"Let me tell you about the general situation of Meihongshan Military Station first." Tang Cheng shut himself in the room and worked until dinner time. When he opened the door, there was already a sand table in the room. "This simple sand table is based on
Based on the intelligence provided by the guerrillas and the results of our own investigation, the area of the Japanese military depot is not large, but not far from the military depot is Meihong Mountain. This has advantages and disadvantages for us. The advantage is that
We have figured out the patterns of Japanese military sentries and patrols, and we also have guerrillas to help us continue to collect intelligence."
Old Dongbei and the others who were called into the room by Tang Cheng looked down at the sand table, but no one spoke. Old Dong Dong and Liu Shitou knew Tang Cheng's habits, but Wu Chuang and Tan Fei saw the sand table for the first time.
, simply looking at the sand table and forgetting to speak. "As I said just now, this kind of terrain has advantages and disadvantages for us. What is not good for us now is that most of the military stations outside are open fields with wide views, which makes it easier for the Japanese army to use machine guns and
Use grenade and other powerful fire weapons to counterattack us. If we attack by force, our casualties will be huge." Tang Cheng's words made Lao Dongbei's face become serious.
"Everyone, look here. The east side of the military station is a wasteland with overgrown weeds and some undulating terrain. This is beneficial to us." The short wooden stick in Tang Cheng's hand clicked on the east side of the sand table, and then clicked again.
On the west side of the north of the military station, "Behind the military station, that is, on the west side, there is a flat field. There is no place to cover us, so it is very unfavorable for our movement and concealment. But there is a forest to the north of the field.
, According to my observations at the time, the distance between the forest and the military station was only about three hundred meters. If this forest is used well, it will be much easier to capture the military station."
"The Japanese army also had a barbed wire fence outside the military station, especially on both sides of the military station's gate. The military station's gate is located on the east side of the avenue, only 20 meters away from the main road. There are two posts at the gate, one on the left and one on the left.
On both sides, the machine gun bunkers at the gate are built with sandbags. The height of the sandbags is only 1.2 meters. Inside the military station, there are two wooden sentry towers at the northwest and southwest corners near Meihong Mountain. The height of the sentry towers is about 3 meters.
, a machine gun was set up above, and two Japanese soldiers guarded it.
"Every half hour in the military station, a Japanese patrol team will patrol along the barbed wire fence. There are 6 Japanese soldiers in the patrol team." When Tang Cheng introduced the situation of the military station, Laodongbei and all of them showed solemn expressions.
When Tang Cheng told Yan Hongjiao that the operation was postponed, they thought it would not be difficult to capture the military depot. But now that Tang Cheng said it, it was a tough nut to crack. After passing by a group of people who were in Huodiqiao Town before,
After the series of battles, everyone's mentality was completely different from before. Now even Tan Fei could see the difficulty of attacking the Japanese military depot.
"According to the guerrilla intelligence and reconnaissance, as well as our observations from the outside of the military station, the military station should be stocked with fuel and a large amount of grain, and there may also be some guns and ammunition." Tang Cheng put down the short wooden stick in his hand and scanned the scene.
Everyone glanced at each other. "Our purpose is to help the guerrillas take down the military depot and the artillery tower built by the Japanese army in Lingxiang Town. Therefore, our task is only to shoot and kill the Japanese and puppet troops in the military depot and artillery building. As for the captured materials, the guerrillas will
Disposal. According to what we have negotiated with the guerrillas, of all the loot, we only need 30% of the property, ammunition, and grenades. Don’t ask for everything when the time comes. Don’t lose my face and let the guerrillas laugh at us.”
Yan Hongjiao didn't know that Tang Cheng was hiding in the house using a sand table to conduct tactical deductions with Lao Dongbei and the others. Besides, she didn't know what tactical deductions were. By the time Yan Hongjiao saw the sand table, Tang Cheng and the others had stopped discussing. "Yan Hongjiao said.
Captain, this is a sand table. I made it based on the information provided by your guerrillas and our on-the-spot observation today. You can take a good look at it. I am going to take a few people to Lingxiang Town to investigate the gun tower. All the
We’ll talk about it later when I get back.”
Of course, Yan Hongjiao was worried that Tang Cheng would only take his men out for reconnaissance, so she bluntly said that she would go with her because she was familiar with the terrain of Lingxiang Town. Half an hour later, a group of Japanese soldiers appeared on the road leading to Lingxiang Town.
On the main road in Tangcheng, they were all wearing Japanese military uniforms, which they had captured in Huandiqiao Town. Of course, these military uniforms were clean uniforms that the Japanese had washed and dried in the barracks.
"Captain Tang, Changping Village is ahead. The gun towers built by the Japs in Changping Village are only one mile away. There is a Japs checkpoint in Changping Village. We have to be careful." Yan Hongjiao, who was responsible for leading the way, suddenly stopped.
He pointed to the direction of the smoke rising in front and said to Tang Cheng. Hearing this, Tang Cheng took out his binoculars and found a higher place to look at the smoke. As Yan Hongjiao said just now, the direction of Changping Village is indeed the same.
