Chapter 80: The Battle of the Spirit Country (1)

"I'll tell you the general situation of the Meihongshan Military Station first," Tang Cheng locked himself in the house, and was busy until it was time to eat dinner, and when he opened the door, there was already an extra sand table in the room. This improvised sand table is the result of the aggregation of the information provided by the guerrillas and the results of our own reconnaissance, and the area of this Japanese military station is not large, but not far from the military station is Meihong Mountain. This has both advantages and disadvantages for us, the advantage is that we have figured out the pattern of Japanese sentry posts and patrols, and we have guerrillas to help continue to collect information. ”

Lao Dongbei, who was called into the house by Tang Cheng, looked down at the sand table, but no one spoke, Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi knew Tang Cheng's habits, but Wu Chuang and Tan Fei saw the sand table for the first time, and they just looked at the sand table and forgot to speak. "As I said just now, this kind of terrain has advantages and disadvantages for us, and now the disadvantage for us is that most of the fields outside the military station are fields with a wide field of vision, which is convenient for the Japanese army to use machine guns and grenadiers and other strong firepower weapons to counterattack us, if it is a forced attack, our casualties will not be small." Tang Cheng's words made Old Northeast's face begin to become solemn.

"Everybody look here, the east side of the station is a wasteland, where weeds are overgrown, and the terrain is a little undulating, which is good for us." The short wooden stick in Tang Cheng's hand was on the east side of the sand table, and then on the west side of the north side of the military station, "Behind the military station, that is, on the west side, there is a flat field, and there is no place to cover us, so it is very unfavorable for our movement and concealment. However, there was a forest on the north side of the field, and according to my observation at the time, the distance between that forest and the military station was only about 300 meters, and if this forest was used well, it would be much less difficult to take down the military station. ”

"The Japanese military station also pulled barbed wire fence outside, especially on both sides of the gate of the military station, which was located next to the avenue on the east side, only 20 meters away from the main road. There are double posts at the gate, respectively on the left and right sides of the gate, and the machine gun bunkers at the gate are built with sandbags, and the height of the sandbags is only 1 m2. There are two wooden sentry towers in the northwest and southwest corners of the military station near Meihong Mountain, the height of the sentry tower is about 3 meters, and a machine gun is set up on it, and there are two Japanese soldiers guarding it.

"Every half an hour in the station, a Japanese patrol will patrol along the barbed wire, and the patrol team has six Japanese soldiers." When Tang Cheng introduced the situation of the military station, all of them in the old northeast showed a solemn look. When Tang Cheng told Yan Hongjiao that the operation was delayed, they thought that it would not be difficult to defeat the military station, but now that Tang Cheng said this, this bone is really not easy to gnaw. After a series of battles in Huandiqiao Town before, everyone's mentality was completely different from before, and now even Tan Fei saw the difficulty of attacking the Japanese military station.

"According to guerrilla intelligence and reconnaissance, as well as our observations from the perimeter of the station, there should be a stockpile of fuel and a large amount of grain and straw in the station, and possibly some guns and ammunition." Putting down the short wooden stick in his hand, Tang Cheng glanced at everyone present. "Our purpose is to help the guerrillas eliminate the military station and the artillery tower established by the Japanese army in Lingxiang Township, so our task is only to shoot the Japanese puppet soldiers in the military station and the turret, and as for the captured materials, the guerrillas will dispose of them. According to what we have agreed with the guerrillas, among all the booty, we only need 30% of the goods, ammunition, and grenades, and you will not see anything at that time, and don't lose my face and let the guerrillas laugh at us. ”

Yan Hongjiao didn't know that Tang Cheng was hiding in the house and using the sand table to conduct tactical deduction with Lao Northeast, not to mention that she didn't know what tactical deduction was, and when Yan Hongjiao saw this sand table, Tang Cheng and they had already stopped discussing. "Captain Yan, this is a sand table, which I made based on the information provided by your guerrillas and our on-the-spot observation today, you can take a good look, I am going to take a few people to Lingxiang Town to reconnoiter the turret, and I will talk about everything when I come back."

Of course, Yan Hongjiao was not worried that Tang Cheng would only take his men out to investigate, so she bluntly said that she would also go with her, on the grounds that she was familiar with the terrain here in Lingxiang Town. Half an hour later, a group of Japanese soldiers appeared on the road leading to Lingxiang Town, Tangcheng they were all wearing Japanese military uniforms, these military uniforms were still captured in Huandiqiao Town, of course, these military uniforms were cleaned by the Japanese army and dried in the barracks.

"Company Commander Tang, there is Changping Village in front, the artillery tower built by the devils from Changping Village is only a mile away, there is a checkpoint for devils in Changping Village, we have to be careful." Yan Hongjiao, who was in charge of leading the way, suddenly stopped, pointed to the direction of the cooking smoke rising in front of him and said to Tang Cheng. Hearing this, Tang Cheng took out his binoculars and looked at the smoke in front of him on a higher ground, as Yan Hongjiao said just now, there is indeed a Japanese checkpoint in the direction of Changping Village, but it is not the Japanese soldiers who guard the checkpoint but several imperial allegorical troops.

