According to the intelligence provided by the military commander, there was a squad of Japanese soldiers and a platoon of puppet soldiers in this Japanese and puppet stronghold. Every three days, people will be sent to deliver supplies to the nearby Japanese squadron station. As long as the Japanese and puppet troops stationed here stay for more than half a month, they will be replaced for half a month. After Tang Cheng left Chongqing, he kept speeding up his march to gain time, in order to get here and launch an attack before the Japanese and puppet troops in this stronghold took their turn.
After seeing clearly the situation at the stronghold, Tang Cheng immediately made a gesture, and the two team members following him immediately dispersed and moved to a bunker. The bunker has only one small door at the back and two shooting holes in the front, facing the front and side of the bunker at a 60-degree angle respectively. Seeing that the two men had taken out grenades and were ready to fight, Tang Cheng took off the charge gun he had been carrying from his back.
g, walked straight past the two bunkers, and moved to a position where he could see the two rows of houses at a glance.
After a few breaths, a whistle sounded, and the two team members who had been prepared for a long time each pulled the grenade ring and threw the grenade into the bunker from the bunker's firing hole. "Boom! Boom!" Along with two explosions, fire burst out in the night. At this time, Tang Cheng had already raised the charge gun in his hand.
g, advancing all the way with small steps, the muzzle of the gun pointed at the two rows of houses directly in front of him. The sudden explosion not only pierced the night, but also woke up the sleeping Japanese and puppet troops in the house.
The Japanese soldiers reacted the fastest. Just as Tangcheng moved forward a few meters, a shirtless Japanese soldier rushed out of the room on the far left with a rifle. The explosion of the grenade was the signal to attack, so without any hesitation, Tang Cheng immediately pulled the trigger back with his finger that had already been on the trigger. "Da da da..." It was just a simple shot. The Japanese who rushed out of the house fell on their backs and fell outside the door with the sound of gunfire.
The sound of explosions and gunshots completely awakened all the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the room. After Tang Cheng shot and killed many people in succession, the Japanese soldiers who were blocked in the room no longer rushed out recklessly. As for the puppet soldiers, no one came out from the beginning to the end, and they didn't even shoot out through the windows. The two team members who had already cleared the bunker were each holding charge qia at this time.
g, moved from both sides of the house towards the house where the Japanese soldiers lived.
For night raids like this, members of the arrest team will conduct drills almost every two or three days. Therefore, without any need for Tang Cheng to say anything, the two freed-up team members had already cooperated with Tang Cheng, who was in the front position, to encircle the house of the Japanese soldiers. Perhaps sensing that something was wrong, the Japanese soldiers who were blocked in the house by Tang Cheng began to shoot outside from the windows and doors, and then someone was preparing to blow up the back wall with grenades.
But they forgot that it was already late at night, and there were no lights outside the house. They were blocked in the house and could not find the location of Tangcheng. "Boom!" A grenade exploded very close to the door of the house. The blast of air instantly knocked the two Japanese soldiers who fired at the door into the house. Before the blast of the explosion dissipated, the next grenade swirled into the house from outside. After two grenades were fired, there was no movement in the house where the Japanese soldiers lived, but the three people from Tang Cheng outside the house did not dare to take it lightly.
It was already two minutes after it was confirmed that the Japanese soldiers in the room were dead or injured. At this time, Tang Cheng finally remembered that there were two platoons of puppet soldiers here. From the beginning, the puppet soldiers who were also blocked in the room gave up their resistance. No matter how the Japanese troops yelled and yelled, these puppet soldiers just couldn't get out and completely regarded themselves as deaf and blind. "Get out of here! If you let me know that you are doing things for the Japanese again, you won't be so lucky next time!"
In the open space outside the house, Tang Cheng looked around at the piles of puppet soldiers standing in front of him. He knew that there must be hardcore traitors among these puppet soldiers without him having to identify them one by one. The reason why these die-hard traitors did not shoot to resist was simply because they were afraid of death. As long as he lets them go, these guys will definitely report to the Japanese army, and this is exactly what Tang Cheng wants to see. When the three men from Tangcheng, who were uninjured, returned to the river with the two grenades they had mixed up, the other two groups of members of the Japanese and puppet troops had also returned successfully.
Mr. Cao was very puzzled by this, so Tang Cheng could only patiently explain it to him. "I never believe what the Japanese say! The exchange location you agreed with them seems safe, but in fact it is still within the control area of the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops. If they intend to hold us back, the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops will It doesn’t take much, just a small team is needed to completely keep us here. In order for the exchange the day after tomorrow to go smoothly, I can only use the remaining time to cause as much trouble as possible for the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops. Hopefully it will divert their attention.”
