From the beginning of arranging the ambush, Song Yuping thought about how to annihilate these Japanese troops staying in the river in one fell swoop. For this kind of ambush, Song Yuping also encountered it for the first time, and he was also very cautious when deploying the battle plan.

According to the information sent back by the reconnaissance detachment, the Japanese river defense unit that entered the Guxi River had two gunboats followed by tugboats and kayaks. How to choose a suitable place, it does take some thought to completely annihilate this Japanese army.

The first three attacks were naturally feints to paralyze the invading Japanese river defense troops. Let them feel that when Tu's defenders know they are coming. But what can be done is to use this harassment tactic to slow them down.

The ambush point is located at this bend more because the terrain here is suitable, even if the river here is relatively wide. However, because of the turning port, the water here is relatively fast, which is conducive to creating a blockage of the river and allowing the gunboats to slow down.

As a result, it was natural that the river defense force, which planned to attack Dangtu through the Guxi River, really thought that the harassing troops on both sides of the river bank were deliberately slowing down their advance and buying time for the defenders in the city to move.

It is with this speculation that it is a bit inappropriate to know that the tugboat is too close to the gunboat. But in the face of these large number of sharpened rafts, both gunboat commanders felt that it was most appropriate to follow behind the gunboats.

Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and now the two gunboats have completely lost the ability to protect. It even poses a great threat to the wooden tugboat that follows the gunboat, and if it does collide, the tugboat behind it will be capsized.

If you fall into the river, you may not die, but in the midst of this rapid, it is in this kind of winter. Presumably every little devil knows the consequences of falling into the river, and if you don't die, you will shed your skin!

Accompanied by two gunboats, one completely capsized and drifted downstream, while the other gunboat also lost its ability to defend itself. Bearing the mortar that fell from the sky one after another, until the same loss of power and drifted downstream.

Seeing this scene, Song Yuping smiled and said, "Okay, we can let our people go over to clean up the battlefield." ”

The officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion, who had been waiting for a long time, as well as the young men who were fishing nearby, floated their fishing boats towards the section of the river that was still under shelling. Those bamboo rafts that blocked and did not move quickly became a stepping stone for the attacking troops.

The children of fishermen holding long poles are very close to the capsized gunboats by holding these bamboo rafts. Some Japanese soldiers who climbed onto the bamboo raft to survive were also directly killed by the officers and men of the reconnaissance unit approaching one after another, and they were directly killed on the bamboo raft or in the river.

With the two gunboats and the tugboat, they were finally washed up on the beach next to the bend, and there was not a single living devil in sight of the entire river except for the dead bodies. For the special combat team, it is their aim not to leave the little devils alive.

Looking at the corpses of the little devils who were dragged ashore one after another, Song Yuping looked at these young people with pale expressions, but said with a smile: "Don't treat these little devils as people, just treat them as beasts that you salvaged from the river."

Although this beast can't be cooked, it's also very valuable. Remember to take all the clothes off these little devils and bring them back later. Looking at the velvet pants worn by the little devil? This thing is very warm, and it is not heavy to wear.

As far as the little devil is concerned, it is estimated that you may not be able to earn half a year of fishing. All the clothes on the little devil's body are yours. Go back and change it, wear it yourself or for your family, make sure it's very decent, don't dislike it, it's dead!

As for the other equipment on the little devil's body, many of us in the New Fourth Army like it, so it's not good to give it to you for the time being. However, when you have the opportunity to enter the New Fourth Army in the future, I believe you will know that this equipment is good.

In addition, I took a look, and there are still a lot of picks and grain on those two tugboats, and I will have someone put some for you later. Of course, I also work hard for you to touch the weapon that the little devil fell into the river, we are very short of weapons! ”

'Okay! Please rest assured, we will get this done! ’

Listening to Song Yuping, these little devils gave them all the clothes and boots. These young people, who are also knowledgeable about goods, know very well that this set of clothes on the little devil is really not a good thing that money can buy!

As for the clothes worn by the dead, who cares about the clothes they have eaten all year after year?

Calling a reconnaissance company commander, Song Yuping said directly: "The matter of cleaning up the battlefield will be handed over to you." According to what I just said, the clothes on these little devils, and every young man who helps with the salvage will give them a few sets.

The extra ones will be sent to the base along with other supplies at that time. Remember, the machine guns and artillery on the gunboat were also found to remove them all. As for the gunboat, it was dragged back into the middle of the river and sunk. ”

'Yes! ’

There are two gunboats blocking the river, although it does not affect the direction of the river, but it can effectively prevent the gunboats of the little devils in the later period from entering the Guxi River. If the gunboats of the sinking river are not towed, it is impossible for the gunboats of the little devils to drive into Dangtu City.

