"Go and collect all the equipment on the Japs, including their military uniforms. Then let the surrendered puppet troops dig holes and bury them here to use as fertilizer!" Wang Ping ordered, pointing to the corpse not far away.
When the ordinary soldiers of the independent battalion began to work, several company commanders did not leave and all gathered around Wang Ping. Finally, Zeng Quan asked the question that everyone wanted to know the answer to.
"Battal Commander, I don't understand something! If you fight the Japanese, fight the Japanese. Why did you just ask us to bring back the Japanese corpses?"
"With so many of us, we can even strip off the kid's clothes on the battlefield in time. There is no need to bring the body back. It's quite unlucky!"
Wang Ping no longer concealed anything and asked directly: "Do you know what the little devil is most afraid of?"
Zhao Wenhua, the instructor of the first company, obviously had some understanding of Japanese culture, and replied thoughtfully: "I have heard that the little devils are most afraid of dying without a complete body, and the bones cannot be sent back to the country. In that case, their souls cannot go back and reunite with them."
When family members are reunited, they will become what we often call lonely ghosts!"
"Yes, I just want to make the Japs outside the mountains fear us. Since the Japs commander is very cautious, he will definitely not send troops into the mountains to chase us. Of course, if he dares to send troops into the mountains, that's fine, we can easily
You can eat them!"
"After the little Japs become frightened and frightened, they will definitely not dare to go out on patrol anymore, and they will all huddle inside the military camp. At that time, we will have the opportunity to quietly approach the Jaap barracks, and then find a way to eat them!"
The old cadres of the independent battalion who had fought many victorious battles with Wang Ping all looked convinced when they saw Wang Ping. But the new cadres were different. Some were skeptical, some did not understand, and many people did not believe that the Japanese would really
Just do what Wang Ping says.
Wang Ping did not continue to explain. After ordering the troops to rest where they were, they immediately began to close their eyes to rest and restore their physical strength.
Less than an hour later, Zhong Yusheng, who was conducting reconnaissance outside, came back. After running all the way to Wang Ping, he reported with admiration: "Batalion Commander, your judgment was so accurate. The Japanese were really frightened by us.
I’m afraid that I won’t be able to see people when I’m alive, and I won’t be able to see my body when I die!”
"The Japs just gathered all the subordinates outside the military camp into the military camp. Now outside the temporary Japanese army station, except for the puppet troops, there is not a single Japs!"
The surrounding subordinates gathered around without Wang Ping's greeting. Needless to say, the veteran cadres of the independent battalion all looked at Wang Ping with a burning look on their faces.
In their impression, since the battalion commander was sure of the Japs from the beginning and judged what the Japs would do next, the battalion commander must have thought of a way to defeat the enemy.
The new cadres showed expressions of shock and admiration, and then looked at Wang Ping eagerly, wanting to see what this battalion commander who was rumored to be so amazing by the headquarters would do next!
"How are the forces of the puppet army distributed?" Wang Ping asked Zhong Yusheng before they were allowed to wait too long.
"There are a total of two companies of puppet troops. One company is responsible for guarding the prisoners and young men in the stronghold, and the other company is responsible for patrolling and guarding around the Japanese garrison. The patrol troops and guard troops are all based on squads, and guard the prisoners building gun towers.
The puppet troops were also scattered around the stronghold in squad units. Both companies were only equipped with one Czech-made rifle, and the rest were all rifles!" Zhong Yusheng poured beans out of a bamboo tube and immediately told all the information he had detected.
"After dark, eat these two companies and rescue all the prisoners and young men in the hands of the Japanese. Then we will continue our efforts and strive to capture the Japanese garrison before dawn and eliminate all the Japanese troops here!" Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he decided directly.
.
"The lion opens its mouth!" This was the subconscious first thought of some of the new cadres who had just joined the independent camp.
In their minds, it would be very difficult and almost impossible for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to use a main battalion to attack an infantry squadron of the Japanese army. What's more, a newly formed unit of the Independent Battalion would be eaten in one night.
Two puppet companies and a Japanese reinforced squadron equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars, and even infantry artillery.
But just when they were about to raise objections, they thought it was simply unrealistic.
Zhang Qing, the commander of the first company, seemed to have been stimulated by something, and shouted enthusiastically: "Great, we finally have to go head-to-head with the Japs. Battalion Commander, the Japs are equipped with infantry cannons. Will these two infantry cannons be captured after they are captured?"
Just stay in our independent camp!"
Wang Ping affirmed: "There are so many little devils between us and the military division. Even if we want to give it to the military division, the conditions do not allow it! What? Zhang Qing, what do you think?"
Zhang Qing quickly waved his hand and replied: "Batalion Commander, you are kidding. What can we think of? What I am thinking of are the two infantry cannons equipped by the Japanese. As long as we have infantry cannons, we will not need to use human lives when encountering the Japanese artillery towers in the future."
Go and fill it up, one gun tower at a time, and we will blast as many gun towers as the little devils build!"
"Batalion Commander, please give us an order on how we should fight. No matter what, we must seize the two infantry cannons from the Japs tonight!" the other two company commanders said in succession.
The three company commanders all stared at Wang Ping with fanatical expressions, trusting that Wang Ping could kill the Japanese troops here in one night. No matter how many worries these new cadres had, they could only suppress them in their hearts and say the words that just came to their lips.
Swallowed it back and waited to see what happened.
Wang Ping did not give them any explanation or analysis. In Wang Ping's view, the best way to make them believe in him and convince himself is to lead them to win the battle. You must know that many of them are older than him. If not,
They will never be convinced by his excellent military exploits with just a word of mouth.
Therefore, Wang Ping maintained his usual style and gave orders to his subordinates.
"Old Zeng, I will give you two companies, two and three, and use the method just now to eat up a company of the puppet army responsible for security patrols. There is still more than half an hour before dark, so I will give you an hour to prepare.
In an hour, launch the attack on time!"
"In addition, there are not many real traitors in the puppet army. When fighting, we will capture whatever we can. But we can't be merciful. The mortars in the hands of the Japanese are not vegetarian. We must fight quickly. After that, we will assemble here.
!”
"The others will follow me to sneak attack on the Japanese stronghold, eat another company of the puppet army, and then rescue all the prisoners and young men!"
After the puppet troops completely replaced the Japanese patrols in the surrounding areas, at first, all the puppet troops were nervous, fearing that they would also be attacked by the enemy, and then disappear without a trace.
But the puppet army was a puppet army after all. Because they were not attacked, their nerves relaxed after less than an hour.
At this time, the sky turned completely dark. If it were normal, they would be gathering around the tent to have dinner.
But not today, because they were responsible for patrolling the perimeter of the entire station, and they had to wait until everyone else had finished their dinner before they could eat. And because there was no one to rotate them, their dinner location was moved directly from the tent to the cold and windy wilderness.
Looking at the brightly lit station one kilometer away, few of the hungry puppet soldiers could still maintain their energy to patrol and guard.
At this moment, the independent battalion was taking advantage of the cover of night, forming a group of twenty-four people from two combat squads, and slowly moved toward the Japanese guard posts and patrols.
