Chapter 337: The 'Great Army' Travels at Night

Although he negotiated the conditions with the Eighth Route Army earlier, he put the credit for the capture of Zaozhuang on the Eighth Route Army. But Hu Biao, who decided to leave, still would not let the Eighth Route Army bear all the pressure of the Japanese army in Zaozhuang, and planned to contain some little devils for him in the periphery.

Leading the main force to successfully jump out of the interception net set by the Japanese army, Hu Biao ordered Hu Minyi, who set off in advance to create chaos and divert the attention of the Japanese army, led the assault team to raid the small town of Beizhuang bordering Linyi.

According to earlier reconnaissance, the Japanese had only one squadron of troops stationed in the town. In view of the recent complex enemy situation in Zaozhuang, the Japanese troops stationed in the town blocked the road in and out of the town, as well as the road to Linyi.

Although Linyi has been occupied by little devils at the moment, Hu Biao is very familiar with this area. After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Hu Minyi, who had been lurking near the checkpoint for a long time, said very directly: "Prepare for action!" ”

Compared with the usual use of bows and crossbows to shoot sentinels, Hu Minyi did not use assassination this time, but planned to make the movement bigger. Only in this way can we attract the attention of the defenders of Zaozhuang City and divert the attention of the little devils.

Staring at the little devils who stayed on the road outside the town, Hu Minyi also said directly: "One round, kill these little devils!" ”

"Understood!"

The so-called round is to shoot all the targets at once. With the current marksmanship of the soldiers of the special service company, the hit rate of the first shot is still very high. Even without the use of modified sniper rifles, the marksmanship of the fighters is still excellent.

At this moment, on the temporary checkpoint on the highway, there is only a small group of little devils about that. The road near the outpost passed by the large army must be dealt with in the outpost. Correspondingly, as soon as a gun goes off on this side of the road, the little devils in the town will attack.

With Hu Minyi's order, the combat team members who had selected the target for shooting opened fire almost at the same time. Neat gunshots rang out, and the little devils who stayed in the temporary outpost fell to their deaths in the temporary outpost.

After a round of solving the little devils in the outpost, Hu Minyi was also very satisfied: "Not bad! It seems that during this time, marksmanship has not been practiced in vain! Clean up the battlefield, prepare to ambush the little devils who come out of the town, and make the movement a little louder on this side of the road. ”

"Understood! Platoon leader! ”

The Japanese squadron that was resting in the town heard the sound of gunfire coming from outside the town, and the Japanese squadron leader who was sleeping instantly woke up and said, "Where are the shots?" Is there something wrong at the outpost? ”

"Squadron leader, it seems that the gunshots are from the sentry post? What to do? Do you want to gather troops? ”

"What are you still doing? Blow the whistle and send two squads to reinforcements! ”

"Squadron Leader, what about the town?"

"No matter! If it is really the main force of China to break through, we must stall for time. Let's take a look at what the situation is. If there is news, send someone back immediately to report it. I'll take the rest of the troops and hold on to this side of the town! ”

"Hey!"

During the day, he received a call from Zaozhuang City, and the Japanese squadron leader who was in charge of garrisoning Beizhuang also knew that the main force of the anti-Japanese army attacking Zaozhuang was not something he could resist at all. And what he has to do is stall for time.

But the situation is unclear at the moment, and it is not easy for him to report it indiscriminately. If it was not the main force of the anti-Japanese war force that he imagined to attack the outpost, it would be to lie about the military situation and investigate the responsibility, and he, the squadron leader, could not afford it!

Two squads were sent out of town to support, more to test the attackers' firepower. According to his guess, if the people who attacked the outpost were really the main force of the anti-Japanese war forces, then they would definitely not be entangled with him.

Because the longer the entanglement, the easier it is to be caught up by the Japanese troops who rushed from Zaozhuang to support. The task of these two squads is more to arrive at reconnaissance and confirm whether the rebel forces attacking the highway outpost are the main force for a sneak attack on Zaozhuang.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Hu Minyi only sent a squad of troops to set up a blocking position on the road that the defenders of the town must pass. The firepower of this squad is extremely strong, and a squadron of tough little devils is not much of a problem.

Light and heavy machine guns, plus mortars and grenadiers, Hu Minyi felt that it was completely enough to catch the small town devils off guard. Once the little devils lose too much, unless they are willing to give up Beizhuang, otherwise the surviving little devils will inevitably flee back to the town.

Sure enough, looking at the little devil who rushed out of the town, Hu Minyi also smiled and said, "Inform the fifth squad leader that you can start acting!" Let them, make the noise louder, and look more like that! ”

"Yes, platoon commander!"

When the little devils in the town came out and saw the fast-moving torches on the road outside the town, they immediately realized that what they feared and looked forward to the most had happened. The fear was that such a passing force would attack the town where they were stationed.

In anticipation, they discovered the main force of the Chinese army that had broken through from outside the town. The squad leader who led the team said without saying a word: "Quick, go back immediately and tell the squadron leader that a large number of marching Chinese troops have been found on the road!" ”

Because of the darkness and distance, the little devil couldn't see clearly whether there were people under the moving torches on the road. And the fact is that at this moment, many members of the commando team brought by Hu Minyi are carrying two bamboos.

