Chapter 25: Grenadier Attack
When the attack stopped, the Japanese flares naturally stopped firing, after all, the number of flares they carried was also limited, and it was impossible to maintain them until dawn.
Therefore, the extreme surroundings of Zheng Village were once again shrouded in dark night, and the whole village was quiet, only the Japanese puppet army surrounded by the intersection on three sides outside the village made some noises from time to time.
It was the sound of the Japanese puppet army building blockade fortifications and patrolling back and forth.
No one noticed that in the night when they couldn't see their fingers, Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong respectively carried a grenadier and a cloth bag full of grenades from the west end of the village, and quietly touched the gathering place of the Japanese convoy outside the north of the village, which is also the location of Captain Sasaki's temporary command post.
The blockade and encirclement of the Japanese puppet army is not a circle of people surrounding the entire village one by one, in that case, all the devils and the puppet army will not have to sleep and rest, they are also human beings and also need to rest, otherwise what will they attack tomorrow?
Instead, blockade fortifications were built in each of the three directions of the west, north and east of the village, and light machine-gun fire points were deployed.
Such an encirclement mode is undoubtedly the most convenient and desirable under the limited force, because the Japanese puppet army can take turns patrolling and stationing, so as to gain time to rest.
But there is also a loophole, that is, the distance of hundreds of meters between each fire blockade point, this distance takes at least five minutes for the devils to come and go.
And in this dark night, Sensei said that a few hundred meters in five minutes is fifty meters a minute, which is enough for Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong, the two super soldier kings, to dive easily.
The ecological environment around Zheng Village is still in a relatively primitive state, except for the road leading to the outside world in the north of the village, there are only sheep intestine paths leading to the fields in other directions of the village, and the surrounding area is covered with various wild vegetation.
Now it was the height of summer, and the weeds were at their most vigorous, Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong hid in a bush in the northwest of the village with grenadiers, and a team of puppet army patrols walked past them, but they were not found at all.
After the puppet army patrol passed, the two immediately got up, bent their waists like cheetahs in the night, and rushed directly into the sorghum field not far ahead.
As soon as they entered this vast green gauze tent like the sea, they were like dragons entering the sea, like fish in water.
The two of them immediately cautiously touched the direction of the Japanese headquarters, which was located in a bulldozed sorghum field, and a marching tent was set up in the middle.
At this time, after marching and fighting in the middle of the night, most of the devils had already fallen asleep, and the guns were stacked together in groups.
It's not that the Japanese army is too careless, but they didn't expect that the people of China, who had been surrounded by regiments, would dare to take the initiative to attack, not to mention that there was a garrison team within a hundred meters of the headquarters that patrolled and sentry non-stop.
In the headquarters, Captain Sasaki, who was not in a good mood, did not sleep, and there was a wartime dinner on the table made of ammunition boxes in front of him, but he did not move at all, and he had no appetite.
With a crowd of four or five hundred, they besieged an inconspicuous small village without heavy weapons for most of the night, and not only failed to capture it, but lost nearly a quarter of their subordinates, and no one felt uncomfortable.
Compared with the invincibility of the main force of the Japanese invasion of China in various parts of the front line, it is even more shameful to commit suicide by seppuku.
Captain Sasaki is now thinking about how to capture Zheng Village and slaughter the resistance in the village to vent his hatred and cover up this big stain on his military career, but he didn't expect that death was quietly approaching him at this moment.
In the sorghum field, Qiao Youhua and the others had already followed the firelight to a place about 150 meters to about 200 meters outside the Japanese headquarters, and they did not go any further, because many years of experience told them that there were very likely devil sentinels in front, and once they were alarmed, this surprise attack would lose its meaning.
Fortunately, the range of the Japanese grenadiers captured in their hands was 250 meters, and the Japanese command was completely within their effective strike range at this distance.
Qiao Youhua took out a telescope with night vision function and observed it for a while, and he had a full view of the situation in and around the Japanese military headquarters.
Qiao Youhua pondered for a while, and then said to Jiang Haidong: "Haidong, the caliber of this Japanese-style grenadier is only 50mm, and the power is not as good as that of a 60mm mortar, in order to ensure that one hit will kill, the two of us will shoot the first grenade at the marching tent at the same time, and the one who can live in the tent is definitely the commander of these little devils."
As long as we take out the Japanese headquarters, we will win this battle, and then we only need to take advantage of the situation to follow and chase and kill, and we can win a big victory. ”
Jiang Haidong also raised the night vision binoculars, saw the situation of the Japanese command clearly, and nodded: "No problem." ”
"The Japanese sentries are not far from us, and for the sake of safety, we will retreat immediately after hitting the tent of the Japanese headquarters, and there is no need to fight." Qiao Youhua calmly analyzed.
It is conceivable that as soon as the cannon sounds here, all the Japanese puppet troops will be alarmed and rush towards this side, and they are absolutely not suitable for staying here for a long time with only pistols.
"Understood!" Jiang Haidong followed Qiao Youhua to put away the telescope and began to adjust the firing angle of the grenadier canister.
Soon, Qiao Youhua took the lead and said: "It's done, I've locked the target." ”
A little later, dozens of seconds later, Qiao Youhua said, "Head, I've got it done, you can start." With that, the other hand had already picked up a grenade and was ready to fire.
Qiao Youhua unhurriedly took out a grenade from the cloth bag on his body, looked at the tent of the Japanese headquarters that was still brightly lit with a cold face, and said, "Ready... Put! ”
The two loaded the grenade into the grenadier barrel at almost the same time, and then pulled the firing rope at the same time, and the grenadier in their hands made a tom-tom sound, and the two grenades flew down towards the Japanese tent with a roar.
Dozens of meters away, a devil sentry looked at the fire ball flying overhead in horror and was stunned for a while, until he saw the two grenades smashing towards Captain Sasaki's marching tent, and then suddenly came back to his senses: "Yaga! It's not good, it's an enemy attack......"
However, his screams were quickly drowned out by two violent explosions, and the marching tent turned into a sea of fire in the explosion of the grenade, and the entire Japanese command became boiling in the next moment.
Frightened shouts and angry roars came from the mouths of the panicked Japanese officers and soldiers, however, Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong, the initiators of the incident, saw that they were hit by a blow, and turned around and quickly evacuated as soon as possible.
