Linqi Town, Lintun Highway, busy with traffic
A group of people from the 97th Army Headquarters, escorted by a main force group, prepared to cross the Lintun Highway and go deep into the Eighth Route Army's base area;
The commander of the 93rd Division marched straight in and reached 30 kilometers away. They fought and won consecutive battles. More than a few thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers were reported to have been annihilated. The main force of the Eighth Route Army had been driven dozens of kilometers away. It was time to pick peaches!
Zhu Badibing rode a tall horse, high-spirited, with spotless white gloves, holding a telescope and showing off on the Lintun Highway. Chief of Staff Major General Lin rode a Guisui pony to accompany him.
"Brother Lin, after passing Lintun Highway, you will reach the core area of the Eighth Route Army base area. The 93rd Division is making good progress. It is just around the corner to capture the Eighth Route Army headquarters. There is no need to be polite to the Eighth Route Army. Military solution is the only option!"
When Lin Shen saw that the military commander was very interested, he immediately joined in the fun:
"Military seat, this time the government launched a three-pronged attack. Commander Sun and the Army Commander were afraid of the Eighth Route Army and cowered together. Only our 97th Army took the lead and dared to take the responsibility and broke into the Eighth Route Army's base area in one fell swoop;
The military command was well directed and the soldiers on the front line fought with their lives. The Eighth Route Army lost their helmets and armor and retreated steadily. The frontline of the 93rd Division has been directed towards Wu'an Town, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. The banditry is quelled soon. Let Zhong Cai see who is the leader of the government. Pillar. "
Zhu Bading nodded with satisfaction and continued to show off:
"Brother Lin, I don't want to be promoted. I just want the bandits to be pacified!
I clean up the banditry for the country. As for personal honor and disgrace, I take it very lightly. It is the duty of our soldiers to share the worries of our species! "
Major General Lin couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised:
"What a poem, what a poem! I don't want to be promoted, I just want to bring peace to the troubles. You are really a model for our generation to learn from!"
If there are ordinary generals in the country who can reach the level of military throne, why worry about the banditry not being eliminated and the world being unfair?
The sage king who controls the world, with his sharp eyes like a torch, will definitely be able to see the military throne's unparalleled achievements. When this battle is over, brother, I will have to call you the commander-in-chief! "
Zhu Bading liked this tune, and Major General Lin scratched his itch, with a proud smile on his face.
Isn't the suppression of bandits meant to be suppressed only for the sake of the species?
"Brother Lin, Zhongcai will not treat meritorious soldiers badly. When the time comes, you will be indispensable as the commander of the 97th Army."
Everyone was carrying the sedan chair, and Zhu Bading drew a big cake for Major General Lin with his backhand. He had just painted this cake for Commander Cai of the 93rd Division. He was so proficient that there was no pressure at all when painting.
Just when the two people were lusting after each other, there was a faint sound of intensive gunfire from the front. Major General Lin was so frightened that he immediately shouted "Protect the military seat"!
Zhu Huaibing was also a person who had seen strong winds and waves. After the initial panic, he quickly calmed down and said loudly:
"Why are you panicking? What a shame! Come here and ask what's going on? Where did the intensive gunfire come from?"
After a while, the regiment responsible for perimeter security sent someone over to report the situation:
"Reporting to the military, the forward battalion encountered a small eight-pronged attack and is organizing troops to break through the eight-pronged defense line."
When Zhu Badibing heard that it was just a small group blocking the eight-way attack, he didn't take it seriously. He immediately ordered the troops to camp on the spot along both sides of the road. The military headquarters plus the escort group had four to five thousand men and guns, let alone a small group of troops. , even if thousands of Eighth Route Army troops came over, he wouldn't be afraid.
"Chief of Staff Lin, arrange the protection of the military headquarters, set up camp on the spot, rest for two hours, and bury the pot to make rice!"
It was almost noon, Zhu Huaibing was also hungry, and the troops also needed to replenish food. When an emergency happened, he just asked the troops to stop and rest.
Major General Lin was not just a flatterer, he still had basic military literacy. He arranged for the other two battalions of the escort regiment to occupy the high ground on both sides. The general guard was in the middle, and the guard post was even placed two kilometers away.
The difference between the Kuomintang army and the Japanese was that they did not pay much attention to civil engineering work. If it were the Japanese, they would dig fortifications first when the troops stopped, not to mention that there was already a fierce battle ahead. This is the difference between the two sides.
