Wangguanzhuang stronghold is only more than ten miles away from Changzhuang. The Japanese chose this place because the two places are not far apart. Once one stronghold is attacked, the other stronghold can immediately rush to help. If it is attacked by the Eighth Route Army at the same time on a large scale,
The Japs brigade from Qinghe County can also come over soon for reinforcements.
An hour later, Commander Song came over with his special agent company.
Also coming with them were several carts, pulled by puppet troops.
This kind of free manpower is not used in vain, right?
After the two bases met, Deputy Commander Wang immediately ordered the puppet prisoners in the stronghold to load the supplies on the trucks from Wangguanzhuang. Then he summoned more than a hundred puppet prisoners of war from the two strongholds and began to lecture.
The main thing is to warn them not to follow the little devils and do evil, and the Eighth Route Army should try its best to cooperate with them when they encounter them in the future.
The more than one hundred puppet prisoners of war were trained like a grandson by Deputy Commander Wang, nodding their heads repeatedly.
After the training, Deputy Commander Wang released the more than 100 puppet prisoners of war on the spot.
Commander Song came over and said to Xu Rui: "Captain Xu, count the time. The group of Japanese soldiers from Qinghe County have almost reached Wangguanzhuang. Otherwise, we will go back to the base area right now?"
Commander Song and Deputy Commander Wang were very satisfied when they went out to pick up people this time and were able to remove the stronghold of two Japanese soldiers and seize so many supplies.
Xu Rui smiled and asked: "Commander, don't you want to do something big?"
"A big vote?" Commander Song was stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean?"
Next to him, Deputy Commander Wang asked: "Captain Xu, are you talking about the Japanese brigade that ambushed Qinghe County?"
"An ambush is not enough. Why not simply capture Qinghe County?" Xu Rui said with a smile, "Two sheep are driven, and a group of sheep is herded. If Qinghe County can be captured, there will definitely be no shortage of military supplies."
"Attacking Qinghe County?" Commander Song lost his voice, "Isn't this too risky?"
It is not surprising that Commander Song would have this reaction, because the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was too poor, especially after going deep into the battlefield behind enemy lines and expanding the army. Even rifles were shared by several people, and the average number of bullets per gun was less than five rounds, such as combat anti-cannon
There are no such artillery pieces, and machine guns are very rare.
How do you fight a tough battle under these conditions?
Let alone a critical battle, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is enough to fight a positional battle.
Because of this, the Eighth Route Army could only fight sparrow wars with the Japanese in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. It was not until 40 years later that the Eighth Route Army used battlefield seizures and production in its own arsenal, plus some support from the Soviet Union, to improve its weapons and equipment, and the combat quality of its soldiers also improved.
When you improve, you start to fight positional battles with the Japanese, even offensive battles.
By 1944, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was no longer the same as at the beginning of the War of Resistance. The Japanese in North China did not even dare to leave their strongholds! Because as soon as they left their strongholds, they would be annihilated, even the entire brigade, the entire regiment, etc.
The entire brigade might also be annihilated by the Eighth Route Army. At that time, the Eighth Route Army was already capable of large-scale annihilation wars!
However, now is the most difficult stage for the Eighth Route Army after its expansion.
Because of this, commanders like Commander Song would never consider attacking a tough battle at all.
But Xu Rui has never experienced the hardships of the Eighth Route Army since he traveled through time, so he doesn't even bother to fight sparrow wars with the little devils. He has always fought positional warfare, mobile warfare, and even annihilation wars with the little devils! But that said
When he came back, Xu Rui did have the capital, and he did annihilate several divisions of the Japs.
Xu Rui added: "Commander Song, Deputy Commander Wang, I just took a look at the military supplies. It is enough for us to fight a medium-sized ambush. If we fight well, it will be no problem to eliminate an infantry brigade of the Japanese!"
By the time the Japanese infantry brigade is eliminated, Qinghe County will basically be an empty city."
Commander Song looked back at the truck loaded with military supplies, feeling a little moved.
Deputy Commander Wang licked his dry lips and said in a deep voice: "Old Song, why don't you take a gamble."
Commander Song's eyes immediately revealed a stern look, he nodded and said, "Fuck it, then fight!"
…
Almost at the same time, the Japanese reinforcements from Qinghe County had arrived at Wangguanzhuang.
The Japs Major who led the team was named Sasaki Toichi, and he was the highest commander of the Qinghe County garrison. Not only that, this little Japs was also the younger brother of Sasaki Toichi, the top commander of the Japs garrison in Henan. In the Japs army, both brothers and sons served at the same time.
There are not a few, the most famous of which are Shunroku Hata and his brother Entaro Hata.
However, by the time Sasaki arrived with the Qinghe County Gendarmerie Brigade and a battalion of the puppet army, the Wangguanzhuang stronghold had already been looted. In addition to more than a dozen Japanese corpses, there were only messes all over the place.
A company of puppet troops originally stationed at the Wangguanzhuang stronghold was completely wiped out.
"Hagagaru." Sasaki was so angry that his teeth were broken, but there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, the adjutant suddenly came to report: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army that attacked Wangguanzhuang's stronghold has gone to Changzhuang and has joined the Eighth Route Army that attacked Changzhuang."
