late at night.
The crescent moon hangs high.
The car goes about five miles north of the town.
A turret stands at the three-way intersection.
Outside the turret, a bonfire was burning, and a village lay quietly beside the road.
The vehicles were stationed at the Second Regiment's outlying checkpoint in the town.
A team of more than ten hurried bicycles came to a halt under the dim moonlight.
Shopkeeper Cheng Er, who was holding on to the handlebars, raised his hand and pointed to the checkpoint ahead: "The front is the Second Regiment's defense area. It's better for us to bypass them."
Liu Yuanqing pushed his bicycle: "Your Autonomous Army is really a weird thing. The brothers seem to be enemies."
Shopkeeper Cheng Er smiled bitterly: "Haha, everyone is their own master."
Liu Yuanqing looked at the dark earth: "Is this how they fortify their surroundings?"
"That's right, our main forces are deployed in the town. On the outside, we just set up a gun tower and set up a checkpoint on the road where there are villages. There should also be hidden sentries in remote places."
Liu Yuanqing found it a little unbelievable: "In other words, in such a huge place, we are the only ones who can come and leave whenever we want?"
Shopkeeper Cheng Er nodded: "The place is too big and there is really no way to set up defenses."
The team got off the road and prepared to take a detour.
Not far behind, a ray of light suddenly came from far behind, accompanied by the faint roar of an engine.
Liu Yuanqing turned around, raised his telescope and looked at it for a while: "One motorcycle and three cars. They should be the Japanese's motorcycle and car convoy."
"Did someone find our trail and catch up?"
Liu Yuanqing shook his head: "Probably not. The bicycles we ride can walk on small roads at any time."
"Then what are they going to do?"
"Only the devil knows"
"There are more than 200 Japs in the county. There must be a reason why there are so many out of nowhere." Shopkeeper Cheng Er always felt a little uneasy and worried for no reason.
Xiao Hongying jumped out of the back seat of Li Laosi and yawned: "No matter what he wants to do, we can't let them succeed in what he wants to do, just cause destruction."
"One motorcycle, three cars, if there are no infantry, there should be only one small team." Liu Yuanqing looked at the car lights in the distance: "Just plant a few landmines."
"Don't worry, I'll go to the village to find some acquaintances to inquire about the situation." Shopkeeper Cheng Er jumped on his bicycle, turned around, and ran quickly to the village ahead.
Not long after, shopkeeper Cheng Er threw away his bicycle and prepared to sneak into the village, which immediately caused the sound of dogs barking in the village.
Shopkeeper Cheng Er didn't think too much. He knew most of the people in the village.
It's not a big deal if a dog barks in the middle of the night in the village.
During the war and chaos, the village organized a village protection team.
"Who?" A young voice immediately asked in the darkness of the village.
"Mao Dan? It's me, your Uncle Cheng."
"Second uncle, why did you come just now?"
"What happened?" Shopkeeper Cheng Er felt nervous.
"Cheng Erwa, I am Third Aunt Qi." Then, an aunt's voice appeared, her tone full of anxiety: "The soldiers stationed in the town gathered more than six or seven hundred people after dark and headed south back to Long Town. Well, your uncle is riding a donkey to report the news to Haibowazi."
"What? You said the division commander took people to Huilong Town?" Shopkeeper Cheng Er was shocked.
"It's been almost an hour since I left."
"Is there any other news? Is there any news from the blockhouse on the road east of the village?"
Mao Dan added next to him: "No, no one is allowed to enter the blockhouse after dark, and people in the blockhouse are not allowed to come out. My father didn't even send a letter."
"Then be careful, I have something to do and I have to leave first." After the shopkeeper Cheng Er said this, he immediately turned around.
Seven or eight people quietly walked onto the road.
A total of three mines were laid.
The mixed thunder was used to blow up the Japanese motorcycles, and to blow up the Japanese cars behind them, you had to use a pull-type detonation method.
