Chapter 206: The Sneak Attack on Chinese New Year's Eve (2)
In order to try to choose the time when the Japanese puppet army's defense was the most lax, Li Ziyuan chose the time of the attack when the sky was dark. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ. According to his observations, this time should be the time when the puppet army is having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. At this time, it should be the period when the puppet army's defense is the most lax.
Li Ziyuan decided to first use the four squads of Liu Lianming's direct platoon to take advantage of the opportunity for the Japanese puppet army to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and take relatively lax precautions. Several fortifications on the periphery of the Fallen Horse were dealt with by means of infiltration, in particular, two machine-gun fire points that could block the offensive line from the east, and control the drawbridge of the blockade ditch.
The two platoons of the second company followed behind the platoon, and after the platoon had taken these two firing points and controlled the drawbridge over the blockade ditch, they immediately 'plunged' into the artillery tower in the stronghold with their main forces. Li Ziyuan's order to Liu Lianming was to clear the fire points outside the Luoma stronghold as much as possible without firing a shot, and seize the drawbridge on the blockade ditch to open the offensive route.
If the first step can be successfully completed without alarming the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold, then immediately control the artillery tower with the largest number of puppet troops stationed before the Japanese puppet army reacts. The daily distribution of the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold of the fallen horse, Li Ziyuan had already 'touched' it very clearly when he was reconnoitring some time ago.
He knew that there was a squadron of the pseudo-garrison of the Fallen Horse stronghold, except for a few fortifications on the periphery. Most of the living forces are stationed in the turret. On weekdays, the Japanese army was usually stationed in a bungalow under the turret. Unless there is an enemy attack, it is generally not allowed to enter the turret for the night.
And today's situation is very special, a small squad of Japanese troops stationed in the stronghold of Luoma has only a detachment of twelve people left. The rest of the troops were already on the 28th of the month and were transferred back to Hubei County. At present, the enemy troops stationed in the stronghold of Luoma are still mainly pseudo-garrisons. It is precisely for this reason that Li Ziyuan chose to start with the stronghold.
Li Ziyuan's order to Liu Lianming was clear and unambiguous, and Liu Lianming, who accepted the order, did not hesitate to act. He led four squads of his direct platoon, with the cooperation of the machine guns of the fire platoon behind him. Along the two flanks to the east of the fallen horse, we 'touched' the periphery of the blockade ditch. Avoid the searchlights on the tower of the fallen horse artillery, and take a human ladder to cross the blockade ditch at the blind spot of the puppet army guard post.
At this time, the smell of 'meat' coming from the Japanese puppet military camp made several soldiers of the garrison who were in charge of standing guard outside the stronghold feel like cats biting in their hearts. Although he was walking around with a gun on his back, his eyes kept slipping behind him, and his mind was not on standing guard at all.
Although these puppet soldiers have become puppet guards, they have a stable salary and food every month. The reason why these local puppet armies under the command of the Japanese army in various places were able to recruit soldiers was except for those who wanted to take the opportunity to join the Japanese in order to gain glory and wealth by taking a half-official position.
Relying on the monthly distribution of food and military salaries, coupled with the forced dispatch of the national army, it attracted some people to participate. In the era of war and chaos, human life is not as good as that of dogs. Being able to find a job that pays you every month and can support your family is even difficult to get to the sky in some places.
For some people who don't know a single big word and don't understand the truth of saving the country at all. As a soldier in the puppet garrison, you can get enough military pay and food to support your family on a monthly basis, which is more powerful than any 'temptation' and 'confusion'. What's more, every time you belong to the Japanese army, you can still make some foreign money when you go to the countryside to sweep the 'sweep'.
So although being a puppet army is not an honorable thing, for some people, it is undoubtedly a helpless choice. In some areas, the recruitment of puppet garrisons is even easier than that of the Eighth Route Army under the 'temptation' and 'confusion' of salaries in some areas.
Although the reputation of the Eighth Road is better, it is too bitter over there. Not only is he unable to support his family without a military salary, but he also has to march and fight all day long. If you go out to be a soldier alone, what will happen to your wife and children? In addition, the Japanese faction to the families of the Eight Roads also makes many people have concerns about participating in the Eight Routes.
After all, the great principles of resisting Japan and saving the country are still a little far away for them, the small people in the countryside. How to support themselves and their families in this 'chaotic' world is more real for them. Although I don't think it's a good thing, it's easier for them to accept.
However, although the puppet army can receive food and military salaries every month, the food on weekdays is vegetables and radishes, and the staple food is mainly coarse grains, and 'meat' is rarely seen or not at all. Add some tofu and vermicelli to the dish, and eat a meal of mixed noodles steamed buns, which can be regarded as improving your life.
Fine grains such as white flour are only eligible for Japanese people. Meat such as 'chicken', duck, fish, 'meat' and 'chicken' eggs are also the treatment that only the Japanese have, and the puppet army can only watch people eat it on weekdays. I ate whole grains over there, chewing green vegetables and turnips.
Today's Chinese New Year, the Japanese, who have always eaten only alone in this regard, are very stingy with these puppet soldiers. Maybe it's to win over these newly formed pseudo-garrisons, or to boost the morale of the pseudo-Hubei County garrison that has suffered heavy losses before, so as to win over these people to work harder.
I don't know if it was forcibly requisitioned or purchased through the Chamber of Commerce. For the puppet troops in the strongholds of Luoma, Qiaokou and Pingchuan, each stronghold was distributed a pig and a sheep, plus three 'chickens' and twenty bags of crude white noodles, as well as a basket of 'chicken' eggs, and even an additional month's military salary.
