Chapter 18: Ambush
After eating dry food, the Wolf Warrior squad continued to march.
But then it's a normal speed march.
In order to achieve the intention of concealing his whereabouts, Wang Ye chose a remote mountain road.
By one o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived near the Dahu Pavilion stronghold.
Peeling through the grass, you can see the Tiger Pavilion stronghold in the valley from a distance.
The Huting stronghold is stuck on the road from Yangquan County to Lingyang County, and its geographical location is very important, and in the future, the Japanese army will use troops in the Taihang base area (Note 1), and it will definitely pass through the Huting stronghold.
It is precisely because of this that the Japanese army in Shanxi will station heavy troops in the Huting stronghold.
According to intelligence, in addition to a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army stationed in the Huting stronghold, there is also a reinforced battalion of the puppet army, with a total strength of more than 700 people.
Compared with a stronghold with only a hundred or even dozens of people,
The garrison of the Huting stronghold can indeed be regarded as a heavy army.
After observing for a while, Wang Ye said again: "Xiao Wang, telescope!" ”
Wei Dayong learned to be obedient this time, and hurriedly handed over the telescope.
Wang Ye stretched out his hand and took the telescope, which he had borrowed from Kong Jie.
The Independent Regiment now has only two telescopes captured from the Japanese army, one in the hands of Kong Jie and the other in the hands of the first battalion commander Guan Dashan.
This is a 13-year 6×24 telescope, or a six-fold telescope.
Military hand-held telescopes are generally between six and ten times, and there must be a tripod above the multiple, otherwise the picture will shake so much that it is not clear at all.
Through the telescope, the stronghold of the Tiger Pavilion can be seen clearly.
You can even see the expressions on the faces of the devils in the stronghold.
After observing for a while, Wang Ye put down the binoculars again, turned around and shouted, "Plum Blossom A." ”
Liu Dongtang, who was scribbling with a pencil in a small notebook, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted that Wang Ye was calling him, so he quickly put away the pencil and notebook and crawled over.
Wang Ye asked, "What were you doing just now?" ”
"Didn't do anything." Liu Dongtang smiled awkwardly.
Wang Ye said: "I've seen it all, what are you painting?" ”
"Didn't draw anything." Liu Dongtang said, "It's just about painting and playing." ”
Wang Ye said: "Since you like painting so much, I will give you a task." ”
Stretching out his hand and pointing to the Tiger Pavilion stronghold in front of him, Wang Ye said again: "You draw the Tiger Pavilion stronghold, there are several turrets, several pillboxes, and several houses in the stronghold. ”
Liu Dongtang glanced forward and said with a bitter face: "I can't see clearly." ”
"Here's for you." Wang Ye handed over the telescope and said, "Remember, there must be no mistakes, not even the shape of the surrounding trenches. ”
Liu Dongtang replied solemnly: "Yes, I guarantee to complete the task." ”
Wang Ye beckoned Liu Dazhu and Wu Ming to come over, and said, "Plum blossom K, plum blossom J, you two stay and be responsible for guarding." ”
"Yes."
Liu Dazhu, Wu Mingdao.
Wang Ye took the other war wolves around the Tiger Pavilion stronghold.
From the Huting stronghold to the south, electric poles began to appear on the side of the road.
A telephone pole made of wood with two copper-core telephone wires on it.
Wang Ye chose a mountain col about five kilometers away from the Huting stronghold, and then asked Li Sigen, who was the most powerful tree climber, to climb the telephone pole and cut the telephone line.
For the Eighth Route Army, copper-core telephone lines are also valuable materials.
Li Sigen took the two wolf warriors in the same group and harvested the telephone lines all the way.
Wang Ye and Wei Dayong set up an ambush on the side of the highway with six other war wolves, quietly waiting for the devil's telephone soldiers to come to repair the line.
The Japanese army had strict regulations.
Each base has to talk to the county seat every hour.
Therefore, in an hour at most, the devils in the Huting stronghold will find that the telephone line is faulty, and they will definitely send telephone soldiers to repair the line at that time.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, the neighing of horses suddenly sounded ahead.
Wang Xikui, who was in charge of the vigilance, immediately turned around and shouted, "King, the devil is here." ”
Wang Ye, who was closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, immediately opened his eyes, but saw that two devils were riding Oriental horses, trotting all the way along the road, and there was a squad of puppet soldiers behind the horse's buttocks.
Normally, the maintenance line is just two devil phone soldiers.
However, because the Huting stronghold was too deep into the Taihang base of the Eighth Route Army, it was vulnerable to attacks by the Eighth Route Army, so an additional squad of puppet troops was dispatched.
But this is a piece of meat on the side of the mouth for the wolf warrior team.
"Prepare for battle!" Wang Ye let out a low snort, pulled out a strip of cloth from the muzzle, pulled the bolt and pushed it into the chamber.
Wei Dayong and the other seven wolf warriors also took out the strip of cloth that plugged the muzzle of the gun, then pulled the bolt to push the bullet to load, and then aimed the muzzle of the gun at the devil puppet army in front.
