Chapter Seventy-Three: Reconnaissance Company Infiltration Raid!
As the rear base camp of the independent mixed brigade, there were not many troops left in the camp. www.biquge.info But even so, if the garrison strength of an infantry brigade wants to attack, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money.
Compared with the temporary camp set up by the mixed brigade behind the offensive position at the moment, this base camp for storing materials for the mixed brigade naturally has more defensive measures in place. Idle people and others will not be able to enter this barracks easily.
It was precisely because of the fact that the little devils had done a good job of vigilance and that the reconnaissance battalion of the special division, which was lurking near the barracks, finally thought of a way to infiltrate the surprise attack. Launching a surprise attack from the inside is believed to reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties.
Successfully taking down the reconnaissance company of the convoy transporting wounded soldiers on the front line, Mari replaced the tires that had burst earlier. Picking up the iron nails that had been buried earlier, most of the soldiers in the reconnaissance battalion who disguised themselves as wounded buried some dirty blood on their bodies.
Even in order to increase credibility, scouts who disguised the wounded also picked out some little devils who were missing arms and legs and had already choked their breath to get into the car. In this way, the sentinels of the little devils also knew how fierce the front-line battle was when they looked at the carriage.
When the main force was set off in the morning, many of the little devils who stayed in the barracks felt a little regretful. In their opinion, how could they get the battle merits by staying in the rear to guard the barracks?
However, with the return of the wounded to the camp after two consecutive shipments, the remaining troops who heard that the fighting on the front line was unfavorable felt that they were quite lucky. Stay here, at least save your life. If you go to the front line, you may not be able to come back!
It was learned that the offensive of the front-line troops was unfavorable, but the main force was still in a fierce battle with the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese troops who remained in the rear also strengthened the security around the camp while accommodating the wounded who had been sent to the base camp one after another.
In their opinion, this is the storage of materials that are related to the life and death of the mixed brigade. If the main force is defeated, as long as it retreats here, it is believed that the vitality of the brigade can also be preserved. If even the base camp is lost, they will really be dead.
At the outpost in front of the barracks, looking at the rickety military vehicles, the Japanese squadron leader who led the team also said with a worried face: "The convoy is coming again?" I don't know, if you are transporting the wounded again! ”
As he spoke, the car quickly stopped in front of the checkpoint. Looking at a lieutenant sitting in the car, the Japanese lieutenant also said politely: "Captain, may I ask what is being transported in the car?" ”
'Yaga! What can there be? Haven't you shipped two batches before? Okay, don't talk nonsense, get out of the way. Damn, if you delay the rescue, your sin will be great! ’
Facing the reprimand of the captain, who still had blood on his face, he listened to the screams coming from the back of the carriage. The lieutenant didn't dare to hesitate more, and immediately said, "Let go!" ”
Just to be on the safe side, the lieutenant still took a careful look at the situation in the carriage. Although there is a tarpaulin outside, if you look up at the carriage, you can still clearly see the situation in the carriage.
Looking at the wounded soldiers who were mostly lying and leaning on in the carriage, still moaning, the bloodstains really made the little devil at the sentry point frown. With the addition of this wave of wounded soldiers, three batches of wounded have already been returned.
The problem is that the barracks have a limited number of beds in the field hospital. The wounded were already a headache for the doctors in the field hospital. Now another batch is coming, and I think that the entire barracks will be filled with wounded soldiers.
At these checkpoints the little devils, when the convoy currently transporting the wounded left. The scout lurking near the checkpoint also said excitedly: "Okay, the fourth company has passed the level in confusion." Inform the battalion commander that it's time to get started! ”
Compared to the sentinels of the little devils, I didn't notice that these drivers, who could speak a few words of Japanese, were not at all the soldiers who were mixed into their brigades. The scouts of the Special Division, who were lurking nearby, knew that the car was the fourth company responsible for infiltration.
Knowing that the fourth company had successfully infiltrated the Japanese base camp, the reconnaissance battalion commander was also very happy and said: "Okay! Ordered the fifth company to prepare to kill the checkpoint set up by the little devils outside the barracks, and pay close attention to the situation of the little devils' barracks. ”
After giving these orders, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion said: "Send a telegram to the 2nd Infantry Division, informing us that our unit has successfully infiltrated the rear barracks of the Japanese army, and hope that they will begin to prepare for a counterattack." Once we attack, the front-line devils will definitely retreat. ”
'Yes, Battalion Commander! ’
Accompanied by the telegram of the reconnaissance battalion, it was quickly sent to the headquarters of the 2nd Infantry Division, and the commander of the 2nd Division was also surprised: "Those boys in the reconnaissance battalion are really bold!" A battalion, do you want to end the rear barracks of the little devils? ”
Faced with the shock of the commander of the Second Division, the chief of staff of the Second Division said with a smile: "Division commander, they are the reconnaissance battalion of the special division, and their combat effectiveness can be compared with the reconnaissance battalion of our main force?"
At present, the reconnaissance battalions of our regiments are issued with a limited number of new rifles. But the special division is not only equipped with a new rifle, but also equipped with a lot of assault rifles. That combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of our regiment.
