Chapter 174 The New Year Pig Delivered to Your Door
Tang Dao was the first to emerge from the secret door.
Following him was Niu Er, a new soldier, no, he should also be a sergeant now, and the 'hammer' he carried on his back.
Hammer, now he is also a dog with status.
After spending several days in the tunnel, the vote was unanimously approved, and Hammer was awarded the rank of Private. The vest that Hammer was wearing was modified from a military uniform, but he had a Private collar badge.
Tang Dao and Niu Er carefully observed the darkness.
In the past three days, although everyone has been staying in the tunnel, they have not stopped eavesdropping on what is going on outside.
Human hearing is not enough to hear the situation on the ground through secret doors and underground several meters deep, but the 'hammer' can.
Private "Hammer", whose mouth was tied up with a cloth strip, seemed aggrieved to be released only when he was eating, but he had the responsible spirit of a military dog. Whenever he heard any movement, he would try to stand up and raise his ears and whisper.
He whined to remind Tang Dao and others.
Over at the Sihang Warehouse, the explosion successfully turned the entire building into rubble and there was no movement. However, the location of the exit was spotted by the Japanese army for some reason. There was frequent movement from the second day after entering the tunnel.
Obviously, this place was used as a base, which is why Tang Dao had to wait until the fourth night before venturing out even though he was anxious.
The Japanese army that was hit will definitely take strict precautions in the first few days. It is simply an impossible task for him and his more than 100 men to escape quietly.
But after a few days, things were different. Songhu had been completely occupied by the Japanese army. The west of Shanghai, which was more than 30 kilometers away, became the front line, but here it became the rear area of the Japanese army. Whoever it had been, it would not have been forever.
Stay on high alert.
Perhaps it was God's favor and Tang Dao's judgment was right again.
With the natural sonar of Hammer, Tang Dao and Niu Er entered the three-story building that had lost all its windows and only the building remained without much effort.
The Japanese army indeed regarded this place as a garrison.
It's normal to think that this area was originally destroyed by the war. Later, due to the attack and defense of Sihang Warehouse, the buildings within an area of more than 200 meters around the warehouse were basically destroyed. Who can live in a house that can shelter from the wind and rain?
Want to live in the wilderness?
Especially when a baggage team with a lot of supplies is here.
Yes, the nearly ten 1.5-ton trucks parked in the open space outside the building basically indicated the identity of the Japanese soldiers who had fallen asleep in Tang Dao's field of vision.
This should be a baggage train of the Japanese army.
When most people see a baggage train, they will subconsciously think that these guys are noobs. Just kill them, steal the truck, and run away at a fast pace.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Just from Tang Dao's observation, the current state of these guys was far different from the 36th Infantry Regiment that had fought bloody battles for several days.
Perhaps because they were behind their main position, the Japanese troops were surprisingly lax in their vigilance. Bonfires were lit inside or outside the building wherever soldiers were resting.
The bright bonfire dispelled the severe cold of late autumn in East China, but it exposed everyone's location.
As far as Tang Dao could see, he could already see three bonfires. At least forty Japanese soldiers were lying asleep beside the bonfires. He could even clearly see the facial expressions of the sleeping Japanese soldiers.
The baggage soldiers may have a certain gap compared to the main Japanese infantry in terms of combat, but these guys do not treat themselves badly because they have a mountain to eat and water to drink. Everyone has thick blankets under them, and they are surrounded by odor.
The warmth of the bonfire was enough to make the Japanese soldiers sleep soundly and deeply, with happy saliva even flowing from the corners of their mouths.
Even the two Japanese sentries who were on guard by the window looked like they were standing, but they were leaning against the wall with their shoulders pressed together. The two little faces wearing steel helmets seemed to come together. If
If you listen carefully, it seems that the breeze is carrying their happy little snores.
Looking forward to the future, this is a perfect pair of gay friends.
This was definitely the Japanese army with the most lax military discipline that Tang Dao had ever seen. However, Tang Dao's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
In fact, the strength of the Japanese army was a bit beyond his expectation.
According to the establishment of the Japanese army's baggage squadron, a baggage squadron has 30 to 40 trucks. Now there are ten trucks here, which is roughly a baggage squadron.
However, the organization of the Japanese baggage regiment is different from that of the combat regiment. There is no brigade under the baggage regiment, only two to three baggage squadrons, and one baggage squadron can reach 500 people.
