Chapter 314: Night Raid on the Cavalry Garrison
Looking at the place where the cavalry brigade in front was stationed, Song Yuping, who led two reconnaissance battalions and special operations detachments to touch here, also sighed that the little devil cavalry would choose a place, this is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is open.
I thought that these cavalrymen would choose to live in villages and towns. As a result, these little devils of the cavalry brigade finally chose an open field similar to the plain, and set up the temporary camp in the center of the open field.
In order to ensure the safety of those military horses, Song Yuping finally decided to carry out the attack by infiltrating the special operations detachment. Anyway, there is a reconnaissance battalion to cooperate with the guerrillas, and even if it takes a little more time, this cavalry brigade will not be able to escape the encirclement.
In a word, this cavalry brigade is a turtle in an urn, and when and how to catch it depends on Song Yuping's decision. Avoiding long nights and dreams, Song Yuping felt that it was better to deal with them as soon as possible and concentrate on dealing with the infantry wing that was trapped in Bowang.
Pointing to the small high ground around the open field, Song Yuping looked at the two reconnaissance battalion commanders beside him and said: "The night attack at night is the responsibility of the members of our martial arts team, and you are responsible for the vigilance of the periphery, remember not to let the cavalry break out."
There is still a lot of time before dawn, and once our infiltration is discovered by the other party, I believe that the little devil will definitely send troops to break through. Even at night, once the cavalry rushes up, it is still more difficult to round up. ”
'Captain Song, don't you really need our cooperation?' ’
'Nope! When we touch it, we'll change into the military uniform of the little devil. Our martial arts team is all Japanese, and if we really want to fight, the little devils may not be able to expose us. But if you go over, I'm afraid it's going to be very troublesome. ’
As soon as they heard Song Yuping's words, the two reconnaissance battalion commanders also knew that it was indeed a troublesome thing to want to infiltrate the cavalry battalion of the little devils. In contrast, this kind of thing is a matter of course for Song Yuping and others.
With the cooperation of the two reconnaissance battalions, with the cooperation of the guerrillas, they will build blocking fortifications near the open field. Song Yuping and his entourage began to change their clothes to prepare for the subsequent infiltration operation. Tonight is another night of killing for them!
Looking at the special combat personnel who had changed into the military uniform of the little devil and escaped into the night, the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion who were on guard on the periphery were also very envious. And they also know that they can also learn a lot from cooperating with the martial arts team this time.
Even the two battalion commanders knew that after the end of the anti-encirclement campaign, if the military engineering team wanted to recruit people, they would give priority to selecting them from their reconnaissance battalions. This also means that in the future, they may also become part of the martial arts team.
The garrison was set up in the open field, and most of the cavalrymen who carried tents lived in tents. The cavalry guards arranged on the periphery also did not have sabers with them, and they were deployed like infantry camps.
Considering that the view at night was not very good, these cavalrymen found a lot of dry firewood, and even demolished many people's door panels to use as fuel. Although it is not possible to monitor all places, it is also effective in preventing the infiltration of large numbers of troops.
The closer you get to where the core camp is located, the denser the patrols there become. In addition to the deployment of bright posts, the cavalry brigade also deployed a lot of lurking posts, so that it can be said that it is dangerous for those who carry out sneak attacks at night.
Adopting the method of crawling forward, the special operations detachment launched infiltration from all sides. Although this kind of open land is conducive to cavalry assault, it also has disadvantages. The direction that needs to be guarded by guard, likewise is kept in the town or village more.
The special combat team members who groped their way forward quickly bent forward in groups of almost five. Approaching the first cordon set up by the cavalry brigade, the group of five crawled forward with a bow and crossbow, one with a rifle, and one with a submachine gun.
According to the detected situation, the guards arranged by the Japanese cavalry brigade on the periphery were also in groups of three. It's just that before launching an attack, the special combat team members carrying submachine guns and rifles must first touch through the gap.
The other three crossbowmen were hiding in the shadows, and the riflemen and submachine gunners went out in advance to check if there were any lurking posts in the shadows. Only by confirming that the crossbowman raid will not be detected can the fatal blow be inflicted.
After crawling for some distance, the two special operators who crawled side by side soon spotted a visible lurking post in front of them. Given the situation, the rifleman nodded at the submachine gunner, who carried the submachine gun on his back.
Draw the saber strapped to your leg and carefully grope your way through the side until you reach the back of the lurking post before striking the fatal blow. After making the gesture, the rifleman put two fingers into his mouth and made a bug sound.
Even if the learning is not very similar, it will not make too many people doubt. As for the three Japanese guards who were staying near the fire, when they looked at the insects with suspicious expressions, three crossbow arrows had already arrived in an instant.
At the same time as the crossbow arrows were fired, three special combat team members also escaped from the shadows. Dragged the three sentinels, dead or not, into the shadows, while the three of them began to act as sentinels and launch a surprise attack on the second guard post.
Song Yuping, who led the infiltration team, was thinking that everything was going well in the attack tonight, but a gunshot suddenly sounded from the side, and he suddenly knew that it was exposed. At this time, he didn't show too much nervousness.
