Chapter 372: Two Battlefields Inside and Outside
Last night, after thinking about it all night, Zhao Shixun finally made up his mind to come to a fire to grab food from the tiger's mouth, snatch the military ticket from the devil's mouth, and then get the materials from Li Hongyi to let the independent detachment continue to survive in Heng County.
However, in order to complete this plan, Zhao Shixun knew very well that it was not feasible to rely on the strength of a few people alone, and even if the power of the Heng County underground party was added, it was far from enough to complete the task.
To this end, he decided to use the forces of the separate detachment and carry out a complex and elaborate plan of raids.
……
Two days later, in the middle of the night, it was located in a farmhouse on the southern outskirts of Hengxian County.
After five hours of discussion, Zhao Shixun and He Zhendong finally finalized the final plan of action, and then gathered the main responsible persons of several operations together again.
Sitting at the table, Zhao Shixun looked at the few people who were doing it, got up and put a map that had been prepared long ago in front of everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, for this operation to snatch the military tickets of the Bank of East Asia in Heng County, Staff Officer He and I have formulated a specific action plan after careful study."
Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun pointed to the location of Heng County on the map.
"Given the strength of the Japanese puppet army in the city, we are limited in numbers and weapons that we can infiltrate the city. Therefore, this operation will be divided into two battlefields, inside and outside, at the same time.
The battlefield on the outer front is responsible for feints to attack strongholds, attract the reinforcement of the Japanese puppet army in the city, and then weaken the strength of the Japanese puppet army in the city. The battlefield on the inner line is mainly responsible for the robbery and evacuation of the bank.
”
After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun rubbed his head that was a little painful, sat down with a tired face, and pointed to He Zhendong beside him and said:
"Next, Staff Officer He will explain to you some specific arrangements for external operations."
Hearing that Zhao Shixun asked him to be responsible for introducing the outside battle plan, He Zhendong was a little surprised, but he still stood up calmly.
Looking at the Dapeng people who were doing it, he cleared his throat.
"Colleagues, whether we can succeed in snatching the Bank of East Asia in Hengxian County of the Japanese army this time depends on whether we can attract the main force of the Japanese puppet army in the county.
”
Speaking of which, he pointed to a point on the map and continued:
"Considering the location of the nearby strongholds from the county seat and the allocation of troops, plus the speed and strength of the surrounding Japanese puppet army.
Captain Zhao and I finally decided, and the location of this feint attack was chosen in the stronghold of Shangguan Village, which was less than twenty miles away from the county seat. ”
……
"Shangguan Village? We fought that stronghold a few months ago, and there were nearly two platoons of puppet troops and more than a dozen devils stationed there. ”
Hearing this, Shunzi looked at He Zhendong and scratched his head, and added in a low voice.
"What are you afraid of, with the current strength of our detachment, let alone two platoons, even the two dogs of a company are not enough to fight!"
Seeing that Junko was a little worried, Dapeng immediately said indifferently.
"Alright...... Let's listen to Staff Officer He talk about the specific arrangements first, and then bring back other things. Also, remember to raise your hand to report before you speak next time, and don't let me say it a second time! ”
Seeing that the two of them had forgotten the meeting discipline they had just emphasized, Zhao Shixun's face was a little unhappy.
Since He Zhendong came to the independent detachment, the construction of the regularization of the army has been put on the agenda by Zhao Shixun. Due to the increase in the number of troops, the casual meeting style of the past has been strictly forbidden by Zhao Shixun.
However, perhaps due to the short period of formalization, many of the rank and file commanders of the independent detachments have so far often forgotten the discipline of the meetings that have been repeatedly instructed.
Being reminded by Zhao Shixun, Dapeng and Shunzi hurriedly looked at He Zhendong, who was presiding over the meeting, and motioned to the other party to continue.
Unlike Zhao Shixun, who was a little angry, He Zhendong was unimpressed.
"What Brother Dapeng said just now is right, with the current strength of our detachment, it is indeed not difficult to storm and take the stronghold of Shangguan Village.
However, the main purpose of this siege of Shangguancun stronghold was to attract the main Japanese force in Heng County, so that the Japanese army could not fully besiege the troops in the city who had seized the Bank of East Asia. ”
Speaking of this, He Zhendong picked up a piece of information that had been prepared a long time ago.
"According to the reliable information we have received, the main garrisons in Hengxian County are a Japanese squadron of the gendarmerie that is not well organized, a puppet army of a company of the garrison, a squad of the detective team, and a squad of the anti-smuggling team.
The total strength of the above troops is more than 450 people, of which more than 120 are Japanese troops. ”
"Within 30 miles outside the city, there are fifteen strongholds of Japanese puppet armies, with more than 80 Japanese soldiers and nearly 300 puppet troops stationed respectively."
After the words were closed, He Zhendong put down the information in his hand, and then pointed to the map on the table and continued.
"Since the closing time of the Bank of East Asia in the city is five o'clock, according to the plan, the time for us to launch the attack will be three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the starting time of the team in the city will be twenty minutes after the Japanese puppet army has increased and left the city, that is, around four o'clock."
At this moment, Kiko, who was listening, raised her hand and asked in a low voice after getting permission.
