Chapter 637: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Obviously, the Japanese commander would not have told Liao Jundong the answer. But Liao Jundong knew that the business was not lost, but earned, according to Liao Jundong's estimate, they could at least exchange for 50,000 prisoners of war from the Japanese army, and there may be more, but it depends on whether the little devil abides by the agreement between them.
The two of them began to negotiate the truce between the two sides again, of course, the truce does not exist for Liao Jundong at all, as long as the little devil is still on Chinese soil, there will be no day of truce.
……
Five days ago, Shen Zhengwen decided not to be sneaky, but to stand up openly, directly ate a Japanese army in front of them, and led the troops into Weishan Lake. One of the lakes that Shen Zhengwen saw on the map was Weishan Lake.
Weishan Lake is covered with reeds, but there is an island in the middle, which is large enough for the mine protection team to hide on the island. Moreover, Weishan Lake was close to the Japanese army's railway line, and they were able to get the supplies they wanted from the Japanese army's railway line.
After a hard battle, the mine protection team broke through the Japanese blockade and entered Weishan Lake.
In spring, the lake is turquoise, with a few water ducks splashing on the water, and the water is sparkling under the sunset.
This afternoon, Shen Zhengwen counted the number of troops, and there were less than 2,000 wounded soldiers in his hands, and more than 1,000 people had died on the road, not even a single corpse collector.
Although the troops won the battle and were replenished, the morale of the troops began to gradually decline, because there was no end to this battle, and they had to be mentally stressed at all times to cope with the battle that could occur at any time.
The warriors were tired and wanted to sleep comfortably, but the little devils around them stared at them like hungry wolves, making them feel like they were going to pounce at any moment.
The small island on Weishan Lake temporarily provided a peaceful environment for the soldiers, but the Japanese army had blocked Weishan Lake, and the gunboats of the little devils were patrolling the lake non-stop, and the soldiers could only fight hard and lie down in the position to support.
Many officers couldn't understand why Shen Zhengwen wanted to enter Weishan Lake, this was completely self-defeating, Weishan Lake was now surrounded by the Japanese army, and there were strong enemies all around, and it was not as good as their original situation.
Just when everyone questioned Shen Zhengwen, but this time Shen Zhengwen was extremely calm.
"I am the commander, everyone must listen to me, I promise to take you to find a way to live, if you all die in battle, I will not survive, I am willing to go to Huangquan with my brothers!"
At this time, Shen Zhengwen did not allow others to question his orders, and now all the soldiers and officers of the mine protection team needed was obedience, absolute obedience.
Now the mine protection team is facing a desperate situation, and there can only be one voice in the troops, either close or retreat. Of course, not all of them had a strong will, and just last night when they were fighting the little devils, a platoon commander defected with his brothers.
This platoon commander wanted to go to the little devils, and the little devils would provide them with good food and drink. But the platoon commander was wrong, and in order to break the will to fight of the soldiers of the mine protection team, the Japanese army tied the soldiers of this platoon to the patrol gunboat this morning and stabbed them with bayonets until all the soldiers died of blood.
Originally, the little devil thought that this would break the will to fight of the mine protection team, but instead he did Shen Zhengwen a favor and united this unit on the verge of collapse, although the officers and soldiers didn't understand why Shen Zhengwen did this, but they didn't want to die like the brothers in that platoon.
As the sun sets, the lake becomes quiet. Except for the occasional rattling sound on the water, there was no more noise.
A company commander walked around the trench and kept patting the back of a passing soldier: "You go with me!" ”
Without any hesitation, the named soldier picked up his equipment and followed behind the company commander.
The company commander found a total of forty soldiers, they were the first echelon tonight, and they were going to face more than a dozen times the enemy.
In the dark night, there were flares on the opposite shore that streaked across the night sky, like meteors, and then fell, and the firelight flashed on the ground several times, and then gradually extinguished, and the heavens and the earth fell into darkness at one time.
The Japanese were well guarded, because they knew that the Chinese army they surrounded would definitely fight to the death with them, like a bound wild boar that would use all its brute force to harm a hunter.
However, Shen Zhengwen is not a wild boar, even if he is a wild boar, he is also a wild boar with wisdom. He believed he would be able to escape, and he didn't know it.
Although the weather is already very warm, the lake water at night makes people unconsciously stir up. But the chosen warrior did not hesitate at all, and still got into the water and began to dive towards the opposite shore.
Shen Zhengwen gathered all the troops and gathered all the boats they rowed from the opposite bank, and as long as the gunshots rang out on the opposite bank, they would take the boat and row to the opposite bank as fast as possible.