Wang Ye said again: "Listen to it, don't beat the horses, keep the horses to carry the supplies." ”
"Carrying supplies?" Wang Xikui said, "King, isn't it just a few rifles, and you still need a horse to carry it?" ”
"You kid knows a piece of." Wang Ye said, "The little devil wants to send our wolf warrior team away with a few rifles?" How can there be such a good thing? ”
Wang Xikui was silent.
Soon, the devil puppet army entered the firing range.
However, Wang Ye did not rush to shoot, but waited until the devil puppet army entered within fifty meters.
"Hit!" Wang Ye let out a low cry and took the lead in pulling the trigger, only to hear the sound of "horn hook", and the devil who was riding in front of him immediately bounced in his eyebrows and fell from the horse's back.
Wei Dayong, Wang Xikui and other seven team members opened fire one after another.
Eight of the devils and puppet soldiers on the highway fell in an instant.
The distance of fifty meters is simply a gift for nothing for these wolf warriors.
The remaining seven puppet soldiers were instantly stunned, and they didn't dare to run away when they stood still.
Until Wang Ye and other war wolves rushed out of the roadside shouting "surrender the gun or not kill", the seven puppet soldiers simply knelt on the ground and raised their rifles above the top.
"We surrender!"
"Eighth Master, we didn't do anything evil."
"The brethren just eat with their mouths, and they don't have to do evil."
The seven puppet soldiers were frightened like chaff and begged for mercy.
Wang Ye walked up to a puppet soldier with the rank of sergeant and asked, "Are you the squad leader?" ”
"Yes, yes, I'm the squad leader." The squad leader of the puppet army kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy, "But Eighth Master, I'm really just eating with a mouthful, I really haven't fought the Eighth Route Army, I really haven't wow." ”
"Really?" Wang Ye's eyes were as cold as a knife.
"Not really." The puppet squad leader swore a curse, "Absolutely not." ”
Wang Ye didn't say he believed or didn't believe it, and asked again, "What's your name?" ”
"The villain's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Youcai." The puppet army squad leader said, "I used to work in the security regiment. ”
"Zhao Youcai, right?" Wang Ye nodded, and said, "Listen to me, I don't want to be a traitor and a lackey for the devil, and if I encounter our Eighth Route Army in the future, I will shoot it into the sky." ”
"Yes, yes, you must shoot the gun in the sky."
Zhao Youcai said repeatedly: "You must release the gun to the sky." ”
While the two were talking, the battlefield had already been cleaned up.
A total of two southern-style pistols and fifteen Liao 13 were seized.
The Liao 13 rifle is a fist product produced by the Shenyang Arsenal.
If Zhang Zuolin had known and knew that the Shenyang Arsenal he had built at great expense was actually cheaper than the Japanese in the end, it was estimated that he would have been so angry that he would have come back to death again.
In addition, there are 14 rounds of 8mm caliber pistol ammunition and more than 300 rounds of 7.92mm caliber Mauser rifle rounds.
Seeing that Zhao Youcai and other puppet soldiers were wearing cotton clothes, Wang Ye said again: "Take off all the cotton clothes and pants on your body, damn, our Eighth Route Army is still wearing single clothes." ”
"Yes, yes, it's off."
Several puppet soldiers hurriedly took off their cotton clothes and pants.
At this time, Wei Dayong also chased the two horses back.
Wang Ye asked Wei Dayong to tie the guns and ammunition and the cotton clothes and pants stripped from the devil's puppet army to the horse's back, and then said to Zhao Youcai: "Go back and tell the little devils in the Huting stronghold, just say that I thank them for their hospitality this time, and in a few days, I will come to them again and ask them to prepare more weapons, ammunition, and cotton clothes." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Youcai said repeatedly, "I must bring it." ”
"Brothers, go." Wang Ye waved his hand, turned around and walked away.
When Wang Ye and the others disappeared on the mountain road, several puppet soldiers turned around and ran.
Wang Ye didn't go far, they stopped when they walked to a place where the puppet army couldn't see it.
The puppets couldn't see them, but they could see them through the cracks in the branches.
Seeing Zhao Youcai fleeing in a hurry with a few puppet soldiers, Wei Dayong said, "King, why don't you kill them?" ”
Wang Ye said casually: "*** said that if you want to win the War of Resistance Against Japan, you must make a lot of friendly troops and a few enemies, so we can't beat the puppet army to death with a stick." ”
"For the puppet army that has the value of fighting, we must strive for it as much as possible."
"Then our strength will gradually increase, and the enemy's strength will weaken.
A few war wolves couldn't understand it, but this didn't prevent them from casting admiring glances at Wang Ye.
Wang Ye said again: "Okay, tell you what to do with this, hurry up and check the equipment and prepare for battle." ”
"Fighting?" Wei Dayong was stunned and said, "King, didn't the battle just end?" ”
"The end?" Wang Ye said, "Fool, the battle has just begun. ”

Note 1: The division of the base in the play "Bright Sword" is different from the historical facts, the historical Taihang base is south of Zhengtai Road and east of the Baijin Line, but the Taihang base in the play is located in the north of Zhengtai Road, this book does not refer to historical facts, but the division in the play, so the defense area of the independent regiment is also north of Zhengtai Road, which belongs to part of the northwest of Jin.
