Sword of Death Camp

Chapter 92 The best result is that our army has no casualties
Dayou Township.

Hashimoto Okuro, the squadron leader in charge of stationing here, has been very distressed recently.

Ordinarily, as the squadron leader of a strengthened squadron stationed in Dayou Township, he shouldn't be distressed.

But after a small team and a company of security forces who went to the Haojiagou artillery building a few days ago were wiped out.

In addition to his shock and anger, he also has distress and fear.

Squadrons like theirs stationed in important towns are all strengthened squadrons. Originally, a squadron usually only has three squadrons plus a squadron headquarters of dozens of people.

But his reinforced squadron has five squads, but one squad went to the Haojiagou gun tower alone. The last time the supplies were delivered, one squad was lost, and there are supposedly three squads left.

But there is not only one blockhouse in Dayou Township, there are at least four or five blockhouses in a township, and some large towns even have seven or eight, or even a dozen.

Even if there is a small unit of Japanese troops in each blockhouse and a platoon of security forces, those blockhouses alone will consume a small group of soldiers.

Therefore, in Dayou Township at this time, the troops that Hashimoto Okuro can directly command are only two teams, plus a battalion of security forces.

Because compared with the Japanese army, the number of security forces assigned to various artillery towers and strongholds is larger, otherwise they will not be able to form combat effectiveness and deter the surrounding villages.

The thing that bothers him now is, of course, how the supplies for the Haojiagou blockhouse are brought in?
The section of road from Dayou Township to Haojiagou Paolou is a big detour that can be used by carts. Someone must be staring at it. Once he sends people out, he will definitely encounter another attack and battle.

Since the last time a small team was sent to deliver supplies, they would still be robbed and the people would be wiped out.

Then this time, we must not send only one team, otherwise it will still be unsafe, and we will still be sending supplies to the enemy.

But if he sent two teams, that would be all the staff, and Dayou Township would be empty by then. If the enemy raided his old den when he sent all the staff to deliver supplies, he would have to do seppuku.

So he is very distressed now.

But worrying about being attacked was not the reason for him not to deliver supplies to the Haojiagou artillery stronghold.

Because every time the materials are delivered to the blockhouse base, there are still about 5 to 7 days before the materials in the blockhouse base. When the supplies in the blockhouse base are about to be exhausted, the materials will be delivered in time.

This time is just right to ensure both the abundance of materials and the freshness of the materials and vegetables.

However, it has been such a long time since the last delivery of materials was taken away by the anti-Japanese armed attack.

The supplies of the Haojiagou artillery building were almost exhausted, and they had called several times to urge them. After all, there were about 300 people stationed there. If the supplies were not delivered, they would be too hungry to fight in two days.

At that time, there is no need for the enemy to attack, and I will collapse from hunger first.

Therefore, it is imminent to deliver supplies to the Haojiagou blockhouse, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!

Of course, there is actually another way.

Hashimoto Okuro wondered whether to inform the soldiers at the Haojiagou gun tower stronghold to use this method to replenish supplies.

That is to get food locally, and grab food among the people in the local villages.

Just make it through when the support you ask for arrives.

But doing so is also risky. If the other party has this idea, they will wait for the people from the Haojiagou blockhouse stronghold to come out and rob the nearby villagers.

After all, since people can attack a small team plus a company of security forces transporting supplies, they will not be afraid of a small team of Japanese troops and a company of security forces who have left the stronghold of the gun tower.

Besides, it is definitely impossible for the Japanese army of that small team and the security forces of the two companies to leave the stronghold. They must keep most of the people staying at the stronghold to ensure that the stronghold is not lost, because there are a lot of military materials stored in this stronghold.

And he also knew that the logistics squadron was robbed of several cannons.

He was notified that a fully formed squadron, and because it was transporting supplies, was still a strengthened squadron, so it was cleaned up. I heard that the face of the commander in charge of the security battle in this area was not good. nice.

In addition to the one squadron that was cleared up in Daliu Town some time ago, this is already the loss of two established squadrons.

This made him, the squadron leader with only two squadrons left, feel very unsafe.

……

"Battalion Commander, the situation is like this, the Haojiagou gun tower stronghold, after we robbed that batch of supplies, we never received any more supplies.

Because there were only two squads of Japanese troops left in Dayou Township, they did not dare to divide their troops to deliver supplies.

It is estimated that in the near future, the Japanese and puppet troops in the Haojiagou artillery stronghold will come out to grab the food of the common people.

If so, that's our great opportunity!

After all, devils hiding in tortoise shells are not easy to hit, and those who stick out their heads are guaranteed to be chopped! "

Wang Jiudao ran away for a few days, and when he came back, he happened to have a meal, and sat in front of Chen Shanhe while eating and talking.

