Chapter 176: Making a sound in the east and attacking in the west (1)
In the next two days, Liu Hua continued to receive telegrams from the cavalry battalion and the special operations brigade. After nearly two days of investigation and statistics, Liu Hua had tracked down all the garrison troops in several counties north of Shanxi.
It is clear. Especially all the Japanese strongholds along the road from Yuanping County to Pingding County.
"Correspondent, order the commanders of each regiment to assemble their troops immediately and be on standby at any time." Liu Hua ordered loudly to the correspondent behind him.
"Commander, we have to pass through three counties along the way from Yuanping to the base area. Each county has a brigade of Japanese troops, and there are four towns, each with a squadron of Japanese strongholds. How do you plan to allocate the troops?" Political Commissar
Liu Hua asked, looking at the thoughtful Liu Hua.
"Political Commissar, although the three main regiments suffered heavy casualties in the last battle, and they have not been replenished with troops, their combat effectiveness is still there. By then, the three main regiments will have taken over three counties, and the remaining
The three newly formed regiments are responsible for encircling the Japanese strongholds along the way, but not attacking them. The cavalry battalion and the special operations brigade follow the cars and are responsible for the escort and security tasks along the way." Liu Hua pointed at the map and said.
"Well, that's all we can do. We just have to let the three main regiments have to fight hard. Let's let the staff discuss a combat plan based on this plan, and it will be delivered to me and the commander in an hour." Political Commissar.
He nodded in agreement.
In this way, the six hurriedly assembled regiments were required to carry radio stations and all heavy weapons and rush to the assembly point required by the headquarters to await orders. At this time, the other groups and detachments led by Liu Xiaogang also began to take action.
"Captain, it has been clearly investigated. A car of a Japanese army's baggage team will stop at this small stronghold tonight to replenish fuel." A soldier who was sent out to investigate the enemy's situation said directly to a Japanese stronghold on the map.
"How many people are there in the Japanese stronghold?" Liu Xiaogang asked.
"There is only one Japanese squad, and together with the Japanese baggage squad, the total strength is less than 100 people."
Okay, let's take action tonight. Remember, it's best not to fire guns, but to use daggers to deal with them all. Order each group to gather immediately and arrange the combat mission for the night."
Soon, the leaders of each group came to Liu Xiaogang's tent.
"Tonight, we are about to take action. Our goal is this stronghold. And the task is to quietly get the 12 Japanese vehicles in the stronghold into our camp. How about it, do you have confidence?"
Liu Xiaogang asked.
"Captain, do you know the strength of the Japanese stronghold? Do you have a defense plan for the Japanese stronghold?" The squadron leader next to him remained awake and asked.
"Yes, there are no more than 100 people in the Japanese stronghold, and there are dozens of heavy troops. The so-called stronghold is the original garrison of a local militia group of the national army, surrounded by a two-meter-high earthen fence. Sandbags are used at the entrance of the yard.
There is a ring of fortifications with a light machine gun, and according to last night's investigation, there are two Japanese sentries at the door every night." Captain Liu Xiaogang briefly introduced.
"Captain, if this is the case, we will definitely be able to quietly deal with this group of Japanese soldiers." A team leader said excitedly.
"Okay, now let's arrange combat missions." Liu Xiaogang ordered the team leaders around him.
"The sniper team, in charge of the Japanese sentries, requires the snipers to use crossbows to quietly kill the Japanese sentries before the soldiers launch an attack. Then, they ambush around the Japanese strongholds and shoot all possible Japanese soldiers. Remember, only
Crossbows are not allowed, rifles are not allowed."
"Yes, captain, resolutely complete the mission."
The first action team and the second action team, led by the squadron leader, entered through the gate of the Japanese stronghold and annihilated dozens of heavy troops in the tents in the front yard of the Japanese. The same request, no firing, no survivors."
"The third, fourth, and fifth action teams, led by me personally, climbed over the wall directly into the Japanese backyard after the sniper attack. The third team occupied the headquarters of the Japanese stronghold and cut off Takako's colleagues as soon as possible.
To contact the outside world, the fourth and fifth squads gave me room by room to clean out the Japanese troops inside without leaving any survivors."
"Yes, captain, resolutely complete the mission." Several people replied in unison.
"Okay, do you all understand your mission now? Tell the soldiers to get ready. We will set off at nine o'clock in the evening and move on time at twelve o'clock. The meeting is over." Liu Xiaogang waved his hand and watched everyone leave.
It was already midnight in the dead of night, and all the soldiers of the special operations team were gathered in the woods less than 500 meters away from the Japanese stronghold. Several snipers in the vanguard had already put on various tree branches to camouflage themselves.
crossbow, ready for action.
"Okay, the time has come. Each group will set off now according to the planned plan." Liu Xiaogang said while looking at his watch.
