Chapter 695: Anti-Japanese War Version of Decapitation Operation (1)
Everything was carried out according to plan, and the standard was like a clock.
After resting for two hours, the elite members of the assault company and the county guerrilla brigade, while eating and drinking something casually, began to receive their respective tasks -- out of the principle of secrecy, everyone present did not know anything except Zhao Shanhe and Shi Baichuan, the leader of the county guerrilla brigade, who knew the combat objectives and specific details.
Zhao Shanhe gathered the squad and platoon cadres and issued this combat mission: First, after attacking the little devil's barracks, Zhao Shanhe led a platoon to the command post of the little devil to achieve the combat goal of making the little devil 'snake headless' - in fact, it is the beheading that everyone is familiar with in modern times. Second: Be sure to try to grab the radio and other radio-related parts in the hands of the little devil in good condition. This glorious task was carried out by the second platoon. Third: The third platoon is responsible for attacking the arsenal of the little devils, and once the arsenal of the little devils is occupied, it will be handed over to the county guerrilla brigade to be responsible for guarding. Try to keep the arsenal safe, it's really not good, it's better to destroy it than leave it to the little devils...... It is estimated that even if the little devil's military camp is attacked, the little devil will definitely fight to protect its command post, so the second and third platoons will immediately move closer to the first platoon after achieving the combat goal and help the first platoon completely eliminate the little devil's command post.
At the same time, the elite of the county guerrilla brigade is not only responsible for guarding the periphery and catching fish that slip through the net, but also responsible for guarding the arsenal of the little devils, and also responsible for cleaning the 'battlefield' in the camp of the little devils and building a temporary defense line...... After completely seizing the little devil barracks, immediately establish a defensive line to deal with the counterattack of the devils, and must defend until the arrival of the large army.
For ordinary soldiers, fighting a war is actually not the most tiring, the most tiring thing is the preparation before the war.
For example, now, the assault company is very sure of capturing the little devil barracks, but the problem is how to ensure that before the battle starts, the team can be secretly taken to the little devil barracks to ambush, and so that the grass is not startled, this is the most difficult...... Otherwise, they would not have been able to take great pains to build a mourning hall in order to have a public gathering place that would not arouse suspicion.
And the most difficult time period is not the time of ambush, but the time from the sound of guns outside the city to the time when the assault company launches an attack, how to not only ambush but also not let others suspect?
The number of little devils in Sanqiao County is the smallest in the three counties, only about 100 people. At the same time, the two devils are the most numerous, according to intelligence, it has reached 684 people, and it is claimed that it is thousands of people.
And the elite sent by the assault regiment and the county guerrilla brigade together amounted to two hundred and three people.
Whether it is the proportion of people or weapons and equipment, they are not comparable to the other party, and besides, the little devil is on the defensive side. If we attack so strongly, not to mention the sheep in the mouth of the tiger, and not to mention the great chance of successfully completing the mission, even if there is really an accident and the command post of the little devils is captured, it will certainly be a miserable victory, and when the time comes, how will the rest of the people face the counterattack of the little devils on the periphery? If they cannot defend it, then they will lose the two meanings of this combat mission, and at most they can only be regarded as adding chaos to the little devils...... The assault company is an elite composition selected by the whole regiment, and even the county guerrilla brigade is composed of its elite backbones.
Therefore, the only thing that can be relied on in this sneak attack on the little devil barracks is to take advantage of the fact that the commando group outside the city attacked the county seat, making the little devils and the second devils panic willfully, they went to sneak attack the little devil barracks.
The general plan is: at the beginning of the attack outside the city, the little devils will definitely draw the main force from the barracks to strengthen the resistance on the city wall, and at that time, not only the little devils and the second devils will be panicked, but more importantly, the little devil barracks will definitely be empty, and at most there will only be some old, weak, sick and disabled people left to take care of their homes. And at this time, if there are only a hundred people left in the devil's barracks, it will be considered the sky, and in that case, the number of elite backbones of the assault company and the county guerrilla brigade will be counted as two to one. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are panicking, but their morale is high here, so naturally there is no need to say much. In terms of firepower, the little devil would not have thought that the assault company had already touched their side - first, the tactic of central flowering is simple to say, but it is extremely dangerous to fight and execute, because it is deep into the heart of the enemy, and it is not a vote to leave, but to hold on, in the face of the enemy's crazy counterattack, the danger is needless to say. In addition, the little devil has always been arrogant, and he has not suffered much in this regard, so under their arrogance, they will subconsciously think that the other party does not dare to do this, and they do not have the courage to do so.
In this way, it is destined that the little devil will only leave the most basic defensive firepower in the barracks, and more firepower will naturally support the defense on the city wall. Therefore, in terms of firepower, it will not be stronger than that of the assault company.