"Only by mobilizing them as much as possible, when we go to exchange hostages with the Japanese, the situation will be beneficial to us. By then, by the time they react, we will have already gone far." Tangcheng said It may be more thorough, but it's a pity that Mr. Cao comes from a martial arts background and doesn't understand what he said to Tangcheng at all. The next morning, when the genius dawned, Tang Cheng hurried on. He didn't want to waste the remaining time.
As lunch time approached, Tangcheng and the others finally arrived, five kilometers away from the exchange point, after walking and stopping all the way. Looking at the flat terrain ahead, Tang Cheng finally understood why the Japanese chose to exchange hostages here. Although Mr. Cao knew nothing about military affairs, he also knew that the terrain in front of them was very unfavorable to them. Tang Cheng was worried about Mr. Cao, but he smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter! If there are no conditions, we will create the conditions ourselves!"
Throughout the afternoon, Mr. Cao and the men he brought with him only did one thing, and that was to dig trenches at selected locations in Tangcheng with engineering shovels. However, Tang Cheng and his team members worked in pairs to conduct a detailed survey and understanding of the terrain around the exchange point. After dinner, Tangcheng did not give Mr. Cao and the others any time to rest, and continued to let them dig trenches and foxholes to make final preparations for tomorrow's exchange. It was only then that Mr. Cao finally understood Tang Cheng's intention.
The next morning, Huang Cheng, who had been eager to try, took one of Mr. Cao's men, carrying the American 60mm mortar and all the shells, to the selected location in Tangcheng to hide early. The mortar controlled by Huang Cheng was Tangcheng's only means of long-range fire support, so Tangcheng arranged them a kilometer away from the exchange point. Two sniper rifles, respectively controlled by Tang Cheng and another team member, were ambushed on both sides of the exchange point early on, while the remaining team members were hidden in the trenches less than 200 meters away from the exchange point.
Without knowing the specific situation of the opponent, Tangcheng's arrangement is considered to have done its best. Next, it depends on whether the opponent wants to play tricks. When there was only a quarter of an hour left before eight o'clock in the morning, a convoy appeared in the distance. Tang Cheng could see clearly from the scope of the sniper rifle that two military trucks and three three-wheeled motorcycles were coming. Like Mr. Cao, the other party was also very cautious. The two military trucks stopped far away and did not follow them.
Mr. Cao, one of the exchange parties, was secretly nervous at this time, but he did not forget Tang Cheng's previous explanation and could only suppress the panic in his heart. Mr. Cao's nephew was in a motorcycle that was coming over. But before Mr. Cao could get happy, a Japanese officer who got off one of the motorcycles brought bad news to Mr. Cao. "Second Lieutenant Onomichi, we have already agreed before. When I go to Chongqing to get your two people back, you will return my nephew to me."
The Japanese second lieutenant standing opposite Mr. Cao also looked a little ashamed at this moment, but his attitude was still tough. "Boss Cao, you have to understand that I was not the one who negotiated terms with you before! You have to know that I am an imperial officer and exchanging personnel with you privately is problematic in itself. I took such a big risk, shouldn't I? Should I ask for some compensation?" Second Lieutenant Onomichi felt that his additional request was not excessive, not to mention that all he wanted was some worthless food.
But Mr. Cao didn't want to continue to quarrel with the guy in front of him, "Second Lieutenant Onomichi, if you want more money, I can supply it to you. But what you want now is food, and you have to wait until I get it. Return the person to me. Don't you think your request is too much? More importantly, even if I get your food, how can I send it here?" The anger expressed by Mr. Cao, Onomichi The second lieutenant didn't care at all.
"Money! I don't want it! I just want food!" Second Lieutenant Onomichi grinned, turned around and pointed at the young man on the motorcycle not far away, and smiled at Mr. Cao. "Boss Cao, you have to understand that I am not negotiating terms with you, I am asking you! If you want your nephew back, you can, but you must exchange it for food. As for the two empires you brought Businessman, I'm sorry, they have nothing to do with me, so it's okay if you don't give it to me."
Second Lieutenant Onomichi's attitude made Mr. Cao's heart instantly freeze. The two Japanese businessmen that I had worked so hard to get back from Chongqing turned out to be useless bargaining chips. Doesn't this mean that I have no advantage at all? Just when Mr. Cao was hesitating secretly, a whistling sound suddenly sounded in the air, and a shell fell from the air, hitting a military truck in the distance.
