For two consecutive days, Tangcheng and the others continued to attack the Japanese and puppet troops. Both the Kurokawa Brigade and the Sato Brigade that came to support later suffered varying degrees of casualties. The two had no choice but to continue.
Ask for help and seek help from the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops. After discovering the Japanese and puppet troops' movements, Tangcheng immediately revised his plan and immediately terminated the operation against this Japanese and puppet troops. After turning around and leaving, he began to carry out attacks on other Japanese and puppet military strongholds that were empty of troops.
Raid.
"Old Zhang, the main purpose of bringing you out this time is to help you train your troops. You are the guerrilla captain, you should know the difference between those who have seen blood and those who have not! In war, there will always be casualties, you can't
Protect them all the time. Once they are left to face the enemy alone, what do you want them to do?" On the way to a Japanese and puppet army stronghold, Tang Cheng explained to Captain Zhang that he and his men were about to leave.
.
"The Japanese and puppet army strongholds we are going to raid next do not have many troops! I will still come to attack the front line, but I will ask your team members to act with me separately! Let's talk ugly up front, I can't guarantee that they won't
There will be casualties, and you, the captain, must be mentally prepared." Captain Zhang was not unaware of the meaning behind Tang Cheng's words, but he still hoped that Tang Cheng could take good care of his guerrillas during the battle.
Tang Cheng did not respond immediately to Captain Zhang's request, but let Captain Zhang make his own decision. When it was just getting light the next day, Tang Cheng and the others had already appeared on the side of a Japanese and puppet army artillery tower.
This blockhouse was their attack target at the moment. It was just getting dark, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the blockhouse had not yet woken up, but Tang Cheng had already noticed the sentry on the top of the blockhouse. This time, Tang Cheng did not choose to act alone, but
It is for the guerrillas to formulate an action plan.
After following Tang Cheng in this area for several days, the guerrillas were very convinced of Tang Cheng's abilities. At this moment, they found that Tang Cheng had chosen to wait uncharacteristically, and also asked them to formulate their own action plan. The guerrillas immediately
Zi was a little confused. After Captain Zhang patiently explained, the guerrillas realized that it was Tangcheng and the others who were preparing to return to Chongqing. "Let's put the other people's matters aside for now. The main thing before us is how to
Get rid of this turret!"
After Captain Zhang repeatedly stressed, the guerrillas could only gather together in twos and threes and discuss the action plan in low voices. A few minutes later, including Captain Zhang, the guerrillas synthesized three sets of action plans. Listen carefully to the guerrillas
After they stated their action plans, Tang Cheng began to patiently comment on the three sets of action plans. "Let's first talk about the plan to use mortars as the main firepower. I seem to have told you that mortars
Before modification, it was just a direct fire weapon, and its destructive power on the turret was very limited."
What Tang Cheng just said about the modification of mortars is not nonsense, and this method of converting mortars into direct-aiming guns was invented by the Eighth Route Army. "Mortars are direct firepower. In other words, mortars are direct firepower.
The artillery fire can only hit the top of the turret and does not pose a major threat to the entire turret. Moreover, as long as the Japanese and puppet troops inside the turret cannot retreat, even if you use mortars, you will not be able to annihilate them." This plan was proposed.
The guerrillas could only blush with embarrassment when faced with Tang Cheng's explanation.
"Let's talk about this plan of using the night as cover to directly attack the blockhouses! There is no problem with using the night, but the problem is that after nightfall, the visibility also decreases accordingly. How can you cross the blockade ditch behind the blockhouse without making any noise? What's more, the top of the blockhouse
There are also searchlights. There is not much time left for you to cross the blockade ditch. How can you ensure that you will not be discovered by the sentries on the top of the turret?" The second plan proposed by the guerrillas was also quickly rejected by Tangcheng.
"The last one, which is the plan proposed by Captain Zhang, is to first use harassment to disrupt the work and rest of the Japanese and puppet troops in the artillery building, and then conduct a surprise attack on the artillery building at dawn. This plan is good, but there is one thing, that is, this plan requires
There is enough time. If the time of the harassment is short, it will arouse the alert of the Japanese and puppet troops in the gun tower, but if the time of the harassment is too long, they may be surrounded by the Japanese and puppet reinforcements arriving."
Tang Cheng rejected all three plans proposed by the guerrillas with just a few words. The guerrillas looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do. After Tang Cheng looked around, he grinned and chuckled, and then took out
The dagger drew a topographic map on the ground. "This is our current location. This is Zhangguan Town. It is the closest Japanese and puppet stronghold to this blockhouse, and it is also the superior unit of this blockhouse. In other words, once this happens,
If a gun tower is attacked, they will definitely ask for help from Zhangguan Town."
While talking, Tang Cheng struck with a dagger
A circle was drawn between the artillery tower and Zhangguan Town. When Captain Zhang saw the position of the circle, he immediately understood. He immediately raised his head and looked towards Tangcheng. "That's right! The artillery building is here, and it can't escape.
