Chapter 17: A Night of Chaos Begins!
Compared with the Japanese army's rule in North China and Central China, the puppet army also needs to run errands for them and do what they can. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the Imperial Association Army formed by the Kwantung Army in the Northeast is more loyal than the puppet army outside the Guan.
In the past, most of the night defense tasks in Mengjiang City were mainly carried out by the Imperial Allied Army and patrolled and inspected by the Japanese army. But tonight, because the Imperial Allied troops who left the city did not return to the city, the Japanese troops stationed in Mengjiang could only personally go out to watch night duty.
Although the snow has begun to melt, snow can still be seen everywhere in the Mengjiang River, which is located in the Changbai Mountain area. Such a night patrol is not a very comfortable errand. But it's not worth duty, and it's unlikely to come to me.
In any case, Mengjiang City was still very important to the Japanese army. What's more, this is an area where the Anti-Japanese Federation often operates, who knows that the Anti-Japanese Federation will attack Mengjiang City at night that day? If you don't send some sentries to stand guard and patrol, no one can rest assured!
As long as it gets dark, the people who are active in the city during the day also dare not go out casually. As far as these people are concerned, they don't want to run into little devils at night. If the little devils see that they are still walking around at night, they will inevitably suffer from flesh and skin.
The people in the city, who are accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early, are used to not going out most of the nights. Therefore, Mengjiang City, which was still a little noisy during the day, became very quiet at night.
The action team that had already lurked into the city did not start at nightfall. All the members of the operation team, hiding in an underground safety point dug in the city, rested in advance and prepared to start the operation in the middle of the night.
Although Hu Youliang only found Chen Xunli, an underground party in Mengjiang, in fact, there is still an underground party in the city. For the sake of safety, Hu Youliang did not inform Chen Xunli that there was also a traffic station of the Eighth Route Army in the city.
Of course, the Eighth Route Army's traffic station in the city also didn't know about the existence of Chen Xunli. This has only one purpose, and that is to ensure that another person is not involved in a leak at a traffic station.
And the underground safety point where the task force is resting at the moment was built by the Eighth Route Army's traffic station here. In the event of an emergency, this underground security point can also be quickly transferred from underground to other parts of the city.
Being able to get such a safe point under the nose of the little devil is enough to show that the intelligence officer at the traffic station still spent a lot of money and thought. But in any case, such underground safety points are undoubtedly very important.
It will also be more convenient to store some supplies and ammunition. At least for Hu Youliang and the others, entering this safe spot directly after entering the city to stand by and rest will also reduce their chance of exposure, and they will not startle the snake in advance!
With the lights still on in all but a few places in the city, many areas where people live seem to be very quiet. The Japanese soldiers who patrolled from time to time also listened carefully to the patrol area to see if there were any voices worthy of their vigilance.
It was only as the night deepened, the wind became heavier and the temperature became colder, and the Japanese patrols, which had already carried out several patrols, undoubtedly reduced the frequency of patrols. For the Japanese troops in the city, they all felt that the Anti-Union was not so bold.
What's more, in the past, as long as they went to the streets, not to mention that the anti-union people did not dare to appear, and even petty theft was rare. At night, as long as the people they bumped into had to shed their skin if they didn't die, which was even stricter than the curfew policy.
Just when all the members of the team were resting quietly in their sleeping bags at the underground safety point, only a few sleepers on duty were arranged. The rest of the team members also seized the time to rest and recover their mental and physical strength for the next battle.
Whether it is a member of the Saber Special Combat Team or an elite scout drawn from the Reconnaissance Brigade, they have learned from He Zhengdao that they should seize all the time to rest and not easily waste precious rest time.
The better you rest, the better you can play when you fight. And last night was undoubtedly a very busy night for them. Now that I have time, I naturally need to take a good rest.
When the sentry on duty saw that the time on his watch had pointed to zero o'clock, a person immediately walked into the basement and woke up Hu Youliang, who was also resting. When Hu Youliang woke up, other members of the action team also woke up one after another.
'Comrades, check the weapons and ammunition, get ready to work!' ’
When he instructed these members who had just woken up to start checking their weapons and ammunition, Hu Youliang called the sentry again and asked, "Is there any movement in the city?" ”
'Captain, no! Previously, our scouts conducted a reconnaissance of the Japanese troops in the city every hour, and did not find any major movements of the Japanese troops. Everything seemed normal, and they didn't know we were in town. ’
Listening to the sentinel's answer, Hu Youliang also sneered: "I want to come!" Over the years, as the Anti-Japanese Federation was driven into the mountains to fight guerrillas, no one in this county dared to touch the moldy head of the little devils.
However, since we are here tonight, we should make a good fuss. Not to mention how many little devils are eliminated, at least the command headquarters set up by the little devils in the city must be defeated and the arrogance of the little devils must be extinguished.
