The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 578

"It's too late, Lao Zhang, Lao Du, just believe me, gather your team immediately, and prepare to rush towards Yuan County, and I will explain to you in detail on the way." Han Feng said in a hurry.

Since the three mountain companies arrived at Zhongtiao Mountain, they have successfully jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army many times, and established a foothold in the Zhongtiao Mountain base.

Numerous battles have proved that Han Feng's judgment has always been accurate, and his military sense has always been the best among the three.

Out of absolute trust in Han Feng, Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng stopped talking, and immediately assembled the team and set off for Yuan County.

When the team was marching hurriedly on the way, Han Feng explained:
"The situation is like this. Three important arsenals of the Japanese army in Ji County, Yuan County, and Meng County were blown up by our combat unit. In a short period of time, it is impossible for the little devil to have sufficient ammunition."

"During this time, I have arranged human investigations on some roads entering and exiting Zhongtiao Mountain. If the Japanese army transported ammunition in these two days, it is impossible for us not to get news."

Zhang Min asked: "Then what happened to the Japanese army ambushing the National Army? The firepower shown by the devils doesn't look like ammunition is scarce."

Han Feng said decisively: "It's very simple. The devils took advantage of the national army's psychology and deliberately called the national army."

"on purpose?"

Han Feng said: "That's right. After several days of investigation, I can confirm that the Japanese army absolutely did not transport new ammunition into Zhongtiao Mountain."

"At the same time, the reconnaissance team noticed that in the past few days, several Japanese transport teams rushed from Yuan County and Meng County to Ji County."

"What exactly is being transported is too far away, and the reconnaissance team can't be sure. The goods are all covered with coarse cloth, and the devils seem to deliberately conceal people's eyes and ears."

"I didn't know the situation at first. What exactly is it that needs to be transported from Yuan County and Meng County to Ji County? I thought it was some supplies."

"It wasn't until the powerful firepower displayed by the Japanese army when they ambushed the National Army that I realized it."

"There is only one explanation. The devils secretly concentrated the few ammunition left by the Japanese defenders in Yuan County and Meng County on the Japanese army in Ji County."

"That is to say, the powerful firepower displayed by the Japanese army who ambushed just now may be the illusion that the last ammunition on hand of the Japanese army in the counties of Zhongtiaoshan was concentrated, so it can be shown temporarily."

After Han Feng explained, Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng suddenly realized.

"Understood, fully understood, I said why the little devil still has such ample firepower, the emotion is to gather all the ammunition, what I said is true, even if the arsenal is bombed, the little devil should still have some ammunition on hand Yes, it’s not a problem to concentrate on an ambush.”

Du Zhongcheng was a little speechless and said: "It's a very simple strategy. As long as the National Army can stand up for a while, the problem will be discovered soon. It's a pity..."

Zhang Min sneered: "Let's forget it, even if the national army can know the real situation, it is still a question of whether they have the courage to test it.

Let's see, after the national army retreats after being defeated this time, they will only become more and more afraid of death, and in the future, they will not dare to take the initiative to attack even if they say anything. "

Then I talked about the immediate attack on Yuan County.

Zhang Min said: "So, Lao Han, what you mean is that the devils concentrated all the ammunition in Yuan County and Meng County to the Japanese army in Ji County, so they were able to launch the ambush that seemed to have plenty of ammunition.

At this moment, the ammunition in the hands of the devil troops in Yuan County and even Meng County is actually very short. Let's take this opportunity to attack the county seat, and maybe we can really take it down. "

Han Feng smiled and said, "That's what it means. It's just that we have few people, and Meng County is relatively far away. Otherwise, we could divide our troops into two groups and take down two counties in one fell swoop."

"However, Yuan County's economic situation is far superior to that of Meng County. If Yuan County can be brought down, the supplies we can get are probably enough for us to support for a long time."

