Wang Ping also stared at Zhong Yusheng, and then asked the question he was most concerned about: "How many people did the Japs leave to protect the wounded, and how is their equipment?"
Zhong Yusheng's excited expression just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by worry and solemnity.
Then he replied in a serious tone: "There are only more than thirty intact Japanese soldiers, but they are well equipped. It will definitely be more difficult than we imagined to break into Zougang Village."
"More than thirty Japanese soldiers are equipped with a mortar, a heavy machine gun, three crooked handles, and two grenade launchers. If they have enough ammunition, they will definitely be able to defend Zougang Village impregnably!"
"Japs are very smart!" Wang Ping suddenly said something that neither Zhong Yusheng nor Zhang Qing could understand.
Wang Ping followed up and analyzed: "With such powerful firepower, we will definitely not be our opponents if we are to defend and attack by force. If we do not do well, the main force of the Japs can return to support Zougang Village, surround us outside the village, and eliminate us!"
Wang Ping saw the Japanese conspiracy at a glance, and then he kept a calm face and said nothing!
Zhang Qing, who finally waited for the Japs to divide their forces, didn't care about the number of troops and shouted directly: "Company Commander, no matter how good the equipment is, it still needs people to operate it. There are more than thirty Japs. As long as we kill them, those weapons will be ours."
Yes, the wounded soldiers left in the village by the Japanese are also the fat in our mouths!"
"The Japanese have mortars, grenades, heavy machine guns and crooked guns. With such powerful firepower, we don't even have a chance to get close to them. How can we destroy them!" Zhong Yusheng expressed his worries.
At this time, Wang Ping spoke.
"The Japs' firepower is so strong that even if they bring a battalion of the main force, they may not be able to defeat them. However, the Japs also have weaknesses, which Zhang Qing just analyzed. As long as we make good use of this weakness and seize the opportunity, not only can we get close to them,
You can also eat them.”
The two people's eyes immediately shifted to Wang Ping, waiting for Wang Ping to say more.
"Zougang Village is not big, but it is a huge monster to the more than thirty Japs! Most of the more than thirty Japs have to operate heavy weapons, and there are more than a dozen riflemen who can patrol and guard. Therefore, the Japs must
It's impossible to defend the entire Zougang Village, the best thing to do is to defend one or two people, and then send a few riflemen to patrol around the village!"
"This little guard post will definitely not be able to guard the entire Zougang Village. As soon as it gets dark, we can sneak into the village. If we are lucky, we can also quietly kill the guard posts placed around the village by the Japanese!"
"The courtyards in the village are one after another. As long as we enter the village, we can bypass the Japanese and attack them from behind, making the heavy weapons in their hands useless!"
The Japs commander who stayed behind in Zougang Village was a second lieutenant. As soon as the main force left, he began to set up defenses centered on the courtyard where the wounded were. Heavy machine guns and crooked guns were all set up at the surrounding commanding heights with the best shooting range.
Grenades and mortars were left in the yard with the wounded to provide artillery support to the troops at any time.
Of the twelve riflemen, four were stationed in the yard to assist the medical soldiers in caring for the wounded. The remaining eight riflemen were divided into four security groups, responsible for patrolling the borders in the four directions of the village.
With such a thorough deployment, the squad leader was confident that as long as the Eighth Route Army dared to come, they would be beaten to death.
Of course, if the Tubalu who are eyeing oneself are smart, they will take the initiative to give up attacking themselves and let themselves wait safely until the main force returns to support. The two forces will live in peace and not invade each other.
Not to mention, the team leader’s goal was achieved.
At the end of the day, Tuba Road figures did appear around the village. However, no Eighth Route Army troops dared to attack them. This made the team leader more confident in his arrangements.
Although the team leader also knew that it was important whether Tubalu would attack him tonight. However, the safety during the day had made him confident, and he was confident that Tubalu would not dare to provoke him even at night.
What he didn't expect was that this self-confidence would invisibly infect his subordinates. But when it reached his subordinates, the self-confidence turned into arrogance.
As darkness slowly enveloped Zougang Village, the eight Japanese soldiers on guard outside the village forgot to be vigilant at some point. They huddled in groups of two by the campfire to keep warm, unaware that the danger was approaching them.
At this time, a six-man team composed entirely of veterans, under the command of Wang Ping, easily entered from a corner of the village, and then went straight to the nearest Japanese guard post.
Facing the warmth of the campfire, the two Japanese soldiers who were already very tired became even more tired.
As their double eyelids begin to fight, their vigilance to their surroundings is reduced to a minimum.
At this moment, two skilled veterans suddenly touched behind them. Before the two Japanese soldiers could react, they quickly drew out their swords and stabbed two shining bayonets into their chests.
The other hand covered their mouths tightly to prevent them from making any sound.
In the blink of an eye, the two Japanese soldiers fell into the arms of the two veterans with despair and unwillingness.
It took nearly two hours to defeat all eight warning posts placed by the Japanese army in four directions of the village, and they were stabbed to death next to the bonfire.
"Notify the troops when they enter the village, they must stay hidden and don't wake up the Japs in the village!" Wang Ping, who looked at the last two Japs entities, with gleaming eyes, immediately ordered.
Then he led the small team towards the courtyard where the Japanese were protecting the wounded.
"Company Commander, those four commanding heights are Japanese machine gun positions. The highest one is the heavy machine gun position, guarded by five Japanese. The other three crooked machine gun positions are guarded by three Japanese each. The remaining Japanese are all hiding.
In the courtyard, with the wounded!" As soon as he touched the vicinity of the courtyard, Zhong Yusheng pointed to four points around the courtyard and introduced.
Wang Ping looked thoughtful and analyzed: "We just killed eight Japs, fourteen more Japs from the four machine gun positions, which means that there are only a dozen Japs intact in the yard, and most of them are artillerymen."
?”
After receiving Zhong Yusheng's affirmation, Wang Ping's eyes quickly shot out two rays of light, and then he answered with certainty: "There is a way to capture the Japanese injury camp. Let's retreat first and wait for the main force to come!"
