Chapter 6 Take the county seat

The man who shot the Japanese soldier Cao was right. They had indeed taken the county seat, and Yan Wudao, who had robbed a lot in the Feng family's compound, was standing on the gate tower of the county seat at this time, watching his men count the seized weapons and ammunition. Before Yan Wudao led people to Zhaoyuan Town, another team under his command had already infiltrated the county seat, although the weapons were not brought in, but this did not prevent them from looking for the liaison of the military commander here. When the Nationalist Army and the Jin Sui Army were losing ground in Shanxi, a large number of military intelligence personnel remained in the enemy-occupied areas, and they were responsible for collecting intelligence and hoarding weapons and ammunition.

With the information provided by the military commander when leaving Chongqing, the team that infiltrated the county town was very smoothly connected with the intelligence officers here, although the intelligence officers did not hoard many firearms, but in the eyes of the soldiers who had experienced the special training of the training camp, this bolt-action rifle was not as fast as a kitchen knife. After Tada left the county seat, the members of the squad scattered around the county town took the money to buy some things and made a few incendiary bombs at the intelligence officer's residence.

Just like Tada thought, Yan Wudao's attack on the Feng family in Zhaoyuan Town was indeed a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain, but Yan Wudao's move from the mountain was to prepare for reinforcements from the encirclement point behind. It is not enough to take the county seat only by relying on a squad with a lack of guns and ammunition, after all, there is a squad of Japanese troops and dozens of imperial troops in the county seat, and the reason why Yan Wudao put the ambush site of Tada is only a few hundred meters away from the county seat, is that he wants the Japanese puppet army guarding the county seat to come to the rescue, as long as the Japanese puppet army in the county town is divided into troops to help, the squad lurking in the county town will have a chance to take the county seat.

There are only a few people who have been shooting at the Japanese puppet army outside the city, although their marksmanship is good, but it is easy to be regarded as a guerrilla Tubalu by the Japanese puppet army guarding the county, at least when watching Tada being ambushed, the Japanese puppet army who went out of the city to rescue will not take these Tubalu seriously. Everything was just like Yan Wudao's plan in advance, the Japanese puppet army guarding the county was really fooled, watching the companions outside the city being beaten and couldn't raise their heads, the Japanese soldiers in the city couldn't sit still, and directly set up light machine guns on the truck to defend the city and rushed out.

Before dawn the day before, the sappers led by Yan Wudao planted mines on the road, but they had not hung the strings, and when the news came that Duotian was in a hurry to return to the county seat, the sappers who had already been ambushed on both sides of the road hung the mines and waited for the guys from the city to step on the mines. According to Yan Wudao's idea, even if the Japanese puppet army in the city does not come out, after annihilating Tada, the two snipers will be transferred to shoot at the guys on the city tower, but the Japanese puppet army with less than 100 people, one will die and one will be less, and then force the surrendered imperial army to feint in the city, maybe the snipers alone will be able to wipe out the Japanese puppet army defending the city.

The Japanese army out of the city was sent to the sky by mines, and the Imperial Allied Army defending the city could not hold on, just when they were panicking and thinking about the way back, the squad lurking in the city began to move, just a row of guns and a few incendiary bombs to solve the remaining Japanese troops, and the Imperial Allied Army, which had long been out of ideas, immediately surrendered their guns, which made the squad that originally wanted to kill depressed. In order to solve the Japanese puppet army on the city tower, they have discussed a lot of killing moves, and they still have a lot of tricks in their hands that have not yet been used.

Yan Wudao habitually looked at the watch on his wrist, according to the original plan, when he learned that Tada led troops back to the county seat, Yan Wudao ordered his telegraph operators to send a telegram to the nearest national army unit here, asking them to send troops to take over the county seat. There is an infantry battalion of the national army in the mountains 80 miles away from the county seat, and the commander's brother is Dai Li's subordinate, and letting the troops of the national army take over the county seat is part of Zhao Zhi's plan to promise to exchange weapons.

It was just noon, and according to the speed of the march of the national army, the arrival of the receiving troops of the national army was also before dinner, and this time was enough for Yan Wudao to wantonly loot the money of the Japanese army station and the traitor's house in the county town. Yan Wudao, who led the team alone, was not only responsible for the task of collecting money, but when he was leaving, Zhao Zhi also gave him a new task, to catch as many guys who could speak Japanese as possible in the enemy-occupied area and hand them over to the guerrillas or the team of the Eighth Route Army, if there were Japanese soldiers who were willing to surrender on their own initiative, it would be better.

For this new task that Zhao Zhi explained, Yan Wudao didn't ask why at all, and the few people who followed Zhao Zhi at the earliest would not ask Zhao Zhi why he did it at all, they only knew that their husband would never do it with good intentions or for fun. It has been half a month since he was separated from Zhao Zhi, and Yan Wudao already has more than a dozen Japanese-speaking Chinese and three Japanese soldiers who voluntarily surrendered, and according to the agreement with the Eighth Route Army, before he reaches the next attack point, the Eighth Route Army will come to pick up these people and the money and materials that Yan Wudao has looted along the way.

Unlike Yu Dazhi, Yan Wudao never worried that the Eighth Route Army would swallow up their money, because the truly valuable gold bars and gold and silver jewelry had already been handed over to the two snipers to hide. Yan Wudao's subordinates are all elites drawn from the national army, and the only thing he can really believe in is the two snipers who were temporarily seconded from the mercenary unit, so the place where the gold bars are buried will only be known by the people in the mercenary army.

According to the information obtained from the Eighth Route Army and the military commanders, Zhao Zhi formulated a very chaotic battle plan, in this battle plan, he would take his 600 mercenaries to Zhangwu County, and Yan Wudao and several other mercenaries would take the 1,500 elites of the national army to other places in Shanxi. The elite of the national army, which has been divided into multiple squads, will attack a number of predetermined targets under the leadership of the mercenary commander, and Yan Wudao's actions are a signal, starting today for a week, 1,500 elite national troops will launch a series of attacks on the Japanese puppet army in Shanxi.

In Zhao Zhi's plan, the areas involved in the attack are all sensitive areas bordering the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army of the Jinsui Army of the National Army, waiting for the Japanese puppet army to send reinforcements to search for them, the elite of the national army who have already jumped out of the encirclement will be broken into pieces and rush to a broader enemy-occupied area, they will follow Zhao Zhi's spark plan, relying on favorable terrain development forces to attract more Japanese puppet troops to pay attention to them, and win a respite for the national army troops on the front line.
