In the afternoon in Heyuan County, Duan Peng pushed a wheelbarrow with several sacks filled with fresh millet.
When passing by the gate of the city, several puppet soldiers checked, and Duan Peng paid some money with a respectful expression before entering the city smoothly.
After entering the city, Duan Peng found a crossroads, put a towel on his shoulders, and started shouting skillfully.
Before joining the army, Duan Peng supported himself and his mother by selling grain in Heyuan County.
Duan Peng looked around a few times and saw that there were not many pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, Japanese three-wheelers and cars passed by, so he simply stopped shouting.
After a while, several Japanese and puppet plainclothes troops walked past in a swaggering manner.
The leader was wearing a long gown, a top hat, and a twenty-gun cannon hanging from his waist. He was not disguised at all.
It was Li Changshun and his team members.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers at the gate of the city were also looking for food. If they dressed up like a Kuhaha and had no money to take care of themselves, they would definitely be arrested and used as laborers to build fortifications for the Japanese.
There are more Japanese and puppet troops in Heyuan County, with more than 1,200 people.
In order to successfully capture Heyuan County and reduce troop casualties, Li Yunlong ordered the Sword Squadron to sneak into the city first.
While the main force launched an attack outside the city, the Lijian Squadron surrounded the city and attacked the Japanese Gendarmerie Headquarters, giving the Japanese a black tiger attack.
It is naturally difficult for ordinary troops to complete such a task. There are more than 1,200 Japanese and puppet troops in the city. Once the main attack outside the city fails, the troops inside the city will be in danger.
But the Sword Squadron is not an ordinary troop.
After receiving the order, Lu Yingjun ordered two teams, Duan Peng and Li Changshun, to go into the city to investigate the situation.
On the other hand, Lu Yingjun led several other teams to look for opportunities outside the city to transport weapons and ammunition into the city.
Not long after, members of the Sword Squadron, disguised as Japanese soldiers, puppet soldiers or ronin, entered Heyuan City one after another.
…
night.
On the road about 20 kilometers away from Heyuan County.
Several figures were excavating the pits with munitions shovels.
In less than ten minutes, a tunnel one meter deep and three meters long was dug, breaking the originally intact road in half.
About ten minutes later, Wang Xikui rushed over and reported to Lu Yingjun: "Report to the captain, the Japs are here. There are a dozen or so Japs in a patrol car and a truck."
As soon as Wang Xikui finished speaking, there was the faint roar of cars coming from the mountain road in the distance, and soon bright lights shone on him.
Lu Yingjun immediately shouted in a low voice: "Brothers, get ready to work, be smart, and fight quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yingjun and his team members immediately turned around and jumped into the weeds and cornfields on both sides of the road.
It was already mid-June and it was already dark.
The corn on both sides of the road is growing well and the weeds are overgrown, so hiding in the weeds and corn fields is a good choice. Even if you turn on the car lights, it is not easy to be discovered.
After a while, a Japanese Type 92 armored vehicle and a Japanese truck drove over.
More than ten meters away, the Japanese driver in the cab suddenly saw that the road ahead was cut off and quickly stepped on the brakes.
Fortunately, the Japs were not driving very fast, so the Japs driver easily stopped the armored vehicles and trucks on the road.
After the main force of the 120th Division withdrew, and before the new regiment came to northwestern Shanxi, the only patrols were Japanese armored vehicles.
After the new regiment arrived, in addition to the armored vehicles, a truck and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were also added to the patrol.
The Sword Squadron has already investigated these situations clearly.
"idiot!"
The Japanese driver cursed and cautiously poked his head out. When he found that there was no danger, he got out of the car and called his teammates to start filling in the hole.
It is very common for roads to be dug up. The patrolling Japanese often encounter them, so they are not surprised.
It was probably the fault of the Eighth Route guerrillas. If it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they might have laid mines directly on the highway.
The Japanese in the truck behind the armored vehicle jumped out to help.
At this moment, the crisp sound of single or continuous shooting suddenly rang out, and the bullets were flying around like strings of bolide, which was dizzying.
With every gunshot, a Japanese man fell to the ground with a groan.
The Japanese were instantly stunned. There were enemies from all directions, and the enemy's marksmanship was too accurate. They were all automatic firepower, and they didn't even have the strength to fight back.
In less than a minute, all the Japs fell.
More than twenty figures jumped out from the grass like ghosts, with submachine guns and other weapons hanging on their chests, and their bodies covered with camouflage.
"Clean the battlefield!"
Everyone began to clean up the battlefield.
After a while, Wang Gensheng brought a wounded but not dead Japanese soldier to Lu Yingjun: "Report to the captain, there is one alive."
Lu Yingjun turned on the flashlight and looked at the Japs' wounds: "Who shot him? Neither shot hit the chest. It's really embarrassing for me."
The Sword Squadron still has to go on a mission, but it can't afford to take a Japanese wounded soldier with it.
"Please, just me."
The Japanese man spoke in Japanese with blood flowing from his mouth, and looked at Lu Yingjun and the others with pleading eyes.
Although most Japs are not afraid of death, the young bespectacled Japs in front of them is obviously not one of them.
"Don't want to die?" Lu Yingjun squatted down, stared at the Japanese coldly and said, "What's your name? What's your position?"
