I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 224 Infiltration Reconnaissance

The Huben regiment is on the march.

Holding a telegram and riding a horse, Liu Bohui caught up with the Sherman tank Xu Qingfeng was riding.

After Xu Qingfeng ordered the tank to stop, he immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Regiment seat, Wuchang Xingyuan responded to the call and ordered the Chuzhou branch of the military command to fully cooperate with our actions.

I believe that soon, the special agents of the Chuzhou sub-station of the Military Command will get in touch with us directly. "

When Xu Qingfeng heard this, he nodded with satisfaction. In any case, as long as Principal Chang is willing to let the military commander help, he can provide intelligence support for the Huben Regiment.

Then the surprise attack on Chuzhou will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

"Your communication department should pay attention to receiving telegrams. Once there is news from the military command, report to me immediately."

"Yes!" Liu Bohui readily responded, and after saluting Xu Qingfeng again, he immediately turned around and left.

Since there was no news from Juntong, Zhou Weiguo, Wang Changgui and others, the enemy's situation was unclear.

After Xu Qingfeng's battalions in the Huben Regiment entered the Chuzhou territory, he immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and hide in the nearby forest.

Almost all the battalions and companies of the main force had just settled down in hiding and were resting and cooking.

The cavalry company, which was in charge of monitoring and alerting the Japanese army in the rear, chased up from the rear one after another.

A deputy platoon leader even rode into the woods, came to Xu Qingfeng, and reported to him: "Team leader, the Japanese from the direction of Hefei are not chasing us anymore."

Xu Qingfeng felt a little relieved and warned: "Withdraw the main force of the cavalry company to rest and recuperate, leaving a platoon to continue to maintain reconnaissance and alert in the direction of Hefei and other enemy-occupied areas.

However, the troops responsible for carrying out reconnaissance and security missions must pay attention to concealment, so as not to be discovered by enemy reconnaissance planes and ground troops! "

"Yes!" The deputy reconnaissance platoon leader saluted, quickly got on his horse and took the order to leave.

……

Chuzhou city.

In an unremarkable private house near the southeast block of the city.

A middle-aged man in a black suit poked his head out from inside, looked around for a while, and after confirming that it was safe, he opened the courtyard door and walked out.

I saw him walking along a narrow street, entering an alley and disappearing.

More than ten minutes later, he arrived at the back door of a courtyard on the main street near Ximen.

After looking around to make sure no one was following him, he knocked on the door.

He knocked on the door rhythmically. If you listen carefully, there are three long and two short.

About a minute later, the backyard door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed like a waiter showed his head and took him in.

After entering the door, the clerk asked, "Station Master, is there anything new?"

The man in black nodded with a serious expression and said, "Go and notify Shopkeeper Ma and ask him to come over and see me!"

This person is none other than Wang Yucheng, the person in charge of Chuzhou Station of Military Command.

The horse shopkeeper he was talking about, as well as the courtyard facing the street, was a secret local contact point of the military commander Chuzhou Station.

The clerk nodded in agreement, first took him to a room not far from the back door, and then left on his own to call for help.

About 3 minutes later, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper walked into the house where Wang Yucheng was from outside.

As soon as he saw Wang Yucheng, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him respectfully: "Stationmaster Wang, do you have any new tasks?"

Wang Yucheng nodded and said, "I just got an order from our superiors to quickly investigate the details of the Japanese army's strength and deployment in Chuzhou City.

If you get the chance, launch a raid and take out a warehouse or two or an important target like a field hospital. "

"What, are the superiors going to counterattack Chuzhou?" Shopkeeper Ma was a little excited.

Being in the enemy-occupied area behind enemy lines, they had no idea how the front line was going.

Wang Yucheng nodded: "Although the superiors didn't expressly say so, they should have plans in this regard, otherwise there is no need to tell us to find out the situation of the Japanese army's deployment of troops at this time."

Shopkeeper Ma nodded approvingly, and said, "Then I'll arrange the manpower right away."

"Be careful." Wang Yucheng couldn't help exhorting.

Shopkeeper Ma saluted, turned and left.

Wang Yucheng stayed behind because he wanted to wait for news before deciding whether to launch an attack.

at the same time.

Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu, Wang Changgui and others also pretended to be Japanese soldiers and came to the west gate of Chuzhou City.

Because Chuzhou, geographically speaking, already belongs to the rear of the Japanese army.

Most of the Japanese troops in the city were stationed in military camps, doing daily patrols and guarding the city gates, checking suspicious passers-by and other dirty work.Basically, it is all the responsibility of the more than 3000 puppet troops.

