Chapter 959: Drizzle
Judging from all directions, the value of this barracks is more as a transit station.
The forest covers a wide area, and an area on the edge of the forest is where the two sides are now fighting each other. It has been developed into a large area, and there are two large cities on the edge of the forest, and there are many surrounding towns and villages, but for the purpose of protecting the environment, this forest has not been touched.
Moreover, the terrain here is too complex and difficult to develop, and it is too difficult to build a city, so it is better to develop in other directions.
This situation also turned the forest here into a natural barrier, blocking the offensive of the armies of both sides, making it impossible for either side to pass through the forest to reach other battlefields. This is especially unfavorable for the Japanese army, as the attacker, if the direction of attack is fixed, then the defender only needs to hold its own fixed attack point, and the attacker can only take a strong attack to break through the defender's defense and open up other battlefields.
And if it can bypass this forest, the army can send troops from here to fight in other areas, although the idea of attacking the defenders after bypassing is not very realistic, but this approach can indeed put some pressure on the Chinese defenders.
Because the direction of the Japanese army's offensive became more, the battlefield began to increase. In order to counter this, the Chinese forces had to divide their forces and expel or annihilate the enemy from all directions. And in the defenders on the front, the strength will be relatively weak. At this time, even if the Japanese troops still take a strong attack, the defensive firepower they face will be reduced accordingly.
Even if the two sides on this side are facing each other, these roundabout troops can also arrive in other theaters of war, and seat reinforcements to support the front battle.
The entire supply lines and troop transport lines of the Japanese army in the southern part of the Chinese zone were completely cut off by the Chinese troops in the previous decisive battle, so that the Japanese troops attacking the southern region were now in an awkward position. Chinese forces have held the most critical positions. No matter how many people there are, it will not be able to take it down, and even if the bombers carry out carpet bombing, the effect will not necessarily be very good, because the defense system of the Chinese troops has been completely built, and they are fighting hard head-on. It was definitely the Japanese army that suffered.
The inability to transport troops also caused the war situation on this side to be sluggish, and the Chinese troops took measures to defend to the death, and the Japanese troops did not have any way.
And if such a troop transfer station can be opened up in this forest, then the current situation will be much better.
Although he still can't recover the strength of the troop transportation before the decisive battle, he can at least send his troops into the battlefield to fight, instead of being stuck at home and having no chance to fight.
Zhang Tianhai sat down against the big tree. Looking at the map in my hand, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that my ideas were reliable.
Because this place really has no value that can be used as a base by the Japanese troops, whether it is offensive or defensive, this is not a good choice, and this is the only situation that is more in line with the situation. Zhang Tianhai felt that even if he didn't think correctly, it must be almost the same.
Think of it this way. Then this military camp can't be built by them. However, due to the complexity of the surrounding environment. The Japanese troops could not move too many troops into the forest, and the Chinese troops on the contrary did the same. Without enough troops and firepower, there is no way to take this place by himself, and with his few people who carry out assassination missions, at most, they will only kill a few officers and commanders, and want to destroy this place. It's simply unrealistic.
Aerial bombs can't be used or anything. The forest is full of flammable trees, and these bombs will almost certainly catch fire. Once the fire turns into a forest fire, the Black Saber squad and other squads on mission in the forest, as well as some bases and barracks at the edge of the forest. It's all inevitable. In this way, the loss will be more than yourself, and the gains outweigh the losses.
What to do at present, Zhang Tianhai is a little worried.
After a long time, Zhang Tianhai shook his head.
I still have less information, and I can't think of any way to think of this mess here, so let's focus on my own task first. General Wang asked the Black Saber Squad to deal with the commander here, so it should be meaningful, maybe General Wang will have other backhands behind him, just waiting to get this step by himself, so there are too many things, don't think about it yourself. If General Wang doesn't have any good solutions, then after he successfully returns from completing the mission, the troops will also have a certain amount of time to react. Even if there were already a new commander here by then, the defenses here would surely be in shambles.
