Chapter 140: Sneak Attack on Wuxiang

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, the temporary headquarters of the camp was quiet at this time, and the battle was won, and the two commanders were very happy, but they did not show it on their faces. At this time, both of them sat at the table, looked at the map seriously, and said a few words from time to time. Those who knew the military map knew at a glance that the eyes of both of them were staring at the mountain road from the place where the devils were stationed to Wuxiang, which was nearly fifty miles. It turned out that at this time, the two of them were discussing how to entertain this group of devils the next day.

It is not possible to plant mines on the road, because although this can kill and injure a large number of Japanese troops, it will also slow down the marching speed of the Japanese army, so the time for the Japanese army to reach the ambush circle will be extended. This means that the soldiers who are blocking the other armies will suffer more casualties, which is a practice that outweighs the losses. So as soon as Battalion Commander Wang Hu proposed it, it was vetoed by Liu Xiaogang.

"Fight with sparrows, and keep shooting cold guns on the way of the devil's march." Wang Hu proposed again, but it was still vetoed. Liu Xiaogang's explanation is very simple, "Although the sparrow war does not prolong the marching time of the devils, just nine snipers of the two armies cannot cause great damage to the army, which is obviously inconsistent with the commander's order." ”

Many commonly used methods have been said again, and there is basically no way to strike at the enemy without delaying the devil's march.

At the end of the discussion, the two mentioned the night raid they had just used. Because only by using the evening time can it be possible not to delay the marching time of the devils.

"But, Captain Liu, we just attacked the devil's camp tonight, do you think the devil will still be fooled? Will we still have a chance? Besides, the next camp of the devils is obviously Wuxiang, where there is a military camp of the army, and it is still a town, as long as the army guards the exit, we will not be able to implement the night attack plan at all. After listening to Wang Hu's words, the two fell silent again.

In the end, it was Liu Xiaogang who thought of a way. "Battalion Commander Wang, how many defenders are there in your cavalry battalion to reconnoiter Wuxiang?" Liu Xiaogang asked.

"What's wrong, what's the problem? Wuxiang has the strength of a squad of devil defenders. Wang Hu told Liu Xiaogang, who was suspicious, what he knew.

"A squad of devils" After listening to Wang Hu's words, Liu Xiaogang muttered to himself. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and an idea came to his mind, "Battalion Commander Wang, is it possible for your cavalry battalion to quietly occupy Wuxiang before noon tomorrow." Liu Xiaogang asked excitedly.

"Quietly occupy Wuxiang, I want to think about it." Battalion Commander Wang began to think seriously. "Yes, Captain Liu, we can infiltrate Wuxiang as the cavalry squadron of the 117th Wing of the Devils, and then take the Devils by surprise." Battalion Commander Wang said confidently, but he still didn't understand Captain Liu's idea.

"Okay, Camp Commander Wang, this time we will have another night attack on the devil station in Wuxiang." After stopping Wang Hu's assurance, Liu Xiaogang said excitedly, looking at Wang Hu's puzzled eyes, Liu Xiaogang told Wang Hu his thoughts one by one, and after listening, Wang Hu also showed joy.

"Captain Liu, you hurry up and prepare, I will prepare now, don't worry, I will quietly hand over Wuxiang to you before noon tomorrow." After saying that, he turned around and left the headquarters and walked towards the station of his cavalry battalion.

After collecting the whole battalion, Wang Hu easily collected the equipment of a squadron of devils, but many of the equipment in it were infantry, not cavalry. However, in the face of more than 100 cavalry, Wang Hu believed that the garrison team of Devil Wuxiang would not be so serious, and besides, his cavalry battalion also had a squadron leader of the cavalry squadron who was very skilled in fighting overtime. (Before the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Hua excluded some cadres from going to Yan'an to learn Mandarin with a Mandarin teacher, and when the troops went to the battlefield, these cadres could already be proficient in listening and speaking Mandarin, so now each main regiment or battalion directly under the Reading Brigade is equipped with a Mandarin interpreter.)

Soon, a squadron of half-truths and half-truths of cavalry appeared in the barracks of the [***] team, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see that this unit is composed entirely of Chinese soldiers.

Because of this skin on his body, hiding it would arouse the suspicion of the spy Han Jian, so the entire cavalry squadron swaggered onto the road under the leadership of Wang Hu and the translator. Heading towards Wuxiang, he was even supplied by a landlord, Han Jian, in one village. Of course, in the face of Huang Chengcheng's gold bars and the ocean of white flowers, Wang Hu of course unceremoniously received it in his pocket. You must know that at that time, the gold seized before the Anti-Japanese War was handed over to the central government, and now the funds in the base area are completely dependent on the property of the landlord Han Zhan who was seized at the beginning of the establishment of the base area.

After receiving the landlord's money, Wang Hu walked out of the village with the pretended cavalry squadron under the landlord's farewell, and continued to move forward, of course, several spies in this village also told the Taijun of the Wuxiang garrison squad the news that the cavalry squadron was going to arrive in Wuxiang in the shortest possible time.