After Zhu Huaibing's military headquarters set up camp, definite news came from the front. There were about one battalion of the Eighth Route Army blocking the attack. Judging from the clothing and equipment, they were not the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but a second-line force similar to the militia.
When Zhu Bading heard that it was just a battalion of the Eighth Route Army, he didn't take it to heart and just stayed there, waiting for his meal.
A few kilometers away, Chu Xiong was using binoculars to observe the garrison situation of the 97th Army headquarters. The defense was doing a decent job, and he even knew how to send troops to occupy the high ground on both sides.
The highlands on both sides are about one kilometer away from the camp of the 97th Army, and are within the range of mortar strikes. The campsite chosen is along both sides of the road, with a relatively wide view. There is really nothing that can be done against him using conventional ambush methods;
The outer security sentry was placed three kilometers away and was still very cautious;
From Chu Xiong's point of view, Zhu Huaibing's troops were crazy and still had some urine. Unfortunately, it was Chu Xiong he encountered this time, and the special warfare tactics they used were commonly used decades later.
Think about the Afghan battlefield, where the local guerrillas relied on a simplified version of the 107 rocket launcher to defeat the powerful Goshawk Army and suffered heavy losses. This shows how difficult this tactic is.
Chu Xiong put down the telescope and said to Chen Yan:
"Chen Yan, you lead the Ma Dahu team to remove all the guard posts placed by the 97th Army on the outside and use crossbows to deal with them. I will shorten the attack distance to about one kilometer;
Since old boy Zhu Huaibing controls the high ground on both sides, let's sneak attack them from the middle. From a few hundred meters away, the people on the high ground on both sides can't see clearly a dozen of us. "
The technical work of touching whistles is commonplace for Chen Yan. After receiving the order from Chu Xiong, he led the Ma Dahu team straight towards the target.
The Ma Dahu team has a total of 15 people, divided into five groups. After they dispersed, they started to work...
Chu Xiong and Li Guoping's team continued to lurk, waiting for the clearing to be completed.
Meng Jiaqi was assigned to the Ma Dahu team. She had done a lot of work like touching whistles with Zhou Weiguo before. She always provided cover for Zhou Weiguo. Once there was a mistake in touching the whistle, she had to kill the target as soon as possible.
The hand crossbow of the Tiger Special Forces was an eye-opener for her. A few dozen meters away, her team discovered a set of guard posts of the stricken army. Two were bright and one was dark. The hidden sentry was hidden in a tree.
Two members of their team were holding crossbows and quietly approached the sentry of the stricken army, while she used a sniper rifle to lock the hidden sentry in the tree from a distance. She was sure to kill the opponent immediately.
A few minutes later, Tang Dapeng, the leader of their group, gestured to another team member to prepare for an attack. He first eliminated the hidden sentry, while the other team member was responsible for eliminating the two open sentinels.
Tang Dapeng approached from the flank of the secret whistle to a distance of 20 meters. The secret whistle was not alert at all and kept staring ahead with his eyes;
He aimed his crossbow at the opponent's neck and gently pulled the trigger;
"Bang!"
A crossbow bolt accurately hit An Shao's right neck and shot directly through his neck. The huge impact made An Shao fall from the tree!
Almost at the same time, another team member also shot an arrow at one of the sentinels, and the arrow hit his temple;
Another open whistle heard the sound of the secret whistle falling behind him, and turned around reflexively, his eyes filled with fear!
He almost watched as an arrow shot into his face at high speed, and Tang Dapeng shot another arrow at him. He was shot dead before he could figure out what was going on.
Tang Dapeng made a sign of deal with Meng Jiaqi's lurking direction, and Meng Jiaqi's index finger released the trigger.
Tang Dapeng and the two men continued to search for the guard posts of the stricken army...
In less than an hour, all the dozen or so security posts placed by the 97th Army on the periphery were cleared by Ma Dahu's team.
After receiving the message from Ma Dahu, Chu Xiong led Li Guoping's team to move forward with three Wei Shen cannons to a position about one kilometer away from the 97th Army headquarters;
"Zhou Dapao, this place is less than one kilometer away from the target, the rest of the work will be left to you!
After three rounds, the core area of the old boy's military headquarters was covered! "