Upon hearing the order, dozens of soldiers around Liu Xiaogang immediately disappeared into the dark night under the leadership of their team leader. The two snipers, holding the crossbows tightly in their hands, lurked 50 meters away from the Japanese sentry.
Far away.
However, the distance of fifty meters is still very far for a crossbow. In order to achieve more accurate shooting, the two snipers used the cover of the branches on their bodies to slowly crawl towards the Japanese sentry.
Under the cover of darkness and tree branches, only the sound of the friction between clothes and the ground could be heard during the whole process, and this sound had no impact on the Japanese sentries dozens of meters away.
Finally, under the cover of night, the two men crawled to a place only 20 meters away from the sentry and stopped. A crossbow arrow was quietly taken out and slowly put into the arrow trough. They raised the crossbow and held it steady.
He aimed steadily at the Japanese sentries who were searching around not far away.
After the two of them signaled to each other that they were ready, they both pulled the trigger at the same time.
"Whoosh!" Two piercing sounds caught the attention of the Japanese sentry. Just when the two turned around and looked this way, a cold crossbow arrow had been inserted into the necks of the two men. The Japanese opened his mouth.
Big Mouth, he wanted to shout out, but with the crossbow inserted into his throat, he couldn't make any sound.
Without any movement, the two noble sentries fell to the sniper's crossbows.
Seeing the two Japanese sentries swaying and falling to the ground, the first and second attack groups following the snipers immediately stood up and walked toward the door of the Japanese stronghold.
When they arrived at the gate, the two sentries were completely lifeless. The soldiers ignored the two corpses on the ground, jumped over the bunker built by the Japanese with sandbags, and entered the stronghold.
First of all, the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was two rows of 12 large trucks, parked neatly on one side of the stronghold's yard. On the other side of the yard, a dozen tents were set up neatly.
"Quick, time is limited, three people per tent, use daggers to deal with them all. The first group starts from the front, and the second group starts from the back. Don't leave anyone alive, start taking action." The squadron leader who was in command immediately issued an order based on the situation.
Order.
After receiving the order, the soldiers took out the daggers from their waists, held them in their mouths, and walked towards the Japanese tent in groups of three. The squadron leader quietly opened the tent window and saw four Japanese lying inside, breathing.
He fell asleep. Seeing the rare opportunity, he immediately dodged into the tent. The two soldiers following him dodged into the tent equally quickly, one Japanese for each.
Walking to the Japanese's side, the squadron leader picked up the dagger in his mouth with his right hand. Immediately, his left hand suddenly covered the Japanese's mouth, and his right hand quickly slashed the Japanese's neck with the dagger. In an instant, a stream of blood surged from the wound on the Japanese's neck.
came out. The Japs who reacted could only open their eyes and look at the man holding the dagger in front of them, waiting for the blood to drain from their necks. Soon, the three Japs were quickly eliminated by the three soldiers.
.And the last Japs were quickly dispatched by the fastest soldier.
"Go to the next tent!" the squadron leader ordered quietly.
The two soldiers immediately wiped the blood from their daggers on the Japanese corpse and followed the squadron leader to another tent...
Liu Hua, the captain of the team that attacked the Japanese backyard, used a ladder to climb over the dirt fence at the same moment as the sniper launched the attack, and gathered in the corner.
Maybe the Japanese thought they were in the rear and very far away from the Eighth Route Army. Maybe they believed in their stronghold. In the entire Japanese backyard, except for two Japanese sentries chatting at the door, no one was on patrol.
In this dark Japanese backyard, only one house had a light on, and it seemed to be making a "ding, ding, ding..." sound.
"You, you, you two went over and touched the two Japs' sentries. You, you, follow me to occupy the Japs' radio station and headquarters and cut off their contact with the outside world. The rest, under the leadership of their respective team leaders,
I will clean up the houses one by one without leaving a single person alive. Let’s go now.” Liu Xiaogang waved his hand and led two soldiers to lurk towards the only lighted place in the Japanese backyard.
Sure enough, the place where the light was turned on was the Japanese radio room, because Liu Xiaogang could clearly hear the sound of the radio sending and receiving telegrams. Through the papered wooden window, Liu Xiaogang discovered that there were three Japanese in the radio room, and two of them were still wearing
There was a pistol, and a Japs sitting in front of the table could be identified at a glance as the top commander of this stronghold, because he wore the rank of lieutenant.
Liu Xiaogang retreated quietly. "There are three Japs inside, one of them is a lieutenant, and that one is mine. No one wants to snatch it from me. You, rush in later and deal with the Japs Lieutenant's guards. You, deal with the Japs Radio
Soldiers, remember, you must move quickly to prevent the Japanese from sending out a request for help," Liu Xiaogang ordered to the two soldiers beside him.
