Chapter Ninety-Three: Let's Start Shelling!
For many Japanese soldiers who were stationed in Xinguan Town for the first time, everything here seemed a little unfamiliar. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info just the existence of many troops, so that these Japanese sentries feel that they should be very safe around them, and no one should dare to break into the town where heavy troops are gathered.
Especially on the streets, the patrols that walk every once in a while make the sentinels standing in front of the town office and warehouse feel much more at ease. In their opinion, as long as the patrol team did not find out about the situation, they naturally had no surprises.
It was more than three o'clock in the morning, and most of the Japanese soldiers who were on duty had traveled a long way during the day. Even though the whistles are coming in turn, at this point in time, these little devils still feel that their eyelids are starting to fight.
The three little devils guarding the front of the warehouse, even if they were standing in front of the warehouse door, their eyes were mostly closed. Waiting until a warehouse sentry, watching the patrol appear again, hurriedly opened his eyes and forcibly cheered up.
Looking at the patrol Cao who was walking towards him, the sentry hurriedly said, "Password!" ”
'The Emperor's Road, Return Order!' ’
'Prosperity! Cao Chang, is there any situation? ’
'Has anyone in you brought the fire?' I have cigarettes, but I don't have matches! ’
The patrolling military cao, when he suddenly walked to his sentry post, looked at the military cao who took out a pack of cigarettes, the sentry was stunned and said a little embarrassed: "Cao Chang, I'm sorry, I don't have a match on me!" ”
What about the two of you? ’
'Cao Chang, I have! ’
Just when Cao Chang felt a little regretful, another sentry smiled humbly, took out a box of matches from his pocket and handed it over. Cao Chang, who took the match, seemed to be very satisfied and said, "Yo! Soldier, you're good! ”
Juncao, who took out a match and lit a cigarette, seemed to be very enthusiastic, took out three cigarettes and handed them over, "Soldier, do you smoke?" ”
'Thank you, Chief Cao! ’
Of the three sentinels who were sleepy, even one of them did not smoke. But in the face of Cao Chang, who handed over the cigarette, he still took the cigarette after all. At this time, Cao Chang beckoned behind him: "Come over too, smoke a cigarette and take a rest!" ”
Looking at Cao Chang, who was smoking, beckoned, the four patrol soldiers standing on the street also walked over quickly. When the four of them approached, Cao Chang, who was originally smoking, suddenly said, "Do it!" ”
Cao Chang, a Japanese soldier who used to speak Japanese, suddenly spoke two words in Mandarin. This change made the three warehouse sentinels feel extremely puzzled. In their puzzled eyes, the blade of the short knife had already pierced into their bodies.
'Big head, pull the team over, and move a little lighter. I'm going to open the warehouse and see what's good in it. Wait for some valuable ones to move, and other materials that can't be moved will be blown up! ’
'Yes, Captain! ’
This Japanese soldier Cao Chang who borrowed fire was actually disguised by Zhao Tiehu. Since he knew that he had traveled to the era of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhao Tiehu consciously strengthened his learning of spoken Japanese, and specially called the translators in the regiment to the base for training for a few days.
It was with the teachings of this translator that Zhao Tiehu, who originally had some foundation in Japanese, learned this Tokyo-accented Japanese. Even if some complex sentences are not smooth, simple oral conversation is no longer a problem.
After violently breaking the key hanging on the warehouse with a short knife, Zhao Tiehu was also very careful to walk into the material warehouse with a torch. In fact, during the day, Zhao Tiehu had already emptied this warehouse.
In just half a day, this warehouse was filled with items by little devils. Compared with the previous warehouses, where most of the warehouses were stacked with grain and cloth, most of the warehouses now are filled with weapons and ammunition supplies brought by the Japanese army.
Li Chengwu, the captain of the detachment who followed into the warehouse, looked at the ammunition stacked in the warehouse, and grinned: "Captain, you have made a fortune!" ”
'Fortune of a! How many things can we carry with these people? Wait a minute, we're going to retreat? There are too many things, how can you retreat later? Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and find those things that we desperately need.
Well, these should be cannonballs from grenadiers, so you can carry some more with you later. Well, these crooked handles are good, wait a few to pick a few with good physical strength, each person will carry one, and don't forget the bullets, how many can be carried.
Wow, and mortars, it's a good thing, it's a pity it's too heavy. Look for the shell box, these mortars are the same caliber as the ones we use, and the shells should be universal. Move two more boxes, we can't make this shell for the time being. ’
Looking at the pile of weapons and ammunition in the warehouse, Zhao Tiehu began to instruct the team members who followed into the warehouse to pick some urgent things to move. But even so, Zhao Tiehu felt that he could only move a small part.
