Chapter 109, pick the short one
"Today's efforts are for better harvest tomorrow!" After taking pictures of the skills of his comrades one by one, Hu Changyi gave up and poured himself a bowl of chicken soup before falling asleep.
When he woke up, it was early morning again the next day, just in time to have breakfast.
Today's breakfast was made by the cooks from nearby villages with the help of ordinary people. It was made of slag tofu and large pancakes. The pancakes were also rolled with green onion leaves and a little miso in them.
Needless to say, Lao Wai, who is from Zhangqiu, has very good taste. Even in the original world, he would not eat pancakes if he had steamed buns, but now it is different. Of course, pancakes in the original world are too expensive.
Yes, one pound of pancakes is enough to buy several pounds of steamed buns.
But in this world, pancakes are what common people eat, and white-flour steamed buns are only available to landlords. This is different from later generations.
Moreover, things like chicken, duck, and fish were relatively common ingredients in later generations. However, the various wild vegetables that people eat now are more expensive. Of course, those top-quality ingredients are not counted.
Four pancakes and a large lunch box of crumbled tofu, this is Hu Changyi's breakfast, which is getting more and more edible. There is nothing we can do about it. At this time, people lack oil and water in their stomachs, so they can only increase their food intake to supplement the lack of nutrients.
.
After having breakfast and taking care of some personal hygiene issues, Hu Changyi and the guerrillas entered the ambush position. After the Zhao brothers helped everyone disguise themselves, everyone stopped talking and just waited quietly on the hillside.
, waiting for the Japanese to arrive.
This wait lasted from morning to noon, and then from noon to about three o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, the scouts in front reported that a large Japanese force set out from Zhanshang Town, numbering about 1,000 people and carrying a large amount of baggage. Among them, there were about 300 Japanese vanguard troops who set off in advance, the furthest point from the ambush circle.
Dazhaikou to the east is less than 500 meters away.
At this time, the Japanese army behind them had just completely left Zhanshang Town and were marching slowly.
In other words, there is a separation distance of more than one kilometer between the Japs' leading troops and the follow-up troops.
After getting this information, the two Brigadiers Chen got on the phone to discuss how to start. According to the original trajectory, they would choose the vanguard of the Japs to attack, then resolutely eat these Japs and take advantage before leaving.
However, their decision at this moment lacked unexpected unity - let all the Japanese in and then try to annihilate them!
According to the words of the brigade commander: We fought several ambush battles in a row and captured a lot, just when the guy in our hands was hard. Moreover, the entire river valley passage was covered by melee scattering weapons, so we can't work in vain, right?
?
Then when these words came to our Lao Li's mouth, it became: "Haha, here's your chance to make a fortune! We have more than 10,000 people hiding here, but we can't kill more than 1,000 Japs? These more than 10,000 people are just holding the
Even if you hit them with stones, you can kill the Japanese in here!"
Of course, when Hu Changyi received the combat order, his thought was: "The directional mines along the way were all laid out by me and my people; most of those elm cannons were made by my people, even if it wasn't me."
If you make it, there will be royalties. So... you will make a fortune!"
"Second brother, when you are about to shoot, you should choose the Japanese grenade soldiers to fight with the officers first! Lao Lao, those of you with accurate marksmanship, remember to shoot the Japanese soldiers carrying the flag first! Others, go first
Choose the smaller Japanese soldiers to fight!"
"Dapeng, this time you choose the bombing target yourself. If there are more Japs, you will bomb them! Captain, are you okay there?" The Japs were coming. Hu Changyi quickly taught everyone the order of shooting.
"Don't worry, Chang Yi, we know what's going on here! Why hit the smaller ones first?" Zhao Fengnian asked.
"The Japs are small! The sticks and pigtails are taller than the Japs, so let's attack the smaller ones first and kill the main force in the Japs' team. The rest will be easy to deal with!" Hu Changyi explained.
one time.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is an important tactic!" Zhao Fengnian said.
"Everyone can guess this, right? Is there any problem?" Hu Changyi said.
"You, you are in a war, who cares about your height? Wang Han, step back now and tell the Seventh Company Commander to pick up the shorter ones and beat them!" Zhao Fengnian said to Wang Han.
"Understood, captain!" Wang Han was smarter and quickly found the seventh company commander and passed this message to him.
"Small? Isn't it... No matter what, what Changyi said should be right..." The Seventh Company Commander quickly asked the soldiers of the Seventh Company to choose a small one as the first design target.
Then... the eighth company... the ninth company... the whole regiment... and finally the entire ambush line was known.
You ask why the news is transmitted so quickly? More than 10,000 people are crowded on both sides of the river valley less than four kilometers away. How dense is this population? Are there telephones across the river valley?
Of course, the main weapons of this ambush were weapons such as the directional blasting devices deployed by Hu Changyi and the elm cannons hidden in the grass on the hillside. The first choice targets for shooting were small Japs, so they had to wait until the directional mines exploded
Only when it’s over.
Of course, Hu Changyi did not expect that everyone knew that he was a Japanese. At this moment, he was leaning against a few big trees, with a freshly made fried dough ball in the tea jar in his hand.
Even though the Japs were not far from Dazhaikou, when they arrived at Hufeng Village, it would take more than an hour anyway, so they still had time to eat.
After slowly finishing the fried dough, Hu Changyi signaled Wang Xiaoer to pay attention to the sky, but he closed his eyes to rest his mind.
At this time, the leading Japanese troops had already passed Dazhaikou and were heading towards Guangyang along the rugged and winding road.
Although it is said to be a highway, it has actually been damaged by flash floods and the like, and no one has repaired it. It is just a mountain road that is easier to walk on.
Therefore, the Japanese soldiers walked carefully on the road, looking both ways from time to time, and occasionally fired one or two shots.
As for the Japanese's act of alerting the enemy, no one among the Eighth Route Army soldiers ambushed near the highway was fooled, so they waited for the Japanese to drive past.
Not long after the leading troops passed by, the heavy baggage troops from behind also came over. The Japs leading horses and carrying loaders opened a long marching group on the road, and they did not expect that anyone would try to take advantage of them.
Time passed little by little, and the Japanese were slowly moving westward. At Dazhaikou, the brigade commander was also nervously waiting for another call from Brigadier Chen.
