Chapter 9: Attack on the Town Now Surprise 2
Near noon, Zhang Yun and his entourage came to the vicinity of Yujiakou Town, where more than 50 people were hidden in the forest less than 2 kilometers away from the town.
More than 30 kilometers of mountain roads, the group walked all morning, the veterans were still looking as usual, but the recruits were already a little tired. Considering that the recruits were not in a good state and could not rush into battle for the time being, Zhang Yun asked the three squad leaders to arrange for the soldiers to rest and have lunch, too close to the town to make a fire, fortunately, everyone brought enough kettles and dry food, but it did not affect anything.
After a simple meal, Zhang Yun took the deputy platoon commander Liu Changqing and several veterans to the town to conduct a reconnaissance under the guidance of the scout Lao Zhang.
Because they didn't have binoculars, they were close to the town. The town was very peaceful, but there was a cordon made of sandbags in front of the street, where three or four soldiers smoked and played cards, and none of them looked at the situation outside.
A few peasant-looking people passed by, and they even had to pay money in the baskets in front of them, and these bandits actually collected the door fee directly at the gate of the town.
What surprised Zhang Yun was that a Czech-style machine gun was placed on the guard position, and among the bandits playing cards, there was a soldier wearing the military uniform of the Northeast Army, and several other people were wearing ordinary people's clothes, and the back of the gun was crooked, looking like bandits.
"It seems that there are defeated soldiers of the Northeast Army in the town," Liu Changqing also recognized the military uniforms of the Northeast Army next to him, the old Red Army had fought with the Northeast Army on the Long March, and they had always been envious of the equipment of the Northeast Army. As for the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, it can only be hehe.
"Hmm", Zhang Yun nodded slightly, did not answer, and then continued to look deeper into the town. I saw that some bandit-like people walked around the town from time to time, and occasionally people wearing the uniforms of the Northeast Army walked around, but all of them did not look vigilant. Near noon, it should have been a very lively time in the town, but there were few ordinary people on the street, and it was estimated that they had either fled or hid at home, and no one dared to walk around on the street, which showed that these bandits were very harmful.
The town is not big, not far from the entrance of the street, at the entrance of the most luxurious courtyard in the center of the town, there are a few soldiers standing guard, it is estimated that it is the headquarters of the bandits, and the leader of the bandits, Liu Sandao, should be there. There is a courtyard next to it, where bandits come in and out, and it is estimated that it is a barracks.
Seeing such a situation, Zhang Yun already had a plan in his heart, he patted the shoulder of the deputy platoon commander and Lao Zhang, and everyone cautiously retreated, making a detour to join the large army.
When it came to the rest point, Zhang Yun saw that several soldiers were on guard, and the other soldiers had also finished eating and were maintaining their guns, all of them looking ready to go. Zhang Yun nodded, and then summoned the deputy platoon leader, several squad leaders and Lao Zhang to have a meeting.
Zhang Yun used a bayonet to draw a simple map on the ground, marking the guard position, barracks, and headquarters one by one, and Liu Changqing, the deputy platoon commander, also introduced the situation in the town to the three squad leaders. Seeing that the enemy's vigilance was so relaxed, everyone couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts.
"Changqing, you take two good marksmanship, set up a sniper position in the position we just now, specifically to fight the bandit leaders, don't let them organize", Zhang Yun ordered: "Lao Zhang, in a while, you will take three veterans with pistols and bayonets, pretend to be villagers, touch down the guard position, and try not to move the gun."
"The others advanced covertly first, and when Lao Zhang and them succeeded, the first squad leader immediately led people to attack the bandit headquarters, and the second and third squads rushed directly to the gate of the barracks and sealed the enemy barracks."
"The machine gun team followed the squad leader and cooperated with the attack on the enemy's headquarters. Second squad leader, I remember that you will use the Czech style, and for a while you will hold the Czech style of the guard position and cooperate with you to seal the enemy barracks. Be careful, since the enemy has set up machine guns on the alert position, the barracks and headquarters may not be absent, so don't be set on fire by the enemy. We have a lot of grenades, let's not be stingy in this battle, first greet the enemy's headquarters and barracks, and then rush in to disarm. All enemies who refuse to disarm will be killed. ”
"The core of this battle, the first is whether Lao Zhang can touch the enemy's position, and the second is whether it is fast enough. As long as we are fast enough and don't let the enemy organize, then we can control the casualties well. Deputy platoon commander, you see if there is anything to add. Zhang Yun asked after the detailed deployment.
