Li Kun, Wang Chengzhu, Wei Monk, Wang Xiaohu and others present were also very interested and looked at Xu Dalong expectantly to see what method he had come up with to deal with the Japanese cavalry.
Xu Dalong just came up with this idea. It was a bit complicated and even bizarre. Even Xu Dalong couldn't help but feel a little proud and laughed.
Seeing that Xu Dalong was silent, Wang Chengzhu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He said, "What's the good idea of the captain? Please tell me quickly."
Xu Dalong still didn't speak. He took a piece of paper, drew a sketch on it, spread it out on the table, and everyone gathered around.
Xu Dalong pointed to the place circled in red and said: "Look, the Japs have come in large numbers this time, and the county is full of people. The Japs' cavalry brigade has so many horses and baggage, so they cannot live in the city.
Lived in a carriage and horse shop outside the city.
If our cavalry goes to attack them, with the arrogance of little devils and seeing that we are few in number, do you think they will come out to chase us?"
Under Xu Dalong's consistent advocacy, everyone also developed a good habit of thinking. After listening to Xu Dalong's questions, everyone also began to think seriously.
Wang Chengzhu shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Many of the Japs came this time, and the Japs' division commanders also came. They should have formulated a battle plan. I'm afraid those Japs' cavalry did not have the orders of the division commanders.
, we don’t dare to act without permission.”
Sun Desheng scratched his head and said: "It is indeed possible. The cavalry of the little devils has suffered several losses. They are afraid that we will ambush, so they will probably not come out to pursue us."
Everyone was talking a lot and felt that this was a possibility.
Li Kun came here mainly to study the tactical characteristics of Xu Dalong and others. He studied the battles that Xu Dalong and others fought before, and became very familiar with their tactics against the Japanese cavalry.
He said: "If the Japanese cavalry is in the city, they will ask their superiors for instructions even if they are attacked. When the enemy's situation is unclear, the Japanese commander will not take rash actions, and the Japanese cavalry will most likely not
come out.
However, it is easy for them to move outside the city, and they have no time to ask their superiors for instructions when they are attacked. In this case, it is very likely that they will come out.
However, the Japanese and puppet cavalry have encountered your ambush in the past. If the same tactics are used, it may not work.
Not only that, the Japanese army is only a cavalry brigade, and even if they adopt ambush tactics, they may not be able to eat them."
Sun Desheng said: "What Chief Li said makes sense. The only place we can ambush outside the city is in the hills. The little devils suffered twice there, and they will not be fooled at all."
Xu Dalong continued to inspire everyone to think, he said: "If you want to deal with the Japanese cavalry, you must meet several conditions. The first is to anger them.
Second, they must not be made to feel that they are in danger of being ambushed.
Third, we need to keep them away from the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Fourth, we must find a way to trap them and then encircle and annihilate them."
Everyone was talking about it, and they all felt that it would be easier to provoke the Japanese troops and lure them out to pursue them, even if they stayed away from the county town. However, it would be very difficult to ambush these Japanese cavalry. Even if they were lured out, it would still be difficult to do so.
It is almost impossible to encircle and annihilate them.
Because outside Guancheng County, except for the hilly area, it is all flat and there is no place suitable for an ambush. I am afraid that you have to enter Mawu Mountain to have such a suitable terrain for an ambush. The little devils are not fools, they will not
You are so far away from the main force. If you see the complicated terrain, you won't be fooled.
Not only that, this cavalry brigade is large in number and well-trained. When chasing and fighting on the plains, the guerrilla cavalry is probably no match for them, and the whole army may be destroyed.
While everyone was discussing, Lin Xueying kept paying attention to Xu Dalong.
Seeing the confident smile on his face, she knew that he must have a solution. Although she couldn't figure it out, she was full of confidence in Xu Dalong.
Sure enough, seeing that no one could come up with a better solution, Xu Dalong said: "My plan is like this..."
Xu Dalong's plan was very complicated. At first, everyone thought it was a bit confusing, but later, the more everyone listened, the more it made sense. They were all very surprised, and when Xu Dalong finished speaking, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
Wang Chengzhu looked at Xu Dalong and said with admiration: "Captain, you have come up with such a wicked idea. This trick is too damaging, but I like it, haha, hahaha."
Everyone also laughed together.
Lin Xueying silently stared at Xu Dalong, seeing his high-spirited appearance, she felt that this ordinary-looking man was full of mystery and had a strong attraction.
After the meeting, everyone left the conference room and went separately to prepare.
