It seemed that Wang Quan was not lying. Yu Biao thought for a while and smiled.
This is the credit God gave me.
The bandit Xie Baoqing defected to the Japanese to cause chaos in Dagu Town. Yu Biao, commander of the third battalion, led his troops to eliminate him, shattering the Japanese aggressors' plan to occupy Dagu Town and then invade the area controlled by our country.
Yu Biao looked at Wang Quan and asked, "How effective are Xie Baoqing's soldiers?"
Wang Quan was embarrassed. Xie Baoqing's soldiers had not fired a single shot. How could he know how effective these soldiers were?
However, what Wang Quan lied to Yu Biao was that they fought bloody battles with Xie Baoqing and were eventually defeated and forced to surrender.
So now I should tell the battalion commander whether Xie Baoqing's soldiers are powerful or vulnerable?
Seeing Wang Quan's hesitation, Yu Biao already understood half of it. He looked at Wang Quan with a dark face and said: "Captain Wang, if you report to me truthfully now, I can still protect you in front of the group. If you have any feelings for me, What you are hiding is that when I catch Xie Baoqing, I will definitely send you to the Military Justice Department."
Wang Quan hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind, and said to Yu Biao with a mournful face: "Barracks, we didn't fire, and Xie Baoqing's soldiers didn't fire either. I really don't know how effective they are in fighting."
Yu Biao angrily kicked Wang Quan to the ground and cursed: "You were disarmed before you even fired a fucking shot. Why did I raise such a loser like you?"
Wang Quan hurriedly climbed forward and hugged Yu Biao's thigh: "In the camp, it's not that I don't dare to die, it's that Xie Baoqing and the others have too many people, and they were well prepared. They surrounded us from all directions. On the roof They also set up machine guns, if there really was a fight, all the brothers in this company would be dead."
With a dark face, Yu Biao lifted Wang Quan's chin with his binoculars and said with a sinister smile: "So I have to commend you for your humiliation?"
Wang Quan said hurriedly: "Brothers don't dare, brothers don't dare. Camp, but I heard that soldiers like Xie Baoqing were recruited from refugee beggars. Brother, I guess those stinky beggars probably even have guns." Unstable."
Wang Quan was feeling weak as he said this. His face was still hurting. The butt of the gun on his face was hit by the stinky beggar who couldn't even hold the gun steady in his mouth.
Yu Biao kicked Wang Quan away again and cursed: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, since you know that Xie Baoqing has a bunch of stinky beggars under his command, you should give it a fucking go."
At this time, the battalion deputy tugged on Yu Biao's clothes and whispered: "Battle seat, I feel something is not right."
"What's wrong?" Yu Biao turned to the battalion deputy.
The battalion deputy pointed at the hazy Dagu Town in the distance and said: "Look at the camp, there is no smoke in the whole Dagu Town. It is during lunch time, and no one in Dagu Town has a fire." For those who cook, it looks like an empty city.”
Yu Biao hurriedly raised the telescope to observe, looked at it for a while and said strangely: "Yes, even if Xie Baoqing ran away, could it be that the people of Dagu Town also ran away with him?"
The battalion deputy shook his head: "How can ordinary people follow Xie Baoqing, a bandit? If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It's better to be careful in the camp."
Yu Biao gave an order: "Deputy Li Ying, you lead the third company to surround us from the left. Second company commander, your second company will surround you from the right. The first company, the artillery platoon, and your cowardly company will follow me from the Enter the big ancient town head-on."
The coward company naturally refers to Wang Quan's mechanized infantry company. Now that these guys have no weapons in their hands, they can only make do with their weapons and operate with the non-combat troops at the battalion headquarters.
Deputy Li Ying nodded at Yu Biao: "The camp is well versed in the art of war and left a way for Xie Baoqing to survive. If he is sensible, he should take the initiative to surrender."
Yu Biao ordered each company to take action with a straight face. In fact, he was worried that Xie Baoqing had really defected to the Japanese. If he really left a way for Xie Baoqing to survive, he would also leave a way for himself.
But Xie Baoqing had to keep the equipment of his company, otherwise it would be difficult for him to explain in front of Chu Yunfei, and he might really have to make Wang Quan lose his head to solve this matter.
Yu Biao led the first company, artillery platoon and Wang Quan's mechanized infantry company to cautiously approach Dagu Town. There was no disturbance along the way, and Dagu Town seemed to be dead.
Yu Biao ordered the troops to stop and said to the artillery: "Fire a few shots for me."
Yu Biao's third battalion was equipped with three 60mm mortars and more than a dozen grenades, and a specially formed artillery platoon was formed.
Now Yu Biao and the others are still more than 500 meters away from Dagu Town. The grenade can't reach Dagu Town. There is no problem at all with the 60mm mortar. The effective range of firing from here can even cover Dagu Town. Mountain temple.
Of course, if the 60mm mortar wants to hit the Gushan Temple from this distance, it also needs to add a charge pack. And if you want to hit the target at such a long distance, you basically can only rely on the experience of the gunner. To put it bluntly, it depends on the hood. , only God knows whether he can be fooled or not.
More than a dozen artillerymen set up their mortars, and the artillery platoon leader asked: "Barracks, what target are you shooting?"
Yu Biao held up the telescope and carefully observed Dagu Town, and casually replied: "There is no goal, just play freely."