Hearing this, Chen Shanhe was noncommittal, but hurriedly poured all the vegetables in his bowl into his mouth.

Then the two big white buns, one of three will get rid of them all, and immediately go back to the house and take out the map.

"It's not right!
The Japanese army was killed a small team, why didn't they add troops to Dayou Township, so that they didn't even dare to deliver the supplies?
If it is assumed that the Japanese army's defense in the Shanxi occupied area is empty, such an assumption.

hiss……

I finally understand why the Japanese army must wait until January next year to launch a raid on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The co-authors are now in Shanxi, and they have no soldiers in their hands!
It's no wonder why they want to win over Chief Yan, it's because they want to divide and dissolve. "

Chen Shanhe searched for the historical events he remembered in his mind. The month from September to October 1939 was the battle of Changsha in the south.

In other words, the focus of the Japanese army's preparations is now in Changsha in the south, not Shanxi in North China.

The reason why the Japanese army did not send troops to attack with great fanfare is that the first reason may be that they wanted to enter the village quietly and not shoot.

The second possibility is that because of the lack of troops, they are quietly increasing their troops now, just worried that the headquarters will leave their encirclement.

They are just surrounding them now, but they have no spare power for other actions.

Even if troops are transferred from other places, it will leave other places defenseless.

This is also the original intention of their quiet actions. After all, if someone knows where they lost their soldiers, they will know the territory controlled by the Japanese army and where the defense is empty.

This is the reason why Dayou Township has lost a team and has not received reinforcements.

Because no one!

Moreover, a squadron was lost near Beaulieu Town, two cannons, 6 mortars, and a large amount of guns, ammunition and food. Why is there still no big movement?
Because they are not strong enough.

This can also explain why the Japanese army is increasing their equipment, because they have insufficient numbers and can only make up the number with equipment.

Use equipment to strengthen firepower to ensure that your encirclement will not be lacking.

This also explains why the small team in the Haojiagou gun tower stronghold also has heavy machine guns.

All this is to increase firepower and ensure the integrity of the encirclement.

It all makes sense!

Chen Shanhe felt that this was also his opportunity.

Sun Tiansheng and Wang Jiudao walked in, and Sun Tiansheng heard Wang Jiudao talk about the situation, and when he came in, he saw Chen Shanhe comparing pictures on the map.

"Commander, what do you think?"

Chen Shanhe raised his head, looked at Sun Tiansheng and Wang Jiudao, and asked them with a smile.

"I'm thinking about a question. If you are the Japanese soldiers in the gun tower of the Haojiagou stronghold, and you are about to starve to death, what should you do?"

There is no need to answer this answer at all, everyone knows it in their hearts.

If they were the Japanese army in this gun tower stronghold, they would have only one choice when they ran out of supplies, and that was to come out and grab them.

After all, if you don't grab it, you will starve to death. After two days, you will be so hungry that you will lose your fighting power, and you will not be able to grab it if you want to.

This is Sun Tiansheng's idea.

But Wang Jiudao gave another answer: "Battalion Commander, if I were the Japanese army in the artillery stronghold, I still have fighting power and supplies!

Might last a few more days! "

Hearing what he said, Sun Tiansheng thought about it carefully and then suddenly realized.

"Why don't you think I didn't think of that!
If it were me, when I heard that the supplies were robbed, I would put down the supplies for four or five days.

I immediately cut off the daily consumption of the two puppet companies and halved their daily consumption, as long as they don't starve to death!
The puppet army didn't dare to shoot stabs, after all, they just didn't have the usual food. They still had food to eat, but the daily portion was reduced by half. If they could survive, they would not resist.

The 5-day food supply of the puppet army was halved, that is, there were more supplies for a company of the puppet army to live for 5 days.

However, a Japanese team had only 54 people, which was almost half of the number of the puppet army.

In other words, it turned out that a small team of the Japanese army had 5 days of food.

After deducting half of the daily consumption of the puppet army, there will be 10 days of food.

For these 10 days of food, they also need to deduct half of the distribution to the puppet army, just to ensure that the puppet army will not starve to death.

So there are 5 days left, plus the original 5 days of food.

That is to say, if the food storage in this blockhouse base is exhausted, there are still 10 days left!

So we don't have to be too happy! "

Wang Jiudao nodded: "That's what I think. These devils are very good at fighting, and they won't fail to think of this way!"

After Chen Shanhe nodded in agreement with their ideas, he made another point.

"If you are the Japanese squad leader in the gun tower, is it possible that you will wait until the Japanese army in the town sends supplies after 10 days?"

Obviously, that's not possible either!
If you don't leave a little bit of leeway, and wait until things are pushed to the end, then you are not a qualified soldier, and it is even more impossible to be the captain of a small team of the Japanese army.

And it is impossible for the Japanese army to squeeze the puppet army so hard, because the Japanese army has only one squad and the puppet army has two companies in the gun tower.