Lin Xueying walked beside Xu Dalong and said with concern: "You go on a mission alone, be careful."
Xu Dalong looked at Lin Xueying and saw the heartfelt worry in her eyes. He felt a little moved and found it helpful.
He smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern. It's okay."
Lin Xueying's eyes met with Xu Dalong's. She suddenly felt a burning sensation and a hint of shyness. She couldn't help but blush slightly and her eyes turned to one side.
Lin Xueying has always been elegant and generous in her interactions with Xu Dalong. At this moment, she showed a little childlike attitude, which added to her beauty, and Xu Dalong's heart couldn't help but flutter slightly.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the Mawushan guerrillas left Qiligou and headed for Guancheng County. This time, except for a small number of left-behind personnel, almost all the guerrillas came out.
Guancheng County.
The moonlight is like water, quietly splashing on the earth. The fields are exuding the fragrance of earth, and various small insects are singing quietly in the grass, adding to the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
The city wall of Guancheng County was built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than a hundred years. With the increase in population, some buildings began to be built outside the city. At the west gate of the county, there is a large carriage and horse shop.
The Japanese cavalry brigade was stationed here.
There are some buildings around the carriage and horse shop, and they are also full of Japanese soldiers. These Japanese soldiers belong to the 81st Regiment.
This time there were so many Japanese and puppet troops that the entire Guancheng County almost turned into a huge military camp.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, a dark figure appeared in the drainage ditch on the side of the road. He bent down and quietly came to the building complex. He very carefully avoided the Japanese sentries and arrived at the carriage and horse shop.
behind the wall.
The shadow climbed up the wall and did not rush to enter the compound. Instead, he lay down on a woodshed close to the wall and carefully observed the situation in the yard.
This person was none other than Xu Dalong. He was wearing a dark black night jacket with a Japanese military uniform underneath.
After he had a clear view of the situation in the yard, he came to the stables.
Xu Dalong saw many war horses in the stables, and a Japanese groom wearing an apron around his waist was feeding the horses there.
There was a room at the west end of the stable, with a dim oil lamp lit inside. The groom added some fodder to the manger and walked back to the room.
Xu Dalong quietly came to the door of the room, looked in through the window, and saw an earthen bed inside with two Japanese horsemen lying on it. There was a table in the middle of the room, and two horsemen were sitting there drinking and chatting.
Xu Dalong left the room and hid in the stable, then picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them on two adjacent war horses. The horses began to commotion in pain.
Soon a groom came out of the room and saw the two horses restless there. He thought they were fighting and came over cursing.
Xu Dalong suddenly jumped out, clamped his neck with his arms, and twisted the groom with all his strength.
Then, Xu Dalong took off his night clothes, revealing the Japanese military uniform underneath, and walked towards the room.
When he arrived at the door, he put aside the backpack he brought with him, lowered his head and pushed open the door, then turned around to close the door.
The groom sitting in the room only saw his back and thought it was the groom who had just returned. He didn't care and asked casually: "Is it the horse No. 219? His temper is still so fierce."
Xu Dalong then said "Yeah" and turned around and walked towards the Japanese soldier.
When the Japanese soldier saw that the person coming was not the horseman from before, he was surprised and asked: "Who are you?"
Xu Dalong made a hissing motion with his finger, and pointed at the two grooms lying on the bed, meaning to keep the voice down so as not to disturb them.
Then he whispered: "I am Ichiro Watanabe, the messenger for Your Excellency, the captain. I have something to ask you." Xu Dalong said as he approached the Japanese soldier.
The Japanese soldier stood up and said in a low voice: "Why haven't I seen you before? What are your orders, Captain?"
Xu Dalong came to him and motioned for him to come over.
The Japanese soldier stretched his head over, and Xu Dalong took action directly. He used the same method to break his neck, and then gently placed his body on the ground.
The four grooms were responsible for feeding the horses in turns, and they couldn't sleep well. Xu Dalong talked to the Japanese soldier. Although his voice was low, one of the Japanese soldiers was still awakened. He turned over and opened his eyes.
The unfamiliar face in front of him was about to say something, but Xu Dalong reached out to cover his mouth and stabbed the dagger into his heart.
Another Japanese soldier slept like a dead pig, and Xu Dalong also killed him with a dagger.
Xu Dalong left the room and put on his backpack. He first came to the manger, picked up a shovel, shoveled out the fodder in the manger, and threw it behind the horse.
Those war horses were eating well, and they didn't understand why this man refused to let them eat. They snorted angrily and looked at this annoying guy in front of them with puzzled eyes.