Such various factors have changed from the previous disadvantage to their own advantages, and the balance of victory and defeat is naturally clear at a glance. Of course, this only refers to attacking the little devil barracks, and then in the face of the little devils' counterattack, whether they can hold on or not is unpredictable.
In this way, since it is a decision to sneak attack, the words 'fighting the grass and startling the snake' are particularly important and have become a key point.
For this reason, whether it was Zhang Qingshan or the regimental staff, even Luo Yingjie was deliberately sent to put down all the work at hand and go to Sanqiao County to conduct intelligence collection and on-the-spot investigations...... Everyone boiled a lot of brain cells to death, and finally found a relatively safe way.
Longfeng Restaurant is about 100 meters to the right of the main gate of the Little Devil Barracks, covering a wide area, with two floors up and down, and there are many private rooms inside, plus the backyard is wide, there is no problem with hiding more than 100 people. It's really not good, you can also let the Longfeng Restaurant close for a day, so that if you count the hall, it is more than enough to hide two or three hundred people...... Of course, the little devils have many eyes and ears in the county, so in this way, Longfeng Restaurant, the largest underground joint point in the county, is more likely to be exposed. However, after all, it is only a joint point, and afterwards, a new joint point can be established elsewhere in the lower county town. Compared to this mission, it is still very cost-effective.
Just by taking advantage of the reason for the funeral, under the pretext of not enough food, the dragon and phoenix restaurant was wrapped, so that everyone came to the restaurant in twos and threes, and the door of the restaurant was closed, who knew to outsiders?
When the gunshots of the guerrilla brigade rang out, the heavy task that had been prepared for a long time immediately opened the door of the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant, and took advantage of the fact that the crowd on the street instinctively wanted to go home to escape the war, and the opportunity to run in a panic, everyone immediately acted according to the previous plan.
However, it is not to dispatch all of them as soon as they come up, but to take advantage of the chaos to exclude a few people to ambush at the front and back doors of the devil's barracks: at this time, the little devils and the second devils in the devil's barracks have not yet gone out to increase their numbers, so naturally they can't startle the snakes, so they only need to send a few people to squat and guard.
Through the window, I saw the little devils and the second devils in the barracks rushing out frantically and scattering to increase the number of people.
Zhao Shanhe silently calculated in his heart.
When the little devil and the second devil no longer rushed out of the barracks, and Zhao Shanhe calculated that there were probably more than 400 people from the little devil and the second devil, plus the one or two hundred people who were usually standing guard on the four city walls, that is to say, at this time, there were about 200 people left in the little devil barracks.
"Company commander, the little devils and the second devils are almost out, let's fight?"
Zhao Shanhe glanced at him, then looked at the little devil barracks, thought about it, shook his head, and said, "There are more than two hundred enemies, wait a minute." ”
This is the benefit of experience and the stability of the city government! Because of Zhao Shanhe's patience, rather than rushing to attack, his chances of success in attacking the devil's military camp have increased a lot. Because, there is still a unit in the devil camp that has not come out.
No, when the sound of shells exploding came, this special elite unit in the devil's camp immediately dispatched. I saw thirty or forty little devils, carrying a few small steel cannons and their many shell boxes, under the protection of fifty or sixty two devils, frantically rushing out of the barracks and heading towards the south city gate to increase their troops.
To be honest, soldiers, for powerful weapons, really love everyone. Especially for the people in the assault regiment, under Zhang Qingshan's subtle influence, for light and heavy machine guns, small steel cannons, and the like, which are easy to carry and powerful, it is really a direct saliva to see - who calls the assault regiment poor, self-made, and has nowhere to replenish, it can only be captured from the enemy.
To put it mildly, if it weren't for the military regulations, the mission, and Zhao Shanhe didn't speak, otherwise, everyone would rush out now and snatch these small steel cannons.
Waiting until this group of people disappeared around the corner of the street, Zhao Shanhe looked at the devil camp again, and then gave the order - action!
Zhao Shanhe led the first platoon and the second platoon to attack the main gate of the Little Devil Barracks, the third platoon was responsible for attacking the back gate of the Little Devil Barracks, and the Longfeng County Guerrilla Brigade was responsible for the periphery of the guard, and at the same time shouldered the heavy responsibility of providing timely support in case the attack did not go well.
The third platoon had to take a detour to reach the back gate of the little devil barracks, so the third platoon set off first.
After waiting for the third platoon to set off for two minutes, Zhao Shanhe pondered that when the third platoon arrived at the back gate of the little devil barracks, his side would start to attack, just enough to achieve the tactics of flanking the front and rear.
"Comrades, when the time has come to test the combat effectiveness of our assault company, we will show me the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and death, so that the little devils know that they know the strength of our assault company...... Let's go!"
After a simple pre-war mobilization, Zhao Shanhe opened the main gate of the restaurant, and rushed to the main gate of the little devil barracks with a row of soldiers in the second row......
