He Sanliang's voice fell, and the platoon commander pondered for a moment and said, "Chief of Staff, I have no problem carrying out your orders." But I would like to ask for advice, I have brought twenty shells, how much am I allowed to use in this battle? If I can light, I can create better facilities for the attacking troops. ”

Regarding the platoon commander's words, He Sanliang patted this guy on the shoulder and said, "Do you think that I am the kind of person who only cares about ammunition and ignores the lives of soldiers?" I approve you can light them all, but you kid give me the control points. Don't get to the critical moment, you kid don't have any more shells. At least until the battle is over, you'll have to leave me with five shells. ”

Speaking of this, He Sanliang stuffed his telescope into the arms of this artillery platoon commander: "The magnification of my telescope is higher than that of your Japanese non-commissioned officer telescope. With this telescope in hand, you are observing the enemy situation in the village and estimating the most valuable targets. But remember that if the guns don't go off, your mortars will keep me silent. ”

"But as soon as the gun goes off, your boy's mortar must be fired for me at the first time. And, you have to give me the starting shots. If you do a good job, I will ask you for credit with the regiment commander and political commissar. If you don't fight well, not only will the credit be gone, but I will also punish you. Because you can't hit such a big target, you can only say that you kid is not good at learning. ”

Taking the telescope stuffed by He Sanliang, the young artillery platoon commander smiled and didn't answer anything. Carrying this eight-fold telescope and carrying his mortar, he ran towards the hill where he had observed before. Looking at this guy's back, He Sanliang shook his head and didn't say anything.

As chief of staff, He Sanliang has always been extremely strict in his sense of time for the troops' actions. He said that if he left half an hour for the two company commanders to convey the battle plan, he would definitely not give a minute more. Cadres at all levels are also aware of his habit, and the cadres who follow him do not have any dragging.

Half an hour later, two companies stood neatly in front of him. Looking at the troops standing in front of him, He Sanliang didn't talk nonsense. With a wave of his hand, he directly gave the order to set off. Receiving the order, the fighters of the two companies quickly attacked the starting point of their own and approached cautiously.

After the troops set off, He Sanliang held the Japanese army-standard 93-type telescope left by the artillery platoon commander to observe the direction of the troops in front. It's just that this telescope, which has a magnification of only four times, just stuck to the eye socket, He Sanliang felt extremely uncomfortable.

He Sanliang's telescope, which was the trophy of the raid on Changzhi City, was the best eight-fold two-type telescope in the Japanese army. Whether it is observation ability or other performance, it far surpasses the ninety-three type telescope that the Japanese non-commissioned officers are equipped with a large number of them, and only has a quadruple rate. He Sanliang, who is already accustomed to using a large-magnification telescope, will he be used to using this kind of telescope?

Putting down the quadruple telescope in his hand, He Sanliang rubbed his eyes that were a little astringent. laughed at himself in his heart, this is also used to living a good life, and now he is not used to suffering a little suddenly. Only then did he raise this military telescope, which may be the smallest magnification in the world, and looked forward.

And the troops in front of them also cautiously touched forward little by little. Before this battle, in terms of tactical training, He Sanliang's focus was to train the troops to use companies and platoons as a formation to carry out infiltration operations when attacking fortified positions. After all, in the absence of firepower cover, the more troops can attack the enemy and engage the enemy, the more they can achieve the suddenness of the battle.

For the puppet army in the village, this village is just a temporary night rest area during their march. That is, no permanent fire points were arranged, and no trenches were dug and roadblocks were erected. Although a certain number of mobile sentinels and firing points were also arranged, as well as corresponding warning positions. However, in practical terms, this tactic of multi-penetration is more suitable.

At least so far, this kind of infiltration tactics adopted by the troops are quite in line with the actual situation. At this moment, the Wang Puppet Second Front Army, which was stationed from Huguan and along the Huguan to Hubei Highway to the north, a main regiment headquarters and a battalion in the villages, revealed a strange tranquility.

At present, the time has reached 3:35 a.m., and the puppet officers and soldiers who have been marching in the village for several days are still making noise except for a house in the village. Most of them have already fallen asleep because of exhaustion. Even the sentries in the guard fortifications at the entrance of the village leaned against the trees with their guns and fell into a coma.

This time period is the time when everyone is most tired, and it is also the time when they are most sleepy. In the already hot weather, everyone couldn't bear the fatigue, and they couldn't sleep anymore. People in this era do not have digital smartphones, computers, nightclubs, and other nightlife.

There is no habit of those night owls in later generations who do not sleep at night and can't sleep during the day. Ordinary puppet soldiers are even less likely to carry gambling supplies such as mahjong or pai gow. When the time came, coupled with the exhaustion of the continuous march, everyone fell asleep. Anyway, the people of this village have already run out.