Only one infantry brigade left in the rear by the little devils was mixed into a company by them, and those little devils were afraid that they would be finished. They sent a telegram, but I am afraid that they don't want to disrupt our counterattack plan! ”
After saying these words with a smile, the commander of the second division also said enviously: "Yes! Whether it is the former reconnaissance brigade or the current special division, it is the most trusted unit of the commander. These guys are enviable! ”
After chatting for a few words, looking at the already dark sky, the commander of the second division quickly said: "Order the artillery regiment to start preparing for the shelling of the rear camp of the Japanese army." The first and second regiments are ready to fight back.
As soon as the Japanese army began to retreat, the artillery regiment immediately carried out a surprise attack, and the first and second regiments must be completely annihilated in the shortest possible time. In this way, the little devil's strength in Chengde has become extremely limited. ”
It is clear that this mixed brigade was originally stationed in the Chengde area. Although the Kwantung Army transferred a puppet Manchurian army to take over the defense of the city by the mixed brigade. However, in the eyes of the Second Infantry Division, the puppet Manchurian troops were still incomparable with the mixed brigades.
If they can completely annihilate this independent mixed brigade, I believe it will be much easier for them to attack Chengde next. Maybe they will soon be able to recover Chengde and restore the entire territory of Rehe!
Thinking of this, the commander of the second division is also looking forward to it. After this battle, the next step is to recover Rehe, and the commander He Zhengdao will also hand over the combat task of recovering Chengde to their second division.
With the order of the division headquarters, it was quickly forwarded to the 1st regiment that was still waiting in the position, as well as the 2nd regiment of the main force lurking behind the royal crossing. Both regimental commanders knew that time was running out for them to wait.
It was only when the artillery regiment sent a telegram that was ready, and the commander of the second division said: "Send a telegram to the reconnaissance battalion of the special division and tell them that we have prepared the butcher's knife and are ready to be slaughtered at any time!" ”
Receiving a telegram from the 2nd Division, the reconnaissance battalion commander also knew that the night was long and dreamy. Soon said: "Order the fifth company, act!" ”
With the order of the reconnaissance battalion commander, the fifth company, which had already touched the vicinity of the Japanese outpost, immediately launched an attack on this outpost guarded by a Japanese squadron. The dense gunfire naturally attracted the attention of the Japanese troops in the rear barracks.
'Report to Dazuo, the battalion outpost has been attacked. Our telephone lines have also been cut off, do we want to send troops to the rescue? ’
'No! At the moment, the situation is uncertain, we can no longer send our limited forces, and ensuring the safety of the camp is our top priority. Send a few cavalry and tell the sentry squadron to retreat back to the camp! ’
Although the captain of the Japanese army left behind was eager to send troops to the outpost for reinforcements. But he knew that at any time the sky had already darkened, and it was the most active time for the Eighth Route Army.
At the moment, the Eighth Route Army suddenly attacked their outpost outside the camp, who knows if the Eighth Route Army deployed a large force for sneak attack around? If they send troops to rescue, it will inevitably affect the safety of the barracks.
After this decision was made, many little devils who stayed in the barracks also entered the defensive position one after another under the urging of the whistle. Naturally, the gate of the barracks was also tightly closed, and the Japanese troops in all the camps were waiting for them.
At this moment, in the reconnaissance company that has infiltrated the barracks, in addition to some people staying in the hospital full of wounded soldiers, many people are temporarily placed in the dormitories of the barracks. The reason is also very simple, there are simply not enough beds in the rear, so the soldiers' dormitories can only be temporarily requisitioned.
As for the commander of the reconnaissance company, who pretended to be the commander of the transport convoy, he was staying in the warehouse of the barracks at the moment, ready to take the previously captured pickup list and go to the warehouse to collect the ammunition needed to form a mixed brigade on the front line!
Listening to the gunshots coming from outside the camp, most of the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion who pretended to be escorting the team looked at each other. Watching the company commander make a few gestures, these scouts quickly found the defenders of those warehouses.
At this time, the guards of the Japanese barracks were attracted by the gunfire from the outposts outside the barracks. No one knew that a company of elite Eighth Route Army had been mixed into their barracks.
Looking at the Japanese soldier Shaozuo who opened the door of the warehouse, the reconnaissance company commander also smiled and said: "Little devil, thank you!" ”
The sudden words made the Japanese soldier feel very confused. But before he could react, the reconnaissance company commander's saber had already pierced his chest. When this young man fell to the ground, he also saw the warehouse defenders whose fate was not much different from him.
When he finally understood that these people were not their people at all, this Shaozo also closed his eyes with great regret. It didn't take long for this material warehouse, which stored a large amount of weapons and ammunition, to fall into the hands of the reconnaissance company.
'Take over the warehouse and start setting up a defensive cordon. Inform the people in the hospital and the barracks, do it! The others, follow me to prepare a raid on the headquarters of the little devils in the barracks, kill their commanders, and take the battalion commanders in. ’
The combat order was quickly issued, and the reconnaissance company commander personally led a platoon of soldiers to mingle in the slightly chaotic Japanese barracks, constantly obliterating those little devils who were caught off guard. It didn't take long to touch the temporary headquarters of the little devil.
Accompanied by the gunfire from the headquarters, as well as the increasingly dense gunfire in the camp, many Japanese soldiers who were originally deployed outside the surrounding area also felt stunned. But soon someone woke up to the fact that their barracks had mixed into the Eighth Route Army! (To be continued.) )