Today I will teach you a trick, what is to encircle a point for reinforcements!" A few minutes later, there were only two snipers and a few guerrillas left outside the gun tower to cooperate. The others had followed Tangcheng to the gun tower and Zhang Guan
An ambush was set up on the road connecting the town.
At this moment, the Japanese and puppet troops in the blockhouse did not know that there were guns aimed at them outside the blockhouse. As time passed, the Japanese and puppet troops in the blockhouse woke up one after another. Under the urging of a Japanese commander, Cao,
Several puppet soldiers walked out of the turret to fetch water and wash their faces. Japanese soldiers also appeared on the top of the turret. "Bang! Bang!" Gunshots suddenly appeared at this time. Among the Japanese soldiers who appeared on the top of the turret, two of them were shot and fell.
Next, the other Japanese soldiers who were doing exercises on the top of the turret were dumbfounded.
Seeing their companions bleeding and falling, they just subconsciously lay down on the spot, but no one used the light machine gun on the top of the turret to fight back. The guerrillas scattered around the turret also followed suit, and the target they shot was
The few puppet soldiers were fetching water and washing their faces outside the blockhouse. The sound of gunfire was so sudden that the whole blockhouse immediately became chaotic. The puppet captain, who looked frightened, simply hid on the second floor of the blockhouse.
.
The Japanese and puppet troops who suffered continuous casualties inside the artillery building were hiding and did not dare to show their faces. They had no idea how many enemies there were outside the artillery building. They just knew that the enemy's marksmanship was very accurate. Under the pressure of the Japanese Army Commander Cao, a puppet soldier
The soldier cautiously moved behind the shooting hole on the front of the second floor, trying to observe the situation outside the gun building through the shooting hole. Only with the sound of a gunshot, the puppet soldier who moved in front of the shooting hole was accurately hit in the face by a bullet.
Door.
Being able to drive bullets from the shooting hole into the gun tower is an outstanding marksmanship even among the Japanese army. The first thing that the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the gun tower thought of was not the guerrillas, because they all knew that there were only some
There are no such sharpshooters among the guerrillas with local guns and artillery. Could it be the regular army of the Eighth Route Army? The Japanese commander Cao in the artillery tower first came up with this idea. Trapped in the artillery building, they could only make a phone call and ask for help.
Support from the garrison in Guanzhen.
"Hold it, Mr. Xiao Lin, Zhang Guanzhen has already called Zhang Guanzhen. Do you need it?"
In an hour, the reinforcements from Zhangguan Town will arrive at our place." The puppet captain also began to encourage his men. In short, as long as they don't leave the blockhouse, the Eighth Route Army sharpshooters outside will have nothing to do with them. But
They didn't know that Tangcheng's purpose was to ask them for help from the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangguan Town. At this moment, Tangcheng and the others were ready to attack at any time, and explosives were planted on the highway.
Half an hour later, the team members who went out for reconnaissance quickly came back. Two miles away from them, a large group of Japanese and puppet troops from Zhangguan Town had appeared. "The Japanese army is about a small group, and there are more than 100 puppet troops, and the total number of them exceeds
150 people." The news brought back by the reconnaissance team made Captain Zhang and his guerrillas secretly nervous. Because just a few minutes ago, Tang Cheng said that this ambush was commanded by Captain Zhang, and Tang Cheng and his men
The team members only serve as commandos for specific operations.
"Don't panic! We are preparing in advance this time, just follow the arrangements we made for the previous ambushes!" Seeing that Captain Zhang seemed a little panicked, Tang Cheng immediately reminded the other party in a low voice. After that, Captain Zhang
A little unfamiliar, Tang Cheng began to arrange his troops. Tang Cheng did not say anything to participate in the specific arrangements. He just slightly adjusted the ambush positions of his team members after Captain Zhang completed the arrangements. Tang Cheng meant to annihilate them all here.
The Japanese and puppet troops came from Zhangguan Town, but Captain Zhang was not sure.
The actual number of Japanese and puppet troops who came out of Zhangguan Town was close to 170. In addition to a full Japanese infantry squad, there was also a less than full puppet infantry company. I wonder if this was intentional when the Japanese troops in the artillery tower asked for help.
Exaggeratedly, the Japanese and puppet troops that came out of Zhangguan Town also carried two mortars, one heavy machine gun, two light machine guns, and four easy-to-carry grenade launchers. The Japanese soldiers, who were suspicious by nature,
Still following the old rules, they divided the puppet troops into two and marched at the front and rear of the team. They also arranged a squad of puppet troops to serve as the vanguard of reconnaissance.
The first thing they saw in Tangcheng was the squad of puppet soldiers who acted as the vanguard of reconnaissance under the coercion of the Japanese army. The puppet soldiers acted as the vanguard, so naturally they would not be as responsible as the Japanese vanguard. They just drove all the way along the highway.
However, he did not always rush down the road to conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding areas. Thanks to several previous ambush operations, Captain Zhang, who directed the battle, directly ignored these puppet soldiers and only focused on the large group of Japanese puppets that appeared later.
