Chapter 594: Sneak Attack on the City (Part I)
After selecting twenty elite fighters, Qiao Youhua asked Liu Jianhua to take other fighters to make ropes and other climbing tools.
After preparing this qiē, it was already getting dark, let the soldiers have a full meal, bring their tools, Qiao Youhua took the twenty heavily armed soldiers, and left the woods under the eyes of the other officers and soldiers of the whole battalion.
Dingzhou City, inside the headquarters of the Japanese army.
Chuan Kang, the supreme commander of the Japanese puppet army on the West Road, faced the table full of sumptuous dishes in front of him, and had no desire to move his chopsticks, the reason was very simple, his Western Route Coalition Army poured out, and nearly 10,000 imperial elites also threw themselves into battle.
However, the nearly 100,000 people still could not completely break through the defense line of the Dragon Tooth Column on the front line of Lingshou, and the tenacity of the Dragon Tooth Column exceeded the imagination of this Japanese major general.
Take today's daytime battle situation as an example, after paying the heavy price of casualties, the main force of the Japanese puppet army attacking on the frontal battlefield of Cihe finally broke through several forward defense lines of the enemy in front of them by virtue of their superiority in numbers and fire support from air fighters.
However, before it could get dark at night, the Japanese fighters had just returned due to fuel and weather, and the Dragon's Tooth Regiment immediately launched a counterattack.
With ferocious firepower, not afraid of life and death, and the courage to fight for their lives, they forced out the thousands of Japanese puppet troops who had already captured their forward positions.
In this way, the Dragon's Tooth Column recaptured the position lost in the afternoon, and the Japanese puppet army, which suffered heavy casualties, lost the position they had so hard to capture.
In fact, this battle has been fought so far, and the Dragon's Tooth Regiment is already a little overstretched in terms of troops, and the reason why the counterattack has been successful is in addition to the spirit and will to regard death as home.
The German MP38 submachine gun and the MG34 general-purpose machine gun they were armed with were indispensable.
In close battles for position, the advantages of rapid-fire firepower and fire continuity of submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns can be brought into full play.
The Japanese puppet army, which had just stormed for a day and had lost its body and energy, suffered heavy casualties after being hit by the dense locust-like firepower, and because of the strong continuity of the opponent's firepower, those devils who were unwilling to retreat did not even have the opportunity to fight bayonets.
The superiority in troops, constrained by the terrain, was completely suppressed by superior firepower, so they suffered defeat and lost the positions they had painstakingly captured.
These details, it is obvious that the Japanese commander on the front line has reported them to Kawayasu Makubian, so Kawayasu Makubian will be in a heavy mood and unable to eat.
Seeing this, a devil adjutant stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Excellency, the food is almost cold, you should eat it while it is hot, no matter what the war is, your body is important, and when you are full, you will have the body and energy to command the battle." ”
Kawa Yasu didn't show too much resistance to his subordinates' concern, but just snorted coldly, glanced at the food on the table and said, "Go and get me a pot of sake." ”
"Hay." The adjutant hurriedly bowed his head in response, and then turned to leave.
After a while, the adjutant brought a pot of sake produced in Japan for Kawayasu, who took the sake, waved his hand at him, and motioned, "Sit down and drink two glasses with me." ”
The adjutant did not dare to disobey, and quickly sat down, then stood up again and poured wine for him.
After three rounds of drinking, Kawayasu talked a lot, and gradually shifted from military affairs to trivial matters such as family life that were never mentioned on weekdays.
Although the devil adjutant was not very impatient, who let the other party be his own commander, he could only sit upright and be a loyal listener, listening to the nonsense of Kawayasu Yama, and from time to time he had to pour him wine respectfully.
…………
At the same time that Major General Chuan Kang was drinking to drown his sorrows, Qiao Youhua also took twenty heavily armed elite cavalry to the wilderness outside the west of Dingzhou City, and under the cover of the thick night, they quietly approached the city wall.
There was no one around, and not long after the devil patrol had passed, Qiao Youhua was the first to climb up to the city with a pair of rope ladders that he had built in the afternoon, and then tied it to the battlement wall and put it down.
Twenty elite cavalry quickly climbed in from outside the city in turn, Qiao Youhua directly untied the rope ladder and threw it outside the city, and jumped off the city wall with them.
When the last two elite cavalry jumped from the city wall, the footsteps of a group of Japanese patrols could be heard, and Qiao Youhua immediately instructed everyone not to move, and hid next to the dark city wall.
Soon, the footsteps of the devil patrol were getting closer and closer, and under the city wall, the cavalry elites couldn't help but hold their breath, for fear of alarming the enemy on the city wall.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and the devil patrol did not find anything abnormal, and swaggered past the city above their heads, when their footsteps gradually faded away.
Qiao Youhua immediately waved his hand, bent his waist, and led the soldiers to run towards the nearest house to the city wall, and the soldiers followed suit.
With the reconnaissance during the day, Qiao Youhua was familiar with the road in the county, picking out the alleys where no one was around, walking through the paths, and it didn't take long to come to the vicinity of the devil's munitions warehouse in the north of the city.
In an alley, Qiao Youhua half-squatted and waved his hand behind him, signaling the twenty cavalry soldiers who followed behind him to squat down and stand by, but his eyes were on the door of the Japanese warehouse with flashing lights on the right side of the alley.
It was a large courtyard, with sack fortifications at the door, two light machine guns on each side, about a squad of devils were standing guard at the door, and six people were squatting in the sack fortifications on both sides of the door, responsible for two light machine guns.
The other devils stood in the doorway and between the fortifications, walking back and forth with their guns in hand.
Just when Qiao Youhua wanted to act, a Japanese patrol of about twenty people suddenly walked from the street on the left side of the alley with neat steps towards the warehouse.
Qiao Youhua hurriedly lowered his body as much as he could, allowing this devil patrol to pass through the street in front of him.
It didn't take long for it to be heard from a distance, the devil patrol stopped, and then there was a Japanese conversation, from the content of their conversation, Qiao Youhua could hear that this was this devil patrol chatting with the guards at the door of the warehouse.
After about two minutes, the two groups of devils had ended their conversation, and the patrol of twenty men turned around and headed back into the street from which they had come.
"Commander, what shall we do?" A cavalry soldier behind Qiao Youhua asked in a low voice.
The devil's defense of the warehouse seems to be tighter than when Qiao Youhua came to inspect during the day, and it may not be advisable to attack rashly, and the devils in the squad at the door are easy to solve, but as soon as the gunshots go off, there will be a devil patrol coming soon.
At that time, Qiao Youhua and the others will not have time to plant explosives.
After thinking about it, Qiao Youhua caught a glimpse of the house behind him, and instructed them: "Come two people, follow me to the roof, and the others wait for me to signal to do it!" ”
