Chapter 61: The guard platoon is a sharp knife
Xu Sandao and his party, who led the team around and infiltrated the city, wandered around the city disguised as ordinary people. Compared with Ju County, which is dozens of miles away, the scale of Lincheng is slightly larger. Even so, the little devil still sent a squadron to garrison.
For the Japanese army, which was attacking Nanjing with all its might at the moment and trying to force the Nationalist government to surrender, the forces available to them were really limited in order to support the battle on the northern and southern fronts. The more territory you occupy, the more troops you need to garrison.
Sending limited troops to these easily occupied counties will inevitably affect the front-line warfare of the Japanese army. The strength of a squadron, in the opinion of many Japanese generals, should be enough to maintain local stability and fight against the rebels.
Although the Japanese army also has a system for managing the occupied areas, at the moment there is still a fierce battle in the front, and the people in the occupied areas in the rear do not dare to stand in line easily. If the Japanese army is defeated, those who surrender to the little devils will inevitably be liquidated.
The little devils stationed in the county town may also see this clearly, and act more to maintain stability. Even if they recruit people to manage law and order for them, most of them choose those ruffians and hooligans who were not valued or even disgusted by the people in the past.
Most of these guys who usually like to bully good and fear evil are all characters who are rampant when they have their will. For these people, most of them don't know what the national righteousness is, they pay more attention to pomp and face, and are willing to act as thugs and dogs for the little devils.
Earlier, after receiving a request for help from Juxian, the Japanese squadron stationed in Lincheng immediately sent the main force out of the city. At this moment, in the county seat, there is only a small team of troops stationed in it. Even so, the atmosphere in the county still seems to be very calm.
After Xu Sandao and his entourage, who were in charge of reconnaissance, entered the city, they quickly reconnoitred these situations. Looking at the plainclothes teams running rampant on the streets with guns on their backs, Xu Sandao also said coldly: "When the big army goes out of the city, these guys must be severely punished!" ”
"Don't worry! These guys themselves are scum, and now there are little devils to support them, and they are naturally very rampant. When they kill those little devils, they will definitely cry and beg for mercy again. Wait to mention it to the battalion commander, you must not let them go. ”
Bullying the good and fearing the evil is the way of these people, and whoever has a big fist, they will listen to whomever they want. On the other hand, the good people in the city have always been the target of their bullying. With the support of the little devils, these people are even more unscrupulous.
If the anger of the people is too great, the little devils will also act as a judge, using the heads of these guys to appease the people who are bullied by them. Unfortunately, there aren't many people who can figure this out!
"Lao Hu, I will take my brothers to watch in the city, you hurry out of the city and tell the battalion commander about the situation. If the battalion commander has any latest instructions, we will still be in this teahouse. When you enter the city, remember to bring extra spears! ”
"Good! Then I'll go first, be careful yourself! ”
"Don't worry, we all have a guy in our waists, even if we meet a little devil, it's not a shame!"
patted the box cannon on his waist, Xu Sandao still felt very relieved. As scouts, Hu Biao equipped them with rifles, submachine guns, and box guns. This kind of weaponry is undoubtedly unique in the entire Snow Shame Camp.
The first advance to the city was afraid of attracting attention, so that everyone entered the city with only pistols. Even so, two box cannons per person, when they need to use guns, I believe that the firepower of Xu Sandao and others will make the little devil unable to bargain.
When Hu Minyi, the deputy platoon commander of the guard platoon, drove with two team members and quickly joined Hu Biao and his party. After listening to Hu Minyi's report and reading the reconnaissance location map drawn by Xu Sandao, Hu Biao quickly formulated a combat plan in his mind.
After a while, Hu Biao quickly said: "Minyi, are the forces of the little devils in the city very scattered?" ”
"Yes! During the previous reconnaissance, we saw the sentinels of the little devils at the city gates, the barracks, the prison, and the city guards. In order to find out the truth of the little devil, we also deliberately arrived to reconnoiter and confirm that the little devil's barracks were empty.
Judging from the reconnaissance situation, at this moment, Lin Cheng has only one squad of little devils at most. The rest of the armed forces are all plainclothes teams recruited by the little devils during this time. This plainclothes team was very angry in Lincheng and did a lot of bad things for the little devils. ”
Hu Minyi, who could have gone to the combat company to serve as the main platoon commander, was somewhat satisfied with Xu Sandao's recommendation to serve as the deputy platoon commander of the guard platoon. Although Xu Sandao was a soldier before, he was also promoted to second lieutenant in the later period.