It is impossible to replace all of these soldiers in a short period of time, and only officers and commanders will be replaced. When the time comes, the commander is not familiar with the soldiers, and the soldiers are not familiar with the commander, so there will be a lot of trouble in itself, and when the time comes, there will be loopholes for themselves to drill.
As early as when he was hiding here, Zhang Tianhai radioized and contacted three nearby squads who were also carrying out the same task as himself. The three squads were not together, and the two sniper squads were far away from the barracks, on two hills, barely able to see some of the houses inside the barracks. And that reconnaissance team surprised Zhang Tianhai and the others a little.
Because the place where they are hiding, right next to the enemy barracks.
There are a few places near the barracks that are particularly planted, and if you get in, you won't see anything wrong if you don't get close. In particular, there are a few places where there are fences made of wooden stakes, and it would be safer to hide here, because basically no one will jump over these walls, let alone come to these hidden corners.
After observing for a while, Zhang Tianhai probably found the location of these people.
In a corner position like this, there are two enemies, and they can directly avoid the perspective of their own side, but judging from the trend of the wall, they can probably know what is behind it. Over there, it's easy to hide, and you won't be seen by the sentry here. If it's hidden there, it's even more hidden than your own position. However, if you reconnoiter or something, the field of vision will not be very good, because if you hide there, you can only observe through the gap between the stakes, and your field of vision is very limited.
And for these people, the Black Saber squad is even more daring. Their position is almost under the nose of the dark whistle above, and as long as the other party walks towards this side, then they will be very dangerous. But they managed to come to this place, avoiding the eyes of the dark whistle, and hid safely in such a position.
Not to mention the rest, the view here is definitely the best, and being able to see some areas that other squads can't see, opportunities are relatively easier for them to seize.
It's just that once exposed, if you want to evacuate, this position is quite dangerous, because there is only one direction that can escape, and if the speed is not fast enough and you are bitten by the enemy, then you can basically give up resistance.
The four teams are also exchanging and exchanging information with each other from time to time, and by now, everyone has almost the same information. And none of the squads acted rashly, because until now, everyone has not seen their goals appear in their eyes.
The reconnaissance team also had no intention of infiltrating the barracks, which was no different from looking for death.
However, to the comfort of several squads, they did not see any military dogs in this barracks.
The military dog is simply a sharp weapon for pursuit, if you retreat or sneak in, you may be a military dog, and you will be wiped out. At this time, there are no military dogs in the barracks, so it means that you don't have to think about such a factor, and the difficulty of the task has decreased accordingly.
Two more days passed.
The weather, which had just been sunny for a day, was cloudy again in the morning. It didn't take long for the rain to fall from the sky.
The rain was not very heavy, but it lasted for a very long time. One morning passed, and the rain continued to fall without the slightest intention of stopping.
The ground was already wet, and the dirt road below, which was about to dry out, had once again turned into mud in the rain. The black saber team hidden under the big tree was also completely soaked at this time.
The water that falls from the canopy of the trees doesn't look like the rain outside. The water that had accumulated in the canopy of the trees fell and turned into raindrops the size of beans and fell on everyone's bodies. Some of the small pits around have turned into pools, but everyone hiding under the camouflage suits has not made any movement.
At this time, as usual, some people were sleeping and resting, and some were scouting. The rain didn't affect everyone much, but it was just a little uncomfortable, and I didn't feel any problems.
At this time, there was not much movement in the barracks, neither the soldiers nor the villagers who were captured to work were working at this time, and they all shrank in their rooms to avoid the rain. Occasionally, cheers and yells can be heard in certain rooms, but not many people can be seen.
Still, some people can see it clearly. Many of the villagers who were arrested to work as laborers were locked up in iron cages. These cages are placed under the propped up house, or in the corner of the house, against the wall. The cages had no effect on sheltering from the rain, and a group of villagers who were locked inside were shivering in the rain.
There was no shelter from the rain, no warm items, not even a piece of intact clothing. Looking at these villagers, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but close his eyes and twist his head to the side. (To be continued......)