Speaking of this, Han Feng explained again: "In addition, Mr. Shen, the father of reporter Shen from Yuan County, has been secretly supporting our mountain company to fight against Japan. After taking down Yuan County this time, we have to put on a good show with Mr. Shen. .”

Then, Han Feng began to explain the specific acting plan to Zhang Min and Du Zhong on the road.

... The speed of the three mountain companies advancing all the way was extremely fast.

To say that the soldiers can achieve such a rapid march, we have to thank Han Feng, thank the independent regiment, and thank Kong Jie.

why?
Marching in the mountains, if you want to be fast, one depends on physical fitness, and the other of course depends on shoes.

Needless to say, Han Feng's mountain company has the most prosperous natal family.

Kong Jie prepared two pairs of modified field military boots for every soldier in the mountain company that can climb mountains as if walking on flat ground.

The ability to grip the ground is so strong, and it is comfortable and breathable. It is amazing that it can raise each foot into a "coddling".

As for the mountain companies of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, although they were already very good, the soldiers each brought two pairs of cloth boots.

But how can this compare to mountain military boots?
After Han Feng reported the situation to Kong Jie, the majestic Captain Kong waved his hand and simply sent another batch of field military boots to equip the soldiers of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment.

On the way, the soldiers of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment lamented the comfort of these field military boots.

Before I knew it, it took more than an hour to reach the vicinity of Yuan County smoothly.

Han Feng said: "Old rules, go in with a group first, and then contact the comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry in the city. After the battle begins, cooperate with the inside and outside, and quickly take down Yuan County."

"After taking down the county seat, we can't stay for a moment, mainly the devil's granaries and material warehouses, and evacuate immediately after they are all emptied.

The devil's ambush troops, as well as the reinforcements from the other two counties, will arrive in less than three hours. We must evacuate before then, and we have to allow an hour of maneuvering time to get rid of the pursuers. "

"no problem!"

"no problem!"

Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng replied.

After the rapid deployment, Han Feng sent several soldiers who disguised themselves as civilians in advance to sneak into the county through the search by the Japanese and puppet troops at the city gate.

Then, at the time agreed upon by the two parties, Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng divided the team into three groups and quickly approached the gate of Yuan County.

The battle broke out suddenly.

It also ended quickly.

The Japanese and puppet troops at the city gate were attacked from both inside and outside the city gate.

The various equipment of the mountain company is so elite that it is far superior to the ordinary Eighth Route Army troops. Not to mention the three American M2 [-]mm mortars, the original [-] small guns of the troops are enough for devils and puppet soldiers to drink a pot.

In addition, as Han Feng expected, the ammunition on hand of the Japanese and puppet troops staying in Yuan County was already quite scarce.

During the firepower confrontation between the two sides, the devil's heavy machine gun didn't even fire because of insufficient ammunition reserves.

Mostly counterattacks from rifle fire.

The city gate was the first to be breached, and then the three mountain companies continued to attack the Puppet Army Guard, the Devil's Gendarmerie, and the barracks.

The puppet army saw that the situation was over, and many chose to surrender.

The stubborn Japanese army suffered heavy casualties under the firepower of [-] mortars.

Some devils fled to the hinterland of the county in a panic.

While cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers of the mountain company touched the little devil's empty bullet box and scolded the poor devil.

After one capture, the devil's machine gunner had the most ammunition seized, but there were only more than 100 rounds.

Ordinary devils don't even have the usual sixty rounds of bullets, and most of them can only find a dozen scattered bullets in their pockets, and some even have less than ten bullets.

This is definitely after the ammunition depot was blown up, and all the remaining ammunition was sent to Ji County.

The devil's gendarmerie captain Harada Shaozuo, who escaped from the gendarmerie by chance, fled with the remaining ten devils around him.

The soldiers of the Mountain Company followed closely behind, and the bullets in the guns were basically empty.

Hearing the gunshots that were almost at hand, Harada sighed in his heart, feeling that he could not escape death.

