The platoon leader's face did not show any smile of surviving the disaster because he escaped back to the stronghold alive. Instead, his expression was complicated, feeling helpless and aggrieved.
Then he took a dozen of his so-called subordinates and went inside the turret.
When the puppet soldiers guarding the door of the gun tower realized that something was wrong, and that the entire row, except for the platoon leader, was filled with unfamiliar faces, the muzzle of a rifle was already pointed at his head.
"Don't move, we are the Eighth Route Army, you have been captured, hand over the gun, or I will blow your head off!" the soldier holding the rifle in his hand reminded in a low voice.
"Fooled!" The puppet soldier finally reacted. Then he thought of the helpless expressions of the platoon leader passing by him.
Staring at each other, he was shocked and helpless and asked: "You are the Eighth Route Army, which platoon is that?"
"Just like you, they have all become prisoners of our new regiment!" After saying this, the soldier unloaded the rifle of the puppet army.
Caught off guard, the five or six puppet troops on the first floor of the gun tower were all taken prisoner.
After climbing to the empty second floor of the turret, they continued to climb to the third floor and the top of the turret without stopping.
Soon, all the dozens of puppet troops hiding in the gun tower were captured, including the puppet company commander!
"Captain, it's done, Captain Xiong sent a signal: The troops successfully occupied the Japanese stronghold and are cleaning the battlefield!" As soon as he saw the signal coming from the gun tower, Second Company Commander Xiao Yunshan rushed to Wang Ping and reported, with an excited look on his face.
"The company did a good job. Let's go into the gun tower and take stock of the harvest. The Zhoutang Town stronghold is a medium-sized Japanese stronghold. There must be a lot of good stuff!"
As soon as he entered the stronghold, Xiong Changhe rushed over happily.
"Captain, we are getting rich, we are getting rich!"
"You don't know, there is a small arsenal and a material warehouse in the Zhoutang Town stronghold. There are a lot of bullets and grains stored in it. There are ten boxes and fifty boxes of unboxed rifles!"
When he was in the Independent Regiment, Wang Ping would never have given these weapons and ammunition a second glance.
But things are different now, the new group is poor.
Rifles, machine guns, bullets, food... As long as the enemy has it, they lack everything.
No, as soon as Xiong Changhe finished speaking, two rays of light shot out from Xiao Yunshan's face next to him. He wanted to rush to the arsenal immediately to see what was going on.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
For the New Regiment, there was indeed a lot of food and ammunition stored in the ammunition depot and material warehouse. After reading this, Xiao Yunshan's face immediately lit up with joy.
"Captain, what should we do with these weapons, ammunition and food? Should we find a place to bury them or use other methods to dispose of them. There are too many things. If we want to bury them, we must hurry up and find a place that is hidden!"
"There are still prisoners, including those we captured outside the stronghold, a total of 93 people. How to deal with them? We can't lead them to fight along the way!"
"We definitely can't take them with us. If they bite us back on the battlefield, we won't even know who to look for if we cry!" Wang Ping shook his head and refused.
Then he frowned and fell into deep thought.
After thinking for five minutes, a smile reappeared on Wang Ping's face.
"Let's go back directly!" Wang Ping said in shock.
"Going back after only two days? Aren't we going to disrupt the Japs outside the mountain? Commander, are you sure you're not mistaken!" Xiong Changhe frowned and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Yes! Captain, we have only fought for two days and are going back too soon!" Xiao Yunshan asked closely.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the implication was very clear that he didn't want to go back.
"Who told you that we are going back? I just said that these prisoners and captured people should be sent back!" Wang Ping asked angrily.
Xiong Changhe directly retorted: "If we don't go back, how can we go back with these prisoners and seizures? Commander, don't be kidding us. The Japanese have suffered heavy losses from us twice on the blockade, and all of them lost their troops. They will definitely not suffer again this time."
.Even if we send back the prisoners and captures, it will be difficult to come out again!"
"Yes, leader, you can't enter. Once you go in, it will be difficult to come out again!" Xiao Yunshan added immediately.
Wang Ping smiled, very happily.
Although Xiong Changhe and Xiao Yunshan were questioning their orders, behind the doubts they wanted to stay outside and fight.
From being afraid to go out to fight a few days ago, now I want to stay outside and fight, and I don't want to go back.
Tell Wang Ping directly with the facts that they are no longer afraid of the Japanese.
After taking a deep breath, he answered with certainty: "Don't worry, the reason why we chose this time to send these supplies and prisoners back is because it is indeed very inconvenient to take them to fight. In addition, there is another reason,
I want to create an illusion to the Japs outside the mountain who are frantically chasing us, that we have withdrawn to the mountain."
"I understand!" Xiong Changhe finally showed a look of realization on his face.
"Once the Japanese think we have entered the mountain, they will stop raiding and searching for us. Then we can attack them and attack them without restraint outside the mountain!"
After saying that, Xiong Changhe stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Captain, how should we fight?"
"Li Wen!" Wang Ping ordered decisively without much hesitation.
"Go back immediately, find Battalion Commander Zhong, and ask him to use all the troops available in the mountain and bring all the light and heavy machine guns to attack the two strongholds on the Japanese blockade. You must remember to attack this stronghold first. Twenty
Then attack another stronghold in a few minutes."
"I just saw a war horse behind the stronghold. You ride on it and tell Battalion Commander Zhong the news as quickly as possible. It's nine o'clock in the evening. Try to launch an attack on the Japanese at these two points at two o'clock in the morning!"
"Captain Xiong, Commander Xiao, you two cooperate with each other and load the supplies, equipment and ammunition of the stronghold into trucks as soon as possible, and let the puppet troops carry the extra. Arrive at the stronghold at 1:30 in the morning at the latest, leave half an hour to prepare, and then
Launch an attack on the stronghold."
Because he had to cross the Japanese blockade, it took Li Wen three hours to find Zhong Chenggong, and half of that time was spent crossing the blockade.
After Wang Ping led the team to leave Dashan, Yang Huping's third company was changed to a recruit company by Zhong Chenggong.
After more than 60 people mobilized from the prisoners were added to the third company, the third company suddenly became the largest infantry company in the new regiment. One veteran led three recruits for training.
Although these talents have been trained for less than two days, the puppet troops have been trained after all, and many of them have been on the battlefield. They have already become effective in just two days. But Zhong Chenggong knows his own affairs, and these people want to
It is still very difficult to truly become a member of the Eighth Route Army and there is a long way to go.
