Chapter 65 065 Wang Liang: As long as you surrender, I will spare your lives (4.3K)
The soldiers stationed at the battalion headquarters are under the organization of their respective companies and platoon leaders.

Intensive preparations for the night's combat mission.

This lively scene naturally attracted the attention of the cadres and soldiers of the Xing City Guerrilla Detachment who had just arrived at the station to rest after being contacted by Yin Hua.

Yin Hua, Ji Zhengshan, Meng Fan, Dai Lin, Qian Hao and other guerrilla detachment cadres got together.

Captain Meng Fan looked at the bustling scene outside and was very puzzled:

"What's the purpose of the independent battalion?"

"Looking at this posture, it seems to be preparing for battle?"

"I think the machine guns have been moved out and wiped for inspection."

"Where do you want to fight? Engage in a tough battle?"

Dai Lin, director of the political department, nodded:

"It seems that it is indeed a tough battle. I just passed by their battalion headquarters, and I heard that the commander of the cavalry company went to ask for a battle and was scolded bloody."

"If it is an ambush or a frontal encounter, the cavalry is definitely a trump card when our weapons and equipment are inferior to the enemy's."

"If the cavalry doesn't join, then this battle will probably be quite difficult."

Chief of Staff Ji Zhengshan looked at Qian Hao, the captain of the Armed Forces Team, who had been smiling half-smiling.

I think this kid may know the inside story:
"I said Lao Qian, you are in charge of intelligence in our guerrilla detachment, and you have always been supernatural."

"Tell us, where is the independent battalion going to fight?"

Qian Hao smiled mysteriously, and even played tricks:

"Leaders, I really know where they are going to fight."

"But I'm afraid I'll shock your jaws when I say it, so you can make a guess first, so you can be mentally prepared."

Dai Lin couldn't hold back, guessed:
"I guess it's the gun tower in which village?"

"Or is it raiding the puppet company's garrison in which town?"

"No, no, the pattern is too small, let's make it bigger." Qian Hao repeatedly shook his head.

Dai Lin frowned: "Could it be the stronghold for attacking devils?!"

Hearing that Dai Lin had finally guessed right, Qian Hao clapped his hands together: "That's right!"

"Their target tonight is the devil's stronghold in Yageying Township."

Originally, Qian Hao said that Dai Lin guessed right, the independent battalion was going to attack the devils stronghold.

Ji Zhengshan, Meng Fan and others were not too surprised.

They are all old fritters who have been in Xing City, and they know the enemy here like the back of their hands.

There are so many strongholds of the Japanese puppets, it can be said that there are as many as an ox hair.

Some strongholds are heavily guarded and complete permanent fortifications have been built. They are real strongholds.

But most of the strongholds, because there are only puppet troops or a small number of Japanese troops stationed, so the construction is somewhat shoddy.

As long as the attack force is sufficient, it is not difficult to take down such a stronghold under a strong attack.

But the few of them knew very well that Yageying Township was a real stronghold.

Meng Fan has a straightforward temper, and he couldn't help but complain:

"I said Laoqian, did you hear me right? How could it be the stronghold of Yageying Township?"

"This stronghold is full of a reinforced squadron of devils, plus a company of the puppet army. The total number of people is nearly 150."

"The most terrible thing is the construction of permanent fortifications. Three five-storey towers form a triangle to defend each other."

"Deep trenches have been dug around the perimeter, and barbed wire fences have been laid out. It's like a wall of iron and steel."

"Didn't Hao Zhi take us to a meeting to study and analyze before? If you want to take this stronghold with a frontal attack, at least a regiment of thousands of people must be brought up."

"And heavy firepower weapons are required. Even so, the casualty price to take down the stronghold will definitely not be small. It is definitely not as simple as sacrificing dozens of people."

"There are only a few people in the Independent Battalion with a few guns. If you dare to fight the Duck and Pigeon Ying Township stronghold, is their battalion commander crazy or desperate?"

Qian Hao said with a smile: "You also think they are crazy?"

"I think so too, it's simply beyond my control."

Ji Zhengshan looked at Yin Hua who had been silent all this time, and said:

"Old Yin, you just went to communicate with Commander Wang, has he talked to you about this?"

"It is a serious violation of discipline to mobilize troops to attack strongholds that cannot be conquered without the order of the superior."

Ji Zhengshan was the chief of staff of the original Xing City guerrilla detachment, and like Yin Hua, he was a full-time employee.

But Yin Hua is the deputy team leader, and he is higher than him in the ranking of team members.

In addition, Yin Hua and the independent battalion had been negotiating all along, so Ji Zhengshan wanted to hear Yin Hua's opinion.

Yin Hua smiled wryly and said, "We haven't been formally included in the independent battalion yet. If they have combat operations, naturally they won't discuss it with me."

"After contacting Battalion Commander Wang, my feeling is that he is very young, probably around 25 years old."