A few torches were tied to each bamboo, and the team members were jogging forward. From a distance, it does look like many people are trotting forward with torches lit.

Even though Hu Minyi brought not many commandos, the Japanese army could see limited sight range, and the team members who walked out of the line of sight extinguished the torches, circled back from the front to relight the torches, and followed the people in front.

In this way, the little devils who came out of the town could only see a steady stream of torches on the road passing through the town. Each torch seemed a little far away, and there must have been someone in the middle of the torch who hadn't lit it.

On a night march, it is impossible for all the soldiers on the march to light torches. Such a simple guess also knew that there was a large army marching in the middle of the night. So at present, in Zaozhuang, what troops will march in a hurry overnight?

The squadron leader, who was waiting for news in the town, saw the second lieutenant who came back to report the news, and said seriously: "Really see it clearly?" ”

"Squadron leader, the Chinese army has an ambush outside the town, and we can't get close to the road at all. Their fire was so strong that we couldn't rush through it at all. It's just that from the place where we are fighting, we can clearly see that there are many torches moving on the road. ”

"Yaga! It seems that it is really a sneak attack on the main force of our Zhina army, and I ordered the troops to entangle them as much as possible, and I immediately called Zaozhuang City. Unfortunately, we are a bit far from the city, and even if you take a car, it will take at least two hours. ”

"Squadron leader, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for two hours at all, continue to fight, and our two squads will be exhausted. The Chinese army that blocked us was very well armed and equipped, and their marksmanship was very accurate! ”

The second lieutenant, who had been ordered to return to report the news, did feel stunned before. Although only two mortars and two grenadiers were used to ambush them, the train formed by the light and heavy machine guns was still fierce.

Not to mention rushing over, even if they get close, they will all suffer heavy casualties. The only thing to be thankful for is that the troops holding them off don't seem to want to attack the town they are stationing. As soon as they withdraw from the firing range, the opponent will stop firing.

After listening to the second lieutenant's account, the squadron leader also had a headache and said: "Then attack tentatively, just drag them down!" Yaga! If we had a large group of troops here, these troops would never have escaped. ”

The idea is good, but it's impossible. At present, some of the counties in Qilu they occupy have not yet garrisoned a brigade, and it is already very powerful to send a squadron to garrison a small town.

The Japanese troops, who were resting in Zaozhuang, received a call from Beizhuang, and the two automobile squadrons that had just arrived in Zaozhuang during the day immediately received an order from the temporary commander to mobilize the troops of the two squadrons to rush to reinforcements.

The follow-up troops will also rush to Beizhuang in a rapid march. One of the cavalry squadrons also began to prepare, and set off as soon as it was daybreak. At night, it was not convenient for the cavalry to participate in the pursuit.

In addition to explaining that the defenders of Beizhuang must entangle the main force of the Chinese army passing by on the road, the temporary garrison of Zaozhuang also sent a report to the Japanese troops on the Linyi side, asking them to gather troops and launch a blockade in Linyi.

In any case, the main force of the Chinese army, which had fled to Linyi, could not be allowed to escape sight. According to a day's investigation, the Japanese army felt that the number of anti-Japanese fighters who participated in the ambush and the night attack on Zaozhuang last night should have reached three or four thousand.

If there weren't so many people, the supplies they were carrying wouldn't have been able to be moved all overnight. It should be unlikely that a force of three or four thousand people entered the territory of Linyi and wanted to escape the pursuit and search of the Japanese army.

As a result, it was obvious that the Japanese troops who had gathered in Zaozhuang before dawn began to rush to Beizhuang in the starry night. After receiving a telegram from Zaozhuang City, the Japanese troops stationed in Linyi also urgently dispatched and began to block the road from Beizhuang.

On the other hand, Hu Minyi, who was blocking the attack, saw that almost half an hour had passed, and immediately called a team member and said, "The time is almost there!" Let the fourth squad leader bring people over and drive all these little devils back to the town! ”

"Yes, platoon commander!"

Looking at the little devil who didn't dare to get close anymore, Hu Minyi, who had been marching for half an hour overnight, felt that the play was almost the same. If you don't hurry up and retreat, you may really be caught up by the little devils.

A squad was dispatched to strengthen the attack, and the Japanese troops stationed in Beizhuang, who had already suffered heavy losses, could only retreat to the town helplessly. Just when the Japanese squadron leader was worried, Hu Minyi, who was pursuing, ordered a retreat.

When the gunfire outside the town subsided, the Japanese squadron leader said, "Send someone out to see the situation!" ”

The little devils who received the order, although they were a little unwilling, but the little devils of a small detachment could only come out of the town with courage. walked to the place where he was beaten before, and soon a little devil triggered the trick set by Hu Minyi before leaving.

After killing and injuring several people, the scouting imp hurried back to the town and informed him that there were no torches on the road. Hearing this news, the Japanese squadron leader knew that he had finally secured Beizhuang, but he could not pursue the main force of the Shina Army passing by the town!
