Chapter Forty-Six: Touching the Camp
"Your Excellency Zhongzuo, judging from the situation of the exchange of fire with the thunder in the past few days, they are very good at using small forces to carry out sneak attacks and ambushes, I think we have to arrange anti-sneak attacks tonight" The subordinates of the ghost and the countryside are not all guys with a tendon, at least his personal adjutant is a sober person, and he followed the ghost and the village to turn around the outer positions, and he found that the situation was not very good, and the control of dry food and drinking water made the people of the Imperial Alliance army panic, Even their own Imperial soldiers slept while standing guard.
"Yo Si! You are very thoughtful, the position of the brigade headquarters should be moved back, and now you will start moving" The ghost ghost patted his adjutant on the shoulder with satisfaction, although the adjutant did not have a complete anti-sneak attack plan, but it was very good that he dared to speak out when he was angry. "Our defeat is only temporary, as long as we are nailed here, the Thunder troops in Ding'an City will not dare to act rashly, the military department has already drawn troops from other places and are rushing here, and the honor of annihilating this Thunder Army belongs to our Ghost Brigade after all."
Although it was the casualties and the battle situation during the day that made the ghost very dissatisfied, he had completely forgotten the fact that his troops had suffered thirty percent of the casualties. What a glory it was to defeat the famous Thunder Force in Shanxi, and the Ghost Soul couldn't wait to imagine what reward the military department would give to him after defeating the Thunder. After reading Sun Tzu's Art of War for a few days, he listened to the adjutant's opinion, and in line with the principle of fiction and reality, he ordered his soldiers to light bonfires in the outer positions.
The bonfires that had been set up on the outer positions were lit one by one, looking at those bonfires, the mood of the ghost and the countryside was much better for no reason, but he didn't know that the people who carried torches around to light bonfires were not his subordinates, but Tang Lei and their fakes pretending to be Japanese soldiers. Leaving the outer trenches garrisoned by the third class, Tang Lei and they happened to meet three Japanese soldiers who came to light the bonfire, after a period of greetings, the three sad Japanese soldiers were cut by the short knife The throat was cut, and when the Japanese soldiers responsible for the ignition of the peripheral positions reappeared, the number of people had changed from 3 to 14.
The fake Imperial Alliance Army left behind in the trenches of the third squad made a code to answer, and Zhao Zhi took 300 Jewish soldiers to touch it, but this trench was really not enough to accommodate all 300 people, and only machine gunners and submachine gunners entered the trenches, and the artillerymen and riflemen were left outside the trenches by Zhao Zhi. Leaving 30 mercenaries to hold the two flanks of the trench, Zhao Zhi himself took 30 mercenaries armed with submachine guns to climb over the outer positions of the Japanese army and directly rush inward.
The team of 30 people formed a standard infiltration formation, and entered the depths of the defense line of the Japanese position along the warning point of the Japanese puppet army sentry, and the further they went inside, the tighter the Japanese defense became. The Japanese military uniforms worn on them provided them with the best camouflage, so that the mercenaries with unique skills had a chance to show their skills, the two imperial army sentries on the edge of the first fire and the Japanese army secret sentry lurking in the shadows, were quietly killed with daggers by the three mercenaries who quietly touched it.
The corpses were dragged into a trench full of Jewish soldiers, and the two mercenaries, who had changed into the uniforms of the Imperial Army, stood in place with Han Yangzao on their backs and looking loyal to their duties. Zhao Zhi, who was lying in the third trench, could vaguely see that there was more than one hidden firepower point behind those guards, and if someone recklessly turned out of the third trench, he would definitely die ugly.
Zhao Zhi took people until the third trench, and then stopped, during the day, it was just an artillery battle with the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang, and the troops arranged in Ding'an City did not have a face-to-face exchange of fire with them, and now it seems that he is the commander of this group of Japanese puppet army, I didn't expect this guy to be so forbearing, he can actually hide all their light and heavy machine guns during the day. The bonfire was lit in order to prevent the opponent's sneak attack at night, but the bonfire also provided convenience for Zhao Zhi to observe the Japanese army's firepower.
The Japanese puppet army in the inner circle of the position not only dug trenches, but also dug a lot of individual bunkers and machine gun positions in the open space, Zhao Zhi made a rough observation, and the Japanese puppet army arranged at least more than 30 light and heavy machine guns in the inner circle of the position. Fighting hard against such a firepower arrangement would only cause heavy casualties to the Jewish soldiers under Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhi was not a person who could only talk on paper, so he naturally rejected the plan of forcible attack, and he decided to adopt some new tricks.