"Damn it, I should have known that the military department would need two more explosive bags." Shopkeeper Cheng Er watched Liu Yuanqing deftly lay mines.
Wen Wuquan, who was next to him, was carrying a bag of dry soil and kept throwing it on the ground where the mines were placed to cover up the traces.
"That's enough. Two thunderbolts can at least blow up one of his cars." Liu Yuanqing had already started to put down the rope.
If the rope is not long enough, the person pulling the hair at close range is at great risk.
"Platoon Leader Liu, can you let me pull the thunder this time?" Wen Wuquan looked excited.
"No, you have to use a grenade to hit a Japanese car! Let Li Laosi do the Lei thing, he can run fast."
Liu Yuanqing began to assign tasks: "Remember, there is probably infantry behind the Japanese car. After firing a row of bullets from the rifle, go around the town and meet at the big locust tree by the road three miles ahead. Let's kill him again!"
"After a while the battle started, the dirty-faced machine gun on the east side fired first. After the Japanese got out of the car, the girl and I were able to shoot the Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers from both sides. Also, within a range of 200 meters, no one was allowed to do anything. Go south, be careful of accidental injuries."
"After Li Laosi raised the mine, he lit the fire in the ground and then went directly eastward along the ditch in the ground. Do not fire back at the enemy. The light from the fire will disturb the enemy's sight and they will not be able to find you." After finishing speaking, he said to shopkeeper Cheng Er: "Hurry up and ask the people in the village to find a place to the west to take shelter."
Liu Yuanqing's layout was very simple. The ambush position was slightly north, and he did not shoot directly at the mine explosion position from the side.
This can avoid being accidentally injured by your own people when you are attacked from both sides later.
Now there is another problem. I don’t know if there are infantry behind the enemy convoy.
When you don’t know the detailed strength of the enemy, you still follow the principle and just hit and run away.
There were not many people coming out, so there was no way to formulate two battle plans.
We can only give the Japanese a guy first according to the way the Japanese have infantry.
For the first time, Xiao Hongying did not interfere in the making of the plan, because this kind of ambush plan was indeed not difficult.
She is still an aggrieved instructor now.
Since Liu Yuanqing was showing off here, in her opinion, Liu Yuanqing was indeed a capable person.
As a commander, having followed the regiment leader and political commissar for so many years, of course I know that I cannot interfere in everything.
If there is anything missing, just add a few sentences.
However, Liu Yuanqing didn't give her a chance at all
A total of five people with dirty faces, civil and military, quickly headed east and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Japanese cars and motorcycles kept a certain safe distance.
Ba Lu likes to play with landmines, so the motorcycle in front often acts as a mine detector.
The motorcycle driver was a little nervous. He was not afraid of the eight-way land mines, which were not very lethal.
The explosion sound of the land mines on Tubal Road is really scary.
The motorcade was traveling at a fast speed, and the road was uneven. They kept their eyes wide open to see if there was any abnormality on the road.
This time they suddenly came out. Even if the Eighth Route Army saw the lights of the convoy and hurriedly deployed mines, they could usually see some clues from the road.
Riding a motorcycle for dozens of miles, my eyes were almost blurred.
"Be careful." The Japanese in the carriage suddenly shouted.
Just finished speaking
The driver used both hands and feet to apply the emergency brake.
"boom!"
A ball of fire flashed under the motorcycle bucket.
Followed by a loud noise, the explosion suddenly shook the moonlit night.
The motorcycle was overturned directly.
A ball of landmine fragments carrying clods of soil and sand spread out in a hemispherical shape.
After flying into the sky, it fell in a mess like rain, smashing on the nearby road and making a crackling sound in the fields.
The driver's legs were hit by countless pieces of debris, and he was thrown high off the motorcycle and smashed into the soil next to it.
The motorcycle headlights went out instantly.
The Japanese car following behind suddenly braked, and the brake drum made a harsh friction sound.
The friction between the tires and the sand on the ground brings up a cloud of dust.
