Chapter 11 Fierce Battle Thirteen Villages

Before leaving, Cheng Sankui called Jiang Shan over and said: "Third squad leader, you took the ideas for this battle, and you also came up with the combat methods, so I think that the main attack task this time will be handed over to your third squad!" How, are you confident that you can complete the task? ”

Jiang Shan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, company commander, since I can come up with these ideas, I will definitely have a way to complete them." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info To be honest, if you give the main attack task to other squads, I'm afraid that the soldiers of our third squad will not agree. I have one request, though. ”

Cheng Sankui hurriedly said: "It's all big guys, don't be mother-in-law, talk quickly." Say! What are the requirements? As long as you can take down the Thirteen Zhai strongholds, you just want the moon in the sky, and I will also let Quan Lian take a ladder for you to take it off! ”

Jiang Shan was happy, and said with a smile: "What do I want that thing for, I can't eat or drink." My request was very simple, before the third squad launched the attack, the other squads and platoons cooperated with us, and the earth work was carried out, and the excavation was 50 meters. The whole company of machine guns is equipped with three shifts, how about it? ”

Cheng Sankui scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Civil work is not a problem, our Eighth Route Army is the best at this, but all the machine guns are assigned to the third squad, I'm afraid it's not suitable, right?" The two of us only have five machine guns in total, and the ammunition is not very sufficient, so this time it is all given to you, what about the other platoons? The follow-up firepower can't keep up, who will cover you? ”

Jiang Shan said: "This battle is to be fast, fight quickly, and rush quickly, and catch the enemy by surprise." As a sharp knife, the third squad must have fierce firepower in order to effectively suppress the enemy. Five machine guns are too little. Company commander, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, we can't brave the enemy's dense firepower and rely on Hanyang in our hands to fight them, right? ”

Seeing that Cheng Sankui was still a little hesitant, Jiang Shan threw out his bait. He said to the company commander: "Company commander, I heard the prisoners confess that there is a squad of devils and more than 50 puppet soldiers in the thirteen strongholds. Think about it, so many enemies, how many machine guns can there be? So be it! I promise that when the battle is over, in addition to the five machine guns I used, I will give you two more crooked guns! What do you think? This business is a sure way to make money! ”

Cheng Sankui's eyes lit up by him, as if he saw the oily crooked machine gun in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "In addition to the machine gun, I also want bullets!" Otherwise, it's a burning stick! ”

Jiang Shan agreed without hesitation, and just now Harano Takasuke said that in the Thirteen Villages stronghold, in addition to the grain and baggage of some Japanese troops, there are also weapons and ammunition of a reserve squadron of the Kunisaki detachment. Not to mention a few crooked handles, there are also four or five Type 92 heavy machine guns, as well as grenadiers and mortars. If Jiang Shan told Cheng Sankui all these circumstances, it is estimated that the poor and crazy company commander of the Eighth Route Army would be able to grin to the root of his ears with a smile.

Twenty minutes before the scheduled time for the attack to be launched, Jiang Shan personally sorted out the equipment of the soldiers in the squad for the last time. This was his first command battle since he came to the third squad, and it had to be a hit. Not just to win, but to win!

"The whole class has it, except for weapons and ammunition, all equipment and supplies, and abandon them on the spot!" In this battle, we paid attention to the word "fast", fought quickly and rushed quickly, and took advantage of the Japanese army's failure to react and quickly approached the Japanese stronghold. There is also no way to do it, in terms of weaponry and personnel quality, there is a huge gap between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army, and they are bound to suffer losses in a face-to-face contest of gongs and drums, and only by giving full play to the advantages of close combat and night combat can they win the battle.

The whole company was busy with earthwork over there, digging trenches and moving closer to the Japanese defense line. A dignified main force company, in the set of Jiangshan's tactics, turned into an engineer company. Several soldiers were sweating and digging tunnels, while muttering: "If the third squad leader can't rush in this time, then our tunnel will be dug in vain." ”

"Don't speak, hold on! Where did all this nonsense come from? Liang Jianbin, the leader of the platoon, whispered, "Before leaving, the company commander specially instructed you to keep quiet, and you all have donkey hair stuffed in your ears, right?" If we really alarm the enemy, let's dig a grave for ourselves! ”

As soon as the platoon commander said this, several soldiers stopped talking, lowered their heads and continued to work. This thing is no joke, if it was really because he made a movement and alarmed the devil on the other side. With his current personnel and firepower, he is not enough for the devil to stuff his teeth.

Soil work is a manual job, and if you change to another unit, trying to dig a 30-meter-long tunnel in half an hour is basically tantamount to a fool's dream. Fortunately, most of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were born in crops, and they were used to doing farm work on weekdays, dealing with hoes and iron lifts all day long, and digging a pit was simply a familiar road. In addition, the terrain of the North China Plain is flat and the soil is soft, and in early spring, the land that has been frozen for a winter has begun to thaw, which makes everyone a lot easier.

A little short of two minutes, Jiang Shan hung a dozen grenades on his body, held a Czech-made light machine gun, and stood in the pit with his waist bent. Behind him, there were more than a dozen fighters of the third squad, four or five people in front, a light machine gun, each of whom was loaded with three machine gun magazines in addition to ten grenades with unscrewed caps. Jiang Shan looked behind him and whispered, "No one is allowed to speak for a while, look at my gestures." As soon as I made a gesture, everyone threw three grenades, and then quickly approached the devil's stronghold. When you rush to a distance of 30 meters, throw three more grenades, and then rush to the stronghold in one go, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Although the soldiers of the third class are still a little unconvinced by Jiang Shan, the squad leader who fell from the sky. But in front of the overall situation, the essence of the military still makes them choose to obey orders unconditionally.

Jiang Shan was a little helpless, if his classmates in Germany were here, the number would not be very large, even if there were only ten people, he would be sure to take the Japanese stronghold without blood. Those ruthless characters who have been professionally trained by the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, and their instructors are the famous Otto the Great, known as "the most dangerous man in Europe". Skorzny. With their military qualities, those little ghosts in it are not even small miscellaneous fish.

Jiang Shan raised his wrist to look at his watch, and the hour hand finally arrived at one point. He waved his hand at the warriors behind him and whispered, "Everyone follow me, attack!" After saying that, he took the lead and rushed into the thick night.

The Japanese army would never have dreamed that in their rear, there would be such a fish that slipped through the net. The Japanese puppet army in the stronghold of Thirteen Villages, except for the two listless sentinels, the rest were sleeping soundly. It's like a searchlight, it's just on routinely, and it doesn't play a role at all. Even the two sentries dozed off little by little.