With the strong penetration of the two mercenary squads, the 300 Jewish soldiers selected by Zhao Zhi began to cruise around the trenches that had been cleared by the mercenaries, and for a full 2 hours, Zhao Zhi and Tang Lei each led a mercenary team to completely clean the three trenches on the periphery of the Japanese position. The non-standard cold weapons were used by the mercenaries to the extreme, especially the 15 scout-born guys under Tang Lei, crossbow arrows, darts, blow needles, and short knives were all used, and the position they infiltrated was the downwind outlet, if they sneaked in from the upwind outlet, these scouts were afraid that even the smoke left by Yu Dazhi would have to be taken out for the Japanese puppet army to try.
The plan of action formulated earlier changed, and after seeing the inner defense line of the Japanese position that was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, Zhao Zhi temporarily revised the action plan. After contacting the troops in the city with the walkie-talkie, Zhao Zhi didn't say anything, just tapped a piece of Moss code on the earpiece with his fingers, Xiao Ziyun on the other end of the walkie-talkie shook for a moment, and then began to execute according to the order issued by Zhao Zhi with Moss code. After occupying Ding'an City, Zhao Zhi's troops sealed all the oil left by the Japanese army, which was originally intended to be used when fighting the Japanese army head-on, but now the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang is shrinking, and Zhao Zhi doesn't mind using those oils in advance.
The Jewish soldiers who came out of Ding'an did not carry weapons, but they used ropes and wooden poles to carry a lot of containers, wine jars, wine bottles, small military oil pots, and even some people carried the night pots of the common people's homes. The oil sealed in Zhao Zhi's hand had already been packed into these containers, and a small amount of explosives came along with the oil, and the three peripheral trenches on the Japanese puppet army's position were all under the control of Thunder, and it was easy for Zhao Zhi and them to move these containers full of oil into the trenches.
The Japanese puppet soldiers guarding the outer trenches were stripped of pigs, their weapons dismantled into pieces and bullets, and wrapped in their uniforms on the outside of the oil containers. Bayonets and sapper shovels flew non-stop, hundreds of Jewish soldiers began their digging operations in the three trenches, hundreds of anti-artillery holes in the trenches were dug into the pits, and the oil containers wrapped in bullets and iron parts were buried, which Zhao Zhi made when he was bored, and the oil containers with explosives and ignition devices were a small trigger incendiary bomb.
When no one enters the anti-artillery hole, the self-made incendiary bombs buried in the anti-artillery hole will not be triggered, only during the shelling, the people hiding in the anti-artillery hole will inadvertently trigger the ignition device because of panic, once the incendiary bomb is activated, the small space of the anti-artillery hole will become the grave and crematorium of the Japanese puppet army. The collective work of 300 people, the excavation and burial of more than 100 earth pits was completed in less than half an hour, and with Zhao Zhi's order, the 300 Jewish soldiers who were forced to do the engineering work again turned out of the trenches and retreated in the direction of Ding'an City.
"After a while the flare went up to the sky, the snipers saw their officers and fired, the grenadiers wanted to shoot out all the grenades and Japanese grenades on your body, and knock out their hidden fire points as much as possible, the mortar team stared at the artillery they might shoot, as long as their artillery fired, you must suppress them to the death, three minutes, we only fought for three minutes and retreated, no one can violate the order and fight with the Japanese army without retreating, otherwise the military law will be engaged in" The more than 80 mercenaries who stayed with Zhao Zhi were divided into three groups, Grenadier canisters and mortars cruised on both wings, and Zhao Zhi himself led snipers and submachine gunners in the middle.
The two flares of "Tong" and "Tong" were fired by mortar shells for a long time, and the entire position of the Japanese puppet army was illuminated in a miserable white, and the grenadier squad arranged on the left flank of "firing" took the lead in firing, and the four 50-mm grenadiers kept firing out the grenades, while the snipers on the front and the two mortars that had moved to the right flank did not move. The flares that suddenly appeared in mid-air made the Japanese puppet soldiers in the position dumbfounded, and they were a little overwhelmed by the misery in front of them, and the grenades fired by the "boom" "boom" and "boom" grenadier squad exploded, and the Japanese puppet soldiers in the position instantly scattered into their respective trenches or foxholes, and the wounded who were hit by shrapnel were screaming and chirping, but no one dared to come forward to help them.
The mercenaries of the "boom" and "boom" grenadier squad adhered to the usual practice, firing a single shot and changing places, and the concealed fire points arranged by the Japanese army on the inside of the position opened fire, but the mercenaries carrying the grenadiers were even more cunning than the loaches, and the Japanese army's water-like bullet rain did not even scratch their oily skin a little. "Boom" "Boom" "Da Da" The Japanese position was very lively, with the grenadier constantly moving, most of the hidden fire points on the inner circle position were exposed, and Zhao Zhi, the "sniper hitting their machine gunner", could not find the Japanese officers to appear left and right, so he had to retreat and order the sniper to shoot the Japanese machine gunner.