Therefore, the hypothesis of Wang Jiudao and his wife is just a hypothesis, and their first hypothesis is more reliable.

Of course, Chen Shanhe believes that the Japanese army may really reduce the consumption of the puppet army, and at the same time send personnel to plunder the food stored in the nearby villages.

Because the summer harvest is over, the people in the village still have a lot of food, which allows them to easily obtain supplementary food.

"Okay, then I will send scouts in the direction of the Haojiagou gun tower stronghold!

Once there is any disturbance, it will be quickly conveyed back in the form of a message tree! "

Chen Shanhe nodded: "Okay, hurry up and arrange, I suspect that the Japanese army will attack soon!"

After Wang Jiudao went out to arrange people, Sun Tiansheng said to Chen Shanhe: "Battalion Commander, why don't we go and pull out that blockhouse stronghold now?
In this way, we can take down the devils before they harm the people! "

Chen Shanhe shook his head: "The devil's turret needs to be pulled out, but not now. We just need to ensure that the troops that the devil comes out to grab food don't harm the people as much as possible!"

This made Sun Tiansheng very puzzled, wondering what the battalion commander was thinking?
Chen Shanhe pointed to the map and asked him to look at it himself: "What's the point of taking down a blockhouse?
I want to win Dayou Township.

Every town will have a warehouse, as a transfer point for weapons, equipment and supplies, what a mere Haojiagou gunhouse stronghold is!
I'm looking at the material warehouse in Dayou Township! "

Having said that, Sun Tiansheng became excited when he heard it: "Battle Commander, just give the order, what should we do?
As long as you can fight devils, you can go through the fire! "

Chen Shanhe pointed to the map and said, "In Dayou Township, there are only two teams now!
On the surface, we were going to attack the Haojiagou artillery stronghold, and we fought fiercely, leading the Japanese army from Dayou Township to come out to rescue.

But in fact, our real target is these reinforcements. If we eat the reinforcements from Dayou Township, Dayou Township will definitely be empty of troops. Only a small team can't stop my cannon.

Dayou Township was just a town, and the city walls were not high or thick. It was only because there was a large Japanese army stationed there that it seemed that no one dared to mess with it.

If there is only one Japanese army in it, it will be easier to fight than the Haojiagou artillery stronghold!

After all, the artillery building is a purely military building, which is definitely more difficult to hit, and the city walls of the township are actually very short, and they cannot withstand two shots.

Since there are good ones to fight, why should I grab the Haojiagou blockhouse stronghold that is not easy to fight?
I can surround him, just surround him without attacking him, and prevent him from getting out.

I'll kill them when he's so hungry that he collapses!

So my target has never been the Haojiagou blockhouse, but the devils in Dayou Township.

My goal has always been to gather around the spot for help, and then sneak in. I never thought of chewing hard bones. After all, my teeth are not too hard now. If I can't chew hard bones, I will chew soft bones! "

Chen Shanhe said that he wanted to eat soft rice, so confidently, no, this does not seem to be called eating soft rice, it is called bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and picking the soft persimmons!
Sun Tiansheng suddenly became a little worried: "Battalion Commander, many of our 240 people have not been properly trained. When the time comes to directly force the Japanese army and attack the township, even if there is only a small Japanese army, there will be other puppet troops!
Will it be too big?
Do you want to communicate with the leader of the new regiment, Li, and try to get him to send some troops. At that time, it will be the same as before, adding two to one to five, and half of the weapons and equipment for one person will be enough! "

Chen Shanhe smiled and asked him: "Whose official university do you think me or Li Yunlong have?
You don't need to tell me, I know it too.

I am a battalion I pulled up by myself, and it is a battalion with only more than 240 people, and I can't even make it full.

He is a regular army, and he is also a regiment commander!
We say it nicely, called mutual cooperation, but in fact, to put it bluntly, doing this all the time is a bit like I am directing him, and I am superior to him!
So if we are sure and within our capabilities, we don't bother him!

It's not a matter of saving face, but we have to learn to face this kind of thing by ourselves!
Isn't it just two squads of Japanese troops and one battalion of puppet troops!

I didn't say that we are going head-to-head, we have the advantage of equipment, why not use it?
We have cannons, and I know how to use them, and I'm pretty accurate!
Siege is easy! "

Therefore, Chen Shanhe did not plan to inform Li Yunlong this time, but planned to do it himself.

……

Hashimoto Okuro had just hung up the phone. He had just notified the team leader of the Haojiagou Cannon Tower to allow him to send troops out to borrow food from the people in nearby villages.

Of course it is borrowed food, because it sounds better, but why not pay it back?
Certainly not.

Because he really didn't have enough soldiers to escort food and supplies to the Haojiagou artillery stronghold at this time, he suspected that this was the enemy's aid plan, so he could only let the Haojiagou stronghold come out to borrow food by himself.

