Chapter 301: South Manchuria Winter Offensive (3)
Yin Xinjun went around to the north of the city.
As expected, a bright light was discovered.
In the dead of night, any lights in the county town are valuable targets for attack!
He took out his telescope and saw a big door.
There was a gasoline lamp hanging at the door, and there were two Japanese soldiers standing guard!
Yin Xinjun immediately moved closer to observe.
This is a large courtyard surrounded by a high wall!
Just by listening to the breathing sounds, there are more than 800 people inside, all sleeping soundly!
The mortars were not powerful enough to kill the Japanese who were hiding in the house.
He retreated about 600-700 meters.
He took out a Type 97 sniper rifle, aimed it at a sentry, and pulled the trigger.
There was a crisp gunshot.
The Japanese soldiers fell headfirst!
The other soldier looked at the dark night sky and nervously raised his rifle.
"Crack!" Another shot.
Both of them fell to the ground!
Soon, I heard a noisy sound of footsteps.
Yin Xinjun also immediately set up the double mortars.
A large group of Japanese soldiers arrived at the gate and surrounded the bodies of the two sentries in amazement.
A rapid whistling sound came from overhead, and shells fell from the sky one after another!
Amid the violent explosions, Japanese soldiers fell down in large numbers, and the scene was filled with blood and flesh flying everywhere!
The Japanese soldiers in the barracks also rushed out of the house frantically at this time. They were very annoyed and looked for their targets everywhere.
Hearing the footsteps, Yin Xinjun operated the mortar and continued to fire!
The mortar shells were all used up.
The remaining surviving Japanese soldiers hid in the houses in the yard and did not dare to come out. They had no idea how many enemies had come and could only desperately call for help!
Yin Xinjun exchanged another Type 97 tank from the space. He directly operated the 57mm tank gun and fired several rounds at the gate of the barracks.
At this time, there were already dead bodies lying on the ground at the gate.
Yin Xinjun operated the tank cannon and simply blew the gate to pieces!
Seeing that it was getting late, he drove the tank away from here and headed towards the east!
Yin Xinjun didn’t know how many Japanese soldiers he had killed, but after a rough estimate, the number of people whose breathing disappeared was at least 300!
However, Yin Xinjun didn't care how many devils he killed. He was happy about the huge harvest tonight.
Seeing so much gold, Yin Xinjun suddenly thought of a solution. One day, he should go to the Soviet Union to buy some PPSh and Dapanji to enhance the close combat firepower of his team.
He thought to himself, it is true that a horse cannot grow fat without grass at night. The banknotes looted tonight alone are enough to cover the military expenses for this South Manchuria expedition. The gold cannot be spent easily in the future and must be saved to buy arms!
Since I'm addicted to robbing, why not go to Jiaohe County in the north again! Make more noise, and you can also support Dingshan's main force to besiege Da Puchai River!
When Ding Shan led the teams to the outskirts of Da Puchai River,
It's already morning time.
Following the order, each team sent out reconnaissance teams to scout the Da Puchai River and its surrounding terrain and enemy situation!
Sun Wei's main job is reconnaissance, so he attaches great importance to reconnaissance. He even set up a reconnaissance platoon under the command of the third squadron, which is commanded by him personally!
This time he was responsible for reconnaissance in the direction of Dunhua to the north of the town. Sun Wei and Yuan Canhai discussed it and decided to send out two reconnaissance teams at once!
And the deputy captain Yuan Canhai led the team personally!
Yuan Canhai was the former head of the Anti-Japanese United Army. During the meeting that day, he was very clear about Yan Wang's intentions.
Strive to surround the point and attack the reinforcements! The focus is Dunhua!
Therefore, Yuan Canhai personally led the team for two purposes. The first was to find a suitable ambush site, and the second was to scout the enemy situation in Dunhua.
They traveled through the mountains and forests for about 10 miles, and then Yuan Canhai arrived at a place called Hancongling!
Here the mountains are high and the forests are dense.
The highest peak is over 1000 meters.
The road from Dunhua to Dapuchaihe is in the valley.
Yuan Canhai was halfway up the mountain, looking around with a telescope, and couldn't help but exclaim, this was a great place for an ambush!
There was a kettle hanging around his waist, but it was not filled with water, but wine!
Yuan Canhai excitedly unscrewed the wine flask and took a sip.
In such a cold day, drinking some wine seems to warm my whole body!
Soldier Jin Heng took out a piece of dried meat, ate it slowly, and said to Yuan Canhai,
"Deputy Captain Yuan, you need to eat more meat. It's an illusion that you feel warm after drinking alcohol!"
Jin Heng used to be a hunter and had a lot of experience in keeping warm. This time when he went out for reconnaissance, his backpack was filled with food!
Yuan Canhai smiled and took out a piece of compressed biscuit and started eating.
"Old Jin, place an ambush here. What do you think will happen if the Japanese pass by?"
Jin Heng stretched his head and looked into the ditch. There was a drop of 20-30 meters.
"Captain Yuan, just throwing grenades can kill all the Japanese!"
"Ha ha!"
Yuan Canhai laughed loudly and said to the other scouts,
"You guys record the terrain and location, draw a map, and then go back and report to Captain Sun. Lao Jin and I will take a look ahead!"
To the east of the town, Fenghuanggou,
Before dawn,
Tents appeared in the forests on both sides.
This is Wu Feng leading the fourth team on foot and light equipment, and they are coming straight in!
In the tent, Wu Bing opened the curtain and crawled in, shivering with cold.
"Brother, it's really cold! When do we start the attack?"
"Deputy Captain Ding said that we will attack at 3 pm! Let's arrange some people to scout the east first!"
"Then I'll take people with me!"
After coming under the King of Hell's command, Wu Bing and Wu Feng's identities were swapped, but Wu Bing still very much supports his brother Wu Feng's work!
"Why do you have to go there in person? Just arrange a few people to scout the east!" Wu Feng advised.
"Brother, we need to find out the enemy situation within 30 kilometers to prevent the enemy from coming to reinforce from the east! I will go there in person, so I can rest assured!"
"Okay, be careful and don't expose yourself if you encounter the enemy!" Wu Feng said somewhat worriedly.
"Look at you, we are paving the way for the headquarters. I am the one who leads the reconnaissance along the way!" Wu Bing said with a smile.
"Then bring more food!" Wu Feng reminded again!
The baggage train is at the entrance of the tent.
Lin Congnan, the platoon leader of the first company, came with two new recruits from the platoon to collect supplies.
When he stated his purpose and took out the squad leader's approval note, a baggage carrier immediately entered the tent to tidy up things, and soon he came out carrying a basket!
In the basket was a pair of binoculars, and a pile of canned goods and biscuits.
"Take as much dry food as you want. If you don't have enough, there's more!"
Lin Congnan is a veteran soldier of the First Army and a capable general under Wu Bing, who is deeply trusted by Wu Bing.
His eyes lit up, and he picked up the telescope and hung it around his neck.
Then he hurriedly called out to the two soldiers behind him,
"Come here, put it in your backpack!"
The three of them quickly divided up the contents of the basket!
