Chapter 369: Cat and Mouse, Clever Attack on the Convoy

In the town of Lin'an. The street near Fangjia Yongan Hotel. The second half of the night.

Han Dagang ordered a soldier to lead the battlefield to participate in the Eighth Route Army's sixteen soldiers of the Imperial Association Army and eight men from the Yong'an Hotel to bring all their weapons and ammunition and immediately withdraw from the battle, enter the alley and walk back to the position outside the north gate of the town, and join the company to stand by. If you encounter a devil on the way out of town, you must hide and avoid it immediately, let alone exchange fire. Han Dagang also ordered the hotel guys who stayed behind for the time being and the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who were slightly injured to prepare to drop bombs, and he wanted to play a game of life and death with the Japanese army for a while at night.

After the deployment, Han Dagang stood behind a stout ancient tree on the side of the road, clinging to the trunk of the tree and holding a rifle with a 38 large cover to shoot accurately at the enemy. Then immediately crouch down, pull the bolt, exit the cartridge case, and then put the bullet on top and continue firing. Han Dagang stood up alone, squatted down, and shot repeatedly on the left and right sides of the ancient tree, alternating up and down, left and right, and changing positions. On the opposite side, the Japanese machine guns and rifles were swishing and dense bullets swept past the sides of the ancient tree and Han Dagang.

The Japanese found that the guns of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side were sparse and the offensive was weakened, and under the command of the officer, the devil soldiers bent over and bowed their backs alternately to cover the attack. The two sides are getting closer and closer.

When the Japanese army was about 40 meters away from Han Dagang, he put away his rifle and put it on his back, turned around and grabbed the crooked machine gun and lay on the ground, pulled the trigger and swept wildly at the devils who were attacking and advancing, suppressing the Japanese offensive. At the same time, he shouted: "Drop the bomb!" ”

More than twenty* were thrown at the same time, making a deafening explosion. Shrapnel flew sideways, air waves surged, and gunpowder smoke filled the air, completely blocking the Japanese attack.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! Come with me! Han Dagang ordered loudly.

Everyone followed behind Han Dagang and strode quickly, disappearing into the alley by the side of the road in an instant.

The waves of air disappeared, the smoke cleared, and the gunfire stopped. The Japanese soldiers cautiously searched and advanced, but did not see a single figure. Searching for the bullet casings on the ground, he chased them to the northwest, and didn't go far to find the corpses of several Imperial Army soldiers on the side of the road.

Six trucks loaded with two squads of Japanese troops drove out of the southern gate of the county seat of Lin'an County, and drove along the main road to Lin'an Town, which was more than ten miles to the south.

Seeing the lights of the trucks getting closer and closer to the north, Meng Dakui ordered the soldiers of the special column to immediately withdraw into the dense cornfields on both sides of the road to hide and wait, and strictly ordered that no sound should be made, and no shots should be fired without an order.

Six trucks rumbled past the ambush positions of the special column and continued to speed south.

"Huh? Commander Meng, why did you let the devil go so easily? Why don't you fight? The correspondent lying next to Meng Dakui lowered his voice and asked in confusion.

"Well, don't fight. Let the friendly forces in the south clean up these short-lived devils, our task is to hold off the devil infantry who will come in for a while. Meng Dakui whispered.

Fang Jiren led a special team of 38 people disguised as Japanese soldiers to the main road more than two miles south of the Nancheng Gate in Lin'an County to stop advancing, rest and wait. He also ordered several team members to dig a few pits in the middle of the road and bury them, and Francis tiptoed to the north.

In a short time, in the far north, four Japanese trucks loaded with supplies lined up in front and behind, flashing bright lights, rumbled from north to south, from far and near. Francis immediately ordered the special team to stand and run in two teams on both sides of the road. Franciscan also ran in place. The Japanese convoy was getting closer and closer, and when it was less than 300 meters away, Francis ordered the team to follow him and run fast against the truck.

