Just as Kong Jie and the monk were moving to the second sniper site, the sudden sound of gunfire and the fallen Japanese in the stronghold broke the original silence in the stronghold.
The expressions of the alert Japanese and puppet sentries changed. Many Japanese and puppet soldiers who had fallen asleep were also awakened. They thought that the stronghold was being raided. As the alarm sounded loudly in the stronghold, they all got up in panic from their sleep.
, put on their clothes and gather outside the building or tower.
"Hey, the stronghold seems to be lively."
After arriving at the second sniping point, the monk crawled behind the slope and looked at the scattered strongholds. The monk said with a smile.
"How was your marksmanship just now?" Kong Jie asked.
"Absolutely awesome!" The monk had to admit and gave a thumbs up.
Kong Jie smiled, then lay on one side of the slope and tightened his clothes slightly.
Although it is already mid-April, the weather in northwest Shanxi is still a bit cold after nightfall.
"Okay, monk, stop looking around. Let's get some sleep before we talk."
Kong Jie said and quickly fell asleep.
The monk on the side glanced at his group leader, who seemed to be snoring slightly.
The monk had to admire him in his heart. The regiment leader was really big-hearted. He was still outside the Japanese stronghold and had just killed a Japanese in the Japanese stronghold. So he was not afraid of the little Japanese coming out to hunt him down?
Kong Jie, who was sleeping soundly, naturally would not give the monk an answer.
The monk secretly observed the stronghold in vigilance. Although the sirens were blaring loudly in the stronghold and the Japanese and puppet troops seemed to have gathered, they were more on the defensive and no Japanese and puppet troops went out to investigate.
As for the gunfire that rang out before, because it came suddenly, the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the stronghold were not sure of the specific direction, so they did not fight back.
In this way, it took almost half an hour, and the originally noisy stronghold returned to calm. There were no Japs from the beginning to the end, and the puppet troops left the stronghold.
When Kong Jie woke up with a yawn, the monk was still looking at the stronghold with his eyes wide open.
Kong Jile said: "Monk, you are still watching. Don't worry. In the middle of the night, the Japanese and puppet soldiers are more afraid of death than anyone else. They don't know the situation outside. They will never dare to leave the stronghold easily for fear of being ambushed by us." As he spoke, Kong Jie picked up the Type 44 rifle again.
"Wake up, it's time to work."
Commander Kong slowly crawled to the top of the gentle slope, and then pointed the muzzle of his gun in the direction of the Japanese and puppet army stronghold.
This time, Commander Kong's crosshair was placed on the searchlight that was swinging back and forth in the stronghold. After aiming the gun for a moment, there was only a bang of a gunshot. The calm of the night was broken again, and the searchlight on the top of the turret shattered with a sound.
, the scattered lampshade fragments crashed down, and the silent stronghold became lively again.
The only light in the Japanese stronghold went out and plunged into darkness.
"Baga!"
In the stronghold, Captain Guizi, the highest commander of the Japanese garrison in charge of guarding, woke up from his sleep and jumped to his feet in anger and cursed.
The puppet company commander, who was also sleepy-eyed, approached the Japanese squadron leader and said, "Taijun, maybe he is a guerrilla from Tubal Road, here to harass the stronghold."
"But during this period, many teams of the Eighth Route Army have broken through the imperial army's mopping up troops. They may also be the main force of the Eighth Route Army and want to take the opportunity to lure us outside the stronghold."
"So, Taijun, not only can we not leave our stronghold rashly, we must also be prepared to be attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army at any time."
The Japanese squadron leader thought for a moment and nodded.
During this period, many strongholds in the rear area were taken out by the Eighth Route Army. Now people in every stronghold are in panic, fearing that they will be attacked by the Eighth Route Army.
This Japanese squadron leader is no exception. It's still late at night, and it's dark outside. Who knows how many Tubalu are ambushing them?
In this way, a gunshot woke up the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire stronghold. In the end, the Japanese and puppet troops did not find even half of the enemy. The enemy seemed to just hit the gunshot, and nothing happened after that.
The monk hiding behind a gentle slope three to four hundred meters away from the stronghold seemed to understand.
"Captain, is this the enemy-wearying tactic you often call, right?"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Oh, do you understand? Tell me."
"Hey!" the monk responded and explained: "It's dark now and the situation outside is unclear. The Japanese and puppet soldiers dare not leave the stronghold rashly. Let's shoot him every once in a while. The little Japanese is always on tenterhooks.
, I can't even sleep well. After a whole night of tossing, or even a day or two, how can the Japanese and puppet soldiers in this stronghold have dark circles under their eyes?"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Yes, I really understand it."
"It's midnight, it's cold outside, and we can't sleep well. How can he sleep well?"
"This time, our twenty sniper teams are dispersed to conduct night raids and harassment missions. Each sniper team is responsible for one stronghold. Twenty sniper teams can cover the twenty strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops, covering a radius of more than ten kilometers."<
/p>
"As for our goals, one is to tire out the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold."
"The other one is to frighten the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold and let them understand that there may be an ambush from us outside the stronghold at any time."
"In order to scare the Japanese, the puppet troops would only dare to stay in the artillery tower and not dare to leave for a moment."
"This will make it easier for us to cooperate with the main force in attacking strongholds. In addition, if the strongholds in the rear are unstable, the Japanese mopping up troops will certainly be distracted, which can further reduce the pressure on our troops to counter-mopping up."
The monk who understood thoroughly smiled and said: "Captain, then you can go to sleep. I will shoot you every half an hour, and I will definitely keep the little devil awake all night."
Kong Jie said: "The night is still long! We are little devils, we can't endure it ourselves. In this way, monk, you are responsible for the first half of the night, and I am responsible for the second half of the night.
In addition, the effect of just shooting may not be good. Use two shots at a time and use the 50 small artillery we brought to prevent the Japanese from concluding that we are here to harass and not be fooled."
"Yes!" the monk replied.
In this way, Kong Jie and Monk changed their posts and took turns harassing the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold.
Sometimes he fired two shots, sometimes he fired two shots, and sometimes the monk would make a killing cry outside the stronghold.
The night passed quickly. Kong Jie slept for the first half of the night, and the monk slept for the second half of the night. The two of them were in good spirits, but they suffered a lot from the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold. They were tortured all night and they didn't get a good night's sleep.
, one by one, braving exhaustion to welcome the dawn of the next day.
After dawn, perhaps because the light brought peace to people's hearts, the vigilance of the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold relaxed a lot.
Bang——
The gunfire that once again broke the silence sounded the alarm for the Japanese and puppet troops. After dawn, with a wide field of vision, Kong Jie, who was hiding a few hundred meters away and fired, directly shot down a Japanese in the turret...
