The guerrillas who were lucky enough to escape originally thought that Tang Cheng's group who helped them had a large number of people, but when they really saw how many people in Tang Cheng, they realized that there were only a few people in Tang Cheng. "Japanese military officer
I want to take away the rifles and command knives, as well as the soldier IDs and shoulder badges of those Japanese soldiers." When the battlefield was cleaned up after the battle, Tangcheng did not ask for weapons and ammunition, but only things that the guerrillas thought were useless.
.
"We came from Chongqing, so you should understand that we need these things to prove what we have done." Tang Cheng did not identify himself to the other party, but just used a vague rhetoric. Hearing that Tang Cheng
When the word Chongqing was mentioned in the words, the eyes of the guerrilla leader named Zhang flickered, and he must have understood the hint and meaning in Tangcheng's words. Knowing that this guerrilla group has been active in this area, Tangcheng
Immediately he became interested and whispered to the other party.
"To be honest, it was not easy for me to come out of Chongqing. It happened that the people under me were pretty good at fighting. I just thought that I would take this opportunity to kill more Japanese and puppet troops. We can meet here. This is also
It's fate. Since we are all fighting Japanese invaders, why don't we cooperate?" Tang Cheng's olive branch has been extended. Judging from the other party's reaction, he should have gained some experience, but Captain Zhang did not express his position immediately.
Instead, they asked Tang Cheng about their true identities.
"Captain Zhang, are there any identity restrictions when you fight the Japanese? Is it possible that the Japanese and puppet soldiers we just killed are not counted? If you suspect that we are the thorns arranged by the Japanese, that would be even more ridiculous!
The Japanese can't just risk dozens of their lives just to arrange for a few of us, right? Besides, you are just a local guerrilla group, and the Japanese can't afford to come up with such a plan just for you!"
Tang Cheng's words were a little ruthless, but Captain Zhang couldn't find a reason to refute, because what Tang Cheng said was not wrong. Seeing Captain Zhang's thoughtful look, Tang Cheng immediately relaxed.
He smiled and said, "Captain Zhang, how about this, let's find another way of cooperation! You just said that you have been operating in this area, so you should know something about the Japanese and puppet army strongholds in this area. You and I
Tell me about the situation of the Japanese and puppet army strongholds around here. I will decide which one to attack. We will be the main attacker, and you will be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield after the battle."
Tang Cheng's words once again subverted Captain Zhang's expectations, because among all the national troops he had come into contact with, none were like Tang Cheng. But no matter what, Tang Cheng and the others
Captain Zhang saw all the performance just now. After thinking for a while, Captain Zhang finally made a statement. He agreed to cooperate with Tangcheng, but their guerrillas also had to participate in specific actions. Tangcheng insisted on this.
Opposing attitude, "Captain Zhang, I'm not looking down on you. My people and I are skilled at cooperating. If someone suddenly comes in, it will definitely affect our original rhythm of cooperating."
Captain Zhang did not understand what Tang Cheng said about matching the rhythm. Tang Cheng did not have the intention to explain more at this moment. According to the information provided by Captain Zhang, after discussion, the two of Tang Cheng decided to move Zhang 30 kilometers away from here.
Jiaji was selected as the preferred target. "Mr. Cao, you have two options, one is to leave on your own. The route I have selected for you is basically safe. You don't have to worry about interception by the Japanese and puppet troops. You only need to pay attention to bandits and guerrillas along the way."
"The second option is that you stay in the village ahead for a few days to repair, and when my affairs are finished, we can leave together. But I want to declare in advance that my affairs may not be completed in a day or two. If
If you choose to stay and renovate, the time may be three to five days, or it may be longer. After all, the conditions in the village are not good, but I don’t know if you can get used to it!" Tangcheng gave two choices, do
Mr. Cao, who made the choice, thought deeply and chose the second one. After all, this was still a Japanese-occupied area, and with just the few gang members under his command, it was difficult to guarantee that nothing would happen.
After solving Mr. Cao's big problem, the next thing went much smoother. After Tangcheng and the others rested in the village for a night, they went straight to Zhangjiaji under the leadership of the guerrillas. Zhangjiaji was originally a village.
Later, coal mines were discovered here, and more and more people gradually gathered here, and it became the current Zhangjiaji. There was a small team of Japanese troops and a company of puppet troops stationed in Zhangjiaji because of the small coal mines nearby.
The Japanese and puppet troops here also set up two strongholds outside Zhangjiaji.
Captain Zhang and others also wanted to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangjiaji, but their number was too small. At most, they could only harass the two Japanese and puppet troops strongholds outside Zhangjiaji. That night, they made up and sneaked into Tangcheng to observe carefully.
After seeing the situation in Zhangjiaji, he immediately decided to launch an attack. "Today is a good opportunity. Dadi in Zhangjiaji advocates getting rich and marrying his concubine. Officers from the Japanese army and puppet army will all go there."