"We don't enter Lingxiang Township, so we don't have to think about this Japanese checkpoint." After looking at the level with the telescope for a while, Tang Cheng pretended not to see Yan Hongjiao's desire for his telescope, and directly retracted the telescope into the box on his waist. "This road leads directly to Lingxiang Township, and also leads to the Japanese military station in Meihong Mountain, we just need to wait here." Tang Cheng's words made Yan Hongjiao suddenly realize that this was simply because Tang Cheng didn't believe in the guerrillas' intelligence, so he disguised himself as a Japanese soldier and came to do reconnaissance.

"Company commander, let's be wearing the military uniform of a little devil now, why don't we go directly to Lingxiang Town? I'll finish that bullshit turret today, and in two days, I can concentrate on dealing with the little devil's military station. Tan Fei's whispered question made Tang Cheng's face darken, if he had seen that this guy was unreliable, he shouldn't have taken this kid in the first place.

"You kid is wearing a little devil's military uniform now, don't open your mouth if you can't speak Japanese, if someone listens to it, then our efforts will be in vain." Lao Dongbei stretched out his hand and wanted to knock Tan Fei's chestnut, but was dodged by Tan Fei, who was quick and quick-eyed. "Count you kid hiding fast!" Lao Dongbei glared at Tan Fei, and sat down on the stone on the side of the road with a big grin, it was not the first time that Lao Dongbei followed Tang Cheng to wear the military uniform of the Japanese army, he knew what to do and what not to do, it was absolutely not okay to speak Chinese in the uniform of the Japanese army.

Seeing that Tan Fei was still glaring at Lao Dongbei, Tang Cheng said with a smile, "What Lao Dongbei said just now is right, you have to pay attention to details in everything, especially when you are close to the enemy with makeup and reconnaissance like ours, you can't be negligent at all, otherwise you will die." Glancing at Yan Hongjiao, whose military uniform obviously did not fit, out of the corner of his eye, Tang Cheng continued, "From now on, you try not to speak, and when something happens, I will come forward." ”

Tang Cheng's reconnaissance did not last a whole day as Yan Hongjiao imagined, Tang Cheng just approached the Japanese army's turret and carefully observed for a while, and then carefully observed the terrain along the road, and then urged him to return to Nanshan Village to rest. "Captain Yan, I think we might as well divide the troops, I originally thought that the chances of our two groups of people together would be greater, today I have seen the Japanese artillery tower and the surrounding terrain, I estimate that your guerrillas can also take down the artillery tower, we are following, it seems to be a little redundant."

"Company Commander Tang, aren't you scared?" Yan Hongjiao sneered and looked at Tang Cheng, this would be just the time for dinner, Tang Cheng suddenly proposed the division of troops, purely to pour his appetite.

"Captain Yan, although I Tang Cheng is not very old, I am also a person who remembers his promises, and I must do what I say. We don't kill fewer little devils than you, and I can't talk about being afraid or not, I just don't want my brothers to run in vain. Tang Cheng, who was sitting opposite Yan Hongjiao, suddenly raised Erlang's legs, and waited for Liu Shishi to light a cigarette for himself with a cigarette in his hand.

Yan Hongjiao still wanted to reason with Tang Cheng, but was pulled aside by Liu Shishi, who was accompanied by the smiling face, and whispered comfort, "Captain Yan, our company commander is such a dog temper, don't be like him, you can't eat if you can't get angry, you can't eat, you can't row." "Liu Shishi is the youngest of them in Tang City, if it weren't for the shell gun pinned to his waist and the rifle on his back, Liu Shishi would be no different from those half-grown children in Nanshan Village, Yan Hongjiao would definitely not stare at Liu Shi.

Yan Hongjiao was persuaded away by Liu Shishi, Tang Cheng, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at Lao Dongbei, who nodded knowingly and followed Yan Hongjiao out of the courtyard, leaving only the triumphant Tang Cheng and Tan Fei and Hou San who didn't know what was going on. After a quarter of an hour, Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi came back one after another, and Tang Cheng could see Yan Hongjiao's figure through the gate of the courtyard that was not closed, but the latter only lingered outside the gate for a while, but did not come in.

"Why don't you tell the truth to that woman?" During the meal, Lao Dongbei asked the question that he had been thinking about for a while. On the way back from the reconnaissance, Tang Cheng had already discussed with Lao Northeast, whether it was attacking the military station or attacking the ** building, Tang Cheng only used his own people. After Tang Cheng personally reconnoitred the military station, he no longer really believed in the information provided by the guerrillas, the information that Yan Hongjiao gave Tang Cheng was too different from what he observed on the spot, Tang Cheng didn't know if there was a problem with the guerrillas' intelligence, anyway, he didn't dare to fight side by side with the guerrillas, it was good for them to clean up the battlefield and be responsible for the back road.
