The task force has been active near HD City for a long time.
He knew the traitors of the nearby detective team and the common people who acted as informants for the traitors.
Many ordinary people are red-skinned and white-hearted.
Guo Xing did not object to Hu Yi's request for close reconnaissance.
In his heart, he thought Hu Yi didn't trust his work.
Everyone is at the battalion level and has equal positions. Obviously, the county brigade work team cannot compare with the two battalion commanders from the supplementary regiment and the independent regiment.
Seeing that Wang Peng also said that he should conduct reconnaissance first, Captain Guo had no choice but to ask Captain Jia to lead Wang Peng and another team member to lead Wang Dashan. He personally led Hu Yi into the Qingsha Zhang.
Their respective tasks are different. Wang Peng goes to the south of the city, Hu Yi goes to the east of the city, and Wang Dashan goes to the north of the city.
In ten or twenty days, it will be the wheat harvest season.
In the early years, guerrilla activities were frequent, and the Japanese made specific requirements for the planting of crops outside the city: it was forbidden to grow sorghum, corn and other crops that could hide people within five miles of the county seat, and only sweet potatoes were allowed to be grown.
It is prohibited to plant sorghum and corn in patches within ten miles of the county seat.
In fields more than a hundred meters apart, only sweet potatoes and other crops that cannot hide people can be grown.
The moat surrounding the ancient city is more than fifty meters wide. Swimming in the river is a perfect target for the enemy.
About five miles away from the city wall, a blockade ditch was dug around the city, and a gun tower was set up about one mile away.
The defense force was responsible for guarding the blockhouses, and the villages outside the blockhouses had reconnaissance teams and ordinary people who served as informants for the reconnaissance teams.
During the day, a Japanese armored vehicle went out on patrol.
The entire ancient city is impregnable
Captain Guo and Hu arrived near the blockade ditch in the east of the blockade city and could not get any closer.
The two of them were hiding on the edge of the sorghum field. Captain Guo pointed to the towering tower not far away: "This is the Wang'anbao stronghold that you want to destroy in this mission. There are more than a dozen Japanese and more than 30 puppet troops inside." "
On the gentle slope beside the river stood a gun tower more than five feet high. The ones I had seen before were much larger.
A wall about three meters high was built next to the stronghold, and fortifications half a person's height were built outside the wall.
There are also three bunkers set up in the north and southeast directions of the fortification.
It seems that the Japanese have been operating this stronghold for many years and it is not easy to attack.
Hu Yi put down the telescope, pulled out the map and began to mark the locations of each blockhouse. He said smoothly: "Can you tell me in detail about the situation in the nearby blockhouses?"
"There are more enemies in the stronghold. In the artillery towers that are not by the road, there are only four or five Japs and more than ten puppet troops. The Japs soldiers take shifts every half a month. The puppet troops are stationed for a long time and have two days off every half month. The puppets have two days off every half month. The army often extorted people and merchants who passed by, working two shifts during the day and night. Usually, the Japs stayed on the second floor part of the time, and occasionally came out to go fishing and swimming in the river. Aunt Zhou from the nearby village would go to the stronghold every afternoon. Washing clothes for puppet soldiers and devils”
"What's the layout of the county?"
"The railway starts from the west of the county seat, and the Fuyang River passes through the city from north to south." Captain Guo said here, pointing to the front: "The river to the west of the gun tower is called Zhizhang River, and there is a stone arch bridge on it. A group of five people went directly Go five or six miles east of the city.
The two were talking.
A three-wheeled motorcycle led the way, followed by an armored vehicle coming from the direction of the county town.
Captain Guo looked at the Japanese armored motorcycles in the distance with an excited look on his face: "The enemy often patrols, usually once in the morning and once in the afternoon. After we laid several mines on the road and launched several ambushes, the enemy did not dare to patrol at night." come out"
The two of them were hiding in the sorghum field, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered by the enemy: "How long will it take to blow up the stone bridge over the Fuyang River to the west of the Wang'anbao gun tower and allow the Japanese to detour from the north to the south?"
Captain Guo picked up Hu Yi's telescope and looked at the Japanese and armored vehicles in the distance: "It will take about half an hour."
Hu Yi began to collect the map: "If the county brigade's robbery of the execution ground does not go smoothly, should we cross the big stone bridge to bring in reinforcements?"
Guo Xing shook his head: "Nearly 600 people from the county brigade and the armed work team have already ambushed outside the east city wall to the blockade ditch area last night. It's useless for us to go in."
"Since the Japanese already know that we will rob the execution ground, do you think the Japanese will not make arrangements in advance?"
