Chapter 68: Fishing in Troubled Waters
"Since the eyes of the devils are all in Shuiquan Village, the guards in other places must be very loose. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince this is the case, then we can sneak out of Shuiquan Village under the cover of night, take the two devil strongholds, and completely mess up the situation in Laiyuan, so that the devils in Laiyuan City are even more unclear about our strength! Wang Ping continued to propose.
Cheng Xiao's eyes also lit up at this time, and he said excitedly: "The more chaotic the situation in Laiyuan, the more we can fish in troubled waters." If we are lucky, we can still gain a firm foothold in Laiyuan, and it is possible to expand the base to Laiyuan! ”
After finishing speaking, he asked Wang Ping: "Battalion commander, a chaotic Laiyuan may bring us too many benefits, how do you say we should fight, I will definitely support you!" ”
"Three steps!" Wang Ping replied with a serious face, and then began to give orders.
"Lao Zeng, I will give you a company, and under the condition of ensuring the casualties of the troops, block Shuiquan Village as much as possible, the longer the better. If you really can't do it, retreat immediately. Of course, when retreating, don't forget to mobilize the people of Shuiquan Village to temporarily leave the village for refuge. After the little devil found out that Shuiquan Village did not have the main force of the Eighth Route Army they were looking for, he was likely to vent his anger on the ordinary people. ”
"As for your retreat destination, here it is!" Wang Ping pointed to a small village called Zhangjiawan on the map.
Cheng Xiaohe and Zeng Quan looked at the map and thought of Wang Ping's intention to let the troops hide here.
Zhangjiawan is said to be a village, but it is more appropriate to describe it as a temporary gathering point.
In the past, it was a place for hunters to go into the mountains to hunt and rest temporarily, and later a war broke out here, in order to avoid disasters, several hunters directly moved their families to the mountains, and now Zhangjiawan was formed.
Because the village is too small, and there are very few people. Until now, it is only a mountain road from the official road outside the mountain to Zhangjiawan.
If it weren't for the fact that the map of the devil was too accurate, the general map would not show the place of Zhangjiawan at all.
If the troops hide here, the devil will definitely not be able to think of it.
Not only that, going out of the mountain from Zhangjiawan is the official road, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words "attack" and "retreat" and defense.
The troops are hiding here, as long as there are fighters outside the mountain, the troops can immediately go out of the mountain to fight the devils!
Thinking of this, Zeng Quan immediately replied: "Please rest assured that the battalion commander will complete the task!" ”
Wang Ping turned to Cheng Xiao and said, "Old Cheng, the next step is the second step, completely disrupt the situation in Laiyuan!" ”
"I will divide the troops with you to fight, you take the baggage platoon and all the prisoners, rush to Zhangjiawan first, train new soldiers, mobilize prisoners to join our Eighth Route Army, and guard the equipment and supplies we have captured by the way!"
"In the next battle, the equipment and materials captured by the troops, as well as the prisoners, and the recruits who are willing to join our Eighth Route Army, I will send them all to Zhangjiawan and hand them over to the instructor!"
"As for me, take all the remaining combat troops of the independent battalion, take the initiative to attack, take the two strongholds of the Japanese puppet army as quickly as possible, and then take advantage of the Laiyuan City devils to react, withdraw to Zhangjiawan for repair, and wait for the fighters!"
Cheng Xiao suddenly opened his mouth and proposed: "Battalion commander, I also have an idea, the two strongholds you are preparing to attack should be far away. In this way, the devil will be even more unclear about our strength, and it will not be far from the chaos we want! ”
Wang Ping nodded in affirmation: "That's what I think!" ”
"First choose a stronghold in the north of Laiyuan City, then choose a stronghold in the west to attack, and finally go back here, so that the devils can't figure out our strength and position at all, and become headless flies!"
The Japanese army headquarters in Laiyuan City, because Ono Osa has been gloomy and does not speak, the entire headquarters has become more and more depressed because of this.
At this time, the chief of staff hurriedly came over and reported: "Wing Commander, after the staff department summarized all the information, we found that the soldiers we went to Shuiquan Village to investigate had all disappeared outside Shuiquan Village!" Humble affirmation, the main force of the Eighth Route Army attacking Shuiquan Village is still in Shuiquan Village, and a large net has been arranged in Shuiquan Village, and we are not allowed to go to Shuiquan Village to investigate and find out the true strength of the Eighth Route Army! ”
"Yo Xi!" Ono Osa had a rare smile on his gloomy face.
Chang breathed a sigh of relief and analyzed: "What I'm most worried about is that Tubalu will slip away after eliminating more than 200 of our imperial army soldiers. Since they are still in Shuiquan Village, it will be easy to do! ”
"Chief of Staff, continue to intensify the investigation of Shuiquan Village, and we must find out the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Shuiquan Village. Tell the garrison troops who cooperate with us that whoever completes the task will be rewarded with 500 silver dollars! If it is our own people, we will be rewarded with 1,000 silver dollars! ”
"Also, order the garrison in the city, and all the stronghold defenders around Shuiquan Village, to prepare for dispatch immediately. As long as we find out the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Shuiquan Village, we will send troops to destroy them! ”
"Hey!" The Chief of Staff replied with a face full of anticipation!
The Japanese stronghold of Wuzhen, which was a full thirty miles away from Shuiquan Village, was too far away from Shuiquan Village, and they did not receive an order to send troops to Shuiquan Village.
Although the captain of the garrison team wanted to take his subordinates to Shuiquan Village to make meritorious contributions, he could only hold on to the stronghold without an order.
But for the puppet army in the stronghold, not going to fight in Shuiquan Village is the result they dream of.
As soon as the devils entered the stronghold to rest, they began to celebrate each other that they had escaped again.
Although they were arranged by the devils to patrol outside the stronghold, compared to going to the battlefield to use the devils as cannon fodder, they were definitely very lucky to be able to stay alive in the stronghold.
Because of the good mood, the puppet army also did its best to patrol and guard at night.
But no matter how energetic they are, by three or four o'clock in the morning, they also become tired.
At this time, Wang Ping came.
After five hours of rapid marching, the stronghold of Wuzhen finally came into Wang Ping's field of vision.
Although the troops were very tired, seeing that there were only more than three hours left before dawn, Wang Ping decisively gave up the idea of letting the troops rest.
"The guard platoon, block all the entrances and exits of Wuzhen, and then cut the telephone line from Wuzhen to the county seat. I want to make sure that we take the news of the Japanese stronghold in Wuzhen and blockade it for at least one day and one night! ”
"The third company, go around to the back of the devil's stronghold to attack, the second company has heavy machine guns, and attack directly from the front, the artillery platoon sets up all three mortars, and at the beginning of the attack, fire on the stronghold, destroying all the fire points in the stronghold!"
"I'll give you half an hour to prepare, and after half an hour, based on the sound of my gunshots, attack the stronghold!"
