Chapter 849
"In this battle, our primary goal is not supplies!"
In the previous attacks on the Japanese logistics troops, they were really focused on the Japanese supplies.
After all, Zhao Zhiguo and the others were short of combat supplies at the time, and by robbing the Japs, they could indirectly help the Jinsui Army.
But this time they just wanted to provide the greatest help to the Jinsui Army, that is, to keep the Japanese logistics troops here as long as possible.
"You guys stay here and cover me while I go to the other side to have a look!"
Zhao Zhiguo took a look at the road and saw that no Japs were passing by. He decided to go around to the cliff on the opposite side to have a look at the terrain.
After a long period of reconnaissance, Zhao Zhiguo determined that this was the perfect location for their operation.
After reconnaissance of the terrain, Zhao Zhiguo and Yao Peng returned to Anyang Town without stopping.
"In this combat operation, we divided it into two parts. One part is to destroy the road. Once the road is destroyed, the little devils will definitely find a way to repair the road, so our second step is to harass the Japanese road construction troops."
The roads were cut off, and the Japanese army's logistics supplies could not be transported to the front line in time, so the roads would inevitably be repaired.
When the Japanese army was building roads, their troops took the initiative to attack again. After beating up the Japanese engineers, they ran into the mountains.
"Captain, don't we want the little devil's supplies? That would be a pity." Yao Peng asked.
The little devils must transport a lot of supplies to the front line. There are tens of thousands of troops on the front line, and the supplies consumed every day require hundreds or even thousands of vehicles to transport them.
A small transport team of the Japanese army also has more than a dozen trucks. The ammunition of ten trucks is enough for Zhao Zhiguo and others to use for a long time.
"As for the little devil's supplies, we will make a decision based on the situation at that time. Even if we execute the plan successfully, it may not cause many casualties to the Japanese army."
Zhao Zhiguo's plan was to block the road, not to kill the little Japs.
While the Japs still have the vitality, it would not be a wise move for them to go down and grab supplies.
In three days, they urgently transferred the artillery shells captured last time from the Wangxian area to Anyang Town.
"Inform Qin Dongsheng and ask him to bring three companies of troops into Wangxian County. The road is blocked. The little devil's transportation team in the rear will definitely be on standby. When the time comes, let him try every means to move the Japanese supplies from the rear.
Destroyed."
"Gao Cang, arrange for a company to stay in Anyang Town. By the way, Qin Dongsheng's troops in Changshan will be transferred to Anyang Town and handed over to your command. We will guard Anyang Town together."
While they were staring at the little devil, the little devil would definitely find a way to attack Anyang Zhen. Zhao Zhiguo had to be on guard.
"Captain, you should be responsible for staying behind. You are the supreme commander of the army."
Gao Cang was unhappy on the spot. The captain went out to charge into the battle, while his deputy captain stayed behind. This was unreasonable.
"I think Gao Cang's suggestion is very reasonable," Matthew said.
"Do you know how to blow up a cliff? Do you know how to bet on the road?" Zhao Zhiguo asked, "We have to block both sections of the road. The longer the road is destroyed, the longer the little devil will be stagnant."
Several people were silent. Except for Yao Pengju and Zhao Zhiguo who went to check the situation on that road, everyone else looked completely blank.
Although Zhao Zhiguo was able to arrange the mission, to maximize the effect of the artillery shells in his hands, only Zhao Zhiguo could arrange it himself.
They don't have many cannonballs in their hands, so they can't waste any of them.
"Instructor, you'd better guard Anyang Town. If we make too much noise this time, the Japs might send a bunch of surprise troops to attack us."
The clay figurine still has a temper, and it is impossible for the little devil to let Zhao Zhiguo control him at will.
Zhao Zhiguo dispatched so many troops to attack everywhere, the little devil will definitely analyze the situation of Zhao Zhiguo's troop mobilization.
"Captain, don't worry, Anyang Town. Even if the little devils come as a regiment, I will let them stay outside Anyang Town for a whole day."
It's not that Gao Cang is talking big. The terrain around Anyang Town is easy to defend and difficult to attack. No matter how many Japanese troops there are, they will not be able to deploy them.
One day later, Zhao Zhiguo gathered his troops and left Anyang Town while it was dark.
The Japs have many spies near Anyang Town. After all, as long as they grasp the movements of Zhao Zhiguo's troops, the Japanese army can choose to take the initiative.
Therefore, in order to hide from these little Japanese spies, they could only mobilize their troops overnight, and their every move must not be discovered by the Japanese army.
The little devil's spies basically lose their effectiveness at night. On the territory of Anyang Town, they are basically puppet soldiers.
The ability of these puppet soldiers to detect intelligence is completely negligible. Sometimes they just hear about some information without confirming it, then report it back to the little devils, and then defraud the little devils to get the rewards.
At night, these puppet soldiers hid in their hiding places and did not dare to come out.
It was dark on the boundary of Anyang Town, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. If the puppet soldiers came out to conduct reconnaissance information, they would most likely be captured by the heavily guarded sentries surrounding Anyang Town.
In particular, the sentry posts of Zhao Zhiguo's troops changed every night, sometimes advancing a mile, sometimes hiding directly at a certain intersection.
Except for the officers on duty that night who knew where the sentries were, even Gao Cang did not necessarily know the locations of all the sentries.
As long as Zhao Zhiguo and his troops leave the Anyang Town area at night, they can do so quietly.
The closer you get to the road, the more likely you are to encounter Japanese scouts. After all, it is very difficult for three companies of troops to completely hide their traces while marching.
Therefore, they must take advantage of the night to get closer to their destination as quickly as possible. As soon as day breaks, the troops will stop moving and hide on the spot.
The next night, Zhao Zhiguo and the others arrived near the highway.
Zhao Zhiguo did not hesitate at all and led his troops directly to the vicinity of the second pass.
"First company commander, come with me with ten rounds of artillery shells and detonators!"
It is simply unrealistic to blow up the cliff that is more than 100 meters long.
But Zhao Zhiguo clearly remembered that there was a huge boulder on the cliff. As long as the blast was successful, the entire boulder would fall down and block the road.
Of course, if the boulder is well treated, two or three cannonballs will be enough.
The remaining shells can also be placed in other directions on the cliff.
It took Zhao Zhiguo two hours to arrange the ten shells in reasonable positions, and then asked a platoon of soldiers to hide on the spot, waiting for Zhao Zhiguo's order to detonate them again.
On this side of the cliff, Zhao Zhiguo also arranged ten rounds of artillery shells, and then buried detonators under the shells, leaving a platoon of soldiers to guard them.
Zhao Zhiguo brought the remaining shells to the first pass.
