"I agree. If I have the chance, I will definitely kill him and try not to let him enter Linfen!" Tang Guangxin replied with deep approval.
Then he frowned and analyzed: "It's just that, in the next operation, we can't use landmines casually!"
"Then don't use landmines for the time being and use other weapons!" Li Wen answered without much hesitation.
As the captain of the direct team trained by Wang Ping, he had dozens, if not hundreds, of various ways to sneak attack the Japanese in his mind. Therefore, although Major General Kawaguchi's ruthlessness made him worried about the future of the base area,
, he is still full of confidence in the action in front of him!
Staring at Tang Guangxin, he ordered: "Use artillery. Didn't we bring a platoon of three mortars over? Let them set up the artillery and fire three rounds of rapid fire at the Japanese infantry on the road.
Then retreat quickly!"
"No problem!" Tang Guangxin's frown suddenly relaxed.
"Woooooo..." The screams of three mortar shells streaking across the sky were very faint, and not many Japanese soldiers noticed.
In addition, the time for the shells to streak through the sky was very short, and it passed in the blink of an eye. By the time they realized the danger, they lay down on the ground subconsciously.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Three violent explosions sounded around them.
Two artillery shells hit the road directly, and the flying fragments of the artillery shells instantly destroyed five or six Japanese soldiers around them.
At this time, a scene that shocked Li Wen appeared.
The Japanese around the explosion point reached an agreement, and before the second round of shells came down, they all lay down on both sides of the road, holding their heads.
The Japanese who are further away should lie down on the spot, place their guns on the ground and prepare for battle.
What shocked Li Wen the most was that the Japanese artillerymen started setting up artillery on the road without waiting for orders.
"Boom boom boom..."
Three more explosions sounded around the highway.
This time, Li Wen did not see the scene of the Japanese being blown away. But Li Wen was sure that even if the Japanese were lying on the ground, this round of shelling would have achieved results.
The bombardment was over in less than twenty minutes!
By the time the Japanese set up their artillery and began to counterattack, the artillery platoon had already moved dozens of meters away.
Major General Kawaguchi looked through the binoculars and watched the mortar platoon retreat with a sullen expression. He did not put down the binoculars until dozens of Eighth Route Army troops were completely out of sight.
At this time, the adjutant Major Ikeda rushed over. Seeing that Kawaguchi's face was not good, he hesitated and reported: "Sir, in the artillery attack just now, we lost a total of 11 imperial troops, seven were killed directly, and four were injured and lost.
We may not be able to continue marching due to our combat effectiveness."
"Bageya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army even used mortars, it's so deceptive!" Major General Kawaguchi finally got angry and cursed with a stern face.
After finishing, he ordered: "All the wounded and the bodies of the dead soldiers will be sent to the baggage troops and transported in baggage trucks!"
"Order the cavalry brigade and reconnaissance squadron to expand the scope of investigation. The entire two-kilometer area on both sides of the highway must be investigated clearly to ensure that there are no sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Also, contact the aviation force now and deploy aircraft to escort us overhead continuously. Once the Eighth Route Army troops are discovered around us, no matter how many there are, launch an attack directly from the sky!"
"The cavalry brigade will allocate a squadron to serve as the mobile unit of the entire army, and then allocate a mixed squadron to cooperate in combat. As soon as the Eighth Route Army sneak attack troops appear again, attack immediately. The cavalry and infantry will cooperate with each other to kill them!"
"However, during the attack, the troops cannot chase them too far alone. Five kilometers away. If they are not killed after five kilometers from the road, give up the pursuit and retreat!"
The Japanese had their own countermeasures, and Li Wen came up with new methods to attack them secretly.
The troops who could have marched thirty kilometers a day, stopped and stopped along the way, but only covered less than ten kilometers.
"Bageya Road, walking like this is too slow. We must find a way to solve the problem of sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army!" Major General Kawaguchi frowned and cursed as he looked at the sky slowly darkening above his head.
Adjutant Major Ikeda also knew that Major General Kawaguchi was angry, so he hesitated before asking: "General, would you like to call all the captains over and let everyone think about it, maybe we can come up with a solution!"
"Okay!" Major General Kawaguchi replied with a frown.
He casually ordered: "The terrain here is flat, and there are not even hills for several kilometers around. It is impossible to hide people. We will be stationed here tonight, notify the troops, and start setting up camp now!"
What Major General Kawaguchi didn't expect was that the sneak attacks he encountered during the day were all Li Wen's small tests against them. The real sneak attacks would only begin tonight.
"Platoon Commander Tang, how are the horses in the hands of the Japanese Cavalry Brigade!" As soon as the Japanese army stopped, the direct team and reconnaissance platoon that had been following them also stopped. Li Wen, who was slightly out of breath, half-jokingly and half-seriously said to Tang Guangxin
asked.
"Nothing to say!" Tang Guangxin's face showed a look of envy from the bottom of his heart.
"The horses equipped by the cavalry battalion are all captured Japanese cavalry. They are fat and healthy, and they are all good horses!"
"If we could have one man per man, today's sneak attack would be much easier!"
Li Wen recognized Tang Guangxin's answer and answered without any hesitation: "Okay, tonight, we will try to kill a group of Japanese cavalry and capture some horses, so that every soldier will have a horse tomorrow..."
"Is there a big operation tonight?" Tang Guangxin reacted quickly and asked, staring at Li Wen with bright eyes.
"Not bad!" Li Wen affirmed.
"There are Imp planes overhead during the day, so many tricks cannot be used. Now that the Imp plane has left and it's dark again, it's time for us to show off our capabilities. I decided to kill a mobile unit of the Imps tonight!"
At ten o'clock in the evening, more than four thousand little Japanese, including Major General Kawaguchi, all had lunch.
Ordinary Japanese soldiers were ready to rest after eating, but Major General Kawaguchi did not. Neither did the several captains. They all gathered in Major General Kawaguchi's tent to grab food and crack the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla war.
"Boom boom boom..."
Suddenly, three explosions sounded in the middle of the station and reached their ears.
The frowning people stood up from their seats and rushed out of the tent at the same time.
The station of four thousand people was very large, so the explosion point was more than a hundred meters away from them.
Despite this, several people seemed to feel the powerful power of the explosion, and their faces turned gloomy.
Just like during the day, the artillerymen quickly set up their guns and prepared for counterattack.
As a cavalry squadron of the regiment's mobile force, less than a hundred Japanese cavalry rushed out of the station in a mighty manner, holding torches and rushing toward the artillery position more than a thousand meters away!