The Zhang family attended the wedding. When I came back, the Zhang family had sent wine and food to the military camp, and the officers did not stop the soldiers from drinking."
What Tang Cheng said was witnessed by Captain Zhang, who sneaked into Zhangjiaji together at the time, so he did not stop Tang Cheng. "Hai Dahai, you and Xiao Qi stay, and two sniper rifles are also left behind.
You." As Tang Cheng spoke, he had already picked up a pencil and drew a sketch on the paper, and marked the locations of the two Japanese and puppet army strongholds on it. "The mission of you two is to seal this place.
The two strongholds will not allow them to rush back to Zhangjiaji for rescue. The guerrillas will send four people to cooperate with you."
"Others, follow me to fight Zhangjiaji. Our primary target is the Japanese and puppet troops in the military camp. After taking care of the Japanese and puppet troops in the military camp, we will turn back and deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in these two strongholds.
Japanese and puppet troops. In short, the purpose of our operation this time is to clear out all the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangjiaji." The arresting team members who have been following Tangcheng have long been accustomed to the way Tangcheng arranges tasks, but Zhang
The captain and the others widened their eyes when they heard this.
Why does Zhangjiaji, which is a headache for the guerrillas, seem to be easily solved at any time by Tang Cheng? Captain Zhang, who had doubts in his heart, was about to speak, but Tang Cheng preempted him and said, "For this operation, let's hurry up."
Go quickly to give them no time to react. The action time is set at 4:30 in the morning. It gets bright early here, around 4:30, and the sky has already lightened up, which is just convenient for our actions." Tangcheng will take action.
The time was set at half past four, which made Captain Zhang breathe a little relieved.
After simply eating something, Tang Cheng urged everyone to rest, and he himself began to repeatedly deduce the action steps. Captain Zhang was not idle either. He went to the village to find people according to Tang Cheng's arrangement. According to Tang Cheng's plan, they
After getting rid of the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangjiaji, they must immediately continue to move south. In the original words of Tangcheng, in order to prevent this village from being targeted by the Japanese and puppet troops, they must attack another Japanese stronghold. This is the only way
, it is possible to divert the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops.
After the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangjiaji were eliminated, there would definitely be no shortage of seizures. People like myself did not have time to clean up the seizures, so Captain Zhang needed to mobilize the people in the village to temporarily act as logistics personnel. Tangcheng was busy until the evening.
At ten o'clock, he wrapped himself in a blanket and fell asleep, while Captain Zhang couldn't fall asleep until the early morning. At three o'clock in the morning, Tangcheng woke up
Come, everyone involved in the operation quietly left the village and headed straight to Zhangjiaji, more than 20 miles away.
After more than an hour of continuous rapid march, even if the guerrillas were used to outdoor operations, they were tired and out of breath when talking. Looking at Tang Cheng and the others, they were only slightly out of breath. When Captain Zhang asked about the reason, Tang Cheng smiled.
Explained, "My men and I have a five-kilometer weight march training almost every morning and evening, and a field march training of more than 20 kilometers every week. This kind of walking march that only carries weapons and ammunition, we have long
I'm used to it now, it's much weaker than our training intensity."
Tang Cheng's answer made Captain Zhang secretly stunned, and at the same time he was filled with envy. Since their guerrillas were formed, they have also conducted necessary daily training in accordance with the regulations of the regular Eighth Route Army troops. However, the guerrillas are small in number and not only lack the
There was a shortage of food, weapons and ammunition. Therefore, their training only lasted for a short period of time and then stopped long ago. Today's guerrillas mostly do nothing more than collect and pass on intelligence, or find trouble with lone traitors and puppet troops.
.
Although the time of contact with Tang Cheng and the others was still short, Captain Zhang could tell that Tang Cheng and the others were all good fighters. Seeing what Captain Zhang was thinking, Tang Cheng grinned and then reached out to pat him.
Du's shoulder said, "Old Zhang, there's no way we can stay! Let's not talk about the conflicts between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but just talk about the materials we need for daily training, which you don't have here! But before we leave, I can leave it to you.
A training manual, if you train according to the manual, your combat effectiveness will definitely improve a lot."
The training manual that Tangcheng said it would leave to Captain Zhang and the others is actually a training course for the reserve force in later generations. Although the reserve force cannot be compared with the active force, the training course for the reserve force is used to train the militia and guerrillas of this era.
It was a perfect time. Five minutes to 4:30, Tang Cheng and his party finally arrived at the outskirts of Zhangjiaji. They confirmed that there were no sentries standing guard at the checkpoint 100 meters ahead. Tang Cheng and the others began to move forward quickly.
Zhang Facai married his aunt last night. Almost all the Japanese and puppet army officers stationed in Zhangjiaji went to the Zhang family to drink, and the Zhang family also sent additional food and wine to the military camp. The well-fed Japanese and puppet soldiers had already lost the necessary
Be alert, including the sentries standing guard here. At this time, they have already fallen asleep, and no one will pay attention to the situation outside the checkpoint.