The Japanese said weakly: "My...my name is Tanaka Tsuneji, and my position is a senior private in the Heyuan County Gendarmerie."
"Tanaka Tsuneji, right?" Lu Yingjun asked with a slight smile, "What is the password for the city gate tonight?"
Tanaka Tsuneji showed a trace of hesitation.
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Lu Yingjun didn't want to waste any more time and put his pistol against the Japs head.
Anyway, Lu Yingjun could also get the Japs' passwords from other channels.
For example, the first and second combat teams that have carried walkie-talkies and infiltrated into Heyuan County.
Tanaka Tsuneji said quickly: "The password for the city gate tonight is, my emperor will prosper for thousands of generations."
Looking at Tanaka Hangzhi's expression, Lu Yingjun knew that he was not lying.
After getting the password, Lu Yingjun said to Wang Gensheng: "Gensheng, find a rope to tie him up, gag his mouth, and throw him into the cornfield."
"Yes!" Wang Gensheng laughed ferociously, found a rope, tied the prisoner behind his back, and then blocked the prisoner's mouth with a towel.
Then Wang Gensheng walked toward the cornfield with the Japs in both hands.
When you return from the county town, if the Japanese is still alive, you can take him back for treatment.
If this devil dies, it can only be blamed on his bad fate.
At the same time, the team members threw all the corpses of the Japanese into the cornfield and quickly wiped away the blood stains on the car. The actions were quick but orderly. It was obviously not the first time they had done this kind of work.
Very skilled.
Afterwards, the team members took out the prepared Japanese military uniforms and 38 large caps.
In some TV dramas, the troops ambushed the Japanese and killed them indiscriminately. After that, the commander ordered them to change into Japanese uniforms.
Not long after, the soldiers put on the military uniforms they had ripped off from the Japs. As a result, after putting on the Japs uniforms, not only the blood stains, but also the bullet holes were gone.
That's outrageous.
Therefore, details are important.
Lu Yingjun also put on the Japanese military uniform customized for him by the quilt factory.
Because of his tall stature and ample length, the average height of a Japanese soldier was less than 1.6 meters tall, so he could not fit into the military uniform.
After Lu Yingjun put on the Japanese military uniform, Wang Xikui and Wang Gensheng also put on the Japanese military uniform and approached him.
Lu Yingjun asked the two of them: "Are you ready?"
"Report to the captain."
"Everything is ready!"
The two of them nodded in agreement and replied.
"The third team loaded all the weapons and ammunition into the vehicle."
Lu Yingjun put on his military cap: "Team 4 has filled the hole, move quickly."
Then Wang Xikui and Wang Gensheng turned around and walked towards their respective teams.
Wang Xikui led his team members to take out weapons and ammunition from the cornfield and put them in the car.
Wang Gensheng and his team members began to fill in the holes.
About three minutes later, all personnel were ready. Lu Yingjun got on the passenger side of the truck and shouted: "Open the way!"
The Type 92 armored vehicle in front was the first to start, driving through the well-filled road dirt and heading towards Heyuan County, with the truck behind following closely.
About 40 minutes later, the truck arrived at the west gate of Heyuan County.
Few people came in or out at night. The Japanese were dozing behind the sandbag positions, and a dozen puppet troops were standing guard.
Seeing an armored car and a truck approaching, the puppet soldiers knew that the imperial troops who had gone out to patrol had returned, and they quickly straightened their bodies.
Two Japanese soldiers emerged from behind the sandbags and stretched out their hands to signal for the car to stop.
The armored vehicles and trucks approached and stopped, but they did not turn off the engines or turn off the lights. The bright lights blinded the two Japanese soldiers.
"Password!"
One of the Japanese soldiers shouted loudly in Japanese.
"My emperor is prosperous!"
"Reply the order!"
A fluent Japanese voice came from inside the car.
"Eternity!"
The Japanese soldier looked relaxed and waved his hand behind, signaling passage.
Our Emperor will prosper for eternity, a line from Japan's national anthem.
The passwords for entering and exiting the city also changed every day, so the Japanese didn't have the slightest suspicion.
The puppet soldiers quickly trotted to the front of the armored vehicle and quickly lifted the roadblock, while the two Japanese soldiers turned around and returned behind the sandbags.
The roadblock in front was removed, and the two vehicles quickly started driving from the Xicheng Gate into Heyuan County.
At the city gate, the puppet troops quickly lifted the roadblock back to its original position.
After the armored vehicles and trucks entered the city, they did not immediately go to the Japanese headquarters. Instead, they merged with the first and second teams that had already entered the city.
The Sharp Sword Squadron has a total of five combat squads. The first four squads entered the city this time. The members of the fifth squad were divided into three parts to guide the artillery attacks for each siege artillery unit.
A figure appeared on the empty street ahead, waving. The team members in the cab of the armored vehicle took a closer look and saw that it was Li Changshun, the captain of the second team.
Following Li Changshun's gesture, the driver immediately drove the car into the alley, and the truck behind quickly followed.
After the armored vehicles and trucks drove into the alley, they immediately turned off their headlights and then turned off their engines.
Lu Yingjun, who was wearing a Japanese military uniform, opened the door and jumped out. Duan Peng and Li Changshun immediately stepped forward and raised their hands to salute: "Captain!"
Lu Yingjun nodded, then raised his hand and looked at his watch.