There is a checkpoint for the Japanese army, but the ones guarding the checkpoint are not Japanese soldiers but several Imperial Army troops.
"We are not entering Lingxiang Town, so we don't need to consider the Japanese military checkpoint." After looking at the checkpoint with the telescope for a while, Tang Cheng pretended not to see Yan Hongjiao's desire for his telescope, and directly put the telescope back into the box on his waist.
"This road leads directly to Lingxiang Town and the Japanese military station in Meihong Mountain. We just need to wait here." Tang Cheng's words made Yan Hongjiao suddenly realize that this was simply Tang Cheng not believing the guerrillas' intelligence, so he put on makeup.
Japanese soldiers often came to do reconnaissance.
"Company Commander, we are wearing the uniforms of the Japs right now. Why don't we go directly to Lingxiang Town? We will take care of that bullshit turret today. In two days, we can concentrate on dealing with the Japs' military depot."
Tan Fei's low-pitched inquiry made Tang Cheng blush. If he had seen that this guy was unreliable, he should not have taken him in in the first place.
"You're wearing a kid's military uniform now. If you don't speak Japanese, don't open your mouth. If someone hears this, all our efforts will be in vain." Lao Dongbei stretched out his hand to knock Tan.
He was flying so hard that he was dodged by Tan Fei, who had quick hands and eyes. "You can hide quickly!" Lao Dongbei glared at Tan Fei and sat down carelessly on the stone on the side of the road. Lao Dongbei was no longer the third
Once he followed Tang Cheng and wore a Japanese military uniform. He knew what to do and what not to do. Speaking Chinese while wearing a Japanese military uniform was absolutely unacceptable.
Seeing Tan Fei still glaring at Lao Dongbei, Tang Cheng said with a smile, "What Lao Dongbei just said is right, you have to pay attention to details in everything, especially when we are doing reconnaissance close to the enemy like us, we can't be careless at all.
, otherwise people will die." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yan Hongjiao, whose military uniform obviously didn't fit him. Tang Cheng continued, "From now on, try not to talk. When something happens, I will step in."
Tangcheng's outbound reconnaissance did not last a whole day as Yan Hongjiao imagined. Tangcheng just approached the Japanese artillery tower and observed it carefully for a while, followed the route and carefully observed the terrain around it, and then rushed back to Nanshan Village.
Rest. "Captain Yan, I think we should divide our forces. I originally thought that our two groups would have a better chance of winning if we joined together. I saw the Japanese artillery tower and the surrounding terrain today. I guess your guerrillas are the only ones who can win."
We can also take down the turret, so it seems a bit redundant for us to follow."
"Company Commander Tang, are you afraid?" Yan Hongjiao sneered and looked at Tang Cheng. It was just time for dinner. Tang Cheng's sudden suggestion of dividing the troops was just to offend her.
"Captain Yan, although I, Tang Cheng, am not too old, I am also a person who places great emphasis on promises. I will keep my word. We have killed no less little devils than you. It is impossible to say whether I am afraid or not. I just don't want to
My brothers are running for nothing, what a waste of energy." Tang Cheng, who was sitting opposite Yan Hongjiao, suddenly crossed his legs, holding a cigarette in his hand and waiting for Liu Shitou to light it for himself. At this moment, Tang Cheng
Cheng looked like a playboy, which made Yan Hongjiao's eyes full of anger.
Yan Hongjiao still wanted to argue with Tang Cheng, but Liu Shitou, who was accompanying him with a smiling face, pulled him aside and whispered comfort, "Captain Yan, our company commander is such a bitch. Don't be angry with him because he has the same experience."
I can't eat and earn money." Liu Shitou is the youngest among them in Tangcheng. If it weren't for the shell gun in his waist and the rifle slung on his body, Liu Shitou would be nothing like the half-grown men in Nanshan Village.
Either way, Yan Hongjiao would never glare at Liu Shitou.
Yan Hongjiao was persuaded to leave by Liu Shitou. Tang Cheng, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, winked at Lao Dongbei. The latter nodded knowingly and followed Yan Hongjiao out of the yard. Only a proud Tang Cheng and an unknown person were left in the yard.
Tan Fei and Hou San. After about a quarter of an hour, Lao Dongbei and Liu Shitou came back one after another. Tang Cheng could see Yan Hongjiao's figure through the unclosed courtyard door, but the latter was only in the courtyard.
I lingered outside the door for a while, but didn't come in.
"Why don't you tell the truth to that woman?" During the meal, Lao Dongbei asked the question that he had been thinking about for a while. On the way back from the investigation, Tangcheng had already discussed it with Lao Dongbei, whether it was
Whether attacking a military depot or a gun tower, Tang Cheng only used his own people. After Tang Cheng personally investigated the military depot, he no longer truly believed in the intelligence provided by the guerrillas. The information Yan Hongjiao gave to Tang Cheng was different from what he observed on the spot.
There were too many. Tang Cheng didn't know if there was something wrong with the guerrillas' intelligence. Anyway, he didn't dare to fight side by side with the guerrillas. It would be good to let them clean the battlefield and take care of the retreat.
