Twenty-seventh.

4 p.m.

This seasonal afternoon is not as hot as it gets, but when the sun shines, it is still so hot that people are restless.

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, led a company's main force and set up an ambush on both sides of the slope of the nameless mountain road.

One by one, the soldiers prostrate among the grass and trees on the dirt slope, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy army.

"During this period of time, after we launched counterattacks everywhere, the devils were all threatened by the large and small strongholds on the periphery of our independent regiment's guerrilla area, according to intelligence, a Japanese military transport team will set off from Yangquan this afternoon and go to this area to replenish the supplies of the Japanese puppet army."

Now that the ambush deployment has been fully arranged, after bathing in the sunshine close to summer for nearly 20 minutes, the heat is a little unbearable, mixed with boredom, Shen Quan introduced to the reporter Shen Wenyue on the side.

"According to the intelligence, the devil should pass through here, this mountain road is in the Japanese army's stronghold group and a mountainous area in the center of the county, now the size of the Japanese stronghold has been controlled by our army, the devil puppet army does not dare to leave the stronghold easily, let's take the opportunity to take a detour, the devil puppet army can not detect any movement, suddenly ambushed here, it will definitely be able to catch the devil's transport team off guard."

Shen Quan said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead, this ghost weather, when it's hot, it's annoyingly hot, and when it's cold, it's going to be cold.

He smiled: "To say that every time there is an ambush, the most difficult thing is not after the battle begins, but the time of waiting patiently before the ambush, which is simply called an ordeal, and it is the endurance and willpower of the fighters that fight." ”

Shen Wenyue nodded, she was a capable character with short hair, but despite this, under the shroud of the scorching sun, there were still a lot of beads of sweat on her temples.

What surprised Shen Quan was that he originally thought that Shen Jizhi was a young lady who couldn't endure any hardships.

But in the more than 20 minutes under the sultry sun, even Shen Quan was a little impetuous, but this Shen reporter just wiped a handful of sweat stains from time to time, and was stunned without saying a word.

For this reason, Shen Quan was a little impressed, and he was impressed by this Shen reporter.

"Battalion Commander Shen, is there anything special about the current ambush deployment?" Shen Wenyue opened his mouth, which can be regarded as an on-the-spot interview with the troops.

Shen Quan asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Shen Wenyue said: "When you are ambushed, why do you want to divide it into four small parts for ambush? I once watched the battle of ambushing the Japanese army in some places on the front line, and their ambush of the Japanese army seemed to be very simple, they only needed to ambush on both sides of the road that the Japanese army had to pass through in advance, and wait until the Japanese puppet army stepped into the ambush circle, and then suddenly opened fire, until the end of the battle. ”

Shenquan smiled and asked rhetorically, "Then what is the final result of the battle?" ”

Shen Wenyue thought for a moment and replied: "I remember that the national army that participated in the ambush at that time had a lot more troops than the Japanese troops who passed by, and after the battle began, those Japanese soldiers reacted quickly, and after being attacked by a surprise attack, they were able to react quickly and launch a fire counterattack. ”

"At that time, Commander Qi originally wanted to wipe out all the Japanese troops, but he still let nearly half of the Japanese troops escape."

"The Japanese army's grenadiers are very skillful, and the reaction is even faster, the national army has no artillery fire, some light and heavy machine gun fire, and it only takes a moment to fire at the Japanese troops in the ambush circle, and they are knocked out by the Japanese artillery fire, and the head of Qi also suffered some minor injuries for this."

After hearing this, Shen Quan became more and more curious, and asked, "So, it was a regiment of the local national army that ambushed the Japanese army at that time?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Wenyue said.

"How many people are there?"

"I remember that the number of troops put into battle at that time was more than 1,200 people."

"What about the Japanese army?"

"It is said that there is a squadron of Japanese troops, and there are nearly 200 or so people."

"The final result is that after an ambush, nearly half of the devils were eliminated, and the other half of the devils still escaped?"

"Yes."

"What about the casualties of the national army unit that ambushed the devils?"

"More than 200 people were sacrificed, and more than 300 were wounded."

Shen Quan nodded and said, "It's an ambush war, and it's nearly five or six times the superiority of troops, but it's still like this...... Having said that, with the combat effectiveness of the local miscellaneous army, it is not bad to have this record. ”

"The devil troops, whether it is the quality of the soldiers or the superiority of equipment, are far superior to the miscellaneous armies in these places, and often even if they are ambushes, the troops that need to be dispatched must be three or five times that of the Japanese army, or even more."

"That's it, don't try to please you, while eliminating the devil, your own casualties are also unavoidable."

"However, if the commander of the national army at that time could deploy his troops like I did in front of me, maybe that devil squadron, not a single devil would want to escape."

Shen Wenyue asked, "Battalion Commander Shen, is there anything special about dividing the ambush force into such four parts?" ”

Shen Quan said: "Of course, we are particular, since it is an ambush war, we are naturally here for the purpose of eliminating all the little devils."

