Chapter Seventy-Five: Ambush of the Convoy
As soon as Gao Quan said that he agreed to go to Dongqiao Town, Hong Yingying immediately became happy, holding Gao Quan's hand and shaking it, like a coquettish little girl.
Gao Quan pulled Hong Yingying to stand in front of the map, and the two watched the terrain around Dongqiao Town together. When Gao Quan assigned tasks to several brigade commanders just now, he had already marked the areas for which each unit was responsible on this operational map. Now that the two of them look at it again, the distribution position of the various units of the 500 Army along Zhongxiang and Jingshan is clear.
Donggyo Town is a major town on Gyeongjong Road, which runs through the middle of the town. From Zhongxiang to the east, Jingzhong Road to Dongqiao turned southeast to Jingshan Mountain. The East Bridge is at the bend. If the Dongqiao puppet army revolts, the devils in Zhongxiang and Jingshan will be able to rush over in a few hours.
The vicinity of Dongqiao Town is the area under the responsibility of the 201 Brigade, and during the uprising of the puppet army division, if Zhong Xiang or the Jingshan devil comes quickly, the 201 Brigade can still cover it. Of course, now the task has just been assigned, but with Wang Dazhu's impatient temper, he must have taken the troops out immediately after he went back, and this cover problem seems to be no need to worry.
Next, it's to figure out how many devils there are in Dongqiao Town, if there is only this puppet military division stationed there, then it will be easy to do. However, according to the habits of the devil all along, and the strategic location of Dongqiao Town, this possibility is almost non-existent. So, all that's left is to figure out how many devils there are in the town, and the deployment of the devils in the city.
According to the report of the reconnaissance group, today there will be a brigade of devils in Jingshan to escort a batch of supplies urgently needed by the front line through Zhongxiang to Xiangyang. Jingjonglu has been covered by several brigades of the 500 Army, and this large convoy originally didn't have to worry about Gao Quan, but the intelligence sent by the reconnaissance group said that when the escort team passed through Dongshan Town, a group of puppet troops would be replenished, and the deputy division commander of the puppet army who had contact with the reconnaissance regiment was also among them, and these puppet troops who followed the escort were all soldiers under the deputy division commander of the puppet army!
In this case, it seems that there is an opportunity to make a name for yourself. Gao Quan pondered for a while, and then found Sun Yuanqing, Kong Xuan, and Shi Lei.
"Yuanqing, Lao Kong, Shishi, come with me to do a job this time." Gao Quan said, and led the two to the map. "Here, Li Jiapo, I'm preparing to ambush the enemy. Bring you here, of course, the main force of this operation is mainly your three troops, and of course, there is also the guard company of the Golden Tiger. Gao Quan was talking to the three regiment commanders, and the golden tiger next to him suddenly moved, looking like he wanted to speak, and Gao Quan hurriedly added the guards. The army commander led the team to fight, and if the guard company didn't follow, it is estimated that the company commander of Jin Hu would have a lot of opinions, right?
The pre-war meeting was very short, or this was not called a meeting at all, Gao Quan just explained the task to a few of his generals, and these regiment commanders went back to reorganize the army.
"There is only one main point of the battle, that is, the puppet army must try to catch alive as much as possible, and the devil must die. As for the deputy division commander of the puppet army, his life must be guaranteed, and he must be captured alive! There are small stones in charge of this. ”
The devil's cart brigade is composed of more than 100 mule-drawn animal carts, and on the highway, two carriages run side by side, discharging all the way.
Since he had chosen to fight an ambush, Gao Quan of course had to prepare, and in the middle of the night, he led his troops to dig trench bunkers on both sides of the road. The artillery regiment of the military headquarters also pulled over a company, and Commander Fan personally led the team to help the military seat, and Fan Berlin was happy with it. It's just that the artillery company commander has a slight opinion. Originally, there were not a few cannons, and he could play by himself, and the regiment commander ran over to join in the fun?
More than a hundred wagons loaded with goods lined up on the road, and although there was no roar of engines, the movement was not small. Before I saw the shadow, there was a faint sound of the bell of "Ding Ling Ding Ling" in the wind, which was the sound of the horse bell hanging under the horse's neck, with the footsteps of the livestock. Smoke and dust gradually drifted in the distance, and more than a hundred carts, even if there was only one animal on each cart, and hundreds of bowl-sized hooves stepped on the ground, it was enough to stir up sand and dust flying all over the sky.
Participating in the ambush operation included a guard company of the 500 Army headquarters, a special service regiment, a reconnaissance regiment, a cavalry regiment, and a company of an artillery regiment. Except for the cavalry regiment, which was prepared to attack from both sides and copy the enemy's rear road, the rest of the troops were ambushed on both sides of the road to participate in the ambush. Of course, the position of the artillerymen must be behind, and they are waiting for orders in a hidden place more than two kilometers away from the battlefield.
Thousands of troops, Gao Quan divided them into three sections, and the total length of the ambush exceeded two kilometers. Their ambush this time is not to beat the devils away, but to eliminate them as much as possible, and strive to make no one of the devils who came out this time go back!
Gao Quan leaned on the observation port of the headquarters and looked out. This headquarters is a large pit of more than 30 square meters dug by the soldiers with sappers and shovels, and the top is covered with a roof made of tree branches, and this is the military headquarters of the 500th Army for the time being.
There are now three people in the observation port, holding three telescopes and looking out. The one in the middle is Gao Quan, and the one on the left is Hong Yingying. Director Hong was dressed in a military uniform, with two box cannons in his waist, and six flying knives hanging in his clothes, which was majestic and murderous, much more imposing than Gao Quan, a genuine commander. The one on the other side who is also dressed in military uniform, holding a telescope in his hand and a camera box on his chest, is of course Tang Wenjuan.
In the name of being a war correspondent, Tang Wenjuan strongly asked to go to the front line to experience it in person, but Gao Quan couldn't resist it, so she had to fulfill her wish. At this moment, Tang Wenjuan's face was both nervous and excited, and she asked Gao Quan dozens of questions in a row, but she didn't get an answer from Commander Gao. Even the most naïve and ignorant of things know that now is not the time for interviews and questions.
Seeing Gao Quan ignoring her, Tang Wenjuan's eyes widened, and she just wanted to be coquettish, but she suddenly realized that the time and place were all wrong, this was a battlefield! Don't dare to mess around with Gao Quan anymore and interfere with the commander's decision-making, it is extremely dangerous! With a roll of her eyes, the Tang reporter took out a notebook from his arms, took out a pen and began to write her "Battlefield Experience".
The convoy slowly drove by more than two hundred meters away in front of him, and Gao Quan quietly observed the escorts on the convoy. There were two devils sitting in each car, and a team of puppet soldiers was followed next to the car. The puppet army is also unlucky enough, the devils ride in the car, and they run underground with the livestock.
Of course, not all the puppet troops are running on the ground, and there are also puppet soldiers sitting on the back half of the convoy, and it seems that the two devils in each car can't get together, so they have to use the puppet army to make up the number.
"Order the cavalry regiment to attack!" As soon as the guns rang out, the devil puppet army would inevitably be chaotic, and in order to prevent these guys from escaping, it was necessary for the cavalry to go out first to block the retreat of these guys.
Kong Lao Er was standing impatiently waiting next to his horse, when the communicator holding the phone suddenly shouted: "Order the military seat, the cavalry regiment will attack!" ”
"Get on the horse! Blow the trumpet, follow me! The commander of the cavalry turned over and got on his horse, shouted, and galloped forward.