Then I turned into an alley, and everything seemed to be arranged in advance by the script.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper waved at Harada and his party, "Taijun, please go this way, I will take you to hide."

Harada didn't hesitate, he knew the housekeeper, he was the housekeeper of Shen Yousan, a well-known wealthy businessman in Yuan County.

After Yuan County was occupied by the imperial army, Shen Yousan got very close to some merchants and the army of the empire. He even assisted the imperial army and was deeply trusted. Harada did not have any doubts.

The butler led Harada and his party into the cellar of the Shen family mansion.

Not long after, Han Feng arrived with his troops and knocked on the door of Shen's house.

"Fellow townsman, there is a group of about ten devils passing by here, have you seen it?"

"No sir!"

The voice continued: "This is the Shen family, Shen Yousan's home, right?"

"Yes!" said the butler's voice.

The voice suddenly became furious, "I heard that Shen Yousan colluded with the Japanese and even helped the Japanese with affairs. This damned traitor, the devil passed by here, you probably hid him, right?"

Harada, who was hiding in the cellar, could understand Chinese, and was immediately shocked.

Then he heard the voice yelling: "If you don't hand over the devil, I will rob your Shen family, comrades!"

"Sir, sir, you can't do this, this is the food of our Shen family!"

"Sir, you are bandits, bandits! We really didn't harbor Japanese."

……

The housekeeper's screams reached the ears of Harada and his gang in the cellar.

Listening to the steward's wailing, it seemed that the group of Eight Routes were robbing the Shen family's granary.

Harada was filled with emotion for a moment:
What a good citizen, he would rather lose his family wealth than save us!

But in fact, the grain in the granary was secretly prepared by Master Shen for the Shandi Company, and it just happened to be sent out right now.

"We took the food away, I advise you to take care of yourself, don't be a minion for a tiger, and then be a running dog for the devil!"

The cursing sound gradually went away, and the yard became quiet.

After a long time, the entrance to the cellar was opened.

The butler released Harada and his party from the cellar.

"Taijun~"

Thousands of words called out.

Harada patted the butler on the shoulder, looked at Master Shen not far away, cupped his hands, and said gratefully: "Master Shen, thank you for saving your life. We will never forget the Shen family's kindness to the Great Japanese Empire."

……

The Japanese army who ambushed the national army heard that the county was attacked and rushed back to help, but the eight roads had already disappeared.

All that was left to them were empty granaries and material warehouses.

Harada returned to the gendarmerie again, and he, the captain of the gendarmerie, was the highest officer in charge of the entire Yuan County.

After returning to the headquarters to redeploy the defense of Yuan County.

Two days later, Harada took the officers who had fled that day, and solemnly rushed to Shen's house in all their clothes, and personally thanked Shen Yousan.

In this way, Shen Yousan successfully became a guest of the devil's gendarmerie, and at the same time became the envy of many traitors who fawned on the devil.

Of course, there were some who scolded them, those who passed by the Shen family, shouted and looked away, and secretly spit at the Shen family.

to express anger and disdain.

Harada also knew all this, on the contrary, he was very happy, and felt that the relationship between Shen Yousan and the imperial army had been further promoted.

Shen Yousan seemed to be happy with his identity as a traitor, even after the devil's granary was robbed, he expressed his willingness to support a batch of grain for the imperial army in the county as military rations.

As a result, the Japanese army trusted Shen Yousan more and more.

Shen house.

In the eyes of the common people, the Shen family is at the top of the sky, and Master Shen is full of glory and wealth, but this matter is settled in the garden, silently looking into the distance.

The only housekeeper who knew about Master Shen's new life said helplessly, "Master..."

On the contrary, Master Shen smiled and comforted the housekeeper, "It's okay, it's just a temporary humiliation, time will eventually prove everything."

"Now that we have gained the trust of the Japanese, it will be more convenient to secretly open up the material transportation channel with the guerrillas. You should start to speed up the process."

"Yes!" The butler replied...
