, which will be of great benefit to the expansion of the Taiyue Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base Area and the development of the Yuenan Base Area, and when the battle is over, the little devil will have a headache." ”
Everyone smiled, Xu Zilin spoke, and everyone quickly thought of the 227th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army that was defending in Qinshui.
"I don't know what is going on with our friendly captain now."
Xu Zilin said with a smile: "The situation is much better than we thought, the 227th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is not useless, the Japanese reinforcements from the Changzhi Jincheng side were all blocked by them outside the East City Gate, but from the intelligence detected by our scouts, they estimated that they would not be able to withstand it for long, and when it was dawn, the devils launched a few more attacks, just afraid that Qinshui would be lost." ”
Han Feng said: "Is it dawn? That's enough time.
Duan Peng Da Niu They should have started, Lao Deng, inform the soldiers, ready to fight at any time. ”
"Yes!"
Everyone was in high spirits, and the moment of the final battle was approaching......
