Chapter 837 Anticipating the enemy's opportunities (1)
Outside the farmhouse, there was a man telling others about his combat plan.
That person spoke very carefully, and the others listened very seriously.
The person who talked about it was naturally Shang Zhen, and the person who listened to it was of course the soldiers, whether they were from the Northeast Army or the Northwest Army.
This is a matter of war, life and death! The Japanese have one head on both shoulders, and the Chinese are no different. Anyone will die if they are shot!
In terms of combat quality, the Japanese army will only be stronger than the Chinese army on the overall level.
So what is the premise for the Chinese army to win a battle? First, calculate, think of all possibilities, and plot against the Japanese devils to death. Second, dare not fight to the death.
Shang Zhen's own soldiers absolutely trusted Shang Zhen's combat plan.
The soldiers of the Northwest Army also expressed that it was feasible. They also wanted to add something to Shang Zhen's combat plan. But just when they pointed out some mistakes, Shang Zhen explained that they found that Shang Zhen had already considered it.
For this reason, Shang Zhen also emphasized that there is no perfect plan. Sometimes, for one end, one must abandon the other end. Zhao Fengwu, the platoon leader of the Northwest Army, agreed with this.
The telephone line was cut off, and the soldiers who were ambushing each other hidden according to the terrain they found in advance. There were only two directions they observed according to the division of labor, one was in the direction of Taiping Town on the east and the other was in the direction of Liuji Town on the west.
Now Shang Zhen and his team are only six or seven miles away from Liuji Town, and they are naturally farther from Taiping Town.
But they couldn't figure out which Japanese army would send out the soldiers who investigated the line first, or send people at both ends, so Shang Zhen and others naturally took the direction of Liuji Town as the main combat direction.
Because they bypassed from the west of Liuji Town, their ferry crossing the Huai River also stopped at the west of Liuji Town. After the battle was over, they needed to return the same route.
Behind a ridge, two Northwest Army soldiers were lying on their ridges, holding rifles in their hands but did not get bombed into the chamber.
The two of them are also veterans, of course, they are veterans of the Fifty-ninth Army.
In order to steal the Japanese army's weapons, Shang shook out more than 30 people, and the Northwest Army company issued another platoon and went to guard the ferry. There were still about fifty people.
According to Shang Zhen's combat plan, if there are not many Japanese soldiers coming to check the telephone line, they must fire less.
"Shuyuan, do you think that boy is right?" The soldier named Chang Wei lies there asked his companion, whose companion was Ding Shuyuan.
"Who knows, what's the use of listening to the scale? War-" Ding Shuyuan shook his head.
Ding Shuyuan didn't finish his words, but Chang Wei understood it. Ding Shuyuan's meaning was undoubtedly that just calculating in war was not enough. Sometimes he had to adapt to the situation, because the enemy situation on the battlefield sometimes changed rapidly, and Shang Zhen did not mention this when he talked about the combat plan!
Chang Wei stopped talking, and the two of them quietly observed the movements in the west.
More than ten minutes later, Chang Wei whispered: "Here you come."
"Where?" Ding Shuyuan asked with a refreshed spirit.
"Where are you in the sky in front of you? You see, it's a carriage?" Chang Wei said.
"A carriage? That little Japanese still has to come with him, and there are ten or eight?" Ding Shuyuan also saw the shadow of the Japanese army, but he still couldn't see the Qing Dynasty because it was too far away.
"If there were ten or eight, it would be no fun." Chang Wei murmured in a low voice, and he couldn't help but clench the rifle in his hand, but then he let go.
The two of them were still a little far from the battle set by Shang Zhen, which was more than 100 meters away. There were still ambush soldiers elsewhere in front of them. If they really fought, they wouldn't be able to help.
Their gun was too broken, so veterans like them knew that no matter how accurate the gun was, it was useless. The rifle of the gun was worn out, and the bullet would not be launched at all!
And due to the terrain, there is no such a pleasant person in front of them, so at this time the two of them are more like cold-eyed bystanders of this battle.
The two of them continued to observe without saying a word. After a while, the two of them whispered almost at the same time: "That kid really guessed!"
They can now see clearly the Japanese army on the carriage. The number of people is really similar to what Shang Zhen expected. Including the total number of people driving the carriage is only four!
When talking about the battle plan before, Shang Zhen’s original words were the main idea that the Japanese occupied the place shortly after they were there, and we didn’t hear any major battles on the north bank. The Gui army had already hiding, so the Japanese should be arrogant and tight, so it is estimated that there will not be a few people coming to Chagen’s phone line.
Seeing that Shang Zhen had guessed, Chang Wei and Ding Shuyuan turned their heads slightly and began to observe the development of the situation.
They saw that at this time, another chariot began to slowly leave just in front of the Japanese chariot.
Although it was a bit difficult to see the nose and eyes of the carriage clearly from Chang Wei and the others, they knew that there were two people in the carriage, and the one holding the whip was Shang Zhen, and the one sitting behind him was a half-old man. They heard that Shang Zhen called the half-old man Shi Xiaowan when he was assigning the combat mission.
When Shang Zhen was assembling a combat mission, Chang Wei and Ding Shuyuan felt surprised, because of Shi Xiaowan.
What they were surprised about was not only because Shi Xiaowan was young, but because the contrast between the age of Shi Xiaowan according to Shang Zhen's combat requirements and the requirements of the tasks they were about to be carried out was too great.
Shang Zhen planned to walk in front of the Japanese carriage with Shi Xiaowan as ordinary people. When the Japanese army who were checking the line found that the telephone line fell from the telephone pole, their location was just overlapping with the Japanese army.
At this time, they were able to attack the Japanese army, and the soldiers lying in ambush not far away could also help them conduct auxiliary attacks on the Japanese army.
But once Shang Zhen and Nashi Xiaowan fought, they would fight at close range.
Although the Japanese devils are short, they have good food and clothing. They are generally stronger than the soldiers in the middle army. The strongest ones are like small ground tanks.
Even a veteran like Chang Weiding Shuyuan dared not say that he would win when he fought with the Japanese army alone. Then Shang Zhen now let a young man like Shi Xiaowan participate in melee battles or even hand-to-hand combat, which is too risky!
The reason why Shang Zhen had to do this is that he said that this was to reduce the Japanese army's vigilance.
It is undeniable that Shang Zhen made sense to do this.
When the Japanese army came out to investigate the line, if they saw two strong men sitting in the carriage in front, they would definitely be vigilant. If there was a young man on the carriage, the Japanese army's vigilance would be much lower.
However, although Shang Zhen's actions will certainly play a role in surprise, is it reliable to expect Shi Xiaowan to fight against the Japanese army like a young man? Not to mention whether Shi Xiaowan can kill the enemy, Shi Xiaowan will become a burden for Shang Zhen to fight against the Japanese army!
In Chang Wei and Ding Shuyuan's view, the battle plan designed by Shang Zhen was too cumbersome.
Why bother? If they were replaced by them, they would also snatch the telephone line, and then when the Japanese army that checked the line appeared, as long as there were no more than ten Japanese devils, everyone would kill the devils and rob them, and then they would be killed. Wouldn't it be a knot?
In this case, why do you have to earn a few guns from the Japanese devils first, and then run away, and wait until you want to grab the gun and find a chance!
