Chapter 161: The Head Matters!
Upon hearing the news of another attack on Dongguan, the Japanese troops who had rushed to check on the situation did not arrive in the town until the next morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I have seen the corpses left at the scene of the battle, and the Japanese troops who came to support have also exploded.
It is not the first time that the Japanese army has dealt with the Eighth Route Army, and it is also the first time that this kind of thing has been encountered. For many Japanese soldiers, the skull was undoubtedly a very important thing. No head means no corpse!
The soul that has lost its head cannot return to its homeland. This was undoubtedly a very unacceptable consequence for many Japanese soldiers who hoped to return home after the death of the war. So much so that the Japanese commanders who came to check on the situation were instantly blown up.
'Yaga, how dare these damn dirt eight roads do such a thing? Go, find out the whereabouts of these dirt roads, and be sure to find them. At all costs, recover the lost heads of the warriors and avenge them. ’
After some investigation and interrogation, the Japanese army soon learned that the Eighth Route Army, which attacked Dongguan last night, was to avenge the people of Zhangbei Village. Earlier, the Japanese troops stationed in Dongguan massacred hundreds of unarmed villagers in Zhangbei Village.
Upon learning of this, the Japanese commander quickly ordered a march to Zhangbei Village. According to the investigation, the Eighth Route Army, which attacked Dongguan last night, is likely to return to Zhangbei Village with those severed heads and direct prisoners.
On the way to Zhangbei Village, the Japanese commander asked the intelligence staff officer around him: "As far as I know, there should be no large Tuba Road in Qi County. Where did the dirt road that attacked the town last night come from? ”
'Shaozuo, this is not very clear. However, I do know a little about the Qixian guerrillas, and the captain of this guerrilla team is surnamed Wu, and he has always been the target of our want. But I always felt that this was not done by the Qi County guerrillas. ’
'Why?' ’
According to the information we have, the Qixian guerrillas have a total of two or three hundred people, and their weapons and equipment are very rudimentary. But the Eighth Route Army, which attacked the town last night, used mortars and grenadiers during the attack.
If this was done by the Qi County guerrillas, then why did they keep a low profile before? The most important thing is that if you dare to do such a thing to insult the corpses of our warriors, it should be very difficult for this group of eight roads.
I even suspect that this gang should be the same as the one who attacked our train station earlier. The Zhangbei Village mentioned earlier was because we had detected a village related to the Eighth Road, and we sent troops to clean it up.
If you extrapolate from the time, I suspect that this group of Eighth Roads is the same group of Eighth Roads that attacked our military column two days ago. Although the number is small, the well-equipped troops are also elite. Only they would dare to do such a thing.
Although we have blockaded and bombed the mountain where they are hiding, we have not found any trace of the Eighth Route until now. Moreover, if you go deep from the Yunling Mountain Range, you can completely avoid the sentry posts along the way and go directly to the territory of Qi County. ’
As the combat staff officer explained his analysis, the Japanese commander who led the team said with a little hesitation: "If this is the case, can we really encircle and annihilate them with the troops we have brought?" ”
"Shaozuo, I don't know much about this. Judging from the situation of these attacks, this gang is very difficult to deal with. When we go to Zhangbei Village this time, we should get in touch with them. But I think I should get in touch with them this time.
If we can entangle them, we can encircle them when the next big army comes. What's more, if we don't go to Zhangbei Village to find out the situation, we won't be able to find the heads of our warriors, and we won't be able to explain to the top at that time! ’
Nearly a squadron of little devils was beheaded, and this incident naturally alarmed many people. I can't find these severed heads, but I'm afraid that the Japanese soldier who came over also needs to bear the corresponding responsibility for this matter.
After some consideration, Shao Zuo felt that he should still go to Zhangbei Village to have a look. This time when he received the news, he brought nearly a brigade over. In terms of strength alone, even if it is against an eight-way main force, it is not afraid at all.
After having this confidence, Shao Zuo finally decided to test the details of this guy's eight roads. At this moment, Zhao Tiehu, after paying tribute to the villagers who died in Zhangbei Village, also let the troops camp in the village to rest that night.
The soldiers sent to the periphery to reconnoiter quickly informed Zhao Tiehu of the news that six or seven hundred little devils had come to the town. Knowing that the little devils sent so many troops over at once this time, Zhao Tiehu also felt that this group of little devils was not good.
Thinking that these little devils would definitely find a way to retrieve the head that was cut off by him, Zhao Tiehu felt that he should have a crossfire with this group of little devils. But after thinking about it, Zhao Tiehu felt that it was more appropriate to avoid the enemy's edge.
After all, this gang of little devils is well-armed and does not have a puppet army to cooperate with them. If he fought against this kind of troops, Zhao Tiehu was also worried that the combat detachment would suffer heavy casualties. In this way, the gains outweigh the losses.
After thinking about it, Zhao Tiehu finally said: "Lao Liu, concentrate the explosives and grenades we brought, and then set up a large minefield near Jingguan." As long as the little devils want to get those heads back, let them be stimulated first.
