"Sir, don't shoot, we surrender now..." The eight puppet soldiers quickly threw away their weapons and walked out of the ruins with their heads in their hands.
Huang Yong looked puzzled. Apart from ruins, there were barracks here. It didn't seem to have any defensive value!
There are loopholes everywhere in the outer defense line of the stronghold. The Japanese army even detached a squad of limited troops to guard here. It was so strange. I quickly asked: "Why are you guarding here? Do you want to be a deserter?"
The leader of the puppet army squad leader quickly reported: "Behind is the stronghold ammunition depot...the imperial army...no...it's the little devils...they asked us to protect the arsenal..."
"Two people were just killed, and there are eight left!"
"The stronghold ammunition depot?" Huang Yong's eyes immediately became hot. He stared at the puppet squad leader and ordered: "Take me there quickly..."
When you open the warehouse, the first thing you see is a large number of ammunition boxes...
They come in different sizes, some hold bullets, some hold artillery shells and grenades...
Dozens of rifles were stacked behind the ammunition box, including 38-inch caps and Hanyang-made rifles... Two crooked handles were placed aside. When the flashlight was shined, bursts of blue light were reflected. At a glance, one could tell that the rifles were oiled and well-maintained.
"I'm getting rich... I didn't expect that I, Huang Yong, would also get rich..." Huang Yong became more and more happy as he watched. After sighing, he ordered a subordinate: "Leave the first squad to protect the ammunition depot and put up the crooked handles inside. No one can approach the arsenal without orders from me and the battalion commander..."
"Others continue to attack me..."
"The first and second companies have already rushed up. If we don't hurry up, the Japanese in the stronghold will be divided up by them..."
Ten minutes later, the gunfire in the stronghold became weaker and weaker...
After another five minutes, the gunfire in the stronghold stopped completely...
Huang Yong was the first to rush out of the stronghold and went straight to Huang Yu: "Batalion Commander... we won..."
"Except for the fifty-odd Japanese prisoners of war...all the remaining Japanese and puppet troops were killed..."
"The third company sacrificed 33 soldiers and seriously injured 11 people..."
"We also took down the ammunition depot from the stronghold...it was full of ammunition. There were thirty or forty boxes of various bullets alone..."
Wei Dayong ran over shortly after: "The first and second companies took advantage of the third company, and there were almost no casualties on the offensive... In the final decisive battle, a total of 34 people were sacrificed and 13 were seriously injured..."
"The stronghold was too messy, with ruins everywhere. The wounded Japanese were hiding in it, and they were unable to protect themselves. More than a dozen soldiers were killed and injured by their grenades..."
"One of the two mortars equipped at the stronghold was blown up and one was captured..."
"One of the two heavy machine guns was buried and the other was captured..."
"The other trophies are still being counted... there should be a lot of them!"
What surprised Wei Dayong and Huang Yong was that Huang Yu not only did not show any smile on his face, but instead frowned and fell into deep thought.
A minute later, he suddenly spoke: "All the lightly and seriously wounded were left to clean up the battlefield... The third company left the platoon with the greatest losses to guard the wounded, and other troops replenished ammunition on the spot, and the assembly was completed within ten minutes... Tonight's operation was still It’s not over!”
"Remember to bring the captured light machine guns with you, and strive to equip each infantry squad with two light machine guns..."
"If it's not enough, I'll add more later..."
"Xiao Li..." Huang Yu immediately turned his attention to the guard.
"Take a man and ride back to the regiment headquarters... tell the regiment commander that we have captured the Japanese rapid force and the Pingyang stronghold in Pingshun County, and also captured two infantry guns, five mortars, and a large amount of ammunition!"
"The group's secret plan can begin!"
On the road from Anyang Town to the Hekou stronghold, more than 400 Eighth Route Army troops who had just withdrawn from Pingyang were panting and rushing on their way.
Two personnel carriers walked in the middle of the team, carrying all the heavy machine guns and mortars newly captured by the troops to reduce the load on the troops. Huang Yu set an example and marched on two legs with the soldiers.
After running two kilometers, Wei Dayong and Huang Yong caught up with him.
"Battal Commander, what is the secret plan you just mentioned? Can you tell us whether we have a big battle to fight next, and are we going to attack the Hekou stronghold now?" Wei Dayong asked several questions.
Huang Yong showed a worried expression, and looked at Huang Yu's nervous look and reminded: "Battalion Commander, the troops will be too tired after fighting so many big battles in one night!"
"If an accident occurs, the morale of the troops that has finally been raised will definitely fall to the bottom again... You must be cautious!"
"As long as the layout is good, accidents will not happen!" Huang Yu answered confidently!
"This is the second step of the battle plan formulated by the regiment leader...it will only be executed if the first step of the battle plan is successfully completed!"
"If something unexpected happens to the first step of the battle plan, or it is not completed satisfactorily, the second step of the plan will be aborted before it even starts..."
"The leader didn't announce it to everyone!"
"Now that the second step of the battle plan has begun, there is no need to hide it from you!"
"It's three o'clock in the morning, there are still three to four hours until dawn..."
"The Pingyang stronghold is less than 20 kilometers away from the Hekou stronghold. The troops can march through it in more than three hours!"
"If everything goes well, we can reach the river mouth stronghold before six o'clock in the morning..."
"The troops rested for a minute or twenty, and then launched an attack... We strive to end the battle within half an hour and capture the river mouth stronghold..."
The Japanese rapid force in Shunping County has been wiped out by us, and there are less than 400 Japanese soldiers left in the city. No matter how courageous they are, they do not dare to send troops for reinforcements rashly! "
"This is the perfect opportunity for us to take the initiative to attack the little devils and mess up Shunping County!"
"When Baoding sends reinforcements to Shunping, it will be difficult for us to capture the Hekou stronghold!"
"In addition to the first battalion, after receiving my news, the second and third battalions will also attack in company units as organic units!"
"In addition to the three strongholds built by the Japanese and puppet troops in Shunping, there are also a large number of traitor armed forces controlled by the Maintenance Council!"
"Old Huang has been staying in the Duer Regiment. He should know the maintenance committees in enemy-occupied areas better than we do!"
"There are many fertile fields in the Yizhong Plain, and the grain output is high. If you kill any maintenance guild, you will get more than if we captured a town in northwestern Shanxi..."
"The main force attacks in company units. Before the Shunping County Japs get support, if one company captures three maintenance guilds, the main force of the regiment can capture more than 20 maintenance guilds. This will not only greatly improve the morale of the troops, but also We can also seize a large amount of loot and disrupt the enemy-occupied areas so that the Japanese have no time to raid us!"
"We will first capture the stronghold at the entrance of the cave. If conditions permit, we will then capture the last stronghold against us in Shunping. Then our troops will march day and night and rush to the only road that must pass through Shunping in Baoding to lie in wait!"
"If you are lucky, you will encounter two fat sheep and slaughter them before returning to the base!"
"If you're not lucky, you can still take the opportunity to find out how many reinforcements Baoding has sent to Shunping, how the little devil will use these reinforcements, and how they will deal with us next!"
The second update arrived today! Please order in full!
