Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 54 An accident in the reconnaissance squad

In the past few days, the artillery squad has been strengthening training, and the rest of the squads are not idle.

Among them, the reconnaissance class also shoulders the task of collecting intelligence during training.

In the war years, it can be said that whoever has the intelligence has the initiative in the war.

In the Battle of Midway Island in World War II, it was because the U.S. military had the information that the Japanese army was about to attack and prepared for the battle in advance. This was able to defeat the Japanese army in battle and become the hegemony of the Pacific Ocean.

As a traveler from the 21st century, Wang Chengzhu is naturally more aware of the importance of intelligence.

Qingshan POW camp?
Isn't this the prisoner-of-war camp where Monk Wei was held?

Wang Chengzhu's head was running fast, thinking about the battle plan for taking down the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp.

That's right, Wang Chengzhu not only wanted to rescue the soldiers of these reconnaissance squads, but he also wanted to rescue other prisoners of war who were detained in the prisoner-of-war camp.

A strong attack is definitely not a good choice, because Wang Chengzhu is not clear about the deployment of troops in the prisoner-of-war camp, and it may also cause accidental injury to the prisoners of war.

So you can only outsmart.

Wang Chengzhu's plan was to steal the beam and change the post, and eliminate the enemy who escorted the prisoners halfway, and then disguised as a prisoner to sneak into the Qingshan POW camp, and then cooperated with the large army to attack the POW camp.

Thinking of this, Wang Chengzhu asked: "Genzi, do you know when those prisoners of war will be sent to Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp?"

Wang Shugen: "We captured a puppet soldier from Qinghe Town, and we learned from him that these prisoners of war will be sent to the Qingshan POW camp before 3 o'clock this afternoon. It seems that there is an urgent urging there."

"And he said that the devils in the prisoner-of-war camps often use prisoners of war for murder training. After sending prisoners of war, they are also responsible for dragging out the corpses in the prisoner-of-war camps and disposing of them.

It is precisely because of this that I worry about our few soldiers. "

"In addition, I have arranged many brothers to watch over there and report to me as soon as there is any situation."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Chengzhu was even more convinced that Monk Wei must be in this prisoner-of-war camp.

Wang Chengzhu raised his hand and looked at the time. It is now 9:34 in the morning, and he still has a little more than 5 hours left.

"Order, map!"

"Yes! Platoon leader!"

An orderly ran over immediately and handed the map to Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu immediately took the map, spread it out on the stone in front of him, and found the location of Qingshan POW Camp on the map.

The straight-line distance between Qingshan Prisoner-of-War Camp and Wangjia Village is 40 kilometers. It is definitely impossible to go straight when marching, so at least another 20 kilometers must be added.

In other words, Qingshan POW Camp is 60 kilometers away from Wangjia Village.

As we all know, the rapid march speed of infantry is generally around 10 kilometers per hour.

Excluding the preparation time, the time left for Wang Chengzhu was actually less than 5 hours.

It is obviously impossible to send infantry to march 5 kilometers in less than 60 hours and intercept the enemy escorting the prisoners.

Fortunately, according to the information provided by Wang Shugen, the enemy who escorted the captives was usually a small squad of devils, plus a platoon of puppet soldiers, about 50 people.

In fact, so many people are not needed to escort the prisoners. The main reason is that a lot of people are needed to deal with the bodies of the prisoners of war.

Digging and burying pits requires manpower.

And the devils definitely couldn't do these dirty jobs, so they fell on the puppet soldiers.

Since the infantry was too late, the only option was to dispatch the cavalry.

Fortunately, Wang Chengzhu had just captured a battalion of military horses a few days ago, so he didn't have to worry about the horses.

"The messenger!"

"Have!"

As soon as Wang Chengzhu gave an order, several soldiers rushed over immediately.

"Notify all squads to assemble urgently, and order all squad leaders, and Duan Peng, captain of the Spike Special Forces, to gather at the headquarters!"

"Yes!"

The messengers promised and ran away quickly.

On the other hand, Wang Chengzhu stopped the training of the artillery squad, and ordered Wang Shugen to immediately return to Qinghe Town to inquire about the situation, to confirm the situation there, and then go to Yerengou to find him.

A few minutes later, the squad leaders came to the platoon headquarters one after another.

Wang Chengzhu briefly explained his action plan, and then pointed to the map and said: "This is Yerengou, about 5 kilometers away from Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp, and it is the only place to go from Qinghe Town to Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp!"

"I'll lead the Special Forces team one step ahead and go to Savage Ditch to kill the devil's escort team."

"Deputy platoon leader, you lead the main force to follow!"

"In addition, this battle is a tough battle, and it is difficult for the cavalry to have room to play, so the cavalry squad left a guard station!"

"Yes!"

All the squad leaders responded with a loud bang, but only the squad leader of the cavalry squad, Chen Xiao, was a little disappointed. He called out and said: "Platoon leader, although our cavalry is not suitable for attacking a fortification, when the main force is attacking a fortification, it is inevitable that other enemies will come to support. Or break out, we can serve as a reserve emergency force to help the main force relieve their worries!"

Wang Chengzhu: "Chen Xiao, I can understand your eagerness to fight, but I must remind you that the task of guarding the garrison is equally important."

"Only when we are stationed without worry, can we fight without distraction in the front!"

"When the next opportunity is right, I will definitely arrange a combat mission for your cavalry squad!"

The soldiers in the cavalry squad are not all Wanjia town cavalry, but are re-selected from various squads.

Among them, there are soldiers from the original Xinyi regiment, soldiers under Xu Hailang, puppet troops from Donghui Township, and newly recruited soldiers.

In addition, Chen Xiao's anti-Japanese stance is also extremely firm, so he is not worried about the fire in the backyard.

"Yes!"

Although Chen Xiao was very reluctant, he could only nod his head.

After deploying the combat mission, Wang Chengzhu immediately led the members of the Spike Special Forces and set off on horseback.

Savage ditch.

It is located at the junction of Qinghe Town and Qingshan Town, about 55 kilometers away from Wangjia Village.

Fortunately, each special combat team member has prepared two war horses, and they exchange rides with each other, which can ensure that the war horses have sufficient physical strength and do not need to rest halfway.

In less than 3 hours, the Spike Special Forces arrived at Savage Valley.

It is now 1:25, and it seems that there is still an hour and a half before 3:[-], but the time required to get to the prisoner-of-war camp needs to be subtracted, so there is actually not much time left for Wang Chengzhu.

After arriving at the destination, Wang Chengzhu immediately ordered the team members to look for a suitable location to ambush nearby, while he himself came to a commanding height and picked up the binoculars to observe the direction of Qinghe Town.

"Hopefully we can catch up!"

According to the information obtained by Wang Shugen, the Japanese and puppet troops in Qinghe Town will send these prisoners of war to the Qingshan POW camp before 3 o'clock.

But before this 3 o'clock, it may also be two o'clock, or one o'clock, or even earlier.

Wang Chengzhu was not sure whether the other party had passed here, so he could only wait, waiting for Wang Shugen's information.

Of course, this is just plan a. If this plan doesn't work, there is plan b.