After getting the news from the spies, the team leader immediately became excited, the 117th Wing is the real main force of the empire, if he performs well and gets the appreciation of the wing captain Gui Tian Dazuo, then he will no longer have to stay in this poor township as the captain of the garrison team in the future, and he can go to the front line to make contributions to the empire

In order to reflect the severity of his army, the squad leader admonished all the soldiers to stick to their posts. And he cleaned the whole barracks again, and personally guarded the entrance of the town, ready to meet the incoming cavalry squadron. You must know that in the army, the ranks of technical arms are generally one level higher than those of infantry.

Less than ten minutes before the squad leader had prepared everything and stood in the fortifications at the entrance of the town, a pair of slow-moving cavalry appeared in his field of vision. "Baga, cheer up, the cavalry squadron of the empire is coming, if the commander sees you like this, see how I clean you up." The squad leader shouted a reprimand to a soldier yawning next to him. He didn't want a soldier's fault to jeopardize his future.

It didn't take long for the cavalry squadron to be very close to him, only to see a captain squadron leader at the head, followed by a lieutenant squad leader, and the two slowly approached him after saying this.

"Report to Your Excellency Captain, the captain of the Wuxiang garrison team has come to report, Your Excellency Captain has worked hard, please come to the headquarters to rest, I have prepared a sumptuous lunch to entertain all the warriors of the empire." The squad leader ran in front of the squadron leader played by the translator and said flatteringly.

"Yo Xi, you're very good, worthy of being a warrior, but at night the wing captain will take the main force of the wing to camp here, my cavalry squadron was ordered to come to check the security, please gather your squad leader, for the safety of the wing and the safety of the wing leader, I want to give a lecture to strengthen the security of Wuxiang." The squadron leader said confidently, exactly like a military officer admonishing his subordinates.

"Hey, my subordinates will definitely live up to the trust of His Excellency the Captain and His Excellency the Wing Commander, I will go and gather the soldiers of the squad now, please wait for a while, Your Excellency the Captain." As he spoke, he saluted and ran to the barracks.

With the thought of a whistle, the devils all over the corner showed their figures and assembled to the barracks, even the defenders at the entrance of the town only left two soldiers, and the rest of the people hurriedly assembled to the barracks.

Wang Hu led everyone slowly towards the devil's barracks, and of course, the town entrance was translated to strengthen security, leaving four cavalry warriors. Looking at the devil barracks getting closer and closer, the entire cavalry squadron slowly strengthened its vigilance. Looking at the squad leader who ran over to greet him, Wang Hu whispered to the surrounding soldiers: "Spread out, find the favorable terrain early and prepare for battle, and listen to my orders." As soon as he finished speaking, the team leader came to the interpreter out of breath.

"Report to Your Excellency Captain, the entire garrison team, except for the two soldiers at the entrance of the town, all the remaining soldiers have been assembled, a total of 64 soldiers, please give a lecture to Your Excellency the Captain." After speaking, he bowed deeply to the translated war horse.

"Yo Xi, your way, I want to see these imperial warriors." The translator looked at the team leader's flattering eyes and said with a smile.

Seeing the captain smile at himself, the squad leader couldn't help but be overjoyed, he had hope. "Hi" said, and the first one walked towards the barracks.

The cavalry behind him followed the devil squad leader into the barracks, but what the squad leader didn't know was that in addition to the dozens of cavalry who followed up the barracks, the remaining soldiers slowly outflanked both sides of the barracks, and when the squad leader walked to the front of the phalanx of the army squad with the translator and Wang Hu and others, the entire squad was surrounded by more than 100 cavalry regiments, and there was no gap at all.

The squad leader's face showed a puzzled look and looked at the cavalry squadron leader who was riding a war horse next to him. At this time, the translator's smile became even thicker, looking at the smiling faces of the interpreter and the cavalry behind him, a hint of crisis appeared in the squad leader's mind, and the squad leader's hands were slowly approaching the pistol at his waist. However, all the actions of the team leader did not hide from Wang Hu in front of him, seeing that the ghost team leader seemed to have discovered something, Wang Hu was no longer in the mood to observe the team in front of him, and shouted loudly, "Do it." ”

Hearing the order, the fighters raised their already loaded rifles, light machine guns, in their hands. "Da Da Da" all the guns fired almost together. In an instant, the entire garrison team of the Japanese army was shrouded in a rain of bullets. In order to make his squad more neat, the squad leader strictly ordered all soldiers to carry rifles on their shoulders and put on bayonets. At the same time, all the light machine guns were neatly placed at the front of the line. In this way, the pre-war reaction speed of the Yue army was slowed down by several seconds, and in just these few seconds, the Yue Jun, who had been screaming, felt killed. The army, which had never been defenseless, had no choice but to die under powerful firepower.

As the gunshots kept coming to mind, the army was swept away piece by piece. Those veterans who reacted quickly, although they lay on the ground in the shortest possible time, raised the rifles on their shoulders and prepared to return fire, but the bullets had not yet been loaded, and the soldiers were all riding on the war horses, condescending, those soldiers lying on the ground did not take advantage, tilted their heads and fell in a pool of blood.

The whole gunfire lasted less than twenty seconds, and all the devils almost didn't shoot, and they fell in a pool of blood, of course, the two nobles at the entrance of the town were about to look behind them when they heard the gunshots in the town, and it was Sima Saber who warned them, with doubts and disbelief, and fell under the sabers of the soldiers.