"Yoshi, this will save trouble." Sasaki nodded happily, then turned over and sat back on the three-wheeled motorcycle, then waved and shouted, "Open the way to Changzhuang!"
"Hai!" The adjutant nodded heavily, turned around and shouted, "Open the way!"
The next moment, the Japanese and puppet troops who were waiting on the spot immediately formed four columns and drove toward the Changzhuang stronghold along the dirt road.
…
It was still the woods where Xu Rui and the others had rested before.
Nearly a hundred members of the Langya team, plus more than 120 soldiers from the Special Agent Company of the Eighth Route Army's southern Hebei Division, have already laid an ambush in the woods on both sides of the dirt road.
At first, Commander Song and Deputy Commander Wang were a little worried.
But when the soldiers and the Siberian Tiger's firepower output team unloaded the wooden crates from their horses and took out their respective Gatling machine guns from the wooden crates, they immediately dispelled their doubts. The daredevil's Langya was already prepared.
, even the Gatling machine gun was specially brought here, so there would be no problem.
This ambush will be played by the two firepower output groups of the soldiers and the Siberian tigers.
Two fire teams, with a total of twelve team members, Xu Rui temporarily divided into four groups and deployed four inverted triangular ambush formations along both sides of the road. These four inverted triangular ambush formations were arranged in steps along the front and rear of the road, almost.
This way, all the Japanese and puppet troops coming from the future can be wrapped in it. Even if they cannot be wrapped, there won't be too many Japanese left at the beginning or the end.
At this moment, He Changzhu was lying next to the soldier, looking at the soldier's Gatling gun eagerly.
The soldier also deliberately showed off. He slapped the metal runner of the Gatling machine gun with his palm, and the six-barreled runner of the gun immediately started to rotate. Because there was no loading chain, the feeding mechanism made continuous clicking sounds.
Just listening to the sound of empty warehouses, you can feel the murderous aura, and He Changzhu's eyes widened when he saw it.
"Donkey Ball said." He Changzhu asked with great envy, "Isn't this big guy very powerful?"
"That goes without saying." The soldier said proudly, "Maxim and Browning are just scum in front of it. Not to mention the Type 92 heavy machine gun of the little devil, it is not a scum at all."
"Really?" He Changzhu said doubtfully, "Is it really that powerful?"
"Why are you lying to me?" the soldier said sternly, "once, I suppressed a Japanese heavy machine gun squadron with just one Gatling shot, and beat them so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads!"
This is true, but the soldier didn't say that his firepower only lasted a minute.
Hearing what the soldier said, He Changzhu couldn't help but not believe it, and he became even more envious at the moment.
"Donkey Ball said." He Changzhu said with great envy, "Whenever I can build a machine gun like this, it will be so beautiful." With a roll of his eyes, He Changzhu suddenly said, "Hey, big brother,
How about we make a deal, I'll give you a horse in exchange for this machine gun, an absolutely authentic Japanese horse."
"Come on," said the soldier, "I won't trade for ten Oriental horses."
He Changzhu was very disappointed, no matter how much chips he had, he couldn't get it out.
While the two were talking, the sweet potato hidden in a big tree in front suddenly spoke a series of sign language to the back. The soldier immediately turned his face and said: "The Japanese are coming!"
He Changzhu immediately cheered up and opened the nose of the shell gun.
A moment later, through the sparse bushes, He Changzhu saw about a squad of Japanese soldiers running along the road. After walking a certain distance, the group of Japanese soldiers suddenly stopped and opened fire violently on both sides.
If they had been replaced by someone who was not experienced enough, they would have doubted whether they had been exposed, but both Langya and the Southern Hebei Division Special Agent Company were veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles, so they were not moved at all.
One soldier was even hit by a stray bullet, but he didn't make a sound.
After discovering that there was no movement, the Japs in this class pushed forward along the highway again.
Not long after the Japanese who opened the way passed, a large group of Japanese troops came over in a mighty manner.
He Changzhu drooled when he looked at the Japs driving past on the highway, especially after seeing the Type 92 heavy machine guns, crooked-handled light machine guns, and 80-caliber mortars that the Japs were carrying or carrying on their shoulders.
Wow, donkey said, so many tough guys will soon become the equipment of their special agent company!
At a certain moment, with the sound of a beep, four fire teams and twelve Gatling machine guns opened fire violently at the same time. In an instant, the dense bullets were like a gust of wind, pouring towards the Japanese on the road.
, the little devils who were caught off guard immediately fell down one by one.
After firing three hundred bullets from a bullet chain, at least one-third of the Japs on the road fell!
The remaining three hundred or so Japs have not yet reacted, and are still confused. After all, this is a small Japs's security force, and the quality of individual soldiers is incomparable to that of the Japs in a field division.
PS: In this hot weather, coupled with my son's official leave and having to accompany him to basketball lessons, I really can't stand the third watch. Although the swordsman is a full-time professional, he is a handicapped person, so the second watch will become the norm. Wait until the weather cools down.
Sorry, we will resume the third update. Please forgive me.
