Kong Jie left the assault camp with the weapons and ammunition he had replaced with satisfaction. As soon as he left, the commander of the first assault company, Wei Dayong, came over in a hurry.
"Battal Commander, we have a clear picture of the enemy situation around the stronghold..."
"The nearest county town is thirty-eight miles away from us. There are more than 1,300 troops stationed there, but there are only more than 400 Japs, and the remaining 800 or so are puppet troops!"
"Without cars and horses, it would have taken three hours for the Japanese and puppet troops to march to Nanfeng Village in the city!"
"I also heard that the Japanese and puppet troops in the county are recruiting bandits from Nanfengzhai. The relationship between the two parties is very complicated. They will definitely not send troops to attack Nanfengzhai in the short term!"
"There are two medium-sized strongholds and four small strongholds around the village, all under the jurisdiction of the Japanese and puppet troops in the county. There are more than 1,200 troops stationed, but there are only more than 400 Japanese..."
"There are more than 2,500 Japanese and puppet troops. It is not too much to say too much, not too little to say that it is too little... If the development goes smoothly, independence alone will be able to wrap them up!" Huang Yu answered confidently.
Staring at Wei Dayong, he continued to ask: "How is their equipment? Do they have heavy weapons?"
"The small stronghold is equipped with a heavy machine gun and three or four grenade launchers..." Wei Dayong continued to introduce.
"The medium-sized stronghold is equipped with two mortars, two or three heavy machine guns, and six or seven grenade launchers!"
"The county is equipped with two infantry cannons, six mortars, and eight heavy machine guns... As for whether there are spare weapons in the county arsenal, it has not been found out yet!"
"The puppet troops are also equipped with heavy weapons, an artillery company equipped with six mortars, a heavy machine gun company equipped with six heavy machine guns, and a mountain artillery platoon equipped with two mountain cannons, all concentrated in the county town!"
Huang Yu analyzed calmly: "The assault battalion has less than 150 people in total... equipped with one mortar, one heavy machine gun, five Czech-made light machine guns, and one hundred Hanyang-made Mauser rifles.
...More than a dozen submachine guns and Mauser pistols!"
"In a head-on confrontation, we can't even take down the Japanese's small stronghold, and we will lose our troops and generals..."
"I decided that we will deal with the surrounding little devils according to the combat plan formulated by the regiment headquarters!"
"The newly formed artillery squad and heavy machine gun squad stayed behind at the mountain stronghold...all other troops were dispatched, and first blocked the two small strongholds closest to us..."
"Capture them within half a month and try to capture more puppet troops and bring them back..."
On the road six kilometers southeast of the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold, more than thirty Japanese and puppet troops marched slowly forward escorting three large vehicles.
The Japanese and puppet troops are very vigilant. They have received information about the activities of the Eighth Route Army in the territory. Except for the seven or eight Ergouzi who carry their rifles on their shoulders and drive...the remaining twenty or so Japanese and puppet troops all carry their rifles on their shoulders.
In their hands, they were scattered around the cart in a battle formation, with pairs of eyes scanning around, very vigilant...
On the barren slope more than 800 meters away from them, two platoons of soldiers from the assault battalion stood ready...
Some people were hiding behind raised rocks, while others were lying on the ground, covered with thatch, blending in with the surrounding environment... Even if the Japanese and puppet troops came close, they would not be able to find them.
"Battal Commander...the Japanese and puppet army's baggage convoy is coming..." Wei Dayong hunched over and ran to Huang Yu to report.
"Get ready to fight!" Huang Yu gave the order directly without saying any nonsense.
"The machine gunner is responsible for the little devils in the team...the sharpshooter kills the officers above the squad leader of the puppet army...the others are free to fire!"
When the baggage team entered the pocket formation, there was still a little more than four kilometers away from Xiaowangzhuang...
In case of an attack, the garrison at the stronghold can kill them in half an hour...
Captain Cao, the Japanese who participated in the escort, took it for granted that the danger to the baggage train had been lifted.
Although most of the soldiers were still scattered around the convoy with guns on guard, their vigilance was gone...
This is also a very important reason why Huang Yu chose the ambush battlefield around the gun tower...
If the artillery tower really sends people to reinforce the baggage train, Huang Yu doesn't mind fighting another battle and eating them all!
In order to increase the hit rate, Huang Yu also replaced the pistol with an 80% new Mauser rifle...
Slightly adjust the shooting angle of the rifle, and slowly put the puppet platoon leader in the middle of the team into the crosshairs!
Their true identities are little devils.
In order to integrate with the puppet army and command them better... and to prevent themselves from being too special and becoming a target for the enemy, these devils, like ordinary puppet soldiers, all wear ordinary puppet army uniforms...
The only difference is the equipment...
The Japanese disdain the puppet army's equipment, which is made in Hanyang, but they are still stubborn about the equipment being manufactured in Sanba...
In order to show their status as officers, even if they were just ordinary soldiers before joining the puppet army, they still tried every means to equip themselves with a box gun.
Even if he changed into a puppet army uniform, Huang Yu still found the puppet platoon leader in the team at a glance.
"Ba..."
The trigger was pulled decisively, and the moment the gunshot rang out, the Japanese-born puppet platoon leader fell to the ground...
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
The light machine guns and rifles on the side joined the battle one after another...
The dense rain of bullets instantly enveloped more than thirty Japanese and puppet troops.
There were less than ten Japs, and they were beaten into pieces in an instant without even seeing where their opponents were hiding...
The squad leaders scattered among the puppet troops were shot at the same time, and five or six ordinary puppet troops fell to the ground together.
Their reaction after being attacked was so exaggerated that they squatted on the ground and raised their guns to fight back!
In order to reduce the casualties of the ambush troops, the troops participating in the assault battalion had to take a preemptive strike and nip in the bud any hidden dangers that might threaten their safety.
"The platoon leader is dead..." A cry of surprise rang out among the chaotic puppet troops.
"The squad leader is also dead...what should we do next?" another puppet soldier shouted.
"The Japanese are all dead too... How about we surrender!" A frightened puppet soldier suggested in a low voice!
"You can't surrender... You can't surrender even if you die... Otherwise the other brothers in the company will be shot by the Japanese!" A puppet soldier with a sinister face shouted, raising his rifle to fight back...
"Pa bang bang..."
Three gunshots rang out on the hillside at the same time. The puppet soldier who had just shouted to fight to the end was hit by three bullets. One bullet hit his head, one bullet hit the back of the heart, and one bullet hit his butt. He fell to the ground and stopped moving.
.
The other puppet soldiers who wanted to fight back were instantly frightened, and immediately retracted their heads, not daring to move, for fear that the Eighth Route Army would target them next.
"Brothers...the Japanese are dead, the platoon leader is dead, and the squad leader is dead...no one knows about our surrender...I don't want to die yet. Anyone who wants to live should throw away their weapons with me...otherwise they will be detained even if they die."
Put on a traitor hat!" a puppet soldier suddenly shouted, throwing his weapon on the ground.
"I surrender too... I don't want to be a traitor all my life..." Another puppet soldier immediately supported and threw away his weapon...
