Chapter Ninety-Seven: Infiltrating Runzhou City
In the early hours of the morning, the guard platoon of the Snow Shame Battalion, which had rested all night in the mountains, embarked on the journey again under the leadership of Hu Biao. Although the humidity in the early morning was a bit heavy, there was no time for the guard platoon that was about to rush to Runzhou City.
Before leaving, Hu Biao had already said that they had to reach the outside of Runzhou before dark. After a night's rest, they reconnoitred the city of Runzhou, determined the follow-up battle plan, and attacked the next night.
The primary combat target is the war materials stored by the Japanese army in Runzhou City, and the second is the defending troops that fight the little devils. No matter what combat objective you want to accomplish, it will be a big challenge for the soldiers of the guard platoon.
According to the information provided by the military commander's intelligence station in Runzhou City, in the process of occupying Runzhou City, the Japanese army burned, killed, raped, and committed all kinds of evil, and tens of thousands of innocent civilians fell under the guns of the little devils, causing the originally prosperous Runzhou to cry everywhere.
The Japanese army, which had just occupied Runzhou City, still adopted a high-pressure posture to suppress the remaining local resistance. Any civilians who dare to disobey the Japanese army will be ruthlessly slaughtered by the Japanese army, and Runzhou City can also be described as a rumor.
Before leaving, in front of the soldiers of the guard platoon, Hu Biao read out the statistics sent by the military intelligence officer, and said in a deep tone: "Brothers, blood debts need to be repaid in blood, this time we go to Runzhou City, we want to recover this blood debt for the people!" ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
No matter how hard-hearted people are, when they hear this number representing a piece of fresh life, they can't help but be filled with righteous indignation. Even if this trip to Runzhou City, some people may not be able to come back. can be used as a soldier, and dying on the battlefield is also the best destination.
Although Nanjing was the ruling capital of the Nationalist Government, the capital of Suzhou Province during the Republic of China was actually Runzhou City. Relying on the wharf set up in the early years, it was also a gathering place for foreign merchants to dump foreign goods, and the commercial trade was extremely prosperous.
The port of Runzhou City even has the reputation of 'Golden Wharf' in the Republic of China. With the invasion of the Japanese army, the prosperity of Runzhou City came to an end overnight. Even foreigners doing business in Runzhou did not want to get involved in this war.
According to the information provided by the military commander, the wharf of Runzhou Port has now become the backyard of the Japanese army. A large number of Japanese inland river ships and cargo ships surrounded this port, and it became an important transportation port for the Japanese army to plunder transportation resources.
Knowing these circumstances, Hu Biao also planned to blow up the port. Anyway, this port is basically useless for the local people, so it is better to completely destroy it. Even if the little devil wants to rebuild, it will cost the little devil a huge amount of manpower and material resources.
Holding a map of the entire territory of Runzhou captured from the Japanese army, Hu Biao quickly advanced along the railway line. Many times, Hu Biao marched around the railway. If you can take the mountain road, you can take the mountain road, and if you can't take the mountain road, you can take the railway.
When taking the railway, Hu Biao would also send a reconnaissance squad headed by Xu Sandao to do reconnaissance for the follow-up marching troops. The troops marched in two on the railway line, and as long as they did not meet head-on, no one could see their true identities.
At this moment, the soldiers of the guard platoon, without exception, are all wearing clean little devil uniforms, and their weapons and equipment are also Yishui's Japanese-style equipment. Even if the people occasionally see it, they will be frightened and quickly dodge, for fear of colliding with these 'imperial troops'.
According to Hu Biao's prior explanation, if anyone approached, they would be expelled. It's not to be overbearing, it's to not want to reveal your whereabouts. No one knows, these people met on the road will be spies of little devils?
There was such a big mess ahead, and the little devil is estimated to be pouring out of the nest now, looking around for the whereabouts of Hu Biao and his party!
Thankfully, I didn't run into the little devil's search team along the way. Even after the railway was blown up in front, the little devil's attention to the railway seemed to be much looser than before, and Hu Biao and his party arrived safely outside Runzhou City.
Before entering the city, Hu Biao looked at the railway outside the city, and suddenly said: "Three knives, let the brothers prepare tools, let's plant some bombs here." When retreating and breaking through, this trap should be used! ”
"Yes, Captain!"
In Hu Biao's opinion, this time they entered the city just to cause trouble and destruction, and they would not stay in Runzhou City for a long time at all. Once the battle began, Hu Biao had to take the guard platoon and take advantage of the chaos in the city to lead the troops out of the city to evacuate.
When the time comes, there should be little devils following and chasing. Setting up an explosion trap in advance can also effectively block the pursuit speed of the little devil and give you more time to evacuate. At worst, it can blow up this railway.
