In the battle of Majiapo, 72 Japs were annihilated, plus the 54 annihilated before. After dividing the troops, the first company opened up the situation and seized a large amount of weapons and equipment, which they could only hide first.
Li Qing remembered the cave where the weapons were hidden before, and it came in handy again this time. He asked Yilian to bring as many bullets and grenades as possible, and send all the others to the cave to hide them, and take them out when needed.
This is a lot of equipment, enough to arm two platoons, and the first company has already expanded by 22 puppet troops, and there are no plans to expand the army for the time being.
They are now fighting on the move outside, and their troops must be capable, not more, the better. They will establish base areas when the time is right.
The first company was waiting for an ambush on the Japanese transport line. The second company had just pulled out a small stronghold and eliminated more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. It was considered a start. The third company destroyed a puppet army that went out to collect food and captured dozens of lines. gun;
Only the troops led by Chu Xiong have not opened yet. It's not that Chu Xiong doesn't have a chance, but because he smells a different smell, the smell of a storm that is about to come!
"The devil is planning to cause something big!"
Chu Xiong thought secretly in his heart.
Even though he was staying in Liuzhen, he didn't realize it. As soon as Chuxiong left Liuzhen, he could clearly feel the enemy's movements. Food and logistical supplies were being mobilized everywhere. On the contrary, the military strength of each small stronghold was shrinking. This was so abnormal!
He immediately contacted the ghosts in Anping City, and the news he received showed that Anping City was also raising a large amount of food and grass.
At this time, he was no longer interested in beating the Japs. In order to find out the Japs' true intentions, he planned to take the Tigers directly to Zezhou City. The target of the cavalry platoon was too big.
"Shuai Ma, you return to Liu Town immediately and tell the instructor to be prepared for the Japanese to send troops to Liu Town again; inform the first, second, and third companies not to spread their troops too thinly, and to be mentally prepared to assemble at any time!"
After Chu Xiong handed over the mission of the cavalry platoon, he led the Tigers special team and headed straight to Zezhou.
Zezhou is a big city, with not only many Japanese but also many puppet troops. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is one post every three steps, one sentry every five steps, and at least one gun tower every few hundred meters.
There are checkpoints at all entrances and exits. Passengers and merchants traveling in the past must show their certificates of good citizenship and undergo interrogation. Even convoys coming from various places to deliver food must undergo strict interrogation. The passwords change several times a day, so it is still very difficult to sneak in. challenging.
Fortunately, Chu Xiong didn't want to sneak into the city. If he wanted to get in, there were many ways. This level of security was fine for ordinary troops, but the defense against special forces was useless!
"Battalion Commander, look at another large group of supply trucks coming over there. This is already the fourth batch!"
Shi Shi said to Chu Xiong excitedly. He didn't know why he was excited. He really had never seen the world.
Chu Xiong despised a handful of rocks in his heart and continued to observe with his binoculars, because he found that the carriages that were covered tightly with tents were filled with Japs who were armed with live ammunition.
The Japanese are quietly increasing their troops in Zezhou City, and they are also secretive. Their attempt to hide the purpose of the campaign is obvious.
Zezhou City itself has a field regiment of Japs who are constantly moving troops from other places. Their target will definitely not be the little town of Liuzhen. Chuxiong is not so beautiful that the Japs will worry about using so many troops. Own.
Chu Xiong decided to continue taking a look. After all, the direction of the Japs' use of troops is not obvious now. It depends on the scale of the Japs' use of troops.
Majia Village, a series of ambush positions
After taking aim at the Japs supply line for a while, Li Qing was finally ready to take action against the Japs!
This time he did not choose Liujiawa, which was most suitable for an ambush. The terrain there was good, but it was also the most likely to alert the Japanese.
Since the ambush of the Shanshan Squadron, their presence has aroused the vigilance of the Japanese. If Liujiawa is chosen for the ambush at this time, they may be discovered by the Japanese first.
Li Qing chose the ambush point on an unknown slope just a few hundred meters north of Liujiawa. The Japanese convoy would easily relax their vigilance after leaving Liujiawa, which was the most suitable place for an ambush. The road from Changping to Zezhou was as long as a month. For more than 100 kilometers, it is difficult for the Japanese convoy to be on high alert throughout the entire journey because they also have to hurry.
After carefully passing Liujiawa, a normal person's thinking would be to speed up and make up for the time lost in Liujiawa. What Li Qing wanted was this moment of relaxation.
Li Qing sent people to plant cluster grenades on the road in advance. They used Jin-made long-handled grenades that were captured by the puppet army. This was not made in the border area and exploded in two. The quality of the weapons and ammunition produced by Taiyuan Arsenal was still very good. Yes, it's a pity that the devil got the advantage!
More than twenty pellets were buried, six pellets were tied into a bundle, and a thin rope was used to connect the fuse, which only required one pull;
The person responsible for detonating the explosion was Ma Xiaowu, squad leader of the fifth squadron of the second platoon. He was most familiar with the terrain near Majia Village. Pulling the fuse facilitated quick evacuation.
The detonation time of the grenade is only seven seconds, and the timing of detonation must be grasped, so a backbone was sent up.
After waiting for more than an hour, the Japanese convoy finally entered the vicinity of Liujiawa, with more than a dozen transport vehicles!
This batch of supplies was the last batch sent to Zezhou from Changping. The quantity was larger than before, so more guards were sent, two squads in total, led by Captain Sugiyama, an old acquaintance of the company.
The last time the Sugiyama Squadron was ambushed by the First Company, more than half of its troops and equipment were lost. When they returned, the commander of the reinforcement team cursed him, but he still used supplementary troops to replenish their establishment. This time, he was the one who made up for the attack by escorting the baggage. an opportunity.
Majia Village can be said to be his sad place. Since he had just been ambushed twice, he was very cautious this time.
Before the convoy entered Liujiawa, he sent several motorcycles responsible for clearing the road in front to search inside Hulukou and asked them to expand the search scope to a few hundred meters on both sides of the road. He would rather lose these search teams than dare to have any. Not at all careless.
"Mr. Zegu, you must search carefully with the search team. If there is an ambush in Liujiawa's terrain, the convoy will be in a dilemma after entering. It is related to the safety of supplies. Please!"
After the old man Sugiyama finished speaking, he bowed carefully to Second Lieutenant Sawaya. His body was bent at ninety degrees, which moved Second Lieutenant Sawaya to tears.
"Don't worry, squadron leader, Zegu will definitely fulfill his mission!"
After Zegu finished speaking, he stepped onto the first Sandouzi with the command knife in hand. With a finger of the command knife, the search team headed straight for Liujiawa.
After Zegu entered Liujiawa's gourd, he began to search carefully. Every few minutes, machine guns would sound rhythmically. Several hundred meters on both sides of the road were within his search range. It was really not surprising. It is good to hide a company of ambushes.
Outside Hulukou, Captain Sugiyama stopped the convoy, with the machine gun on the front of the car alerting both sides, and waited patiently for Zetani to return after searching.
He would only dare to enter after Zetani and others returned safely. Although it was a waste of time, Sugiyama did not intend to omit this process. Safety came first.