In addition, Xu Sandao is Hu Biao's descendant, and he can be recommended to the guard platoon as the deputy platoon commander, Hu Minyi is still grateful. The most important thing is that Hu Minyi can see to some extent that Hu Biao attaches the most importance to the guard platoon.
The soldiers selected for the guard platoon are, without exception, soldiers with strong physique, good physical strength, and good marksmanship. In addition, the armament of the guard platoon is much stronger than that of the platoon-level units of the combat company. This deputy platoon commander, he is very satisfied.
"If you do something bad, you have to pay the price. Don't worry, after taking Lin City, we will rest in the city for a whole day. When the time comes, there will be time to clean them up. Hold a public trial to let those who want to take refuge in the little devil know the fate of the traitor's doglegs. ”
Saying this, Hu Biao continued: "Later, you continue to drive, take the remaining soldiers of the guard platoon, and bypass the city gate and sneak into the city. In the evening, I will personally lead people to deal with the sentries at the city gate, and then let the troops take over Lin City.
You, Lao Xu, and Lao Chen, each in charge of a small team, lurked near the barracks, prisons, and city guards. If you hear a dense burst of gunfire from outside the city, you will attack immediately. If the gun doesn't go off, then continue to lurk.
Especially on the prison side, you have to be extra careful. As you said earlier, the prison is supposed to hold a lot of prisoners of war who have been escorted from the front. These brothers, we must also rescue them, and we can't let the little devil dog jump off the wall in a hurry.
If there is an unexpected situation after the guards enter the city, the three of you can attack in advance. First the barracks, then the city guards, and finally the prison. The best way is to fight the barracks to attract the support of the little devils and then ambush them halfway. ”
The so-called 'plan is not as good as change', the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, Hu Biao is not on the front line, and he does not know what will happen next. In this case, he must give Hu Minyi and others the power to deal with the battlefield at the moment.
After listening to Hu Biao's battle plan, Hu Minyi also felt very moved. In the past, when the commander issued orders, more often than not, they were required to strictly implement the orders, and they were rarely given the right to execute on the spot.
Sometimes, there is a better fighting opportunity, but because of the rigid execution of combat orders, in the end it pays a heavy price. An enlightened officer like Hu Biao, Hu Minyi really hasn't met it. From another point of view, it is also to give him enough trust.
Thinking of this, Hu Minyi immediately saluted and said, "Please rest assured, the battalion commander, Xu Pai and I will firmly carry out your orders!" ”
"It's important to carry out orders, but I want you to stand alone. I have high expectations for the guard platoon, and as commanders, I hope that you can grow up as soon as possible. Time is pressing, so let's go! ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
As the order was issued, the guard platoon, which had quickly assembled, quickly set off in a car. As for the three cars seized earlier, two of them were placed in the logistics support company to transport supplies and the wounded.
Compared to walking, there is undoubtedly a faster speed to get around with a car. After Hu Minyi led people back to the outside of Lin City, hid the car, and personally took Chen Qiang and others who came to support, bypassing the sentries at the city gate and entering the city.
Considering the large number of people, Hu Minyi first sent someone to find Xu Sandao, and then the three of them discussed the next battle plan together. Compared with the previous reconnaissance of them in twos and threes, it was not very noticeable, and the number of people entering the city this time was a bit large.
The most important thing is that the guard platoons that came to converge this time were all wearing the military uniforms of the little devils. There are so many little devils who suddenly appear, and the little devils who stay in the city are afraid that they will also be suspicious. Once stopped by the little devils, they are easily exposed.
Xu Sandao and his entourage, who were waiting in the teahouse, quickly rushed to the hiding place of Hu Minyi and others. Seeing that the guard platoon was basically all over, Xu Sandao was also surprised and said, "Lao Chen, why are you here too?" ”
"The captain let us come! Tell me about it, what's going on in the city? ”
"Everything works! Lao Hu, what did the battalion commander say? ”
Xu Sandao, who directly asked Hu Minyi what Hu Biao's order was next, saw that Hu Biao sent the guard platoon over, and how much knew that the guard platoon would definitely be responsible for attacking Lin Cheng tonight. This kind of taste of being a sharp knife, he is still very happy!
Following Hu Biao's battles, Xu Sandao felt very enjoyable. Every time he saw the little devil wailing and dying under the gun, Xu Sandao would feel very comfortable. Even if it seems like a small fight, there are still a lot of little devils that can be eliminated cumulatively!