But the devil has long legs, he can run, and if we want to eliminate all the devils in this situation, we naturally have to spend some thought on ambush deployment.

At present, the mountain road that the devils must pass through is going east and west, and I will divide my forces into four parts, on both sides of this mountain road, one on the left and one on the right is the main ambush point, in addition, 300 meters away from the west on the left side of the mountain road, and 300 meters east on the right side of the mountain road, and then set up an interception point.

These two points are naturally used to prevent the devil from escaping from these two directions after being ambushed.

In addition, there is the arrangement of troops, and these four ambush points are also exquisite, such as the left and right ambush points in the middle, at least sixty percent of the troops must be arranged.

As for the interception points in the east and west directions, about 20 percent of the troops will be arranged for each of them. ”

Speaking of this, I saw Shen Wenyue on the side with beads of sweat on her temples, but she still listened seriously.

Considering that this simple ambush tactic is not a military secret, our Eighth Route Army troops have always been broad-minded, and even the guerrilla tactics on which they relied for survival were often preached to the outside world during the period of cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party, and some KMT generals were taught experience.

The tactics used to fight devils do not have to be hidden.

It would also be a good thing if this reporter could really publicize this ambush tactic through the newspapers in order to enhance the combat experience of the national army units in all aspects.

Shen Quan smiled and continued: "After this arrangement, after the devil steps into the ambush circle, he suddenly encounters a surprise attack, and he will definitely not be stupid to continue to stay in the ambush circle to fight our army, and most of them will choose a direction, either east or west to break out."

Then they will be ambushed by the two interception points we have deployed in advance, and the firepower of these two interception points arranged by us in advance is relatively abundant, and it is not so easy for the devils to break through for a while.

The four points instantly formed an encirclement and flanked the Japanese troops in the ambush circle from four directions.

In this case, even if the ambushed Japanese troops were equal in strength to ours, they would suffer a big loss.

After the devil is limited in his mobility on the mountain road, it is much more likely that the devil will be wiped out in the encirclement. ”

Shen Wenyue listened to it and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there were so many doorways in a seemingly simple ambush, Camp Chief Shen, you are really amazing." ”

Such a high appreciation made Shen Quan scratch his head a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Reporter Shen, don't say that, just the ambush deployment in front of me is still in an ambush operation a year ago, I learned from our regiment commander!" ”

Speaking of Kong Jie, Shen Wenyue's eyes always swelled with great interest, "I have interviewed many generals of the national army, most of them have attended military schools or taught martial arts, Commander Kong is so powerful, he graduated from a very powerful military school, right?" ”

Shen Quan did laugh and said, "Our head is purely self-taught. ”

“…… Didn't Commander Kong go to military school? ”

"I didn't have a day, and even cultural knowledge was learned later when I joined the army." Shen Quan said.

"It's incredible!" Shen Wenyue was amazed.

"Battalion Commander Shen, is Regiment Commander Kong usually a very serious person?"

"Why do you say that?" Shen Quan wondered.

Shen Wenyue recalled most of the times she met Kong Jie, as well as some times when she interviewed Kong Jie, and said: "When I see Head Kong on weekdays, I rarely see him smiling. ”

"I think an iron-blooded general like Commander Kong, who commands thousands of men and horses to fight on the battlefield, should be very serious."

Shen Quan said happily: "Reporter Shen, then you are blind, have you never seen our regiment leader and the two old comrades-in-arms of Regiment Commander Ding and Regiment Commander Li together, how can there be any seriousness."

Our head of the regiment is actually very good at talking.

In normal times, even the little soldiers in the regiment can tell a few jokes with the regiment commander. ”

"It turns out that Head Kong still has such a side?" Shen Wenyue laughed.

Secretly glancing at Shen Wenyue's smile, Shen Quan muttered to himself on the side:

Regiment Commander, Regiment Commander, we have done everything we can, such a beautiful mother-in-law, you have to seize the opportunity, thousands of soldiers in our regiment are still singles, whether we can break this hole, it's all up to you.

…… As for whether the head of his regiment likes this Shen reporter or not, Shen Quan and other cadres don't care.

There are thousands of singles up and down the independent group, let alone falling in love, and they haven't even touched the girl's hand.

In addition, there are basically no women in the regiment, and after a long time, the soldiers look at the sows raised by the old king of the cooking class, and they are a little beautiful.

Not to mention that the reporter Shen in front of them is still a handsome person who is educated and cultured.

The head of the regiment, Kong Jie, also said: "This war and finding a wife are the same thing, those who have the ability to eat meat, and those who are not able to even drink soup can't drink." met a beautiful mother-in-law, if you are slow, it is someone else's, as for feelings, what is feelings? After being together for a long time and cultivating it, it is called affection. ”

That's it, since it's a good woman, according to the meaning of the soldiers, just stuff it to the regiment commander first.

