Later, when they interrogated these Japanese prisoners, they still asked with lingering fear:
"How did you suddenly appear behind us?"
"This is too scary. We are completely surrounded but don't know it. Fortunately, we think we are well-trained!"
"I am convinced of my defeat. I have never encountered anything like this on the battlefield!"
…
This may be a huge psychological gap that makes it difficult for them to accept: originally they had a strong psychological advantage over the Eighth Route Army, and felt that they were definitely better than the Eighth Route Army in terms of tactics and quality. As a result, this battle directly knocked them from heaven to hell.
.
"The higher you climb, the harder you fall." This sentence is perfect to describe the devil at this time.
In fact, even Wang Xuexin was a little surprised, because in only eleven minutes, the reconnaissance company successfully completed the task of occupying the warehouse, at the cost of only one man being sacrificed and five others being injured.
This also makes Wang Xuexin very happy, because it proves that the reconnaissance company has not been idle during this time, and they have been training according to the subjects and methods they designed for them.
But that was not what Wang Xuexin was concerned about at this time. He hurried to the warehouse door with a few people, and the monk was smashing the door with a hammer... Although the Japanese surrendered, the monk gestured for them to hand over the keys, but he didn't.
They made no noise, but the monk was so angry that he almost wanted to catch them one by one and kill them.
With a "clang" sound, the copper lock was smashed to the ground. The monk opened the door and took a flashlight to shine inside... All the soldiers exclaimed.
There were boxes of ammunition piled inside. The entire warehouse was so full that it was difficult to even get in.
"Good guy!" The monk looked at the ammunition and then looked back at Wang Xuexin and said, "The Japanese are so brave. Aren't they afraid of being bombed if they store ammunition like this?"
The monk is right, this warehouse has a tile roof, and it is full of piles. There are probably more than a dozen other warehouses as well.
With so much ammunition, if a few mortar shells came in, the entire warehouse would be wiped out.
Wang Xuexin only replied: "Because this is Yuncheng!"
The monk understood it as soon as he heard it.
In Yuncheng, all the people have been driven out, and Anda 23 has set up two lines of defense outside, so this is the safest place for the Japanese.
but……
Wang Xuexin said: "This is not the case for us!"
"What do you mean?" the monk asked back.
Wang Xuexin said: "The Japs have planes, and they also know the location of the ammunition depot!"
The monk's eyes immediately widened: "You mean..."
Wang Xuexin nodded.
Needless to say, after the escaped Anda 23 calmed down, he turned around and thought, he must not let this batch of ammunition fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, so of course he would send planes to bomb.
No fighter or bomber is needed, just the 98 light explosion used as a reconnaissance aircraft is enough.
Therefore, in the following time, Wang Xuexin spent most of his time not fighting, but thinking about this batch of ammunition.
Move them around and spread them out?
There are quite a few scattered places, because all the people in Yuncheng have been driven out, and Yuncheng is still a relatively wealthy city with many brick houses... wooden houses are too easily affected by fire and are not suitable for storing ammunition.
The problem is a lack of manpower.
At this time, the battle was not over yet. The tank company and accompanying infantry were still fighting for the city gate. The only thing Wang Xuexin could use was the reconnaissance company.
The reconnaissance company's combat effectiveness is strong, but this does not mean that they can evacuate the ammunition from these dozen warehouses in an instant like Superman.
At this time, it was about to get dark, and as soon as it got dark, the Japanese plane might appear in the sky over Yuncheng.
And it's not just this warehouse, there is also a slightly smaller ammunition depot and a grain warehouse. Even if the people of the Independent Regiment can get in now, it may be too late.
After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin ordered: "Find the tires, light them up and let out smoke!"
"Yes!" The monk waved his hand, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company immediately split up.
For a time, everything that could be used in Yuncheng was used, and some soldiers even had the idea to set the entire house on fire... As long as the front and rear houses were blown down to prevent the fire from spreading, there would be no big problem in setting it alight.
.
Once the fire was ignited, anything that could emit black smoke was thrown in, and soon the entire Yuncheng was enveloped in smoke.
The Eighth Route Army was lucky.
When the sky was getting brighter, Wang Xuexin found that there was heavy fog around him again... This may be related to Wang Xuexin's lighting of fires and smoke. Smoke particles are more likely to float in the air and mix with water vapor to form thick fog.
In addition, it was cloudy that day, so the visibility in Yuncheng was very low, and we could only vaguely see a dozen meters away.
Then, sure enough, I heard the "rumbling" sound of a motor in the sky.
Wang Xuexin raised his head and looked at the sky. The soldiers whose faces were covered with blood and smoke after a busy night also looked at the sky, although they could not see anything because of the smoke.
"Batalion Commander!" The monk looked around and said worriedly, "You'd better change places!"
Only then did Wang Xuexin realize that they were still in the ammunition depot at this time. If a few bombs were dropped from the sky... Wang Xuexin, including the reconnaissance company, would be blown to pieces and not even a single piece of intact flesh would be found.
But Wang Xuexin shook his head and said, "I bet the Japanese can't find their target!"
The monk grinned in embarrassment and replied: "Batalion Commander, what do you mean, you want me to bet that the Japanese can find their target?"
"What? Not happy?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"When did you learn the tricks of the leader?" The monk replied disdainfully: "If I bet, wouldn't I be stupid? If I lose, I have to give you the bet. If I win,
Just be blown up to the sky by the Japanese... Do you guarantee victory or not?"
As he spoke, the monk raised his head towards Wang Xuexin: "Batalion Commander, you have forgotten that I worked as a guard for the regiment commander before. I am more familiar with this than you!"
Wang Xuexin was speechless for a moment. The monk's mind was getting brighter and brighter.
At this time, the whistling sound of falling bombs came from the sky. Wang Xuexin loosened half of the tight string as soon as he heard the sound.
Based on his experience, he knew that the bomb's impact point was at least two kilometers away from their location.
Sure enough, I saw two "boom" explosions in the distance, accompanied by the fire of the bomb.
However, the fire only flickered for a moment, and soon everything was plunged into smoke again.
The Japanese plane seemed unwilling to give in and continued to circle in the air for several times, dropping a few bombs from time to time as if trying its luck.
But Yuncheng is so big that blowing up the warehouse by chance like this is simply harder than winning the lottery.
Finally, after more than half an hour, the sound of the plane gradually faded away.
Wang Xuexin immediately ordered: "Quick, contact the regiment leader and send someone to evacuate the ammunition immediately!"