'Riding a horse, Lao Tzu found out for the first time that there was too much ammunition and he was worried. Forget it, time is limited, move all the things I just said. Li Chengwu, what are you doing with a cannon? Carrying the cannon, how are you going to retreat later? ’
'Captain, I can do it!' It's a pity that this cannon has blown up, as long as we move out of town, we will have one more cannon. ’
Regarding Zhao Tiehu's move of only taking cannonballs but not cannons, Li Chengwu was somewhat reluctant. For him, no amount of artillery is too much. After all, when they used to fight, they had suffered too many losses without artillery.
Looking at Li Chengwu's resolute expression, Zhao Tiehu didn't know that these veterans had suffered losses without artillery. Now that a few mortars are in front of them, how can they not move?
After secretly sighing that it was all the fault of the poor, Zhao Tiehu could only say: "Okay, since you kid wants to die with a cannon, then wait for you to take a few people, withdraw from the battle first, and send the weapons you chose to the outside of the town."
Wait for the battle to start, how will you fight and withdraw these things you are carrying? Two cannons were picked, two more boxes of shells were carried, and the rest of the stuff was done as I just said. Hurry up and move it, time is running out, it's really your own yard! ”
After scolding Li Chengwu with a smile, looking at the greedy looks of all the team members, Zhao Tiehu could only choose to reduce the number of troops and let these combat team members act as porters. Speaking of which, once the battle starts, they really can't stay in the town for long.
When Li Chengwu led people to remove the weapons and ammunition ordered by Zhao Tiehu, Zhao Tiehu used the ammunition in the warehouse and began to make explosive devices. I believe that when the warehouse explodes, the scene will be spectacular!
Everything was ready, and Zhao Tiehu looked at the warehouse where there was nothing going on. When the time comes, the entire warehouse with weapons and ammunition will be blown up. When the time comes, the little devils gathered here are estimated to suffer heavy losses.
Knowing that there was not much time left, Zhao Tiehu looked at the remaining team members around him and said, "Come with me and go to the town office." Wait a minute, you guys, give me all the strength to feed, and get some more shells in, understand? ”
'Yes, Captain, you see! ’
The grenadier team, which was originally going to be used to blow up the warehouse, was not able to get a chance to make a move. Liu Cheng, who had been waiting for the movement of the warehouse, was also a little anxious, thinking that something was going on here.
It wasn't until Zhao Tiehu and his entourage came over safely that Liu Cheng said, "Captain, can you do it?" ”
'Yes! Are the blocking teams all in place? ’
'Got in place! Over there in the warehouse, why is there no movement? ’
'Don't worry, if you hit this side, there will be movement there. I was afraid that it would be too powerful to wait, so I brought people here in advance. Well, you'll know what's going on later, let's start shelling! ’
'Okay, the gunner is in position, prepare the shells, put it!' ’
Under a series of commands, the two artillerymen quickly put the shells into the barrels, accompanied by the two shells whistling out. The town office, which had already been shelled during the day, once again ushered in the baptism of shells.
With two loud explosions coming from the town office, the grenadier team, which had been waiting on the side of the street for a long time, also began to put small shells into the grenadiers. Even if the power of small shells is not as great as that of mortar shells, there are undoubtedly many more of them.
The Japanese puppet army in the town, who were already asleep, were undoubtedly awakened when they heard this huge explosion. Just when some Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers rushed out of their residences, the blocking team arranged by Zhao Tiehu also opened fire.
Zhao Tiehu, who was worried about the lack of firepower earlier, assigned all the crooked handles he had brought earlier to the blocking team. In this way, each interdiction group can be assigned at least one machine gun, which undoubtedly increases the lethality exponentially.
Waiting until all the twelve mortar shells were exhausted, Zhao Tiehu said: "Artillery group, withdraw!" The blocking teams withdrew with me to the outside of the town. Remember, be vigilant and don't rush into crowded places. Follow me, don't get scattered! ”
'Yes, Captain! ’
After the fight, he will withdraw, regardless of the situation of the little devils in the town office at the moment. Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese puppet army was cautious and panicked at the moment, Zhao Tiehu felt that he was almost leaving. It's just that before leaving, I still have to teach those puppet soldiers a lesson.
Use a combat group wearing a puppet army uniform to block the Japanese army, and use a combat group wearing a Japanese army uniform to clean up the puppet army. Such a distribution blow also gave a psychological hint to the Japanese puppet army who were a little stunned when they woke up, so that they could not distinguish the real from the fake.
After Zhao Tiehu safely entered the previously selected retreat alley and made a retreat gesture, the battle groups that were fighting with the Japanese puppet army also broke away from the battle. And it didn't take long for the pursuing Japanese puppet army to quickly catch fire.
Hiding in the dark and seeing this scene, Zhao Tiehu and Liu Cheng looked at each other and smiled: "The show is finally staged!" ”
Both men are aware that as both sides continue to increase their troops, they exchange fire. By the time they reacted, they were afraid that the loss would be irreparable. But isn't all this exactly what the two of them expected?
