Chapter Seventy-Seven: Assault Through the Night
The Japanese puppet army stationed in Xinguan Town still looked a little nervous in the face of the sudden attackers at night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's just that after the battle started, the Japanese troops who rushed to reinforce felt that something was wrong.
Looking at the attackers who were secretly shooting at him in front, Youjun Cao couldn't help but say: "Second lieutenant, these people don't seem to want to attack, they only shoot at us, and even retreat from time to time. Do you want to pursue? ”
'Nope! Our team's mission is to ensure the safety of the town. These attackers are afraid that they don't want to storm the town, but want to lure us out to ambush us. As long as we stay here, their plot will not succeed. ’
The sneak attack on the main battalion of the national * army two days ago really frightened the squad leader. Fortunately, the puppet army on duty at that time found it in time, and finally failed to let the other party succeed in the night attack. But in the past two days of investigation, the team leader still gained something.
In the night attack two days ago, the Kuomintang army had originally prepared a company of troops to attack Xinguan Town. And the rest of the main battalion was originally preparing to ambush them in the back.
Fortunately, that night, they did not rush out to frustrate each other's plans. Now the other party is making a comeback again, and it is nothing more than trying to repeat the old tricks. Since he guessed the other party's conspiracy, how could the team leader be fooled?
As Zhao Tiehu and his party withdrew from the battle, the little devil was still very patient and refused to move a step in the position at the entrance of the town. After resting for almost an hour, Zhao Tiehu sent ten more team members to quietly touch the front and shoot again to provoke.
In the face of the resurgence of the attackers, the Japanese puppet army, who thought that the sneak attack should end tonight, could only fight back with fun again. But this time, the Japanese squad leader still strictly ordered the troops not to attack easily.
Even, watching the attackers shoot at him, he from time to time ordered the use of grenadiers to return fire. Seeing this scene, the harassers who had used up five bullets could only quickly withdraw from the battle to avoid being shelled by the little devils.
Looking at these attackers who had been fighting for a while and running, Youjun Cao couldn't help but say, "Second Lieutenant, why don't you send someone to chase after you?" If you're worried about the danger, let these Imperial Allies chase them down and see who these attackers are. ”
It is clear that the Japanese squad leader is very concerned about the casualties of his squad, but for the casualties of the puppet army, presumably the squad leader still doesn't care. The puppet army who died in battle tonight, as long as they give the order, I believe that those squires who have taken refuge will recruit another group to come over.
Listening to Jun Cao's suggestion, the squad leader nodded and said, "Yo! That's a good idea, call the captain of the Imperial Army! ”
When the commander of the puppet army heard the order of the squad leader, although he wanted to scold his mother in his heart, he still said: "Yes, Taijun, I will immediately organize people to launch a pursuit." ”
When fighting, the puppet army rarely had the courage to resist the battle orders issued by the little devils. Once they don't obey orders, these little devils will often be ruthless and deal with them as deserters.
For this reason, even if they knew that the little devils were the ones who went to explore the way or even sent them to death, the puppet army commander could only grit his teeth and give the task. A pursuit force of more than 30 people was drawn and began to carefully pursue.
As a result, these puppet troops did not go far before they were ambushed by the harassing forces who had retreated to a safe place. The Japanese soldiers who stayed behind, listening to the gunfire in front, also knew that the puppet army should have been ambushed.
Jun Cao, who had suggested the pursuit earlier, even said with a little admiration: "Second Lieutenant, it seems that the enemy's tricks have been seen through by you again!" ”
These Chinese people don't understand the art of war. I have also tasted their 36 strategies. It is impossible to fool us with this tactic of luring the enemy. Send a small detachment over to bring back those Imperial Allies. ’
'Hey! ’
Although no matter how many losses the Imperial Alliance Army lost, they would not feel any good distress. But the problem is that the place where the two sides are fighting is not far from the position, and if they sit idly by, I am afraid that it will also chill the hearts of these puppet soldiers.
Appropriately sending a combat squad to meet them can save the lives of some puppet soldiers. When the time comes, these rescued puppet soldiers will also be grateful for the kindness of the Japanese army, and they will be even more desperate to work for the little devils in the future.
After leaving behind a dozen corpses, the puppet army sent to pursue them was finally picked up. In the face of the casualties of the puppet army, the squad leader still comforted a little, saying that he would give a lot of money after the war.
Of course, there is such a thing as a pension, and the little devil will naturally not pay for it. So where does the money come from?
Naturally, it was the squires who took refuge in the money! After all, the Japanese army stationed in the town and formed a puppet army, to a certain extent, was also taking care of the homes of these squires. Now that there are dead and wounded, these squires must pay some reward money!