Leaving a reconnaissance company to guard the river, Song Yuping led the other combat team members and soon returned to the location of the Dangtu garrison camp that had withdrawn into the mountains. Regarding their return, Battalion Commander Zhu and they are very concerned.

Just looking at the 38 big covers carried by many scouts, Battalion Commander Zhu was very happy and said, "Captain Song, the little devil has cleaned up?" ”

'Two squadrons of little devils, two small gunboats, it's settled! However, I left a reconnaissance company there, and many of the children of nearby fishermen were salvaging weapons and supplies that had fallen into the river.

Wait for the trouble Camp Commander Zhu, make some hot rice and send it over with ginger syrup. As for the seized materials, I will also bother Battalion Commander Zhu to send some people to move them back here. There is a lot of food and ammunition on board, and it will be stored here when the time comes. ’

Hearing that the two Japanese squadrons that were attacking were completely annihilated, Battalion Commander Zhu also felt incredible. But when he heard that a lot of supplies on the ship had also been seized, he was naturally happy. After all, this camp has to feed a lot of people!

After having dinner in this temporary camp where Battalion Commander Zhu and his command of the garrison were responsible, Song Yuping also said to Battalion Commander Zhu very seriously when he was eating: "Battalion Commander Zhu, although the river is temporarily blocked, it may not be safe.

Most importantly, there is currently a Japanese brigade that has begun to attack Chuzhou. If the situation on the Ma'anshan side changes, I believe they will send troops to attack us from the northern Anhui side.

Therefore, your next task is to ensure the safety of the surrounding area of Dangtu. Once you find that there are Japanese troops coming from northern Anhui, I hope you will do your best to block the attack and buy time for our troops to move.

Here, in addition to your garrison battalion, one of our guerrilla brigades will also cooperate with you. When the time comes, if there is any emergency, please inform me in time. In this case, I will be able to let go of my hands and feet on Bowang's side.

If there is a small army infiltrating from Bowang, remember what I said before. Don't fight to the death with the little devils, all you have to do is to use your knowledge of the terrain here to drag these little devils.

Turn the incoming Japanese wing into a Japanese brigade, then divide the brigade into squadrons, and finally divide it into squads. Finally, concentrate the troops at your disposal, and if you feel that it is possible to annihilate the opponent, you will be bold and attack.

Since you are from the teaching corps, I believe that in the battlefield command, you should have a better way than me, who was born in mud. But there's only one thing to remember, remember not to die with the little devils, understand? ”

'Please rest assured, Captain Song, since we have chosen to stay, we will definitely cooperate with your battle. I also hope that if you find any hostile situation ahead, please inform us in time. ’

'Don't worry! When the time comes, I will send you a message by telegram or someone from a guerrilla brigade. But with strangers, you should also remember to be careful. The spy of the little devil is still very insidious! ’

After explaining a lot of things, Song Yuping also deliberately left a reconnaissance company to cooperate with the local guerrilla brigade to fight. There is a reconnaissance company here, even if this battalion commander Zhu wants to do some kind of demon moth, I believe that he can deal with it in time.

It's not that Song Yuping doesn't believe in the determination of this Zhu battalion commander to resist the war, but he feels that he shouldn't hand over the safety of the flanks to the other party with real peace of mind. Any time you think about a back road, you will have more hope for life.

When Song Yuping took the rest of the scouts and began to march towards the Bowang area. The guerrillas operating in the Bowang area also launched a night raid in the face of the intruding Japanese infantry wing.

For the Japanese infantry wing, which was the first to enter Bowang, they truly felt incredible. The reason is that when they entered Bowang, they found that the villages they passed through were empty, and there were no people in some small towns.

'Yaga, why is there no one?' ’

The captain of the Japanese army who led the team into Bowang scolded very angrily. For the Japanese army, many times their supplies were on the spot. But this time, no one could be found, let alone supplies.

'Captain, it seems that these Chinese troops have really moved the people here. Previously, our search team inspected several villages and found that although the houses in those villages were locked, all the food in them had been taken away.

Even the wells used to get water in many villages have been temporarily filled. With the supplies we are carrying now, we can support up to five days. You see, are we going to pause for a moment and wait for the follow-up main force to come up and set off again? ’

The failure to implement on-the-spot resupply meant that all supplies had to be transported by their baggage troops. And they don't know at this moment that the road they had traveled before has now become potholed.

If the follow-up materials want to be transported in, it is estimated that the difficulty is not ordinary. The most important thing is that the lone Japanese infantry wing will now have a difficult time even if they want to leave Bowang. Because, the special operations detachment has already set its sights on them.

If they start to retreat now, shorten the distance with the main force after them, and give up the baggage that affects their speed, they may still be able to escape the impending catastrophe. But it was not easy to enter Bowang first, how could this team retreat without a fight? (To be continued.) )