"You are young, who doesn't dare to think and do? Many earth-shattering events in history were done at the risk of the world."

Only Yin Hua continued: "I think Battalion Commander Wang is very bold."

"Even if the stronghold of Yageying Township cannot be defeated, there must be a lot of disturbance. At least the folks in Xing City will know that our Eighth Route Army is still there."

"If the stronghold is really knocked down, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese and puppets and revive our morale."

"No matter from which angle you look at it, I think this combat operation is unexpected, but after careful consideration, it seems necessary."

Ji Zhengshan lit a cigarette, pondered over Yin Hua's analysis, and felt that it seemed reasonable.

Meng Fan, who was born as a team leader and has a fiery temper, didn't listen to this, and questioned Yin Hua:

"I said Vice Captain Yin, did Battalion Commander Wang promise you something? Are you speaking for him like this?"

"Let's not talk about building strongholds first, tell us first, how do you plan to arrange us people?"

Dai Lin also echoed:
"Yeah, our detachment was reorganized by the independent battalion just like that? They are all at the deputy regiment level, why not merge?"

Reorganization and merging are very different in meaning.

Reorganization often involves the higher-level party bringing the lower-level party into the management system.

In the case of a merger, the two parties are at the same level and merged into one unit.

If reorganization is carried out under the circumstances of the same organizational unit, the cadres of the reorganized party will undoubtedly be demoted.

People are not sages, and it is understandable that everyone cares about their own vital interests.

Yin Hua said: "I can tell everyone with certainty that reorganization is certain, and downgrading is also inevitable. Everyone must be mentally prepared."

"This is an order from our superiors. As a cadre of the Eighth Route Army and as a soldier, we must obey it unconditionally and without compromise."

"It's normal to have opinions. If it is reasonable, you can report it to me, and I will communicate with Commander Wang."

"However, if someone refuses to carry out the order of the superior, is full of complaints, and does not cooperate with the reorganization, then simply take off the uniform and leave."

"After such a defeat, what face do we have to ask for this or that?"

"Even if we want all of us to be warriors, we have to admit it!"

"Who made our guerrilla detachment with thousands of people beaten down to less than 80 people?"

After Yin Hua finished speaking, Ji Zhengshan continued:
"Old Yin is very right. This is not buying vegetables at the market, you can bargain."

"Soldiers must obey orders, obey commands, and obey the arrangements of their superiors."

"No matter how everyone's position is adjusted, when they get to a new position, they must work hard and achieve results. We must not lose face of our guerrilla detachment!"

Both the deputy detachment leader and the chief of staff made clear statements.

Even if the other cadres had opinions and ideas, they could only hold back.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and Meng Fan suggested:
"Deputy Captain Yin, why don't you go and ask Battalion Commander Wang for instructions, can we watch the battle tonight?"

"On the one hand, it is to learn tactics and improve combat skills. On the other hand, it is to familiarize yourself with new troops and be able to better integrate into them."

Qian Hao also stood up and raised his hands in agreement: "Lao Meng's suggestion is good, let's study and see how he wins the battle."

Several people wanted to see how Wang Liang was going to fight the Yageying Township stronghold in this battle, even Ji Zhengshan had this intention.

Yin Hua had no choice but to communicate with Wang Liang.

Eleven at night.

Soldiers from the [-]st and [-]rd companies of the Independent Battalion moved towards Yageying Township with weapons and equipment.

Wang Liang approved the application of Yin Hua and other guerrilla detachment commanders and fighters to observe the battle, and instructed them to act with the headquarters.

It was 23:[-] in the morning.

Ou Xiang reported to Wang Lianghui:

"Battalion Commander, the first company and the third company are all in place and have entered the designated position."

"Okay, let me know and wait for my order." Wang Liang said.

I heard that the Independence Battalion only brought two companies, and [-] people did not come to Yingxiang to fight ducks and pigeons.

Ji Zhengshan and the others couldn't help being surprised, and started whispering.

"Isn't this nonsense? How many times are these two hundred people enough to charge?" Meng Fan started to rant.

Qian Hao also said: "And I found that the base in Yageying Township is not the same as before."

"The devils cleared away all the stones and soil slopes that could be used as shelters within a range of 300 to [-] meters outside the stronghold, and the whole area became an open land."

"Once a charge is launched, there is no cover, and it can only be used as a living target."

Ji Zhengshan couldn't help frowning, looking at Yin Hua, he didn't know how Wang Liang wanted to fight this battle.

You still have the courage to let people like them come to observe, aren't you afraid of making a joke?

After thinking about it, Ji Zhengshan couldn't help but said to Yin Hua:
"Old Yin, there is no way to fight this battle."

"Not to mention that there is no chance of winning, even if you lose, it is also a disastrous defeat."

"Go and persuade Battalion Commander Wang, don't let the soldiers advance any further, and withdraw as soon as possible before being discovered by the enemy."

Yin Hua couldn't laugh or cry, he was very embarrassed.