With the temptation of the puppet army, I am sure that these night attackers just want to lead them to pursue, and the little devil will naturally not be stupid enough to take the initiative to attack. Even if they were puppet troops, they didn't plan to send them out, but just stuck to the defensive position at the entrance of the town.
Zhao Tiehu, who was already resting in the back at this moment, learned that the little devil had become a turtle with a shrunken head, and immediately said: "Send ten more riflemen over, and let the grenadier team go to two people, so that they can also win, and reward the devil with two grenades." ”
'Yes, Captain! ’
The fighters who received the order, and soon ten fighters were rotated. But what is really happy is the grenadier team set up at the base earlier. After all, although they are riflemen, they still want to use the grenadiers in their hands to participate in actual combat.
Now that there is finally a chance to let them shoot a few shots for the little devils, they are naturally happy. But for the Japanese puppet army that sticks to the entrance of the town, the pressure to bear is undoubtedly greater.
Looking at the sneak attackers who made a comeback again, and even had grenadiers to cooperate with the attack, the little devil captain who stayed in the defensive position said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Baga! This is the grenadier we use, how can the other side also equip it? ”
'Second Lieutenant, they must have captured it!' Now what? Do you want to keep going? ’
'Order the grenadier team to return fire and see what the other side is trying to do?' This firepower alone is not enough to pose a threat to us. However, I am now very curious about who attacked us! ’
According to what the squad leader learned, there were two anti-Japanese war forces around Xinguan Town, one was led by the Eighth Route Army, and the other belonged to the National * Army. The troops who wanted to sneak attack Xinguan the previous time were the anti-Japanese war troops under the command of the National * Army.
So is it the National * Army or the Eighth Route Army that is attacking the town now?
If it is the former, the squad leader also can't understand why the national * army intervened at this time. At least this squad leader, who understands Chinese affairs, knows more or less that the Eighth Route Army and the National * Army are not as close as the propaganda says.
Everyone knows that now the reinforcements from Jinzhong have arrived in Yushe, and they will soon start a sweeping and encirclement operation against the Japanese troops. The focus of this sweep was the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army operating in Yushe.
It stands to reason that at this time, the national * army should sit on the wall and watch. Putting aside the speculation of the National * Army, then the Eighth Route Army operating in Xinguan is left with the anti-war forces. But at this time, shouldn't the Eighth Route Army shrink its forces and prepare for defensive operations?
As the grenadiers of the Japanese squad began to counterattack, the outside of the town became a little lively. Many people staying in the town also looked a little worried and scared when they heard the sound of gunfire outside the town.
Many people who were awakened by the sound of gunfire were also curious about the anti-war troops that attacked the town tonight!
In this way, after tossing until midnight, Zhao Tiehu felt that the heat was almost the same, so he took the troops to move their positions again. The group, after a detour of a mountain road, came to the other side of Xinguan Town and lurked.
As for the place where he attacked before, Zhao Tiehu only arranged for a few soldiers to shoot cold shots from time to time, so that those defending Japanese puppet troops could not rest in peace. When it is daybreak, look for an opportunity to sneak into the town and carry out a strong attack.
The town defenders, who had been holding out all night, looked at the fact that it had not been long before dawn, and had not heard gunshots for a while. The captain of the Japanese army, who was a little tired, finally said: "Send a team from the Imperial Alliance Army to come forward and investigate the situation." ”
'Hey! ’
Not long after, the Imperial Allied Army team, which was ordered to attack again, once again went out to search and reconnoiter in fear. After nearly three kilometers of march, there was still no discovery, and the team leader immediately returned to the town.
Looking at the puppet army squad that had returned safely, the Japanese squad leader also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yo! It seems that the other party has withdrawn, and they know that it is about to dawn, and they do not dare to stay here any longer.
The Imperial Alliance Army continued to be on duty here, and all the other personnel returned to the town office to rest. In two days' time, our army will start the clearance mission, and I believe we will be much safer here. But in these two days, you must be vigilant, understand? ”
'Yes, Taijun, we must guard it well! ’
In the past few days, for the puppet army in Xinguan Town, what they are most afraid of is that it will be dark. Because at night, everyone gets nervous. But what I like the most is undoubtedly that after dawn, those of them who are on duty at night can finally rest at ease.
But these Japanese puppet soldiers never dreamed that when they were sleeping peacefully, Zhao Tiehu and his party, who had already woken up from the mountains, began to make final preparations for the infiltration raid during the day!
