694 Epilogue: Heavy damage to the Japanese invaders (1)
With the arrival of reinforcements from Commander Lu and his party, the Japanese army placed most of its main forces outside the village on the defenses of the 28th Regiment.
Left to the monk, the space for Duan Peng and his party to move around immediately became much larger.
The Japanese set fire to the city, and the fire is still expanding, but it will not have a big impact on the monk and his party for the time being.
This village is not small, and most of the houses are made of earth and stone. In addition, there is no close connection between the residents and the residents, so the fire will not spread to the entire area for a while.
After the monk and Duan Peng tacitly formulated a plan to disguise themselves as Japanese troops, infiltrate and then take the opportunity to destroy the Japanese grenade positions.
Duan Peng and Monk personally led the team and selected 20 soldiers as the personnel for this operation.
The remaining troops were left under the command of Sun Chuanzhong, including the four 60 mortars, which were all left to Sun Chuanzhong and his party.
Before leaving, the monk explained to Sun Chuanzhong:
"Battle Commander Sun, the most difficult thing for us right now is to locate the specific coordinates of the Japanese grenade position.
After we disguise ourselves as a Japanese team, we will go all the way in and find the Japanese grenade positions.
But our manpower is limited, and there are little Japs on all sides. It may be difficult to completely suppress the Japs’ grenade positions, or even blow up the Japs’ grenades.
So I still need your cooperation!"
Sun Chuanzhong nodded without hesitation, "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"
The monk said: "After we penetrate into the Japanese camp and discover the specific location of the little Japanese's grenade, we will immediately start to steal and kill the Japanese grenade soldiers."
"But with the limited equipment we have, it is unrealistic to directly destroy the Japanese grenade positions.
After a wave of attacks, we will evacuate urgently. Before evacuating..."
The monk took out a flare gun from his backpack.
"This is a daily-use flare gun produced by our armory repair shop, three platoons long!"
"Arrived!" Sun Qingshan responded quickly.
The monk ordered: "After a wave of sneak attacks, we will evacuate urgently. You don't have to worry about the safety of the action team. After the signal gun is fired, immediately follow the vertical direction of the signal gun and beat the little devils with our mortars. Directly use
The firepower covers the target area and suppresses the enemy's grenade firepower."
"Yes!" Sun Qingshan responded.
After the monk finished speaking, he turned to look at Sun Chuanzhong.
"Battle Commander Sun, after the bombardment is over, you immediately lead our remaining troops to attack the Japanese army from the back and sides.
The third platoon leader will use grenades to assist the main attack, knocking out the enemy's exposed machine gun fire in advance.
As soon as the battle starts on our side, if Captain Lu hears the news, he will definitely lead the main attack of the 28th Regiment to attack the Japanese army in front and behind. I hope we can work together this time to destroy the Japanese and puppet troops near Lijia Village."
"Okay!" Sun Chuanzhong responded. He patted the monk on the shoulder, looked at Duan Peng who was looking excited and said:
"I will cooperate with your actions, Monk, Duan Peng. I know you two are skilled and brave people, but these guns don't have eyesight. You must be more careful when acting."
"Don't worry, we both have a long life!"
The monk smiled and joked, then led the soldiers into the alley, and quickly changed into more decent Japanese Showa 5 military uniforms.
Some bullet holes or blood stains on the military uniforms have also been treated, at least without looking carefully, there are no clues.
And wear the corresponding weapons and equipment of the Japanese army.
Soon, the transformed monk and his party appeared.
The leader of the team is Duan Peng, because this guy can speak some Japanese and wears the rank of Japanese Second Lieutenant.
These are the clothes seized from the Japanese squad leader that Duan Peng led his soldiers to kill.
There is a slight difference in body shape between the two, but the military uniforms are a little cramped, so they can still be worn.
The military rank of a monk is warrant officer.
The soldiers behind them also wore Japanese military uniforms, and were equipped with Japanese Type 38 rifles, plus helmets, backpacks, water bottles, luggage, etc., which were the same as the Japanese individual equipment.
