Chapter 44 Ambush Transport Team

"Jaisan, is there any new news about the military workers?"

At the Liao Town stronghold, Captain Jia of the Liao County Guard Team had just entered the door when Tomino asked anxiously.

Tomorrow, a transport team consisting of five large trucks loaded with supplies will pass through the surrounding area of ​​Liao Town, which he is responsible for, and head to the Xiazhuang stronghold.

This time, necessities such as ammunition and food were transported.

As one of the strongholds of the Locust Army that penetrates deep into the enemy's base area, the Xiazhuang stronghold is not only stationed with a squadron of the Locust Army, with a total strength of more than [-] people, but also a concrete bunker.

Unlike the Liao County prisoner-of-war camp, the Xiazhuang stronghold, as a military fortress, will not have lax security or internal problems. The only possibility is to attack it head-on.

But with the strength of Tubalu, it is absolutely impossible.

The only weakness is the long supply line.

This is also a common tactic used by Tubal Road - to harass transportation teams and block supplies to strongholds. This is because the Locust Army is ultimately unable to maintain strongholds deep into its base areas.

"no!"

"Taijun Tomino, the person who previously provided intelligence to the Locust Army has been discovered by the armed workers team. Now we have completely lost the intelligence on the armed workers team."

Captain Jia of the Liao County Guard Team sounded respectful.

Although his immediate superior is Major Kitai, Lieutenant Tominojima in front of him is a serious Locust Army, and it is said that he is an elite Locust Army from the second-class regiment, so his attitude is very respectful.

"idiot!"

Tominojima couldn't help but curse secretly.

He really didn't understand.

There had just been a problem in the prisoner-of-war camp in Liao County. There were more than 100 locust troops, and even the deputy chief of staff was shattered. At this moment, Captain Beijing actually sent only [-] locust troops to escort the transport team.

Ten of them were even following the convoy about two miles behind, using the convoy as bait to set a trap for the armed workers!
This time they transported flammable and explosive necessities such as ammunition and food. Once destroyed by the armed workers, the Xiazhuang stronghold would be short of supplies.

The lessons learned by the Sakata United Force are vivid in our minds. Why are the Locust Army still so careless?

"But Tomino Tai-kun, I got a rumor."

To be able to get along with the captain of the security team, Captain Jia is a good person. He talks about people and ghosts. He knows what Funejima wants to hear now.

"What rumor?"

Tominojima asked immediately.

"According to unconfirmed news, the armed workers' team has recently obtained a lot of sophisticated weapons, and even a machine gun!"

Captain Jia is a serious local snake in Liao County.

This kind of people have no fighting ability, they are lazy and timid, and they are just a bunch of people on the wall. They have more than 20 people and more than 20 guns. The fact that they were all disarmed by Li Yunlong and Sun Desheng proves it. But in terms of intelligence, there is something going on around them. , they can also know it immediately.

Although Xu Huzhi tried his best to cover it up, the news of the weapons left by the independent regiment to the military workers team still reached Captain Jia's ears.

This is not because there are no airtight walls in the world, but because of the complex environment faced by the armed workers team and the complex composition of team members, it is difficult to maintain absolute confidentiality.

But the cover-up is not without effect. Captain Jia is obviously unable to determine whether the news is true or false.

"Many fine weapons!"

"And machine guns!"

The old devil Funejima took a deep breath and calmed down.

Now that he has lost his command, the Liao Town stronghold is under the command of the staff sent by the brigade headquarters. It is obvious that Captain Beijing does not trust him at all. If this unknown true or false news is passed on, he will only get scolded.

Even get a slap in the face.

"The alert will be strengthened tomorrow. Once ordered, we must leave within 5 minutes."

Tominojima chose to order the team to strengthen their vigilance.

Currently, the command of Team Tomino is not in his hands, but the order to strengthen vigilance can still be issued.

"Hi!"

The communication devil immediately went to convey the order.

····
"It's confirmed, the Japanese transport team has not changed the date."

"The escort strength has not changed."

"There are ten Japanese soldiers and fifteen puppet soldiers in front of us, and there are ten Japanese soldiers and seventeen puppet soldiers ambushing us behind."

In Xiaoao Village, under the night, a message was delivered to Xu Huzhi.

After all, the Japs are outsiders. Although they are powerful in force, they do not have enough troops and insufficient control. In terms of intelligence capabilities, in a small county like Liao County, they are far weaker than the locals.

The Japanese chose to bribe the traitors to make up for the lack of manpower and intelligence capabilities. The police force was the base camp for the traitors, and it was also the reward and temptation given to the traitors by the Japanese.

However, in terms of intelligence collection capabilities, the military workers' team, which is also composed of local people, is not only no weaker than the traitor guards formed by the Japanese, but is even stronger.

"it is good!"

Xu Huzhi's eyes sparkled, and he subconsciously touched the twenty-shot shell gun on his waist.

"This time, let's swallow it all in one bite."

"all?"

The members of the armed workers team who reported the intelligence couldn’t help but said:
"Can we swallow it?"

Although Commander Li left them two Czech-style, twenty twenty-shot rifles, a large number of bullets, and German-made hand grenades.