The platoon leader responded with a smile on his face. He liked to hit targets without targets. If he missed the designated target, he would be embarrassed and scolded.
It's just that they never considered that they were bombing the Chinese villages and towns, and they never considered what would happen if they accidentally injured ordinary people.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Three artillery shells flew towards Dagu Town with a long tail sound. As three explosions sounded, smoke rose from three places in the town. An adobe house was directly hit by the shells and collapsed.
Zhang Xingsheng ran down the tunnel with his body bent, and found Xie Tian who was sitting on an ammunition box writing and drawing: "Damn, they're firing. Commander, how about I go out and shoot them back?"
Xie Tian's eyes widened: "You lazy bitch, were my cannonballs blown by the strong wind? Go, go, hold your cannon barrel and find a place to sleep."
Zhang Xingsheng refused to give up and stretched out a finger towards Xie Tian: "Just one shot, I promise to send those officials back to their hometown with one shot."
Xie Tian's eyes widened and he reached out to take off his shoes. Zhang Xingsheng ran away in a swoop, not forgetting to turn around and say: "Then when are you going to let me have another shot?"
'Whoosh', Xie Tian's suede leather boots were thrown over.
Qin Fen laughed and pushed Zhang Xingsheng into the tunnel entrance. He helped Xie Tian pick up his shoes and threw them at Xie Tian's feet. He laughed and said, "I've been suffocating this kid for the past few days. He even discussed with me someone to drive a truck." Send him to Zhangzhuang and let him fire a few shots at the Zhangzhuang stronghold."
Xie Tian lowered his head to put on his shoes and asked, "How is the situation outside? Have all the villagers entered the tunnel?"
"The villagers have all entered the tunnel. I just came down from the observation post. The enemy surrounded Dagu Town from three directions. Before they entered the town, they were firing artillery into the town. Ding Youde's house was blown down, and several other houses were destroyed. house was damaged.”
"These beasts," Xie Tian cursed and looked at Qin Fen, who was sitting across from him, and said, "I'll correct you, the Jinsui Army is not our enemy, at least not yet. Don't let this kind of thinking affect the soldiers. At present we have only one enemy, and that is the Japanese."
Qin Fen was stunned for a moment, looked at Xie Tian seriously and said, "Yes, I have written it down. The Jinsui Army is not our enemy, at least not yet."
Xie Tian hummed and picked up the pen on the ammunition box: "Let them toss around outside. Just take this time to instruct the soldiers to attack several tunnels. Remember, the Jinsui Army stopped to rest after entering the town. Avoid making any noise for them to notice. You need to appease the villagers and don't panic or make a mess. Also, maybe some villagers went into the tunnel in a hurry without preparing rations. You can arrange for Squad Leader Wang to inquire and give them some rations so that everyone can go to the tunnel first. If you bear with it, these guys outside will have to get out in two or three days at most."
Qin Fen smiled: "I made a note. The observation post will report to you at any time if there is any situation outside. I will go and settle the folks first."
Qin Fen can still laugh now, mainly because it is so easy to fight with Xie Tian. When others fight, they will see flesh and blood splashing on the battlefield, but Xie Tian's fights are all about strategy. When he can find tricks, he will never fight head-on. This is a perfect interpretation What is called a soldier is a deceitful way.
There was constant gunfire outside, and Yu Biao's artillery platoon fired at least a dozen rounds. Only then did Yu Biao order the artillery platoon to stop.
It's strange. After more than a dozen cannons were fired, there was no movement at all in Dagu Town.
Not to mention there was no movement at all, there were two frightened dogs running across the street just now, but there was nothing else.
Yu Biao observed for a while and then gave an order to the messenger: "Order the second and third companies to advance to Dagu Town at the same time."
The ordering soldiers hurriedly stood up high and issued flags to the second company on the left and the third company on the right of Dagu Town.
Yu Biao put away his binoculars, pulled out the Browning from the holster on his waist, and waved the gun at his men: "Go."
Half an hour later, the three groups of troops met at the crossroads in the center of Dagu Town, and soldiers were placed on guard on the surrounding rooftops.
Deputy Li Ying and the third company commander reported to Yu Biao that the entire Dagu Town was deserted and all the people had fled.
"His grandma's," Yu Biao angrily put the pistol back into his holster and ordered, "Continue the search. I don't believe it. How can such a big man from Dagu Town escape all the people?"
At this time, a squad leader of the Jinsui Army quickly ran over and stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the camp, we have discovered the regiment headquarters of Xie Baoqing's troops."
"Regiment headquarters?"
Wang Quan hurriedly said from the side: "Xie Baoqing's soldiers all called him Captain Xie."
Yu Biao laughed dumbly: "Why doesn't this old boy give himself the title of commander or regiment commander? He is one level higher than me. When I see him, do I have to salute and call him sir?"
Deputy Li Ying and several company commanders laughed. Yu Biao waved his hand at the squad leader who reported the report: "Let's go, take me to visit his regiment headquarters."
The plaque of Changlong Silk and Satin Shop is still there, but there is another wooden plaque hanging on the wall on the side of the store entrance, and the paint has not even dried yet.
Written on the plaque are several large blood-red characters: Headquarters of the Independent Regiment of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Liberation Army
