Miaohua did not let the commando continue the attack. He knew that there would be no organized Japanese resistance from here to Jinjiazhai, but artillery support was needed to break through the defense line outside Jinjiazhai. As long as you pass the Jinjiazhai, you can go straight into the Pengjiazhai. Not only can you join Zhou Wen, but you can also block the Japanese army's retreat.
So Miaohua ordered a detachment to rest temporarily and wait for the artillery to come up.
The artillery arrived very quickly. They dragged the gun mounts with them and quickly set up six mountain cannons on the original Japanese position. The two mortar companies followed the infantry company and set up guns nearby to fire.
Five minutes later, Miaohua looked at the brothers who were still fighting high, waved her hand and said, "Let's go."
…
Just when the Chinese army launched the attack, Zhou Wen's team was still several kilometers away from Peng's house. There was no way, they were coming from the south side of the temple, so they would definitely have to take a lot of detours, but he was not in a hurry.
Even if the Japanese military command finds that the Chinese army has begun to counterattack, it will take time to understand the situation on the battlefield and issue various orders at the same time. At such a critical moment, the headquarters will generally not be transferred quickly, otherwise it will easily cause command inconvenience.
There were no large Japanese troops in front of Zhou Wen, so he accelerated his advance.
At about 9 o'clock in the night, Zhou Wen finally arrived at Peng's house. He knew that this was the headquarters of the Japanese army without even having to investigate Zhou Wen.
Because they had already discovered at least three Japanese patrol teams before they reached the village entrance. The deployment of so many security forces behind such a front must be to protect important targets.
Pengjiazhai is a small village with more than a dozen households. Most of the houses have been destroyed by artillery fire. There are only a few intact houses in the north. Zhou Wen asked Zhang Xiaoping and the others to hide on the spot, but he used the cover of night to circle around the entire village and began to investigate.
There are lights and rumbling machines in the village. Zhou Wen knew that this was the sound of a diesel generator, which further confirmed his judgment.
He carefully avoided several hidden sentries of the Japanese army, and found a defensive position built by the Japanese army to the west of the village. Many Japanese soldiers were warming themselves up and chatting in the position. Zhou Wen could clearly hear their voices. It seemed that the guards of this command post The Japanese had no less than one squadron.
Zhou Wen slowly moved to the north of the village. It was not far from the bank of Yunzao Bang, and he could just see the houses in the distance. He took out his binoculars and looked quietly in the darkness toward the light.
Sure enough, Japanese troops came in and out of several houses, especially the large tiled house with white plaster walls in the middle. Zhou Wen discovered the antenna on the roof with the faint light.
"It's a good idea to bring Zhou Yongbin here this time. He discovered Japanese spies before, and now he's discovered the Japanese headquarters. What a genius!" Zhou Wen said secretly proudly.
Now Zhou Wen has two plans in his mind. One is simple and crude but relatively safe, which is to let Xu Dacheng set up artillery attacks outside the village. There are a total of 10 6.9 kg heavy artillery shells lying in his Buddha Bead space, which are used in several houses. Instead of firing 10 rounds, it only takes 5 rounds to ensure that all those houses are destroyed. And after the fight, they evacuated directly, found a place to hide, and waited for the large troops to come up. This is also the purpose why he selected Xu Dacheng to join the team.
But the problem is that shelling may not necessarily kill the Japanese commander. If he escapes by chance or is injured but survives, it will be difficult to kill him under the protection of nearly 200 Japanese troops.
The other plan is much more dangerous, which is to first sneak attack and then attack by force, rush directly into the headquarters and kill all the Japanese soldiers in the room, and then use these houses as a basis to resist the Japanese army's retaliatory attack until the large forces arrive.
After carefully observing the conditions of these houses again, he gradually made up his mind.
Zhou Wen retreated to the hiding place of the team, signaled Zhang Xiaoping to be alert, then shook off his cloak, and five heads got into the cloak. Zhou Wen turned on the flashlight and marked out the distribution of the Japanese troops on a piece of paper, and then began to arrange a surprise attack plan.
Ten minutes later, six black figures quietly moved to the east of Peng's house. This direction was behind the Japanese army and just avoided the Japanese position to the west of the village. The defensive force was relatively weak. Zhou Wen was preparing to launch an attack from here.
Zhou Wen finally chose the most dangerous but fastest solution to the problem.
Raid into the village, completely destroy the Japanese headquarters and kill the Japanese commander.
He didn't want to leave any regrets for himself, and after observing the conditions of those houses, he became confident in holding on to the largest tiled house, but how long he could hold on would depend on improvisation. He believed in himself, and also Believe it brothers.
At this time, everyone was checking the Ruger P08 artillery pistol with a silencer. Under the handle was a snail-shaped drum, which was filled with 32 rounds of 9mm Parabellum pistol bullets. It was effective. The range reaches 150 meters.
This is why Zhou Wen wanted to buy this kind of pistol at all costs. It has a long range, high accuracy, and many bullets. This is the time for it to show its talents.
In addition to a Luger pistol each, Liu Hei carried a G-13 machine gun, and Zhang Xiaoping, Ti Jing and Er Gazi all had Suomi submachine guns.
Xu Dacheng is carrying a mortar without a bracket. Now Xu Dacheng can hold the barrel with his right hand and load the ammunition with his left hand without the bracket. Although the 81 mm caliber barrel is slightly thicker Some, but within 10 consecutive artillery rounds, he, the third humanoid mule and artillery master of the mercenary group, can still control it, and can still guarantee the hit rate.
This is what Zhou Wen asked him repeatedly during training.
You must know that if the 81mm Brandt mortar is equipped with a bracket, it weighs 59 kilograms. Even Xu Dacheng cannot carry such heavy equipment for a long distance, not to mention that he must also carry a pistol and other equipment, like today The rapid interspersion of more than ten kilometers requires crawling, cat-walking, galloping and jumping, etc. In the middle, even a real mule will fall down from fatigue.
So today's mortar only has the barrel and base, a total of 40 kilograms. That's why Zhou Wen and several others brought the cannon over by changing their backs. Therefore, the cannonballs can only be installed in Zhou Wen's Buddhist bead space. Otherwise, if another nearly 70 kilograms of cannonballs arrive, everyone will probably fall down from exhaustion.
In addition to the submachine gun, Ti Jing also carried a backpack full of German long-handled grenades.
Zhou Wen's main weapon is still his usual G-31 semi-automatic rifle. Even at night, he can hit a target at a distance of 200 meters. What's more, the moonlight is very powerful today and he has not hidden in the clouds. Zhou Wen is confident that he can extend the shooting range. About 300 meters.
In this case, even at night, the firepower of this small team is very impressive, and it can take care of both the distance and the near. This is where Zhou Wen's confidence lies.
Next, they waited silently, waiting for the moment of attack to arrive.