……

Just as he was thinking about it, the scouts sent out by Shen Quan to reconnoiter in advance returned, and reported: "Report to the battalion commander, the figure of the devil was found a kilometer away, and it was coming in our direction." ”

"What's going on?" Shen Quan asked.

"A Japanese transport squadron, about 200 devils, did not see the puppet army, there are more than a dozen mule and horse carts, followed by two trucks, in terms of heavy weapons, there are two heavy machine guns at the dew point."

Shen Quan nodded and said with a smile: "The intelligence is very accurate, the situation of the Japanese convoy is basically not much different, and this battle is estimated to be won smoothly." ”

As he spoke, Shen Quan ordered the signal soldier lying beside him: "Inform the rest of the way, after leaving observation posts at the front of the hillside on both sides, the other teams will retreat to the ambush site according to the plan." ”

"Yes!"

After giving the order, turning his head, Shen Quan said to Shen Wenyue: "Reporter Shen, let's also retreat!" ”

Seeing that the Japanese army was coming, why did they evacuate from the hiding place at the front of the hillside, Shen Wenyue didn't understand it for a while, and with the question in her heart, she followed behind Shen Quan and retreated all the way to a hundred meters behind the left rear of the front ambush site.

It wasn't until the withdrawn troops were lurking again that Shen Quan explained to Shen Wenyue on the side with a smile:

"Ambush warfare is not as simple as imagined, like ambushing troops on both sides of the road, waiting for the devil to come, and then suddenly starting to fight, this is the roughest way to fight."

"In the words of our regiment leader, this is called stupid play."

"The Japanese are not stupid, and they have long studied the corresponding means for this possible ambush."

"When the Japanese troops are advancing along the roads and mountain roads, on the one hand, they will send scouts in advance to reconnoiter on both sides where there may be ambushes, and on the other hand, they will also send the vanguard troops as bait for temptation."

"Not only that, but when passing through some places that may be ambushed, the Japanese will also conduct fire reconnaissance, using machine guns, grenadier shells to test fire on the hillsides on both sides of the road."

"At this time, if we arrange the main forces on both sides of the mountain road, it is easy to be detected in advance by the reconnaissance fire of the Japanese army, and it will cause unnecessary casualties.

"Therefore, we need to withdraw the forward troops that are easy for the devils to detect with firepower first, and only leave a small number of observation posts."

"After deceiving the devil's eyeline, the main ambush force that has withdrawn will re-lurk at the ambush site on both sides of the road, waiting for the devil to step into the ambush circle."

Shen Wenyue suddenly realized this, and then asked: "Battalion Commander Shen, then why didn't we prepare so much at the beginning, but after detecting the arrival of the devil, we temporarily retreated the front-line combat troops?" ”

Shen Quan said: "This is the control of the details, our regiment commander often says, say ten times, it is better to actually do it once, what the troops need is the correct command of the commander, but what is more needed is that the soldiers can complete the execution of the commander's orders." ”

"Lurk on both sides of the mountain road in advance, because this is the specific location where the soldiers will launch an ambush for a while, you need to understand and familiarize yourself with it in advance, and ensure that your camouflage will not be detected by the Japanese troops on the mountain road, and then slowly retreat."

"In this way, after the observation post has relayed the order to infiltrate the ambush site, the fighters will be able to re-lurk in their previous positions with more ease and ease."

It turns out that a seemingly simple ambush war, and so much sophistication.

Shen Wenyue was more and more surprised the more she listened, and then raised the miniature camera that had been hanging on her chest and said, "Can you take some more photos?" Such an ambush deployment is simply too subtle. ”

Shen Quan said: "Of course you can, it will take a while for the devil to get here!" It's just that after the Japanese army appears, Reporter Shen, you can't take pictures at will, it will be easy to expose our location. ”

"Good!" Shen Wenyue responded, and then with the help of the camera in her hand, she took a few photos of the hidden situation of the soldiers and the surrounding terrain, and said with a smile:

"Battalion Commander Shen, I guess that you sent scouts out to reconnoiter the situation of the Japanese army in advance, so as to adjust the deployment of the ambush according to the specific firepower configuration and number of troops of the Japanese army, so as to cope with the change in the situation, right?"

"Clever!" Shen Quan gave a thumbs up, "If the situation of the Japanese army exceeds the intelligence estimate I get, then I can only lead the troops to withdraw in advance." ”

"If everything is normal, I will continue to deploy troops in accordance with the method of encirclement and ambush warfare."

After that, Shen Quan explained: "Reporter Shen, it was originally a very dangerous thing for you to follow us to the front line, but since you have to follow, I have nothing to say."

It's just that the battle will start for a while, and I'm afraid I don't have the energy to take care of you.

You are hiding in this big rear, don't get close to the battlefield, otherwise something happens to you, and I won't be able to explain it to our regiment commander. ”

Explain to Captain Kong?

Shen Wenyue didn't react a little.

Shen Quan didn't say much more, the business was important, he left Shen Wenyue, left a soldier as a guard, and then arranged for the battle......