But this time there were twenty Japs with two machine guns, and the Japs following behind even had a small cannon.

Moreover, there are more than 30 Japanese soldiers at the Liao Town stronghold who can provide support at any time.

The Japanese grenades produced tremolo and smoke when fired, and the explosion power and killing range were much larger than those made in the border areas or melon grenades. They were called small cannons by the armed workers. "The main force responsible for ambushing the Japanese transport team this time was not us."

Xu Huzhi revealed the news about the independent group.

In order to keep it secret, he did not tell anyone about the news of sending people to Yangcun for help. Only he and Wu Wenkai knew.

"Independence Group!"

The members of the martial arts team who reported the intelligence were suddenly stunned.

Independent group!
We just broke through the prisoner-of-war camp in Liao County and killed more than 100 Japs, including an independent regiment of senior Japs officers!
"Pay attention to secrecy!"

Xu Hu said directly.

The troops of the Independent Regiment have actually arrived, but in order to keep it secret, they are now hiding in the mountains.

"Yes!"

····
At dawn the next day.

"Queue up."

Standing out from the haystack, Zhang Dabiao shook off the dirt and debris on his body and immediately ordered the troops to assemble.

"Hey, this new military uniform is really good..."

Ten minutes later, Zhang Dabiao was very satisfied when he saw the neat queue of 10 people in front of him.

At the same time, he also praised the new military uniform he just received.

Although it was already March, it was still freezing cold at night in the central Shanxi area. In order to avoid letting the Japanese know that the independent regiment was coming, all 150 of them hid in the mountains and did not dare to light a fire.

I can only sleep hard at night.

One night passed, and no one was reduced. This winter military uniform made a great contribution.

Although it is a winter military uniform that is suitable for combat, it is produced by the system after all. It is made of high-quality materials and is full of weight, and its thermal insulation performance is unparalleled.

"Eat now and leave in half an hour."

Taking out the watch he had captured in the Liao County prisoner of war camp last time, Zhang Dabiao ordered the troops to have breakfast.

150 soldiers of the independent regiment stayed in the wilderness for a whole night in the Jinzhong area in March, relying only on some captured blankets, weeds and branches to keep warm. After one night, no one was reduced in combat. In addition to the warm new military uniforms, they had nothing to eat these days. Fullness is also the direct cause.

If you have food in your stomach, you will naturally resist freezing!
Taking a bite of the white-faced steamed buns he had brought with him as he seized the Japanese kettle, Zhang Dabiao thought about today's battle.

He commanded a reinforced company of 150 troops. Each squad had two Czech guns and was equipped with two 60mm mortars. Against 32 Japanese and [-] puppet troops, the battle was without any suspense.

Even if the Japanese team from Liao Town came to support in time, it would not affect the outcome of the battle.

But for the independent regiment, annihilating the Japanese transport team and seizing supplies was only secondary to this battle. The main purpose was to temper the 100 new recruits in the reinforcement company.

He needed to quickly annihilate the Japs while also allowing the new recruits to experience combat without causing casualties as much as possible.

"Set off."

After half an hour.

Zhang Dabiao once again simulated the plan he had made.

This time, he not only wanted to annihilate the entire Japs transport team, including the ten ambushing Japs behind them, but he also wanted to teach the Japs in Liao Town a lesson.

Use an ambush battle and a blocking battle to let the recruits feel the atmosphere of the battlefield.

At this time, Xu Huzhi also led the military workers team to arrive here.

After a brief combat meeting between the two sides, Zhang Dabiao led the well-fed and strengthened company soldiers, led by Xu Huzhi, towards the predetermined ambush location.

middle of the line.

It was Xu Ping, several new gunners, and the ammunition handler leading several mules carrying artillery shells.

Under Zhang Dabiao's special order, one of the tall gunners probably marched carrying an assembled 60mm mortar.

The 60 mortar is not large in size, but it is mounted on the shoulders and positioned very high. Coupled with the tall gunner, it attracts the attention of almost all the members of the armed workers team.

"It actually has a cannon!"

Seeing the main force, especially the mortars in the team, the members of the armed workers team were in high spirits and their morale was greatly improved.

···
at the same time.

In Liao County, a transport team consisting of five large vehicles, escorted by ten Japanese and fifteen puppet troops, drove towards Liao Town, with its final destination being the Xiazhuang stronghold in the south of Liao Town.

"Damn it."

During this period, the fifteen puppet soldiers being escorted could not help but curse in their hearts.

Although working for the Japanese can make a good living, have a backer, and reap benefits in the countryside, serving the Japanese is not an easy task.

Along the way, fifteen puppet troops rode in front and behind the horses, obeying the command of Taijun's father. They also had to take care of the mules pulling the cart. When encountering potholes, they had to push the cart manually, which was harder than dogs.

···
ten o'clock in the morning.

The Japanese transport team passed through the Liao Town stronghold and continued its march.

This section of the journey was all on highways, which was obviously much easier. The transport team also sped up, but three hours later, as the transport team entered the mountain horse road, the speed slowed down again.

And ahead is the planned ambush position.

"The Japanese transport team is here!"

The scout soldier's words refreshed Zhang Dabiao and Xu Huzhi.
