A few days ago, Wang Peng teamed up with the Ninth Battalion to ambush the Japanese coming out of HD City, and cooperated with the people of the armed task force to successfully blow up the bridge.
The Japs who took a detour to the south of the city were unable to cross the river, so they fired several shots at the Japs across the river, followed by heavy machine gun fire, but no one could hit anyone.
Later, the Ninth Battalion retreated, and he then led people to withdraw from the battlefield.
Then they received an order to attack the railway. The Japanese and puppet troops in the counties along the railway held on to the gun towers and did not get out. Apart from cutting some telephone wires, they did not win a single battle.
Later, a section of the railway track was demolished amid hail and heavy rain.
In other words, I didn't catch anything during this trip, and I only brought dry food.
After burying the rails, they encountered a Japanese convoy. There were too few people to attack them, so they had to retreat south.
When I heard the scouts report back that the Ninth Battalion had captured Cheng'an County, my jaw dropped.
After asking about the situation, he immediately ordered the company that was preparing to fight the Japanese convoy to return to the team.
Nothing else. Although the equipment of his company is no longer what it used to be, compared with the Japanese and puppet troops with armored convoys, they are still as poor as beggars.
The difference in military strength between that of the Japanese and that of the Japanese is huge! Even if two landmines are buried under the cover of darkness, they may not be able to gain any advantage.
Cheng'an County.
There were still gunshots in the darkness.
Madman Yang and his men were still fighting with the Japanese who were stubbornly resisting.
Street fighting attacks, without heavy weapons such as tanks, are not easy to encircle and suppress even in broad daylight, let alone at night when you have no idea where your opponents are hiding.
For a moment, they fell into a situation where neither side could do anything about the other.
The people who were willing to leave pushed wheelbarrows away from the south gate.
In the partially destroyed county office, the two of them sat on each side of the long conference table.
The conference room in Nuo Da was so deserted!
After roughly understanding what Hu Liela was, Wang Peng finished eating the noodles brought by the monkey, wiped his mouth, and glared at Hu Yi, who was eating noodles and looking at the map: "You mean, give the Japanese a group of fierce of?"
Hu Yi looked away from the map: "The Autonomous Army sent a regiment of Cheng Ximeng from the southeast, and they promised to go as slowly as possible."
People are so angry that the ninth battalion actually captured a county guarded by a squadron of Japanese soldiers and a battalion of puppet troops.
Now the matter is not over yet, Hu Yi actually wants to attack the Japanese.
Wang Peng knew what Hu Yi was capable of: "What do you mean, should we fight in the county seat or outside the county seat?"
Hu Yi shook his head: "Fighting positional warfare is not our strength. We still follow the old rules and fight ambushes!"
Wang Peng nodded: "I have brought the whole battalion here, you just tell me how to fight."
Hu Yi pointed at the map: "The Japs are coming from the northwest. The road has been muddy since it rained. Even if the Japs and puppet troops have a convoy, they can't run fast. My plan is to divide the troops into four groups, plant explosives on the road and blow them up." The Japs led the armored car, and then shelled the Japs' cars from both wings first."
Wang Peng nodded: "What a great idea. If we can kill the lead car and the rear car of the Japs, the Japs convoy will not be able to escape and will become a living target!"
"Then you flank the enemy and launch attacks from three directions at the same time."
"There is a problem. Even if the Japanese are attacked, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated."
Hu Yi raised his eyes and looked at Wang Peng next to him: "How are you doing with your mortar training?"
Wang Peng looked at Hu Yi's hopeful eyes and felt a little embarrassed: "I can release the cannonballs. I only tried firing one round in front of the regimental commander, and the shot was not very accurate."
Hu Yi nodded: "I will lend you ten thousand fine artillery platoons, and then your artillery will be under his command!"
Wang Peng's eyes lit up: "No problem!"
"After the battle started, mortars from both wings immediately bombarded the Japanese convoy. They were suddenly attacked in the dark. The Japanese may still have fighting power, but the puppet army is very likely to collapse."
Wang Peng thought of a question: "But darkness is not conducive to offense!"
