Chapter 1379: Secret Force
Shiwan Village, the garrison selected by the puppet army for more than 3,000 days this evening.
With the village as the center, there are guard posts in a three-kilometer radius.
There are clear whistles that can be seen at a glance, and there are hidden whistles.
More than a dozen patrols, armed with rifles and light machine guns, patrolled back and forth between the posts.
On the outer defensive line close to the station, more than a dozen machine-gun positions were arranged in it, either openly or covertly.
Behind the defensive line, one of the four mortar positions was on standby.
More than a dozen mortars raised their muzzles, gunners sat next to them to rest, shells piled up in nearby ammunition pits, ready to participate in the battle at any time.
More Japanese puppet troops retreated to rest in the barracks, and were scattered around the village in infantry squadrons and infantry companies.
The commander-in-chief of the attacking force, who was also the co-captain of the two infantry brigades of the devils, took a guard squadron and a secret unit to be stationed in the village.
The squadron of guards surrounded the village so tightly that unless there was an order, neither of the two captains could enter.
In the middle of the village, twelve mortars were scattered on it.
A group of three mortars, facing in one direction.
The gunners, like the artillerymen around the station, rested next to the mortars.
The only difference is the shells.
Inside the ammunition pit not far away, several ammunition boxes were neatly arranged inside, and each ammunition box had a skull painted on it, which looked very terrifying.
The shells look similar to ordinary shells, and if you look closely, you will see that each shell is painted a different color.
In the humble command headquarters, in addition to the captain of the Dazuo Wing sitting in the center, there were three Shaozuo sitting in front of him with a respectful face.
The two Shao Zuo are the captains of the infantry brigade under his command, and the other Shao Zuo is the commander of the secret unit sent by his superiors.
To be precise, the leader of the mortar squadron in the village.
The reason why an artillery squadron leader has such a high rank is not because of how senior he is, but because the shells fired by this mortar squadron are too special.
Looking at the entire Shanxi garrison, there are only three such mortar squadrons, all of which are served as squadron leaders, directly subordinate to the division headquarters and the direct command of the military headquarters.
No one has the right to transfer them without an order from an officer above the division commander.
In order to destroy the garrison arsenal, the commander thought for a long time before deciding to use this secret unit.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander? Are you sure the Eighth Route Army will come to attack us tonight? Shao Zuo, who commanded the secret troops, asked with a skeptical expression.
There were 3,000 troops stationed around the village, and he had the impression that no Eighth Route Army in North China dared to take the initiative to attack so many imperial troops.
The captain replied confidently: "Our opponent is the garrison regiment, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack." ”
"The troops are alone in their base area, and the garrison regiment will definitely not be able to figure out why we are so bold."
"If I were the commander of the garrison regiment, there would be another way to analyze the reason based on intelligence: take the initiative to attack and bring out our conspiracy and dependence."
"Whether they want to annihilate us or bring out our plot, they will send troops to attack us tonight."
After Dazuo finished speaking, he shifted his gaze to the two subordinates: "Are you ready?" ”
"Captain don't worry!" The two captains replied in unison.
"The gas masks are all in place, as long as the Eighth Route Army dares to come, it is guaranteed to kill them."
On a small mound five kilometers away, Li Hao half-squatted here, holding a telescope to observe the Japanese puppet army station, trying to find some clues to come out.
Disappointingly, this station is exactly the same as the Japanese puppet army garrison that the troops have encountered before, and there is nothing special about it.
"Regiment commander, we have all reconnoitred the enemy situation around the station." Chen Wei, the commander of the reconnaissance company, ran over to report.
"There are three kilometers around the station, there are guard posts, there are open posts and dark posts, the time is too tight, there must be a lot of secret posts that have not been discovered."
"There are 15 patrols between the posts, all of which are mixed with the Japanese puppet army, each patrol team has more than 20 people, and the Japanese puppet army accounts for half of them, equipped with a light machine gun and a grenadier."
"There were more than a dozen machine-gun positions scattered behind the patrol, and there were also bright and dark places, and we found five."
"Behind the machine-gun positions there were four scattered artillery positions, behind which were the stations."
"The observation distance is too far away, and we can only see an approximate idea with the help of the campfire."
"The enemy was scattered in infantry squadrons and infantry companies, some sleeping in tents and others next to campfires."
"There are quite a few patrols in the station, too."
"The situation in the village is completely invisible."
Hong Linfeng frowned and analyzed: "Regiment leader, from the analysis of the investigation results, there seems to be no conspiracy in this station?" ”
Li Hao didn't speak, but his brows were already wrinkled deeper and deeper, and his expression was much more solemn.
Two minutes later, he spoke: "The more I do this, the more I mutter." ”
"It's impossible for the devil to send more than 3,000 troops to our base to die, so there must be a conspiracy here."
"I can't find it after looking at it for a long time, which means that we have never encountered this conspiracy before, and the devil is very deeply hidden."
Hong Linfeng was frightened by the concerns raised by the regiment commander.
When I looked at the devil's station again, it was as if I saw a bloody mouth, and the garrison couldn't get out after killing it.
trembling in his heart, he hurriedly reminded: "Regiment commander, only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one win a hundred battles, now that you can't figure out the devil's conspiracy, you will definitely suffer a big loss if you attack rashly, for the sake of safety, is it to suspend the attack tonight?" ”
"Can't stop!" Li Hao shook his head and refused.
"There is only one day left to Lingqiu here, if you don't beat the enemy's conspiracy tonight, you won't have a chance tomorrow."
"Lingqiu is the hinterland of our base area, and if the puppet army kills it for more than 3,000 days, it will definitely cause a devastating blow."
"I don't want the base area that everyone worked so hard to restore to be destroyed again."
Since the regiment commander decided to fight, Hong Linfeng's heart slowly sank, his worries disappeared, and he began to fulfill his duties as chief of staff.
Frowning and analyzing: "Regiment leader, since you want to fight, you must definitely attack." ”
"The Japanese puppet army garrison is too heavily guarded, and the possibility of a successful sneak attack is almost zero."
Li Hao quickly made a decision: "The old rule, the reconnaissance company, as the first echelon, sweeps away all the light and dark sentinels in front of us. ”
"The guard company, the special service company, and the independent company serve as the second echelon, attacking the Japanese puppet army patrol and covering the reconnaissance company to assault forward."
"The first battalion, the second battalion, and the tank company acted as the third echelon, attacking the machine gun positions and artillery positions of the Japanese puppet army, and striving to enter their garrisons."
"The three battalions are used as reserves, and the cavalry battalions are on alert around the battlefield as companies to eliminate the Japanese puppet army that may break through."
"It's ten o'clock in the evening, and we're attacking on time at one o'clock in the morning."