Therefore, the four city gates were also guarded by puppet troops at that time.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Weiguo, Wang Changgui, Xu Hu and others walked straight to the city gate.

They planned to pretend to be Japanese soldiers, enter the city directly, and then look for opportunities to spy on military intelligence.

Zhang Erbao was a second lieutenant platoon leader in the puppet army guarding the West Gate. When Zhou Weiguo and a group of others pretended to be Japanese soldiers and walked towards the West Gate.

This guy was lazily sitting on a circular machine gun fortification on the left side of the city gate, smoking and taking a nap.

Suddenly, a puppet soldier standing next to him pushed him awake: "Sir, wake up quickly, it's not good."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Erbao opened his eyes in displeasure, and reprimanded, "Could it be that the sky is falling?"

The puppet soldier pointed to the west fearfully and said: "The sky is not falling, but the imperial army is coming."

Zhang Erbao was suddenly excited when he heard this, and stood up quickly. Sure enough, he saw two Japanese officers, leading a group of Japanese soldiers with live ammunition, striding towards them.

As the distance got closer and closer, Zhang Erbao discovered to his horror that there was actually a captain in this group of Japanese soldiers!
Not to mention the Japanese, even if they were one of our own, they were two levels higher than themselves.

Zhang Erbao did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly straightened the military cap on his head. Taking the subordinates who had just reminded him, he hurriedly greeted him with his head bowed.

Arriving in front of them, Zhang Erbao hurriedly saluted Zhou Weiguo and others with a less than standard military salute.

Then he said with a flattering face: "I don't know that the Majesty is here, and I am far away from welcoming you, so please don't blame the Majesty!"

Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu, Wang Changgui and others all saw the traitor Zhang Erbao's actions just now.

Zhou Weiguo, who was wearing the uniform of Captain Guizi, stared at the puppet platoon leader in front of him with an unfriendly expression, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped him.

boom!A crisp slap suddenly sounded.

Zhang Erbao was hit so hard that his head tilted and he stumbled, almost unable to stand.

After he stabilized his body, a clear slap mark instantly appeared on the left side of his face.

Before Zhang Erbao could explain, he heard Zhou Weiguo say in blunt Chinese with an obvious Japanese tone: "You guys, don't do your duty and stand guard, and you are lazy here, you really deserve to die!"

Zhang Erbao did not expect that the Taijun would have such a hot temper, so he quickly stepped forward and bowed his head to apologize: "The lesson Taijun taught is that even though you are humble and know that you are wrong, please forgive me!"

Zhou Weiguo, who was incomprehensible with his hatred, stepped forward and slapped him several times in succession, causing stars to appear in the eyes of the traitor and blood to come from the corners of his mouth.

"I'll teach you a lesson so that you can remember it for a long time and perform your duties well in the future. If I find out again, you must die!"

Zhang Erbao, who was already stunned, ignored the burning pain coming from both sides of his face.

He quickly nodded and bowed again, admitting his mistake and begging for mercy: "Yes, yes, Taijun, what you have taught me is that villains will never dare to do it again."

Zhou Weiguo pretended to be powerful from the front, and the fight was enjoyable.

Standing behind him, Xu Hu almost couldn't help laughing out loud as he watched the excitement.

"Get out of the way!" Zhou Weiguo did his best and shouted loudly. Zhang Erbao and his men hurriedly stepped aside.

Therefore, Zhou Weiguo swaggered into Chuzhou City with Xu Hu, Wang Changgui and other ten reconnaissance and guard soldiers, pretending to be Japanese troops.

Since there would often be small groups of Japanese troops going out of the city to the countryside, the euphemistic name was patrolling, but in reality they were raids, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil.

Therefore, Zhang Erbao and other puppet troops did not think much about Zhou Weiguo's appearance.

Just treat them as a small team that goes out to the city privately and does bad things.

There was no thought of doubting their identity.

……

Military point of contact.

Shopkeeper Ma came back again. Wang Yucheng, who had been waiting anxiously in the backyard, immediately stood up and asked, "How are you doing? Did you get any valuable information?"

Shopkeeper Ma quickly replied: "Okay, according to intelligence reports, there are more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops in the city each.

Among them, the devils are mainly stationed in the military camps in the north of the city, and generally guarding the city gates and patrolling are handed over to those traitors.

Moreover, the enemy's security level for Chuzhou is not too high now, and the city gates can still enter and exit freely. "

"However, in addition to the above-mentioned troops, the devils also have several field hospitals and military warehouse bases in the city.

