"Comrades, the Japs already have countermeasures against our sneak attacks. I have decided to change the sneak attack method to make the Japs' firepower advantage useless!" The third company commander frowned and analyzed.
Then he began to issue orders: "Now we have two light machine guns left. I decided to dispatch an infantry platoon for a sneak attack and divide it into at least six combat groups. Two of them are equipped with machine guns. They will retreat with one strike to distract the Japanese counterattack firepower.
Reduce our losses!"
"Bang bang...ta da da..."
Soon, a burst of chaotic and short gunshots rang out around the Japanese and puppet troops.
Bullets coming from all directions made it impossible for the Japanese and puppet troops to hide, and seven or eight people were killed and wounded in one fell swoop.
"Baga! Enemy attack, counterattack immediately: mortars, heavy machine guns, shoot immediately, kill them!" the Japanese squadron leader subconsciously shouted.
However, the Japanese who carried out the order were very confused.
There were at least six counterattack targets around, and the squadron leader's orders were not very clear. No one knew which target they should counterattack against.
With great difficulty, under the command of several lieutenants and sergeants, they were able to locate four of the targets and launch a counterattack. The Eighth Route Army that attacked them had already reached dozens of meters away.
In the ensuing march, various levels of sneak attacks appeared around the Japanese.
After finally reaching the next village, the captain had to face a cruel reality.
"Sir, 21 people from the Imperial Army were killed in the battle, 16 were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, and 19 people from the Imperial Army were injured or killed!" the adjutant reported in a serious tone, with a very ugly look on his face!
"Bageya Road, once I gather the food, I will definitely find them and make them pay with blood~" the captain scolded with a stern face.
"Get food first! Wang Sang, let's stick to the old method and ask the village to hand over 50,000 kilograms of food. When the time comes, we will personally escort this batch of food back!"
In less than an hour, all 50,000 kilograms of grain were piled in the threshing floor at the entrance of the village.
With more than a dozen large carts snatched from the village, and the puppet troops shouldering resistance against the enemy's backs, the Japanese army returned to their stronghold with food.
"Battal Commander, this time the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops personally escorted the food back, and sent a large number of reconnaissance troops to conduct investigations along the way. Among them were Japanese special forces. We could hardly find a chance to ambush them!" The reconnaissance squad leader found Xiong Changhe and frowned.
Brow reported.
"Then don't ambush them, just make a sneak attack!" Xiong Changhe made a decisive decision!
"All three companies are free to move. I don't care whether you fight the Japanese reconnaissance troops or the main Japanese forces on the road. It takes nearly three hours for the Japanese to return to their stronghold from here. I ask you to kill at least ten Japanese from each company."
!”
"Firepower company, directly affiliated troops, follow me and go directly to the Japanese stronghold!"
Including the puppet troops, the stronghold has a total of more than 500 people. Due to the presence of food-grabbing troops, the number of people directly exceeded 1,300, making it very crowded.
After the Japanese troops arrived at the outskirts of the stronghold in advance, they saw that two to three hundred meters around the stronghold was empty flat land, with no hiding place at all. Chen Yang, the commander of the firepower company, suddenly frowned.
"Battal Commander, the Japs are so cunning. They have cleared away all the bushes and obstacles around the stronghold. As long as we attack, we have to be exposed to their firepower and rush forward two to three hundred meters. We are completely a living target for the Japs!"
"So I have no intention of attacking this stronghold!" Xiong Changhe's expression did not change much.
"Commander, are you bringing us here?" Chen Yang didn't understand and asked with a frown.
"Kill the Japs, one at a time. The Japs don't have many troops. After a while, they will find that the price they pay for food is no less than launching a large-scale siege. When they lose enough, they realize that something is wrong.
, the time for us to fight back has arrived!" Xiong Changhe replied with a mysterious smile on his face.
This is the most important content in Wang Ping's second telegram to Xiong Changhe.
There is no doubt that Xiong Changhe has understood Wang Ping's strategic thinking in this battle and has begun to take action!
Chen Yang had an expression that seemed to understand, but facing the surrounding terrain, he still frowned and asked: "But here, we can't even get close to the Japanese stronghold, so how can we kill the Japanese?"
"Use your heavy machine guns and mortars to kill~" Xiong Changhe answered directly.
"The Japanese would never have imagined that we would have the guts to sneak attack them outside their stronghold. Therefore, entering the stronghold must be the time when the Japanese and puppet troops are most relaxed and least vigilant!"
"The firepower company has six heavy machine guns, with an effective range of far more than three hundred meters. You choose the machine gun position and aim all the guns at the gate of the stronghold. After more than half of the Japanese and puppet troops who are out to grab food enter the stronghold, fire directly.
Gun, kill them with heavy machine gun fire!"
"The artillery platoon also took action this time. Three mortars were all aimed at the open space in the middle of the stronghold. After the Japanese and puppet troops entered the stronghold, they must have gathered in the open space to rest. I remember that each gun carried five rounds of shells, all of which were
Call me."
"As soon as the heavy machine gun fires, the three rows will fire, and after the shooting is over, retreat and move!"
"The Japs in the stronghold also have cannons, don't let them target you!"
"Two heavy machine gun platoons. Each heavy machine gun shoots all the bullets in the two bullet plates, and then moves and retreats. You can't be reluctant to fight!"
The Japanese captain was not in a good mood at all. Although he had brought back 50,000 kilograms of grain, the sound of gunfire almost never stopped ringing in his ears on the entire way back to the stronghold. There were those from the Eighth Route Army sneak attack troops and some from his own subordinates.
The three infantry companies sometimes took turns to go into battle, sometimes they went together. The Japanese security troops, reconnaissance troops, rear troops, and even the special forces cooperating in the operation were all targets of sneak attacks by the three companies.
Hidden outside the detection range of the Japanese and puppet troops, they concentrated their firepower and fired. Although the shooting distance was more than a hundred meters, and sometimes even two to three hundred meters, a blind cat could kill a mouse, and it could also kill one or two Japanese.
At the end of the battle, several companies directly used grenade launchers to launch grenades from a distance, and then ran away without giving the Japanese any chance to counterattack.
It wasn't until the captain could see the stronghold that the gunfire stopped.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army that attacked us must have retreated!" the adjutant general reported with a sigh of relief.
"All the coverts three hundred meters around the stronghold have been cleared. If the Eighth Route Army wants to continue to sneak attack us with light infantry weapons, it must be exposed in front of us and withstand the powerful counterattack firepower of the imperial army. They are too cunning, they must have seen this clearly
Only at one point did I choose to retreat!"
Although the captain's face looked much better, his tone of voice still contained a lot of anger. He frowned and cursed: "Bagoya Road, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely ask my superiors to double and triple all the important roads in China."
All obstacles and concealments within a hundred meters must be cleared away, leaving no way for the Eighth Route Army to sneak up on us!"
"Order the troops to seize the opportunity to enter the stronghold, have a good rest today, and continue to enter the Eighth Route Army base area to grab food tomorrow!"
Xiong Changhe stayed at the machine gun position of the fire company, holding his binoculars and staring motionlessly at the Japanese and puppet troops on the road.
Chen Yang next to him was very excited. After watching for a while, he shouted excitedly: "Battal Commander, the three companies must have killed a lot of Japanese and puppet troops. There were a lot more stretchers and corpses in the Japanese team. They must have belonged to the two companies."
Result!"
"Good fight, now it depends on your firepower!" Xiong Changhe was very satisfied with the result.
"All the puppet troops have been moved to the front to carry food and carry the wounded. Behind them is a reinforced team of Japanese soldiers. The firepower company will attack this reinforced team!"
