Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 56

Shuiquan Village is a village less than [-] miles away from Laiyuan County, and it can take up to three hours to reach the county by a quick march.

At the same time, Shuiquan Village is also the only way from Laiyuan to Lingqiu.

Although the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression of the Jinchaji Military Region ended in failure, the devils who withdrew from the Jinchaji Military Region did not give up on the occupied counties.

When the Japanese army retreated, Lingqiu County directly left a mixed brigade, centered on the county seat, to search and eliminate the surrounding Eighth Route Army.

With so many devils, the supplies and ammunition needed every day are astronomical.Therefore, the devil garrison in Laiyuan County will deliver a batch of supplies to Lingqiu every other week!
Because Shuiquan Village is the only way for the devils to pass, in order to ensure the safety of this road, the devils directly stationed an infantry squad and a company of the puppet army here, with a total strength of more than 150 people.

Because the devils at this time had not been attacked before, they did not spend effort to build bunkers and cannons beside the road. More than 150 people directly occupied several compounds in the village, and more than 100 people were stationed in the compound!

This is convenient for the devils, but it hurts the people of Shuiquan Village and several surrounding villages.

Although the supplies of the Japanese and puppet troops were sent from the county, for the devils, there were always times when they were boring and didn't want to eat too much of these supplies.

The puppet army that assisted the devils in defending the line of communication became the most loyal lackeys of the devils at this time!
In order to improve food, the puppet army continued to use platoons as units, leading a detachment of devil soldiers, to search for wealth in surrounding villages.

It is very painful that the only cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks in the people's family were all snatched by the Japanese and puppet troops in just one month.

If you don't give it, the devil will punch and kick it when you come up. If you are unlucky, you will be rewarded with a peanut directly.

Of course, this is not the most ruthless.

After eating and thinking, after the food was ready, the devil took a fancy to the beautiful girls around him again.

The company commander of the puppet army is a traitor and running dog through and through. After receiving the instructions from the devil squad leader, he took people to the countryside to rob people without saying a word.

So, during the more than a month of the devils' garrison, more than a dozen girls and daughter-in-laws were insulted by the devils, and then six of them committed suicide at the gate of the barracks because they couldn't stand the insult.

It can be said that with Shuiquan Village as the center, people in more than a dozen villages, large and small, hate the more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops in Shuiquan Village.

But because no one helped them, everyone could only keep their anger and hatred in their stomachs.

Seeing the information provided by the underground party, Wang Ping directly set his first recruitment target at Shuiquan Village!
"Battle Commander, Shuiquan Village is a good place. As long as you get the support of the local people, you can easily recruit hundreds of strong young men from more than a dozen villages around Shuiquan Village!" Instructor Cheng Xiao agreed with this opinion.

"It's very simple!" Wang Ping said with a pair of eyes that quickly shot out two bright lights.

"As long as we eliminate more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops in Shuiquan Village and avenge the surrounding villagers, the villagers will definitely support us in fighting the devils!"

"It's a way! But the devils are not vegetarians. There are more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops, and there are more than 50 devils alone. They are also equipped with two crooked handles, two grenade launchers, and a heavy machine gun. And they also have The yard is defending, and it is close to the county seat, and the devils come by car for reinforcements, and they can kill them in an hour! This means that we must resolve the battle within an hour, and then quickly withdraw from the battlefield!" Cheng Xiao frowned and analyzed road.

"The equipment of our independent battalion is good. With three mortars, a storm will definitely take down the puppet army of more than 100 days. But there is a problem. There are too many recruits in the army, and the casualties of the storm will definitely be great, and there is no guarantee that one Hours to end the fight!"

"Then eat the little devil's reinforcements together!" Wang Ping said with a big mouth!
Cheng Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then objected: "No, we only have 200 people, it's too risky to fight like this!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "It's a bit of a risk, but as long as we calculate well, we can definitely fight well, and we can achieve the greatest results at the least cost!"

"Look, Lao Cheng, if I use a company to attack the devils, how many reinforcements do you think the devils in Laiyuan City will send?"

"With an infantry squadron in the sky, there are not many devils in the county. It is impossible to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. When the devils come, a small squad is more than enough to take care of our company, let alone an infantry squadron!"

"Besides, the devils in Laiyuan City were withdrawn from the front line, and a lot of heavy equipment was left behind. According to the report of the underground party, there are less than [-] vehicles in the entire Laiyuan City, which are specially used to deliver supplies to various strongholds. Even if the little devil If you want to send more reinforcements, there are not so many cars!" Cheng Xiao frowned and analyzed.

Wang Ping then added: "Then you pay, I use two companies plus the artillery platoon and the guard platoon together to ambush the devil reinforcements and an infantry squadron. Is it possible to win!"

"Sure, we have three mortars and four grenade launchers. We have enough ammunition. If we are lucky, we can kill more than half of the devils in the first round of firepower!" Cheng Xiao replied with bright eyes.

But only a few seconds later, Cheng Xiao frowned again.

"There is another problem. There are more than 160 Japanese and puppet troops in Shuiquan Village, and our company only has about [-] people. How could it be possible to beat the devils to ask for help from Laiyuan County! This is impossible, and the little devils are not mud Pinched!"

"The mountain people have their own tricks!" Wang Ping replied confidently and mysteriously without explaining!

In Shuiquan Village, where the Japanese and puppet troops were stronghold, early in the morning, the company commander of the puppet army, Wang Decai, ran out of the room of the Japanese squad leader amid scolding, with a red slap on his face.

The first platoon leader of the puppet army, Wang Decai's confidant, immediately ran over and asked concerned: "Company commander, what does Zhongtian want to do?"

"It's not that there is no delicious food. Zhongtian said that he is tired of eating canned food for the past two days. Let's get some fresh chicken, duck and mutton back, otherwise everyone will be beaten!"

"What, the brothers eat steamed buns and vegetable soup every day and don't say anything, but he is not satisfied with canned food every day!" The platoon leader quickly retorted!

"Who made them the masters? We are the slaves! Besides, you didn't take advantage of it when you went out. Stop talking nonsense, call the brothers to prepare to go out and get food for Taijun Zhongtian!" Wang Decai didn't feel like a running dog at all. It is a shameful thing, but ordered with a natural expression.

The reason is very simple, following his master Nakata, he also gained a lot of benefits, just searching and mopping up merchants along the way, he harvested nearly a thousand yuan in a month, as well as a lot of gold and silver jewelry and small yellow croakers.Compared with being a company commander in the Jinsui Army, it is a sky and a ground.

Now, even if he was asked to return to the Jinsui Army as a company commander, he might not be willing!
