"Hey, I will take care of it right away. I will definitely live up to the great trust of the commander." The chief of staff said with a sigh of relief after hearing the commander's order.
Just when the Japanese army was in distress, Wang Da led his company, carried the wounded, and safely left the village through the tunnel. He hid in a forest 3 kilometers away from the village that had been scouted.
"Instructor, go and make statistics on the situation in the battle just now. You have to hurry. I estimate that the Japanese have entered the village now. There is not much time left for us. So we must seize the time to rest and prepare for tonight's action.
"Wang Da turned around and said to the instructor behind him.
Soon, less than half an hour after sitting down to rest, I saw the instructor walking over with a piece of paper. "Instructor, the situation statistics are finished." the company commander asked from a distance.
The instructor nodded and sat next to Wang Da. "I just made statistics. In the battle just now, our company sacrificed four soldiers, two were seriously injured, and eight were lightly wounded. However, the lightly wounded did not affect the combat effectiveness. In the end,
The important thing is that none of the veterans who came from the Long March were killed. Judging from the casualties, overall it was pretty good.
The soldiers seized a total of 3 light machine guns, 2 grenade launchers, 30 rifles, an estimated number of more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition, 60 rounds of grenades, and a lot of grenades. This ammunition was enough to replenish our company's consumption in the past few days, and it also
There are some left." When talking about the materials seized by the troops, the instructor's face was full of excitement.
"Well, that's right. I'll let the soldiers collect the captured weapons and ammunition later. Except for grenades, you can preside over and distribute them evenly to three platoons. When this battle is over, we will hand over all the bullets and grenades.
Allocated to the hands of the soldiers, especially grenades, most of the night attacks tonight will still rely on grenades." After listening to the instructor's report, the company commander expressed his thoughts.
"I agree." The instructor nodded.
"Okay. Let's carry out the execution immediately, and then let the soldiers seize the time to eat some solid food and rest as soon as possible. We will take action at 12 o'clock in the evening. Also, let the local comrades immediately take the remains of the sacrificed soldiers and their heavy
The wounded were moved to Zhangjiazhuang in the rear, and the wounded could not be allowed to affect the combat effectiveness of the troops."
The soldiers were quietly munching on dry food to recharge their batteries. But the Japanese were not so leisurely. Originally, everyone wanted to drink some hot water and have a hot dinner after a day of marching. However, contrary to expectations, there was no food nearby.
Drinking water. Therefore, at this time, these soldiers could only watch the cooking class not far away with hungry stomachs.
After the soldiers waited for more than two hours, and while the soldiers waited eagerly, the convoy that went out to look for water came back. Seeing that there was water, the soldiers ignored the constraints of military discipline and swarmed towards the convoy. Until the military police
The squadron came over to maintain discipline, and the cooking squads of each squadron came in turn to collect water and prepare dinner.
In this way, the entire Japanese army did not finish their dinner until after ten o'clock in the evening. After drinking and eating, the fatigue of the day's march slowly set in. The Japanese army could finally lie comfortably by the fire and enjoy
With a rare trace of tranquility, I slowly fell into sleep.
Finally, midnight arrived, and the soldiers of the first company got up one after another. Under the order of the company commander, except for the necessary ammunition and weapons, all the remaining equipment was thrown into the woods for concealment. Through the tunnel, a company of Eighth Route Army quietly again
Silently invaded the Japanese camp.
Since the main force of the Japanese army was constantly attacked by the Eighth Route Army's troops along the way, the Japanese army had a very large number of troops guarding the perimeter, which can almost be described as heavily guarded. However, the village was very lax. Because they believed that the perimeter was
There was a tight security force. It was impossible for a small group of Eighth Route Army soldiers to invade the village without alerting the sentries.
Therefore, in the village, although the Japanese army headquarters and a brigade were stationed, there were not many warning posts. Except for some routine patrols, the entire Japanese military camp seemed to be undefended.
, open to the soldiers.
Seeing the Japanese army camp without much defense, Wang Da couldn't help but feel excited. However, Wang Da did not let the Japanese's laxness paralyze him and let him underestimate the enemy. After observing the layout of the enemy's military camp, Wang Da quickly returned to the tunnel.
At that time, more than a dozen squad platoon leaders from a company had all gathered together, waiting for them to assign combat tasks. Wang Da nodded as he looked at the energetic warriors.
"Comrades, I just observed the Japanese military camp, and they are very lax. However, although they are very lax, we still cannot be paralyzed. I think everyone has experienced the Japanese army's combat effectiveness a few days ago, and I don't want to dwell on it.
I just want to say that during the attack, if you are not attacked, no one is allowed to use a gun. Because as soon as you shoot, your position will be exposed, and there may be countless bullets to miss you.
s position.
