Chapter 17: Go out of the city quietly, don’t shoot! ()

On the morning of June 28, as the main force in the attack on Tong County, the 27th Regiment of Caochuan was rapidly moving towards Tong County. During the marching a few days ago, the 27th Regiment was subjected to twelve small-scale sneak attacks, paying the price of 41 casualties.

Although Captain Kusawa Yoshixiong sent a search team in front of him, the results were still not very good. However, five members of the search team were regarded as live targets by the enemy and died under the enemy's gun.

This made Captain Kusawa Yoshixiong very angry. Captain Kusawa Yoshixiong had no choice but to speed up the troops' advancement and send more search teams to open the way in front.

What made the captain Kusawa Yoshihiro even more angry was that so far, he didn't know who his enemy was, and he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. These hateful enemies always fired two shots and ran away, not talking about the spirit of Bushido at all!

What made Kusakawa Yoshihiro most worried was that the road surface is becoming more and more dangerous now, and twenty-two Japanese soldiers have already taken mines and suffered casualties, which has a great blow to the morale of the vanguard soldiers.

But now I am rushing to attack the city, and I don’t have the time to rush with these ambushers that will appear at any time.

"Boom! Boom!" Another eight Japanese soldiers were lucky to be selected by landmines, three dead and five injured!

"Baga! Captain Zhang! Your man's conscience is very bad! Why do you always let the Imperial Army clear the way for you? Your man clears the way for you!" Captain Kusakuro Yoshixiong Regiment shouted at Zhang Changming, the commander of the puppet army.

"Hayi!Hayi!" Zhang Changming, the commander of the puppet army, replied like a defeated grass dog.

Then a team of puppet military intelligence was unvoluntarily driven by Zhang Changming to the forefront of the team as a living mine detector.

Let us transfer the time back to 9:00 a.m. on the 26th. Tao Ping received information from his superiors, saying that the Japanese arrived in Tong County at noon on the 29th, which means that the war began three days later. So Tao Ping immediately held a combat meeting and finally decided to further speed up the progress of the city defense fortifications, and withdraw migrant workers and other non-participants from the city before 12:00 p.m. on the 27th. Others stayed to continue fighting.

After the combat meeting, Tao Ping left two people, one was Chief of Staff Zhou Bin and the other was Chief of the Ordnance Section Lang Fang.

First, Tao Ping explained to Langfang the method and principle of the "dynamite pack ejector" that was only used in the Huaihai Battle later, and casually drew a sketch for Langfang.

"Remember, when starting the experiment, you need to use a simulated explosive pack. Also, you must use a few more iron hoops outside this gasoline barrel. Each emitter cannot be used too many times, which will cause danger. Go and do it!"

Looking at the two people who had not yet come to their senses, Tao Ping thought to you, I can't tell you that this is a powerful weapon invented by Nakano in the Huaihai Battle! Forget it, just treat it as my patented product No. 1.

After driving Lang Fang away, Tao Ping said to Zhou Bin who was still in a daze: "Stop being idle, it's your business now."

"Yes! Leader, you said." Zhou Bin, who had just reacted, replied.

"You are secretly looking for a few comrades. You must have strong investigative skills. You must divide them into two groups, each group is equipped with a radio station, and the weapons must be equipped with good people. Don't have too many people. Go out of the city quietly to lurk.

Remember, the task of these two groups of comrades is to find the Japanese command and artillery positions, not to fight against the Japanese. After finding the position and sending it back, I will remember them with great achievements and do nothing else! This matter is limited to you, me, Commander Yang, Political Commissar Zhang, and the comrades who went to perform the mission know. Do you understand!" Tao Ping said in a low voice.

"Yes!" Zhou Bin replied.

"Remember, go out of the city quietly, don't shoot!" Tao Ping said with a smile to Zhou Bin.

After arranging this, Tao Ping was still a little worried about the recruits, so he decided to check out the training of these recruits.

Therefore, under Tao Ping's teaching, these recruits learned the "behead three-man" tactics in later generations, namely:

In hand-to-hand combat, three people are in a group, one of the three holds a pistol and a big knife. During the battle, the other two face the enemy, and the person holding the pistol is responsible for naming the enemy.

In the afternoon, at three o'clock, Wang Meifeng, who had disappeared in front of Tao Ping for n hours, appeared in front of Tao Ping.

"I can't tell! You are really good at leading troops. The soldiers admire you very much! No wonder my brother said that everyone in the Military Control Commission is trying to make you think about it." Wang Meifeng said.

"No! You can also know such a secret thing." Tao Ping smiled.

"My brother said that there are not many people who value love and friendship like you these days. Let me tell you this news and ask you to be prepared. The people of the Military Control Commission can do anything." Wang Meifeng said seriously.

"What else did your brother say to you?" Tao Ping smiled.

"My brother said, and said..." Wang Meifeng blushed and began to stutter as she said.

Tao Ping followed Wang Haipeng's tone and rushed to say, "Sister! You can't get married anyway, so just treat that kid as a cheap one!"

"You will come to bully me!" Wang Meifeng pinched Tao Ping with a blushing face.

"Ouch!" Tao Ping shouted.