Holding the 38 big cover in his hand, he took the two special combat team members and approached the machine gun position backwards as if they were very dutiful. In this case, the Japanese troops in the machine-gun position could not see their faces clearly, and naturally did not know that they were impersonating.
Just a few meters away from the machine gun position, after Song Yuping made a 'ready' gesture to the two special combat soldiers beside him, the 38 big cover that had been held in his hand suddenly raised and shouted: "What person? ”
At the same time, a shot was fired into the shadows, and of course there was nothing there. But this gunshot undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Japanese troops at the machine gun position. But when the two special combat personnel quickly retreated a few steps, the Japanese troops in the machine gun position did not find anything.
At night, the sight itself is not good, and some people don't see too far. As for the three patrolmen who retreated to their positions, they had no suspicion that someone was impersonating.
Wait until the Japanese cavalry in the machine-gun position is ready to shoot at any time with the machine gun in hand. The two special combat members had already thrown the 38 big cover in their hands to the ground, drew their sabers and flipped into the machine gun position.
One left and one right quickly slashed, and the four cavalry machine gunners guarding the machine gun position collapsed in a pool of blood before they had time to react. And the light machine guns they carried naturally fell into the hands of the special combat officers.
Where the gunshots were heard before, it was already loud. At this time, Song Yuping saw that the place where the cavalry brigade in front of him was located had become lively, and some people were even preparing to ride horses.
Thinking of this, Song Yuping immediately said, "You two are in charge of this machine gun position, and the others will continue to move forward with me." Wipe out all the little devils in our direction, rush into the barracks of the little devils, and use submachine guns to carry out melee combat. ”
'Yes! ’
Retaining two members of the team to control the small number of machine guns in the cavalry brigade, Song Yuping pretended to be a patrol member who rushed to support, and constantly asked the special combat team members around him to obliterate the Japanese patrol members who also rushed to support.
Compared with the members of the special operations team he brought today, everyone stuffed a white towel in the pocket of their military uniform to distinguish friend from foe. The other little devils didn't know that anyone had mixed into their ranks.
In the process of fighting, Song Yuping and others also slowly approached the camp in the center. Seeing that the situation was almost the same, Song Yuping ordered: "Assault team, change guns, rush in and end up with them!" ”
The special combat team members who followed him had already gathered nearly 20 people, and the commandos with submachine guns threw the 38 large covers to the ground, drew out the submachine guns they carried, and launched strafing at the unprepared sentries.
The cavalry, who had been paying attention to the flank, suddenly heard fierce gunfire from the other side, and immediately realized that there was also an enemy attack on this side. It's just that in the face of special combat soldiers with extremely accurate marksmanship, many cavalrymen who have lost their horses are not opponents at all.
With Song Yuping's raid team, they successfully rushed into the cavalry camp, and the Japanese cavalry stationed here also looked a little flustered. I don't know, they should stick in that direction.
Until the assembled cavalry found that they had been broken by the night attackers in two directions, the Japanese cavalry captain immediately said: "All cavalry squadrons get on their horses and prepare for battle, fire flares!" Pull out the enemy! ”
With the two cavalry squadrons assembled, they began to prepare for a cavalry charge from both sides. The Japanese cavalry, who watched the flares pierce the night sky and prepared to search for the attackers, found that there seemed to be no one in the camp.
The captain of the cavalry brigade, who was also sitting on his horse, immediately said: "Baga, the enemy must have worn our military uniform!" All the members of the group first retreated to the outside of the barracks on horseback to empty the barracks. Watch the people around you! ”
Just when the captain of the cavalry group realized that the people who attacked his station were most likely wearing their uniforms. Song Yuping, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the cavalry captain with epaulettes, and immediately picked up a 38 big cover rifle.
Holding it in his hand, taking advantage of the burning light of the flare, he knocked it down on his horse with a single shot. By the time the cavalry captain fell to the ground, the flares over the camp quickly dimmed again.
Under such circumstances, the special combat personnel hiding in the shadows began a new round of massacre. Knowing that the situation was getting worse and worse, a Japanese soldier immediately said: "Continue to fire flares, and all the horses on board rush out of the camp to the open area." ”
Under his order, many Japanese cavalrymen who found their horses quickly rushed out of the barracks under the instructions of the flares. At this time, the special combat team members also did not dare to shoot at will.
The reason is very simple, in the face of these charging cavalry, once they find themselves as enemies, even if they are experienced in a hundred battles, they will not be able to withstand the lethality brought by the cavalry charge!
Hide in the tents that the little devil cavalry failed to take, and watch the cavalry rush out of the camp. At this time, the special combat team members who stayed in the machine gun position outside the barracks began to shoot frantically, and the cavalry that rushed out was harvested for the second time.
The machine-gun positions that the Japanese cavalry had previously placed outside have now become the existence of harvesting their lives. In this case, what the Japanese cavalry could do was to rush out of here as fast as possible and escape from the range of the special combat forces! (To be continued.) )
