Chapter 12 Zhang Wu's Mission

"Your brain is really quick!"

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement with a look of "You are a genius" on his face:
"That's right, this is called that... Yes, lure the snake out of its hole!
Send out a company, divide it into three groups, two of which will fly under the flags of Cheng Xiazi's 772nd Regiment and Kong Erlengzi's Independent Regiment, and the remaining group will fly under the flag of our New 60st Regiment. They will rush kilometers and make a fake night attack on the county town. I don't believe that the Japanese will not be anxious!
As long as the Japanese in Panshui Town make a move, we'll beat them to a pulp in Zaoshugou!"

As he spoke, he tapped Panshui Town on the map:
"Strike while the iron is hot, attack Panshui Town at night and take it down in one battle!"

"Your plan works!"

Zhang Dabiao kept nodding. Finally, he looked at Li Yunlong and said tentatively with some concern:
“But if this happens, will it cause a chain reaction among the Japanese in Fang County?

The insider in Wupan County has received news that the Sakata Corps has been transferred from southwest Shanxi. If the Japanese are allowed to mop up the area ahead of time..."

"Stop flattering yourself. How much are you worth?"

Li Yunlong interrupted him and said indifferently:

“Don’t say that the county town was just a feint attack. Even if they took it, the Sakata Brigade would not disrupt their entire mopping-up plan for a small county town!

If I were Shinozuka Yoshio, my target would definitely be the 129th Division Headquarters, or at least the Taiyue Military Region or the 386th Brigade Headquarters!"

Touching the back of his head, Zhang Dabiao smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, stop grinning!"

Li Yunlong glared:

"Pass on my order, have all company-level cadres and above come to the meeting!"

Zhang Dabiao stood at attention with his chest puffed out:
"Yes!"

As the meeting ended, the entire regiment gathered urgently. Gu Dashan began to distribute ammunition and three days of dry food. Zhang Wu then breathed a sigh of relief. The war was finally about to begin.

Sure enough, after receiving 60 rounds of 6.5mm Arisaka bullets, Tani Dashan said loudly:

"This time our entire regiment is going to Zaoshugou to fight off an ambush by a squadron of Japanese soldiers.

I secured for our company the task of cutting off the Japs' retreat!
Apart from the main attack of the first battalion, our company's mission is the most important!

The commander values ​​us so much, we can't give up, we have to fight hard, we can't let a single devil escape, do you hear me?"

"heard it!"

Hearing that the Ninth Company was to carry out such an important mission, the soldiers were pleasantly surprised and eager to fight.

"Don't worry, Captain. Even if demons and monsters pass through our area, their heads will be spared!"

"That's right. If the Japs don't come, it's fine. But if they dare to come, I can kill them both with one hand!"

"Okay, I'll treat you guys to a drink after we win the battle!"

Gu Dashan was very satisfied with the high morale. He finally walked up to Zhang Wu and said,
"This Japanese squadron not only carried two Type 2 infantry guns and two Type 2 heavy machine guns, but also nine Type 9 rifles and nine grenade launchers!

They say they are here to deal with you specifically, but I think it is more of a deterrent. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and they are scaring the people!
When you get to Zaoshugou, choose a suitable position and focus on taking care of these heavy firepower!"

This firepower is already that of a reinforced squadron!
Zhang Wu didn't believe that they were here to deal with him. Seeing Gu Dashan waiting for an answer, he quickly stood at attention and saluted:

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"Ok!"

Patting Zhang Wu's shoulder with satisfaction, Gu Dashan and others finished distributing the ammunition and dry food, and then led the 4th Company to gather at the village entrance. After Li Yunlong's brief pre-war mobilization, except for the th Company of the nd Battalion which was making a feint attack, all the others rushed to Zaoshugou.

On the way, Zhang Wu couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Captain, isn't the whole regiment moving together? Why isn't the 4th Company here?"

Gu Dashan explained: "That Japanese squadron refused to leave, so our regiment commander came up with a tactic of alerting the enemy and asked the 4th Company to disguise themselves as the 3rd regiment and go outside the county town to bluff..."

county seat?

Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows and didn't want to listen to the rest of the words. He could also make a feint attack on the county town and take the opportunity to gain experience!

Wouldn't the bluffing be more realistic if combined with his marksmanship?

"Don't even think about it. Do you think going to the county town to bluff is a good job?"

He was thinking about this when Gu Dashan looked as if he saw through him and said:
"It's 60 kilometers from Zhangzhuang to the county seat, and 50 kilometers from the county seat to Zaoshugou, so it's a 110-kilometer round trip!

Tomorrow, the Japanese squadron may arrive at Zaoshugou. Is it worthwhile to fire two shots outside the county town and not have the energy to set up an ambush?"

110 km!

Zhang Wu smashed it all the time, and finally had no choice but to give up.

With his current physical strength, it is impossible for him to run 110 kilometers and then launch an ambush!
After copying the telescope, if there is no other good choice, you can copy Monk Wei!

Zhang Wu was thinking in his mind that Monk Wei was able to carry Li Yunlong on his back for dozens of miles to Zhaojiayu, and then run dozens more miles on mountain roads to consult a Chinese doctor. He must be a physical genius!
Having made up his mind, he followed the large group on the rapid march and after 30 kilometers, he finally arrived at Zaoshugou.

Zaoshugou runs from north to south. It is called a ditch, but in fact it is just a dry shallow trough. Later, a road was built in the shallow trough, forming the current Zaoshugou.

The edge of the shallow trough is 100 meters away from the road. It is low and unobstructed, and people can only hide under the edge.

If it weren't for the fact that this place has a wide firing range, is suitable for a regiment to deploy, and is the only way from Panshui Town to Fangxian County, Li Yunlong would never have chosen this place as the ambush site.

Arrange the first battalion in the south, the second battalion in the middle, the third battalion in the north, and the ninth company at the entrance. Li Yunlong was worried, so he called Zhang Wu and told him:
"This time the Japs are carrying heavy weapons, I will arrange for one battalion to attack first, and then the whole regiment will open fire together.

But if the Japanese want to escape, the Ninth Company will definitely be under the greatest pressure. Whether we can lock up the Japanese to death depends entirely on you!"

"Don't worry, Commander. Our company commander has told me that I will prioritize destroying the heavy firepower of the Japanese!"

Zhang Wu said confidently:
"The little Japs are nothing special. No matter how much they brag about Bushido, they will still die if we shoot them!"

"Well said, this is inspiring!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder:

"When this battle is over, I will go to the brigade commander to find you a Karl-98K!"

Zhang Wu's eyes lit up:
"Thank you, leader!"

After Li Yunlong left, Zhang Wu took out the telescope and looked for a suitable sniping position.

He is the firepower provider of the 9th Company. He has to take advantage of his range and not let the Japanese find him easily.

Soon, he found a location 300 meters away from the road.

Although this place is a little closer, it can cover a large section of the highway, making it convenient for him to target the Japanese's heavy firepower points.

After telling Gu Dashan the location, he went there, filled the magazine of the Type 38 rifle with bullets, ate, and rested, looking forward to the arrival of the Japanese the next day.

Perhaps the 4th Company's feint attack was very effective, or perhaps the Japanese had stayed in Panshui Town long enough. In any case, Zhang Wu was not disappointed, and the Japanese squadron approached Zaoshugou the next morning.

"Haha, it finally came out!"

Hearing the scout's report, Li Yunlong was overjoyed and said to the messenger:
"Pass my order, prepare for battle!"