"My brother said that this time they sent me over was a beauty trick, and asked me to use the trick to not go back. Moreover, my brother also said that the route you chose might be the right one." Wang Meifeng blushed and finished speaking in one breath.

"Thank you! Do you know, little thing, I fell in love with you since the first time I saw you!" Tao Ping said that, and took Wang Meifeng into his arms.

Listening to the beauty's breathing in her arms was accelerating, Tao Ping decided that he could not let down this favorite in his arms no matter what.

Because the original Japanese army's urban defense fortifications in Tongxian County did not suffer much damage in Taoping's city, with the joint efforts of more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians, Taoping's new city defense fortifications was completed in advance at 10 pm on the 27th.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, when the last migrant worker was sent out of the city, Tao Ping told Zhang and Yang about the military command to Zhang and Yang in the sky. Zhang and Yang smiled at each other and said that they would report this matter to the superior organization as soon as possible.

"Captain, wake up! Wake up!"

Just like this, at five o'clock in the morning of the 28th, Tao Ping, who was originally trying to sleep for a while, was woken up by the bloodshot Lang Fang. Looking at the guy's excited expression, Tao Ping knew that the "dynamite pack ejector" must have been made.

"It's done!" Tao Ping asked angrily.

"It's done! Commander, you are really alive and Lu Ban's rebirth! This "dynamite pack ejector" is so terrible."

"Don't say anything else, just do it. Let's add some materials to the Japanese! Political Commissar Zhang still has two tons of shoe nails seized from the Japanese army. You can get it! Remember, put 20 kilograms of explosives and put ten kilograms of shoe nails. The output will be formed as soon as possible, and then it will be enough for the Japanese to drink a pot." Tao Ping clapped his hands and danced his feet and said.

After finishing breakfast at 6 a.m. on the 28th, Tao Ping received a telegram from the Nanshan Column, Hanzhong Column, and Guangdong and Guangxi Columns, saying that they had encountered the Japanese blocking troops on the road and would not arrive in Tong County three days later.

So Tao Ping, Political Commissar Zhang, Deputy Commander Yang, and Chief of Staff Zhou held a pre-war meeting and decided to make the final pre-war mobilization to prepare for the first battle on the 29th.

Considering that most of the new recruits accounted for now, in order to further boost morale, during the general mobilization before the war, it was Tao Ping's turn to speak, Tao Ping decided to carry out the copycat to the end and invited the song "Loyalty for the Country" that later generations Tu Honggang sang popular.

Of course, Tao Ping did not politely change the original songwriter's name to himself.

The wolf smoke rises

Looking northward

Dragon Raising Roll

The horse is neighing

Sword energy is like frost

My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River

Who can resist in the past twenty years

The sword is aimed at by the long sword

How many loyal souls of hands and feet are buried in other places

Why do you regret your family and country?

I feel speechless and bloody tears are everywhere

Horse hooves go south and people look north

Looking north at the grass green and yellow dust flying

I'm willing to defend my territory and open my borders again

China wants to congratulate everyone!

When Tao Ping's high-pitched and majestic singing rang in the horn in the playground, everyone present was deeply shocked by the moment, full of passion and ambition, and the infinite fighting spirit of serving the country and killing the enemy were deeply inspired!

So much so that the always-timed political commissar Zhang Hailong couldn't control himself. He was infected by this advanced culture that had been ahead of him for more than 60 years. After Tao Ping finished singing it, he sang with Tao Ping.

Finally, at the suggestion of Political Commissar Zhang, this song "Loyalty for the Country" was designated as a 911 regiment song, and the cargo yard left by the Japanese army in Tong County became a sea of ​​songs.

At 2:00 a.m. on June 29, after 130 casualties, the Caochuan troops finally arrived in Tongxian County. After six hours of rest and enemy reconnaissance, at 8:00 a.m., the corps leader Yoshixiong Kusawa decided to issue an attack order against Tongxian County.

In order to capture Tong County as soon as possible, the captain of the Kurachuan Yoshixiong Regiment arranged a group of artillery composed of 70mm 92 infantry artillery and 94 90mm light mortars in the front position of the attack queue.

Because in the view of Captain Caochuan Yixiong's regiment, these Chinese Communist Party guerrillas that captured Tongxian County were just a group of authentic Chinese farmers, and they could not use isolated cannons that only professional artillery soldiers could use. At most, they could only use direct fire sights such as anti-aircraft guns. The reason why they were able to capture Tongxian County (not to be said to be a fraudulent opening of Tongxian County) was just lucky. Moreover, after fighting with nearly 800 Japanese and puppet troops, they did not have much combat effectiveness now. Although the intelligence from the reconnaissance plane showed that two Chinese troops were driving to Tongxian County, and large-scale gatherings of personnel were being carried out in Tongxian County, Captain Caochuan Yixiong's regiment still did not take it seriously, because in his opinion, the group of Chinese farmers in Tongxian County could not resist his six-hour attack at all, and would soon become defeated like the Chinese army he had encountered before.

"Yamamoto, tonight I will invite you to eat Chinese roast chicken and grilled fish in the best hotel in Tongxian County." Captain Kusakawa Yoshibe, holding the Persian cat in his arms, said to Hiroshi Yamamoto, the deputy captain who was organizing troops to attack on the other end of the phone.