What is my identity, how can I persuade you.

But just when Yin Hua was embarrassed, Wang Liang made a big move.

I saw Zhao Shoutian organized several soldiers to move a searchlight.

After connecting the power supply, a bunch of dazzling lampposts hit the devil's stronghold.

Whether it was Yin Hua or Ji Zhengshan, seeing this situation, they couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

The devil's searchlights haven't spotted you yet.

You're fine, just blew yourself up.

Haven't fought this battle yet?

shit!
Da da da.
Da da da.
The devils in the gun tower were also taken aback by the sudden lighting.

Hastily set up the machine gun and fired wildly, to show the minimum respect.

Lieutenant Hiroshi Fujiwara, captain of the Japanese reinforcement team in the stronghold, was sleeping soundly.

Woke up by the sudden burst of gunfire.

Angrily, he ran out of the dormitory while dressing, and shouted towards the gun tower:

"Bastard! Why did you shoot?!"

The Japanese soldiers in the gun tower replied:
"Squad leader, I found that the enemy is using searchlights to shine on our fortifications."

"Nani?"

Hiroshi Fujiwara looked in disbelief. After tying up his pants, he climbed up the blockhouse, muttering:

"I'd like to see where the ignorant guy came from, and dared to come to my stronghold to make trouble."

Hiroshi Fujiwara went up to the gun tower, and the loudspeaker on Wang Liang's side was also ready.

"Hey hey, can you hear me?"

"Can you hear it? If you can hear it, the devil and traitor on the opposite side can shoot me back, okay?!" Wang Liang tested the effect of the loudspeaker developed by Geng Hui.

bang bang bang-

bang bang bang-

Da da da--

Da da da--

A series of bullets greeted him, sending dust flying.

It is not difficult to see that the effect of the speaker is really good.

Meng Fan couldn't understand Wang Liang's operation, so he started to spray:
"Isn't this pure stupid?"

Yin Hua, Ji Zhengshan and others were also confused by Wang Liang's actions.

Also encircled are the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold.

"Turn the searchlight 25 degrees to the west, and then shine forward 30 meters."

Hiroshi Fujiwara was carefully observing the situation outside the stronghold with a telescope from inside the blockhouse.

At this time, Wang Liang officially began to shout:

"The little devils and traitors in the stronghold, listen to me."

"I am Wang Liang, commander of the Independent Battalion of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"I came here tonight to attack your stronghold."

"If you are sensible, you are limited to 5 minutes to put down the suspension bridge, line up with weapons and come out to surrender."

"I can consider sparing your dog's life."

"But if you choose to fight in the corner and resist to the end."

"Then there is only one dead end, and you will die a very miserable death."

After Wang Liang finished shouting, Sun Shulin immediately continued to translate word by word in Japanese into the loudspeaker.

"Hahahaha, it's really interesting. I really like this guy who shouts." Hiroshi Fujiwara was directly amused.

Sun Jianfa, the company commander of the puppet army, also echoed:
"Taijun, the heads of these eight roads must have been smashed by the imperial army. They can no longer tell the difference between big and small kings, and they are fools."

Deputy Ishii Wei of the team suggested: "Fujiwara-kun, Balu has always been insidious and cunning."

"It's too suspicious to suddenly come to our stronghold to pick quarrels and make trouble with such a big fanfare tonight."

"There must be a conspiracy in it. I think it's better to call Chief Kawamoto to report the situation and ask him to send more reinforcements."

Ishii Wei is not an officer, his rank is Cao Chang, the highest in the Japanese military non-commissioned officer system.

With a long military age and rich combat experience, he gave more appropriate suggestions.

Fujiwara really didn't pay attention to the enemies outside.

But facing the suggestion of the older Ishii Wei, it is really hard to refute.

"Okay, Mr. Ishii Cao, it's up to you to contact me."

"But it's already early morning, and Chief Kawamoto should have already fallen asleep. If you disturb him because of such a trivial matter, you might be scolded."

Mamoru Ishii hesitated for a moment. During his hesitation, the telephone line was cut off by the kite.

Hiroshi Fujiwara was not to be outdone, and shouted in broken Chinese:
"Listen eight roads outside, I am Lieutenant Fujiwara Hiroshi, the highest military commander of the stronghold."

"I've killed a lot of Chinese people."

"Including Chinese soldiers, women, children, and the elderly, my hands are full of blood debts."

"Do you hate me? Are you men? I'm here today, waiting for you to come and seek revenge on me!"

Wang Liang's face darkened, and he ordered: "Fire!"

Da da da--

Da da da--

Da da da--

Crooked handles, Czech-style light machine guns, and Type [-] heavy machine guns fired wildly at the stronghold, spraying out angry dragons.

boom boom-

boom boom-

boom boom-

Grenadiers and mortars were also aimed at the devil's stronghold.

Suddenly the flames shot up into the sky, and there was a lot of commotion.
