Chapter 22: A Change in Image
Li Ziyuan decided to hit the Baijin Railway first, because although there is a pillbox about 500 meters on the Baijin Railway Line at present, the Baijin Railway is still under construction, and the Japanese puppet army in Pingchuan is limited, and not all the troops are stationed in Shang. It's just that among the bunkers near Pingchuan, a small number of puppet soldiers are stationed to guard them. There is still a great opportunity to start with the railway line yourself.
From the daytime observations, Li Ziyuan found that the defense system of the entire Pingchuan Town, only the railway line that had not yet been completed was the weakest. If you want to start around Pingchuan, you can either touch the bunker at a commanding height on the periphery first, or start on the railway line first.
Compared with making movements, doing tricks on the railway line is obviously more impactful. Anyway, the Japanese built this railway line, not to build the southeast of Jin. In addition to the dispatch of arms and mobile troops to sweep the base areas, Li Ziyuan could not think of anything else.
If you want to attract the attention of the Japanese puppet army from the front line of Wangjiagou. Buying enough time for training is the best option for the Japanese to concentrate their limited forces in what they think is more important. As for the Japanese puppet army on the commanding heights, it is better to keep it for now.
Li Ziyuan didn't think about finding out Wang Tieshi's extremely suspicious ancestral tomb first, but at the moment, what was more important to him was not anywhere, but at least temporarily attracting the attention of the Japanese puppet army. And if you confirm your suspicions, under the condition that you can't transfer all the arms in a short time, it is easy to startle the mysterious ancestral tomb at this time.
If that guy finds out that his secrets have leaked and transfers this batch of arms, then it will not be so easy to find out again. Regardless of whether this guy's mysterious ancestral tomb is one of those things he pondered or not. But judging from the personality of this guy in Guan Li and Shi Jin's mouth, as long as that mountain bag is moved, it is inevitable to startle the snake.
Li Ziyuan, who didn't want the duck meat that might be about to reach his mouth to fly again, resisted the temptation and didn't touch the strange mountain bag first, for him, it was not the time to startle the snake.
After making up their minds, Li Ziyuan and Shi Jin returned to the temporary station of the troops. At this time, after a day's rest, the troops' spirit and spirit recovered very well. After returning to the small mountain forest in the station, Li Ziyuan simply ate a few mouthfuls of dry food. The earth was piled up to make a pillbox look like a blockhouse, and then the branches were used to shape the blockade line and the railroad.
Carefully explain their tactical arrangements to all the fighters, and even assign tasks to people. Li Ziyuan seemed a little chattering, but this was a sneak attack battle, not a battle to hold a position. In the previous battle of Wangjiagou, the unfamiliar tactics of the original team members paid some casualties that should not have occurred.
After that battle, Li Ziyuan learned that these two district squads had just been reorganized as the basic guerrilla force in Hubei County. Most of the team members have even just been selected from the basic militia, so where can the tactical literacy be in this situation? Li Ziyuan could not but be cautious, and his activities in the enemy-occupied areas that had never been able to open up the situation would be fatal, even if he was slightly injured.
After talking about the tactical arrangements with some nagging, I felt that I had become a mother-in-law's Li Ziyuan. Tired, he said to Liu Lianming: "You put your guard and pay more attention to the surrounding situation." I'll take a nap and call out to me an hour later. Tell everyone that no matter how cold it is, don't light a fire, let alone smoke, and it's safe to be in the shade. ”
After speaking, after Li Ziyuan threw the telescope in his hand to Liu Lianming, he walked under a big tree and leaned against the trunk, and quickly fell asleep in a short time. Although the place where the troops temporarily repaired was in the shade of the mountain, it was a little cold as the sky gradually darkened. But Li Ziyuan still forced himself to fall asleep in the shortest possible time to ensure that his brain was awake at all times.
Looking at Li Ziyuan, who was quickly falling asleep, Liu Lianming and Shi Jin, who took the telescope he handed over, could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. However, worried that Li Ziyuan would catch a cold, Liu Lianming took off the clothes on his body and gently covered him. He held the gun with the safety open, climbed up to the ridge with the binoculars, and looked around vigilantly.
The night of early spring in the southeast of Shanxi Province shrouded the shallow mountainous area outside Pingchuan Town like a touch of thick ink. Li Ziyuan slept soundly against the trunk of the tree, and the other fighters did not dare to smoke or speak because of his order. Leaning against the trunks of trees, they were either wiping their weapons or sitting there watching their captains.
In the battle of Wangjiagou Beishan, Li Ziyuan is now unusually tall in these soldiers. Although there was a slight mistake, the development of the battle was basically based on Li Ziyuan's pre-war judgment. In the face of more than 200 Japanese puppet troops, only a few soldiers were wounded, and more than a dozen Japanese puppet troops were eliminated. Although the scale of the battle was small, the battle gave these fighters a lot of encouragement.
Of course, this battle also made Li Ziyuan's original image in the hearts of the soldiers, and the image of the captain who only knew how to sleep basically disappeared. Especially the scene where he and Liu Lianming fought with the devil with bayonets back to back, which made the soldiers worship as gods. In the words of Liu Lianming after the war, it is absolutely worth fighting with such a captain.
Li Ziyuan, who was sleeping, naturally didn't know that the battle of Wangjiagou had really established his prestige among the troops and really won the trust of the soldiers. He even overthrew the nickname of Captain Sleeping God that he got in the hearts of the soldiers because of his previous performance.
