At dawn on the third day, Pang Dun had already returned with relevant news.
"There is a Japs squadron in Xifeng Town. There are Japs strongholds on the east and west sides of the town. There are Japs squads patrolling the surrounding area and the guards are quite tight. To the east of the town, there is a friendly force stationed. It is said to be a Jiang Defense Regiment. .Due to time urgency, the specific situation is unknown.”
Pang Dun reported the general situation, and Wen San fell into deep thought for a short time. Judging from the attitude of the Japanese, their reaction seemed a bit nervous. With the Japanese's arrogant personality and the strength of a squadron, how could they look down upon the Jiang Defense Regiment composed of a miscellaneous army.
"Have you seen the Japanese warships on the Yangtze River?" Wen San asked again.
"I didn't see the warship, but there were two cargo ships docked on the shore, unloading their cargo in the middle of the night. The Japanese were closely guarding them, so I don't know what they were." Pang Dun thought about it for a moment.
"There's probably something wrong with this batch of goods." Wen San suddenly understood the key point. What made the Japanese nervous must be the things unloaded from the cargo ship.
"What's the problem?" Pang Dun asked casually.
"Maybe it's poison gas bombs. The Japs lost a lot of troops when they attacked the first line of defense, and the second line of defense is stronger. If they attack by force, the number of casualties will be even greater. Given the vicious nature of the Japs, they will probably use more extreme weapons. arms."
The first thing Wen San thought of was this. The Japanese did this kind of thing all the time, even though such behavior was not allowed by the so-called international treaties.
"Poison gas bombs? The Japanese Japanese are too crazy! They used poison gas bombs in the Battle of Songhu, but they didn't expect it to happen again this time!" Pang Dun was particularly angry, "Company Commander, these gas bombs must be eliminated!"
The news quickly spread throughout the entire team like the wind. The soldiers were furious, and they all gnashed their teeth in hatred. The Japanese sarin gas bombs were very terrifying and left a very deep impression on the Chinese people.
Before Wen San could convene everyone for a combat meeting, all the platoon leaders came over on their own initiative.
"Company Commander, we must capture Xifeng. We must not let his batch of gas bombs be used on the defenders' defense lines." Lao Wan was the first to speak, with a heavy tone but a firm will.
"Yes, Xifeng Town must be captured! With just one squadron of Japanese soldiers, they can be captured by force attack. Our platoon can charge with the main force, no matter what the cost..." Tintin Mao'er was more direct, grabbing the main attack task as soon as he opened his mouth. .
"One platoon will not be enough for the main charge. Our second platoon must join in." Li Baisha also spoke quickly.
"Okay, all of you, shut up. The Japs are guarding their strongholds tightly, and a strong attack is definitely a lose-lose strategy. What if the Japs get anxious and take out those gas bombs to deal with us?" Wen San immediately pressed down. The platoon leaders' eagerness to fight was reduced.
"Fighting the Japanese is very important, but we cannot act recklessly." After Wen San finished speaking, he began to think deeply again.
This time everyone shut up obediently. They all understood that the company commander was thinking about tactics. This is the key to victory for all officers and soldiers of the company.
After thinking for a while, Wen San made a decision.
"Today we are going to have breakfast in the Japanese barracks. Do you have the courage?" Wen San looked at several platoon leaders with provocative eyes.
"As long as the company commander dares to go, we have nothing to fear!" Lao Wan immediately expressed his stance.
"Yes, wherever the company commander points, we will hit."
"Let's play something else this time! Everyone put on the Japs' clothes and get me a set with the Japs' captain rank, as well as white gloves and a command knife!" Wen San was preparing to pretend to be the Japs squadron leader.
Under his guidance, most of them took action. They already had a lot of Japs clothes, plus all the Japs equipment. As long as you dress up a little, you will look like a Japanese army.
The only problem is that except for Wen San, almost no one knows the Japanese language.
"Each squad platoon leader must also change into the corresponding Japanese military rank, ranging from sergeant, captain, second lieutenant, and lieutenant. You don't have to speak, but your attitude must be arrogant and your expression must be arrogant..." Wen San began to instruct everyone. The squad leader practices his expression management.
In fact, these guys have been a little arrogant recently, but they have been suppressed by Wen San, so they don't dare to show that arrogant look. This time Wen San asked them to do this, which was not much different from the actual performance.
Under Wen San's deliberate request, each one acted like an arrogant Japanese officer, and did not look at anyone seriously. Officers above the rank of second lieutenant not only put on white gloves, but also found charcoal ash and painted mustaches on the philtrum.
This appearance, although not 100%, at least 80% or 90% resembles that of a Japanese.
Looking at the dressed-up appearance of the brothers in front of him, Wen San laughed. Afterwards, we agreed with them on a series of issues such as the signal to take action and how each department would replace the Japanese sentry patrols.
"Everyone understands, right? The whole team is setting off, and we will go directly to Xifeng Town."
The whole team moved again, and the people walking in front raised the Japs plaster flag, forming a proper Japs team. As long as they don't speak, it's difficult for others to easily tell.
An hour and a half later, Wen San's team had arrived outside Xifeng Town.
A Japanese patrol team ran over quickly. They were a little nervous at first, but they all raised their guns. After seeing their attire clearly, they relaxed.
"My squadron, Inoue, was ordered by the headquarters to go to Xifeng Town and take over the relevant defense of the town. I asked your squadron leader to come and see me."
Wen San pushed away the Japanese captain arrogantly, staring at him with his big eyes like an eagle. The team leader originally wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense at this moment. He quickly nodded and bowed and ordered the team to get out of the way.
When such a large team entered the town, it was impossible for the Japanese commander not to miss it. The squadron leader stationed in the town came quickly.
"Inoue-kun, you have worked hard all the way. I am Asada Orhisagi, the commander of this squadron." The Japanese squadron leader Asada Orihisa walked up quickly, looking like he was licking a dog.
He did receive an order from the headquarters that two squadrons of troops were coming to Xifeng Town. The commander of this unit, Inoue Conscience, had just eliminated a main enemy group and received a commendation from the headquarters.
Maybe after leaving Xifeng Town, Inoue Conscience will not only be promoted to major, but also become a glorious captain. Asada Orihisa had never met Inoue Conscience in person, and had never thought that the squadron leader was someone else's fake.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. We, the Imperial Army of Japan, shall be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." Wen San imitated the Japs' way of speaking with a serious face, and even bent down to show respect.
Since the other party didn't recognize him, he had to stabilize the situation first.
"Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Asada Orhisa also said something, it would be okay not to accept this.
"Well, I think there is a problem with your defense here. Withdraw all your people, and my people will be stationed in the future." Wen San changed the topic and immediately got into the actual operation.
