Chapter 33: The Sneak Attack on the Arsenal in the Battle of Xinghe County

Outside the city of Tianzhen. Shijiao Mountain.

This Shijiao Mountain is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a few dirt mountain bags. The terrain here is not high, and it is not a strategic location, so neither the 61st Army nor the Japanese Chahar Corps sent troops to seize this place.

But now there is a unit here, and this force is none other than Chen Feng's special combat team. The number of Chen Feng's special combat team is not large, and Chen Feng has selected a total of more than 400 qualified men to join the special combat team. However, with the continuous expansion of the army, the disadvantages of the lack of officers in the security regiment became apparent. Chen Feng was forced to continuously transfer the soldiers in the special combat team to the field units to serve as grassroots officers, so that the establishment of the special combat team became smaller and smaller, and now there is only one brigade and two squadrons left, with a total strength of only more than 220 people.

However, the remaining 200 people are the essence of the security regiment, and they are the strongest individual soldiers of the security regiment. This time, Chen Feng deployed defenses along the mountain road from Tianzhen to Xinghe, and adopted the tactics of blocking and consuming the enemy's vital strength, and both sides fought positional warfare and a war of attrition, so it was not of much use for the special combat team to stay.

Although it is said that part of the troops besieging the city have been diverted away, the situation is still very grim. The strength of the Chahar Dispatch Corps with three infantry brigades plus 9 puppet cavalry divisions is still several times that of the defenders, and the pressure on the 61st Army is still very great, so Chen Feng decided to leave the special combat team to find some trouble for the Japanese army, and support the Jin Sui Army in Tianzhen County.

After receiving Chen Feng's order, Xu Bao immediately led the special combat team to move to Shijiao Mountain. Although this is not a dangerous place, the forest is very confused, and it is a good place for Tibetans, as long as it is not for the large Japanese army to search the mountain, they cannot be discovered by reconnaissance planes alone.

"Captain, I'm back." The one who spoke was Wang Haitao, the leader of the first squadron of the special combat team, codenamed Haidiao, who had just led the team out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and then came back to resume his life.

"How's it going?" Xu Bao's cold face didn't show any expression.

"The headquarters of the Japanese army is set up in Xiaolizhuang, fifteen kilometers outside Tianzhen City, and the defense is very tight, the village is guarded by Japanese puppet troops all around, and there are patrols patrolling non-stop, we have no chance at all." Wang Haitao said.

"Well, it seems that we have to put this temporary operation on hold for the time being, it is worthy of being the most elite Kwantung Army of the Japanese army, and its quality is indeed first-class." Xu Bao said.

"But we found the arsenal of the Japanese army, and the dog day turned out to be stacked in the open air, more than 100 large trucks, and hundreds of horse-drawn carriages, if it was planned, there should still be a chance." Wang Haitao said.

"Oh! The devil's arsenal? Where and how many people are guarding? Xu Bao's eyes lit up and asked.

"It is about five kilometers away from Xiaolizhuang, and in the middle of Tianzhen and Xiaolizhuang, the little devil may have done so that the arsenal was not placed in the safe rear in order to facilitate the replenishment of ammunition for the troops on the front line. There are quite a few defenders, I observed, at least one infantry wing, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the arsenal, the little devils arranged three lines of defense around the arsenal, each line of defense was defended by an infantry squadron, and at the same time there were a large number of patrols patrolling, and there were actually a large number of cavalry. Wang Haitao said in detail.

"A strong attack will definitely not work, on the one hand, the enemy is outnumbered, and on the other hand, it is too close to the Japanese headquarters, once the gunshots sound, Xiao Li Zhuang's devils can arrive in a few minutes, so this battle can only outwit the enemy." Xu Bao said with a frown.

"Captain, how about we sneak in in disguise, once we get close to the Japanese arsenal, a grenade can reimburse all the arms of the dog day." Wang Haitao said.

"That's a good idea, but the Japanese army is used to setting passwords, and we can't sneak in too far without a password to be discovered, so this method won't work."

"What then?"

"Haitao, how are the devil's three lines of defense set up, and how far is each line of defense from the point where the arms are piled up?" Xu Bao thought for a while and asked.

"The three lines of defense of the devils are set up in the center of the circle of the arms accumulation point, the outermost defense line is about five kilometers away from the arms accumulation point, and the number of defenders is one squadron in the southeast, one in the northwest, plus a cavalry division of the puppet army. The second line of defense is less than two kilometers away from the point of accumulation of munitions, where the devils have set up three roadblocks to check the passing vehicles and soldiers, and the number of defenders is also quite large, and the third line of defense is located near the point of accumulation of munitions, where the barracks of the devils are also located, and the line of defense encloses both the barracks and the point of munitions. As he spoke, Wang Haitao drew a suggested map on the ground with a tree branch.

Xu Bao thought for a while and said, "With a distance of two kilometers, there is a chance." You see, the second line of defense of the little devils is less than two kilometers away from the point where the munitions are piled up, and with the range of the mortars in our hands, we can hit anywhere. As long as we get through the first line of defense of the little devils, it is entirely possible to take out their arsenal with one shot. ”

"But the little devil is very strict about the first line of defense, not only to inspect passing vehicles, but also to interrogate soldiers, how we can get in without a password." Huang Tieshan, squadron leader of the second squadron of the special operations brigade, said.