Captain Guo shook his head: "With the Japs' arrogant temper, they will not ambush in advance. He only needs to let the puppet troops in the blockades beside the blockade ditch guard the blockade ditch. With the Fuyang River blocking it, none of us who entered the blockade ditch will be killed." We can’t run away, so taking the Wang’an Fort stronghold will count as completing the mission.”
Hu Yi thought for a while: "According to last night's deployment, it seems that we have not considered the Japanese machine in the west of the city?"
"Don't worry, there are only a dozen old-fashioned planes at the Jaap Airport. By the time they take off and fly over, the battle will be over."
"What if the Japanese have deployed other troops outside?"
Captain Guo had a lot to do and was a little impatient: "We have arranged for militiamen. As long as the road is dug, the Japanese armored vehicles patrolling out of the city will not be able to pass. Moreover, the death squads who hid in the county in advance will set fire to the city. Launch attacks on the Japanese Brigade headquarters, police force, city defense barracks, and reconnaissance team."
Hu Yi thought carefully for a while and nodded: "The plan is perfect."
An hour later, Hu Yi returned to the village.
I looked at the time, it was only half past eight.
After a while, Wang Peng and Wang Dashan, who were scouting north and south, returned to the village one after another.
As the time for the battle started getting closer and closer, the atmosphere in the village gradually became tense.
Minister Liu once again summoned all ministries to mobilize before the war.
Wang Peng suddenly asked: "After the work team and county brigade sneaking into the city have attacked the enemy targets, how will they evacuate?"
Minister Liu shook his head: "There is no need to evacuate. Most of the death squads are comrades who have broken into the police force, the investigation team, the city defense army, and members of the underground organization action team. They have ways to hide!"
"Then when will we destroy the telephone lines between the enemy's artillery towers and eliminate the traitors of the reconnaissance team scattered around the perimeter?"
"You don't need to worry about this matter. The work team has made arrangements in advance. Battalion Commander Hu needs to seize the stronghold. Wang Peng and Battalion Commander Wang Dashan have completed blocking the enemies who may detour to ensure that the main force of the execution site can break through from the Wangjiapu stronghold. Even if it is completely Become a mission."
Then the meeting adjourned.
All departments are already ready to go.
Wang Peng and Wang Dashan's assault group were going to a far place. Under the leadership of the county brigade members, they took the first step to use the green gauze tent to cover their departure.
The team of several hundred people quickly disappeared into the green shazhang
Gong Shaofeng led more than a hundred people from the county brigade eastward. His task was to dig roads and avoid enemy reinforcements that might come from the east.
Conquering strongholds was the most important part of this mission. Director Liu of the enemy's Ministry of Industry followed Hu Yi and headed towards the east city of HD.
Luo Fugui muttered next to Madman Yang: "We have a battalion of more than 300 numbers, and we have more than ten Japanese and thirty puppet army strongholds. Doesn't this underestimate us?"
When the war came, Madman Yang, who was full of energy, did not recite the Three Character Sutra: "Don't take it lightly, it is very important to capture the stronghold and hold it."
Luo Fugui is no longer the timid person he used to be when he goes to the battlefield: "The heavy firepower is only one heavy machine gun and mortars. It is very difficult to attack the artillery towers."
Li Xiang was no longer silent: "If we can get a few chemical bombs, it won't be difficult at all."
Looking at the turret that looks like a large chimney in the distance: "It seems that we still have to dig trenches, bulldoze the tanks, approach the turret, and use explosive packets to blow up the large chimney turret."
Luo Fugui stared with ugly eyes: "Attack the gun tower, and you can only take human lives!"
Hu Yi had already thought of an attack method: "Stop being so nagging, quickly change into Japanese uniforms."
Minister Liu stood in a flattened sorghum field and arranged for the soldiers to build earthen tanks.
When he turned around and saw Madman Yang in a Japs uniform and Hu Yi in a traitor uniform from the detective team, his eyes suddenly lit up!
In the past, I have commanded soldiers to pretend to be puppet troops and reconnaissance team members.
But pretending to be a little devil has never been done before, and I immediately became excited.
Mainly because I can’t speak bird language
If it really succeeds, then the rescue plan will be more certain.
It seems that the plan needs to be adjusted to allow more than 300 teams with heavy firepower to defend a stronghold. How wasteful is it?
Minister Liu began to think about it.
The roof of the turret.
The puppet army observation post saw an imperial soldier riding a bicycle with more than ten reconnaissance team members in the distance to the east.
Report the situation to the second floor quickly.
Immediately on the second floor of the blockhouse, a Japanese shouted: "Get ready immediately, the one coming must be an Eighth Route agent!"