It's just that the time of an hour is too short, and before Shi Jin and Liu Lianming can call Li Ziyuan, he himself woke up first. Although two hours is short, these two hours are enough for Li Ziyuan, who has been fighting in the war for nearly five years.
Standing up and looking at the sky that had completely darkened, Li Ziyuan put Liu Lianming and Shi Jin, as well as all the soldiers, of course, plus the soldiers who replaced the wounded in the second squadron and a small team, and the troops he could use now were still ten people. However, for the plan in Li Ziyuan's heart, these ten fighters were enough.
Of course, if these fighters have completed their training, he will be more satisfied. It's just a pity that although these fighters are fighters of the front district squad, they have not received much rigorous military training. In addition to the poor technical and tactical level, it basically only stays at being able to aim and shoot and throw grenades. As for tactical training, there is still a lot of difference with a qualified fighter.
It is precisely because these forward squads, even not so far ago, were fighters of a basic militia that their training was not up to the mark. After determining that these soldiers were not much stronger than the recruits, and had not forgotten their tactical arrangements, Li Ziyuan was still unusually cautious when acting.
Especially when bypassing the northeast direction of Liangdao Pingchuan and building a mountain bag with the bunker fortifications of the Japanese puppet army, although it was only less than two miles away, Li Ziyuan moved for nearly an hour. Especially when passing through the cross-fire blockade zone between these two commanding heights, Li Ziyuan led his troops to crawl forward almost all the way.
When crossing this fire blockade area, Li Ziyuan carried a barge gun with a large nose in his left hand and a grenade in his right hand. It can be said that as long as he is talking from both sides, he can hear clearly under the mountain, and the Japanese puppet army on the top of the mountain can find out, and the gun in his hand can be fired as soon as possible.
Fortunately, although the Japanese puppet army in Pingchuan Town is heavily guarded, the puppet army in these commanding heights outside the town may have the mind of the Tiangao Emperor Yuanyuan, and the defense is not strict. Li Ziyuan could clearly hear the sound of the puppet army singing and talking on the mountain. But no one in the puppet army on the mountain noticed the bottom of the mountain.
After passing through the firepower blockade area, Li Ziyuan slightly discerned the direction and led a small team to quickly rush towards the target he had locked during the day. The blockhouse locked by Li Ziyuan is the easternmost one currently manned among the bunker groups built by the Japanese puppet army along the railway line in Pingchuan Town.
He could see clearly during the day that there was about a squad of puppet soldiers stationed in this bunker. Although the situation inside the bunker is not clear, there is a sentry outside. At this moment, although the sentry did not doze off, he was obviously a little absent-minded, which gave Li Ziyuan a great opportunity.
Approaching the bunker quietly, Li Ziyuan did not fake others, but carefully approached the target as close as possible under the cover of the night. But after approaching the bunker, he did not attack directly. Instead, he waited until the sentry turned to the north of the bunker with a big grin, avoiding the sight of the sentry on the south side of the bunker.
After approaching the pillbox, the barge gun and grenade in Li Ziyuan's hand were gone, replaced by a dagger converted from a broken Japanese-made 30 bayonet. By the time the sentry turned to the north of the bunker, the farthest distance from the bunker, he had already turned to the side of the railway line, and Li Ziyuan, who was hidden in the ditch, rushed up with an arrow.
Covering the unlucky guy's mouth with one hand, the bayonet turned dagger in the other hand stabbed the guy in the back of the heart steadily. After the knife went down, Li Ziyuan didn't let go immediately, but waited until this guy was completely out of struggle before slowly putting him down.
and quickly took off the Czech-made rifle on this guy's body, and threw it to Liu Lianming, who immediately followed after seeing him do it. Li Ziyuan carried the shell gun with the nose open in one hand and the Japanese-made Type 97 grenade in the other, and rushed to the door of the bunker at the fastest speed under the cover of several shooting holes that Liu Lianming had already controlled behind him.
Li Ziyuan, who knew that the speed should be as fast as possible at this time, did not fire after reaching the gate of the pillbox. Instead, he kicked open the door of the bunker and went directly into the bunker, shouting directly with a pistol and a grenade to not move. Several puppet soldiers in the bunker who were gambling cards looked like Li Ziyuan who had fallen from the sky.
Although Liu Lianming behind Li Ziyuan is a little stubborn, after all, he is a veteran, and he still grasps the fighter very accurately. Just after Li Ziyuan frightened several puppet soldiers, he immediately led people to follow up and disarm all the puppet soldiers. To Liu Lianming's great surprise, although there were not many puppet troops in this bunker, there was a light machine gun.
After taking Liu Lianming and a few soldiers to take materials on the spot, using the rope in the bunker to strip off the military uniforms outside, and directly tied up several puppet soldiers tightly, and blocked the mouths of most of the people, and dragged the corpse outside in, Li Ziyuan began the interrogation unhurriedly.
looked at the only puppet army squad leader in front of him who was not gagged because he had the rank of sergeant on the collar badge. Li Ziyuan squatted down, took out the dagger that was still bloody, and gently patted this guy on the face: "Let's say, how many people are stationed in these bunkers north of Pingchuan Town?" What kind of equipment are they, and what are your officers hiding in that bunker? ”