As for the Eighth Road, it has been more than a day since I entered the territory of Ludong, and I haven't even seen a shadow. It is estimated that such a force swept them, and they would have run away to hide in the deep mountains and old forests. The current location is not the core area of the Eighth Road. Not to mention that these puppet soldiers are very relaxed, even a few Japanese advisers of this puppet army sleep like a bunch of dead pigs.

This situation has brought great convenience to the infiltration troops. Along the way, they quietly touched several guard positions on the periphery. Although they are not the professional guys of the reconnaissance company, being able to touch the sentries is a must-have ability for any unit's top soldiers.

In addition, because of the relationship of time, the puppet army in the village slept like a group of dead pigs at this time. More than ten minutes after the attack was launched, the puppet army guard positions on the outskirts of the village, as well as the clear posts, were basically cleared. After clearing the outlying sentinels, the two companies involved in the battle increased their speed. Almost all of them entered the village at the first time.

First solve the firepower points deployed by the puppet army in the village, and then gradually clean up the puppet soldiers in each house from the outside in. But good luck doesn't necessarily cover the eight roads all the time, and sometimes a little mistake can easily be bad. More than ten minutes after the troops infiltrated the village, a gunshot broke the tranquility of the village in an instant.

The combat squad that came in from behind a house on the flank, when it had cleared a platoon of the puppet army in a house and infiltrated in depth. happened to meet a few puppet soldiers who changed posts, and walked a head to head. As a result, when dealing with these puppet soldiers, I didn't think of a new recruit of the puppet army, because the nervous gun kept on fire.

As a result, when the soldier was knocked down, he directly pulled the trigger of the Liao Thirteen rifle in his hand. This gunshot alarmed the entire village of the puppet army that had not yet been controlled. After the operation was exposed, the troops who infiltrated the village immediately switched from the original infiltration sneak attack to the official attack.

These puppet soldiers reacted very quickly, and they didn't even bother to wear clothes, and one by one they either went up to the roof to shoot back, or rushed out of their homes with rifles. All the firepower points that have not yet been cleared are also fired at the first time. What used to be a peaceful night turned into a battlefield in an instant.

Accompanied by the sound of a signal-like gunshot, a dense burst of gunfire and explosions rang out inside and outside the village. The sound of light and heavy machine guns and rifles suddenly resounded throughout the village. The speed of response after the attack of this puppet army was also extremely unexpected by He Sanliang.

Although the vigilance is not strict, it can even be said that it is a little lax. But once there was an abnormality, He Sanliang calculated, from the first gunshot to the whole village, the distance was only less than three minutes. The well-trained and responsive speed of this puppet army surprised He Sanliang a little.

The reaction speed of this puppet army is even faster than that of its own troops. Except for the units on duty that ensure combat readiness every day in accordance with regulations, ordinary troops do not have this speed on a daily basis. He Sanliang, who is thoughtful, thinks that no matter how great the results of this battle are. But the most important thing is that I also realized that there are certain shortcomings.

It seems that when this anti-sweeping operation is over, it is time for me to strengthen the training of the troops' rapid reaction capability. If you can't even compare to a puppet army, then it's somewhat too much to say. Although this puppet army is a regular army that has surrendered to the enemy in formation, He Sanliang still believes that his troops should definitely surpass them in terms of training level.

Compared with the speed of the response to the puppet army, He Sanliang, who was a little surprised, the artillery platoon commander who had already received his order over there reacted faster. After the first shot, his * was already in the chamber. Immediately after the first shot*, it exploded in the courtyard where the radio antenna was set up, directly blowing up the radio wire into the sky.

The puppet army of this department is quite well-equipped, and there are quite few radio stations at the level of ordinary puppet regiments. Because the Japanese army has quite strict control over the puppet army's radio station. However, the ministry may have defected to the enemy in formation, so the regimental level is now equipped with radio stations. Moreover, the antenna erected quite high in the mountainous area to facilitate communication has become an obvious target.

When observing the enemy situation, He Sanliang saw at a glance the radio antenna that was obvious in the village. This puppet army's experience in mountain warfare is obviously still somewhat insufficient. The radio antenna like this is set up so high that it obviously tells the people around me that this is my regimental headquarters.

In the face of this arrogant approach, He Sanliang has nothing to be polite about. His order to the artillery platoon commander assigned to him was simple: the first shot was to hit the courtyard where the radio antenna was located. Because of this obvious radio antenna, it clearly tells him that this is the regimental headquarters of the puppet army, who else can you hit if you don't hit first?

And the artillery platoon commander who accepted the order did not disappoint He Sanliang. The first shell hit the radio antenna, the compound. directly cut off the horizontal connection between this puppet army and other Japanese puppet armies in the outside world. But after the first shell hit, the artillery platoon commander did not intend to stop.

If you don't die if you fight a wolf, then the pressure on the troops in the village is too great. Because this platoon commander knows very well that his own troops are in a weak position in the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us. Since the chief of staff arranged for himself to defeat their headquarters, there was no need for his subordinates to show any mercy. Anyway, as long as he completes the order of the chief of staff, he will not blame himself for wasting shells.
