After the order was issued, the platoon leader was not as happy as usual to summon his subordinates.
You know, when we used to go out to plunder chickens, ducks, beef, and mutton for the Japanese, as a battlefield executor, the platoon leader would be able to plunder a lot of silver coins every time.
Therefore, in the past, the platoon commanders were the happiest when they heard that they were going out for raids.
The performance of the platoon leader in front of him obviously exceeded the expectations of company commander Wang Decai.
Then he stared at the platoon leader and asked: "Why, did you get less benefits from going out to sweep up the front? You didn't even follow my orders!"
The platoon leader quickly shook his head and explained: "How could it be? Company commander, even if I die, I, Lao Zhang, will not resist your order. However, we launched an attack some time ago, and the surrounding villages have been swept aside by us. In such a short period of time, those common people
It’s definitely not recovered yet. Even if we go to raid, we still won’t be able to grab what Taijun Nakata wants, and the brothers won’t be able to get any money either!”
Wang Decai's face looked good, and then he frowned and replied: "You are right! However, we must carry out the order of Taijun Nakata, otherwise our life will definitely be difficult in the future!"
"Now that the surrounding villages have been raided, let's go farther away! We'll raid the villages in the direction of Lingqiu. They haven't been raided by the imperial army yet. We'll definitely be able to get a lot of good stuff!"
The platoon leader's eyes lit up at first, and just when he was about to give the order, he frowned again, and then reminded him with a worried look on his face!
"Company Commander, I heard that there are Eighth Route Army guerrillas operating over there. I'm worried about the danger! How about we bring the machine guns assigned to us by the Imperial Army, and then bring more Imperial Army troops. With luck, we can also eliminate a few guerrillas.
Eighth Route Guerrillas, let the brothers also gain some military exploits!"
Traitors are afraid of death, and the more hardcore the traitor is, the more afraid they are of death. This is a truth that has not changed since ancient times.
When it was mentioned that there was an Eighth Route Army in the direction of Lingqiu, company commander Wang Decai showed a frightened expression on his face, and then gave a cautious order.
"Take two platoons, and your platoon must go. They are all old brothers. They can be relied on even if they encounter Tubal Road. Bring the machine guns as well, the more bullets the better. As for the imperial army, I will go and ask Second Lieutenant Nakata for instructions immediately.
Try to get him to send out a combat unit with a machine gun and a grenade launcher. With this kind of firepower, even if we encounter someone on Tubal Road, we don’t have to be afraid!"
The platoon leader finally felt relieved and immediately replied: "Yes, company commander, I will go and gather the troops right away!"
Second Lieutenant Nakata also longs for military success, but guarding Shuiquan Village, it is obviously not that easy to obtain.
Hearing Wang Decai say that today's raid may encounter Tubal Road, Second Lieutenant Nakata's eyes immediately shot out two rays of light. Without thinking, he agreed to Wang Decai's request and sent out a combat unit to cooperate with the puppet troops in the raid.
Twenty Japanese soldiers plus sixty-five puppet troops, under the command of Wang Decai, fought their way out of Shuiquan Village.
As soon as the Japanese and puppet troops were dispatched, the independent battalion guard platoon staring at Shuiquan Village was divided into three.
The two people were staring at the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Shuiquan Village. The two veterans followed the Japanese and puppet troops to determine their target for today's raid. The two veterans quickly moved towards the woods where the Independence Battalion was hiding.
"You said that the Japanese and puppet troops dispatched 70 or 80 people and headed towards Laohe Village!" Wang Ping, who was a little impatient to wait after hearing the report from the veteran guard platoon, quickly turned to his eyes after hiding here for two days.
Shoot out two rays of light.
"Yes, but there are only about twenty real Japs. They are equipped with two machine guns, a grenade launcher, and each person has a rifle. They have 38-inch caps and old sleeves..."
The instructor Cheng Xiao's eyes also lit up, he stared at Wang Ping and asked.
"Batalion Commander, how should we fight!"
"Wait for them to go far away, and eat them through an ambush. There are not many Japs, so if you can do it without machine guns, don't use them. As for heavy machine guns and mortars, they must not be used!" Wang Ping made a decision immediately.
In a hilly area nearly ten miles away from Shuiquan Village, the official road that the Japanese and puppet troops must pass through all extends along the foot of the mountain.
As for the mountainside and ridge next to the official road, the places where food can be grown have been turned into cultivated land, with uncut corn stalks still growing on it. The places where food cannot be grown are covered with patches of low bushes.
Similarly, due to seasonal reasons, these bushes have only one color, which is withered yellow!
And under this withered yellow cover, more than 160 riflemen from the Independent Battalion, wearing similar khaki military uniforms, lurked here.
Because many soldiers are still covered with withered grass, and the colors of their military uniforms blend in with nature. Even if you walk five or six meters away, you won't be able to spot the independent battalion soldiers lying on the ground unless you pay close attention.
The seemingly harmless hills hide a huge murderous potential.
However, the Japanese and puppet troops who were fighting all the way did not know this clearly.
A platoon of puppet soldiers led the way, with Japanese soldiers in the middle, and a platoon of puppet soldiers reared up. The Japanese puppet soldiers, whose formation was nearly fifty meters long, were not prepared to walk into the trap prepared for them by the Independence Battalion.
Wang Ping was also lying in the middle of the independent camp holding a rifle. Watching the Japanese and puppet troops getting closer and closer, Wang Ping immediately began to adjust the muzzle of the rifle in his hand and search for the shooting target through the rifle's sight.
Wang Decai, the puppet company commander who was following the Japanese sergeant, was quickly found by Wang Ping and his head was put into the crosshairs.
The reason why he chose Wang Decai instead of the Japanese Army Cao was that, in Wang Ping's opinion, a complete traitor leader might pose a much greater threat to him than the Japanese Army Soldier.
Another reason is that many of the puppet troops now surrender to the Japanese along with their commanders on the battlefield.
In the eyes of many puppet soldiers, they actually do not recognize their status as puppet soldiers. However, due to the general trend, they have to wear the skin of puppet soldiers under the threat of their superiors.
If he could be the first to kill the puppet company commander, it would definitely have a huge impact on the morale of the puppet army.
If you are lucky, without the company commander, the remaining puppet troops on the battlefield may directly start an uprising on the battlefield!
The three sharpshooters carefully selected by Wang Ping put the machine gunners and grenade gloves among the Japanese and puppet troops into the crosshairs. Exactly two of the three were staring at the two machine guns, and the remaining one was staring at the Japanese grenades.
The barrel operator ensures that the machine gun and grenade barrel do not sound.
The remaining riflemen, under the command of the veterans around them, four or five people aimed at a Japanese soldier or an officer equipped with a pistol among the puppet troops to ensure that they were eliminated as soon as the battle began.
As for ordinary puppet soldiers, in Wang Ping's opinion, the main thing is to recruit and surrender!