With the detachment as a combat unit, they are distributed around the village, looking for opportunities to sneak around these little devils. Let's put them in the village first, and then we'll fish slowly to spread their forces and see if there's a chance to wipe them all out.
If you simply fight blocking and ambushing, I'm afraid that this group of little devils is not so easy to be fooled. If we really want to fight, it is estimated that our troops will also suffer a lot of casualties. If you follow behind and shoot black guns, I believe it will make these little devils quite uncomfortable.
I'll take people to do the things of burying mines, and you take some marksmen to set up an ambush on the mountain road into the village. Don't get entangled with the little devils, just keep harassing them and make them feel uncomfortable, and in this way weaken their fighting strength. ”
After listening to Zhao Tiehu's plan, Liu Cheng thought for a while and said, "Yes, our strength is limited now, and it is really not appropriate to fight hard with the little devil." It is more beneficial for us to fight guerrilla warfare. Okay, I'll get started. ”
'Good! While the little devils have not yet arrived, I will take some people to prepare in the village. In the future, Zhangbei Village will also become a fortress village in our base area, and it is also very necessary to build some fortifications, and by the way, let the guerrillas also familiarize themselves with the situation. ’
After the two divided the labor, Liu Cheng quickly left the village with a group of fighters with excellent shooting skills. He even brought a few grenadiers, planning to give the little devil a few shots when he was looking for an opportunity.
As for the rest of the team members, under the leadership of Zhao Tiehu, they began to lay minefields along the place where Duijingguan was. The Qixian guerrillas, according to the repair task ordered by Zhao Tiehu, began to build fortifications at the entrance of the village and in the village.
For Wu Zhongyi, he knew very well that these fortifications could be of great use in the future if they were built now. If there are fortifications, even if they encounter a surprise attack by little devils in the future, they will not be without the slightest preparation for a defensive counterattack.
Upon learning of this, some of the new recruits and villagers who had just joined the army also joined the ranks of the fortifications. When the little devil really came out of Dongguan and went straight to Zhangbei Village, Zhao Tiehu also knew that his guess was right.
When the traitors were executed in the town last night, Zhao Tiehu directly stated that he was here to avenge the people killed in Zhangbei Village. As long as the little devil is not stupid, he can guess that the head of the little devil who was cut off should be placed in Zhangbei Village.
Upon learning of this situation, Zhao Tiehu first transferred all the villagers and recruits into the mountain. As for some of the villagers' valuables, they were also transferred to the mountains. In the whole village, only the combat detachment and a part of the guerrillas remained.
Taking advantage of the fact that he would stay in Qi County for a few days in the future, Zhao Tiehu also hoped to teach these guerrillas well. Only when these guerrillas are truly trained and tempered can they become the military backbone of the guerrillas in the future.
When Zhao Tiehu finished setting up the minefield and began to return to the village to make some traps. The raiding team led by Liu Cheng had already seen the large Japanese troops that had begun to enter the mountains towards Zhangbei Village.
Looking at the Japanese outpost squad that appeared in sight, the raiding team in groups of five also stayed in the jungle next to the mountain road and waited quietly. It wasn't until they got into range that the five raiders immediately pulled the trigger in their hands.
'Bang bang' gunshots rang out, and four of the five little devils who walked in front to scout and reconnoiter were killed on the spot. The remaining one was also hit by the vital point, fell to the ground and began to scream.
The Japanese squad in charge of reconnaissance at the outpost also quickly entered combat mode. Seeing that the little devil's machine gun began to fire, the squad leader who led the team immediately said: "Withdraw, see if the little devil chases, if you chase them, you will fight them for a while." ”
'Yes, squad leader! ’
The five members of the team quickly got up and walked towards the bushes in the mountains. The Japanese outpost team also quickly attacked. During their attack, the five members of the team opened fire from time to time.
After killing a few little devils again, the five team members finally managed to get out of the sight of the little devils. The little devil who began to pursue in the mountains, except for touching two treacherous mines, did not find any whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army at all.
Seeing that the attacking team members were getting closer and closer to the mountain, the team leader who led the team suddenly ordered: "Stop the pursuit, this is the Tubalu raiding team, they should be deliberately delaying time." Ignore it and move on! ”
Even if he was a little unwilling, the Japanese squad leader was also worried that if he continued to pursue, he would fall into the traps and ambush circles set by the Eighth Route Army in the mountains. resolutely disengaged with them and went straight to Zhangbei Village, the destination of their trip.
After all, the main task of their visit to Zhangbei Village this time was to retrieve the heads that had been cut off by the Eighth Route Army. As long as this combat mission can be completed, the extermination of the Eighth Route Army can only be a bypassing task.
If the Eighth Route Army didn't want to get their heads back, they could only fight a decisive battle with them in Zhangbei Village. In this way, the initiative is in the hands of the Japanese army responsible for the attack, and will not be led by the nose by the Eighth Route Army!
