Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 98 Ambush in Guandinao

Wangjiazhuang.

Zhang Dabiao was sitting at the table, drinking tea with Wang Wanchun.As the night passed, the two of them still maintained their dignity on the surface and did not directly quarrel with each other.

"Battal Commander, the news from the Second Company has arrived. A small team of Japanese soldiers escorted more than 200 people out of the city. They should be on the Yuliao Highway by now." The first company commander laughed: "We guessed well. The Japanese did have a conspiracy. Theirs The marching speed was abnormally slow, and there was quite a commotion when leaving the city. Several civilians took advantage of the situation and ran away, and the group of Japs chased them for several streets. I think this is the news that was deliberately released."

"It's normal. The Japs are not stupid. They must have made adjustments after suffering losses." Zhang Dabiao nodded and changed the topic: "Hey, by the way, the Japs only have a small force? Are there any puppet troops accompanying them?"

The first company commander replied: "I haven't seen any puppet troops yet, so I can't rule out the possibility of following them."

"Oh." Zhang Dabiao took a sip of tea and said, "That's not right. The Japs in the county only have a few troops, and it is up to the Japs to defend the city. There is no reason for them not to use the police force."

Zhang Dabiao glanced at Wang Wanchun: "Old sir, do you have anything to say?"

Wang Wanchun was so frightened that he shook his whole body: "No, no, no, I am an old man who has no military skills. I have been stupid for half my life. I can't help my superiors. I'm really ashamed."

"Where is the Second Company now?" Zhang Dabiao let Wang Wanchun go and looked at the First Company Commander.

"Two platoons of the second company and all machine gun teams have rushed to the Yuliao Highway, preparing for an ambush. The other platoon is divided into two parts. One part is lurking in the city, intending to take advantage of the emptiness in the city to cause some trouble for the Japanese; the other part is divided into Several teams are watching behind the Japanese team. If there are people following the Japanese team, we will find it immediately."

"Okay." Zhang Dabiao drank the tea in one gulp, then put the porcelain cup on the table, stood up and stretched his muscles: "Assemble in a row! Target Yuliao Highway!"

……

Two hours later, the First Company and the Second Company met at the Yuliao Highway.

"We are currently in Guandinao. The Japs are coming from the west. If they want to pass here, they must pass through our position." The second company commander marked the possible marching route of the Japs on the map, as well as the location of the team's ambush.

"In addition, we have determined that this group of Japs is not followed by other troops. It seems that this is all the Japs' arrangements."

Zhang Dabiao looked at the map and quickly made a battle plan.

"First of all, make clear the goal of this operation: we are not here simply to kill the Japanese. Our purpose is to rescue the people who are being escorted by the Japanese and to reduce the casualties of the people as much as possible."

"The Japs have a small team escorting nearly two hundred civilians. We have to act according to the situation. If some Japs gather together, we must cause maximum damage from the beginning. Machine guns, mortars, and grenades can be used to deal with them. Then throw smoke bombs directly into the faces of the Japanese and engage in close combat to avoid accidentally injuring civilians."

"If the Japs are not concentrated, but are all dispersed to escort the people in sections, then the special shooters will shoot freely to eliminate as many Japs as possible before launching an attack."

"Due to the special nature of this mission, mines must not be planted, which can easily cause a large number of accidental injuries. But fortunately, we are equipped with a large number of automatic pistols, and the close-combat firepower is compensated. I ask the soldiers to use bullets as much as possible to To destroy enemies, if you can kill them with guns, never use knives! If you can kill enemies with knives, never use fists!"

As Zhang Dabiao spoke, he took off the iconic broadsword from his back and put it on the ground: "Commanders who use pistols, each of them should put seven or eight magazines in their body for me!"

The eyes of all the company and platoon squad leaders lit up, and their pistols fired at close range. What a beautiful thing.

"Finally, remember this. This is a trick by the Japanese to lure the enemy. Once you find anything wrong, there is no need to report it. Just open fire immediately! I will explain and review it in detail later."

"Yes!"

"Does anyone else have any additions or opinions?" Zhang Dabiao asked.The commanders looked at each other, and finally their eyes returned to Zhang Dabiao.

"If not, then go back to the various units and prepare. This time we have hundreds of people fighting [-], and the firepower is completely worthy of the Japanese. Don't let anyone let me down."

The two company commanders laughed: "Don't worry, battalion commander, this kind of rich battle is more comfortable."

Excluding the absent third company, the battalion headquarters plus two companies, including the machine gun companies split into teams of each company, there are more than 400 soldiers, all well-equipped, and it is not easy to defeat sixty Japs.

The advantage is mine!

"Go!" Zhang Dabiao also laughed, then pulled out the rifle, connected it to the gun case, and began to press bullets into the magazine.Following his actions, all the warriors began to prepare for the battle.

An hour later, the Japanese finally appeared in the distance.

The Japanese team leader walked on the left side of the team, holding the saber tightly in his left hand, and his eyes kept looking at the surrounding mountains.

Captain Nobuo Yamayama made it very clear to him that this time they were just bait on the surface, with the purpose of luring the Eighth Route Army to appear, rather than fighting against the Eighth Route Army head-on.His operational purpose should be to minimize troop casualties and allow direct evacuation when the situation becomes critical.

Of course, you can't just run around after you evacuate.He is also responsible for observing the eight groups attacking him, and killing them back at the right time to cooperate with friendly forces.

As for friendly forces...

The Japanese second lieutenant looked towards the middle of the team.

His team had completely dispersed, and in the middle of the team was a group of people dressed as ordinary people.But this group of people is different from ordinary people. Most of them look stronger than ordinary farmers, and their skin is more shiny and delicate.

That's right, except for the more than 50 civilians who were arrested, these people are all puppet soldiers from the police force.Their purpose is to launch a surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army at the right time.

Many of them were originally gangsters and were taught a lesson by the Eighth Route Army.There are also many die-hard traitors who have suffered from the Eighth Route Army and are staunch anti-Eighth Route elements. They usually complain about the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese still trust this group of people.

"The Eighth Route Army must not have imagined that three-quarters of the hostages they are about to rescue are our undercover agents!" The corners of the Japanese second lieutenant's lips couldn't help but rise.

Similar techniques have been used by people before, and it is said that they have achieved considerable results.In Yushe, this was the first time the imperial army had used such tactics, so the Eighth Route Army must have been unprepared.

"I heard that the guard captain came up with this plan. He is ruthless and loyal to the imperial army. He is a talent worth cultivating."

The Japanese lieutenant's thoughts gradually dispersed.

Under the propaganda of the Japanese army, the grassroots officers of the Japanese also had misunderstandings about the Eighth Route Army.He did not know that within the Eighth Route Army, whether it was excellent combat examples or negative teaching materials, they would be disseminated throughout the army after discussion and analysis.Some of the classics will also be published in newspapers and periodicals to promote learning.

Wang Deshui's move is indeed poisonous, but as the main force of the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Dabiao, a battalion commander and a platoon leader of the New Regiment, may have heard of it.