After all, the baggage regiment is not only responsible for transporting various supplies for a huge division, but also has to replenish troops to the frontline troops when necessary.
That also means that the baggage team inside and outside this building alone has more than 100 people.
It's actually not difficult to kill these 100 people.
In order to overcome the fighting power of this group of Japanese troops, not to mention that there were still nearly a hundred iron-blooded soldiers like wolves and tigers in the tunnel, Tang Dao took the original third squad, touched the Japanese sentries, and threw a few bombs into the sleeping Japanese troops.
Hand grenades, basically only two or three big cats and kittens are left.
But the key point is that the Japanese have more than a hundred people here, but what about other places? It will be great for you to explode here. When the main force of the Japanese army hears the noise and rushes over, they will drown your hundreds of people with a mouthful of foam.
Already.
Do you want to ignore this group of Japanese troops and have a hundred people fully armed sneak away from the building silently? You took out your pocket watch and saw that the hour hand was already pointing to 1 a.m., and there were still five hours before dawn.
According to the target area that I have discussed with Lei Xiong Lengfeng and the others in the past few days, the straight-line distance from here is more than 25 kilometers. I want to arrive fully armed within five hours, and during this period, I have to bypass the Japanese defense lines. That is
Mission impossible.
The most scientific way is to deal with this group of Japanese soldiers, put on their uniforms, disguise as Japanese soldiers, and drive these trucks loaded with supplies, so that you can have a chance to leave here.
However, there must be no big movement.
After quietly observing for more than ten minutes, Tang Dao finally made up his mind to let Niu Er return to the tunnel first and let Lei Xiong and the others prepare for battle.
He himself quietly sneaked out of the building and walked deeper into the ruins under the cover of night.
Tang Dao wanted to find the nearest Japanese army garrison here, so as to determine the tactics to deal with this part of the Japanese army that was still sleeping sweetly.
However, Lei Xiong, who received the investigation information from Niu Er, had already issued a mobilization order inside the tunnel: "Brothers, get ready to work. Remember, you are not allowed to use bullets and grenades. I have to remove the bullets from the guns."
, not even a single one can be left. It’s not difficult, it’s just a bunch of Japs carrying heavy troops, just treat it like we’re killing a New Year pig, stab it through with a knife, drain the blood, and that’s it.”
"Sir, it's okay to kill the pig, but there's nothing we can do if the pig makes a noise." The soldiers unequivocally asked softly while repelling the bullets.
This is a difficult problem. No one can guarantee that the pigs will stop squealing after killing them. The soldier who asked the question must have had experience as a butcher. He knew very well that some stubborn pigs could still struggle after losing most of their blood.
It’s a long way to go!
"This..." Lei Xiong was an optimist and scratched his head. "Then it depends on our luck. If the other Japanese troops are too close, we will use this building to fight with the Japs again.
An offensive and defensive battle.”
Erya rolled her eyes silently.
He was extremely lucky that the current top commander of this army was not this fierce general. If there was another offensive and defensive battle, the lives of more than a hundred men would be lost here.
However, looking at everyone nodding in a matter-of-fact manner, it seems that this is right. If the Japanese discover it, are they not allowed to fight again? That's all.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Tang Dao to come back and bring good news.
The nearest Japanese military garrison is 1,000 meters away.
That also meant that as long as the Japanese didn't use guns and grenades and shouted loudly, their screams would not reach the ears of the Japanese soldiers over there.
Erya still underestimated Lei Xiong. Veterans who had been trained in the army for ten years were not only brave and foolhardy. Before Tang Dao came back, Lei Xiong had already decided to let Li Jijin, who had been the squad leader, go to the third platoon and the third squad.
Perform a special task.
Steal the gun!
The Japanese army likes to pile up guns. Not only Tang Dao knows this, but also the veterans who have fought with the Japanese army for several months know this.
First, they sent people to hide their guns, and then a row of soldiers rushed over with guns in hand. They were definitely wolves among the sheep. They stabbed them to death at random.
While Tang Dao gave a thumbs up, he gave everyone in the third class some weird black powder. It was the incense he had obtained from the mysterious boss in the concession. It was a must-have for a sneak attack and killing people.
The strict 'pig-killing meeting' adds double insurance.