These things make the puppet army, which is also rare to see on weekdays, naturally already salivate, and now there is still the heart to stand guard here. While secretly scolding himself for being so unlucky, he was assigned to stand guard at this time. While praying that the brothers who ate first would not rob too fiercely, they would save some for themselves.
Because they knew that after the pigs and sheep were killed, the best part would be picked up by the chiefs first, and it would be good if half of the "meat" left for the brothers would be left. There are more than 100 guards in the entire fallen stronghold, and the remaining half of the 'meat' is enough for these wolves who have been staring at these 'meat' for a long time to snatch it? How can a sentinel who has a floating mind to be vigilant?
As for the puppet army guarding the searchlight in the turret, his thoughts are similar to those of these people. The searchlight was pointed in the direction of the guerrilla zone of the Eighth Route Army in the east, and it did not turn the direction for half a day. In addition to the bright lights at the turret, only a lone lamp in the courtyard was half-lit.
Several puppet army sentries were in a state of desperation and sleepwalking, which naturally facilitated Liu Lianming's actions. Avoiding the sight of the puppet soldiers standing guard at the 'gate' of the fallen horse, he used the bolt cutters in his hand to pinch the barbed wire. Liu Lianming, with his own troops, easily 'touched' the two machine-gun fire points in the east.
It was only when Liu Lianming 'touched' the two machine gun firing points that he found that except for a person who was napping with a "strong" machine gun, the others had already run to the gun tower to wait for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Liu Lianming did not show the slightest politeness, and after stunting the left-behind personnel cleanly, he firmly tied up this unlucky guy with a rope.
Easily solve the left-behind personnel, Liu Lianming's soldiers divided into two ways, one squad to solve the suspension bridge entrance, the few puppet army sentinels who were wandering the world, put down the suspension bridge to meet the large army. He took the remaining three squads to divide into two routes, one directly to the Luoma Gun Tower, and the other to the house that served as a barracks for the Japanese army in the other direction
。 When Liu Lianming cautiously used a bayonet to open the 'door' hidden in the turret. But I heard that the inner layer was lively at this time. The puppet army inside was shouting five and six, ready to start eating a big meal, and was still urging the gang again and again with scolding.
After a general observation through the crack in the 'door', except for a few puppet troops standing guard, almost all the puppet troops in the fallen stronghold are now concentrated here. Several rifles were set up in a mess on the gun racks on the wall, and grenades and cartridge belts were hung alongside. Except for an officer with a pistol, the rest of the puppet army had no guys around.
Seeing that the puppet army inside was basically defenseless, Liu Lianming, who knew that he didn't have much time left, did not kick open the 'door' politely, holding a grenade with the safety cover in his hand, and rushed directly into the turret. Behind him, a squad of soldiers with a short gun and two grenades also rushed into the turret by taking advantage of the big 'door' kicked open by Liu Lianming.
There was a commotion inside, shouting about the puppet guards who were too slow to move in the room. Liu Lianming, who was rushed in, holding a grenade in one hand and a fast and slow machine with a wide open nose in the other, and a fully armed squad beside him, all of whom were also equipped with soldiers, were all frightened.
Seeing that he had shocked the puppet army, Liu Lianming motioned to another squad of soldiers behind him, and immediately went upstairs to clear out the other puppet soldiers left behind on the turret. However, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and almost all the pseudo-security personnel in the fallen stronghold are concentrated in the most spacious part of the artillery tower, which also serves as the bottom floor of the canteen on weekdays.
Except for a puppet soldier who '' the searchlight on the top of the turret, and an unarmed puppet soldier left next to the phone, there was no one left in the other parts of the turret. A "Ting" Meiji 38-year-old heavy machine gun that "shot" the holes, and even covered it with a gun jacket.
Liu Lianming was very relaxed and 'touched' into the gun tower of the puppet army. But the troops who 'touched' the Japanese barracks over there had an accident. Just when Liu Lianming commanded the soldiers and tied up all the puppet troops. A crisp gunshot in the direction of the Japanese barracks woke up the entire fallen stronghold that was still immersed in the Chinese New Year's Eve.
At about the same time as the gunshot, the sound of a grenade explosion was heard. Hearing the gunfire of the Type 38 rifles that rang out from the side of the Japanese barracks, the puppet garrison in front of them, which had already been disarmed, was also a little stupid. There were a few people who didn't give up trying to 'touch' the rifle on the side, and the pseudo-squadron leader also secretly 'touched' his own holster.
Because he was often sent out by Li Ziyuan to carry out reconnaissance missions, Liu Lianming was already extremely familiar with this aspect. The gunfire in the direction of the Japanese barracks only made his eyes roll slightly. And the reaction of the puppet army here after the guns fired by the Japanese army was also expected by him.
For those pseudo-guards who tried to 'touch' the fish in troubled waters and wanted to take the opportunity to resist, Liu Lianming was not polite at all. The fast and slow machine that was always held in his hand raised a few shots, directly knocking down the puppet squadron leader who wanted to pull out the gun, and the puppet soldier who wanted to 'touch' the rifle on the side.
Now that the guns have been fired on the side of the Japanese barracks, Liu Lianming has no scruples about shooting here. Liu Lianming immediately killed two people directly, plus the muzzle of the gun in the hands of the soldiers beside him. Let those puppet soldiers who are still stupid 'want' move, seeing that Liu Lianming really fired without the slightest politeness, they immediately became honest again.
After commanding the squad leader to tie up all these puppet soldiers with ropes in the turret, Liu Lianming rushed to the Japanese barracks that were still firing fiercely at the moment with a 'strong' barrel machine gun found in the turret. At this time, Li Ziyuan commanded the main force and also rushed into the fallen stronghold from the drawbridge that was taken.