"So, I plan to install the searchlights on the city wall on the telephone poles beside the road in advance."
"What? You can still do this? In other words, only we can see them, they can't see me. This is a sure thing!" Wang Peng noticed Hu Yi's confident eyes, and after working together for so many times, he finally knew that he Still underestimated this person's ability.
I remember the first time I saw Hu Yi, he dared to plot against the Japanese with five or six people.
At that time, my own company could not defeat a Japanese squad.
But now, the only tactics used by the ninth battalion are shelling. Judging from Hu Yi's tone, it seems that he wants to eat this group of Japanese and puppet troops!
I felt a little sad because I saw the Japanese and puppet soldiers and had no choice but to run away.
There was no time to make a detailed battle plan, a simple battle plan, and the grassroots command relied on improvisation in the dark.
Hu Yi gave an order, and the correspondents waiting outside the conference room dispersed in a hurry: "Each company commander will go to the county office for a meeting immediately."
The sentry soldiers have not returned yet.
Listening to gunshots coming from the southeast direction from time to time.
The lieutenant frowned and sighed from time to time.
Although a nearby detective team came to report the news, until now, he still hasn't figured out what happened in Cheng'an County.
After slapping several detective team members who failed to uncover information, the lieutenant had to continue to face reality.
The water-soaked road is really annoying.
It's all because this place is too poor. It would be nice to just pave gravel on the road.
The wheeled armored vehicle can't even walk fast.
It's also strange that the armored vehicles of the imperial army are not of the crawler type. The tires, which are about the same width as the wheels of a three-wheeled motorcycle, are spinning on the ground and just won't move.
I cursed those idiots who designed armored vehicles in my mind, how much trouble would it take for you to design the tires to be wider?
It had to be towed by car, and occasionally the Imperial Army would get out of the car and push it.
Now the armored vehicle has become a liability.
There are two wheels at the back of the car. If the armored vehicle is not towed, we can reach Anxian County in two hours at most.
The leading soldiers at the front have not returned yet, and the map shows that they are more than ten villages away from Cheng'an County.
The lieutenant finally became angry: "The Imperial Army will leave a small team, the Imperial Association Army will leave a company, and the others will set off first and get to the county seat as soon as possible!"
We found an intersection and asked the armored vehicle to drive aside, leaving five cars to slowly follow.
The standard capacity of a Japanese truck is thirty people. The fifteen slightly overloaded vehicles were packed with more than 500 Japanese and puppet soldiers and set out on the road in the dark.
Amid the roar of the engine, the gunfire from the county seat could no longer be heard.
The bright car wash lights illuminate the flat and empty wilderness.
There are potholes everywhere on the road, and the shadows of dead grass and shrubs flash across the roadside.
on the highway.
Shovels and pickaxes were flying everywhere. Soldiers from Wang Pengying carried engineer spades and pickaxes and were following the soldiers from the Ninth Battalion to dig holes on the road.
It seems to be different from the battalion commander's previous instructions to dig a deep trench horizontally when setting up an ambush.
Not far ahead there is a stone bridge where the road crosses the river.
Half a company of soldiers under Wang Pengying were shouting slogans and pulling the rope, and from time to time they tied up the stones on the stone bridge and pulled them into the river.
A simple wooden bridge was rebuilt more than 200 meters away from the highway bridge.
On both sides of the road, Wang Peng's Second Company was helping the Ninth Battalion dig trenches.
Wang Pengcai set up a special agent platoon for half an hour and volunteered to help the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion push and pull the cart of the generator.
In other words, wherever there are soldiers from the Nine Camps, there are soldiers from the Wang Peng Camp who are not afraid of hardships, dirt, or fatigue to help.
Hu Yi originally arranged for Wang Pengying to carry out an outflank attack from behind the Japanese convoy.
But the soldiers under Wang Pengying felt that they could not be idle. They had to dig trenches, dismantle stone bridges, move ammunition, and pile bunkers with the Ninth Battalion no matter what.
If anyone doesn't agree, let's get angry with him.