Therefore, during the sneak attack, you are only allowed to use grenades. Greet the areas where the Japs are crowded, throw the grenades on yourself, retreat quickly, and do not engage in entanglement with the Japs. Do you hear that?" Wang Da ordered loudly.
road.
"Yes, company commander," everyone replied seriously.
"Okay, the whole company will work as a squad and sneak into every corner of the village through the tunnels. After hearing my gunshot, they will all throw grenades at places where there are many Japs. Of course, if they encounter Japs' ammunition,
, they were all blown up by me, don't be polite, execute it immediately." Company Commander Wang Da gave the decisive order.
'Peng,' a piercing gunshot broke the quiet night sky. The gunshot was like a stone hitting a thousand waves. The soldiers who were already in place pulled out the safety of the grenades they had just seized and threw them at the Japanese tents one after another.
The fire went "boom, boom, boom..." Immediately, bursts of fierce explosions sounded in the village.
After all, a brigade of elite troops was stationed in the village. Although the Japanese troops were confused when they heard the gunshots and explosions, under the command of various commanders, they still took out their rifles in an orderly manner and ran out of the barracks without even wearing clothes.
Rushed towards the place where the explosion sounded. And here, the dense reinforcements of the Japanese soldiers once again gave the soldiers a chance to show off their power. Grenades with green smoke were fired from the sky again, causing a rain of blood and Japanese soldiers.
of wailing.
Although the uninjured Japanese were squatting on the ground, aiming around with rifles in their hands, hoping to find the attackers. However, in the dark night, the soldiers did not use guns, but kept changing positions and throwing grenades at the Japanese army. How could this happen?
Their position was exposed. As a result, the Japanese soldiers squatting on the ground not only gained nothing, but also had to face grenades that dropped from the sky all the time, making them extremely defenseless.
Since the soldiers each had 4 grenades, plus hundreds of captured grenades, basically every soldier had 8 to 10 grenades, so the entire attack lasted for nearly ten minutes. Before the soldiers
After they all threw the grenades in their hands, they reluctantly retreated from the tunnel to the woods outside the village, met with others, and moved to the next village.
The ten-minute period was very exciting for the Eighth Route Army soldiers who participated in the attack. However, it was extremely painful for the Japanese soldiers who were attacked, because they had to be constantly on guard against grenades falling from the sky. After the war, after
Statistics show that within ten minutes, the Japanese army killed a total of 128 soldiers, 38 were seriously injured, and countless others were lightly injured. In other words, without any casualties, the Japanese army defeated the Japanese army with only nearly 1,000 grenades.
Caused the loss of one squadron.
Facing an attack that came from nowhere, the commander of the regiment did not have the courage to continue to station the troops in the village. In the end, he had to order all the soldiers to leave the village and sleep in the open like the two brigades outside the village.
Similarly, in the next few days, the Japanese army did not dare to camp in any deserted village. However, the Eighth Route Army's attacks were not limited to this tactic. They relied on more and more complete functions.
The tunnels, the militia in the base area, the garrison regiment, and the newly formed regiment gave the arrogant Japanese army a good lesson on what people's war is.
Facing the deserted village, although the troops did not need to be stationed, after all, the main regiment needed to pass through the village. As the Japanese passed through the village, of course they had to leave something behind. The soldiers hid in the tunnels,
Shooting once in the east, shooting once in the west, and then throwing a grenade, not only greatly reduced the morale of the Japanese, but also caused certain casualties to the Japanese.
When soldiers pass through tunnels, what they like to deal with the most is the soldiers below the reconnaissance patrol squad. Because such a large force will often be wiped out once it is caught in the quagmire of tunnel warfare, otherwise it will be beaten and bruised.
.
At this time, the Japanese who had penetrated deep into the base area had truly tasted what it meant to be a people's war, and what it was like to have a solid wall and clear the country. After entering the base area, it could be said that they were in need of water and food, and food but not food. The morale of the soldiers was also constantly improving along the Eighth Route Army.
They were exhausted in battles, mine warfare, and sparrow warfare. In order to relieve the pressure on the soldiers and relieve the troops' food and water sources, many Japanese regiments had to stop and wait for supplies from outside the mountains.
However, these supplies, which were not escorted by many troops, of course became the meat and potatoes of the few main regiments left behind in the base area. Often, the Japanese army's supply convoys would be captured or destroyed by the soldiers as soon as they entered the base area, and only a few of them ended up being
into the hands of the Japanese army.
So now, except for two large groups of Japanese armies that are continuing to advance, the remaining groups of Japanese soldiers have all been dragged into the ocean of the People's War. They cannot advance or advance, and there is no order to retreat. But at this moment
