Chapter 496 Huang Yu: Don't worry, I have a secret weapon
In order to completely control the enemy-occupied areas and prevent the Eighth Route Army from infiltrating, the Japanese army deployed spies in every village.
After discovering the enemy's situation, he relied on his rapid maneuverability to quickly send troops to the battlefield to eliminate the opponent.
Li Zhuang also had an informant arranged by the Japanese. As soon as a battalion of soldiers entered the village, this informant wanted to get the news out.
But the Third Company had already laid a dragnet around the village.
The soldiers wore civilian clothes and hid at all entrances and exits around the village to ensure that no one leaving the village could escape their eyes.
As soon as the spy came out of the village, he was surrounded by five soldiers.
"Commander of the Eighth Route Army... I am from the village. I have something to do when I go out. What are you doing?" The eyeliner obviously knew the mass discipline of the Eighth Route Army. Although he was pointed at the gun, there was no fear on his face. Instead, he showed a confident expression.
road.
"You went out to the village in the middle of the night to do errands. Are you lying?" the squad leader of the third company retorted mercilessly.
"My eldest brother in the village next door is sick, and no one is taking care of things at home. I'm going to help him!" The eyeliner started to panic a little, but it didn't show on his face. He pretended to be calm and said the reasons he had prepared in advance.
He doesn't leave the village early or late, but he goes out in the middle of the night and is sneaky. Even a fool knows there is something wrong with this person.
The squad leader had no intention of letting him go, and asked directly: "What is your eldest brother's name, which village he lives in, and what disease he has?"
"We in the Eighth Route Army have military doctors and we also need medicines... If your eldest brother is really sick, it is definitely better to go to us than to go to ordinary doctors!"
The eyeliner did not dare to look directly into the squad leader's eyes. The panic in his heart could no longer be suppressed. His first subconscious reaction was to leave this place of right and wrong and return to the village.
He was afraid of being questioned by the Eighth Route Army again, so he felt anxious and said everything he should and shouldn't say at once.
He immediately said: "I'm not going...I'm going back to the village now..."
After finally catching a traitor, the squad leader was not going to let him go so easily. He snorted coldly: "I want to go back to the village now, but it's too late!"
"If you don't answer the question I just asked, you don't want to go anywhere today!"
The two soldiers ordered: "You two send him to the company commander, and then convey the conversation we just had to the company commander... The company commander has many ways to deal with him..."
On the official road one kilometer southeast of the village, Huang Yu was pointing at the unobstructed view of the wasteland on the left!
In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from ambushing them, as soon as the autumn harvest was over, the Japanese asked the common people to cut off all the grain and straw within one kilometer on both sides of the road, so that they could have a panoramic view of the surrounding situation while standing on the road!
The effect is very good.
In the past, the Eighth Route Army could still fight guerrillas against the Japanese under the cover of straw.
Without these natural bunkers, the chances of the enemy being attacked by a sneak attack dropped directly to zero.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Liu..." Huang Yu ordered, pointing to the flat land on the right side of the road.
"Extend forty meters from the road to the left, dig fifty individual bunkers, cover them all with wooden boards, and then cover them with a layer of soil. Each bunker hides a bombardier and a submachine gunner..."
"After the battle starts, the bombardiers drop bombs, and the submachine gunners cover and fire, trying to kill more than half of the Japs in the first round of firepower!"
"Dig a trench 50 meters behind the individual soldier's bunker, and cover it with wooden boards and soil on top..."
"The rest of the ambush troops are all hiding inside, with light and heavy machine guns arranged crosswise, shooting the little devils on the road from a long distance..."
"The sharpshooters in the participating troops specialize in fighting Japanese machine gunners, gunners, and grenade launchers... The light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers equipped by the Japanese are unable to participate in the war..."
"I will issue a general attack order based on the battlefield situation!"
"As soon as the charge horn sounds, all the troops participating in the battle will rush onto the road for me and end the battle as quickly as possible!"
"This way we can seize a large amount of equipment and ammunition during the battle!"
"Otherwise, with the Japanese character who would rather die than surrender, he would definitely destroy all weapons before dying!"
"Special Agent Company, First Company, Special Forces Team, stay here to ambush the Japanese reinforcements..."
"The Second Company attacked the Anyang stronghold... After the ambush, the Third Company immediately rushed to the stronghold and joined forces with the Second Company to storm the stronghold and try to capture it within an hour!"
Liu Sen immediately raised his own question: "Battal Commander, as long as the ambush troops can evade the Japanese reconnaissance troops, there should be no problem in launching a sudden attack and eating the reinforcements."
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
"The terrain here is neither suitable for an ambush nor suitable for defense..."
"The Japanese reinforcements are unable to hide after being attacked. No matter how stubborn they are, they will inevitably be wiped out by us!"
"The only thing I'm worried about is that the Anyang stronghold cannot be taken down as scheduled!"
Huang Yu smiled and replied confidently: "Don't worry, Old Liu, I have a secret weapon to attack the Anyang stronghold!"
"One hour is still my conservative estimate... As long as the secret weapon is delivered to the battlefield in time, it can be taken down in half an hour!"
At the station of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, the two companies transferred from the 2nd and 3rd Battalions still went out to drill on time and had meals on time as usual...
The Japanese and puppet army spies who were watching nearby did not notice anything strange and continued to pass the news to Shunping County step by step. They did not realize that an Eighth Route Army had already touched under their noses.
At one o'clock in the morning, the entire Pingyang Town was shrouded in darkness. Except for a searchlight on the Japanese stronghold at the east end of the town, everything was dark and not even a shadow could be seen.
A company of troops quietly appeared in the wasteland to the east.
They all lie down on the ground, hold guns in both hands, and crawl towards the target bit by bit.
"Da da da……"
A string of machine gun fire suddenly sounded from the stronghold, instantly breaking the tranquility of the night.
At the same time, there was a sound of dogs barking in the town. The people who were awakened by the gunshots seemed to be having a discussion. They got up from the bed and began to move tables, push cabinets, and block the doors behind the rooms to prevent the consequences of the battle from affecting themselves.
"Bang bang..." Two gunshots rang out outside the stronghold. The searchlight on the top of the turret was instantly extinguished, and the battlefield was plunged into darkness. The Japanese troops on the turret immediately lost their target and could only shoot randomly at the approximate location.
Sanlian seized the opportunity and quickly reached a position two hundred meters outside the stronghold.
He picked up the shovel on his back and started digging for a bunker. The soldiers who didn't have a shovel used bayonets to dig...
Wing Center is located in a plain, and the land is fertile and soft, making it much easier to dig a bunker than in the mountains.
When the Japanese fired the first flare into the sky, each soldier built a small mound of earth that was big enough to cover his head before the battle.
The soldiers hid behind the mounds and continued to deepen and widen their bunkers.
Inside the stronghold, the Japanese squadron leader was holding a telescope to observe the battle situation.
The flares were fired one after another, and the squadron leader's frown became deeper and deeper.
"Captain, there is at least one company of the Eighth Route Army outside the stronghold..." the second lieutenant team leader on the side made a judgment.
The squadron leader shook his head: "No, it should be a battalion of troops!"
"There are so many troops...why haven't we received any news at all? Could it be that they can't fly!" the second lieutenant asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