"Staff Officer He, since the Devil's Bank will close at five o'clock, is it too late for us to launch an attack at three o'clock.
In case the devil troops didn't leave the county seat before five o'clock, wouldn't the brothers in the city have time to make a move before the gate closed? ”
"Yes, it's only two hours of time difference, and I'm too in a hurry."
Hearing this, Dapeng also took the opportunity to mutter.
Hearing this, looking at everyone's anxious eyes, He Zhendong raised his hand to signal everyone to be calm, and then calmly continued to explain:
"Company Commander Quan and Company Commander Zhang are right, we chose a little late in time."
……
"Full company commander? Kiko, your name is Jeon-hee...... Why haven't I ever heard you say that? ”
Hearing He Zhendong call Xizi Quan's company commander, Dapeng immediately glanced back at Xizi.
"......, you didn't ask me."
Speechless for a moment when asked by Xizi, Dapeng had to shrug his shoulders in embarrassment.
……
At this moment, Zhao Shixun, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, looked at everyone and explained:
"The reason why the time of the attack was set at 3 p.m. was mainly due to the problem of the feint troops taking advantage of the darkness to evacuate."
"Everyone knows that although the current combat effectiveness of our detachment has been greatly improved, we are still on the weaker side compared to the Japanese puppet army forces of this generation.
And since we are training the four companies and guarding the base area in Wolong Mountain, we can only use less than two companies of troops this time.
Therefore, the attack time will be selected at three o'clock. In this way, even if the Japanese reinforcements arrive, it will not be long before they can exchange fire with us.
When it gets dark, the covering troops can calmly withdraw to the mountains and disengage from the Japanese army, do you understand? ”
After listening to Zhao Shixun's explanation, everyone nodded in realization.
……
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhao Shixun immediately signaled He Zhendong to continue arranging the task.
"Full company commander! Commander Qi! ”
"Here!"
Hearing He Zhendong's voice, Xizi immediately stood up.
"You led the entire second company and an artillery detachment to enter the outer positions of Shangguan Village in the second half of the night, and concealed them on the spot after building improvised fortifications overnight."
"Yes!"
……
"Brother Junko."
"Here!"
"You lead a platoon of the third company to ambush on the road from Shangguan Village to Jiangxian after noon tomorrow, and if you find that a Japanese puppet army is coming from there, immediately open fire to delay the enemy's increase in strength."
"Yes!"
In this feint attack on the stronghold of Shangguan Village, Zhao Shixun and He Zhendong judged that there were two main directions for the increase of the Japanese puppet army, namely the direction of Hengxian from the east and the direction of Jiangxian from the north.
Among them, the direction of Hengxian in the east is mainly the Japanese puppet army stationed in the county seat, while in the north are two larger Japanese puppet army strongholds stationed on the road leading to Jiangxian direction. As for the Japanese troops in Jiangxian and Xia counties further north and west, Zhao Shixun estimated that even if they arrived by car, it would take at least six or seven hours. By that time, he would have already retreated into the mountains.
For the two northeast directions, combined with the time and distance issues, the direction of Hengxian is the main direction, and the direction of Jiangxian is supplemented.
"Three platoon commanders in three rows!"
"Here!"
"Your platoon, as a reserve, follow me into the Shangguan Village position, ready to support everywhere at any time."
"Yes!"
"Okay, now the arrangement of the feint attack force is over, and as for the specific actions in the city, Captain Zhao is responsible for personally arranging them."
The words were closed, He Zhendong sat down calmly, and Zhao Shixun slowly stood up.
Looking at the Dapeng people who were eager to try at the table, Zhao Shixun's gaze first rested on a man with a huge scar on the back of his head.
"Stone, this time into the city, you are responsible for leading ten spearheads to ambush near a grocery store at the south city gate. Once there is a fight on our side, you must take down the puppet army left behind on the south gate within fifteen minutes and open the passage for our retreat, understand?! ”
"Don't worry, the detachment leader, I can't take the South City Gate, I, Chen Lei, will come to see me!"
As a veteran who had just returned from injury and was appointed as the deputy company commander, and the first veteran of the pioneer regiment to follow Zhou Yu to Shenquan Village, Chen Lei was specially brought out by Zhao Shixun.
For this veteran nicknamed Stone, Zhao Shixun knew him when he first arrived in Shenquan Village. Later, this kid was taken away by Lao Wu to carry out a mission, and after being seriously injured and sent to the rear hospital for treatment, he has not been able to return to Shenquan Village.
What Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu didn't expect was that this kid didn't know if he had left sequelae after a brain injury, and since he returned to the vanguard regiment after recovering from his injury, he was like crazy every time he started a battle, and he rushed forward to die.
In this way, from the vanguard regiment to the establishment of a column, this kid was promoted from a private to a deputy company commander by virtue of his military exploits.
But it is precisely because of the reason that he does not want to die in the war, this kid was finally pushed to the end and became a soldier of the guard company because of many disobedience in the first column, and then along with the soldiers supporting the special service battalion, he was assigned to Nanyang Village.
It was also there that Zhou Yu, who reunited with him, took advantage of Yang Chenghu's debt to the independent detachment to dig up the kid after learning about the experience of the stone.
