Chapter 497 Knocking off an arm of Duer Tuan (first update)
The squadron leader shook his head and replied: "This is not a problem we should consider!"
"As usual, what we should do now is to hold the stronghold and drag the attacking troops sent by the Duer Regiment outside the stronghold. After the rapid troops sent by the county are in place, they will attack from both inside and outside and annihilate all enemies!"
After saying that, he ordered the subordinates on the side: "All troops in the stronghold must enter the position and prepare for battle. The Eighth Route Army must not be allowed to approach our stronghold!"
"The artillery fires illumination bombs continuously to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks..."
"Fire two rounds of artillery shells five hundred meters away... There seems to be a large number of Eighth Route Army figures there. I want to confirm whether it is true, so that I can determine whether the opponent is real or not, and report the battle situation to the county seat!"
"Boom boom boom..."
An explosion soon sounded outside the stronghold, with fire flying...
The squadron leader raised his binoculars and saw two "Eighth Route Army corpses..." lying next to the impact point. There were also many Eighth Route Army soldiers running around nearby, or lying on the ground to avoid artillery fire...
Little did he know that the "bodies" he saw were all fake.
The Third Company of the Du Er Regiment blocked Lizhuang wearing civilian clothes, leaving their own military uniforms empty.
Put it on the scarecrow, stick it on the ground, and then dispatch two squads to walk back and forth among the scarecrow, and a multi-company force appears...
After seeing these scarecrow corpses, the squadron leader became more certain that the opponent had a battalion. He put down his binoculars and ran back to the headquarters to report the situation.
At the Japanese garrison headquarters in Shunping County, Major Harada was awakened by his subordinates from his sleep. He was still in a state of confusion when he walked into the headquarters.
When I heard that the Pingyang Town stronghold was under attack, I felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on my whole body, and I suddenly woke up...
As if he was a different person, he walked quickly to the map and asked: "How many enemies are attacking them, where are they from, and what are their equipment like?"
"First notify the rapid troops to prepare for attack...be ready to reinforce the battlefield at any time..."
After arranging for a staff officer to rush out and give the order, the adjutant reported with a serious face: "The Pingyang stronghold was attacked by a main battalion of the Duer Regiment, and no heavy weapons were found yet..."
"The Eighth Route Army is digging a bunker two hundred meters outside the stronghold, and has not launched a general offensive yet!"
"The stronghold means that we immediately send reinforcements, attack from both inside and outside, and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army attacking the Pingyang stronghold!"
Major Harada calmly shook his head: "We must not send troops hastily before we understand the situation, otherwise we will suffer big losses!"
After saying that, he stared at the map and analyzed: "Don't you think this attack came a bit too suddenly?"
"Intelligence shows that after the Duer Brigade was downsized into the Duer Regiment, not only the morale was low, but the combat effectiveness was also greatly reduced!"
"At this time, it was difficult for them to even protect themselves, but now they are sending troops deep into our occupied areas and taking the initiative... Isn't this asking for death!"
"I have been dealing with the Duer Brigade for almost two years and I am very familiar with this army..."
"Under normal circumstances, they would definitely not do such stupid things!"
The adjutant suddenly interjected: "Sir, do you think this has anything to do with their newly appointed regimental commander?"
"This regiment leader has no experience in plain warfare. He uses his experience in mountain warfare to direct the Duer Regiment to take the initiative to disrupt our new round of mopping up plans!"
"Buy time for the Duer Regiment to regain its strength!"
The questions in Major Harada's mind were instantly solved, and he asked with a thoughtful look on his face: "It's really possible!"
"There are very few roads that can be used by cars in mountainous areas. As long as they send a small force to dig out the road, the reinforcements will have to move forward on their legs. The time spent on the march will be greatly increased, and their main force will have a lot of time.
Attack the stronghold..."
"If this new regiment leader plans to use this kind of fighting method on the plains, he would be totally wrong..."
"Sir..." The captain who was responsible for collecting intelligence suddenly ran over.
"I just received the news that the First Battalion of the Duer Regiment is suddenly deserted..."
"When did this happen?" Major Harada asked anxiously.
The captain immediately replied: "I just received the news... plus the time it took for the information to be delivered on the road, the incident should have happened after dark!"
"Have the other two battalions of the Duer Regiment been mobilized?" Major Harada continued to ask.
The captain shook his head: "The second and third battalions and the troops directly under their regiment headquarters are all standing still... Our people also saw the chief of staff and the new regiment commander of the second regiment..."
"Then it becomes clear that the Pingyang stronghold was attacked!" Major Harada said bluntly.
"The newly appointed leader of the Duer Regiment really wants to copy the mountain fighting style to attack the Pingyang stronghold..."
"Order: The rapid troops will set off immediately and must reach the Pingyang stronghold within an hour...joint forces inside and outside the stronghold to attack all the Eighth Route Army there..."
"There are only three main battalions left in the Duer Regiment, and the first battalion has the strongest combat effectiveness!"
"If this first battalion is eaten, the combat effectiveness of the Du Er Regiment will be reduced by at least 40%, which is equivalent to cutting off one of their arms. The combat pressure of mopping them up in the future will definitely be much less!"
On the official road about two kilometers away from the pocket formation, several soldiers from the special operations team were placing iron nails on the road...
The iron nails were driven through the wooden boards, placed upside down on the road, and then covered with a layer of loose soil...
As long as the little Japanese car hits it, the tire will definitely burst on the spot...
It's half past one in the morning... It's been more than half an hour since the second company launched the attack. As long as the little devils in the county send troops in time, the reinforcements should have arrived here...
But there was no movement on the road. Could it be that the Japanese troops in the city knew this was a ruse and did not plan to send troops...
Just as Duan Peng was waiting more and more anxiously, two beams of car lights suddenly appeared at the end of the road...
"Captain...Japanese reinforcements are coming..." a squad leader under his command said nervously.
This is also the first time that a special force has fought on the plains!
In the past, when fighting in mountainous areas, after completing the mission, you could just find a place to hide and evacuate from the battlefield.
There was a flat wasteland in front of him, and there was not even a small mound of soil to hide in.
Although the captain has deployed a large number of response troops around, there are too many Japs, the firepower is too strong, and they are also equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars. If they are locked out of the range of the Japs' firepower while evacuating, no matter how powerful the special forces team members are, they will not be able to survive.
Can't go down.
"Don't be nervous!" Duan Peng could see their concerns at a glance and comforted them in a low voice.
"As long as everyone acts according to the plan... and brings out all our usual training levels, we will definitely be able to complete the mission and escape unscathed..."
"The Japanese are coming...the sniper team, the fire team...get ready for battle immediately..."
There were a total of twenty vehicles, all loaded with Japanese soldiers, weapons and ammunition, and two of the vehicles also towed infantry artillery behind them. They stretched for nearly two hundred meters and drove towards them in a mighty manner...