When they were still 80 or 90 meters away from the moving convoy, Francis ordered the team to stop and line up on both sides of the road to prepare for battle. Everyone was sweating and panting, but everyone was in good spirits. At the same time, Franciscan saw clearly that there were four trucks, and he said loudly: "When you see me waving my left hand three times, you immediately divide into four combat groups and step on the trucks separately, standing one-on-one or two-on-one by the guards, ready to do anything." As soon as the truck stops, it will immediately take action, kill with one move, and never show mercy. With that, Fang Jiren stood in the middle of the road and raised his right hand at the first truck that drove by, signaling to stop. Fang Lusheng stood beside Fang Jiren, holding two palm-long and sharp flying knives in his right hand behind his back.

The Japanese second lieutenant, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the cab of the first truck, saw an officer with the rank of second lieutenant in front of him raising his hand to stop the car, and saw a group of heavily armed Imperial soldiers standing on both sides of the road, and immediately ordered the driver to stop, but not to turn off the fire or lights. Then, with his left hand, he reached out of the window and slapped the roof three times. The machine gunners standing in the back compartment pulled the bolt of the machine gun on the roof of the car with a clatter, and at the same time told the four soldiers in the carriage in Japanese that there was a situation and that they were ready to fight.

The second lieutenant quickly pulled out the * bolt and loaded the bullet, held the pistol tightly in his right hand, and then poked his head out of the left window and asked loudly in Japanese what was going on? Where are you troops? Why stop the convoy here late at night?

Franciscan hurried to the door on the left side of the truck in the bright and dazzling light, raised his hand to the second lieutenant, and then said to the second lieutenant in standard proficient Japanese:

"Lin'an Town was attacked by a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army, our army is fighting hard, and Lin'an Town is in danger. Hegu Shaozo specially ordered me to lead a small team of Imperial warriors to come to the armed response, to absolutely protect the safety of you and your supplies, and if necessary, maybe to take a detour to Lin'an Town, in case of a sneak attack by the elusive Eighth Route Army on the road. ”

"Oh? No wonder the third watch suddenly ordered us to transport supplies to Lin'an Town in the middle of the night. Feed! Take out your documents and the order letter from Hegu Shaozo and give it to me. ”

"Yes, all of them." Fang Jiren raised his right hand, took out the Japanese officer ID card that Takagi Hirotomo had prepared for him in advance, and the order letter signed by Hiroshi Kawatani from the upper left pocket of his military jacket and handed it to the second lieutenant.

After the second lieutenant took it, he turned on the overhead light in the cab, carefully read the documents and orders twice, then nodded and relieved his doubts, and said, "Shout, order your soldiers to get into the car immediately." You get in the car too. With that, the second lieutenant opened the door and let Francis get into the car and motioned for him to sit by the outside door.

Francis raised his left hand high and waved at the special squad three times, and the team of thirty-seven immediately divided into four combat teams when they saw the order to act, and with quick movements, they stepped into the cabs and rear compartments of the four trucks, and the members of the carriages stood on either side of the four devil guards.

At the same time that Fang Jiren stepped into the cab, Fang Lusheng quietly put away his flying knife and pedaled onto the truck with the 38 big cover rifle on his back, standing beside the devil machine gunner.

The convoy started and continued to move forward, and when it was more than 200 meters away, Francis shouted:

"Parking! Stop it! There is a * in front! ”

The devil driver slammed on the brakes, and the three cars behind him braked and stopped at the same time.

Due to inertia, the Japanese second lieutenant and the driver uncontrollably lowered their heads and leaned forward when they suddenly braked suddenly. As soon as it was too late, Fang Jiren swung his right palm and slashed at the back of the head of the second lieutenant sitting on his right side, and then turned his palm into an iron fist and slammed into the left temple of the devil driver. The two devils passed out silently.

At the same time, the members of the special squad worked together to kill the enemy with their bare hands, and the soldiers were bloodless, and the Japanese soldiers were wiped out cleanly.

Francis opened the car door and pulled the devil captain and the driver out of the car. Commanded loudly:

"All of them! Pull all the devils out of the car for me, take off the military uniform, collect weapons and ammunition, carefully inspect the materials in the car, and prepare to evacuate. Fast! Move fast! ”