Xu Dalong came to the haystack, took out a few wine bottles from his backpack, poured the gasoline inside on them, then lifted up the tarpaulin and poured gasoline on the concentrated feed of the war horses inside.
He quickly left the stable, climbed over the fence, then took a wine bottle filled with gasoline, lit the oilcloth on the bottle mouth, and threw it towards the stable.
With a "boom", a fire broke out in the stable.
After Xu Dalong threw the bottle, he jumped off the fence and quickly ran towards the wild.
☆☆☆☆☆☆
It is often windy in this area, and there was also a secondary wind at this time. The wind helped the fire. Not only the stables were on fire, but also the surrounding houses were set on fire. The Japanese barracks was in chaos.
Xu Dalong ran to the wild and met a Japanese sentry on the road. He saw Xu Dalong in a panic and asked: "What happened?"
Xu Dalong pointed in the direction of the big car shop and shouted: "There is a fire in our cavalry brigade. Hurry up and call for help to put out the fire."
The Japanese sentries ran to report to their superiors.
Xu Dalong took the opportunity to run out of the building complex and ran towards the wild. He ran more than a hundred meters, and Monk Wei and others came up to him with their horses. Everyone got on their horses and evacuated quickly.
After captain Shichiro Inesei was awakened, he directed his men to put out the fire. When the Japanese soldiers discovered the four horsemen who had been killed, they came to report to him. While he sent people to strengthen the vigilance, he directed his men to continue fighting the fire.
The Japanese soldiers of the cavalry brigade struggled for two hours to put out the fire. By this time, it was already dawn.
Xu Dalong and others set up a mortar about 300 meters away from the Car and Horse Store and fired shells at the Car and Horse Store.
The artillery shell flew into the chariot and horse shop and exploded with a "boom". Although the Japanese soldiers heard the whistling sound of the artillery shell as it flew and ran for cover, there were still casualties.
The place where the shell exploded was not far from Shichiro Inesei. The air wave of the explosion scratched a piece of gravel onto his face, and a bloody mark was drawn on his fair cheek.
"Baqiya Road."
The fire raged for a full two hours. Inakisei Shichiro was already very angry, and the guerrilla attack only added to his anger.
He cursed, ordered the cavalry to mount their horses, and rushed towards Xu Dalong and others.
The Japanese soldiers were also very angry and roared at the guerrilla cavalry.
Xu Dalong and others hurriedly packed up the mortars, turned around and ran away. While running, they turned around and fired, luring the Japanese troops to chase them.
Shichiro Inesei had already seen the terrain in this area. He knew that the Japanese and puppet cavalry had been ambushed in this area in the past. He thought that this guerrilla force might still adopt this set of tactics.
He sneered and ordered the cavalry to divide into two groups and outflank the hill.
Sure enough, Inisei Shichiro's guess was correct. Seeing that the Japanese cavalry did not follow the guerrilla cavalry across the road in the middle of the hills, but outflanked it from both sides, the guerrilla cavalry ambushing in the woods worried
Being surrounded, they all mounted their horses and evacuated together with the previous guerrilla cavalry.
In front of this hilly area is a flat plain, so it is impossible for the guerrillas to set up an ambush.
When Shichiro Inesei saw about a hundred guerrilla cavalry, he knew that this was a good opportunity to annihilate the guerrilla cavalry, so he led the Japanese cavalry brigade in hot pursuit.
The guerrilla cavalry turned around and fired while running, and the Japanese cavalry kept firing while chasing.
In this case, the guerrilla cavalry suffered a big disadvantage, and several guerrillas were knocked off their horses by the Japanese army.
Seeing this situation, the Japanese soldiers became more motivated and tried their best to catch up.
The guerrilla cavalry ran wildly, covering more than twenty miles in one breath.
On the roadside in front, there were several guerrilla cavalry, and they were driving several large vehicles. There were large amounts of fodder and other supplies on the vehicles. It was obvious that these supplies were to provide protection for the guerrilla cavalry.
.
Seeing the Japanese troops chasing after them, several guerrilla cavalrymen pulled carts and ran with the guerrillas.
After all, the big cart couldn't outrun the cavalry. The guerrillas ran in a panic and threw the things on the cart down. At first it was fodder, and then they even threw down the boxes on top. Finally, in order to save their lives, the guerrilla cavalry
, simply throw the yen and ocean on the ground, hoping that the Japanese cavalry will snatch the money and stop the pursuit.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese cavalry were well-trained and well-disciplined. They did not care at all for these little tricks of the guerrillas, and they continued to pursue forward.