"The platoon commander has no problem deploying, but I suggest that two people in the sniper position are enough, I will go to Lao Zhangna first, and after touching the position, I will attack the enemy's headquarters, the recruits may not be used to indoor melee, so I will take the lead in entering." Liu Changqing is not a person waiting in the back, he was born in the Red Army, and he is obviously more accustomed to the role of assault.
"Okay, action!" Zhang Yun let out a low snort, and the three squad leaders and Lao Zhang immediately went down to organize the personnel.
After a while, dozens of fighters understood their mission, and three squads slowly lurked in three directions towards the entrance of the town. Deputy platoon commander Liu Changqing and Lao Zhang and other four soldiers changed the clothes of the common people, pretended to pay the entrance fee, and slowly walked to the guard position with a cower, still holding a few fiat currencies in their hands. Some of the bandits who were smoking and playing cards looked at them a few times, and then continued to immerse themselves in the game, not thinking that death was right in front of them.
Zhang Yun watched from behind, his heart fluttered, after all, Lao Zhang's actions were directly related to the layout below, if the gunfire rang out in the guard position, they could only forcibly attack the town. Although Zhang Yun believed that with the combat effectiveness of these bandits, they would not be the opponents of his recruit platoon, but if the casualties were too great, the gains would really outweigh the losses.
Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of the old Red Army was still guaranteed, and the Red Army used similar tactics many times during the Long March, and everyone was considered "skilled". I saw that the figure flickered, and the bandits who were smoking and playing cards were hugged by Lao Zhang and them, and then the bayonet stabbed into the enemy's chest or neck, and the enemy had already lay down before he could react, and soon Lao Zhang made a successful gesture.
At this time, Zhang Yun's heart was already determined, and the three squad leaders also discovered Lao Zhang's movements, and then more than 50 soldiers from the three squads rushed to the town with their guns in their hands, and the machine gun team followed behind with a "crooked" machine gun.
At this time, there were not many people on the street, and when the soldiers had rushed into the town and were almost at the gate of the bandit headquarters, the bandits on the street reacted. "What are you doing, what are you doing", the bandits on the street took their guns from their backs and prepared to attack, but it was obviously too late. Only a few gunshots were heard, and two people were directly killed in the sniper position behind, and then the rifles in the hands of the soldiers also sounded "dong dong", and several holes popped out of the remaining bandits on the street and at the entrance of the headquarters, and they fell directly without sound.
The soldiers did not dare to delay, and Liu Changqing, the deputy platoon commander, took the lead and rushed directly to the door of the bandit headquarters, and threw the grenade in his hand first, then the second and third, and Lao Zhang also threw in two grenades. The machine gun team was lying directly at the door of the headquarters with a crooked handle, and had already fired inside.
At this time, the bandits heard the sound of gunfire on the street outside, and the bandit leader Liu Sandao pulled out a pistol and wanted to go out with seven or eight people to reinforce, but he didn't expect that a few grenades were thrown in, and then there was a machine gun sound in front of the gate.
The bandits at the headquarters were unlucky, first there were a few loud noises of "boom", "boom", "boom", and the domestic wooden-handled grenades and the devil's 97-style grenades were mixed, and the bandits screamed miserably, and Liu Sandao and several bandits were directly hit by more than a dozen shrapnel, and they were no longer alive. Then the machine guns "Da Da Da" and "Da Da Da" were fired in rhythmically, and a few bandits who were lucky enough to be injured were shot one after another, and they were lying on the ground with more air out and less air intake.
At this time, Liu Changqing and more than a dozen soldiers rushed in and went directly from house to house to search for the remnants of the enemy.
The barracks went even better, after all, the bandits like to gather their weapons together when they sleep. As a result, they were first bombarded by grenades one after another, and then they were fired twice by Czech machine guns and more than 30 rifles, except for a few bandits who had time to surrender, most of the bandits were directly killed and injured.