Dashan, you guys wait a minute, remember to be fast, and move as soon as the matter is done. Now we are too far away from the commanders, it is not easy to replenish anything, and we must save on ammunition, you know? ”
Hearing Hu Youliang's order, a special combat team member who was wiping a door of 60 forced immediately smiled and said, "Captain, don't worry!" When did I do things in the mountains? Tonight, the little devil will not wake up in his sleep! ”
Considering the action team that entered the city tonight, there were actually only about two dozen members. It is a little troublesome to fight against the hundreds of Japanese troops who are left in the city in front of you. For this reason, Hu Youliang deliberately sought out the key points of the Japanese army.
One is the military camp set up in the city by the little devils, and the other is the garrison headquarters of the little devils. Of course, the seat of the puppet government is also a target for their attack. The material warehouse located in the city, Hu Youliang also has ideas.
It's just that considering their limited manpower, Hu Youliang's combat principle tonight is to focus on killing and injuring the living forces of the little devils, supplemented by seizing materials. Compared to last night's combat mission, it is still somewhat different.
As many officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route said, killing a little devil will leave the Japanese army with one less soldier or officer. Maybe by doing so, we will save a lot of good people and will no longer be bullied by the little devils.
When, the little devil who killed was terrified, and the little devil who killed could no longer transfer troops from the country, then this war might be a victory. This kind of principle of accumulating small victories into big victories is understood by many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
Most of the special operators who used pistols in last night's operation have also been replaced with assault rifles or submachine guns today. Of course, the silenced pistols that were given to them will be brought with them tonight.
It is also very common for special combat personnel to carry two guns with them!
Everything was ready, and the sentry who was on duty at the exit also quickly returned: "The little devil's patrol has just passed, and we can go." ”
'Okay, let's do it!' The teams, in accordance with the combat mission we have previously assigned, operate in accordance with the combat mission we have previously assigned. Once the mission is complete, go out of the city through the south gate. The assault camp team must find a way to seize a few more cars and use them to pull things later. ’
'Yes, Captain! ’
With Hu Youliang waving his hand, these action team members who had rested in the middle of the night also dived out of the underground safety points one after another according to the earlier grouping situation. It didn't take long for them to appear in some key places of the Japanese army.
Snipers and assaulters who cooperate with the mortar team to take advantage of the terrain and lurk at the first time. At this time, the three special combat team members who used the artillery also began to erect the three 60 guns they carried.
Dashan, who was in charge of the command, said very carefully: "Six shells per person, and call it a day after the fight." The target of the first round of shells was the residence of the little devil garrison officer. The rest of the attacks were targeted by other rooms of the garrison headquarters. ”
'Know! The terrain there, we have already scouted, and we guarantee that there will be no problems! ’
When everything was ready, looking at the time displayed on the watch, it was already time for the shelling to begin. Dashan also said in a timely manner: "Listen to my command, three, two, one, fire!" ”
The three men who were holding a shell at the mouth of the barrel let go almost at the same time. When the cannonball slid into the barrel and made a 'tom' sound, three cannonballs with fire flew into the little devil's garrison headquarters in a beautiful arc.
Although the penetration of mortar shells is not very strong, the problem is that the house of the little devil in the city is also not very strong. Three shells pierced the roof tiles and then fell to the floor of the room and exploded.
'Boom, boom' three explosions sounded almost simultaneously, and instantly swept through the entire room. Kazuki Watanabe, who was resting in the room, felt a loud sound just before he could open his eyes, and he fell into eternal darkness.
The sound of a loud explosion also pierced the otherwise quiet night sky. The Japanese soldiers who were patrolling, looking at the place where the explosion occurred, said with some astonishment: "Cannons? Command direction? How can it be? ”
For many Japanese officers and soldiers, in the course of their past confrontations with the Anti-Japanese Union, they rarely encountered the fact that the Anti-Japanese Union had artillery. As for the city, even the Imperial Army is only qualified to be equipped with machine guns and rifles.
Similar to this mortar, except in wartime situations. Otherwise, when they are in the city, they are also not qualified to be equipped with such weapons. And where did the mortars of the shelling command come from at this moment?
Even if I couldn't figure out the reason, many Japanese soldiers began to run frantically in the direction of the headquarters. At the same time, the Japanese military camp in the city, which was originally quiet, soon heard a series of rapid emergency assembly whistles.
Just as countless Japanese troops were quickly running out of the dormitory to assemble, the shelling of the headquarters became more and more intense. In just a few minutes, the three mortars had already exhausted all six shells.
Even at this time, the other four mortars erected near the Japanese barracks were ready for shelling. And what they have to do is also to shoot the five artillery shells equipped with them into the barracks of the little devils in the shortest possible time.
And this also means that the chaotic night in Mengjiang City has just begun! (To be continued.) )