But after making this decision, he worried that this was obviously the enemy's conspiracy.

Draw out the Japanese army from the Haojiagou stronghold, and then defeat them one by one.

But sometimes the most difficult thing in this world is conspiracy.

Clearly plotting against you, but leaving no way out.

However, after struggling for a long time, Hashimoto Okuro still ordered the Japanese army squad and the puppet troops of the two companies in the Haojiagou gun tower stronghold to raise food by themselves, and he had no choice.

He suspected that the enemy's encirclement of the spot to fight for reinforcements was an overt conspiracy, and the enemy's drawing out of the Japanese army team inside the gun tower was also an overt conspiracy.

However, he couldn't break it, so he could only ask for help, and it would take time for the reinforcements to come.

After receiving the phone order from Hashimoto Okuro of the squadron at the Haojiagou gun tower stronghold, they understood the seriousness of the current situation, and if they didn't take any action, they would really stop.

Kazuo Jifu, the captain of the Japanese team at the Haojiagou gun tower stronghold, is also a vigorous and decisive figure. He will not wait until the supplies are really used up before trying to figure out a solution.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called all the team leaders under him to gather and assign tasks.

"Squadron Captain Hashimoto said that the supplies will not come in at once, he needs to wait for reinforcements, just now he called and asked us to eat in a nearby village!

So I'm here to issue an order, Captain of the Dongfu Temple Sub-division, you lead a platoon of security forces to Dongpo Village to collect the villagers' food reserves.

Team leader Tsushima Yokoo, you also take a platoon of security forces to Dahuozhuang Village to collect the villagers' food reserves. "

After hearing this, the two team leaders immediately got up and said "Hi" to accept the order!
The company commanders of the two puppet troops are not qualified to stand here for a meeting at all, they can only obey orders.

Then the men and horses of the two small teams led a platoon of puppet troops to split up, one went to Dahuozhuang Village, and the other went to Dongpo Village to forcibly expropriate the villagers' food reserves.

"Sure enough, the devil really sent people out, but unlike what the company commander guessed, the devil didn't just send one small team, but two!
Go and release the message tree!
But the devil sent out not one squad, but two squads, and they went to the two villages separately. How should we put the message tree? "

Not too close to the stronghold, not too far away, where they can see clearly but not so clearly, there are two people who are monitoring every move in this stronghold.

They are the scouts sent by Wang Jiudao.

At first they guessed that if the Japanese army wanted to rob food, they would definitely go to the nearest Dongpo Village, because Dongpo Village was a big village with four to five hundred people.

Unlike other small villages with only two or three hundred people, some even have only one or two hundred people.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army was so courageous that they even divided up their troops to grab food.

However, because the secret code was not agreed in advance, just placing a tree cannot clearly explain the current situation of the Japanese army in detail.

When the scouts here encountered the Japanese army leaving the stronghold to grab food, they immediately brought down the message tree, and let the people on the distant hills also follow.

They only knew that once the message tree fell, the Japanese army would come out to grab food, which was a mistake of theirs.

But the number of messages is still sent back from one hilltop to another. The distance between the hilltops and the hilltops is as far as possible, but the trees of each other can still be seen.

Soon, just bringing down a tree to send a message from hill to hill is quick.

So Wang Jiudao soon received the report that the Japanese army was dispatched to grab food. He happily broke open the gate of Chen Shanhe and reported the news.

But what he didn't know was that one of the investigators in front was running wildly, and he was going to run for more than ten miles to report back that the Japanese army had not dispatched only one force.

"Battalion Commander, the news came back from the news that the Japanese army at the Haojiagou gun tower stronghold started!"

"Haha! These little devils finally couldn't help but do it. I thought they could bear it!"

Sun Tiansheng also jumped up with a smile on his face, and immediately called for battle: "Battle Commander, the Japanese army did not dare to let too many people out of the stronghold, and according to their habit, there is no more than one squad and one platoon of puppet troops.

I'll take a company over there, fight more and less, and easily take them down! "

Chen Shanhe doesn't think so: "Our current strength is still very small, and the training of the soldiers has not been effective yet!

Our current backbone is the 36 brothers from the original cottage, plus 30 veterans supported by the new regiment head Li, and dozens of veterans who surrendered. Not allowed, even bayonet fights!
Don't look at just dealing with a small unit of the Japanese army and a platoon of the puppet army, but if you are not careful, you may have to pay a heavy price.

Now even if there is only one casualty, I feel distressed! "

After finishing speaking, he stood up: "The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength. No matter whether the enemy comes out from a whole squad or only a small squad, we will use the whole battalion to attack the opponent. The best result is that our army has no one." Casualties, the enemy troops were all captured!"

"Gather all the teams and start with me!"