The fighters clenched their fists nervously, and the minutes and seconds passed, and they were waiting for orders, they could not make mistakes, they could not fall behind, because this would only lead to their death.
The company commander swam to the opposite shore with 40 soldiers, and the Japanese encirclement was about 200 meters away from the shore, and the soldiers began to crawl forward, and they had to get as close as possible to the Japanese positions before attacking the enemy.
In the dark, the soldiers could only estimate how far they were from the Japanese position. Luckily, however, it was quiet enough tonight that the soldiers who were crawling forward could clearly hear the Japanese soldiers talking in their positions.
The flares kept lit up and then extinguished in the distance, and the fighters followed the flares, and the Japanese troops in front of them did not fire a single flare after they landed on the river bank.
The fighters did not dare to be careless, because a single sound could reveal everyone's goals. Only with sufficient caution can the success of the troop operations be ensured.
With a "whoosh", a flare was fired into the sky, and the front of the Japanese position was as bright as day, and the Japanese soldiers standing guard clearly saw a person lying on his stomach less than a meter away from their position.
“*!”
At the moment when the flare was lifted into the air, the company commander shouted and threw it*.
"Boom Boom"
At such a close distance, even a small child can be thrown into the trenches of the little devils. With the continuous explosion of *, a scream came from the little devil trench.
"Rush!"
"Da Da Da"
The sound of gunfire and shouting was mixed together, and in the darkness, the Japanese army could not judge how many Chinese soldiers had infiltrated, they could only shoot blindly, and even two little devils began to fight bayonets face to face, and they couldn't distinguish between friend and foe at all.
"Let's go!"
Seeing the flames from the explosion on the Japanese position opposite, Shen Zhengwen ordered all the troops to set off.
The boat rushed to the opposite shore as fast as it could. What Shen Zhengwen needs is not the weak point of the Japanese encirclement, what he needs is that the Japanese army is in chaos, as long as the Japanese army is in chaos, they may take the opportunity to break through.
The two armies on the position were in a scuffle, although there were constantly flares fired into the sky on both sides of the engagement area, but such a large area could not play any role at all, especially after Shen Zhengwen joined the battle with his troops, the lighting effect of the flares completely lost its effect, and only the black shadows were seen fighting one by one, and then fell.
"Da Da Da"
I don't know when, Shen Zhengwen personally picked up a Japanese light machine gun and charged forward with the troops without looking back.
The Japanese commander did not let the troops support, because in the dark fighting, the more troops there were, the easier it was to create a situation where their own people were desperate with their own people, but the Japanese commander mobilized his troops and began to block the way of the mine protection team.
Half an hour later, only a few crisp gunshots and heart-rending screams of wounded soldiers could be heard in the darkness.
A force came from the darkness in the distance and began to clear the battlefield. Clearing the battlefield in the dark of night didn't seem like a wise choice, yet they did, and so seriously.
The Japanese commander only arranged for one brigade to stay in the position around Weishan Lake, and the other troops pursued in the direction of the mine protection team's breakthrough.
The morning sun rises, the surface of the lake is sparkling, the sunlight is reflected by the lake, and the people who reflect it can't open their eyes, and the wild ducks that frolicked on the water yesterday did not show their heads. Weishan Lake was as quiet as ever.
The Japanese captain looked at the boats on the lake, and he concluded that all the Chinese soldiers had fled. In order to ensure that there were no more Chinese soldiers on the small islands in the lake, the Japanese captain arranged for a squadron of troops to search the small islands in the lake.
Only the fortifications left by the Chinese army remained on the island, and not even a single bullet remained.
After some inspection, there was no one on the island, except for a few empty houses that fishermen usually come to fish.
"Send a telegram to the brigade commander that there are no Chinese troops on the island, and confirm that all the Chinese troops have fled last night!"
A day later, the Japanese withdrew all their forces around Weishan Lake, but the pursuing Japanese found no trace of the Chinese army, which disappeared under their noses at one time.
Night falls again, the moonlight is good tonight, and the lake reflects the moonlight, which is a poetic feeling. Two water ducks, who had disappeared for a day, were flirting on the water, when suddenly a boat sailed out of the reeds, disturbing the good times of the two of them, and the water ducks flapped their wings and disappeared into the dark reeds.
As the boat sailed out, the reeds behind the boat were removed, and then the boats continued to sail out and sail towards the island in the middle of the lake.
"The troops will repair on the island for two days, and after inquiring about the situation outside, we will prepare for evacuation!"
It turned out that it was the mine guards who had disappeared from under the noses of the Japanese army who had come out of the reeds, and they hid in the reeds in the lake for two days and one night, until they were sure that the Japanese troops had withdrawn from the surrounding area, and they came out of the reeds and re-landed on the island.