In this case, there will be an extra section of the railway that needs to be rebuilt by the little devils. Launching an invasion is more of a little devil who plunders resources, and when it is their turn to pay for supplies, I believe they will also feel pain.
After arranging the explosion trap, Hu Biao found a relatively hidden hillside outside the city, and led Xu Sandao and his party to camp on the spot to rest. While the troops were camping, Hu Biao turned on the radio to contact the Snow Shame Camp.
Knowing that everything was still normal in the Snow Shame Camp today, Hu Biao also seemed relieved. still warned Xu Mingzhi that he must not be careless, and must be vigilant against the plainclothes team sent by the little devils, as well as the bandits active in the mountains.
In addition, a group of soldiers with good marksmanship were selected from the main company of the Snow Shame Battalion, all of whom changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and guarded the surrounding area of the camp in the form of bandits. If someone tries to approach, they will be detained first.
This may not be delayed for too long, at least it will make the little devil scratch his head. In the era of war and chaos, many people who can't survive many days will choose to take risks and go into the mountains to become bandits and do this kind of business without capital.
It should be normal for there to suddenly be an extra group of bandits. As for the main force of the Snow Shame Camp, they still stayed in the camp to rest and recuperate, and they were not allowed to go out if they had nothing to do. In that case, you won't be able to be discovered.
When Xu Mingzhi asked when Hu Biao would return, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "If you want to go back to the mountain the night after tomorrow at the earliest." As for the exact timing, it is not yet possible to say for sure. Before I went back, the troops were on standby! ”
After contacting the Snow Shame Battalion, it is still inevitable to contact the military commanders. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "Zhao Xian, can you contact the local military intelligence station?" ”
"Yes! It's just that at this time, I'm afraid it will alarm the little devils. In the past two days, the little devils of the Runzhou Special High School are searching for our intelligence officers all over the city. Activate the radio, it's easy to be exposed! ”
"Contact first! If you can't get through, just ask your bureau seat if you can give a joint code and use it to contact you when you enter the city tomorrow. Having a guide will be of great help to us in the next attack. ”
"Good! Then I'll try! ”
As a result, it was clear that the military radio station in Runzhou City was in a state of silence. When the telegram was sent to the military commander, Dai Li also said very simply: "Send them the contact address and the connector code." These guys are fast! ”
In Dai Li's view, Hu Biao is indeed a bit bold. Just grabbed the army column of the little devils, provoked the little devils to mobilize the army, and transferred an infantry wing from the front line to encircle and suppress. Hu Biao was good, and ran to the rear of the little devil again.
But Dai Li still knows that if Hu Biao can really make Runzhou City a mess, I believe Lao Jiang will also be very happy. As a military commander who cooperates with one side, the credit is naturally indispensable. What happened in Runzhou, Lao Jiang was also extremely indignant.
It's a pity that he can't even hold Nanjing now, so how can he talk about retaking Runzhou? Even in the past two days, Lao Chiang was gathering his senior generals to prepare a new round of defensive battle plans, and Nanjing was afraid that it would not be able to hold it.
After receiving the connector address and code message from the military commander, Hu Biao was also very satisfied: "Turn off the radio, and you will accompany me into the city tomorrow." In any case, you are also a person within the military command, and it is more convenient for you to follow some things. ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
The temporary rest camp was set up, and the soldiers of the guard platoon, under the arrangement of Xu Sandao and Hu Minyi, performed their duties and were responsible for guarding and making dinner. After dinner, Hu Biao called the cadres of the squad platoon for a meeting.
After arranging tomorrow's reconnaissance mission, everyone returned to their tents one after another to rest until the sun dawned the next day. Unfortunately, the weather didn't seem to be good the next day, and it started to rain early in the morning.
Looking at the fog floating in the valley, Hu Biao said expectantly: "I hope this weather can last until tomorrow!" ”
If there is fog in the mountains, then there is a good chance that the river will also be foggy. At that time, it should be easier to attack the storage of supplies by the river. The raiding team, which was less than fifty people, was inconspicuous when it entered the city.
Besides, on today's reconnaissance mission, it is impossible for Hu Biao to put everyone into the city. The only ones who really went into the city to reconnoitre, Hu Biao, Xu Sandao and Hu Minyi, each led a reconnaissance team into the city.
Hu Biao was responsible for liaising with the people of the military command, Xu Sandao was responsible for reconnoitring the garrison of the little devil in the city, Hu Minyi led people to disguise themselves as coolies and went to the port to find out the situation of the little devil's defense and vigilance, and the rest stayed in the camp to standby.
If all goes well, someone will go out of the city before evening to lead the rest of the warriors into the city. After nightfall, the battle will begin in the city. As for how to fight this battle, we have to scout before making a decision!
