Chapter Ninety-Three: Night Attack
"Go and put away all the equipment on the devil's body, and the military uniforms too. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Then let the surrendered puppet army dig a pit and bury them here as fertilizer! Wang Ping pointed to the corpse not far away and ordered.
When the ordinary soldiers of the independent battalion began to get busy, several company commanders did not leave, and all gathered around Wang Ping. In the end, Zeng Quan asked the question that everyone wanted to know the answer to.
"Battalion commander, I don't understand a little! Fight devils, fight devils, why did you just let us bring back the corpses of devils! ”
"There are so many of us, even if we pick up the clothes of the little devils on the battlefield, there is no need to bring the corpse back, it's quite unlucky!"
Wang Ping no longer concealed it, and asked directly: "Do you know what the little devil is most afraid of?" ”
Zhao Wenhua, the instructor of the first company, obviously had some understanding of Japanese culture, and replied thoughtfully: "I have heard that the little devil is most afraid of dying without a corpse, and the bones cannot be sent back to China. In that case, their souls will not be able to go back to their families, and they will become what we often call lonely ghosts! ”
"Yes, I just want to make the devils outside the mountains fear us. Since the devil commander is very cautious, he will definitely not send troops into the mountains to pursue us. Of course, if he dares to send troops into the mountains, then it will be just right, and we can easily eat them! ”
"After the little devils are afraid and afraid, they will definitely not dare to come out to patrol again, and they will all shrink into the barracks. When the time comes, we will have the opportunity to quietly approach the devil camp and find a way to eat them! ”
The veteran cadres of the independent battalion who had fought many victories with Wang Ping saw Wang Ping with a convincing face at this time. But those new cadres are different, some are skeptical, some don't understand, and many people don't believe that the devil will really do what Wang Ping said.
Wang Ping did not continue to explain, and after ordering the troops to rest in place, he directly began to close his eyes and recuperate and recover his strength.
Less than an hour later, Zhong Yusheng, who was scouting outside, came back. After running all the way to Wang Ping's side, he reported with admiration: "Battalion commander, you judged too accurately, the devil was really scared by us, afraid that he would not see anyone alive or dead!" ”
"The devil just gathered all the subordinates outside the barracks to the barracks, and now outside the temporary garrison of the Japanese army, except for the puppet army, there is no little devil!"
The surrounding subordinates didn't need Wang Ping to greet them. Needless to say, the old cadres of the independent battalion all looked at Wang Ping with a hot face.
In their impression, since the battalion commander had calculated the devil from the beginning and judged what the devil would do next, the battalion commander must have thought of a way to break the enemy.
Those new cadres showed expressions of shock and admiration, and then looked at Wang Ping with a longing expression, wanting to see what this battalion commander who had been passed on by the headquarters would do next!
"How are the forces of the puppet army distributed!" didn't let them wait too long, Wang Ping asked Zhong Yusheng rhetorically.
"There are two companies of puppet soldiers, one company is responsible for guarding the prisoners and young people in the stronghold, and the other company is responsible for patrolling and guarding around the devil's station. The patrol force and the alert force were all in squads, and the puppet troops who watched the prisoners and built the turrets were also scattered around the stronghold in squads. Both companies were armed with only one Czech-made one, and the rest were all rifles! Zhong Yusheng poured beans into a bamboo tube, and immediately told all the information he had detected.
"After dark, eat these two companies and rescue all the captives and young men in the hands of the devil. Then make persistent efforts to take the devil station before dawn and destroy all the Japanese troops here! Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he decided directly.
"The lion opens his mouth!" This was the first subconscious thought of some of the new cadres around who had just joined the independent battalion.
In their minds, it was difficult for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to use a main battalion to attack head-on and take down an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, and it was almost impossible to achieve. What's more, a newly formed unit of the independent battalion plans to eat two companies of the puppet army and a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars, and even infantry artillery in one night.
But just when they were about to raise an objection that it was simply impractical.
Zhang Qing, the commander of the first company, seemed to have been stimulated by something, and shouted feverishly: "Great, I finally have to fight the little devil." Battalion commander, the devil is equipped with infantry guns, is it that after they are captured, these two infantry guns will remain in our independent battalion! ”
Wang Ping affirmed: "There are so many little devils between us and the military subdivision, even if we want to give it to the military subdivision, the conditions are not allowed!" How? Zhang Qing: What do you think? ”
Zhang Qing hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "Battalion commander, you are joking, what can we think, I am thinking of the two infantry guns equipped by the devils." As long as we have infantry artillery, we don't need to fill it with human lives when we encounter the devil's turret in the future. ”
"Battalion commander, give the order, how should we fight. In any case, we have to snatch the two infantry guns in the hands of the devil tonight! The other two company commanders asked for battle.
The three company commanders all stared at Wang Ping with a fanatical expression, believing that Wang Ping could eat the Japanese troops here in one night. These new cadres, no matter how much they worry, can only suppress them in their hearts, and then swallow back the words that just came to their lips and wait and see what happens.
Wang Ping did not give them any explanation and analysis, in Wang Ping's opinion, the best way to make them believe in themselves and convince themselves is to lead them to victory. You must know that many of them are older than themselves, and if they don't have excellent combat exploits, they will never be convinced by just one mouth.
Therefore, Wang Ping maintained his usual style and ordered his subordinates around him.
"Lao Zeng, I will give you two or three companies, or use the method just now to eat a company of the puppet army responsible for vigilance and patrol. Now there is still more than half an hour before dark, I will give you an hour to prepare, and in an hour, launch the attack on time! ”
"In addition, there are not many real traitors in the puppet army, and when they can fight, they will be captured. But there can be no mercy, the mortar in the hands of the devil is not vegetarian, and it must be solved quickly. When you're done, assemble here! ”
"The others followed me to attack the devil's stronghold, eat another company of the puppet army, and then rescue all the prisoners and young people!"
After the puppet army completely replaced the devils to patrol around, at first, all the puppet soldiers were nervous, afraid that they would also be attacked by the enemy, and then disappear without a trace.
But the puppet army is a puppet army after all, because it was not attacked, and the nerves were relaxed after less than an hour.
By this time, it was completely dark, and if it was normal, they were now sitting around the tent for dinner.
But not today, because they were in charge of patrolling the entire perimeter of the station, and they had to wait until everyone else had eaten all their dinner. And because there was no one to rotate them, they moved their dinner location directly from their tents to the bitterly cold wilderness.
Looking at the brightly lit garrison a kilometer away, few hungry puppet soldiers could still maintain their spirits to patrol and be vigilant.
At this moment, the independent battalion was taking advantage of the cover of night, with two combat squads of twenty-four people as a group, slowly touching the devil guard post and patrol.