At this time, another hilly area appeared ahead. The guerrilla cavalry dismounted one after another, set up their machine guns, and fired at the Japanese cavalry.
Several Japanese cavalrymen who were rushing in front fell off their horses.
Seeing the complicated terrain ahead, Inisei Shichiro was worried that the guerrillas would set up an ambush there, so he ordered the cavalry to stop the pursuit.
He held up his telescope and observed carefully, and saw that in addition to the guerrilla cavalry, there seemed to be other guerrilla officers and soldiers ahead. He did not dare to take risks, and after observing for a while, he reluctantly gave the order to retreat.
On the way back, they passed by the place where the guerrillas had thrown coins, and saw ocean and Japanese military notes scattered everywhere on the ground.
The soldiers automatically slowed down their horses, and many simply stopped and looked longingly at Inseishichiro.
Chisei Shichiro knew what his soldiers were thinking, and he felt that nothing was wrong. He ordered a cavalry team to monitor the direction of the guerrillas on horseback, and other officers and soldiers could dismount and pick up the money.
The Japanese soldiers were very excited and jumped off their horses to grab the money scattered on the ground.
Qishei Shichiro looked around vigilantly and found nothing unusual.
The Japanese cavalry were focused on the money scattered on the ground, but ignored the condition of their horses.
In addition to the money, there was also a large amount of fodder scattered on the ground. In fact, there was already a large amount of fodder scattered on this land. The fodder thrown by the guerrillas from the cart was just a cover-up to provide food for the Japanese army.
This caused the illusion that the fodder was thrown from the carriage. The Japanese army was moving at high speed at that time, and now they were tempted by money, so they ignored this.
Because Xu Dalong took out all the fodder in the manger, the war horses did not have enough to eat at night. The fodder and the concentrated feed were burned by Xu Dalong. The war horses were always hungry. After this period of running,
Even more hungry.
They are not interested in the ocean and Japanese military bills. Seeing that their owners are making a fortune, they lower their heads and eat the grass on the ground.
Seeing those guerrillas hiding on the hills and not daring to come over, Inisei Shichiro smiled contemptuously and ordered the Japanese soldiers who had already picked up the ocean and military coupons to mount their horses and form a team, preparing to evacuate.
The Japanese soldiers finished lining up and began to return the way they came.
The guerrilla cavalry ran out of the hills again and followed the Japanese cavalry leisurely.
Shichiro Inesei ignored this. He wanted this to be the case. He wanted to wait until the guerrillas were far away from the hilly areas, then catch up with them and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, a war horse in the queue stopped. No matter how much the cavalry on the horse urged the horse, it refused to go any further. Then, there was a rumble sound coming from the horse's buttocks, and a smell filled the air.
Come on.
Not only this one war horse, but most of the war horses also began to show symptoms, and the ground in the entire queue was filthy.
The war horses were very weak, and some simply fell down.
"Baqiya Road."
Only then did Shichiro Inisei realize that he had been fooled. The guerrillas deliberately provoked them, and the ambush in the hills near the county seat was fake. Even these oceans and Japanese military tickets were just to attract the attention of the Japanese army. The real
The conspiracy lies in the fodder on the ground. It is obvious that these fodder have been tampered with.
Qian Chengshichiro guessed it right. Xu Dalong had been struggling for so long just to let the Japanese army's horses eat the croton-infused fodder.
Seeing that the Japanese army had fallen into the trap, Xu Dalong and others immediately divided into two groups and launched an outflank attack on the Japanese army. Then, the guerrilla infantry ambushing in the woods also pressed towards the Japanese army.
The Japanese cavalry did not have horses, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of ordinary Japanese infantry.
Shichiro Inesei knew that he could not outrun the guerrilla cavalry, and the area was unsafe to defend, so they could only resist where they were.
There was nothing dangerous here for the Japanese soldiers to defend, and they had no digging tools to form a bunker. In order to survive, they had no choice but to use the fallen horses on the ground as bunkers, ignoring the horse dung all over the ground, and pinched their noses.
Lying down.
When the guerrillas saw the embarrassed appearance of the Japanese army from a distance, they couldn't help laughing.
Everyone didn't even want to continue the attack, they just wanted to see if the Japanese soldiers would be stink to death from the horse dung.
The guerrilla cavalry cut off the Japanese army's retreat, and the infantry also surrounded them, preparing to attack the Japanese army.