Of course, there are three soldiers in the team. In addition to the 38-type rifles, they each also carry a Garand rifle.
These Garand rifles are easy to explain. They were the devils who killed some Eighth Route Army soldiers in the village and seized them from them.
The kid shouldn't suspect anything.
These Garand rifles are currently the main firepower of the Japanese team disguised by Monk and his party.
...At this time, the monk and his party started to act according to the plan.
In the house area to the west of Lijia Village, in order to prevent the village monks and his entourage from being raided from behind, Kazuo Nakano arranged fortifications, and a dozen little devils vigilantly stood guard with machine guns.
Boom——
The crude fortifications were naturally unable to withstand the bombardment of the 60 mortars. After one round of bombardment, the Japanese machine gun was blown up first.
Then Battalion Commander Sun led a charge and the Japanese defenses were forcibly breached.
The news of the battle immediately attracted the surrounding Japanese troops, and the Japanese troops on alert everywhere quickly rushed to the node for reinforcements.
First, two Japanese squad leaders arrived.
Then, a Japanese second lieutenant with a standard oriental face, his hat slightly crooked, hurried over with a command knife.
Under the brim of the hat worn by the Japanese second lieutenant standing next to him, there was almost no hair visible.
"Sir——"
When the two Japanese squad leaders saw the Japanese squad leader, they immediately put their heels together, lowered their heads, and shouted respectfully.
The Japanese team leader was very irritable and cursed in Japanese: "Baga, what happened?"
Under the angry words, the kid opposite probably didn't have time to analyze why the second lieutenant's Japanese in front of him was quite awkward.
"Password!" the scolding Japanese squad leader suddenly asked.
The two Japanese squad leaders quickly replied: "At the foot of Mount Fuji!"
"Xinxi, the Eighth Route Army must have made a sneak attack here. You should immediately strengthen your vigilance here and beware of the Eighth Route Army attacking us from behind!"
"Hi!"
After the Japanese team leader gave the order, he led the team of more than 20 people behind him and walked away.
Behind...
The originally serious-looking Japanese soldiers all smiled quietly, and some quietly gave a thumbs up to the Japanese team leader in front.
But he said that this small team was not Duan Peng and his party, who else could they be?
With the help of a surprise attack, they pretended to be reinforced from the surrounding area, and then smoothly penetrated into the rear of the Japanese army. It was a matter of course.
Duan Peng was even more astute. With the help of his higher military rank, he suddenly got the password by asking questions.
The main reason is that the current terrain and environment are complicated, and the surrounding battle situation is relatively chaotic. Internally, the Japanese army has to deal with the monk Duan Peng and his party in the village, and externally, it has to defend against the main attack of Captain Lu and his party. There is no time to carefully guard against the inside.
Duan Peng led his team in this way, heading towards the edge of the village, the Japanese army's outer defense fortifications, and swaggering through them.
The Japanese army has a strict hierarchy, and Duan Peng carries the rank of second lieutenant.
The highest ranking member of the entire Japanese and puppet army is the Japanese squadron leader Nakano Kazuo, with the rank of captain.
Plus a Japanese adjutant with the rank of lieutenant.
Apart from these two people, Duan Peng would basically not encounter a bigger enemy than his official Guan'er along the way.
"At the foot of Mount Fuji!"
On the way, Duan Peng exchanged commands with several Japanese soldiers who passed by him and continued to lead the team deeper.
For a squad leader like him, why he wants to move forward and what his purpose is? No subordinate would dare to ask.
After successfully penetrating into the inner fortifications of the Japanese and puppet troops, Duan Peng gradually rushed towards the Japanese grenade positions according to the sound of Japanese grenade fire.
Soon, after the group of people once again bypassed a path between houses, they saw the grenade positions of the Japanese army divided into five or six groups on the outer fortifications.
At a glance, each group can see three 89-type grenade launchers. The positions are about 20 meters apart, and they are distributed in a relatively regular arrangement along the entire fortification...