"It's half past eight, and the little devil's password must have been changed, we just need to get the first or second sentence of the password, and this shouldn't be a problem. But I'm worried that the back road will be blocked after the incident, so let's do it, I will personally lead the team in tonight's operation, you and the gray wolf will meet us on the periphery, and once we hear the sound of cannons, we will immediately carry out a surprise attack on the devil's first line of defense, and we will immediately withdraw to Xinghe after the incident. Xu Bao said.

"Okay, captain, you speak Japanese well, it's the most suitable for you to lead the team, this job is a technical job, me and the coyote will just do some hard work this time." Wang Haitao said with a smile.

"I'll take a combat team, the three of them will be changed into the dogskins of little devils, and the weapons and equipment can't be used by the special combat team, each person will have a 38 big cover, and then hide two clean face boxes in their waists, bring a 60 mortar, and set off in half an hour, you two must also be ready." Xu Bao said.

"Yes"

On the dirt road leading to the Japanese arsenal, a patrol of thirteen men strode forward.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a car engine in front of me, followed by a dazzling white light, and a military truck slowly drove towards it.

"Standing still, what kind of people are working?" One of the military caopers, who took the lead, asked stiffly.

Seeing that someone was blocking the way in front of him, the car slowly stopped, and then a senior soldier hurriedly poked his head out of the car and said: "Don't get me wrong, we are independently mixed into the second brigade, and we are here to replenish ammunition, please take care of us!" ”

"Get out of the car!" Jun Cao obviously didn't buy the account of this high-ranking soldier, and still said coldly.

There was no way, and the senior soldier and the two privates in the car had to reluctantly get out of the car. The superior soldier stepped forward to explain, so that he could go back quickly.

"Password!" Jun Cao asked loudly.

"Under Mt. Fuji! Rebate! The senior soldier subconsciously reacted.

"Back to your mother!" This time, Jun Cao spoke authentic Chinese, and in the horrified eyes of the senior soldiers, the command knife in Jun Cao's hand had already pierced into their chests. At the same time, several soldiers behind Jun Cao also rushed towards the other two inferior soldiers with lightning speed.

Seeing the three corpses lying on the ground, Xu Bao said coldly: "Throw the corpses into the nearby ravine, and the weapons and equipment on the car should also be moved down and hidden, as fast as possible." Little Wuzi, you immediately go back the same way, tell the two squadron leaders, just say that the situation has changed, let them stay where they are, don't come to meet us, after conveying the order, you also stay in the big army, don't come back. ”

With this car, Xu Bao is confident that he can break out of the city without being answered.

Ten minutes later, a car carrying more than a dozen soldiers slowly drove towards the Japanese arsenal.

Less than five kilometres from the arsenal, the car was stopped by a patrol.

"Stop, get checked!" A gruff voice shouted.

"We are independently mixed into the first brigade, we are here to replenish ammunition, and there is another mortar that is broken and needs to be repaired, you should let it go quickly!" Xu Bao said with a Kyoto accent.

Xu Bao and the others learned Japanese from Chen Feng, and Chen Feng's Japanese is a reward given by the system, and it is a standard Kyoto accent, so all of these apprentices taught by Chen Feng also have Kyoto accents.

"Password!" Jun Cao, who led the team, obviously believed Xu Bao's words, but still routinely checked the password.

"Under Mt. Fuji! Rebate! Xu Bao said.

"The cherry blossoms are in full bloom!"

"There is no problem with the password, good luck to you, let go!" Jun Cao Dao, who led the team.

Along the way, Xu Bao and the others encountered three more inspections, but the special combat teams that had already obtained the complete password all passed the inspection without any danger and without any danger, and the target was directly aimed at the Japanese arsenal.

Xu Bao and the others got out of the car on the side of a small hill less than a kilometer away from the second line of defense of the Japanese army, and Xu Bao saw through the binoculars that less than a kilometer away from the small hill where they were located, there was a small roadblock, in which a small group of defenders was stationed.

Not far from the Japanese army roadcard is a brightly lit barracks, the barracks are in and out of the soldiers, to Xu Bao's excitement, there are a large number of wooden boxes piled up less than 300 meters next to the barracks, the experienced Xu Bao knew at a glance that those boxes must be filled with munitions.

In addition, next to the arms boxes are hundreds of huge oil drums, piled up like a mountain, which is very conspicuous.

"Han Laojiu, is this range enough from the mortar?" Xu Bao asked Han Laojiu, who was the best in the special combat team.

"It's less than three kilometers, although it's a bit far, but we are condescending, it should be no problem, where to fight, you just have to give the order." Han Laojiu said with a thumb comparison.

"We don't have many shells, a total of five methods, now listen to my orders, the first method will hit those oil barrels, and after hitting, we will hit those wooden boxes, and all these five shells will be shot out in one minute, and our task will be completed after the shots, do you understand?"

"Got it, Captain!"

"Let's get started!"

"Yes"