There must be thousands of wounded devils in these places, plus the necessary garrison and other logistics personnel.

The total number of Japanese troops in Chuzhou City should be no less than 1. "

"So many?" Wang Yucheng was surprised when he heard that, "With so many troops, how many troops will our army have to recover Chuzhou before the enemy's reinforcements arrive?"

Shopkeeper Ma said: "Yes, I am also worried about this.

In particular, Chuzhou is very close to Nanjing. Once the enemy learns that it is being attacked, reinforcements will arrive quickly. "

Wang Yucheng pondered for a while, then said with a serious tone: "That's why we need to do our best to cause some damage to the enemy and weaken their strength.

Thereby supporting and coordinating our army's counterattack on Chuzhou! "

"If this is the case, we have to consider the specific attack plan in the long term."

Shopkeeper Ma said: "We must come up with a foolproof plan."

"I'm afraid it's too late." Wang Yucheng said: "The order given to me by my superiors is to find out the situation of the enemy's military deployment as soon as possible.

By the time we formulate a foolproof attack plan, it may be too late. "

"Then what should we do?" Ma Treasurer said: "Should we forcibly launch an attack now?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Wang Yucheng said: "Besides, how can there be any foolproof attack plan in this world?"

"However, our most urgent task right now is not to launch an attack, but to report the details and distribution of the enemy's forces in the city first."

After finishing his speech, Wang Yucheng said to Shopkeeper Ma: "Let the brothers prepare the explosives and weapons for blasting, and wait for my news."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Ma readily accepted the order.

On the other side, not long after Zhou Weiguo, Wang Changgui, and Xu Hu led people into the city, they found a dilapidated courtyard where no one lived and hid it.

Inside the house, Xu Hu approached Zhou Weiguo, pried open a canned meat with a dagger, handed it to Zhou Weiguo, and asked, "We're just hanging around here, when will it be the end?"

"Don't worry." Zhou Weiguo took out the canned food, ate two mouthfuls and said, "It will be dark soon, and the brothers have traveled all day, so take a good rest.

Wait until dawn tomorrow before taking action. "

"Isn't it more convenient to inquire about the military situation at night?" Xu Hu couldn't help asking.

Zhou Weiguo said: "It depends on the situation. Right now we have no internal response in the city, so we have to rely on ourselves. We are not even familiar with the terrain at night, so how can we conduct reconnaissance?
You can't just tie up a few Japanese soldiers and come over for questioning, right? "

As he spoke, Zhou Weiguo pointed to the devil uniform on his body and said, "The devil skin we wear now is our best cover.

There are fewer people on the streets at night, which is not conducive to our movement.

After dawn, we will be able to carry out detailed reconnaissance of various places in the city without any hindrance, wearing this devil's skin. "

Wang Changgui nodded and said, "Actually, we didn't carry a radio, otherwise we could have directly contacted the regiment headquarters.

Whether the military command will help us now is unknown.

It would be so much more convenient to have their help. "

Zhou Weiguo said: "Before we set off, the team leader suggested that we bring the radio, but after thinking about it, a team of less than ten people, bringing a radio would easily attract unnecessary attention, so we didn't bring it."

Xu Hu said: "Then when we get the information, how do we notify the regiment headquarters? We don't have to go out of the city to report it, right?"

Zhou Weiguo said: "That's right, with this devil's skin, it's actually very easy to get out of the city."

"Okay, Huzi, you go out to be in charge of security first. In the second half of the night, Company Commander Wang and I will replace you. The others hurry up and eat something and rest!"

"Yes!" Xu Hu replied, and immediately got up and walked outside.

……

Outside the city, the Huben regiment made a temporary hiding place.

Liu Bohui, the director of the communications department, ran up to Xu Qingfeng excitedly, stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to the regiment, the latest news, the military command has obtained the details of the enemy's military strength."

Xu Qingfeng, who was already going to sleep and rest, suddenly regained his energy when he heard it.

He stood up and asked, "How are you doing? How many enemies are there in Chuzhou City now?"

Liu Bohui immediately read according to the telegram: "According to the reconnaissance of the military command, there are more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops in Chuzhou City, plus wounded soldiers, logistics personnel, and no less than [-] devils."

"There are quite a lot of Japanese troops." Xu Qingfeng was a little surprised when he heard this.

Liang Shan, the chief of staff at the side, couldn't help exclaiming: "Tens of thousands of devils? There are more than 3000 puppet troops. Can we defeat them with just one regiment?
We have to capture it before the Japanese reinforcements arrive! "
